(KLZA)-- Kimberly Tanner, Emergency Preparedness Offsite Coordinator and Matthew Nee, Emergency Preparedness Manager from the Cooper Nuclear Station located near Brownville, met with Richardson County Commissioners last Wednesday to update Commissioners on emergency training and emergency plans for the nuclear plant.
During the meeting they informed the Board that Cooper Nuclear Station will be moving away from using the warning sirens and going to the IPAWS program that would inform the area of an emergency at the plant.
IPAWS sends emergency notifications to cell phones.
It is likely the sirens, currently in use would be turned over to the counties for their use.
