PURPOSE This procedure outlines the basic emergency plan requirements and actions to be followed by the Control Room personnel in an emergency.
DISCUSSION There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, with the and General Emergency. The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests personnel to Shift ManagerJPlant Emergency Director, who, in turn, instructs Control Room 15 activate the notification system. Notification of State authorities must be initiated within the minutes after the event has been classified. The NRC must be notified immediately after States' notification, but not later than one (1) hour after the event has been classified.
An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential the public degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or Event conditions off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.
The basic shift complement is able to deal with Unusual Event conditions. On-duty organization, personnel are assigned to functions as required. Additional members of the plant on-duty personnel as including top management, are notified by Plant Security, and augment the site report to necessary. The Duty On Call Officer who is available on an on-call basis must and and will assume the role of the TSC Coordinator. Dissemination of public information closure or escalation to a more severe classification will occur as conditions warrant.
safety An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant assessment, margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
An Alert event requires action beyond the normal capability of the basic shift classification complement. Plant response and off-site notification associated with this event to activate the Technical ensure that sufficient emergency response personnel are mobilized Support Center and the Operations Support Center. The Emergency Operations and Facility/Recovery Center is activated with the Site Recovery Manager, the EOF Coordinator assess off-site other EOF/RC staff members. Sufficient emergency assistance personnel to Actual releases radiological impact are assigned if the Alert event is producing releases off-site.
and of radioactivity which substantially exceed Technical Specification limits may involved be emergency thus radiation monitoring and dose projection may be an integral portion of the follow-up information is response required. Prompt notification is made to State authorities and provided as needed to off-site emergency organizations.
OP 3540 Rev. 3 Page 3 of 16
A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures some of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for monitor the releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to and follow-up information as releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities needed to off-site emergency organizations.
Plant resources are anticipated to be sufficient to cope with a Site Area Emergency.
to the site. All Outside resources, however, are mobilized and selected members are dispatched All emergency centers are activated following declaration of a Site Area Emergency.
States are non-essential personnel are evacuated from the site. Representatives from adjoining and off-site dispatched to the Emergency Operations Facility. Assessment of plant conditions of the radiological parameters determine the type of protective measures necessary for protection and periodic updates of public sector. The public is notified of the event by local media facilities information are released to ensure uniform, adequate response to real conditions.
has A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting possibility does exist for occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The to monitor the releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.
are Contracted service organizations, sponsor utilities, and other industry resources resources are alerted and requested to render assistance as appropriate. In addition, Federal parameters called upon for assistance. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological determine the type of protective action recommendations.
to Plant representatives closeout or escalate the emergency classification, or move off-site recovery as conditions warrant. Written summaries of the event are provided to authorities and other affected agencies.
an Upon declaration of an emergency classification, the Control Room becomes the Plant Emergency Emergency Response Facility and the Shift Manager assumes the duties of Director (PED).
During the initial stages of an emergency, the PED will direct all phases of the emergency response. Actions will include:
- Classifying an emergency
- Notifying appropriate State authorities
- Notifying the NRC
- Initiating on-site habitability surveys, if necessary
- Formulating on-site personnel response recommendations, if necessary
- Performing initial off-site dose assessment, if necessary
- Initiating corrective actions required to restore normal operation, if necessary functions will As personnel respond to other Emergency Response Facilities, emergency Recovery be transferred to the Technical Support Center Coordinator (TSCC) or the Site Manager (SRM) as appropriate.
OP 3540 Rev. 3 Page 4 of 16
Emergency Classification and PAR Notification Form (VYOPF 3540.06) specifies the contents and formal States notifications of emergency classifications and protective action recommendations (PARs) by Vermont Yankee, and is used by the Control Room in the authorization and transmittal of these notifications. Prior to the SRM assuming responsibility for the emergency response, the TSC Coordinator can authorize escalations and PARs, but the Control Room retains transmittal responsibilities to off-site agencies.
In the event that a Control Room evacuation and plant shutdown using alternate methods are required, Appendix A will be used to initially notify the States and the NRC of the declared emergency.
In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

PURPOSE To outline the actions required to activate the Technical Support Center (TSC).
DISCUSSION The TSC is activated depending on the classification of the emergency. There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emeirgency.
The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests with the Shift Manager/Plant Emergency Director.
An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or the public off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event conditions will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.
An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant safety margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact assessment, but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for some releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities and follow-up information as needed to off-site emergency organizations.
A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting has occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The possibility does exist for releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.
The Technical Support Center Coordinator (TSCC) designates an individual responsible for initiating this procedure following an emergency classification announcement.
In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

