Information Notice 1986-18, NRC On-Scene Response During a Major Emergency

Hi

March 26, 1986 Over the past two years the Federal agencies have been developing a comprehen-

' -

sive Federal plan which describes the manner in which twelve Federal agencies

will respond to any peacetime radiological incident.

This plan, the Federal

Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), was published in the Federal

Register on November 8, 1985 (Attachment 1).

Utilities were invited to attend conferences on the Federal response to radio- logical emergencies which described the concept of the FRERP and demonstrated

the Federal equipment and capabilities available to respond to these emergen- cies.

These conferences were held in Las Vegas (June 1984), Atlanta (December

1984) and Chicago (April 1985).

Description of Circumstances

Based on the designated NRC role and its responsibilities incorporated in the

FRERP, the NRC regional offices will initially respond to a major accident with

a team of about 12-18 individuals.

The initial NRC site team will be located

at the Technical Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility as indicated

in NUREG-0696 and NUREG-0845.

The NUREG-0696 guidance for NRC space is adequate

to satisfy initial site team needs.

For some types of accidents the initial site

team will be the extent of NRC personnel needed in the vicinity of the site.

However, our experience has shown that for a major accident there will be

additional NRC personnel needed.

After about 6-12 hours into a major accident, additional NRC site team members will begin arriving. This expanded site team

will provide more technical depth and backup personnel for the Initial site team

as well as individuals to carry out tasks at other organizations' facilities, such as the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center, State Emergencj,>

Operations Centers and the FEMA Federal Response Center.

Attachment 2 is an

organization chart of an expanded site team which may be put in place within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a major accident. It shows the locations where team members need to

interact. The team is composed of approximately 50 individuals per shift, about

half of whom are located at other organizations' facilities.

We are aware that

many EOFs have, by design, limited space and cannot accommodate the number of

NRC individuals identified as having tasks that are closely related to activities

at the EOF.

In those cases where sufficient space is not available in existing

facilities, we will place these individuals in alternate locations to carry out

their tasks.

This may include the NRC obtaining, through the FRERP, other

accommodations.

If existing facilities could accommodate additional personnel, these would be considered on a case by case basis.

Accidents resulting in doses

offsite in excess of-EPA PAG and warranting full NRC site team response would

most likely be rare.

Construction of additional facilities is not warranted for

such situations.

The NRC expanded site team concept has been developed as planning guidance for

NRC personnel to consider in responding to a major accident and requires no

backfit for increased facilities space to accommodate the NRC site team.

The

NRC staff will need to consider with each licensee, ways of making more efficient

use of available space, of providing adequate communications, and of identifying

alternate space where relevant data could be made available in a timely, reliable

manner.

NRC regional staff will be working with licensees on a case-by-case basis

to coordinate this effort and devise an approach that will ensure that the NRC

can perform its full role and functions adequately.

IN 86-18 March 26, 1986 Licensee cooperation is requested in meeting with NRC regional staff in the next

several months and determining the most effective means of satisfying NRC site

team logistics and communication needs.

No specific action or written response

to this information notice or enclosure to it is required.

If you have any

questions regarding this matter, please contact the Regional Administrator of

the appropriate NRC regional office or this office.

ACTION Notice.

The Federal Radiological Emergency

Response Plan (FRERPJ is now fully

operational for use in the Federal

response to a radiological emergency.

The Federal Radiological Emergency

Response Plan, referred to

interchangeably as the Federal Plan, has

been developed by the Federal

Emergency Management Agency

(FFMA) and eleven other Federal

agencies and was published on

September 1Z 1984 (Federal Register, Vol. 49, No. 178. pp. 35896-35925). It was

developed in response to E.O. 12241 and

provides for Federal agencies to

discharge their responsibilities during a

wide range of peacetime radiological

emergencies. It was published In interim

but operational form pending formal

agency concurrences by each of the

twelve agenices that cooperated in the

developement of this Plan.

Since the September 12 1984

publication, FEMA presented this plan

to the management of the other eleven

agencies for their concurrence. Each of

these agencies has provided its written

concurrence in the Plan. The

Department of Transportationrs

concurrence has been provided subject

to a revision of the summary of the

Department of Transportation Response

Plan as contained in the FRERP. The

Department of Defense concurrence also

has been provided subject to a revision

of the summary of the Department of

Defense Response Plan and to other

minor changes.

FEMA and other members of the

Federal Response Subcommittee have

reviewed these changes and have

determined that they are minor. clarify

Federal agency roles and

responsibilities and do not affect the

basic organization or responsiveness of

the Plan. The Federal Radiological

Emergency Response Plan, including the

changes provided by the Department of

Transportation and the Department of

Defense, is hereby published as the

operational plan.

1. Introduction and

Background

A.

Purpose

Thc Federal Radiological Emergency

Response Plan (FRERP) is to be used by

Federal agencies in peacetime

radiological emergencies. It primarily

concerns the oftsite Federal response in

support of State and local governments

with jurisdiction for the emergency. The

FRFRP: (1) Provides the Federal

go% ernment's concept of operations

based on specific authorities for

responding to radiological emergencies:

(2) outlines Federal policies and

planning assumptions that underlie this

concept of operations and on which

Federadl agency response plans (in

addition to their agency-specific

policies) were based: and (3) specifies

authorities and responsibilities of each

Federal agency that may have a

significant role in such emergencies.i

The FRERP includes the Federal

Radiological Monitoring and

Assessment Plan (FRMAP) for use by

Federal agencies with radiological

monitoring and assessment capabilities

Part A of the FRERP also includes

summaries of Federal agency response

plans. Part B consists of individual

agencies' response plans, which are

maintained by the respective agencies

These response plans provide specific

guidance to Federal agencies for

implementing Part I of the FRERP.

Part A of the FRERP will be revised

by FEMA. as necessary. in coordination

with the Subcommittee on Federal

Response of the Federal Radiological

Preparedness Coordinating Committee

(FRPCC). DoE will have primary

responsibility for proposing changes to

the FRMAP section of the FRERP to the

Subcommittee. Agencies should provide

updates of their offsite plans and

procedures to the Director. FENIA.

FEMA will periodically exercise the \\

FRERP in coordination with the

Subcommittee on Federal Response and

the Subcommittee on Training and

Exercises of the FRPCC. The results of

such exercises will be used to update

the FRERP and individual agency offsite

response plans and procedures as

necessary. The FRERP will be published

from time to time in the Federal

Register.

