SUBJECT:

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST RE: REQUEST TO DESIGNATE THE NORTHEAST OHIO REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT A FIRST RESPONDER NRC is responsible for ensuring that the emergency plan submitted by Advanced Medical Systems (AMS) complies with the regulatory requirements in 10 CFR 30.32(1). The term "first responder" is neither defined nor required by that section of our regulations.

However, paragraph (i)(3)(viii) of that section does require, in part, that the AMS emergency plan contain a commitment to and a brief description of the means to promptly notify offsite response organizations when an emergency is declared.

The plan must also contain a commitment to notify the NRC immediately after the appropriate offsite response organizations have been notified.

As a practical matter, the number of offsite response organizations receiving an immediate notification must be kept low, and is typically limited to those organizations with an immediate response function to perform (i.e., extinguish fires, assess releases, shelter / evacuate the.public, etc.).

It is understood that additional organizations may be notified and requested to assist after initial assessments and protective actions have been started. We have consulted with Mr. Larry Grove at the Ohio Emergency Management Agency and we do not consider the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NE0RSD) to have a i

response function requiring immediate notification when an emergency is declared. AMS has committed to notify the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the Ohio Department of Health, and the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. These contacts should be considered as sufficient.
