ORNL’s annual Laboratory-wide Facility Evacuation Exercise is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 10. The exercise will begin with the sounding of the Standard Alert Tone, followed by voice instructions by the Laboratory Shift Superintendent (LSS) over the public address, Wide Area Radio System (WARS), and desktop alert system. The exercise will last for approximately 15 minutes. An announcement will be made over the public address and WARS by the LSS when the exercise has concluded. UCOR personnel should become familiar with facility Emergency Manual/Emergency Action Plan for actions to be taken during an evacuation.
UCOR’s deactivation/decommissioning and high hazard activities are exempt from this exercise. All other UCOR facilities and personnel are expected to participate. If additional exemptions are required, contact Darrell Lawson at 865-617-2077 or email darrell.lawson@orcc.doe.gov.
