NIMS/ICS under a HAB scenario FEMA issue as it regards to ORO exercise activities
– OROs already use the NIMS/ICS model in their response activities as we have seen in their plans
There has been discussion regarding how can FEMA/NRC require the licensee to use NIMS/ICS in their response plans
The interface between the licensee and the ORO would be improved by requiring the licensee to adopt NIMS/ICS
