NRC's Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR) is responsible for the effective operation of the NRC's emergency preparedness and incident response programs. In order to carry out these critical responsibilities, NRC's Headquarters Operations Center (HOC) and Operations Officers, within the HOC, continuously (24x7) receive and document telephone notifications issued by nuclear power plant operators, fuel cycle facility operators, and others. In order to meet its mission, operational readiness for the HOC is supported by the four major support systems: (1) Operations Center Information Management System (OCIMS), a system that includes a range of services for data, display, and voice; (2) Emergency Response Data System (ERDS), an analytical system used by NRC licensees to transmit reactor data points to the HOC for independent safety analysis; (3) Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS), the system of telephone circuits and equipment that NRC relies on during an emergency to communicate with all commercial nuclear power plants (NPPs) and major fuel cycle facilities; and (4) Secure Video Teleconferencing System (SVTC) which provides a secret level video conferencing capability to perform classified face to face coordination with other government agencies.
