Nuclear Regulation: Unique Features of Shoreham Nuclear Plant Emergency Planning

摘要

The report presents a review of the procedures followed to date in preparing, assessing, and testing off-site emergency response planning around the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. The objective was to determine whether the procedures being followed at Shoreham are different from those at other commercial nuclear plants. In summary, NRC has made no final decision on the adequacy of the Shoreham off-site emergency plan, but this unique case has resulted in several significant differences from earlier nuclear plant licensing proceedings. For example, the exercise testing the effectiveness of the off-site plan was carried out without state and local participation. NRC's licensing board will be conducting hearings in 1987 to try to resolve several outstanding issues relating to the state and local decisions not to participate in offsite planning.
