PURPOSE
[ ]
1.1 This procedure describes the sequence of events and requirements for the activation of the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) in the event of an ALERT or higher classification.
[ ] 1.2 The topics addressed are:
[
1.2.1 Functions of the EOF and its interface with both on-site and off-site emergency organizations.
[ ]
1.2.2 Activation criteria, including a roster of personnel and their associated responsibilities.
- 2.
PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
[ ] 2.1 Upon activation of the EOF, ensure access is restricted to personnel assigned to this facility.
[ ] 2.2 If Area Radiation Monitor or Continuous Air Monitor alarms, an area habitability survey should be conducted.
[ ]2.3 In the event-the EOF becomes uninhabitable (radiological, environmental, or other cause) or it cannot be powered from the 12.5 kV or EOFDG, EOF personnel will be evacuated to and activate the Alternate EOF (AEOF).
[ ] 2.4 If the emergency is security-related, armed Security personnel may not be available to perform functions described in this procedure. Other personnel should be assigned to perform these functions.©
[ ] 2.5 The EOF shall be activated within - 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of declaration of an ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, or GENERAL EMERGENCY declaration.
