Localities within 50 miles of the Louisa County plant will participate in the drill Tuesday and Wednesday. Smaller drills are held annually. The plant is located about 90 miles south of Washington, D.C.

Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will monitor the event and send a report within 90 days to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to use in making licensing decisions.

The commission has taken enforcement action following drills at the nation's 104 commercial nuclear reactors in the past.
