Abstract

The purpose of evacuation as a protective action at nuclear power plants is to remove people from areas potentially affected by wind-borne radioactive material. A reason for conducting evacuation time estimates studies is to aid decision-makers in the selection of appropriate protective actions. Another reason to conduct evacuation time estimates studies is to identify ways to reduce evacuation time through the development of appropriate plans.
