In accordance. with the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan, the radiological emergency response capabilities of Federal agencies will be used to protect the public health and safety or to assist organizations of individuals who need immediate radiological emergency assistance. Coordinated by the DOE, there are personnel and equipment available 24 hours a day on request to assist at the scene of all kinds of radiological incidents believed to require capabilities beyorid those available. These emergency personnel are prepared to deal with all aspects of a radiological incident. The DOE and Department of Defense have established special emergency response capabilities for coping with accidents involving nuclear weapons and so- called peaceful nuclear explosives. 224-  If a ragiological incident occurs. in a public place, sonle degree of immediate. response by State and local public safety personnel usually will be required. Initial action usually will bylocalfireor police personnel first at the scene of the incident.
