N/A

f. . Do any ports currently exist for the ERDS linkup?

Yes

1. If not,is it possible to add additional ports?

4. Data Feeder Physical Environment and Management

a. Where is the data feeder located in terms of the TSC, EOF, and control room?

The data feeder is located in the Emergency Response Facility Computer Room. The ERF also houses both the TSC and EOF. .

Proximity to the Control Room is less than 2000 feet,

b. Is the data feeder protected from loss of supply of electricity?

[-

Yes, the ERF Computer Room power source is via a U.P.S. System.

! c. Is there a human operator for this data feeder?
