Activation of the RAC 11 EXHIBIT 1 Page 1 of 5 On-Shift RAC Checklist 1.0 The On-Shift RAC should perform the following until relieved by the IREO RAC or by a more senior qualified individual. This checklist need not be completed by the On-Shift RAC prior to turnover per Step 1.11.
NOTE The bold underlined steps below are particularly important in the early stages of an emergency. They should be performed promptly and in an orderly manner.
1.1 Energize the RAC Computer.
1.2 Start a log of activities performed.
1.3 Call out additional resources if they are needed. If no additional resources are needed at this time, skip the step but reconsider it later as needs change.
1.3.1 For the duty roster RAC, determine from the Emergency Director (ED) if the duty roster has been called out. If not, get the RAC's phone number from the ED and call him/her.
1.3.2 For call-out of additional R.C. Techs, obtain (or have someone obtain) phone numbers from the Rad Con Field Ops phone list and call (or have someone call) the needed techs.
1.4 Determine release Pathway. Consult with the ED or his/her designee to determine the pathway of any radioactive releases from the plant.
NOTE Refer to the Emergency Dose Assessment Users Manual section of the EDCM located in the RAC locker for guidance in performing dose projections.

1.5.2 Go to the release pathway specified by the ED.
1.5.2.1 Select the Update Plant Data option to import PPM and Met Data.
1.5.2.2 If the pathway is being monitored by an RMS monitor, use the RMS option for that pathway.
1.5.2.3 If the pathway is not being monitored by an RMS monitor, use the leak rate option for that pathway.
1.5.2.4 Verify that the PPM and Met Data is current (15 minutes old or less). If not, all data will need to be input manually.
1.5.2.5 Enter data not available from the PPM as specified by the input sheet.
1.5.2.6 Edit any PPM or Met Data that is not believed to be accurate.
1.5.2.7 Print dose projection.
1.5.3 Validate the dose projection by performing the following checks:
- Verify that the correct release pathway is being used.
- Verify that the monitor input data is accurate and appropriate (e.g. no calibrations in progress).
- Verify the release duration with the ED.
- Verify that the dose projection results are consistent with other indications.
1.5.4 Use the Total Dose Option to verify no other pathways are contributing to the offsite dose.
1.5.5 If power is lost to the RAC computer, request assistance from Operations in obtaining power. An extension cord is available in the RAC locker.
1.6 Review the dose proiection with the ED. Ensure the ED understands the nature of the dose projection (e.g. bounding calculation, contingency projection, "what-if', etc.) and the precision or uncertainty associated with the dose projection..

- Security Posts
- Warehouses
- Communications
- Medical
- Employee doses and emergency dose extensions.
- Contaminated employees, decontamination efforts and any use of Thyroid Blocking agent.
F. Emergency classifications: Recommend emergency classifications to the ED based on radiological conditions and Emergency Action Levels (EAL).
G. Fuel damage assessment: Provide any necessary assistance to the TSC for the assessment of fuel damage and report results to the ED.
NOTE While the RAC should provide assistance to the TSC in assessing the degree of core damage, the 'official' damage assessment values will be determined by the TSC.
H. Primary to secondary leak rate determination: If a primary to secondary leak exists, use the Emer. Dose Assessment User's Manual contained in the EDCM (Ref. 6.3) to assist in determining primary to secondary leak rate. Coordinate with the TSC in making this determination.
NOTE While the RAC should provide assistance to the TSC in estimating the primary to secondary leak rate, the 'official' leak rate values will be determined by the TSC.
I. When the EACC is staffed turn over field monitoring teams to the EACC.
J. Dose projection/field readings comparison: use the following guidance for comparing field readings (field team or Reuter Stokes readings) and dose projections.
- If field readings are within a factor of 10 less than (and not more than) the corresponding projected value, a very good correlation exist between the two.
- Field iodine sample results, after being converted to thyroid dose rate (CDE per hour), can be directly compared to projected thyroid dose rate.

