- 1. Radiological Emergency Response Plan (OERP), Revision 82 Updated a figure from a simple flow chart to a more detailed flow chart describing Control Room emergency response actions associated with each emergency classification (i.e., Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency). This change also includes a block describing a Security Threat.
- Changed the title of "Senior Control Operators" to "Senior Reactor Operators;"
changed the title "Control Room Operators" to "Reactor Operators;" and changed the title "Control Operators" to "Reactor Operators." The changes provide for consistency with site procedures.
- Added the procedure title and number that the Technical Support Center Site Emergency Coordinator would reference for instructions when located at the Alternate Emergency Facility.
" Corrected the description of the composition of the fire brigade for consistency with other site procedures. Reference to "Fire Brigade Advisor" was deleted from the description of the composition of the fire brigade. The Fire Brigade Advisor is not a member of the Fire Brigade. This position is a member of the Operations staff who provides advisory support to the fire brigade during fire brigade activities.
- Updated the letter of agreement with the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).
- As required by the NRC Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) NSIRJDPR-ISG-01, added the "On-Shift Staffing Analysis for Brunswick Nuclear Plant - 2012," which is included as new Attachment 1, Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012. The revision includes the staffing requirements from the On-Shift Staffing Analysis and clarification of position responsibilities to ensure adequate personnel will continue to be onsite at all times to provide support in the event of an emergency. The changes include:
o "Three Control Operators" was changed to "Four Reactor Operators" and "one Chemistry Technician" was changed to "two Chemistry Technicians."
o Revised Figure 3.1-1, Brunswick Shift Organization, for consistency with the minimum on-shift staffing table depicted in "Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012," Attachment 1.

SUMMARY
IOERP I Rev. 82 91
PROGRESS ENERGY BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PLANT (BNP)
RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN (ERP)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Emergency Program for the Brunswick Nuclear Plant consists of the Brunswick Radiological Emergency Plan and its implementing Plant Emergency Procedures. The Radiological Emergency Plan may also be referred to as the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) in other plant documents. Also included are the related radiological emergency plans and procedures of state and local organizations. The purpose of these programs is to provide for the protection of plant personnel and the general public and to prevent or mitigate property damage that could result from an emergency at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant.
The combined emergency preparedness programs have the following objectives:
- 1. Effective coordination of emergency activities among all organizations having a response role.
- 2. Early warning and clear instructions to the population-at-risk in the event of a serious radiological emergency.
- 3. Continued assessment of actual or potential consequences both on site and off site.
- 4. Effective and timely implementation of emergency measures.
- 5. Continued maintenance of an adequate state of emergency preparedness.
The Supervisor - Emergency Preparedness is the BNP Emergency Planning Coordinator. The BNP Emergency Plan and Procedures are contained in the Plant Operating Manual (POM), Volume 13, which consists of the following parts:
Book 1, Radiological Emergency Plan (ERP)
Book 2, Plant Emergency Procedures (PEP)
A list of procedures required to implement the plan can be found in Book 2.
OERP Rev. 82 1-1
1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1.1 Plant Site Description The Brunswick plant site is located in the southeastern portion of North Carolina 2 1/2 miles north of Southport in Brunswick County, and 16 miles south of Wilmington, North Carolina, in adjacent New Hanover County. (See Fig. 1.1-1 and Fig. 1.1-2.) The Brunswick Plant utilizes two General Electric Company boiling water reactors.
The major structures of the Brunswick plant which contain radioactive materials are the Units 1 and 2 reactor buildings, the turbine building, augmented off-gas building, radwaste building, and a dry fuel storage facility (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFS).
Figure 1.1-1 shows a site plan for the Brunswick plant and Figure 1.1-3 shows the location of the buildings at the site.
1.1.2 Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone The plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is defined to be the area within an approximate ten-mile radius of the Brunswick plant.
Principal exposure sources from plume exposure pathways are:
(a) external exposure to gamma and beta radiation from the plume and deposited material and (b) exposure of internal organs to gamma and beta radiation from inhaled radioactive gases and/or radioactive particulates.
Figure 1.1-2 shows the ten-mile plume exposure EPZ in relation to the location of the Brunswick plant. The plume exposure EPZ includes portions of the North Carolina counties of Brunswick and New Hanover.
The prevailing winds around the Brunswick plant are from the southwest. Figure 1.1-4 presents wind roses for the Brunswick plant site.
OERP I Rev. 82 1-21
1.1.3 Ingestion Exposure Emergency Planning Zone The ingestion exposure EPZ is defined to be the area within a 50-mile radius of the Brunswick plant.
The principal exposure sources from ingestion pathways are contaminated water or food, such as milk or fresh vegetables. The time of potential exposure can range in length from hours to months.
Figure 1.1-5 shows the 50-mile ingestion exposure EPZ in relation to the location of the Brunswick plant. The ingestion exposure EPZ includes the North Carolina Counties of Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, Onslow, Pender, and Sampson, and the South Carolina County of Horry.
The region within a 50-mile radius of the Brunswick plant site is predominantly rural, with less than one-half the land devoted to farming. The remainder of the region consists of undeveloped, non-utilized marshes and woodlands.
1.1.4 Demographic Information Demographic information for the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone is presented in Figure 1.1-6, 1.1-6a and 1.1-6b.
The information is presented by (1) local planning zones and (2) distance from plant at 0-2 miles, 2-5 miles, and 5-10 miles, based on the longitude and latitude of the plant site. Since some of the local planning zones extend beyond the 10-mile radius, the total population for the local planning zones is greater than the total population for the 0-10 mile radius.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1-31
1.2 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY This document describes the Brunswick Radiological Emergency Plan (Plan) which has been prepared in accordance with Section 50.47 and Appendix E, of Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The Plan shall be implemented whenever an emergency situation is indicated as defined in Section 2.0 Emergency Classifications. Radiological emergencies can vary in severity from the occurrence of an abnormal event, such as a minor fire with no radiological health consequences, to nuclear accidents having substantial on-site and/or off-site consequences.
In addition to emergencies involving a release of radioactive materials, events such as security threats or breaches, fires, electrical system disturbances, and natural phenomena that have the potential for involving radioactive materials are included in the Plan. Other types of emergencies that do not have a potential for involving radioactive materials are not included in the Plan.
The activities and responsibilities of outside agencies providing an emergency response role at the Brunswick plant are summarized in Appendix C and in the state's Emergency Plan.
1.3
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PROGRAM The Brunswick radiological emergency program consists of the Brunswick Radiological Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures. The Plan provides the basis for performing advance planning and for defining specific requirements and commitments to be implemented by other documents and procedures. The Brunswick plant procedures provide the detailed actions and instructions that will be required to implement the Plan in the event of an emergency. The Plan and its implementing procedures are briefly described below.
1.3.1 Concept of Operations The Brunswick Radiological Emergency Plan describes the general nature of emergency response activities, the available emergency response resources and facilities, and the means for maintaining emergency preparedness. Specific plant implementing procedures have been developed (or existing ones modified) to describe in detail how involved plant and corporate personnel carry out their specific responsibilities as identified in the Plan.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1-41
1.3.1.1 Emergency Response Activities The first step in responding to an emergency is recognizing and classifying the nature of the emergency. In order to standardize this process, the four emergency classifications described in NUREG-0654 and NRC Bulletin 2005-02 are adopted for use in this plan. Each class of emergency (Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency) encompasses a predefined set of increasingly severe circumstances, including plant conditions, ISFSI conditions, instrument readings, and effectiveness of in-plant corrective actions, known as Emergency Action Levels. The process of properly classifying an emergency is important because the subsequent response activities are dependent on the severity of the emergency.
The next step is to notify (and activate as conditions warrant) the proper emergency organizations, both inside and outside Progress Energy. Proper integration of the efforts of the various response organizations is important to prevent omission or unnecessary duplication of key activities.
Therefore, the emergency plan identifies in terms of information flow and communications links the interfaces between pertinent organizations, and identifies the role each is to perform. The emergency response measures to be taken by Progress Energy are discussed in detail in this Plan, while those taken by the state and local governments are summarized herein with details provided in the North Carolina State Emergency Plan.
Beyond the process of notification and activation of support groups, a variety of efforts must be made to assess and minimize the consequences of an emergency condition. These efforts include estimates of the radiation exposures that may occur to plant and off-site personnel if the emergency is not brought quickly under control. Such estimates can be used to initiate preplanned protective actions. The decisions on protective actions off site, such as taking shelter or evacuation, are the responsibility of state and local authorities. The Plan provides for technical assessments of the course and consequences of the emergency and the means for providing state and local agencies with adequate information upon which to make their decisions. Emergency response activities also include personnel accountability, search and rescue, first aid, personnel decontamination, fire fighting, and damage control.
OERP Rev. 82 1-51
The final step is to declare the emergency over and perform any necessary post-accident recovery activities. The Plan describes post-accident recovery provisions and identifies the transition from the emergency phase to the recovery phase.
1.3.1.2 Emergency Response Resources The emergency response resources available to respond to an emergency consist of the personnel at Corporate Headquarters, at other Progress Energy facilities, and, in the longer term, at organizations involved in the nuclear industry.
The first line of defense in responding to an emergency lies with the normal operating shift on duty when the emergency begins. Therefore, members of the Brunswick staff are assigned defined emergency response roles that are to be assumed whenever an emergency is declared. The overall management of the emergency is normally performed by the Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator until relieved by the on-call Technical Support Center Site Emergency Coordinator.
Because of his overall knowledge, he is best able to bring the full resources of the plant to bear on controlling the emergency.
On-site personnel have preassigned roles to support the Site Emergency Coordinator and to implement his directives.
These roles, for the purpose of emergency planning, are cast in terms of emergency teams and assignments, each having a designated leader or primary person and alternate(s) assigned to it.
Each team and individual assignment carries with it specific emergency response duties and, where practical, each is provided with an on-shift person to perform those duties on an interim basis. This approach ensures under most conditions that an emergency response duty falls under some predesignated position and provides a smooth transition as additional people are called to the plant, since each one knows ahead of time what his area of responsibilities will be. The Site Emergency Coordinator will also have ready access to the Technical Support Center. This Emergency Facility is comprised of personnel who are knowledgeable of and responsible for engineering and management support. It will assemble shortly after a non-security related Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency is declared in order to assist the Site Emergency Coordinator and to carry out their directives.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1 1-61
Upon declaration of an Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency, or at the discretion of the Site Emergency Coordinator, the Emergency Operations Facility will be activated and staffed by personnel under the direction of the Emergency Response Manager. The position of Emergency Response Manager is staffed by qualified senior plant management personnel. Once the Emergency Operations Facility has been fully activated, the Emergency Response Manager will be responsible for all off-site emergency response including radiological and environmental assessment, determination of recommended public protective actions, and coordination of emergency response activities with federal, state, and local agencies. The Emergency Response Manager will manage the corporate response activities, to relieve the Brunswick plant personnel of any activities that could hamper their response efforts, and to marshal the corporate resources needed to properly respond to the emergency.
Progress Energy has a staff of well-trained and experienced engineers, analysts, and technicians. These personnel represent a pool of technical expertise which can be called upon to provide additional support to the emergency response and recovery organizations. Progress Energy personnel will staff an off-site Joint Information Center to interface with the media and general public in order to effectively communicate to the public the nature of an emergency in progress. Available to assist the Brunswick plant in responding to an emergency are Progress Energy personnel assigned to the Harris, Robinson, and Crystal River nuclear plants and the Corporate Offices.
In addition as outlined in Appendix C, Progress Energy has arranged for support from outside Progress Energy in the areas of fire fighting, rescue and medical assistance, as well as that support delineated in the state and local emergency plans.
Assistance may also be available from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Energy, and General Electric. The industry resources identified by INPO are also available. Progress Energy is a signatory to the mutual assistance agreement developed by INPO for utilities in the nuclear power industry.
OERP Rev. 82 1-71
1.3.1.3 Emergency Response Facilities Special provisions have been made to assure that ample space and proper equipment are available to effectively respond to the full range of possible emergencies.
The emergency facilities available include the Brunswick plant Control Room, Operational Support Center, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, and Joint Information Center. Each of these facilities, as well as the North Carolina Emergency Operations Center, the Brunswick County Emergency Operations Center, and the New Hanover County Emergency Operations Center, are described in Section 5, Emergency Facilities and Equipment.
1.3.1.4 Emergency Response Plan Maintenance The Plan, as described in Section 6, provides for maintenance of emergency preparedness by establishing the framework and requirements for training, drills and exercises, and periodic updating. Each Brunswick employee having an emergency response role is trained, and annually retrained, in his area of responsibility and also how his duties fit in with those of others.
Each individual must know what is expected of him and what he should expect of others while responding to an emergency.
A basic description of the required training for emergency assignment is provided in the Plan. The effectiveness of such training is gauged by the use of drills and exercises. Drills are supervised instruction periods aimed at developing, maintaining, and testing skills in a specific operation such as communications or radiation monitoring. An exercise tests the overall capability of the integrated plant, state, and local emergency organizations to properly respond to an emergency. The Plan sets forth the frequency and content of such drills and exercises and also establishes how lessons learned will be used to improve the Plan.
The Plan also delineates the requirements for reviewing, updating, and auditing the Plan and for performing maintenance on and taking inventories of emergency equipment and supplies. An Emergency Planning Coordinator is designated to be responsible for overseeing this process as outlined in Section 6.2.
OERP Rev. 82 1-81
1.4 BRUNSWICK PLANT EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Plant Emergency Procedures (PEP's) are implementing procedures which define the specific (i.e., step-by-step) actions to be followed in order to recognize and assess an emergency condition and to mitigate its consequences. Procedures to implement the Plan have been developed or existing procedures modified to provide the following information:
- 1. Specific instructions to the plant operating staff for the implementation of the Plan.
- 2. Specific authorities and responsibilities of plant operating personnel.
- 3. A source of pertinent information, forms, and data to ensure prompt actions are taken and that proper notifications and communications are carried out.
- 4. A record of the completed actions.
- 5. The mechanism by which emergency preparedness will be maintained at all times.

PROGRESS ENERGY BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PLANT (BNP)
RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN (ERP) 2.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS A key element of this Plan is a preplanned system of notifying and activating various emergency response organizations. This system, in accordance with NRC recommendations, uses graded levels of emergency response where the actions specified are organized according to the general severity of the emergency condition.
This section discusses the criteria for determining the level of the emergency condition. It also illustrates how a decision is made to declare that an emergency exists by providing example initiating conditions that could correspond to each emergency class. Section 3 in turn will discuss the plans for notification of off-site agencies and mobilization of emergency teams and how they may vary with the level of the emergency.
2.1 GENERAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM The operating staff is provided formal training to recognize and respond in a logical manner to off-normal plant conditions. Plant abnormal and emergency procedures are designed to allow plant personnel to mitigate the consequences of and correct an off-normal condition as quickly as possible following its occurrence. The procedures identify the conditions requiring implementation of this Plan. Figure 2.0-1 shows the basic response sequence that is followed during any off-normal condition.
The types of potential emergencies vary in probability and consequences.
Accordingly, any system that categorizes emergencies must be both wide-ranged and flexible. This Plan adopts the NRC recommended standard of four general classes of emergencies and, as described below, includes the methods for determining the class in which a specific type of event should be placed.
The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present.
IOERP I Rev. 82 2-11
There are four basic tests or criteria that must be considered in deciding which emergency class exists. These are:
- 1. Radioactivity release: Is a release occurring; and if so, what is its magnitude?
- 2. Core damage: If no release to the environment is occurring, has there been a release of fission products from the fuel? Do the radiation levels in the coolant system or primary containment pose a potential danger to the public?
- 3. Plant degradation: Has the plant responded to equipment failures or external events as designed? If the plant has not responded as expected, what is the prognosis for a safe recovery, or alternately that further degradation will occur (e.g., corrective action is not likely to be successful or cannot be accomplished before a major release occurs)?
- 4. Site Specific Security Threats or Hostile Actions.
The categorization of events and combinations of events according to one of the four emergency classes is implemented through Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These are specific sets of plant conditions, instrument readings, and events which, unless promptly corrected, coincide with the conditions associated with one of the four emergency classes.
EALs for the Brunswick Nuclear Plant are included as an attachment to the Radiological Emergency Response Plan and are provided in OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
The EALs have been selected with a view towards ensuring that a reasonable time is available to diagnose the specific cause of the emergency and attempt immediate corrective actions.
Once an emergency is declared, assessments of core and containment conditions, projected releases, and resultant exposures are performed.
