S. NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 Final, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels, February 2008, ADAMS Accession Number ML080450149 1.2 Purpose of HNP Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures The purpose of the HNP Emergency Plan (E-Plan) and Implementing Procedures (Plant Emergency Procedures) is to assure that the state of on-site and off-site emergency preparedness provides reasonable assurance that adequate corrective and protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency at the plant. The HNP E-Plan and Implementing Procedures outline the Emergency Preparedness Program which has the following objectives:
A. Protection of plant personnel and the general public.
B. Prevention or mitigation of property damage.
C. Effective coordination of emergency activities among all organizations having a response role.
D. Early warning and clear instructions to the population-at-risk in the event of a serious radiological emergency.
E. Continued assessment of actual or potential consequences both on site and off site.
F. Effective and timely implementation of emergency measures.
G. Continued maintenance of an adequate state of emergency preparedness.
The HNP Emergency Preparedness Controlled Documents are contained in the HNP Plant Operating Manual (POM) and consist of the following parts:
- Volume 1, Part 2, Emergency Plan (PLP-201)
" Volume 2, Part 5, Plant Emergency Procedures (PEP) and EP-EAL
- Volume 2, Part 10, Emergency Program Maintenance (EPM)
The Emergency Phone List, EPL-001, is an HNP document controlled outside the POM.
A list of documents which implement and maintain this plan can be found in Annex E.

1.3 Responsibility for Plan Development and Review
. [7.0.U, Recommendation 5g]
Responsibility for the HNP Emergency Plan development, review, and periodic update is assigned to the Supervisor - Emergency Preparedness who serves as the HNP Emergency Planning Coordinator.
Procedures are in place to ensure changes to the Emergency Preparedness Program are evaluated to determine whether the changes do or do not reduce the effectiveness of the plan and the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E. Changes which do result in an evaluated reduction in program effectiveness will not be implemented without prior NRC approval.
1.4 Emergency Classes Off-normal plant conditions are classified according to four emergency classes which in order of increasing severity are Unusual Event; Alert; Site Area Emergency; and General Emergency. The emergency classes are defined in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, Emergency Preparedness and Response Actions for Security-Based Events, as follows:
1.4.1 Unusual Event 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. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Unusual Event is equivalent to the NRC designated class "Notification of Unusual Events."
- 1.4.2 Alert 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
1.4.3 Site Area Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
1.4.4 General Emergency 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 security events that result 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.
. Events that could lead to any of these emergency classifications are described in Section 4.0, "Emergency Measures and Operations."
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 8 of 127
1.5 Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs)
Severe Accident Management Guidelines are put into use when plant conditions are beyond design basis. The primary goal is to protect fission product barriers and mitigate any ongoing fission product releases, with secondary goals to mitigate severe accident phenomena and return the plant to a stable condition. The implementation of SAMGs invokes the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and (y).
1.6 Plant Site Description The Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP) site is located near New Hill, NC in the extreme southwest corner of Wake County, North Carolina, approximately 22 miles southwest of Raleigh, which is the largest population center, and approximately 22 miles northeast of Sanford, North Carolina, in Lee County (See Figures 1.5-1 and 1.5-2). Approximate coordinates of the plant centerline are latitude 350 38' 01" N and longitude 780 57' 23" W. The Harris Nuclear Plant consists of one pressurized water reactor (PWR) of Westinghouse Corporation manufacture, licensed to operate at 2948 megawatts thermal (MWt). The associated net electrical output is approximately 930 megawatts electric (MWe).
The major structures of HNP which contain radioactive materials are the Containment Building, Reactor Auxiliary Building, Fuel Handling Building, and the Waste Processing Building. Figure 1.5-3 shows the principle site buildings.
1.7 Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)
The Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is defined as the area within an approximate 10-mile radius of the HNP and is referred to as the 10-Mile EPZ.
Principal exposure sources from the plume exposure pathway are (a) external exposure to gamma and beta radiation from the plume and from deposited materials and (b) exposure of the internal organs to gamma and beta radiation from inhaled radioactive gases and/or radioactive particulates.
The time of potential exposure can range in length from hours to days.
Figure 1.5-2 shows the Plume Exposure EPZ in relation to the location of HNP. The Plume Exposure EPZ includes portions of the North Carolina counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake. Annex H, attached, shows evacuation routes and local emergency planning zone boundaries in the 10-mile EPZ.
The prevailing winds around the plant are from the southwest.
Page 9 of 127 PLP-20 I PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 9 of 127
1.8 Ingestion Exposure Emergency Planning Zone The Ingestion Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is defined as the area within an approximate 50-mile radius of the HNP and is referred to as the 50-Mile EPZ.
The ingestion exposure sources from the ingestion pathway are contaminated water or food, such as milk or fresh vegetables. The time of potential exposure can range in length from hours to months. The region within a 50-mile radius of the HNP site contains both urban and rural areas with industry, farming, business, education, research, and military interests. Figure 1.5-1 shows the 50-mile Ingestion Exposure EPZ in relation to the location of the Shearon Harris Plant. The Ingestion Exposure EPZ includes the North Carolina counties of Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Cumberland, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Guilford, Harnett, Hoke, Johnston, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Nash, Orange, Person, Randolph, Robeson, Sampson, Vance, Wake, Wayne and Wilson.
1.9 Demographic Information The distribution of resident population in the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone is presented in Table 1.8-1 and Figure 1.8-1. Special facilities within the Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone are depicted in Figure 1.8-2 and Table 1.8-3. The 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone evacuation time estimates are provided in Table 1.8-2.
1.10 Supporting Emergency Plans Emergency Plans which support this Plan are:
A. North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Division of Emergency Management, Department of Crime Control and Public Safety.
B. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NUREG-0728, NRC Incident Response Plan.

2.0 ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES 2.1 General There are requirements for actions in an emergency that go beyond those encountered during routine operations. To meet these additional demands and provide an effective response to the emergency, the HNP Emergency Plan employs an organizational concept that has four features.
A. Whenever the Plan is activated, a single individual is charged with the responsibility for and the authority to direct all actions necessary to respond to the emergency.
B. The primary responsibility of the individual in charge is to assure that all emergency response functions are carried out. Upon activation of the Plan, this individual is freed of all other responsibilities and thus able to focus on managing the emergency response.
C. Specific individuals are assigned the responsibility of carrying out predefined critical actions and emergency measures.
D. There is a mechanism established to provide additional resources as necessary to respond to the emergency, which provides continuity of response on each critical action.
This concept of organization is compatible with and integrated into the normal mode of operation. The shift operating crew is routinely required to correct minor malfunctions of equipment and to diagnose the consequences of radioactivity releases. There are a number of procedures to guide operators in responding to equipment malfunctions and instrument alarms. There are also procedures to maintain effective control over contamination and radiation exposures. Emergency procedures basically involve an extension of these existing plant procedures.
2.2 Emergency Organization [7.0.R, Recommendation 3a]
The emergency response resources available to respond to an emergency consist of the personnel at the plant, at Corporate Headquarters, at other Company nuclear plants, the Harris Energy & Environmental Center and, in the longer term, at other organizations involved in the nuclear industry. Throughout Duke Energy there exists a staff of well-trained and experienced engineers, scientists, and technicians. These personnel represent a pool of technical expertise that can be called upon to provide additional support to the corporate emergency response and recovery organizations, if required. Corporate emergency response personnel do not receive specific training for emergency response and do not take actions which implement this emergency plan.
The plant Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is composed of a broad spectrum of personnel with specialties in operations, maintenance, engineering, radiochemistry, health physics, material control, fire protection, security, and emergency planning. The greatest numbers of personnel with these specialties are available during day shift operations; however, specialists who are needed can be recalled to the site at any time.
Page 21 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 21 of 127
The first line of defense in responding to an emergency lies with the normal on-duty operating shift when the emergency begins. Shift members are assigned defined emergency response roles, as shown in Table 2.2-1 that are to be assumed whenever an emergency is declared. As additional personnel are called in to the plant, a smooth transition occurs since each individual knows ahead of time what their responsibilities will be. A current call list of ERO members is maintained in the Main Control Room and procedures are available to activate the ERO automatically or manually.
