North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report Chapter 3 Design of Structures, Components, Equipment, and Systems 3.5.1.6 Aircraft Hazards Information regarding aircraft hazards is contained in SSAR Section 2.2.2.6 and Section 2.2.3.2.1.
Section 3.5 References None 2-3-1 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report Chapter 13 Conduct of Operations 13.3 Emergency Planning 13.3.1 Emergency Planning Overview This chapter provides the emergency planning information required by NRC regulations necessary to support an ESP application. That includes information required by 10 CFR 52.17(b)(1) regarding identification of potential impediments to emergency planning, and information required by 10 CFR 52.17(b)(3) regarding descriptions of contacts and arrangements made with local, state and federal governmental agencies with emergency planning responsibilities.
13.3.2 Major Features Emergency Plan A major features emergency plan is also included in accordance with 10 CFR 52.17(b)(2)(I) as part of this ESP application. The Major Features Emergency Plan takes advantage of the emergency planning resources, capabilities, and organization that Virginia Power has already established and currently maintains at the NAPS site. If Dominion were to proceed with the development of new units at the ESP site, it would enter into an arrangement with Virginia Power to coordinate and implement an integrated emergency plan, in effect extending the existing emergency planning and preparedness to the new units. However, because some aspects of emergency preparedness require detailed design information which does not yet exist, some details of the plan that would be specific to the new units cannot be fully described at this time. Thus only the major features of the emergency plan are provided at this time.
13.3.2.1 Identification of Physical Characteristics Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.17(b)(1), physical characteristics unique to the ESP site have been analyzed to determine whether they could pose a significant impediment to the development of emergency plans. A preliminary analysis of the evacuation times, utilizing the evacuation time estimate (ETE) methods recommended in NUREG-0654, Revision 1, Supplement 2 (Section II),
has been used to identify these characteristics, including seasonal recreational visitors around the lake, school populations, etc. (Reference 16). A description of the analysis methods and results is provided in the most recent ETE, referenced in Section 13.3.2.1.1 (Reference 42).
13.3.2.1.1 Site Characteristics The ESP site is located on a peninsula along the southern shore of Lake Anna in Louisa County, Virginia. The existing units are licensed under provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50 (License Numbers NPF-4 and NPF-7). The ESP site is approximately 40 miles north-northwest of Richmond, Virginia; 36 miles east of Charlottesville, Virginia; and 22 miles southwest of Fredericksburg, Virginia. An ISFSI, licensed under provisions of 10 CFR 72, is also located at the NAPS site (License Number SNM-2507). Emergency planning activities for the new 2-13-1 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report units at the ESP site would be coordinated with emergency planning for the other licensed facilities at the NAPS site for an integrated emergency response. For example, an emergency declared under provisions of any current or future license may necessitate protective actions at shared facilities or at other licensed facilities. Response actions would be integrated to the extent necessary and addressed in future emergency plan implementing procedures, as appropriate.
ETEs have been calculated (in 1981, 1990-1991, and 2001) The NAPS Emergency Plan (NAEP)
(Reference 24) requires that the existing ETE be provided to the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management (DEM) following the 10-year census. The purpose is to determine whether an updated ETE should be calculated for the NAPS plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a.
13.3.2.1.2 Evacuation Time Estimate Analysis The most recent ETE for the NAEP is based on Census 2000 data, and is applicable to the ESP site (Reference 42). The total permanent resident population within the plume exposure pathway EPZ for the existing units has been calculated to be 20,292 (the 1990-1991 and 1981 estimates were 20,196 and 14,610 respectively) (Reference 40) (Reference 41). This report breaks down the population numbers by 16 sectors and 2-mile, 5-mile, and 10-mile rings. The ETE considers permanent residents, transients, and persons in special facilities, including school populations.
Analyses of ETEs have identified no institutional populations in the EPZ other than public schools.
The majority of the population is composed of permanent residents with seasonal recreational visitors on or around Lake Anna. Avenues of movement across the waterway are limited to seven crossings, one on the lower side of Lake Anna. However, emergency traffic is expected to flow away from the NAPS site (which includes the ESP site) rather than across the water. The road network is determined to be adequate to accommodate the vehicular traffic anticipated.
13.3.2.2 Major Features of the Emergency Plan The major features of the emergency plan described herein have been prepared in accordance with 10 CFR 52.17(b)(2)(i), considering the guidance of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Supplement 2. 10 CFR 50, Appendix E (Reference 5), has also been utilized. Optional information is included where appropriate.
The ESP site is one with pre-existing nuclear facilities that has existing state and local emergency plans. The ESP application, therefore, relies on and refers to information contained in these existing plans. No significant differences have been identified between major features proposed in the ESP application and the major features discussed in existing plans and relied on in the ESP application.
Differences between emergency planning information relative to this chapter and the guidance provided by NUREG-0654, Supplement 2, including planning standards or evaluation criteria not addressed, are identified and explained in Section 13.3.4.
2-13-2 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report 13.3.2.2.1 Emergency Planning Zones Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix E, provides that the size of the EPZ for a nuclear power plant shall be determined in relation to local emergency response needs and capabilities. This is because the appropriate size of the EPZ depends on conditions surrounding the site including demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries. For nuclear power plants of 250 megawatts thermal or greater, Appendix E provides that the plume exposure pathway EPZ shall consist of an area about 10 miles (16 kilometers) in radius. Generic guidance for the ingestion exposure pathway emergency planning zone (IPZ) describes an area about 50 miles (80 kilometers) in radius.
When recommending the size of these EPZs in 1978, the NRC/EPA Task Force on Emergency Planning considered the 1975 Reactor Safety Study (WASH-1400). (Reference 12) The NRC/EPA Task Force on Emergency Planning determined that this study was the best available source of information on the relative likelihood of large accidental releases of radioactivity, given a core melt event (Reference 14).
Since that time, significant advances have been made in understanding the timing, magnitude, and chemical form of fission product releases from severe nuclear power plant accidents (Reference 11). This Major Features Emergency Plan has been developed assuming a plume exposure pathway EPZ of 10 miles in radius and an IPZ of about 50 miles in radius. The plan recognizes that the size of these areas is subject to change if later analyses, design-specific factors, and legislative or regulatory initiatives warrant.
- a. Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone The plume exposure pathway EPZ is the area of interest associated with whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from a plume and deposited materials, and inhalation exposure from a passing radioactive plume. The duration of primary exposures could range in length from hours to days. The plume exposure pathway EPZ consists of an area about 10 miles in radius around the Dominion ESP site (See Figure 13.3-1). Parts of the Counties of Caroline, Hanover, Louisa, Orange, and Spotsylvania, Virginia, lie within the plume exposure pathway EPZ. Collectively, these counties are referred to as the risk jurisdictions. (Reference 31)
- b. Ingestion Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone The ingestion exposure pathway EPZ, that is, the IPZ, is the area of interest for exposure primarily from ingestion of water or foods such as milk and fresh vegetables that have been contaminated with radioactive materials. The duration of primary exposure could range from hours to months. The IPZ consists of an area about 50 miles in radius around the ESP site (See Figure 13.3-2).

The subsections that follow address these planning standards and evaluation criteria.
2-13-5 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- a. Assignment of Responsibility (Organization Control)
Primary responsibilities of risk jurisdiction response organizations, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the federal government, and private sector organizations are described below.
- 1. Local Response Organizations The elected officials of local governments have responsibility for radiological emergency response within their jurisdictions. Because time is a major factor in realizing the benefits of protective action in the event of a radiological emergency, certain of these actions are predetermined and are implemented without delay upon notification of a radiological emergency.
In the event of an emergency of any classification made pursuant to emergency action levels (EALs) (Section 13.3.2.2.2.d), Dominion would notify response organizations as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.e. Dominion would communicate with the Director of Emergency Services of each risk jurisdiction who has the capability of activating their Emergency Operations Centers (EOC). Dominion would rely on these jurisdictions to provide assistance in the event that an evacuation from the site requires a remote assembly point or for any services they are capable of providing to mitigate the results of the emergency.
The authority and responsibilities of Louisa County are presented in the Louisa County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) (Reference 32). The Louisa County RERP:
- Assigns responsibilities to county offices and organizations for radiological emergency response and preparedness
- Sets forth procedures for disseminating warning of radiological emergencies to the citizens of the county
- Specifies response actions for specific emergency classifications
- Delineates the policies and concepts under which the county government would operate during a radiological emergency response Upon notification, the Louisa County Sheriffs Office would notify the County Coordinator of Emergency Services, or a designated representative, who would perform the following tasks:
- Verify the notification from the ESP site
- Initiate the key county officials alert system
- Iinitiate public warning procedures, as authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia
- Prepare for evacuation of people from the affected area if authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia 2-13-6 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report The County Coordinator of Emergency Services, or designated representative, would activate and ensure that the EOC is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day when conditions warrant.
Once initial notifications are complete, Dominions onsite emergency organization described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.b would provide periodic status reports to the County Coordinator of Emergency Services. These reports would include any changes in status or emergency classification. Prior to establishment of the County EOC the County Sheriffs Office would serve as the local point of contact for official communications within and outside of the county. When the EOC is established, this responsibility would transfer to the EOC.
The Sheriffs of Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties provide police support, traffic control, and additional security. They coordinate their efforts with the Virginia State Police (VSP),
as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.a.2.
The local county health department is the primary health response agency within the affected risk jurisdictions. Their efforts are coordinated with the VDH, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.a.2 The authority and responsibilities of Caroline, Hanover, Orange, and Spotsylvania Counties during a radiological emergency are presented in their respective RERPs. The existing RERPs apply to the radiological emergencies within these localities caused by events at the NAPS site and would apply to events at the ESP site. The Caroline, Hanover, Orange, and Spotsylvania County RERPs are identical to the Louisa RERP, as described above, except for information that is specific to the respective counties.
