CONCEPT OF UTILITY OFFSITE PLANNING EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. The concept of "offsite response organization" is adopted and defined as the utility offsite emergercy response organization along with other par-ticipating voluntary ud private organizations and local, State and Federal governments engaging in the development of off site emergency ,

plans for a nuclear power plant. Throughout the revised Evaluation l Criteria "offsite response organization" replaces references to State and tocal governments. .

2. In addition, Evaluation Criteria were modified or added to compensate for lack of participat4cn-by State and local governments in the planning process, such as:

a. Identification of the functior,s which require State and local authorization before implementing (A.2.a).

l

b. Provision cf additional personnel to advise and assist State and local officiah in an emergency (C.5). ,

l

c. Provision for advising State and local of ficials on emergency actions to be taken (0.4., E.6.a., J.10.f.).

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

i

e. Provision for communications with non participating State and local l emerger.y operations f acilities (F.1.). 1 l f. h ovi,sion for public information describing the role of the offsite  !

l response organization vs. the State and local organizations during  !

the emergency (G.1.e.).

g. Establishment of an emergency operations center for use in directing j and controlling of f site response functions (H.3.). '

Draft 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 emergency response plans.and preparedness. (The Planning Standards are repeated here for convenience.) These Evaluation Criteria modify those applicable to State and local response organizations and should be used in their place. The following assumptions were used in developing the Evalua-tion Criteria in this appendix.

In an actual emergency, State and local officials will:

1. exercise their best efforts to protect the health and safety 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.

Draft EVALVATION CRITERIA FOR UTILITY OFFSITE PLANS Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria A. Assignment of Responsibility (Organization Control)

Planning Standard Primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee, and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning Zones have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various sup-porting organizations have been specifically established, and each principal response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis. .

Evaluation Criteria

1. a. The offsite plan shall identify the elements of the offsite response organization for Emergency Planning Zones (see Appendix 5).*

b. The offsite response organization shall specify its concept of operations, and its relationship to the total effort. The concept of operation will explain how the offsite response organization will function with non participating State and local governments, and will specify the various modes of operation.

-N. Exercises and Drills planning Standard Periodic exercises are (will be) condudMJ to evaluate major portions of emer-t' gency response capabilities, periodic dri H s are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected.

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. The emergency preparedness exercise shall simulate an emergency that results in offsite radio-logical releases which will require response by offsite response organizations. Exercises sha h'be conducted as set forth in NRC and

~

FEMA rules.

b. An exercise shall incYude mobilization of offsite response organi-zation resources adequate to verify the capability to respond to an accident scenario requiring response. This includes the demonstration ct4k AW l capabilities to interface with non participating State and ,

The offsite response organization shall provide for a critique of the biennial exercise by Federal and offsite response organization obserp rs/ evaluators. The scenario shall be varied from exercise to exercise such that all major elements of the plans and preparednet.s organizations are tested within a six-year period. Each organization shall make provisions to start an exercise between 6:00 p.m. Jod 4:00 a.m. Exercises shall be conducted during different seasons of the year. At least one exercise shall be unannounced.
