Table 2: Coordinating Agency-Specific Key Responsibilities for a Nuclear/Radiological Incident
Date:
06/01/2008
Document:
The owner/operator of a nuclear/radiological facility or materials (e.g., DOE, DOD, or NRC licensee) primarily is responsible for mitigating the consequences of an incident; providing notification and appropriate protective action recommendations to State, local, and/or tribal government officials; and minimizing the radiological hazard to the public. For incidents involving fixed facilities, the owner/operator has primary responsibility for actions within the facility boundary and may also have responsibilities for response and recovery activities outside the facility boundary under applicable legal obligations (e.g., contractual; licensee; CERCLA). For areas surrounding a nuclear/radiological incident location, State, tribal, and local governments have primary responsibility for protecting life, property, and the environment. This does not, however, relieve nuclear/radiological facility or material owners/operators from applicable legal obligations.
