The proposed changes to the plan will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).

Attachment I is the analysis of the proposed Radiation Emergency Plan change.Attachment II is a Cross Reference of Emergency Plan Changes to Attachment I Section 2.0.Virgil C. Summer Station. Post Office Box 88- Jenkinsville, SC -29065. F (803) 941-9776 /k, I -.
