F~m~raencv Classification and Basis 12 Emernencv Classification and Basis 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides guidance for the Emergency Director for determination of emergency classification based on given initiating emergency conditions (emergency action levels). The emergency action levels stated in this procedure are TMI specific and consistent with federal guidance.

2.0 APPLICABILITY/SCOPE This procedure applies to all Emergency Plan Implementations at TMI.

3.0 DEFINITIONS Effluent Monitor An on-line instrument monitoring radiological conditions of a designed pathway to the environment (e.g., station ventilation exhaust).

Emergency Action Those measures or steps taken to ensure that an emergency situation is assessed (assessment actions) and that the proper corrective and/or protective actions are taken.

Emergency Action Levels (EAL's) Predetermined conditions or values, including radiological dose, specific contamination levels of airborne or waterborne concentrations of radioactive materials; events such as material disasters or fire; or specific instrument indications which, when met or exceeded, require the implementation of the Emergency Plan.

Imminent This is when the loss condition will occur in an hour or less. Additionally it is when equipment needed to prevent the loss is not available and it is unknown when the equipment will be available. It is also applicable if necessary equipment is not expected to be returned before the loss condition occurs.

Loss The conditions exist that have resulted in the failure of a protective barrier.

Plant Conditions Cold Shutdown The plant is in the Cold Shutdown (CSD) Condition when the reactor is subcritical by at least one percent delta k/k and Tavg is no more than 200 0 F. Additionally the reactor coolant system pressure allowed is defined by Technical Specification 3.1.2.

Emergency Classification and Basis T

12 Plant Conditions (cont'd)

Containment Integrity The requirements for Containment Integrity are as follows:

a. Must meet the requirements of the Technical Specification definition 1.7.
b. Containment integrity requirements (per Technical Specification 3.6) must be met whenever all 3 of the following conditions exist:

"* RCS pressure > 300 psig

"* RCS temperature >_200OF

"* Nuclear fuel is in the core

c. Other integrity conditions are listed in T.S. 3.6.2.

Heatup/Cooldown The plant is in the Heatup/Cooldown (HU/CD) condition when the reactor coolant temperature is greater than 200OF and less than 525 0 F.

Hot Shutdown The plant is in the Hot Shutdown (HSD) condition when the reactor is subcritical by at least one percent delta k/k and Tavg is at or greater than 525 0 F.

Hot Standby The plant is in the Hot Standby (HStby) condition when all of the following conditions exist:

a. Tavg is greater than 525 0 F
b. The reactor is critical C. Indicated neutron power on the power range channels is less than two percent of rated power.

Power Operation The plant is in the Power Operation (PwrOps) condition when the indicated neutron power is two percent of rated power, or greater, as indicated on the power range channels.

Refueling Shutdown The plant is in the Refueling Shutdown (RSD) condition when, even with all of the control rods removed, the reactor would be subcritical by at least one percent delta k/k and the reactor coolant temperature at the decay heat removal pump suction is no more than 140 0 F. Additionally, the allowable reactor coolant system pressure is defined by Technical Specification 3.1.2. One purpose of a refueling shutdown is to replace or rearrange all or a portion of the fuel assemblies including the control rods.

Startup The plant shall be considered to be in the Startup (SU) mode when the shutdown margin is reduced with the intent of going critical.

Potential Loss The conditions exist that have the possibility to result in the failure of a protective barrier.

Number TMI - Unit 1 Emergency Procedure EPIP-TMI-.81 Revision No.

Emergency Classification and Basis 12 Sabotage Sabotage is defined as "The intentional and willful (e.g., eyewitness report or threat followed up with tangible evidence, investigation, etc.) act or attempt to cause an interruption of normal operations of the facility through the unauthorized use of, tampering with or destruction of machinery, components, or controls of the facility". Vandalism is also included in this category.

Unplanned An event occurring that was NOT projected or considered (i.e., something NOT EXPECTED) in the procedure or plan for operation.

Valid (or Confirmed) An indication that is conclusively justified from alternate or supportive (backup) indicators, (e.g., other meters, manual calculations, etc.) such that all doubt related to the indicators operability is removed, including prior knowledge related to the indicator.

