Schedule "A" to Municipality of Kincardine By-Law No. 2003 - 22 "A By-Law
formulating a plan for protecting property and the health, safety a d welfare of the
inhabitants in any emergency area". I
The Plan has been prepared to provide key officials, agencies anb departments
within the Municipality of Kincardine, the Bruce Nuclear Power D,velopment and
Bruce County, with a general guideline to the expected initial res~onse to an

Any emergency situation is unique, so that it is not possible to pr cisely define
the actions required by any local, County, or Provincial agency w 0 may be
involved in emergency response. It is important, then, that the el ments of this
Plan be implemented with common sense recognizing the situati n at hand and
the capabilities of those agencies involved.
For this Plan to be effective it is important that all concerned be ade aware of
its provisions and that every official, agency and department be p epared to carry
out their assigned functions and responsibilities to the best of the r ability in an
emergency.

1.0 INTRODUCTION & SCOPE
Under Provincial Legislation (the Emergency Plans Act, 1990, all Municipalities
have the responsibility to respond to emergencies within their communities. This
Act also requires that ADesignated Municipalities around Nuclear Facilities are
required to prepare Plans and Procedures to deal with a Nuclear Emergency
approved by the Solicitor General.
The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan identifies that Municipalities that fall
within the 10 km Primary Zone of the nuclear facilities are designated
municipalities. Thus the Municipality of Kincardine is required to develop an
emergency plan and procedures to respond to a nuclear emergency at the Bruce
Nuclear Power Development (BNPD), with off-site effects.
tt
This Municipal Emergency Plan then, has been prepared to provide key officials,
agencies and departments within the Municipality, as well as the BNPD, and
others within the County of Bruce, with a general guideline for the response to
both a conventional and a nuclear emergency and an overview of their
responsibilities during that emergency.
Procedures describing the detailed actions of emergency response personnel
are contained in a separate document entitled the Kincardine MuniCipal
Emergency Procedures Manual.
This plan defines two types of emergencies:
A Basic or Conventional Emergency
A Nuclear Emergency at the BNPD

NUCLEAR EMERGENCY PLAN
Chapter 1 - General
1.0 Introduction
The overall response by Provincial and Municipal Organizations to a nuclear
emergency at the BNPD is described in three documents:
Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan
Part I - Provincial Master Plan
Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan
Part III - Bruce Nuclear Emergency Plan
Province of Ontario Nuclear Emergency Plan
Part VIII- Other Emergencies
These plans describe the overall emergency organization and response by
Provincial organizations, and to some degree, the response of the Municipal
organization.
The Provincial plans require that plans and procedures be prepared by the
Municipality around the BNPD, to deal with a nuclear emergency, and that these
Municipal plans conform to the Provincial plans.
It is important to note that in a nuclear emergency, the Province is responsible
for overall direction and control of off-site actions.
This plan then, describes the Municipal organization, which is established in
response to a nuclear emergency at the BNPD, and how the Municipality will
implement the directives of the Provincial organization, and support the overall
Provincial emergency response.
1.1 Definition of "Municipality"
Within the context of this plan, "Municipality" is comprised of:
the elected officials and staff of the Municipality of Kincardine,
local emergency services organizations, ie. Police, Fire and Ambulance,
County Government and staff, including Roads Department and Bruce
County Ontario Public Works,
adjoining Municipalities

the Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Health Unit and local hospitals,
Bluewater School Board and the Bruce-Grey Separate School Board,
local volunteer organizations and service clubs, including Red Cross and
St. John Ambulance,
local businesses and recreational facilities.
1.2 Scope
The Municipal Nuclear Emergency Plan describes what will be done by the
Municipality to respond to a nuclear emergency at the BNPD. How this is
accomplished is described in the plans and procedures of the various
organizations and agencies comprising the Municipality.

Chapter 2 - Planning Basis
2.0
Introduction
The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan describes the various reactor accident
scenarios which form the basis for emergency plans and procedures. The extent
of the emergency and the resultant off-site effects, prescribe the emergency
response and organization required to deal with these scenarios.
The various accident scenarios involving the actual or potential release of
airborne radioactive material to the environment are categorized in four groups in
ascending order of severity. A fifth category (liquid emissions) has been
included as well.
The area around the BNPD is divided into three distinct planning zones namely"
the Contiguous Zone, the Primary Zone and the Secondary Zone. The zone
closest to the facility is at greatest risk so has the greatest degree of planning,
whereas the area furthest away, has the least.
2.1 Emergency Notification Categories
2.1.1 Notification Categories
The four emergency notification categories with actual or potential for
airborne releases, in ascending order of severity, are listed as follows:
1. Reportable Event {Routine Monitoring}
"An event affecting the nuclear installation which would be of
concern to the off-site authorities responsible for public safety".
Staff will monitor the situation from work or home.
2. Abnormallncident {Enhanced Monitoring}
"An abnormal occurrence at the station which may have a
significant cause and/or may lead to more serious consequences".
Staff will be placed on active alert with continuous updates.
3.
On-Site Emeraencv {Partial Activation}
"A serious system malfunction which results or may result in an
atmospheric emission of radioactive material (of up to 2 mSv dose
within 4 hours)or likely to result in an emission at a later time but
not within the next 12 hours. Centres are set up and staffed with
Emergency Management Staff.
Municipal Emergency Plan
NP-8
Rev 6 - (Final Plan) April 2002
.
.
.
4.
General Emeraencv { Full Activation}
An on-going major atmospheric emission of radioactive material, or
One likely within the next 12 hours which could result in a dose
greater than 2 mSv within 4 hours. Centres are staffed and made
operational and appropriate measures are taken.
2.1.2 Liquid Emissions
It is highly improbable that a release of radioactive material to the lake
could be significant enough to be considered an emergency due to
immediate potential health effects. However, it is necessary to have a
plan to deal with a significant release of radioactive material in the liquid
stream. A Liquid Emission Protocol makes up part of the Municipal
procedures manual.

