National Response Plan described

Describe the National Response Plan and the National Incident Management System. 

In 1996, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was assigned the role of integrating the resources of the federal government with those of local and state authorities and the airlines to meet the needs of aviation disaster victims and their families. As a result, the Federal Family Assistance Plan for Aviation Disasters was developed and implemented. This plan describes the airline and federal responsibilities in response to an aviation crash involving a significant number of passenger fatalities or injuries (NTSB, 2006, 2007). 

This chapter describes the Implementation of the radiation-protection program at the Sandia National Laboratories/New Mexico (SNL/NM) Technical Area V (TA-V) Hot Cell Facility (HCF) under normal or anticipated abnormal operating conditions. Information is included about the HCF facility and equipment design and the planning, procedures, techniques, and practices employed to meet the standards for radiation exposure and protection. A summary of the predicted annual exposures to facility workers (local and collocated) from radiation sources during normal operations is presented. In addition, this chapter describes the responsibilities of specific radiation-protection organizations at SNL/NM.
