DOCKET 50-312 fe, RANCHO SEC0 NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION UNIT NO 1 TMI ACTION PLAN - ITEM III.A.1.2 In the District letter of August 3,1981, we indicated our intention of locating our pemanent EOF in a recently purchased facility adjacent to the SMUD General Office, now referred to as the General Office Annex.
Subsequent to this letter, a telephone conversation held between Mr. Ed Williams of the NRC and Mr. Ed Bradley of the District September 24, 1981, indicated that the NRC staff was waiting for additional infomation prior to their completing a report to be presented before the NRC Comission for their approval of this proposed location. Specifically, the NRC staff requests additional information concerning:
1.
State and County concurrence of this proposed location.
2.
Nearsite NRC location.
3.
Offsite relocation area for site parsonnel.
4.
Advantages of locating the EOF at this proposed location.
This letter will address these four issues.

The EOF facility will be used by District personnel for normai daily operations as well as for training and exercises. Use of the
.E0F during normal operations will be limited to activities that will not degrade'E0F activation, operations, or reliability.
. Location, Structure, and Habitability The location provides optimum functional and availability characteristics for i
carrying out the District's functions specified for the EOF (i.e., overall strategic direction of District onsite and support operations, determination of public protective actions to be recomended by the D' strict to offsite officials, and coordination of the District with Federal, State, and County organizations.)
The EOF functions would not be interrupted during radiation releases for which it was necessary to recony4end protective actions for the public to offsite w-
'o f fici al s.
The E0F location is coordinated with State and County authorities.
Staffing and Training The E0F will be staffed to provide the overall management of District resources and the continuous evaluation and coordination of District
- activities during and after an accident. Upon EOF activation, designated personnel will report directly to the EOF to achieve full functional operation very quickly. A senior management person will be in charge of all District activities in the EOF. The EOF staff will include personnel to perform radiological evaluations, and to interface with County and State officials.
