HNP Respuder NE eml>cr 1996 An ERO newsletter published by IIarris Plant Emergency Preparedness Drill evaluations prompt EP changes As a result of the evaluations of our recent Emergency Preparedness drills, the EP group on site is working to improve the efficiency of our Emergency Response Organization (ERO). To achieve that goal, a member of IINP senior plant management will be personally responsible for and involved in all aspects of each of our emergency facilities, including staffing, facilities, procedures and training. Bill Robinson will be in ch nge of j

the EOF, Joe Donahue will have the TSC, Steve Sewell will be responsible fra the Control Room, Susan Crutchfield will be in charge of the JIC and Bo Clark will be tes ponsible for the OSC.

In addition, EP strff members have been assigned personal responsibility for each facility:

Ron Varley for the EOF, Iloward Kellogg for the TSC, Amy Moss for the OSC, Ralph j

Bassett for the Control Room and Tami Causey for the JIC.

Another way we'll improve our efficiency as an ERO is to conduct tabletop seminars in each of our facilities (EOF, TSC, OSC and JIC) before the end of the year. Each facility will have one tabletop with the members of all four ERO shifts at once. Before these tabletop sessions and drills are conducted, each member of the ERO should review the procedures applicable to his or her position. The tabletops are scheduled for the following dates and times:

Inside Emergency Operations Facility Nov. 21 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.

Technical Support Center Dec. 5 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.

Operations Support Center Dec.12 9:30 - 11:30 a.in.

• ERO schedule changes Joint Information Center Dec. 5 8:00 - 10:30 a.m. (IIEEC boardroom)

• Monday notifications An additional seminar will be held Dec.17 for all four shifts of ERMs, SECS, ERDs, PODS and Company Spokespersons.

• Drill evaluator program For four successive Timrsdays, beginning Jan. 9,1997, we will conduct a series of training

• Mentoring program drills for the ERO that will allow us to stop drill play at critical points in the scenario to discuss and critique our performance on the spot.

By the completion of the January drills, the EP unit's goal is to have identified and trained enough people to fully staff all four shifts of the ERO. The additional drills and tabletop seminars should also give ERO members a chance to see how their counterparts on other teams handle problems and difficult situations, and learn best practices from each other.

(See page 3 to find out about more programs designed to increase ERO efficiency.)

Monday notification of duty With t.,a new ERO shift schedule changes, you might have a little trouble at first remembering which week you have EP duty. To help wid1 the change, the llNP Dialogic System will call key ERO members (via pagers and work phones) Monday mornings at 7:45 to remind those members that they are on EP duty for the week. Please call die EP group if you are notified improperly. If you have any comments about this new function, please contact Howard Kellogg at x2145.

ERO duty schedule changes In response to an issue raised by many ERO members, beginning Nov.18, the assigned duty weeks for ERO duty have been shifted. Because ERO assignments are based on a f ur-shift team rotation, the same team is always on duty during major holidays each year.

/ lh[N*.

Beginning in 1997, ERO members from other shifts will be used as evaluators during)N v.

emergency drills. For example, the JIC Communicator from "A" Team may evaluate hiV '"SF' 3/

or her counterpart in the EOF during a "B" Team drill.

Md M. 5h-y 5

g Not only will this increase the number of available evaluators for EP drills, but it shoulb

benefit the ERO members as well by increasing exposure to drills and exercises. It will j

{/

also allow us to achieve more consistency between teams as evaluators see what pracdces y%

are in use by their counterparts on other teams.

Mentoring program Re mentoring program is a new addidon to ERO training. When a new person is added to the ERO, he or she will review and sign the required lesson plans and procedures and attend specific classroom training if needed. Dat's been our approach to EP training all

along, In addidon, key ERO posidons will be assigned a mentor-semeone who already has experience in that position. For example, if a new employee is assigned to be the JIC Technical Spokesperson on "C" Team, he or she would have someone who has already

)

played that role as a mentor. The mentor and tralace will go to the appropriate facility (EOF, TSC, OSC or JIC) and spend time discussing the facility, equipment and position responsibilities. Den the trainee will take part in a drill before becondng qualified as an ERO member.

1 Re benefits are obvious-learning about your ERO position from someone who already knows the job firsthand will be a big help in training, and will also help to achieve more consistency between ERO teams as best practices and techniques are developed.

CP&L donates new boats for emergency l

use on Harris and Jordan Lakes 1

13cfore the end of the year, CP&L will donate five new boats to local agencies for use in l

emergency notifications on liarris and Jordan Lakes. Two of the boats will go to the Wake County Sheriffs Department, two will go to the NC Wildlife Commission, and the fifth boat will be donated to the NC Parks Department.

I i

When the flatris Plant began commercial operation in 1987, we donated five boats to these l

agencies for use in emergency notifications connected with liarris Emergency l

Preparedness, and now it's time to replace them. Two of the boats have already been l

delivered to the plant and the rest will arrive later this month. Once the emergency eqwpment from the old boats is transferred to the new ones, the boats will be delivered to j

the agencies.

l Some of the older boats will be refurbished and donated to local response agencies for uses not related to the liarris Plant EP program.

l 1997 calendars are here This month, Ilarris Plant employees and residents within our 10-mile N

EPZ will receive new 1997 Ilarris Plant safety calendars.

l The calendars feature photos and descriptions of North Carolina and South Carolina state parks and include important safety information for our neighbors.

' Die calendar project manager for this year was Lisa Tutor, ilNP Site Communications Staff. The calendar design was by Donna Kanna in Corporate Communications and Community Relations in the General Office.

i Recatly Bill Rsbinson reemphasized the responsibility that each cfus has to i

• s'upport our Emergency Preparedness activities. He also outlined measures we are taking to improve our depth in some positions and our overall proficiency in all j positions. I want to add to Bill's comments on this important issue.

Many of you will be getting noti 6 cations of expected reading, training sessions, table top drills and tests for ERO qualification. When you get these notices, you ~ _ may discover that you,are slated to 511 a new position, moved to a new facility, or, in some cases, added to the roster for the first time. nese changes were made after considering the needs of the entire ERO, notjust individual facilities. We needed to increase our t'echnical expertise in some positions, we needed to improve our bench strength in others, and we wanted to give some folks the opportunity to try new positions as part of their rotational training. No one was " demoted." Every position in the ERO is important. In order to make our overall Emergency Preparedness program as successful as possible, we simply broadened our focus and looked at each facility as part of a greakr organization and each position as a member of a greater team. As Bill stated, we are going to do a betterjob of training people for their EP positions and giving them more practice in their s. gee facilities using the equipment and mateirials they will be using if should there ever be a real emergency. We've increased accountability for making this happen. Each position will have a
