It should help to provide an overall appreciation of the consequences of accidents at nuclear plants and of the arrangements made to deal with them. In addition, publication of this information should help to reassure members of the public, especially those who live or work near nuclear plants, that detailed and well rehearsed plans exist for their protection in the unlikely event of an emergency'.
