b. The EOC must be habitable following an emergency (e.g.,

________________

11.c.(10)(b);

shielded, ventilated) or an alternate EOC should be available

EMG-FE D.1.a

if the primary EOC becomes uninhabitable. To be

considered habitable, the EOC should be designed to remain

operational and life-supporting for an extended period of

time under accident conditions, including (as needed):

(1) Breathable atmosphere. The ventilation system should

provide filtration and positive pressure to prevent intake

of contaminants. Equipment should be available to

confirm that the atmosphere remains uncontaminated.

(2) Shielding from radiation.

(3) Backup emergency power.

c. The EOC should have the following:

________________

D.1.b,c

(1) Controlled access.

(2) Current reference materials such as emergency plans

and procedures, safety analyses, etc.

EMG-FE D.1.d

d. If the EOC is a dual-use facility, the plan or procedures

________________

should provide for rapid conversion for EOC use.

EMG-FE D.2

e. If an alternate EOC (AEOC) is designated, the plan should

________________

include:

(1) Its location. It should be located so as to minimize the

possibility that both the EOC and the AEOC would be

rendered uninhabitable by the same event. (E.g. outside

the EPZ, or opposite to the EOC with respect to hazard

sources.)
