I 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 Sheriff s 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.
PROCEDURE 5.7.6 l REVISION 38 l PAGE 13 OF 16
I 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 Control Room. Upon being contacted by the PADO, the Control Room will ensure that the following is relayed to the PADO:

1.6.2 EAL Number.
1.6.3 Time of EAL Classification.
1.6.4 Brief description of event.
NOTE - Although CNS Notification Reports are automatically faxed to the JIC, they will not be received until the JIC is being set up and the fax machine is plugged in.
1.7 Fax the CNS Initial Notification Report to the PADO (request fax number).
1.7.1 The PADO will request that all Notification Reports be faxed from the Control Room.
1.8 Request a telephone number in which the PADO can be reached.
