1. PURPOSE 1.1 Ob,jective Provide guidance to the Manager of Public Information and the Nuclear News Manager for preparing and issuing news releases during events which activate the Station Emergency Response Organization.

1.2- Discussion News releases are normally prepared by the MPI at the site and the technical content is reviewed by the ADEOE The Nuclear News Manager approves news releases for all events until the EOF is activated.

After EOF activation, the EOF DSEO approves all news releases.

The Station Duty Officer is the public information point of contact in the affected unit control room.

The news release is forwarded to the NNM. The NNM obtains input from the Executive Spokesperson and the State Public Information Organization. The news release is formatted and issued by the NNM.
