Emergency responders from federal, state and local agencies will join TVA personnel in an emergency preparedness graded exercise involving the Sequoyah nuclear plant on Wednesday, Sept. 14. 

The exercise is part of an ongoing series of training drills and exercises required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to ensure an effective and coordinated response to protect the health and safety of the public in the unlikely event of an emergency at Sequoyah.  A similar Sequoyah training drill was conducted on Aug. 17. 

The graded exercise on Sept. 14 will involve hundreds of personnel working in multiple locations, including near the plant. Residents may see increased vehicle traffic and may hear on- and off-site sirens briefly activated. 

Results of the exercise will be shared at a public meeting on Friday, Sept. 16, at 11 a.m. in TVA’s Missionary Ridge building auditorium, at 1101 Market St.
