// Strategic Significance
James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant sits on Lake Ontario in Oswego County New York alongside Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station making this a two-plant nuclear campus on the Great Lakes. Lake Ontario contamination from a release would affect drinking water for millions in New York State and Canada. The 50-mile zone reaches toward Syracuse New York.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
Lake Ontario contamination would affect drinking water intakes for New York communities along the southern shore and Canadian communities across the lake. The 50-mile ingestion zone encompasses Syracuse and Oswego. Lake Ontario fish — particularly lake trout and salmon — support significant commercial and recreational fisheries that would face severe restrictions.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
10-mile EPZ: Evacuate via NY-104 east or west. Monitor New York State Emergency Management Office broadcasts. 50-mile zone: Syracuse area residents monitor NYSEMO guidance. Lake Ontario fish and water intake restrictions would affect both US and Canadian communities. International notification protocols would be activated.