The results, along with other plant status assessments, are reported to off-site agency officials who decide, based on these inputs, whether or not protective actions for the public are to be implemented. The relationship of dose assessment values to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Protective Action Guides (PAGs), and the possibility of approaching or exceeding the PAGs, will specifically be reported. Section 4 describes the relationships between emergency classes, PAGs, and various emergency measures.
0ERP Rev. 82 122
Each of the four emergency classes is discussed below.
2.2 UNUSUAL EVENT Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
Determination of an Unusual Event (or any emergency condition) may be accomplished in one or more of the following ways:
- Observations/inspections
- Automatic alarms (e.g., Radiation and Process Monitoring Systems)
" Communications from others (e.g., warnings of severe natural phenomena by the National Weather Service)
As in all cases, the Site Emergency Coordinator will declare an Unusual Event in any circumstance where, in his judgment, the status of the plant warrants it. Initiating conditions are established as EALs for the determination of this class. Specific EALs for an Unusual Event are listed in OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
An Unusual Event does not require the activation of the entire on-site emergency organization, but the Site Emergency Coordinator can direct that additional personnel come to the site to support shift workers. Off-site emergency organizations shall be notified as necessary for informational purposes and aid from off-site fire fighting, medical services, and security organizations can be requested. Notifications are discussed in Section 3.9, and emergency measures to be taken are described in Section 4. Specific emergency actions to be followed during an Unusual Event are contained in OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
2.3 ALERT Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
OERP Rev. 82 2-31
Initiating conditions are established as EALs for determination of an Alert and are listed in OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases. Additionally, the Site Emergency Coordinator will declare an Alert whenever he concludes that plant conditions so warrant.
Events in this class may reflect a significant degradation in the safety of the reactor. However, releases from such events will be small. Off-site mobilization and assessment actions will be initiated to ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if situations become more serious and confirm that radiation levels in the environment do not require protective actions off-site. Notifications and activation of emergency organizations are discussed in Section 3.9, and the emergency measures to be taken are described in Section 4. Specific emergency actions to be followed during an Alert are contained in OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
2.4 SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
Initiating conditions are established as EALs for determination of the Site Area Emergency class and are listed in OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
Additionally, the Site Emergency Coordinator will declare a Site Area Emergency whenever he concludes that plant conditions so warrant.
The Site Area Emergency class includes Alert conditions where the plant personnel have been initially unsuccessful in restoring the facility to a safe shutdown condition. It also includes Alert conditions where subsequent additional malfunctions have occurred. The Site Area Emergency class is more severe than the Alert class because significant radiation releases may occur. However, most of the initiating conditions associated with the Site Area Emergency class do not result in an immediate release and may never result in a significant release if emergency repairs are successful.
OERP Rev. 82 2-4]
Although immediate protective actions are not automatically required, declaration of a Site Area Emergency will set into motion all personnel on site and off site that would be required to perform actions up to and including the evacuation of a near-site area. If circumstances warrant, the process of public notification may begin as directed by the state plan.
Section 3.9 discusses the planned process of notification and activation of emergency organizations. Emergency measures to be taken are described in Section 4. Specific emergency actions to be followed during a Site Area Emergency are contained in OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control -
Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
2.5 GENERAL EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
Initiating conditions predictive of a major radiological release are established as Emergency Action Levels for determination of the General Emergency class and are listed in OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases. Additionally, the Site Emergency Coordinator will declare a General Emergency whenever, in his judgment, conditions exist that warrant activation of emergency response efforts including off-site monitoring and prompt public notification.
The General Emergency class includes accident conditions that involve severe core damage or melting. Such conditions will result in major releases to the primary containment and extremely high levels of contamination in the reactor coolant. Releases to the environment may be kept low unless leak paths in the primary containment develop (as from containment failure or failures in pumps, valves and other equipment which circulate reactor coolant outside primary containment). If major releases do occur, it is probable that they will occur hours to days after the onset of the emergency and that off-site exposures will approach or exceed EPA recommended protective action guides unless protective measures are instituted. Notifications and activation of emergency organizations are discussed in Section 3.9. The emergency measures to be taken are described in Section 4. Specific emergency actions to be followed during a General Emergency are contained in OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.

RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN (ERP) 3.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION There are requirements for action in an emergency that go beyond those encountered during routine operations. To meet these extra demands and provide an effective response to the emergency, the Brunswick Radiological Emergency Plan employs an organizational concept that has four features.
- 1. Whenever the Plan is activated (i.e., an EAL is exceeded), a single individual is charged with the responsibility for and authority to direct all actions necessary to respond to the emergency.
- 2. The primary responsibility of the individual in charge is to assure that all critical actions (emergency response functions) are carried out. Upon activation of the Plan, that individual is freed of all other responsibilities and thus able to devote their entire effort to managing the emergency response.
- 3. Specific individuals are assigned the responsibility of carrying out predefined critical actions.
- 4. There is a mechanism established to provide additional resources as necessary to respond to the emergency, which provides continuity of response on each critical action.
This concept of organization is compatible with and integrated into the normal mode of operation. There are a number of procedures to guide operators in responding to equipment malfunctions and instrument alarms. There are also procedures to maintain effective control over contamination and radiation exposures. Emergency procedures basically involve an extension of these existing plant procedures.
Organizational control of emergencies is accomplished in several steps. First, as is discussed in Section 2, conditions associated with the various emergency classes are clearly defined. Second, emergency response functions are specified with levels of action appropriate to each emergency class (e.g.,
notification, off-site radiation monitoring, etc.). Third, individuals are assigned to be responsible for carrying out each emergency response function, with the assignments to cover all phases of the emergency--from its initial declaration to the final recovery operations.
IOERP I Rev. 82 3-11
Finally, the position of the Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator is established to be activated immediately on declaration of an emergency. To that individual is delegated the immediate and unilateral authority to act on behalf of the Company to manage and direct all emergency operations involving the facility. Upon activation of the EOF, the Emergency Response Manager assumes responsibility of overall emergency response and performs those requirements for all off-site related activities. The Technical Support Center Site Emergency Coordinator maintains overall on-site emergency response responsibilities and reports to the Emergency Response Manager.
Initially the Site Emergency Coordinator (SEC) would be the Operations Shift Manager (or other qualified Control Room personnel) who would act in that capacity until formally relieved by the designated On-Call Technical Support Center SEC or alternate (qualified SECs are listed in EPL-001) in the Technical Support Center. In this manner, the individual usually in charge of activities in the Control Room is responsible for initiating the necessary emergency response, but the emergency response organization On-Call Technical Support Center Site Emergency Coordinator is expected to assume management of the emergency response as soon as available to do so in anticipation of the possible wide-ranging responsibilities associated with managing a major emergency.
This section of the plan delineates the various emergency actions and separates them into groups of related functions. These functions are then assigned to designated emergency response personnel who are responsible to the Site Emergency Coordinator for the performance of the activities required to fulfill those functions.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, specified on-shift personnel assume the responsibility for performing the required emergency response actions until properly relieved by another emergency response organization member qualified for the position. All emergency response organization members are trained as described in Section 6.1.1.
If necessary, the Site Emergency Coordinator will allocate available resources based on existing plant conditions. Where necessary, additional personnel will be notified and requested to augment on-site personnel.
A current call list of emergency response organization members is maintained in the Control Room and procedures are available to make this notification.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1 3-21
3.1 NORMAL OPERATING ORGANIZATION The greatest number of people on site occurs during day shift operations.
The plant crew available to respond to an emergency provides a broad spectrum of specialties including operations, maintenance, engineering, radiochemistry, health physics, fire protection and security. The Plan, as will be discussed, utilizes the basic plant organizational structure and cadre of available manpower as the principal means of responding to an emergency condition. This is accomplished by assigning the management of various emergency response functions to individuals in accordance with their routine operational responsibilities. To illustrate, Radiological Emergency Teams will be directed by Environmental & Radiation Control, management personnel, who are the individuals responsible for directing day-to-day radiation control programs. In the event of an emergency, they report directly to the Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator and continue to be responsible for radiological matters.
There are, of course, times when the full complement of staff is unavailable, just as there are times when one or a few key supervisory officials are away from the plant. Therefore, the shift organization as described in the Administrative Controls section of the BNP Technical Specifications must be prepared to provide the initial response to an emergency. The following on-shift expertise will be maintained 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day:
Each operating shift will normally consist of a Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator normally filled by the Shift Manager or other qualified Control Room personnel, two Senior Reactor Operators, four Reactor Operators, nine Auxiliary Operators, three Health Physics Technicians, two Chemistry Technicians, two Mechanical Maintenance Technicians, three I&C/Electrical Maintenance Technicians, and one Shift Technical Advisor (STA). See Figure 3.1-1, Brunswick Shift Organization. Shift crew composition may be less than the minimum requirements for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours in order to accommodate unexpected absence of on-duty shift crew members provided immediate action is taken to restore the shift crew composition to within the requirements specified as referenced in UFSAR Table 13-1. Document any deviation from Figure 3.1-1 in the corrective action program.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 3-31
As will be described below, the general approach is to assign all necessary emergency response functions to the individuals on site. Each individual, on declaration of an emergency, would be responsible for carrying out one or more emergency actions until additional personnel arrive on site. It should be noted that they are initially responsible under all circumstances, and remain so until relieved. This arrangement provides for a clear and uniform assignment of responsibility and provides a mechanism to assure that all important emergency response functions are dealt with from the very beginning of the accident 3.2 ON-SITE EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION The minimum on-site emergency organization for non-normal working hours, backshifts, and holidays for the Brunswick Plant is described above in Section 3.1. Compliance with the requirements of NUREG-0654 Table B-1 has been assured, see Attachment 1, Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012. Guidance for augmenting the emergency organization is found in the notification checklists of the plant emergency procedures. Individuals' names and roles in the emergency organization, phone numbers, and alternates are described in the Emergency Phone List, EPL-001. EPL-001 lists the individuals and alternates qualified to fill the positions described for the TSC, OSC, and EOF.
The Company is committed to provide staffing to effectively contain any emergency which might occur at its nuclear facilities. Depending on the emergency at hand, personnel will be contacted with required expertise on a priority basis. A Staffing Analysis was completed in December, 2012 which validated adequate on-shift staffing is available for worst case scenarios postulated at Brunswick Nuclear Plant. See Attachment 1, Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012, for details of on-shift staffing 24/7. The on-site organization will continue to be augmented such that within 60-75 minutes after notification, additional personnel will be added to provide the necessary support and will meet the intent of Table B-1 of NUREG-0654. Additional personnel will continue to supplement the plant emergency organization as necessary to meet the requirements of this Plan. Periodic drills will be conducted to determine that this augmentation schedule can be maintained.
As an aid toward assuring that critical emergency actions are given proper attention, the plant's emergency procedures provide for emergency response personnel to carry out specific types of functions such as accident assessment and off-site notification. As discussed below, emergency response organization personnel have been selected with an aim toward making a smooth and rapid transition to the emergency mode of operation. The Emergency Response Organization is shown in Figures 3.2-1, 3.4-1, and 3.6-1.
OERP I Rev. 82 3-41
The functions specifically assigned to each element of the Emergency Response Organization are intended to encompass all critical response functions, from command and control to communications. One function assigned to each is that of record keeping. Typical of the records to be maintained are the emergency communications, the radiation records, (i.e.,
surveys, projected dose calculations, personnel/population-at-risk evacuations, etc.), the sequence of events (i.e., the managerial decisions and essential occurrences that evolve throughout the emergency), and the security/accountability records (i.e., who is presently on each team or at each center and any security threats). The following sections describe the specific emergency assignments, which are in the Plan's implementing procedures. The Emergency Response Organization personnel telephone numbers are available in the Control Room. In all emergencies, the on-duty Shift Manager, or other qualified individual, is authorized and qualified to implement the Plan and to classify the emergency condition.
3.2.1 Site Emergency Coordinator As discussed in Section 3.1, direction and coordination of emergency actions on-site (and off-site until relieved by the Emergency Response Manager) are prime responsibilities of the Site Emergency Coordinator (SEC) in the Control Room. The initial determination that an emergency exists will be made in the Control Room, based on measured plant parameters. Therefore, the Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, is initially the SEC. If the Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, becomes incapacitated for any reason, another Control Room SEC qualified individual may assume this responsibility. This individual will be in command of the on-site emergency organization until relieved by a designated On-Call SEC. The Shift Manager will be relieved by the first qualified SEC to arrive on site so that their attention may be devoted to plant operations. The Shift Manager remains responsible for the decision making of Severe Accident Management Guidelines strategies.
Names and phone numbers of qualified Site Emergency Coordinators (SEC) are available in EPL-001. The SEC will also appoint an Emergency Communicator who will relay messages and maintain notification records throughout the emergency.
Any individual who may be required to serve, even temporarily, in the capacity of a Site Emergency Coordinator (SEC) must be qualified and trained in accordance with the training program described in Section 6.1.1.
IOERP I Rev. 82 3-5
The primary responsibilities of the Site Emergency Coordinator include the following:
- 1. Coordinating and directing the combined activities of Brunswick personnel in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Operational Support Center, and elsewhere on the site.
- 2. Classifying the emergency.
- 3. Notifying off-site plant, corporate, and local agency personnel, as well as on-site personnel, as delineated in the procedures which implement the Plan. (Upon activation of the Emergency Operations Facility, the Emergency Response Manager provides liaison between the Site Emergency Coordinator and all off-site agencies.)
- 4. Issuing instructions to emergency response personnel and assuring that the appropriate procedures are being followed.
- 5. Initiating protective actions to be taken on site, if required.
- 6. Determining the advisability of re-entry operations during or immediately following an emergency situation.
- 7. Directing health physics activities until the arrival at the site of the Radiological Control Director.
- 8. Assuring continuity of on-site resources.
- 9. Declaring the emergency over.
0ERP Rev. 82 3-6]
Until relieved by the Emergency Response Manager, the Site Emergency Coordinator may not delegate the responsibility to make the decision to notify and make recommendations to authorities responsible for off-site emergency measures. Further, while he may consult with others, he may not delegate the responsibility to upgrade or downgrade the emergency classification or to declare that the emergency has been terminated. He may delegate the responsibility to announce that the emergency has been terminated. He may delegate the responsibility and authority for mobilization of recovery efforts while that emergency still exists provided that such efforts in no way interfere with or detract from the response to the emergency.
(Responsibility for mobilization of recovery efforts transfers to the Emergency Response Manager upon activation of the EOF.)
Other responsibilities may be delegated to other emergency organizational units as necessary for expeditiously carrying out the requirements of the Plan and procedures which implement the Plan.
3.2.2 Plant Operators During an emergency, the Plant Operators (including the Shift Manager) are the nucleus of the initial effort to control the plant and take steps to protect the public.
The Plant Operators' primary responsibility is to carry out assigned actions necessary during an emergency to provide initial emergency response per established emergency procedures and perform initial calculations of projected off-site consequences. The Operators are responsible for implementing actions (including Severe Accident Management Guidelines) as directed by the Shift Manager. Specific emergency response duties of the Plant Operators are found in the Plant Emergency Procedures which implement the Plan and in other Operations procedures.
3.3 Technical Support Center The Site Emergency Coordinator, as discussed above, is responsible for managing a wide range of activities at the plant. To assist the Site Emergency Coordinator in this effort and to implement his directives, a Technical Support Center has been established. Upon declaration of an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency, the Technical Support Center will be notified to immediately assemble. The SEC and other TSC staff members perform monitoring and evaluations required for Severe Accident Management Guidelines, and provide advice and recommendations to the Shift Manager and Reactor Operators.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1 3-71
The various technical and administrative functions to be performed at the plant have been grouped into five categories similar to the organization for routine operations. These are as follows:
Plant Operations NRC Communications Radiological Control Technical Assessment Security Directors are assigned to be responsible for activities within each category.
The Directors within the Technical Support Center may be relieved by designated qualified plant personnel (phone numbers are listed in EPL-001).
The TSC SEC position will also assemble at the Alternate Emergency Facility for a Security Threat and provide support per OPEP-02.6.30, Activation and Operation of the Alternate Emergency Facility, until safe access to the site is assured.
3.3.1 Plant Operations Director The Plant Operations Director is responsible to the Site Emergency Coordinator for providing liaison with the Reactor Operators, Shift Manager, and Technical Support Center. This individual is responsible for providing technical and administrative assistance to the Reactor Operators. This position also performs monitoring and evaluations required for Severe Accident Management Guidelines.