2.2
Emergency Planning Zone
2.2.1 Contiguous Zone
The Contiguous Zone is designated as the area immediately surrounding
the BNPD in the landward direction out to approximately 3 km.
Due to its proximity to the site, plans are required to notify the public
quickly and evacuate them as necessary in a prompt manner.
On the map shown in Figure I, page NP-12, the Contiguous Zone
comprises Response Sector 1. It is the area in the former Bruce
Township (Ward 3) from Concession 8 including Scott's Point Subdivision
to the north, extending south to the southerly boundary of Inverhuron
Park. It extends east to Lake Range road and the bluff to Concession 2.
2.2.2 Primary Zone
Analysis has determined that the effects of a severe accident at the
BNPD, requiring immediate evacuation or other protective measures, are
not likely to extend past 10 kilometres from the site. Therefore the 10
kilometre radius around the plant is designated as the "Primary Zone",
where more detailed plans are put in place. The Primary Zone is divided
into 6 "Response Sectors" in the landward direction and 4 in the direction
of the lake, to facilitate evacuation orders or other protective measures.
The Response Sectors are further grouped into "rings" as follows:
Inner Ring =
Sector 1 (Contiguous Zone)
Sectors 2 & 3 and Lake Sectors 7 & 8
Middle Ring =
Outer Ring =
Sectors 4,5 & 6 and Lake Sectors 9 & 10
The preferred method of evacuation or imposing of other protective
measures will be by "rings", since it is difficult to predict the wind direction
or speed, particularly during the spring and early winter when the lake
effect is most pronounced.
The Primary Zone includes the Contiguous Zone, and is shown along with
the appropriate Response Sectors in Figure I (page NP-12).

.
.
The Primary Zone falls within the Municipality of Kincardine. This
Municipality is termed the "Designated Municipality" and participates in
this Emergency Plan.
The Primary Zone includes an area of the former Bruce Township
( Ward 3) bounded generally by County Road No. 11 and Concession 13
to the north, No. 10 Side Road to the east, and County Road No. 15 to the
south; the entire Village of Tiverton; and a portion of the former Kincardine
Township ( Ward 2 ) bounded generally by County Road No. 15 to the
north, No. 10 Side Road to the east, and the 7th Concession to the south.
The Primary Zone extends westward into Lake Huron to a radius of 10
km from BNPD. The exact boundaries of the zone are described in
Table!.

2.2.3 Secondary Zone
Although it is not felt necessary to have detailed plans in place to provide
immediate protection for the public beyond 10 km from the BNPD, it is
important to have plans to monitor the effects of any potential
contamination of agricultural products, and take appropriate action. It is
also wise to have plans available to notify and coordinate the actions of
municipalities outside the Primary Zone, should it become necessary to
do so.
Therefore an area of 50 km radius from the BNPD has been designated
as the "Secondary Zone" for planning purposes where preparations are
made for taking ingestion control measures, for keeping the public
informed, and coordinating assistance to the Municipality of Kincardine, or
the County.
The Secondary Zone is shown in Figure 3, page NP-15. It includes four
Secondary Zone Divisions:
Primary Zone
Sub-Zone B (outto 20 km)
Sub-Zone C (20-30 km)
Sub-Zone D (30-50 km)
Each Sub-zone is divided into 8 Sectors.
2.2.4 Response Sector Boundaries
Where a road defines the boundary of a Zone or Sector, residents on both
sides of the road are regarded as being within the Zone or Sector closer
to the BNPD for public education and emergency response purposes.

Emergency Communications
.
6.1 Conventional Telephones
The primary means of communication during a nuclear emergency are conventional
telephones. The telephone requirements for each Centre are described in the appropriate
section of the Municipal Emergency Procedures.
In that Bruce Municipal Telephone system lies within the Primary Zone, the possibility exists
that the offices may have to be closed. BMTS should have an emergency plan to provide
priority telephone maintenance services for a nuclear emergency. BMTS staff is on the
emergency notification system. The BMTS plan should include the provision of Bell Canada
emergency services. All emergency phones are under Line Load Control. A list of these
phones is included in a section of the Municipal Emergency Procedures.
6.2
Additional Phones and Pagers
.
All Municipal Operations Officer alternates are equipped with cellular phones. The Duty
Municipal Operations Officer carries a pager and cell phone. Otherwise this form of
equipment is not part of the emergency communication plan. If this equipment is required
during an emergency it can be acquired from BMTS and local suppliers.
Satellite phones are available at the Municipal Operations Centre.
Trunk radios and digital phones are not available locally at the moment.
6.3 Agency Radios
Radio systems that are part of this plan and available are as follows:

Chapter 7 - Emergency Notification & Information
Introduction
Notification of emergency response staff and the public are the two most important elements
of the emergency plan. It is necessary to ensure people are notified promptly, are given the
correct information, and are kept informed through the emergency phase of the actions
required by them, and the progress of the emergency in general. For this reason, the
notification, alerting and information systems are both extensive and, in most cases, backed
up by a second or even third process for more critical notifications as noted in the Notification
Procedure in Section I of the Nuclear Emergency Procedures Manual.
7.2 Municipal Emergency Response Organization
-
-
The Notification Plan for notifying the Municipal Emergency Response Organization is shown
graphically in Figure 5, page NP-39 Municipal Emergency Notification Plan - "Part A - Primary
Notification" and in Figure 6, page NP-40 Municipal Emergency Notification Plan "Part B -
Secondary Notification". .
The following applies to this plan:
(1) The Initial Notification from the BNPD to the Mount Forest Communication Centre will be
accompanied by a simultaneous fax.
(2) Information included in the initial emergency notification from the BNPD will be prescribed
by EMO and contain the following:
a. Name and Position of the caller
b. Station and Unit involved
c. Initial Notification Category
Reportable Event
Abnormal Incident
On-Site Emergency
General Emergency
d. Brief description of the event

j. Confirmation of message received.
(3) Each person receiving the initial primary notification will be responsible to call their
alternates and others as shown in Part B (Secondary Notifications) and pass on the
information as well as any instructions as to what should be done.
Internal fan-out notification procedures shall be established and maintained for each
Primary Notification receiver.
. (4) After receiving the initial notification from the OPP Communications Centre, the Municipal
Operations Officer (MOO) will await confirmation and direction from Emergency Measures
Ontario before proceeding with the Municipal notification. If confirmation is not received
within 30 minutes, the MOO will attempt to contact the Emergency Measures Ontario Duty
Manager. If this is not successful, the MOO will proceed with emergency notification as
per this plan.
(5) Follow up notification and information after the initial notifications will be the responsibility
of the MOO. All emergency notifications and information messages after the initial
notifications will be authorized by the Head, Municipal Control Group.
(6) All initial notifications will be confirmed by fax where these are available.

Emergency Notification Back-Up Plan
It is not prudent to rely upon one method of emergency notification. All systems must have at
least one back-up. Depending upon circumstances, more than one method may be used at
one time. In all cases however, the Municipal Operations Officer is responsible for activating
the emergency notification system and for deciding how it will be implemented depending on
circumstances at the time. The following methods of emergency notification can be used in
descending order of priority:
1. Telephone Fan-Out
2. Personal Contact or Courier.
Procedures for activation and operation of these systems will be contained in the Procedures
Manual - Emergency Notification Procedures.

