PURPOSE4
This Procedure provides guidance in determining the classification and
declaration of an emergency based on plant conditions.
2.0
RESPONSIBILITY2' 4
The responsibility of declaring an Emergency based on the guidance within this
procedure belongs to the Shift Manager/Site Emergency Director (SM/SED) or
designated Unit Supervisor (US) when acting as the SM or the TSC Site
Emergency Director (SED). These duties CAN NOT be delegated.
3.0
INSTRUCTIONS 4
3.1
The criteria in WBN EPIP-1 are given for GUIDANCE ONLY:
knowledge of
actual plant conditions or the extent of the emergency may require that
additional steps be taken. In all cases, this logic procedure should be combined
with the sound judgment of the SM/SED and/or the TSC SED to arrive at a
classification for a particular set of circumstances.
3.2
The Nuclear Power (NP) Radiological Emergency Plan (REP) will be activated
when any one of the conditions listed in this logic is detected.
3.3
Classification Determination
3.3.1
To determine the classification of the emergency, review the Initiating
Conditions of the Events described in this procedure with the known or
suspected conditions and CARRY OUT the notifications and actions
referenced.
3.3.2
If a Critical Safety Function (CSF) is listed as an Initiating Condition: the
respective status tree criteria will be monitored and used to determine the
Event classification for the modes listed on the classification flowchart.
3.3.3
The highest classification for which an Emergency Action level (EAL)
currently exists shall be declared.

INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
3.3.4
After an Event classification, if the following investigation shows that
Initiating Conditions were met that dictate a higher Event classification,
the new event classification shall be declared at the clock time of the
determination.
3.3.5
IF an EAL for a higher classification was exceeded but the present
situation indicates a lower classification, the fact that the higher
classification occurred SHALL be reported to the NRC and Central
Emergency Control Center (CECC), but should not be declared.
3.3.6
IF the Parameter is indeterminate due to instrument malfunction and the
existence of the condition CAN NOT be reasonably discounted (i.e.,
spurious or false alarm that can be substantiated within 15 minutes) the
condition istNonsidered MET and the SM/SED SHALL follow the
indications provided until such time as the alarm is verified to be false.
3.3.7
IF an EAL was exceeded, but the emergency has been totally resolved
(prior to declaration), the emergency condition that was appropriate shall
not be declared but reported to the NRC and Operations Duty Specialist
(ODS) at the same clock time.
3.3.8
The ACCEPTABLE time frame for notification to the Operation Duty
Specialist (ODS) is considered to be five (5) minutes. This is the time
period between declaration of the emergency and notifying the ODS.

DEFINITIONS/ACRONYMS
,~
UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY and
GENERAL EMERGENCY: (see SED Judgment 4.7).
BOMB: An explosive device (See EXPLOSION).
CIVIL DISTURBANCE: A group of twenty (20) or more persons
violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
CREDIBLE SITE-SPECIFIC -The determination is made by
WBN senior plant management through use of information found in
the Safeguards Contingency Plan.
CRITICAL-SAFETY FUNCTION (CSFs): A plant safety
function required to prevent significant release of core radioactivity
to the environment. There are six CSFs: Sub-criticality, Core
Cooling, Heat Sink, Pressurized Thermal Shock, Integrity
(Containment) and Inventory (RCS).
EVENT: Assessment of an EVENT commences when recognition
is made that one or more of the conditions associated with the event
exist Implicit in this defiition is the need for timely assersmd, i.e.
within 15 minutes.
EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY (EAB): The demarcation of
the area surrounding the WBN units in which postulated FSAR
accidents will not result in population dose xceeding the criteria of
IO CFRPart 100. RefertoFigure7-A.
EXPLOSION: Arapid violent unconfmed combustion ora
catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that imparts energy of
sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures required
for safe operation.
EXTORTION: An attemptto cause
a ction atthestation by
threat of force.
