What happens when a site emergency occurs at the Seabrook nuclear power plant?
| Sirens within the 10-mile emergency planning zone around the plant will sound, alerting the public to tune to local Emergency Alert System broadcasters for official information. A site emergency involves a serious incident, such as a fire in a safety system, but is not as serious as a general emergency.

What happens if a general emergency occurs at the Seabrook nuclear power plant?
| Sirens within the 10-mile zone will sound alerting people to tune to local media outlets for official information. Some public protection measures are likely. In a general emergency, the most severe situation, sheltering and evacuation decisions would be made by local emergency management agencies advised by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and officials with Florida Power and Light (the power plant's owners.)

I heard warning sirens. What should I do?
Sirens for the nuclear power plant are located throughout the Seacoast. They are tested twice yearly. If an emergency is in progress instead of a test, local Emergency Alert System broadcast stations will carry news of the emergency. If it is only a test, no emergency information will be broadcast. (See more about emergency sirens below.) The local EAS broadcaster is WOKQ-FM 97.5.

Potassum Iodide pills for protection against radiation.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has enabled each individual who lives or works in an Emergency Planning Zone surrounding either the Seabrook Station or Vermont Yankee nuclear power plants to receive one tablet of potassium iodide from the State of New Hampshire. In event of a radiation emergency, you would take the pill to protect yourself. If you'd like a potassium iodide pill, you must submit an application form, available at the Exeter town office, 10 Front Street. You may also download an online copy of the application form from the New Hampshire health and human services office by clicking here. www.dhhs.state.nh.us For more information on this program, please call the Portsmouth district office for NH Health and Human Services at 603 433-8300.

Sirens will sound in Seacoast communities if there is a general emergency or a site emergency at the Seabrook nuclear power plant. The sirens make a loud, steady, wailing sound that lasts at least several minutes.

If you hear the sirens turn on a radio immediately and tune to 97.5 FM. This station will broadcast an emergency message indicating the type of emergency. Radio announcements will tell you what to do. Staying tuned to the radio might be all you need to do. Or, you might be told to take other action.

If no emergency messages are being broadcast on 97.5 FM or other local media outlets, the sirens may be undergoing a test or there may be, although it is not likely, a malfunction of the siren system. (See below.)

Fire and police officers will also help notify those with special needs. Boaters in the area will be alerted by the Coast Guard. Channels 16 and 22 on marine radios will also give information to boaters. The sirens would also be able to broadcast spoken emergency messages to alert people at beaches.

If you hear a siren, go indoors. Tune to a local Emergency Alert System (EAS) station. The Exeter area emergency alert station is WOKQ-FM, 97.5. In case of an emergency, stay tuned to the EAS station. If emergency conditions change, you may be given new instructions. If an actual emergency ensures, do not use landline phones or cell phones unless necessary. Leave the lines open for emergency personnel.

Emergency Alert System Station Unintentional Siren Activation
An unintentional siren sounding can occur due to a malfunction or other problem. If a siren sounds, residents should tune to the EAS station. If the sirens were sounded unintentionally, you would be notified via a regular news broadcast. EAS tones and messages would only be used in the event of an actual emergency.

Local Siren Use
In addition to the three-to-five minute steady sirent that would sound for an emergency at the Seabrook nuclear power plant, other siren tones may be used by local emergency officials. These other siren tones may be sounded during local emergencies or testing. The 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone The area approximately 10 miles surrounding the Seabrook nuclear power plant is called the Emergency Planning Zone. There is an emergency plan for each community inside the zone. However, it may not be that everyone within the 10-mile zone would need to take action in an emergency. The areas affected would depend on weather and the type of emergency. State public safety and health officials would continually review the situation. They would decide the best actions to protect you. In case of an emergency, listen to the EAS for specific instructions for your community.
