Due to a lapse in appropriations, the NRC has ceased normal operations. However, excepted and exempted activities necessary to maintain critical health and safety functions—as well as essential progress on designated critical activities, including those specified in Executive Order 14300—will continue, consistent with the OMB-Approved NRC Lapse Plan.

Incident response (IR)

Activities that address the short-term, direct effects of a natural or human-caused event and require an emergency response to protect life or property. For detail, see Emergency Preparedness and Response and the NRC Incident Response Plan (NUREG-0728).
