Title:
Emergency Plan BASIS FOR CONCLUSION (continued) Page 8-8. Add requirements about Hostile Action Based (HAB) exercises and remedial exercises. This change is being made to ensure the GGNS Emergency Plan meets the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.F.2.d which requires that states fully participate in a HAB exercise at least once per cycle, and that this participation may be rotated between sites whose plume exposure pathway affects that state. Both Mississippi and Louisiana are affected by the plume exposure pathways of GGNS and River Bend and may alternate their participation between both plants. The emergency response plans of both states describe their participation in HAB exercises, and these requirements are included in the GGNS Emergency Plan Implementing procedure EN-EP-307. This change adds these requirements to the GGNS Emergency Plan for clarification and consistency. This change will not adversely affect any of the planning standards in 10CFR50.47 (b) or the program elements in NUREG 0654. No further evaluation is required for this change.

Title:
Emergency Plan Part I. Description of Proposed Change: Added text to section 8.3.1, Drill and Exercise Scenarios to specify that offsite participation by offsite agencies is not required for off-hours or unannounced drills and exercises. Added:
"Participation by offsite agencies is not required for off-hours or unannounced drills and exercises."
Deleted "Provisions are made to start exercises between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. once every eight years." from section 8.3.2 (page 8-7a), Drill and Exercise Schedule, h. Radiation Emergency Exercise. These changes were implemented to comply with the new guidance in NSIR/OPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning For Nuclear Power Plants, and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev.1, Supplement 4, October 2011 which removes the requirement for offsite agencies to participate in off hours and unannounced drills and exercises. Part II. Description and Review of Licensing Basis Affected by the Proposed Change: A word search was performed on the current revision of the GGNS emergency plan using key words: "state",
"unannounced", "4:00", and "6:00".
Revision 1 of the GGNS Emergency Plan was reviewed for the original approved text used to describe off-hours drills or exercises and unannounced drills and exercises. This section of the Emergency Plan was changed in revision 23 to reflect the moming time from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00a.m. based on inspection module 82-302. Revision 1 of the Plan approved by the NRC, established the licensing basis for the GGNS Emergency Plan. It, along with the changes in revision 23, and the changes in revision 75 were considered in their entirety. Part III. Describe How the Proposed Change Complies with Relevant Emergency Preparedness Regulation(s) and Previous Commitment(s) Made to the NRC: 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(14) Periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of the emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected. Site Compliance: Through implementation of this revision, the commitment to comply with the planning standards provided in 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(14) remains, and the requirement for off-hours and unannounced drills or exercises for plant ERO remains in the Emergency Plan. Part IV. Description of Emergency Plan Planning Standards, Functions and Program Elements Affected by the Proposed Change: 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) - Drill and Exercise Program
- A drill and exercise program (including radiological, medical, health physics, and other program areas) is established.
- Drills, exercises, and training evolutions that provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain, and demonstrate key skills, are assessed via a formal critique process in order to identify weaknesses.
- Identified weaknesses are corrected.

Title:
Emergency Plan Part V. Description of Impact of the Proposed Change on the Effectiveness of Emergency Plan Functions: The change removes the requirementfor offsite agencies to participate in off hours and unannounced drills and exercise in accordance with the guidance in NSIRlDPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning For Nuclear Power Plants, and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1. Rev.1, Supplement4, October 2011. For the onsiteERa, the drill requirements remain the same. Offsiteagencies will continue to participate in all other scheduled drills and exercises that require their participation. Although they will not be required to participatein off hours and unannounced drills, the GGNS emergency planning organization may invite them to participate based on the scenario requirements and extent of play. Since offsite emergency response agencies participate in other drills and exercises with GGNS, their participation in the unannounced and off hours drills and exercises is unnecessaryto maintain proficiency. For this reason, removal of the requirementfor them to participateduring off hours and unannounced drills and exercises is not considered a reduction In effectiveness. Although the following text was deleted from section 8.3.2: "Provisions are made to start exercises between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. once every eight years.", It still remains in section 8.3.1 for the onslte ERO, but with the qualifier that offslte agencies do not need to participate. The proposed changes to the GGNS emergency plan continue to meet the planning standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).The effectiveness of the emergency plan is not reduced. The emergency plan changes can be incorporated without prior NRC approval. Part VI. Evaluation Conclusion Answer the following questions about the proposed change.
- 1. Doesthe proposed change comply with 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E? f8]YES 0 NO
- 2. Doesthe proposed change maintain the effectivenessof the emergencyplan (i.e.* no reduction in effectiveness)?
[8JYES 0 NO
- 3. Doesthe proposed change constitute an emergency action level scheme change? DYES [8] NO If questions 1 or 2 are answered NO, or question 3 answered YES, reject the proposed change, modify the proposed change and perform a new evaluation or obtain prior NRC approval under provisions of 10CFR 50.90. It questions 1 and 2 are answered YES, and question 3 answered NO, implementapplicable change process(es). Refer to step 5.8[8].

The offsite portion of the medical drill may be performed separately, or as part of an exercise or other scheduled drill."
Part II. Description and Review of Licensing Basis Affected by the Proposed Change: Performed electronic search of the GGNS Emergency Plan section 8.3.2 Drill and Exercise Schedule, 7.8 First Aid and Medical Facilities, 6.7.3 Medical Transportation, 6.74 Medical Treatment, 5.6 Local Services Support, 5.6.1 Medical Support, Appendix "0" Letters of Agreement (River Region Health System, Claiborne County Hospital, and Metro Ambulance Service. Revision 1 of the Emergency Plan was reviewed for the original approved text used to describe the Medical Emergency Drill. The description of section 8.3.2 d. states:" A drill involving the First Aid Team and local support hospitals will be conducted on an annual basis and shall include simulated radiological emergencies." The' text was revised in Revision 18 to:" A drill involving the First Aid Team and local support hospitals is conducted on an annual basis and includes simulated radiological emergencies." Revision 18 removed the words "will be" and "shall" and replaced them with the verbs "is" and "includes", respectively. The commitment was not changed with the use of the new verbs.

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Part IV. Description of Emergency Plan Planning Standards, Functions and Program Elements Affected by the Proposed Change: 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) - Drill and Exercise Program
- A drill and exercise program (including radiological, medical, health physics, and other program areas) is established.
- Drills, exercises, and training evolutions that provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain, and demonstrate key skills, are assessed via a formal critique process in order to identify weaknesses;
- Identified weaknesses are corrected.
Sections IV.F.1-2 of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 provides supporting requirements. Informing criteria appear in Section II.N of NUREG-0654 and the licensee's emergency plan. Part V. Description of Impact of the Proposed Change on the Effectiveness of Emergency Plan Functions: The change clarifies the text in section 8.3.2.d and is more consistent with the wording used by the rest of the Entergy Fleet. The second sentence in section 8.3.2.b further clarifies that the onsite and offsite portion of the drill may be separated. This is implied in the NUREG 0654 wording by referring to the oftsite portion of the drill as being allowed to be performed as part of the required annual exercise. Additionally, the offsite portion of the drill is composed of two sub-portions: The ambulance sub-portion involves ambulance and potentially site personnel. The hospital sub-portion involves hospital and potentially site personnel. These sub-portions can be drilled separately with drill objective being exercised independently with very little or no additional simulation. Aside from the clarification about the onsite and offsite portion of the medical drill, the drill requirements remain the same. The drill will continue to challenge ERO personnel and they continue to be provided adequate opportunities to practice the use of procedures and equipment associated with the drill. The periodicity of the drill (annually) and the elements performed during the drill (first aid, contamination control, communication, surveys, dosimetry), and the offsite support services and facilities (ambulance, hospital) are not affected as a result of the change. Since the onsite and offsite portion of the drill are allowed to be separated with no adverse impact, and the drill objectives remain unchanged for the site, hospital, and ambulance service, the clarification to section 8.3.2.b is not considered a reduction in effectiveness. The proposed changes to the GGNS emergency plan continue to meet the planning standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).The effectiveness of the emergency plan is not reduced. The emergency plan changes can be incorporated without prior NRC approval. Part VI. Evaluation Conclusion Answer the following questions about the proposed change. I. Does the proposed change comply with 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E? ~YESONO

GG FSAR 1.23 Emergency Plant Manager - an individual designated the responsibility for accident mitigation at the plant. ] .24 EOF Emergency Director - an individual designated the responsibility for the total emergency response effort and is the central figure for the emergency organization. The EOF Emergency Director relieves the Shift Manager of the Emergency Director responsibilities at which time the Shift Manager resumes Control Room duties. 1.25 Exclusion Area - The area surrounding the plant owned by the reactor licensee in which he I has the authority to determine all activities including exclusion or removal of persons and property from the area during accident conditions. 1.26 Fitness For Duty (FFD) - A company policy implementing requirements under 10CFR26 that provides reasonable assurance that employees and other individuals directly associated with GGNS facilities will perform their tasks in a reliable and trustworthy manner. This is accomplished in part by assuring they are not under influence of any substance, legal or illegal, Of mentally or physically impaired from any cause, which in any way adversely affects their ability to safely and competently perform their duties. This policy provides measures for early detection of persons who are' not fit to perform their assigned duties. 1.27 General Emergency - An emergency classification in which events are in process 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. 1.28 Hostile Action - An act toward the plant or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the plant staff to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land or water using guns, explosives projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the plant. Non-1-4 Revision 6103/09
GG FSAR terrorism based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g. violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area). 1.29 Hostile Force - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destructions. 1.30 Ingestion Exposure Pathway - An area with a radius of about 50 miles from the reactor site. Predetermined protective action plans are in place for this EPZ and are designed to avoid or reduce dose from potential ingestion of radioactive materials. These actions include a ban of contaminated food and water. 1.31 Joint Information Center eIlC) - An area designated outside the protected area that provides a location for the media so that communication and information can be disseminated concerning plant conditions and emergency operations. 1.32 Low Population Zone (LPZ) - As defined in 10CFRI 00.3, the area immediately surrounding the exclusion area which contains residents, the total number and density are such that appropriate protective measures could be taken in their behalf in the event of a serious accident. The low population zone for the Grand Gulf Site is the area within a 2-mile radius from the plant. 1.33 Monitor and Prepare - A type of precautionary action intended to advise the public within the EPZ that a serious emergency at the nuclear power plant exists and that it should monitor the situation and prepare for the possibility of evacuation, Shelter In Place (SIP), or other protective actions. 1.34 Non-Essential Personnel - employees not having emergency assignments (ERO), visitors, contractors/construction personnel, and members of the public who may be in public access areas within the Exclusion Area or Emergency Preparedness Owner Controlled Area.

