by non-DOE entities.

15.4.2

Assessment Actions

This section summarizes the processes by which the onset of an operational

emergency is recognized. The methodology used to obtain meteorological

information and est imate release rates and source terms needs to be identified.

If computer models are used for consequence assessment, identify the specific

models used and the plume methodologies employed (e.g., Gaussian plume).

15.4.3

Notification

This section summarizes the provisions for prompt initial notification of

emergency response personnel and response organizations, including

appropriate DOE elements and other federal, state, tribal, and local

organizations. Summarize the follow-up notification processes, and how

emergency public information is integrated into the emergency management

program.

15.4.4

Emergency Facilities and Equipment

This section summarizes pertinent aspects of emergency facilities (i.e.,

location, function) and equipment (i.e., communication capabilities, hazardous

material detection instrument ranges and types, dosimetry) required to support

the facility emergency responses.

15.4.5

Protective Actions

This section summarizes the protective actions that are required to minimize

the exposure of workers and the public. Discussions should include provisions

made for medical support and decontamination. Important elements of

population evacuations should be summarized including evacuation times,

routes, methods of alerting.

15.4.6

Training and Exercises

This section summarizes the emergency training program, including initial and

annual retraining for all facility emergency response personnel. Include a

summary of the drills and exercises that are an integral part of the emergency

management program. The summary should address the range of different

populations exposed to facility hazards (e.g., public, general facility

population, and facility visitors). Reference, as appropriate, Chapter 12,

"Procedures and Training" if that chapter presents req uested information.

15.4.7

Recovery and Reentry

This section summarizes the provisions for the recovery from an operational

emergency and planned reentry provisions for the affected facility. Indicate

the recovery organization and how the facility will transition from the

emergency response organization to the recovery organization.
