(Two Rivers) WFRV Point Beach Nuclear Plant in Two Rivers is the site of a full-scale emergency response exercise on Tuesday.
Federal regulations require local and state government agencies to biennially demonstrate they can protect the health and safety of people potentially at risk in a 10 mile radius of a nuclear plant.
Lori Hucek, Kewaunee County Emergency Management Director, said about 100 employees and volunteers will take part in the April 17 exercise. Similar staff operations will occur simultaneously in Manitowoc County and Madison (where state government response is coordinated).
