PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN 1.0 DEFINITIONS Listed below are some terms in this plan along with the definitions that should be applied to these terms when they are used in this plan.
1.1 Assessment Action - Actions taken during or after an accident to obtain and process information necessary to make decisions regarding emergency measures.
1.2 Corrective Actions - Emergency measures taken to terminate an emergency situation at or near the source in order to prevent or minimize a radioactive release, e.g., shutting down equipment, firefighting, repair and damage control, etc.
1.3 Emergency Action Level (EAL) - A predetermined, site-specific, observable threshold for a plant Initiating Condition (IC) that places the plant in a given emergency class. An EAL can be: an instrument reading; an equipment status indicator; a measurable parameter (onsite or offsite); a discrete, observable event; results of analyses; entry into specific emergency operating procedures; or another phenomenon which, if it occurs, indicates entry into a particular emergency class.
1.4 Emergency Class: - One of a minimum set of names or titles, established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), for grouping of normal nuclear power plant conditions according to (1) their relative radiological seriousness, and (2) the time sensitive onsite and off site radiological emergency preparedness actions necessary to respond to such conditions. The existing radiological emergency classes, in ascending order of seriousness, are called: Notification of Unusual Event (UE), Alert, Site Area Emergency (SAE), and General Emergency (GE).
1.5 Emergency Director (ED) - The Plant Manager or designee. This individual has overall responsibility and authority for managing the emergency effort within the plant. This person will also manage efforts external to the plant until the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Organization can relieve the ED of external tasks.
1.6 Emergency Manager (EM) - A designated member of site management. This person has the authority and responsibility for the management of (NSPM) Northern States Power Company - Minnesota overall response to an emergency. The EM will assume command and control at the Emergency Operations Facility and direct the NSPM response efforts.

50 Page 8 of 158 1.7 Emergency Planninq Zones - a defined area around the plant to facilitate emergency planning by state and local authorities, to assure that prompt and effective actions are taken to protect the public in the event of a release of radioactive material. It is defined for:
1.7.1 Plume Exposure Pathway - a 10 mile radius around the plant where the principal exposure source is: (1) whole body exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited material; and (2) internal exposure from the inhaled radionuclides deposited in the body (Short Term Exposure).
1.7.2 Ingestion Exposure Pathway - a 50 mile radius around the plant where the principal exposure would be from the ingestion of contaminated water or foods such as milk or fresh vegetables (Long Term Exposure). The ingestion exposure pathway includes the plume exposure pathway.
1.8 Emergency Worker - Any individual involved in mitigating the consequences of an emergency situation and/or minimizing or preventing exposure to the offsite population. The emergency worker category includes emergency workers at the plant as well as individuals who are engaged in public service emergency activities -
firemen, policemen, medical support, and certain public officials. These are people who voluntarily place themselves as emergency workers.
1.9 Exclusion Area - The area surrounding the plant that is under direct Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant control. This includes the Corps of Engineering land north of plant and the islands located in the Mississippi River east of plant. It is sized such that any individual located on its boundary would not exceed 25 REM whole body or 300 REM thyroid from 1-131 for two hours immediately following the design basis accident (approximately 2340 feet out to boundary).
1.10 Initiating Condition (IC): - One of a predetermined subset of nuclear power plant conditions when either the potential exists for a radiological emergency, or such an emergency has occurred.
1.11 Northern States Power Company - Minnesota (NSPM) d/b/a Xcel Energy -

__Page 11 of 158 2.0 SCOPE AND PURPOSE In accordance with license conditions, 1 OCFR Part 50, and NRC guidance, the Northern States Power Company - Minnesota (NSPM) has developed and implemented a radiological emergency response plan for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) and a joint off-site plan for the PINGP and the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. As asset owner NSPM, and Xcel Energy, the operating utility, retain all owner obligations.
This Emergency Plan is applicable to Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP),
Units 1 and 2.
In any emergency situation at Prairie Island, the initial response to activate the Emergency Plan is accomplished by the plant staff and, if needed, immediate actions may be required by local support agencies. The plant, during initial stages of the emergency situation, must function independently coordinating both onsite and offsite activities. It is expected that within approximately 1 to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the plant staff will be augmented by other segments of the overall Monticello & Prairie Island (MT & PI) Offsite Emergency Response Organization (EOF staff, Monticello Field Teams and other company support staff). The augmented response organization will assume those tasks external (offsite) to the plant, thus allowing the plant staff to be responsible for all onsite activities. This plan covers the actions and responsibilities of the PINGP Emergency Organization and the Emergency Operations Facility Organization.
The purpose of the plan is to describe the following:
2.1 Organization and actions within the plant to control and limit the consequences of an accident.
2.2 Organization and actions controlling site and offsite activities in the event of an uncontrolled release of radioactive material. This includes notification of and coordination with required offsite support agencies.
2.3 Identifying and evaluating the consequences of accidents that may occur and affect the public and plant personnel.
2.4 Describing the protective action levels and actions that are required to protect the public and plant personnel in the event of an accident.

