PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Part 1: INTRODUCTION Section A: Purpose This document describes the emergency preparedness program for Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). The philosophy that guides the development and maintenance of this program is the protection of the health and safety of the general public in the communities around PNPS and the personnel who work at the plant.

The PNPS Emergency Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. This document is not intended to be used as a procedure. Detailed PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions.

This Plan documents the methods by which the PNPS Emergency Preparedness Program meets the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), Part 50, Section 47(b) and Appendix E.

Section B: Background PNPS is located in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at 410 56.69 min. North, 700 34.74 min. West. It is situated on the western coast of Cape Cod Bay, on approximately 1600 acres of land, owned by Entergy. The plant is a General Electric Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design and produces a net electrical output of 670 megawatts. A detailed description of the plant is given in the PNPS Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).

The primary hazard consideration at PNPS is the potential unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from an accident at the plant. The probability of such a release is considered very low due to plant design and strict operational guidelines enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). However, Federal regulations and common sense require that a solid emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station.

Section C: Scope This document describes actions to be taken in the event of an accident at PNPS which might lead to impact on the health and safety of the general public.

If such an accident were to occur, thePNPS Emergency Response Organization (as defined in this plan) would be put in place and maintained until such time the plant was returned to a stable condition and the threat to the general public no longer existed. This plan describes the operation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. It does not, nor is it intended to provide guidance for actual plant equipment manipulations. These instructions are contained in PNPS normal and emergency operating procedures as required by Technical Specifications and other regulatory guidance. An emergency recovery phase is also described in this plan.

Section D: Planning Basis Development of this plan was based on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, uEmergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Plants," and NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1. Other applicable regulations, publications and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with PNPS documents to ensure consistency in the planning effort.

vii Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN This plan was developed in coordination with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan, Appendix 3, "Radiological Emergency Response Plan for Fixed Nuclear Facilities" and local community emergency response plans.

Section E: Form and Content of Plan This plan is Appendix N of the PNPS Unit 1 FSAR but is maintained as a separate document.

This Plan has been formatted in a manner similar to NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1.

The use of this format lends itself to verification of meeting the criteria set forth in NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". Appendix 2, "Procedure Cross-Reference to Sections of the Plan", provides a cross-reference between this plan and the PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing and Administrative Procedures.

This plan is updated as necessary, in accordance with guidance provided by Emergency Preparedness Administrative Procedures viil Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section A: Assignment of Responsibilitv This section describes the primary responsibilities for emergency response by Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), Federal, State, Commonwealth, and local organizations within the PNPS Plume Exposure Pathway and the Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs).

- It serves as the primary interface between PNPS and outside organizations responsible for the protection of the public.

  • The Public Information Organization, directed by the Company Spokesperson, coordinates with public information officers from other organizations to provide emergency information to the public through the news media.
c. Interrelationships between major PNPS organizations and sub-organizations in the total response effort are illustrated in a block diagram in Figure A-1. For a more detailed diagram of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization, see Figure B-1.
d. The Emergency Director is the senior PNPS manager in charge of emergency response and has overall authority and responsibility for coordinating all emergency response actions at PNPS.

A-7 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

e. The PNPS Emergency Response Organization is composed of pre-designated Station personnel available and trained to augment the on-shift complement in an emergency.

Procedures for training and maintenance of the emergency organization are in place to assure 24-hour per day staffing for emergency response. The normal on-shift complement provides the initial response to an emergency. This group is trained to handle emergency situations, e.g. initiate the implementation of the PNPS Emergency Plan, make initial accident assessment, emergency classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations until Emergency Response Organization activation occurs.

