Section I.D.2 is reviewed only to assure that a slave of the SPDS is located in the TSC and EOF). 3. A full-scale joint exercise, meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Part IV.F, has successfully demonstrated that the applicant and the State and local organizations are capable of taking adequate protective actions should a radiological emergency occur.29 Technical Rationale:30 The technical rationale for application of the above acceptance criteria to the review of emergency planning is discussed in the following paragraphs. 1. 10 CFR 50.47 and Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 establish the minimum elements to be addressed in emergency planning at various stages of the licensing process. The issuance of a construction permit, operating license, or combined operating license for a nuclear power plant, is based in part, on findings made by the NRC that adequate protection can and will be taken in the event of a radiological accident. Many of the emergency planning and preparedness requirements are a direct result of lessons learned from the Three Mile Island accident. Proper emergency response actions are critical to mitigating the potential adverse impact that a reactor accident may have on the local population and/or the environment. An acceptable basis for NRC licensees, State, and local governments to develop radiological emergency plans and methods to improve their overall state of emergency preparedness have been developed and presented in NUREG-0654 (FEMA-REP-1), Rev. 1. NUREG-0696 provides guidance for complying with requirements in Appendix E Section IV relating to the design of emergency response facilities. NUREG-0718 and Supplement Number 1 to NUREG-0737 provide additional guidance for complying with design and implementation requirements associated with emergency response facilities. In addition, NUREG-1394 provides acceptable methods that may be used to implement and comply with the requirements established in Appendix E(VI) relating to the