Chapter 8 - Public Information & Direction
8.0 Introduction
The public emergency information system depends on:
(a) People being alerted to the fact there is a problem.
(b) Accurate information being available in a timely manner to ensure that
people are aware of what actions they must take to protect themselves, their
families, and others in the area that may not know of what they are to do.
The public alerting process is described in section 7.4. It is complemented by
the public information system that is comprised of the following elements:
- Media Information
- Public Inquiry
- Public Action Directives & Announcements.
dealing with any aspect of a nuclear emergency is coordinated by, and produced
from, the JIC".
8.1
Media Information
8.1.1 General
All information to the media is coordinated, produced and/or issued through
the media information centre. In a nuclear emergency this centre is the joint
responsibility of the Province, Bruce Power and the local Municipalities, so is
called the Joint Information Centre (JIC).
The JIC is located at the Legion in Kincardine.
The JIC is established if the Municipal Emergency Plan is partially or fully
activated.
Set up procedures for the JIC are included with the set up procedures for the
Municipal Operations Centre (MOC) and organizational description and
operating procedures are included in the Municipal Nuclear Emergency
Procedures manual.
A fundamental policy and strategy of this plan is that:
"All formal news releases and contact with the media dealing with a
nuclear emergency is coordinated by, and produced from the JIC".
Municipal Emergency Plan
NP - 46
Rev 6 ( Final Plan) April 2002
.
.
.
However, it is also recognized that there will be a need to provide
information and services to the media at locations other than the JIC, in
particular, at the Reception/Evacuee Centre and the Emergency Worker
Centre. Therefore, if it becomes necessary to provide information,
interviews, or photo opportunities to the media at locations other than the
JIC, it shall be conducted by persons who are either provided or authorized
by the JIC Manager, and briefed by the Manager on a regular basis. The
Manager of each Centre is responsible for recognizing the need for an on-
scene spokesperson and obtaining assistance through his or her Municipal
Control Group contact.
Additionally, in that the JIC is not established after a Reportable Event or
Abnormal Incident, or in the early phases of the incident, in these cases, the
Municipality, through the Municipal Spokesperson, may issue information to
the media or the public. This must be approved by the head, MCG and the
EMO Duty Manager.
8.1.2 JIC Functions
The following functions are performed at the JIC:
- Issue news releases.
- Conduct press conferences and other media briefings.
- Monitor media coverage and public information and keep the emergency
organization informed.
-Identify rumours and incorrect information and correct them.
- Assist the media.
- Monitor Public Action Directives and confirm to the POCo
- Provide information to the public, individually by phone, and collectively by
preparing information bulletins and conducting public meetings
across the emergency area.
Municipal Emergency Plan
Rev 6 ( Final Plan) April 2002
NP - 47
8.1.3 Municipal Spokesperson
.
The Municipal Spokesperson shall be designated to represent the
Head - Municipal Control Group, Municipalities and agencies. This person
would normally be either a councillor or other member of the community. He
or she should be reasonably well known, accustomed to speaking in public,
trained and familiar with the Emergency Plan and a credible and respected
member of the community.
This person (and alternates), termed the Municipal Spokesperson, will join
the Municipal Control Group in an Abnormal Incident or higher category.
(a) He/she will be the only official spokesperson for the MCG.
(b) He/she will be a member of the JIC, and will participate in all formal
press conferences.
(c) He/she will provide the liaison between the JIC and MCG and
provide information to the JIC staff on the Municipal portion of the
emergency response effort, and the Municipal Nuclear Emergency
Plan.
Whenever addressing the press the following should apply:
.
- whenever possible, media inquiries should be directed to the JIC or official
spokespersons,
- when this is not possible, information provided should be factual, concise,
not speculative, and restricted to the area of the persons
knowledge and expertise.
8.2 Public Inquiries & Information
Prior to establishing the JIC, a person at the Municipal offices shall be
designated to handle calls and inquiries related to the emergency. Once the
JIC is established that person(s) shall join the Public Inquiry section of the
JIC and all calls from the public should be directed to the JIC. If the
Municipal offices are closed, all telephones will be call-forwarded to the
Public Inquiry phones at the JIC or voice mail established to advise of the
new phone number for the Municipality.
When the JIC is established, the Public Inquiry phone numbers will be
broadcast over the news media. This action is the responsibility of the JIC.
.
In addition to individual inquiries, it will be necessary to provide general
information to the public to advise them of actions being taken to deal with
the emergency. This may be done by:
- providing announcements, news releases, or press conferences,
- broadcasting paid messages over the radio and TV or paying for
advertisements in local newspapers,
Municipal Emergency Plan
NP - 48
Rev 6 ( Final Plan) April 2002
.
.
.
- delivering information sheets door to door, or through the mail,
- providing information over local Cable TV channels,
- conducting public meetings coordinated by the JIC.
Procedures on these actions should be included in the JIC Procedures.
If it becomes necessary to conduct public meetings, as identified by the JIC
staff or the MCG, it shall be organized, coordinated and conducted by the
JIC. The meetings may be held in the Legion auditorium or if necessary,
either the Davidson Community Centre or Kincardine District Secondary
School.
Inquiries as to the whereabouts of evacuees will be referred to the
Registration & Inquiry section of the REC.
8.3 Public Action Directives
In addition to general information for the media, the public and press, the
emergency response strategy depends on the residents of the Primary Zone
being notified of the protective measures they must take to avoid or minimize
radiation exposure.
This is done through the issuing of Public Action Directives (PADs) over local
broadcast media. The Provincial Operations Centre is responsible for
preparing and issuing PADs, and have entered into agreements with the
following designated media:
(1) AM Radio
CKNX (920)
CFOS (560)
CFPS (1490)
FM Radio
CKNX (101.7)
CIXK (106.5)
(2) Television
CKNX (Wing ham)
CKCO (Kitchener)
(3) Marine Radio
Channel 16
Marine Radio Continuous Broadcast Channel
PADs shall be issued and broadcast as soon as possible after the
requirement is recognized.
In the event that PADs are not able to be issued through the public media,
PADS will be printed and distributed door to door by police, fire and
volunteers, according to a plan administered through the Traffic Control
Centre.

