15.1 INTRODUCTION

This section provides an introduction to the contents of this chapter based on the

graded approach and includes objectives and scope specific to the chapter as

developed.

15.2 REQUIREMENTS

This section lists the design codes, standards, regulations, and DOE Orders that are

required for establishing the safety basis of the facility. The intent is to provide

only the requirements that are specific for this chapter and pertinent to the safety

analysis, and not a comprehensive listing of all industrial standards or codes or

criteria. SRIDs may be referenced as appropriate.

15.3 SCOPE OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

This section summarizes the spectrum of emergencies that the EPP is designed to

encompass. Focus discussions on demonstrating that emergency preparedness

planning adequately encompasses the facility hazards discerned in the hazard

analysis. Use of bounding categories of emergencies (i.e., fire, spills, crit icality)

and bounding consequences from emergencies should be sufficient for

documenting the scope of emergency preparedness.

15.4 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLANNING

This section summarizes facility emergency preparedness planning. The summary

should include activation of emergency organizations, assessment actions,

notification processes, emergency facilities and equipment, protective actions,

training and exercises, and recovery actions.

15.4.1

Emergency Response Organization

This section summarizes the eme rgency response organization that is activated

in case of onsite and offsite operational emergencies. Delineate authorities and

responsibilities of key individuals and groups, and identify the communication

chain for notifying, alerting, and mobilizing the necessary personnel. Identify

the position of the person with the overall responsibility for directing

emergency responses. This summary may be provided in this chapter or

Chapter 17, "Management, Organization, and Institutional Safety Provisions."

Describe interrelationships with federal, state, tribal, and local organizations

for offsite emergency response and for the protection of the environment and

the public. Briefly summarize and reference any prearranged plans,

agreements, understandings, and/o r other arrangements for mutual assistance
