Energy Research and Development Administration radiological assistance plan. [Accidents involving nuclear weapons, radioactive materials, and nonnuclear explosives]
The purpose of this Plan is to implement the policy and objectives of the Emergency Preparedness Program set forth in ERDA Manual Chapter 0601. Therefore, this Plan sets forth the organization responsibilities, policies, and guidelines for ERDA Headquarters and field office radiological assistance operations including coordination of ERDA and Department of Defense (DOD) capabilities for responding to nuclear weapons and nonnuclear weapons related radiological incidents; and ERDA coordination with nonmilitary Federal agencies, state and local government agencies, private industry, and other nongovernmental organizations. The Plan covers the use of ERDA and other available radiological assistance response capabilities to cope with incidents involving radioactive materials including incidents involving nuclear weapons or peaceful nuclear explosives. Responses are made to incidents occuring in ERDA or ERDA contractor operations, licensed operations, operations of other Federal agencies, operations of state or local government agencies, and in the activities of private users or handlers of radioactive materials.