Activation of the RAC 11 EXHIBIT 2 Page 3 of 5 0 Field team closed window dose rates and Reuter Stokes readings can be compared with DDE values in dose projections.
There is no dose projection value that corresponds directly to field team open window readings. Open window readings that are higher than closed window readings indicate that the plume is at ground level at that location.
K. Sample s: Consider the need for special samples (e.g. MAP-5, CATPASS, RCS-PAS) to provide more precise source term data for dose projections.
0 Samples taken directly from the effluent pathway (e.g. condenser off-gas, MAP-5, etc) provide the most precise source term data.
A sample from the Reactor Building atmosphere (i.e. CATPASS) will improve the precision of source term data for releases from the Reactor Building but will likely be less precise than effluent samples.
RCS sample results are useful in determining the extent of fuel damage and can be used to improve the precision of the source term but to less an extent than effluent samples.
NOTE The Emer. Dose Assessment User's Manual contained in the EDCM (Ref. 6.3) provides guidance on which sample(s) to obtain under various conditions.
L. Communication with BRP: Establish communication with the Bureau of Radiological Protection (BRP) and provide TMI dose projections to them.
M. Communication with NRC: If the NRC requests continuous communication on the Health Physics Network (HPN), establish and maintain communication on the HPN with them and:
0 Assign an extra RAC staff member as soon as one is available or, 0 Request an additional communicator from the ED Assistant.
N. Coordinate all Radiological Controls activities on-site, including:
Access control to areas affected by the emergency.
Personnel dose monitoring and control (including dose extensions).
In-plant surveys and samples.

- 0. Thyroid Blocking: Implement the Thyroid Blocking procedure (EPIP-COM-.44) if it is anticipated that person(s) will be exposed to quantities of radioiodine sufficient to cause a thyroid dose of 25 REM (CDE) or greater.
P. Interface with the Group Leader- Radiological and Environmental Controls (GL-R&EC) regarding:
- Dose projections
- In-plant and on-site conditions
- Protective actions Q. Recommend source term reduction techniques appropriate to the release pathway (e.g. RB spray, raising OTSG levels, etc). See the Emergency Dose Assessment User's Manual in Ref 6.3 for specific information.
R. Evaluate the need for eating and drinking restrictions in-plant.
- If results of habitability monitoring allow, recommend that the E.D. lift restrictions, as needed.
- Ensure habitability monitoring continues.
S. Review radiological information in press releases. Specific examples of radiological information that should not be included in press releases are:
0 Dose projections 0 Protective action recommendations
- Technical terms
- Acronyms and abbreviations T. Trend effluent release data, RMS, sample results, field team readings and dose projections.

Onsite/Offsite Radiological/Environmental Monitoring 12 EXHIBIT I Page 1 of 2 Radiation Surveys To perform radiation surveys:
NOTE Sections A & B below should be implemented as needed based on direction from the RAC/EACC. These sections can be repeated as needed.
A. Plume centerline scans:
- 1. General Guidance:
- Scanning is most effective when the team slowly travels across the plume at approximately a 900 angle to the wind direction.
- Scanning should be performed with a frisker or a survey instrument. If a survey instrument is used, the probe window should be open.
- In inclement weather, the instrument probe should be covered with a surgeon's glove or plastic bag to keep it dry.
- 2. Ask the RAC/EACC to specify a start and stop point for scanning. If the RAC/EACC provides no direction, consult the map and choose a route which runs as nearly perpendicular as possible to the expected plume direction.
- 3. Proceed to the start point with the survey instrument/frisker turned on.
- 4. Scan by driving slowly (- 15 m.p.h.) while holding the instrument probe outside the vehicle.
- 5. Locate the point where the instrument reading is highest.
5.1 Scan until the reading rises and then begins to decrease.
5.2 Reverse direction and return to the location where the maximum reading was obtained.
5.3 If the maximum reading persists for a definite distance (i.e., a tenth mile or greater), find the approximate midpoint of that distance.
- 6. Report the plume centerline location and maximum reading to the RAC/EACC. When reporting the location, give any landmarks which may help fix your location on a map (e.g., intersections, public buildings, streams, etc.).
- 7. Perform a stationary survey as described below unless directed otherwise by the RAC/EACC.

Onsite/Offsite Radiological/Environmental Monitoring 12 EXHIBIT I Page 2 of 2 B. Stationary Surveys:
- 1. Ensure the probe window is closed and hold the instrument probe at waist level while standing outside the vehicle.
- In inclement weather, the instrument probe should be covered with a surgeon's glove or plastic bag to keep it dry.
- 2. Obtain a reading by observing the instrument's needle for several seconds.
- Mentally average the needle fluctuations to arrive at an average reading.
- 3. Obtain 3 readings per Step 2 above over a five minute period unless directed otherwise by the RAC/EACC.
- 4. Record the following in Exhibit 5.
4.1 Record the 3 readings obtained per Step 3. If only 1 reading was taken, record it as "Reading 1".
4.2 If 3 readings were taken, average them and record the average.
4.3 Record the date, time and location of the reading(s).
- 5. Obtain one reading with the probe window open.
5.1 Record the reading (in mR/hr) in Exhibit 5.
- 6. Report the location, time, average closed window reading and open window reading to the RAC/EACC.

