-
Continue to evaluate the NRC protective action recommendation guidance

necessary.

Consider improvements in how we communicate our emergency preparedness
programs as well as the basis of our emergency preparedness guidance.
Review, update, and consolidate our emergency preparedness/planning
information presented on the NRC public website. Consider appropriate
descriptions of the various protective actions, including sheltering,
evacuation, and KI prophylaxis.
-
Review, update, and consolidate information on NRC's public website
regarding terrorism, including the adequacy of the existing emergency
planning basis to contend with the consequences of a terrorist-initiated
event at a nuclear power plant or spent fuel pool.

Update the briefing chart entitled "Sources of Exposure" to reflect
the current UNSCEAR annual average medical dose estimate in the United
States.