Chapter 9 . Emergency Operations. Phase I
9.0 Overview
The sequence of operation in the event of a problem at the BNPD is as
follows:
(1) The BNPD Shift Superintendent will categorize the problem and
notify the OPP, who will in turn notify the EMO Duty Manager and
the Municipal Operations Officer (MOO), the prescribed Municipal
Contact Point.
(2) The EMO Duty Manger will decide the response to be taken within
15 minutes, and notify the MOO. (See table 3.2 in section 3 of this
plan)
(3)
The MOO will continue Municipal notifications and take whatever
early actions are required according to his/her procedures, and with
approval of the Head-MCG. The principal actions would be to
activate the Public Alerting System, and assemble all or part of the
Municipal Control Group. See section 3.2, for details on initial
response.
.
(4)
If the Plan is fully activated, the Province and Municipalities will
each formally declare an emergency.
(5) Once the MCG is assembled, Protective Measures as described in
the section following, will be implemented when so ordered by the
POCo Similarly, if the response level changes as advised by the
POC, the appropriate actions shall be implemented to deal with
that response level.
(6) Once the initial phase dealing with protecting the public from
exposure to radiation due to airborne radioactivity has been
implemented, the emergency will then enter Phase II or the follow-
up phase, which deals more with recovery and prevention of
exposure due to contamination and the ingestion of radioactive
material. See Chapter 10 for Phase II operations.
9.1 Command and Control
.
In a nuclear emergency the Provincial Operations Centre is responsible for
all decision making with respect to the emergency. IN ALL CASES THE
MUNICIPAL CONTROL GROUP MAY NOT ACT UNILATERALLY.
** Should the link for any reason be interrupted refer to 2.8, pg. 16.

.
protective measures within the Municipality will be confirmed in writing,
signed by the Head-MCG.
In the early stage of the emergency, the EMO Duty Manger, and the
Municipal Operations Officer may issue orders on behalf of the POC and
MCG respectively. In the case of the Municipality, the Head-MCG must
approve the order prior to it being issued.
The POC or EMO Duty Manager may also issue orders directly to any
element of the emergency management organization. However, all orders
shall be confirmed in writing and approved by the POC executive authority,
and the Municipal Control Group informed.
9.2 Precautionary Measures
Precautionary measures are early measures taken before a release or in the
very early stages of an emergency, to minimize the impact on the public.
These measures shall not be implemented unless ordered by the Province.
9.2.1 Closing Beaches, Parks, Recreation Areas
The following fall into this category:
- Inverhuron Park
- Inverhuron Beach
- Brucedale Conservation Area and Beach
- Baie du Dore Launch Area

9.2.3 Traffic & Entry Control
Traffic Control is implemented in three stages using the Joint Traffic Control
Plan developed jointly by the OPP, MTO and EMO.
STAGE I
Automatically initiated as soon as the Joint Traffic Control Plan is
activated.
STAGE II
Initiated by the POC when it appears that the emergency might
require evacuation or when spontaneous evacuation begins to occur.
STAGE III
Initiated by the POC when it appears particular sectors are likely
to be evacuated and when smooth, orderly evacuation is required.
See Appendix 6 (Traffic Control Plan) for a description of the various stages
of traffic control and details on road closures, diversion points, and alternate
routes.
9.3 Protective Measures
9.3.1 Evacuation
(a) General Public
The POC will decide which sectors are required to evacuate based on
information received from the BNPD Site. If a decision is made to
evacuate any sector(s) the MCG will be informed and the order issued by
the POC over public media. If an evacuation is ordered the following
actions are required:
1. Each MCG member should immediately inform his or her contacts.
2. The REC should prepare to receive the evacuees.
3. Police should monitor evacuation routes.
4. After a suitable time to allow the main flow of evacuees to leave.
5.
Police, with the assistance of the Tiverton Fire Department if
necessary, should patrol the area to ensure it is cleared.
Municipal Emergency Plan
Rev 6 ( Final Plan) April 2002
NP - 52
.
.
.
6.
Road blocks should be established around the evacuated area and
only persons authorized by the MCG allowed to enter.
Authorized persons would be:
Authorized Emergency Workers
7. All persons entering the evacuated area must be registered.
Persons other than BNPD employees must be processed through
the Emergency Worker Centre and issued dosimetry.
8. All evacuees will be instructed to report to the Reception Evacuee
Centre (Davidson Centre or alternate), where they will be registered
and monitored for contamination.
9. A record shall be kept of all residents of the Contiguous Zone and
their names shall be checked off when they register.
10. After evacuation takes place, the JIC is responsible for providing
information to evacuees, both collectively and individually. When it
is safe to return to their homes, evacuees will be informed over the
local media.
11. The Social Services Manager on the MOC is responsible for
arranging transportation for evacuees, including disabled persons
under home care, if required. The MOC will communicate the
phone number for persons requiring transportation, to the POC for
inclusion in the PAD. The Protective Action Directive issued by the
Provincial Operations Centre will include the Public Inquiry phone
number for persons requiring transportation to evacuate. JIC
procedures will identify a process for informing the REC of
transportation requirements.
See the Basic Plan (Section 4.2.4) and Section 5.4 of this plan for
information on the organization and operation of the Reception -
Evacuee Centre.
(b) BNPD
If Bruce Power finds it necessary to evacuate the BNPD Site of non-
essential personnel, the MCG shall be informed immediately. The Joint
Traffic Control Centre will be informed by the MCG to ensure evacuation
flows smoothly. Any requests for assistance for BNPD evacuees or the
evacuation process will be through the MCG, and the MCG shall be kept
informed of transportation arrangements.
If it is found necessary to monitor BNPD Staff off site, this shall be done at
the Emergency Worker Centre. Any alternate arrangements for off-site
monitoring and decontamination of BNPD staff will be discussed with and

approved by the MCG.
(c)
Prompt Evacuations
In the event that an evacuation is necessary in any sector prior to the
REC being established, the Davidson Centre staff (or alternately Roads
Department) will be informed directly by the Municipal Operations Officer.
These staff will immediately proceed to the Centre, ensure it is either
cleared, or opened, depending on the time of day, greet evacuees and
direct them to a waiting area to await the arrival of REC staff.
(d) Secondary Zone Evacuations
The Provincial Operations Centre will coordinate any evacuations that are
required in the Secondary Zone with the appropriate municipality.
9.3.2 Sheltering
In some circumstances, the Provincial Operations Centre may issue
instructions that persons within certain sectors are required to take shelter in
their homes, instead of evacuating. It is the responsibility of the MOC to
close parks, beaches, or recreational facilities that fall within its purview. If
this is the case, the POC will arrange for a PAD broadcast to be made
through the Designated Media.
Entry Control will be established for all sectors under a sheltering order.

9.3.3 Potassium Iodide (KI) Pills
KI Pills are stocked at the following locations:
1. Reception/Evacuee Centre
Quantities and maintenance of KI Pill stocks, as well as administrative
procedures for issuing pills, are described in the Municipal Nuclear
Emergency Procedures Manual.
If the POC requires that evacuees be issued KI pills, they will inform the
MCG, who will immediately inform the REC Manager by phone and Fax. A
member of the Bruce, Grey, Owen-Sound Health Unit will be dispatched to
the Registration & Inquiry desk to administer the pills to all evacuees
registering at the desk and any other evacuees who have previously
registered.
The POC will prepare an appropriate public announcement regarding the
ingestion of KI pills. (still under Provincial Review)
9.4
Ingestion Control
The Province may impose restrictions on livestock and food production by
making appropriate announcements over the media. These restriction measures
are as follows:
- clearing milk storage,
- banning consumption of food and water which has been exposed outdoors,
or meat or dairy products,
- sheltering animals.
If this occurs, or appears as though it may occur, an agricultural assistance
coordinator, normally a Municipal Councillor, may be assigned to coordinate
information and assistance to farmers. This coordinator will work with the Public
Inquiry section of the JIC, and the Municipal representative on the Municipal
Control Group.

