ATHENS-Emergency responders from federal, state and local agencies will join Tennessee Valley Authority personnel in an emergency preparedness training drill involving the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant on Wednesday, October 7.
The drill is part of an ongoing series of exercises required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to ensure an effective and coordinated response to protect the safety of the public in the unlikely event of an emergency at Browns Ferry.

Wednesday’s drill will involve nearly 1,000 personnel working in multiple locations, including near the plant. Residents may see increased vehicle traffic and may hear on-site and off-site sirens briefly activated.
A similar graded exercise will be conducted in November and results will be shared in a public meeting at a later date.