(This is the same as the Notification of Unusual Event defined in NUREG-0654; the two expressions are used interchangeably in the Plan and related procedures as appropriate.) 1-8 Revision 72 11/14
GG FSAR 2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 2.1 Criterion for Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Development The Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Emergency Plan (the Plan) has been developed in accordance with NUREG-Q654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." The format parallels the guidance given in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Planning for Nuclear Plants," Revision 1, dated March, 1977. 2.2 Am>licability of the Emergency Plan 2.2.1 General Information and Site Description The Grand Gulf Nuclear Station is a nuclear power plant operated by Entergy Operations, Inc. An area map showing the geographical location of the facility is provided in Figure 2-1. The design of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station is that of a boiling water nuclear steam supply system supplied by the General Electric Company. A diagram identifying the station facilities is provided in Figure 2-2. The plant is located in Claiborne County, Mississippi. The site is on the east bank of the Mississippi River, approximately 25 miles south, southwest of Vicksburg and 37 miles north-northeast of Natchez. The Grand Gulf Military Park borders a portion of the north side of the property, and the small community of Grand Gulf is approximately 1-1/2 miles to the north. The town of Port Gibson is about 6 miles southeast of the site. Two lakes, Gin Lake and Hamilton Lake, are located in the western portion of the site. These lakes were once the channel of the Mississippi River and average about eight to ten feet in depth. The site and its environs consist primarily of woodlands divided between two 2-1 Revision 23 6/92
GG FSAR physiographic regions. The western half of the site is in the alluvial plain of the Mississippi River; the eastern half is in the Loess or Bluff Hills. The elevation of the site varies between 60 and 80 feet above mean sea level in the alluvial plain region, while the Loess Hills portion varies from 80 to more than 200 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The plant site property boundary encompasses approximately 2100 acres of property that makes up the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) plant site. System Energy Resources, Inc. (SERI), South Mississippi Electric Power Association (SMEPA), and Entergy - Mississippi own the plant site property as noted in Section 2.1.1.2 of the GGNS FSAR. There are no unrelated industrial, commercial, institutional or residential structures, with the exception of a Branch Office for Riverland Credit Union, located within the site boundary. Riverland Credit Union Branch Office is located in the Site Processing Facility which is inside the exclusion area. The boundary lines of the plant exclusion area consist of semicircles drawn from the center of each containment joined by tangent straight lines. The minimum distance from each reactor to the exclusion area is 696 meters. This is the closest distance from the center of Unit 1 containment to the plant property line. There are no railroads or waterways that traverse the site. One county road runs through the site; Bald Hill Road traverses the exclusion area and cuts through the south-southeast, south, south-southwest, and southwest sectors. The site area is accessible by two major highways. U.S. Highway 61 and State Highway 18 connect Port Gibson (6 miles southeast of the site) with Natchez, Jackson and Vicksburg. 2-2 Revision 64 11/10
GG FSAR There are no military installations located near the site area and no known missile sites in either Mississippi or Louisiana. The nearest military facility is England Air Force Base in Alexandria, Louisiana, about 100 miles to the southwest. The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (lSFSI) is located within the protected area boundary for interim dry storage of spent fuel. The HOLTEC spent fuel storage casks are designed to ensure protection of public health and safety through the use of physical baniers to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity and through the use of shielding to minimize radiation dose to the public from both normal and off-normal conditions of operation. The analysis summarized in the HOLTEC Cask FSAR demonstrate that under assumed accident conditions, the consequences of accidents challenging the integrity of the barriers will not exceed limits established in 10 CFR 72.106. 2-2 a Revision 58 12/06
GG FSAR 2.2.2 Population and Population Distribution The individuals residing in the LPZ are distributed such that appropriate measures could be taken in their behalf in the event of a serious accident. Figure 2-3 illustrates the LPZ and indicates population distribution within a 10-mile radius of the site. Table 2-1 lists the facilities and institutions within approximately ten miles of the GGNS which may require special consideration in preparing emergency plans. Seasonal and peak daily transient population within the LPZ is mainly due to recreational use of the Grand Gulf Military Park, hunting and sport fishing. The closest population center is Vicksburg, Mississippi, located approximately 25 miles north-northeast of the site, with a 1990 population of 27,496. The nearest major city is Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson is located about 55 miles east-northeast of the site and has a population of 196,637 according to a 1990 population survey. Table 2-2 shows the resident population distribution in evacuation area by sector. 2.2.3 Emergency Planning Zones In defining the Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs), Grand Gulf Nuclear Station has taken into consideration such things as organizational capabilities, method of implementation for various emergency plans and the availability of onsite and offsite emergency facilities and equipment. EPZs are designated areas for which planning is recommended to assure that prompt and effective actions are taken to protect the public in the event of an emergency. Two primary zones have been identified for the purpose of development and implementation of emergency planning. The first Emergency Planning Zone has a 10-mile radius. This EPZ is established in response to the possible direct exposure to the 2-3 Revision 25 12/93
GG FSAR plume. Within this zone, shelter, evacuation and consideration of prophylactic use of potassium iodide are the protective actions recommended for the general public, as necessary. The principal concern in the 10 mile EPZ is the plume exposure pathway. The counties within the 10 mile EPZ are Claiborne County and Warren County, in Mississippi, and Tensas Parish in Louisiana (refer to figure 2-4). Beyond a ten mile radius the effect of direct exposure to the plume is no longer of significant concern because the plume is sufficiently dispersed so as not to present an immediate hazard. The second EPZ has a fifty mile radius. This EPZ is established in response to possible exposure to deposited radionuclides, whether in water or on the ground or vegetation. The principal concern in the 50 mile EPZ is the ingestion exposure pathway. This may necessitate monitoring of such pathways as crops, dairy cows, farm animals, and pastures. Those counties in Mississippi within the 50-mile EPZ include Issaquena, Sharkey, Yazoo, Warren, Madison, Hinds, Rankin, Copiah, Simpson, Lincoln, Amite, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Wilkinson, and Claiborne. Those parishes in Louisiana within the 50-mile EPZ include East and West Carol, Richland, Madison, Tensas, Catahoula, Concordia, Franklin, and Caldwell (refer to Figure 2-5). Figure 2-4 is a detailed 10-mile sector map. 2.3 Scope of the Emergency Plan The principles of effective emergency preparedness incorporate not only the emergency response for systems but also include response for people. Engineered safety systems at the Station are designed to ensure that the consequences of a major malfunction are to be mitigated prior to any adverse effect on the general public or the Station. The basis for emergency planning is to provide human emergency response in much the same way as safety systems do for the physical plant. 2-4 Revision 56 01/06
GG FSAR 2.3.1 Regulatory Requirements 10CFRSO, "Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, II requires that each application for a license to operate a facility include in a Final Safety Analysis Report 2-4a Revision 52 07/04 I
GG FSAR (FSAR), along with other information, the applicant's plans for coping with emergencies, including the items specified in 10CFR50.34, 10CFRSO.47, and 10CFR Part 50, Appendix E. IOCFR100.3 "Reactor Site Criteria," in the definitions of Exclusion Area and Low Population Zone, establishes additional criteria for plans to cope with emergencies and serious accidents. Specific requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are detailed in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-l, Rev. 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." 2.3.2 Objectives of the Emergency Plan The objectives of the Emergency Plan are:
- a. Enable classification of the emergency
- b. Assign responsibilities
- c. Provide for assessment of onsite and offsite radiological conditions during and/or following an emergency.
- d. Outline the most effective course of action required to safeguard the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency.
- e. Recommend implementation of any protective actions deemed appropriate.
- f. Enable mitigation of the radiological consequences of an emergency, both onsite and offsite.
- g. Provide for the training of all emergency organization personnel.
2.4 Emergency Plan Interrelationships The Plan is designed to be compatible with radiological incident plans developed by local, state and Federal agencies through establishment of communication channels with these agencies, and by setting criteria for the notification of such authorities. The Plan should not, in itself, be considered the sole working document to be used during an emergency. The purpose of the Plan is to classify emergencies according to their 2-5 Revision 25 12/93
GG FSAR severity, to assign responsibilities for actions, and to establish the lines of authority and communication so that the most effective course of action can be developed to safeguard the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency. Detailed instructions and guidelines for emergency actions are included in various emergency procedures. The principal emergency facilities that the major groups function from, are shown in Figure 7-1, including general locations from GGNS. 2.4.1 Emergency Plan* Procedures Detailed procedures required to implement the Plan have been developed. Emergency Plan Procedures (EPPs), whichdirect the actions of emergency organization, are safety related and located in Volume 10 of the GGNS Plant Operating Procedures Manual. An index of these procedures is included in Appendix A. Detailed implementing procedures for emergencies considered to be special events, such as civil disturbances, bomb threats, and breaches in security are included as part of the GGNS Physical Security Plan. Separate emergency procedures are not provided for activities already covered by plant or section operating procedures (i.e., calibration of survey instruments). The Plan incorporates certain aspects of the plant's operating procedures, radiation protection procedures, fire procedures and security procedures, where they are required for clarification. 2.4.2 Related Plans. Programs and Procedures Several plans, programs and procedures have been developed to assure the safe operation of the Station. The Plan and Emergency Plan Procedures have been written to coordinate with these other plans, programs and procedures. During emergency situations, the coordination and utilization of all plans and procedures is essential. The Security Plan and procedures have been coordinated with the Plan and Emergency Plan Procedures to minimize the consequences of an emergency situation. Security 2-6 Revision 25 12/93
GG FSAR Procedures contain an explanation of the duties and responsibilities for security personnel in the event of an emergency. Provisions for radiological control at the Station have been covered in Administrative and Radiation Protection Procedures. These Procedures establish controls and protective measures to be placed on work being conducted within the Restricted Area. A number of emergency operating procedures have been developed to control plant operation during emergency situations. These emergency operating procedures work in conjunction with the Emergency Plan Procedures and are safety related procedures. A site fire plan for the control of fires has also been developed and procedurally implemented to assure the safe operation of the station. Fire Plan procedures are referenced in the Emergency Plan Procedures. 2.4.3 Participating Governmental Agencies Participating governmental agencies whose plans are interrelated with this plan for action include the following:
- a. Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)
Charged with direct responsibility for the planning and coordination of the activities of State and local government agencies in the event of a radiological emergency.
- b. Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH)
Has overall responsibility to protect the public health and safety of the general populace from the hazards of radiation. The Division of Radiological Health (ORR) is that division within the MSDH which is assigned the specific responsibility with regard to the hazards of radiation.
- c. Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ)
Has overall responsibility for planning as well as the lead technical response role in the event of a radiological emergency. 2-7 Revision 39 7/99
GG FSAR
- d. Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP)
Has responsibility for coordination of state agencies as well as logistical and resource support to local governments in the event of a radiological emergency.
- e. Department of Energy (DOE)
The DOE, a Federal agency, provides radiological monitoring assistance. There are trained personnel on staff to provide additional expertise onsite/offsite during a radiological accident.
- f. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
The role of the NRC during a radiological emergency is that of verifying that emergency plans and procedures have been implemented, assuring that the public health and safety are protected, and conducting investigative activities associated with the incident. The NRC assists in the coordination of Federal response resources and provide to the licensee, state, and local agencies advisory assistance associated with assessing and mitigating hazards to the public. The NRC's actions are governed by NUREG-728, "NRC Incident Response Plan", and NUREG-0845, "Agency Procedures for the NRC Incident Response Plan."
- g. County and Parish Emergency Services Claiborne County in Mississippi and Tensas Parish in Louisiana are the local governmental jurisdictions within the 10 mile radius of the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. They have developed plans to be implemented in the event of a radiological emergency. Claiborne County Civil Defense and Tensas Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness have communication centers which serve as the means for notifying various support services (fire and rescue, transportation, law enforcement).

SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN OF EMERGENCY PLAN OF EMERGENCY PLAN 3.1 Emergency Planning In accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.47 and Appendix E to 10CFR50, and supplemented bytheguidance issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in NUREG-0654 and other documents, the Plan and its associated Emergency Plan Procedures have been established to cope with the various types of emergencies in an orderly and effective manner. Grand Gulf Nuclear Station maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The Plan shall be implemented by the appropriate procedures in AppendixA whenever a realor potential plant emergency is identified that meets the Emergency Action Level criteria described in Section 4.0. The details of the Emergency Plan Procedures are not included herein, but the information contained within the Plan includes a description of procedures to an extent sufficient to demonstrate that the Plan provides assurance that appropriate actions can be taken by the Station and support agencies to protect Station personnel and the general public during emergencies. The Plan establishes the concepts, evaluation and assessment criteria, and protective actions that are necessary to mitigate the consequences of any of the four classes of emergencies. The Plan also provides the necessary pre-arrangements, directions, and organizations so that all Station emergencies can be effectively resolved in order to safeguard Station personnel, property, and the general public. 3-1 Revision 74 12/15
GG FSAR 3.2 Emergency Plan Steps In general, the Plan encompasses the following:
- a. Detection of the emergency
- b. Classification of the emergency
- c. Activation of the responding organization(s)
- d. Assessment of the event
- e. Initiation of corrective actions
- f. Recommend initiation of protective actions 3 -1a Revision 68 08/12 I
GG FSAR
- g. Aid to affected persons
- h. Re-entry and Recovery 3.3 Emergency Direction and Assignments At the onset of all station emergencies, the Shift Manager shall assume the position of Emergency Director and is responsible for initiating the immediate actions required to safeguard the public, onsite personnel and equipment. Utilizing the Emergency Plan Procedures, he orders the activation of the necessary portions of the Emergency Organization. Upon notification of an Unusual Event from the Shift Manager, the EOF Emergency Director may report to the plant and assume the position of Emergency Director as deemed necessary. Upon notification of an Alert or higher emergency classification, the EOF Emergency Director reports to the site and assumes the position of Emergency Director from the Shift Manager. The Shift Manager will resume control room duties upon relief by the augmenting EOF Emergency Director when the EOF is declared operational. Section 5.0 describes, in detail, the assignments and duties of key Emergency Organization Personnel.
The criteria which are to be considered for the safe operation of the plant and/or for actions during an emergency are summarized below:
- a. Protection of plant personnel and the general public has the highest priority. Plant system and equipment protection is secondary.
- b. Whenever there is doubt as to the classification of the emergency condition, the more conservative case shall be considered.
- c. Operators are to believe and respond conservatively to all alarms. Alarms and instrumentation are only to be considered erroneous if proven so by 2 independent indications.
- d. Alarms shall be promptly acknowledged and the required response action taken.
- e. Indications of situations and actions taken are to be made a matter of record.
Notifications to personnel and/or offsite agencies are also to be made a matter of record. 3-2 Revision 64 11/10
GG FSAR 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS 4.1 Emergency Classification System There are four classes of emergency conditions used in emergency planning. These four classes cover the entire spectrum of possible emergency situations, from minor local incidents to hypothetical major radiological emergencies, and allow for classification of an accident, notification of the appropriate offsite agencies and support groups, and the activation of emergency organizations. The system also provides for the notification and implementation of actions immediately applicable to a specific condition, and for upgrading the response to the appropriate level of classification in the event of a change in the severity of the condition. These actions are further described in Section 6.0. Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are used to provide indication that an initiating condition exists. These levels are composed of a combination of plant parameters (such as instrument readings and system status) that can be used to give relatively quick indication to the Station operating staff of the severity of the accident situation. The purpose of the EALs is to provide the earliest possible indication of actual or potential accident situations. In most cases further assessment action is conducted both onsite and offsite before actual protective actions are initiated. EALs associated with radiological releases are related to the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guides (PAGs) summarized in EPA 400-R-92-001 "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents." A determination by the station emergency organization, along with state and local support agencies, of the potential of reaching or exceeding the PAGs is performed in accordance with dose assessment procedures in the event of a radiological release to the environment. The EALs discussed in this section are found in Table 4-1. The EALs were developed from guidance in NEI 99-01, Revision 4 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" and from accidents analyzed in the GGNS Final Safety Analysis Report. When EALs are observed in conjunction with plant or equipment status due to planned maintenance or testing activities, an emergency condition may or may not exist and the situation must be evaluated on a case by case basis. 4-1 Revision 59 06/07
GG FSAR The four emergency classes that comprise the emergency classification system are:
- a. Unusual Event
- b. Alert
- c. Site Area Emergency
- d. General Emergency 4.1.1 Unusual Event The Unusual Event classification is an emergency in which events are in process 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 release of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
The EALs Table 4-1, while comprehensive, are not meant to be all inclusive. The Emergency Director may declare an Unusual Event based on other plant conditions and the potential for the degradation of these conditions. Training of the Emergency Organization members should emphasize the need to evaluate the potential for more serious plant conditions to occur at a future time. 4.1.2 Alert The Alert classification is an emergency classification in which events are in process 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. Because of the increased potential for more serious offsite consequences, the emergency organization is activated, as well as notification of key offsite authorities and the news media. The Alert class also addresses limited releases of radioactive material and therefore might require some radiological monitoring and assessment actions by the emergency organizations. 4-2 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR The Alert class assures that emergency personnel are readily available to respond to a change in plant conditions and to provide assessment support as required. 4.1.3 Site Area Emergency Site Area Emergency is an emergency classification in which events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or Hostile Action that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to likely failure of or; (2) prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Immediate protective actions are not required upon notification of a Site Area Emergency condition; however, preliminary steps are initiated in anticipation of possible protective actions. These preliminary steps include complete activation of the emergency organization, alerting and/or mobilizing of monitoring teams, and notification of all offsite authorities and the news media. The Site Area Emergency class includes accidents which have a significant potential for the release of radioactive material. Unlike the two previously described classes of emergencies, the Site Area Emergency is very likely to involve some radiation exposure to the near-site public. Also, many of the accidents included in this class have the potential for escalation to the General Emergency class. 4.1.4 General Emergency The most severe emergency class used in emergency planning is the General Emergency. General Emergency is an emergency classification in which events are in process 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. 4-3 Revision65 04/11
GG FSAR Protective actions shall be recommended upon declaration of the General Emergency, as the accidents considered could result in the exceeding of the lower limits of the PAGs. The General Emergency EALs that require dose projections offsite use actual meteorology rather than the adverse meteorology assumptions used in the Site Area Emergency action levels. None of the accidents analyzed in the FSAR would normally be classified asa General Emergency. However, the Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) within the reactor coolant pressure boundary analyzed in the FSAR could lead to a General Emergency classification in a situation where there was a subsequent loss of plant safety systems leading to a possible core melt and failure of containment. Criteria to be used for declaration of a General Emergency includes core and containment status as well as actual radiation release data. 4.2 Classification of Postulated Accidents A thorough analysis of each of the postulated accidents is included in the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). All of the postulated accidents could be classified into one of the four emergency classes (See Table 4-2). In classifying each of the postulated accidents, the conservative assumptions used in the FSAR analysis were considered. It is possible that occurrence of some of the postulated accidents results in a classification lower in severity. 4-4 Revision 61 03/09 I

