An example of european nuclear power plant emergency planning

This paper summarizes, as an example of european policy, the emergency planning arrangements in a European utility. The paper describes documentation at company and plant level, interface with local authorities and central government emergency organization structure at plant and company level, response at different phases of an emergency, and the necessary training and exercise programmes. It should be noted that the paper describes the procedures in one utility. Whilst generic policy may span geographical boundaries, detailed application may be different. (B.C.A.) 06 appendixes