Post Accident Venting
In the event it becomes necessary to release radioactive material (venting) it
shall be done in a controlled manner when favourable weather conditions exist.
If possible, venting will occur when the wind direction is towards the lake, at a
brisk rate.
If venting will occur, the POC will issue the following "standby for venting"
message to the MCG and others:
"Radioactive material contained within Bruce NPD may be vented out over Lake
Huron at _(time)_. Recipients of this message should adopt appropriate
standby measures."

Chapter 10 - Emergency Operations - Phase II
10.1 Introduction
Phase II of the emergency occurs when it is clear that conditions within the
damaged reactor are stabilized, and there is no possibility of any further
abnormal releases to the environment. The pac will decide when the
emergency will change from Phase I to Phase II after appropriate consultation,
and will specify a formal date and time. Phase II of the emergency is directed by
the pac.
Phase II is the period when the long-term effects of the emergency are dealt
with, and the situation is restored to as close to normal as possible. To do this,
the emergency zones are re-defined, and the emergency organization is
changed somewhat to reflect the changed roles and tasks.
10.2 Phase II Emergency Zones
In Phase II the Contiguous, Primary and Secondary Zone terminology is
changed to Restricted, Buffer, and Ingestion Control Zones as described below.
Where possible, these zones will be described by sector as in Phase I, but this
may not always be possible or practical. In this case, the Zones will be defined
by road name.
(a) Restricted Zone
This is an area where external radiation dose rates are quite significant, (>2
rem/annum). Normally these areas would be evacuated and be under entry
control (see Appendix 6 - Traffic Control Plan) until the area is
decontaminated.
(b) Buffer Zone
This zone is an area where external dose rates are lower (<2 rem/annum). It
provides an intermediate area to allow contamination from the restricted
zone to be controlled, or it may be an area where data on contamination
levels may not be complete. It would normally form an outer perimeter
around the Restricted Zone.
(c) Ingestion Control Zone
These are areas where dose rates are not significant, but where
contamination of the environment is such to warrant monitoring and
restrictions on water, food products, animals and animal feed.

Bruce Power Inc. is responsible for implementing the measures to ensure the
safety of Emergency Workers and for the organization and operation of the
Emergency Worker Centre. They are also responsible for providing pre and post
exposure briefings as well as radiation safety and procedure training for
Emergency Workers.
The Provincial Operations Centre will determine the measures to be taken for
Emergency Worker Safety based on known or projected conditions and transmit
this information to the Municipal Control Group in the form of a "Sector Safety
Status Code" which defines the level of protection required. These codes are
transmitted to all agencies, including the Emergency Worker Centre and/or
Remote Exposure Control Desk. All verbal transmission will be confirmed by
FAX.
11.2 Definition of Emergency Worker
Emergency Workers are defined as non-BNPD workers who are required to
enter areas likely to be affected by radiation outside the Nuclear Facility
Boundary, and for whom special safety arrangements are required. They may
include Police, Fire Fighters, Emergency Medical Services, Bruce County
Ontario Works Staff, Canadian Armed Forces personnel, Municipal, County,
Provincial or Federal Government staff, Bruce Power, the Press, or residents
approved by the Municipal Control Group to enter the area to tend to livestock or
other purposes.
11.3 Emergency Worker Centre & Remote Exposure Control Desk Set-up
1. If the Plan is partially or fully Activated, the Remote Exposure Control Desk
will be established by Bruce Power, at the Tiverton Fire Hall. The Deputy
Fire Chief, or delegate will be dispatched to assist.
2. If the Plan is Activated, the Emergency Worker Centre will be established at
Kincardine Fire Hall. The Remote Exposure Control Desk will be closed
when the Emergency Worker Centre is established.

11.5 Radiation Protection of Emergency Workers
The following procedures will apply to Emergency Workers.
If the Plan is partially or fully activated:
1. All OPP Officers and Ambulance staff currently on duty shift in the
Walkerton/Kincardine Area will be dispatched to the Emergency Worker
Centre to be issued safety equipment. Any Tiverton Fire Department staff
required to respond to a fire or other emergency will pick up safety
equipment upon being dispatched from the Fire Hall.
2. Safety equipment is defined as:
TLD Badge
DRDs (one each of 0-500 mrem and 0-5 Rem, or personal
electronic dosimeters)
KIPills
Respirators
Tyvek Coveralls
Emergency Information Cards
3. If any sector or sectors are declared "Orange" or "Red", entry control will be
established with one entry control point only. (See Traffic Control Plan -

PUBLIC EDUCA liON PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
Implementation of the Public Education Program is a joint responsibility of
Emergency Measures Ontario, the Municipality of Kincardine and Bruce Power
Inc.
Establishing policy and overall direction and management of the program is the
responsibility of Emergency Measures Ontario in consultation with the other
stakeholders.
The Public Education Sub-Committee will establish and implement the local
program using resources from all three participants. This program will be
approved by the Provincial Public Education Committee. The Chair of the Bruce
Public Education Sub-Committee represents the Bruce area on the Provincial
Public Education Committee.
PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM ELEMENTS
There will be at least one major public education initiative each year to target
permanent and seasonal residents of the Primary Zone as well as employers and
employees of businesses, and schools located within the Zone.
In addition, other initiatives will be undertaken to address identified needs. Due
to the costs and effort involved in these programs, each need must be justified by
solid facts or identified deficiencies.
The overall program is shown in Figure I attached.

