RE: Terrorist attacks on nuclear facilities
How about the personnel responsible for the emergency plans, do they work
inside the nuclear plant or they have their offices outside the plant? Or,
is the City where the plant is located responsible for that kind of
emergencies?

Every facility has emergency response plans specific to its
location. The
number involved elsewhere wouldn't really affect each plant's
response.
Although I don't recall that the E-plans necessarily take into
account a
complete lack of external resources from multiple incidents, their
comprehensive design inherently makes each facility self-sufficient
with
regard to initial responses. The followup procedures, such as access
to
medical facilities, are the stages where you reach "transport
injured
personnel to hospitals A, B, and C in that order of priority." This
is where
the procedures might be modified or delayed as necessary. Those
currently
working in E-plan development can give a more precise account.