4.0 RESPONSIBILITIES The Emergency Director is responsible for implementing this procedure.

5.0 PROCEDURE 5.1 Upon recognition of an abnormal (unplanned, valid) condition, use the Emerqency Action Level (EAL) Index to compare existing plant conditions to the general areas stated in the index, then refer to the referenced exhibit for the specific Emergency Action Levels.

NOTE The detailed EAL specifications and bases provided in Exhibits 1 through 8 should be used for formal event classification activities. EAL matrices at the beginning of each exhibit provide abbreviated action level descriptions intended to facilitate general evaluation and consideration of event escalation.

5.1.1 Declare the highest classification of emergency (i.e., General Emergency [G], Site Area Emergency [S], Alert [A], Unusual Event [U]) for which an emergency action level has been met or exceeded, as determined by using the EAL index, EAL matrix and specific EAL and Basis.

5.1.1.1 Always refer to Exhibit 8 (JUDGEMENT) to determine if an emergency declaration is warranted based on Shift Manager/Emergency Director (SM/ED) judgement. The purpose of this action is to insure that the highest level of emergency is declared based on uncertain or ambiguous conditions.

5.1.2 Implement EPIP-TMI-.02, Emergency Direction, following determination that an emergency action level (specific or judgement) has been met or exceeded.

5.2 Review Administrative Procedure AP 1044, Incident Reporting Procedure and AP 1097, Corrective Action Process to ensure that applicable reporting requirements are being met.

5.3 Ensure that the appropriate plant procedures are being implemented.

2) Total OTSG leakage _>10 gpm to the condenser OR
3) RCS identified leakage is > 25 gpm (1 OR 2 OR 3)

APPLICABILITY: All Plant Conditions BASIS:

The EAL is a precursor for more serious conditions and potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

  • The 10 gpm value for unidentified and pressure boundary leakage was selected because it is an observable amount on normal Control Room indications. The value is above that typically requiring time consuming tests, such as mass balance, to determine the leak magnitude.

"v The 25 gpm value for identified leakage is set higher because if the leak location and magnitude are known, there is less significance than unknown leakage. Typically this leakage is recoverable or has been evaluated as safe in accordance with Technical Specifications.

  • The numbers used are greater than those allowed by Technical Specifications and these are the ones that have the potential for causing a degradation in the level of safety of the plant.
  • The Fission Product Barrier EALs provide guidance on escalation of this event.
  • "RCS" includes any interfacing system - i.e., MU, DHR.

RCS Potential Loss of RCS Fission Product Barrier

1) Cycling (2 or more times) the PORV or RCS Code Safety Valves BASIS:

Rather than depend on instrumentation to determine the potential loss of this barrier the over pressure protection is monitored. The safety valves open between 2450 psig and 2510 psig (Allowance for set pressure and Code Safety valve accumulation). This is at the limit of design of the RCS but well within tested values (2750 psig) verifying integrity.

Pressure transients that cause multiple cycles (>2) increases the probability of failure.

2) Exceed the pressure and temperature limits of the Technical Specification Heat Up or Cool Down curve BASIS:

This curve (Figure 3.1-1) represents the RTNDT Limits to prevent brittle fracture of the vessel. Specific analysis would be required if violated therefore it is conservative to assume the RCS boundary is potentially lost.

3) RCS leakage: VALID High Make Up Flow alarm (D-3-1) or calculated leak rate of >_ 160 gpm.

BASIS:

-"e 160 gpm is based upon the makeup capability of a single Make Up Pump, which is normally running.

itionally, even with elevated pressure, the normal makeup line bypass (MU-V-217) does not have to be used.

4) Total OTSG leakage: VALID High Make Up Flow alarm (D-3-1) or calculated leak rate of > 160 gpm and the loss of RCS inventory is into the OTSG.

BASIS:

The 160 gpm is based upon the makeup capability of a single Make Up Pump, which is normally running.

Additionally, even with elevated pressure, the normal makeup line bypass (MU-V-217) does not have to be used.

Loss of RCS Fission Product Barrier

1) RM-G-22 OR RM-G-23 > 22R/hr BASIS:

"* Calculation RAF 6612-96-023 documents RM-G-22/23 readings under LOCA conditions with Tech Spec RCS activity.

