Kewaunee County emergency response agencies will take part in a simulated nuclear power plant incident Sept. 23-24.
The Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant must demonstrate an ability to respond to a radioactive plume release that might affect the area. This year, a demonstration will include the evacuation of a fifth-grade class at Holy Rosary School to St. Mary's Catholic School in Algoma, a 10-mile move.
Local ambulance, highway and emergency response personnel will also take part.
On the second day, the emergency personnel will have to deal with returning evacuees. The public may see emergency teams sampling water and soil, hear a test of the siren system and see federal or governmental vehicles in the area.
