Introduction:

SNC has overall responsibility for maintaining a state of readiness to implement this Plan for the protection of plant personnel, the general public, and property from hazards associated with any facility operated by the company. The authority for planning, developing, and coordinating emergency control measures is derived from being the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license holder for the nuclear power plants operated by SNC.The SNC Emergency Plan describes the organization and facilities, training, and maintenance of both onsite and off-site facilities and equipment that will be used to address a wide spectrum of accidents ranging from minor onsite incidents to those that could affect the general public.The commitment wording was standardized and relocated to the SNC Standard Emergency Plan.E12-4 Enclosure 12 to NL-1 5-1 392 Vogtle (Units 1 & 2) Justification Matrix Current Vogtle Emergency Plan Revised SNC Emergency Plan Justification Revision 63 Section Al1: The VEGP emergency EP B.1.1: The Shift Manager (SM) is in direct The commitment wording was standardized and response is carried out under the charge of shift plant operations and is directly relocated to the SNC Standard Emergency Plan.control of the emergency director.

The EEOC will be established at the Burke County Emergency Operations Center (EQOC) Building, on the corner of Georgia Highway 24 and Perimeter Road in Waynesboro.

Upon the decision of the GEMA director to activate the FEOC, the GEMA Mobile Communications Vehicle (MCV) may be dispatched to Burke County and arrive within driving time plus 30 mai for mobilization.

When dispatched, it may be used to transport certain State responders.

The GEMA MCV will be located adjacent to the Burke County EOC and will provide support services to State agencies at the FEOC. The Burke County EOC has the necessary electrical hook-ups to provide long term electrical services to the vehicle.In addition to providing backup for the communications described in the preceding paragraph, the MCV provides backup communications for State agencies other than GEMA (Department of Transportation, the Georgia State Patrol, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources

-Law Enforcement Section, and the Georgia Forestry Commission).

In addition, the MCV has an onboard weather station that can provide wind speed and direction, barometric pressure and relative humidity.

It also has micro down-link capabilities and a video camera system. _______________________

Section N: For periodic drills, the process consists of the following steps: 1. Drills will be evaluated by controllers/evaluators selected on the basis of expertise and availability.

2. Improper or incorrect performance during the drill may be corrected by the controller/evaluator and the proper method pointed out or demonstrated.
3. The exercise or drill controllers assemble the players at the conclusion of activities for a critique.Players are encouraged to identify areas where improvements are required.

The drill controllers also presents their observations to the players.4. The site emergency preparedness supervisor submits a list of corrective actions, responsibilities, and schedule information to the site support manager for approval.5. The emergency preparedness supervisor assigns action items and monitors the status of completion of corrective actions. Significant problems will be brought to the attention of appropriate plant management.

Exercise evaluation and corrective action are carried out in similar fashion.EP N.4: A critique shall be conducted at the conclusion of the exercise, to evaluate the organization's ability to respond as_ called for in the SNC Standard Emergency Plan. Qualified personnel will observe and perform a critique of exercises and drills. Provisions will be made for federal, state, and local observers, as well as SNC personnel, to observe and critique required exercises.

Biennially, representatives from the NRC observe and evaluate the licensee's ability to conduct an adequate self-critical critique.

For partial and full offsite participation exercises, the NRC and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), will observe, evaluate, and critique.Drill and exercise performance objectives will be evaluated against measurable demonstration criteria.

As soon as possible following the conclusion of the drill or exercise, a critique is conducted to evaluate the ability of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO)to implement the emergency plan and procedures, and a formal evaluation will result from the critique.A written critique report is prepared by the Emergency Preparedness group following a drill or exercise involving the evaluation of designated objectives or following the final simulator set with ERO participation.

The report will evaluate the ability of the ERO to respond to a simulated emergency situation.

The report will also contain corrective actions and recommendations.
