Emergency Plans for Radioactive Release

When it is deemed that an emergency plan is necessary because of the radioactive material that is located within a facility, the plan needs to include an extensive list of information.

The information should include a brief description of the licensee’s facility and the area near the site, identification of each type of possible radioactive material, a classification system for identifying an accident as an alert or emergency, the means of detecting each type of accident, the means and equipment needed to mitigate the consequences of the accident, and a brief description of the responsibilities of the licensee’s personnel should an accident occur.