2. Commonwealth and Local Functions and Responsibilities: The Commonwealth, the local towns and reception center communities have Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) that specify the responsibilities and functions for the major agencies, departments, and key individuals of their emergency response organizations. This information is located in their respective plans.
3. Agreements in Planning Effort: Written agreements with support organizations having an emergency response role within the PNPS EPZs (including hospitals and medical transportation) are provided in Appendix 3, "Copies of Letters of Agreement". These agreements identify the emergency measures to be provided, the mutually accepted criteria for implementation, and the arrangements for exchange of information. Federal, Commonwealth, State, and local agencies that have response functions covered by laws, regulations, or executive orders have developed plans to meet these functions. These approved Plans serve as written agreements for agencies response to an incident at PNPS.
4. Continuous Coverage: The PNPS Emergency Response Organization`ias sufficient numbers of qualified, trained personnel to provide the capability of continuous (24-hour) operations. The PNPS Emergency Telephone pirectory is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis and identifies these individuals. The Nuclear Assessment Director administers the program to ensure availability of resources in the event of an emergency.

The Emergency Director has the authority and is responsible for assuring continuity of resources (technical, administrative, and material) in the event of the activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization.

1. The Control Room initially interfaces with offsite agencies
2. All PNPS Facilities interface directly with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Emergency I Response Team when they arrive.
3. The interface is depicted in italics, e.g. assessment actions, corrective actions, protective actions, and information transfer.

A-9 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section B: Station Emergency Organization This section describes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization, its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among PNPS response personnel and specifies offsite support available to respond to the PNPS.

1. PNPS Emergency Response Organization Assignments: Table B-1 outlines the PNPS on-shift complement and their emergency duties. Members of the on-shift organization are trained on their responsibilities and duties in the event of an emergency, and are capable of performing all response actions in an Unusual Event, and the initial actions of higher classifications. Table B-1 further lists key PNPS Emergency Response Organization positions required to meet minimum augmentation capabilities for the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification. Each Emergency Response Facility lead has the authority to, if necessary to activate the facility, designate personnel to fill Emergency Response Organization positions. These designations should be limited to one shift or until assigned personnel arrive.

The normal PNPS personnel complement is established with the Senior Nuclear Executive having overall authority for Station operations (the Shift Manager always retains the responsibility for actual operation of plant systems). The Senior Nuclear Executive directs senior Nuclear Organization staff in the management of the various department/organizations. When an emergency is declared, the normal organization structure is replaced by the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. PNPS Emergency Response Organization personnel are selected based on comparison of the emergency functions they are to perform with their normal daily tasks and prior training. A Nuclear Organization Procedure outlines job descriptions for the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. Key positions are normally filled from the Nuclear Organization as listedfbelow. However, due to the large amount of cross training and diversification across all areas within the Nuclear Organization, positions can be staffed from any part of the Nuclear Organization where personnel may be found with the capacity and expertise to perform the assigned emergency function as described in NOP88A4.

a. The Emergency Director is a member of the PNPS senior management staff.
b. The Emergency Plant Manager is a member of the PNPS senior management staff.
  • The Emergency Plant Operations Supervisor is a member of Plant Operations who holds an operators license on PNPS.
  • The Operations Support Center Supervisor is assigned from Plant Operations or Engineering.
  • The Emergency Security Supervisor is the Nuclear Security Operations Supervisor or a designated alternate from Nuclear Security.
  • The Onsite Radiological Supervisor is the Radiation Protection Manager or a designated senior member of Radiation Protection.
c. The Emergency Offsite Manager is a senior member of Nuclear Assessment or designated alternate from PNPS staff.

B-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • The Offsite Radiological Supervisor is normally from the Nuclear Assessment Group or Radiation Protection.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section C: Emergency Response Support and Resources This section describes the provisions for requesting and effectively utilizing support resources and for accommodating Commonwealth and local staff at the PNPS Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

