A 6633

This bill directs the Commissioner of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to conduct a comprehensive study of disaster preparedness plans for nuclear power plants in New York State, examining their effectiveness by December 31, 2019. The study must evaluate critical aspects of emergency response including evacuation timeframes and feasibility within a 50-mile radius of plants, evacuation procedures for vulnerable populations (hospitals, schools, special needs individuals), food and water protection from contamination, and coordination between government agencies and plant operators. The findings will be submitted to the governor and legislative leaders and posted publicly on the Division's website, providing a thorough assessment of whether current nuclear disaster preparedness plans can adequately protect New York residents in the event of a nuclear power plant emergency.
