l We use informtion related to incidents involving radioactive material 1 or facilities utilizing radioactive material (except military applications).

3. What NRC informamn does your agency need or desire for future use? .

We require notification of international events involving foreign reactors or radiological materials. The recent International Nuclear Exercise 2 conducted on November 7, 1996, highlighted the fact that the USNRC is not on the NRC's call list for such incidents.

4. Any specific " triggers" for your agency's notification?

None. We would want to be informed of all events involving radioactive material or involving facilities utilizing radioactive material (except military applications).

We want the information "immediately" by voice.

This is not applicable since we require voice communication. In addition, the hardware and software of our Operations Center is part of an independent network such that computer interface is not possible.

9. Is there any data which are currently included in NRC reports which you do not utilize?

No.

10. Additional information: Any additional information (not covered above) the NRC can provide which would benefit the operation of your agency and/or the environmental response mechanism.