"* This should be considered a loss of RCS.

2) < 250 SCM (Subcooled Margin)

BASIS:

While there is effective heat removal to protect the Fuel Cladding, this is indicative of a loss in the RCS barrier.

3) Stuck open PORV OR RCS Code Safety Valve OR HPI-PORV Cooling BASIS:

The PORV to be included must be stuck open and its isolation valve stuck in the open position (PORV cannot be isolated) or being used in the HPI-PORV Cooling mode. One or both of the Code Safety Valves is assumed to be open. Unisolable flow through either the PORV or a Code Safety Valve places a hole in the RCS and therefore the barrier is lost.

FUEL CLAD Potential Loss of Fuel Clad Fission Product Barrier

1) > 250 Superheat BASIS:

The RCS may be sub-cooled or at saturated conditions and still be effective in removing heat from the core. The case of 250 superheat addresses the concern of inadvertent declaration based on instrument error. Valid indication of superheat places the cladding in a potential loss condition because the amount of heat removal from the core can be less than expected allowing further heatup and actual cladding failure.

Loss of Fuel Clad Fission Product Barrier NOTE Loss of this barrier is NOT RECOVERABLE.

1) RM-G-22 OR RM-G-23 > ALERT ALARM BASIS:

The alarm set point is based on cladding failure to provide a reading this high. Additional reference is OP 1101-2.1, the RMS setpoint procedure for additional information.

2500 pCi/cc total RCS activity corresponds to approximately 300 iCi/cc DEI 131, per the EDCM. This is approximately 5% fuel clad damage.

2) TCLAD > 1400OF curve BASIS:

The RCS is in a very poor heat transfer region and the potential for cladding damage is greatly increased. This is the starting point where certain fuel pins could experience eutectic effects and release the gap activity from the fuel pins.

3) RCS Activity > 2500 pCi/cc (Total)

BASIS:

These are cladding damage numbers, indication that 5% of the core has experienced cladding damage and has released its gap activity. In the absence of sample results, the TSC evaluates fuel cladding status. A report of greater than or equal to damage class 2 or fuel clad barrier lost is sufficient to meet this activity requirement.

4) Letdown line reading > 15 R/hr BASIS:

These are cladding damage numbers, indication that 5% of the core has experienced cladding damage and has released its gap activity.

The letdown line reading taken at the letdown monitor provides a quick conservative approach to ascertain this minimum level without the delay associated with a post accident sample.

CONTAINMENT Potential loss of Containment Fission Product Barrier

1) RM-G-22 or RM-G-23 reading __12000 R/hr BASIS:
  • Based on calculation RAF 9140-89-002, RM-G-22 or RM-G-23 readings would correspond to a LOCA with 20% release of fuel gap activity.
2) TCLAD >- 1800OF curve BASIS:

This condition is a conservative estimate that if conditions continue degrading the Containment barrier could be lost.

This is the point where exothermic reactions are taking place inside the RCS based on the steam envelope around the hot zirconium clad fuel pellets. Based on the assumption that the Core could melt through the RCS barrier and interact with the hydrogenous containment floor, the subsequent loss of containment could result in the release of large amounts of radioactivity to the general public.

3.1) RB Pressure >_50 psig SIS:

-- is is the closest major instrument division below the design pressure of the Reactor Building. This is about the pressure to which the building is leak tested.

3.2) RB Hydrogen > 4%

BASIS:

Sandia Laboratory analysis on ignition of hydrogen supports that in a steam environment, hydrogen is not flammable in concentrations of less than 4%.

3.3) The Reactor Building Pressure is > 30 psig and the Reactor Building Emergency Cooling is less than the minimum assumed in the FSAR.

BASIS:

"* This condition of less than minimum is exceeded if any one of the following conditions are not met:

SPRAY COOLERS 2 0 0 3 1 1

"* This is consistent with the Level 2 Probability Risk Assessment (PRA) assumptions of no Coolers and no Spray where the pressure could increase to 4 times the value with a combustion or similar event to cause a pressure spike. Four times the setpoint (30 psig) is still below the assumed failure value from the PRA of 144 psig. However, above 30 psig there could be a pressure spike that could exceed 144 psig; therefore the RB is in jeopardy.