2.6 Arrangements required for medical support in the event of injury.
2.7 Arrangements required for fire fighting support in the event of major fires requiring outside support.
2.8 The training necessary to assure adequate response to emergencies.
The Emergency Plan is dependent upon various standing plant operating, abnormal operating, emergency operating, plant safety, radiological control and security procedures and the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for the implementation of the plant's response to the spectrum of emergency situations.
PINGP has procedures in place that implement on-site protective actions and personnel accountability during security events that are appropriate for plant and environmental conditions.
Coordination between plant, state, local and tribal authorities is defined in the Minnesota and Wisconsin state emergency operations plans, Goodhue, Dakota and Pierce county emergency plans and the Prairie Island Indian Community's emergency plan. Goodhue, Dakota and Pierce Counties have, formulated for their respective areas, individual evacuation plans which are included in the respective state plans.
Monticello & Prairie Island (MT & PI) offsite response is detailed in the Corporate Nuclear EmerQency Plan.

SUMMARY
Abnormal events, both realized and potential, requiring emergency preparedness response are classified into four classes of Emergency Action Levels. The four levels of emergency classes, in increasing order of severity are:
3.1 Notification of Unusual Event (UE) 3.2 Alert 3.3 Site Area Emergency (SAE) 3.4 General Emergency (GE)
Each class requires specific immediate actions on the part of the plant staff in order to protect the public, plant personnel and property. As the severity level of the emergency increases, so does the response of the offsite agencies, in order to protect the public.
The lowest class (least severe) is the Notification of Unusual Event, and will be handled mainly by plant personnel, with only advisory notification to local and state authorities. The Alert Classification requires prompt notification of local and state authorities, which will place their various organizations in a standby mode. In both the Notification of Unusual Event and the Alert Classification, the plant staff is expected to restore the situation to normal without further or minimum involvement of offsite authorities. The two higher severity classes, the Site Area and General Emergency, (the General Emergency being the most severe), requires prompt notification of offsite authorities with immediate involvement of those organizations to assess the emergency situation and to implement the required protective actions for the general public.
During an Alert, Site Area, or General Emergency, Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant will automatically activate their site and offsite support emergency response organizations.
The normal site organization will staff the Plant Emergency Response Organization and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Organization. The offsite organization will be staffed by members of the MT & P1 Offsite Organization and be located at the Minnesota Emergency Operations Center. MT & P1 Offsite Organization will communicate to the plant via the EOF Organization. The EOF Organization will support emergency response for the plant and relieve plant personnel of offsite activities who may be needed for plant activities.

50 Page 14 of 158 When plant conditions stabilize and the potential for future degradation of plant conditions is small, the plant may terminate the emergency classification. If severe equipment or core damage has occurred, a transition to a recovery phase may be warranted. In general terms, an Unusual Event or Alert may be terminated without transition to Recovery while a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency will probably necessitate a planned transition to Recovery and the establishment of a Recovery Organization. The Recovery Organization will manage the overall recovery or post-accident outage plans as work is done to return the plant to a normal operational or shutdown status.
PINGP has and maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an EAL has been exceeded. -Upon identification of the appropriate emergency classification level the emergency condition will be promptly declared.

_Page 15 of 158 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS 4.1 Classification System Four Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs) are established, according to severity, taking into consideration potential as well as actual events in progress.
Initiating Conditions (ICs) are predetermined subset of plant conditions when either the potential exists for a radiological emergency, or such an emergency has occurred.
Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions.
Annex A contains the Emergency Action Level (EAL) scheme as established by NEI 99-01, Revision 4 with the exception of the Security EALs. The Security EALs are based on those Security EALs described in the NRC endorsed guidance of NEI 99-01, Revision 5.
It should be noted that various events could require a graded scale of response. A minor incident could increase in severity and advance to the next class of emergency. This Emergency Plan is constructed to provide for a smooth transition from one class to another.
4.1.1 Notification of Unusual Event (UE)
Notification of Unusual Events are events that are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated.
No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
The purpose of the Notification of Unusual Event action level is to: (1) have the operating staff come to a state of readiness from the standpoint of emergency response in the event the handling of the initiating condition requires escalation to a more severe action level class; and (2) provide for systematic handling of unusual event information, i.e., to provide early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences given operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized.

