Sirens to sound for three minutes at 2 p.m.

POTTSTOWN, PA — Exelon Generation will conduct its semi-annual, full-volume test of the emergency warning sirens surrounding Limerick Generating Station on December 7 at approximately 2 p.m. This is one of two semi-annual tests performed each year.

The Limerick warning siren system consists of sirens located in the 10-mile radius around Limerick Generating Station in Montgomery, Chester, and Berks Counties. The sirens are not a signal to evacuate, but a warning to tune to a local Emergency Alert Broadcast television or radio station. County emergency management authorities activate the sirens, which can be used in the event of any emergency, including severe weather.

Limerick Generating Station is located approximately 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The plant produces enough carbon-free electricity to power two million homes.
