Cumulative Impacts• Impact of regulations and industry activities
on nuclear facilities• NRC SRM:…..”NRC to consider more
completely the overall impacts of multiple rules, orders, …. other regulatory actions on licensees and their ability to focus effectively on items of greatest safety import.”
Industry Response Initiatives
• Industry response Framework: NEI, INPO, EPRI- Incorporation of
several lessons learned
- Training and drills – part of core business
- Integrate with National Response Framework
Beyond Design Basis External Events
“BDBEE”
Beyond Design Basis External Events
• New assumptions:- External Event- Multiple units affected- Extended loss of AC power- Impeded access to the units
Industry Response Initiatives• Assessment of current capabilities• Enhancing and adding capabilities
- Communications & staffing- Training, drills- Facilities, equipment- Multi-unit/source dose assessment- Emergency response procedures- Extended loss of AC power coping
• Strengthening industry response capability …
Flexible & Diverse Coping Strategies - FLEXObjective: establish an indefinite coping capability ….by using • installed equipment, • on-site portable equipment, and• pre-staged off-site resources
FLEX Approach Enhances Safety• FLEX is a system of comprehensive, tailored safety
measures to respond to extreme events• 64 sites around the country maintain backup
portable safety equipment- More portable, backup safety equipment being added at
all 64 plant sites- Regional response centers being developed and equipped
in Memphis and Phoenix• INPO’s expanded emergency center will facilitate
equipment sharing

National Network for Equipment Sharing
• SAFER Committee - All utilities serve as members
• Steering Committee- makes decisions on equipment procurement
• Program Manager- Authorizes engineering contractors (AREVA ) to perform
work as approved by the Committee- Develops POs & procures equipment- Stores the equipment in the Regional Response Centers
Regional Response Center Milestones• 2013
- Finalize equipment list- Select Phoenix facility- Tabletop Callaway & Diablo Canyon- Deliver equipment to Memphis facility
• 2014- Deliver equipment to Phoenix facility- Series of dry runs; 2 air/ground drills
• 2015-16- Phase in RRC support to all sites
