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.