Loss of Containment Fission Product Barrier

1) Total OTSG leak > 1 gpm (Tech Spec) and steam to atmosphere from the affected generator.

BASIS:

  • This magnitude of leakage, assuming an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> release duration, will result in expected measurable doses to the public. These doses are above those received normally, therefore the barrier to prevent the release of radioactivity has been lost.

"* The OTSG leak and path from the affected generator to the environment have the potential to impact the public with small doses.

"* This is anticipatory because dose assessment will validate the event classification.

"* Paths are Steam Line Break, Main Steam Relief stuck open or steaming via the Atmospheric Dump Valves.

(Affected generator)

The direct to atmosphere means that the condenser function has been lost for the affected (leaking) generator.

2.1) RB Pressure _ 100 psig BASIS:

"* An analysis was performed to verify integrity of the containment as a barrier to the release of fission products.

This showed that, mathematically, the building would be intact at up to three times the design pressure or 150 psig. The margin of safety would be greatly decreased at that point. The calculations showed that cracking could be expected at 120 psig, therefore a conservative value of 100 psig was assumed to be the point where the containment barrier was lost. This does not consider the status of the steel liner on preventing the release of fission products. Another condition is that an analysis would be performed for any pressure over design to verify the integrity of the barrier.

"* This loss is NOT RECOVERABLE.

2.2) RB isolation Failure of the RB isolation resulting in a release pathway.

BASIS:

Attempt isolation from the Control Room prior to event classification.

  • This condition has at least two valves failed and a pathway exists for the release of fission products from the containment.

(Isolation can be considered successful if at least one valve closes.)

A breach of containment includes any unisolable containment penetration that opens a release pathway to the environment.

(A breach is when it cannot be isolated from the Control Room OR an unsuccessful attempt for isolation has been made from the Control Room.)

Reactor Building isolation failure on an INTACT interfacing system does not satisfy this EAL, an event should not be declared.

2.3) Rapid unexplained loss of RB pressure, following an initial pressure increase above normal levels.

BASIS:

"* The rapid (<1 minute) decrease in pressure is not attributable to containment spray or condensation effects.

"* The pressure drop is to normal or near normal RB pressure (i.e., less than 2 psig, typically 0 psig).

"* Normal RB pressure is between -1 and +2 psig.

' A LOCA has occurred and the RB sump and/or RB pressure indications are not increasing.

--.'ASIS:

  • Radiation monitors support that a loss of coolant has occurred but other containment parameters are in disagreement.
  • This address the condition when RB pressure and sump level do not increase as a result of mass and energy released into the RB from a LOCA (_>100 gpm).
  • This lack of increase (pressure sump level) indicates preincident failure of the RB or that the LOCA is outside the RB (e.g., interfacing system LOCA or a V-sequence failure).
3) Plant Exhaust RM-A-8 Gas Hi Range Ž 200 CPM BASIS:

This is indicative of a 120 gpm leak with the RCS activity _>Tech Spec, assuming leakage in the Auxiliary building that cannot be isolated. This provides for fission products to be outside the containment barrier (bypassed) and can be considered as lost.

Station Blackout condition exists, as indicated by:

1) Loss of off-site power (LOOP) to both 1A and 1B Auxiliary Transformers for greater than 15 minutes.

AND

2) No emergency 4 KV bus (1 D or 1E) energized for greater than 15 minutes.

(1 AND 2)

APPLICABILITY: Power Operation, Hot Standby, Hot Shutdown, Startup, Heatup/Cooldown BASIS:

Loss of AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power, including Decay Heat Removal, ECCS, containment heat removal systems, and closed/river water cooling systems. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses.

The 1 D or 1E 4KV busses may be energized automatically or manually by their respective emergency diesel generators or manually by the SBO diesel generator. Additionally the Main Turbine Generator may be used to energize the buses.

  • Prolonged loss of all AC power will cause core uncovering and loss of containment integrity, thus the event can escalate to a General Emergency via a Fission Product Barrier Degradation EAL, or SM/ED judgement.

