EPlan LAR (cont)
- Emergency Response Organization
- Minimum ERO required positions will be maintained except reactor engineer reactor engineer
- Restoration of equipment supporting spent fuel cooling and inventory will be the primary focus of emergency mitigation actions for the TSC/OSC in a permanently shutdown and actions for the TSC/OSC in a permanently shutdown and defueled condition
- Elimination of credible accidents involving an operating reactor provides additional time to plan and execute assessment and provides additional time to plan and execute assessment and mitigation actions
- The proposed changes do not impact the capability to assess and monitor actual or potential offsite consequences of a and monitor actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency
- Appropriate assessment and mitigation are well within the capabilities of the reduced TSC/OSC/EOF staff capabilities of the reduced TSC/OSC/EOF staff
Post Post-Shutdown EPlan LAR (cont)
