A Response Map for use with Nuclear Electric's Irradiated Fuel Transport Flask Emergency Plan

Pages 97-101 | Published online: 19 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

A response map to be used in the initial phase of Nuclear Electric's Emergency Plan for irradiated fuel transport has been produced. The Emergency Plan itself is outlined and the role of the map in identifying the most appropriate source of health physics expertise is described. With the recent change in Alert Centre the opportunity was taken to revise this map in order to improve its usefulness and confirm its accuracy. The revised map was prepared using route planning computer software to determine the boundaries of the response area of each Power Station and other agencies involved in the Emergency Plan. The potential for future development in emergency response is discussed, examining in particular the role of route finding and mapping software, including databases of specialist materials and equipment, and in-car systems to guide those attending the emergency.