Responsibilities of this position are contained in 0PEP-02.6.26, Activation and Operation of the Technical Support Center.
3.3.2 Radiological Control Director The Radiological Control Director is responsible to the Site Emergency Coordinator for managing the radiological monitoring and assessment aspects of the plant during an emergency; managing activities to control radiation exposure; providing technical and administrative direction to the Radiological Emergency Teams; and providing liaison with the Emergency Operations Facility and with the Radiological Control Manager. Responsibilities of this' position are contained in OPEP-02.6.26, Activation and Operation of the Technical Support Center.
IOERP I Rev. 82 3-81
3.3.3 Technical Assessment Director The Technical Assessment Director is responsible to the Site Emergency Coordinator for providing technical and administrative direction to the Accident Assessment Team and for providing liaison with the Technical Analysis Manager after the EOF is activated. The Technical Assessment Director is responsible for performing the monitoring and evaluations required for Severe Accident Management Guidelines. Responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.6.26, Activation and Operation of the Technical Support Center.
3.3.4 Security Director The Security Force is composed of personnel qualified in security, personnel accountability, and evacuation procedures and practices.
The Security Director is responsible to the SEC for providing direction to the Security Force during a declared emergency and providing liaison with the state and local law enforcement agencies.
Responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.6.26, Activation and Operation of the Technical Support Center.
3.3.5 Communications Director The Communications Director in the TSC reports to the Site Emergency Coordinator. This position is responsible for making plant-wide announcements over the Public Address System, ensuring NRC notifications are performed, and supervising the administrative staff. Responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.6.26, Activation and Operation of the Technical Support Center and OPEP-02.6.21, Emergency Communicator.

PROGRESS ENERGY BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PLANT (BNP)
RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN (ERP) 4.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES This section identifies the measures to be taken for each class of emergency described in Section 2. The measures presented in this section are used as the basis for the detailed Plant Emergency Procedures which define the specific actions to be taken for each emergency class. Emergency measures begin with the recognition and declaration of an emergency class, notification of the applicable agencies for that emergency class, and mobilization of the appropriate portions of the emergency organization. Subsequent measures include damage assessment, corrective actions, protective actions, and aid to affected personnel.
Recovery activities are discussed in Section 7.
4.1 ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY ORGANIZATIONS 4.1.1 General The Plant Operating Manual contains Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). These are intended to aid the plant operators in responding to an accident. The EOPs identify actions which should automatically occur to safely terminate the accident and manual actions which should be taken to verify that the automatic actions have produced the desired results. The EOPs also provide, for the operator's use, guidelines which alert the operators to conditions where inadequate cooling of the core exists or where radioactivity releases may occur. Accordingly, if it should appear that any of the Emergency Action Levels are exceeded, as described in OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases, the Site Emergency Coordinator (SEC) is instructed to activate the Emergency Plan.
The Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, shall activate the Emergency Plan, and assumes the SEC responsibilities, initially classifies the emergency, and ensures that the required notifications are made. The SEC will activate portions of, or the entire emergency organization, as warranted for the emergency situation. A more detailed discussion of the methodology that is used in activating the emergency organizations during each class of emergency is provided below and in the Plant Emergency Procedures. Additional detail of the communications networks to be used for notification requirements, for information reporting, and for decision-making with respect to taking protective action on site and for the general public is contained in Appendix A of this plan and OPEP-03.1.3, Use of Communication Equipment.
OERP Rev. 82 4-1]
4.1.2 Unusual Event The Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, when informed of conditions that meet emergencies that are classified as an Unusual Event, confirms that an Emergency Action Level has been exceeded and implements OPEP-02.1 .1, Emergency Control -
Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency. That individual is then responsible for assuming the role of the Site Emergency Coordinator and for notifying and activating those portions of the emergency organization as appropriate to the emergency class which then exists. The Site Emergency Coordinator can augment the on-site shift personnel by activating additional emergency personnel described in Section 3. Typical of the personnel that may be notified are OSC personnel and the Security Force.
4.1.3 Alert Section 2, Emergency Classifications, OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases, describe the types of emergencies that are classified as an Alert.
Since the conditions in this emergency class indicate an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant and has the potential for limited releases of radioactive material to the environment, off-site groups will be notified to standby so that if the emergency level is escalated, the essential off-site emergency organizational groups can be notified and readily mobilized to augment the on-site emergency groups.
Upon declaration of an Alert emergency classification the Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, assumes the role of the Site Emergency Coordinator until relieved by a designated, qualified emergency response organization member. The transfer of the Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator responsibilities to the Technical Support Center (TSC) Site Emergency Coordinator occurs simultaneously with the activation of the Technical Support Center (TSC).
The Site Emergency Coordinator implements OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency, and notifies the appropriate individuals or groups.
The Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator initiates the activation of the Technical Support Center, Operational Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The radiological emergency teams will be activated, as appropriate.
OERP IRev. 82 4-2
The appropriate county and state emergency group leaders will be requested to remain in a readiness condition in case additional augmentation of support personnel is needed and alerting the population-at-risk is warranted.
A decision to go beyond the initial response associated with an Alert class would be based on further degradation of plant parameters, operational experience, or radiation releases that are projected to escalate beyond the Emergency Action Levels for an Alert.
4.1.4 Site Area Emergency Section 2, Emergency Classifications, OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases, describe the types of emergencies classified as a Site Area Emergency. The Site Emergency Coordinator, when classifying the emergency, takes appropriate predefined steps to correct the situation as described in OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency.
If not done earlier, the Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, assumes the role of the Site Emergency Coordinator (SEC) until formally relieved. The SEC activates the necessary emergency organizations and directs that the essential emergency personnel be notified.
If they have not been previously requested to do so, the off-site groups will be mobilized as soon as possible; the Technical Support Center, Operational Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility will be activated. Radiation monitoring teams may be augmented to permit an expanded on-site and near site monitoring program.
The Joint Information Center will be activated for the purpose of providing information to the public.
If the plant parameters indicate possible further degradation of plant safety or projected radiation levels which exceed the recommended values, the emergency will be escalated to the General Emergency level.
IOERP Rev. 82 4-3
4.1.5 General Emergency Section 2, Emergency Classifications, OPEP-02.1, Initial Emergency Actions, and OPEP-02.2.1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases, describe the types of emergencies classified as a General Emergency.
The Site Emergency Coordinator (SEC) upon classifying the situation as a General Emergency takes appropriate, predefined steps to respond to and correct the situation as described OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency. This includes arranging for personnel to be available, both on site and off site, to perform actions up to and including evacuation of the affected sectors of the 10-mile EPZ.
If not done earlier, the Shift Manager, or other qualified Control Room personnel, assumes the role of the SEC until formally relieved. The SEC activates the necessary emergency organizations and directs that the essential emergency personnel be notified.
The activation and notification process should have begun well before a General Emergency is declared. Recommendations will be made for sheltering and/or evacuation in accordance with the guidelines in 0PEP-02.6.28, Off-Site Protective Action Recommendations.
4.2 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT ACTIONS 4.2.1 General Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization require continuing accident assessment throughout an emergency situation. The process of accident assessment involves several different types of activities, in-plant and off-site, depending on the nature and severity of the emergency.
The magnitude of releases of radioactive material can be determined using effluent and process monitors, meteorological data and other sources of information. Additionally, an independent confirmation of the magnitude of the release can be obtained based on the measured dose rates in the environment. Given these measured releases or environmental levels and estimates of the amount of dispersion between the plant and the various points of interest, projected doses can be estimated for other locations. These doses can then be compared to Protective Action Guides. The various steps in this process are discussed in the following sections and in the Plant Emergency Procedures. In the absence of measurable off-site dose rates, protective action recommendations will be made based on the guidelines 0PEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency.
OERP Rev. 82 14-4
4.2.2 Source Term Assessment Source terms for assessment of off-site dose consequences to the public can be determined by using effluent and radiation monitor readings, evaluating plant conditions against predetermined scenarios, using analysis results of plant effluent samples, and by manually estimating curie inventories. A thorough discussion of source term development is provided in Appendix F.
4.2.2.1 Effluent and Radiation Readings The most direct indication of a radiological emergency is a high reading in the effluent radiation monitors. The radiation monitoring system monitors the airborne gaseous and particulate activity released from the Reactor Building and Turbine Building. Additional channels of the radiation monitoring system also monitor the gaseous activity in the air ejectors, primary containment (drywell atmosphere) ventilation system, and main steam line monitors. These channels indicate, record, and alarm in the main control room. The radiation monitoring system gives early warning of a plant malfunction and warns plant personnel of increasing radiation activity which might result in a radiation hazard. (See OPEP-03.6.3 for procedures on source term assessments and estimates of core damage.)
OERP Rev. 82 4-5
These monitors are also the primary means of determining that an emergency exists for accidents involving spills or leaks of contaminated liquids or gases from systems housing radioactive materials. Such leaks could lead to a release to the environment. In such instances, the following types of emergency actions would take place:
- 1. The Control Room would be notified.
- 2. Personnel from the affected plant area would be evacuated, if required.
- 3. Access to the plant area involved would be restricted.
- 4. All plant personnel directly involved would be monitored for contamination.
- 5. A determination would be made of the potential for an off-site release.
- 6. The Plant Emergency Procedures would be activated if an emergency is declared.
4.2.2.2 Potential Consequences Based on In-Plant Conditions The source term can be estimated by evaluating the plant condition against a number of preselected scenarios that best describes the effectiveness of containment, cleanup systems, subcooled, or saturated conditions in the torus, and other relevant parameters. A more thorough discussion of the determination of source terms from plant conditions is described in Appendix F.
OERP Rev. 82 4-6
4.2.2.3 Post Accident Sampling and Analysis of Reactor and Containment To aid in the assessment of core damage, area-type monitors utilizing ion chamber detectors are available to monitor radiation levels in the drywell. These monitors have a range of up to 107 Rem/hr. The range of monitoring equipment in various locations of the plant is sufficient (e.g., high range noble gas vent monitor and improved procedures for iodine analyses) to monitor the applicable release point. This information can be used, together with the analyses of primary coolant system contamination levels, to develop an assessment of the types and quantities of various materials that have been released.
Additionally, capabilities have been provided to permit sampling for chemical and radioanalysis under a wide range of accident conditions. Samples can be taken from effluent streams such as the plant stack to determine total release quantity and radionuclide mix, or they can be taken from the RCS, drywell, and torus to determine radionuclide mix. The collection and analysis of samples can be performed without incurring radiation exposures to individuals in excess of 10CFR20.1201 limits.
The procedures for obtaining samples of gases and liquids during normal operation (such as a sample of primary coolant) can also be safely used during a wide spectrum of accident conditions. However, there are situations involving gross damage to the core where access to the sampling stations and handling of samples may be limited due to high radiation levels. Procedures have been developed and equipment has been installed at the sample panels to minimize the time required to obtain samples and to reduce the radiation levels during transport and analysis of samples. Beyond these measures, post accident sampling stations are located in the breezeway on the 20-foot level. This permits the collection of samples even if access to the Reactor Building is lost. This station can be used to safely withdraw samples of reactor coolant from the recirculation instrument racks in parallel with the jet pump flow indicator and to withdraw samples of water in the torus.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 4-7
4.2.3 Dose Projection and Meteorological Systems Once the source term is estimated, exposures to on-site and off-site individuals can be estimated as described in OPEP-03.4.7, Automation of Off-Site Dose Projection Procedures, OPEP-03.4.8, Offsite Dose Projections for Monitored Releases, and EMG-NGGC-0002, Off-Site Dose Assessment. The technical basis for the methodology for performing dose projection is described in Appendix F. Prior to receipt of information from the environmental monitoring teams, exposure rates at various locations on site and off site will be estimated from the airborne concentrations of radioactive material as calculated from plant radiation monitors and the atmospheric dispersion characteristics.
Meteorological measurements, specifically the change in temperature with height and wind velocity, are used to determine the atmospheric dispersion conditions. Normally, the plant computer will provide a readout of the stability condition, but alternate methods are available.
Rapid evaluation of potential radiation levels of any downwind area can be made through the use of calculated dispersion factors and the calculated release rate of airborne radioactive material from the plant.
The Brunswick Nuclear Plant has an on-site meteorological station with a backup source of additional meteorological data to provide sufficient information for utilization in a dose assessment capability.
This system is further described in Section 5.7.2.
Currently, the BNP staff has an automated dose projection capability as described in OPEP-03.4.7, Automation of Off-Site Dose Projection Procedures, OPEP-03.4.8, Offsite Dose Projections for Monitored Releases, and EMG-NGGC-0002, Off-Site Dose Assessment. By entering critical plant data and meteorological information obtained from the on-site meteorological station, dose projections can be made for various locations using the dose assessment program. This function has been designed and implemented to allow for the rapid determination of centerline doses for immediate use by plant personnel.
Additionally, contract meteorologists may be contacted by plant personnel.
Meteorological data display is available for remote integration as part of the Emergency Response Facility Information System (ERFIS).
This satisfies the NUREG-0654, Rev. 1 criteria for meteorological evaluation and remote interrogation.
OERP Rev. 82 4-8]
4.2.4 Emergency Environmental Monitoring The Site Emergency Coordinator is responsible for quickly evaluating meteorological conditions existing at the time of the incident and, where releases are or soon will be occurring, for dispatching monitoring teams to specified, predetermined downwind locations.
The prime objective of the initial emergency off-site monitoring is to confirm or modify the initial projections of the consequences of any release of radioactive material into the environment.
The Environmental Monitoring Teams collect samples and survey data and transmit information to and/or receive instructions from the Radiological Control Manager of the EOF staff (or Radiological Control Director, if the EOF is not activated).
Calculational aids, site maps, and actual radiation survey data collected by off-site survey teams define affected areas and assess the extent and significance of the release. Information is required for decision making with as little delay as possible; therefore, the initial environmental surveys involve simple-to-perform measurements so that the dose assessments based on plant parameters can be quickly confirmed or modified. Subsequent environmental monitoring efforts will be aimed at further defining the off-site consequences including estimates of total population exposure and instituting an expanded program to enable prompt assessments of any subsequent releases from the plant. Progress Energy Environmental Monitoring Teams will coordinate expanded environmental monitoring efforts to assist the agencies identified in Section 3.8. Field monitoring equipment will have at least the capability to detect and measure radioiodine in the vicinity of the plant site as low as 5 x 10-8 *.Ci/cm 3. The collected air sample can easily be measured by hand held survey meters, a simple test that can serve as an initial check of projected releases based on plant data and can confirm that significant quantities of elemental iodine have been released (the chemical form that would pose a health hazard). More detailed measurements (e.g., Sodium Iodide scintillation counters) can be quickly brought into service to provide the longer term higher capabilities to detect and measure very low levels of contamination in the environment, as would be planned for subsequent radiation monitoring efforts.
At least two environmental monitoring teams will initially be activated from the plant staff upon activation of the EOF by the Emergency Response Manager.
IOERP I Rev. 82 4-91
4.2.5 Emergency Response Data System (ERDS)
The Emergency Response Data System will supply the NRC with selected ERFIS data points on a near real time basis. This function will be activated by the Shift Technical Advisor within an hour of the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. The selected data points are transmitted via Virtual Private Network (VPN) to the NRC at approximately 1-minute intervals. If the primary ERFIS system fails (failover) the backup ERFIS system will resume sending the data to the NRC.
4.3 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Corrective actions that may be taken to mitigate the circumstances of various levels and types of emergencies identified in this plan are given in the Plant Operating Manual. Generally, corrective actions include any actions that are taken to repair damaged equipment, to install emergency structures, systems, and components, or to reduce the releases of radioactivity.
In order to maintain proficiency in implementing the various procedures and plans, there are training and retraining programs which in some cases are augmented by periodic drills and exercises. A description of this specialized training is given in Section 6.1.1.
4.4 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Protective actions are defined for each emergency class. Protective actions must take into consideration the potential risks of implementing such measures versus the reduction of the radiological risk achieved by their use.
Analyses of the spectrum of emergencies show that only those in the General Emergency class are expected to have consequences in excess of one Rem whole body (TEDE).
Protective action recommendation guidelines for the general public are described in OPEP-02.6.28, Off-Site Protective Action Recommendations.
Protective actions planned for on-site personnel are described in Section 4.4.2. Protective actions for the off-site population-at-risk are the responsibility of state and local agencies; however, representative actions at various dose levels are described in Section 4.4.7. The evaluation of Protective Action Guidelines for the intermediate phase and for ingestion pathways are the responsibility of the state.
