Introduction

Tina Kuhr is an Emergency Management Leader in the Nuclear Industry with the following experience:

• Emergency Plan, Emergency Plan Program Procedure and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure maintenance

• Emergency preparedness regulatory change process

• Drill and Exercise evaluation and critique report preparation

• Training Emergency Organization Members

Tina currently serves as the Emergency Preparedness Program Lead for GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy. She supported the transition from event based to position based emergency response procedures, including preparing regulatory change justifications. She is currently converting procedures used by her site’s Fire/HAZMAT/EMT responders to our company’s standard format. She ensures that emergency response facilities are maintained in a state of readiness and coordinate training for the new Emergency Organization Members.

Prior to coming to GEH in 2019, she worked in Nuclear Emergency Preparedness at Duke Energy for ~25 years. There she developed and maintained fleet standard nuclear emergency response procedures and emergency preparedness program procedures for six nuclear stations and the corporate office, including preparing regulatory change justifications. Her accomplishments included:

• Reducing the number of nuclear emergency response procedures and emergency preparedness program procedures by 75% by implementing standard procedures across the company following a merger.

• Updating surveillance procedures for the common Emergency Operations Facility to include requirements for the three additional sites and performing those surveillances.

• Revising the standard emergency response procedures based on lessons learned from drills and exercises following implementation.

Before the merger she standardized nuclear emergency preparedness program procedures for the Duke Power fleet and maintained the procedures in the common EOF, incorporating drill and exercise lessons learned and industry best practices. Prior to that, she was the corporate EP “group,” responsible for projects of a generic nature such as bringing Oconee Nuclear Station into the common EOF, which required prior approval by the NRC Commissioners and moving the EOF from one building to another without prior NRC approval.
