report incidents and reportable items as required by the regulations and
license conditions In addition, it is considered prudent that recipients
assure that other telephone numbers used for emergency notifications are
correct, and provisions exist for periodic updating

Description of Circumstances:
As a result of the incident at the Sequoyah Fuels Corporation on January 4,
1986, it was determined that some telephone numbers held by the licensee for
emergency notification and assistance were incorrect For example, the
numbers for the NRC Region IV office and DOE emergency radiological
assistance were incorrect In addition, the DOE number was improperly
identified in the radiological contingency plan under a listing for NRC A
preliminary review of other contingency plans indicated that this situation
is not unique to Sequoyah Fuels Corporation
Discussion:
The following commercial telephone numbers are available for notification to
the NRC of incidents and reportable items during normal office hours
