o 1.2 ALERT An ALERT shall be declared within 15 minutes of having information necessary to make a declaration.

. 1.4 GENERAL EMERGENCY A GENERAL EMERGENCY shall be declared within 15 minutes of having information necessary to make a declaration.
EP-AD-000-200, Revision 16, Page 1 of 39
TAB 2 EP-PS-245-2 CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCY CONDITIONS USE OF EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION MATRIX NOTE: CONFIRM THAT INDICATORS AND/OR ALARMS REFLECT ACTUAL CONDITIONS PRIOR TO TAKING ACTION BASED ON THE INDICATOR OR ALARM.
The matrix is worded in a manner that assumes parameter values indicated are the actual conditions present in the plant.
The matrix is designed to make it possible to precisely classify an abnormal occurrence into the proper emergency classification based on detailed Emergency Action Level (EAL) descriptions. It is impossible to anticipate every abnormal occurrence.
Therefore, before classifying any abnormal occurrence based on the EALs in the matrix, one should verify that the general conditions prevalent in-plant and offsite meet the general class description of the emergency classification. In addition, prior to classification, one should be aware of the ramifications in-plant and particularly offsite of that classification. Special consideration of offsite consequences should be made prior to declaring a GENERAL EMERGENCY.
EP-AD-000-200, Revision 16, Page 2 of 39
TAB 2 EP-PS-245-2 POLICY STATEMENT ON EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS Policy When an emergency action level (EAL) is exceeded but the plant quickly returns below the EAL, the emergency should be declared. If appropriate, the emergency can also be downgraded or terminated at essentially the same time and the Emergency Notification Form can say the emergency was declared and terminated (or downgraded) minutes later.
Example The main steam lines isolate on high radiation due to a large oil intrusion into the vessel. The isolation on high radiation is a trigger to declare an Alert. If it can quickly be determined that the cause was not damage to the fuel and we should not be in an Alert, then the Alert should be declared and terminated with the same notification report.
Basis Declaring the emergency will notify interested offsite personnel and will demonstrate that we recognize that we exceeded an EAL. Immediately terminating or downgrading will avoid activation of company and offsite facilities that are not required for this event.

TAB 2 EP-PS-245-2 CLASS DESCRIPTIONS UNUSUAL EVENT Events that are occurring 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.
ALERT Events that are occurring 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.
SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events that are occurring or have occurred which involve actual or imminent major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except inside the emergency planning boundary.
GENERAL EMERGENCY - Events that are occurring or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Expectation is that releases will exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the emergency planning boundary.
