Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-11 0 Page 1 of 15 Response to 10 CFR 50.54(f) NRC Request for Information (NTTF Recommendation 9.3 Communications, Requests 1 and 3 Pacific Gas and Electric Company Executive Summary On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a request for information (RFI) in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(f), "Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations 50.54(f) Regarding Recommendations 2.1,2.3, and 9.3, of the Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Accident." Recommendation 9.3 requested addressees to provide an assessment of the current communications systems and equipment used during an emergency event to identify any enhancements that may be needed to ensure communications are maintained during a large-scale natural event.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) conducted an assessment to review Diablo Canyon Power Plant's (DCPP's) capability of Emergency Preparedness communications systems to perform their intended function during a large-scale loss of alternating current (AC) power event.

The assessment was conducted in accordance with the NEI 12-01, Revision 0, "Guideline for Assessing Beyond-Design-Basis Accident Response Staffing and Communications Capabilities." The assessment team conducted walkdowns and reviewed associated documentation and procedures to confirm reasonable protection of current onsite and offsite communications systems.

The assessment team concluded that the fixed and portable satellite phones and portions of the onsite plant telephone network and radio systems will be available during a large scale loss of AC power. Based on the quality, maintenance, and operational contracts of the communications equipment, it was concluded that the communications equipment will be ready for use by trained personnel during a loss of AC power. DCPP personnel are a part of the national communications system, which provides priority communications services during an emergency.

The assessment team identified 11 enhancements. The enhancements will be implemented into two phases. Phase 1 will be completed by December 31,2013.

Phase 2 will be completed by October 27, 2015.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-11 0 Page 2 of 15 Purpose The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an information request pursuant to 10 50.54(f), 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3 of the Near-Term Task Force (NTTF) review of insights from the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident, dated March 12, 2012. of the letter contains specific Requested Actions and Requested Information associated with Recommendation 9.3 for Emergency Preparedness (EP) programs. This enclosure is divided into two parts (1) Communications and (2) ERO Staffing. This assessment will address the Communications request.

The NRC issued this information request regarding power supplies for communications systems and to determine if additional regulatory action is warranted. This assessment is to review the capability of DCPP communications systems to perform their intended function during a large-scale extended loss of off-site power. This assessment will also provide recommendations for a means to power communications equipment needed to communicate onsite (e.g., radios for response teams and between facilities) and offsite (e.g., cellular telephones and satellite telephones) during a prolonged station blackout (S80).

NRC Requested Information NRC Requested Actions It is requested that addressees assess their current communications systems and equipment used during an emergency event. It is also requested that consideration be given to any enhancements that may be appropriate for the emergency plan with respect to communications requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, Appendix E, and the guidance in NUREG-0696. Also, addressees are requested to consider the means necessary to power the new and existing communications equipment during a prolonged S80.

NRC Request Assumptions The NRC requests that the following assumptions be made in preparing responses to this request for information: the potential onsite and offsite damage is a result of a large scale natural event resulting in a loss of all AC power.

In addition, assume that the large-scale natural event causes extensive damage to normal and emergency communications systems both onsite and in the area surrounding the site. It has been recognized that following a large-scale natural event that AC power may not be available to cell and other communications infrastructures.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-11 0 Page 3 of 15 NRC Requested Information Addressees are requested to provide an assessment of the current communications systems and equipment used during an emergency event to identify any enhancements that may be needed to ensure communications are maintained during a large-scale natural event meeting the conditions described above.

  • Identify any planned or potential improvements to existing onsite communications systems and their required normal and/or backup power supplies,
  • Identify any planned or potential improvements to existing offsite communications systems and their required normal and/or backup power supplies,
  • Provide a description of any new communications system(s) or technologies that will be deployed based upon the assumed conditions described above, and
  • Provide a description of how the new and/or improved systems and power supplies will be able to provide for communications during a loss of all AC power.

Addressees are requested to describe any interim actions that have been taken or are planned to be taken to enhance existing communications systems power supplies until the communications assessment and the resulting actions are complete.

Provide an implementation schedule of the time needed to conduct and implement the results of the communications assessment.

