The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced plans for a new notification system for the nuclear power plant in Luzerne County. Previously, the main alert from the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station would send alerts through sirens and a broadcast message on air. The new system will send an alert to any phones in a 50-mile radius and other methods including on-air. FEMA officials hope to have the system approved and implemented by October.
