This book provides a history of emergency planning with respect to nuclear power plant accidents from the 1950’s to the 2000’s. It gives an overview of essential concepts that a working emergency planner should know, including brief overviews of the health physics and plant engineering that applies to emergency planning. Each chapter covers topics unique to radiological planning that distinguish it from planning for natural disasters. Some of the topics include processes that damage fuel, reactor source terms, basic dispersion theory, protective measures for the public and emergency worker, environmental surveys, and the essential elements of a drill and exercise program. Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants is not intended as a guide to meeting regulatory requirements but provides an understanding of the essential concepts and language of radiological planning, so the planner can apply those concepts to their particular situation.

Course OverviewThis course introduces the student to the basic concepts and terminology of the offsite emergency preparedness program for commercial nuclear power plants. It provides an introduction to the program's exercise evaluation regulations, philosophy, and methodology. Course Objectives:The pre-exercise, exercise, and post-exercise role and responsibilities of the evaluator are covered in depth. The majority of the course is devoted to the six evaluation areas: * Emergency Operations Management * Protective Action Decision-making * Protective Action Implementation * Field Measurement and Analysis * Emergency Notification and Public Information * Support Operations/FacilitiesPrimary AudienceThis web-based independent study course is primarily for Federal agency and contract staff who will serve as offsite evaluators for REP exercises Limited numbers of State, local, and volunteer agency staff who are participants in REP exercises may also be interested in taking the course. This independent study course is a prerequisite for the 3-day invitation only classroom-based REP Exercise Evaluation course.