B. Scope

The FRERP covers any peacetime

radiological emergency occurring within

the United States. its territories.

possessions, and territorial waters that

could require a significant response by

several Federal agencies. Specifically.

emergencies occurring at fixed nuclear

facilities or during the transportation of

radioactive materials. including nuclear

weapons, may fall within the scope of

the plan regardless of whether the

facility or radioactive materials are

publicly or privately owned. Federally

regulated. or regulated by an Agreement

46543 State.'The time period during which the

FRERP is In effect encompasses the

Federal response from Initial

notification of the Federal agencies

through providing assistance to the State

and local governments In recovering

from the emergency and deactivation of

the Federal response.

This plan applies to peacetime

emergencies resulting from the following

types of Incidents:

Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents;

Transportation Incidents; and

Other Incidents. e.g., nuclear.

powered satellite re-entry.

Each type of Incident presents

different types of response problems.

Fixed nuclear facilities. including

nuclear power reactors, have the

advantages of known locations and

existing site-specific emergency plans.

Classifications of incident severity have

been developed for many of these

facilities, and the level of the Federal

response may be guided by those

classifications. The Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) Instituted a

classification scheme for licensed

nuclear power plants which has been In

use for several years. This scheme is

being expanded to Include other NRC

licensed facilities, and DoD and DoE are

developing classification and reporting

systems for their facilities which are

similar to the NRC classification

scheme.

Response to transportation accidents

Is more difficult to pInn, as such

accidents may occur anywhere, may

Involve a variety of radioactive

materials, and may represent much less

of a radiological hazard or serious threat

to the public. In most cases. State

resources or a limited Federal response

will suffice.

Nuclear weapons accidents, weapon.

uignificant Incidents, and spent fuel

Incidents are not significantly different

from accidents at fixed facilities or

accidents during transportation of

ruldioactive materials, and consequently

are covered by these latter types of

Incidents.

The category of "other Incidents"

contains events that do not fit Into the

other two types of Incidents. These

Incidents are more closely related to

transportation incidents than to fixed

nuclear facility Incidents with regdrd to

the nature of the Federml response that

can he expected.

Sabotage and terrorism are not

treated Rs separate types of incidents:

complicating dimension of the Incident

types listed above. In general. responses

to radiological emergencies do not

depend on the Initiating event. Thus, for

example, a coordinated response to

contain and mitigate a threatened or

actual release of radioactive material

from a power reactor would be

essentially the same whether It resulted

from an accidental or deliberate act. As

a practical matter, the cause of the

problem may not be known until post- accident Investigations are completed.

The Atomic Energy Act directs the

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to

Investigate all alleged or suspected

criminal violations of the Act. The

Attorney GeneraL operating through the

FBI and other appropriate personnel In

the Department of justice or In other

Executive Departments, has the

authority to investigate any alleged or

suspected violations. The FB Is also

legally responsible for locating any

nuclear weapon. device, or material and

for restoring nuclear facilities to their

rightful custodlans.

in view or the FBI's unique

responsibilities under The Atomic

Energy Act. as amended by the Energy

Reorganization Act. It Is realistic to

expect that the DoD, DoE, or NRC will

assist the FBI In locating and

subsequently rcutreilzing any nuclear

w eapon or device of unauthorized

origin. The FBI also will Interface with

these agencies as needed In responding

to such acts.

Another aspect of the scope of the

FRERP concerns the location of the

response to the emergency. The FRERP

Is concerned primarily with Federal

support to State and local governments

beyond the Immediate site of the

emergency, i.e.. "off site". For

emergencies occurred at fixed nuclear

facilities. "off site" generally refers to

the area beyond the facility boundary.

For a fixed nuclear facility owned.

uuthorized. or regulated by a Federal

agency, the onsite Federal support Is the

responsibility of that Federal agency,

Ie., the CFA. For emergencies that do

not occur at fixed nuclear facilities and

for which no physical boundary exists, the offsite area Is not defined. For

example. In most transportation

accidents not Involving nuclear

weapons the State or Iocal government

will define an area "on site" at the time

of the accident and manage all actions

within that area. In such accidents

Federal agencies have no Independent

authority for defining the onsite srea.

For a transportation accident involving

materials shipped by or for DoD. D or.

tiuos e;nencies. us CFAs. will define and

n'tntrl the onsite ares and L.iko a..tiina

on site depending on which of these

agencies has custody of the material at

the time of the accident. For certain

spent fuel accidents DoE would be the

CFA under Pub. L 97-425 and have

authority over the spent fuel material, but the State or local government would

define and control the onsute area. In

Agreement States, the State agency with

regulatory authority will fulfill the onsiue

response role normally provided by the

CFA for all activities that the State

regulates.

The plan is designed to accommodate

all types of peacetime radiological

emergencies. However, the Federal

response to different types of

radiological emergencies under the

FRERP will differ based on the type or

amount of radioactive material Involved.

the potential for public Impact, the size

of the affected area. and the time

available to respond.

C. Authorities

The following are the authorities for

the response of the malor Federal

agencies participating in this plan:

The Atomic Energy Act of 1954. as

amended. Pub. L.03-703. This Act

has developed this plan. It also assigns

Additional authorities for other

Federal agencies are presented in

Section IV.

0. Planning Assumptiuns

The following broad assumptions and

policies have been used to prepare Part

A of this plan and to develop the

individual agency response plans and

procedures contained in Part B.

1. Public and Private Sector Response

The owner or operator of an afrected

nuclear facility has primary

responsibility for actions within the

boundaries of that facility for

minimizing the radiological hazard to

the public. State or local governments

have primary responsibility for

determining and implementing any

measures to protect life. property. and

the environment in any areas not within

the boundaries of a fixed nuclear facility

or otherwise not within the control of a

Federal agency. For example, in a

transportation accident (other than one

involving nuclear weapons) the State or

local government has the responsibility

for taking emergency actions both on

site and off site. During an emergency.

appropriate Federal resources may be

ued to support State and local

governments' response measures, if

requested. Federal agency response

plans recognize the primacy of the

response roles of owners or operators

and State and local governments.