The Company is committed to providing staffing to effectively contain any emergency which might occur at its nuclear facilities. Depending on the emergency at hand, personnel with required expertise will be contacted on a priority basis as shown in Table 2.2-1. Minimum staffing requirements for activation of each facility are indicated in Figures 2.2-1 and 2.4-1. Additional personnel will be available to provide communications, on-site and off-site radiological assessment, repair and corrective actions, and technical support within a short period of time. Depending on weather conditions, 30-45 minutes should provide enough time to make the appropriate staff available to augment the plant on-shift organization. The plant ERO will continue to be augmented such that within 60-75 minutes after notification, additional personnel will be added to provide the necessary support. Additional personnel will continue to supplement the on-site ERO as necessary to meet the requirements of this Plan. [RI]
The fully augmented on-site ERO is shown in Figure 2.2-1 and personnel assignments are provided in Table 2.2-1 and/or procedures. The on-site ERO utilizes the basic plant organization structure as the principle guideline in emergency assignments. This philosophy assures whenever possible, that personnel will be performing emergency functions that are similar to their normal operating duties. Each emergency position has a succession of command from assigned, trained alternates.
2.3 Command and Control
[7.0.U, Recommendation 5i]
The position of Site Emergency Coordinator is activated for command and control purposes upon declaration of an emergency. Until relieved by the Emergency Response Manager, the Site Emergency Coordinator is delegated the authority to act on behalf of the Company to manage and direct all emergency operations involving the facility. Upon activation of the Emergency Operations Facility, the Emergency Response Manager assumes responsibility of overall emergency response and performs those requirements for all off-site related activities. The Site Emergency Coordinator maintains overall on-site emergency responsibilities including emergency classification and, after EOF activation, reports to the Emergency Response Manager.
The Shift Manager (SM) on duty at the time the emergency is declared shall initially assume the position of Site Emergency Coordinator from the Main Control Room.
The following conditions for command and control apply:
A. If the Site Emergency Coordinator becomes incapacitated for any reason, a designated alternate shall assume the position of Site Emergency Coordinator.
63 Rev. 63 Page 22 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. Page 22 of 127
B. Once the Technical Support Center is activated the position of Site Emergency Coordinator is transferred from the Main Control Room to a qualified individual in the TSC.
C. The Site Emergency Coordinator, or Emergency Response Manager after the EOF is activated, may not delegate the responsibility for notification of and making recommendations to authorities responsible for off-site measures.
D. The Site Emergency Coordinator may consult with others, but may not delegate the responsibility to determine the appropriate emergency action level for the conditions.
E. The Site Emergency Coordinator is authorized to request Federal and State assistance until the EOF is activated, whereupon such requests are made under the direction of the Emergency Response Manager.
NOTE: If deemed prudent in order to ensure an adequate response to the emergency, the Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR may direct that the TSC and/or EOF assume responsibility for any/all discrete functions prior to reaching full staffing levels or to activate only those functions which the SEC-MCR feels are necessary for an adequate emergency response.
F. The conditions for transfer of designated responsibilities from the Shift Manager (SM) (Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR) to the Site Emergency Coordinator-TSC and the Emergency Response Manager (EOF) are:
- 2) The Site Emergency Coordinator-TSC and the Emergency Response Manager have received a briefing on the status of the emergency.
2.4 Assignment of Responsibilities All emergency response personnel with responsibilities listed in 2.4.1 through 2.4.5 will:
Be trained and qualified to perform the assigned responsibilities as specified in Section 5.2.
Be formally relieved by a qualified alternate trained for duty in the particular position before leaving that position.
- Maintain a record of activities where appropriate.
2.4.1 Main Control Room A. Shift Manager (SM): Until an emergency is declared, the Shift Manager (SM) has the following responsibilities relating to the Emergency Plan:
- 1) Direct the activities of the Operations staff.
- 2) Recognize an off-normal condition as indicated by instrument readings or observation.
Rev. 63 Page 23 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 23 of 127
- 3) Implement any Emergency Operating Procedures.
- 4) Determine when an Emergency Action Level has been met or exceeded, declare an emergency, and assume the position of Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR.
B. Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR: The primary person assigned to the position of Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR during the initial stages of an emergency is the Shift Manager (SM). The assigned alternates are on-shift Licensed Senior Reactor Operators as designated in accordance with operations procedures.
Once the Technical Support Center is activated the responsibilities of Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR are turned over to the Site Emergency Coordinator-TSC and the Emergency Response Manager in accordance with the implementing procedures.
The Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR, shall not delegate the following responsibilities:
- 1) Classification of the emergency.
- 2) Approval of required notifications made to the State/Counties and the NRC.

- Main Control Room (MCR)
- Operations Support Center (OSC)
- Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)
- Joint Information Center (JIC)
The Main Control Room is an emergency response facility that is operational on a day-to-day basis. Initially the emergency actions and in plant response would be directed by the Site Emergency Coordinator from the Main Control Room. Operations personnel would be dispatched from their work area located immediately north of the Main Control Room with assistance from on-shift health physics, maintenance, and security personnel as needed.
The facilities, other than the Main Control Room, are unstaffed or used for other purposes on a day-to-day basis. In the event of an emergency, the TSC, OSC, EOF, and JIC would be activated in accordance with Section 4 of this Plan, "Emergency Measures and Operations."
In addition to the emergency response facilities, provision is made for on-site and off-site geophysical phenomena monitors (meteorological and seismic); radiological monitors; process monitors; and fire and combustion products detectors for use in initiating emergency measures and assessing the emergency. Each of these is described in subsequent paragraphs of this Chapter. Typical emergency supplies available for emergency facilities are indicated in Table 3.1-1.

Provisions are provided for backup, alternate activation of the system.
3.8.5 WebEOC WebEOC is a web-enabled collaborative information management system that provides real-time information sharing to facilitate decision making.
3.9 Assessment Equipment Use of the equipment described in this section during an emergency is detailed in Plant Procedures.
3.9.1 Emergqency Response Facilities Information System (ERFIS) and Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS)
ERFIS receives raw data from sensors in the field and processes the data to provide meaningful information for the user. The ERFIS system consists of the following major parts: Field input multiplexer, ERFIS Local Host Computers (Primary and Backup), Plant Process Network, and ERFIS Display Terminals. ERFIS Display Terminals are located in the Main Control Room, Technical Support Center (TSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), Operation Support Center (OSC), ERFIS Computer Room, and the Administrative and Service Buildings. The TSC, EOF and OSC Display Terminals can be configured to run from the Simulator during drills and exercises.
The field input multiplexer obtains analog, digital, pulse and sequence-of-events inputs from field sensors. The ERFIS Local Host receives these inputs, converts the raw analog inputs to engineering units, and updates the Current Value Table (CVT) at rates of 0.1 to 30 seconds. Processing consists of alarming points that exceed predefined limits, archiving input data, and performing various calculations and reports on a periodic or on-demand basis.
Page 46 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 46 of 127
The ERFIS Local Host Computer contains a copy of the CVT that is updated over shared memory with the ERFIS Local Host. The ERFIS Display Terminals are connected to the Local Hosts via dedicated Ethernet LANs.
There is a Primary and Backup ERFIS Local Host computer. When a failure occurs on a primary system, an automatic failover occurs to the backup system.
The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) is a software subsystem of the ERFIS.
The SPDS consists of a top-level display showing the status of Critical Safety Function Parameters at all times and a general display area for a summary display, graphic display of status trees, or plots of key parameters. A dedicated SPDS display is provided in the Main Control Room and ERFIS display Terminals in any location can display SPDS.
The SPDS will access all available signals and will display information related to:
A. Subcriticality B. Core Cooling C. Heat Sink D. (Reactor Vessel) Integrity E. Containment F. (Reactor Coolant System) Inventory Secondary displays will consist of graphic representations of the above critical safety functions and their status.
Additional detail and design criteria for the SPDS are provided in Item I.D.2 of the FSAR TMI Appendix.
3.9.2 Seismic and Hydrolo-gical Data HNP has two distinct and separate seismic monitoring systems for the site. A seismic monitoring system, described in Section 3.7.4 of the FSAR and PLP-114, is located inside safety-related structures and measures horizontal and vertical acceleration. A second system, consisting of two free field strong motion detectors, is located at points on-site and must be read locally at each location. The recorded analog signal can be put on tape playback in the Main Control Room.
