What happens if the emergency occurs at night when the DNS and IEMA offices are not open?
A. DNS maintains a telecommunications center that is operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The on-duty telecommunicator maintains contact with the DNS Radiological Duty Officer who will assess the reported hazard, provide advice and verbal assistance, and, if appropriate, dispatch a response team to the scene. The DNS telecommunicator also monitors a variety of computer screens that reflect the current status of numerous safety systems in and around the nuclear power stations and follow prescribed notification procedures should any anomalies occur.
