1.3 Scope and Applicability The Emergency Plan describes Florida Power & Light Company's plans for responding to emergencies that may develop at the Turkey Point Plant. The plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b), 10 CFR 50.72, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E. The purpose of this plan is to define and assign authority and responsibility in order to protect the health and safety of the public and plant personnel. This plan applies to all plant emergencies which have resulted in, or which increase the risk of the accidental release of radioactive materials to the environment.
Plans have been developed based upon knowledge of the potential consequences, timing, and release characteristics of a spectrum of events. Emergency Planning Zones have been defined.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone for the Turkey Point Plant. A key component of this plan is coordination with Federal, State, and County authorities who contribute to the overall response effort. This plan outlines Company responsibilities within the framework of the overall Emergency Response Organization, and provides a conceptual basis for the development of the detailed procedures necessary to implement the plan.
1-6 W2010/*2/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev.64
1.4 Concept of Operations The Emergency Plan defines emergency conditions and delineates the responsibilities and duties of the FPL Emergency Response Organization (see Figure 2-1). The Emergency Plan is concerned with the following basic activities, which are discussed in the plan in detail:
- 1) Organization and resources adequate to detect the presence of an emergency condition, assess the condition, and respond in an appropriate manner (Chapter 2).
- 2) Assignment of an off-normal event to its proper emergency classification (Chapter 3).
- 3) Notification of off-site authorities, as required, and continuing communications (Chapter 4).
- 4) Gathering and interpreting data to determine appropriate actions (Chapter 5).
- 5) Assisting governmental agencies in the development of information for the public both in terms of preparatory education and emergency response information (Chapter 6).
- 6) Maintaining the FPL Emergency Preparedness Program in a state ofreadiness (Chapter 7).
Associated with this Emergency Plan are implementing procedures which provide a detailed source of pertinent information and data required by the response organization during an emergency. These procedures are listed in Appendix C.

Off-normal events have been separated into the following four classifications of emergencies:
- 1) Unusual Event
- 2) Alert
- 3) Site Area Emergency
- 4) General Emergency These four classes represent emergency conditions which trigger activation of emergency procedures. When an emergency is declared in connection with one of these four classes, many individuals assume new titles with special responsibilities.
Each emergency class is characterized by unusual or off-normal plant events detected by Control Room instrumentation and/or routine or directed surveillance activities.
- The Company's response to an emergency condition consists of an on-shift (immediate) response and an augmented (expanded) response Emergency Response Organization (ERO) which can readily adapt to an emergency condition as it develops. The immediate response phase encompasses the period of time and sequence of actions associated with the initial detection of an off-normal event, classification as an emergency, and activation of the ERO, if required.
During this phase, the Shift Manager assumes responsibility as the Emergency Coordinator and initiates the following general activities:
- 1) Diagnosis of the off-normal event
- 2) Corrective action
- 3) Classification of the off-normal event
- 4) Notification of appropriate off-site authorities
- 5) Notification of appropriate FPL authorities During the expanded response phase, the Emergency Coordinator and Recovery Manager (RM) will assess the situation and, as necessary, expand the Emergency Response Organization. All available company resources can be mobilized as needed during this period. State, County, and Federal Response Organizations can become fully operational, as required. Assessment, protective, and corrective actions will continue during the expanded response phase, as required.
Table 1-1 summarizes the sequence of actions taken during the phased response. Figure 1-2 delineates the initial notification flow and Figure 2-2 shows the same for the State and County organizations.
1-9 W2010/*2/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
As discussed throughout this plan, FPL maintains adequate facilities and equipment for detecting, assessing, and responding to emergencies. Redundant means of communications among key response participants are maintained. FPL also maintains agreements that will provide for emergency medical, rescue, or fire support on site, if needed. The training program is designed to maintain the proficiency of the Emergency Response Organization.
The FPL individual in charge of on-site Emergency response during the immediate and expanded response phases is the Emergency Coordinator. The senior company official, with responsibility for policy and authority to expend funds, is the Recovery Manager. The Recovery Manager is also responsible for Emergency Operations Facility activation and operation during the expanded response phase.
In Miami-Dade County, the individual responsible during emergencies is the County Mayor or designee. In Monroe County, the Monroe County Mayor provides direction and control during emergencies.
As indicated in the State Plan, "the Governor is ultimately responsible for protecting the population of the State from the dangers created by emergencies which are beyond the capabilities of local governments or which are multi-jurisdictional in nature. He will provide for public protection through the assignment of.appropriate state resources and agencies". "The Governor has appointed the Director, Division of Emergency Management, as the Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) to act in his/her behalf, as necessary, during a radiological emergency". During emergencies, all State agencies report to this person.

3-3 W2010/*4/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
3.5 Emergency Action Levels Emergency action levels for a wide variety of hypothetical off-normal plant occurrences are listed in Appendix D. The emergency action levels represent conditions generally observable by plant personnel and can be used to properly classify an occurrence as an Unusual Event, and Alert, a Site Area Emergency, or a General Emergency. Included in these tables are all accidents discussed by the Final Safety Analysis Report. Minor changes to parameter values and wording may be made in the emergency classification table throughout the year and incorporated in the annual revision to the emergency plan.
Tables 3-2 and 3-3 contain listings of Process and Effluent Monitors and Area Radiation Monitors that may be used to assess emergency conditions. These tables contain information regarding the type of monitor, range of the instruments and typical setpoints (actual setpoints are defined by procedure).
Table 3-4 contains a listing of non-radiological monitors, meters, or gauges that may be used to assess emergency conditions. This table contains information regarding the parameter measured, typical range of the monitor, meter or gauge, and typical normal range of the instruments.
The Emergency Coordinator may classify off-normal events into one of the four categories in the absence ofa specific emergency action level based on an assessment that plant conditions have or may have adverse effects on the level of safety.
FPL maintains the capacity to provide an emergency classification within fifteen minutes of the condition becoming available to a knowledgeable operator. Fifteen minutes doesn't represent a grace period but a reasonable amount of time where conditions can be assessed and classification can occur. Events that already have a built-in time frame (fire, losing offsite power) must be declared as soon as that timeframe is exceeded or when it becomes evident that the conditions will be exceeded.
Note for Tables 3-2 through 3-4 The
- indicators, valve numbers etc., indicates the placement of 3 or 4 e.g., TI-*-465 is TI-3-465 for Unit 3 and TI-4-465 for Unit 4.

- 4. 'NOTIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION This section describes the procedures and methods established for notification and follow-up communications within Florida Power & Light Company, and from Florida Power & Light Company to the appropriate State, County, and Federal response organizations. Section 4.6, Communications Equipment, describes the referenced systems in more detail. Figure 1-2 shows the initial notification flow. Table 4-1 presents the organizational positions and alternates responsible for ensuring the manning of communications links for the primary response organizations.
4.1 FPL Emergency Response Organization The FPL Emergency Coordinator or Recovery Manager acting in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures has the responsibility for making the necessary notifications and communications, and for determining the content of the notification. However, actual contacts may be made by designated communications assistants. The use of the phrase "Emergency Coordinator" below is also defined as "Emergency Coordinator or designee", except for those items described in Section 2.2.2.1 which cannot be delegated.
