Docket Nos.:
50-315 50-316 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Mail Stop O-P1-17 Washington, DC 20555-0001 Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units I and 2 EMERGENCY PLAN, REVISION 18 Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), the licensee for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP) Units 1 and 2, submits the enclosed revision to the CNP Emergency Plan for review and approval. The revision removes the 30-minute augmented staffing positions from the CNP Emergency Plan, Planning Standard B, Table 1, "CNP Staffing for Radiological Emergencies," and places the augmenting staff either on shift, or in 60-minute augmented staffing positions.
A review of the revision was performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q) considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, and other applicable Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidance. The review determined that the CNP Emergency Plan continues to meet the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b), and that there is no reduction in Emergency Plan effectiveness.
However, the revision represents a reduction in commitment without a commensurate reduction in the bases for the commitment; therefore, NRC approval is requested prior to implementation.
Presently, in order to meet the 30-minute time requirement, personnel that are required to be available in 30 minutes are on shift. I&M requests approval of the revision within ninety days to allow reducing the number of personnel required to be on shift.
The change from an on-shift to an augmenting position is considered cost beneficial as the on-shift positions are not considered essential, and the change improves the working conditions of the technicians involved. provides a description of the revision and justification for no reduction in CNP Emergency Plan effectiveness. provides a AcHS