FAULTED: (Steam Generator) Existence of secondary side leakage
(i.e., steam or feed line break) that results in an uncontrolled decrease
in steam generator pressure or the steamn generator being completely
depressurized.
FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat ad light Source of
smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical
components do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred
but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are
observed.
FLAMMABLE GAS: Combustible gases maintained at
concentrations less than the LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL)
will not explode due to ignition.
HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage againstthe stationto
ensure that demands will be met by the station.
INEFFECTIVE: The specified restoration action(s) does not result
in a reduction imthe level of severity of the RED PATH condition
within 15 minutes from identification of the Core Cooling CSF
Status Tree RED PATH. Areduction inthe level of severity is an
improvement in the applicable parameters, e~g, Increasing Trend in
Reactor Vessel Water Level (Full RVLIS) and/or Decreasing Trend
on Core Thermocouple Temperatures.
INITIATING CONDITIONS: Plant Parameters, radiation
monitor readings or personnel observations that identify an Event for
purposes of Emergency Plan Classification.
INTRUSION/INTRUDER: Suspected hostile individual present in
a protected area without authorization.
ODCM: Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.
PROJECTILE: An object ejected thrown, or launched towards a
plant structure. The source of the projectile may be onsite or offsite.
Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the integrity of the
affected structure orthe operability or reliability of safety equipment
contained therein.
PROTECTED AREA: Encompasses all owner controlled areas
within the security protected area fence as shown on Figure 4-A.
RED PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by the FR-O which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under extreme challenge; prompt operator
action is required
RUPTURED: (Steam Generator) Existence of primary to secondary
leakage of a magnitude greater than charging pump capacity.
SABOTAGE: Deliberate damage, misalignment, or mis-operation
of plant equipment withithe intent to render the equipment
SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: An UNPLANNED event
involving one or more of the following: (I) An automatic turbine
runback > 15% thermal reactor power, (2) Electrical load rejection >
25% full electrical load; (3) Reactor Trip or (4) Safety Injection
System Activation.
SITE PERIMETER (SP): Encompasses all owner controlled areas
in the immediate site environs as shown on Figures 4-Aand 7-A
STRIKE ACTION: A work stoppage within the PROTECTED
AREA by a body of workers to enforce compliance with demands
made on TVA The STRIKE ACTION must threaten to interrupt
normal plant operations.
TOXIC GAS: A gas that is dangerous to life or limb by reason of
inhalation or skin contact (e.g., chlorine).
UNPLANNED: An event or action that 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.
UNPLANNED: (With specific regard to radioactivity releases) A
release of radioactivity is UNPLANNED if the release has not been
authorized by a Discharge Permit (DP). Implicit in this definition are
unintentional releases, unmonitored releases, or planned releases that
exceed a condition specified on the DP, e.g., alarm setpoints,
minimum dilution flow, minimum release times, maximum release
rates, and/or discharge of incorrect tank.
VALID: An indication or report or condition is considered to be
VALID when it is conclusively verified by (1) an instrument channel
check, or (2) indications om related or redundant indicators, or (3) by
direct observation by plant personnel. Implicit in this definition is the
need for timely assessmen, Le., hithin 15 minutes.
VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment that is readily
observable without measurements, testing, or analyses. Damage is
sufficient enough to cause concern regarding the continued
operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or
component Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or
impact, denting penetration, rupture, cracking and/or paint
blistering Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping scratches) should
NOT be included.
VITAL AREA: Is amy area within the PROTECTED AREAwhich
contains equipment, systems, devices, or material, the failure,
destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger
the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.
ORANGE PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs byFR0 which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under severe challenge.

DEFINITIONS/ACRONYMS
UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY and
GENERAL EMERGENCY: (see SED Judgment 4.7).
BOMB: An explosive device (See EXPLOSION).
CIVIL DISTURBANCE: A group oftwenty (20) or more persons
violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
CREDIBLE SITE-SPECIFIC -The determination is made by
WBN senior plant management through use of information found in
the Safeguards Contingency Plan.