_Page 16 of 158 4.1.2 Alert At the Alert action level, events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION.
It is the lowest level when some necessity for emergency planning and response offsite is necessary. Any radioactive release will be limited to a small fraction of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
The purpose of the Alert action level is to: (1) assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required; and (2) provide offsite authorities current status information, i.e., early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences given operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized.
4.1.3 Site Area Emergency The Site Area Emergency action level describes events that are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failure of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. It reflects conditions where significant offsite releases are likely to occur or are occurring but where a core melt situation is not expected although severe fuel damage may have occurred. Any radioactive releases are not expected to exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
In this situation full mobilization of emergency personnel in the near-site environs is warranted, as well as, dispatch of monitoring teams and associated communications.
The purpose of the Site Area Emergency action level is to: (1) assure that response centers are manned; (2) assure that monitoring teams are dispatched; (3) assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious; (4) provide current information for and consultation with offsite authorities; and (5) provide updates for the public through offsite authorities.

_Page 20 of 158 5.3 Plant Emergency Organization A plant emergency organization is designated to augment the normal operating crew. Provisions have been made for rapid assignment of plant personnel to the plant emergency organization during emergency situations. The Prairie Island Plant Emergency Organization is shown in Figure 1.
Various areas of responsibility are assigned to segments of the plant staff during emergency situations as depicted in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 shows the personnel available on-shift and the capability for additional personnel within 30 minutes and 60 minutes of notification. Table 1 follows the guidance established by Table B-1 in NUREG 0654.
5.3.1 Direction and Coordination During the initial stages of an emergency condition at Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, the Emergency Director has overall coordinating authority for Northern States Power Company - Minnesota (NSPM). The Emergency Director alone has the authority and responsibility to immediately initiate any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to offsite authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
When the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Organization is activated, the Emergency Manager (EM) and EOF staff will relieve the Emergency Director of all offsite responsibilities as soon as practical and assume the responsibility for the management of NSPM's overall response to the emergency. The Emergency Director can then direct the plant's efforts towards management of the onsite responsibilities.
The Shift Supervisor, of the affected unit, until properly relieved, SHALL remain in the Control Room at all times durinq accident situations, to direct the activities of control room operators.
Twenty-four (24) hour coverage for the Emergency Director position is provided by the Duty Shift Manager who assumes the responsibility of the interim Emergency Director at the onset of any emergency condition. If necessary, the Shift Supervisor of the unaffected unit may function as an alternate Emergency Director backing up the Shift Manager.

The basic responsibilities of the NRC are to monitor, assess, and, if necessary, direct the utility to take actions to protect the health and safety of the public. For a radiological incident at a commercial power plant, the NRC is the Lead Federal Agency (LFA). The LFA is responsible for coordinating all Federal onscene actions. The NRC will coordinate Federal assistance to States and local organizations.
A principal role of the LFA is to assist the State in interpretation and analysis of technical information as a basis for making decisions about protective actions. This assistance will begin early in an incident from the NRC Operations Center in Rockville, MD, and later, from the utility's emergency operations facility on scene. The NRC is an independent reviewer of the actions the utility is taking to correct the initiating and related problems. The NRC will assess actual or potential offsite impacts as well, and will make an independent evaluation of Protective Action Recommendations, if necessary. As the LFA, the NRC has the responsibility for coordinating the release of Federal information to the media and others. The NRC will conduct most public information activities from the utility's Joint Information Center (JIC). The NRC also will keep the White House and Congress informed on all aspects of the event.
The NRC is responsible for giving the best possible advice at a given time to the States and will not limit its involvement to presenting a series of options.
The NRC also administers the Price-Anderson Act to ensure that the public that is affected by the event has adequate financial assistance to address most emergency needs.

_Page 64 of 158 Redundant instrumentation is provided on the onsite 60 meter meteorological tower, and may be designated as primary and secondary sensors. The 22 meter backup tower provides a set of tertiary sensors.
The ERCS continuously collects the meteorological data. Meteorological data from all three sets of instruments are displayed simultaneously as well as the calculated stability class (derived from the temperature readings). If all met data is unavailable, manual entry of met data may be made for accident calculations.
Surveillances and quality checks are performed on the meteorological tower equipment and data to ensure emergency responders will have access to representative onsite meteorological data. A daily review of a week's trend of meteorological data is performed. The meteorological tower instruments are functionally tested monthly and calibrated at least annually.
Radiological effluent monitor data is also stored and processed in the ERCS. The effluent monitor reading, the calibration conversion factor and the vent flow rate result in a release rate. Effluent concentrations may also be manually entered into the computer if monitor data is not automatically available to the ERCS.
With meteorological and effluent release data available, calculations of offsite radiation dose, air concentration, ground deposition, and external dose rate from the plume can be made. Dose calculations are made for Total Effective Dose Equivalents (TEDE) and Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalents (Thyroid CDE). Results of all calculations can be printed in report format and, in most cases, displayed graphically. Isopleths can be displayed of any or all calculated outputs. Projected calculations take into account values of time of release and duration of release. The isopleth displayed is based on the assumption that the release continues for a predetermined duration time. This gives a display in which the plume overlays the region of potential highest dose.
The dose assessment computer allows quick accident dose calculations to be made, before any results from the Radiation Survey Teams are received. Radiation Survey Team results will be used to verify the dose calculations.

