Switzerland’s annual siren test: what you need to know
"If you ever hear the alarm and it’s NOT the first Wednesday in February, we’re in trouble."

I used to work on a technology park next to a nuclear registered site where they enrich uranium fuel rods.
Every Tuesday at 10am they test the alarm system.
If there was a new recruit it was a standing joke that all the technicians, upon hearing the alarm, would leg it to the car park and drive off at speed leaving the newbie terrified.

nuclear sites in the UK
have fail-safe alarms. They beep continually. It's when it fucking *stops* that brown trousers are issued as standard PPE

Well, I can only speak from 14 years experience of working next door to Urenco.
Every Tuesday, 10am, awoooooga.
Funny story though. A colleague of mine was interviewing for a graduate mechanical engineer to join his team. One of the interviewees was a muslim lad with a long beard. He had a lot of trouble finding our reception so had been walking around the Urenco perimeter fence with his rucksack.
He was escorted to the interview by two policemen with machine guns who then interviewed our receptionist about the position to see if they were allowed to shoot this kid or not. Poor sod, normally just the interview process is enough to give you the shits.
