Duane Arnold siren system upgrades after nuclear warning history
The 10 mile emergency planning zone sirens, installed in 1982 to alert nearly all residents within five miles and most within ten, will be retired from nuclear warnings as NextEra removes nuclear alerts. Most sirens are solar powered with some on power lines, and Linn County plans to own all while Benton County remains available. The grid will shift to quadrant alerts for severe weather and regular maintenance to prevent disrepair.
