- 2. Immediate Actions 2.1 Determine operating mode that existed at the time the event occurred prior to any protection system or operator action initiated in response of the event.
2.2 IF the plant was in Mode 1-4 and a valid condition affects fission plrodLuct barriers, proceed to Enclosure 4. 1.
RP/O/A/5000/001 Page 3 of 3 2.3 IF a General Emergency is NOT declared in Step 2.2 OR the condition does not affect fission product barriers, review the listing of enclosures to determine if the event is applicable to one the categories shown.
2.4 Compare actual plant conditions to the Emergency Action Levels listed, then declare the appropriate Emergency Class as indicated.
2.5 Implement the applicable Emergency Response Procedure (RP) for that classification and continue with subsequent steps of this procedure.

'001 Page 1 of 5 Use EALs to determine Fission Product Barrier status (Intact, Potential Loss, or Loss). Add points for all 3 barriers. Classify according to the table below.
Note 1: This table is only applicable in Modes 1-4.
Note 2: Also, an event (or multiple events) could occur which results in the conclusion that exceeding the Loss or Potential Loss thresholds is IMMINENT (i.e., within 1-3 hours). In this IMMINENT LOSS situation, use judgement and classify as if the thresholds are exceeded.
Note 3: When determining Fission Product Barrier status, the Fuel Clad Barrier should be considered to be lost or potentially lost if the conditions for the Fuel Clad Barrier loss or potential loss EALs were met previously during the event, even if the conditions do not currently exist.
Note 4: Critical Safety Function (CSF) indications are not meant to include transient alarm conditions which may appear during the start-up of engineered safeguards equipment. A CSF condition is satisfied when the alarmed state is valid and sustained. The STA should be consulted to affirm that a CSF has been validated and the appropriate functional restoration procedure has been implemented prior to the CSF being used as a basis to classify an emergency.

.8 RP/O/A/5000/001 Definitions/Acronyms Page I of 3 ALERT-Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA protective action guideline exposure levels.
ALL (As relates to Operating Mode Applicability) - Modes 1,2,3,4,5,6 and No Mode (Defueled)
BOMB-A fused explosive device.
CARF - Containment Air'Return Fan.
CIVIL DISTURBANCE - A group of ten (10) or more people violently protesting station operations or activities at the site. A civil disturbance is considered to be violent when force has been used in an attempt to injure site personnel or damage plant property.
CREDIBLE THREAT - A threat should be considered credible when:
"* Physical evidence supporting the threat exists.
"* Information independent (law enforcement) from the actual threat message exists that supports the threat.
"* A specific group or organization claims responsibility for the threat.
EPA PAG - Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guidelines for exposure to a release of radioactive material.
EXPLOSION - A rapid, violent unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment (e.g., a steamline or feedwater line break) that imparts energy sufficient to potentially damage or creates shrapnel to actually damage permanent structures, systems or components. An electrical breaker flash that creates shrapnel and results in damage to other components beyond scorching should also be considered.
EXTORTION - An attempt to cause an action at the site by threat of force.
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 flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. An electrical breaker flash that creates high temperatures for a short duration and merely localized scorching to that breaker and its compartment should be considered a fire.
FUNCTIONAL - A component is fully capable of meeting its design function. It would be declared INOPERABLE if unable to meet Technical Specifications.
GENERAL EMERGENCY-Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels outside the Site Boundary.
.8 RP/O/A/5000/001 Definitions/Acronyms Page 2 of 3 HOSTAGE - A person or object held as leverage against the site to ensure demands will be met by the site.
HOSTILE FORCE - One of more individuals present in a protected area without authorization that may have or have threatened to use force in an attempt to injure site personnel or damage plant property.
IMMINENT - Expected to occur within 1-3 hours.
INOPERABLE - A component does not meet Technical Specifications. The component may be functional, capable of meeting its design.
INABILITY TO DIRECTLY MONITOR - Operational Aid Computer data points are unavailable or gauges/panel indications are not readily available to the operator.
INTRUSION/INTRUDER - Suspected hostile individual present in a protected area without authorization.
LOSS - A component is INOPERABLE and not FUNCTIONAL.
PROLONGED - a duration beyond normal limits, defined as "greater than 15 minutes" or as determined by the judgement of the emergency Coordinator.
PROTECTED AREA - Encompasses all owner controlled areas within the security perimeter fence.
RUPTURED (As relates to 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, misalignment, or misoperation of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment unavailable.
SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT-An unplanned event involving one or more of the following: (1)
Automatic turbine runback >25% thermal reactor power, (2) Electrical load rejection >25% full electrical load; (3) Reactor Trip, (4) Safety Injection, (5) Thermal power oscillations >10%.
SITE AREA EMERGENCY - Events are in process or have occunred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are NOT expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA protective action guideline exposure levels outside the Site Boundary.
SITE BOUNDARY - That area, including the protected area, in which Duke Power Company has the authority to control all activities, including exclusion or removal of personnel and property.
SLC - Selected Licensee Commitments.
.8 RP/0/A/5000/001 Definitions/Acronyms Page 3 of 3 SECURITY EVENT - A security related emergency situation for which prompt response by the Security Force, immediate action by plant personnel, and/or assistance from offsite agencies may be required to apprehend intruders and mitigate the effects of or prevent radiological sabotage.
