That's what the Port Hope fire department says will protect you if there's a serious radiological fire at Cameco or Zircatec. The fire department has released its Emergency Radiological Plan, a document that is intended to assure us that we can be safe in our homes or vehicles until help arrives. We should put plastic sheeting on all our windows with duct tape. And we should stay in our homes, being careful to shut off all heating or air conditioning. Emergency supplies include food, bottled water, first aid supplies and a working radio. If we're in our cars, we should immediately put duct tape over all vents and park under overpasses to keep cool. The plan does not say the Port Hope fire department is not equipped or trained to successfully fight a worst-case fire at either nuclear facility. But that appears to be the case, and there is no estimate about how long we would have to wait until outside help can arrive. Feel safer now?
