On November 12 and 13, 2026, a national nuclear safety exercise will be held at the Blayais nuclear power plant. This simulation, conducted by state services and EDF, aims to test the procedures that would be activated in the event of a nuclear accident, including emergency organization, crisis management, public alert, and protection.
On Thursday, November 12, various services and operational cells will face a fictional scenario to assess their crisis response capabilities. Friday, November 13, will be dedicated to post-accident management.
A public meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 12, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM, at the Salle Multifonctions, located at 2 avenue de la République in Braud-et-Saint-Louis. Organizers strongly encourage residents to attend to learn about the exercise and ask questions.
It is emphasized that understanding the correct actions and the planned organization for a real event concerns everyone, even if it is only an exercise. The information is to be shared to ensure maximum attendance.