If the owner or operator of a

radiological activity is licensed or

regulated by a State agency in an

"Agreement State". that State agency

would provide onsite monitoring.

ev.lutation. and advice. However, the

Federal government will provide any

appropriate support requested by that

State agency or other State or local

agencies with jurisdiction.

Certain Federal agencies have onsite

response roles in a radiological

emergency when a Federal agency

owns, authorizes. or regulates a facility

or radiological activity and has the

authority to take action on site. That

Federal agency is primarily responsible

for monitoring the owner or operator's

activities and for providing needed

assistance. For example, in the case of

an emergency at a licensed commercial

nuclear power plant. the Nuclear

Regulatory Commission monitors the

situation, evaluates licensee actions.

and advises the licensee, as appropriate.

(n the licensee's efforts to bring the

Peactor into a stable condition and

minimize the offsite radiological

consequences.

2. Federal Agency Authorities

Notwithstanding the primacy of the

State for protecting public health and

safety off site, some Federal agencies

have statutory or other authorities for

responding to certain situations

affecting public health and safety

without a State request.Section IV of

this plan cites those relevant legislative

and executive authorities. This plan

provides a framework for coordinating

Federal actions within those authorities:

it does not create any new authorities.

3. fisis for a Federal Response

The Federal government will respond

when: (1) A state, other governmental

entity with jurisdiction, or regulated

entity requests Federal support: or. (2J

Federal agencies must respond to meet

their statutory responsibilities. e g..

when an emergency significantly affects

Federal missions, property, or resources.

Any Federal response will be closely

coordinated with the State or local

governments concerned.

Responses to incidents on or affecting

Federal lands are to be coordinated with

Federal land management agencies to

ensure that response activities are

consistent with Federal statutes

go'vcrning the use and occupancy of

these lands. In addition. Federally

recognized Indian tribes have a special

relationship with the United Statcs of

America. and State and local

governments may have limited or no

authority on their reservations. The

Bureau of Indian Affairs of the

Department of the Interior (Doll is

available to assist other agencies in

consulting with these tribes about

radiological emergency preparedness

and responses to incidents.

4. Federal Agency Resource

Commitments

The resources of the Federdl agencies

will be made available during

radiological assistance operations.

subject to prior commitments to fulfill

other operational requirements

considered essential based on statutory

responsibilities. Agencies committing

resources under this plan do so with the

understanding that the duration of the

commitment of those resources will

depend on the nature and extent of the

emergency. It is further understood that

subsequent emergencies that are more

serious or of higher priority (such as

those that may jeopardize national

security) may require Federal agencies

to reassess resources previously

committed under this plan.

S. Protocol for Federal Assistance

Requests by Owners or Operators

The owner or operator of a facility or

radiological activity. either piivate or

authorized or regulated by the Federal

government. can ask for assistance

directly from the appropriate Federal

agency with which they have

preexisting arrangements or

relationships. The State or local

governments, as well as the CFA and

FEMIA. should be informed by the

Federal agency first contacted when

such assistance is requested.

6. Coordination of State and Local

Assistance Requests

After notification of a radiological

emergency that could significantly

impact the public health and safety. . nd

dfter discussions with the CFA. or upon

a direct State request for assistance.

FEMA will designate and deploy a

Senior FEMA Official (SF0) to provide a

single point of contact. as required. for

State and local assistance requests.

Where possible. the SFO will co-locate

with the State representative at an

offsite location. State and local

government requests for assistance can

also be made directly to individual

Federal agencies with which they have

preexisting arrangements or

telationships. Federal agencies

contacted directly will inform the SFO.

When State and local authorities dre

enable to obtain the required assistance.

they should direct requests for offsite

Federal assistance to the SFO. or, in the

absence of such a designated official. to

the appropriate FEMIA regional office.

The Governor of the affected State

is ill be advised of the designation of tie

SFO and will be asked to designate a

State representative as the State

Coordinating Officer (SCO) to pro% ide a

principal point of State contact. The

SFO will promote effective operating

relationships among Federal. State.

local. volunteer. and private agencies.

7. Federal and State Communications

Emergency response requires a

continuous flow of information among

Federal and State agencies thoughout an

emergency. This plan does not restrict

this flow. However, for the SFO to

coordinate response actions and

maintain the most current information.

Federal agencies need to keep the SFO

informed of their mador response efforts

and activities that might impinge on the

ad ions of other agencies.

8 Federal Referrals of State and Local

Assistance Requests

State and local authorities will be

ens ouraged to coordinate their actions

46545 with the SCO. Nevertheless. sonic state

and local authorities may contact

Federal agencies directly in accordance

with established plans and procedures

or preexisting relationships. Federal

agencies have response plans and

procedures that describe their

responsibilities in support of the State.

Through the use of the FRERP and these

pl.ais/procedures. the State can

dirtermine the most appropriate Federal

agency to contact for the required

assistance. Whenever a question arises

as to the appropriate agency to contact.

the State should contact the FFNIA/

SF0.

.. Coordination Among Federal

Agem ies

Fiederal agencies should coordinate

their actions with the SI'O. In addition.

Federal agencies will coommunicate

freely and interact directly with other

Federal agencies as required during

emergencies.

10. Public Information Coordination

Public information on the

consequences of an emergency must be

.accurat1'. timely. and edsilv understood.

Public information must bLe

closely

coordinated with State and local

officials and dissenminated to the public

from official government sources State

lrficijls are responsible for keeping

their populace adequately informed.

Since the Federal government's role is to

he.lp the State, the public information

officers or the responding Federal

agenices will. if requested. help State

information officials prepare news

releases and hold press conferences

concerning the health and safety of the

puolic.

major transportation accidents involving

nuclear materials other than DoD or

DoE material. no Federal agency has the

authority to become the CFA. In these

instances. and in all other emergencies

not cited above which require

implementation of the FRERP. FFNA

will consult with other appropriate

Federal agencies regarding the CFA role.

The result of such consultation will be

either that a Federdl agency assumes the

CFA role. or that a decision is made that

the CFA role is not appropriate.

Whenever it is determined that a CFA is

not appropriate. FEMA will coordinate

the Federal response. relying on

agencies with the technical expertise to

evaluate the situation and develop

advice for State and local governments.

