Enclosure L-17-068 Summary of Changes

ENCLOSURE Perry Nuclear:Power Plant EP 0000 Revision 50 Change Summary Revision 50 of EP 0000, Emergency Plan for Perry Nuclear Power Plant Docket Nos.

50-440 contained the following changes.

Several changes were made to the Emergency Plan to implement NEI 99-01 Revision 6 Emergency Action Levels as authorized by the Commission in License Amendment 173 to Operating License NPF-58 for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 in Letter dated September 14, 2016. These changes were evaluated in 10CFR50.54(q) PY-2016-017-00 and incorporated due to prior Commission approval.

1. All references to the NUMARC/NESP-007 emergency action level scheme were removed. These included Initiating Conditions, Entry Criterion, Cross-Reference Matrix.

The NEI 99-01 Revision 6 scheme for Initiating Conditions, Emergency Action Level, and Cross-Reference are contained in the bases implementing procedure PSl-0019, EAL and EAL Bases Document. Each category, subcategory and applicable plant condition were incorporated into the Emergency Plan.

2 .. The PSl-0019, EAL and EAL Bases Document and EPl-A 1, Emergency Action Levels were incorporated by reference in the Emergency Plan. EPl-A 1 implements the EAL Classification Matrix.

3. Minor editorial changes to the definitions of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency were made to match the definitions in the bases procedure (PSl-0019).

Some additional changes were incorporated into Revision 50 that were evaluated in 10CFR50.54(q) PY-2017-004-00 and found to be consistent with 10CFR50.47(b) and 10CFR50, Appendix E requirements and did not cause a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan These additional changes include:

1. Changed Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs) to Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs) throughout the Emergency Plan to align with updated site procedures and current industry standards. This change was determined to be editorial in nature and therefore does not result in a decrease in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

2. Added Table 8-2 to describe topical training requirements for key on-site Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel. The table format used aligns more consistently with Table 8-1, which describes training requirements for off-site responders, and with the requirements of NUREG-0654, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants. The addition of this table does not change any existing training requirements, but rather packages them in a table format which provides more content detail and anchors them administratively in the Emergency Plan.
