SUMMARY

OF CHANGES TO EMERGENCY PLAN

]

Section 1:

Section 1.2.5 was added for consistency with the Drill and Exercise

. Manual.

Four definitions were added or revised to clarify the intent and relationship of the Defueled ERO and the Essential ERO.

Section 2:

Section 2.1 was revised to remove the reference to conditions not warranting emergency classifications beyond that of Alert.

Section 3:

This Section was revised to conform to the intent of NUREG-0654 for fire EALs.

Section 4:

This Section was revised'to clarify the intent to provide radiation protection coverage at the hospital in the event of a contamination injury.

Section 5:

This Section was revised to clarify the relationship between the Defueled ERO and the Essential ERO. Additionally, all references to the Essential ERO in Section 5 were changed to read "Defueled ER0".

Section 6:

No changes were made.

Section 7:

Three minor changes to this Section were requested by county agencies.

In addition, the location of the Emergency News Center (ENC) was changed. The District had planned to relocate the ENC as stated in the

Difficulties associated with relocating dedicated communication equipment resulted in a decision to c

defer relocation and retain the ENC at its present location.

Section 8:

This Section reflects the District's intent to conduct an annual emergency exercise and semi-annual health physics drills.

The scope of each will be commensurate with potential accidents for the defueled condition source term.
