  7. Disposition of Proposed Changes to REP Program Manual

  8. REP-10 • Principal guidance document on Alert and Notification • Undergoing a significant revision • Re-entered into the concurrence/public comment process on March 22 • Taking REP-10 in new direction, i.e., more of an outcome-based perspective • Instead of prescribing technical requirements, will emphasize results • Bottom-line: Whether the requisite objectives are achieved, regardless of the system(s) utilized

  9. Hostile Action-Based Exercises • HAB scenario exercises are required to be performed once every 8 years. • Exercises includes new planning standards, which will allow law enforcement to communicate directly with utilities. • April 15, 2013 • First scheduled HAB Exercise at Three Mile Island • FEMA has developed the HAB Best Practices Guide to assist OROs.

  10. IPAWS Integration • Objective: To facilitate the integration of IPAWS into approved Alert and Notification Systems for both REPP and CSEPP • IPAWS is a nationwide initiative that is currently in the process of deployment nationwide • Pilot programs initiated in KY and CO • IPAWS presented at all four scheduling conferences • Kickoff completed in IL • Joint Presentation at Regulatory Information Conference completed

  11. NIMS/ICS • Integration of onsite and offsite preparedness with NIMS/ICS under a HAB scenario • FEMA issue as it regards to ORO exercise activities • OROs already use the NIMS/ICS model in their response activities as we have seen in their plans • There has been discussion regarding how can FEMA/NRC require the licensee to use NIMS/ICS in their response plans • The interface between the licensee and the ORO would be improved by requiring the licensee to adopt NIMS/ICS