Subsequent start and load of one on-site power source (EG-Y-1A, EG-Y-1B, EG-Y-4 or Main Turbine) to energize 1D or 1E 4KV bus enables the event to be downgraded to an Alert.

Subsequent start and load of two on-site power sources (EG-Y-1A, EG-Y-1B, EG-Y-4 or Main Turbine) to energize 1D or 1E 4KV bus enables the event to be downgraded to an Unusual Event

OR 2b) There is only ONE on-site power source available and supplying power to ONE emergency bus.

(1 AND 2a OR 1 AND 2b)

APPLICABILITY: Power Operation, Hot Standby, Hot Shutdown, Startup, Heatup/Cooldown BASIS:

This EAL is based upon degradation of off-site and on-site power systems such that any additional single failure would result in a station blackout.

This EAL is met if a loss of off-site power is sustained for more than 15 minutes, and if 1 D or 1E 4KV bus remains energized or becomes energized without a backup on-site power source.

The 1D or 1E 4KV busses may be energized automatically or manually by their respective emergency diesel generators or manually by the SBO diesel generator or the Main Turbine Generator.

A load rejection (separation from the grid with the main generator supplying station loads) meets this EAL if either 1D or 1E 4KV bus is de-energized and there are no emergency diesel generators operable.

The subsequent loss of the single on-site power source would escalate the event to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY.

1) Loss of off-site power (LOOP) to both 1A and 1 B Auxiliary Transformers for greater than 15 minutes AND
2) Both emergency 4KV Buses (1D or 1E) energized AND
3) There are 2 or more on-site power sources providing power to at least one emergency bus.

(1 AND 2 AND 3)

APPLICABILITY: All Plant Conditions BASIS:

Loss of off-site AC power reduces required redundancy and potentially degrades the level of safety of the plant by rendering the plant more vulnerable to a complete Loss of AC Power (Station Blackout). Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses.

This EAL is met if a loss of off-site power is sustained for 15 minutes and, either 1D or 1 E 4KV bus remains energized or becomes energized within that 15 minutes.

The 1D or 1E 4KV busses may be energized automatically or manually by their respective emergency diesel generators or manually by the SBO diesel generator. Additionally, a second on-site source of power must be available.

The 2 or more sources of power are made up from the following list:

AND

2) No emergency 4KV bus (1 D or 1 E) energized for greater than 15 minutes.

(1 AND 2)

APPLICABILITY: Cold Shutdown, Refueling Shutdown BASIS:

Loss of AC power compromises all safety systems requiring electric power, including Decay Heat Removal, Spent Fuel Cooling, and closed/river water cooling systems. When in Cold Shutdown, refueling, or defueled, the event can be classified as an Alert because of the significantly reduced decay heat, temperature, and pressure, increasing the time to restore one of the emergency busses, relative to that specified for the Site Area Emergency EAL. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses.

The 1D or 1E 4KV busses may be energized automatically or manually by their respective emergency diesel generators (EG-Y-1A or EG-Y-1 B) or manually by the SBO diesel generator (EG-Y-4).

  • Subsequent start and load of at least one on-site power source (EG-Y-1A, EG-Y-1 B OR EG-Y-4) to energize the 1D or 1 E 4K bus enables the event to be downgraded to an Unusual Event.

Escalation to a Site Area Emergency, if appropriate, would be due to abnormal radiation levels/radiological effluent, or SM/ED judgement.

APPLICABILITY: Cold Shutdown, Refueling Shutdown BASIS:

This EAL addresses prolonged boiling following a loss of Decay Heat Removal and is indicative of potential core damage without RCS boundary integrity being assured.

This EAL addresses the special condition of Shutdown and the available inventory to maintain the integrity of the fuel clad. In these particular plant conditions it is possible to have the RCS open (Breached) and to not have Containment Integrity as it may not be required by Technical Specifications.

This is an unexpected and potentially prolonged condition with normal and backup means of cooling not available.

This level ensures that the Emergency Organization is activated to insure protection of the health and safety of the public.

A core exit temperature of 250 Superheat is an indication that fuel is uncovered and is relied upon when level indication is not available. The loss of level indication is anticipatory because inventory is still available for some finite time. Conservatively core uncovery is assumed when the level indication is lost.
