Spill Tracking/Spill Response
• Monitor and communicate NRC reports 24/7• Field activation at the request of states• Determine location of spill• Characterize contaminant plume
– Length, width, breadth, concentration• Calculate time of travel/time of arrival at drinking
water intakes• Provide contaminant sampling and analytical
support as needed