Specific organization structure and staffing is the responsibility of the Site Vice President at the time the recovery organization is instituted. Authority and responsibility of individuals who fill key positions in the recovery organization are the same as that held in the respective emergency organizations. 5 -19 Revision 61 03/09 I
GG FSAR 5.6 Local Services SupPOrt The potential nature of some emergencies may warrant the utilization of offsite individuals, organizations, and agencies. As a result, local support service arrangements have been made with offsite groups to provide aid in the event of an emergency situation, including hostile action situations, at Grand Gulf. Support services encompass such things as medical assistance, fire control, evacuation, ambulance services, and law enforcement. Since it is imperative that the availability of these support agencies be on short notice, written agreements have been entered into with the organizations. The agencies, in the Letters of Agreement, have outlined their responsibilities, assuring their response to a call for aid. Copies of the appropriate Letters of Agreement have been included in Appendix D. The local services support groups are described in the following subsections. 5.6.1 Medical Support In certain instances, medical emergencies may require the transport of an injured person from the Station to an offsite medical facility. Transportation of injured persons to the medical facility is normally provided by the regional ambulance service. In the event that these services are unavailable, provisions are in place to transport injured persons in company owned or private vehicles. Ambulances are equipped with radios to maintain communications with the hospital. The primary medical facility for injured personnel, with or without contamination, is the Patient's Choice Medical Center located in Port Gibson approximately six miles from the plant site. This hospital has agreed to accept injured personnel and/or victims of radiation-related accidents for emergency medical and surgical treatment and observation. River Region Medical Center has agreed to serve as a back-up with the same emergency medical capabilities as Patient's Choice Medical Center. 5 - 20 Revision 71 06/14
GG FSAR Hospital emergency kits for treatment of contaminated personnel are maintained at these facilities. If medical treatment of the injured and/or contaminated personnel requires assistance or medical expertise beyond the capabilities of the local facilities, the patients would be transferred to a support hospital. GGNS has an agreement with The Ochsner Clinic to provide hospital and medical services for injured/ contaminated or overexposed personnel. 5.6.2 Fire Support When it is determined by emergency management personnel that offsite fire support is needed, the Claiborne County Fire Department, located approximately six miles from the plant and available 24 hour per day, is alerted. Notification of a need for offsite fire fighting assistance is made by means of a telephone call. The Claiborne County Fire Department has an informal aid pact with the Port Gibson Fire Department. These two fire fighting groups have agreed, upon request, to furnish each other with fire fighting personnel, resources, and facilities and to render such fire protection services which may be necessary to suppress any fire or disaster which goes beyond the control of either of the agencies. In all cases where additional fire support groups would be brought in to assist at the Station, the Claiborne County Fire Department Fire Chief directs all offsite fire fighting personnel, while the GGNS Emergency Director retains overall responsibility for onsite emergency response. In instances where offsite fire fighting assistance is needed to fight a fire involving radioactive materials, radiological information and assistance is provided by knowledgeable members of the Emergency Organization. 5 - 21 Revision 64 11/10
GG FSAR 5.6.3 Law Enforcement Agencies The nature of a radiological emergency at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station may require that the local law enforcement agencies be activated to assist in the emergency effort. Because it is essential that they be available during certain emergency situations, the Claiborne County Sheriff's Department and the Port Gibson Police Department have agreed to provide the following emergency support:
- a. Controlling matters of civil disorder within Claiborne County (provided by Sheriffs Department) and within the city limits of Port Gibson (provided by Sheriffs Department and Port Gibson Police Department)

GG FSAR 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES 6.1 Initiating Emergency Measures Emergency measures must be taken in response to an emergency condition. Upon recognizing and officially declaring that one of the four classes of emergencies exists, the emergency organization is activated. Once activation has taken place, assessments of the condition are made, corrective and protective actions are taken and aid to affected persons is administered as required. 6.1.1 Emergency Suspension of Normal Quality Assurance Procedures and Administrative Controls, License Conditions, and Technical Specifications Should emergency circumstances require, reasonable actions that depart from normal Quality Assurance Procedures, Administrative Controls, License Conditions or Technical Specifications may be taken when this action is immediately needed to protect the public health and safety. These action may only be taken if no action consistent with normal Quality Assurance Procedures, Administrative Controls, License Conditions and Technical Specifications that can provide adequate or equivalent protection is immediately apparent. At a minimum, approval by a licensed senior reactor operator is required before any such action may be taken. 6.1.2 Suspension of Normal Emergency Actions for Security Emergencies The Emergency Director and Emergency Plant Manager, upon the Emergency Director's evaluating and classifying a security emergency into any of the four emergency classifications discussed in 4.0, should only activate those personnel and facilities necessary to mitigate the emergency situation. This is the only exception to the personn~l and facility activations described in the Plan and related implementing procedures; it is permitted because of the potential risk to personnel which a security emergency may present. 6-1 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR 6.2 Activation of Emergency Organization The initial step in declaring an emergency is to recognize that an unusual condition exists or has the potential for existing. The Emergency Action Levels, as specified in Section 4.0, provide the criteria for determining when an abnormal situation exists that requires the declaration of an emergency and the subsequent activation of the applicable portions of the Emergency Organization. 6.2.1 Control Room Operators Normally, initial recognition of conditions requmng emergency actions occurs In the Control Room. Sometimes these conditions are signaled by alarms or instrument readings. If control room operators, or any other shift personnel, recognize an unusual condition or occurrence, it is their responsibility to immediately notify the Shift Manager. 6.2.2 Shift Manager Upon notification of a real or potential emergency condition, the Shift Manager is responsible for determining whether or not the declaration of an emergency is required. If it is, he is then responsible for the activation of the Plan and assuming the role of Emergency Director. If a specific action level has been reached or exceeded, he declares the appropriate emergency classification. The Shift Manager takes the following actions to ensure the safety of plant personnel and the general public and the safe operation of the plant.
- 1. Classify the emergency and make the required notifications
- 2. Perform assessment actions
- 3. Perform any other emergency actions as appropriate.
6-2 Revision 43 10/00
GG FSAR 6.2.3 Shift Technical Advisor The Shift Technical Advisor advises and assists the Shift Manager on matters pertaining to the safe operation of the plant. 6.2.4 Emergency Director The Plan is activated with the declaration of an emergency. The Shift Manager continues as the Emergency Director until properly relieved by the EOF Emergency Director. The Emergency Director shall ensure that notification is initiated within 15 minutes of an emergency declaration. Primary Secondary
- 1. (a) Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (b) Mississippi Hwy Patrol
- 2. (a) Governor's Office of Homeland Security and (b) Louisiana Dept. of Envir. Qual ity Emergency Preparedness
- 3. (a) Claiborne County Sheriffs Dept (b) Claiborne County Civil Defense
- 4. (a) Tensas Parish Sheriffs Dept An example of the form that is used for Emergency Notification is shown in Figure 6-2 and included as part of the Emergency Preparedness Forms Control Process. Copies of this notification form are available in the appropriate emergency centers. The phone number is included on the form so states may call back to verify the authenticity of the accident.
In accordance with 10CFR50.72 the NRC Operations Center shall be notified by telephone immediately after notification of the appropriate state and local agencies and not later than one hour after the declaration of one of the Emergency Classes. Upon arrival in the EOF, the EOF Emergency Director assumes the position of Emergency Director in accordance with Emergency Plan Procedures. 6-3 Revision 75 3/17
GG FSAR The Emergency Director evaluates the accident conditions and verifies that the correct emergency classification has been declared. He then activates the appropriate portions of the Emergency Organizations if that has not already been done by the Shift Manager. In any case, the Emergency Plant Manager is notified. If an Unusual Event has been declared, those members of the operating shift needed to handle the emergency are activated. If the Emergency Director feels there is a reasonable possibility of escalation of the emergency to a higher classification, applicable portions of the Emergency Organization are activated. If an Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency has been declared, the entire Emergency Organization is activated. 6.3 Assessment Actions Continuous assessment throughout the course of an emergency is necessary to effectively coordinate and direct the elements of the Emergency Organization. The initial assessment actions are dictated, in part, by the Emergency Action Level that has been reached or exceeded. 6.3.1 Assessment Actions During Unusual Events An Unusual Event condition requires basic emergency assessments. Attention must be paid to parameters that may indicate a possible worsening of conditions, (i.e. radioactive releases). 6-4 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR 6.3.2 Assessment Actions During Alerts The existence of an Alert condition requires the following assessment actions as applicable.
- a. Increased surveillance of applicable in-plant instrumentation.
- b. Visual observation of the affected plant area.
- c. Onsite and offsite radiological monitoring if a radioactive release has taken place or is suspected.
- d. Determination of offsite doses if applicable.
6.3.3 Assessment Actions During Site Area Emergencies In the event of a Site Area Emergency, assessment activities are more extensive than for an Alert. In addition to the activities that would be carried out during an Alert, the following activities would be performed as appropriate:
- a. Monitor Meteorological data.
- b. Dispatch radiological monitoring teams to offsite locations downwind of a release in conjunction with state radiological monitoring efforts.
- c. Assess Offsite radioiodine thyroid doses.
- d. Assess Offsite whole body dose.
6.3.4 Assessment Actions During General Emergencies In the event of a General Emergency, all assessment activities described for a Site Area Emergency will be conducted. Assessment of onsite and offsite exposures are performed regularly to determine if and when site or public sheltering and evacuations may be required; and the results, including methods and assumptions, are communicated to offsite officials. 6-5 Revision 43 10/00
GG FSAR 6.4 Corrective Actions Corrective Actions are performed by plant personnel who are technically trained and capable of implementing the station's Plan and procedures. 6.5 Protective Actions The protective actions to be implemented onsite are the responsibility of GGNS, while the States of Mississippi and Louisiana and the counties within the 10-mile EPZ are responsible for providing offsite protective actions. The states are specifically responsible for protective actions for the 50-mile ingestion pathway EPZ. A range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan 6.5.1 Protective Cover, Evacuation, Personnel Accountability
- a. Grand GulfNuclear Station
- 1. When an Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency is declared, all personnel in the protected area are advised of the emergency classification by use of the public address system. If a site evacuation is ordered, the evacuation siren is sounded over the public address system in the protected area followed by an evacuation announcement and any special instructions. Non-essential personnel will evacuate immediately upon being notified.
- 2. Emergency personnel not assigned to the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Central Alarm Station, and Secondary Alarm Station, report to the Operations Support Center for accountability. Non-emergency personnel are accounted for as they exit the protected area through Security Island. GGNS Security is responsible for performing an accountability survey of personnel in the protected area. It is anticipated that accountability and identification of missing persons can 6-6 Revision 70 11/13
GG FSAR be accomplished in approximately 30 minutes. This information is reported to the Emergency Plant Manager.
- 3. GGNS employees, contract personnel and visitors outside of the Protected Area, but within the Emergency Preparedness Owner Controlled Area are notified promptly of a site evacuation and given instructions by public address systems, telephone or security personnel equipped with portable PA systems. Non-essential personnel will evacuate immediately upon being notified. GGNS Security checks to ensure that all persons located in the Emergency Preparedness Owner Controlled Area were notified and evacuated as directed, and report the results to the Emergency Plant Manager. Security will complete the checks as soon as possible but not to exceed 2 hours under most conditions.
- 4. Persons outside the Emergency Preparedness Owner Controlled Area, but in public access areas or passing through the site are notified of an emergency classification by the Alert Notification System activated by local authorities.
- 5. All site personnel are trained on site evacuation routes, escorted by someone who has been trained or receive a map which gives instructions and routes off of the site. Site evacuation instructions and routes are specified in the evacuation announcement. Non-essential personnel are expected to evacuate GGNS property in the same vehicles which were used for initial access.
- 6. Emergency situations, as discussed in this section, include natural events as well as radiological incidents. The procedures to be followed in these evacuations are included in the Emergency Plan Procedures. Provisions are made for consideration of weather conditions, traffic or radiological impediments to evacuation.
6-7 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR
- b. Offsite Areas The administration of protective actions for persons residing offsite is the responsibility of the States of Mississippi and Louisiana. Mississippi's responsibility is outlined in the "Mississippi Emergency Operations Plan" and Louisiana's responsibility is outlined in the "Louisiana Peacetime Radiological Response Plan." These plansare implemented in addition to the county or parishemergency plans. The county and parishwithin the 10-mile EPZ surrounding the Stationare responsible for developing and submitting emergency plans which are coordinated withthoseof the Statesand Station. GGNS provides protective action recommendations to the state/local civil defense agencies. The minimum standardPAR for a General Emergency is to evacuate the 2 mile radiusand 5 miles downwind, monitor and preparethe remainder of the 10 mile EPZ, and consideration of the use of potassium iodide in accordance with State Plans. (Source: NUREG 0654 FEMA Rep 1, Rev 1, Supplement 3 "Guidance for Protective Action Strategies".) Evacuation will be recommended for 5 - 10 miles inthe down wind sectors, if dose projections or actual field measurements correspond to radiation levels to the public that exceed the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAG's). Sheltering may be recommended instead of evacuation whenappropriate. Recommendations are baseduponemergency classification and projected doseto the public, and are consistent withEPA PAGs and FDA guidance. The Protective Actions Guides are summarized in Table6-1. The methodology normally used for determining appropriate protective action recommendations is described inthe Emergency Plan Procedures. Warning and/oradvising the population-at-risk of an impending emergency is the responsibility of the counties or parishes affected. These counties or parishes are also responsible for the preparation and dissemination of informational material concerning protective actions for the general public. Written messages for emergency dissemination to the public have been prepared by the State of Mississippi withsupporting information provided by GGNS. Theseprepared messages are documented in the Mississippi Emergency Operations Plan, Volume II, Part 3, Radiological Emergency Response Plan, 6-8 Revision 72 11/14
GG FSAR Appendix] to Annex G - Public Information. Figure 2-5 shows the evacuation centers within the 50-mile EPZ. 6.6 Contamination Control Measures A monitoring and decontamination station is established at the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) when directed by the Emergency Director. Emergency Organization personnel perform monitoring and decontamination in accordance with plant procedures. When a site evacuation is ordered, non-essential personnel will be routed, as necessary, to evacuation/decontamination centers established by the state/local governments. Onsite contamination control measures are implemented in Plant Administrative Procedures and other lower level procedures. Plant procedures are designed to meet the requirements of 10CFR20, Appendix B. Contamination control for offsite areas is provided for by the States of Mississippi and Louisiana. Guidelines are provided through the emergency response plans of those two states. 6.7 Aid to Affected Personnel This section of the plan describes measures which are used to provide necessary assistance if individuals are injured and/or radiologically exposed or contaminated. 6.7.1 Emergency Personnel Exposure Although an emergency situation transcends the normal requirements for limiting exposure, there are suggested levels of exposure acceptable in emergencies. Three categories of risk versus benefit must be considered:
- a. Saving of human life and reduction of injury
- b. Protection of health and safety of the public and
- c. Protection of property 6-9 Revision 61 03/09 I
GG FSAR In certain emergency situations, the acceptance of above normal radiation exposure may be warranted. The following are exposure guidelines for individuals inclusive of support personnel and Entergy employees:
- a. Support personnel are restricted to GGNS administrative limits and are equipped with appropriate dosimetry. In situations where it appears that the administrative limits may be exceeded, the individuals are relieved of duties involving additional radiation exposure.

