WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?  I haven't seen a story like this in years, and I'd like to know if there's a sudden urgency.  From Fox: 

Texas residents were warned by the FBI that a week-long nuclear incident training exercise will happen in Houston starting Monday.  

FBI Houston alerted the public that the exercise will last from Monday to Friday this week. 
"A large-scale, multi-agency nuclear incident TRAINING EXERCISE will take place May 1-5 in southeast Houston and Harris County. The training exercise will NOT pose risks to area residents. Please do not be alarmed by training-related activity," FBI Houston tweeted Friday. 

The training exercise will take place from in and around NRG Park/SH 288 to SH 146 to I-10 E to Hwy 225 and in and around Ellington Field. 

"Please do not be alarmed by training-related activity, including presence of military personnel/aircraft and people in protective equipment," the FBI added. 

Last May, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration led a similar "major radiological incident exercise" in Austin, Texas. 

More than 30 local, state and federal agencies were said to have taken part in the exercise called "Cobalt Magnet 22" from May 16-22. 

The exercise took place at various locations around Austin and was meant to simulate a radiological attack, enabling response personnel to practice protecting public health and safety, providing emergency relief to affected populations, and restoring essential services.

COMMENT:  Sounds like the right thing to do, but I wonder whether something is happening to stimulate a sense of urgency.  Iran, we know, is moving closer to perfecting an atomic bomb.

If we are in the midst of a major crisis, someone might nudge the White House to level with us.
