DAEC EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION B EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION Rev. 26 Page 3 of 34 1.0 PURPOSE (1)
This section describes the structure of the Emergency Response Organization and the specific responsibilities and authorities of key response personnel.
Support services available with the Asset Owner and the Nuclear Management Company (NMC) to augment the Emergency Response Organization are identified as well as those services that may be provided by the Asset Owner, the NMC, contractors and local organizations.
(2)
The NMC is assigned operational responsibility for the DAEC. However, the Asset Owner maintains corporate accountability for activities at the DAEC and will participate when necessary in activities at the DAEC. The reference Asset Owner/NMC will be used throughout this procedure to signify this relationship.
Further details regarding this relationship can be found in the Nuclear Power Plant Operating Services Agreement (NPPOSA) between the Asset Owner and the NMC.
2.0 REQUIREMENTS 2.1 RESPONSE POSITIONS (1)
The Emergency Response Organization is as illustrated in Figure B-1, and in the text of Section B and Section H of the DAEC Emergency Plan.
Personnel qualified to fulfill the emergency response positions are identified in the Emergency Telephone Book and in the DAEC Training Records with the DAEC Training Records being the most up to date. The Emergency Response Organization structure can be modified as required by the Emergency Coordinator or Emergency Response & Recovery Director.
2.2 ONSITE RESPONSE ASSIGNMENTS (1)
Immediate response organizational assignments, lines of succession, and responsibilities are as described below, for the Onsite organization.

The Emergency Coordinator reports to the ER&RD and has full authority and responsibility to initiate emergency actions and to recommend appropriate offsite protective measures to local and state authorities during the initial stages of the event as discussed in Section A.
(ii)
Lines of Succession (a)
The Operations Shift Manager/Supervisor (OSM/OSS) functions as the Emergency Coordinator until relieved. A qualified person will assume the responsibility of the Emergency Coordinator and receives turnover from the OSM/OSS. If necessary, the ER&RD will appoint the position of Emergency Coordinator and will inform the Operations Shift Manager/Supervisor of the appointment.
(iii)
Responsibilities (a)
The Emergency Coordinator exercises full responsibility and authority for all activities at the site. This position is a 30-minute ERO response reporting position. He/she is assigned the following functional responsibilities:
- a. Ensure the activation of the onsite Emergency Response Organization as appropriate for the classification and circumstances of the emergency condition.
- b. Coordinate efforts to return the plant to and maintain it in a safe, stable condition.
- c. Coordinate accident assessment and analyses efforts to determine the full scope and impact of the emergency.
- d. Ensure appropriate initial notification of Asset Owner/NMC, local, state, and federal officials and agencies. This function will be assumed by the Emergency Operations Facility when activated.
- e. Provide initial Protective Action Recommendations, as appropriate, to local and state authorities who are responsible for offsite protective measures. This function will be assumed by the Emergency Operations Facility upon activation of that facility.

The Joint Public Information Center will function as the principal focal point for distribution of information to the public regarding the emergency condition at the DAEC. Press briefings will be coordinated by the JPIC Manager, who will ensure that appropriate emergency response and corporate individuals are available to provide technical information and respond to inquiries from the assembled media personnel.
Information related to the plant as well as generic information related to the nuclear industry will be available to the media.
Further details and instructions related to press briefings and public relations are provided in the EPIPs.
(iii)
Apprising Public Officials and Agencies (a)
The facilities in the JPIC will be used, as appropriate, following the issuance of Protective Action Recommendations (PARs),
for follow-up discussions and briefings of government officials and industry spokespersons on the status of the event, actions being taken, and evaluations assessing the impact upon the public.
DAEC EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION B EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION Rev. 26 Page 26 of 34 (B) Corporate Assistance (i)
Legal Counsel (a)
Legal Counsel can provide the ER&RD with advice to prevent Asset Owner/NMC from taking actions that could increase corporate liability or jeopardize indemnification agreements when handling claims and litigation.
(ii)
Insurance and Claims (a)
Insurance and Risk personnel can advise the ER&RD in the area of insurance and claims, and provide them with regular status reports on the injured or contaminated individuals treated at nearby medical facilities. They interface with American Nuclear Insurers and can apprise them of the details, the sequence of events, the impact of the emergency, and the actions being taken to mitigate its consequences.
They also interface with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited and Nuclear Mutual Limited (NEIL/NML), a utility-owned captive insurance group, which covers the loss of generation and coordinates claims filed on behalf of Asset Owner/NMC.
(b)
Insurance and Risk personnel will coordinate with nearby medical facilities and backup medical facilities at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, as required, in the treatment of radiological and non-radiological injuries. Insurance and Risk personnel can also complete all insurance forms and document all events affecting insurance and claims during the emergency.
2.6 LOCAL SUPPORT SERVICES (1)
Agreements have been reached with local agencies and private support facilities with regard to the type of support that will be furnished to the DAEC in the event of an emergency. These agreements in the form of letters of agreement (refer to Appendix 2 for list of letters) and agreements of responsibility as described in the Linn and Benton County Radiological Emergency Response Plans have been developed to ensure that there is a clear understanding of assigned responsibilities and that there will be proper coordination of activities in the event of an emergency. The Letters of Agreement will be updated as necessary and confirmed as acceptable at least every two years.