GG FSAR Provisions have been made for 24-hour-per-day capability to determine the doses received by emergency personnel. Specific emergency procedures have been written for the issuance of permanent record dosimetry devices (or systems) and self reading dosimeters to emergency personnel. These procedures also provide instructions on how often to read dosimeters and keeping appropriate dose records. The Emergency Director or Emergency Plant Manager may also authorize the use of radioprotective drugs for thyroid protection. Emergency personnel would take a pre-measured dose of the drug (such as KI tablets). These drugs are made available in the Control Room, Operations Support Center, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, and the RCA entrance. 6.7.2 Decontamination and First Aid Onsite personnel decontamination stations for emergency conditions are fully equipped with decontamination material and portable first aid kits. The primary decontamination center is located on the 133 foot level of the Unit lL Turbine Building in the Radiation Protection Access Control Area. Alternate facilities are the showers in the Maintenance Shop (adjacent to the Administration Building) or EOF. The decontamination centers have provisions for disrobing, collecting contaminated clothing, showering of contaminated personnel, and clean clothing. All personnel exiting from the controlled access area at Grand Gulf are monitored for contamination. The instruments used for this monitoring procedure are portal monitors and portable contamination survey instruments. In situations when the portal monitors and/or the portable contamination survey instruments detect contamination, preventive measures must be initiated to mitigate the possibility of the spread of contamination. 6 -11 Revision 65 04/11
GG FSAR The most effective measure for the decontamination of the hands and other parts of the body is thorough washing of the affected areas. A member of the Health Physics Section is to supervise any decontamination effort. First Aid Courses are conducted for selected members of the Emergency Organization. Personnel trained in first aid/CPR are available on each shin to administer first aid as required. 6.7.3 tvtedical Transportation Transportation of injured persons from GGNS to the medical facility is normally provided by regional ambulance service in accordance with Letter(s) of Agreement (See Appendix D). In the event that these services are unavailable, provisions are in place to transport injured persons in company owned or private vehicles. Ambulance service can be requested by the local hospitals or GGNS. The ambulance maintains radio communications with the hospital while in transit. GGNS uses telephone communication to contact the hospital, thereby maintaining indirect communications with the ambulance. 6.7.4 Medical Treatment In the event of a serious accident at Grand Gulf requiring medical treatment, Claiborne County Medical Center has agreed to provide the required assistance. The hospital is equipped to handle contaminated injuries as well as injuries not related to contamination or over exposure. The River Region Medical Center and the Claiborne County Medical Center have emergency plans for the decontamination and treatment of the radioactively contaminated patient. Appendix B includes a list of typical equipment located at the hospitals. 6 -1.2 Revision 75 3/17
GG FSAR River Region Medical Center and The Ochsner Clinic provide backup medical services if the Claiborne County Medical Center is unable to provide the required services. Letters of Agreement (Appendix D) have been obtained to document these arrangements. 6 -13 Revision 75 3/17

GG FSAR 7.3.3 Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) The EOF (Figures 7-4 and 7-5) provides a location from which evaluation and coordination of all licensee activities related to an emergency is carried out. The EOF has the capability to obtain and display plant data and radiological information. The facility provides classification, accident assessment, notification, dose assessment, information to offsite groups, assesses the impact of the emergency offsite and provides the necessary support to assist the Emergency Organization. The location for the EOF is in the Energy Services Center approximately 0.6 miles from the GGNS site. Figure 7-6 indicates the location of the EOF in relation to the plant. The EOF has a protection factor of 50 and its own ventilation system. The EOF contains the key technical personnel of the Emergency Organization. Space and communications are provided for federal, State, and local representatives at the EOF. The EOF provides a base of operation for Offsite Monitoring Teams and is the central point for the receipt of field monitoring data. The EOF may be activated at any time, and shall be activated at an Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency declaration. Once activated, the EOF shall become operational as soon as possible (without delay) after declaration of any of these emergency classifications. When facility staffing can be accomplished with onsite personnel, it is the goal to become operational within 45 minutes. Otherwise offsite personnel shall provide shift augmentation in 75 minutes and be fully operational in 90 minutes. 7.3.4 Backup Emergency Operations Facility (BEOF) The BEOF (Figure 7-7) is located at the Entergy Mississippi Baxter Wilson Steam Electric Station in Vicksburg, MS. In the unlikely event that the EOF had to be evacuated, the key EOF 7-4 Revision 75 3/17,
GG FSAR personnel evacuate the area and relocate to the BEOF in accordance with Emergency Plan Procedure EN-EP-609. The BEOF is seventeen miles from the reactor. It is outside the ten mile EPZ but close enough to that responders can travel quickly to the site when it is deemed accessible by appropriate authorities. The Contro I Room is notified of the situation and certain emergency response functions are transferred to the Control Room upon deactivation of the EOF. Once activated, the BEOF establishes communications with the Contro I Room. The BEOF contains the following: o Communications equipment that allows contacting the other Emergency Response Facilities, Federal, State and local officials as well as the capability of making Emergency Notifications. o Equipment necessary to perform radiological assessment and communicate with field monitoring teams. o Capability to access plant drawings and procedures and computer links to the site. o Capability to access plant data systems and perform event classification. 7.3.5 Media Centers GGNS utilizes the Joint Information Center (Jl'C) in Pearl, Mississippi as an information center during an emergency. The Joint Information Center (Figure 7-9) is the principle location for disseminating information about the emergency, arranges for timely exchange of information among designated GGNS, state, local, and federal spokespersons, media monitoring activities, responding to public and media inquires during emergencies, and performing rumor control function. Press conferences are held periodically, and equipment and facilities are available to support timely communication and information dissemination concerning plant conditions. The Joint Information Center is activated at an Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency. 7-5 Revision 72 11/14

