Catawba Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Revision 97 3 contains the following categories of revisions. Note: These revisions are described in detailin Attachment 1, 1.
Increase the number of RP Technicians on shift from 2 to 3 due to the addition of on shift dose assessment responsibilities, 2.
Added references for the new on shift dose assessment procedure.
3.
Added ERDS as a source of meteorologicalinformation available to the NRC.
i 4.
Added a reference to the Radiation Protection procedure used for recovery / reentry operations.
5.
Revised listing of EPIPs to provide current procedures and titles.
6.
Added updated DOE Savannah River Agreement Letter.
The changes described above do not have an adverse impact on the ability of Catawba or any off site-agencies to reasonably assure that adequate protection can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency; therefore, these changes are not considered to decrease the effectivensss of the Emergency Plan.
