Bill > H2064

This bill directs the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to assess and report on the preparedness plans for a radiological accident at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station and the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. The report will evaluate the need for and appropriateness of additional state and local activities or programs beyond the existing radiological emergency preparedness plans, covering areas such as plume transport and dose assessment, monitoring equipment, emergency notification and communication, public information, emergency facilities and equipment, protective response, transportation, medical and public health support, and related planning and training. The recommendations will be developed in consultation with public and private stakeholders, considering cost, coordination with federal agencies, and implementation stages. Additionally, the bill states that if the Governor determines the radiological plans are no longer adequate to protect public health and safety, the Governor shall notify the Federal Emergency Management Agency to withdraw the plans and call on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to revoke the operating license and begin the decommissioning process.