The center has equipment and supplies to support state emergency operations activities including communications links with other emergency centers. 7.5 Communications Systems The communications systems are designed to ensure the reliable, timely flow of information and action directives between all parties having jurisdiction and a role to play in the mitigation of emergencies at GGNS. Reliability is provided via (1) extensive redundancy, (2) dedicated communication equipment to preclude delays due to system overload, and (3) routine use and testing of many of the systems, which lowers the probability of undetected system failures. Timeliness of information flow is achieved by (1) prompt notification, (2) predefmed lines of communications, (3) predefmed emergency action levels and (4) predefmed levels of 7-7 Revision 58 12/06
GG FSAR authority and responsibility. The GGNS communications network is formulated around this basic concept and is designed to channel information directly to the key parties having closely related functions, thus eliminating errors often associated with second hand information. By providing well defined and dedicated communications links, better accident management from physically separate control and support centers can be achieved. Provisions. are made for State representatives to call and verify the authenticity of the accident and obtain additional information. The essential communications links are manned continuously and are periodically tested to assure availability. Figure 7-12 shows the communications interfaces between the onsite and offsite emergency facilities. 7.5.1 Telephone System GGNS maintains telephone communication with the entire Entergy Corporation system via a Company-owned fiber-optic transmission system. Access to this mode of transmission is made, via the plant telephone system. The GGNS plant telephone system also provides communications among the CR, TSC, OSC, EOF, .lIC and public. 7.5.2 Plant Paging System & Sound Powered Phones The plant paging system links together permanent plant structures, including the TSC and OSC, through a network of phone stations and speakers. Sound powered phones are provided in the TSC and OSC to enable direct communication with the Control Room and all areas of the plant containing sound powered outlet boxes. Amplified headsets are provided in high noise areas to ensure adequate communications capability with the Control Room. 7-8 Revision 61 03/09

The basic system consists of 43 sirens located in Claiborne County and Tensas Parish. Institutions located in the 10-mile EPZ are supplied with tone activated receivers which supplement the siren system. Port Gibson/Claiborne County Civil Defense and Tensas Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness are responsible for activating the portion of the system within their respective jurisdictions. In the event of a failure of the Alert Notification System the EPZ population will be notified by route alerting in accordance with state emergency plans. Additional alert notification details are addressed in local and state emergency plans, the GGNS Emergency Public Information publication, and the Alert Notification System Final Report. Figure 7-13 indicates the siren locations for the 1O-mile EPZ.
As discussed in Section 8.7, an effort is made to provide information to the transient population concerning protective measures. The means of notifying the transient population is the Alert Notification System. 7.6 Assessment Facilities 7.6.1 Onsite Systems and Equipment
- a. Control Room Parameters Appropriate parameters indicative of the status of the reactor and various plant systems are displayed in the control room.
7 -12 Revision 75 3/17 i
GG FSAR The safety related control room display instrumentation that can be used to assess the condition of the plant is discussed in GGNS FSAR Section 7.5.
- b. Area Radiation Monitoring System The area radiation monitoring system detects and measures gamma radiation levels at various locations. It also provides audible and visual alarms in areas monitored and in the control room, if gamma radiation exceeds a specified limit.
It provides visual indication in the area monitored and at a control room annunciator if there is a malfunction in any area monitor. The containment area radiation monitors also provide information that can be used to determine the source term of a fission product release in the containment. An Emergency Plan Procedure contains guidance for the conversion of containment area radiation monitor readings in mRJhr or R/hr to offsite exposure. Each area radiation monitoring channel consists of a detector and a local alarm unit at a remote location ~d an indicator and trip unit in the control room. A control room channel is provided with a detector in the control room. The area radiation monitor provided in the control room has no local alarm unit since the control room annunciator system provides alarms to the operators. The following general areas are monitored by the Area Radiation Monitoring System:
- 1. Control Room
- 2. Radwaste building
- 3. Auxiliary building
- 4. Fuel storage and handling area 7 -13 Revision 46 8/01

- 5. Various valve operating stations
- 6. Containment
- 7. Drywell
- 8. Various Sampling rooms
- 9. Turbine building
- 10. Radwaste Solidification Areas
- c. Process and Effluent Radiation Monitoring Systems.
The mam objective of required radiation monitoring systems is to initiate appropriate protective action to limit the potential release of radioactive materials from the primary and secondary containment if predetermined radiation levels are exceeded in major process/effluent streams. An additional objective is to have radiation monitoring systems available during all operating and emergency conditions to provide control room personnel with an indication of the radiation levels in the major process/effluent streams and alarm annunciation if high radiation levels are detected. Certain effluent radiation monitoring systems also provide information that can be used to determine the source term of an unplanned radioactive release. They are used to correlate the activity levels in an effluent stream along with system flow rates to determine release rates in Ci/sec. Using the determined release rates and the appropriate meteorological stability class, radiation dose projections can be estimated for various distances from the site. Emergency Plan Procedures include guidance for the determination of release rates and dose projections when the effluent monitors are off scale or inoperable. 7 -14 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR The radiation monitoring systems (RMS) provided to meet these objectives are:
- 1. Main Steam Line RMS
- 2. Containment and Drywell Ventilation Exhaust RMS
- 3. Auxiliary Building Fuel Handling Area Ventilation Exhaust RMS
- 4. Auxiliary Building Fuel Handling Area Pool Sweep Exhaust RMS
- 5. Turbine Building Ventilation Exhaust RMS
- 6. Radwaste Building Ventilation Exhaust RMS

- d. Fire Protection The fire protection system consists of an outside yard loop with three fire pumps and one jockey fire pump, hydrants, sprinkler systems, deluge CO 2 systems, Halon systems, standpipe hose stations, portable fire extinguishers, ionization smoke detectors, heat sensors, alarm systems, fire barriers, two fire water storage tanks and associated piping, valves and instrumentation.
Three redundant 50 percent capacity pumps (1 electric and 2 diesel driven) and closed-loop piping ensure delivery of extinguishing water with one pump and one leg of the piping loop out of service. Fire and smoke detection systems are provided for the switchgear areas, battery rooms, control room, cable penetration areas, and other areas, based on the results of the fire hazards analysis included in the FSAR. In addition, a GGNS-owned fire truck is maintained onsite. The fire truck may be taken offsite for various reasons (i.e. training, vehicle maintenance, etc.), 7 -15 Revision 59 06/07
GG FSAR
- e. Geophysical Monitoring I. Seismic Monitoring Activation of any accelerometer causes an audible and visual ann-unciation in the control room to alert the plant operator that an earthquake has occurred. This annunciation is set to occur at 0.0 1 g vertical acceleration in the Horizontal or Vertical directions as detected at the Containment Basemat or Drywell, and may include other areas as determined by system requirements. The accelerometers trigger the initiation of the strong-motion accelerometers recording system at horizontal or vertical acceleration levels slightly higher than the expected background level, including induced vibrations from sources such as traffic, elevators, people, and machinery.
System equipment includes:
- a. Six triaxial time/history strong-motion accelerometers (SMA)
- b. Seven triaxial peak-recording accelerographs
- c. Recording and playback equipment A cabinet located in the Control Room houses the recording, and calibration unit that is used in conjunction with the SMA sensors to produce a playback record of the earthquake. It also contains the audible and visual annunciators wired to display initiation of the time/history recorder, and the power supply components for all equipment contained within the cabinet and in the field. Equipment is installed in the cabinet for data analysis.
Should the GGNS seismic monitoring system fail, backup seismic information would be obtained through a coordinated effort with the 7 -16 Revision 73 12/14
GG FSAR Mississippi Bureau of Geology. That agency receives seisrmc information from Memphis, Tennessee, Panola County, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama. The Mississippi Bureau of Geology would be requested to obtain real-time seismic information and to relay this information by telephone to GGNS. Although these seismic monitoring stations are located some distance from GGNS, because of the sophistication of the detection equipment, they should be able to keep the GGNS site informed of any seismic activity within the state of Mississippi.
- 2. Meteorological Monitors The onsite meteorological tower, located approximately 5,300 feet northwest of the control building is 162 feet high and has the following instruments installed:
Surface Tipping bucket rain gauge Delta Temperature translator (utilizes 33 and 162 foot temperature sensors) 33 feet Wind speed sensor Wind direction sensor Temperature sensor Relative Humidity 162 feet Wind speed sensor Wind direction sensor Temperature sensor The meteorological system utilizes local digital storage modules and Plant Data System digital storage. 7 -17 Revision 45 02/01
GG FSAR GGNS also utilizes a back-up meteorological system which provides meteorological information to the control room, if the primary meteorological system fails. The instrumentation on the backup system is listed below: 33 feet Wind speed sensor Wind direction sensor Temperature Sensor In the unlikely event that both the primary and backup meteorological systems were inoperable, the tertiary means of obtaining wind speed and direction data would be through the National Weather Service or the U.S. Corps of Engineers, Waterways Experiment Station. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is utilized to power the meteorological system instrumentation and components to ensure that a 90% data recovery is achieved. All components of the UPSlBack- up Power Supply are located at the Meteorological Station.
- f. Hydrological Monitors A groundwater level monitoring program is established to provide data on the seasonal fluctuations of the regional groundwater operations to define the zone of depression caused by plant pumping operations and to monitor the level of the perched groundwater table at the plant site. In the event that GGNS personnel were unable to conduct the hydrological sampling program, this information could be supplied by the U.S. Geological Survey, which monitors groundwater levels in the town of Port Gibson.