Assessment Methodology NEI 12-01 provides the methodology for the preparation of assessments to determine the required staff necessary for responding to a beyond-design-basis external event that affects multiple units at a site, and the identification of enhancements that could provide a means to power equipment needed to communicate onsite and offsite during an extended loss of AC power event. The NRC endorsed NEI 12-01 in May of 2012.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-11 0 Page 4 of 15 Assessment Assumptions (NEI 12-01)

(1) A large-scale external event occurs that results in:

(a) all onsite units affected (b) extended loss of AC power (c) impeded access to the units (2) Initially, all onsite reactors are operating at full power and are successfully shut down.

(3) A Hostile Action directed at the affected site does not occur during the period that the site is responding to a beyond design basis external event.

(4) The event impedes site access as follows:

(a) Post event time: 0 to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> - No site access. This duration reflects the time necessary to clear roadway obstructions, use alternate routes, mobilize alternate transportation capabilities, etc.

(b) Post event time: 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> - Limited site access. The site may be accessed by walking, a helicopter, personal vehicle or small boat.

(c) Post event time: 24+ hours - Improved site access. Site access is restored to a near-normal status and/or augmented transportation resources are available to deliver heavy or big loads, and large numbers of personnel (d) A licensee may modify assumption #4 if supported by a documented basis.

(5) Installed sources of AC power, including alternate AC power sources, are not available. These power sources are typically classified as safety-related or governed by augmented quality requirements.

(6) Nonessential loads from DC battery buses are stripped in accordance with plant emergency or abnormal operating procedures, or other response guidelines to extend battery life.

(7) Installed inverters and battery chargers remain available provided they are protected from internal and external flooding events consistent with the current station design.

(8) Diesel fuel oil stored in seismic structures and protected from flooding and wind remains available.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-110 Page 5 of 15 (9) Portable equipment staged for implementation of accident management strategies (e.g., SAMG and EDMG) may be used provided it is stored onsite; is reasonably protected from seismic, wind, and flooding events 1 ; is maintained through programmatic controls; and has implementing actions specified in existing procedures or guidelines. This includes use of portable AC and DC power sources.

(10) Offsite infrastructure supporting communications systems is inoperable, or operating with degraded capability, in the area surrounding the site (e.g.,

cellular telephone or microwave towers, telephone central office buildings, telephone lines, etc.). A licensee has two options for determining the affected a rea.

(a) Apply a default distance value, in all directions, of approximately 25 miles from the plant site, or (b) Develop a site-specific distance assumption and document the basis.

(c) Communications infrastructure in locations beyond the area defined above is not significantly impacted by the event.

(11) Communications equipment located at an offsite response facility, and supplied from a backup power source, is assumed to be functional. The availability of this equipment must be determined in conjunction with Assumption #7, above. For example, a diesel generator-powered satellite telephone system at an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located 4 miles from the plant would be available since the system does not rely upon ground-based communications infrastructure within the affected area. A land-line telephone in the same EOC would not be available due to local infrastructure impacts consistent with Assumption #7.

(12) To be assumed operable, a piece of onsite communications equipment should be in a location, and maintained in a manner, that maximizes survivability following a beyond design basis external event. In particular, the location or manner should reasonably preclude wetting from flooding or impact damage from a seismic event. The equipment itself does not need to be seismically qualified. Equipment should be stored, or otherwise available, in locations that can be readily accessed when needed. To the degree practical, consider potential constraints to equipment access or movement when selecting a storage location. When selecting storage locations, consider criteria presented in regulatory and industry guidance applicable to equipment associated with NRC Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events (e.g., FLEX equipment). The If applicable per the site emergency plan

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-110 Page 6 of 15 above guidance applies to equipment at the point of use (e.g., a radio) as well as any supporting infrastructure components. Such components may include portable power sources, and radio system repeaters and antennas.

(13) End-point equipment identified for a communications link listed below should be used solely for the designated purpose. For example, a satellite telephone assigned to the Control Room should not be credited for performing both Offsite Response Organization (ORO) and NRC notifications.

Reasonable Protection Guidance Option 1: Reasonable protection from seismic, flooding, and wind is defined using the same criteria for the protection and deployment of Flex Strategies in accordance with NEI 12-06 Revision B-1, dated May 2012.

