The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 50, Appendix E - Emergency Plans for Production and Utilization Facilities - recommends that production and utilization facilities prepare emergency plans. In addition, Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guides 1.70 and 1.101 provide guidance for the development of Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERP's) at both the Construction Permit stage and the Operating License stage. This paper addresses the basic concepts of RERP and specifically discusses those RERP's which plan for incidents assumed to have both on-site and off-site consequences. It also provides insights into what has transpired at public hearings, emphasizing the importance of a coordinated effort between the facility and government agencies at all levels. In addition, it gives specific attention to the key elements that comprise an RERP and suggests some planning aids that have been developed to assist in the formulation of effective and efficient response plans. Many of the direct and indirect benefits of a well-developed Radiological Emergency Response Plan are also identified.
