Promptly after the terrorist events on September 11, 2001, the NRC activated its Incident Response Center at NRC Headquarters and in the regional offices, staffed the centers with teams of top officials and technical experts, and maintained this staffing for several months. The NRC advised its licensees to go to the highest level of security and the agency established communications with the FBI, the Department of Energy, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, among others. For more information, see the NRC Press Release issued on September 21, 2001.