NRC. 0O. or

.no, or

No:

The CFA. in con junction with FEMA

whenever possible. will present any

Federal recommendations to the State or

other appropriate offsite authority with

jurisdiction for implementing or relaxing

protective actions. In the case of a fixed

nuclear facility licensed by the NRC. the

licensee is responsible for developing

appropriate protective action

recommendations and promptly

providing those recommendations to

State and local authorities without

awaiting NRC's concurrence. NRC, in

the role of CFA. will evaluate the

licensee's protective action

recommendations as time permits. and

will either concur in them or suggest

modifications. as appropriate. FEMA is

then responsible for promoting

coordination among Federal agencies

providing assistance to the State in

implementing those recommendations if

such assistance is requested by the

State. and for communicating those

recommendations to the responding

Federal agencies.

B. Nrotificoton. Activation. flecovcry.

and Deactivation

The headquarters officials of FEMA

and each CFA will rollow a pre- established system for notifying all

appropriate Federil agencies.

1. Notification

The owner or operator of the facility

or radiological activity is generally the

first to become aware of a radiological

emergency. and is responsible for

notifying the appropnate State and

Federal authontiec

Subsequent to Its receipt of a

notification of an incident, the CFA will

notify FEMA headquarters in

Washington. D.C. by contacting the

FEMA Emergency Information dnd

Coordination Center (EICC). CFAs

maintain similar emergency operation

centers at their headquarters. regional.

or field offices.

A notification should include a

description of the emergency situation

so that FEMA can carry out its further

notification and response duties. The

CFA will provide FEMA with a general

assessment of the emergency including

location and nature of the accident. an

assessment of the severity of the

problem as known, a description of the

CFA's response. and any follow-on

actions anticipated by the CFA.

FEMA will verify that the State has- been notified of the emergency by

contacting the State. FEMA and the CFA

will notify other appropriate Federal

agencies-of the emergency in

accordance with their notification

procedures. pre-established interagency

agreements, or interagency operational

response procedures. If no Federal

agency has the authority to assume the

CFA role. FEMA will make all

notifications. In those cases where

Federal lands could be affected. FFMA

will notify the Federal agency with

jurisdiction. The notifications will

incorporate relevant information

exchanged between the CFA. if any. and

FELMA. Individual agencies should

determine their specific requirements for

subsequent information. whenever those

requirements have not been predefined

with the CFA or FEMA.

DoE will notify Federal agencies with

FRMAP responsibilities in accordance

with agreed-upon procedures. Federal

agencies that can provide radiological

assistance may respond upon receiving

a request for assistance from the State

or owner or operator. Federal agencies

so contacted will inform the DoE as

soon as their response team arrives at

the scene.

2. Activation

Upon receipt of notification. each

agency will assess the need to initiate

its response. The response decision will

be based on the situation reported and

may consist of several steps:

Alerting or activating appropriate

Federal agency response components.

Determining whether State or local

government requests for assistance have

been received (where appropriate):

Activation of agency emergency

response teams and their deployment to

the scene: and

Establishment of bases of operation

at the scene of the emergency froi:

which to carry out a coordinated

Federal response.

A full-scale Federal response begins

with the execution of the notification

scheme and includes all the above four

steps. Since many emergencies will not

require a full-scale response. the Federal

response might reach only the first or

second step. When the Federal response

reaches the third step. FEMA will so

notify the affected State. When the third

or fourth step is reached. an sro may

be deployed to establish an offaite base

of operation for coordinating the Federal

response. i.e.. a Federal Response

Center (FRC). The FRC will be

established at a location that has been

at

pre-selected together with the State. or

otherwise will be established at the time

of the emergency at a location identified

in conjunction with the State. A Federal

Radiological Monitoring and

Assessment Center (FRMIAC) will be

established by DoE, usually at a nearby

airport, in a similar manner. The CFA. if

any. iwill establish a local base of

operations. FEMA. the CFA. and DoE

ivill exchange liaison representatives to

ensure that activities at the various

centers are coordinated.

As a result of notification of d

radiological emergency. and after

discussions with the CFA. FEMA may

activate its headquarters Emergency

Support Team. As soon as an

Emergency Support Team is activated.

FFMA will begin its coordinating

activities. Prior to the arrival of the SF0

or Deputy SF0 (DSFO) at the scene.

FEMA will rely on the Cognizant

Federal Agency Official (CFAO). if at

the scene. as the point of contact

concerning Federal activities at the

scene.

If an agency decides to initiate its

response. that decision will be

communicated to FEMA and will

include: (1) The name and location of

the lkad agency official if one is

designated: (2) the telephone number at- which he/she can be contacted at

headquarters or at the scene: (3) if

appropriate, the primary official to

deploy to the scene and his/her

estimated time of arrival at the

emergency site: and (4) intended

location at the scene. Similarly. FEMA

will provide each Federal agency with

the same information when FEMA

designates its SF0. F}EMiA will keep

Federal agencies informed of the status

of Federal agencies' response actions.

flkrause of its singular responsibility

for Federal support on site. the CFA will

determine and implement an efficient

means for coordinating Federal support

on site with Federal response activities

off site.

a. Deployment of Emergency

Response Teams. Agency plans and

procedures describe response team

deployment and establishment of bases

of operations at the scene- Ideally, the

SF0 add staff. other Federal agency

response teams, and State agency

reapiesentatives would be co-located at

the scene. Accordingly. FEMA and CFA

site-specific emergency plans and

procu'dures should be de viloped

Attachment 1, IN 86-18 March 26, 1986 Federal Register / Vol. 50. No. 217 l Friday. November 8, 1985 / Notices

46547 individually to accommodate State

operations.

Some Federal agencies may

immediately deploy their teams to the

scene of the emergency to fulfill

statutory responsibilities. This plan is

not intended to restrict such activities:

however, when the SFO arrives at the

scene. the agencies that have already

responded will inform the SFO of the

offsite actions they have taken.

b. SFO Designation and Deploymenit.

Upon activation. FEMA may deploy an

Emergency Response Team (ERT)

headed by an SFO. The SFO. once at the

scene. will be supported by an

Emergrncy Support Team at FEMA

headquarters and the ERT. Prior to this

deployment. FEMA will inform the

.iffected State and the CFA of the

planned FEMA response. FEMA will

also notify the other agencies of its ERT'

deployment and activities.

UIpoza arrival at the scene. the SFO. or

the OSFO if the SFO so authorizes, will

establish dn offsite base of operations.

i.e.. the Federal Response Center, for

promoting coordination of the Federal

response. The Deputy SFO who leads

the regional component. is likely to

arrive at the scene prior to the arrival of

the headquarters component and mdy

have initial responsibility for

-stalbhshing and operating the FRC until

Jie SFO arrives.