The containment dome monitor reading and applicable calibration curve results in an activity available for release, and using an estimated release rate, an offsite dose calculation within the plume exposure pathway may be projected. The activity available in containment may also be obtained directly from sample analysis.
The containment dome monitors are also used as indicators for relative amounts of core damage, as illustrated in Figure 5. The indicated radiation levels in the containment gives an estimate of the gaseous radioactive concentrations in containment. Using the time after shutdown and the radiation levels, an estimate of the relative amount of core damage may be made. This must be used in a confirmatory sense, that is, as backup to other measurements of fission product release and other indicators.

The Radiation Protection Specialists may be divided into three emergency Radiation Survey Teams. Two teams are assigned offsite duties such as radiation surveys, air samples, or liquid sampling. The two offsite survey teams will conduct a search for the plume and obtain dose rates, and iodine, particulate or gaseous samples at pre-designated sample locations.
Plume exposure pathway maps with pre-designated sample locations are contained in the emergency survey kits. The third team is assigned duties onsite such as radiation surveys, sampling (airborne or liquid) and sample analysis using the equipment available onsite and/or the EOF Count Room facility. Silver zeolite adsorbers are used to collect airborne iodine samples, both onsite and offsite. Silver zeolite adsorbers eliminate the problem of entrapped noble gases on the iodine adsorber, allowing a much lower detection sensitivity. Iodine samples may be analyzed in the EOF Counting Room.
The Radiation Survey Teams are activated via the ERO Auto Dial System and/or the ERO Pager Network or the telephone system. If the emergency occurs during normal working hours, the teams will be activated and respond within 10 minutes. If the emergency occurs during off hours, the teams will be activated and respond within thirty (30) minutes. Designated Emergency Lockers contain emergency survey kits, which include portable instruments, battery operated air samplers, liquid sampling equipment, and communication equipment.
After the initial offsite surveys are completed, the teams assigned offsite duties may be relieved by Monticello Radiation Protection Specialists who will continue to perform any offsite surveys assigned by the Emergency Manager. The Prairie Island Survey Team members may concentrate their efforts and resources to onsite responsibilities.

- Page 69 of 158 6.5 Corrective Actions Certain actions may be taken by the Prairie Island staff during an emergency which may minimize the severity of the accident and lessen the amount of offsite releases.
These actions are outlined in the various standing plant abnormal operating, emergency operating, and plant safety procedures.
Repair and Damage Control is the responsibility of the Emergency Director and Shift Supervisors. During the onset of the emergency, plant operators are responsible for minor damage repair and control. Upon activation of the Plant Emergency Organization, equipment repair activities are the responsibility of the Maintenance Group, the I&C Group, the Electrical Group, the Operations Group, and Engineering Group depending upon the extent and type of damage. Repair and damage control on radioactive or contaminated systems will be monitored by the Radiation Protection Group.
The Fire Brigade is composed of personnel in accordance with NRC requirements and is directed by a Fire Brigade Chief. Backup support is from the Red Wing Fire Department. All onsite Fire Brigade members are trained in the use of onsite fire fighting equipment and in proper fire fighting procedures. The Fire Brigade will be placed in action under the direction of the Brigade Chief.
6.6 Protective Actions 6.6.1 Evacuation and Shelterinq In the course of an emergency at Prairie Island NGP when there is an actual or potential release of radioactive material to the environs in excess of normal operating levels, the Emergency Director SHALL be responsible to ensure that an assessment is made of the projected doses to persons onsite and offsite. Upon activation of the EOF, the Emergency Manager SHALL be responsible for ensuring that all assessments are made of the projected doses to the offsite population.

