A full-scale exercise of the radiological emergency plan for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant will conducted in Dorchester County sometime this week, according to June C. McKelvey, director of the Dorchester County Emergency Management and Civil Defense Agency.

A federal requirement for the exercise is that the exact date must not be announced to county participants, she said. County emergency response personnel will be required to demonstrate evacuation and sheltering of evacuees from the Taylors Island area of the county; set up access control points to that area; monitor evacuees, emergency workers and vehicles for radiological contamination and perform decontamination of people and equipment as necessary.

There may be some unusual activities observed in the Rt. 16 area between Egypt Road and Taylors Island on the day of the exercise. Federal Emergency Management Agency observers will evaluate the performance of all emergency response agencies to determine the county’s capabilities to respond to an incident at the power plant.