Option 2: Reasonable protection from seismic, flooding, and wind is defined using the following guidance: It is required that Emergency Preparedness (EP) communication equipment be confirmed as being reasonably protected from a beyond design basis seismic event. It is recommended that utilities use, to the extent possible, the existing guidance provided in EPRI NP-6041 for determination of the seismic/wind design capabilities of structures containing, and structures, systems, and components (SSCs) in the vicinity (adjacent and overhead) of, existing EP Communication equipment.

Additionally, existing seismic/wind housekeeping procedures should be used to establish secure storage of EP communication equipment and adjacent SSCs that may pose a potential seismic/wind interaction hazard. Where these procedures and guidance cannot be applied, it should be ensured that EP communication equipment be contained within one or more of the configurations:

(1) In an existing safety related structure designed for the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE), or (2) In a structure designed to or evaluated equivalent to ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, or (3) Outside a structure and evaluated for seismic interactions to ensure equipment is not damaged by nonseismically robust components or structures.

SSCs in the vicinity of the EP Communications equipment where these procedures and guidance cannot be applied should also be confirmed to meet the design criteria given in Options 1 or 2 above.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-110 Page 7 of 15 Option 3: Implement alternate and back-up communications systems and plans, given the beyond-design-basis event renders all on site and offsite communications systems inoperable. No assessment is necessary for this option.

Note: Equipment must be stored in a configuration that ensures survivability. Utilize Options 1 or 2 to meet this configuration requirement.

PG&E used criteria in Option 2 to establish the availability of existing communications systems and select storage and protection for the proposed equipment and systems.

Commitment 8:

PG&E will relocate the SmartMsg and Zetron pager systems from their current location, which is not considered to be seismically robust per NEI 12-01, Revision 0, guidance to an existing structure that is seismically robust. This commitment will be implemented as part of Phase 2, which is scheduled for October 27, 2015.

Objective 3: Evaluate emergency communications equipment at offsite response organization (ORO) facilities.

Results

1. Refer to Appendix A, Table 4.3, for information on equipment at ORO facilities.
2. Refer to Appendices C and 0 for further background information on the applicable communications systems.

Communications capabilities available at the ORO facilities that normally receive DCPP notifications of an emergency declaration or a Protective Action Recommendation are provided through a dedicated offsite agency telephone system. This telephone system for San Luis Obispo County is assumed to be unavailable since the telephone infrastructure is within 25 miles of DCPP. The State of California Warning Center is outside of the 25-mile radius of DCPP.

PG&E and San Luis Obispo County have a jointly located EOF. The County resides on the first floor and PG&E on the second floor of the EOF. Initial notifications to the County (NEI 12-01, Section 4.1.1) are made from the Control Room to the Sheriff Watch Commander until the County Emergency Operations Center is activated. Once activated, the EOF is able to communicate face-to-face with County responders. The Control Room, TSC, and EOF each have at least one satellite phone that is expected to be available post event.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-110 Page 13 of 15 Commitment 9:

PG&E will install a fixed mount satellite phone with an externally mounted antenna in the Sheriff Watch Commander's office. This commitment will be placed in service as part of Phase 2, which is scheduled for October 27, 2015.

Commitment 10:

PG&E will procure additional hand held satellite phones for the Control Room, TSC, and EOF to ensure that a dedicated line will be available to perform State and County notifications. This commitment will be placed in service with approved procedures as part of Phase 1, which is scheduled for December 31,2013.

Objective 4: Evaluate DCPP's ability to notify Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel of an emergency.

Results This area was previously assessed. Information for DCPP was provided to the NRC in PG&E Letter DCL-12-061, dated June 7, 2012.

Previous Commitment PG&E made the following commitment in PG&E Letter DCL-12-061 with respect to capability to augment emergency response staff given degraded communications capabilities:

"PG&E will revise procedures to include degraded communications capabilities, such that Emergency Response Organization members will automatically respond to their assigned facilities or a designated staging area when made aware of an area-wide disaster (e.g., loss-of grid, natural or man-made disaster, etc.). These procedures will be revised by December 31,2012."

Objective 5: Evaluate DCPP's systems and equipment to support communications.

