BUCHANAN — Most of the emergency sirens in the four-county zone around the Indian Point nuclear power plants worked during yesterday's test.
While the results were a major improvement over a similar drill in March, when a software glitch shut down the 156-siren system for four hours, local emergency officials are looking for more. The sirens are meant to alert residents within a 10-mile radius of the plants of an emergency and to have them seek additional information from local media sources.
