Hurricane Irma Lessons-Learned

NRC queries regarding electric power grid stability concerns, which may need to be confirmed to support a Commission decision on granting enforcement discretion to allow a reactor to restart or to preclude a shutdown following a severe national disaster (i.e., hurricane), should be directed to the DOE Watch Office.Upon receiving a call, the DOE Watch Office will transfer the call to either the DOE Unified Coordination Group (UCG), which would be stood up to monitor

a severe natural disaster, or to Infrastructure Security & Energy Restoration (ISER) Division / Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security and Emergency Response (CESER). The UCG would be the Federal point of contact to interface with the Energy Sector Coordinating Council (industry).
