Common Emergency Plan Drivers
Response
Changes since NUREG-0654
-Security-based changes Organization
- Eliminate 30-Minute Responders Changes to on-shift response organization Reorganize Emergency Response Facility staffing Standardization Incorporate industry best practices
-Re-baseline Emergency Plan Licensing Bas s Commonality
- Permit leveraging of resources Ensure consistent response to emerging egul o\\ry direction Comte to Nuclear Exelence r
Key Changes Site-specific Annexes Increase on-shift staff to meet time critical emergency response requirements Eliminat -e 30-minute Responders Emergency Plan section numbering in accordance with NUREG-0654 Emergency Plan written to minimize the need for future changesr
Key Changes SBetter alignment of function to facility
-Most Engineering activities relocated to TSC/OSC News writer re-assigned to BOF from JIC to enhance access to time-critical information Eliminate duplicated functions Improved overall ERG response Standardized dose assessment Operations personnel cross-trained to perform certain time-critical radiation protection functions at Prairie,slan~d; under consideration at Monticello Security management added to staffing at EOF nd-~TS C Corn i1tted to Nuclear Excellence
Key Changes Summary Proposed ERO organization modeled after high performing plants Efficiency Effectiveness
- Functions not duplicated in multiple facilities Re-baseline Emergency Plan Licensing Basis
- Ensure appropriate regulatory approval and basis for Emergency Plan Implement changes associated with NUREG["06354-Table B -Iacptle t'-
Common Emergency Plan provides an acpal alternative to each site' s current Plan

Common Emergency Plan Value-Added
'A common Nuclear Emergency Plan will Support continued performance improvement by the Emergency Response Organization (ERG)
Better align ERG Emergency Response Facilities staffing Standardize Response Capabilities
- Facilitate Fleet activities
- Permit leveraging of resources
- Ensure consistent response to emerging reguj1a,~- o direction
- Re-baseline each site's Emergency Plan Lic~sn Basis
