Whenever required, the nuclear facility is able to mobilise the services of the ambulance and paramedical staff at its site. Equipment and materials for handling a nuclear emergency are kept at a designated place of the nuclear facility and ERC (Emergency Response Centre).

GET INSIDE: If warned of the possibility of a radiation hazard, immediately get inside the nearest building and move away from windows. Put as many walls between you and the outside to protect you from the radiation outside. NUCLEAR DETONATIONS: Nuclear detonations are the most dangerous radiation emergency.

A meltdown or explosion at a nuclear facility could cause a large amount of radioactive material to be released into the environment. People at the nuclear facility would probably be contaminated and possibly injured if there were an explosion. People in the surrounding areas could also be exposed or contaminated.

A reactor SCRAM or emergency shutdown takes between 1 and 5 seconds. A controlled shutdown takes 6 to 10 hours.

In a serious nuclear accident, local officials will likely call for an evacuation, thereby increasing the distance between you and the radiation. Shielding — Like distance, the more heavy, dense materials between you and the source of the radiation, the better.

During any radiation emergency, follow the radiation protection principles of time, distance, and shielding. Limit your time exposed to radiation, stay as far away as possible from a radioactive source, and shield yourself from radiation by going deep inside a sturdy building. If the emergency is outside, Get inside.

You have been sheltered because of the potential for dangerous levels of radiation in the first 24 hours following a nuclear detonation. After 24 hours, outdoor radiation levels will have fallen significantly but may still warrant protective measures in your area.

Make sure you have an Emergency Supply Kit for places you frequent and might have to stay for 24 hours. It should include bottled water, packaged foods, emergency medicines, a hand-crank or battery- powered radio to get information in case power is out, a flashlight, and extra batteries for essential items.

In a general emergency, there is substantial damage to the nuclear fuel, with a potential for loss of containment integrity and a radiation release. Any radiological release could exceed EPA public exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate plant area.

The EPA prepares for, and responds to, emergencies involving radioactive materials. Depending on the location and nature of the incident, the EPA may assume primary authority for response, or it may act in a supporting role. The exact actions the EPA takes during an emergency depends on a number of factors.

Ragusa recommends rural parts of Texas, Florida and California (far from large population centres which might make attractive targets) as places to survive a nuclear exchange. He says: 'The reason why I picked these three states is because they are near water and have warm climates.

The emergency classifications increase in severity from Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE); Alert; Site Area Emergency (SAE); and General Emergency (GE). Both nuclear power plants and research and test reactors use these terms as defined below.
