DAEC EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION C EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES Rev. 21 Page 3 of 7 1.0 PURPOSE (1)
This section describes the support and resources which IES and the Nuclear Management Company (NMC) can expect from local, state, and federal governments and local support agencies to augment their capabilities. Figure C-1 outlines the typical organization of the NRC Site Team.
(2)
The NMC is assigned operational responsibility for the DAEC. However, IES maintains corporate accountability for activities at the DAEC and will participate when necessary in activities at the DAEC. The reference IES/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 IES and the NMC.
2.0 REQUIREMENTS 2.1 FEDERAL SUPPORT (1)
The federal government maintains in-depth capability to assist IES/NMC, the State of Iowa, and local governments through the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan and the Federal Response Plan. Requests for federal assistance will be made for the State of Iowa through the Federal Emergency Management Agency or directly through the Iowa Department of Public Health to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy or the Food and Drug Administration as the situation may warrant their response. These agencies can provide support for emergencies beyond the capabilities of IES/NMC and the local and state governments, primarily in the areas of radiological monitoring and sampling.
This support would be of importance during a protracted event or one that involved a release of large amounts of radioactivity. When deemed appropriate, as described above, IES/NMC will recommend that the State of Iowa request and coordinate the support of these federal agencies.
(2)
NRC response modes are described in RCM-96 Section Q, "Concept of Operations" and are generalized as:
(a)
Standby: The situation is sufficiently complex or uncertain to require additional monitoring and preparations to increase the NRC response quickly should it prove to be necessary. The appropriate NRC regional office directs response activities.
DAEC EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION C EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES Rev. 21 Page 4 of 7 (i)
The above mode involves only a few NRC specialists because the significance of the safety concerns immediately evident is not yet clear. Other federal organizations are notified but are not directly involved. State and local authorities, who will have been notified by the licensee, may call the NRC for an interpretation of the event and response.
(b)
The following modes, which indicate that an event with clear safety concerns is underway, usually involve direct participation by other federal organizations.
(i)
Initial Activation: The event calls for the NRC to dispatch a management and analysis team to the site. During this mode, the response to an event is directed by the NRC Executive Team from the NRC Operations Center at headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, while an NRC team is on the way to the site.
(ii)
Expanded Activation: The NRC management and analysis team is operational at the site and is now called the Site Team. During this mode, the entire NRC response is directed from the site by the Director of Site Operations with operational authority delegated by the Director of the Executive Team. Other NRC teams act in support of the Director of Site Operations.
(iii)
Deactivation: A plan for follow-up activities, including reentry and recovery, is in effect and the NRC is reducing its role to that outlined in the plan with the concurrence of the Federal Coordinating Officer and the State Coordinating Officer.
(3)
Provisions of the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan come into play when response activities of more than one federal organization need to be coordinated; in addition, the broader Federal Response Plan will take effect.
These overlaid federal plans neither delay nor change the thrust of NRC response activities when they take effect, but they do entail additional coordination to provide the best possible federal support to state and local authorities.
(4)
The NRC maintains the flexibility needed to meet both the changing requirements of an emergency and the varying needs for working with other organizations by first, defining the functions that may need to be performed and second, training teams of functional specialists who can be deployed as the situation requires.
DAEC EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION C EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES Rev. 21 Page 5 of 7 2.2 NON-IES/NMC STAFFING OF THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY (1)
Provisions exist to accommodate representatives from both Linn and Benton Counties and the State of Iowa at the Emergency Operations Facility.
Additionally, facilities have been made available for use by NRC and FEMA representatives.
2.3 RADIOLOGICAL LABORATORY SUPPORT (1)
In addition to laboratory facilities available at the DAEC, the Offsite Radiological and Analytical Laboratory/Offsite Decontamination Facility (ORAL/ODEF) is located at 1017 12th Avenue SW in Cedar Rapids, approximately ten miles from the DAEC. Equipment installed in the ORAL enables analyses of environmental, atmospheric, soil, vegetation, and water samples to evaluate the presence of significant radionuclides.
(2)
In addition to these two laboratories, several other sources of laboratory support exist. These include the following:
(a)
Laboratory facilities of IES/NMC's environmental consultant for the analysis of environmental sample media (b)
The laboratory facilities from neighboring utilities as invoked through the INPO Fixed Facility Agreement (c)
The University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory as coordinated through the Emergency Management Division, Iowa Department of Public Defense (d)
The NRC Mobile Van as coordinated with the NRC Region III Site Team Leader.
2.4 IES/NMC STAFFING OF OFFSITE GOVERMENTAL EOCS (1)
IES/NMC will prepare to send a utility representative to selected offsite governmental Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) as outlined in the Emergency Telephone Book (ETB), Section A-1.

Dashed bordered boxes indicate Critical Positions. Critical positions constitute the minimum staff necessary to perform the critical NRC response functions preparatory to designation of a Director of Site Operations (DSO).
Location of all positions is driven by the State/Licensee's Emergency Response Organization. The facilities listed with these positions represent the probable locations.
Note 1:
Either the PMCL Communicator or the HPN Communicator will be a critical position, not both.
Note 2:
Either the ENS Communicator or the RSCL Communicator will be a critical position, not both.
Note 3:
Safeguards/Security Assistant Coordinator is part of the Initial Site Team only in safeguards/security type events.