The S170 will inform other Federal

.agendie, at the emergency scene of the

e'tbliishnient of the FRC and request

that they provide representation to it.

Mhe SFO %ill establish contact with the

CFA or responsible State agency to

deternmine the status of onstte response

efforts. As soon as the SFO or DSFO

arrives at the scene and contacts the

CFA. the SFO (or DSFOJ will serve as

the focal point for promoting the

coordination of the offsite Federal

riesponse with the onsite response. The

StW( and the CFAO will work together

diiectly and through their

represvrntatives at the scene to ensure

that each has an accurate understanding

Of the situation throughout the

vvilergency.

3 Reouavery and Response Deactivation

Ili ior to the deactivation of the

I'etderal response, the Federal

goiern ient may assist the State in

deve!oping its offsite recovery plan.

Rerovery planning will be initiated at

the request of the State but generally

after the cause of the emergency has

been brought under control and

immediate public health and safety and

property protective actions have been

dccoimplishiid. The SFO will coordinate

F-ederal assistance to the State in

rei 4)o ery planning

After the conditions on site have

stabilized and the offsite contamination

has been characterized and its extent -

determined. a CFA may or may not be

needed. The agency that performed the

CFA role may decide to deactivate its

position as a CFA and focus primarily

on the recovery effort on site. The CFA

will discuss this deactivation with the

SFO and determine a mutually

agreeable time to implement the

deactivation. However, the agency that

served as CFA will continue to be

available to provide required assistance

to the State. in coordination with FEMA.

Each agency will discontinue

response operations when advised by

the State that assistance is no longer

required or when its statutory

responsibilities or response roles have

been fulfilled. Prior to discontinuing its

response operation, each agency

iall

discuss its intent to do so with the CFA.

FFMA. and with DoE or EPA if that

agency is providing radiological support

tinder the FRMAP.

C. General Response Roles of Principal

Agencies and Officials

General Response roles are those that

I'are independent of the cause. type. or

location of the radiological emergency.

1. Role of the Cognizant Federal Agency

The CFA is the Federal agency that

owns. authorizes. regulates. or is

otherwise deemed responsible for the

facility or radiological activity causing

the emergency. and that has authority lo

take action on site. When it is necessary

for a Federal agency to assume the CFA

role. and to deploy to the site. the CPA

will manage all Federal actions onsite.

develop or evaluate offsite protective

~action and reentry recommendations.

and help to implement those actions if

requested by the State and if the CFA's

resources permit.

Consistent with this role. the CFA has

four general responsibilities:

Receive notification of the

emergency, initiate the CFA response.

and notify appropriate Federal. State.

and local agencies;

Manage Federal response actions

on site and coordinate these actions. as

necessary. with the SFO and monitoring

activities off site;

Assess owner or operator. State, or

locally recommended-protective action

measures and/or develop Federal

recommendations for protective action

and re-entry: help State and local

authorities as resources permit: and

Serve as the primary Federal source

for information of a technical nature

regarding the onsite emergency

conditions and the potential or actual

offsite rafdiiilogical effects.

Each of these responsibilities is

outlined in more detail below:

a. Receive Notification of the

Emergency. Initiate the CFA Response.

and Notify Appropriate Federal

Agencies. (1) Receive notification of the

emergency from the owner or operator

of the facility or radiological activity

causing the emergency, or from State or

local authorities, and determine the

significance of the emergency and the

appropriate CPA response to it.

(2) Notify FEMA and DoE of the

emergency: include in the notification

the CFA's activation mode and actions.

a general assessment of the emergency.

and any necessary background

information. Discuss with FEMA the

recommendations (PARs).'and other

protective measures and reentry

recommendations (RERs) 2f or the public

that may be developed by the owner or

operator, or State or locar authorities. In

providing such advice. the CFA will use, to the extent applicable. appropriate

advice and input from other Federal

agencies with technical expertise on

those matters. FEMA. upon rcquest. will

assist the CFA as required in developing

such advice.

Whenever possible. the CFA will

coordinate its presentation of the

Federal evaluation of PARs with FEMA

either prior to. or at the time of. their

presentation to the State or other offsite

authorities. When imminent penl

threatens the public health and safety.

the CFA will present the evaluation of

PARs directly to the State or other

offsite authorities without having to

coordinate with any other Federal -

agency. With regard to developing or

evaluating RERs. the CFA will keep

FEMA informed of their development or

evaluation and coordinate presentation

of such advice to the State with FEMA.

More specificalIly. the CFA's

responsibilities related to PAR and RER

development or evaluation. and

presentation are:

(1) Serve. as a point of contact for

State and local government technical

information and. as required. for

technical assistance requests.

(2) Provide staff liaison

representatives to State authorities and

d. Serve as the Primary Source for

Technical Information Regarding the

Emergency Conditions Onsite and the

Potential or Real Offsite Radiological

Effects. (1) Make an initial report to the

White Ilouse Situation Room covering, if

possible, the condition of the

radiological activity causing the

emergency and the actual or potential

offsite radiological impact. After the

initial report. prepare the section of

FEMA s report dealing with onsite

conditions and their actual or potential

impact off site.

(2) Review and concur in the release

of all Federally generated information

related to the onsite conditions and

remain informed of all information

related to offsite radiological effects.

Where possible, the CFA should review

Federally provided offsite radiological

data before release.

(3) Assist the State Public Information

Officer in developing coordinated public

information releases.

(4) Protect national security by

classifying sensitive technical

information in a nuclear weapon

accident or weapon-significant incident.

2. Role of the Federal Emergency

.Management Agency

IETMA's primary responsibilities in the

Fe deral response are to immediately

notify participating Federal agencies I of

the emergency and to serve as a focal

point for promoting the coordination of

the Federal response activities at the

national level and at the scene of the

emergency. The Director of FEMA will

designate and deploy the SFO for

coordinating Federal response activities

.at the scene of the emergency.

a. Emersency Stipport Team Role.

Through its Emergency Support Team at

headquarters. FEMA will:

(11 Notify participating agencies of the

emergency situation and supply

information they need to take

appropriate actions.

(2) Coordinate Federal response

.ativities at the national level.