Once the EOF is declared operational, the Recovery Manager assumes the responsibility for notification to off-site governmental agencies.
4.1.1 Initial Notification Florida Power & Light Company emergency procedures call for the following actions for initial notification within the FPL organization.
Personnel detecting a potentially significant off-normal event or condition should report it to the Shift Manager by the fastest means available. This may mean face-to-face communication, the Plant Public Address System, or the commercial (Bell) telephone system. These systems provide adequate means of redundancy_for this initial notification.
The following information should be related to the extent possible:
- 1) Nature of off-normal event (fire, pipe rupture, etc.)
- 2) Extent of damage to equipment
- 3) Location of event
- 4) Personnel injuries
- 5) Name of individual reporting the event The Shift Manager directs the investigative actions to address the off-normal event. After investigation, the Shift Manager classifies the event and, if it is determined to be an Unusual Event, Alert, a Site Area Emergency, or a General Emergency, implements this Emergency Plan and becomes the Emergency Coordinator.
4-1 W2010/*5/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
If necessary, the Emergency Coordinator notifies plant personnel of the emergency situation and any required protective actions via the Plant Public Address System. Activation of FPL Personnel proceeds to the degree necessary, as determined by the Emergency Coordinator (EC) and Recovery Manager (RM) in response to the severity of the emergency.
The Emergency Coordinator will relay information to the Recovery Manager (RM), this may be done via the Duty Call Supervisor. The DCS notifies the RM and appropriate emergency response personnel by commercial telephone, cellular phone, or beeper.
The Emergency Coordinator provides the following information to the DCS to the extent possible:
o Type of accident or incident o Affected unit o Assessment of the emergency condition (including the class of emergency) o Information on personnel injuries, and an estimate of personnel radiation exposures o Offsite support already called in and/or required o An estimate of the magnitude of a radioactive material release and the area possibly affected o Actions already taken or recommended with respect to the evacuation of various on-site areas o Wind speed and direction o Assessment of potential radiation exposure to persons offsite and any protective actions for offsite areas recommended 4.1.2 Communications Initially, communications between the Emergency Coordinator (in the Control Room) and the FPL Expanded Emergency Response Organization are by telephone, with radio as the backup.
4-2 W2010/*5/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
Follow-up messages regarding the plant status and requests for on-site support by off-site organizations will be made periodically and as needed by the EC to the RM. Recommendations for off-site protective measures to DEM may be included as part of follow-up messages. These measures are referenced in Figure 5-1.
4.2 State Agencies State of Florida notification and communications procedures are presented in the Florida Radiological Emergency Management Plan for Nuclear Power Plants. File locations are listed in Appendix A.
4.2.1 Division of Emergency Management Initial Notification FPL's Emergency Coordinator will make initial notification within approximately 15 minutes of declaring any emergency to the Division of Emergency Management via the Hot Ring Down Telephone System to the State Watch Office Duty Officer at the State Watch Office in Tallahassee. Commercial telephone and EMNET (Satellite Communications System) serve as the backup systems for initial notification. Backup phone numbers for 24-hour per day notification are provided by procedure.
Information to be communicated to DEM during the initial notification is shown in the State of Florida Notification Message Form, Table 4-2. The listed information will be provided to the extent possible at the time of riotification. Information that should be included in follow-up messages is also shown in Table 4-2. The follow-up message may come from the TSC staff, if it is operational, or the EO F, if it is operational.
The initial notification may be brief with certain information not available. Follow-up messages from the Emergency Coordinator/RM to the Division of Emergency Management (DEM) will include the required information as it becomes available.
The Division of Emergency Management (DEM) has established a procedure to authenticate emergency notification from the Turkey Point Plant. The Hot Ring Down and EMNET Systems are restricted circuits under control of DEM and local government. Their use is self-authenticating.
Communications The Emergency Coordinator/RM will maintain periodic contact with the State Watch Office, located at the State EOC in Tallahassee, via the Hot Ring Down network.
FPL responsibility for communication with off-site State and Local government agencies is transferred from the Emergency Coordinator to the Recovery Manager when the Recovery Manager declares the EOF operational.

- 5. RESPONSE TO ACCIDENT CONDITIONS Appendix D identifies a spectrum of off-normal events and classifies those events into four categories. The classification is based on Emergency Action Levels which are related to the instrument readings, and/or observations, of plant conditions as shown in the tables. This section discusses the assessment of and response to these events.
5.1 Accident Assessment Once an off-normal event has been detected and classified in accordance with the Emergency Action Levels, a process of continuing assessment will be initiated. System instruments and procedures which would be used, as appropriate, in the assessment process are described below.
Specifications of instrumentation utilized for accident assessment are contained in procedures.
Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and Severe Accident Management Guidance (SAMG) should be used as required. Post accident sampling capabilities are also described in procedures.
5.1.1 Plant Release Pathways The Turkey Point Plant is provided with systems for measuring radioactivity at potential effluent release points and within the primary Containment Buildings (See Table 3-2). The principal release point is the plant vent. The following systems may be sources of radiological effluent through the plant vent: -
o Containment Purge System (both containments) o Gas decay tanks o Auxiliary Building Ventilation System o Unit 4 Spent Fuel Pit Ventilation o Radwaste Building Ventilation System o Cask Handling Facility Unit 4 o Steam Jet Air Ejector Vent System (Both Units)
The plant vent monitor readings are available in the Control Room. In addition to the noble gas monitor(s), cartridges for analysis of particulates and iodine are included in the Plant Vent Radiation Monitoring System. These cartridges would be removed and analyzed using a multichannel analyzer.
5-1 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
The Unit 3 spent fuel pit area and Unit 3 Cask Handling Facility are separately vented. The exhaust flow is monitored for noble gases, particulates, and iodine. Noble gas monitors provide continuous indication of concentration. Special cartridges provided as part of the system are removed for multichannel analyses to determine particulate and iodine emissions.
The Steam Jet Air Ejector Exhaust Systems are provided with gross radioactivity monitors.
These monitors would provide early indication of primary to secondary leakage.
The steam dump/safety exhausts are monitored for gross radioactivity. Particulate and iodine concentrations will be determined by analysis of grab samples from the main steam sample lines.
Steam generator blowdowns are monitored for gross activity. Continuous readout is provided in the Control Room.
In addition to these effluent monitors, the plant is provided with an Area Radiation Monitoring System (See Table 3-3). This monitoring system employs detectors distributed throughout the plant, and detector indicators are provided locally and in the Control Room. The Area Radiation Monitoring System provides early indication of a release of radioactivity within the plant.
Also, the plant has a system of fire detectors with appropriate alarms in the Control Room to provide warning of a fire emergency.
5.1.2 On-site Sampling Resources The capability is available at the Turkey Point Plant to obtain grab samples of the reactor containment atmosphere, the reactor coolant, and the containment sump.
