• Definition of criteria for facility activation

• Redefinition of minimum staff positions to align with new facility activation criteria

Summary of Proposed Changes

• Revision of On-Shift Staffing to better align with NUREG-0654, Revision 2, Table B-1

• Reduction of the Emergency Action Level (EAL) classification at which the Offsite Survey Teams are dispatched from Site Area Emergency (SAE) to Alert

• Optimize use of Fleet resources in ERO

• Focus TSC Staff on Onsite response

• The CERC will replace the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and Joint Information Center (JIC) for VCS in addition to performing these functions for North Anna and Surry Power Stations

• The CERC is located at the Innsbrook Technical Center in Glen Allen, Virginia, which is >25 miles from the site.

• The CERC has the same access to plant information as current VCS EOF as well as communications capability with applicable state/county response organizations
