ENSI-B11/en

Guideline ENSI-B11 regulates the requirements for the preparation for and performance of emergency exercises. In addition, it defines the implementation of the general emergency exercises to be carried out in the vicinity of nuclear installations as part of the radiological emergency preparedness framework under the supervision of the Federal Office for Civil Protection (FOCP) for the nuclear installations required to participate by the Emergency Protection Ordinance.

This guideline applies to nuclear power plants (NPP) in operation or undergoing decommissioning, the Würenlingen Central Interim Storage Facility (Zwilag), the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the nuclear research facilities at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

The requirements in this guideline apply analogously to nuclear installations that are in post-operational or decommissioning lifetime phases, taking into account the changing hazard potential accordingly.
