The Energy Communities Alliance (ECA) will hold a webinar about emergency response planning for upcoming nuclear storage projects on Nov. 5 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Registration for the webinar can be found here.
According to ECA, the webinar will look to highlight how local communities and local officials collaborate together to practice joint drills and provide communication to maintain trust and safety for those who work and live near nuclear projects.
“Participants will gain insight into best practices for integrating project-specific safety requirements into local emergency operations and for sustaining preparedness over the full lifecycle of a nuclear facility.”
The panel will contain several local officials, such as the Craig, Colo.Police Department’s Chief of Police Mike Cochran and Los Alamos County in New Mexico Councilor Randall Ryti. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy’s Director of Storage and Transportation Erica Bickford has been invited to the webinar as well.
