Docket:
50-298 Nebraska Public Power District ATTN: George A. Trevors Division Manager - Nuclear Support P. O. Box 499
' Columbus, NE 68601 Gentlemen:
The Region IV staff has completed review of the emergency plan changes which you submitted to this office by letter dated May 29, 1987. The emergency plan changes do not appear to decrease the effectiveness of the Cooper Nuclear Station Emergency Plan.
There are areas which should be clarified or better defined in your next Emergency Response Plan change.
It is requested that you make the correction to your plan and procedures in your next plan or procedure change.
Section 5 - Organizational Control of Emergencies
- p. 5-8 First sentence - The OSCs should be added to the emergency response facilities that are activated at an Alert.
I
- p. 5-9 List of key positions supporting the Emergency Director - According to Figure 5.2-2, the Control Room. Director reports to the TSC Director -- not the Emergency Director, F age 5-9 and Figures 5.2-2, S.2-3,. 5.3-2 should be consistent l
with regard to the functional reporting organization and l
interrelationships.
- p. 5-10 Note 1 of Figure 5.2-3 and various other sections - The Emergency Director has the option of locating:in the Control l
Room, TSC or E0F throughout the emergency.
To. accomplish the l
functions assigned solely to this position, an Emergency Director must be able to interface directly with the staff who are providing the information needed to make decisions-regarding those functions.
Interfacing with several persons over the phone can cause delays in critical decisions. The purpose of emergency response facilities (ERF) is to gather all the personnel and equipment in one place in order to' perform a-specific function in. a timely fashion. The purpose of the ERFs is lost when-the decisionmaker and the technical support staff-are in different locations. The location'for the Emergency Director should be whe ( :9 information and support' staff necessary to perfor I e unctions of.the Emergency Director.

Section 6'- Emergency Measures 1
Table 6.5.-1,- The difference between planned and unplanned exposures-during a response to an emergency is' difficult to define. The criteria:

- p. 9-1 The Vice-President-Nuclear or his designee is not listed as a member of the Recovery Panel, which is inconsistent 'with Corporate Nuclear Emergency Procedure 5.0, Recovery.