Onsite/Offsite Radiological/Environmental Monitoring 12 EXHIBIT 2 Page 1 of 4 Radioiodine And Particulate Air Samples To perform air samples for Iodine and/or Particulate:
NOTE If possible, load the air sampler with the Silver Zeolite cartridge and particulate filter prior to entering the plume.
- 1. Unscrew the filter and cartridge holder rings from the air sampler head and install a new Silver Zeolite cartridge and particulate filter.
1.1 Ensure that the arrow on the side of the Silver Zeolite cartridge points toward the air sampler.
1.2 Ensure that the particulate filter is installed such that the side of the filter which has a fibrous appearance is closest to the Silver Zeolite cartridge.
1.3 Reassemble the air sampler head.
NOTE The sampler flow rate, measure with both a particulate filter and a Silver Zeolite cartridge in place, is written on the air sampler's calibration sticker. The Silver Zeolite cartridge must be in place to ensure obtaining calibrated air flow rate even if an iodine sample has not been requested and the cartridge will not be analyzed in the field.
- 2. Ensure the following prerequisites and precautions are met:
- The air sampler shall be placed outside the vehicle or in an open vehicle door or window.
- Do not place the sampler on the ground or on known contaminated surfaces.
- Keep the sampler away from vehicle exhaust gases.
- Protect the sampler from rain and snow.
- All samples shall be labeled and saved for further analysis.
- Do not point the air sampler inlet toward any object which may restrict sampler air flow.
- Do not stand directly in front of the sampler inlet when the sampler is running or allow loose clothing to restrict airflow.

4 REM Year-to-Date Total Whole Body Dose (TEDE).
25 REM Thyroid Dose (CDE) dudnnq this event.
A rough approximation of the iodine derived air concentration (DAC), thyroid dose (CDE) and internal whole body dose (CEDE) can be obtained using the following relationship:
Every 1000 net cpm on the silver zeolite cartridge equals roughly:
20 DAC Iodine, 500 mREM/hr Thyroid Dose (CDE) and 15 mREM/hr Internal Whole Body Dose (CEDE)
For example: 5000 net cpm on the cartridge would roughly equal: 100 DAC Iodine, 2500 mREM/hr CDE and 75 mRERM/hr CEDE.
NOTE
- 1. This information is intended for field team use only and not for making dose projections for the public.
- 2. The relationships shown above are valid only if the sampler run times specified in the sampling instructions are followed.
- 3. The relationships are based on conservative assumptions (e.g. all iodine is 1131 ) and will in most cases overestimate the field team's dose. More refined estimates can be obtained from the RAC or EACC.

Onsite/Offsite Radiological/Environmental Monitoring 12 EXHIBIT 9 Page 2 of 2 HOW POTASSIUM IODIDE WORKS Certain forms of iodine help your thyroid gland work right. Most people get the iodine they need from foods, like iodized salt or fish. The thyroid can "store" or hold only a certain amount of iodine.
In a radiation emergency, radioactive iodine may be released in the air. This material may be breathed or swallowed. It may enter the thyroid gland and damage it. The damage would probably not show itself for years.
Children are most likely to have thyroid damage.
If you take potassium.iodide, it will fill-up your thyroid gland with non-radioactive iodine. This reduces the chance that radioactive iodine will enter the thyroid gland.
WHO SHOULD NOT TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE The only people who should not take potassium iodide are people who know they are allergic to iodide. You may take potassium iodide even if you are taking medicines for a thyroid problem (for example, a thyroid hormone or anti-thyroid drug). Pregnant and nursing women and babies and children may also take this drug.
HOW AND WHEN TO TAKE POTASSIUM IODIDE Potassium Iodide should be taken as soon as possible after proper authorization is received. You should take one
)se every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. More will not help you because the thyroid can "hold" only limited amounts of iodine. Larger
,)ses will increase the risk of side effects. You will probably be told not to take the drug for more than 10 days.
>Contact company medical personnel to determine how long you should take potassium iodine.
SIDE EFFECTS Usually, side effects of potassium iodide happen when people take higher doses for a long time. You should be careful not to take more than the recommended dose or take it for longer than you are told. Side effects are unlikely because of the low drug dose and the short time you will be taking the drug.
Possible side effects include skin rashes, swelling of the salivary glands, and "iodism" (metallic taste, burning mouth and throat, sore teeth and gums, symptoms of a head cold, and sometimes stomach upset and diarrhea).
A few people could have an allergic reaction with more serious symptoms. These could be fever and joint pains, or swelling of parts of the face and body at times severe shortness of breath requiring immediate medical attention.
Taking iodide may rarely cause overactivity of the thyroid gland, underactivity of the thyroid gland, or enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter).
WHAT TO DO IF SIDE EFFECTS OCCUR If the side effects are severe or if you have an allergic reaction, stop taking potassium iodide and contact the medical department.

