Accident Management
Procedures
The first set encompasses those actions addressed by station Abnormal and Emergency Operating Procedures. The second constitutes a subset of accident management referred to as Severe Accident Management and are addressed by station Severe Accident Management Guidelines. The last set of actions are addressed within the Station Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures. OSSI has extensive experience in the development of the full range of accident management plans and procedures including the development of EOPs and SAMGs consistent with Owners Group Guidelines as well as Emergency Plans and Implementing Procedures.
OSSI has the experience and technical expertise to assist you with your EAL needs, whether updating to reflect plant modifications, reviewing to ensure conformance to regulatory guidance or the complete re-writing of the emergency classification scheme. OSSI employs a proven, systematic approach to EAL development and upgrade programs. OSSI has successfully designed and implemented fully integrated emergency classification schemes including the integration of EALs with plant emergency operating and severe accident management procedures. Have you ever wondered why a certain EAL was written the way it was? Have you wanted to revise your EALs but are unsure of the proposed revision's regulatory impact? An EAL Technical Bases Document solves this problem while providing numerous other benefits to the emergency planning process. Developed to support your existing EALs or as part of an EAL upgrade program, the EAL Technical Bases Document provides a detailed technical discussion of each EAL. Included are the plant-specific references utilized as well as justification for identified values, limits and instrumentation. Also included is a NUREG-0654 or NEI 99-01 to EAL cross-reference to fully document conformance to regulatory guidance. This document also serves as an excellent training resource for plant operations and emergency management personnel.
Emergency Action
Level Reference
Manuals Developed for use by off-site Civil Defense personnel, an EAL Reference Manual provides a concise, simplified description of each EAL in a single bound document. Upon declaration of an emergency classification, an initial notification transmitted from the plant Control Room typically includes a brief description of the initiating event(s). The ability to provide a meaningful description of the significance of the initiating event to off-site agencies under such highly stressful constraints is essential. But because of the technical nature of the EALs and the inherent complexity of the plant systems and components referenced within them, the ability to formulate such a description at the time of the emergency can be formidable. As part of a plant's EAL implementation program, a document can be developed which provides off-site and non-technically oriented emergency response personnel with a succinct, easy to understand description of each EAL and it's safety significance. Referred to as the "Emergency Action Level Reference Manual", the plant-specific document also includes graphics to help the user understand EAL concepts as well as a glossary of terms. When properly integrated with the emergency notification procedures, State and local civil defense personnel can refer to the Emergency Action Level Reference Manual to obtain a simplified description of the emergency conditions which initiated the event. OSSI pioneered the concept of Emergency Action Level Reference Manuals and has developed some sixteen (16) reference manuals representing forty (40) commercial plants in the United States.
From defining the exercise objectives and scope to preparation of every component of the scenario and exercise manual, OSSI provides the most comprehensive scenario development services available. By combining our extensive plant operations, radiological, emergency planning and public information experience, OSSI can develop challenging, technically accurate scenarios that provide every opportunity for the exercise objectives to be demonstrated. OSSI also has significant experience working with plant-specific simulators in the development of scenarios.
OSSI will assist in exercise critiques, development of exercise reports, and provide recommendations for program improvements.
OSSI can develop custom software to meet information handling or training needs. Our programming experience includes:
OSSI provides a full range of training services. OSSI can develop training materials that meet INPO standards as well as provide instructors to conduct training in the following areas:
Human Performance
Upgrades
OSSI can apply proven human factors principals to design hardware/software interfaces or create procedural operating aides to improve performance and streamline decision making processes.

Accident management consists of those sets of actions taken during the course
of an accident by the Emergency Response Organization in order
to:
Whether needed to support procedure validation,
Operator or Emergency Response Organization training, or the conduct
of a full-scale Emergency Plan Exercise, OSSI can support all aspects of
scenario development.
OSSI can provide
experienced controllers and evaluators to support your drill and exercise
efforts, both on-site and off-site.
OSSI can support the performance of independent
EOP/SAMG/EP program evaluations as well as program audits such as
10CFR50.54(t) Emergency Preparedness assessments.
OSSI can also support the conduct of procedure verification and validation.