OERP Rev. 82 4-101
4.4.1 Protective Action - Off Site Notification of off-site agencies will take place when EALs are exceeded (see Section 3.9). Any incident that is projected to result in radiation doses to the general public in excess of the Protective Action Guidelines listed in OPEP-02.6.28, Off-Site Protective Action Recommendations, requires the Site Emergency Coordinator to declare a General Emergency. The Emergency Response Manager will recommend to the state and counties protective measures for the public.
4.4.2 Protective Action - On Site 4.4.2.1 Warning and Notification The on-site PA system and appropriate alarms will be used to alert/warn and notify on-site personnel of an emergency and necessary protective actions as described in OPEP-02.1.1, Emergency Control - Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. In addition to the alarms, PEPs and security instructions provide guidance for on-site warning and notification. Such warning and notification will include persons at the Media and Visitors Center and the recreation area(s). Outside the plant protected area, and adjacent buildings, warning will be accomplished as described in Section 4.4.6 for the public.
OERP Rev. 82 4-11
4.4.2.2 Evacuation & Personnel Accountability For emergencies requiring protective actions in accordance with OPEP-03.8.2, Personnel Accountability and Evacuation, personnel will proceed by the safest, most direct route to the designated assembly locations or as directed by the Site Emergency Coordinator.
- 1. Shift operating personnel will assemble in the Control Room.
- 2. All personnel not specifically involved in responding to the emergency (non-essential) will assemble as directed.
- 3. All visitors will report to the Security Office at the protected area central access control point.
A personnel accountability check will be carried out in accordance with OPEP-03.8.2, Personnel Accountability and Evacuation. This procedure also provides instruction for the return of dosimeters and identifies the locations where contaminated individuals can be decontaminated.
Onsite medical care will be performed in accordance with OPEP-03.9.3, First Aid, Medical Care and Transport for Injured Personnel.
Search for missing persons and rescue will be performed as described in OPEP-03.9.6, Search and Rescue.
On-site personnel will evacuate the area when directed using transportation that was employed to arrive at the site.
Personnel without transportation will be identified during the assembly phase and provided transportation.
The secondary access road and the main plant access road may be used to depart from the site as advised, and evacuation from the 10-mile EPZ will be by way of evacuation routes identified in Figures 1.1-1, 1.1-2, and 4.4-1.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1 4-121
4.4.3 Control of Personnel Radiation Exposures Although an emergency situation transcends the normal requirements for limiting exposures to ionizing radiation, guideline levels are established in OPEP-03.7.7, Onsite Radiological Controls, for exposures that may be acceptable in emergencies. The maximum whole body (TEDE) dose received by any worker should not exceed established regulatory limits. Every reasonable effort will be used to ensure that an emergency is handled in such a manner that no worker exceeds these limits. The ERM or SEC can authorize exposure to radiation in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits.
The administration of radioprotective drugs such as potassium iodide (KI) to Progress Energy personnel may also be useful in mitigating the consequences of inhalation of radioactive materials such as radioiodines during an emergency.
Procedures for the administration of radioprotective drugs to Progress Energy and vendor employees are described in OPEP-03.7.6, Emergency Exposure Controls.
Decision making is based on conditions at the time of an emergency and should always consider the probable effects of an exposure prior to allowing any individual to be exposed to radiation levels exceeding the established occupational limits. The probable high radiation exposure effects are:
- 1. Up to 50 Rem EDE in 1 day - no physiological changes are likely to be observed.
- 2. 50 to 100 Rem EDE - no impairment likely but some physiological changes, including possible temporary blood changes, may occur.
Medical observations would be required after exposure.
- 3. 100 to 300 Rem EDE - some physical impairment possible. Some lethal exposures possible.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 4-13
The following subsections describe the criteria to be considered for life-saving and facility protection actions.
4.4.3.1 Exposure Control Under Emergency Conditions Dose limit guidelines for workers in an emergency are taken from EPA 400-R-92-001, Manual of Protective Actions and Protective Action Guidelines for Nuclear Incidents, U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency, May 1992. Much of the discussion in this section is taken in whole from that document.
In emergency situations, workers may receive exposure under a variety of circumstances in order to assure protection of others and of valuable property. These exposures will be justified if the maximum risks or costs to others that are avoided by their actions outweigh the risks to which the workers are subjected.
The Emergency Worker Dose Limit Guidelines are as follows:
Dose Limit 1 (REM TEDE) Activity Condition 5 All 10 Protecting valuable property Lower dose is not practicable 25 Lifesaving or protection of large Lower dose is not populations practicable
>25 Lifesaving or protection of large Only on a voluntary basis to populations persons fully aware of the risks involved Routine dose limits shall not be extended to emergency dose limits for declared pregnant individuals. As in the case of normal occupational exposure, doses received under emergency conditions should be maintained as low as reasonably achievable.
Doses to the lens of the eye should be limited to three times the stated TEDE value and doses to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) should be limited to ten times the stated TEDE value.
OERP Rev. 82 4-14]
In the context of these guidelines, exposure of workers that is incurred for the protection of large populations may be considered justified for situations in which the collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred by the workers involved.
Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Rem TEDE should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved, including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effect.
4.4.3.2 Exposures During Repair/Reentry Efforts Each emergency worker entering a high radiation area shall wear dosimetry capable of measuring the expected exposure to be received.
Emergency teams that must enter areas where they might be expected to receive higher than normal doses will be fully briefed regarding their duties and actions and what they are to do while in the area. They will also be fully briefed as to expected dose rates, stay time, and other hazards. All such entries will include one Health Physics Technician, or other person adequately trained in health physics. All team members will use protective devices as specified by the Radiological Control Director. The team members will be instructed not to deviate from the planned route unless required by unanticipated conditions, such as rescue or performance of an operation that would minimize the emergency condition. If the monitored dose rates or stay times encountered during the entry exceed the limits set for the operation, the team will communicate with the OSC Mission Coordinator or will return to the area from where they were dispatched.
Once their operation has been completed, the team personnel will follow established monitoring and personnel decontamination procedures as specified by the Radiological Control Director.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 4-15
4.4.4 Radioactive Contamination 4.4.4.1 On-Site Personnel Radiation safety controls are established to contain the spread of loose surface radioactive contamination. Personnel leaving the contaminated areas are monitored to ensure that they or their clothing are not radioactively contaminated. Additionally, in the event of a site evacuation, no personnel will be allowed to leave the plant Owner Controlled Area (OCA) until they have been checked for contamination. In addition to the decontamination area of the Service Building, additional areas can be set up inside the entrance to the TSC/EOF Building.
Contaminated clothing or personal articles will be decontaminated or replaced. Drinking water and food supplies will be monitored and, during an emergency, permitted only in specified clean areas. Contamination on personnel will be removed in accordance with established E&RC procedures. If normal decontamination procedures do not reduce contamination to acceptable levels, the case will be referred to a competent medical authority.
4.4.4.2 Equipment and Vehicles Equipment and tools will be released for use outside of the contaminated areas only if loose surface radioactive contamination is within acceptable limits. All tools and items of equipment must be checked for contamination before being taken from a known contaminated area. If the item is found to be contaminated and decontamination is not practical, the item must remain in that area. In the event of a site evacuation, vehicles will be surveyed for contamination before they are allowed to leave the plant site. Contaminated vehicles will be decontaminated before being released. If the Low Level Radwaste Warehouse is not a suitable decontamination site due to radiological concerns, vehicles will be directed to an alternate area for decontamination. Brunswick County Emergency Management may provide assistance in this area.
OERP Rev. 82 4-16
4.4.5 Treatment of Injured and Contaminated Persons Personnel showers and chemical decontamination agents are available on site and, except in cases of life-threatening/serious injury, established decontamination procedures will be employed on site prior to medical treatment. Decontamination showers and supplies are provided in the Service Building. Shower and sink drains in the Service Building are routed to the miscellaneous waste processing system where the liquid is processed and monitored prior to discharge.
Arrangements and facilities for medical treatment of injured plant personnel are described in detail in Appendix E - Medical Treatment and Assistance and in OPEP-03.9.3, First Aid, Medical Care and Transport for Injured Personnel. Depending on the nature and severity of injury, injured personnel may be treated in-plant by individuals trained in first aid, treated in-plant by a physician, or transported to the hospital for treatment (see OPEP-03.9.3, First Aid, Medical Care and Transport for Injured Personnel).
In cases of severe injury, lifesaving first aid or medical treatment will take precedence over personnel decontamination. In general, the order of medical treatment will be:
- 1. Care of severe physical injuries.
- 2. Personnel decontamination.
- 3. First aid to other injuries.
- 4. Ambulance Service
- 5. Definitive medical treatment and subsequent therapy as required.
Definitive medical treatment, therapy, and evaluation may include radioprotective drugs; urinary bio-assays or whole body counts on persons suspected of inhaling or ingesting a significant amount of radioactive material or may include surveillance and therapy for persons receiving a large whole body dose.
OERP Rev. 82 4-171
4.4.6 Public Warning and Notification In the event of an emergency, the plant will notify designated emergency officials in Brunswick and New Hanover counties as well as state and federal officials in accordance with OPEP-02.6.21, Emergency Communicator.
During the ALERT phase of an emergency, the appropriate county and state emergency group leaders will be requested to remain in a readiness condition to alert the population at risk if needed. The plant will recommend protective actions for the public upon declaration of a General Emergency.
Public warning when deemed necessary will be accomplished as described in the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of the BNP. Warning will be given by such methods as sirens supplemented by radio, television, sound trucks, bullhorns, and knocking on doors. The Coast Guard will be used in notifying people along the coast and other large bodies of water where appropriate and necessary.
Sirens mounted on utility poles have been installed by Progress Energy at 38 locations within a 10-mile radius of the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant. Since the average ambient noise level throughout the EPZ is about 49dBA, the siren system is planned to provide a 59dBA minimum signal. The warning signal will be a 3-to-5-minute steady tone on the sirens.
Sirens will not be sited in the Sunny Point Army Terminal. Brunswick County will notify the terminal which will alert its personnel using on-site warning methods.
Sirens will not be sited in areas of no or low population. Large areas of Brunswick County consist of swamps and forests with no or low population. These areas include such tracts as the Orton Plantation, the western section of Boiling Springs Lakes, and some areas south of Route 211. Based on land use history, they show little promise of development. However, the warning system will be reviewed annually and upgraded when conditions warrant.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1 4-181
Activation of the sirens will be accomplished from the Brunswick and New Hanover Counties Emergency Operation Centers. The sirens in each county are independently controlled, but may be activated by Progress Energy with permission from the counties. A feedback system immediately alerts Progress Energy and both counties of any siren failure. The U.S. Coast Guard will perform the warning of people on bodies of water under their jurisdiction.
The population at risk in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is subdivided into three general categories: resident (permanent) population, transient population, and special facility population as described in Brunswick Nuclear Plant Development of Evacuation Time Estimates, prepared by KLD Associates, May 2008. The total resident population affected within the 10-mile EPZ is approximately 35,186. During the summer months, June through August, the daytime population of the EPZ is approximately 110,283 (see Figure 1.1-6, 1.1-6a and 1.1-6-b). The population is concentrated along the coast and a relatively few inland roads.
4.4.7 Protective Actions - Off Site/Public 4.4.7.1 Public Education and Information Occupants in the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) will be provided information prepared by Progress Energy in conjunction with the state and county agencies. This public education and information program is intended to ensure that members of the public are: (a) aware of the potential for an occurrence of a radiological emergency; (b) able to recognize a radiological emergency notification; and (c) knowledgeable of the proper, immediate actions to be taken upon notification.
This will be accomplished by: (1) distribution of the annual safety information brochure which contains educational information on emergency preparedness, sheltering, sirens, radiation, and telephone numbers of agencies to contact for more information; (2) availability of qualified personnel to address civic, religious, social and occupational organizations; and (3) distribution of news material to the media and numerous community and business newsletters.
OERP Rev. 82 4-19
Emergency information will be made available to transient populations through the distribution of safety information brochures to commercial establishments in the 10-mile EPZ.
During an actual emergency, provisions will be established through the Joint Information Center to make available and distribute information to the news media. The Joint Information Center will also implement provisions for a number of telephones which members of the public, who hear rumors, can call for factual information.
The public education and information program is further described in Section 6.1.4.
4.4.7.2 General For emergencies requiring protective actions for the general public in designated off-site areas, state agencies will determine the advisability of any necessary evacuation or sheltering. Local agencies will conduct the protective actions as warranted. Assembly points would vary depending on the severity of the incident and on the prevailing weather conditions. To assist in this effort, Progress Energy will provide up-to-date assessments of the condition of the plant and of the quantity and rate of release of radioactivity. Progress Energy will also assist by performing dose assessments which will be compared to the protective action guidelines.
The protective actions that Progress Energy recommends to the state will be based upon current meteorological data such as wind direction, speed and stability class, and other factors.
Releases affecting off-site areas may not be of the magnitude requiring evacuation, areas within the 10-mile EPZ that do not evacuate will be recommended to shelter.
Detailed procedures for public protective actions are contained in the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of BNP.
OERP Rev. 82 4-20
4.4.7.3 Evacuation In the event that evacuation of the 10-mile EPZ is required, the evacuation routes shown in Figure 1.1-2 and Figure 4.4-1 will be used by on-site and off-site personnel.
The time required to evacuate personnel from the 10-mile EPZ varies depending on whether a part of the EPZ is to be evacuated or all of it, on the time of year such as winter or summer, etc., as illustrated in Figure 4.4-2 and on other factors as shown in Table 4.4-1.
It should be noted that the evacuation process in itself involves risk to the public. Risks resulting from evacuation are discussed in US EPA Report, EPA 400-R-92-00, Appendix C.
4.4.7.4 Shelter All sectors that are not recommended to evacuate will be recommended to shelter. The state may consider sheltering for special populations or hazardous environmental conditions.
Special populations may include institutionalized or infirm persons. Hazardous environmental conditions may include the presence of severe weather or competing disasters.
The local housing consists primarily of wood framed dwellings, 1 and 2 stories that are over 10 years old. Very few houses have basements. There are a number of brick veneer dwellings of later construction and a fairly small even distribution of house trailers.
The term Protection Factor (PF) refers to a number used to express the relationship between the amount of gamma radiation that would be received by an unprotected person and the amount that would be received by a person in shelter. An occupant of a shelter with a PF of 40 would be exposed to 1/40 (2.5 percent) of the dose or dose rate to which he would be exposed if his location were unprotected (Sheltered Dose = Unsheltered Dose - PF).
Protection factors for various shielding materials are given in Figure 4.4-3 and for various structures and vehicles in Tables 4.4-2, 4.4-3, and 4.4-4.
OERP Rev. 82 4-21
4.4.7.5 Respiratory Protection It is unlikely that effective public respiratory protection can be provided by improvised devices. This problem will be studied and provisions incorporated in this plan in the event satisfactory systems are found.

PROGRESS ENERGY BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PLANT (BNP)
RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN (ERP) 5.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT To facilitate efficient and effective control and coordination of the numerous actions required during emergency situations, several facilities have been designated as emergency centers for Brunswick. These facilities are linked by a comprehensive communications network to allow accurate and timely communications between the facilities, outside agencies, and the public. The communications network uses AT&T systems, fiber optic, Progress Energy microwave net, data links, and radio to provide: (a) voice communication through normal telephone use, automatic ringdown between selected facilities, conference call capability, speaker phones and operator assistance where required; (b) radio communications between selected Progress Energy vehicles and appropriate fixed locations, as well as with state mobile units and fixed locations; (c) facsimile and computer local and wide area networks. (A detailed listing of the Brunswick emergency communications systems is presented as Appendix A.)
The purpose of emergency response facilities is to provide centralized locations for organized coordination and control of on-site and off-site activities during an emergency. Each emergency response organization must assure that a location is provided from where they may direct the activities for which they are responsible, while providing for coordination of activities with other organizations.
Facilities are needed to function as a center for the licensee's command and control functions of on-site operations, including coordination of all licensee activities, on site and off site. Also needed is a center for the analysis of plant effluent monitors, meteorological conditions, and off-site radiation measurements, and for off-site dose projections. As discussed in Section 3 additional facilities are needed where information regarding current and projected plant status needed by federal, state, and local authorities for implementation of off-site emergency plans can be transmitted, where key representatives of the agencies can meet and where the press can operate.
