Addressees: 

All NRC licensees except nuclear power facilities and fuel facilities with 
an installed Emergency Notification System (ENS) 

Purpose: 

This notice is being issued to ensure that recipients are aware of the 
correct commercial telephone numbers for the NRC that are to be used to 
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 

It is expected that recipients will review and forward the information in 
this notice to cognizant individuals for review and appropriate use 
Suggestions contained in this information notice do not constitute NRC 
requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response is required

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
