The drill evaluation was conducted using newly developed assessment forms, and all emergency personnel for Wolseong Unit 4 participated to verify the operational capabilities of mobile emergency response equipment such as power generator vehicles and pump vehicles in response to the simulated accident.
The training was focused on emergency maintenance during radiological emergencies and first aid for contaminated and injured personnel.