Offsite seismic monitoring information can be obtained from the United States Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.
The design basis flood, probable maximum precipitation, and other improbable, conceivable extremes in hydrologic natural phenomena are well below any design limits for this site. Refer to FSAR Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3.
3.9.3 Radiological Monitoring The Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) is a plant-wide radiation information gathering and control system encompassing the process and effluent monitors and the area and airborne monitors. Radiological monitors are provided for plant systems as described in the FSAR Sections 11.5 and 12.3.4 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 47 of 127
Effluent radiological monitors are provided for:
0 Plant Vent Stacks 0 Turbine Building Drains
- Tank Area Drain Transfer Pumps
- Treated Laundry and Hot Shower Tank Pumps 0 Secondary Waste Sample Tank 0 Main Steam Lines The types, ranges, and locations of monitors are listed in Tables 11.5.2-1, 11.5.2-2 and 12.3.4-1 of the FSAR.
Typical portable radiation monitors and laboratory equipment are described in Section 12.5 of the FSAR.
The locations of the normal off-site and on-site environmental monitoring stations and the location of the TLD monitoring stations are described in the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual. Additional predetermined emergency off-site monitoring locations are contained in environmental monitoring procedures.
The Radiation Monitoring System, (RMS) provides the necessary activity or radiation levels required for determining source terms in dose projection procedures. The RMS is data linked to the ERFIS and radiation monitoring channel values are available in the TSC and EOF via ERFIS. The isotopic mix is based upon the mix discussed in NUREG-1741. Grab samples and on-site or off-site monitoring samples can then be analyzed to determine the true isotopic mix and the results used in the computerized dose projection software.
3.9.4 Normal and Post-Accident Samplingq Systems The Primary Sampling System and the Secondary Sampling System are available to collect routine fluid and gaseous samples as described in FSAR 9.3.2.
The post-accident sampling system is designed to collect and analyze targeted fluid and gaseous samples under accident conditions. The system consists of two major components, the liquid sample system and the remote sample dilution panel, or RSDP.
The RSDP's purpose is to obtain containment atmosphere samples and it relies on the containment hydrogen monitoring system (FSAR 6.2.5) to be in service to provide a pathway for sample collection.
Samples results are one of several methods used to provide information in support of core damage and offsite dose assessment activities.
Page 48 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 48 of 127
3.9.5 Meteorological Instrumentation The plant has a permanent meteorological monitoring station located within the exclusion area boundary for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and differential temperature for use in making off-site dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the Main Control Room, the TSC, and the EOF by means of a computer. Additional information on the on-site meteorological monitoring system can be found in Section 2.3.3 of the FSAR.
Duke Energy has the capability to access the National Weather Service on a 24-hour-per-day basis to provide backup should the on-site system fail. This backup source of meteorological data is the closest location which can provide reliable representative meteorological information.
Contracted weather services may be contacted during severe weather periods. They analyze national and local weather in order to provide localized weather forecasts for the System or for the HNP area as appropriate. The meteorologists can provide forecasts and current data reflecting conditions corresponding to their evaluation of weather data received from the National Weather Service and other sources. The NRC and State agencies may contact the weather service for appropriately formatted information and check meteorology data (current and forecasted) for the HNP area.
In the event that the on-site meteorological tower or monitoring instrumentation becomes inoperative and the meteorologists cannot be contacted, meteorological data may be obtained directly from the National Weather Service in Raleigh, North Carolina.
3.9.6 Field Monitoring Equipment Field monitoring equipment will have at least the capability to detect and measure radioiodine in the vicinity of the plant site as low as 1 x 10-7 gCi/cm 3 . An individual exposed to this concentration for a period of one hour would receive an exposure of about 0.2 Rem or less, a value well below Protective Action Guideline (PAG) levels (See Section 4). A standard air sampler can collect about 0.03 jgCi of 1-131 in 10 minutes at a concentration of 1 x 10-7 JCi/cm3 , which can easily be measured by hand survey meters that utilize probes such as the HP-21 0. This is a simple test that can serve as an initial check of projected releases based on plant data and can confirm that significant quantities of elemental iodine have been released (the chemical form that would pose a health hazard). More detailed measurements (such as, Sodium Iodide scintillation counters) can be brought into service to provide the longer term higher capabilities to detect and measure very low levels of contamination in the environment, as would be planned for subsequent radiation monitoring efforts.
3.9.7 Laboratory Facilities Support of the on-site radiation monitoring and analysis effort is provided by HNP's chemistry and counting room facility. This laboratory is the central point for receipt and analysis of in-plant samples and includes equipment for chemical and radioactive analyses. Section 12.5 of the FSAR provides information on laboratory facilities.
Additional facilities for counting and analyzing HNP samples can be provided by other Duke Energy Nuclear Plants. These laboratories can act as backup facilities in the event that the plant's counting room and laboratory become unusable during an emergency.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 49 of 127
Support of the off-site environmental radiation monitoring and analysis effort is provided by the N.C. Radiation Protection Section's laboratory facility, both mobile and fixed, and the McGuire Island EnRad Laboratories. The State's laboratories are the central point for receipt and analysis of off-site samples when HNP is acting as a support agency to the State for ingestion pathway functions. Each lab includes equipment for chemical analyses and for analysis of radioactivity.

4.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES AND OPERATIONS Execution of the HNP Emergency Plan involves a variety of functions including emergency classification, notification, activation, assessment, protective response actions, and recovery. Recovery is discussed in Section 6 of this Plan.
State and local governments and other agencies provide support in implementing the emergency measures in this section as shown in Table 4.0-1 and Annex G.
4.1 Emergency Classification The four classes of emergency are Unusual Event (equivalent to NRC Notification of Unusual Event), Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The operating staff is provided formal training to recognize off-normal plant conditions and categorize them within the parameters of the four emergency classes.
Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the HNP Emergency Plan.
NUREG-0654, Appendix 1, originally provided the basis for the HNP Emergency Action Level network.
In 1992, the NRC endorsed NUMARC/NESP-007 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" as an alternative to NUREG-0654 EAL guidance.
NEI 99-01 (NUMARC/NESP-007) Revision 4 was subsequently issued for industry implementation. Enhancements over earlier revisions included:
" Consolidating the system malfunction initiating conditions and example emergency action levels which address conditions that may be postulated to occur during plant shutdown conditions.
- Initiating conditions and example emergency action levels that fully address conditions that may be postulated to occur at permanently Defueled Stations and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSls).
" Simplifying the fission product barrier EAL threshold for a Site Area Emergency.
Subsequently, Revision 5 of NEI 99-01 Final (February 2008) has been issued which incorporates resolutions to numerous implementation issues including the NRC EAL FAQs. The current HNP Emergency Plan EAL scheme is based on NEI 99-01 Revision 5.
Many of the EALs derived from the NEI 99-01 methodology are fission product barrier (FPBs) based. That is, the conditions that define the EALs are based upon loss or potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials; "potential loss" infers an increased probability of barrier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier.
Rev. 63 Page 52 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 52 of 127
The primary fission product barriers are:
A. Reactor Fuel Clad (FC): The Fuel Clad barrier consists of the zircalloy or stainless steel fuel bundle tubes that contain the fuel pellets.
B. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves.
C. Containment (CNMT): The Containment Barrier includes the containment building and connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves.
This barrier also includes the main steam, feedwater, and blowdown line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve.
In addition to looking at the status of fission product barriers, the Emergency Action Levels include the NEI 99-01 emergency action level events that are external to the plant, i.e,, natural or man-made disaster phenomena, or are not directly attributable to the condition of the reactor, i.e., shutdown systems, fire, dose projections. These events based on Emergency Action Levels (EAL) are direct precursors to loss or jeopardy of the FPBs.
HNP decision-makers responsible for implementation of PEP-1 10, Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations, may use EP-EAL, Emergency Action Levels as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation. HNP shall establish and maintain 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 following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.
