Re: VC Summer Nuclear is Decommissioning their sirens

Then what is their excuse? those are like the easiest sirens to maintain! and they are also very reliable. The cost and the effectiveness of the system, as I clearly outlined in my above replies. Pardon me, only saw that after I posted, but how would labor be that expensive, and I think Federal Sig...

Re: VC Summer Nuclear is Decommissioning their sirens

Sorry if I’m going off topic, but what type of sirens are they? 2001-SRNBs, 2001-130s, and 3 Modulators. Then what is their excuse? those are like the easiest sirens to maintain! and they are also very reliable. The cost and the effectiveness of the system, as I clearly outlined in my above replies.

Re: VC Summer Nuclear is Decommissioning their sirens

Yeah, I can understand decommissioning older sirens like thunderbolts since they require oil and belt changes, but something as new as modulators and 2001's is pretty silly. Of course this is the nuclear industry which has a history of sillyness. There's a video on YouTube of the first test of the ...

Re: VC Summer Nuclear is Decommissioning their sirens

This isn't very surprising to me as the NRC allows alternate methods of warning other than outdoor sirens. Let's do some quick math. 109 sirens in the VC Summer EPZ 109 x 4 batteries at each siren site = 436 batteries If you figure about $100 a battery, that's $43,600 every 3 years or so to replace ...

Re: Beaufort county, SC (Hilton Head island) new mystery sirens

That news article and vote occurred in April when many municipalities and cities that rely on sales tax/tourism revenue began to crack down on expenses that were not vital due to the fear that revenue would be well below normal this year. It didn't turn out that way in many places but I myself had s...

Re: Castlewood 3T22 to be removed

There's no reason the motor on that siren couldn't be rewound unless it was a catastrophic failure. It's been done before on both single and three phase siren models. Sounds like they're about to spend a lot more money than what is remotely necessary for a siren that won't last nearly as long.

Re: Dry Pair replacement

Mike- Give me a call or shoot me an email. We have done multiple systems where we have converted old dry pair or phone line systems to modern control methods in an economical manner.
