RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMERGENCY -- Revision 12 DIRECTOR Page 2 of 24 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure outlines the duties and responsibilities of the Emergency Director and provides instructions and guidance for the conduct of Emergency Director activities in the Technical Support Center during a declared emergency at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

Sections of this procedure, which satisfy commitments M76060A and M90125A, are marked with a $.

2.0 APPLICABILITY 2.1 An emergency (Alert or higher classification) has been declared at the Monticello Nuclear Plant and the TSC is activated.

2.2 A designated Emergency Director has received a turnover from the Duty Shift Manager (Interim Emergency Director) and assumed the duties and responsibilities of Emergency Director.

3.0 ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 The EmerQencv Director is responsible for:

3.1.1 Implementation of this procedure and management of emergency response activities in the TSC.

3.1.2 Overall direction and coordination of MNGP's emergency response activities. (Prior to turnover of this responsibility to the Emergency Manager.)

3.1.3 Off-site communications with State and Local authorities and federal agencies (before turnover to the EOF).

3.1.4 Notification of new emergency classifications (prior to turnover of this responsibility to the Emergency Manager). The Emergency Director retains primary responsibility to classify or re-classify emergencies.

3.1.5 Making off-site Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) to State and/or County authorities (prior to turnover of this responsibility to the Emergency Manager).

4.0 DISCUSSION This procedure' provides instructions for the various duties and responsibilities of the Emergency Director in the Monticello TSC. In some cases, this procedure references other procedures which provide more detailed instructions for the performance and coordination of Emergency Director tasks (e.g., Event Termination/Recovery).

DIRECTOR:'--.-

Page 3 of 24 The instructions contained within each section of this procedure are presently in the umost probable" sequential order and, although presented in this sequence, they are intended to be implemented as the emergency situation dictates and as determined by the Emergency Director.

During the implementation of this procedure the Emergency Director must consider the three distinct phases in the' Emergency Classification, Declaration and Notification process.

Classification: The act of assessing the EALs to determine the appropriate classification which the ongoing events are categorized. This may take a reasonable length of time (5 to 15 minutes for most situations) depending upon the complexity of the situation. This 15 minute assessment period is consistent with the NRC Branch Position on Timeliness of Classification of Emergency Conditions, EPPOS No. 2.

Declaration: The act of formally declaring the classification based on the assessment of EALs. This is the point at which the classification time is set and the 1 OCFR50, App. E 15 minute off-site notification clock starts.

Notification: The act of making the notification(s) to the State, Wright and Sherburne Counties, NRC, etc.

5.0 PRECAUTIONS 5.1 When transferring off-site responsibilities from the TSC to the EOF, the various functions should be transferred simultaneously due to their inter-dependence (i.e., transferred as a package, at the same time, and not independently).

5.2 Emergency classification changes and Off-site Protective Action Recommendations (when made) SHALL be transmitted to the State and Counties within 15 minutes.

6.0 INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 Response to an Unusual Event

$ 6.1.1 When contacted by the Duty SEC, obtain a general description of the event including the following information (if applicable):

A.

The cause of the event and immediate corrective actions taken.

B.

Plant status before (and after) the.event occurred (e.g.,

operating, shutdown, 'reduced power, etc.).

C.

On-site personnel status (e.g., injuries, contaminations, over exposures).

Status of off-site notifications to State, Counties, NRC and whether the event warrants additional individual/organization notifications in accordance with 4 AWI-04.08.01 (EVENT NOTIFICATIONS).

6.1.2 The SEC will ask if (precautionary) notification of a Radiological Emergency Coordinator (REC) is necessary. Instruct the SEC to contact a REC if (in your opinion) the event involves or has significant potential to involve off-normal radiological consequences. The duty Shift Manager or Control Room Supervisor may be consulted to make this determination.

6.1.3 If located at the plant, consider responding to the Control Room, Work Execution Center Office or TSC- (if warranted). If located off-site, provide the Duty SEC with the telephone (or pager) number at which you can be contacted (if you will not be reporting to the Plant).

6.1.4 Maintain a heightened state of awareness throughout the event. If conditions degrade, respond accordingly. If the emergency classification escalates (to Alert or higher), refer to Section 6.2 of this procedure.

6.2 Response to an Alert (or higher) 6.2.1 Upon receipt of the Alert declaration (via PA announcement or pager activation) all designated Emergency Directors should report immediately to the TSC.

6.2.2 Upon arrival, refer to the TSC ERO Tag Board and determine the initial Emergency Director assignment as follows:

A.

If no one has assumed the ED position turn the ED tag and sign-in as Emergency Director.

B.

If the Plant Manager is present, he/she should assume the duties of Emergency Director.