50 Page 70 of 158 The Protective Action Guides (PAG's), promulgated by the EPA, set dose guides for the offsite population. The Emergency Director also has the responsibility to ensure that protective actions are also taken to maintain exposure to onsite personnel within the PAG's. The Emergency Director or the Emergency Manager when the EOF is activated SHALL be responsible to recommend to the state and local authorities any protective actions for the offsite population whether the protective actions be based on predetermined Emergency Action Levels (EALs) or projected offsite dose assessment.
Plant Emergency Organization personnel fall into the category of "Emergency Workers" to which higher PAG's apply. The Emergency Director has the responsibility of maintaining doses within these PAG's.
A.
Plant Site The primary protective measure for non-essential onsite personnel during a Site Area or General Emergency and possibly during an Alert, is evacuation to a suitable assembly area where the personnel can be monitored for contamination. The Emergency Director or Shift Manager, prior to ordering an evacuation SHALL determine the habitability of the assembly area (wind direction, magnitude of release, etc.).
If the normal onsite assembly area is determined to be uninhabitable, the Emergency Director will select a location farther from the plant site and designate the route to this location.
The Control Room operator will sound the evacuation alarm and announce the designated assembly area. If a location offsite is selected, the traffic route and area SHALL be announced.
Once non-essential personnel are accounted for and monitored for contamination, they may be released from the assembly area.
The evacuation routes from the assembly areas are limited to two directions: County 18 to Etter to Hwy 316 or County 18 to Hwy 61.
High water conditions may make the Etter route unusable, leaving only the County 18 to Hwy 61 route available. Prairie Island NGP vehicles and personal cars will be used to transport all personnel.
If conditions (meteorological or radiological) make land routes unavailable, evacuation by alternate means, (e.g., aircraft or watercraft) may be a viable alternative.

E-PLAN EMERGENCY PLAN REV:
50 Page 71 of 158 All non-essential personnel SHALL evacuate to the designated assembly area. The plant security force will assist in the evacuation by directing people to the proper assembly area. The Security Force SHALL direct employees to badge out of the Protected Area while exiting the Protected Area. The Security Force will perform an immediate check of the Protected Area to ensure that all personnel did indeed hear the evacuation alarm. The Security Force will perform a check of the Owner Controlled Area and warn all personnel of the evacuation in progress.
Radiation Survey Team Members, extra on-shift operators, group managers, Maintenance Supervisors, I&C Supervisors, Lead Maintenance Personnel and Station Electricians SHALL report to the Operational Support Center or the Technical Support Center, as applicable. Plant staff without emergency assignments SHALL evacuate to the designated assembly area. NRC Resident Inspector(s) may proceed to the Technical Support Center or Control Room.
Designated individuals SHALL complete an accountability check of personnel remaining within the Protected Area by verifying a list of personnel remaining in the Protected Area. The Emergency Director accepts responsibility for solving any discrepancies found during.the accountability. The Emergency Director SHALL direct the necessary follow-up actions.
The Radiation Protection Group or qualified personnel SHALL monito.r personnel at the assembly area for contamination, and any exposure determinations SHALL be completed, as conditions warrant. The emergency locker contains material necessary for decontamination of personnel under Radiation Protection Group supervision.
The assembly area SHALL remain in contact with the Emergency Director or designee via the telephone system or portable radio supplied in the emergency locker. The individual assigned as the Coordinator at the assembly area will be the contact point for all personnel.
The Emergency Director SHALL release non-essential personnel for departure from the site when conditions allow or demand this action.
The Emergency Director will designate the proper traffic routes to follow during the departure.

50 Page 93 of 158 The EOF has been constructed and designed in accordance with the guidance of NUREG 0696. The building has been designed to serve primarily as a Training Center on a regular basis with the capability for prompt conversion to the EOF function when required and, if needed, will serve as the Recovery Center.
The EOF is constructed in a manner which provides habitability in an accident situation. Shielding and ventilation treatment systems have been installed to maintain an acceptable environment. The EOF section of the training building is a concrete structure that contains sufficient shielding to exceed a protection factor of 5. The ventilation system has an emergency mode of operation that will pressurize the building through a High Efficiency Particulate Absolute (HEPA) filtration system.
The general layout of the building's entrances and exits have been given consideration for operation of the building in an emergency mode.
Radiological monitoring and alarming are provided for the EOF portion of the building. Extensive communication equipment is installed in the building to provide primary and backup means of communication with outside agencies, offsite survey teams, TSC and the Control Room. The EOF portion of the building is served by a dual source power supply for those services necessary to make the EOF functional.
The EOF provides office space for each plant support group, key supervisors, state, local and tribal officials, and the NRC, as well as functioning as a command center. Each space is provided with furnishings necessary to perform routine office functions. The plant support groups and governmental representatives will perform their respective functions in these assigned offices. The command center is intended to function as a work space for the Emergency Manager, Radiation Protection Support Group, Technical Support Group, and for related critical communications.
These activities are assigned to this area, due to the high volume of activity and the importance of the information handled. Additionally, this area is the central area for displaying plant status, offsite survey status, conducting accident assessment and directing the activities of the offsite Emergency Response Organization.

