How ironic; two of my favorite interests on one website. Sirens and nuclear energy.
I never said other places don't get worse weather than where my house is, I just was trying to get to the point that some places that don't have sirens might benefit from having them.
Yeah the plant was never constructed, a operation nuclear reactor does exist at Dow, it may not be widely known but it is but along the lines of local knowledge.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a TRIGA reactor?
Yes it it.

Just got back from the upper peninsula, saw the model 5 in Bruce crossing and there was a sentry of some sort in ewen (looked to be a 7v8 or 3v8-H, it has horns, I know that much) so yeah that's what I saw, model 5 was definetly a fire siren.

The town of Newberry used to have a Federal Model 500. I believe it has been replaced with a 2001DC.

I'm assuming it's for fire calls?

Yes, I believe so. If you look at Google maps, you can see it.