To obtain grab samples of the containment atmosphere following an accident, a special removable gas sampling vessel is used in the existing containment sampling system. The removable vessel would be transported in a shielded container to the plant laboratory. At the laboratory, a portion of the gas would be drawn from the vessel, and the radioisotopic content determined by appropriate analytical techniques. Plant procedures provide instructions for sample acquisition, transportation, and analysis.
5-2 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
Reactor coolant and containment sump grab samples can also be taken following an accident.
Details regarding sample acquisition, transportation, and analysis are described in plant procedures.
Air samples will be collected using portable air samplers in accordance with a plant procedure.
Portable air samplers are located such that time required to obtain results is minimized for critically manned areas (e.g., Control Room, Technical Support Center). Silver zeolite sample cartridges are stored on site. To preclude interferences by noble gas adsorption, only silver zeolite cartridges will initially be used to sample critically manned areas (e.g., Control Room, Technical Support Center, other areas which require personnel t6 be present). Collected samples will be transported promptly to the lab. If necessary, an alternate location will be established using portable equipment in a low background area outside the Radiation Controlled Area.
Samples are to be analyzed in accordance with approved procedures.
5.1.3 Meteorological Systems Meteorological data is required to make estimates of off-site radiation exposure in the event of a release of gaseous radioactivity. Measurement of three meteorological parameters are required to make estimates of atmospheric dispersion, an essential part of a radiation exposure calculation. The parameters are wind speed, wind direction, and a measure of atmospheric stability.
Meteorological data is collected at the Turkey Point Land Management Site 10 meter tower (1.2 miles southwest), the South Dade Site 60 meter tower (7 miles southwest) or obtained directly from the National Weather Service in Miami. Table 5-1 summarizes the available data.
Data which represents primary and backup sources are summarized on Table 5-2.
As indicated in Table 5-1, values of the key meteorological parameters are provided for the Turkey Point Plant and South Dade Site meteorological installations. These readouts are provided continuously, and the data is directly available at the Control Room, Technical Support Center (TSC), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) via Distributed Control System (DCS). .
Meteorological data is provided to the State via initial and follow-up communications utilizing Table 4-2, as well as response to direct inquiries from DEM and Florida Health Bureau of Radiation Control (FH - BRC). The EOF and NRC can receive timely meteorological information through the TSC, upon request or through DCS.
5-3 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
5.1.4 Source Term and Release Determination As discussed in Section 5.1.3 certain meteorological parameters are required for the calculation of off-site radiation exposure from airborne releases. Additional essential pieces of information are the rate of release and isotopic composition of the released radioactivity. If radioactivity were released from a monitored vent, then a direct measure of the release rate would be available. Monitored release points are discussed in Section 5 .1.1. Based upon certain assumptions, *release rate can be determined using O-EPIP-20126, Off-Site Dose Calculations -
Manual Method or O-EPIP-20125, Off-Site Dose Assessment Using the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI), for all monitored release points and grab samples.
In event of a loss of coolant accident, the containment radiation monitors would provide the first indication of the magnitude or existence of radioactivity in the containment. These monitors can be used to determine the concentration of radionuclides based upon the isotopic mixes assumed for the accident described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). Additional information about the isotopic composition of the airborne radioactivity would be derived from isotopic analysis of a containment atmosphere sample.
Procedures have been developed to assist the plant staff in estimating release rates and isotopic content for releases from the various plant vents.
5 .1.5 Exposure and Dose Rate Determination One of the uses of radiation monitors and meteorological instrumentation is the estimation of off-site radiation exposures. An estimate of doses is needed so that responsible governmental agencies can use this information to plan protective action.
O-EPIP-20126, Off-site Dose Calculations - Manual Method or O-EPIP-20125, Off-Site Dose Assessment Using the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI), provides the details of how initial dose estimates are determined. In particular, current meteorological data, process monitor data, and containment high range radiation monitor readings are used in conjunction with tables for estimating doses under actual conditions. Dose calculations will be updated periodically during the course of the accident and the result will be provided to State and County authorities for their use in evaluating the need for protective action. Figure 5-1 presents the protective action guides to be used for making recommendations. These are consistent with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Initial dose calculations are performed by the chemistry representative who is dispatched to the Control Room at the onset of the accident.
Refined dose estimates would be prepared by the Chemistry Department personnel reporting to the TSC or by personnel in the Emergency Operations Facility (if operational) using available tables and/or an interactive computer program which presents results and protective action recommendations in a tabular format. Default values based on the FSAR have been established and can be utilized if assessment instrumentation is not available (offscale or inoperable) and field sample analysis has not yet been completed.

Field Monitoring - State The State Plan discusses the State role in accident assessment. It describes agencies and their missions, specialized personnel, special equipment, and other matters related to field monitoring within the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The State Plan also discusses, in further detail, the capability and resources for field monitoring.
Field team compositions, transportation, communications, equipment and estimated deployment times are included in the State Plan.
Transportation of field teams is also discussed in the State Plan. Field team communications are described in the State Plan, as well as monitoring equipment, composition of field teams and deployment times.
County Plans also discuss accident assessment. For example, the Miami-Dade County Plan indicates that the County Health Department Director will cooperate with Florida Health Bureau of Radiation Control with respect to accident assessment procedures. The County Plan also indicates that the Miami-Dade County Office of Emergency Management will be involved in assessment activities as well.
The State Plan discusses the measurement of iodine in air, and the use of such measurements in assessment activities.
5-9 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
Field Monitoring - Plant Plant procedures- provide guidance for activation of emergency field monitoring teams, dispatching these teams throughout the plume EPZ and communications. Equipment and instrumentation is maintained for two off-site monitoring teams. Equipment and instrumentation is maintained in the OSC for numerous on-site monitoring teams. The equipment includes air samplers, filters, silver zeolite cartridges, sample bags, forms, log books, phone lists, maps, and procedure packs. Instrumentation includes single channel gamma analyzer (sodium iodide crystal type) with the capability of detecting radioiodine concentrations of at least 10-7 microcuries/cc in the field. Other instrumentation includes ion chamber survey monitors and high range gamma monitors. Communications will be maintained with the TSC Radiation Protection Supervisor by portable two-way radios or cellular telephones. Plant procedures also include information on sampling techniques, measurement of airborne concentrations of radioiodine, direct radiation dose rates, transportation of teams, expected deployment times, and communications.
Coordination of Sampling Data To assure that information concerning FPL off-site radiological assessment is exchanged, arrangements have been made for Florida Health Bureau of Radiation Control (FH - BRC) representatives to be stationed at the EOF. Direction and control of field operations for the FH -
BRC will be provided by the State Health Physics Supervisor, who will conduct/supervise accident assessment and response of the field teams from a post at the EOF. Office space and communications are provided therein and have been described in Emergency Plan Implement Procedures. Prior to the arrival of FH - BRC personnel, coordination of this information will be through follow-up communications with DEM and the Plume Exposure EPZ counties.
DOE off-site monitoring assistance, if required, will be requested by the DEM in consultation with FH - BRC. Lead responsibility for coordination with Department of Energy (DOE) is assigned to FH - BRC.

5.2 Protective Response This section describes the protective actions on site, and the data provided to assist the State and County in determining appropriate off-site protective actions.
