Doubts about the first mass sending of alerts to mobile phones for a nuclear emergency in Vandellòs II
The Directorate General for Civil Protection, under the Ministry of Interior, carried out this Monday at 11:00 AM the first drill of the mass alert system for mobile phones (ES-Alert) for a nuclear emergency in the closest influence area to Vandellòs II. It had never before been put into practice alongside the Catalan nuclear power plants. Without yet having the information from telecommunications operators and surveys of residents, there are doubts about the arrival of alerts in some dark areas, without coverage or with deficiencies, within the first ten-kilometer radius of the plant.
