During outages, the Radiation Protection organization is proposing to locate the RCA entry point briefing areas for Lower Containment and the Auxiliary Building in the Evacuation Coordinators area of the TSC. In the event the TSC is activated, the RP staff will collect their materials and leave the TSC within 75 minutes of the emergency declaration.

No minimum staffing Emergency Response Organization (ERO) members will be affected by the briefing area being located in the Evacuation Coordinators Area. The Evacuation Coordinators Area is simply tables and chairs; no computers or procedures are kept in this area. The TSC ERO minimum staffing work areas, procedures, computers and telephones are not affected by this proposed change.

One other temporary change that the RP Organization proposes is to move the RCA Access Stations (Electronic Dosimeter Log-in/Log-out stations) within the TSC from the TSC Evacuation Coordinators Area to the TSC Engineering Area. With this move, the ERO will maintain the capability to obtain an electronic dosimeter from the RCA Access Stations while remaining in the TSC ventilation envelope. The ERO will be made aware of this temporary change.

Part II. Description and Review of Licensing Basis Affected by the Proposed Change:

Three licensing basis documents were reviewed for applicability, 1) the Catawba Emergency plan, Revision 2, as the original plan approved by the NRG, 2) the current Catawba Emergency plan, revision 148, and 3) Duke Power Company Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Emergency Response Capability for Catawba Nuclear Station, Volume 1.

Catawba Emergency Plan, Rev 2 EPA Section B, Site Emergency Organization Figure B-1 contains the minimum staff required to activate the TSC, listing the capability for Additions at 45 minutes and 75 minutes.

EPA Section H, Emergency Facilities and Equipment Section H.1.b, Technical Support Center Section H.5.b:

"Radiological monitors including process monitors, area monitors, post-accident monitoring equipment, effluent monitors, personnel monitoring devices, portable monitors and sampling equipment are described in various Radiation Protection procedures, the Catawba UFSAR, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Safety Evaluation Report."

The Catawba Emergency Plan, rev 2, does not refer to non-emergency use of the TSC.

Catawba Emergency Plan, Rev 148 EPA Section B, Site Emergency Organization Figure B-1 b contains the minimum staff required to activate the TSC, listing the capability for Additions at 45 minutes and 75 minutes.

EPA Section H, Emergency Facilities and Equipment Section H.1.b, Technical Support Center Section H.5.b:

"Radiological monitors including process monitors, area monitors, post-accident monitoring equipment, effluent monitors, personnel monitoring devices, portable monitors and sampling equipment are described in various Radiation Protection procedures, the Catawba UFSAR, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Safety Evaluation Report."

The Catawba Emergency Plan, rev 148, does not refer to non-emergency use of the TSC.

Duke Power Company Response to Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, Emergency Response Capability for Catawba Nuclear Station, Volume 1.

7.1 Technical Support Center Duke Power Company has established a Technical Support Center for Catawba Nuclear Station as identified, located and described in the Catawba Emergency Plan. The TSC is on the same elevation and within two minutes walking distance from the Control room. The TSC has the following capabilities and characteristics: [none of the capabilities or characteristics mention non-emergency use of the TSC or personnel monitoring devices/dosimetry]

Part Ill. Description of How the Proposed Change Complies with Regulation and Commitments.

If the emergency plan, modified as proposed, no longer complies with planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, then ensure the change is rejected, modified, or processed as an exemption request under 10 CFR 50.12, Specific Exemptions, rather than under 10 CFR 50.54(q):

10 CFR 50.47(b) (2) Onsite Emergency Organization

" ... facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces among various onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities are specified."

10 CFR 50.47(b) (8)

"Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained."

Conclusion The proposed change to use the TSC for an RP briefing area during outages continues to comply with Regulations and Commitments because the capability of the Emergency Response Organization to activate the TSC within 75 minutes is maintained.

The proposed change to move RCA Access Stations within the TSC maintains the capability of ERO members to obtain an electronic dosimeter, a personnel monitoring device.

Part IV. Description of Emergency Plan Planning Standards, Functions and Program Elements Affected by the Proposed Change (Address each function identified in Attachment 4, 10 CFR 50.54(q) Screening Evaluation Form, Part IV of associated Screen):

PLANNING STANDARDS 10 CFR 50.47(b) (2) Onsite Emergency Organization The regulation at 10 CFR 50.47 (b) (2) states the following:

Applicable Evaluation Criteria

5. Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity. For emergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and for plant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies." The minimum on-shift staffing levels shall be as indicated in Table B-1. The licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. This capability shall be as indicated in Table B-1. The implementation schedule for licensed operators, auxiliary operators and the shift technical advisor on shift shall be as specified in the July 31, 1980 letter to all power reactor licensees. Any deficiencies in the other staffing requirements of Table B-1 must be capable of augmentation within 30 minutes by September 1, 1981, and such deficiencies must be fully removed by July 1, 1982.

NUREG-0654,Section II. H Planning Standard Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.

<< 10 CFR 50.54(q) Effectiveness Evaluation Form>>

NUREG-0696 Section 2, Technical Support Center The onsite technical support center (TSC) will provide the following functions:

  • Provide plant management and technical support to plant operations personnel during emergency conditions.
  • Relieve the reactor operators of peripheral duties and communications not directly related to reactor system manipulations.
  • Prevent congestion in the control room .
  • Perform EOF functions for the Alert Emergency class and for the Site Area Emergency class and General Emergency class until the EOF is functional.

... The TSC facilities may be used by designated operating personnel for normal daily operations as well as for training and emergency drills. Use of the TSC facility during normal operation shall be limited to activities that will not degrade TSC preparedness to react to abnormal conditions or reduce TSC systems reliability.

Part V. Description of Impact of the Proposed Change on the Effectiveness of Emergency Plan Functions:

The proposed change to use the TSC for an RP briefing area during outages maintains the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan Functions because the capability for timely augmentation of onshift staff is maintained. The RPs using this area can remove their work materials and allow for activation of the TSC within 75 minutes. The TSC Minimum Staffing work areas are not affected by this change; an adequate TSC facility is maintained to support emergency response.

The proposed change to move the RCA Access Stations within the TSC maintains the capability for timely augmentation of onshift staff and adequate equipment to support emergency response. The ERO members maintain the capability to obtain an electronic dosimeter within the TSC ventilation envelope.

Part VI. Evaluation Conclusion.
