WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 March 26, 1986 IE INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 86-18: NRC ON-SCENE RESPONSE DURING A MAJOR
EMERGENCY
Addressees
All nuclear power reactor facilities holding an operating license (OL) or a
construction permit (CP).
Purpose
This information notice describes the planned composition and location of the
NRC site team that would respond to a major nuclear power plant accident
representing a clear risk to public health and safety. It is expected that
addressees will review the information provided for applicability. This
information notice does not require the modification of emergency response
facilities to accommodate a full NRC response to an emergency. Suggestions
contained herein do not constitute NRC requirements; therefore no specific
action or written response is required.
Background:
The Commission has defined the role of the NRC in the event of a major accident
at a nuclear power reactor facility. Such an accident would involve potential
or actual radiological releases resulting in doses in excess of EPA Protective
Action Guide (PAG) limits offsite. The NRC will:
o monitor the licensee to assure appropriate protective actions are being
recommended to offsite authorities -
o support the licensee
o support offsite authorities, including confirming the licensee's recommen- dations to offsite authorities, if requested. -Situations requiring prompt
protective actions should not await NRC confirmation
o keep other Federal agencies and entities informed of the status of the
incident
o keep the media informed of the NRC's knowledge of the status of the
situation .

- Hi March 26, 1986 Over the past two years the Federal agencies have been developing a comprehen- ' -
sive Federal plan which describes the manner in which twelve Federal agencies
will respond to any peacetime radiological incident. This plan, the Federal
Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), was published in the Federal
Register on November 8, 1985 (Attachment 1).
Utilities were invited to attend conferences on the Federal response to radio- logical emergencies which described the concept of the FRERP and demonstrated
the Federal equipment and capabilities available to respond to these emergen- cies. These conferences were held in Las Vegas (June 1984), Atlanta (December
1984) and Chicago (April 1985).
Description of Circumstances
Based on the designated NRC role and its responsibilities incorporated in the
FRERP, the NRC regional offices will initially respond to a major accident with
a team of about 12-18 individuals. The initial NRC site team will be located
at the Technical Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility as indicated
in NUREG-0696 and NUREG-0845. The NUREG-0696 guidance for NRC space is adequate
to satisfy initial site team needs. For some types of accidents the initial site
team will be the extent of NRC personnel needed in the vicinity of the site.
However, our experience has shown that for a major accident there will be
additional NRC personnel needed. After about 6-12 hours into a major accident, additional NRC site team members will begin arriving. This expanded site team
will provide more technical depth and backup personnel for the Initial site team
as well as individuals to carry out tasks at other organizations' facilities, such as the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center, State Emergencj,>
Operations Centers and the FEMA Federal Response Center. Attachment 2 is an
organization chart of an expanded site team which may be put in place within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of a major accident. It shows the locations where team members need to
interact. The team is composed of approximately 50 individuals per shift, about
half of whom are located at other organizations' facilities. We are aware that
many EOFs have, by design, limited space and cannot accommodate the number of
NRC individuals identified as having tasks that are closely related to activities
at the EOF. In those cases where sufficient space is not available in existing
facilities, we will place these individuals in alternate locations to carry out
their tasks. This may include the NRC obtaining, through the FRERP, other
accommodations. If existing facilities could accommodate additional personnel, these would be considered on a case by case basis. Accidents resulting in doses
offsite in excess of-EPA PAG and warranting full NRC site team response would
most likely be rare. Construction of additional facilities is not warranted for
such situations.
The NRC expanded site team concept has been developed as planning guidance for
NRC personnel to consider in responding to a major accident and requires no
backfit for increased facilities space to accommodate the NRC site team. The
NRC staff will need to consider with each licensee, ways of making more efficient
use of available space, of providing adequate communications, and of identifying
alternate space where relevant data could be made available in a timely, reliable
manner. NRC regional staff will be working with licensees on a case-by-case basis
to coordinate this effort and devise an approach that will ensure that the NRC
can perform its full role and functions adequately.
IN 86-18 March 26, 1986 Licensee cooperation is requested in meeting with NRC regional staff in the next
several months and determining the most effective means of satisfying NRC site
team logistics and communication needs. No specific action or written response
to this information notice or enclosure to it is required. If you have any
questions regarding this matter, please contact the Regional Administrator of
the appropriate NRC regional office or this office.