Onsite/Offsite Radiological/Environmental Monitoring 12 EXHIBIT 10 Page 1 of 2 Field Team Radio Operating Guidelines NOTE The following sections provide guidance for operation of the field team portable radios. Individual sections can be implemented as needed.
To operate the portable radio:
A. Turn on the portable radio by rotating the "power on-off/volume" knob clockwise. The radio will perform a "power up self test" and then display:
Its unit number (e.g., "TMI P 1" is portable radio #1) and Either "EARS" or "CC SCAN" depending on whether the radio is receiving the system Control Channel signal (i.e., if "CC SCAN" appears, the radio is out of range or in a bad location).
B. To transmit:
Make sure that "EARS" is displayed on the front of the radio and then press the Push-To Talk (PTT) button (elongated button on the left side of the radio).
- When the short medium pitch beep is heard, begin speaking.
If a high pitch beep is heard when the PTT is pressed, the system is temporarily busy.
Don't release the PTT button - continue pressing it and wait for the short medium pitch peep before starting to speak. The delay should typically be not more than a few seconds.
When speaking, hold the radio approximately 3 inches from the mouth and speak in a normal voice.
C. Receiving:
When a call is being received the calling station's identity is displayed in the upper line of the radio's display.

Onsite/Offsite Radiological/Environmental Monitoring 12 EXHIBIT 10 Page 2 of 2 D. System status beeps:
The radio will indicate system status by emitting any of several beeps:
A short medium pitch beep indicates that the radio has begun to transmit and the user may begin speaking.
A high pitch beep indicates that all system channels are busy and the radio is waiting for the next available channel. The user should continue pressing the PTT button until a short medium pitch beep is heard and then begin speaking.
If five short high pitch beeps are heard while transmitting, this indicates that the radio is approaching its 60 second transmission length limit. Unless the radio is un-keyed before the long low pitch beep is heard, the radio will stop transmitting and information will be missed. Long transmissions should be broken into several shorter transmissions to avoid this.
A low pitch beep simultaneous with the appearance of a battery icon in the lower right corner of the display indicates that the battery voltage is low and the battery should be changed.
E. To replace the battery pack:
0 Turn the radio off.
- Depress the recessed button beside the belt clip on the rear of the radio and slide the battery toward the bottom of the radio.
- Lift the battery up and away from the radio.
0 To install a fresh battery pack: Align the tabs on the battery with the slots on the radio and slide the battery pack toward the top of the radio until it clicks.
F. The channel selector knob and the buttons on the front panel of the radio serve no function and should not be manipulated.

- a. The following categories of information should be included in press releases.
0 Level of Emercqency This is simply identifying which of the four emergency levels was declared.
a Basis for Emergqency Declaration This should be a simplified description of the plant condition which produced the emergency declaration (e.g., a leak of radioactive water within a plant building).
S QOperations Status of the Plant A simple description of the plant status at the time of the emergency declaration (e.g., TMI was operating at 100% power, however, the plant is currently reducing power).
a Company/Government Interface This is intended to inform the public that TMI has notified and is working closely with government officials so that public confidence and company credibility can be increased, or maintained.
- Corrective Actions This should be a non-technical description of what plant personnel are doing to correct the problem. It may include such language as "attempts are being made to stop the leak" or "plant personnel are investigating the cause of the leak."
Off-site Impact A statement which simply assess what impact this event may have on the environment.
This is intended to provide factual information on off-site radiological conditions (e.g., a radioactive release is in progress, however, monitoring teams have not detected any radiation levels in excess of normal background).
The initial press release should include all or part of the above information, however, at the very least, it should contain information from the parts above.
- b. In addition, the following guidance should be used in issuing press releases:
Speculation, Dose Projections and Protective Action Recommendations should not be included in press releases.