(Reference 32) (Reference 33) (Reference 34) (Reference 35) (Reference 36)
- 2. Commonwealth of Virginia Response Organization The Commonwealth of Virginias organization for response to radiological emergencies is based on normal governmental structures and channels of communication. The Governor, in the role of Director of Emergency Management, directs the emergency response through the State Coordinator of Emergency Management. The State Coordinator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response, and the VDH provides technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment, protective action, radiological control, and radiological monitoring.
The Virginia EOC is in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The Virginia DEM sends appropriate liaison personnel to the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) upon activation.
In the event that an emergency of any classification is declared, pursuant to the Emergency Classification System Action Levels (Section 13.3.2.2.2.d), Dominion would make notifications as described in the section on Notification and Methods of Procedures (Section 13.3.2.2.2.e). Upon declaration of an Alert or higher emergency class, the DEM 2-13-7 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report would notify the VDH (Radiological Health Program). The VDH would implement its response procedures in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginias RERP. As part of the planned response, a team is sent to the EOF to provide a direct interface between the VDH and Dominions Emergency Response Organization (ERO). After the initial immediate actions, subsequent protective actions are taken based on the results of the Commonwealth of Virginia evaluation of the radiological situation and the companys recommendations. Commonwealth of Virginia and federal agencies provide assistance as required. VDH personnel, in coordination with the DEM, provide technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment, protective actions, radiological exposure control, and radiological monitoring. The VDH provides assistance to the local county health department emphasizing the special requirements for those individuals who are contaminated with radioactivity. Accident assessment personnel, as part of the Radiological Emergency Response Team, would operate from the Virginia EOC. More specific information is contained within the Commonwealth of Virginia RERP (Reference 31).
The Commonwealth of Virginia would also provide police support. In the event of an emergency, the dispatcher at the VSP headquarters is normally notified. The first response would most likely be from police units based in the local area. Additional units dispatched from other parts of the commonwealth would supplement these resources.
The VSP would provide traffic control and additional security and would coordinate their efforts with those of the local law enforcement agencies (e.g., the local County Sheriffs of Louisa and Spotsylvania) as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.a.1.
The VDGIF would provide assistance via their knowledge of local terrain and by monitoring Lake Anna.
Additional Commonwealth of Virginia organizations having possible responsibilities in a radiological emergency are listed in the Commonwealth of Virginia RERP, Annex I-V to Volume II, Appendix 2, Organization. Requests by Dominion for support services from these organizations would be coordinated through the DEM.
- 3. Federal Response Organizations In the event that an emergency classification is made pursuant to the early action levels, Dominion would make notifications as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.e. Dominion personnel would maintain contact with the NRC to ensure that accurate information and assessment of the emergency are available to the federal government.
Details of federal assistance are described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.c.
- 4. Private Sector Response Organizations Support would be obtained from the cognizant Architect/Engineer, the Nuclear Steam Supply System vendor, and other consultants and vendors, as appropriate, to respond 2-13-8 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report during the emergency and recovery operations. Experienced personnel with in-depth expertise in plant design, engineering, and construction would be involved to aid in solving critical technical problems. Dominion would identify these consultants and vendors, as necessary, when their relationship is referenced in a COL application.
Private-sector response may also include radiological laboratories and other facilities and organizations, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.c.
- 5. Major Elements of Emergency Response: Functions and Responsibilities The Virginia RERP and the risk jurisdiction RERPs apply to the radiological emergencies caused by events at the existing units and would also apply to events at the new units.
The following major elements of emergency response are addressed therein.
- Command and control
- Alerting and notification
- Communications
- Public information
- Accident assessment
- Public health and sanitation
- Social services
- Fire and rescue
- Traffic control
- Emergency medical services
- Law enforcement
- Transportation
- Protective response
- Radiological exposure control The legal bases for these authorities are detailed in their respective plans. The DEM provides amendments to these plans to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
(Reference 7)
- 6. Contacts and Arrangements The existing licensed facilities maintain within the NAEP a letter of agreement with the DOE, Field Office, Oak Ridge, and with the following Commonwealth of Virginia agencies:
- Department of Emergency Management
- Department of Health 2-13-9 Revision 0 September 2003

- Louisa County Sheriff
- Emergency Medical Services Association of Louisa County (Lake Anna Rescue, Inc.,
Louisa County Rescue Squad, Inc., Holly Grove Rescue Squad, Inc., Mineral Volunteer Rescue Squad, and Trevilians Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.)
- Spotsylvania County Sheriff
- Spotsylvania Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.
- Spotsylvania County Coordinator
- Orange County Sheriff
- Orange County Administrator
- Caroline County Department of Fire & Rescue
- Caroline County Sheriff
- Hanover County Administrator
- Hanover County Sheriff Dominion provided an overview of the Dominion ESP project to DEM Management staff members on February 20, 2003 and to risk jurisdiction coordinators of emergency management on March 24, 2003. The NRC licensing process, emergency preparedness requirements for ESP applicants, and Dominions schedule for preparing and submitting this ESP application were described. No impediment to pursuing an ESP has been identified by Commonwealth of Virginia or risk jurisdiction response organizations.
- b. Onsite Emergency Organization A description of the onsite emergency organization would be provided in a COL application.
This onsite emergency organization would include an emergency coordinator, qualified in accordance with Section 13.3.2.2.2.o.1. The emergency coordinator would respond with the following actions:
- Classify and declare emergency classes as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d, 2-13-10 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- Initiate notifications as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.e,
- Approve any planned exposures greater than 10 CFR 20 annual limits when appropriate, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.k.
The onsite emergency organization would provide for the key functions of accident assessment, radiological monitoring and analysis, security, fire-fighting, first aid and rescue, and communications. (Reference 16)
- 1. Interfaces Interfaces between and among the onsite functional areas of emergency activity, local services support, and State and local government response organization are shown in Figure 13.3-3.

North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- 2. Services The existing units maintain agreements for police, fire-fighting, rescue squad, medical, and hospital services. (Reference 24) These agreements would apply to the ESP site.
Contacts and arrangements for these services are described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.a.6.
Rescue squads meet the licensure requirements established by the VDH Office of Emergency Medical Services. (Reference 8)
Provisions for maintaining agreements for services are described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.p.4, and Section 13.3.3.
- c. Emergency Response Support and Resources Circumstances prompting the implementation of an emergency response may necessitate augmentation of Dominions resources. Such assistance may be requested from the federal government, radiological laboratories, and nuclear or other facilities and organizations.
- 1. Federal Assistance The Federal Response Plan (FRP) provides the mechanism for coordinating the delivery of federal assistance and resources to augment efforts of state and local governments overwhelmed by a major disaster or emergency. The FRP supports implementation of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as well as individual agency statutory authorities, and supplements other federal emergency operations plans developed to address specific hazards. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has primary responsibility for coordinating federal emergency preparedness, planning, management, and disaster assistance functions, including the establishment of federal disaster assistance policy. The DHS has the lead in developing and maintaining the FRP.
(Reference 25)
Under provisions of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, Management of Domestic Incidents, DHS has been assigned the task to develop a National Response Plan (NRP) that integrates the federal governments domestic prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery plans into one all-discipline, all-hazards plan. DHS also has been assigned the task to develop a National Incident Management System to provide a consistent nationwide approach for all levels of government to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of their cause, size, or complexity. Dominion would incorporate these initiatives, as appropriate, in a COL application. (Reference 30)
The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) (Reference 26) outlines the federal governments concept of operations based on specific authorities for responding to radiological emergencies. It also describes federal policies and planning considerations on which the concept of operations for the FRERP and federal agency-specific response plans are based, and specifies authority and responsibility of 2-13-12 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report each federal agency that may have a significant role in such emergencies. The concept of operations for a response provides for the designation of one agency as the Lead Federal Agency (LFA) and for the establishment of on-scene, interagency response centers. In a response to an emergency involving a radiological hazard, the LFA under the FRERP is responsible for federal oversight of onsite activities and federal assistance in conducting r a d io l o g ic a l m o n i t o r i n g a n d a s s e s s m e n t a n d d e v e l o p i n g p r o t e c t i v e a c t i o n recommendations.
The NRC is the LFA for an emergency that occurs at a commercial nuclear power reactor.
When a radiological emergency warrants action under the Stafford Act, DHS uses the FRP to coordinate the non-radiological response to consequences off site in support of the affected State and local governments. If the FRERP and FRP are implemented concurrently, the Federal On-Scene Commander (FOC) under the FRERP coordinates the FRERP response with the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), who is responsible for coordinating all federal support for state and local governments. The FRERP describes the responsibilities of both the LFA and other federal agencies that may be involved and the functions of each of the on-scene centers. Involved federal agencies include the following:
- Department of Agriculture
- Department of Commerce
- Department of Defense
- Department of Energy
- Department of Health and Human Services
- Department of Housing and Urban Development
- Department of the Interior
- Department of Justice
- Department of State
- Department of Transportation
- Department of Veterans Affairs
- General Services Administration
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2-13-13 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- National Communications System
- Nuclear Regulatory Commission Under provisions of the FRERP, DOE may respond to a state or LFA request for a ss is t an c e b y d is p a tc h in g a R a di o lo g ic a l A s si st a nc e P ro g r am (R A P ) te a m (Reference 29). The DOE Regional Coordinating Office with responsibility for the geographic area where the ESP site is situated is the Oak Ridge Operations Office in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The DOE Radiological Assistance Plan, Region 2, includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and West Virginia; the Commonwealths of Kentucky, Virginia, and Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Reference 27). If the situation requires more assistance than a RAP team can provide, DOE would alert or activate additional resources. These resources may include the establishment of a Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) to be used as an on-scene coordination center for federal radiological assessment activities.
