-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, and through it NUREG-0396, and NUREG-0696. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, establishes an acceptable basis for NRC licensees and State, tribal and local governments to develop radiological emergency plans and procedures, and improve their overall state of emergency preparedness. NUREG-0696 discusses the facilities and systems to be provided by nuclear power plant licensees to aid the licensee’s response to emergency situations. Additional guidance is provided in NUREG-0718,6 NUREG-0737, 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. The emergency plan should include the emergency classification level scheme described in Appendix 1 and Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654. The staff anticipates that any new application will use an emergency action level scheme similar to that described in Revision 4 of NEI 99-01, “Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels,” dated January 2003, which was endorsed in Revision 4 Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.101, “Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors,” dated October 2003. 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
