Curiously, the FCTM does not say much on what to do or not to do following RTO.
In my company we have quite comprehensive guidance. After stopping and carrying out the immediate actions, if an evacuation is not required then the next step is calculate the brake energy figures from the QRH to establish how safe it is to move or not as the case may be. The B777 is pretty amazing in this regard.

Some years ago I had an RTO at around 160kts at close to max TOW. We were able to safely taxy off the runway and back to the apron with brakes that did not reach the range where fuse plugs were in danger of melting, albeit they were hot!