The FRMAC is charged with defining and monitoring the radiological impact of a nuclear or radiological release. Because the effects of radiological contamination may last beyond an immediate emergency, FRMAC serves as a coordination point for radiological monitoring, assessment, evaluation, and reporting activities for the area surrounding a radiological incident, including decontamination, recovery, and long-term environmental monitoring. The FRMAC provides for the coordinated management of federal technical response activities related to a radiological emergency. It has three primary goals:
- Assisting the Commonwealth of Virginia and LFA with personnel, equipment, and technical resources, as needed
- Collecting offsite environmental radiological data
- Providing the relevant Commonwealth of Virginia agencies and the LFA offsite environmental radiological data and related assessments A FRMAC advance party can be expected at the site within 6 to 14 hours1.62037e-4 days <br />0.00389 hours <br />2.314815e-5 weeks <br />5.327e-6 months <br /> following the order to deploy, depending on the availability of airports near the ESP site. Richmond International Airport is a major commercial facility, about an 85-minute drive from the ESP site. Smaller airports located within about an hour of the ESP site may also be used.
(Reference 24)
Under provisions of the United States Government Interagency Domestic Terrorism Concept of Operations Plan, the operational response to a terrorist threat employs a coordinated, interagency process organized through the LFA concept. In this circumstance, responsibility is assigned to the DOJ and is delegated to the FBI. Initially, the FBI functions as the on-scene manager, while FEMA retains authority and responsibility to coordinate all federal assistance to state and local governments for 2-13-14 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report consequence management. On-scene federal management transfers from the FBI to the FCO when directed by the Attorney General. (Reference 28)
- 2. Radiological Laboratories Radiological count laboratory resources are available through the Commonwealth of Virginia to respond to an emergency at the ESP site. These resources include those facilities listed below. Estimated travel times to the ESP site are provided parenthetically.
- MCV, Richmond, Virginia (75 minutes)
- Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock, Newport News, Virginia (3 1/2 hours)
- VDH Radiological Health Program Mobile Laboratory (1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />)
If required at the time of the event, these additional resources can be obtained through purchase agreements with private institutions. These agreements would not be prepared in advance, but would be negotiated on an as-needed basis. (Reference 24)
- 3. Assistance from Other Facilities and Organizations Dominion Resources, Inc. (DRI), including its subsidiaries Virginia Power and Dominion, is one of the nations largest producers of energy. In 2003, DRIs portfolio consisted of nearly 24,000 MW of electric power transmitted over 6,000 miles of transmission lines, 5.7 trillion cubic feet equivalent of natural gas reserves, 7,700 miles of natural gas pipeline, and the nations largest natural gas storage system with more than 960 billion cubic feet of storage capacity. In addition to the NAPS site, the nuclear program of the DRI companies consists of the Surry Power Station in Virginia and the Millstone Power Station in Connecticut (Reference 45). Assistance can be made available from these facilities and organizations as necessary. The EOF described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.h, would coordinate this assistance. Contacts and arrangements for assistance from outside the company are discussed in the next subsection.
Like other U.S. organizations that operate commercial nuclear power plants, Virginia Power is a member of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). INPOs role in event of an emergency is to provide assistance in identifying and mobilizing the nuclear industry. Specifically, INPO facilitates technical information flow from the affected utility to the nuclear industry, locates replacement equipment and personnel with technical expertise, obtains technical information and industry experience regarding plant components and systems, and provides an INPO liaison to facilitate the interface between INPO and the member. To support these functions, INPO maintains a dedicated emergency notification system, designates INPO staff members to respond to requests for assistance, and maintains a dedicated Emergency Response Center. (Reference 38) 2-13-15 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- 4. Contacts and Arrangements for Assistance Assistance from outside DRIs organization would be coordinated from the EOF described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.h. This includes interfaces with all levels of government and private sector response organizations, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.a, and other commercial nuclear operators as described in the sections that follow.
- d. Emergency Classification System The following emergency classification scheme would be used in the event of an emergency:
- Notification of Unusual Event - Unusual 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 a safety system occurs.
- 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 level.
- Site Area Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels at or beyond the site boundary.
- General Emergency - Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential loss of containment integrity.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
- 1. Emergency Action Levels EAL criteria would be used to determine the need for notification and participation of local agencies, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the NRC, and other federal agencies. EAL criteria discriminate between the emergency classification scheme levels described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d. The EALs would be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outside the NAPS site boundary to protect health and safety.
The classification system is not intended to include minor deviations during normal operation. It may be discovered that an event or condition that met the classification criteria had existed, but the basis for declaration of the emergency class no longer exists at the time of discovery. For example, the event may have rapidly concluded or been discovered during a post-event review. Actual declaration of an emergency class is not warranted in these circumstances, although notification to the NRC and the DEM is necessary.
2-13-16 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report The EALs and plant-specific initiating conditions would be based on in-plant conditions and instrumentation, onsite and offsite monitoring, and hazards to station operation (e.g.,
as set forth in Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1; RG 1.101, Revision 3; or other applicable documents) (Reference 9) (Reference 15). Dominion would propose site-specific EALs in the COL application. These EALs would be discussed and agreed on with the Commonwealth of Virginia and local governmental authorities and submitted to the NRC for approval. Thereafter, they would be reviewed with the Commonwealth of Virginia and local governmental authorities on an annual basis. After initial approval, changes to these EALs and initiating criteria would be made without NRC approval only if the changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the plans and the revised plans continue to meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.
- 2. Emergency Classification Levels The Commonwealth of Virginia RERP and local government RERPs would provide an emergency classification level scheme consistent with that established by Dominion as required by 44 CFR 350.5(a)(4).
- e. Notification Methods and Procedures Dominion would provide means for notifying the Commonwealth of Virginia and risk jurisdictions, ERO personnel, and the populace within the plume exposure pathways EPZ described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a.
- 1. Basis for Notification Upon initial classification and declaration of an emergency class, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d, an individual qualified in accordance with radiological emergency response training (Section 13.3.2.2.2.o) would assume emergency coordinator responsibilities. This individual would initiate notifications applicable to the emergency class and event.
The Commonwealth of Virginia and risk jurisdictions would be notified promptly following declaration of an emergency class, including any classes that are immediately terminated.
The capability for notifying these agencies within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency would be maintained (Reference 5). The content of the notification would include the class of the emergency and information regarding whether a release is in progress. The Commonwealth of Virginia would be notified of any recommended protective measures.
Additional information, including meteorological data, would be provided in later notifications as it becomes available (Reference 15). As described in the EALs section (Section 13.3.2.2.2.d), the Commonwealth of Virginia would be notified if it is discovered that an event or condition that met the classification criteria, had existed, but that the basis 2-13-17 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report for declaration of the emergency class no longer existed at the time of discovery (Reference 19).
The NRC Operations Center would be notified immediately thereafter and not later than one hour after the classification of an emergency as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d.
The ERDS would be activated as soon as possible but not later than one hour after declaring an emergency class of alert, site area emergency, or general emergency. An open, continuous communication channel with the NRC Operations Center would be maintained upon request by the NRC (Reference 4).
- 2. Alerting, Notifying and Mobilizing Emergency Response Personnel At the Notification of Unusual Event emergency class, onsite notification would be limited to personnel involved in event response and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector.
Dominions ERO and uninvolved onsite personnel would promptly be made aware of an emergency that is initially classified and declared as an Alert or higher event promptly, unless doing so poses a threat to personnel safety. Severe weather and a security breach are examples of situations that may dictate suspension or deferral of the processes for alerting, notifying, and mobilizing emergency response personnel. However, these activities would be implemented as quickly as achievable, given the specific situation. The normal processes for alerting, notifying, and mobilizing the ERO are multifaceted, including alarms, announcements, pagers, telephones, on-line messages, etc.
NAPS site personnel, including security personnel, and/or personnel from the VDGIF would alert individuals within the Exclusion Area.
- 3. Means for Notifying and Instructing the Public Protective Action Zones (PAZ), primary evacuation routes, and evacuation assembly centers (EAC) have been established in the event that an evacuation is recommended.
This information is published and distributed by the Commonwealth of Virginia (Reference 31).
Dominion would rely on the already installed Alert and Notification System (ANS) already installed around the NAPS site to support the new units. Sirens have been installed using the guidance contained in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, and FEMA-REP-10 (Reference 21). The purpose of the ANS is to ensure that essentially 100 percent of the population within 5 miles of the site can be alerted within 15 minutes and that essentially 100 percent of the population from 5 to 10 miles from the site who may not have received the initial notification can be alerted within 45 minutes (Reference 15). The FEMA approved the ANS for the existing units in 1987, pursuant to 44 CFR 350 (Reference 44).
Virginia Power is responsible for maintaining and periodically testing the ANS, including sirens located throughout the plume exposure pathway EPZ described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a.
2-13-18 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report The Commonwealth of Virginia and risk jurisdictions have ultimate responsibility for warning the public. Should it be necessary, Commonwealth of Virginia and local authorities, with the assistance of the VSP, would alert the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a. The primary method of alerting the public is by sounding the ANS sirens. Other alerting methods may include telephone communications, television and radio communications via the Emergency Alert System (EAS) stations, public address systems, bull horns from patrol cars, and personal contact.
Details are provided in the Commonwealth of Virginia RERP and local RERPs.