Where possible, the EALs have been made consistent with and utilize the conditions defined in the HNP Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs), Functional Restoration Procedures (FRPs), and Flow Path Procedures. Although some of the EALs are based on conditions defined in the EOPs, classification of emergencies using these EALs is not dependent upon EOP entry or execution. The EALs can be utilized independently or in conjunction with the EOPs.
The Site Emergency Coordinator (or the Shift Manager (SM) when no emergency has been declared) will declare any one of the four emergency classes where EALs have been exceeded, or in their judgment, the status of the plant warrants such a declaration.
4.2 Notification A. The warning message form to the State and Counties is contained in PEP-310 and provides information required by NUREG-0654, II.E.3 and 4. The form is approved by the Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR or Emergency Response Manager after EOF activation and provided to the appropriate Emergency Communicator (EC-Control Room or EC-State/County) as a message text.
Rev. 63 Page 53 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 53 of 127
B. The Emergency Communicator will use the electronic Emergency Notification Form (ENF) on WebEOC, hard copy ENF contained in PEP-310, or the Selective Signaling System or Duke Emergency Management Network (DEMNET) phone to simultaneously notify the 24-hour-per-day, staffed, State Warning Point, State EOC and County Warning Points with the notification message. Emergency Operations Centers will be notified upon activation at the State and Counties in lieu of the Warning Points. This message will be initiated to all Counties and the State within 15 minutes for all emergency classifications.
C. The North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of the Harris Nuclear Power Plant describes procedures for State and Local officials to make a public notification decision promptly (within about 15 minutes) on being informed by the plant of an emergency.
D. Event notifications to the NRC will be made immediately after notifying state and counties and no later than 60 minutes after the time of declaration using a Reactor Plant Event Notification worksheet or other notification message approved by the SEC-MCR/ERM.
E. Plant personnel designated on the Emergency Response Organization are notified of an emergency condition using a computer-based, automated ERO Notification System. These personnel are requested to be available on site to respond as directed by the Site Emergency Coordinator. During a Security Threat alternate assembly areas may be used to protect the responding ERO.
F. Personnel on site are notified by the Main Control Room using a plant Public-Address System announcement that an emergency has been declared and what actions should be taken.
G. Corporate personnel on the Emergency Response Organization will be notified of an emergency at HNP in accordance with plant emergency procedures.
H. The off-site agencies that will be notified of an emergency condition at HNP are shown in Tables 4.2-1 through 4.2-4.
- 1. Notifications to off-site agencies shall include a means of verification or authentication such as the use of dedicated communications networks, verification code words, or providing callback verification phone numbers.
4.3 Activation [7.0.R, Recommendation 3d]
A. Facilities are to be activated for each emergency class in accordance with Tables 4.2-1 through 4.2-4. The facilities can be declared activated when minimum staffing levels (as specified in the implementing procedures) have been met.
[7.0.R, Recommendation 3a]
B. The Communications Director will verify the readiness and operability of emergency facilities in the Technical Support Center (TSC).
C. The Administrative and Logistics Manager will verify the readiness and operability of the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
D. The Emergency Repair Director will verify the readiness of the Operations Support Center.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 54 of 127
E. The Company Spokesperson will verify the readiness of the Joint Information Center.
F. Security measures will be established for the Emergency Operations Facility upon its activation.
G. Personnel in the Emergency Response Organization will report to their assigned locations in the emergency response facilities (ERFs).
H. An alternate ingress/egress route may be established based on plume direction to limit exposure to ERO personnel entering and leaving the site.
4.4 Assessment Actions 4.4.1 Evaluation of Plant Conditions A. Evaluation of plant conditions by Operations personnel is accomplished through observation of the control boards, monitoring panels, ERFIS data displays, the SPDS displays, and information provided by the Accident Assessment Teams in the TSC and EOF.
B. The Accident Assessment Teams evaluate plant conditions by using ERFIS displays, damage assessment reports, seismic data, fire reports, dose projections, and monitoring data.
C. Core damage assessment methodology is applied by the TSC Accident Assessment Team utilizing data provided from the ERFIS, the Main Control Room, the Radiation Monitoring System, and the Chemistry Team.
4.4.2 Plant Radiological Monitoring A. The Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) will be used by Operations personnel and Radiological Control Team members to determine radiological conditions within the plant or abnormal radioactive effluents.
B. The Radiological Control Team will provide in-plant radiological measurements to supplement and confirm the RMS.
C. The Primary and Post-Accident Sampling is performed by the Chemistry Teams, to provide radiochemistry samples for analysis. The location for sampling is dependent on the anticipated radioactivity of the sample. Both the primary sample sink and the post accident sample panel may be used. Results of the samples will assist in the determination of core damage and dose assessment activities.
4.4.3 Dose Proiection A. Dose projections will be made to determine the off-site doses that might result from an accident and the possible need for protective action (see 4.5.1).
B. The dose projection capability on the computer can use source term data from the Radiation Monitoring System and meteorological data from the on-site meteorological station. This system will aid personnel in the Main Control Room or EOF in determining recommendations for protective action for the public.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 55 of 127
C. Data from the Radiation Monitoring System that is used to determine the source term for dose projections is quality tagged. Ifthe data is off-scale, then it is suspect or bad, and the effluent radiation levels must be determined by sampling at the radiation monitor test points. The results from analyzing the samples can be entered into the dose projection program as a substitute value.
D. Radionuclide mix assumptions (the accident source term) are contained in the computerized dose projection program as default values for use until actual sampling data can be substituted.
E. The National Weather Service and contracted weather sources will be contacted as needed to forecast atmospheric conditions affecting the site.
4.4.4 Environmental Monitorinq A. Environmental sampling and monitoring points are specified in environmental monitoring procedures.
B. Environmental Monitoring Teams will be activated in accordance with Table 2.2-1 and the appropriate implementing procedures. Additional teams can be called upon for support as needed.
C. The Environmental Monitoring Teams will track the plume from any radiological release by monitoring radiation levels as indicated on radiological measuring instruments and by obtaining and analyzing air samples.
D. The Environmental Monitoring Teams will aid in assessing liquid release pathways by sampling liquid effluents, such as the cooling tower blowdown.
E. Additional TLDs will be placed at various locations near the site and be periodically replaced throughout an emergency to ensure that a cumulative dose record is obtained.
4.5 Protective Actions for the Public 4.5.1 Protective Action Guides A. Exposure guidelines for the plume pathway are based on the Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R 001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" as follows:
IF: THEN:
Projected dose is: No actions are necessary.
< 5 Rem CDE Thyroid Projected dose is: Evacuate unless constraints make it
> 1 Rem TEDE impractical. Shelter as a minimum.
or
>_5 Rem CDE Thyroid PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 56 of 127
B. If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs and timely evacuation is practical, then evacuation is recommended. If timely evacuation is not practical then sheltering may be recommended.
- 1) HNP personnel normally do not have the necessary information to determine whether off site conditions would require sheltering instead of evacuation. An effort to base Protective Action Recommendations on external factors (such as road conditions, traffic/traffic control, weather or offsite emergency response capabilities) is usually performed by the State.
- 2) The State may consider sheltering for doses up to 5 Rem TEDE for hazardous environmental conditions, and for doses up to 10 Rem TEDE for special populations. Hazardous environmental conditions may include the presence of severe weather or competing disasters. Special populations may include institutionalized or infirm persons.
C. The State may consider the use of KI (potassium iodide) for doses equal to or greater that 5 REM CDE adult thyroid. This PAG dose trigger is referenced in the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Annex K -
RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTIVE DRUGS 4.5.2 Protective Action Recommendations (PARs)
A. Protective action guidelines for the plume pathway EPZ are based on NUREG-0654 Supplement 3, "Criteria for Protective Action Recommendations for Severe Accidents."
B. Plant conditions, projected dose and dose rates, and/or field monitoring data are evaluated to develop PARs for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to the general public. PARs are made to the State and County agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public wherever PAGs are exceeded. PARs are approved by the Emergency Response Manager. In an emergency which requires immediate protective actions be taken prior to activation of the emergency facilities, notification approval is given by the SEC-CR directly to the State and County agencies.
C. Possible recommendations issued by HNP at a General Emergency include, but are not limited to:
- 1) Evacuation of the general public within the two (2) mile radius and five (5) miles downwind. All other areas within the EPZ are sheltered (minimum PAR issued).
