Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES





Areas Around Nuclear Facilities

Should Be Better Prepared

For Radiological Emergencies




GAO visited 1 1 nuclear facilities and sent
questionnaires to the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico to find out how well prepared nuclear
activities and the areas around them are for a
radiological emergency.

Most of the facilities seemed prepared to re-
spond to nuclear releases within their bound-
aries but some questions arose as to whether
the public would be adequately protected
should a release extend outside facility
boundaries.

This report makes recommendations to the
Departments of Defense and Energy, the Nu-
clear Regulatory Commission, and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to increase
preparedness for a nuclear accident.