SUSTAINED - A duration of time long enough to confirm that the CSF is valid (not momentary).
TERMINATION - Exiting the emergency condition.
TOTAL EFFECTIVE DOSE EQUIVALENT (TEDE) - The sum of external dose exposure to radioactive plume, to radionuclides deposited on the ground by the plume, and the internal exposure inhaled radionuclides deposited in the body.
TOXIC GAS - A gas that is dangerous to life or health by reason of inhalation or skin contact (e.g.
chlorine).
UNCONTROLLED - Event is not the result of planned actions by the plant staff.
UNPLANNED - An event or action is UNPLANNED if it is not the expected result of normal operations, testing, or maintenance. Events that result in corrective or mitigative actions being taken in accordance with abnormal or emergency procedures are UNPLANNED.
UNUSUAL EVENT-Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or "monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
VALID - An indication or report or condition is considered to be VALID when it is conclusively verified by: (I ) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant instrumentation, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel such that doubt related to the instrument's operability, the condition's existence or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.
VIOLENT - Force has been used in an attempt to injure site personnel or damage plant property.
VISIBLE DAMAGE - Damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analyses. Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of affected structure, system, or component. Example damage: deformation due 1
to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, paint blistering.
VITAL AREA - Areas within the PROTECTED AREA that house equipment important for nuclear safety. Access to a VITAL AREA is allowed only if an individual has been authorized to be in that area.
.9 RP/O/A/5000/001 Emergency Declaration Guidelines Page 1 of 2 THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS TO BE USED BY THE EMERGENCY COORDINATOR IN ASSESSING EMERGENCY CONDITIONS.
"* The Emergency Coordinator shall review all applicable initiating events to ensure proper classification.
The BASIS Document (located in Section D of the Catawba Nuclear Site Emergency Plan) is available for review if any questions arise over proper classification.
Emergencies are declared for the site. If an event results in multiple emergency action levels on a unit or different emergency action levels on each unit, then the emergency declaration shall be based on the higher classification. Information relating to the unit with the lesser classification will be noted as additional information on the Emergency Notification Form (ENF).
If an event occurs, and a lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the classification can be made, the classification shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred.
The fission product barrier matrix is applicable only to those events that occur at (Mode 1-4) hot shutdown or higher. An event that is recognized at cold shutdown or lower (Mode 5 or 6) shall not be classified using the fission product banier matrix. Reference would be made to the other enclosures that provide emergency action levels for specific events (e.g. severe weather, fire, security).
"* If a transient event should occur, the following guidance is provided.
- i.
Some emergency action levels specify that a condition exist for a specific duration prior to declaration.
- a.
For these EALs, the classification is made when the Emergency Coordinator assessment concludes that the specified duration is exceeded or will be exceeded (i.e. condition cannot be reasonably corrected before the duration elapses),
whichever is sooner.
- b.
If a plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is corrected before the specified duration time is exceeded, the event is NOT classified by that EAL. Lower Severity EALs, if any, shall be reviewed for possible applicability in these cases.
- 2.
If a plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is not recognized at the time of occurrence, but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g. as a result of routine log or record review) and the condition no longer exists, an emergency shall NOT be declared.
Reporting under 10CFR50.72 may be required. Such a condition could occur, for example, if a follow-up evaluation of an abnormal condition uncovers evidence that the "condition was more severe than earlier believed.
.9 RP/O/A15000/001 Emergency Declaration Guidelines Page 2 of 2
- 3.
If an emergency classification is warranted, but the plant condition is corrected prior to declaration and notification, the Emergency Coordinator must consider the potential that the initiating condition (e.g. Failure of Reactor Protection System or earthquake) may have caused plant damage that warrants augmenting the on-shift personnel via activation of the Emergency Response Organization. The following action shall be taken:
- a.
For UNUSUAL EVENTS, the condition shall be declared and notifications made. The event may be terminated in the same notification or in a follow-up notification.
- b.
For ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, and GENERAL EMERGENCY, the event shall be declared and the emergency response organization activated.
DETERMINATION OF "EVENT TIME" (TIME THE 15 MINUTE CLOCK STARTS)
I.
If plant conditions require implementation of EP/t or 2/A/5000/E-0 (Reactor Trip or Safety Injection), increased emphasis shall be given to evaluation of plant conditions for determination of EAL(s) when "kickout" of the diagnostic procedure occurs. "Event Time" is the time at which the EAL(s) is determined.
- 2.
If plant conditions do not require implementation of EP/I or 2/A/5000/E-0 (Reactor Trip or Safety Injection), and conditions of a specific EAL are met, the "Event Time" is the time at which the EAL(s) is determined.
- 3.
The time the event is classified shall be entered on the emergency notification form.
MOMENTARY ENTRY INTO A HIGHER CLASSIFICATION If, while in an emergency classification, the specified EALs of a higher classification are met momentarily, and in the judgment of the Emergency Coordinator are not likely to recur, the entry into the higher classification must be acknowledged. Acknowledgment is performed as follows:
If this condition occurs prior to the initial notification to the emergency response organization and off site agencies, the initial message should note that the site is currently in the lower classification, but had momentarily met the criteria for the higher classification. It should also be noted that plant conditions have improved and stabilized to the point that the criteria for the higher classification are not expected to be repeated.
