The Clinton Power Station Emergency Plan (Plan) at Section 1.3.1 states that the Plan and the supporting documents are applicable to CPS personnel, IP personnel and emergency response assignments and responsibilities, and vendors or contractors.

- The Plan at Section 1.4 states that the Appendices of the Plan contain supporting

. documents. Appendix B to the Plan contains Emergency Plan implementing Procedure