CRITICAL-SAFETY FUNCrION (CSFs): A plant safety
function reqluired to prevent significant release of core radioactivity
to the environment. There are six CSFs: Sub-criticality, Core
Cooling, Heat Sink, Pressurized Themnal Shock, Integrity
(Containment) and Inventory (RCS).
EVENT: Assessment of an EVENT commences when recognition
is made that one or more of the conditions associated with the event
exist. Implicit in this defition is the need for timely assessment, i.e.
within 15 minutes.
EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY (EAB): The demarcation of
the area surrounding the WBN units in which postulated FSAR
accidents will not result in population doses'exceeding the criteria of
10 CFRPart 100. Referto Figure 7-A.
EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a
catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that imparts energy of
sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures required
for safe operation.
EXTORTION: An attempt to cause an action at the station by
threat of force.
FAULTED: (Steam Generator) Existence of secondary side leakage
(i.e., steam or feed line break) that results in an uncontrolled decrease
in steam generator pressure or the steam generator being completely
depressurized.
FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light. Source of
smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical
components do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred
but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are
observed.
FLAMMABLE GAS: Combustible gases maintained at
concentrations less than the LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL)
will not explode due to ignition.
HOSTAGE: Aperson(s) held as leverage againstthe stationto
ensure that demands will be met by the station.
INEFFECTIVE: The specified restoration action(s) does not result
in a reduction inthe level of severity ofthe RED PATH condition
within 15 minutes from identification of the Core Cooling CSF
Status Tree RED PATH. A reduction in the level of severity is an
improvement in the applicable parameters, e.g., Increasing Trend in
Reactor Vessel Water Level (Full RVLIS) and/or Decreasing Trend
on Core Thermocouple Temperatures.
INITIATING CONDITIONS: Plant Parameters, radiation
monitor readings or personnel observations that identify an Event for
purposes of Emergency Plan Classification
INTRUSION/INTRUDER: Suspected hostile individual present in
a protected area without authorization.
ODCM: Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.
ORANGE PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by FR-0 which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under severe challenge.
PROJECTILE: An object ejected, thrown, or launched towards a
plant structure. The source of the projectile may be onsite or offsite.
Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the integrity of the
affected structure or the operability or reliability of safety equipment
contained therein.
PROTECTED AREA: Encompasses all owner controlled areas
within the security protected area fence as shown on Figure 4-A
RED PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by the FR-0 which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under extreme challenge; prompt operator
action is required.
RUPTURED: (Steam Generator) Existence of primary to secondary
leakage of a magnitude greater than charging pump capacity.
SABOTAGE: Deliberate damage, misalignment, or mis-operaticn
of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment
SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: An UNPLANNED event
involving one or more ofthe following: (I) An automatic turbine
ninback > 15% thermal reactor power, (2) Electrical load rejection >
25% full electrical load; (3) Reactor Trip or (4) Safety Injection
System Activation.
SITE PERIMETER (SP): Encompasses all owner controlled areas
inthe immediate site environs as shown on Figures 4-Aand 7-A.
STRIKE ACTION: Awork stoppage withintihe PROTECTED
AREAby a body of workers to enforce compliance with demands
made on TVA. The STRIKE ACTION must threaten to interrupt
normal plant operations.
TOXIC GAS: A gas that is dangerous to life or limb by reason of
inhalation or skin contact (e.g., chlorine).
UNPLANNED: An event or action that 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.
UNPLANNED: (With specific regard to radioactivity releases) A
release of radioactivity is UNPLANNED if the release has not been
authorized by a Discharge Permit (DP). Implicit in this definition are
unintentional releases, unmonitored releases, or planned releases that
exceed a condition specified on the DP, e.g., alarm setpoints,
minimum dilution flow, miniMum release times, maximum release
rates, and/or discharge of incorrect tank.
VALID: An indicaton or report or condition is considered to be
VALID when it is conclusively verified by (1) an instrument channel
check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by
direct observation by plant personnel. Implicit inthis definition is the
need for timely assessment, i.e., within 15 minutes.
VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment that is readily
observable without measurements, testing, or analyses. Damage is
sufficient enough to cause concern regarding the continued
operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or
component Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or
impact, denting, penetration rupture, cracking, and/or paint
blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should
NOT be included.
VITAL AREA: Is any area withinthe PROTECTED AREA wvich
contains equipment, systems, devices, or material, the failure,
destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger
the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

DEFINITIONS/ACRONYMS
UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY and
GENERAL EMERGENCY: (see SED Judgment 4.7).
BOMB: An explosive device (See EXPLOSION).
CIVIL DISTURBANCE: Agroup oftwerty (20) or morepersons
violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
CREDIBLE SITE-SPECIFIC -The determination is made by
WBN senior plant management through use of information found in
the Safeguards Contingency Plan.
CRITICALJSAFETY FUNCTION (CSFs): A plant safety
function required to prevent significant release of core radioactivity
to the environment. There are six CSFs: Sub-criticality, Core
Cooling Heat Sink, Pressurized Thermal Shock, Integrity
(Containment) and Inventory (RCS).
EVENT: Assessment of an EVENT commences when recognitom
is made that one or more of The conditions associated with the event
exist. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment i.e.
within 15 minutes.
EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY (EAB): The demarcation of
the area surrounding the WBN units in whichli'stulated FSAR
accidents will not result in population doses exceeding the criteria of
10 CFR Part 100. Refer to Figure 7-A.
EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent, uconfined combustion, or a
catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that imparts energy of
sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures required
for safe operation.
EXTORTION: An attempt to cause an action at the station by
threat of force.
FAULTED: (Steam Generator) Existence of secondary side leakage
(i.e., steam or feed line break) that results in an uncontrolled decrease
in steam generator pressure or the steam generator being completely
depressurized
FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light Source of
smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical
components do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred
but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are
observed.
FLAMMABLE GAS: Combustible gases maintained at
concentrations less than the LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL)
will not explode due to ignition.
HOSTAGE: Aperson(s)held as leverage againstthe station to
ensure that demands will be met by the station.
INEFFECTIVE: The specified restoration action(s) does not result
in a reduction in the level of severity of the RED PATH condition
within 15 minutes from identification ofthe Core Cooling CSF
Status Tree RED PATH. A reduction in the level of severity is an
improvement in the applicable parameters, e.g., Increasing Trend in
Reactor Vessel Water Level (Full RVLIS) and/or Decreasing Trend
on Core Thermocouple Temperatures.
INITIATING CONDITIONS: Plant Parameters, radiation
monitor readings or personnel observations that identify an Event for
purposes of Emergency Plan Classification.
INTRUSION/INTRUDER: Suspected hostile individual present in
a protected area without authorization
ODCM: Offlite Dose Calculation Manual.
ORANGE PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by FR-0 which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under severe challenge.
PROJECTILE: An object ejected thrown, or launched towards a
plant structure. The source of the projectile may be onsite or offsite.
Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the integrity of the
affected structure or the operability or reliability of safety equipment
contained therein.
PROTECTED AREA: Encompasses all owner controlled areas
within the security protected area fence as shown on Figure 4-A
RED PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by the FR-0 which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under extreme challenge; prompt operator
action is required.
RUPTURED: (Steam Generator) Existence of primary to secondary
leakage of a magnitude greater than charging pump capacity.
SABOTAGE: Deliberate damage, misalignment, or mis-operation
of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment
SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: An UNPLANNED event
involving one or more of the following: (1) An automatic turbine
runback > 15%thermal reactor power, (2) Electrical load rejection >
25% full electrical load; (3) Reactor Trip or (4) Safety Injection
System Activation.
SITE PERIMETER (SP): Encompasses all owner controlled areas
in the immediate site environs as shown on Figures 4-Aand 7-A.