PURPOSE To outline the operation of the Technical Support Center (TSC).
DISCUSSION There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, with the and General Emergency. The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests personnel to Shift Manager/Plant Emergency Director, who, in turn, instructs Control Room 15 activate the notification system. Notification of State authorities must be initiated within after the minutes after the event has been classified. The NRC must be notified immediately States' notification, but not later than one (1) hour after the event has been classified.
An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential or the public degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site conditions off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event require a change in operation will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not status.
The basic shift complement is able to deal with Unusual Event conditions. On-duty organization, personnel are assigned to functions as required. Additional members of the plant personnel as including top management, are notified by Plant Security, and augment on-duty report to the site necessary. The Duty On Call Officer who is available on an on-call basis must information and and will assume the role of the TSC Coordinator. Dissemination of public closure or escalation to a more severe classification will occur as conditions warrant safety An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant off-site impact assessment, margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
An Alert event requires action beyond the normal capability of the basic shift complement. Plant response and off-site notification associated with this event classification ensure that sufficient emergency response personnel are mobilized to activate the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Operations Support Center (OSC). The Emergency Operations the Facility/Recovery Center (EOF/RC) is activated with the Site Recovery Manager (SRM),

Prompt notification is made to State authorities and information is provided as needed to off-site emergency organizations.
A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures for some of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist the releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor follow-up information as releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities and needed to off-site emergency organizations.

PURPOSE To outline the actions required to activate the Operations Support Center (OSC).
DISCUSSION The OSC is activated depending on the classification of the emergency. There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests with the Shift Manager/Plant Emergency Director.
An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or the public off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event conditions will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.
An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant safety margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact assessment, but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for some releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities and follow-up information as needed to off-site emergency organizations.
A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting has occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The possibility does exist for releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.
The Operations Support Center Coordinator (OSCC) designates an individual responsible for initiating this procedure following an emergency classification announcement.
In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

Effectiveness Determination For each applicable (i.e., a "yes" answer specified) standard to 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 identified from Section A above, complete the evaluation form below to determine whether the change decreases the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and whether it continues to meet the stated applicable standard or requirement.
A facsimile of the evaluation form may be used as needed and attached to this checklist.
For applicable item 10 CFR 50.47(b)(1) of Section A above, this change DOES NOT decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and DOES continue to meet the stated applicable standard or requirement.
BASIS FOR ANSWER:
The change defines the position of OSC Dispatcher and adds responsibility of Ops Work Coordinator to Switching/Tagging Coordinator. These are not key positions, but staff positions that the staff has found to be useful during an emergency. By defining the positions, it adds formality and limits HU. Other changes are minor and enhance the procedure by adding formality and helping to reduce HU. None of these changes decrease the effectiveness of the E-Plan and it continues to meet all requirements.

PURPOSE To outline the operation of the Operations Support Center (OSC).
DISCUSSION There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests with the Shift Manager/Plant Emergency Director, who, in turn, instructs Control Room personnel to activate the notification system. Notification of State authorities must be initiated within 15 minutes after the event has been classified. The NRC must be notified immediately after the States' notification, but not later than one (1) hour after the event has been classified.
An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or the public off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event conditions will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.
The basic shift complement is able to deal with Unusual Event conditions. On-duty personnel are assigned to functions as required. Additional members of the plant organization, including top management, are notified by Plant Security, and augment on-duty personnel as necessary. The Duty On Call Officer who is available on an on-call basis must report to the site and will assume the role of the TSC Coordinator. Dissemination of public information and closure or escalation to a more severe classification will occur as conditions warrant.
An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant safety margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact assessment, but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
An Alert event requires action beyond the normal capability of the basic shift complement. Plant response and off-site notification associated with this event classification ensure that sufficient emergency response personnel are mobilized to activate the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Operations Support Center (OSC). The Emergency Operations Facility/Recovery Center (EOF1RC) is activated with the Site Recovery Manager (SRM), the EOF Coordinator and other EOF/RC staff members. Sufficient emergency assistance personnel to assess off-site radiological impact are assigned if the Alert event is producing releases off-site.
Actual releases of radioactivity which substantially exceed Technical Specification limits may be involved and thus radiation monitoring and dose projection may be an integral portion of the emergency response required. Prompt notification is made to State authorities and follow-up information is provided as needed to off-site emergency organizations.
A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for some releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities and follow-up information as needed to off-site emergency organizations.
OP 3544 Rev. 3 Page 3 of 11
Plant resources are anticipated to be sufficient to cope with a Site Area Emergency.
Outside resources, however, are mobilized and selected members are dispatched to the site. All emergency centers are activated following declaration of a Site Area Emergency. All non-essential personnel are evacuated from the site. Representatives from adjoining States are dispatched to the Emergency Operations Facility. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological parameters determine the type of protective measures necessary for protection of the public sector. The public is notified of the event by local media facilities and periodic updates of information are released to ensure uniform, adequate response to real conditions.
A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting has occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The possibility does exist for releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.
Contracted service organizations, sponsor utilities, and other industry resources are alerted and requested to render assistance as appropriate. In addition, Federal resources are called upon for assistance. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological parameters determine the type of protective action recommendations.
Plant representative's closeout or escalate the emergency classification, or move to recovery as conditions warrant. Written summaries of the event are provided to off-site authorities and other affected agencies.
The Operations Support Center Coordinator (OSCC) is responsible for initiating this procedure following appointment by the Technical Support Center Coordinator.
In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the scope of the procedure or program is not revised to include a different type of activity. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

