1.0 PURPOSE This procedure lists Energy Northwest's Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and identifies responsibilities for participation by, and training of, the ERO.

2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 ERO positions, response categories and position requirements that comply with Emergency Plan requirements and Emergency Preparedness business practices are assigned by response category as indicated in the Columbia Generating Station Emergency Plan.

2.2 Energy Northwest's ERO consists of positions that satisfy Emergency Preparedness Plan requirements for initial and augmenting staffing during declared emergency events as well as positions that may be summoned as needed. The positions are arranged in the following response categories:

2.2.1 On shift This category consists of plant positions staffed by shift personnel that satisfy FSAR, technical specification, and security plan requirements for the normal conduct of plant operations. In a declared emergency, shift personnel provide initial staffing for emergency positions identified by the Columbia Generating Station Emergency Plan. In certain cases, shift personnel may satisfy staffing requirements for more than one emergency position identified in the Plan, such as Equipment Operators performing emergency maintenance tasks as well as serving as fire brigade members.

2.2.2 Essential This category consists of positions necessary to activate emergency centers within 60 minutes of being notified to respond. Essential ERO personnel will assist on shift personnel to provide assessment and mitigation of accident conditions, notifications to offsite agencies, or provide overall direction, control and logistical support for emergency operations.

2.2.3 Augmenting This category consists of positions expected to be present in emergency centers within 60 minutes of being notified to respond. Augmenting personnel provide additional emergency assessment, accident mitigation and logistics support to on shift and essential personnel.

2.2.4 Support This category consists of positions which are summoned when needed to support emergency operations.

NUMBER REVISION PAGE SWP-EPP-01 10 6 of 14

Line management plans and manages ERO selection and rotation to meet business needs, and needs of personnel.

4.2 Individuals selected for ERO participation must be qualified prior to ERO position assignment. Refresher training and participation in drills to ensure retention and familiarity with ERO duties will be administered on a calendar year basis (i.e., annually) to ERO personnel. Individuals not completing annual refresher training by December 31 of the current year will be disqualified to fill their ERO position until the training requirements are brought up-to-date.

4.3 An ERO assignment list is maintained by Emergency Preparedness that identifies personnel who have been assigned to staff emergency positions. This list is verified, published and distributed quarterly as a section of the Emergency Phone Directory.

4.4 Maintenance responsibilities may also be covered by certain members of the On-shift Crew during the initial stages of an event. These duties may involve minor mechanical, electrical, or instrumentation and control (I&C) actions, such as tightening the packing on a valve, racking in a breaker, venting a gauge, and reading blueprints or piping and instrumentation drawings. Training to support these Maintenance duties is provided by the Training Department as part of the Operator Training program.

Equipment Operators who fill this role receive basic Maintenance training in accordance with the Equipment Operator Qualification Directory.

4.5 The Emergency Preparedness Training Program is a combination of classroom and performance-based training designed to provide the instruction necessary to develop and maintain ERO personnel skills and knowledge. Credit is taken for certain aspects of craft and fire brigade related skill training administered by the Training Department for ERO skills and knowledge.

4.5.1 Program Content Description {R5876}

The program consists of a combination of classroom, hands-on, and in-the-field training. Where appropriate, initial and/or refresher training can also be conducted using a seminar or workshop format when group discussion is an important benefit.

4.5.2 Initial Training {R-5875}

Initial training is designed to provide the position-specific skills and knowledge necessary for an individual to perform the functions of the emergency position.

Individuals assigned to an emergency center are scheduled for the Emergency Preparedness Overview and Emergency Center specific operations training for that center. Additional training required for an individual's position is NUMBER REVISION PAGE SWP-EPP-01 10 7 of 14

provided on an as needed basis. The requirements of each emergency position, and specific EP courses are detailed in the Qualification Directory.

Individuals assigned to the on shift crews are scheduled for emergency response training during their normal training cycle. Some positions in the on shift emergency organization are filled by individuals who receive cross training or add on training so that they can fill multiple emergency response functions (refer to Attachment 6.1). The requirements for the on shift emergency positions are detailed in the Training Department's Qualifications Directories. Some of the basic emergency response training is also provided in the General Employee Training program.

Upon completion of training, the students are normally required to pass a written exam, or to demonstrate performance-based actions, e.g., during a drill or exercise. {C-7972}

4.5.3 Refresher Training Refresher training is required on an annual basis for all ERO personnel and is conducted using training or drill participation.

Successful completion of annual license requalification training for the following Control Room positions adequately refreshes course content for Emergency Classification and Notifications:

Shift Manager Control Room Supervisor Control Room Operator Shift Technical Advisor/Incident Advisor/Emergency Response SRO 4.5.4 EPIP Required Reading Personnel assigned to Plant emergency centers are made aware of EPIP revisions through the change management process. This process is designed to provide emergency response personnel with information regarding procedure revisions affecting their specific positions.

4.5.5 Emergency Drill Program The emergency drill program utilizes drills as on-the-job training. Participants are evaluated during the performance of their job and on-the-spot corrections/training is conducted. Problems identified from drills may be incorporated into annual refresher training, covered during a tabletop, discussed via email or other appropriate methods.

NUMBER REVISION PAGE SWP-EPP-01 10 8 of 14

4.6 Additional Training 4.6.1 There are additional areas where training required for emergency response is incorporated into programs maintained and presented by other training groups.

These training requirements are documented by Qualification Management Services and compliance is reviewed regularly by Emergency Preparedness.

4.6.2 Cross Training for certain ERO members is provided by other training groups in the following areas:

  • HP/Chem, General Employee Training (GET)
  • Fire Brigade Training
