For planning purposes, four classes of emergencies have been defined for nuclear power stations. Notifications of Unusual Events A minor problem has taken place. No release of radioactive matter is expected. Federal, state and city/county officials will be kept informed. Alert A minor problem has occurred. Small amounts of radioactive matter could be released inside the station. All state and local officials will be informed and will be asked to stand by. It is not likely that the public will have to do anything. Site Area Emergency A more serious problem has occurred. Small amounts of radioactive matter could be released into the area right around the station. If the public needs to be alerted, sirens will be sounded. Turn to your EAS radio or television stations for more information. All appropriate officials will be informed and ready to help you if needed. General Emergency This is the most serious kind of problem. Radioactive matter could be released outside the station site. The public may have to be protected. The sirens will be sounded to alert the public of the problem. Turn to EAS radio or television stations for information on actions that may need to be taken. Officials will be fully informed and will tell the public what to do.
