12/08/2014

buchanan – entergy will be conducting security training drills at the indian point energy center during parts of the day and evening on thursday, december 11 using simulated weaponry that sounds like actual gunfire. during the drills, persons near the site may hear the sound of simulated gunfire as participants carry out simulated attack scenarios that are intended to be as realistic as possible.

local law enforcement agencies have been informed of the events.

entergy will be using a technical innovation for the exercise known as “miles” gear, or multiple integrated laser engagement systems. these systems involve the use of laser “bullets” and vests with laser-detection equipment, which duplicate the effects, including the sound, of live ammunition. miles gear is used for military and counter-terrorism training across the country to make it as realistic as possible without using real bullets.

indian point energy center, in buchanan, n.y., is home to two operating nuclear power plants, unit 2 and unit 3, which generate approximately 2000 megawatts of electricity for homes, business and public facilities in new york city and westchester county.