5.2.1 Protective Actions On-site On-site protective actions for a radiological emergency consist of evacuation of the affected area (localized evacuation or site evacuation), monitoring of all personnel who were in the affected area, and decontamination as required.
Individuals remaining or arriving on site during an emergency will be provided protective equipment as prescribed by the TSC Radiation Protection Supervisor, the OSC RP Supervisor, and plant procedures. Florida Power and Light Company will make Potassium Iodide (KI) available for use as a thyroid blocking agent. Use of KI will be in accordance with plant procedures.
Control Room personnel are in an isolated environment and need protective equipment to leave the Control Room or if the Control Room becomes contaminated. An emergency kit with all necessary equipment is present inside the Control Room and is to be used for this purpose.
Onsite protection of employees during hostile action involves a combination of restricted movement, movement to safe locations, and site evacuation depending on the nature of the hostile event and advance warning. Site procedures provide specific actions to take during hostile action based events.
Decontamination Personnel decontamination facilities are available in four locations. Their use will be governed by the nature of the incident.
- 1) FPL Dress Out Building - Showers and sinks available for the decontamination of personnel with no (or minor) injuries.
- 2) Baptist Hospital of Miami - Decontamination shower and contaminated injury treatment room. For interim use to treat severely injured personnel. Located approximately 30 miles north of the Turkey Point Plant.
- 3) Mercy Hospital - Contaminated Injury Treatment Room. For interim use to treat severely injured personnel. Located approximately 30 miles north of Turkey Point Plant.
- 4) Decontamination Facility - The Florida City Substation has personnel decontamination capabilities available.
Vehicles will be decontaminated with the use of Miami-Dade County Fire Department equipment.
Extra clothing for personnel whose personal clothing has become contaminated is available in the form of disposable garments.
5-11 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
Contamination monitoring is performed through the use of count rate instruments with beta-gamma sensitive probes.
Methods for decontamination and monitoring are described in plant procedures. Contamination monitors and procedures are adequate for assessing potentially contaminated wounds either on site or at the decontamination facility.
Off-site Off-site areas are the responsibility of the respective County Emergency response agencies, the Florida Health Bureau of Radiation Control (FH - BRC) and the Division of Emergency Management of the State of Florida. Control of radioactive contamination and public safety in off-site areas are responsibilities of these governmental agencies, and their criteria for implementing protective actions may be found in the Florida Radiological Emergency Plan for Nuclear Power Plants (see Appendix A). Decontamination of off-site areas will be performed under the direction of the FH - BRC.
The State Plan discusses evacuation time estimates and their use in determining protective actions.
FPL will perform an evacuation time estimate update using the guidance in NUREG/CR7002 and the requirements in 10CFR50, Appendix E, Sections IV.3 and IV.4. FPL will work with the Miami-Dade, Monroe County, and the State of Florida to formulate and maintain a protective action strategy using the applicable portions of NUREG 0654 Supp III.
The Miami-Dade County Plan and the Monroe County Plan also discuss evacuation times.
Recommendations for protective actions will be made by the Emergency Coordinator (or RM if EOF is operational) using Figure 5-1. The development of this figure was based upon consideration of the severity of an accident (emergency class) and, when actual or estimated off-site doses are available, the EPA Protective Action Guides in conjunction with plant, conditions.
5.2.2 Owner Controlled Area Warning and Response During an emergency, the relocation of persons may be required in order to prevent or minimize exposure to radioactive materials. An evacuation is the orderly, rapid, and safe withdrawal of all personnel from an area affected by an emergency condition.
Evacuation Evacuation is the primary protective measure anticipated for personnel within the Protected Area not filling Emergency Response Organization positions. Contractors not having an emergency response function and visitors are normally evacuated at the Alert or higher classification.
Evacuation of all other non-essential personnel, including personnel not required for the shutdown of the fossil units, occurs at the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency.
However, the Emergency Coordinator shall use good judgment prior to moving personnel from the Owner Controlled Area.
5-12 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
Conditions such as security events, release status, release duration, plant conditions and meteorological conditions should be evaluated.
Owner Controlled Areas outside the Protected Area are evacuated, if conditions warrant, of all non-FPL personnel at an Alert or higher emergency classification. Security is responsible for evacuation implementation per applicable EPIPs and SFis while the Emergency Coordinator is responsible for the decision to evacuate.
Local Area Evacuations are performed as required for specific areas of the site experiencing hazardous conditions (fire, radiological, toxic gas, etc.). At a minimum, an announcement over the Public Address system will be made, ordering the Local Area Evacuation. Personnel in or around the affected area are instructed to stay clear.
Accountability At the declaration of a Site Evacuation (usually Site Area Emergency or General Emergency), all non-essential personnel are evacuated. All individuals in the Protected Area are accounted for and names of personnel not accounted for are established within 30 minutes of the initiation of the Site Evacuation. Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the event Upon notification that personnel are missing, the Emergency Coordinator shall ensure that Search and Rescue Operations are initiated. Accountability is coordinated by the TSC Security Supervisor and the results are forwarded to the Emergency Coordinator.

5.2.3 Off-site Area Protective Measures An off-site area evacuation is the orderly withdrawal of all persons from the portion of the public areas surrounding the plant which have been affected by the emergency. The criteria for the initiation of the evacuation are determined by the Florida Health Bureau of Radiation Control as specified in the State of Florida Radiological Emergency Plan. The State Plan describes evacuation measures and provides maps indicating designated evacuation routes.
The Emergency Coordinator (RM when EOF is operational) will recommend off-site protective actions based upon the criteria shown in Figure 5-1.
The Miami-Dade and Monroe County Emergency Response Directors and the State Division of Emergency Management will be responsible for the direction and implementation of the necessary protective actions ~s specified in the Florida Radiological Emergency Management Plan for Nuclear Power Plants, including notification and coordination with other State and Local assistance agencies.
The State Plan describes the bases for the choice of recommended actions for the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ during emergency conditions.
It will be the responsibility of the Miami-Dade and Monroe County Emergency Response agencies to notify the general public if an evacuation is warranted. This will be accomplished as discussed in Sections 5.2.4 and 5.2.8.
Figure 5-3 is a map of the Miami-Dade and Monroe Country Evacuation Routes. Descriptions of I evacuation routes, monitoring points, and reception centers are provided in the State Plan.
The Emergency Classification System used by the State includes certain actions which are automatically triggered upon the occurrence of designated emergency classifications. These are discussed in the State Plan. Other protective action decisions are made on the basis of information which becomes available as a result of accident assessment. Assessment actions which would form a basis for recommendations are discussed in the State Plan. The State and County Plans point out that EPA Protective Action Guides will be an important basis for Protective Action Recommendations (PARs).
The Bureau of Radiation Control Standard Operating Procedures discuss the process by which State officials collect information and make recommendations. The Bureau of Radiation Control Standard Operating Procedures also discuss assessment actions which would form a basis for recommendations.
The Evacuation Time Estimate has been developed for the Turkey Point plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone (EPZ) using NUREG/CR-7002. Updates will be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV.