(3) Receive uLformation at the

Emergency Infoinialion and

Coordination Center (EICC) front the

CFA headquarters or from other public

and private organizations about the

impact of the emergency and the

organizations' response.

(5) Provide staff support and other

resources to the SFO as required.

b. Emergency Response Team Roke.

At the scene of the Emergency. the

FEMA response is carried out through

its Emergency Response Teom. headed

by the SFO. The SF0 coordinates

Federal activities with State offsite

activities and promotes the coordination

of Federal actions. information. and

recommendations. Free interaction

among Federal. State. and local agencies

is encouraged. The SFO can factlttate

information flow among all response

elements and help direct Federal

resources to the appropriate State and

local government agencies. The SFO will

not intervene in the relationships and

communication channels that already

exist between Federal and State

agencies: rather. the SFO provides an

additional means for facilitating

Federal-State interactions.

Through the SFO. FEMA carries out

three major responsibilities:

v Promote coordination among

Federal agencies and their interactions

with the State. including, in conjunction

with the CFA. the provision of Federally

developed or evaluated PARs and RERs

to the State or other appropriate offsite

authorities responsible for implementing

those recommendations.

Coordinate offisitc nctivities with

onsite response activities of Federal or

State agencies: and

Ser e as an information source on

the status of the overall Federal

response effort. (The public information

function is described in Section It D.J

Each of these responsibilities is

outlined below:

(a) Promote Coordination Among

FederaolAgencies and Their Interactions

With the State. (1) Promote coordination

of the provision of offsite assistance to

This section describes the

responsibilities for Federal agency

public information and Congressional

relations that will be implemented under

this plan. Provision of accurate.

consistent. well coordinaled information

to the public and to the Congress is

recounizzed to be of utmost importance.

1. Cenei al Public Information

Responsibilities

Ihe major roles and responsibilities

for public information release during a

radiological emergency are as follows:

a. Facillty or Radiologicol Activity

Ow'ners or Operators are responsible for

information organizations described in

the remainder of this section.

C. FEMA. through the SF0's P10, will

work with the CFAO's PlO to promote

coordination among all Federal agencies

regarding public information generated

by them and to promote the

coordination of press release with the

State. Coordination does not mean that

the Idnguage of all releases must be

approved by the SFO and CFAO PlOs.

hut rather that the information content

is to be reviewed by them prior to

release to ensure its consistency with

the total information available. In cases

%lhen the public health and safety are in

imminent peril. the CFAO's PIO may

review and release public information

independently. The SFO's P10 will

ansume responsibility from the CFAO's

1'10 at a mutually agreeable time when

recovery efforts are initiated by the

State or other appropriate offsite

authority. When no Federal agency

assumes the CFA role. the SFO's PIO

will coordinate Federally generated

public information.

2. Coordinated Release of Public

Information at the Scene of the

Emergency

Upon arrival at the emergency scene.

the CFAO's PlO or. if none. the SFO's

PIO. will ensure the establishment of

Federal public information operations at

the joint Information Center (JIC) in

cooperation with the owner or

operator's pre-established information

center. or separately. if necessary. Most

nuclear power plant owners or

operators have designated JIC locations

and have made arrangements to

establish and operate these centers in

an emergency. The JIC at the scene of

the emergency will provide the public

and the media with adequate. accurate.

and timely public information regarding

a radiological emergency. Efforts will be

made to colocate all Federal. State. local

and owner or operator public

information officials in the JIC.

However. if space limitations at a

nuclear power plant's designated

information center preclude its use as a

l1C and/or if the State designates

another location for its public

information activities, special efforts

will be necessary to maintain close

coordination between the Federal JiC

and these other press centers. If the

Federal PlOs and the State PiOs cannot

co-locale at the JIC. FEMA will notify

the State when and where the Federal

JIC has been established.

Whenever practical. the establishment

of Federal operations at the JIC will be

undertaken by the CFA in coordination

with FEMA. other appropriate Federal

agencies. and State and local

authorities. If FEMA's PlO or any other

participating agency's PIO arrives at the

scene of the emergency before the

CFAO. the FEMA P10 or another

agency's PLO may establish and manage

Federal operations at the JIC until the

CFAO arrives. Upon arrival. the CFAO

or his/her P10 shall assume primary

responsibility for Federal operations at

the )IC. If there is no CFAO for the

emergency. the SFO's PIO shall assume

primary responsibility for Federal

operations at the JIC. When there Is a

CFAO. the SFO's PIO will assume

responsibility for coordinating Federal

public information at the JIC from the

CFAO's PIO at a mutually agreeable

time. FEMA PlOs at the scene will

provide support to the CFA during the

period that the CFA has Federal

operational responsibility for the IfC.

FEMA's support will include

coordinating public information

activities of other Federal. Stale. or

volunteer agencies at the scene but not

located at the JIC with which FEMA has

a pre-established relationship.

3. Coordinated Release of Public

Information at the Headquarters Level

For some emergency situations it may

be necessary to release public

information prior to the establishment of

Federal operations at the JIC. When this

is the case. Federal agencies must

coordinate the release of public

information through their headquarters

with the CFA headquarters PIO. The

CFA headquarters PIO serves as the

single point of contact at the national

headquarters level for all Federal

agency PlOs as well as for the media.

The CFA headquarters P10. in

conjunction with FEMA headquarters.

will establish procedures for

coordinating the release of Federal

public information with the State prior

to release to the media. If no Federal

agency assumes the CFA role for the

emergency, then the FEMA

headquarters PIO will coordinate

Federal public information as described

above.

Prior to the establishment of Federal

operations at the IIC. Federal agencies

will coordinate releases of public

information both at the regional level

and near the site of the emergency

through their Washington. D.C.

headquarters offices.

The agency headquarters points of

contact for public information will

continue to operate throughout the

emergency. but once the 1IC is

established all Wdshington-based

information must be coordinated

through the JIC prior to release. The

Washington centers may. however.

handle overflow news media inquirics

and serve as a platform for carefully

selected. Washington-based specialists

to supply background information. as

required.

4. Coordinated Release of Information to"

Congress

Responses to Congressional requests

for information will be coordinated

among the Federal agencies whenever

possible. The CFA Congressional

Liaison Officer (CLO) at the

headquarters Congressional Affairs

Office will provide a single point of

contact for all Federal agency

headquarters CLOs and Congressional

staffs seeking site-specific emergency

information. As time and circumstances

permit. all agency CLOs will either

channel Congressional requests to this

single point of contact. or coordinate

their intended responses with it.

