ATTACHMENT DEFICIENCY 458/8580-03 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The ability of the River Bend Station Emergency Response Organization to perform dose assessment activities and to determine an appropriate Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) was demonstrated during the February 25, 1987 NRC evaluated full-scale emergency preparedness exercise. These functions were completed in 9 minutes (1335 to 1344) and included discussions, coordination and concurrence with representatives of the Louisiana Nuclear Energy Division. As indicated during both the CSU critique and the NRC exit meeting, the time delays are caused by the inherent problems associated with communicating verbally over the RBS State and Local Hotline with five local governments and state agencies from the States of Louisiana and Mississippi.

CSU is currently pursuing an alternate method for making these notifications so that a hardcopy of the approved notification message form with PAR's would be transmitted to all points in a shorter timeframe.

In response to the question relative to offsite concerns, the PAR flow chart in Emergency Implementing Procedure (EIP)-2-007 (Attachment 2) will be revised during the current and ongoing annual review of the RBS Emergency Plan and EIP's. The change to the PAR flow chart will make it clear that review of these notes is not mandatory and should be reviewed only if time permits and such review would not interfere with a timely and accurate transmittal of PAR's to offsite officials.