- 2) Evacuation of the general public within the five (5) mile radius and ten (10) miles downwind. All other areas within the EPZ are sheltered.
- 3) Consideration of the use of KI (potassium iodide).
4.5.3 In-gestion Pathway Protective Measures HNP is required to issue PARs wherever PAGs are exceeded, but the State is responsible for specifying long term protective measures to be used throughout the ingestion pathway. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 57 of 127
exposure due to deposited radioactive materials and the consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
4.5.4 Public Alertingq Warning, and Notification Alerting, warning, and notification of the public are steps taken by government agencies to advise the public that protective actions are necessary. Alerting, warning, and notification will be provided by sounding sirens, activation of tone-activated radios within five miles of the plant, and supplemented by announcements made through radio and television (EAS), sound trucks, bullhorns, and knocking on doors. Patrol boats will be used in alerting people on Jordan Lake and Harris Lake in accordance the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in support of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Annex G. Supplemental sirens are provided for alerting boaters on Harris Lake.
Public warning when deemed necessary will be accomplished as described in the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. Preplanned emergency messages and emergency instructions have been prepared and included as Annex D to that plan.
Sirens mounted on 50-foot utility poles have been installed by Duke Energy at various locations within a 10-mile radius of the HNP.
Activation of the sirens for warning of the public will be accomplished from the Wake County Emergency Operations Center or the Wake County Warning Points. The sirens can also be activated from the Harris Nuclear Plant or the Public Safety Communications Centers of Harnett, Lee and Chatham Counties. The outdoor warning system provides the capability for providing an alerting signal within the 10-mile EPZ, within 15 minutes from the time the decision is made to notify the public of an emergency situation.
Activation of the tone alert radios by the National Weather Service will be accomplished after they receive a request from Wake County or the State of North Carolina. The tone alert radios provide an indoor alerting signal within a 5-mile radius of the plant.
4.6 Protective Actions for On-Site Personnel 4.6.1 On-Site Alerting, Warning, and Notification The Plant Public-Address (PA) System will be used to alert and notify on-site personnel of an emergency condition within 15 minutes. Security personnel with portable loudspeakers may be used to augment the PA system and/or check evacuation of outlying areas, as available. The Plant PA System has the capability to transmit recognizable alarms which will alert personnel of an emergency situation, and to transmit voice communications which will notify personnel of those actions which should be taken. The Plant PA System is supplemented by the use of the normal and emergency communication systems located on site as described in Section 3.8 of this Plan.
4.6.2 Evacuation and Personnel Accountability All personnel on-site will be accounted for within 30 minutes of the declaration of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency and continuously thereafter during the emergency (accountability may be accomplished at any time prior to the declaration of a Site Area Emergency, if deemed appropriate). Accountability may be delayed during a PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 58 of 127
security event if the SEC (in consultation with Security) determines that performing accountability could be detrimental to the safety of plant personnel. If accountability is delayed, then accountability should be performed immediately when conditions warrant.
Personnel within the Protected Area will be accounted for and missing individual(s) will be identified by Security, Continuous accountability of personnel remaining inside the protected area will be maintained throughout the event. PEP-350 describes the accountability methodology. Search procedures will be implemented to locate unaccounted for persons.
Evacuation of on-site personnel can be accomplished, in accordance with PEP-350, for the Site or the Exclusion Area.
A. A Site Evacuation involves evacuation of all nonessential personnel within the Protected Area, Admin Building, parking lots, cooling tower area, sewage treatment plant, landfill, and intake structures. The site evacuation alarm will be sounded on the Plant PA system. Nonessential personnel (that is, personnel not on the ERO or assisting with the emergency) within the Protected Area will normally exit the Protected Area via the security building in accordance with normal Security procedures. Evacuating personnel may be monitored for contamination by the portal monitors as they exit the Protected Area or with portable friskers in the evacuation monitoring area, based on the situation. ERO personnel not assigned to emergency duties will travel to the HE&EC auditorium.
Personnel not on the ERO or assisting with the emergency shall depart the site using personal transportation and follow established evacuation routes.
Personnel without transportation will arrange for a ride from others who have space in their vehicles.
Nonessential personnel exiting the site will be directed to either proceed to their homes or if radiological conditions warrant, reassemble at a selected off-site assembly area until off-site monitoring and decontamination stations are in place.
Personnel exiting evacuated areas will be monitored and decontaminated, if necessary, at county monitoring stations.
B. An Exclusion Area Evacuation involves evacuation of all nonessential personnel and the public within the Protected Area and the site, as well as the surrounding areas controlled by Duke Energy within the Exclusion Area Boundary. In addition to sounding the plant evacuation alarm, personnel in outlying areas can be notified by patrol vehicles. If conditions warrant, evacuating personnel will be instructed to reassemble at the selected remote assembly area until county monitoring and decontamination stations are established.
C. Local evacuations relating to Radiation Control Areas and fire protection are conducted in accordance with plant procedures.
4.6.3 Radiological Exposure Control A. Radiological and Contamination Control Facilities Radiation safety controls are established 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to contain the spread of loose surface radioactive contamination and monitor personnel exposure.

contamination control limits are shown in Table 4.6-1. Emergency exposure guidance is given in Section 4.6.3.D of this plan. The radiation control facilities located in the Waste Processing Building include a contaminated laundry and storage area, clean laundry and storage area, personnel and equipment decontamination area. Additional areas where equipment is decontaminated are located in the Reactor Auxiliary Building (on the 236' and 261' levels) and at the north end of the Fuel Handling Building (on the 261' level). Radiation control and radiation control procedures are described in Section 12.5 of the FSAR.
Temporary facilities to limit contamination and exposure will be established as necessary during an emergency situation. As an example, facilities which can be used for personnel decontamination during an emergency are located in the Turbine Building and at the Harris Energy & Environmental Center. Radiation Control Areas can be expanded by roping off areas and/or establishing access control points to maintain personnel exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
B. Exposure Records for Emergency Workers Emergency workers will receive self reading pocket dosimeters (SRPDs) or equivalent and TLD badges. Dose records will be maintained by the Radiological Control Coordinator in accordance with PEP-330. TLDs are read at McGuire Island. They are capable of staffing 24-hour a day.
C. Use of Protective Equipment and Supplies During the course of an emergency, protective actions will be considered to minimize the effects of radiological exposures or contamination problems associated with personnel who must work within the affected Radiation Control Area. Measures that will be considered are:
0 Use of process or engineering controls.
- Distribution of respirators.
- Use of protective clothing.
- Use of thyroid blocking agents (Potassium Iodide).
The criteria for issuance of respiratory protection and protective clothing are described in plant radiological protection procedures.
Procedures for the administration of radioprotective drugs to employees are described in the plant emergency procedures.
D. Emergency Worker Exposure
- 1) Dose Limits for workers in an emergency are taken from EPA 400-R 001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents," U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, May 1992.
Much of the discussion in this section is taken in whole from that document.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 60 of 127
- 2) In emergency situations, workers may receive exposure under a variety of circumstances in order to assure protection of others and of valuable property. These exposures will be justified if the maximum risks or costs to others that are avoided by their actions outweigh the risks to which the workers are subjected (or collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred by the workers involved).
- 3) Emergency Worker Dose Limits are as follows:
Dose Limit Activity Condition (Rem TEDE) 5 All 10 Protecting valuable property Lower dose not practicable 25 Lifesaving or protection of Lower dose not practicable large populations
> 25 Lifesaving or protection of Only on a voluntary basis to persons
, large populations fully aware of the risks involved.
- 4) Limit dose to the lens of the eye to three (3) times the above values and doses to any other organ (including thyroid, skin and body extremities) to ten (10) times the above values.
- 5) Routine dose limits shall not be extended to emergency dose limits for declared pregnant individuals. As in the case of normal occupational exposure, doses received under emergency conditions should be maintained as low as reasonably achievable.
- 6) Entry into radiation fields of greater than 25 Rem/hour or emergency exposures in excess of 5 Rem TEDE shall not be permitted unless specifically authorized by the Site Emergency Coordinator for on-site emergency workers and by the Emergency Response Manager for EOF or EOF dispatched personnel.