PURPOSE To outline the actions required to activate the Emergency Operations Facility/Recovery Center (EOF/RC).
DISCUSSION The EOF/RC is activated depending on the classification of the emergency. There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests with the Shift Manager/Plant Emergency Director.
An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential public degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or the conditions off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.
An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant safety assessment, margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures some of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for monitor the releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to and follow-up information as releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities needed to off-site emergency organizations.
A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting has for occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The possibility does exist the ability to monitor the releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.
The first individual to arrive at the EOF is responsible for initiating this procedure following an emergency classification announcement.
In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability the Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided an procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is if the Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine to affect changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

The decision to make an immediate to Control Room personnel Shift Manager/Plant Emergency Director, who, in turn, instructs within 15 activate the notification system. Notification of State authorities must be initiated after the minutes after the event has been classified. The NRC must be notified immediately classified.
States' notification, but not later than one (1) hour after the event has been a potential An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates on-site or the public degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel Event conditions off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual operation a change in will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require status.

Additional members of the personnel as including top management, are notified by Plant Security, and augment on-duty report to the site must necessary. The Duty On Call Officer who is available on an on-call basis information and and will assume the role of the TSC Coordinator. Dissemination of public warrant closure or escalation to a more severe classification will occur as conditions plant safety An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of impact assessment, margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site but is not likely to require off-site protective action.
shift An Alert event requires action beyond the normal capability of the basic with this event classification complement. Plant response and off-site notification associated the Technical ensure that sufficient emergency response personnel are mobilized to activate Support Center and the Operations Support Center. The Emergency Operations Coordinator and EOF Facility/Recovery Center is activated with the Site Recovery Manager, the assess off-site to other EOF/RC staff members. Sufficient emergency assistance personnel off-site. Actual releases radiological impact are assigned if the Alert event is producing releases may be involved and of radioactivity which substantially exceed Technical Specification limits the emergency thus radiation monitoring and dose projection may be an integral portion of information is response required.

APPENDIX S TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE ESCALATION CHECKLIST/SCRIPT
_JIntroduction. Due to the present conditions at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power L
Escalation (EAL code .
plant, as of_:_ we have escalated our classification to:
Unusual Event. This emergency classification is the lowest of four NRC-defined levels.
Alert: This emergency classification is the second lowest of four NRC-defined levels.
Site Area: This emergency classification is the second highest of four NRC-defined levels.
General: This emergency classification is the highest of four NRC-defined levels.
Our decision to escalate the emergency classification is due to:
2 Increasing radiation levels Damaged reactor fuel cladding/or fission. prod. barriers Leakage of reactor coolant water A fire at the plant Natural phenomena: J River level U Wind velocity/Tornado L Earthquake L Loss of electrical power on the plant site U Loss of safety equipment
_ Other _ Explosion U Crash U Main turbine failure
_ Release of hazardous materials or toxic substance
_ Evacuation of control room E Security event General criteria as established by our emergency plans There has been no radioactivity released as a result of this incident.
CThere has been a minute release of radioactivity at the plant as a result of this event, but no increase was measurable at the site boundary and thus there were no public health or safety implications.
El There has been a radiation release from the plant that is measurable at the site boundary. The radiation dose per hour at the plant boundary is about _ millirem which is equivalent to what people receive from natural sources in about_ _ days. Normal background is about 1 mr/day from sun and earth.
(If appropriate) Our technical representative is here to provide a brief description of the plant condition at this point...
This classification of:
El Unusual Event: augments our on-shift technical resources at the plant and implements a formal notification process for offsite emergency organizations.
El Alert: partially mobilizes emergency response and technical personnel at the plant, activates Vermont Yankee's emergency response facilities including our emergency operations facility and this news media center, assigns responsibility for Vermont Yankee's overall response to a site recovery manager, and provides formal notification and follow-up information to offsite emergency response organizations. We also evacuate unassigned people from the plant site as a precaution.
Dl SAE: mobilizes all Vermont Yankee emergency response personnel, activates state and local emergency response facilities, provides for closer interaction with Vermont Yankee and state emergency response officials here in Brattleboro.
E GE: activates all available local, state and federal radiological emergency response resources and appropriate protective measures are determined based on weather conditions and actual or projected radiological conditions.
As we focus the additional technical resources on addressing the plant conditions we will be providing state emergency officials with continuous updates to support their response and will continue to hold joint press conferences to inform the news media. Area residents should stay tuned to the Emergency Alert System radio stations for further information from state public safety organizations. We will return here as soon as possible with additional information.
