dc.descriptionFunctional Elements are activities which are needed to provide effective response during emergency. Facility organisation usually has the highest degree of readiness; it is often also the authority for recommending what immediate public protective actions should be implemented in the area close to the facility. Notification must be prompt enough to enable response organisations to perform their required functions effectively and should be based on the emergency classification. For nuclear power plants, accident mitigation refers to the need for emergency operating procedures dealing with upset events and accidental conditions. Urgent protective actions must be implemented promptly to be effective and thus require quick decision-making and are applicable over a short period of time (days/weeks). Urgent protective actions must be integrated into protective action strategy that will be implemented promptly. The information on the response to a nuclear emergency should be provided in advance within the emergency zones, This information usually contain the nature of the hazard, how people will be warned or notified, and on the actions to be taken in case of an emergency. According to IAEA, emergency workers include anyone needed to implement urgent protective action (e.g., bus drivers) or to take action to mitigate the accident (e.g., on-site damage control), IAEA states that emergency workers should be aware of the risks and be trained and also established guidance concerning appropriate dose limits for emergency workers depending on their functions. Effective medical response is a necessary element of an overall response to nuclear or radiological emergencies. Since the media are often the primary source of public information during an emergency, the provisions should be in place to respond to public and the media concerns effectively during an emergency.
