Savannah River Plant emergency response capability
This paper describes the Emergency Response Program at SRP, concentrating on the performance of the program for consequence assessment. Although the division between technical support and decision making is logical and appropriate for this paper, communications between technical personnel, site management, and governmental agencies are also vital. The ability to respond promptly and reliably to inadvertent releases of hazardous pollutants to the environment is vital for the safe operation of most industrial plants. Programs for taking meteorological observations at sites that may have the potential to pose a threat to the public are common. However, well coordinated programs, which integrate observations and computer predictions to provide relevant, reliable and timely information to decision makers, are less common. The Savannah River Plant (SRP) has developed a program that strives to achieve this goal by emphasizing an holistic approach to emergency response. 3 refs.