5-16 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
5.2.4 Public Warning and Information The State Plan, provides information on warning of the public and discusses warning procedures for Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Prompt notification systems are discussed therein. FPL has purchased and installed an alert (siren) and notification system as described in Section 5.2.8.
Notification to the population and arrangements with public communications media are described in the State Plan. The State Plan provides the guidance for keeping the public informed about the potential hazards, emergency response, and protective measures that can be taken to minimize or avoid public health effects. The State Plan also provides procedures for the timely and accurate collection, coordination, and dissemination to the public of such information.
Information releases will be coordinated with Federal and Local agencies.
Means of providing notification to the general public will include the activation of the Public Notification System, which may include existing outdoor siren systems, the Emergency Alert System, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Very High Frequency Radio Network, participating local radio and television stations, and route alerting.
The State Plan also provides for releases to be used for media. These are consistent with FPL's classification scheme. These are examples of specific prior arrangements that have been made to use public communication media for issuing emergency instructions to the public. The State Plan discusses annual orientation of the media. The State Plan also indicates TV and radio stations which would be used to alert the public.
5.2.5 Population Exposure Estimates Population exposure estimates are discussed in the State Plan. Bureau of Radiation Control Standard Operating Procedures discuss the projected dose calculation process and assessment and monitoring in the Ingestion Exposure Pathway EPZ - Bureau of Radiation Control Standard Operating Procedures are used to determine dose rates.
5.2.6 Special Need Populations The State Plan contains a discussion of evacuation of special needs populations.
5.2.7 Population Distribution The State Plan includes maps and tables showing population distribution. The State Plan also described the means for notifying transient and resident population.

5.2.8 Alert and Notification System (ANS)
An alert and notification system has been installed and will be used by the Miami-Dade and Monroe County Emergency Response Directors for alerting the population of the need to possibly take protective actions. This system consists of a network of 45 rotating and directional Whelen pole mounted sirens, WPS 3000 and WPS 4000 or approved equivalent. The WPS 4000 and WPS 3000 sirens are certified with a Sound Propagation Level (SPL) of 123 dBc at 100 ft.
The siren system has been designed to provide the necessary SPL coverage as defined by NUREG-0654 I FEMA REP- I. In addition to the pole mounted sirens, there area two (2)
Whelen IPS-400 indoor (stationary) sirens installed at strategic locations.
The alerting portion of the system consists of multiple control stations located in physically diverse locations (Miami-Dade County Emergency Operation Center and Miami-Dade County 9-1-1 Center) with two radio repeaters, each able to generate the signal to activate and operate the individual sirens located throughout the community. The notification portion of the system consists of multiple Emergency Alerting System stations typically a master and satellite or slave stations enabling full coverage of the area. These electronic sirens have the public address capability for voice messages. Upon sounding the sirens, the affected public, keyed through the public information program, would turn on their radios to the local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio station and await emergency information.
In the unlikely event that a siren would fail to activate the State of Florida Radiological Emergency Plan, and Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties maintain the capacity to perform backup route alerting.
Backup Alert and Notification System for Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant is achieved through physical route alerting, which is contained in the Radiological Emergency Response Plans and procedures for the State of Florida and offsite response organizations in the EPZ that have been approved by FEMA in accordance with Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 44 CFR350.12 and 14.
5-19 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
5.3 Radiological Exposure Control 5.3.1 On-Site Radiation Protection Program An objective of emergency response is to minimize radiation exposure to individuals both on site and off site. Situations may arise, however, when observance of this goal is inconsistent with personnel or plant safety. In anticipation of such needs, guidelines have been established for emergency conditions. The guidelines on which the emergency radiation protection program is based are stated below.
Exposure to emergency response personnel should be maintained As Low As Reasonable Achievable (ALARA). Actions taken during an emergency should take into consideration the amount of exposure required to accomplish the task versus the potential benefit to the public health and safety.
Conditions may warrant re-entry into high radiation areas leading to exposure in excess of the regulatory limit. Except for rescue of personnel (life-saving only), authorization must be given in advance by the Emergency Coordinator (EC). If time permits, the EC should obtain concurrence from the Recovery Manager (if the EOF is operational). In any case where regulatory limits have been exceeded, the EC shall notify the RM of the event.
For those remote circumstances involving an event in progress, and obtaining EC approval will result in leaving the accident scene or decrease the victim(s) chance of survival, life-saving actions may be performed without obtaining EC approval. The EC shall be notified immediately following the rescue operation.
Re-entry personnel that have been selected/chosen to exceed regulatory exposure limits should be volunteers, broadly familiar with the risks involved (radiosensitivity of fetuses, effects of acute exposures, etc.), and whose normal duties have trained them for such missions.
EPA 400, Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, EPA 400-R-92-001 (10/91) states that, "To assure adequate protection of minors and the unborn during emergencies, the performance of emergency services should be limited to non-pregnant adults". FPL endorses this guidance, however, FPL recognizes that it is the right of the worker to make the decision to perform as an on-site emergency worker, understanding the potential risks involved.
5-20 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
For the following missions,Cl) TOTAL D0SE(2) THYROID(3) the exposure limit is: (TEDE) (CDE)
Performance of actions that would 5REM 50REM not directly mitigate the event, minimize escalation, or minimize effluent releases.

(Volunteers should be above the age of 45.)(4)
I NOTES I 1. Both Total Dose (TEDE) and Thyroid Dose (COE) should be used for purposes of I 1 controlling exposure. 1 I 2. Protective clothing, including respirators should be used where appropriate.
I (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 dose 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).
5-21 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
(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) and/or Thyroid Dose (CDE) dose has been established because it is not possible to pre-judge the risks that one person should be allowed to take to save the life of another. Also, no specific limit is given for the thyroid since in the extreme case, complete thyroid loss might be 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.
5.3.2 Dose Records FPL Nuclear Division procedures provide for conducting the personal dosimetry program. The company has the capability of determining personnel radiation exposures on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day basis. Dose records for all individuals exposed to ionizing radiation at FPL's facilities are maintained.
All emergency response personnel under the authority of FPL who potentially will be exposed to radiation in the course of their duties will be monitored by the plant radiation exposure monitoring program.
Because emergency exposures requiring immediate action are not planned, they are not controlled as a Planned Special Exposure. Dose received from exposure under emergency conditions will be added to the dose received during the current year, prior to the emergency, to determine compliance with the occupational dose limits in 10 CFR 20.
Doses above regulatory limits will require reporting pursuant to 10 CFR 20.2202 and 20.2203.
Any dose in excess of the annual limits specified in Section 20.120l(a) will be accounted for in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1206(e). If an individual exceeds any of these limits, then that individual will not be available for additional dose under 20.1201 (a).
5-22 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev.64
5.3.3 Contamination Control and Decontamination Procedures A personnel decontamination washroom and shower room with chemical decontamination agents is provided in the FPL Dress Out Building. Except in cases of serious injury, accepted decontamination practices will be employed on site. Life endangering injuries such as extensive bums, serious wounds, or fractures shall receive prompt attention in preference to decontamination. Personnel with injuries involving radiation or radioactive contamination will be handled by the Emergency Room at Baptist Hospital or Mercy Hospital. Plant Radiation Protection procedures specify that decontamination of uninjured personnel must be attempted at contamination levels greater than minimum detectable activity as defined in Radiation Protection procedures.
