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-~TSC Corn 1itted 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 'I4