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN 7.2.3 Alert and Notification System (ANS)
Within the Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) there exist provisions for alerting and providing notification to the public. It is the responsibility of state and county governments to activate this system.
The plant maintains a basic fixed siren system for essentially 100%
coverage of the offsite population within 5 miles of the plant and population center coverage for the 5-10 mile zone. To reach persons not covered by these population center sirens, state, county and city emergency vehicles will be directed to alert the affected downwind geo-political sub-areas.
A special electronic siren is maintained near the Prairie Island Indian Community Center. The TSC has the capability to activate the siren with a special "stutter" tone at the declaration of a Site Area Emergency for the purpose of quickly notifying Prairie Island's Indian tribal leaders except during a Hostile Action Based (HAB) event. The siren would also be activated with the normal "Alert" tone by the Goodhue County Sheriffs Department during a General Emergency as part of the normal Public Alert and Notification System activation.
To supplement PANS, emergency alert radios have been installed in various commercial, institutional, and educational facilities in the 10-mile zone. These locations may harbor large groups of people during all or part of a day, justifying radio alert service, even though many of these facilities are already covered by state and county emergency warning plans. The emergency radios will either be activated by the National Weather Service or by the local county sheriffs dispatch office.
In the event of an emergency condition, alert and notification information will be relayed through established communication links described in the Minnesota and Wisconsin emergency response plans. Upon receiving notification of the emergency, offsite governments will, if necessary, activate public warning and information procedures which include the State Emergency Alert System (EAS). With this system, essentially 100% of the population in the 10 mile EPZ will be alerted within 15 minutes In the event a county primary siren activation system fails to operate, each county has a backup siren activation process on a separate activation system utilizing a different tower and controls for activation of the sirens.
In the event a siren or sirens fail to receive the activation signal and/or function properly, each affected county will initiate backup route alerting and has maps, directions and instructions for notifying the public in the areas where the siren(s) did not function.

50 Page 104 of 158 7.3 Assessment Facilities The plant instrumentation and monitors perform indicating, recording and protective functions. The Reactor Protection System and associated plant instrumentation provide the ability to maintain plant safety from shutdown to full power operations and to monitor and maintain key variables such as reactor power, flow, temperature, and radioactivity levels within predetermined safe limits at both steady state conditions and during plant transients. Plant instrumentation and control systems also provide means to cope with abnormal operating conditions. The control and display of information of these various systems are centralized in the main Control Room. This instrumentation would provide the basis for initiation of protective actions.
7.3.1 Onsite Systems and Equipment A.
Geophysical Phenomena Monitors
- 1.
Meteorological Prairie Island has a 60 meter onsite meteorological tower located approximately 0.5 miles northwest of the plant. The tower is equipped with primary and secondary redundant sensors for the 10 and 60 meter temperatures, wind speeds, and wind directions powered by a primary and secondary power source. The following meteorological information is supplied by the tower:
a Wind Direction (10 and 60 meter) b Wind Speed (10 and 60 meter) c Ambient Temperature d
AT between 10 and 60 meter temperature indications e

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN
- 2.
Seismic The Control Room has an installed earthquake detection system with a three step graded severity level of alarms:
a Seismic Event - 3 percent vertical or horizontal acceleration b
Operational Basis Earthquake - 4 percent vertical or 6 percent horizontal acceleration (No equipment failure) c Design Basis Earthquake - 8 percent vertical or 12 percent horizontal acceleration (possible equipment failure)
A visual and audible alarm will sound in the Control Room.
Upon activation, the accelerometers and accelerographs listed on Table 7 will be automatically recorded for future investigation.
- 3.
Hydrologic River water level is available from two sources:
a Indicators in Control Room which receive a signal from capacitance level probes located in several locations in the river water canals and the intake screenhouse.
b Lock and Dam #3 (located about 1.6 miles SE) which would give essentially the same indication as at Prairie Island NGP.
B.
Radiation Monitoring Equipment Onsite radiation monitoring equipment at Prairie Island NGP can be categorized into the following groups:
- 1.
Process radiological monitoring system
- 2.
Effluent radiological monitoring system
- 3.
Airborne radioactivity monitoring system
- 4.
Area radiation monitoring system
- 5.
Portable survey and counting room equipment Table 8 lists all the area, process, and effluent monitors. Table 9 lists the general types of portable survey, count room, airborne monitoring and personnel monitoring equipment.

