EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
[The executive summary should be an overview that describes the overall physical and administrative features and functions of the ANS. If the ANS evaluation report is being updated from a previous version, it should also include a summary of the changes from the previous version.]
ANS Evaluation Report Section 1: ANS Plan 7
[Jurisdiction/Site]
[PROTECTIVE MARKING, AS APPROPRIATE]
SECTION 1: ANS PLAN This section is comprised of the information that is provided to satisfy planning standards E and F found in both 44 CFR 350.5(a) and 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the associated NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 2 evaluation criteria which focuses on the administrative means of the system(s). A copy of the ANS plan1 should be attached to this evaluation report.
A description of the following points for the system(s) should be addressed in this section:2 Licensing Obligation
[Any obligations or concessions contained within the licensing agreement.]
Description of System Means
[A description of all systems, how they are being employed, their capabilities including backup capabilities, and how they relate to other systems.]
Methods
[Description of the methods used to alert and notify, how they are being employed and how they relate to other methods. The description should indicate which methods are considered primary and which are back-up (i.e., those used to correct or compensate for failures, including total failure, for any segment of the population that did not receive the alert and/or notification).
Authority
[Derived Authority to operate the system, may be described in the Administration.]
Administration
[Identify the organization(s) and/or individual(s) responsible for management and oversight of the system.]
Requirements/Function Operations Activation Procedure(s) - [The steps required to activate the system(s) by authorized users.]
Process(es) - [The decision-making process to receive information, decide, and act regarding ANS operations.]
1 If no formal ANS plan exists, a collection of information should still be provided.
2 Depending of the design and relationship between the nuclear power plant (NPP) and the offsite response organization (ORO), the descriptions and associated documentation may be duplicative. The duties and obligations of the operations and functions may be shared in part or whole by either party and cannot be accurately reviewed without studying the entire ANS evaluation report.

Verification
[Verification refers to documenting that the system or approach meets the design report requirements identified above. The need to verify applies to implementation of both new and modified systems and approaches. Information provided here should objectively demonstrate that the system or approach meets the stated requirements, which can be verified by tests, inspections, demonstrations, analysis, studies, or any other applicable method. Each of the requirements identified should have a description of the corresponding verification process.]
Coverage - [The coverage (extent or reach) of the ANS can be verified through modeling of the ANS medium (e.g., radio, tone alerts, visual alerts, etc.) using existing accepted sources and databases, empirical data through testing, or other recognized means of verification.]
Population/Demographics - [Population and demographic information may be verified by identifying credible sources used for the population data. Credible sources may include census data, city or county records, local/tribal organization records, etc.]
Availability/Reliability
[Description of how failures are detected and tracked/trended, how the system is tested and maintained, and how vulnerabilities are identified, mitigated, and reported.]
