MEMORANDUM TO: L. Joseph Callan Executive Director for Operations l FROM: John C. Hoyle l
SUBJECT:
STAFF REQUIREMENTS: COMNJD-98-002 - REDUCTION OF
! VULNERABILITIES IN EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS The Commission has decided to establish a policy on training Commissioners to deal l l
l with potential emergencies.
All Commissioners shall become cognizant of the agency emergency procedures and
- responses in a continuing process. The Chairman should participate in at least one full g
- participation exercise each calendar year, including a mock press conferenco. This -
l exercise should be tailored to the Chairman's needs and schedule in' order for the l- Chairman to remain as completely up-to-date ss possible in' any process changes or L problems and to maintain proficiency in emergency response functions. In addition, the L Chairman should serve as the Director of the Executive Team for any full field exercise, due to its broad scope, the significant involvement of Federal agencies, and the infrequent scheduling of this type of exercise. Each Commissioner should have the L opportunity for refresher training on an annual basis, through participation as Director of 4 l exercise per calendar year, the Executive Team in at least one tsttidfs% partia(N* f O ^-
fullpr A preliminary schedule for NRC participation exercises shall be developed in accordance with the Performance Plan. Commissioner participation in scheduled exercises as Director of +he Executive Team shall then be established by AEOD after
! consultation with individual Commissioners to determine availability and interest in i
participation. Schedules of emergency planning exercises will be routinely reported to the Commission during Agenda Planning meetings and discussed, as necessary.
l In the event more than one Commissioner expresses timely interest in participating in an exercise, and they cannot work out a solution among themselves, priority should be given first, to the Chairman receiving his or her first train!ng; second, to a ,
Commissioner receiving his or her first training; third, to I training; and fourth, to Commissionersr training receiving in order refres/e/
of seniority. Chairman

Timely interest in l participation in emergency exercises will normally be expressed in Agenda Planning l l
meetin Once scheduled to participate in an exercise, no Commissioner will be