- 7) Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Rem TEDE should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.
- 8) Personnel who will receive emergency related exposure should be selected and controlled in accordance with guidelines contained in the implementing procedures.
Rev. 63 Page 61 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 61 of 127
E. Decontamination and First Aid
- 1) Treatment of Injured and Contaminated Persons Personnel decontamination supplies are located near the WPB 261' Decon Showers. Personnel showers are located in the general area of the main RCA entrance (WPB 261'). Chemical decontamination agents are available from Radiation Control personnel and, except in cases of severe or life-threatening injury, established decontamination procedures should be employed on site prior to medical treatment.
- 2) Initial First Aid In cases of severe injury, lifesaving first aid or medical treatment will take precedence over personnel decontamination. In general, the order of medical treatment will be:
- Care of severe physical injuries or illness.
- Personnel decontamination.
" First aid to other injuries.
- Definitive medical treatment and subsequent therapy as required.
Definitive medical treatment, therapy, and evaluation may include radioprotective drugs, urinary bioassays, or whole body counts on persons suspected of inhaling or ingesting a significant amount of radioactive material or may include surveillance and therapy for persons receiving a large whole body dose.
Emergency first aid personnel are available on all shifts. Personnel who are contaminated and who require medical treatment may be treated by these personnel on the scene or at other appropriate locations.
It is anticipated that contaminated personnel will not leave the facility for medical treatment except for cases that require immediate hospitalization.
Emergency treatment of contaminated personnel will normally be handled at the plant First Aid Room by personnel on the First Aid Team(s).
First Aid kits are located in various areas of the plant (see ORT-3002).
The First Aid Stations/Kits contain various equipment/items necessary to treat injured personnel until off-site agencies can transport patient to appropriate treatment center, if applicable.
Rev. 63 Page 62 of 127 PLP-20 1 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 62 of 127
- 3) Decontamination Radiation safety controls are established to contain the spread of loose surface radioactive contamination. Personnel and equipment leaving contaminated areas are monitored to ensure that equipment, personnel or their clothing are not contaminated. If contaminated above acceptable levels (see Table 4.6-1), they will be decontaminated in accordance with plant procedures. Supplies, instruments and equipment that are in contaminated areas or have been brought into contaminated areas will be monitored for contamination. Iffound to be contaminated, they will be decontaminated using normal plant decontamination techniques and facilities (discussed in Section 4.6.3.A) or may be disposed of as radwaste.
During emergency conditions, normal plant contamination control criteria will be adhered to as much as possible. Contamination control criteria for returning areas and items to normal use are contained in the plant Health Physics Procedures. These criteria are summarized in Table 4.6-1.
- 4) Medical Transportation The Apex Rescue Squad has agreed to respond to emergency calls from the plant, including transporting persons with injuries involving radioactive contamination. This service is available on a 24-hour-per-day basis. In cases not involving severe injury, one of the plant vehicles may be used to transport injured individuals. The Apex Rescue Squad is included in Annex A, "Agreements".
In cases involving severe injury, the Shift Manager (SM) or Site Emergency Coordinator may bypass the Apex Rescue Squad and directly call Carolina Air Care or Duke Life Flight and request helicopter transport provided the injured is free of radioactive contamination.
Contaminated injured persons will be accompanied to a medical facility by a Radiation Control Team member carrying survey instrument. If possible, contaminated clothing and equipment may be removed from the patient or the patient may be wrapped in clean sheets or clothing to prevent contamination of the transporting personnel and vehicle.
Rescue vehicles have mobile communications with the Raleigh Communications Center and local receiving hospitals. The plant first aid team can communicate directly with the rescue vehicles by dialing the cellular phone located in the rescue vehicles.
Page 63 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 63 of 127
F. Medical Treatment
- 1) Hospital Facilities A specially designated emergency area is maintained in readiness at Rex Healthcare for HNP's use for the treatment of contaminated or overexposed patients from the plant. Although this area will be utilized by the hospital when not required by HNP, it will be made available to HNP when required. Equipment is available in the hospital for the emergency treatment of patients. With the facilities and equipment available, extensive decontamination and treatment of an injured patient could be performed, including any surgical treatment that may be required.
WakeMed Raleigh and WakeMed Cary serve as backup medical facilities for HNP personnel should Rex Healthcare become unavailable.
WakeMed Raleigh serves as the primary medical facility for trauma patients from HNP. Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital, in Dunn, N.C., also possesses the capability for the treatment of contaminated and/or overexposed members of the public.
An emergency kit is maintained at Rex Healthcare, WakeMed Raleigh, and WakeMed Cary containing supplies and equipment for personnel monitoring and the control of radioactive contamination. These kits contain the following:
0 Low-range radiation monitoring instruments for determining contamination levels.
0 Personnel monitoring equipment such as self-reading pocket dosimeters and TLDs.
0 Decontamination equipment and supplies for both personnel and facility.
- Contamination control equipment and supplies such as protective clothing, signs, ropes, tags, plastic bags.
Agreements with Rex Healthcare, WakeMed Raleigh and WakeMed Cary are maintained on file by HNP Emergency Preparedness. These three hospitals are listed in Annex A, "Agreements".
- 2) Medical Consultants Medical assistance is available in the Raleigh area from general practitioners who have agreed to provide medical assistance for contaminated patients (See Annex A). Also, the DOE Radiological Assistance Team will provide medical assistance, if required.
Page 64 of 127 PLP-2Q1 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 64 of 127
G. Contamination Control of Drinking Water and Food Measures will be taken to control access to potentially contaminated potable water and food supplies on site. Under emergency conditions when a release of activity has occurred, eating, drinking, smoking, and chewing will be not permitted until the facility manager has determined that it is safe to do so. If the drinking water is contaminated above acceptable levels, uncontaminated water will be brought into the plant for the personnel to drink. Emergency food supplies are stored in a secure manner (See Table 3.1-1). Packaged food is located in vending machines in lunch rooms or office areas in the Administration Building, Fuel Handling Building "K" area, Operations Building, or Service Building. If these areas become contaminated because of a release of activity, the machines will be disabled or emptied until it can be verified that the food is not contaminated or the food will be discarded. Food located in the Service Building cafeteria would be verified uncontaminated prior to use.
4.7 Fire-Fighting Assistance Off-site fire departments will provide support as described in Annex A and Annex G.
4.8 Security Measures Security measures during an emergency will be employed in accordance with the Plant Security Plan, implementing Security procedures, and Plant Emergency Procedures dealing with personnel accountability, egress, and ingress. Accountability may be delayed during a security event if the SEC (in consultation with Security) determines that performing accountability could be detrimental to the safety of plant personnel. If accountability is delayed, then accountability should be performed immediately when conditions warrant.
HNP has a plan with the North Carolina National Guard that specifies that the National Guard will be in communication with HNP security should they be deployed to HNP during a security event. The location of the National Guard on-site personnel will be known and maintained by HNP security. HNP security will be responsible for any evacuation or relocation of National Guard units in the event of a radiological release.

5.2.5 Public Education and Information - HNP Occupants in the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) will be provided information prepared by HNP in conjunction with the state and county agencies. This public education and information program is intended to ensure that members of the public are (1) aware of the potential for an occurrence of a radiological emergency; (2) able to recognize a radiological emergency notification; and (3) knowledgeable of the proper, immediate actions to be taken upon notification.
This will be accomplished by (1) distribution of the annual safety information brochure which contains educational information on emergency preparedness, sheltering, sirens, and radiation including telephone numbers of agencies to contact for more information; (2) annual distribution of a school brochure to school bus drivers and students; (3) availability of qualified personnel to address civic, religious, social, and occupational organizations; (4) distribution of news material to the media; and (5) periodic publication of the 10-mile EPZ newsletter, periodic not to exceed annual.
Emergency information will be made available to transient populations through the distribution of safety information'brochures to commercial establishments in the 10-mile EPZ. A supply of these brochures is maintained at motels within the 10-mile EPZ.
Lake warning signs are posted at boat ramps, or access roads to boat ramps, at Harris and Jordan Lakes. These signs describe the activities which would be taken to initiate an evacuation of the lake and actions which should be taken in response to the evacuation. The posting of these signs is verified semiannually.