Process Monitors Adequate instrumentation monitoring capability exists to properly access the plant status during all modes of operation, i.e.,
instrumentation is available to the operator to determine plant status, aid in emergency classification determination, and aid in post accident assessment. Table 10 lists available instrumentation, rangesand their indicator locations.
D.
Fire Detection The fire detection system consists of various types of detectors/flow devices throughout the main power building and in most of the outbuildings. Ionization, flame and thermal type fire detectors are located throughout safety related structures. Audible alarming is on the Control Room annunciator panel system for actuation or trouble.
The Control Room fire panel system will indicate zone location of the alarm. On receipt of the annunciator panel alarm, the fire panel is checked for location and operator assigned to effected area is called for immediate investigation.
Further details of the fire detection system. are given in the plant safety procedures, Section F5 Appendix K, "Fire Detection and Protection Systems."
E.
Post Accident Liquid Sampling A post-accident liquid sampling system is installed at Prairie Island with associated procedures to provide the capability to obtain the following samples:
- 1.
Sample of raw reactor water
- 2.
Diluted samples of reactor water (boron, chloride, isotopic analysis, pH, etc.)
- 3.
Dissolved gas sample for isotopic analysis (noble gases)
- 4.
Dissolved hydrogen sample
PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN NUMBER:

.Page 107 of 158 The sampling system includes the following exposure reduction equipment:
- 1.
Shielded sample lines and shielded drain lines in the Hot Sample Room.
- 2.
Shielded sample panel which allows collections and analysis of a reactor coolant sample for hydrogen and isotopic analysis.
- 3.
Shielded sample carriers for transporting samples to remote facilities (Hot Cell).
- 4.
Remote analysis lab (Hot Cell) located on 695' elevation in the Turbine Building.
- 5.
Shielded work area in the Hot Cell with an exhaust hood installed, which discharges through a PAC filter unit.
- 6.
Remote counting labs with geometries for counting extremely high level radioactivity samples.
This system allows sample collection and analysis within the radiation exposure guidelines given in NUREG 0578.
F.
Containment Air Sampling Following an accident, a containment air sample may be obtained, utilizing the gas analyzer to extract a sample via the Hydrogen Post LOCA System for determination of:
- 1.
Hydrogen content
- 2.
Isotopic analysis (noble gas)
All sampling will be completed within the exposure guidelines of NUREG 0578.
G.
Shield Building Vent Sample The Shield Building Stack Hi-Range Monitor (located in the third floor of the turbine building) extracts a sample from the Shield Building stack and pumps it through a large sample chamber which houses the radiation detector. The hi-range detector reading is in mR/hr and is easily converted to mCi/cc via the applicable calibration curves.

.Page 108 of 158 Prior to entering the sample chamber, the sample flow is directed through a particulate filter and a silver zeolite adsorber. The particulate filter and silver zeolite adsorber are manually removed and prepared for analysis in the counting labs.
Silver zeolite adsorbers eliminate the problem of entrapped noble gases on the iodine adsorber allowing a much lower
- NOTE:
detection sensitivity. In addition, air or N2 may be used to blow out the adsorber to further eliminate the entrapped noble gases.
In instances of monitor failure or offscale readings, procedures are available to allow the dose rate on the sample chambers to be measured using portable survey meters. The release concentration can then be calculated by converting the dose rate to concentration utilizing applicable calibration curves.
H.
Containment High Range Area Monitors Two channels of Containment High Range Dome monitors are installed in the containments. Full scale reading on these monitors is 108 R/hr. This allows personnel to estimate the amount of activity in containment available for release and the severity of the accident from the applicable calibration curves.

In-Plant Iodine Determination During emergency conditions, it will be necessary for emergency personnel to rapidly and accurately determine or estimate the airborne iodine activity in areas of the plant including all operating centers.
Samples for iodine activity are obtained with portable air samplers (AC and battery operated) and continuous air monitors (CAM's). The iodine is collected on silver zeolite adsorbers.
The use of silver zeolite adsorbers reduces the amount of noble gases entrapped on the adsorber. This reduces the
.NOTE:
minimum sensitivity level of iodine on the adsorber. In addition, air or N 2 may be used to blow out the adsorber to further reduce the amount of entrapped noble gases.
The silver zeolite adsorbers may be analyzed using the GEM system in the onsite counting room or the EOF Counting Room. The adsorbers could also be analyzed with portable instrumentation.
The Control Room, Operational Support Center, Technical Support Center and EOF have continuous air monitors (CAM's) available to monitor the airborne iodine levels. A detector is continuously analyzing the activity (iodine) trapped on the carbon-impregnated filter paper.
This combination of equipment allows iodine determinations under all plant accident conditions.
An Iodine Monitoring program, acceptable to the NRC, was described in letters from L.O. Mayer, NSP, to Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, dated December 31, 1979, "Lessons Learned Implementation" and March 13, 1980, "1/1/80 Lessons Learned Implementation Additional Information."

