An Emergency Measures Ontario exercise will study the impact of a Natural Disaster on the Bruce Power facility at Tiverton.
“Huron Challenge” is the title of a three-county Emergency Measures Ontario exercise slated for October 12th.
Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt says the exercise arises out of the Bruce’s experiences helping out Goderich last August.
Shewfelt says his municipality’s team has visited Bruce Power to share its lessons from the tornado.
Shewfelt says Bruce Power was among the first responders to offer help in wake of the August 21st tornado.
He says the firm has taken its observations to heart, and is updating its Emergency Plan in the context of the Goderich experience.
The Mayor says the nuclear provider has run computer projections to simulate the impact a tornado might have on the plant.
Shewfelt says Emergency Measures Ontario will co-ordinate a three-county preparedness exercise focusing on a natural disaster impacting Bruce Power.
