BUCHANAN: Indian Point’s new emergency warning system had a nearly flawless quarterly test June 3, with only one of 172 sirens across four counties failing during the four-minute test. The new system met the 97 percent threshold required by federal regulators in four earlier tests, but the latest test will help make the case for shutting down the old system completely as scheduled for late summer. The malfunctioning siren was in Peekskill, Westchester County officials said. Indian Point workers are investigating that device, company officials said.