Members of the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a would be informed of what actions to take after being alerted. Upon being alerted, they would be instructed to turn on their radios or television sets to the EAS to receive further instructions. Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties and the Commonwealth of Virginia have 24-hour-a-day capability to activate the ANS sirens. The Commonwealth of DEM prepares messages sent out over the EAS. Written, pre-planned messages intended for transmittal to the public via radio and television stations would be consistent with the emergency classification level scheme described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d. The messages would give instructions with regard to specific actions to be taken by the occupants of the inhabited area. The messages would, as appropriate, give instructions on the nature of the emergency and information concerning the recommended protective action, sheltering, thyroid blocking potassium iodide, or evacuation. (Reference 31)
- f. Emergency Communications Dominion would provide the means for prompt communications with the Commonwealth of Virginia, risk jurisdiction, and federal government EROs; the means to alert and activate the ESP site ERO; and arrangements for communicating with medical support facilities.
- 1. Communication With the Commonwealth of Virginia Dominion would maintain the capability for notifying the Commonwealth of Virginia within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d would be maintained (Reference 5). The content of the notification is described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.e (Reference 15).
- 2. Communication With the Risk Jurisdictions Dominion would maintain the capability for notifying the risk jurisdictions within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d would be maintained (Reference 5). The content of the notification is described in Section Section 13.3.2.2.2.e (Reference 15).
2-13-19 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- 3. Communication With Federal Response Organizations Dominion would maintain the capability for notifying the NRC Operations Center immediately after notifying the Commonwealth of Virginia and the risk jurisdictions, and not later than one hour after classifying an emergency, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.d, would be maintained (Reference 4). Requests for federal assistance would be communicated to the LFA as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.c, or the cognizant department, agency, bureau, or service, as appropriate (Reference 29).
- 4. Communication With the Dominion Emergency Response Organization The ESP site ERO would be alerted for activation via multiple communications methods, e.g., plant alarms and/or announcements, pagers, telephones, on-line messages, etc.
- 5. Communication With Medical Support Facilities Communication can be maintained with the hospital service described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.l, from the ESP site. The ESP site would also be able to communicate with the ambulance by use of an ultra-high frequency radio or mobile telephone, and the ambulance can communicate with the hospital service by way of the Hospital Emergency and Administrative Radio system or mobile telephone.
- g. Public Education and Information Dominion would implement an emergency information program for the public and the news media.
- 1. Informing the Public Information describing the emergency notification process and actions that should be taken in the event of an emergency is provided to the public within the NAPS site plume exposure pathway EPZ on an annual basis, as described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a. The following information is provided to the public:
- Educational information on radiation
- Contact points for obtaining additional information
- Protective measures (e.g., evacuation routes and relocation centers, sheltering, respiratory protection, radio-protective drugs)
- Special needs of the handicapped and the transient population (Reference 22)
Dominion would coordinate its public information efforts with the Commonwealth of Virginia and local authorities to ensure that the public is informed by using the best means available. These means may include the following:
- Information in telephone books 2-13-20 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- Utility bill inserts
- Postings in public areas
- Publications (e.g., brochures, calendars) distributed on a periodic basis Dominion intends to rely on the already established Virginia Power program for informing the public in the area surrounding the ESP site (Reference 24).
- 2. Informing the News Media A program to acquaint the news media with the following information is offered on an annual basis:
- Information concerning radiation
- Points of contact for release of public information in an emergency Dominion intends to rely on the already established program for informing the media in the area surrounding the ESP site.
- h. Emergency Facilities and Equipment Dominion would make provisions for emergency facilities and equipment to support an emergency response.
- 1. Technical Support Center Dominion would make provisions for a TSC located near the control room. Personnel reporting to the TSC would plant provide management and technical support to the control room staff during emergency conditions. The TSC would have technical and data displays and plant records available to assist in the detailed analysis and diagnosis of abnormal plant conditions. The TSC would be the primary onsite communications center for the plant during an emergency. (Reference 18)
- 2. Operational Support Center Dominion would provide for an Operational Support Center (OSC) assembly area separate from the control room and the TSC. Personnel reporting to the OSC can be assigned duties in support of emergency operations. (Reference 18)
- 3. Emergency Operations Facility Dominion would provide for an EOF for the management of the overall licensee emergency response (including coordination with federal, Commonwealth of Virginia, and risk jurisdiction officials), coordination of radiological and environmental assessments, and determination of recommended public protective actions. The EOF would have technical and data displays and plant records available to assist in the diagnosis of plant conditions.
The EOF staff would evaluate the potential or actual release of radioactive materials to the 2-13-21 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report environment. The EOF would be the primary offsite communications center for the plant during an emergency. (Reference 18)
- 4. Emergency Operations Centers The Commonwealth of Virginia and the risk jurisdictions have established EOCs for use in directing and controlling emergency response functions.
- i. Accident Assessment Dominion would provide methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition.
- 1. Contacts and Arrangements for Meteorological Information The existing units Meteorological Monitoring System has the capability for collecting data used for making near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion. The primary tower and backup tower have been sited to provide an accurate representation of regional meteorological conditions (Reference 23). The data would be accessible to the new units control room, the TSC, and the EOF (Reference 18). Suitable meteorological information would be made available to the Commonwealth of Virginia as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.e (Reference 15).
The NOAA is the primary agency within the DOC responsible for providing assistance to the federal, state, and local organizations responding to a radiological emergency under provisions of the FRERP as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.c. Within NOAA, the NWS is the primary source of weather data, forecasts, and warnings for the United States. The Weather Forecast Office Baltimore/Washington in Sterling, Virginia, has jurisdiction over the area of the Dominion ESP site. (Reference 26)
- 2. Contacts and Arrangements for Field Monitoring Dominion would make provisions to obtain offsite data by field monitoring within the plume exposure pathways EPZ described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a. These field-monitoring activities would be coordinated from the EOF, described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.h. Dominion would coordinate its field monitoring efforts with the VDH under provisions of the Commonwealth of Virginia RERP (Reference 31).
- 3. Contacts and Arrangements for Locating and Tracking Plume Dominion and the Commonwealth of Virginia would rely on the DOE for airborne rad ioa ctiv e p lum e tra ck ing u nd er p rov isio ns o f t he F R ER P a s de sc ribe d in Section 13.3.2.2.2.c. (Reference 26) (Reference 27) (Reference 29) (Reference 31) 2-13-22 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- j. Protective Response This section describes a range of protective actions for the public and emergency workers in the plume exposure pathway EPZ (Section 13.3.2.2.1.a), guidelines for choosing protective actions during an emergency, and protective actions associated with the IPZ.
- 1. Evacuation of Onsite Individuals Emergency assembly areas have been established outside the existing units Protected Area to facilitate the dissemination of information to personnel. The same areas would be used to support the new units. Dominion may elect to direct an early personnel release in the absence of radiological or chemical agents necessitating evacuee monitoring. If evacuation of onsite individuals is necessary, evacuees would be directed to either the primary or secondary remote assembly area (RAA) depending on specific radiological and environmental conditions. (see Figure 13.3-4)
Evacuees would use personal vehicles for transportation. Evacuees would be surveyed for contamination following events involving a release, and would be decontaminated, if necessary, prior to being released from the RAA. Decontamination agents and supplies are available at the NAPS site and can be transported to the RAAs to provide decontamination capabilities. (Reference 24)
- 2. Protective Action Recommendations The senior Dominion representative in the EOF (or the senior Dominion representative in the Control Room or TSC if the EOF is not yet activated) would be responsible to the Comm onwealth of Virginia for recommending offsite protective actions. The Commonwealth of Virginia and risk jurisdictions are responsible for notifying the public and implementing the appropriate protective measures as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.e.3. Protective action recommendations are to be made to the Commonwealth of Virginia within 15 minutes of declaring a General Emergency under provisions of Section 13.3.2.2.2.d. It is anticipated that the initial protective action recommendation is to be based on plant conditions. Follow-up protective action recommendations that Dominion may make to the Commonwealth of Virginia would be based on current meteorological data such as wind direction, wind speed and stability class, and dose projections. This guidance is based on NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Supplement 3, and EPA 400-R-92-001 (Reference 17) (Reference 22).
- 3. Evacuation Time Estimates The most recent NAEP ETE, based on Census 2000 data, is applicable to the ESP site.
Evaluation time estimates based on different affected population areas and weather conditions range from 85 minutes to 105 minutes. (Reference 42) 2-13-23 Revision 0 September 2003

2-13-24 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report
- 1. Guidelines on Dose Limits Dominion would maintain dose within the limits of 10 CFR 20 limits under normal operating conditions. (Reference 1) Emergency response personnel may, because of necessity, receive a once-in-a-lifetime exposure to contamination and radiation up to the 10 CFR 20 annual limits, not including accumulated occupational exposure. These limits apply to the following activities:
- Removing injured persons
- Undertaking corrective actions
- Performing assessment actions
- Performing field radiological measurements in the plume exposure pathway EPZ described in Section 13.3.2.2.1.a
- Providing first aid
- Performing personnel decontamination
- Providing ambulance service
- Providing medical treatment services
- Exposure in excess of these limits would be controlled as described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.k.4.
- 2. Onsite Radiation Protection Program Emergency exposure may be authorized for such needs as removal of injured personnel, undertaking corrective actions, performing assessment actions, providing first aid, performing personnel decontamination, providing ambulance service, providing medical treatment, etc. Guidelines for emergency exposure limits are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Life Saving Activity Protective Action Guides. (Reference 20).
The existing units radiological protection procedures specify levels of permissible radioactive contamination for workers and equipment. Actions are required to be taken when levels for equipment or areas exceed these limits. Any detected personnel contamination initiates appropriate evaluation and decontamination in accordance with these procedures. These procedures would be applicable for the ESP site or this function would be addressed in future radiological protection procedures.
The existing units have onsite contamination control procedures that provide for access control. These procedures state the criteria for permitting the return of the areas and their contents to normal use. These procedures would be applicable for the ESP site or this function would be addressed in future radiological protection procedures.
