This document supports public information activities at the Joint Public Information Center (JPIC) and contains the response of the JPIC to classified emergencies of Alert and higher. Additionally, NMC management may activate the JPIC and implement portions of this plan and its procedures for Unusual Events or newsworthy events. The JPIC is located in the Wisconsin Public Service corporate offices at 700 N. Adams Street in Green Bay Wisconsin. Notice to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Public Information Officer (PIO) will be made when events related to the health and safety of the public onsite personnel, or protection of the environment occur that prompts, a news statement or notification to other government agencies. 2.0 DISCUSSION This plan addresses public information activities ONLY and is coordinated with the KPB Emergency Plans. The focus of this document is to formulate, organize and implement all public information measures for the KPB internal and external publics. The audiences include the public through the news media plant owner companies, Nuclear Management Company (NMC), federal, state & local government officials and agencies; financial, insurance and legal associations; other utilities and industry organizations; and KPB employees. This plan outlines the approach and basis for the KPB response, providing a framework for responders to conduct operations such that they are accessible to members of the media. This includes frequent emergency status updates; prompt, accurate answers to questions; control of rumors or clarification of misunderstood news reports; and assistance with equipment, telephones, lodging or food at emergency facilities. Detailed actions to be taken by response personnel are outlined in the implementing procedures. This plan and associated implementing procedures are in accordance with all applicable regulations and official guidance, including NUREG 0654, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Guidance Memorandums and REPs, (REP-I) and INPO Communications guidance. These documents are kept on file at KPB. Page 3 of 11 | KEWAUNEE/POINT BEACH NUCLEAR NEPIP 1.0 NUCLEAR EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION PLAN Revision 1 AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURE February 6, 2002 NUCLEAR EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION PLAN 3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 The responsibilities of all JPIC responders include: knowing the basics of the overall KPB emergency plans, NEPIPs and procedures, and knowing their specific responsibilities in the response procedures. Participation in training sessions, exercises and/or drills, and actual emergencies is required of responders in order to maintain an ongoing state of preparedness. JPIC ERO must meet the training requirements as detailed in the KPB Emergency Preparedness (EP) Training Program. 3.2 The Site Communications Manager has the primary responsibility for the oversight of the NEPIPs, state of readiness for the associated emergency response facilities, and assignment and qualifications of the JPIC ERO. These efforts shall be coordinated with KPB Emergency Preparedness. 4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 Emergency Classifications There are FOUR emergency classifications for nuclear power plants. Appendix 19.0 and Appendix 20.0 show the most recent statistics on declared emergencies in the United States. In the order of worsening condition, the emergency classifications are: 4.1.1 Unusual Event It is the LOWEST of the four nuclear plant emergency classifications as outlined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). It indicates an unusual plant condition in progress or impending which, if left unattended, has the potential to cause a degradation of overall plant safety. No significant release of radioactive material is expected, therefore offsite response or environmental monitoring is not necessary. Federal, state and local government authorities will be notified of any Unusual Event. A description for the public could include the following: A small problem has occurred. No radiation leak is expected. Federal, state and county officials will be told right away. You do not have to do anything. 4.1.2 Alert It is the SECOND LOWEST of the four nuclear plant emergency classifications as outlined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
