National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB)

The NRPB is responsible for advising government departments and other, bodies on radiological pro­tection matters. In the event of an emergency, the NRPB would undertake the coordination of moni­toring for radioactivity outside the area covered by the site emergency plan. It would also assess the ra­diological hazard within the emergency plan area. The NRPB would liaise with the N11, government depart­ments and the CEGB, and provide advice on the ra­diological hazards.

Representatives from the NRPB would be in at­tendance at the OSC and at the N11 headquarters emergency centre.
