Transportation Emergency (OST)

Any accident involving an OST transportation shipment or convoy, in mission status, that cannot be categorized as an OST OE as outlined in DOE O 151.1E but may require response beyond normal operations and local response asset capabilities. No protective action recommendations for nuclear cargo are issued, but due to the duration, location and support needed, implementation of NIMS/ICS procedures or other response actions may be required to mitigate or resolve the emergency.
