Summary
This bill directs the Commissioner of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to conduct a comprehensive study of New York's nuclear power plant disaster preparedness plans, examining their effectiveness across multiple critical areas. The study will evaluate evacuation procedures within a 50-mile radius of nuclear plants, including time requirements, transportation logistics, and special considerations for vulnerable populations such as hospital patients, school children, and individuals with special needs. Additionally, it will assess coordination between agencies, communication systems, food and water protection measures, and the distribution of potassium iodide for radiation exposure. The completed study must be submitted to the governor and legislative leaders by December 31, 2018, and made publicly available on the Division's website.
