Activation of radiation response assets. A state or lead federal agency may request DOE Headquarters to respond to a radiologic incident. A decision to respond will be made in consultation with the Nevada Site Office and the NNSA Regional Office. During the emergency phase of a response, FRMAC assets are activated. During phase 1 of the emergency phase, on-site help is expected within approximately 4–8 hours. FRMAC should be activated within 24–36 hours, and operational approximately 24 hours thereafter. The EPA is involved in the recovery phase of the response.