No food supplies are grown on the ESP site and the water supplies come from deep wells (Reference 23). The existing units have procedures to monitor contamination in areas 2-13-25 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report designated as permissible for employees to eat and drink during the emergency and recovery phases of operations. These procedures would be applicable for the ESP site or this function would be addressed in future radiological protection procedures.
- 3. Tracking Doses Emergency workers at the ESP site would receive direct reading and permanent record dosimeters. Dose records would be maintained in accordance with existing units radiological protection procedures or future radiological protection procedures.
- 4. Authorization of Exposure Above Dose Limits Approval from the emergency coordinator is necessary for planned exposures greater than the 10 CFR 20 annual limits. Under limited circumstances, exposure levels greater than 5 times the 10 CFR 20 annual limits may be allowed, but only on a voluntary basis to persons fully aware of the risks involved. Selection criteria for volunteer emergency workers includes consideration of those who are in good physical health, are familiar with the consequences of emergency exposure, and are not a declared pregnant adult. It is preferable, though not mandatory, that volunteers be older than 45 years of age and not be females capable of reproduction. (Reference 1) (Reference 20)

populations Lifesaving or protection of large >25 Rem TEDE Only on a voluntary basis to population persons fully aware of the risks involved.
TEDE = Total effective dose equivalent.
- 5. Decontamination If onsite personnel are required to relocate or routinely leave the site during an emergency, Dominion would provide adequate supplies for personnel decontamination, clothing, and a means for decontaminating the clothing. If radio-iodine contamination of the skin is determined, or needed supplies, instruments, or equipment are contaminated; then provisions would be made to provide for decontamination as specified in the existing units radiological protection procedures or this function would be addressed in future radiological protection procedures. (Reference 24) 2-13-26 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report Health Physics personnel can perform the decontamination task at the existing units or the ESP site, the RAA, or if necessary, at Patrick Henry High School in Hanover County.
(Reference 34)
Personnel with wounds that become contaminated would be decontaminated to the extent achievable or prepared for transport to the hospital service described in Section 13.3.2.2.2.l. (Reference 24)
- l. Medical and Public Health Support Dominion would make contacts and arrangements for medical services for contaminated injured individuals.
- 1. Arrangements for Hospital Services Virginia Power has made arrangements with the MCV in Richmond, Virginia, to provide medical assistance to personnel injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive material. MCV has developed its own emergency plan, designed to provide medical care in the case of a radiation emergency. The MCV Radiation Emergency Plan supports the NAPS site in case of occupational and/or major accidents, including contaminated personnel. MCVs plan establishes a specialized area of the hospital for treatment with appropriate Health Physics functions, and implements a coded system to alert hospital team members. Radiation monitoring equipment, dosimetry, and protective clothing are available at MCV.
Based on the quality of the facilities at MCV, the NRC has accepted the absence of arrangements for a back-up hospital. (Reference 13) Arrangements for the use of MCVs facilities would apply to the ESP site. In the event of a need for their support, a call ahead to MCV would be made to alert them to activate their Radiation Emergency Plan.
(Reference 37)
- 2. Arrangements for Medical Services The Commonwealth of Virginia Radiation Emergency Response Plan contains lists indicating the location of public, private, and military hospitals and other medical service facilities within the Commonwealth of Virginia that are capable of providing medical support for any contaminated or injured individual. The listing includes the name, location, type of facility, capacity, and radiological capabilities. Contacts and arrangements are described in the plan.
- m. Recovery and Re-entry Planning and Post-Accident Operations NUREG-0654, Supplement 2,Section V, deems that the Recovery and Re-entry Planning and Post-accident Operations planning standard is inappropriate for the ESP application. This section is included herein to conform to the emergency plan structure anticipated for a COL application.

North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report 13.6 Industrial Security The development area for the new units is west of and adjacent to the existing units on the NAPS site. The protected area of the existing units would be extended to encompass the new units.
Like the existing units, physical protection of the new units would be based on controlling access to the NAPS site and the new units, screening operating personnel, monitoring security equipment, designing and arranging station features, and obtaining assistance from local law enforcement personnel.
The characteristics of the ESP site are such that implementation of the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 73.55 and RG 4.7, as well as the post-9/11 NRC Orders can be met. The NAPS site is sufficiently large to provide adequate distances between structures and the probable location of a security boundary.
The ESP site is located on the shore of Lake Anna. For the existing units, Virginia Power has a security program in place in compliance with the NRC Order for Interim Compensatory Measures dated February 25, 2002 that addresses waterborne threats to the site without the need to restrict access to the lake. In the event that new units are added to the site, it is anticipated that those requirements would continue to be met.
The final design of the new units power block and supporting buildings would utilize design features as appropriate to assure that the existing security distances outlined in the regulations above as well as the Design Basis Threat and any Interim Compensatory measures that may apply are adequate. The COL application would address the specific design features to assure site security as well as include the design of security monitoring equipment and methods to screen station operating personnel.
There are no security hazards in the vicinity. The ESP site is located in Louisa County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. A written agreement with Louisa County is currently in place to establish a single point of contact for police response to the NAPS site. Louisa County has mutual aid agreements in place if necessary. Auxiliary agreements also exist with other neighboring jurisdictions to provide support during station emergencies.

North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report Chapter 15 Accident Analyses 15.1 Selection of Accidents The radiological consequences of accidents are assessed to demonstrate that new units could be sited at the ESP site without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The assessment uses site-specific accident meteorology with the radiological analyses in selected reactor design certifications to analyze the suitability of the ESP site. The assessment uses a robust and conservative set of surrogate DBAs that is representative of the range of reactor designs being considered for the ESP site. The DBAs include a spectrum of events, including those of relatively greater probability of occurrence as well as those that are less probable but have greater severity.
The set of accidents selected focuses on two light water reactor (LWR) designs: AP1000 and ABWR. These two designs have been chosen because they have (or are based on) previously certified standard designs and have recognized bases for postulated accident analyses. The accidents for some of the newer reactor types being considered are not as well defined as those for these LWRs and, hence, the accepted analytical methodologies and assumptions applied to LWRs may not apply to these newer reactors. However, because of their greater potential for inherent safety, the accident radiological consequences of the other reactors being considered for the site are expected to be bounded by the AP1000 and the ABWR. If one of these other designs is eventually selected for the ESP site, the COL application would either verify that the AP1000 and ABWR doses are bounding or provide a complete evaluation of accident radiological consequences compared with regulatory limits.
The following LWR accidents are identified in the SRP, NUREG-0800 (Reference 1), as those that should be considered for radiological consequences:
- SRP Section 15.1.5, PWR Main Steam Line Break
- SRP Section 15.3.3, Locked Rotor Accident
- SRP Section 15.3.4, Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Break
- SRP Section 15.4.9, BWR Control Rod Drop Accident
- SRP Section 15.6.2, Failure of Small Lines Carrying Primary Coolant Outside Containment
- SRP Section 15.6.3, PWR Steam Generator Tube Failure
- SRP Section 15.6.4, BWR Main Steam Line Break
- SRP Section 15.6.5, Loss-of-Coolant Accident
- SRP Section 15.7.4, Fuel Handling Accident RG 1.183 (Reference 2) includes a subset of these accidents.
2-15-1 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report The radiological consequences from the above DBAs are analyzed. This set of accidents provides a reasonable basis for evaluating the suitability of the ESP site.

2-15-2 Revision 0 September 2003
North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report 15.2 Evaluation Methodology Doses for the representative DBAs are evaluated at the EAB and the LPZ. These doses must meet the site acceptance criteria provided in 10 CFR 50.34 and 10 CFR 100 (Reference 1 and Reference 2, respectively). Although the emergency safety features are expected to prevent core damage and mitigate releases of radioactivity, the loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) analyzed presume substantial meltdowns of the core with the release of significant amounts of fission products. The postulated LOCAs are expected to more closely approach 10 CFR 50.34 limits than the other DBAs of greater probability of occurrence but lesser magnitude of activity releases. For these accidents, the calculated doses are compared to the acceptance criteria in RG 1.183 and NUREG-0800, to demonstrate that the consequences of the postulated accidents are acceptable.
The evaluations use short-term accident atmospheric dispersion factors ( /Q). The /Qs are calculated using the methodology of RG 1.145 (Reference 3) and site-specific meteorological data.
The following site-specific /Q values from Section 2.3.4.2 are used in these evaluations:
Site-Specific /Q Values
/Q (sec/m3)
Time EAB LPZ 0-2 hr 1.77E-4 -
0-8 hr - 1.73E-5 8-24 hr - 1.16E-5 24-96 hr - 4.89E-6 96-720 hr - 1.41E-6 The accident doses are expressed as total effective dose equivalent (TEDE), consistent with 10 CFR 50.34. The TEDE consists of the sum of the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) from inhalation and the deep dose equivalent (DDE) from external exposure. The CEDE is determined using the dose conversion factors in Federal Guidance Report 11 (Reference 4), while the DDE is based on dose conversion factors in Federal Guidance Report 12 (Reference 5).

North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report 15.3 Source Terms Doses are calculated based on the time-dependent activities released to the environment during each DBA. The activities are based on the analyses used to support the reactor standard safety analysis reports. Different reactor technologies use different source terms and approaches in defining the activity releases. The ABWR source term is based on TID-14844 (Reference 1).
Environmental releases are calculated using the guidance in NUREG-0800 and RGs 1.3 and 1.25 (Reference 2 and Reference 3, respectively). The AP1000 source terms, methodologies, and assumptions are based on the alternative source term methods outlined in RG 1.183. The IRIS and ACR-700 source term information are preliminary, but the AP-1000 LOCA is expected to bound the worst-case accident release for these advanced reactor concepts. Similarly, the worst-case accident releases for the ESBWR are expected to be bounded by the ABWR.
