This is a special opportunity for interested staff to
participate in the County’s Ginna response plan.
Monroe County is the lead in coordinating our local
response (partners include government, private-sector
and volunteers) to a Ginna emergency event. The federal
government has established planning criteria for
municipalities within certain distances of nuclear power
plants (10 miles). In Monroe County, this encompasses
portions of the Towns of Webster and Penfield.
