POTTSTOWN, PA (December 3, 2018) — Exelon Generation will conduct its semi-annual, full-volume test of the emergency warning sirens surrounding Limerick Generating Station on Monday, December 3 at approximately 2 p.m. This is one of two semi-annual tests performed each year.
The Limerick emergency warning siren system consists of sirens located in parts of Montgomery, Chester and Berks counties within a 10-mile radius of the plant. The purpose of the sirens is to alert residents to tune to an Emergency Alert System (EAS) television or station for information in the event of an emergency.
Limerick Generating Station is located approximately 21 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The plant produces enough carbon-free electricity to power two million homes.
