How would local residents be evacuated if there was an incident at Bradwell?
Emergency plans are prepared for all credible incidents for all our sites. The County Council has responsibility for emergency planning for all eventualities, and we work closely with them and the emergency services. These plans are reviewed and tested regularly, including contingency plans for evacuation in the very remote chance that this should this be required. The extent of the detailed emergency planning zone for a power station is determined by the regulators, based on the worst credible accident for a specific site. We understand that Tollesbury and Mersea Island are outside the existing detailed emergency planning zone because there are no credible incidents that would require immediate emergency response at this distance from the site.
