Nuclear Emergency Preparedness

Nuclear power stations are safe and efficient. Although it is highly unlikely that a nuclear emergency should occur at our V.C. Summer Station, basic information on how to respond during an emergency is provided in this section.

The state and communities located within 10 miles of a nuclear power station have prepared emergency response plans. These plans provide guidelines to the state and local government organizations which ensure effective direction and control in a nuclear emergency. The plans include procedures for warning the public and for taking protective actions, such as sheltering or evacuation, in the event of a nuclear emergency.

Explore the linked pages to learn more about our emergency planning efforts. For additional information about nuclear energy, we invite you to contact the Newberry County Department of Public Safety located at 3239 Louis Rich Drive
