Nipissing Environmental Watch has grave concerns that Ontario is not adequately prepared for large scale nuclear accidents. We need to listen to the advice of Japan’s nuclear regulator: “A general lesson learned from the Fukushima accident, as well as the accidents at Three Mile Island and

Chernobyl, is that there was an implicit assumption that such severe accidents could not

happen, and thus sufficient attention had not been paid to preparedness for the accidents

by the operators and the regulatory authorities.”

Please expand emergency planning areas to include at least a 20 km evacuation zone and

ensure all municipalities within 100 km of a nuclear station, including American reactors,

develop and maintain nuclear emergency response plans.