The above functions are carried out by the interaction of the Control Room, the Operational Support Center, the Technical Support Center, the Emergency Operations Facility, the Joint Information Center, and the State and Local Emergency Operations Centers. These centers are connected with a comprehensive, redundant communications network.
IOERP IRev. 82 1 5-1
In the emergency facilities, decisions and responses are based upon approved procedures and controlled drawings. Uncontrolled drawings and other documents may be used for reference if identified with "FOR INFORMATION ONLY" or "FOR TRAINING USE ONLY." Material identified as "FOR INFORMATION ONLY" or "FOR TRAINING USE ONLY" will not be used in place of approved procedures or controlled drawings.
The functional capabilities of the Brunswick emergency facilities are presented in Table 5.0-2, and the physical locations of on-site emergency facilities are shown on Figure 1.1-3. Specific information about the facilities and equipment available for dealing with emergencies at Brunswick is presented in the following sections.
5.1 CONTROL ROOM The function of the Control Room is plant control. All plant-related operations are directed from the Control Room. The Control Room is designed to meet habitability standards as described in the Brunswick UFSAR.
Nuclear plant instrumentation, including area and process radiation monitoring system instrumentation, is provided in the Control Room to give early warning of a potential emergency and provides for a continuing evaluation of the emergency situation. The Control Room contains the controls and instrumentation necessary for operation of the reactors and turbine generators under normal and emergency situations.
Additional equipment such as portable radiation survey instruments, readout of meteorological instrumentation and communication equipment is available in the Control Room. A supply of protective clothing, respiratory equipment, and self-contained breathing apparatus will also be maintained in the Control Room.
5.2 TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER The Technical Support Center (TSC) provides a location to house personnel who are responsible for management and technical support of plant operations during emergency conditions. The TSC also functions to relieve the Reactor Operators of peripheral duties and communications not directly related to reactor system manipulations and preventing congestion in the Control Room. In the event of a loss of power, an auxiliary diesel generator is located near the building to supply an alternate source of power.
OERP Rev. 82 5-2
The TSC will be activated for an alert or higher classification. Activation for an unusual event is optional.
If it should become necessary to expedite travel between the TSC and Control Room, Security has provisions in place to provide direct access between the TSC and the protected area.
The TSC and EOF share a common building which has been designed to have the same habitability as the Control Room, except that the TSC and EOF building does not have chlorine detectors. The north wall is 18 inches thick and the other walls and roof are 14 inches thick. The ventilation system is described in Section 5.2.1.
In the event the TSC is evacuated the Control Room will serve as the alternate location. If travel to the site is unsafe or may endanger personnel, the TSC staff will report to the Alternate Emergency Facility.
5.2.1 TSC/EOF EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM The TSC/EOF Building Ventilation System is equipped with two (2) filter systems (containing both HEPA and charcoal filters), one for each of the two ventilation intake locations (Mechanical Rooms 134 and 165). The TSC/EOF Building Ventilation System is equipped with two intake air monitors which are Eberline SRM-100 monitors with SPA-8 probes. The probes are installed in the intake air ducts where detection of a high level of radiation can automatically trigger the HVAC system to actuate emergency fans to direct intake air through the filter trains.
The intake air radiation monitors are provided with an audible local alarm that is located on the radiation monitor. When the alarm setpoint is reached, the monitor will energize its associated radiation monitor relay, which will automatically activate an emergency fan to redirect the intake air through the associated filtering system.
5.2.2 TSC/EOF EMERGENCY CONTAMINATED DRAIN SYSTEM During an emergency, contaminated drainage could occur at the decontamination shower. An emergency drain system is provided to isolate potential contaminated drainage which can be collected in a 1,000 gallon holding tank. For normal operating conditions, all drainage would be collected by the sanitary drain lines. The holding tank is located underground on the west side of the building. Manually operated valves allow the rerouting of potentially contaminated liquid to the 1,000 gallon holding tank.
OERP IRev. 82 5-3
5.3 OPERATIONAL SUPPORT CENTER The purpose of the Operational Support Center (OSC) is to minimize congestion in the Control Room during emergencies by providing a location, separate from the Control Room, where plant maintenance, operations, E&RC, and other plant emergency support personnel will assemble and stand by to assist as needed. The Operational Support Center is located in the O&M Building.
When the OSC is activated, dosimetry, respiratory protection, radiation survey equipment, and RWPs will be provided. In the event of a personnel contamination, decontamination will be performed in the area normally designated for this purpose. In the event the OSC is evacuated, a backup can also be provided in the Simulator. The Simulator is within the habitability envelope of the TSC/EOF.
5.4 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), located on site provides space for management of overall emergency response including coordination with federal, state, and local officials, coordination of off-site radiological and environmental assessment, and determination of recommended public protective actions. The EOF is activated at an alert or higher level. The EOF is in the same habitability envelope as the TSC. If the Joint Information Center (JIC) is not activated, conditions permitting, the media may go the BNP Media Center to be updated.
If radiological conditions prevent EOF personnel from traveling to the EOF for activation, the Brunswick County Emergency Services Facility in Bolivia, N.C. will serve as a meeting place for personnel until radiological conditions permit travel to the facility. The Brunswick County Emergency Services Facility may also be used as an alternate reporting location for TSC, OSC, and EOF personnel in the event of a security threat, and function as an Alternate Emergency Facility, until safe movement of personnel to the plant is assured.
OERP Rev. 82 5-41
5.5 JOINT INFORMATION CENTER The Joint Information Center (JIC), located in the Brunswick Community College Complex near Bolivia, N.C., will serve as the primary location for the accumulation of accurate and current information regarding emergency conditions, and dissemination of information to news media and the general public. Work stations are provided for Company personnel and a media briefing room is available. Telephones are available for use by news media personnel. The center also contains work space and phones for public information personnel from the state, counties, NRC and industry-related organizations. Additional information can be found in OPEP-02.6.29, Activation and Operation of the Joint Information Center (JIC). If the JIC is not activated, conditions permitting, the media may go to the BNP Media Center to obtain current information regarding emergency conditions.
5.6 OFF-SITE EMERGENCY FACILITIES 5.6.1 North Carolina Emergency Operations Center The North Carolina Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located in Raleigh, North Carolina. When necessary, it will be activated and staffed to assist in coordinating emergency operations in support of the Brunswick Nuclear Plant.
5.6.2 Brunswick County Emergency Operations Center The Brunswick County Emergency Operations Center is located in the Brunswick County Administration Complex in Bolivia, North Carolina, about fifteen miles from the Brunswick site. It provides a location where Brunswick County authorities can direct off-site activities in Brunswick County. If radiological conditions prevent EOF personnel from traveling to the EOF for activation, the Brunswick County Complex in Bolivia, N.C. will serve as a meeting place for personnel until radiological conditions permit travel to the facility. This facility presently has direct communications links with the Brunswick Nuclear Plant TSC and EOF, and will allow free interchange of information between government officials and those persons located in the TSC and EOF responsible for dose projection and management decision making. The Brunswick County Complex may also be used as an alternate reporting location for TSC, OSC, and EOF personnel in the event of a security threat, and function as an Alternate Emergency Facility, until safe movement of personnel to the plant is assured.
OERP Rev. 82 5-5 1
5.6.3 New Hanover County Emergency Operations Center The New Hanover County Emergency Operations Center is located in the New Hanover County Law Enforcement Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, about 20 miles from the Brunswick site. It provides a location where New Hanover County authorities can direct off-site activities in New Hanover County. This facility presently has direct communications links with the Brunswick Nuclear Plant TSC and EOF, and will allow free interchange of information between government officials and those persons located in the TSC and EOF responsible for dose projection and management decision making.
5.7 ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES 5.7.1 General The instrumentation and control systems monitor, provide indication and recording, and automatically regulate the variables necessary for safe and orderly operation of the plant. These systems provide the operators with the information and controls needed to start up, operate at power, and shut down the plant. They further provide means to cope with all abnormal operating conditions. Plant control and display of information from these various systems are centralized in the Control Room at locations convenient to the operator. This instrumentation, in conjunction with projected off-site doses, provides the basis for initiation of protective actions.
R 5.7.2 Meteorological Instrumentation and Procedures The Brunswick Nuclear Plant has a permanent meteorological monitoring station located within the site area boundary for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and temperature differences for use in making off-site dose projections, etc. Meteorological information is presented in the Control Room by means of the plant computer system. The meteorological parameters measured on the tower at the 10-meter and 100-meter levels above ground are listed in Table 5.7-1. In addition, barometric pressure, solar radiation, precipitation and dew point temperature data are recorded at the station to provide supplemental information on local meteorological conditions. This information is remotely interrogatable using a computer or other data access terminal.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 5-61
The meteorological sensors used at the BNP meteorological monitoring station are calibrated at least twice during an annual calendar year (approximately six months between calibrations).
Meteorological sensors which are removed from service are replaced with a recalibrated unit having met original equipment manufacturer specifications. Between calibrations, an electronic verification of system performance will be made and, if necessary, adjustments to the system will be performed. This electronic verification shall be performed at least once between calibrations. BNP personnel will make periodic visits to the monitoring station to assure that components are functioning as anticipated. Further checks of the data are made by remote interrogation of the monitoring station by a meteorological service provider, where the data is reviewed by the meteorological staff to determine system performance and the acceptability of the reported information. Historical records and data will be maintained with the Environmental Unit for effluent reporting.
The meteorological instrumentation which Progress Energy uses at the BNP meteorological monitoring station meets the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.23 (Rev. 0) and provides the meteorological parameters to the locations specified within NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97 (Rev. 2), Table 1 and Table 2. As specified within Section 8.2 of the Supplement Number 1 to NUREG-0737, Progress Energy maintains telephone numbers for voice communications to the nearest National Weather Service first order observation station (Wilmington, NC) for twenty-four hour per day access to this backup meteorological information should the on-site system fail. This backup source of meteorological data is the closest location which can provide reliable representative meteorological information for the BNP site.
Should the on-site meteorological data collection system exhibit suspect information, loss of data due to computer or instrument failure, or plant personnel require additional technical assistance, meteorologists are available to provide needed expertise.
Meteorologists can independently access on-site meteorological data, contact the National Weather Service to obtain additional synoptic scale weather data and compile a site specific atmospheric diffusion assessment for BNP site.
IOERP I Rev. 82 5-71
5.7.3 Seismic Monitoring The Brunswick Seismic Monitoring System senses and records earthquake ground motion received in the Unit 2 Reactor Building.
The Seismic Monitoring System consists of a Passive Subsystem and an Active Subsystem. The Passive Subsystem has no immediate visual indication of an event, whereas the Active Subsystem actually displays an immediate visual indication.
The Passive Subsystem consists of three self-contained Multi-Element Triaxial Peak Accelerographs and are located as follows:
- 1. Unit 2 Reactor Building Basement/Equipment Drain Tank (Elevation -17 ft).
- 2. Unit 2 Reactor Building RHR Heat Exchanger Support (Elevation 20 ft).
- 3. Unit 2 Reactor Building Refueling Area (Elevation 117 ft).
The peak shock recorders measure and record the acceleration of the structure. The peak shock recorder senses and permanently records the information defining a response spectrum.
The Unit 2 Active Seismic Monitoring System senses and records earthquake ground motion in two areas of the Unit 2 Reactor Building where remote accelerometers are installed:
- 1. Basement foundation in North Core Spray Room (Elevation -17ft).
- 2. Containment structure (Elevation +89ft).
The Active Seismic Monitoring System that receives ground motion signals from the remote accelerometers consists of a central controller, LCD display monitor, alarm and interconnect panel, battery backup dual recorder unit, printer, and UPS battery backup power supply for the central controller. The Seismic Monitoring System remains in a standby condition until an earthquake causes the remote accelerometers to activate the recording unit.
Earthquakes produce low frequency accelerations which, when detected by the remote sensing devices, will be recorded at the remote locations as well as by the accelographs located in the electronic equipment rooms.
OERP Rev. 82 5-81
A considerable array of seismometers is located in the region. A central point of contact to obtain information about a seismic event is the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado.
5.7.4 Radiological Monitors The radiation monitoring system is available to give early warning of a possible emergency and provides for a continuing evaluation of the emergency situation in the Control Room. Radiation monitoring instruments are located at selected areas within the facility to detect, measure, and record radiation levels. In the event the radiation level should increase above a preset level, an alarm is initiated in the Control Room. Certain radiation monitoring instruments also alarm locally in selected areas of the facility. The radiation monitoring system is divided into four subsystems:
- 1. Process radiation monitoring system monitors various fluid streams in operating systems.
- 2. Area radiation monitors that monitor radiation levels at various locations within the operating area that can be read in the Control Room.
- 3. Continuous air monitors measure airborne particulate and/or airborne iodine activities at various locations within the operating areas.
- 4. Radiation monitoring equipment with readouts in various plant locations.
The types, ranges, and locations of monitors are listed in Tables 5.7-2 to 5.7-4. Typical portable radiation monitors are listed in Table 5.7-4.
The radiation monitors are designed to permit monitoring of activity releases during a broad spectrum of postulated emergency situations.
The locations of the off-site and on-site environmental monitoring stations and the location of the emergency TLD monitoring stations are contained in plant Environmental and Radiation Control Procedures and OPEP-04.6, Radiological Emergency Kit Inventories.
IOERP I Rev. 82 5-91
5.7.5 Process Monitors Instrumentation used to monitor vital plant parameters is described in Section 7 of the Brunswick FSAR. This instrumentation is continuously monitored in the Control Room. Essential process monitoring (Critical Plant Variables) will also be available in the Technical Support Center.
5.7.6 Laboratory Facilities Support of the radiation monitoring and analysis effort is provided by an on-site laboratory. The on-site laboratory includes equipment for chemical analyses and for analysis of radioactivity.
The wet chemistry equipment is used to perform a variety of analyses (pH, conductivity, boron content of reactor coolant, etc.). It is also used to perform radiochemical analyses (preparation of samples to permit analysis of the radioactivity content).
Equipment used to analyze the type and amount of radioactivity in filters, smears, etc., is located adjacent to the chemistry lab. This includes a multichannel analyzer (Ge-Li) used to determine the isotopic content in a sample, a liquid scintillation counter for tritium analyses, and gas proportional counter for gross alpha, and gross beta activity.
Much of this equipment is rack mounted; some is readily portable.
Additional facilities for counting and analyses of Brunswick samples can be provided by laboratory facilities at the Harris Nuclear Plant, including the Harris Energy and Environmental Center (HEEC) located near New Hill, North Carolina, and by the Robinson Nuclear Plant located in Hartsville, South Carolina.
As described in the State of North Carolina Radiological Emergency Response Plan, the Division of Radiation Protection maintains a mobile radiological laboratory.
OERP Rev. 82 5-101
5.7.7 Dose Projection The magnitude of releases of radioactive material can be determined from effluent and process monitors based on OPEP-03.4.7, Automation of Off-Site Dose Projection Procedures OPEP-03.4.8, Offsite Dose Projections for Monitored Releases and EMG-NGGC-0002, Off-Site Dose Assessment. Additionally, an independent confirmation of the magnitude of a release can be obtained by environmental monitoring as described in 0PEP-02.6.6, Environmental Monitoring Team Leader and OPEP-03.5.5, Environmental Monitoring and Plume Tracking. Given a source term, or the duration and rate of release to the environment, and meteorological data previously described, the Control Room can make the initial dose projections and is capable of performing this function on a 24-hour-per-day basis. After activation of the EOF, the Radiological Control Manager described in Section 3.5.4 is responsible to the Emergency Response Manager for determining dose projections from readily available data. OPEP-03.4.7, Automation of Off-Site Dose Projection Procedures, OPEP-03.4.8, Offsite Dose Projections for Monitored Releases, and EMG-NGGC-0002, Off-Site Dose Assessment, describe computer programs which automate dose projection calculations when used in conjunction with the BNP meteorological systems.
5.8 FIRE DETECTION The Fire Detection System is designed to quickly detect visible or invisible smoke (or other products of combustion) and/or heat in designated areas of the plant.
The Fire Detection System consists primarily of fire/smoke detectors, control panel units, and annunciator panels. A fire signal initiated by a detector flows through a control panel unit to an annunciator panel. The control panel unit is located in the same building as the detector. The annunciator panel is located in the Control Room.
The types and number of detectors have been selected in accordance with the combustible materials and electrical equipment present in the area and the physical surroundings of each area. Smoke detectors sense the presence of products of combustion before they are visible in the form of smoke. Thermal detectors are sensitive to both temperature and the rate of rise of increasing temperature. SD-41 provides a description of detector types, numbers, and locations.
