PHILADELPHIA— The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will evaluate a Biennial Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise at the Surry Power Station. The exercise will occur on July 22, 2025 to assess the ability of the Commonwealth of Virginia to respond to an emergency at the nuclear facility.
