I ATTACHMENT 2 NRC COMMUNICATION GUIDE The level of communication between NRC and CNS will depend on the development and the significance of the event.
In Communicating with the NRCOC, attempt the following:
o Take control of communications.
o Direct the NRC to provide single specific questions.
o Write down the question, then verify (e.g., three part communication).
o Provide answer personally only if answer is something you know with certainty and pertains to plant data clarification, general system design, etc.
o Use references (Procedures, Drawings, Manuals, etc.), where applicable, to verify answer. Never say "I think...."; hearsay is unacceptable.
o Other questions should be reviewed with Emergency Director or TSC Director if related to emergency actions or policy (state/counties actions, PARs) prior to releasing information to the NRC.
o As guide to information inquiry: Plant Systems - Ops EOP Advisor, Security -
Security Coordinator, Design Basis - Engineering Coordinator.
The following is a list of sample questions that may be asked during an emergency and should be verified with the Emergency Director prior to reply:
o Is there any change to the classification? If so, what is the reason?
o What is the ongoing/imminent damage to the facility, including affected equipment and safety features?
o Have toxic or radiological releases occurred or been projected, including changes in the release rate? If so, what are the projected on-site and off-site releases, and what is the basis of assessment?
o What are the health effect/consequences to on-site/off-site people? How many on-site/off-site people are/will be affected and to what extent?
o Is the event under control? When was control established or what is the planned action to bring the event under control? What is the mitigative action underway or planned?
o What on-site protective measures have been taken or planned?
o What off-site protective actions have been recommended to State/local officials?
o What is the status of State/local/other Federal agencies' response, if known?
o If applicable, what is the status of public information activities, such as alarm, broadcast, or press releases (CNS/State/local/other Federal agencies)? Has a Joint Information Center been activated?
