For nearly 25 years, Callaway Plant has had an excellent operating and safety record. A significant part of our commitment to safety is protecting our workers, their families and the public in the event of an accident or emergency.
Hundreds of Callaway Plant employees work in conjunction with federal, state and local officials to develop and update a detailed emergency preparedness plan. The plant conducts a full-scale exercise every two years, plus additional drills are conducted routinely between these exercises.
Also, every year the plant provides vital emergency preparedness information to area residents, special needs populations, schools, businesses and other institutions located within 10 miles of the plant—the area most at risk in the event of a release of radioactivity from the reactor.
The plan provides protective measures including evacuation routes, shelter and other protective actions depending on the classification of the emergency.