OERP Rev. 82 5-11 1
5.9 PROTECTIVE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT OPEP-04.6, Radiological Emergency Kit Inventories, lists emergency equipment that is available for the various Brunswick emergency facilities.
Complete personnel decontamination facilities are included in the Service Building. These facilities include two decontamination showers. Alternate means for decontamination are also available.
5.10 FIRST AID AND MEDICAL FACILITIES First Aid is located on the first floor of the O&M Building. First aid kits and supplies are also placed at various locations throughout the plant.
Off-site medical facilities which have agreed to accept personnel are described in Appendix E, Medical Treatment and Assistance.
5.11 DAMAGE CONTROL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES In the event of an emergency, certain immediate repairs may be necessary to minimize the further release of radioactivity and also insure the protection of plant equipment. Damage control equipment and supplies that would be used to effect repair would depend on the nature of the repairs to be performed.
Damage control equipment and supplies are located in the stockroom and the maintenance shops.
5.12 OFF-SITE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES In the event of an emergency, the plant has the capability to deploy two off-site environmental monitoring teams as described in OPEP-02.6.6, Environmental Monitoring Team Leader. Two environmental monitoring kits with the necessary equipment and supplies for off-site radiological monitoring are designated for use in the event of an emergency.
Transportation for off-site environmental monitoring teams will be supplied by plant vehicles and other Company trucks as available or private autos at the site. OPEP-04.6, Radiological Emergency Kit Inventories, lists emergency equipment that is available.

For the above intervals, a maximum allowable extension is permitted subject to the following restrictions:
o The maximum allowable extension shall not exceed 25% of the specified interval.
o The combined time interval for any three consecutive intervals shall not exceed 3.25 times the specified interval.
This definition for periodic requirements applies to all intervals in the emergency plan and plant emergency procedures except for the evaluated exercise which is conducted once every two calendar years, and off-site training which is conducted once per calendar year.
OERP tRev. 82 6-1
6.1 ORGANIZATIONAL PREPAREDNESS Organizational preparedness is maintained through an integrated training program that includes general orientation of all persons at the site and detailed training of individuals and groups required to perform specific functions and actions during an emergency condition. The training program provides initial training and annual retraining of the emergency response organization. Significant changes in the content of this Plan and procedures which implement this Plan are distributed by memorandum to the appropriate plant groups.
6.1.1 Training The primary objectives of the training program are to:
- 1. Familiarize appropriate individuals with the Plan and the procedures that implement the Plan.
- 2. Instruct assigned individuals and their alternates in their duties and responsibilities.
- 3. When appropriate, train on significant changes in the scope or contents of the Plan or procedures which implement the Plan.
- 4. Provide annual refresher training and retesting to ensure that Emergency Plan personnel are familiar with their duties and responsibilities assigned by the Plan and procedures which implement the Plan.
Each individual, other than escorted personnel, is provided with initial orientation training on the notification and instruction methods used at the Brunswick plant in the event of an emergency. Appropriate actions for escorted individuals shall be the responsibility of the escort.
Each badged individual, other than escorted personnel, also receives initial orientation on the basic principles of radiological safety including the effects of radiation and the theory and use of radiation detection devices.
The Emergency Plan Training Program described in OPEP-04.3 assures training of those individuals who may be called to respond to an emergency at the Brunswick plant by providing initial training and annual refresher training and retesting on the scope and content of the Plan and procedures which implement the Plan.
OERP Rev. 82 6-2
The Emergency Plan Training Program provides training for the following groups of personnel to perform the specific tasks assigned to them in the emergency organization.
Site Emergency Coordinator TSC Staff Personnel Security Personnel Fire Brigade/First Aid Personnel Dose Projection Personnel Radiological Emergency Teams Emergency Communicators EOF Personnel OSC Personnel JIC Personnel Plant Operators Off-site groups who may be requested to assist in an emergency.
Training of off-site organizations is described in their radiological emergency plans. Training by Progress Energy for hospital, ambulance, rescue, police, and fire personnel will include the procedures for notification, basic radiation protection, and their expected roles. For those local services support organizations who may enter the site, training by Progress Energy will also include site access procedures and the identity (by position and title) of the individual in the Brunswick organization who will control the organization's support activities. Progress Energy will assist these off-site organizations in performing their radiological emergency response training as related to the Brunswick plant.
Progress Energy and the public information officials from the state and local governments will jointly make available an annual program to acquaint the news media with the company, state and county emergency plans and procedures. The program also includes information concerning radiation, nuclear plant operations and official points of contact for release of public information.
Severe Accident Management training and drills will be conducted in accordance with Severe Accident Management Program and Training Procedures.
OERP Rev. 82 6-3]
6.1.2 Drills and Exercises This section describes provisions for conducting periodic drills and exercises to test the adequacy of the Plan and implementing procedures, emergency equipment, and the preparation and training of emergency personnel.
Each exercise scenario will include the following:
- 1. The basic objective(s) of the exercise.
- 2. The date(s), time period, place(s), and participating organizations.
- 3. The simulated events.
- 4. A time schedule of simulated initiating events.
- 5. A narrative summary describing the conduct of the exercises to include such things as simulated casualties, off-site fire or police department assistance, rescue of personnel, use of protective clothing, deployment of radiological monitoring teams, and public information activities.
- 6. Arrangements for qualified observers.
OERP Rev. 82 6-4
6.1.2.1 Drills Emergency drills are supervised instruction periods aimed at testing, developing and maintaining skills, and to ensure that adequate emergency response capabilities are maintained during the interval between evaluated exercises. Periodic drills will be conducted, in addition to the evaluated exercise as follows:
- 1. General: At least one drill shall be conducted during the interval between evaluated exercises involving a combination of some of the principal functional areas of the organization's onsite emergency response capabilities. The principal functional areas of emergency response include activities such as management and coordination of emergency response, accident assessment, protective action decision making, and plant system repair and corrective actions. During these drills, activation of all of the emergency response facilities (Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)) is not necessary. Participants have the opportunity to consider accident management strategies, supervised instruction is permitted, and participants have the opportunity to resolve problems (success paths) rather than have controllers intervene. The drills focus on onsite training objectives.
- 2. Communications Drills: A system to test the readiness of the communications network between the plant and state and county governments within the ten-mile EPZ and the NRC will be conducted monthly. Communications between the plant, federal emergency response organizations, and states within the 50-mile EPZ will be tested quarterly. Communications between the plant and state and local emergency operation centers and field assessment teams shall be conducted annually.
- 3. Fire Drills: Fire drills will be conducted in accordance with the Fire Protection Program.
- 4. Medical Emergency Drills: Medical emergency drills involving a simulated contaminated individual will be conducted annually. The actual off-site portions of these drills may be conducted once per calendar year.
OERP Rev. 82 6-5
- 5. Radiological Monitoring Drills: Radiological monitoring drills will be conducted annually. These drills will include collection of the appropriate sample media both on site and off site as the drill scenario requires.
- 6. In-Plant Radiation Protection Drills: Radiation protection drills, including response to and analysis of simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples and direct radiation measurements will be conducted semiannually. This may be held in conjunction with the Radiological Monitoring Drills.
- 7. Augmentation Drills: Augmentation Drills requiring travel to the site shall be conducted twice every calendar year.
- 8. SAMG drills: Severe Accident Management Guideline table-top and/or inter-facility mini-drills will be conducted periodically and will involve a combination of some of the principal functional areas of the organization's onsite emergency response capabilities similar to that described in General drills (6.1.2.1.1) above.
- 9. Each organization should make provisions to start a drill between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
The above drills will be evaluated by a drill evaluator (communication drills will not require an evaluator). The degree of participation by outside agencies in conducting these drills may vary and their action may actually be simulated. Any state or local government located within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will be allowed to participate in the drills when requested by such State or local government.
OERP Rev. 82 6-61
6.1.2.2 Exercises An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability of major response organizations. An emergency exercise will be conducted once every two calendar years and will be based on a scenario which is ultimately declared at least as a Site Area Emergency. The scenario will be varied from exercise to exercise such that all elements of the plant, county, and state plans and emergency organizations are tested within a 6-year period. The plant will demonstrate an emergency response to a Hostile Action at least once within a 6 year period. Once every six years, the exercise will be expanded to allow involvement of the federal response organizations in addition to the state and local organizations. Advance knowledge of the scenarios and the times of the exercises will be kept to a minimum to ensure a realistic participation by those involved.
Each exercise scenario will include a list of performance objectives and a description of the expected responses.
Specific tasks to be evaluated are:
- 1. Condition recognition and reporting
- 2. Assessment
- 3. Off-site notification, including Progress Energy off-site personnel and protective action recommendations
- 4. Off-site response
- 5. Site response coordination, including logistics, center manning, information gathering and analysis, and coordination with off-site agencies
- 6. Corrective actions
- 7. Protective actions
- 8. Record keeping
- 9. Monitoring
- 10. Plant operation IOERP Rev. 82 6-77
Qualified evaluators from Progress Energy, federal, state, or local governments will observe and critique each exercise. A critique will be scheduled at the conclusion of each exercise to evaluate the ability of all participating organizations to respond. The critique will be held as soon as possible after the exercise. A formal written evaluation of the exercise will be prepared by the Emergency Planning Coordinator, or his designee, following the critique.
Exercise controllers, evaluators, and participants (if appropriate) will prepare written descriptions of the actions they observed and will comment as to how the part of the exercise they observed matched the performance criteria.
The Emergency Planning Coordinator or his designee will determine the corrective actions necessary and the schedules for performing them and will evaluate the corrective actions taken.
Remedial exercises will be required if the emergency plan is not satisfactorily tested during the biennial exercise, such that NRC, in consultation with FEMA, cannot find reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency. The extent of State and local participation in remedial exercises must be sufficient to show that appropriate corrective measures have been taken regarding the elements of the plan not properly tested in the previous exercises.
6.1.3 Emergency Planning Coordinator The Supervisor - Emergency Preparedness is the Brunswick Emergency Planning Coordinator. He is responsible for coordinating on-site and off-site radiological emergency response planning.
Specific responsibilities include the following:
- 1. Interfacing with federal, state, county, and local planners.
- 2. Revising and updating the Plan in response to new federal regulations, modifications identified during exercises and drills, and changes in hardware and personnel.
- 3. Coordinating the evaluated exercise and the periodic drills.
- 4. Identifying off-site training needs of state and local emergency support personnel and arranging for training to meet the identified needs.
OERP Rev. 82 6-81
- 5. Identifying corrective actions needed following an exercise, assigning responsibility for implementing these actions, specifying a schedule for completion of these actions, and evaluating the adequacy of the actions taken. These corrective actions can be tracked by means of the Corrective Action Program.
- 6. Maintaining and negotiating agreements with state and county response agencies, federal assistance agencies, and medical and fire support agencies.
6.1.4 Public Education The North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety have overall responsibility for maintaining a continuing disaster preparedness public education program. Such a program, prepared by the State of North Carolina, with the cooperation of local governments and Progress Energy, is intended to ensure that members of the public are:
- 1. Aware of the potential threat of a radiological emergency;
- 2. Able to recognize radiological emergency notification; and
- 3. Knowledgeable of the proper, immediate actions (e.g., return to home, close windows, and tune to an Emergency Alert System station) to be taken.
A program of this type includes education on protective actions to be taken if shelter is prescribed, and the general procedures to follow if an evacuation is required. It also includes general educational information on radiation and how to learn more about emergency preparedness.
Additional information concerning public education can be found in Section 4.4.7.
6.2 REVIEW AND UPDATE OF THE PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES The Plan and its implementation procedures are intended to provide for continuous emergency preparedness. In addition to the training, drills, and exercises, regular reviews and audits are performed. The reviews and audits are described in the following sections.
IOERP I Rev. 82 6-91
6.2.1 Plan Updates The Emergency Planning Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the updating of the Plan and implementing procedures. He schedules an annual review of the Plan by the Plant Nuclear Safety Committee (see Section 6.4). Any proposed changes to the Plan due to regulatory revisions, experiences of drills and exercises, or other requirements are approved by the Supervisor - Emergency Preparedness. Approved changes to the Plan will be distributed to organizations and individuals with responsibility for implementation of the Plan. Phone listings in emergency procedures shall be updated quarterly, if required.
6.2.2 Independent Review In addition to the reviews conducted at the plant, the Nuclear Oversight Section will conduct an independent review of the Plan either:
At intervals not to exceed 12 months or, As necessary, based on an assessment by the licensee against performance indicators, and as soon as reasonably practicable after a change occurs in personnel, procedures, equipment, or facilities that potentially could adversely affect emergency preparedness, but no longer than 12 months after the change. In any case, all elements of the emergency preparedness program must be reviewed at least once every 24 months.
The review will include an evaluation for adequacy of interfaces with State and local governments and of drills, exercises, capabilities, and procedures. The results of the review, along with recommendations for improvements, will be documented, reported to the Corporate office and plant management, and retained for a period of five years. The part of the review involving the evaluation for adequacy of interface with the State and local governments will be made available to the appropriate State and local governments. Documentation of review results will be through the Corrective Action Program and/or meeting minutes. Corrective actions deemed necessary from the review will be implemented similar to the description in Section 6.1.3.5 of this Plan and the site Corrective Action Program.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 6-101
6.2.3 Off-Site Agreements and Plans Emergency response plans and agreements with supporting organizations will be reviewed and certified to be current on an annual basis and updated, if necessary. Changes will be incorporated in the annual revision of the Plan.
6.3 MAINTENANCE AND INVENTORY OF EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES To ensure that equipment and supplies are maintained in a readiness state, periodic maintenance and inventories are performed as described in the following sections.
6.3.1 Emergency Equipment and Supplies A listing of emergency equipment and supplies to be inventoried is included in OPEP-04.6. This listing provides information on location and availability of emergency equipment and supplies.
An inventory of emergency equipment and supplies is held in accordance with 0PEP-04.6. During this inventory, radiation monitoring equipment is checked to verify that required calibration and location are in accordance with the inventory lists. Respiratory protection equipment, maintained for emergency purposes, is also inspected and inventoried.
6.3.2 Medical Equipment and Supplies At least twice each year and after use in an emergency, the contents of emergency medical equipment and supplies located in the First Aid Office and other selected areas are to be inventoried, inspected, replaced, and replenished per OPT-34.2.2, First Aid Supplies and Rescue Equipment Inspection/Inventory.
IOERP I Rev. 82 1 6-111
6.4 PLANT NUCLEAR SAFETY COMMITTEE The Plant Nuclear Safety Committee (PNSC) is a standing committee comprised of Brunswick plant personnel that provides timely and continuing review of plant operations to assist the Plant General Manager in maintaining cognizance of plant activities, with particular emphasis on safety-related matters.
The PNSC reviews all changes to the plant, or its documentation that involve a License Amendment. In addition, the PNSC reviews plant operations to detect any potential safety hazards. Each plant supervisor will monitor the activities within their areas of responsibility to detect unsafe practices, trends, or hazards. Also, the PNSC investigates and reports on Technical Specification violations or other situations involving safety.

PROGRESS ENERGY BRUNSWICK NUCLEAR PLANT (BNP)
RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PLAN (ERP) 7.0 RECOVERY 7.1 GENERAL Once the Site Emergency Coordinator has declared that the emergency condition has passed, steps will be taken to recover from the incident. The Emergency Response Manager will advise appropriate organizations that recovery activities are initiated and that the Recovery Organization as shown in Figure 7.2.1 will be assembled in the EOF. All recovery actions will be preplanned in order to minimize radiation exposure or other hazards to recovery personnel. Recovery activities are classified as described in Section 7.3.
The overall goals of the recovery effort are to assess the radiological consequences of the emergency and perform cleanup and repair operations necessary to restore normal access to the affected areas or identify and restrict access to those areas that must be controlled. This effort includes marshaling of the Corporate resources and interfacing with outside agencies.
7.2 RECOVERY ORGANIZATION The recovery organization consists of the Recovery Manager, managers of support functions who are responsible to the Recovery Manager, and supporting personnel. This organization may be modified during the recovery process to better respond to the conditions at the plant.
Recovery activities will be directed from the Recovery Center.
The Recovery Center at Brunswick will be established in the existing TSC/EOF/Training Building. Other site facilities may be made available as necessary, if required to support an extensive recovery effort.
