11 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE 7 of 36 PROCEDURE NO" EMERGENCY COORDINATOR EPIP-02 ST. LUCIE PLANT 5.0 INSTRUCTIONS 5.1 General Overview
- 1. 17,11 Upon Declaration of an emergency classification the NPS becomes the EC.
To ensure access to the EC for direction and control decisions and so that the responsibilities of the position can be successfully completed, the EC position shall remain, initially in the affected Control Room and then in the Technical Support Center (TSC), when it goes operational.
Prior to the TSC being operational or in cases when there is a prolonged event such as a hurricane, the duties and responsibilities of the EC, while a Control Room position, may be turned over to another qualified EC:
CAUTION There can NOT be two concurrent declared emergency classes under the St. Lucie Plant Radiological Emergency Plan.
If the site is in a dual Unit event, the EC should locate in the Unit 1 Control Room (due to proximity to the TSC). If both units are experiencing independent and classifiable conditions, the EC should locate in the Unit Control Room with the [highest] classified event.
If the TSC is activated, Then the EC position is turned over to an EC qualified member of plant management and the position relocated to the TSC. The prospective EC receives a turnover (refer to Attachment 3, Turnover Guidelines) from the Control Room EC and then reports to the TSC. Following verification of TSC operational readiness, the prospective EC accepts EC responsibility from the Control Room EC. The TSC EC may temporarily turnover responsibility to the TSC OPS Coordinator as the need arises.
- 2. To meet the above responsibilities, plus others described in this procedure, the EC will likely need to delegate many tasks. Although delegated, the completion of these tasks is still the responsibility of the EC.
The EC shall not delegate the following responsibilities prior to Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) being declared operational:
A. Classification of the emergency.

- 2. (continued)
B. The decision to notify state and local authorities and the content of those notifications.
C. Recommendation of protective actions for the public.
Once the EOF is operational and proper turnover has been conducted, the Recovery Manager (RM) will assume responsibility for off-site notifications to the state and local authorities and for recommending off-site protective actions.
- 3. Order of Succession If the NPS is incapacitated, Then the EC shall be (in order of succession):
A. Assistant Nuclear Plant Supervisor (ANPS) (from the affected unit)
B. Nuclear Watch Engineer (NWE)
C. Any other member of the plant staff with an active SRO license.
- 4. Watch Relief A. The EC shall grant permission for watch relief, including his/her own, only when it is safe in his/her judgement to do so.
- 5. 114 Early Activation of Emergency Response Facilities It may be useful to have technical and/or operational support available early in an emergency prior to when the Technical Support Center (TSC),
Operational Support Center (OSC), or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is required to be operational. Activation of any of these facilities does not require declaration of an emergency class or entry into a specific emergency classification. If early activation of one or more of the facilities is desired, then follow these guidelines:
A. This is an option during normal working hours only.
B. A page announcement should be made to request that appropriate Emergency Response Organization personnel to report to the
[identify what facility/facilities is/are to be activated early].

§1 EXPOSURE LIMITS FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PERSONNEL (Page 1 of 1)
NOTE
- 1. Both Total Dose (TEDE) and Thyroid Dose (CDE) should be used for purposes of controlling exposure.
- 2. Protective clothing, including respirators, should be used where appropriate.
Total Dose(2) THYROID(3)
For the following missions, the exposure limit is(l):
Performance of actions that would not directly mitigate the event, minimize escalation, or minimize effluent releases. 5 REM 50 REM Performance of actions that mitigate the escalation to the event, rescue persons from a non-life threatening situation, minimize exposures or minimize effluent releases. 10 REM 100 REM Performance of actions that decrease the severity of the event or terminate the processes causing the event in an attempt to control effluent releases to avoid extensive exposure of large populations.
Also, rescue of persons from a life-threatening situation. 25 REM 250 REM Rescue of person from a life-threatening situation. (Volunteers(4) should be above the age of 45.) (5) (5)
(1) Exposure limits to the lens of the eye are 3 times the Total Dose (TEDE) values listed.
(2) Total Dose (TEDE) is the total whole body exposure from both external and internal (weighted) sources - Total Effective Dose Equivalent.
(3) Thyroid Dose (CDE) commitment from internal sources - Committed Dose Equivalent.
The same dose limits also apply to other organs (CDE), skin (Shallow Dose Equivalent) and extremities (Extremity Dose Equivalent).
(4) Volunteers with full awareness of risks involved including numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.
(5) No upper limit for Total Dose (TEDE) ahd/or Thyroid Dose (CDE) exposure has been established because it is not possible to prejudge the risks that one person should be allowed to take to save the life of another. Also, no specific limit is given for thyroid exposure since in the extreme case, complete thyroid loss might be an acceptable sacrifice for a life saved. This should not be necessary if respirators and/or thyroid protection for rescue personnel are available as the result of adequate planning.