Results This assessment was performed utilizing no reliance upon "multi-use" equipment. All credited lines of communications are dedicated to perform the required function. The credited equipment includes plant private branch exchange (PBX) lines, portable satellite phones, fixed satellite phones, and plant radios. The DCPP PBX lines and plant radios are daily-use systems and are therefore proven to function, as required, to provide adequate communications capabilities. Use of these systems during drills and exercises also demonstrates the functional capability to perform as required.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-110 Page 14 of 15 The ERO demonstrates system functionality of the satellite phones during all drills and exercises where field-monitoring teams participate. The Control Room, TSC, and EOF fixed satellite phones are tested on a quarterly basis for system functionality in accordance with established maintenance and test procedures.

Objective 6: Evaluate DCPP's quality and maintenance requirements of the communications equipment.

Results This assessment confirmed that programmatic controls are applied to communications equipment to ensure availability and reliability, including the performance of periodic inventory checks and operability testing. DCPP procedure OM1 0.DC3, "Emergency Response Facilities, Equipment, and Resources" provides for these programmatic controls. OM1 0.DC3 was developed in accordance with the guidance contained in INPO 10-007, "Equipment Important to Emergency Response."

The DCPP Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures provide the controls and specific requirements for implementing the programmatic controls.

Current DCPP maintenance and test procedures provide reasonable assurance that credited communications equipment is inventoried and tested periodically.

Periodic verification of supporting contracts, specific to supporting communications equipment and power supplies, are conducted annually.

Objective 7: Evaluate DCPP's participation in emergency services provided by the national communications system (NCS) and other communications vendors.

Results All of the EOF Emergency directors, the security director, the security manager, and the emergency planning manager have governme~t emergency telecommunications service (GETS) cards and wireless priority service (WPS) set up.

Commitment 11:

PG&E will obtain additional access for personnel to use the GETS and WPS services.

This commitment will be implemented as part of Phase 2, which is scheduled for October 27,2015.

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-12-11 0 Page 15 of 15 Objective 8: Verify that DCPP has arrangements to utilize emergency services by communications providers.

Results PG&E has contracts in place to utilize emergency services by communications providers. These contracts are verified annually.

Objective 9: Evaluate training that response personnel receive on the location and use of communications systems.

Results Response personnel have received and/or will receive periodic training, as applicable, on the location and use of communications systems and equipment. The training program provides guidance on communications systems for response personnel through drills and exercises.

The majority of the communications equipment, listed in this assessment, is common business use equipment that is used on a daily basis.

Communications Systems/Equipment Alternate methods System/Equipment Description Early Warning Siren System (EWS)

  • Backup route alerting Each PG&E EWS siren site, repeater site, and activation point is designed to be operable in the absence of AC supply power.

The EWS is designed to meet the requirements of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, and employs guidelines set forth in FEMA REP-10, "Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants." The EWS design objective, specified in Appendix 3 of NUREG-0654, is to provide an alert signal within 15 minutes. This signal is initiated in conjunction with broadcasts providing notification and informational or instructional messages to the population on an area-wide basis throughout the NRC minimum ten-mile radius EPZ.

The American Nuclear Society (ANS) design report states that, "The stored emergency electrical power supply (SEPSS) for each siren is designed to allow siren operation in standby mode (radio transceivers, testing circuits, sensors fully operational and providing polling data to the activation, control, monitoring) for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without primary AC supply power from the PG&E electric distribution grid. The SEPSS then is designed to be capable, without recharge, of activating the sirens at full design capability for a period of at least 15 minutes."

Enclosure 2 PG&E Letter DCL-12-110 Results of the Evaluation of Existing Communications Systems Power Supplies In PG&E Letter DCL-12-061, dated June 7, 2012, PG&E committed to evaluate enhancements to existing communications systems power supplies and provide an implementation schedule as required by Communications Request 3 which will include the results of the evaluation of existing communications systems power supplies.

PG&E conducted a load shedding analysis to evaluate enhancements to existing communications systems power supplies. PG&E has concluded that a load shedding scheme is not a viable means to extend battery run time in a post natural disaster event that causes a loss of alternating current power to communication facilities. This conclusion was based on the minimal amount of load that could be shed from the existing communication systems and the amount of resources it would take to achieve a small gain in battery life. Based on the results of the evaluation, an implementation schedule is not applicable.
