French authorities and EDF are organizing a national safety exercise on November 12 and 13 around the Blayais nuclear power plant in Gironde. For two days, a simulated nuclear accident will test emergency response coordination, evacuation procedures, and alert systems. The operation will involve 80 municipalities in Gironde and Charente-Maritime, including the activation of the FR-Alert system within a 20-kilometer radius. School evacuations are also planned. This exercise, conducted every five years, aims to verify the authorities' response capacity and prepare for the protection of the population.
