hould be provided to local law enforcement agencies personnel. Sufficient dosimetry should be staged and available for initial arriving offsite response personnel. This dosimetry should be staged in a location at least 100 yards from target areas. The appropriate number of dosimetry is expected to be performance-based. An estimate should be made of the number of responders expected onsite during the initial stages of a LOLA event that do not normally carry dosimetry with them. There should be enough dosimetry provided for those individuals. It is expected that licensees could acquire/relocate additional dosimetry for longer-term arriving assets. The plans and strategies for controlling emergency response vehicles and dosimetry for responders 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 guidelines by the licensee. 12. Communications Equipment The reviewer should verify that the applicant describes the communications equipment used for firefighting and operational recovery. For firefighting communications, the focus is on radios for firefighting response. The issue of interoperability2 of radios should be addressed by either pairing site personnel holding site radios with offsite responders or having radios that are interoperable by nature. The appropriate number of radios should be performance-based, predicated on an evaluation of the number of radios needed to support firefighting responders expected to be involved during a LOLA event and the method they use to distribute these radios. That number of radios (with associated batteries and chargers) should be provided in a location at least 100 yards from target areas. 2 Interoperability – Ability for 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
