,Mr. F. W.--Linder General Manager 2615 East Avenue - South La Crosse, WI 54601 Gentlemen:
Ihis letter is forwarded to you to bring to your attention the purpose of the two direct and dedicated telephone networks.
i.e., Health Physics Network (HPN) and Emergency Notification (ENS). These systems were installed for government use during an emergency.
.It should be emphasized that the HPN, however, is to be used by you only if you need to reach the NRC and the Emergency Notification ~ System (" hot line") and the commercial systems are
'not operational or available.
Please remind all personnel of the stated purpose of these systems.
Sincerely, a>Ey ames G. Keppler Director

Emergencj Notification System ENS
Purpose:
lThe ENS is intended for'use as the primary means for the site to report emergencies and other significant events to NRC/IE Headquarters. When the NRC.0perations Center is activated in response to a site emergency, the ENS becomes the dedicated and continuous line to the' NRC for the transmission of operational data.
Use: Whenever-there is aL site' event of the type specified in Title 10, Code of
= Federal ' Regulations, Section 50.72, each licensee is required to report the in-cident and status of the plant to the NRC as outlined in the referenced section.
The ENS is the means.for reporting the situation to the NRC.
To activat'e the ENS. the licensee employee needs only to lift the receiver. This causes the telt' hone console in the Operations Center in Bethesda, Maryland to.
ring automatically.
Requirements:
If the incident.has little potential for impacting the public health and safety, the NRC Duty Officer may only collect relevant information and then terminate the conversation.
However, if the event is of a more serious nature, the Duty Officer will maintain an open and-continuous line with the site until the -
matter is resolved. Licensees are required to assign an individual to maintain continuous communication with the NRC staff member in the Operations Center until the NRC decides that-the event has been successfully terminated or additional l
communication is unnecessary.