APPENDIX 4
TRAINING, DRILL & EXERCISE
PROGRAM
1.0 DEFINITION
1.1 Training
Training within the context of this plan is defined as providing instructions on
procedures or equipment operation, identifying roles and responsibilities, or
describing the various emergency organizations and how they interface. It may
also include general information on radiation hazards, reactor operation, etc.
This training is normally provided as classroom instructions with appropriate
audio visual aids, or may be in the form of workshops, self study, or personal
instruction. Training is normally reinforced by participation in drills or exercises.
Some training is mandatory for key roles in the emergency organization before
the individual is deemed qualified to assume their position in an emergency.
1.2
Drill
A drill is defined as a session where only one component of the emergency
organization is activated. It is used to evaluate the operation of that component
or as a training opportunity, or both. Normally other supporting components of
the emergency organization would be simulated by role players.
A table top drill is one where the actual component is not activated, but the
operation is simulated by means of a discussion amongst the participants.
Municipal Emergency Plan
A4-3
Rev 6 - (Final Plan) April 2002
Appendix 4
. 1.3 Exercise
An exercise is a larger drill where more than one centre or function is activated.
In addition to the objectives of a drill, it is also used to practise and/or test the
interface between centres or organizations.
A Municipal Exercise is where most or all Municipal Centres are activated.
The BNPD Site mayor may not participate.
A Provincial Exercise is where the Provincial and Municipal components
are activated.
A Full Scale Exercise is where Bruce Power is included in the Provincial
Exercise.
1.4 Evaluator
An evaluator is a person assigned to evaluate the operation of either an
individual, group of individuals, or Centre against prescribed performance or
operational criteria. Evaluators would normally be expected to not only evaluate,
but also make recommendations.
. 1.5 Observer
An observer is a person who observes the operation, with no prescribed
evaluation role. This is usually done for training or general information purposes
for the observer. Since it is not a structured or controlled process, it does not
form part of the evaluation and recommendation process.

Refresher training is at the discretion of the Centre Manager or Supervisor but
shall be received at least once each second year.
2.4 Additional Training
Additional training may be offered from time to time as identified by the Regional
Nuclear Emergency Preparedness Coordinator.
2.5 Procedures
It is recognized that Emergency Procedures are not a normal part of most
persons jobs. Since training is only effective if it is continually re-enforced, it is
not appropriate to rely solely on training to ensure that a person performs
properly in an emergency. Therefore, for each critical position and task, a
condensed procedure called AAction Guide@ will be developed to ensure these
tasks are carried out properly.

PLANS & PROCEDURES
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Municipal Emergency Plan identifies what must be done to respond to a
Conventional or Nuclear Emergency, and also identifies roles and responsibilities
of those involved in emergency response.
In addition to the plan, however, detailed procedures and action guides are
required to identify how the various Municipal staff and agencies will respond to
meet the requirements of the plan. (Refer to Provincial Nuclear Emergency Plan
- Part I, Section 1.4.5 (page 5), and Part III, Section 1.4 (page 2).
DOCUMENTATION HIERARCHY
The documentation hierarchy which describes the overall response to a nuclear
emergency is as follows:
1. The Provincial Emergency Plans Act - 1990 sets out guidelines for
emergency planning and response for the Province of Ontario and
requires that a Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan (PNERP) be
developed.
2. The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan, Parts I and III,
describe how the Province plans for and responds to an emergency
originating at the BNPD, and requires the development of a Municipal
Emergency Plan which conforms to the PNERP.
3. The Municipal Emergency Plan for the Municipality of Kincardine
describes:
(a) What the various emergency response agencies, Municipal staff,
and elected officials must do to respond to an emergency.
(b) The interaction between the Municipalities, the Province and Bruce
Power.
(c) The overall emergency preparedness organization and program.
4.
The Municipal Emergency Plan is enacted by by-law and identifies which
procedures are required to guide emergency responders (this Appendix).
Municipal Emergency Procedures are of two types:
A5-3

.
.
Appendix 5
(a) Emergency Response Procedures which describe various
emergency activities and how they are to be performed.
(b) Emergency Response Guidelines which are position specific and
identify the actions that individuals must take to meet the
requirements of their position.
3.0 POLICY
The Procedures that must be in place are described in section 4.0 following. In
general the following policy will be offered in the use of these procedures:
"Emergency Procedures are intended to provide direction on how the
Municipality, its staff, elected officials, and the various response agencies and
volunteers will respond to an emergency within Kincardine.
To the extent possible they will be followed as they are written in the sequence
shown. However it is important to realize that the procedures are intended as
Guidelines to emergency response and should be used in conjunction with good
common sense."

APPENDIX 6
TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN
1.0 Introduction
Traffic Control is established for three purposes:
To ensure roads are kept clear and maintained so that evacuation of the
Public can take place, and Emergency Workers can have access to the
Primary Zone and BNPD facility staff can have access to the BNPD Site.
To divert the general public around the Primary Zone to ensure roads are
accessible.
To control access to areas which have been evacuated or are
contaminated; for security reasons, and to ensure people entering the
restricted area are suitably protected, have appropriate radiation
dosimetry, and are monitored and decontaminated when leaving the
restricted area.
The Joint Traffic Control Plan has been developed by the OPP, MTO and EMO
and implemented in three stages as identified below.
2.0 Stage I Traffic Control
The Joint Traffic Control Plan will be automatically activated by the Provincial
Operations Centre (POC) during Partial Activation. The aim of this stage is to
ensure sufficient traffic control staff are available, and to prepare for further
actions if required.
Staae I
1. Automatically initiated as soon as the traffic control plan is activated. The
aim of this stage is to keep traffic flowing smoothly on the main traffic
routes and to ensure these routes remain open.
3.0 Stage II Traffic Control
This stage is implemented when ordered by the POCo The aim of the stage is to
clear the roads of any unnecessary traffic.
Obiective of Staae II
Municipal Emergency Plan
A6 -3
Rev 6 - (Final Plan) April 2002
.
.
.
Appendix 6
1.
Establish road blocks and/or check points on all roads entering the
Primary Zone to divert the general public (see 5.0 below).
2. Establish Primary Zone entry points to allow residents, emergency
workers, and BNPD staff into the Primary Zone.
3. Clear the lake of boats out to 10 km.
4.0 Stage III Traffic Control
This stage is implemented when ordered by the POC, normally when an area is
under evacuation or shelter order, or Orange or Red sector safety status.
The aim of this stage is to restrict entry to unsafe areas or areas under security
control.
Obiective of Staae III
1.
Entry control is established where necessary (see below) to prevent
unauthorized access to the BNPD Site and evacuated or sheltered areas
(inner perimeter).
2. BNPD staff, Emergency Workers and residents are allowed into the
Primary Zone with appropriate permission, identification and, in the case
of emergency workers and residents, dosimetry.
3. Evacuated areas are cleared and patrolled.
5.0 Traffic Control Points
If Stage II of the Joint Traffic Control Plan is implemented the following plan will
go into effect.
1. ARoad Closed@ signs will be placed by Tiverton Fire Department staff, at
all sideroads and concession roads that enter the Primary Zone.
2. OPP vehicles will be stationed at the following locations:
To the North
Bruce County Road 11 and Hwy 21 at North Bruce
Concession 14 and the Lake Range Road
To the East
Bruce County Road 20 and Bruce County Road 1
Bruce County Road 15 and Bruce County Road 1