Food for emergency workers would be brought in from off site, if necessary. Frequent surveys of habitable areas utilized during emergency response (i.e., Control Room, OSC, TSC, and Guardhouses) will be performed to assure that these areas remain uncontaminated and tenable.
Specifically, special attention to drinking water and food supplies will be given to assure that these supplies remain uncontaminated.
5.3.4 Radioactive Wastes Radioactive wastes (resins, trash, etc.) accumulated during an emergency will be handled by normal plant procedures. Any special circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
5.4 Recovery and Re-entry 5.4.1 On site Once the hazard potential has passed, steps must be taken to recover from the incident. All actions should be preplanned in order to limit exposures. Access to the area will be controlled and personnel exposures will be documented.
The Recovery Manager (RM)/EC has the responsibility for determining when it is appropriate to enter into the recovery phase. The Recovery Organization consists of an augmented Expanded Emergency Response Organization. The Emergency Response Managers would continue their assigned duties using additional personnel as necessary. The Recovery Manager (or EC) will evaluate the status of the plant by reviewing all current and pertinent data available from emergency response and/or monitoring teams. The recovery phase will begin only when the plant conditions are stable and the following guidelines are met:
- 1) Radiation levels in all in-plant areas are stable or decreasing with time.
- 2) Releases of radioactive materials to the environment from the plant are under control or have ceased.
5-23 W2010/*6/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
- 3) Any fire, flooding, or similar emergency conditions are controlled or have ceased.
- 4) The reactor is in a stable condition.
At the time of initiating activities to enter the recovery phase, the Recovery Manager will be responsible for informing all applicable agencies (e.g., Federal, State, and Local agencies) that on-site conditions have stabilized and activities for recovering from the incident can now begin.
Once these agencies and the EC have been infonned, the Recovery Manager has the authority to de-escalate the emergency classification.
Planned recovery actions which may result in radioactive release will be evaluated by the Recovery Manager and the EOF staff in advance. Such planning and data pertaining to the possible release will be reported to the appropriate off-site emergency response organization and agencies.
Re-entry into an affected area may be required before entering the recovery phase. Re-entry into an evacuated area will be made by the Emergency Response Organization personnel when required for one or more of the following reasons:
- 1) To ascertain that all personnel who were in the affected area have been evacuated, or to search for unaccounted personnel.
- 2) To assist in evacuating injured or incapacitated personnel from the affected area.
- 3) To perform operations which may mitigate the effect of the emergency or hazardous condition.
- 4) To determine the nature and extent of the emergency and/or radiological conditions.
- 5) to establish personnel exclusion area boundaries.
Re-entry will take place only under the authority of the Emergency Coordinator/RM. The OSC Supervisor is responsible for evaluating the existing emergency conditions and informing the Emergency Coordinator via the OSC of the advisability of re-entry.

- 7. MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 7.1 Exercises and Drills 7.1.1 Definitions An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability of a major portion of the basic elements existing within the FPL Emergency Response Organization. An exercise normally includes mobilization of State and Local governmental personnel and resources adequate to verify the capability to respond to an accident scenario.
A drill is a supervised instruction period aimed at testing, developing, and maintaining skills in a particular operation. A drill is often a component of an exercise. A drill should be evaluated by the supervisory personnel conducting the drill.
7.1.2 Purpose Periodic exercises and drills will be conducted in order to test the state of emergency preparedness of participating personnel, organizations, and agencies. Each exercise or drill will be conducted to:
- 1) Ensure that participants are familiar with their respective duties and responsibilities.
- 2) Verify the adequacy of the Emergency Plan and emergency procedures.
- 3) Test the communications network and systems.
- 4) Check the availability of emergency supplies and equipment.
- 5) Verify the operability of emergency equipment.
The results of the exercises will form the basis for prescribing action to eliminate identified deficiencies.
7.1.3 Planning The Site Functional Area Manager (SF AM) - Emergency Preparedness Manager, will be responsible for the planning, scheduling, and coordinating of all emergency drills or exercises involving off-site agencies. A sample format for drill and exercise scenarios appears as Table 7-1. All exercises and drills involving the plant are subject to the approval of Plant Management.
7-1 W2010/*8/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
When an exercise is to be conducted, the SFAM, Emergency Preparedness, in coordination with plant management, will:
- 1) Schedule a date for the exercise in coordination with the Primary State and County Emergency Response agencies.
- 2) Obtain the approval of the Plant General Manager.
- 3) Coordinate all FPL efforts with other participating personnel, organizations, and agencies.
- 4) Offer Federal, State, and Local officials the opportunity to observe the exercise.
- 5) Assign personnel to prepare a scenario.
- 6) Assign controllers, evaluators, and observers.
- 7) Discuss and evaluate the exercise with observers and principal participants.
- 8) Review evaluations of the exercise or drill with the Plant Nuclear Safety Committee through distribution of critique report.
- 9) Ensure that deficiencies which are identified are addressed with corrective measures.
- 10) Prepare and submit documentation in accordance with plant procedures.
The SFAM, Emergency Preparedness, may delegate any of these responsibilities to the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator as deemed necessary. The SFAM, Emergency Preparedness, shall retain oversight and accountability.
These exercises and drills will simulate emergency conditions and may be scheduled such that two or more exercises or drills are conducted simultaneously. The SPAM, Emergency Preparedness, will normally notify the off-site emergency response organizations and agencies at least 30 days in advance of the scheduled date of an exercise.
7-2 W2010/*8/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
7.1.4 Conduct of Exercises, Drills, and Tests 7 .1.4.1 Exercises {Integrated Drills)
A major radiological emergency response exercise will be conducted at least once every two calendar years to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan. Any exercise that will provide for the coordination with and participation of off-site emergency response personnel, organizations, and agencies including those of Federal, State, and Local governments should escalate to adequately test the response capabilities of the organizations involved.
The emergency scenario will be varied from year to year such that all major elements of the plan are tested at least every six years. Drills and exercises will be conducted in a manner to provide realistic and challenging scenarios to the Emergency Response Organization.
During the interval between biennial exercises, adequate emergency response capabilities will be maintained by conducting drills, including at least one exercise involving a combination of some of the principal functional areas of emergency response capabilities. The principal functional areas of emergency response include activities such as management and coordination of emergency response, accident assessment, protective action decision-making, and plant system repair and corrective actions.
During this off-year exercise, activation of all of the emergency response facilities (TSC, OSC, EOF) would not be necessary, there would be an opportunity to consider accident management strategies, supervised instruction would be permitted, operating staff would have the opportunity to resolve problems (success paths) rather than have controllers intervene, and the drills could focus on on-site training objectives.
Upon completion of the hostile action based exercise in 2015, FPL will implement an exercise cycle of eight years Where key functions will be demonstrated by members of the ERO. During that cycle, the following exercises will be evaluated by the NRC and FEMA.
