Sequoyah reactorNearly 1,000 emergency responders from the Tennessee Valley Authority and state and local agencies will participate today in a drill at the Sequoyah Nuclear Power Plant near Soddy-Daisy and TVA's downtown offices.
TVA spokesman Jim Hopson said area residents may see radiological monitoring teams and hear sirens sounded as part of the annual test of emergency response activities at the nuclear plant.
Today's drill will be followed by a graded exercise in November, and results will be shared in a Department of Homeland Security public meeting.