The advanced gas reactor designs (GT-MHR and PBMR) use mechanistic accident source terms and postulate relatively small environmental releases, compared with the water reactor technologies. The activity releases to the environment are typically provided by the reactor vendors as part of their standard design packages.

North Anna Early Site Permit Application Part 2 - Site Safety Analysis Report 15.4 Radiological Consequences For the accidents identified in Section 15.1, site-specific doses are calculated by multiplying the design certification doses by the ratio of the site /Qs to design certification /Qs. The following design certification /Qs are used (Reference 1) (Reference 2):
Design Certification /Q Values
/Q (sec/m3)
Time (hr) AP1000 ABWR EAB 0-2 6.00E-04 1.37E-03 0-8 1.35E-04 1.56E-04 8-24 1.00E-04 9.61E-05 LPZ 24-96 5.40E-05 3.36E-05 96-720 2.20E-05 7.42E-06 Details about the methodology and assumptions pertaining to each of the accidents, such as activity release paths and the credited mitigation features, may be found in the design certification documents for the AP1000 (Reference 1) and the ABWR (Reference 2). As the ABWR design certification document presents whole body and thyroid doses, an equivalent TEDE value is estimated by multiplying the thyroid dose by 0.03 and adding the product to the whole body dose, in accordance with RG 1.183. Also, the ABWR doses are scaled up from a power level of 4005 MWt (102 percent of 3926 MWt, as specified in the design certification) to 4386 MWt (102 percent of 4300 MWt, the power proposed for a new ABWR unit at the ESP site). A summary of the resulting accident doses is presented in Table 15.4-1. This table also compares the accident doses to the recommended limits in RG 1.183 and NUREG-0800 and shows that the evaluated dose consequences are within the recommended limits.
The TEDE dose limits in Table 15.4-1 are taken from RG 1.183, Table 6, for all accidents except PWR Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Break (SRP Section 15.3.4) and Failure of Small Lines Carrying Primary Coolant Outside Containment (SRP Section 15.6.2). For these two accidents, NUREG-0800 indicates that the dose limit is a small fraction or 10 percent of the 10 CFR 100 guideline of 25 Rem, meaning a limit of 2.5 Rem.
The doses summarized in Table 15.4-1 are based on the time-dependent doses presented in Table 15.4-2 to Table 15.4-27 for each of the accidents. In addition to doses, the latter tables show the activities released to the environment.

- 4. Design Control The Nuclear Design Control Program (NDCP), delineates procedures to assure that design basis, regulatory requirements, codes and standards are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, or instructions for those items classified as safety related and that design changes, including field changes, are subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and the applicable specified design requirements. Nuclear Standards describe the design control program.
The responsibility for the development, identification of requirements, monitoring, and implementation of an effective design control program is delegated to the Vice President Nuclear Engineering with input as appropriate from Vice President Nuclear Support Services. If changes to the operating units are required to support the development of the Early Site Permit Application, those activities shall be governed by VEP-1-5A, Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report.
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 16 of 37 Rev. 2 The NDCP provides for verifying or checking the adequacy of design, such as by the performance of design reviews, by the use of alternate or simplified calculational methods, or by the performance of a suitable testing program.
When a testing program is solely used to test the adequacy of a design, the test will be conducted under adverse design conditions. The provisions of this section assure that individuals other than those who performed the original design perform the verifying or checking process. These individuals are identified and their authority and responsibility is described. The NDCP also identifies the design documents that are required to be reviewed and the personnel responsible for their review and revisions, to assure that design characteristics can be controlled, inspected and tested, and that inspection and test criteria are identified. Design documents, design change documents and revisions thereto are distributed to responsible supervisors to determine whether revisions to controlled design and operating documents are necessary. Design documents and reviews, records and changes thereto are collected, stored and maintained in a systematic and controlled manner.
The NDCP establishes measures for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment and processes that are essential to safety-related or safety significant functions. These measures include the use of valid and applicable industry standards and specifications, materials and prototype hardware testing programs, and design reviews. In the event of a design modification to a system which is safety related, engineering studies are initiated to evaluate parts, equipment, processes, and material suitability for repair of such equipment or components; previously approved items are used without further review. Previously approved materials, parts or components used for a different application are reviewed for suitability prior to approval for their new application.
Quality measures are assured through all levels of the design control program by the design control organization, station and corporate support organizations. Any errors or deficiencies noted in the design process are documented on the design change forms and subsequently corrected. Any non-conforming conditions identified are documented and corrected in accordance with the Corrective Action Process (section 17).
Procedures for design controls, analysis, and reviews have as their basis the applicable portions of documents referenced in the Nuclear Design Control Manual, and include ANSI N45.2.11-1974 as modified in Table 17.2.0 of VEP-1-5A, Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report.
An Engineering Standard is used to establish the interface between the company and contractors for design activities. The standard requires that the licensees program requirements be followed in the preparation, review and
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 17 of 37 Rev. 2 approval of design documents such as design changes, specifications and drawings.
Suitable design controls are applied to such disciplines as reactor physics; seismic stress, thermal, hydraulic, radiation and accident analysis, compatibility of materials; and accessibility for inservice inspection, maintenance and repair. Designs are reviewed to assure that (1) design characteristics can be controlled, inspected, and tested, and (2) inspection and test criteria are identified.
Some activities described in this section are included in the operational QA program and may not be needed for ESP application development. Examples of safety-related activities for the ESP program include, but are not limited to, site geotechnical investigations, seismic analysis, and meteorological analysis.
- 5. Procurement Document Control Administrative procedures describe the program for completing procurement documents including review, approval, document control, and change control.
In addition, references to procedures that govern the actions of Nuclear Oversight and Vendor Surveillance are made which include provisions for access to the suppliers facilities and records, for source inspection or audit, and qualification of vendors prior to the initiation of quality related actions when the need for such inspection and/or audit has been determined. This program also provides for records to be prepared, maintained, made available for review, or delivered to the Company prior to use or installation of the hardware, such as drawings, specifications, procedures, procurement documents, inspection and test records, personnel and procedure qualifications, material, chemical and physical tests results, and the identification of quality assurance requirements applicable to the items or services purchased, including sub-tier procurement requirements when required.
Administrative procedures are established to ensure that procurement documents reference all actions required by a supplier in accordance with the applicable codes, specifications, and drawings. Any non-conforming conditions identified shall be documented and corrected in accordance with the Corrective Action Process (section 17).
Procurement documents incorporate the design basis technical and quality requirements including the applicable regulatory requirements, component
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 18 of 37 Rev. 2 and material identification requirements, drawings, specifications, codes and industrial standards, test and inspection requirements, and special instructions for special processes such as welding, heat treating, non-destructive testing and cleaning as applicable. Design basis information is developed in accordance with the Design Control process (Section 4).
Procurement documents for spare or replacement parts of safety-related structures, systems and components are subject to technical and quality controls at least equivalent to those used on the original equipment.
Procurement documents are prepared, reviewed, and approved as delineated in administrative controls. Copies of procurement documents, or equivalent documents such as Receiving Reports or Requisitioners Purchase Orders, are retained and are available for review. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
Some activities described in this section are included in the operational QA program and may not be needed for ESP application development. For development of the ESP Application, activities subject to this criterion are limited to the procurement of vendor services.
- 6. Instructions, Procedures and Drawings Detailed written procedures are established, approved, implemented, and maintained to control development of the Application.
Other activities affecting quality of safety related items within the scope of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B are prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings of a type appropriate to the circumstances. These activities are accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Applicable instructions, procedures, or drawings include for reference appropriate qualitative and/or quantitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.
Administrative procedures describe the requirements for developing, reviewing, approving, and controlling procedures, instructions and drawings used for testing as well as design development, administrative, and other activities performed in support of development of the Application. These requirements include references, prerequisites, precautions, limitations, manufacturers specifications, check-off lists, and acceptance criteria (as
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 19 of 37 Rev. 2 appropriate). When applicable the acceptance limits and requirements contained in the design and procurement documents constitute a portion of the acceptance criteria referenced and contained in written testing procedures.
Changes to procedures or instructions require the procedure or instruction to be revised before a change can be implemented. The revision process will have the same level of review as the original procedure or instruction.
Drawing changes are controlled under the Design Control process (Section 4).
New procedures and instructions and procedure or instruction revisions are also reviewed using an Activity Screening to determine if any impact exists on the operating unit and if so, whether a safety evaluation is required. If the procedure, instruction or drawing has an impact on the operating unit, review and approval of the procedure, instruction or drawing shall be accomplished in accordance with VEP-1-5A, Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report. Revisions that do not require a safety evaluation and have no impact on the operating unit are reviewed by cognizant management prior to implementation. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures, drawings and instructions implementing this section are based.
- 7. Document Control Measures are established and documented describing the control of documents, such as procedures, instructions, and drawings, to provide for their review, approval, and issue, and changes thereto, prior to release and to assure they are adequate and the quality requirements are stated. Normally changes to documents are reviewed and approved by the same organizations that performed the original review and approval; however, this responsibility may be delegated to other qualified responsible organizations. Approved changes are incorporated into procedures and drawings and other appropriate documents associated with the change. Procedures, drawings and instructions and changes thereto are processed, distributed and controlled and obsolete copies are disposed of. The company maintains a record of all holders of procedures and drawings and an index of all procedures and drawings, listing the current revision date. Instructions require that a copy of the appropriate procedure be available at the activity location prior to the commencement of that activity. These measures are addressed in the Administrative Procedures for each station.
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 20 of 37 Rev. 2 Administrative procedures list certain documents that require strict administrative control for distribution, revision, and routing. These documents are categorized as Controlled Documents. Examples of controlled documents are Station Procedures, and Station Drawings. Also set forth are the distribution and controlling procedures for design and procurement documents. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based. Record Retention will be in accordance with Table 17.2-2 of VEP-1-5A.