During an actual emergency, provisions will be established through the Joint Information Center to make available and distribute information to the news media. Provisions for a number of telephones which members of the public, who hear rumors, can call for factual information will also be implemented in the JIC when activated.
5.2.6 Public Education - State of North Carolina The North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety has overall responsibility for maintaining a continuing disaster preparedness public education program. Such a program, prepared by the state of North Carolina, with the cooperation of the local governments and HNP, is intended to ensure the members of the public are:

A program of this type includes education on protective actions to be taken if shelter is prescribed and the general procedures to follow if an evacuation is required. It also includes general educational information on radiation and how to learn more about emergency preparedness.
5.3 Drills and Exercises 5.3.1 Drills Scenarios used in drills and exercises must vary challenges and avoid preconditioning or anticipatory responses through the use of a wide spectrum of scenario elements.
Scenarios must be kept confidential from participants (players). The ERO shall be provided the opportunity to develop and maintain key emergency response skills in response to the following scenario elements during the conduct of drills and exercises over the course of an exercise planning cycle (8 years) beginning in the year of the Hostile Action Based Exercise (2015):
- 1. Demonstration of all functions in each ERF (e.g., all ERFs that are responsible for dose assessment perform those duties in response to a radiological release)
- 2. Response to hostile action including interface with Local Law Enforcement Agencies (LLEA)
- 3. Engineering assessment, repair plan development, and physical repair of critical equipment damaged by hostile action after the active attack but before the site is secured by LLEAs
- 4. Response to a scenario with no radiological release or an unplanned minimal radiological release that does not require public protective actions. The scenario selected for this objective will vary from cycle to cycle
- 5. Response to a scenario that begins with a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency or escalates rapidly (within 30 minutes) to a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency
- 6. The ability to implement mitigation strategies using equipment and procedures developed to respond to the loss of large areas of the plant (i.e.,
10.CFR.50.54(hh) mitigating strategies - actual operation not expected)
- 7. The successful repair of simulated damaged equipment to prevent or mitigate core damage, reactor vessel loss, and/or containment loss (twice per exercise schedule)
- 8. The use of alternative facilities to stage the ERO for rapid activation during a hostile action event
- 9. Real time staffing of facilities during off-hours (1800-0400) This need not be performed during an exercise
- 10. The ability to provide medical care for injured contaminated personnel
- 11. The use of essentially 100 percent of initiating conditions identified in the site emergency plan implementing procedure for classification of emergencies
- 12. The use of wind direction and persistence relative to the site.
EPM-210 prescribes policies and procedures for conducting the following drills:
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 79 of 127
A. Communication Drills
- 1) Communication from the Plant to the State warning point, State EOC and local government warning points within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone shall be tested monthly. This shall include the transmittal of the information on an Emergency Notification Form.
- 2) Communications from the Main Control Room, Technical Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility to the NRC Headquarters Operations Center shall be tested monthly.
- 3) Communications between the nuclear facility, state, and local emergency operations centers, and environmental monitoring teams shall be tested annually.
- 4) Communications between the Main Control Room, the Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility shall be tested annually.
B. Fire Drills Fire drills shall be conducted in accordance with Section 13.2 of the FSAR.
C. Medical Emercqency Drills A medical emergency drill involving a simulated contaminated individual with provision for participation by the local support services agencies (that is, ambulance, and off-site medical treatment facility) shall be conducted annually.
The off-site portions of the medical drill may be conducted once per calendar year.
D. Environmental Monitoring Drills Plant environs and radiological monitoring drills (on site and off site) shall be conducted annually. These drills shall include collection and analysis of all sample media (such as water, vegetation, soil, and air), and provisions for communications and record keeping.
E. Radiological Control Drills
- 1) Radiological Control drills shall be conducted semiannually which involve response to, and analysis of, simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples and direct radiation measurements in the environment.
- 2) Analysis of in-plant liquid samples with actual elevated radiation levels shall be included in Radiological Control drills annually.
Page 80 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Rev. 63 Page 80 of 127
F. Integrated Drills
- 1) Integrated training drills are conducted between biennial exercises to ensure adequate emergency response capability is maintained. An integrated drill combines principle functional areas of the on-site response which includes the management and coordination of the response, accident assessment, protective action decision-making, and plant system repair and corrective actions. Activation of all of the emergency response facilities is not necessary. Integrated drills may provide the opportunity for training for the staff.
- 2) At least one integrated drill is to be performed between the biennial exercises and some drills may be unannounced.
- 3) Critiques and evaluation of drills will be conducted by a qualified individual. The degree of participation by outside agencies in conducting these drills may vary and their action may actually be simulated.
G. Security Drills Mitigative measures in hostile action based scenarios should commence after the simulated active attack has ceased but before LLEAs have swept the site for safe entry or declared the site secure. Securing the site may take days. It is important that licensees train personnel to respond in the aftermath of hostile action events and demonstrate the planning and prioritization of mitigative action team personnel. Mitigative actions may prevent or ameliorate core damage or containment failure.
5.3.2 Exercises An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability of major response organizations. Exercises shall test the adequacy of timing and content of implementing procedures and methods, test emergency equipment and communications networks, and ensure that emergency organization personnel are familiar with their duties.
Procedures for the conduct of exercises are described in EPM-210. An emergency exercise involving on-site participation will be conducted at least once every other calendar year.
Partial participation exercises involving off-site agencies will be conducted at least once every other calendar year (IE Information Notice 85-55). Partial participation means appropriate off-site authorities shall actively take part in the exercise sufficient to test direction and control functions to include protective action decision making related to emergency action levels and communication capabilities among affected state and local authorities and HNP.
Every sixth year the exercise will include the full participation of the State. These full participation exercises will include appropriate off-site local and state authorities and HNP personnel physically and actively taking part in testing the integrated capability to adequately assess and respond to an accident at the plant. "Full participation" includes testing the major observable portions of the on-site and off-site emergency plans and mobilization of state, local, and HNP personnel and other resources in sufficient numbers to verify the capability to respond to the accident scenario.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 81 of 127
Exercises involving off-site agencies will simulate an emergency that results in an off-site radiological release.
Once every eight years the exercise will demonstrate an emergency response to a security-based threat.
The biennial exercises should be conducted during different seasons of the year.
Advance knowledge of the scenarios will be kept to a minimum to allow "free-play" decision making and to ensure a realistic participation by those involved.
Each biennial exercise plan should include the following:
0 The basic objective(s) of the exercise.
0 The date(s), time period, place(s), and participating organizations.
0 The simulated events.
- A time schedule of real and simulated initiating events.
- A narrative summary describing the conduct of the exercise to include such things as simulated casualties, off-site fire department assistance, rescue of personnel, use of protective clothing, deployment of radiological monitoring teams, and public information activities.
Arrangements for qualified Evaluators and Controllers.
Critique and Evaluation Reports.
Prior to the exercise, an exercise plan will be distributed to the exercise controllers and evaluators that will include a list of performance objectives, the scenario, and a description of the expected responses.
Qualified observers from Duke Energy, federal, state, or local governments will observe and critique each biennial exercise in which the state and counties participate. A critique will be scheduled at the conclusion of each exercise to evaluate the ability of all participating organizations to respond. The critique will be held as soon as possible after the exercise. A formal written evaluation of the exercise will be prepared by the Emergency Planning Coordinator following the critique.
The Plant Emergency Planning Coordinator or assigned designee will determine those critique items that require corrective actions. Plant administrative controls will be utilized to ensure that corrective actions are implemented.
5.4 Maintenance and Inventory of Emergency Equipment and Supplies 5.4.1 Emergency Equipment and Supplies A resource list of emergency equipment and supplies to be inventoried for the TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC is referenced in the emergency program maintenance procedures.
This listing provides information on location and availability of emergency equipment and supplies.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 82 of 127
An inventory of all emergency equipment and supplies is held on a quarterly basis and after use in an emergency or drill. During this inventory, radiation monitoring equipment is to be checked to verify that required calibration and location are in accordance with the inventory lists.
