🚨 Notice: Emergency Exercise at Oak Ridge National Laboratory 🚨

On Wednesday, June 3, emergency responders from the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and federal, state, and local agencies will conduct a planned emergency response exercise at ORNL.
Exercise Time: 8:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. EDT

Residents may see emergency personnel conducting simulated response activities, environmental monitoring, and sampling around the Oak Ridge Reservation. These activities are part of a scheduled training exercise and are not related to an actual emergency.
