Junk Plant Brunswick Faux Temination of Emergency Level

What if you have a fire, police, injured employee emergency? You going to get that ambulance...EMTs...on site in enough in enough time and they to the hospital. In a big fire, could you get the towns and cities off site fire trucks into the site. The continued access limitation is a direct threat to the plant.   The police access to the site would be delayed. City and town fire fighting resources are critical to the safety of the plant.

It just amazing how easily the plant can bend the rules and the NRC is so docile. It would be interesting of they have to resubmit this kind of emergency in near future of flooding.
