in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets the Secretary direct the Nuclear Incident Response Team to operate as part of DHS during an actual or threatened terrorist attack, major disaster, or other emergency. While operating that way, the Team answers to the Secretary. The law does not otherwise limit the normal authority of the Energy Secretary and EPA Administrator over their own parts of the Team.

(a) In general. When the Secretary directs it — in connection with an actual or threatened terrorist attack, major disaster, or other emergency in the United States — the Nuclear Incident Response Team operates as part of the Department. While operating that way, the Team is under the Secretary's direction, authority, and control. (b) Rule of construction. Nothing in this subchapter limits the normal authority of the Secretary of Energy and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to organize, train, equip, and use their own parts of the Nuclear Incident Response Team, or to direct and control them when they are not operating as part of the Department (subject to the rest of this subchapter).
