READY, SET, RESPOND!!!!—NRC OPERATIONS CENTER INTERACTIVE TOURS
Sponsored by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response

To participate in an on-site Operations Center tour, RIC attendees must select a tour date / time to reserve space for this event when registering attendance for the RIC.
