ire prior NRC approval if it reduces the ability of the critique to adequately identify weaknesses in the ERO play and to carry out necessary corrective actions. An example would be a critique process that does not identify and formally evaluate any deviation in the ERO performance expected by the DG-1324, Page 35 scenario. The licensee needs to evaluate such situations to determine whether the scenario was wrong or whether the ERO was wrong. In either case, the licensee needs to evaluate the situation and take the appropriate corrective actions. d. A change in the overall exercise program schedule would generally not require prior NRC approval provided that the program continues to meet the scheduling requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. 4.15 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15)—Emergency Responder Training a. The regulation at 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) states the following: Radiological emergency response training is provided to those who may be called on to assist in an emergency. b. The following emergency planning function has been defined for this planning standard: Training is provided to emergency responders. c. Sections IV.F.1–2 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 supply supporting requirements. Informing criteria appear in Section II.O of NUREG-0654 and the licensee’s emergency plan. The following are examples of changes to the licensee’s emergency plan that could require prior NRC approval: (1) A change in ERO training could require prior NRC approval if it does not provide ERO personnel sufficient training and other performance development opportunities related to their assigned functions and responsibilities to allow them to perform those functions and responsibilities acceptably before they are assigned to key ERO positions and periodically as long as they continue to be so assigned. Examples include the following: (a) a change that reduces the frequency of required training that is not supported by demonstrated ERO performance in drills and exercises or by the
