or emergency responders from different organizations to communicate with each other by radio, e.g., onsite fire brigade can communicate with offsite fire department or with the offsite law enforcement organization. 19.4-9 Revision 0 – June 2015 For operational recovery, the focus is on radios used for operational recovery of the plant (similar to those that are used in the Operations Support Center (OSC)). The appropriate number of radios should be performance-based, predicated on an evaluation of the number of radios needed to support operational recovery teams (such as those that would normally operate from the OSC) expected to be involved during a LOLA event. That number of radios (with associated batteries and chargers) should be provided in a location at least 100 yards from target areas. A communications scheme, using multiple radio channels, should be established to minimize crosstalk and confusion during an event. Radios used for firefighting and operational recovery should not be the same radios. They may be stored in the same location; however, these radios may all need to be in service simultaneously and cannot be shared. Credit should be given to mitigation strategies that provide for augmentation of radios from offsite resources. The plans and strategies for providing communication equipment should be described in the application in a manner consistent with guidance in Appendix D of NEI 06-12, Revision 3 and subsequently implemented in the site procedures by the licensee. 13. Mass Casualties The reviewer should verify that the applicant has described the procedures for handling a mass casualty situation. The procedures for a mass casualty situation should be addressed in site guidelines. It is important to pre-plan for an event of mass casualties (an event beyond the typical contaminated injured individual medical emergency). Use of county or state mass casualty plans is acceptable, as long as the site plans reference the framework of those offsite
