ATTACHMENT 6 INFORMATION SHEET
- 1. DISCUSSION "1.1 All notifications and communications will be handled from the Control Room (CR) until the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) are activated. The responsibility of generating press releases to the media may be transferred to NPPD Corporate Communications Department personnel prior to activation of the Joint Information Center (JIC).
1.2 During a declared Emergency at CNS, Emergency notifications to the State of Nebraska; State of Missouri; Atchison County, Missouri; and Nemaha County, Nebraska are accomplished through the State Notification Telephone System.
The CNS State Notification Telephone System is a conference-calling system.
When the handset to this hotline is picked up, and the "Group Call" button is pushed, dedicated telephones will automatically ring at Nebraska State Patrol, Missouri Highway Patrol, Atchison County Sheriffs Department, and Nemaha County Sheriffs Department. The utilization of law enforcement agencies as initial points of contact provides for 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coverage. The dedicated lines listed also have extension lines which ring at the following facilities respectively: Nebraska Emergency Management Agency EOC, Missouri State Emergency Management Agency EOC, Atchison County EOC, and Nemaha County EOC. Once the EOCs become operational, notifications may be made using the extension lines at the EOCs with concurrence between the respective EOC and law enforcement agency.
1.3 Notifications to the NRC are normally accomplished through the Emergency Notification System (ENS). The Emergency Notification System is a dedicated telephone system which is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> by the Duty Officer at the NRC Headquarters Operations Center.
1.4 During any notification activity, if the primary communications system fails, communication methods shall be attempted such as alternate telephones, National Warning System (NAWAS), base station radio, or relay through a third party. Alternate telephone numbers are listed in the Emergency Telephone Directory.
1.5 At an ALERT or higher emergency classification, to receive continuous and detailed information, the NRC will likely request an open line of communication with the Control Room (CNS) until the TSC is operational.
I PROCEDURE 5.7.6 1 REVISION 36 1 PAGE 13 OF 15 j
ATTACHMENT 6 INFORMATION SHEET 1.6 The Public Affairs Duty Officer (PADO) shall be notified by pager by the CNS ANS and instructed to contact the Shift Communicator in the Control Room.
Upon being contacted by the PADO, the Shift Communicator will ensure all information from the Initial CNS Notification Report is relayed to the PADO.
In such cases, that it is not feasible to relay the information via telephone in a timely manner, the Notification Report may be faxed to the PADO. PADO functions shall be superseded by the activation of the Joint Information Center (JIC). The JIC shall receive follow-up information from the Technical Information Coordinator in the EOF.
1.7 The On-Call Emergency Preparedness Coordinator should assume the responsibility of coordinating press releases after being notified and responding to a Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE).
1.7.1 Assist the Shift Communicator in ensuring communications are established with the PADO and information from the CNS Notification Reports is relayed to the PADO per Procedure 5.7.23.
1.7.2 This responsibility shall be for the period immediately after the declaration of the NOUE and continue until the responsibility is transferred to appropriate NPPD Corporate Communications Department personnel.
1.7.3 Any press release that is generated during this period should be reviewed and approved by the Emergency Director.
1.8 Authorized Representatives of the Governors of Nebraska and Missouri may be represented in the EOF and set up Forward Command Posts at some other location.

I PROCEDURE 5.7.24 REVISION 20 1 PAGE 13 OF 15
"ATTACHMENT4 INFORMATION SHEET DISCUSSION 1.1 This procedure is a Reference Use procedure. The Shift Supervisor or TSC Director, as applicable, shall be responsible for ensuring that all applicable steps are performed. Checklists (attachments) are included to ensure that each activity is addressed. There may be instances where the Emergency Medical Team, using their best judgment, may deviate from the procedure to provide the best possible medical care.
1.2 During a medical emergency, the most important consideration is the health of the patient(s). Where practical, efforts to prevent or minimize the spread of contamination shall be practiced.
1.3 This procedure assumes that any patient within a Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) is potentially contaminated. During a plant emergency, areas normally free of contamination, may be contaminated. Decontamination attempts per Procedure 9.RADOP.7 shall be consistent with the severity of the medical concerns and the medical care giver (EMT or First-Aid trained responder) is the final authority on whether decontamination will be attempted.
1.4 This procedure is applicable to CNS employees and contractor personnel.
1.5 Letters of agreement have been obtained from medical facilities and ambulance services to provide care and treatment to injured CNS personnel, including those who are potentially contaminated. Names and telephone numbers for these facilities can be found in the CNS Emergency Telephone Directory.
1.6 This procedure relies on the Incident Command structure. This structure is used by Control Room staff in response to station fires. Personnel other than Operations personnel may also be trained and used as Incident Commanders for medical emergencies.
