This manual serves as the principal source of policy and guidance for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Program. Federal regulations in 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 350 address FEMA's role in conducting assessments and issuing findings regarding offsite emergency plans/procedures for responding to radiological emergencies at commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs). State, tribal, and local government participation in offsite radiological emergency planning and preparedness is voluntary. However, participation in the REP planning and preparedness process necessitates adherence to the program requirements as set forth in 44 CFR Part 350, the joint Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)/FEMA document NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, and this REP Program Manual. If state, local, or tribal governments choose not to participate in REP planning, 44 CFR Part 352 outlines the licensee's obligation to develop offsite plans/procedures to protect the public health and safety.

This book provides a history of emergency planning with respect to nuclear power plant accidents from the 1950’s to the 2000’s. It gives an overview of essential concepts that a working emergency planner should know, including brief overviews of the health physics and plant engineering that applies to emergency planning. Each chapter covers topics unique to radiological planning that distinguish it from planning for natural disasters. Some of the topics include processes that damage fuel, reactor source terms, basic dispersion theory, protective measures for the public and emergency worker, environmental surveys, and the essential elements of a drill and exercise program. Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants is not intended as a guide to meeting regulatory requirements but provides an understanding of the essential concepts and language of radiological planning, so the planner can apply those concepts to their particular situation.
