EPIP Revision Title Effective Date 5 61 General Emergency 04/28/2023 Description of Changes EPIP-5 Revision 61 updated the Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) diagram, , to reflect the removal of staged evacuation, which aligns with concurrent changes made in the REP due to an update of Evacuation Time Estimates (ETEs). As part of this change Attachments 1 (General Emergency Initial Notification Form) and 10 (Upgrade - Protective Action Recommendation) were updated to change Recommendation 3 from Shelter 5 miles downwind to Evacuate 5 miles downwind and to remove Recommendation 6, which is no longer applicable.

TVA determined that the changes did not reduce the effectiveness of the WBN REP . The WBN REP , as revised , continues to meet the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) .
