Planning and preparation of emergency rescue plan

The emergency organization of nuclear power plants in China is structured around the plant's emergency command department, which leads the response team. The head of the plant typically serves as the general emergency commander, with the first deputy director and operations manager acting as alternates. This leader is responsible for managing all internal emergency activities and external tasks outlined in the emergency plan during critical situations.

The operational command is managed by the deputy director overseeing production and operations. Their main role is to oversee the plant’s functioning and report safety conditions to the general commander before initiating an emergency response. They act on behalf of the commander when necessary. The technical support commander is a senior officer focused on process technology, providing essential guidance on operational control, corrective actions, protective measures, and environmental monitoring during emergencies.

Emergency plans are composed of several key components, including preparation procedures, basic emergency protocols, and specific risk management strategies. These elements ensure that all potential scenarios are addressed systematically and effectively.

Preparation procedures involve reviewing emergency readiness, defining roles, and evaluating available resources. Training and exercises are vital for testing the plan’s effectiveness, ensuring staff proficiency, and identifying areas for improvement. Communication systems must remain functional to maintain coordination between internal teams and external agencies.

Evacuation procedures outline how personnel should move safely from affected areas, while traffic control ensures safe movement during crises. Recovery efforts focus on restoring normal operations after an incident, depending on factors like damage extent and resource availability.

Special emergency procedures address unique risks such as chemical leaks, fires, typhoons, and floods. These scenarios require tailored responses to mitigate their impact. Hazard identification and risk assessment form the foundation of any effective emergency plan, ensuring that potential threats are understood and managed proactively.

Emergency planning involves assembling a dedicated team, gathering data, assessing risks, and developing a comprehensive strategy. Clear roles and responsibilities are crucial to ensure swift and coordinated action during an actual emergency. Regular training and drills help reinforce preparedness and improve response efficiency.

Ultimately, a well-structured emergency plan is essential for safeguarding lives, protecting property, and maintaining operational continuity in the face of unforeseen challenges.
