A Radiological Incident Center was established at AEC headquarters in Germantown to
coordinate actions required fn the event of a radiation incident. The center will-be active only
in the event of an incident of sufficient magnitude to warrant its utilization to coordinate headquarters responsibilities in such matlers as public relations and Congressional notification,
and to assist the responsible field office in obtaining help to cope with the incident,
