Officials: Oyster Creek Drill Successful By Chris Lundy LACEY – The scenario is pretty frightening: a plume of radiation has escaped Oyster Creek Generating Station. Fortunately, it was only a drill, and according to the people grading the test, local officials passed with flying colors, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Committee. There was a three-day “Full Scale Plume/ Ingestion Pathway Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise” throughout local towns recently. The plume was imagined to stretch 10 miles from the plant, then 50 miles. At that point, the “Ingestion” part of the drill came in. Officials had to collect data and determine whether the agriculture in the vicinity would be safe to consume.

The municipalities that were tested included: Ship Bottom, Ocean Township, Pine Beach, Barnegat, Beachwood, Berkeley, Toms River, Harvey Cedars, Island Heights, Long Beach Township, Lacey, Ocean Gate, Barnegat Light,