ARoad Closed Ahead@ signs will be placed on Highway 21, to the north at
Concession 6 of Saugeen Township, and to the South at Highway 9.
ADetour@ signs will be placed along Bruce County Roads 11 and 1, and
Highway 9, to direct traffic around the Primary Zone.
4.
6.0 Entry Control
6.1 Access
If an area is evacuated or under shelter order within the Primary Zone, or if a
sector is declared ARed@ or AOrange@ sector safety status, it is necessary to
control access to those areas for security and health and safety reasons. This is
termed Aentry control@.
If an area is under entry control, admittance is restricted to:
Emergency Workers
. All Emergency Workers entering an Entry Controlled area must be equipped with
safety equipment. Others, with the exception of BNPD staff and AECB staff,
must be wearing Thermo-Luminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) and Direct Reading
Dosimeters (DRDs).
6.2 Exit
Persons exiting an AEntry Controlled@ area must be directed to the Emergency
Worker Centre for monitoring and decontamination if necessary.
6.3 Entry Control Points
To simplify implementation, entry control will be established in only one of two
ways as follows.
.
6.3.1 Contiguous Zone Entry Control

Appendix 6
Unmanned road closure signs are established at the following locations by
Tiverton Fire Department staff:
County Road 15 and County Road 23 (B-Line) south ofthe BNPD,
Concession 2 and J-Side Road,
Concession 4 and J-Side Road,
Concession 6 and J-Side Road,
Concession 8 and Lake Range Road (A-Line North)
(See map AContiguous Zone Entry Control@, Figure 1, page A6-8)
All traffic wishing access to the entry controlled area will be directed to the
AEntry Control Point@ on Concession 4. This point will be manned by
OPP staff, and will also serve as a staging area and Site Command Post
for Emergency Workers and others who may wish to enter the area.
Patrols will be established as appropriate to ensure safety and security of
the controlled area.
6.3.2 Primary Zone Entry Control
If any sector outside the Contiguous Zone is evacuated or is designated
ARed@ or AOrange@ sector safety status, the entire Primary Zone will be
placed under entry control and all check points closed.
Normally, the only access to the primary Zone will be via the check point
at Highway 21 and the 5th Concession of Kincardine Township. The
TownfTownship Airport will serve as a staging area and Site Command
Post for staff entering and exiting the Primary Zone.
Patrols will be established as appropriate to ensure safety and security of
the controlled area.

APPENDIX 7
Media & Public Information Plan
1.0 INTRODUCTION
2.0
3.0
In the event of any emergency it is essential to coordinate the release of timely,
accurate information to the news media, issue authoritative instructions to the
public, respond to or redirect individual requests for information, and monitor
information being distributed by the media to ensure it is accurate.
In order to fulfil these functions, it will be necessary to establish a Media
Information Centre. In a nuclear emergency, Emergency Measures Ontario is
responsible for establishing and running the Media Information Centre. In any
other emergency, this is the responsibility of the Municipality of Kincardine.
This appendix describes in detail, the overall strategy for providing information to
the public and media in a non-nuclear emergency, and gives a very brief
overview of the strategy for a nuclear emergency. Full information for a nuclear
emergency is described in Provincial Plans and Procedures.
MEDIA INFORMATION CENTRE
In both a non-nuclear and a nuclear emergency, a Media Information Centre is
established at the Kincardine Legion. In a nuclear emergency this Centre is
called the AJoint Information Centre@ to reflect the fact that information is
provided from the Province, Bruce Power, and the Municipality.
ON-SCENE MEDIA INFORMATION CENTRE
Depending on the scope of the emergency, there will likely be a need to
establish an additional Media Information Centre near the scene (the On-Scene
Media Information Centre). In some cases, it may be possible to combine the
two media centres. The On-Scene Media Information Centre is staffed by the
On-Scene Media'Spokesperson.
Normally the On-Scene Spokesperson is a representative of the Ontario
Provincial Police, However, the On-Scene Spokesperson may be assisted by
spokespersons from the representatives of various agencies at the scene
including the Municipalities. Note that there are no designated On-Scene
Spokespersons for a Nuclear Emergency. Any media showing up at roadblocks,
the Reception/Evacuee Centre, Traffic Control Centre or Emergency Worker
Centre shall be referred to the Joint Information Centre for information,
interviews and to arrange photo opportunities.

BASIC MEDIA INFORMATION PLAN
1.0 AIM
2.0
3.0
The aim of this Plan is to ensure that in the event of an emergency, accurate,
timely information necessary to the public interest receives the widest possible
distribution, and that the needs of the local, national, and international media are
met.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Media Information Centre is to communicate protective
actions and other information to the affected public through the media. Although
the emergency phase may be over by the time the Media Information Centre
assembles, there still might be a need for protective action announcements to
the public. The Centre will also be expected to explain the events which took
place in the emergency phase and provide prompt and frequent information as
the recovery phase proceeds. The Media Information Centre will act as the focal
point of dissemination of information concerning the incident to representatives
of the media and a forum for the Head of the Municipal Control Group (MCG)
and other officials to speak to the media and public.
OPERATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
(a) The Media Information Centre receives policy direction regarding local
announcements, and the issuing of protective action directives and news
releases from the Municipal Control Group. It advises the Municipal
Control Group on the correctness of announcements/directives issued by
the media, and on media and public perceptions and reactions to those
announcements.
(b) All news releases and public action directives receive approval from the
Head of the Municipal Control Group prior to being issued.
(c) The Media Information Centre, along with the On-Scene Information
Centre are the sole official sources of information relating to the
emergency.
(d) The Media Information Centre regularly exchanges information with the
On-Scene Information Centre.
(e) The Media Information Centre transmits directives to the affected public
through local broadcast media organizations (see Annex D for a list of
local radio stations, TV stations and newspapers).

.
5.0 ORGANIZATION
The Media Information Centre normally consists of a minimum of four persons:
a Municipal Spokesperson, a Media Services Supervisor, and a Public Inquiry
Supervisor and Administrative Assistant. Additional assistance may be required
for these three positions, based on the extent of media interest and the overall
workload. The Media Services Supervisor and Public Inquiry Supervisor report
to the Municipal Spokesperson who in turn reports to the Head of the Municipal
Control Group.

(JOINT INFORMATION CENTRE)
1.0 GENERAL
In a nuclear emergency, there are many organizations who must get
information to the media and often the information will be either different,
or presented from a different perspective, depending on the requirements.
Therefore, to minimize confusion for the public it is critical that all
information is coordinated so that the message is both clear and
consistent, and that all organizations are party to the same sources of
information.
To ensure this consistent and coordinated message is presented, all
information to the public is coordinated from a single Media Information
Centre and reflects the fact that the information is provided on behalf of
the Municipality, Bruce Power and the Provincial Government, as is why it
is called the AJoint Information Centre@ (JIC).
2.0 JOINT INFORMATION CENTRE (JIC)
. 2.1 The Joint Information Centre is a joint facility for the Province, the local
Municipality, and Bruce Power, and its staff shall be provided by all three
organizations.

responsibility for the Centre and the Emergency Public Information
Program including the following:
obtaining and training staff,
designing and equipping the facility,
ensuring the state of readiness of the facility,
preparing plans and procedures for the JIC and its associated
functions,
conducting drills and exercises.
2.3 The Joint Information Centre shall be set up and fully staffed as soon as
the Municipal emergency organization is partially or fully activated.

