licensee. 4. Staging of Fire Brigade Equipment The reviewer should verify that appropriate fire brigade equipment (i.e., enough turnout gear, self-contained breathing apparatus, and radios to equip a typical five person fire brigade) will be staged in a location at least 100 yards from the target areas. If a distance of 100 yards is not achievable, a lesser distance is acceptable if that location is hardened, if there is an intervening structure, or if equipment is stored at a number of diverse locations at the site providing sufficient assurance that equipment would be available to support fire brigade response. Strategies described in the application should be consistent with guidance in Appendix D of NEI 06-12, Revision 3, and should subsequently be implemented in the site guidelines by the licensee. 19.4-6 Revision 0 – June 2015 5. Dispersal of Personnel The reviewer should verify that the applicant has provided a description of the pre-planned positioning of personnel if advance warning is given. For aircraft imminent threat, personnel are to be evacuated from target buildings. (For a ground threat, sheltering personnel may be a more viable strategy and is not intended to be addressed by these items.) Personnel need to be warned to move rapidly from most likely target buildings to buildings less likely to be targeted. Generically, sheltering in place is not an acceptable solution. If a safe shelter area in a target building can be justified, then sheltering in place may be an appropriate action if evacuation from target buildings is not feasible. Some licensees at facilities currently operating have committed to “maximizing survivability” by dispersing operations and fire brigade members to locations that are sufficiently distant from each other (e.g., opposite ends of the turbine building or opposite sides of the containment structure), but still located in target buildings. This approach is acceptable provided that dispersing personnel outside of the