4Emergency Operations Facility 18 EXHIBIT 16 Page 1 of 5 TMI/NRC Emergency Response Interface Criteria This is a synopsis of the NRC emergency response process as it applies to TMI.
Upon arrival of the NRC, the ED/ESD should:
- Verify who is the senior NRC person in charge
- Ask the senior NRC person to inform the ED/ESD when the position of Director Site Operations is assumed and whether the responsibility to issue directives is included.
- Request that the NRC keep TMI Management informed of all substantive information exchanges between the NRC and the state.
- Request the NRC provide all DIRECTIVES in writing.
In essence, directives from the NRC must come from the NRC Director (typically, the NRC Chairman) or from the NRC Director of Site Operations (typically, the NRC Regional Administrator). Such advice or directive can only be communicated to the Emergency Director (the Emergency Support Director once the EOF is activated). If a directive order is issued by the NRC Director or Director of Site Operations, the ED/ESD should request written confirmation which spells out the specific nature of the directive.
rhile NRC advice may be challenged by the ED or ESD, directives must be complied with.
With respect to protective action recommendations for the public, the NRC may either endorse the TMI's recommendation or opt to recommend a different one. The ED/ESD is encouraged to include the NRC and State representatives in the protective action recommendation discussions in order to arrive at a mutually agreeable recommendation. In the event that the NRC opts to recommend a different PAR, they will attempt to resolve their differences with the utility prior to recommendations to the State. Their recommendation, like the utility recommendation, will be considered by the State in the development of a Governor directive.
SYNOPSIS - NRC EMERGENCY RESPONSE Revision 2 to NUREG 0728, supplemented by NUREG-0845 and NUREG-1471, describes the manner in which the NRC will respond to an incident and provides criteria for making preplanned response decisions. They provide procedural guidance, describe the functions related to NRC emergency response and define procedures for responding to the following NRC modes of operation.
- 1. Normal Mode
- 2. Standby mode
- 3. Initial Activation
- 4. Expanded Activation
- 5. Deactivation 62
Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Plan
"*Emergency Operations Facility 18 EXHIBIT 16 Page 2 of 5 Each mode defines the scope of NRC activities related to a particular level of emergency response in ascending order of degree of involvement to deactivation. The various modes are characterized as follows:
- 1. Normal mode - Normal activities designed to maintain readiness.
- 2. Standby mode - Regional Office activates the Incident Response Center (IRC) with an appropriate staff and NRC Headquarters Operations Center is staffed by a Standby Team.
- 3. Initial Activation - NRC Operations Center is staffed by a response team, the Regional IRC is fully activated and a Site Team is dispatched under the leadership of the Regional Administrator, normally designated as Director of Site Operations (DSO).
- 4. Expanded Activation - Focus of NRC response operations is shifted to the site. DSO is designated primary spokesman for the NRC and may be empowered with directive authority by the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
- 5. Deactivation - Follow-up activities (e.g., reviews, investigation and recovery operations).
The particular mode assumed by the NRC will be dependent upon Licensee event classification and "independent NRC perception of relative severity of uncertainty of accident conditions".
"IRC functions defined in NUREG 0728 which impact directly on the Licensee are:
- 1. Evaluate Incident and Plant Status NRC personnel at the site, the Regional Office and the Headquarters will acquire the necessary data to develop and maintain a complete and accurate overview of the evolution and status of the event.
This will involve data gathering via ERDS, ENS, HPN, and other FTS 2000 telephones as well as direct communications with the Licensee at the ERF's.
- 2. Evaluate Licensee Actions NRC personnel will evaluate Licensee actions to mitigate the consequences of the incident and provide recommendations conceming protective actions for the public.
- 3. Project Incident Consequences and Plant Status Based on information and evaluations discussed above, the NRC will develop an independent projection of the likely further course of events.

