Beaver Valley Power Station Emergency Preparedness Plan A revision to the Beaver Valley Power Station Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) was implemented on March 27, 2024. The change to the EPP was assessed under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q) and was determined not to result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the EPP. The change continues to meet the applicable planning standards established in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.

As required by 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5), this notification is being submitted within 30 days of implementation of the EPP change, and the attachment to this submittal includes a summary analysis of the change.

This submittal also satisfies the reporting requirements associated with 10 CFR 72.44{f), which stipulates that within six months after any change is made to the EPP, the licensee shall submit a report containing a description of the changes to the Director, Division of Spent Fuel Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguard s.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this submittal. If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact Ms. Hope Gilliam, Manager, Regulatory Compliance, at (724) 682-4224.

Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) Change Summary Analysis cc: NRC Region I Administrator NRC Resident Inspector NRC Project Manager Director, NRC Division of Spent Fuel Management, ONMSS Director BRP/DEP Site BRP/DEP Representative Attachment L-24-089 Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) Change Summary Analysis Page 1 of 2 1.Emergency Plan Appendix C -Emergency Implementing Procedure Listing, Revision 22 Proposed Change:

1.Updated implementing procedure title listing to reflect NOP-LP-5015 procedure title change from "Field Monitoring Teams Radiation Monitoring Teams Field Surveys" to "Field Monitoring Teams Field Surveys." This is an editorial only change to correct the procedure title.

2.Emergency Plan Appendix D -Emergency Equipment Listings, Revision 15 Proposed Change:

1.Changed the EPP words from: "Dose projection material maintained in OSC" to "Dose Projection Material." Dose projection material will be maintained in the control room.

Details:

Prior to the implementation of Amendment No. 315 to Renewed Facility Operating License No.

DPR-66 for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit No. 1, and Amendment No. 205 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-73 for Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 2, the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician was responsible for on-shift dose projection until it was transferred to the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Environmental Assessment Dose Projection (EADP)

Dose Assessor. Depending on the emergency situation, the RP Technician would either report to the OSC or the control room to perform the on-shift dose projection. With the implementation of the amendments, transfer of command and control for dose projection now goes from the control room Shift Technical Advisor (STA) to the EOF Dose Assessor. Therefore, there is no longer a need to maintain dose projection equipment in the OSC.

This change removes the need to maintain unused dose projection equipment in the OSC. Dose projection equipment will still be maintained in the control room and the EOF where qualified dose assessors are assigned.

3.Emergency Plan Section 5 -Emergency Organization, Revision 36 Proposed Change:

1.Revised EPP wording which previously stated, "The TSC Manager and EOF Manager have similar experience/background and receive the same training as the Emergency Coordinator and Emergency Director, respectively. Therefore, the respective facility manager may assume the functional responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator or Emergency Director." This wording has been revised to, "The EOF Manager has similar experience/background and receives the same training as the Emergency Director. Therefore, the EOF Manager may assist in the functional responsibilities of the Emergency Director."

2.Section 5.2.4 Operations Coordinator -Added the last paragraph "The TSC Operations Coordinator has similar experience/background and receives the same training as the Emergency Coordinator. Therefore, the TSC Operations Coordinator may assist in the functional responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator."

Attachment L-24-089 Page 2 of 2 Details:

The Beaver Valley EPP Section 5 is revised to replace the TSC Manager title with the TSC Operations Coordinator title in reference to having a similar experience/background as the Emergency Coordinator. Individuals filling the Technical Support Center (TSC) Operations Coordinator emergency response position come from a pool of qualified Nuclear Shift Managers who are currently qualified to perform the functional responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator in the control room. Therefore, changing the title of TSC Manger to TSC Operations Coordinator better aligns the "similar experience/background" statement in the EPP.

This change better aligns the position title functional responsibilities with the "similar experience" EPP wording and correctly separates the position responsibilities by using the word "assist" instead of "assume" to avoid dual emergency response organization (ERO) position responsibilities.

Description of How the Change Still Complies with Regulations Change #1 is considered an editorial change. Correcting a procedure title does not affect the EPP.

Change #2 is considered an administrative change. Following implementation of the license amendments, dose projection is no longer performed in the OSC. Therefore, removal of unused equipment does not affect the EPP. Adequate facilities and equipment will continue to be maintained to support emergency response.

Change #3 is considered an administrative change. The functional role of both the TSC Manager and Operations Coordinator are to assist the Emergency Coordinator. Therefore, the change does not change staffing levels, assigned responsibilities or response times for the emergency response organization or the ability to request or use offsite assistance and would not delay the in-processing of offsite assistance relied on in the EPP. The changes do not change functional areas, increase augmentation times, eliminate positions or responsibilities, reduce on-shift staffing, affect corporate support resources, or reduce available personnel for the emergency response organization.

Therefore, the change does not impact Beaver Valley EPP.

Description of Why the Change is Not a Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE)

All changes are editorial or administrative in nature. The program continues to meet the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The effectiveness of the BVPS EPP is considered to be maintained as a result of these revisions.

These changes result in no reduction in 1) emergency planning function, 2) emergency planning capabilities, or 3) emergency planning time requirements.