STRIKE ACTION: A work stoppage within the PROTECTED
AREAby a body of workers to enforce compliance with demands
made on TVA. The STRIKE ACTION must threaten to interrupt
normal plant operations.
TOXIC GAS: A gas that is dangerous to life or limb by reason of
inhalation or skin contact (e.g., chlorine).
UNPLANNED: An event or actionthat 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.
UNPLANNED: (With specific regard to radioactivity releases) A
release of radioactivity is UNPLANNED if the release has not been
authorized by a Discharge Permit (DP). Implicit in this definition are
unintentional releases, unmonitored releases, or planned releases that
exceed a condition specified on the DP, e.g. alarmr setpoints,
minimum dilution flow, minimum release times, maximum release
rates, and/or discharge of incorrect tank.
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 indicators, or (3) by
direct observation by plant personnel. Implicit in this definition is the
need for timely assessment, i.e., within 15 minutes.
VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment that is readily
observable without measmrements, testing, or analyses. Damage is
sufficient enough to cause concern regarding the continued
operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or
component Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or
impact denting penetration, rupture, cracking and/or paint
blistering Surface blemishes (e.g. paint chipping scratches) should
NOT be included.
VITAL AREA: s my area within the PROTECTED AREA which
cortais equipment systems, devices, or material, The failure,
destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger
the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

DEFINITIONS/ACRONYMS
UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY and
GENERAL EMERGENCY: (see SED Judgment 4.7).
BOMB: An explosive device (See EXPLOSION).
CIVIL DISTURBANCE: A group of twenty (20) or more persons
violently protesting station operations or activities at the site.
CREDIBLE SITE-SPECIFIC -The determination is made by
WBN senior plant management through use of information found in
the Safeguards Contingency Plan.
CRITICAL-SAFETY FUNCTION (CSFs): A plant safety
function required to prevent significant release of core radioactivity
to the environment. There are six CSFs: Sub-criticality, Core
Cooling, Heat Sink, Pressurized Thermal Shock, Integrity
(Containment) and Inventory (RCS).
EVENT: Assessment of an EVENT commences when recognition
is made that one or more of the conditions associated with the event
exist Implicit in this definition is the need fortimely assessmen, i.e.
within 15 minutes.
EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY (EAB): The demarcation of
the area surrounding the WBN units in which postulated FSAR
accidents will not result in population dosesexceeding the criteria of
10 CFR Part 100. Refer to Figure 7-A
EXPLOSION: A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a
catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that imparts energy of
sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures required
for safe operation.
EXTORTION: An attempt to cause m action atthe station by
threat of force.
FAULTED: (Steam Generator) Existence of secondary side leakage
(i.e., steam or feed line break) that results in an uncontrolled decrease
in steam generator pressure or the steam generator being completely
depressurized.
FIRE: Combustion characterized by heat and light Source of
smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical
components do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred
but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are
observed.
FLAMMABLE GAS: Combustible gases maintained at
concentrations less than the LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (LEL)
will not explode due to ignition.
HOSTAGE: Aperson(s) held as leverage against the stationto
ensure that demands will be met by the station.
INEFFECTIVE: The specified restoration action(s) does not result
in a reduction in the level of severity of the RED PATH condition
within 15 minutes from identification of the Core Cooling CSF
Status Tree RED PATH. A reduction in the level of severity is an
improvement in the applicable parameters, e.g., Increasing Tremd in
Reactor Vessel Water Level (Full RVLIS) and/or Decreasing Trend
on Core Thermocouple Temperatures.
INITIATING CONDITIONS: PlantParameters radiation
monitor readings or personnel observations that identify an Event for
purposes of Emergency Plam Classification.
INTRUSION/INTRUDER: Suspected hostile individual present in
a protected area without authorization.
ODCM: OffMite Dose Calculation Manual.
ORANGE PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by FR-O which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under severe challenge.
PROJECTILE: An object ejected, thrown, or launched towards a
plant structure. The source ofthe projectile may be onsite or offsite.
Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the integrity ofthe
affected structure or the operability or reliability of safety equipment
contained therein.
PROTECTED AREA: Encompasses all owner controlled areas
within the security protected area fence as shown on Figure 4-A.
RED PATH: Monitoring of one or more CSFs by the FR- which
indicates that the CSF(s) is under extreme challenge; prompt operator
action is required.
RUPTURED: (Steam Generator) Existence of primary to secondary
leakage of a magnitude greater than charging pump capacity.
SABOTAGE: Deliberate damage, misalignment or mis-operation
of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment
SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT: An UNPLANNED event
involving one or more of the following: (1) An automatic turbine
runback > 15% thermal reactor power, (2) Electrical load rejection>
25% full electrical load; (3) Reactor Trip or (4) Safety Injection
System Activation.
SITE PERIMETER (SP): Encompasses all owner controlled areas
in the immediate site environs as shown on Figures 4-Aand 7-A.
STRIKE ACTION: A work stoppage within the PROTECTED
AREA by a body of workers to enforce compliance with demands
made on TVA The STRIKE ACTION must threaten to inteupt
normal plant operations.
TOXIC GAS: A gas that is dangerous to life or limb by reason of
inhalation or skin contact (e.g., chlorine).
UNPLANNED: An event or action that 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.
UNPLANNED: (With specific regard to radioactivity releases) A
release of radioactivity is UNPLANNED if the release has not been
authorized by a Discharge Permit (DP). Implicit in this definition are
uintentional releases, urmonitored releases, or planned releases that
exceed a condition specified on the DP, e.g., alarm setpoints,
minimum dilution flow, minimum release times, maximum release
rates, and/or discharge of incorred tank.
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 indicators, or (3) by
direct observation by plant personnel. Implicit in this definition is the
need for timely assessment, i.e., within 15 minutes.
VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment that is readily
observable without measurements, testing or analyses. Damage is
sufficient enough to cause concern regarding the continued
operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or
component Example damage includes: deformation due to heat or
impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, and/or paint
blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should
NOT be included.
VITAL AREA: Is my area within the PROTECTED AREA which
contains equipment, systems, devices, or material, the failure,
destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger
the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

ASSESSMENT METHOD: ICS or radiation monitor (RM) readings in the MCR or local indication as necessary
Note:
(1) Table values are calculated values. The ***** indicates the monitor is off scale.
(2) These releases rate values in XCi/s and pCi/mI are provided on the gaseous and liquid release points
for Information Only. Actual monitor readings are given in the table corresponding to the monitor
for the four emergency classifications.
(3) This eberline channel reads out in cpm in the MCRK Indications of a radioactivity release via this
pathway would be S/G blowdown monitors or other indications of primary-to-secondary leakage such
as S/G level increase or pressurizer level decrease. ICS calculates pCi/cc and has a visual indication
of an alarm condition when the indications exceeds 5.5E-02pCi/cc. This channel was included in the
table to provide a means to further assess a release detected by other indications and to provide a path
for possible escalation.
(4) These unit values are based on flow rates through one [I] PORV of 970,000 lb/hr at 1,185 psig,
6000F. Before using these values, ensure a release to the environment is ongoing (e.g. PORV).

by a factor 1000 over normal levels
Note: In Either the UE or ALERT EAL, the SED must
determine the cause of Increase in Radiation Levels
and Review OtherlNlTIATIING/CONDITIONS for
Applicability (e.g., a dose rate of 15 mren/hr in the
Control Room could be caused by a release
associated with a DBA).
UNPLANNED loss of water level in Spent Fuel Pool or
Reactor Cavity or Transfer Canal with fuel remaining
covered (1 and 2 and 3)
1. Plant personnel report water level drop in Spent Fuel
Pool or Reactor Cavity, _r Transfer Canal
2. VALID alarm on 0-RE-90-1 02 or 0-RE-90- 103 or
1-RE-90-59 or 1-RE-SO-SO
All
3. Fuel remains covered with water.