If no Federal agency assumes the CFA

role for the emergency. the FEMiA

headquarters CLO will coordinate

Congressional information as described

above.

A FEMA CLO will be the point of

contact at the scene of the emergency

for all Federal agency CLOs and

Congressional staff seeking information

regarding the emergency and actions

being taken to assist offsite authorities.

The FEMA CLO will keep in frequent

contact with the CFA CLO. if any. who

will continue to be the primary point of

contact in the Washington. D.C. area.

The FEMA CLO will provide

appropriate information to Members of

Congress and/or their field staffs with

assistance as necessary from the CFA

and other Federal agencies. This formal

procedure does not preclude

communication and information

exchange between Congressional

representatives and Federal agencies.

However. Federal responses will be

coordinated among Federal agencies in

the manner described above. The CFA

CLO and the FEMA CLO will coordinate

with each other on the information

provided to the Congress as well as on

information being provided to the public

through operations at the JIC.

E. Internotional Response Coordination

Although the geographic scope of the

FRERP is limited to the United States. its

territories. possessions. and territorial

waters. it is recognized that radiological

emergencies occurring near

international borders (i.e.. near Canada

and Mexico) could require international

cooperative response efforts.

Therefore. the CFA and FEMA. in

consultation with the Department of

State and other Federal agencies as

appropriate. should coordinate and

a State request, the State will be notified

by DoE. Requests from private entities

will be referred to the State before any

there will not be a duplication of effort.

9. Agencies carrying out statutory

responsibilities related to radiological

monitoring and ^ssessment during a

provided for by other agreements.

F.. Orgonization

1. General Principles

The FRMAP addresses the

coordination of the participating

agencies' support of offslte monitoring

and assessment efforts. Tle

organization of the FRMAP emergency

response and the roles of some agencies

tinder FRMAP will depend on the

specific emergency. but will follow the

principles outlined in the Federal

Radiological Emergency Response Plan.

Information generated from the FRMAP

response is provided to the CFA and to

the appropriite State aithonties.

2. Involvement of Non-Participating

Agencies

I

In some cases. other Federal agencies

may become involved with FRMAP

activities. The State Department would

be involved if an incident occurring

within the United Slates or its territories

affected areas outside United States

territory or if monitoring efforts needed

to be coordinated across an

international border. The Federal

Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would

have the principal role in the

investigation of all emergencies where

terrorism or deliberate release of

radioactive materials is suspected. or in

cases of threats against nuclear facilities

or materials. The major FBI interfaces.

however, are expected to be with the

CFA and FEMA. Even when the FBI is

involved. DoE/EPA will coordinate

monitoring functions with their State

counterparts.

3. Coordination of a Limited Response

The FRMAP recognizes that the

appropriate response to a request for

Federal radiological assistance may

take many forms. ranging from advice

given by telephone to a large Federal

monitoring and assessment operation at

the scene of a serious emergency. Most

of the following guidelines for

participating agencies are designed for

the latter situation. but the FRMAP is

also applicable to lesser incidents where

a limited response. possibly by DoE

alone. is sufficient.

F. Responsibilities of Participating

Agencies

1. Responsibilities During Emergencies

Cognizant Federal Agency.-The CFA's

primary emergency response

responsibilities are stated in the

previous chapter at C.I. The CFA will

also contribute to the FRMAP as

follows:

a. Ensure that DoE. Federal. State. and

local officials are notified quickly of a

radiological emergency:

b. Provide pertinent onsite technical

and radiological data to the DoE or EPA

Offsite Technical Director (OSTD) and

State and local officials. and

c. Utilize FRMAP data. as appropriate.

personnel is available through FEMA

(under 44 CFR Part 351). using the

technical expertise and resources of

other FRMAP agencies.

Exercises of the FRMAP aspect of the

I'RFRP are encouraged among Federal.

State. and local agencies. Exercises may

occur independently or in conjunction

with other exercises. such as State/

facility emergency plan exercises or

exercises of the FRERP. Each agency

should coordinate its training programs

.ind exercises through the Federal

Radiological Preparedness Coordinating

Committee (FRPCC) Subcommittee on

Training and Exercises to avoid

duplication and to make its training

availablle to other agencies. Each agency

is encouraged to furnish training

materials and training assistance, as its

xesources permit. when requested to do

so by other agencies.

G. Types of Emcrgencies

Three types of emergencies have been

previously described in the FRERP. Each

type of emergency may present different

types of response problems.

Fixed nuclear facilities, including

nuclear power reactors. have the

advantages of known locations and

existing site-specific emergency plans.

Classifications of incident severity have

been development for many of these

facilities, and the level of FRMAP

response may be guided by these

classifications. The NRC has adopted

four classifications for incidents at

commercial nuclear power plants:

Notification of Unusual Event: Alert:

Site Area Emergency: and General

Emergency. DoD and DoE have chosen

the same foumr classifications for their

nuclear facilities. although the type of

possible incident would depend on the

type of facility. In general. for facilities

U'sing these classifications. offsite

monitoring and assessment activities

would be expectPd only during a Site

Area Emeigencv or a General

Emergency. Substantial offsite

radiological problems vould be

c\\pecti-d only during or following a

Genprai Emergency condition.

Mobilization and activation could occtir

tinder aln Alert if degradation of the

level of safety at the facility or other

conditions (public concern, unfavorable

weather. lack of resources) warrant such

action.

Response to transportation acuidents

is more difficult to plan. as such

accidents may occur anvwhere. may

involve a variety of radioactive

nimtrin;ls. and miay represent much less

of a radiological hazard or serious threat

to the public. In most cases. State

resources or a limited Federal response

will suffice.

IS. Operating Procedures

1. Notification and Activation

Notification of DoE and other

participating agencies may occur

through an alert to a possible problem or

a request for radiological assistance.

DoE will maintain national and regional

coordination offices as points of access

to Federal radiological emergency

assistance and response. Requests for

Federal radiological assistance will

generally be directed to the appropriate

DoE Radiological Assistance Regional

Coordinating Office. An exception to

this is a request from the DoD. which

will be made through the DoD-DoE joint

Nuclear Accident Coordinating Center

(JNACCJ at Kirtland AFIB in

Albuquerque, New Mexico. Requests

might also go directly to DoE's

Emergency Operating Center (EOC) in

Germantown. Maryland.

