| Title | Adequacy of Exelons Protective Action Recommendation Strategy |
| Description | The inspectors identified an unresolved item (URI) during the inspection. The inspectors determined that additional NRC review and evaluation is required to determine whether Ginnas licensing basis relative to the Emergency Plan approval was adequate and met all NRC requirements and regulations. During the inspection, the inspectors reviewed Exelons protective action recommendation (PAR) procedure and strategy and determined that Exelon did not provide PARs for the entire plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ). Specifically, Exelon did not provide PARs for the area over Lake Ontario at Ginna. The inspectors determined that Exelons PAR procedure and process at Ginna may not be consistent with the intent of the regulations. 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) states, in part, that a range of protective actions has been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. Appendix E to Part 50 states, in part, that generally, the plume exposure pathway EPZ for nuclear power plants shall consist of an area about 10 miles in radius. NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Supplement 3, Guidance for Protective Action Strategies, Revision 1, provides an expectation that licensees are to provide a PAR with the General Emergency notification. The offsite response organizations responsible for implementing protective actions use the licensees PARs to inform their decision making. Ginna Station Nuclear Emergency Response Plan (NERP), Revision 0, dated August 9, 1984, included a map of the 10-mile plume exposure pathway, identified as Figure F-3, which illustrated emergency response planning areas (ERPAs) in the 10-mile EPZ land area surrounding Ginna. Additionally, Section 1.0 of the NERP states that Exelon will recommend to Federal, State, and local authorities specific protective actions to limit the danger to the public, including evacuation. The inspectors compared the latest revision of the NERP, Revision 03801, dated July 11, 2014, to Revision 0 and determined that no ERPAs have existed over Lake Ontario. Figure 5.3, Scheme for Protective Action Recommendations, of the NERP provides shelter-in-place and evacuation PARs based on ERPAs, but does not include PARs for the potential transient population, such as boaters on Lake Ontario. Exelon provided documentation showing that Wayne Countys Radiological EP Plan provides for evacuation of Lake Ontario at an Alert emergency classification level. In response to the inspectors concern, Exelon entered the issue into the CAP as CR- 2014-004538 for further evaluation. The inspectors will coordinate with NRCs Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response to review the adequacy of Exelons approved Emergency Plan to determine if this issue constitutes a violation and to ensure Exelon is meeting all NRC regulations and requirements. Pending resolution and determination of any potential enforcement actions, this issue is a URI. |