- g. In-Plant AirbQrne Iodine MonitQring In reference to Section 7.6.3.1 of GGNS Technical Requirements Manual, a program is established which ensures the capability to accurately determine the airborne iodine concentration in vital areas under accident conditions.
This program includes the following:
- 1. Training of personnel
- 2. Procedures for Monitoring, and
- 3. Provisions for maintenance of sampling and analysis equipment.
7.6.2 Offsite MQnitoring Equipment and Facilities GGNS has been conducting and continues to conduct an environmental radiological monitoring program for the Station. The ongoing objectives of the program are:
- a. To determine whether any statistically significant increase occurs in the concentration of radionuclides in critical pathways.
- b. TQ detect any buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment.
- c. To detect any change in ambient gamma radiation levels.
- d. TQ verify that radioactive releases are within allowable limits and that plant operations have no detrimental effect on the health and safety of the public or on the environment.
- e. To fulfill the radiological environmental surveillance requirements of the GGNS Technical Specifications.
The monitoring program provides the following: (1) the gathering of data on environmental radiation levels and the Station's degree of influence on these levels; (2) checks for specific radioisotopes to detect their introduction into the surroundings; (3) 7 - 19 Revision 28 3/9S
GG FSAR a background for a continually developing program of radiological assessment. Ambient radiation is measured by dosimeters of legal record (DLR). These DLRs are installed at various onsite and offsite locations. The locations have been selected based on available meteorological data, prevailing wind direction and population concentration. During normal operating conditions, quarterly measurements of the environmental dose rates are made. During an emergency, incremental and time integrated dose measurements can be made by selective and periodic changing of DLRs. The locations of existing environmental monitoring stations are given in the GGNS Technical Requirements Manual. Environmental monitoring stations have been located to ensure compliance with the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Positions for the Environmental Radiological Surveillance Program. 7.6.3 Radiological Assessment Laboratories The GGNS Chemistry Department has isotopic analysis capability available for onsite I radiological analysis. The Mississippi State Department of Health Laboratory, located in Jackson, MS, would be setup to receive samples in the event of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. They could be expected to be ready within 1 to 2 hours of notification. This laboratory has the capability to measure beta-gamma emitters, including radioiodine in environmental samples (soil, vegetation, water, and air). Data from this laboratory may be provided to each agency's representative in the Emergency Operations Facility by radio communications established by each agency or by normal phone communications with the Mississippi State Department of Health or Louisiana Department of Environmental Qual ity. Additional mobile laboratories with similar capabilities are available from DOE, Region III, Oak Ridge, TN (estimated response time 12 hours) and EPA, Region IV, Montgomery, AL (estimated response time 9 hours). 7 - 20 Revision 65 04/11
GG FSAR 7.6.4 Post-Accident Sampling Capability Through the use of installed emergency sampling equipment, measurements and analysis can be performed onsite to assess the magnitude of the radiological hazards associated with an emergency condition. Specifically, a system is installed to obtain samples from the following locations:
- a. RHRA and B
- b. Containment Atmosphere
- c. Suppression Pool The offsite radiation monitoring teams have the capability to determine the extent of the radiological hazard in the environment. Environmental air samplers and portable equipment are available for the following assessment in the field within the I O-mile EPZ:
- a. Beta-gamma radiation from the plume and/or ground contamination.
- b. Iodine concentration and assessment of inhalation and thyroid dose by using air samplers with iodine specific cartridges and portable and fixed analyzers. The technique to be used to determine radioiodine concentrations in a radioactive plume is described in Emergency Plan Procedures. This technique allows the determination of radioiodine concentrations in the field with a minimum 7
detectable activity of I x 10- uCilcc in the presence of interfering noble gases and background radiation.
- c. Water sampling for later analysis to assess contamination due to liquid release pathways can also be done by offsite monitoring teams.
The offsite monitoring teams dispatched from GGNS consist of2 members. Transportation IS available using designated GGNS vehicles, with normal deployment 7 - 21 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR expected to be within approximately 90 minutes following notification. Emergency Plan Procedures have been established that relate the various measured parameters to integrated doses. Provisions have been made for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates and for comparing these estimates with the protective action guides. 7.7 Protective Facilities Emergency situations may arise, whether it be man-made or natural causes, which require that protective action be initiated to assure the safety of personnel. Predetermined procedures to be initiated in the event of a fire, tornado, or earthquake are contained within the plant operating procedures. An important consideration in the protection of the Grand Gulf personnel is for the immediate removal of those personnel not essential for the control of the plant. Security Personnel would be examples of those required to remain onsite. In the event of an emergency situation, the appropriate notification is made. Upon notification, all personnel onsite should either assume their prearranged emergency responsibilities or should follow instructions given over the PA system. This permits accountability of personnel before leaving the site or being assigned to an emergency team. 7.8 First Aid and Medical Facilities First aid equipment and facilities at Grand Gulf are available to handle a wide range of emergency situations from minor first aid to transporting a seriously injured individual to an offsite medical facility. Readily available first aid is provided by Plant Staff personnel that are first aid trained. First aid kits contaiiring items typically needed to care for minor injuries are located in the following areas:
- a. Control Room,
- b. Maintenance Shop 7 - 22 Revision 51 02/04
GG FSAR
- c. EOF A first aid treatment room is located in the Health Physics Access Control Area on the 93 foot level of the Control Building and is equipped with normal industrial first aid supplies.
7.9 Rescue and Damage Control Equipment Rescue and damage control equipment consists of normal and special purpose tools and devices used in the course of maintenance and operational functions throughout GGNS. Personnel who are assigned to use rescue and damage control equipment in an emergency are familiar with the locations and use of specific equipment. To ensure that adequate supplies are available for usage during plant emergency conditions, rescue and damage control equipment is located in the Maintenance Shop. Typical supplies contained in these cabinets are listed in Appendix B. Bulky items, such as hydraulic jacks, cutting and burning rigs, and portable generators, are not stored .in emergency facilities and may be obtained from maintenance control areas, the Warehouse, or Maintenance Shop. The GGNS Maintenance and Operations Sections are responsible for inventories of tools, equipment, and vehicles assigned to their respective section. As such, during work days, Supervisors in each section may authorize the use of tools, equipment, and vehicles as the situation demands. Furthermore, the Shift Manager has immediate access to shops, tool cribs, lockers, vehicles, rescue and damage control equipment, and other material during backshifts and weekends. 7.10 Personal Protective Equipment To protect personnel remaining onsite and/or arriving onsite during the emergency, quantities of personal protective equipment, including anti-contamination clothing and individual respiratory equipment are maintained on site. Protective clothing and individual respirators/ 7 - 23 Revision 43 10/00

- 8. Decontamination requirements
- 9. Communications The initial reentry into the plant areas encompasses the following goals (in order of priority):
- a. Determination of the initial required recovery operations (application of clearance tags, etc.)
- b. Visual observation of hazards or potential hazards associated with the recovery operations
- c. Conduct comprehensive radiation surveillance of plant facilities and define radiological problem areas
- d. Isolate and post areas in the plant with radiological warning signs, and rope barriers, as appropriate.
9.3 Recovery The nature and extent of the emergency determines what recovery operations are required and the extent of the recovery organization that must be formed. A recovery plan must be flexible enough to adapt to the existing conditions. It is not possible to anticipate in advance all of the conditions that may be encountered as a result of the emergency. General principles are addressed in this section that serves as a guide for developing a flexible plan of action. I t is the responsibility of the Emergency Director to determine when the Recovery Phase of the emergency can be initiated. The following criteria must be met before recovery operations can begin:
- a. The plant must be in a controlled and stable condition
- b. The release of radioactive material to the environment must be controlled and must 9-2 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR be below any of the Emergency Action Level criteria
- c. The radiation levels must be stable or decreasing in all plant areas.
The Emergency Director discusses existing offsite conditions with appropriate State officials prior to terminating a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency classification. Recovery may be completed by the Emergency Organization before the termination of the emergency. If recovery has not been accomplished by the termination of the emergency, a recovery organization is activated as described in Section 5.5. Its function is to safely and effectively place the plant back in a safe operating condition. Appropriate GGNS and outside assistance is mobilized to accomplish the objective. The Emergency Director is responsible for transmitting the notification that the incident is terminated and reentry/recovery may begin to those agencies connected to the GGNS Operational Hot Line (see Section 7.5.3.a.l) The initial objectives of the recovery program are the determination of the damage to equipment, the installation of shielding, rope barriers and signs, the application of clearance tags, decontamination, and cleanup as required to place the plant in an acceptable long term condition. Other recovery operations are not initiated until the area affected by the emergency has been defined. Particular attention is directed toward isolating and tagging out components and systems as required to control or minimize hazards. A systematic investigation is conducted to determine the equipment that has been damaged and the extent of the damage. Once the initial objectives are completed, a detai led investigation of the accident causes and consequences, both to the plant and to the environment, is conducted. Determinations are made as to the repair work required to perform necessary modifications to plant equipment and/or operating procedures. Repair work and approved modifications are carried out as authorized. Test programs to confirm fitness for return to services are to be developed and executed. 9-3 Revision 61 03/09
GG FSAR Recovery operations are conducted in compliance with normal operational radiation exposure levels specified in 10CFR20. When possible, significant releases of radiation during recovery is planned, controlled, evaluated iIi advance for radiological impact, and appropriate offsite organizations and agencies informed of the scheduled release and estimated impact. Emergency Plan Procedures provide methods of periodically estimating total population exposure. 9-4 Revision 43 10/00

This response constitutes our agreement to provide this service upon your request. The agreement remains in effect until terminated in writing by' either party. We wish to remind you that our REAC/TS facilities in the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORJSE) are government controlled and operated by the Oak Ridge Associated Universities under contract with DOl::. Therefore, REAC/TS is prohibited from competing with commercial firms that can provide radiological emergency services. Only if the magnitude or uniqueness of a radiological emergency exceeds your in-house and commercially available capabilities would REAC/fS be authorized to provide back-up services. Since these facilities are governmern controlled, no fee or retainer is required to assure the availability of back-up services by REAC/fS. I Iowever, ifyou utilize the services of REACrrS, we should expect to recover those costs that could reasonably be related to handling such an incident, including all charges billed to 1)()E or ORISE by hospitals and physicians. Information concerning the REAcrrS facilities, starr services available, and procedures for seeking IU~i\C/'rs assistance can be obtained by direct contact with the Rl::AC/TS Director, 1.)1'.

GG FSAR EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
This report describes the analyses undertaken and the results obtained by a study to develop Evaluation time Estimates (ETE) for the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) located in Claiborne County, Mississippi. ETE are part of the required planning basis and provide Entergy and State and local governments with site-specific information needed for Protective Action decision-making. In the performance of this effort, guidance is provided by documents published by Federal Governmental agencies. Most important of these are:
- Criteria for Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies, NUREG/CR-7002, November 2011.
- Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, November 1980.
- Development of Evacuation Time Estimates for Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG/CR-6863, January 2005.
- 10CFR50, Appendix E - "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities" Overview of Project Activities This project began in April, 2012 and extended over a period of six months. The major activities performed are briefly described in chronological sequence:
- Attended "kick-off' meetings with Entergy personnel, and emergency management personnel representing state and local governments.
- Accessed U.S. Census Bureau data files for the year 2010. Studied Geographical Information Systems (GIS) maps of the area in the vicinity of the GGNS, then conducted a detailed field survey of the highway network
- Synthesized this information to create an analysis network representing the highway system topology and capacities within the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), plus a Shadow region covering the region between the EPZ boundary and approximately 15 miles radially from the plant
- Designed and sponsored a telephone survey of residents within the EPZ to gather focused data needed for this ETE study that were not contained within the census database. The survey instrument was reviewed and modified by the licensee and offsite response organization (ORO) personnel prior to the survey
- Data collection forms (provided to the OROs at the kickoff meeting) were returned with data pertaining to employment, transients, and special facilities in each county and parish.