- 1) Hostile Action
- 2) Ingestion pathway
- 3) No or minimal release
These requirements may be combined where appropriate.
7-3 W2010/*8/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
The major elements that should be tested every 6 years include, but are not limited to:
- Off hours staffing (6 P.M. - 4 A.M.), weekends, holidays
- Activation of Joint Information Center
- Use of fire control teams
- Use of medical support personnel
- Use of security personnel for prompt access to emergency equipment or support
- Use of one or more portions of backup communications for notification
- Field monitoring
- Capability for determining the magnitude and impact of the particular components of a release
- Capability for post-accident coolant and sampling analysis
- Assembly and accountability
- Recovery and reentry 7-4 W2010/*8/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64

7 .1.4.2 Radiological Monitoring Drill A radiological monitoring drill will be conducted at least once every calendar year. These drills will include collection and analysis of air sample media and analysis of direct radiation surveys. As an integral part of this annual drill, communications and the understanding of messages between the off-site monitoring team(s) and the TSC Off-site Team Leader in the TSC will be tested. The Radiation Protection Department will conduct Radiation Protection drills semiannually and one of the semiannual drills may be incorporated into the radiological monitoring drill.
As indicated in the State Plan, off-site radiological monitoring drills will be conducted annually, and these drills will involve the collection of sample media (e.g., water, grass, soil, and air).
7.1.4.3 Medical Emergency Drill A medical emergency drill involving a simulated contaminated individual, with provisions for participation by local support services (i.e., ambulance and off-site medical treatment facility),
will be conducted at least once every calendar year. Participation by local support services (i.e., ambulance and off-site medical treatment facility), may be tested separately or as part of the annual medical drill.
7.1.4.4 Fire Emergency Drill Fire drills are conducted in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, to test the operational readiness (personnel, equipment, and procedures) to control and extinguish a fire at the site.
The drills also serve to evaluate and document the response of on-site personnel and participating off-site agencies to varying fire situations. The communication links and
. notification procedures are tested at least semiannually during fire emergency drills. A post-drill critique is held after each fire drill is completed to identify possible areas for improvement in equipment and/or procedures.
7.1.4.5 Communications Tests and Drills Communications with State and Local governments within the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) will be tested monthly. Communications with the NRC via the Emergency Notification System (ENS) will be tested monthly. On an annual basis, communications to the State EOC and Miami-Dade and Monroe County EOCs will be tested.
As part of the annual test certain information will be exchanged. It will be determined whether or not the content of the drill messages are understood. The annual drill may be performed as part of the annual exercise:
7-6 W2010/*8/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
As indicated in the State Plan, the State conducts communication drills at least annually. These drills include "communications between the nuclear power plants, State, and Local EOCs and field assessment teams ... ". The State Plan also indicates the equipment tested during drills.
7.1.4.6 Unannounced Drills At least one communications drill per year will be unannounced. This unannounced drill will include notification to primary off-site response agencies (i.e., DEM, Florida Health Bureau of Radiation Control, County Emergency Management agencies) and those FPL emergency response personnel required to be notified based upon the drill scenario. The unannounced communication drill may coincide with an exercise or an actual Emergency Plan Activation.
Since the exercise scenarios are held confidential; fire, medical, evacuation, communication, and accountability drills, conducted in conjunction with an annual exercise are unannounced .
(actual time and specific details of the simulated events are not released).
7.1.4.7 Augmentation Drills: Augmentation drills serve to demonstrate the capability of the process to augment the on-shift staff in a short period after declaration of an emergency. These drills are conducted using the following methods:
- The station will initiate an unannounced off-hours ERO augmentation drill where no actual travel is required. This drill can be conducted independent of, or in conjunction with, a station drill.
- At least once per drill cycle (every 8 years), an off-hours unannounced activation of the ERO Notification System with actual response to the emergency facilities is conducted.
- Off-hours is defined as between 6:00 pm and 4:00 am. Weekends and holidays are also considered off-hour periods.
7.1.5 Evaluation During drills and exercises, controllers may make on-the-spot corrections to actions taken by drill participants that might affect the planned outcome (objective) of the drill. Minor errors in procedures or techniques will be noted and discussed during the post-drill evaluation.
Following an exercise; the SFAM, Emergency Preparedness, or designee, the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, Turkey Point Plant management, FPL controllers/evaluators, and principal participants in the exercise will meet to discuss and evaluate the exercise.
The evaluation should be based on the ability of participants to follow emergency procedures, the adequacy of emergency procedures, and the adequacy of emergency equipment and supplies. The Emergency Preparedness Coordinator will be responsible for any necessary changes in the Plant Emergency Procedures and for recommending changes in the Emergency Plan to the SFAM, Emergency Preparedness.

APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS This Appendix includes the categories for declaring events based on initiating conditions and thresholds.
1.1 Operating Mode Applicability The plant operating mode that existed at the time that the event occurred, prior to any protective system or operator action initiated in response to the condition, is compared to the mode applicability of the EALs. If an event occurs, and a lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the emergency classification level can be declared, the emergency classification level shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred.
For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that have Cold Shutdown or Refueling for mode applicability, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during any subsequent heat-up. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in Hot Shutdown or higher.

APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS 2.0 Generic EAL Guidance This section provides generic EAL guidance based on the information gathered and reviewed by the Task Force.
2.1 Generic Arrangement The information is presented by Recognition Categories:
- R - Abnormal Rad Levels / Radiological Effluent
- C - Cold Shutdown I Refueling System Malfunction
- E - Events Related to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations
- F - Fission Product Barrier Degradation
- H - Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety
- S - System Malfunction The ICs for each of the above Recognition Categories R, C, E, H, and Sare in the order ofNOUE, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. For all Recognition Categories, an IC matrix versus emergency classification level is first shown. For Recognition Category F, the barrier-based Thresholds are presented in tables.
Each of the EAL guides in Recognition Categories R, C, E, H, and Sis structured in the following way:
- Recognition Category - As described above.
- Emergency Classification Level - NOUE, Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency.
- Initiating Condition - Generic Identification and/or Title.
- Operating Mode Applicability - These modes are defined in technical specifications.
Note that the ISFSI IC/EAL has no mode applicability.
NOTE: If an JC or Threshold includes an explicit reference to a technical specification, and the technical specification is not applicable because of operating mode, then that particular JC or Threshold is also not applicable.. However, ensure adequate documentation is provided to justify not incorporating the JC/Threshold. This documentation should provide sufficient detail to allow for an understanding of a licensee's Operating Modes and how/why the stated EAL is not applicable.
D-4 W2010/*9/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS
- Threshold Value(s) - These Thresholds are conditions and indications that were considered to meet the criteria of the IC.
- Basis - Provides information that explains the IC and Thresholds. The bases are also written to assist the personnel implementing the generic guidance into site specific procedures.
For Recognition Category F, basis information is presented in a format consistent with the Tables.
2.2 Generic Bases The generic guidance has the primary threshold for NOUEs as operation outside the safety envelope for the plant as defined by plant technical specifications, including LCOs and Action Statement Times. In addition, certain precursors of more serious events such as loss of off-site AC power and earthquakes are included in NOUE IC/EALs.
