On-Site Contingency Planning at Pt. Lepreau NGS

Abstract

On-site contingency plans are required as part of the licensing process for Canadian nuclear power plants. The objective of these plans is to mitigate the consequences of an emergency and to provide assurance that all reasonable measures will be taken to protect health and safety and minimize property damage. This paper describes the on-site contingency plans that have been prepared for the Pt. Lepreau Generating Station. The interaction between the on-site and off-site plans is also discussed.
