1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Staff has received the revised Provincial Nuclear Response Plan (PNERP)
Master Plan which received Cabinet approval in February 2009. The new
Plan replaces the existing Plan, which was issued in 1999 and
subsequently updated after extensive consultation with the various
stakeholders.
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 The main areas of change in the new Plan are summarized below:
• Public Alerting - A standard has been developed for the 3-10
.kilometer zone as requested by both Durham Region Council and
Local Municipal Councils
• KI Pills -The Plan now requires the Region to make Potassium
Iodine (KI) pills available to the population in the entire 10 kilometer
zone
• Evacuation Strategy - An all-routes approach has been decided to
facilitate a more effective and efficient evacuation
• The Provincial Plan must be reviewed every 4 years
• Emergency Management and Civic Protection Act -Provisions of
the Act that came into effect in 2006 have been incorporated in the
new Plan
• Site Specific Plans -must still be developed by the Province for
Pickering and Darlington: Plans are to be finalized by the end of
this year. In turn, the Durham Region Nuclear Plan, along with
Clarington's Plan will require revision in 2010.
