1 NRC Update Nader Mamish, Director Emergency Preparedness Directorate
Division of Preparedness and Response Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response National Radiological Emergency Preparedness Conference Harrisburg, Pennsylvania April 12, 2005

2 NRC Emergency Planning, Preparedness & Response
NRC is a Safety, Security & Emergency Preparedness (EP) Organization Emergency Preparedness Directorate (EPD) Created to Enhance NRC Focus on Integration of Safety, Security & EP EPD Relocated to Nuclear Security & Incident Response (NSIR) to Better Coordinate with Response & Security Activities

3

4 Communications - Internal - External Outreach - Webpage Media Center & Public Information Guidance Interagency International KI/Radiopharm Inspections (SDP/PI) Event Follow-up Regional Support EP Training Development Licensing Actions New Reactor Licensing FOF Exercise Support EP/Security Orders Rulemaking Guidance Revision & Development Generic Communication Development Scientific Studies

5 Security Interface Post-9/11 Changes & Enhancements Onsite Changes
Evaluation of EP Planning Basis Force-on-Force Exercises Consideration of Aircraft Threat EP/Security Communications

6 EP Post-9/11 Environment NRC Recognizes Things Have Changed in Current Threat Environment Challenges for EP in Post-9/11 World Supplemented Design Basis Threat Coordination Among Federal Agencies (Including Dept. of Homeland Security & State DHS offices) National Response Plan

7 Onsite Changes Alternative Facilities Onsite Evacuation Routes
Onsite Protective Actions Staffing Review

8 Evaluation of EP Planning Basis
EP Planning Basis for Nuclear Power Reactors Remains Valid Implementation Can Be Enhanced

9 Force-on-Force Exercises
NRC Conducting Force-on-Force Exercises With EP Participation Tests EP-Operations-Security Interface Exercises Conducted Every 3 Years Lessons Learned by Site EP Programs

10 Exercises Security Exercises With EP Component (FOF)
Significant, But Less Extensive Challenges to EP Interface Detailed Demonstration & Rigorous Analysis of Security Challenges

11 Exercises (cont’d) EP Exercises
Detailed Demonstration & Rigorous Analysis of EP-Operations Challenges Involving Offsite Response Organization (ORO) Participation Security Interface Limited; Terrorism Component Not Required

12 Consideration of Aircraft Threat
NRC Communications Operational Issues Personnel Safety Issues

13 EP Considerations Emergency Declarations
Timing of Events Relative to Notification Recovery From Potential Plant Damage Onsite Protective Actions

14 Enhanced Security Emergency Action Levels (EALs)
Current EAL’s Based on Radiological Consequences Considering EAL Changes Based on Confirmed Threats Current EALs (with exception of security-related EALs) Will Not Be Changed Enhanced Security EALs Enable Licensees to Inform States More Quickly of a Threat

15 Communications Division of Preparedness & Response (DPR) Outreach Team
Enhance Communications & Interactions With Stakeholders Improve Working Relationships & Connectivity Through Outreach Increase Awareness of Programs, Resources & Activities Communicate NRC’s Roles, Responsibilities & Capabilities in Emergency Preparedness & Incident Response

16 Communications Categories of Outreach Pre/Post-Exercise Outreach
Meetings With Government Agencies Meetings With Industry & Licensees Workshops & Conferences Public Meetings Webpage DPR Brochure & Other Public Information Materials Media Center & Public Information Guidance

17 Inspection Programmatic Oversight Reactor Oversight Process (ROP)
Significance Determination Process (SDP) Performance Indicators (PI) Baseline Inspections Event Follow-Up

18 Inspection Restart Criteria & Guidance
Support to NRC Regions in Observing & Evaluating Exercises Programmatic Support to NRC Regions for Inspection Issues EP Training Development

19 Licensing Operating Reactor Licensing Actions
11 Emergency Action Level (EAL) Change Packages Under Review 2 Combined Emergency Operations Facilities Applications Under Review Shift Staffing Changes Non-Power Reactor EP Changes

20 Licensing New Reactor Licensing Early Site Permits (ESPs)
North Anna, Clinton, Grand Gulf New Applications Expected in 2006 Design Certification AP1000, ESBWR (June, 2005) Combined License (COL) Applications EP Inspections, Tests, Analyses & Acceptance Criteria (ITAAC) COL Application Expected in 2007

21 Regulatory Improvements
Top-to-Bottom Review of Emergency Preparedness Program Rulemaking Regulatory Guides Generic Communications NRC-Sponsored Sandia Studies

22 NRC-Sponsored Sandia Studies
NUREG/CR-6864, Identification and Analysis of Factors Affecting Emergency Evacuations, Vols. 1 & 2 NUREG/CR-6863, Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies for Nuclear Power Plants Ongoing Study: Review of NUREG-0654, Supplement 3, 'Criteria for Protective Action Recommendations for Severe Accidents’

23 Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Study
Review of NRC PAR Guidance in NUREG-0654, Supplement 3 Review Sheltering-in-Place Examine Innovative PAR Strategies Involve States/Local OROs in Evaluation 2-Year Project to Examine Technical Issues Changes May Be Recommended
