Radiological Emergency Program

The  Division's Radiological Emergency Program has a responsibility to coordinate the response to a nuclear power plant emergency state and local agencies. The Division’s Radiological Emergency Program also has the responsibility of updating and coordinating the response plans with other organizations.

The reactor located at Crystal River Nuclear Power Plant Site has been decommissioned for some time now and there are no plans to restart it. Two additional reactors are located in Alabama near the State line.
