LLNL Emergency Management Plan(EPlan) Rev 26 January 2021 • Aerial Monitoring System • Nuclear Weapons Accident Response Group • National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center • Joint Technical Operations Team • Radiological Assistance Program • Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site The LLNL ED initiates the request for support of DOE/NNSA assets depending upon the nature and severity of the event. DOE/NNSA HQ Operations Center Watch Office approves these requests. Depending on the severity of an event at LLNL, DOE/NNSA HQ may activate their Consolidated Emergency Operations Center. A technical support center, located in the DOE Germantown, Maryland facility, can support the Operations Center. Both of these facilities can communicate via telephone, the Emergency Communications Network, facsimile, and video conferencing. The 24-hour notification point-of-contact is the DOE/NNSA HQ Operations Center Watch Office,which is collocated with the Consolidated Emergency Operations Center. During an Operational Emergency, LLNL makes notifications to the Operations Center Watch Office. 3.2 Other Federal Agencies The FBI maintains primary jurisdiction under the Atomic Energy Act for incidents involving the protection of special nuclear material and any crime involving Federal property. In an emergency situation involving security incidents, the FBI may be notified by the Security Organization (after consultation with NNSA/LFO) and be provided workspace in the EOC or the TOC, as necessary. The FBI has the authority to assume command from the LLNL ED during a situation involving a security threat. Under these circumstances, the ED is responsible for ensuring that the LLNL ERO implements FBI orders. The Fire Department IC retains non-security command and control at the scene. 3.3 Tribal Organizations There are no tribal organizations with emergency response or regulatory control responsibilities relevant to LLNL. 49