- 8. Control of Purchased Material, Equipment and Services An evaluation of suppliers is performed prior to contract award, except in emergency situations where an item or service is needed to preclude development or deterioration of an unsafe condition at the plant, by one or more of the following: (1) A review of the suppliers capability to comply with the elements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B that are applicable to the type of material, equipment, or service being procured, (2) A review of previous records and performances of suppliers who have provided similar articles of the type being procured, (3) A survey of the suppliers facilities and quality assurance program to determine his capability to supply a product or service which meets the design, manufacturing, and quality requirements, or (4) A review of qualification information supplied by another utility or outside organization.
Surveillance of suppliers during fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipment of materials, equipment, and components is planned and performed in accordance with written procedures to assure conformance to the purchase order requirements as applicable. These procedures provide for:
- a. Instructions that specify the characteristics or processes to be witnessed, inspected or verified, and accepted; the method of surveillance and the extent of documentation required; and those responsible for implementing these instructions. Surveillance shall be performed on those items where verification of procurement requirements cannot be determined on receipt.
- b. Audits and/or inspections which assure that the supplier complies with all quality requirements.
Administrative procedures describe the requirements for controlling purchased material, equipment, and services including commercial grade
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 21 of 37 Rev. 2 items for use on safety-related applications. The requirements applied to spare and replacement parts are at least equivalent to those applied to the original parts.
Inspections and surveillance of suppliers of nuclear safety-related items is performed under the direction of the Vice President Nuclear Engineering and the Vice President Nuclear Support Services. The results of these actions are documented and filed. The periodic inspections assure that applicable material and equipment received at the station meet the requirements of the specifications, purchase orders, code, drawings, or other purchasing documents. This assurance includes the review of documentation received, physical inspection, cleanliness, packaging, marking or functional testing, as required.
Purchased items are normally under the control of the Supply Chain Management (Generation) organization. This organization is authorized to contact system organizations and NSSS, A/E contractors and subcontractors through the auspices of system representatives for assistance as required.
Verification of these activities is accomplished under the direction of the Director Nuclear Oversight.
Any non-conforming conditions identified are documented and corrected in accordance with the Corrective Action Process (section 17).
Periodic evaluations of procurement history of the suppliers are performed by Nuclear Oversight to verify continued supplier capability.
Documentation concerning the quality of material, components, and equipment received is reviewed by a representative of the Vice President Nuclear Engineering or the Vice President Nuclear Support Services for conformance with the Purchase Requisition and Purchase Order. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
- 9. Identification and Control of Materials, Parts and Components During the development of an Early Site Permit Application, no safety-related materials, parts or components will be procured or used. For this reason, this criterion is not applicable to the development of an Early Site Permit Application.
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 22 of 37 Rev. 2
- 10. Control of Special Processes The safety-related scope of the development of the ESP application will not involve the use of special processes. For this reason, this criterion is not applicable to the development of an Early Site Permit Application.
- 11. Inspection Inspection procedures for those activities affecting quality will be established as appropriate, prior to work being performed. Written procedures will be developed as needed to include inspection hold points.
Examinations, measurements, or tests of materials or components associated with safety-related equipment and systems are performed for each work operation, where necessary, to assure quality. If inspection is impossible or inappropriate, indirect control by monitoring methods, equipment, and personnel is provided. Both methods are provided when control is inadequate without both.
Examinations, measurements, or tests that require witnessing are identified as inspection hold points in procedures. The inspection performed at a hold point is specific in nature; quality characteristics and acceptance/rejection criteria are included or qualitative criteria such as operability checks, compliance with procedural steps, or cleanliness instructions are specified.
The inspection is documented by signature or initials on the written procedure form.
The inspection program requires that inspectors be assigned as appropriate for the activity being inspected. An inspector may be a member of the organization performing the activity. However, they must be qualified and shall not be the person performing the activity or the supervisor directly responsible for the activity. Maintenance and modification inspection personnel are under the administrative direction of the Quality Inspection Coordinator when performing Quality Control inspections. Personnel so assigned shall become familiar with the procedure being used and other pertinent documents such as technical manuals and drawings prior to performing the inspection.
Maintenance and modification inspection personnel, Material Verification personnel and Vendor Surveillance personnel meet the qualification requirements of ANSI N45.2.6-1978, under NRC Regulatory Guide 1.58 as clarified in VEP-1-5A, Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 23 of 37 Rev. 2 Table 17.2-0. The inspectors qualifications are periodically reviewed for recertification.
Generally, all physical inspections are under the control of the on-site organization. However, the Site Vice President is authorized to request assistance as required from corporate support organizations.
Additionally, inspection activities pertaining to Design Control (Section 4);
Procurement Document Control (Section 5); and Corrective Action (Section
- 17) shall be controlled in accordance with provisions established for this function in the referenced sections contained herein. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
Some activities described in this section are included in the operational QA program and may not be needed for ESP application development. The performance of site geotechnical investigations is an example of a safety-related activity for the ESP program that may involve inspections to assure compliance with procedures.
- 12. Test Control Testing done in support of the Early Site Permit application development will be controlled by written test procedures. These test procedures will include or reference:
- 1. The requirements and acceptance limits contained in applicable design and procurement documents.
- 2. Test prerequisites such as the availability of adequate and appropriate equipment and calibrated instrumentation; trained, qualified, and licensed or certified personnel; the completeness of the item to be tested; suitable and controlled environmental conditions; provisions for data collection and storage.
- 3. Instructions for performing the test.
- 4. Inspection points as appropriate.
- 5. Acceptance and rejection criteria.
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 24 of 37 Rev. 2
- 6. Methods of documenting or recording test data and results.
Any instrumentation used shall be in a calibration program. This program provides, by the use of equipment history data, status, records, and performance schedules, for the date that calibration is due and indicates the status of calibration. The identity of person(s) performing calibration is provided on the calibration documents. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
- 13. Control of Measuring and Test Equipment A program has been established and documented in administrative procedures that describes the calibration technique and frequency, maintenance, and control of all Measuring and Test Equipment (portable instruments, tools, gauges, fixtures, reference and transfer standards, and non-destructive test equipment) which are used in the measurement, inspection, maintenance, and monitoring of safety-related components, systems, and structures. Measuring and test equipment does not include:
measuring equipment used for preliminary checks or utility troubleshooting where accuracy is not required. There is also no intention to imply a need for special calibration and control measures of rulers, tape measures, levels, and other basic tools if normal commercial practices provide adequate accuracy.
Controls for measuring and test equipment include the transportation, storage, and protection of the equipment; the handling of associated documents giving the status of all items under the calibration system such as maintenance history, calibration test data, and individual log sheets assigned to each device; and the permanent marking of each device by a unique number.
The maintenance, calibration technique, and frequency of calibration of measuring and test equipment utilized in activities affecting quality are normally performed as specified in the manufacturers instruction manual or in approved written procedures. In some cases the calibration interval may be assigned or changed based on accumulated experience by trained technicians. The recall system may include provisions for the temporary extension of the calibration due date under certain conditions specified in approved procedures.
If standards are not available or there is some special reason that procedures cannot be followed, the modified procedures and/or interval are documented, including justification. In other cases, rather than require calibration at
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 25 of 37 Rev. 2 specified intervals, procedures may specify the device be calibrated prior to use, as in the case of torque wrenches or micrometers. Where permitted by commercially available state of the art equipment, reference standards are no more than 1/4 the error allowed in the measuring and test equipment calibrated by that standard.
Measuring and test equipment used on safety-related systems or equipment are calibrated utilizing reference standards whose calibration has a known valid relationship to nationally recognized standards, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), or accepted values of natural physical constants. If no national standard exists, the basis for calibration is documented. Whether the device is calibrated at the power station or at an NIST traceable outside laboratory, one or more stickers are affixed on a conspicuous surface identifying, but not limited to, date of calibration and next calibration due date.
When measuring and test equipment utilized in activities affecting quality are found to be out of calibration an evaluation will be performed and documented concerning the validity of previous tests and the acceptability of devices previously tested. All previous tests and measurements performed during the current or proceeding calibration cycle shall be redone if the evaluation so indicates.
Implementation of the measuring and test equipment programs is assured through Nuclear Oversight audits and through inspections by the appropriate line organizations during performance of work. The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
- 14. Handling, Storage and Shipping Measures have been established in administrative procedures to provide adequate methods by qualified personnel for the classification, packaging, cleaning, preservation, shipping, storage, and handling of material and equipment received at the station.
These measures, prepared in accordance with design and specification requirements, define responsibility, levels of cleanliness, tagging, and storage levels for categorized items.
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 26 of 37 Rev. 2 The procedures also control cleaning, handling, storage, packaging, shipping, and preservation of materials, components, and systems to preclude damage, loss, or deterioration by environmental conditions such as temperature or humidity. Implementation of these measures is verified through inspections by Materials Verification and Vendor Surveillance inspectors.
The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
Some activities described in this section are included in the operational QA program and may not be needed for ESP application development. The handling, storage, and potential shipping of soil samples taken during site geotechnical investigations is an example of a safety-related activity for the ESP program that is subject to this criterion
- 15. Inspection, Test and Operating Status Measures for the identification and documentation of the inspection and test status for items to prevent inadvertent bypassing of specified inspections and tests are established in administrative procedures and in station operating procedures. These measures define the three general categories of inspection and test status for items: Accept, Reject, or Hold. They provide for status identification through the use of stickers, tags, record cards, test records, check-off lists, or logs.
The operating status of items and/or equipment is identified through records, checklists, or operational tagging systems that are maintained to indicate the status and authority to operate the item and/or equipment and is not generally applicable to the ESP application development.
Testing to support the ESP project is controlled by specific test procedures that assure that all evolutions are controlled.