Steam Line Monitors The steam line radiation monitor in conjunction with the ERCS (Emergency Response Computer System) computer will supply a value for noble gas activity released via the steam headers (steam dumps and safeties).
An alternate steam header release calculation procedure exists which allows the determination to be made with portable radiation equipment and applicable calibration curves. This will allow a backup method for release determination during instances of monitor failure.
NOTE:
Normally the air ejector discharge is routed to the Shield Building Exhaust stacks which are monitored by the low and high range stack radiation monitors.
K.
Air Ejector Noble Gas Release Releases through the air ejectors are quantified via: (1) the installed air ejector radiation monitor and applicable calibration curves; (2) the Shield Building Exhaust Stack monitors (low and high range) and their applicable calibration curves; or (3) by local sample analysis.

,.Page 135 of 158 9.0 RECOVERY In general, the plant will be responsible for the short term recovery, that is recovery from an emergency condition in which no core damage or serious release of radioactivity to the environments has occurred.
If it is clear that a high potential exists for core damage and/or a serious release of radioactivity to the environment, a Recovery Phase will be activated to provide for the long-term recovery actions and for establishing support arrangements.
In general, before re-occupying buildings after an emergency, certain recovery criteria must be satisfied: (1) There must be assurance that the problem encountered is solved and that this same incident cannot immediately recur; (2) The general occupancy areas must be free of significant contamination; (3) Radiation areas and High Radiation areas must be properly defined; and (4) Airborne radioactivity must be eliminated or controlled.
9.1 Investigation of Incidents All incidents SHALL be investigated in conjunction with corporate event response procedures.
9.2 Recovery Procedures All recovery operations SHALL be performed in accordance with written procedures. These procedures SHALL include the following activities:
A. Investigation of the cause of the incident B. Investigation of plant conditions following an accident C. Repair and restoration of facilities D. Testing and startup of restored facilities Methods for determining the extent of radioactive contamination and general protective measures to be taken for personnel performing recovery operations are established in Section F2, Radiation Safety, of the Operations Manual, and in the Radiation Protection Manual, RPIP's.
PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN NUMBER:
E-PLAN EMERGENCY PLAN REV:
50 Page 136 of 158 Written procedures for recovery of the facility from the specific post accident conditions will be prepared by qualified plant staff members and submitted to the Plant Operating Review Committee. Plant Operating Review Committee approval of all such procedures is required prior to their initiation.
9.3 Criteria for Resumption of Operations If the plant is shutdown as the result of an emergency, it will be restarted only when:
A. The conditions which caused the emergency are corrected.
B. The cause of the emergency is understood.
C. Restoration, repair and testing is completed as required.
D. No unreviewed safety questions exist.
E. All conditions of the license and technical specifications are satisfied.
9.4 Long Term Recovery If it is clear that extensive plant damage exists and contamination of plant systems have occurred, then a Recovery Phase will be required.
Activation of the Recovery Phase will take place in an incremental manner as the functions change from operational to engineering/construction. The decision to activate the Recovery Phase will be made by Site Management. The Recovery Manager will be selected from qualified designees who are members of the site organization. The Emergency Manager and the Emergency Director will share responsibility at least during the early part of the Recovery Phase.
If a transition to the Recovery Phase becomes necessary, the site engineering/construction oriented staff would provide the nucleus or the organization responsible to carry out the Recovery Phase.

,;.Page 137 of 158 This plant staff would be augmented as required by specialists from the site organization and the offsite support groups. In addition, appropriate assistance would be secured from the Architect-Engineer and the NSSS vendor organizations.
This support could be broadened as required by consultant help from the several organizations familiar with Prairie Island NGP's organization. The overall organization envisioned for a substantial Recovery Phase would be a blend of site staff, and appropriate vendor and consultant personnel. On a prior basis it is counterproductive to define in detail the extensive organization that might be involved in a sizable Recovery Phase because of the unlimited variation of conditions that could result from plant emergencies. However, the nucleus organization has been identified together with guidelines on how the organization might be expanded to meet the requirements demanded at the time.
When the Emergency Manager and Emergency Director agree that the emergency condition has been terminated, a complete transfer of the responsibilities for offsite support may be made to the Recovery Organization. If necessary, the EOF may then become the Recovery Center and function as Command Center for the Recovery Organization and the recovery effort. Details of Recovery Organization activation and implementing criteria are contained in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
