If an accident should occur at the North Anna Power Station,
it is likely that only a part of the area around the station would be affected.
To help alert the public in the affected areas during an emergency, the area
within a 10-mile radius has been divided into protective action zones. These
zones are identified by political jurisdictions or easily identifiable geographic
boundaries.
This web site contains a map
which outlines the protective action zones. You should examine this map, determine
which zone you live in and mark that zone on the map. You should also mark the
zone you live in on the emergency evacuation map in the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory.
If an accident were to occur at the North Anna Power Station,
the area within 50 miles of the station would be assessed to determine if there
has been any impact on the environment. If there is any impact, the public in
the affected area would be notified. If any actions are necessary, the public
would be informed of such actions to be taken.
Evacuation Assembly Centers
Should an evacuation be directed for all or part of the 10-mile
emergency planning zone around the North Anna Power Station, persons affected
should proceed to their local Evacuation
Assembly Center. The main purpose of the Evacuation Assembly Centers is
to provide a checkpoint to monitor radiation contamination. Evacuation Assembly
Centers will also provide shelter, food and clothing for those who need assistance.