IOERP Rev. 82 1 7-11
Activation of the recovery organization will be initiated by the Vice President - Brunswick Nuclear Plant (or his alternate) after consultation with the Plant General Manager (or his alternate). The recovery organization will then be established at Brunswick to provide for recovery of the facility. The recovery organization may begin to develop plans for recovery of the facility while the emergency is still in progress. However, these efforts will not be permitted to interfere with or detract from the efforts to control the emergency situation. During the emergency phases of the incident, the recovery organization resources will be available to assist and provide support for the Site Emergency Coordinator. A block diagram of the typical recovery organization is presented in Figure 7.2-1.
7.2.1 Recovery Manager The Recovery Manager is the senior position responsible for all on-site activities during the recovery phase following a radiological emergency. He is also responsible for providing the primary interface with State, local and Federal agencies including the coordination of Progress Energy resources during off-site recovery efforts. The specific responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.7, Recovery.
7.2.2 Plant General Manager The Plant General Manager is responsible to the Recovery Manager for implementation of in-plant activities during the Recovery phase with the objective of maintaining a safe shutdown condition and controlling sources of radioactivity in the plant. The specific responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.7, Recovery.
7.2.3 Technical Analysis Manager The Technical Analysis Manager is responsible to the Recovery Manager for technical support, specifically in the analysis and development of plans and procedures to support recovery activities and to maintain the affected unit in a safe shutdown condition in a manner which minimizes the effect on the health and safety of the public. The specific responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.7, Recovery.
- OERP I Rev. 82 7-21
7.2.4 Engineering Director The Engineering Director is responsible to the Recovery Manager for directing and administratively controlling the Progress Energy Recovery Organization Engineering Staff while providing engineering, including civil, and design support to meet requirements of the recovery activities. The specific responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.7, Recovery.
7.2.5 Administrative and Logistics Manager The Administrative and Logistics Manager, is responsible to the Recovery Manager for providing administrative, logistic, communications, and personnel support for recovery activities. The specific responsibilities of this position are contained in OPEP-02.7, Recovery.
7.2.6 Radiological Control Manager The Radiological Control Manager is responsible to the Recovery Manager for providing radiation protection and waste disposal plans to support recovery activities. The specific responsibilities of this position are contained in 0PEP-02.7, Recovery.
7.3 RECOVERY PLANNING For convenience in planning, the recovery activities can be classified as follows:
- 1. On-site recovery
- 2. Off-site recovery 7.4 ON-SITE RECOVERY ACTIVITIES On-site recovery activities are performed in accordance with existing plant procedures. Radiation and contamination levels for determining the need for decontamination and for returning areas or items to normal use are included in these procedures. Additional procedures will be developed as appropriate on a case-by-case basis.
IOERP I Rev. 82 7-31
7.5 OFF-SITE RECOVERY ACTIVITIES 7.5.1 General The Progress Energy Recovery Manager will coordinate with and assist off-site agencies in the recovery activities.
The State will be the lead organization for off-site recovery activities and put emergency regulations into effect to ensure that no food items in the contaminated area are consumed or put on the market without the required health physics monitoring, and to control access into contaminated areas. Authorization for reentry to off-site areas will be made by the senior elected official of the area concerned after consultation with the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection.
7.5.2 Emergency Cleanup Operations The most urgent tasks will be to clear (i.e., partially decontaminate) emergency paths to allow access to critical facilities and inhabited areas. These clearing operations will be necessary particularly to:
- 1. Allow health physics teams to survey the contaminated areas,
- 2. Allow farmers to provide emergency care for livestock that had to be left in contaminated areas or to assist them in moving the stock to uncontaminated areas.
- 3. Allow emergency operations of utilities and services (power, water, telephone, sewage treatment, etc.) during the cleanup operation, and
- 4. Allow decontamination teams to perform the emergency and priority decontamination tasks (these emergency tasks will consist primarily of fire-hosing pavements, plowing or scraping unpaved areas adjacent to roads, and spraying paint or asphalt to fix loose contamination in place).
- 5. Stabilize the contaminated areas so that the radioactive materials are not spread to other areas or leached into streams. In particular, if public roads run through the area, cleanup of the road will be required, and cleanup of the area to some distance from the road will be needed to minimize exposure to travelers.
1OERP I Rev. 82 I 7-4
After the main roads and utilities have been put back into service, the urgency of the cleanup tasks will drop. However, the population that was evacuated will be eager to return, and industrial operations that had to be shut down need to start up as soon as possible and business operations need to be resumed.
Some farmland may have to be removed from use, which would cause hardship primarily to the occupants. Thus, it may be feasible to permanently evacuate such areas and pay the owner the market value. Such a step would probably occur at contamination levels where future crops would not be marketable due to the uptake of long-lived isotopes (primarily strontium).
Some of the buildings and houses may be contaminated to such a high level that it is more economical to demolish them than to decontaminate them. Areas where this occurs can be kept vacated; in such cases, demolition and burial can be a routine task, and the work can be scheduled over a longer period of time. Decontamination of the agricultural land may or may not be feasible. Where it is feasible, the changes in agricultural operations that are required can be made on a routine basis.
7.5.3 Countermeasures Countermeasures will have serious impact on the economy of contaminated areas, so they must be applied judiciously. They must be no more restrictive than necessary; however, once determined, they will be applied quickly and equitably, and may consist of:
- 1. Reducing contamination on the surface of any fruits and vegetables that were in the field at the time of the accident by ensuring that the surfaces are washed, that the outer leaves of leafy vegetables are removed, and that more than normal preference is given to peeling.
- 2. Altering production, processing, or distribution practices that affect the movement of radioactive contamination through food chain and into the human body. This will include storage of some food (primarily milk products) and animal feed supplies to allow radioactive decay--particularly of Iodine 131.

APPENDIX A BRUNSWICK COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM Page 1 of 4 A.O INTRODUCTION Communications systems are designed to facilitate emergency communications within the Brunswick Plant and between Brunswick and emergency facilities.
Redundant means of communication are provided to locations which provide a vital emergency response role.
A.1 PLANT COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS A.1.1 Public Address System The Brunswick Plant public address system provides paging and party line communications between stations located throughout the plant. Inside and outside type wall and desk-mounted stations are used to communicate between roaming personnel and fixed work locations. Plant-wide instructions are issued using the paging feature. This system is powered from the plant uninterruptible power supply which employs battery reserve as well as diesel generator emergency supply.
A. 1.2 PBX Telephone System The Brunswick Site PBX telephone system provides communication capability between telephone stations located within the plant by dialing the four-digit telephone station code. The PBX'telephone system also provides for outside communications as discussed in Sections A.2.1 and A.2.2.
A.1.3 Sound Powered Telephone System The sound powered telephone system is a communications system which uses the mechanical energy in the human voice to generate electrical pulses to power the system. It requires no outside source of power and is therefore very reliable. The system consists of phone jacks, wiring, and the sound-powered handsets. There is no separation in the circuits. A handset plugged into a jack is connected to all other handsets plugged into that circuit. Additional temporary circuits may be easily set up by attaching phone jacks to any unused cable between any points requiring sound-powered communications. Sound powered phone jacks are provided on selected instrument racks. Switch panels are provided in the control room to cross-tie any circuit with any other circuit providing sound-powered phone communications between several plant areas.
I0ERP I Rev. 82 1 A-I
APPENDIX A BRUNSWICK COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM Page 2 of 4 A.1.4 Brunswick Emergency Telephone and Radio System The Brunswick Site emergency telephone system consists of dedicated telephone lines between emergency facilities at the Brunswick Plant through a switch which is provided with a primary and secondary source of power. Radio communications with mobile and portable units reserved for an emergency is possible through a repeater on a Progress Energy-assigned frequency as well as a local (UHF) short-distance frequency. A primary and secondary source of power is provided for fixed radio equipment, with mobiles and portables powered by battery.
A.1.5 Plant Security Communications A portable radio communication system for plant use is available. Specific channel assignments are designated for security force use.
A.1.6 Emergency Response Facility Information System (ERFIS)
During an emergency, this system provides information for each unit on a Video Display Terminal simultaneously in the control room, the Technical Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility. The data may also be printed out in hard- copy form. Primary and secondary power sources are supplied to this system.
A.1.7 Satellite Telephone Communications The Mitsubishi ST251 (OmniQuest) Mobile Terminal (MT) is a satellite based portable communications system and can utilize a fixed or portable antenna and AC, DC, or battery power supplies. The MT can be used in either of two modes. Using the handset, the MT operates similarly to a cellular telephone.
Using the Push to Talk (PTT) microphone, the MT operates similar to a conventional trunked radio system using Net Radio Service. North Carolina Emergency Management has talk groups set up with Net Radio Service known as the Statewide Emergency Communication Network (SECN) that are used for both routine and emergency communications.
OERP Rev. 82 A-2]
APPENDIX A BRUNSWICK COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM Page 3 of 4 A.2 OFF-SITE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS A.2.1 Corporate Telephone Communications System (Voicenet)
Interconnected through the site PBX and the emergency telephone system, the corporate telephone system provides a means to communicate with other corporate locations with which the plant has a need to communicate.
Corporate transmission facilities provide fiber optic, copper-wire, and microwave radio to ensure a high degree of system reliability. In addition to the redundancy provided by the three system options, backup power is provided for the systems.
A.2.2 Commercial Phone Lines Commercial telephone lines, which supply public telephone communications, are employed by Progress Energy in three ways: (1) tie-ins through the PBX to any other plant location, (2) lines to plant emergency facilities, and (3) lines to the Joint Information Center for public information purposes. AT&T provides primary and secondary power for their lines at the Central Office.
A.2.3 Dedicated Telephone System to Load Dispatcher This system provides direct links between the Control Room and the load dispatcher. Transmission facilities are microwave radio. These lines appear on several phones in the Control Room and are selected by pushing the appropriate button on a multibutton phone. The lines are automatically rung at the load dispatcher identifying Brunswick as the caller. Primary and secondary power is supplied at both ends.
A.2.4 Emergency Communications Network The Emergency Communications Network is a system, separate from other communications systems, which provides back-up dedicated telephone facilities between emergency response centers. The purpose of these facilities is to ensure priority communications at any time from Brunswick Plant to emergency response personnel at the federal, state, local governments, and other Progress Energy facilities, and General Electric Company.
A.2.5 Plant Security A plant security radio control station provides for radio communications to local law enforcement agencies (LLEA). Primary and secondary power is supplied.
OERP Rev. 82 A-3
APPENDIX A BRUNSWICK COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM Page 4 of 4 A.2.6 Corporate Informational Data Communications Large central computers are located at the Corporate headquarters. Smaller special purpose computers are located at other Corporate facilities, including the Brunswick Plant. The communications link between the Brunswick Plant and Corporate headquarters allows the interchange, storage, and processing of information.
A.2.7 NRC Emergency Telecommunications System The NRC uses a Progress Energy telephone line which allows direct telephone communications from the plant to NRC regional and national offices. The Progress Energy communications line provides a link independent of the local public telephone network. Telephones connected to this network are located in the Brunswick Control Room, Technical Support Center, and Emergency Operations Facility. There are also telephones connected to this system for use by Health Physics personnel. Primary and secondary sources of power are supplied.

APPENDIX E MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ASSISTANCE Page 1 of 3 E.1. INTRODUCTION The Medical Treatment and Assistance Plan provides for several levels of treatment based on the severity of injury and degree of radioactive contamination involved, if any.
The first level of assistance will be given on scene or in the plant First Aid Office, if possible. Initial evaluation of the severity of the injury will be made by first-aid and medical personnel, and emergency treatment started.
Concurrently the degree of radiation exposure and/or contamination will be assessed by radiation safety personnel and decontamination begun. All injuries occurring in a contaminated area will be considered as contaminated until monitored and cleared.
If the severity of the injury requires more extensive or prolonged treatment, the patient can be transported to the second level of assistance located at the Dosher Memorial Hospital where special facilities for treatment of contaminated patients have been provided (see Section E.2.2).
Transfer from any level of assistance to the next higher level will be effected only after medical evaluation (unless the urgency of the patient's condition requires immediate action) and will be under the control of the attending physician or his alternate senior physician.
E.2. MEDICAL EMERGENCIES E.2.1 ON-SITE FIRST AID FACILITIES It is anticipated that contaminated personnel will not leave the facility for medical treatment except for cases thought to require immediate hospitalization. Emergency medical treatment of contaminated personnel will be handled at the Plant First Aid Office located in the O&M Building (if possible) by site medical personnel. This includes all injuries thought not to require immediate hospitalization.
OERP I Rev. 82 E-1I
APPENDIX E MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ASSISTANCE Page 2 of 3 E.2.2 HOSPITALIZATION If emergency medical treatment can best be given at Dosher Memorial Hospital in Southport (or another facility as may be advised by a competent medical authority), the injured person may be transported to Dosher Memorial Hospital. Dosher Memorial Hospital is the primary hospital for treating medical emergencies occurring at the Brunswick Plant, with New Hanover Regional Medical Center being the backup.
OPEP-03.9.3, First Aid, Medical Care and Transport for Injured Personnel, will be followed to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination to off-site areas and facilities. If possible, contaminated clothing and equipment should be removed from the patient, or he should be wrapped in clean sheets or clothing to prevent contamination of the transporting personnel and vehicle.
Medical assistance is immediately available at the Southport area from two general practitioners, both of who are on the staff of Dosher Memorial Hospital, and who have agreed to provide medical assistance for contaminated patients. Also, the U. S. Department of Energy Radiological Assistance Team will provide medical assistance, if required.
E.2.3 TREATMENT FACILITY A specially designated emergency area is maintained in readiness at Dosher Memorial Hospital for Progress Energy's use for the treatment of contaminated patients. Although this area will be utilized by the hospital when not required by Progress Energy, it will be made immediately available to Progress Energy when required. Equipment is available in the hospital for the emergency treatment of patients.
With the facilities and equipment available, extensive decontamination and treatment of an injured patient could be performed, including surgical treatment that may be required.
E.2.4 ON-SITE MEDICAL SERVICES Agreement has been reached with doctors in Southport who will provide medical services at the plant site when required. Personnel who are contaminated and who require medical treatment may be treated by a doctor in the Plant's First Aid Office.
OERP Rev. 82 E-2]
APPENDIX E MEDICAL TREATMENT AND ASSISTANCE Page 3 of 3 E.2.5 EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT An emergency kit is maintained at Dosher Memorial Hospital containing supplies and equipment for personnel monitoring and the control of radioactive contamination. This kit contains the following:
- a. Radiation monitoring instruments, one low-level instrument for determining contamination levels, and one intermediate- range instrument for determining dose rates.
- b. Personnel monitoring equipment such as TLDs and self-reading dosimeters.
- c. Decontamination equipment and supplies for both personnel and facility.
- d. Contamination control equipment and supplies such as protective clothing, signs, ropes, tags, plastic bags, etc.
E.2.6 AMBULANCE SERVICE The City of Southport Rescue Squad has agreed to respond to all emergency calls from the plant, just as they respond to other calls from the Southport area.

APPENDIX F TECHNICAL BASIS FOR SOURCE TERM MIXES Page 1 of 2 NUREG-1228, Table 2.2 describes the core inventory and coolant concentrations (BWR).
Source Term Categories Source terms are based upon the core melt sequences, four categories of core damage: 1) normal coolant leakage, 2) spiked coolant leakage, 3) gap release, and 4) in-vessel core melt. These categories have an associated release duration based upon the length of time that the core is uncovered. As a result, it is possible to construct a source term mix matrix that is dependent on two parameters, whether or not the fuel is uncovered, and the length of time that the fuel is uncovered. A separate isotopic release fraction is developed for each accident sequence. The major isotopic release fractions are those fractions of core inventory that are released either through failure of the fuel cladding and melting of the core within the reactor vessel. These fractions are values that when multiplied by the core inventory in curies of the particular isotopes, give curie amounts of isotopes immediately available for release from the containment.
The effects of cleanup and engineered safety features are taken into account to the extent consistent with the failures that led to the particular accident sequence. To make the results manageable, the accident sequence and the accident isotopic release are grouped. NUREG-1465 is utilized as a means to weigh the release fractions for that sequence category. The weighted release fractions are added up to determine a "mean" in-containment release fraction.
In order to have a dose assessment capability that can be utilized under many circumstances, the vast majority of which are less consequential than a melt of the core with no removal mechanisms, the effect of engineered safety features and removal phenomena must be included in the source term mix. RTM-96, Table C-5 lists the reduction factors, and Table C-6 escape fractions are used in developing source term categories that account for removal process. In order to select the proper mix, a release pathway and estimated time duration of core uncovery is determined.