5.4.2 Medical Equipment and Supplies Respiratory protection equipment, maintained for emergency purposes, is to be inspected and inventoried monthly.
At least twice each year and after use in an emergency or drill, emergency medical equipment and supplies located in the First Aid Station/Kits throughout the plant are to be inventoried, inspected, replaced, and replenished and/or resterilized as necessary.
First Aid Team personnel inspect and inventory emergency medical supplies required to support a medical emergency at the plant, and plant personnel use the checklist in the applicable procedures to inspect other emergency items located in the First Aid Station/Kits.
5.4.3 Meteorological Instrumentation Calibration of and channel checks on meteorological instrumentation are performed in accordance with PLP-1 14.
5.5 Testing and Maintenance of the Public Notification and Alerting System 5.5.1 General Description The Public Notification and Alerting System consist of sirens located throughout the 10-mile EPZ and Tone Alert Radios distributed to households within a 5-mile radius of the HNP.

6.0 RECOVERY 6.1 Recovery Planning Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. The overall goals of the recovery effort are to assess the in-plant consequences of the emergency and perform cleanup and repair operations. This effort includes the utilization of Duke Energy Corporate resources and interfacing with outside agencies. All recovery actions will be pre-planned in order to minimize radiation exposure or other hazards to recovery personnel.
Recovery from an emergency situation is guided by the following principles:
A. The protection of the public health and safety is the foremost consideration in formulating recovery plans.
B. Public officials are kept informed of recovery plans so that they can properly carry out their responsibilities to the public.
C. Periodic briefings of media representatives are held to inform the public of recovery plans and progress made.
D. Periodic status reports are given to company employees at other locations and to government and industry representatives.
E. The radiation doses to employees and other radiation workers are kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
F. Necessary adjustments in the size and makeup of the Recovery Manager's staff are made as deemed necessary by the Recovery Manager.
The recovery organization may begin to develop plans for recovery of the facility while the emergency is still in progress. However, these efforts will not be permitted to interfere with or detract from the efforts to control the emergency situation. During the emergency phases of the incident, the recovery organization resources will be available to assist and provide support for the Site Emergency Coordinator.
6.2 Recovery Plan Activation The Site Emergency Coordinator, with concurrence from the Emergency Response Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the plant is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:
A. Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? If so, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
B. Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
C. The radioactive plume has dissipated and plume tracking is no longer required.
The only environmental assessment activities in progress are those necessary to assess the extent of deposition resulting from passage of the plume.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 85 of 127
D. In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
E. The potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
F. The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available.
G. Containment pressure in within Technical Specification limits.
H. Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
I. All required notifications have been made.
J. Discussions have been held with Federal, State and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
K. At an Alert or higher classification, the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
It is not necessary that all conditions listed above be met; however, all items must be considered prior to entering the recovery phase. For example, it is possible after a severe accident that some conditions remain which exceed and Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.
Decisions to relax protective actions for the public will be made in accordance with the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Plan. The Recovery Manager will provide information to the appropriate state agencies to facilitate the decision.
Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the HNP Recovery Organization is determined.
A. For events of a minor nature, (that is, for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
B. For events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (that is, for Alert classifications) the HNP Emergency Response Organization, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal plant organization.
C. For events involving major damage to systems required to maintain safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (that is, for Site Area Emergency or General Emergency classifications) the Recovery Organization is put in place.
Rev. 63 Page 86 of 127 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 86 of 127
When the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, all members of the HNP Emergency Response Organization are informed of the change. All appropriate personnel are instructed of the Recovery Organization and their responsibilities to the recovery effort. Notification of off-site organizations that the Recovery Organization is to be activated will be initiated by the Emergency Response Manager and will follow plant emergency notification procedures summarized in Section 4.2 of the Plan (except that the notification message will state that the Recovery Plan has been initiated, will list the new positions of the Recovery Organization, and the notification time limits will not be applicable).
6.3 Recovery Organization The specific members of the Recovery Organization are selected based on the sequence of events that preceded the recovery activities as well as the requirements of the recovery phase. The basic framework of the Recovery Organization is as follows:
Recovery Manager Onsite Recovery Offsite Reco Company ther Duke Director Director Spokesperson Energy Support Directs recovery activities Directs the HNP Interface Directs the HNP Public Legal, Financial, and so to restore the plant to with Federal, State and Information Program during forth.

ANNEX C Glossary Of Terms Accident Assessment - Accident assessment consists of a variety of actions taken to determine the nature, effects, and severity of an accident and includes evaluation of reactor operator status reports, damage assessment reports, meteorological observations, seismic observations, fire reports, radiological dose projections, in-plant radiological monitoring, and environmental monitoring.
Activate - To formally put on active duty with the necessary personnel and equipment to carry out the function required, such as to activate the Technical Support Center (TSC) or the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
Alerting/Warning, Public - The process of signaling the public, as with sirens, to turn on their TlVs or radios and listen for information or instructions broadcast by state or local government authorities on the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
Assessment Actions - Those actions taken during or after an accident to obtain and process information which is necessary to make decisions to implement specific emergency measures.
Command and Control - Exercising the authority to coordinate and utilize an organization's resources to respond to an emergency condition.
Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) - The Dose Equivalent to organs or tissues of reference that will be received from an intake of radioactive material by an individual during the 50-year period following the intake.
Corrective Action - Those emergency measures taken to lessen or terminate an emergency situation at or near the source of the problem, to prevent an uncontrolled release of radioactive material, or to reduce the magnitude of a release. Corrective action includes equipment repair or shutdown, installation of emergency structures, fire fighting, repair, and damage control.
County(ies) - When used in the context of the HNP 10-mile EPZ means Chatham, Lee, Harnett, and/or Wake County(ies).
Damage Assessment - Estimates and descriptions of the nature and extent of damages resulting from an emergency or disaster; of actions that can be taken to prevent or mitigate further damage; and of assistance required in response and recovery efforts based on actual observations by qualified engineers and inspectors.
Damage Control - The process of preventing further damage to occur and preventing the increase in severity of the accident.
Decontamination - The reduction or removal of contaminated radioactive material from a structure, area, material, object, or person. Decontamination may be accomplished by (1) treating the surface so as to remove or decrease the contamination, (2) letting the material stand so that the radioactivity is decreased as a result of natural decay, and (3) covering the contamination.
PLP-201 Rev. 63 Page 94 of 127
ANNEX C Glossary Of Terms DEM - An abbreviation standing for North Carolina Division of Emergency Management.
DEM is the State agency responsible for preparing and maintaining a State Radiological Emergency Response Plan and for assembling and dispatching a State Emergency Response Team (SERT) to the scene of an emergency.
Dose Projection - The calculated estimate of a radiation dose to individuals at a given location (normally off site), determined from the source term/quantity of radioactive material (Q) released, and the appropriate meteorological dispersion parameters (Q/Q).
Dose Rate - The amount of ionizing (or nuclear) radiation to which an individual would be exposed per unit of time. As it would apply to dose rate to a person, it is usually expressed as Rem per hour or in submultiples of this unit, such as millirem per hour.
The dose rate is commonly used to indicate the level of radioactivity in a contaminated area.
Dosimeter - An instrument such as a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD), self-reading pocket dosimeter (SRPD), or electronic dosimeter (ED) for measuring, registering, or evaluating total accumulated dose or exposure to ionizing radiation.
Drill - A supervised instruction period aimed at testing, developing, and maintaining skills in a particular operation.
Early Phase - The period at the beginning of a nuclear incident when immediate decisions for effective use of protective actions are required and must be based primarily on predictions of radiological conditions in the environment. This phase may last from hours to days. For the purposes of dose projections it is assumed to last four days.
Emergency Action Levels (EALs) - Plant conditions used to determine the existence of an emergency and to classify its severity. The conditions include specific instrument readings, alarms, and observations that in combination indicate that an emergency initiating event has occurred and therefore an appropriate class of emergency should be declared. EALs cover a broad range of events such as radioactive releases to the environment, loss of all on-site and off-site power, security threats, and fire.
Emergency Alert System (EAS) - A network of broadcast stations and interconnecting facilities which have been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to operate in a controlled manner during a war, state of public peril or disaster, or other national emergency - as provided by the Emergency Alert System Plan.
