Memorandum Date: February 18, 2016 To: Nuclear Generation Department Employees From: CNO Name

Subject:

Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Expectations I appreciate your important role in the Emergency Response Organization (ERO). The ERO is vital to protecting the health, safety, and property of the general public and our teammates.

Every role on the ERO is an essential element for a well-organized response in the event of an emergency at one of our nuclear sites.

Fleet ERO performance has been improving however, it still does not meet our expectations or industry standards for top quartile performance. Recent examples include: Alert Notification Siren issues and sporadic fleet Drill and Exercise performance in the area of classifications, notifications and protective action recommendations.

I am asking that we all commit to improving our ERO performance.

Please review the attached ERO expectations. If you have any questions concerning your ERO role and responsibilities, please contact your supervisor, your ERO position owner, John Smith (EP Corporate Functional Area Manager) at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, or me.

Thank you in advance for your dedicated and professional participation in the Emergency Response Organization.

1.0 EXPECTATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES During declared emergencies and unannounced drive-in drills, all ERO position members are expected to respond to their designated emergency response facility (regardless of on-call status) unless they are on vacation or assignment out of the area of the plant, not fit for duty, or unable to leave family members unattended.

1.1 Managers/Supervisors

1. Provide the leadership necessary to ensure that fleet/site management and employees understand the importance of a well implemented emergency preparedness program to protect the public health and safety and remain engaged to ensure that a self-critical, self-identifying culture exists across the fleet/site.
2. Provide the leadership necessary to ensure that ERO performance is sustained at the highest level of industry (top quartile) standards, as measured by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Drill and Exercise Performance (DEP), Drill Participation, and Alert and Notification System (ANS)

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs.)

3. Support your staff members by ensuring that a high priority is placed on the duties and responsibilities of their ERO position/support role.
a. Ensure on-shift and augmented emergency response positions are fully staffed with trained, qualified, knowledgeable, and proficient personnel.

Maintaining knowledge and proficiency levels often require going beyond the minimum ERO qualification activities.

b. Ensure adequate ERO position staffing levels are maintained during shared resource outage support, vacation periods, and other (e.g., INPO, etc.) temporary assignments.
c. Ensure adequate staffing is available during the conduct of drill and exercise activities (e.g., scenario development and validation, players, controllers, and/or evaluators and post-drill/exercise critiques).

1.1 Managers/Supervisors (continued)

4. Ensure that Equipment Important to Emergency Response is maintained, using the appropriate fleet/site processes.
a. Identify and promptly report deficiencies, repairs, changes, or improvements in facilities, systems, and equipment, near misses, and precursor events related to emergency response.
b. Ensure that those issues are captured in the applicable work management, Fleet Observation Program and/or Corrective Action Program.
5. Job Postings for new hires or positions to be filled should contain the specific ERO responsibility the candidate will be expected to fill. In addition, any time requirement and on-call (fitness for duty) requirements should also be specified.

1.2 ERO Position Owners

1. For defense in depth, ERO Position Owners should strive to maintain their assigned positions four deep at single-unit sites and five deep at multi-unit sites.

Some ERO position members may be in pool positions and not assigned to specific teams.

2. When an ERO position vacancy occurs, the ERO Position Owner should:
a. Identify a candidate to qualify for the position.
b. Ensure ERO Team changes or ERO position changes are reviewed and approved by the candidates Supervisor, and the EP organization.
c. Work with the individual, their supervisor, and the EP organization to develop a training and drill participation plan to target qualifying the individual in a timely manner (typically within 120 days of assignment).

Use tracking assignments to assign and monitor progress.

1.3 ERO Members

1. All ERO members are expected to comply with the company's Fitness-For-Duty (FFD) program.
2. Keep your ERO notification device (e.g., cell phone) on or near you at all times, ensuring that the device is adequately maintained (e.g., charged). This includes keeping the device on (in audible mode), unless you are in a training or meeting setting, then it shall be maintained in a silent mode such that you can still be made aware of an emergency event.
3. Maintain your ERO position qualifications up to date. This includes ERO position training as well as Plant Access Training, Radiation Worker Training, respiratory protection, and SAMG as appropriate to your ERO position.
4. Participate during drills and exercises, as scheduled and required.
a. All ERO position players, controllers and evaluators are required to attend the pre-drill or exercise briefings and the post-drill and exercise critiques.
b. If you are unable to support participation in the scheduled drill or exercise you must:
  • Identify a replacement ERO position player, controller or evaluator who has consented to the change.
  • Obtain permission from the EP Manager, the replacements supervisor and your supervisor.
  • Coordinate a new drill date in the calendar year for your ERO position participation.
5. Following a large scale natural disaster on site, all ERO personnel should respond to their Emergency Response Facility or their designated alternate site if their Emergency Response Facility is inaccessible, as soon as safely possible.

This is not dependent upon receiving an initial ERO notification.

6. REMAIN proficient to carry out your ERO duties and responsibilities.
7. Promptly update your personal information in the appropriate employee database with any changes (e.g., address, home/cell telephone number) and also provide that information to the EP organization.

1.3 ERO Members (continued)

8. Many ERO support role opportunities exist (e.g., scenario development team, controller/evaluator team, maintenance and communications testing, inventory kit surveillance), beyond an assigned ERO position. This enables all staff members the opportunity to fully support the ERO.

1.4 ERO Position On-Call Requirements

1. Minimum ERO staff (i.e., the minimum ERO staff members required in an emergency response facility in order to declare the facility operational per each sites' emergency response place), shall be designated as On-Call. Additional ERO staff members (i.e., full staff) may also be designated as On-call.
2. ERO Position staff On-Call requirements:
