CCNCEPT OF UTILITY OFFSITE PIANNIN3 EVALUATION CRITERIA J J

1. The concept of "offsite response organization" is adopted and defined as the utility offsite emergency response organization along with other l i

participating voluntary and private organizations and local, State and Federal '

governments engaging in the development of offsite emergency plans for a nuclear power plant. Throughout the revised Evaluation Criteria "offsite response organization" replaces references to State and local governments.

2. In addition, Evaluation Criteria were modified or added to compensate for lack of participation by State and local governments in the planning process, such as:

I a) Identification of the functions and responsibilities for major elements of the anticipated State and local response to an emergency (A.2.a.).

b) Provision of additional personnel to advise and assist State and local officials in an emergency (C.5.) .

c) Provision for advising State and local officials on emergency actions to be taken (D.4., E.6.a, J.10.f.).

d) Provision for coordinating emergency messages, with State and l local governments where possible (E.3.).

e) Provision for notifying the public with a backup A&N system where the licensee is prevented from establishing a primary A&N system (E.6.b.). f i

f) Provision for communications with non-participating State and local emergency operations facilities (F.1.f.) . j g) Provision for public information describing the role of the offsite response organization vs. the State and local organizations during the emergency (G.1.e.).

h) Establishment of an emergency operations center for use in direct,ing and controlling offsite response functions (H.3.) .

.1). Special consideration for the fast breaking General Emergency wbere the offsite organization cannot be activated in time to respond. The licensee would contact directly the State or local gcVernment (J.9. and J.10.d.).

1 j) Provision for participation in exercises and drills by State and local governments that elect to participate in the emergency planning process (N.6.).

i PROPOSED FOR INTERIM USE AND COMMENT Appendix 6 Evaluation Criteria for Utility Offsite Plans The following provides Criteria to be used for the development and evaluation of utility offsite ew rgency response plans and preparedness.

These (The Planning Standards are repeated here 'for convenience.)

Evaluation Criteria modify those applicable to State and Incal Response i organizations and should be used in their place. The Evaluation Criteria applicable to the Licensee are not changed. The following assumptions were used in developing the Evaluation Criteria in this appendix.

In an actual emergency, State and local officials will: i j

1) exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety l

)

of the public

2) cooperate with the utility and follow the utility offsite plan; and,
3) have the resources sufficient to implement those portions of the utility offsite plan where State or local response is necessary. .

Evaluation Criteria

1. a. An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within emergency pre-paredness plans and organizations to the extent possible. The emergency preparedness exercise.shall simulate an emergency that results in offsite radiological releases which will require response by offsite response organizations. Exercises shall be conducted as set forth in NRC and FEMA rules.
b. An exercise shall include mobilization of offsite response organi-zation resources adequate to verify the capability to respond to an accident scenario requiring response. The offsite response organization shall provide for a c.ritique of the biennial exercise' by Federal and offsite response organization observers / evaluators.

The scenario shall be varied from exercise to exercise such that all major elements of the plans and preparedness organizations are tested within a six year period. Each organization shall make provisions to start an exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.

Exercises shall be conducted during different seasons of the year. 1 AtrlIastoneexerciseshallbeunannounced. f

2. A drill is a supervised instruction period aimed at testing, developing and maintaining skills in a particular operation. A drill is often a component of an exercise.
