A change in the designation of a replacement offsite medical facility would generally not require prior NRC approval provided that the new facility has equivalent capabilities and is accessible within a timeframe consistent with the urgency of emergency medical treatment (the licensee’s 10 CFR 50.54(q) evaluation must document the basis of this equivalency conclusion). 4.13 10 CFR 50.47(b)(13)—Recovery and Reentry Planning a.