ANNEX C
ON-SCENE MEDIA INFORMATION PLAN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In an emergency, the media fulfils a number of functions. One of its most
important is to report on the way the emergency is being dealt with by
responders and authorities. In addition, the public has a need and right to
know about the many human interest stories that inevitably come about.
For this reason the media will insist upon being at the scene of the
incident, and will not be content with just being fed information at a remote
information centre. It is important then to make arrangements to take
care of the media's needs at the scene of the incident by establishing an
On-Scene Media Information Centre.
2.0 AIM
The aim of the procedure is to identify the requirements for an On-Scene
Media Information Centre to perform the following functions:
.
(a) To assist the media in reporting on the emergency without
interfering with the response operations.
(b) To ensure that all aspects of the emergency are being reported on
in a complete, balanced fashion.
3.0 ON-SCENE MEDIA SPOKESPERSON
An On-Scene Media Spokesperson will be appointed by the Emergency
Site Coordinator and is responsible for:
(a) Establishing and coordinating an On-Scene Media Information
Centre in a safe, appropriate location, at or near the scene, for the
media to assemble.
(b) Establishing a communication link and liaising regularly with the
Municipal Spokesperson at the Media Information Centre. It is
extremely important to ensure that information released to the
media from the On-Scene Media Information Centre is consistent
with that released by the Media Information Centre.
(c)
Redirecting all inquiries regarding decisions made by the Municipal
Control Group and the emergency as a whole, to the Municipal
Spokesperson at the Media Information Centre.
.
(d) Responding to inquiries from the media pertainina to the scene

.
only.
(e)
Advising the following persons and agencies of the location and
telephone number(s) (as available) of the On-Scene Media
Information Centre:
Emergency Site Coordinator
Police Media Relations Officer (if applicable)
Emergency Services personnel at the scene (where
possible)
Municipal Spokesperson
Media
Any other appropriate personnel or agencies
(f) Controlling and redirecting media to the On-Scene Media
Information Centre.
(g) Where necessary and appropriate, providing transportation to and
coordinating media photograph sessions and interviews at the
scene.
.
Normally the on-Scene Spokesperson is the local Police Media
Relations Officer.
4.0 ON-SCENE MEDIA INFORMATION CENTRE
4.1 Location
The location of the Centre will vary with the circumstances and needs.
However, potential locations to consider are as follows:
Kincardine Airport
Canadian Agra Building
Tiverton Community Centre
Underwood Community Centre
BNPD Information Centre
The Centre does not necessarily have to be in a building although this is
preferable. In some cases a gathering of the media can take place
outside the inner perimeter of the emergency scene.
.

Appendix 7 (Annex C)
.
4.2 Facilities & Eauioment
There are no advance preparations required for the On-Scene Media
Information Centre other than communications.
When the Centre is set up, an amateur Radio Operator should be
dispatched to the scene to stand by the On-Scene Spokesperson. This
operator can then provide a link to both the Central Media Information
Centre and the Municipal Operations Centre.

Multiple Casualty Plan
1.0
Introduction
In the event of an emergency, in addition to property damage, there may be large
numbers of injured or dead. Potential situations where this could occur are as
follows:
Industrial Accident at the BNPD or Energy Centre
Airline, Road, or Marine Accident
Explosion or Fire
Collapse of a public building.
In any situation which involved dead and/or injured persons, the following play
critical roles as defined in this Chapter:
Coroner
OPP
Ambulance Service
Fire Fighters
Funeral Directors
The Clergy and Social Services Agencies.
The activities of all of these groups must be coordinated to ensure the law is
adhered to, injuries are quickly attended to, and that appropriate dignity is
afforded all human remains.
Although the Site Emergency Coordinator is appointed by the Head, MCG, the
OPP would normally assume this role if there are a large number of fatalities, and
Ambulance Services would assume the role if the response is primarily involving
injuries. In all cases the on-scene response is a shared responsibility of all
emergency response agencies.
2.0 Aim
The aim of this section is to guide the actions of those authorities and persons
involved in the treatment of large numbers of injured persons and those involved
in the investigation, reporting, examination, and disposition of human remains,

triage, first aid, etc. would be carried out by that person.
However, in the event that BNPD calls in Ambulance Services to assist in
a Multiple Casualty event, the overall response will be coordinated and
manaaed bv Ambulance Services according to this Plan and their
procedures. BNPD Emergency Response Teams will assist the
Ambulance On-Site Emergency Coordinator, as requested.
3.2 Concept of Operations

APPENDIX 9
Bruce Energy Centre
1.0 Introduction
The Bruce Energy Centre (BEC) is a group of industries located approximately 2
km east of the BNPD Site. Although the industries presently located in the
Energy Centre do not present an undue or unusual hazard to the Community
which requires special planning, the location of the industries close proximity to
the BNPD requires special attention.
2.0 Aim
The aim of this section is to provide guidelines to the Community and BEC
Industries for protection of the Bruce Energy Centre Industries in the event of a
Nuclear Emergency at the BNPD Site which could affect the BEC.
3.0
Scope
Each industry within the BEC is unique from a construction and operational
standpoint, therefore, it is not within the scope of this plan to provide detailed
procedures for each industry. However, this plan does provide a guideline for
the preparation of procedures for individual BEC Industries.
Each Industry within the BEC shall prepare individual Emergency procedures
according to the guidelines in this plan. These procedures should be reviewed
by the Regional Emergency Planning Coordinator to ensure consistency with
Municipal and BNPD Site Emergency Plans.
4.0 . Bruce Energy Centre Emergency Procedures
Each Emergency Procedure should contain the following elements:
4.1 Roles & Responsibilities
The roles and responsibilities of employees and management should be
identified.
The individuals responsible for the following actions should be identified:
Notifications
First Aid & Medical Assistance
Ventilation Shut-down
Closing Doors
Municipal Emergency Plan
A9 -3
Rev 6 - (Final Plan) April 2002
Appendix 9
Plant Shut-down
. Fire Fighting
Security
Ordering Evacuation
Transportation.
4.2 Alerting & Notifications
(a) Initial Alertina
In the event of a Nuclear Emergency the Warning Sirens will be
activated.
At the same time, a call is placed by the BNPD to the BEC Liaison
