Re: Residents Angry After Nuke Release

> How often is that material disseminated?

Mike,

It's been over 3 years since I left the utility world, so am 
confident that others will be able to address how their plant 
currently updates emergency planning information. I know at FPL we 
distributed materials to every household annually. I do not know how 
information is provided to someone who moves into a neighborhood 
during the year. I believe there is a mechanism, but don't know 
positively how that is accomplished.

Florida had a very good program and there was a positive relationship 
between local governments, utility and the media. I never had a real 
problem when dealing with the media either for the Turkey Point Plant 
or St. Lucie Plant ENC news briefings. The media were generally 
interested in learning all the details, and reporting them as 
accurately and with as little emotional overtones as possible. All in 
all, it was a good experience.
