I don't like not having sirens around them, but I understand why they did what they did. This is just my option; this is a bad move in my opinion. I just prefer to have sirens around nuclear plants and an EAS system with them as well.

This is a bad move if it melts down (hope not) they will have to pay the price of lives for it.
I don't think that's how it works. They wouldn't decommission the sirens if they didn't think there was a good reason to, or if they didn't think there was an adequate early warning system to replace it. If there is a nuclear meltdown, sirens or no siren, people might die anyway. Most people these days have phones, a TV, or both, and even those who don't will likely find out from a friend or neighbor. I love sirens as much as the next guy, but in some applications they are obsolete. Nuclear plants aren't required to have them anymore, and they most definitely take into account the population the warning can reach.

All units are now gone, the EMA bought a few units with controls but I am under the understanding that WSS has them in their possession now.
