Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, NUREG-0814, and Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1. 3. 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) requires a standard emergency classification and action level scheme. Section IV.C, “Activation of Emergency Organization,” of Appendix E identifies the four emergency classes. Section IV.B, “Assessment Actions,” of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 also requires emergency action levels.

However, Revision 4 of NEI 99-01, “Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels,” dated January 2003, is not considered to be entirely applicable to advanced light water reactor designs. Even though the majority of Revision 4 of NEI 99-01 may be applicable to any reactor design and should be used, the unique characteristics of the new reactor should be addressed in the development of emergency action levels specific to the new plant and the site. The format of the emergency action level scheme should follow the convention established in Regulatory Information Summary 2003-18, “Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels,” Revision 4, dated January 2003, and its supplements. Section IV.B. “Assessment Actions,” of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 also requires that the initial emergency actions be discussed and agreed on by the State and local governmental authorities. The applicant should provide some form of confirmation of the agreement, such as a letter signed by State and local governmental