Reduction factors are applied as scaling factors, as described in NUREG-1228.
There remain three source term special cases of accident mixes which are handled separately in the dose assessment process. 1) Fuel stored in a pool, and the fuel is uncovered; 2) Fuel stored in a pool that is damaged underwater; and 3) Damage to fuel cladding stored in a dry storage cask. Fuel release fractions used in these accidents are derived from NUREG/CR-6451.

Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012
- 1. INTRODUCTION This document describes the methodology used in the conduct of an On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) for Brunswick Nuclear Plant (BNP) and the results obtained by the OSA. The OSA was performed to ensure sufficient personnel are assigned to all operating shifts as required by Section IV.A.9 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E [Ref. 1], which states that nuclear power reactor licensees shall include in their emergency plans "a detailed analysis demonstratingthat on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilitiesthat would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan." This document constitutes the "detailed analysis" required by the regulations and is based on the "Final Report - NEI 10-05 On-shift Staffing Analysis for the Brunswick Nuclear Plant" [Ref 2], which provides additional details regarding the analysis process.
A structured approach was utilized to perform this analysis using the guidance provided in NEI 10-05, Rev 0, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities" [Ref.
- 31. The OSA examined the ability of the minimum staff, as identified in the site emergency plan (OERP, "Radiological Emergency Response Plan") [Ref. 4], to perform the actions necessary to respond to each of the specified event scenarios, as well as implement the actions required by the Emergency Plan.
- 2. ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
The on-shift staff consists of individuals necessary to support each of the following Emergency Plan functional areas:
a Plant Operations & Safe Shutdown
- Fire Fighting
- Radiation Protection & Chemistry
- Emergency Plan Implementation NEI 10-05 indicates it is acceptable for certain identified functions to be assigned to personnel already assigned other functions/tasks. The identified functions include Repair and Corrective Action, Rescue Operations, and First Aid. provides the OSA results presented in the NUREG-0654, Table B-1 format. Augmenting emergency response organization positions are not considered within the staffing analysis and therefore do not appear in Attachment 1. provides the final NEI 10-05 staffing analysis tables, as presented in Reference 2, providing the results of each scenario analysis.
- 3. ANALYSIS PROCESS NEI 10-05 separates the analysis into three phases:
" Phase I included identification of required scenarios and determination of On-Shift Minimum Staffing levels as found in OERP, "Radiological Emergency Response Plan." Section 4 provides a discussion of the scenario identification process.
- Phase II (referred to in NEI 10-05 as "On-Shift Staffing Analysis") was conducted by a multi-disciplined team using site procedures to determine if tasks have been sufficiently analyzed OERP Rev. 82 Att. I - Page I of 67
Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012 for performance by the minimum on-shift staff as designated in the Emergency Plan. Task areas analyzed included:
o Event Mitigation (EOP/AOP, other site procedures) o Fire Response (as determined by the scenario) o RP/Chemistry Functions (as specified in site response procedures) o Emergency Preparedness Functions (NUREG-0654 Table B-i)
Attachment 2 presents the results of Phase I1.
Phase III of the methodology is designed to perform task-based Time-Motion Studies, as needed, when concerns were identified in either of two areas. The first area involves emergency response function(s) that have not been previously analyzed by an existing performance-based assessment process. The second area includes functions assessed by existing JTA or performance-based assessment processes, where overlap is discovered and integrated performance of the functions has not been previously analyzed by an existing performance-based assessment process.
The emergency response to each event was determined by conducting a tabletop of the event using the emergency plan and procedures and applicable department procedures, such as Operations emergency and abnormal operating procedures.
Each scenario was reviewed by the cross-disciplinary team to identify the required operational actions and emergency plan implementation actions, based on plant procedures, prior to staff augmentation.
These actions were then compared to the minimum staffing as described in the Emergency Plan, ensuring that no actions were assigned to staff members that conflicted with either their dedicated emergency plan roles or their dedicated operational roles, as appropriate. In cases where multiple tasks were assigned to an individual, the team evaluated timing of the tasks to ensure the tasks could be performed by the individual in series within any specified time requirements.
- 4. SCENARIO SELECTION AND ATTRIBUTES To ensure that the on-shift staff can carry out their assigned emergency response functions until the augmenting emergency response organization (ERO) arrives, NEI 10-05 indicates that each licensee should define the events that will be used in the OSA. These events should include the following:
- Postulated Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) (Condition IV events) presented in the FSAR, as updated, and which would result in an emergency declaration. At least one DBA should result in the declaration of a General Emergency and radiological doses to the public that exceed the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs) and necessitate licensee Protective Action Recommendations (PARs);
" Station Design Basis Threat (DBT);
- Response actions for an "aircraft probable threat" in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(1) and as discussed in Regulatory Guide 1.214; and
" Control room fire leading to evacuation and remote shutdown, as referenced in NRC Information Notice 95-48.
OERP Rev. 82 Aft. I - Page 2 of 67
Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012 The Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) was selected as the DBA event to be taken to General Emergency with corresponding release exceeding EPA PAGs.
NSIR/DPR ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance - Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants," (the ISG) [Ref. 5] specifies three additional scenarios for consideration. If those scenarios are not performed, justification must be provided in the final analysis. The three scenarios for consideration are:
- Station Blackout (Current Licensing Basis) - this scenario was performed in the Phase II analysis;
- Appendix R fire response; and
- Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) Response -
Response was limited to actions performed prior to activation of the Technical Support Center (TSC) and SAMG augmented personnel.
This scenario was included in the Phase II analysis.
Prior to the analysis, Progress Energy's Asset Management Group conducted a review of the BNP UFSAR Chapter 15 Design Basis Accident (DBA) events. This review validated those BNP UFSAR Chapter 15 DBA events meeting the guidance in the ISG as Condition IV Design Basis Accidents.
Condition II and III DBA events were excluded from the list. The Asset Management Group also evaluated additional events identified in the ISG. Those events identified for inclusion in the shift staffing analysis were the: Security DBT event; aircraft probable threat event; Control Room fire with evacuation; Station Blackout; and SAMG response prior to augmentation of the on-shift ERO. The Appendix R fire response event was not included because it is bounded by the Control Room fire with evacuation event.
The following table identifies the events requiring analysis as identified in Phase I using the NEI 10-05 methodology and by reviewing Chapter 15 of the UFSAR.

The selection of DBA accidents for inclusion in this assessment was based in part on the guidance contained in the ISG, which states that only DBA accidents "which would result in an emergency declaration" should be evaluated in the staffing assessment. Each of the plant's DBAs was evaluated and classified according to its UFSAR description. Additionally, the projected accident dose rate at the site boundary was considered in classification. In cases where several projected dose rates were provided, the assessment used the radiological consequences associated with the realistic case in accordance with NEI 10-05.
Each scenario was assessed by the cross-disciplinary team to identify the plant actions and emergency plan implementation actions required by plant procedures prior to staff augmentation.
These actions were then compared to the minimum shift staffing as described in the Emergency Plan, ensuring that no actions were assigned to staff members that conflicted with either their dedicated emergency plan role or their dedicated operational role as appropriate. In cases where multiple tasks were assigned to an individual in their role, the team considered task prioritization and duration to ensure that they could be performed by the individual in series within any specified time requirements.

Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012
- 5. GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 5.1 Radiation Protection (RP) and Chemistry The team utilized the analysis approach described by NEI 10-05 to identify tasks assigned to on-shift radiation protection and chemistry technicians. Identified tasks were plotted on a timeline considering task duration and priority.
The RP and Chemistry tasks reviewed were those directed by the Shift Manager to support actions in Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs),
and Plant Emergency Procedures (PEPs). Any additional tasks directed by the TSC, Operations Support Center (OSC), or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) procedures would occur following ERO augmentation and thus were not reviewed.
5.2 Repair and Corrective Action Per the guidance of NUREG-0654, Table B-i, repair and corrective action tasks may be performed by dedicated shift personnel or qualified shift personnel assigned other functions/tasks.
Repair and corrective action is defined as:
An action that can be performed promptly to restore a non-functional component to functional status (e.g., resetting a breaker), or to place a component in a desired configuration (e.g., open a valve), and which does not require work planning or implementation of tag out controls to complete.
In accordance with NEI 10-05, Section 2.5, the OSA included a review of the maintenance and corrective action tasks. These tasks may be performed by personnel having other Emergency Preparedness (EP) functions. For the purpose of this analysis, the tasks were considered to fall into two broad categories:
- Unplanned/unexpected actions that address equipments failures. These actions are contingent in nature and cannot be specified in advance.
" Planned/expected actions performed in support of operating procedure implementation, including severe accident management guidelines.
5.3 Rescue Operations and First Aid In accordance with NEI 10-05, Section 2.6, the analysis also included a review of the Rescue Operations and First Aid responses. These functions may be performed by personnel assigned other EP functions. Rescue Operations and First Aid include the tasks of locating missing personnel, removing them from hazardous areas, if needed, and providing necessary initial medical treatment. These functions are performed by the Fire Brigade.
5.4 10 CFR 50.54(hh) Aircraft Threat The analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement to maintain continuous communications with the notification source during an aircraft threat in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(hh) and Regulatory Guide 1.214. There are no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function is not required to be assigned in advance. This review identified that OERP Rev. 82 Att. 1 - Page 5 of 67
Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012 there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action during the aircraft event.
5.5 ERO Response Time As stated in NEI 10-05, Section 2.14, the staffing assessment methodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels or augmented ERO response times. The OSA team utilized the ERO response times identified in the Emergency Plan.
5.6 NEI 10-05 General Assumptions
- 1. Response time used for this analysis was the maximum acceptable number of minutes elapsed between emergency declaration and the arrival of an augmented ERO position holder at a location necessary to relieve an on-shift position of the emergency response task.
- 2. The on-shift personnel complement was limited to the minimum required number and composition as described in the site emergency plan and other site documents. If the plan commitments allow for different minimum staffing levels (e.g., a variance between a normal dayshift and a backshift), the staffing with the smallest total number of personnel was used for the analysis.
- 3. Although the temporary absence of a position may be allowed by Tech Specs, the analysis was performed assuming that all required on-shift positions are filled.
- 4. Event occurred during off-normal work hours where ERO was offsite and all required minimum on-shift positions were filled.
- 5. On-shift personnel reported to their assigned response locations within timeframes sufficient to allow for performance of assigned actions.
- 6. On-shift staff had necessary Radiation Worker qualification to obtain normal dosimetry and enter the radiological control area (RCA) (but not locked high or very high radiation areas) without the aid of an RP technician.
- 7. Personnel assigned plant operations and safe shutdown (SSD) met the requirements and guidance (analyzed through other programs such as operator training) and were not evaluated as part of this assessment unless a role/function/task from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.
- 8. In-plant (manual) safety-related operator actions to manipulate components and equipment from locations outside the Control Room to achieve and maintain safe shutdown was done by a member of the on-shift staff as defined in the unit's Tech Specs.
- 9. Fire brigade (FB) staff performance is analyzed through other station programs (e.g., fire drills) and was not evaluated as part of this assessment unless a role/function/task from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.
- 10. Individuals holding the position of RP technician or Chemistry technician are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
- 11. Security was not evaluated unless a role or function from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.
0ERP Rev. 82 Att. I - Page 6 of 67
Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012
- 12. Communications, briefings, and peer checks are acceptable collateral duties.
- 13. All on-shift staff positions were evaluated, even if they had no known collateral duties, to ensure they can perform the tasks assigned to them.
- 14. The OSA specified the resources available to perform "Repair and Corrective Actions" and "Rescue Operations and First Aid," but these may be assigned as collateral duty to a designated on-shift responder.
- 15. For assessment purposes, NRC notifications were treated as a continuous action per 10CFR50.72(c)(3) and 73.71(b)(1). This means once the initial NRC communications are established, the NRC will request that an open line be maintained with the NRC Operations Center.
- 16. DBA (postulated accident, Condition IV event, or limiting fault) is considered as "Unanticipated occurrences that are postulated for accident analysis purposes but not expected to occur during the life of the plant. A postulated accident could result in sufficient damage to preclude resumption of plant operation. As a result, a greater number and variety of actions would need to be implemented by plant personnel."
- 17. Unless otherwise specified in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 or by the initial conditions of a DBA analysis, it was assumed that the unit was in Mode 1, Power.
- 18. DBT assumed a hostile force breached the protected area fence but was neutralized with no adverse consequences to plant safety. Damage inflicted on plant systems, structures and components was not sufficient to prevent safe shutdown or cause a radiological release.
There was no fire significant enough to warrant firefighting efforts prior to arrival of offsite resources and/or the augmented ERO.
- 20. In cases where a DBA analysis included a radiological release, and the starting point of the release was not clearly defined, the OSA assumed that the release began at the time of declaration of the initiating event.
- 21. Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) - It is sufficient to simply assume that the accident progressed to conditions requiring a severe accident response; it did not include determining specific failures and the accident sequence.
- 22. SAMG - The actions analyzed included those that implement the initial site-specific actions assuming the core is not ex-vessel (i.e., no reactor vessel failure), and there is no actual or imminent challenge to containment integrity.
Reference 2 provides additional information regarding assumptions used in the staffing analysis.
- 6. CONCLUSIONS presents the minimum shift staffing needed to support the analyzed event scenarios, as identified by the event analysis team. Identified discrepancies were entered into the corrective action program for resolution.
As discussed in Reference 2, three concerns identified during Phase 2 were referred to Phase 3 for further analysis. The results of the Phase 3 analyses are addressed in Reference 2.
0ERP Rev. 82 Att. 1 - Page 7 of 67
Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012 The station is required to implement temporary compensatory measures within 30 days following approval of this report and to implement permanent corrective actions within 24 months.
Implementation of the corrective action process may result in the identification of corrective measures (e.g., technological or administrative measures) that will affect the final minimum shift staffing. Any such measures should be validated using the staffing analysis process and this report should be updated to reflect the identified corrective measures.

SUMMARY
Page 2 of 2 The changes below were made to address the BNP Staffing Analysis: PRR 527296 o Added Attachment 1, Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012, to Table of Contents and to body of the 0ERP.
o Figure 3.1-1, Brunswick Shift Organization, page 3-27, revised to reflect new on-shift staffing.
o Section 3.1, Normal Operating Organization, page 3-3, third paragraph, was revised from "Each operating shift will normally consist of a Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator normally filled by the Shift Manager or other qualified Control Room personnel, two Senior Control Operators, three Control Operators, nine Auxiliary Operators, three Health Physics Technicians, one Chemistry Technician, two Mechanical Maintenance Technicians, three I&C/Electrical Maintenance Technicians, and one Shift Technical Advisor (STA). Deviation from the normal shift complement is allowed as long as the minimum shift complement, as described in Technical Specification 5.2.2 and UFSAR Table 13-1, is maintained and appropriate action is taken (see Figure 3.1-1)" to "Each operating shift will normally consist of a Control Room Site Emergency Coordinator normally filled by the Shift Manager or other qualified Control Room personnel, two Senior Reactor Operators, four Reactor Operators, nine Auxiliary Operators, three Health Physics Technicians, two Chemistry Technicians, two Mechanical Maintenance Technicians, three I&C/Electrical Maintenance Technicians, and one Shift Technical Advisor (STA). See Figure 3.1-1, Brunswick Shift Organization. Shift crew composition may be less than the minimum requirements for a period of time not to exceed two (2) hours in order to accommodate unexpected absence of on-duty shift crew members provided immediate action is taken to restore the shift crew composition to within the requirements specified as referenced in UFSAR Table 13-1. Document any deviation from Figure 3.1-1 in the corrective action program."
o Section 3.2, On-Shift Emergency Organization, page 3-4
" First paragraph, first sentence, added "see Attachment 1, Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012."
" Second paragraph, deleted 3rd sentence "Depending on weather conditions, 30-45 minutes should provide enough time to make the appropriate staff available to augment the on-site organization" and added two new sentences "A Staffing Analysis was completed in December, 2012 which validated adequate on-shift staffing is available for worst case scenarios postulated at Brunswick Nuclear Plant. See Attachment 1, Brunswick Nuclear Plant On-Shift Staffing Analysis Summary December, 2012 for details of on-shift staffing 24/7."
o Section 8.0, References, page 8-3, added Item 29, On-Shift Staffing Analysis for Brunswick Nuclear Plant, December, 2012. (PRR 00527296) 0ERP Rev. 82 1 2