Emergency Operations Facility 18 EXHIBIT 16 Page 3 of 5
- 4. Advise, Assist or Direct Licensee The NRC may offer advice or assistance to the Licensee during an emergency, or may respond to Licensee requests for advice of assistance. This may involve diagnosis of critical problems, development of proposed remedial courses of action, and proposals to implement additional precautionary measures. The NRC is also prepared to direct that certain actions be taken if, after thorough discussion with the Emergency Director (the Emergency Support Director once the EOF is activated) it is decided that such direction is required. In the event that such action is taken by the NRC Director or the NRC Director of Site Operations, the ED/ESD should request written confirmation which spells out the specific nature of the directive. Directives will be communicated directly to the ED/ESD from the NRC Director (NRC Chairman) or from the NRC Director of Site Operations (DSO), typically the Regional Administrator, once appointed and empowered to do so.
Several important concepts govern the NRC in providing advice, assistance, or direction. They are:
- a. The Licensee is at all times responsible for mitigating the consequences of the incident.
- b. Although the NRC could issue formal orders to the Licensee to take certain measures and to monitor implementation, ". . . licensee continues to make other key operational decisions and to operate and manage the facility...".
- c. The NRC must have a single voice when advising or directing the Licensee.
- d. The ED/ESD has the option to accept or challenge NRC advice.
At no time will advice or direction come from both the Director and the DSO and the Licensee will always be kept apprised of who is empowered to exercise authority as the NRC spokesman. All other NRC personnel in contact with Licensee personnel are responsible to make clear that discussions should not be construed as advice or direction but rather as a sharing or gathering of information.
- 5. Inform Public and Monitor Public Information During emergency situations, the NRC will formulate its own press releases based on information gathered from the Licensee and from NRC personnel. Procedures exist to ensure that press releases are approved by one person. That person may be the Regional Administrator, NRC Chairman, or DSO depending on the current NRC mode of operations. NRC draft press releases will normally be shared with the Licensee; however, this does not imply a request for approval by the Licensee. The intent is to identify issues needing clarification prior to release to avoid confusing or misleading the public.

- 6. Recommend Protective Actions for the Public The NRC responsibility during an emergency, as during normal operations, is to ensure that protection of public health and safety is adequate. One aspect of this responsibility is to provide protective action recommendations or advice to offsite authorities. This may take the form of an NRC endorsement of a Licensee protective action recommendation or the NRC may opt to recommend additional protective actions. The NRC is not normally involved in the process of recommending protective actions, however they may get involved if a major problem is identified with the protective actions recommended by the licensee or protective actions undertaken by the state or local govemment. Additionally NRC involvement may be requested by state or local officials.
- 7. Review, Investigate and Document Response Actions The scope of this task is not preplanned by the NRC; however, it is apparent that this may require a great deal of interaction between the Licensee and the NRC after-the-fact.
SYNOPSIS - REGION I SUPPLEMENT The Region I Incident Response Supplement to NUREG 0845 restates many of the concepts of NUREG 0845 in greater detail as they apply specifically to Region I.
,ction I - Concept of Operations delineates general duties and responsibilities and describes the NRC modes of
.,_--jeration. Relative to the authority of the DSO, it states:
"The Director of Site Operations (DSO) supervises/manages all NRC personnel and operations at the site, is the NRC spokesperson, represents the NRC in interactions with other agencies and carries out the authority delegated by the Director of the NRC Executive Team (Chairman).
Delegated authority will include one or more of the following:
(a) authority to recommend actions to the Licensee, (b) authority to direct the Licensee to take specified actions, and (c) authority to recommend actions offsite, including protective measures for the public.
The Chairman of the NRC, by memo dated 4/22/80, indicated the Chairman may delegate authority to the Regional Administrator as DSO, upon transfer of control of NRC actions and resources to the site, to issue orders to a Licensee during an emergency. It is intended that this authority be used as a last resort to mitigate the emergency conditions only if, in the judgement of the NRC, the Licensee has shown it is incapable of controlling the emergency. This authority is valid only in an emergency when the Regional Administrator (or other senior NRC official) is the DSO and specific authorities have been transferred to him by the Chairman or designated alternate".
Sections II and III contain detailed procedures specific to Region I and present no new concepts of interest to the Licensee.
The attachment to the synopsis is provided for your information. This attachment depicts the Site Team Organization and is an extract of the NUREG-1471. It defines the number of NRC personnel expected to operate in each facility and shows the lines of communications the NRC expects to use.
