AI Summary

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 cover various aspects of emergency planning, including plume transport models, radiological monitoring, public notification, evacuation routes, transportation for those dependent on it, and post-accident operations. The agency must consult with relevant public and private parties, consider safety effectiveness and costs, and discuss alternatives and implementation stages. If the Governor determines the plans are no longer adequate to protect public health and safety, they can request the federal government to withdraw the plans and revoke the operating license for the nuclear power plants.