Requests for radiological assistance

may come from other Federal agencies.

State or local governments, licensees for

radioactive materials. industries. or the

general public. Requests from the

general public will be referred to the

State before any decision on response is

made to ensure there will not be a

duplication of effort. Although

activation of a response under the

FRMAP can occur at the request of other

agencies. authorities. and coordinating

centers. a State request for assistance

will be obtained before major offsite

operations begin.

The DoE regional office may respond

by dispatching a Radiological

Assistance Program (RAP) team. by

requesting assistance from a regional

office of another participating agency. or

by referring the request to an

appropriate State agency that can

provide prompt assistance. The State

will be notified when a RAP team is

being sent. In addition. the DoE regional

office will notify the Director of DoE's

Emergency Action and Coordination

Team (EACI) through the Emergency

Operating Center (EOC) when the DoE

regional office needs assistance or has

responded to a request for assistance.

EACT may choose to alert or activate

major DoE response resources. If the

initial request comes directly to the

tOC. its staff will alert or dispatch a

RAP team from the appropnate regional

office.

The DoE EOC will notify. as

necessary. DoC/NOAA. DoD. Dol. EPA.

accordance with agreed-upon FRMAP

notification procedures. to request their

assistance if significant Federal

involvement may be required. DoE in its

role as coordinator. may choose to

contact, or may be contacted by. any of

the participating agencies, but unless

DoE is also the CFA. DoE will not be the

primary source of general information

aiout the incident.

Notification of FRMtAP agencies may

be delayed or omitted if necessary to

avoid interfering with investigations of

threats against nuclear facilities or

ma.terials. In some cases. notification

may be made. hut information not

critical to the monitoring and

assessment activities can be restricted

br an ongoing criminal investigation.

Rctrictions on classificd information

m..y dlso prevent total disclosure to

other participdting agencies.

Agencies responding under FRMAP

-,ill usisally arrive in stages. with

.advance teams preced;ng more fully

equipped tcams. Agencies will

anticipate State needs to the maximum

extent possible and respond as quickly

as practical. However, it should be

reLognized that the logistics of any

major response operation make the

expectation of an inimediate response to

.11 State requests unrealistic.

2. Coordination at the Emergency Scene

t)-,Es Emergency Action and

Coordination Team (PACT) at

heddquldrters will designate an initial

Off Site Technical Diiector (OSTD) fo'r

.aiy emergency requiring more than a

limited Federal response. The OSTD

ensures that the DoE responsibilitv for

Louirdinating offsute monmtoring and

assessment is met. Upon arrival at the

st ene of the emergency. the OSTD will

cont.ict the State or local agency

responsible for radiological monitoring.

and the senior officials of the CFA.

FEMA. and EPA present at the

emergcncy scene.

The person designated is OS'D may

s.,rV as the nature and degree of

rebponse change. For example. the

OS1D will generally be the RAP team

captlain during the eady response. As

aIdditiondl resources or addilional RAP

teinis arnve, EACT may designate a

higher-level official fronm a regional

office of an official from DoE

headquarters as OSTID. DoE will notif(

.he appropriate participating agencies

%%

hen these designations are made. In

emergencies where DoE is also the CFA

or has onsite responsibilities by

agreement. the (STl

will coordinate

'hle FRNIAP actzities. reporting to the

(1 AO through the designated floE Te.imn

I * .i. r (1 he luE l Team Leader is the

UoE official who coordinates the total

DoE response.)

The OSTD is responsible for

establishing a Federal Radiological

Monitoring and Assessment Center

(FRMAC) to be used as a coordination

center for Federal monitoring efforts.

This center need not be located near the

emergency si:e or the Federal Response

Center (FRC) as long dS its actions can

be coordinated with those centers. In

some instances. the FRNtAC location

mav have already been determined and

included as part of a Federal agency.

Slate, or local emergency plan. When

the FRMAC location has not been

previously determined. a location wil;

lie selected after conferring with the

State. The location of the FRhtAC will

be reported to the CFA. FF£MA dnd

Sta.te offikials at the scene. and DoE

hcadquarters will inform the

headquarters of other appropriate

p.mrticipating agencies. When the £'RC

and FEMA and not louited together. the

OS1'

will designate a liaison to the

FRC and FEMA will designate a liaison

to the FRMAC to facilitate coordination

between centers. Representatives of all

agencies participating in the FRMAP

response should be present in the

FRMAC. if possible.

The DoE OSTD will work closely with

the EPA Radiological Response

Coordinator to facilitate a smooth

transition of the coordination

responsibility to EPA at a mutually

dgrceable time and after consultation

with the State. It is difficult to specify in

ddvauice when this transfer could occur.

but it would generally be expected to

Like place after the immediate

eme-rgency situation is stabilized. offsite

releases of radioactive material ha% e

(eased. and the offsite radiological

conditions have been documented and

their consequences have been assessed.

In the case of an accident at a nuc(lear

power plant, for instance, the transfer of

responsibility might take place at a

mutually agreeable tinie after NRC has

determined the plant to be in stable

Londition.

After this transfer. a perion

Ieign.ted by EPA's Office of Radiation

Response Plan Summary

1. Summary of Response Mission

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) regulates the use of

byproduct. source. and special nuclear

material, including activities at

commercial and research nuclear

facilities. If an incident involving NRC-

regulated activities poses a significant

threat to the public health or safety or

environmental quality, the NRC would

be the Cognizant Federal Agency (CFAj).

In such an incident, the NRC is

responsible for monitoring the licensee

to ensure that appropriate protective

action recommendations are being made

to offsite authorities in a timely manner.

In addition, the NRC will support its

licensees and offsite authorities.

including confirming the licensee's

recommendations to offsite authorities, and will keep the media informed of the

NRC's knowledge of the status of the

incident. The NRC is also responsible

for the development. coordination. and

presentation (in conjunction with

FEMA) of Federal protective action

recommendations and for keeping other

Federal agencies and entities informed

of the status of the incident

Consistent with NRCs agreement to

participate in FRMAP. the NRC may

also be called upon to assist in Federal

radiological monitoring and assessment

activities during incidents for which it is

not the CFA.
