As a result, a complete NRG-approved revision of the DAEC Emergency Plan and EAL scheme becomes effective. The current PDEP will be superseded by the DAEC ISFSl-Only Emergency Plan (IOEP). The current EBD will be superseded by the DAEC EBD. Changes to EPIPs will be made to align them with the IOEP and EBD. EPIP 3.3 is no longer needed and is being retired.

Procedure Number and Current Revision:

OP-028, "ERO Offsite Agencies Notification Monthly Test", Rev. 34 DAEC IOEP, "DAEC ISFSl-Only Emergency Plan," Rev. 0 EPI P 1.2, "Notifications", Rev. 57 EPIP 2.3, "Operation of the FTS-2001 Phone Network" - RETIRE EPI P Index, "EPIP Index", Rev. 198 Process/Document Driving Change:

RIS 2000-11, "NRC Emergency Telecommunications System," dated June 30, 2000, provides NRG-approved alternatives to using the FTS 2001.

Brief Description (include why the change is being made):

The NRC has issued Amendment 318 to the Facility License that approved an ISFSl-Only Emergency Plan and EAL scheme for the DAEC. Subsequently, the Control Room is no longer attended. The Emergency Notification System (ENS) phone line requires transition to the Security Building due to continuous staffing requirements. Rerouting of the current FTS 2001 line is an option, however, the site is transitioning to a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system as part of the decommissioning plan. A VoIP system meets the requirements for the ENS as outlined in RIS 2000-11, which states, .Any other telecommunications system or network that can provide long distance access independent of the local telephone switch." Emergency Plan documents are being updated accordingly.