- The traffic demand and trip-generation rates of evacuating vehicles were estimated from the gathered data. The trip generation rates reflected the estimated mobilization time (i.e., the time required by evacuees to prepare for the evaluation trip) computed using the results of the telephone survey of EPZ residents.
- Following Federal guidelines, the EPZ is subdivided into 16 PAS I pAA. These PAS I PAA are then grouped within circular areas or "keyhole" configurations (circles plus radial sectors) that define a total of 41 Evacuation Regions.
- The time-varying external circumstances are represented as Evacuation Scenarios, each described in terms of the following factors: (1) Season (Summer, Winter); (2) Day of Week (Midweek, Weekend); (3) Time of Day (Midday, Evening); and (4) Weather (Good, Rain). One special event scenario involving a football game at Alcorn State University was considered. One roadway impact scenario was considered wherein in a single lane was closed on US 61 northbound for the duration of the evacuation.
- Staged evacuation was considered for those regions wherein the 2-mile radius and sectors downwind to 5 miles were evacuated.
- As per NUREG/CR-7002, the Planning Basis for the calculation of ETE is:
- A rapidly escalating accident at GGNS that quickly assumes the status of General Emergency such that the Advisory to Evacuate is announced in a timely manner following the siren notification, and no early protective actions have been implemented.
- While an unlikely accident scenario, this planning basis will yield ETE, measured as the elapsed time from the Advisory to Evacuate until the stated percentage of the population exits the impacted Region, that represent "upper bound" estimates.
This conservative Planning Basis is applicable for all initiating events.
- If the emergency occurs while schools are in session, the ETE study assumes that the children will be evacuated by bus directly to reception centers located outside the EPZ. Parents, relatives, and neighbors are advised to not pick up their children at school prior to the arrival of the buses dispatched for that purpose. The ETE for schoolchildren are calculated separately.
- Evacuees who do not have access to private vehicle will either ride-share with relatives, friends or neighbors, or be evacuated by buses provided as specified in the county evacuation plans.
Those in special facilities will likewise be evacuated with public transit, as needed: bus, van, or ambulance, as required. Separate ETE are calculated for the transit-dependent evacuees for homebound special needs population, and for those evacuated from special facilities. Computation of ETE A total of 492 ETE were computed for the evacuation of the general public. Each ETE quantifies the aggregate evacuation time estimated for the population within one of the 41 Evacuation Regions to evacuate from that Region, under the circumstances defined for one of the 12 Grand Gulf ES-2 KLD Associates, Inc. Evaluation Time Estimates Rev. 1 E- 2 Revision 70 11/13
GG FSAR Evacuation Scenarios (41 x 12 =492). Separate ETE are calculated for transit-dependent evacuees, including schoolchildren for applicable scenarios. Except for Region R03, which is the evacuation of the entire EPZ, only a portion of the people within the EPZ would be advised to evacuate. That is, the Advisory to Evacuate applies only to those people occupying the specified impacted region. It is assumed that 100 percent of the people within the impacted region will evacuate in response to this Advisory. The people occupying the remainder of the EPZ outside the impacted region may be advised to take shelter. The computation of ETE assumes that 20% of the population within the EPZ but outside the impacted region, will elect to "voluntarily" evacuate. In addition, 20% of the population in the Shadow Region will also elect to evacuate. These voluntary evacuees could impede those who are evacuating from within the impacted region. The impedance that could be caused by voluntary evacuees is considered in the computation of ETE for the impacted region. Staged evacuation is considered wherein those people within the 2-mile region evacuate immediately, while those beyond 2 miles, but within the EPZ, shelter-in-place. Once 90% of the 2-mile region is evacuated, those people beyond 2 miles begin to evacuate. As per federal guidance, 20% of people beyond 2 miles will evacuate (non-compliance) even though they are advised to shelter-in-place. The computational procedure is outlined as follows: A link-node representation of the highway network is coded. Each link represents a unidirectional length of highway; each node usually represents an intersection or merge point. The capacity of each link is estimated based on the field survey observations and on established traffic engineering procedures. The evacuation trips are generated at locations called "zonal centroids" located within the EPZ and Shadow Region. The trip generation rates vary over time reflecting the mobilization process, and from one location (centroid) to another depending on population density and on whether a centroid is within, or outside, the impacted area. The evacuation model computes the routing patterns for evacuating vehicles that are compliant with federal guidelines (outbound relative to the location of the plant), then simulate the traffic flow movements over space and time. This simulation process estimates the rate that traffic flow exits the impacted region. The ETE statistics provide the elapsed times for 90 percent and 100 percent, respectively, of the population within the impacted region, to evacuate from within the impacted region. These statistics are presented in tabular and graphical formats. The 90th percentile ETE have been identified as the values that should be considered when making protective action decisions because the 100th percentile ETE are prolonged by those relatively few people who take longer to mobilize. This is referred to as the "evacuation tail" in Section 4.0 of NUREG/CR-7002. The use of a public outreach (information) program to emphasize the need for evacuees to minimize the time needed to prepare to evacuate (secure the home, assemble needed clothes, Grand Gulf ES-3 KLD Associates. Inc. EvaluationTime Estimates Rev. 1 E- 3 Revision 70 11/13
GG FSAR medicines, etc.) should also be considered. Traffic Management This study references the comprehensive traffic management plans provided by Claiborne County, MS and Tensas Parish, LA. Due to the limited traffic congestion within the EPZ, no additional traffic or access control measures have been identified as a result of this study. Selected Resu Its A compilation of selected information is presented on the following pages in the form of Figures and Tables extracted from the body of the report; these are described below. Figure 6-1 displays a map of the GGNS EPZ showing the layout of the 16 PAS / PAA that comprise, in aggregate, the EPZ. Table 3-1 presents the estimates of permanent resident population in each PAS / PAA based on the 2010 Census data. Table 6-1 defines each of the 41 Evacuation Regions in terms oftheir respective groups of PAS / PAA. Table 6-2 lists the Evacuation Scenarios. Tables 7-1 and 7-2 are compilations of ETE. These data are the times needed to clear the indicated regions of 90 and 100 percent of the population occupying these regions, respectively. These computed ETE include consideration of mobilization time and of estimated voluntary evacuations from other regions within the EPZ and from the Shadow Region. Tables 7-3 and 7-4 presents ETE for the 2-mile region for un-staged and staged evacuations for the so" and 100 percentiles, respectively. th Table 8-7 presents ETE for the schoolchildren in good weather. Table 8-10 presents ETE for the transit-dependent population in good weather. Figure H-8 presents an example of an Evacuation Region (Region R08) to be evacuated under the circumstances defined in Table 6-1. Maps of all regions are provided in Appendix H. Conclusions General population ETE were, computed for 492 unique cases - a combination of 41 unique Evacuation Regions and 12 unique Evacuation Scenarios. Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 document these ETE for the 90th and 100th percentiles. These ETE range from 1:25 (hr:min) to 2:30 at the 90th percentile. Inspection of Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 indicates that the ETE for the 100th percentile are significantly longer than those for the 90th percentile (see Figures 7-8 through 7-19). This is due to the fact that the resident mobilization curve has a long "tail"; relatively few evacuees take a long time to mobilize. Inspection of Table 7-3 and Table 7-4 indicates that a staged evacuation provides no benefits to evacuees from within the 2 mile region and unnecessarily delays the evacuation of those beyond 2 miles (compare Regions R02, R04 through R09 with GrandGulf ES-4 KLD Associates. Inc. Evaluation Time Estimates Rev. 1 E-4 Revision 70 11/13
GG FSAR Regions R35 through R41, respectively, in Tables 7-1 and 7-2). See Section 7.6 for additional discussion. Comparison of Scenarios 10 (winter, midweek/weekend, evening) and 11 (winter, weekend, evening) in Table 7-2 indicates that the special event does not materially affect the ETE at the 100 percentile, but increases the ETE at the so" percentile for th regions including PAS / PM 6 by up to 35 minutes. See Section 7.5 for additional discussion. Comparison of Scenarios 1 and 12 in Table 7-1 indicates that the roadway closure-the closure of one lane on US 61 northbound from the boundary of Port Gibson to the EPZ boundary (by the Claiborne County line) - does not have an impact on the so" percentile ETE. See Section 7.5 for additional discussion. Throughout the evacuation the EPZ is free from congestion, with the exception of the exit roadways from the Alcorn State University. The most congested area in the network is SR 522 from the University to US 61 SB. By 2 hours and 20 minutes after the Advisory to Evacuate, traffic is moving at free-flow speed (LOS A) on all roadways within the EPZ (Scenario 6, R03). See Section 7.3 andFiqures 7-3 through 7-7. Separate ETE were computed for schools, medical facilities, transit-dependent persons, homebound special needs persons and correctional facilities. The average single-wave ETE for schools and medical facilities are within a similar range as the general population ETE at the so" percentile; the ETE for transit-dependents, homebound special needs persons and the correctional facility are slightly longer on average. See Section 8. Table 8-5 indicates that there are sufficient transportation resources available to evacuate the public schools in both the county and parish, but not all the transit dependent population within the EPZ in a single wave. There are also not enough ambulances to evacuate the bedridden population in a single wave. The second-wave ETE for ambulances and special needs population does exceed the general population ETE at the so" percentile. See Sections 8.4 and 8.5. th The general population ETE at the 100 percentile closely follows the trip generation time due to a lack of congestion within the EPZ. The so" percentile ETE are less sensitive to truncating the tail of the mobilization time distribution, since the mobilization time of the bulk of evacuees is unchanged. See Table M-1. The general population ETE is insensitive to the voluntary evacuation of vehicles in the Shadow Region (tripling the shadow evacuation percentage does not increase so" or 100th percentile ETE). See Table M-2. Population changes of 50 and 75% do not result in ETE changes which meet the criteria for updating ETE between decennial Censuses. A population increase of 160% is needed to increase the so" percentile ETE by 30 minutes. See Section M.3. Grand Gulf ES-5 KLD Associates, Inc. EvaluationTime Estimates Rev. 1 E- 5 Revision 70 11/13