The application and removal of the various status tags, stickers, and other indicators is controlled by Station Procedures.
- 16. Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components A documented system for controlling non-conformances observed during receipt inspection, storage, fabrication and erection, installation, initial and/or
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 27 of 37 Rev. 2 acceptance testing, or initial operation is established and provides for the preparation, issuing, and distribution of Deviation Reports and Discrepant Shipment Reports in accordance with prescribed procedures.
Due to the scope of the ESP application development project, no parts or materials are expected to be received from offsite sources. This section governs soil and site characterization samples and their storage and shipment (if necessary).
Specifically, instructions require that the individual discovering a non-conformance identifies, describes, and documents the non-conformance on a Deviation Report or a Discrepant Shipment Report in accordance with administrative procedures.
When a non-conforming item is identified, it is placed in the hold area established in the storeroom or other segregated location, if practical, and identified with a hold tag to prevent its inadvertent use. If material is dispositioned as reject the hold tag shall remain attached to the material/component until loaded for departure from site and shall only be removed in accordance with approved procedures by authorized personnel at that time.
Hold items may be released on a risk basis following the documented approval of such risk release by the Site Vice President on a Release on a Risk Basis Form. Each risk release is handled on a case basis and depends on the nature of the hold status. The basis and conditions of the release are described on the form, including the criteria for clearing the original hold status.
Rejected material is not risk released.
A Deviation Report or a Discrepant Shipment Report for a non-conforming material, part, or component dispositioned accept as is requires an engineering analysis and approval. The results of this review and approval are documented and become a part of station records.
Should the disposition of a non-conformance require the rework or repair of materials, parts, components, systems, or structures, such rework or repair is reinspected or retested by a method which is at least equal to the original inspection or test method. The inspection requirements and the inspection, rework, or repair procedures are documented and become a part of station records.
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 28 of 37 Rev. 2 The disposition and approval of non-conformances are the responsibility of the on-site organization. However, the Site Vice President has the authority to request assistance as appropriate from Corporate support organizations or from Nuclear Oversight.
The Station Deviation Reports trends are periodically reviewed for conditions adverse to quality by station management.
Implementation and verification of the procedures for the control of non-conformances are assured through audits and inspections.
Non-conformances found at a vendors facility during surveillances are controlled by procedures administered by Nuclear Engineering.
- 17. Corrective Action Corrective action measures are established as an integral part of the processing and resolving of non-conformances and failures in service.
Through these measures, assurance is confirmed that significant adverse quality conditions are identified, documented, their cause determined, and the corrective actions have been taken that preclude repetition of the adverse quality conditions. Verification of the proper implementation of corrective action measures and close-out of corrective action documentation is assured through the monitoring effort of the staff and the audits conducted by Nuclear Oversight. Adverse conditions significant to quality, the cause of the conditions, and the initiation of corrective action are reported to appropriate levels of both offsite and onsite management by use of Deviation Reports and audit findings. If further corrective action is required the appropriate management program for performing, tracking and closing the issue will be used.
Nuclear Engineering maintains a program to evaluate complex design concerns that may lead to adverse quality conditions at the nuclear stations.
The Potential Problem Reporting (PPR) system allows for detailed, multidiscipline reviews of complex design concerns that may yield station deviation reports. Many design concerns cannot be determined to be adverse to quality until a detailed design review is performed. The PPR process controls this activity as part of the Nuclear Design Control Program.
The procedures for processing a Deviation Report require that each adverse condition significant to quality be categorized as either requiring a Licensee Event Report, Special Report or NRC Notification or as a non-reportable
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 29 of 37 Rev. 2 deviation. Non-reportable deviation refers to deviations not reportable to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The reporting requirements differ for each of the categories of deviation but require the appropriate levels of management be notified in each case.
The corrective action program is controlled in accordance with VEP-1-5A, Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report. This program will be used to resolve all corrective action items.
Authority to Stop Work Nuclear Oversight and inspection personnel have the authority, and the responsibility, to stop work in progress which is not being done in accordance with approved procedures or where safety or equipment integrity may be jeopardized. This extends to off-site work performed by vendors furnishing safety-related materials and services to the Company.
Imposition of Stop Work A. Nuclear Oversight - The Nuclear Oversight or inspection representative advises the cognizant supervisor or supervisory personnel to stop work in progress whenever they determine that it is not being conducted in accordance with applicable procedures, instructions, guides, or standards or may jeopardize the safe operation of the station. Nuclear Oversight representatives inform the Director Nuclear Oversight of the stop work order.
Inspection personnel inform the Director Nuclear Station S&L of the stop work order. The Director Nuclear Oversight or the Director Nuclear Station S&L then notifies the Vice President Nuclear Support Services of the decision to stop work because of adverse quality conditions.
B. Vice President Nuclear Support Services - The Vice President Nuclear Support Services evaluates the determination to stop work.
- 1. If the Vice President Nuclear Support Services concurs with the decision to stop work, the necessary corrective action is initiated.
Only after the discrepancy has been corrected and the corrective action approved by the initiating organization does work resume.
- 2. In the event the Vice President Nuclear Support Services does not concur with the decision to stop work, direction may be given to resume work by notifying the Director Nuclear Oversight and the appropriate supervisory personnel in the organization of the decision. The issue shall also be referred to the Senior Vice
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 30 of 37 Rev. 2 President - Nuclear Operations and Chief Nuclear Officer for review and approval.
C. Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations and Chief Nuclear Officer
- The Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations and Chief Nuclear Officer is responsible for approving or disapproving the Vice President Nuclear Support Services decision in those cases where the Senior Vice President - Nuclear Operations and Chief Nuclear Officer does not concur with the decision to resume work following a stop work order.
D. Director Nuclear Oversight - The Director Nuclear Oversight may refer any issues concerning the handling of stop work to the Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer. The Director Nuclear Oversight may direct imposition of stop work whenever such action is deemed to be appropriate. Imposition of offsite stop work performed by vendors shall be controlled by appropriate administrative procedures.
- 18. Quality Assurance Records The requirements and responsibilities for quality assurance records transmittal, retention, and maintenance subsequent to completion of work at the power station have been established and are documented in administrative procedures.
VEP-1-5A, Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report will govern the requirements and commitments for the retention and storage of Quality Assurance Records.
- 19. Audits Internal audits of selected aspects of construction phase activities are performed with a frequency commensurate with safety significance and in a manner which assures that biennial (2 years) audits of safety-related activities are completed. In addition, due to the relatively short nature of the application development process, an audit will be scheduled of the project prior to application submittal. The audits are scheduled on a formal preplanned audit schedule. The audit system is reviewed periodically and revised as necessary to assure coverage commensurate with current and planned activities.
Additional audits may be performed as deemed necessary by management.
The scope of the audit is determined by the quality status and safety importance of the activities being performed. These audits are conducted by
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 31 of 37 Rev. 2 trained personnel not having direct responsibilities in the area being audited and in accordance with preplanned and approved audit plans or checklists.
Nuclear Oversight is delegated the responsibility for conducting periodic internal and external audits. Internal audits are conducted to determine the adequacy of programs and procedures, that they are meaningful, and comply with the overall Quality Assurance Program. External audits determine the adequacy of vendor and contractor 10 CFR 50, Appendix B QA Programs. An audit includes an objective evaluation of quality-related practices, procedures, and instructions; the effectiveness of implementation; and the conformance with policy and directives. An audit also includes the evaluation of work area, activities, processes, and items and the review of documents and records.
Provisions are established requiring that audits be performed in those areas where the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 are being implemented.
These areas include as a minimum, but are not limited to, those activities associated with the preparation, review, approval, and control of design and design changes, procurement documents, instructions, procedures, and drawings; receiving and plant inspections; indoctrination and training programs; and the remaining criteria in Appendix B to 10 CFR 50.
The results of each audit are reported in writing to the Project Manager, the Vice President Nuclear Support Services and the Senior Vice President -
Nuclear Operations and Chief Nuclear Officer. Additional internal distribution is made to other concerned management levels in accordance with approved procedures.
Management responds to all audits and initiates corrective action where indicated. Where corrective action measures are indicated, documented follow-up of applicable areas through inspections, review, re-audits, or other appropriate means is conducted to verify implementation of assigned corrective action.
If the Director Nuclear Oversight determines the response to an internal audit finding is unacceptable or if a finding response is not received in the time allotted or if corrective action for a finding is not accomplished as indicated on the response, the matter is brought to the attention of the Vice President Nuclear Support Services or appropriate Corporate Director for resolution. If the Director Nuclear Oversight does not agree with the resolution proposed, the Director of Nuclear Oversight notifies appropriate levels of management in accordance with established escalation procedures. The escalation of external audit issues identified by Nuclear Oversight is controlled by administrative procedures. The responsibility for analyzing audit reports for trends and effectiveness lies with the Director Nuclear Oversight. As trends are discovered or if the effectiveness of the program is in question, the
Early Site Permit Application Development Quality Assurance Manual Page 32 of 37 Rev. 2 analysis of the Director Nuclear Oversight is forwarded to the management level consistent with the seriousness of the problem.
The Operational Quality Assurance Program Topical Report, VEP-1-5A, Table 17.2-0 contains the standards, requirements or guides from which the procedures implementing this section are based.
- 20. Issuance and Revision of the Early Site Permit Application Development QA Manual Until the submittal of the Early Site Permit Application, the administrative control of this manual will be the responsibility of the Project Manager - Early Site Permit Project. This manual shall be revised as appropriate to incorporate additional commitments as they are established during the application development process. New revisions to the manual will be reviewed, at a minimum, by the Project Manager - Early Site Permit Project, and the Director of Nuclear Oversight and approved by the Vice President, Nuclear Support Services.
Distribution of this manual will be controlled in accordance with Section 7.
