On October 10, 2016, a disaster drill by simulating a severe accident at the Genkai Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) was held in Saga Prefecture. Based on expectations of large-scale evacuations in the event of a nuclear disaster, drills for sheltering in place and evacuation were conducted with the participation of the public including local people, social welfare facilities and schools. Another exercise for radiation emergency medical care was also conducted. It was about giving a decontamination treatment at the Japanese Red Cross Karatsu Hospital designated as a secondary radiation emergency hospital to a person injured and contaminated by a nuclear accident at the Genkai NPP and transporting the patient to an advanced radiation emergency medicine support center of the Nagasaki University Hospital.
