Thunderbolts in existence

(sigh...)

Sorry not to be spammy but I am horrible at embedding 2 separate quotes: Those 2 bolts are still active and testing right? (SONGS system?)

San Onofre Nuclear Generating station (now retired) has two 1003s. One on the spent fuel building and another next to a parking lot north of the plant.

Also, in addition to not serving any purpose any longer after the plant closed, they were long replaced by omni-directional Whelen sirens many years ago now.

Well yea I know the plant is retired but I heard that they were still testing the sirens as the "Danger" or "Hazards" of the plant were still there. I was just asking if the 1003s still got a little bit of exercise with the whelens but I guess not.

The Whelens are still active and used ,but not for emergency's at SONGS ,they are now used for Tsunamis and other emergency events. IDK about if the 1003s are still tested since they are the evacuation sirens for the plant and not apart of the community alert siren system (Whelens) ,but since I go down to Dana Point every June for vacation we have stopped by the plant and last year the 1003 that is pole mounted ,the horn was pointed at the ocean ,and when we went this year the horn was pointing west. I don't remember the horn direction the reactor mounted 1003 was pointed last year and this year ,so IDK about that one ,but the Whelens are still controlled by the jurisdictions but they don't test them in mid October like they used to ,they haven't announced a new test date and whether if it would be annually or monthly.
