    My area tests the NPP’s sirens the first Monday of every month and now I just tune it out which worries me. Hopefully if it ever sounds in a weird time my brain picks up something’s very wrong.

      I do sometimes feel like it would be better if they didn’t test these things so much. So that when they went off they were actually a shock when they were used for real as they’re supposed to be.

      There is a nuclear power station near me and they always sound the siren on the last Friday of every month at 10am, when I first moved to the area every time it went off I always used to have to go and check the calendar because I was never 100% clear if it was or wasn’t the last Friday of the month. But after a while I just stopped checking the calendar, so at some point I’m probably going to get irradiated. I suppose with hurricanes there are at least visual clues that a hurricane might be happening, what does a melting down power station look like?
