India
Emergency wing has the population data and demographic data to handle any nasty
situation. The population data will cover floating population as well as the permanent
residents around the nuclear plant. The list of regular employees and contract workers are
given to them to handle the situation.
Even though the nuclear plants in India are erected, commissioned and operated as per
the norms stipulated by the nuclear safety rules, accidents do occur under many critical
conditions.
So, it is the primary aim of the nuclear scientists and operating team to manage the
emergency and untoward happenings with care and caution. Or else the entire nation,
environmentalists and opposition parties will pounce on the rulers.
Apart from the duties of the emergency units, the Nuclear Power Plant Chief Operating
Officer has to chalk out emergency plans to save the public from calamity. There should be
complete transparency in all their emergency activities and anticipated dangers in the plant.
Significant guidelines are to be listed for the operating staff and nearby residents to escape from
nuclear exposure.
The site details, plant layout, exit path, location of First-Aid room, emergency door
details etc are to be displayed in all vital areas in and around the nuclear power station.