For a number of Alerts, IC/EALs are chosen based on hazards which may cause damage to plant safety functions (e.g., tornadoes, hurricanes, FIRE in VITAL AREAS) or require additional help directly (Control Room evacuation) and thus increased monitoring of the plant is warranted. The symptom-based and barrier-based IC/EALs are sufficiently anticipatory to address the results of multiple failures, regardless of whether there is or is not a common cause. Declaration of the Alert will already result in the staffing of the TSC for assistance and additional monitoring. Thus, direct escalation to the Site Area Emergency is unnecessary. Other Alerts, which have been specified, correspond to conditions that are consistent with the emergency classification level description.
The basis for declaring a Site Area Emergency and General Emergency is primarily the extent and severity of fission product barrier challenges, based on plant conditions as presently known or as can be reasonably projected.
With regard to the Hazards Recognition Category, the existence of a hazard that represents a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant is the basis ofNOUE classification. If the hazard results in VISIBLE DAMAGE to plant structures or equipment associated with safety systems, or if system performance is affected, the event may be escalated to an Alert. The reference to "duration" or to "damage" to safety systems is intended only to size the event. Consequential damage from such hazards, if observed, would be the basis for escalation to Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, by entry to System Malfunction or Fission Product Barrier IC/EALs.
D-5 W2010/*9/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS 2.3 Implementation The Classification procedure is written to classify events based on meeting the Initiating Condition (IC) and a Threshold Value (TV) for an EAL considering each Unit independently. Two IC Matrices will be used, one for Hot ICs and one for Cold ICs. The temperature criteria of the Cold Shutdown Mode determines if the unit should use the Hot or Cold Matrix.
The IC Matrices are human factored to read from left to right or top to bottom General Emergency to Notification of Unusual Event within a category or subcategory to eliminate the higher classifications before reaching a lower classification. This arrangement lessens the possibility of under-classifying a condition.
2.4 Definitions In the IC/Thresholds, selected words have been set in all capital letters. These words are defined terms having specific meanings as they relate to this document. Definitions of these terms are provided below.
AFFECTING SAFE SHUTDOWN: Event in progress has adversely affected functions that are necessary to bring the plant to and maintain it in the applicable HOT or COLD SHUTDOWN condition.
Plant condition applicability is determined by Technical Specification LCOs in *effect.
Example 1: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in HOT SHUTDOWN. HOT SHUTDOWN is achievable, but COLD SHUTDOWN is not. This event is not "AFFECTING SAFE SHUTDOWN." --..
Example 2: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in COLD SHUTDOWN. HOT SHUTDOWN is achievable, but COLD SHUTDOWN is not. This event is "AFFECTING SAFE SHUTDOWN."
BOMB: Refers to an explosive device suspected of having sufficient force to damage plant systems or structures.
CIVIL DISTURBANCE: A group of persons violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY: The barrier(s) between areas containing radioactive substances and the environment.
CONTAINMENT CLOSURE: The procedurally defined actions taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions.
EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized/energized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components.
D-6 W2010/*9/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64
APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS EXTORTION: An attempt to cause an action at the station by threat of force.
FAULTED: In a steam generator, the existence of secondary side leakage that results in an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator being completely depressurized.
FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute FIRES. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
FRESHLY OFF-LOADED REACTOR CORE IN POOL: A freshly off-loaded reactor core, in the Spent Fuel Pool, exists during the period of time when core off-load begins until core reload is complete.
HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station.
HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward a NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take HOSTAGES, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, PROJECTILEs, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e.,
this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).
HOSTILE FORCE: One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.
IMMINENT: Mitigation actions have been ineffective, additional actions are not expected to be successful, and trended information indicates that the event or condition will occur. Where IMMINENT timeframes are specified, they shall apply.
INTRUSION: A person(s) present in a specified area without authorization. Discovery of a BOMB in a specified area is indication of INTRUSION into that area by a HOSTILE FORCE.
INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI): A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage.
ISFSI PROTECTED AREA: A protected area that is located separate and apart from the normal / plant Protected Area.
NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS: Activities at the plant site associated with routine testing, maintenance, or equipment operations, in accordance with normal operating or administrative procedures. Entry into abnormal or emergency operating procedures, or deviation from normal security or radiological controls posture, is a departure from NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS.
OWNER CONTROLLED AREA: That portion of the FPL property surrounding and including the Turkey Point Plant, which is subject to limited access and control as deemed appropriate by FPL.
PROJECTILE: An object directed toward a NPP that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.
D-7 W2010/*9/cls/cls/fm Turkey Point Rev. 64 L_
APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS PROTECTED AREA: The area (within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA) occupied by the nuclear units and associated equipment and facilities enclosed within the security perimeter fence. The area within which accountability of personnel is maintained in an emergency. This does not include the ISFSI Protected Area.
RUPTURED: In a steam generator, existence of primary-to-secondary leakage of a magnitude sufficient to require or cause a reactor trip and safety injection.
- SABOTAGE: Deliberate damage, mis-alignment, or mis-operation of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment inoperable. Equipment found tampered with or damaged due to malicious mischief may not meet the definition of SABOTAGE until this determination is made by security supervision.
SECURITY CONDITION: Any Security Event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.
SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: An UNPLANNED event involving one or more of the following:
(1) automatic turbine runback greater than 25% thermal reactor power, (2) electrical load rejection greater than 25% full electrical load, (3) Reactor Trip, or (4) Safety Injection Activation.
STRIKE ACTION: A work stoppage within the PROTECTED AREA by a body of workers to enforce compliance with demands made on (site specific). The STRIKE ACTION must threaten to interrupt NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS.
UNISOLABLE: A breach or leak that cannot be promptly isolated.
UNPLANNED: A parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.
VALID: An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.
VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of the affected structure, system, or component. Example damage includes:
deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, and paint blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.
VITAL AREAS: Areas within the PROTECTED AREA, that contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

' -.s.f )
APPENDIXD TURKEY POINT EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND BASIS NOTES The logic used for these initiating conditions reflects the following considerations:
- The Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier are weighted more heavily than the Containment Barrier. NOUE ICs associated with RCS and Fuel Clad Barriers are addressed under System Malfunction ICs.
- At the Site Area Emergency level, there must be some ability to dynamically assess how far present conditions are from the threshold for a General Emergency. For example, if Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier "Loss" Thresholds existed, that, in addition to off-site dose assessments, would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and containment integrity. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier "Potential Loss" Thresholds existed, the Emergency Coordinator would have more assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.
- The ability to escalate to higher emergency classification levels as an event deteriorates must be maintained. For example, RCS leakage steadily increasing would represent an increasing risk to public health and safety.
- The Containment Barrier should not be declared lost or potentially lost based on exceeding Technical Specification action statement criteria, unless there is an event in progress requiring mitigation by the Containment barrier. When no event is in progress (Loss or Potential Loss of either Fuel Clad and/or RCS) the Containment Barrier status is addressed by Technical Specifications.
