3.0 DISCUSSION 3.1 The Emergency Director is the Energy Northwest individual on shift at all times who has the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions.
3.2 The Shift Manager normally acts as the Emergency Director when an emergency classification is initially declared. Emergency Director responsibilities will transfer from the Shift Manager to the TSC Manager or the EOF Manager depending upon time of facility activation.
NOTE: An Assistant EOF Manager from another ERO team may serve as a qualified EOF Manager in the event that personnel assigned to the EOF Manager qualification group are unavailable.
3.3 The EOF Manager is responsible for the overall management of Energy Northwest resources and will be in charge of Energy Northwest emergency and recovery operations.
3.4 The EOF Manager must authorize requests for outside assistance, including resources available from the federal government.
3.5 Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs) are entered and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) are exited when primary containment flooding is required. The TSC Manager is responsible to communicate this to the EOF Manager or Assistant EOF Manager when this occurs.
3.6 The Emergency Director approves mitigating actions identified as requiring Emergency Director concurrence on SAGs or EOPs prior to implementation, using the Emergency Director ringdown phone, or other means if this method is not available.
3.7 The EOF Manager coordinates response when notified of an offsite request for assistance or a Hanford emergency notification has been received.
4.0 PROCEDURE NOTE: Procedural steps may be implemented using Attachment 5.2, EOF Manager Checklist.
4.1 EOF Manager Duties At Unusual Event Classification 4.1.1 No action is required unless you are contacted by the Shift Manager or Emergency Director.
4.2 EOF Manager Duties For Alert Or Higher Emergency Classifications NOTE: If you are unable to respond to the EOF, respond to the Alternate EOF located at the Energy Northwest Office Complex (ENOC).

4.2.4 Verify responding EOF staff promptly set up the EOF and obtain assistance, if necessary, to resolve any activation problems.
NOTE: Failure to staff the required positions within about one hour of classification is a violation of the Emergency Plan response requirements.
4.2.5 Ensure Essential EOF positions are present. Activate the EOF when Essential personnel are present and the main EOF responsibilities can be assumed:
- EOF Manager
- Radiological Emergency Manager
- Environmental Field Team Members (6)
- Field Team Coordinator
- Telecommunications Manager EOF Main Responsibilities
- Manage the overall Energy Northwest emergency effort.
- Evaluate the magnitude and consequences of actual or potential radiological releases.
- Coordinate emergency response activities with local, state and federal agencies.
- Provide offsite protective action recommendations.
Use judgment in determining when qualified personnel will perform a task to NUMBER REVISION PAGE 13.11.1 29 5 of 26
fulfill EOF responsibilities even though the personnel may not be identified as normally assigned to the task.
4.2.6 When the EOF is activated, then:
- Direct the EOF Information Coordinator to anounce center activation to other emergency centers
- Direct the TSC Manager to have the Plant/NRC Liaison to report activation to NRC.
- Conduct an initial briefing, including:
- Current emergency classification, cause of event and corrective actions being taken or in progress
- Current plant status
- Onsite personnel status of injuries, contaminations, exposures, etc.
- Whether the event involves radioactive releases
- Status of notifications to offsite agencies
- Status of offsite emergency response activities in progress or planned and PARs if issued 4.2.7 Assume the Emergency Director duties per Section 4.6. Then:
- Initiate a Crash call per Section 4.6.
4.2.8 Evaluate staff recommendations on assistance from outside agencies and direct the Site Support Manager to coordinate this response.
4.2.9 Conduct periodic briefings:
- If an NRC site response team is enroute, ensure a briefing in accordance with Attachment 5.1 is prepared. {R-1584}
- Conduct briefings for EOF staff approximately every 30 minutes using EOF Briefing Guidelines, form 26028.
- Brief the Chief Executive Officer/Representative as developments occur using form 26028.
