There are several American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards
that you may wish to obtain.  

ANSI/ANS 15.16 - 1982, "Emergency Planning for Research Reactors"

ANSI/ANS 3.8.1 - 1987, "Criteria for Emergency Response Functions and Organizations"

ANSI/ANS 3.8.2 - 1987, "Criteria for Functional and Physical Characteristics of
     Emergency Response Facilities"

ANSI/ANS 3.8.3 - 1987, "Criteria for Emergency Response Plans and Implementing
     Procedures"

ANSI/ANS 3.8.4 - 1987, "Criteria for Maintaining Emergency Response Capability"

There are other standards planned for the ANS 3.8 series related to emergency
planning for nuclear reactors.

For non-reactor nuclear facilities handling fissile material, you may wish to
obtain

ANSI/ANS 8.3 - 1986, "Criticality Accident Alarm Systems"

There is also a draft (and hopefully a soon to be issued) standard on "Nuclear
Criticality Accident Emergency Planning and Response".  You may contact me
directly if you want more info on this draft standard.

The ANSI Standards listed above are published by the American Nuclear Society
(ANS) and may be obtained from: American Nuclear Society, 555 North Kensington Av.,
La Grange Park, Illinois 60525, USA