1. Federal Response Support and Resources: Assistance is available from Federal agencies through the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP). The primary Federal agencies who provide assistance to the Commonwealth and PNPS, respectively, are the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Other Federal agencies, through FRERP, provide assistance to the Commonwealth in an emergency.
a. Sections A and B of this Plan identify the specific persons by title who are authorized to request Federal assistance.
b. Federal agencies that may provide assistance in direct support of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) in the event of an accident are identified in Section A of this plan. If needed, Federal resources are made available to PNPS in an expeditious and timely manner.
c. Each PNPS emergency response facility has the equipment and communications capability necessary for a continuous high level of response, interaction and communication among key personnel during emergency conditions. The Technical Support Center (TSC) is able to accommodate seven NRC representatives. Working areas are available and a desk has been provided for their use. The EOF has space to accommodate twelve NRC representatives as well as representatives from FEMA, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

In addition to PNPS facilities and equipment, Commonwealth and local facilities and equipment are available to support the Federal response. Among these are the Commonwealth Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) in Framingham and Bridgewater and local EOCs in Plymouth, Duxbury, Carver, Kingston and Marshfield, and Reception Centers in Taunton, Bridgewater and Braintree.

2. Liaisons:
a. The NRC, FEMA, MEMA, and MDPH may dispatch representatives to the EOF where accommodations have been provided.
b. At the Alert level and above, PNPS liaisons are dispatched to the Commonwealth and local government EOCs to act as communications liaisons and to provide clarification of emergency response information.
3. Radiological Laboratories: Outside analytical assistance may be requested from Commonwealth and Federal agencies and other utilities if the offsite radiological monitoring and environmental sampling operation exceeds the capacity of the PNPS capabilities.

C-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN PNPS maintains access to additional laboratory facilities through agreements with the Framatome ANP DE&S and the DOE Brookhaven Area office. A description of their general capabilities is provided in Section H of this Plan. It is estimated that these laboratories are able to respond within eight hours of initial notification.

4. Other Assistance: Contracted services, as listed in the Emergency Telephone Directory (ETD), are available and may be used in support of an emergency response at PNPS.

Though not a typical contracted service, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operation (INPO) is able to provide:

  • Assistance in locating sources of emergency manpower and equipment,
  • An organization of industry experts who could advise the utility on technical matters, and
  • Analysis of operational aspects of the incident.

Through INPO, nuclear utilities have identified technical experts and specialized equipment that could be provided upon request in an emergency. The INPO Emergency Resources Manual includes the information necessary to locate and request specialized equipment and technical assistance in the event of a nuclear emergency at PNPS. INPO member utilities and suppliers agree to provide assistance as outlined in the INPO Emergency Resources Manual.

C-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section D: Emergency Classification System This section describes the classification and emergency action level scheme used to determine the minimum response to an abnormal event at the Station. This scheme is based on Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures. The initial response of Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by PNPS. PNPS works closely with the Commonwealth and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces.

1. Emergency Classification: This Plan provides for four classifications of emergency conditions. These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. However, during a safeguards contingency event, actions may be taken that depart from the immediate requirements specified for each of the four classification levels when those actions are immediately needed to protect the health and safety of members of the public or the plant staff. Those actions may include suspension, delay or modification of activities that could endanger the safety of members of the public, plant staff or security force or which could interfere with an effective response to the safeguards contingency event. Each classification is characterized by certain initiating symptoms or events called Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These action levels include specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. Table D-1 outlines the example conditions of abnormal symptoms and events, which would require declaration of an emergency at PNPS. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure used for classification of an event includes specific instrument readings and equipment status for establishing the symptoms and events appropriate for each classification. A conservative philosophy for classification is used to declare the highest emergency classification for which an EAL has been exceeded. The four classification levels are:
a. Unusual Event - Event(s) are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of PNPS. No release of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring is expected.

This is the least severe of the four (4) levels. The purpose of this classification is to bring the PNPS staff and offsite agencies to a state of readiness in the event the situation degrades.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.
  • Notification of certain members PNPS Emergency Response Organization to standby (portions of the organization may be activated at this classification).
  • Notification of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.

D-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by transmission of an Initial Notification Form indicating that the event has been terminated.
b. Alert - Event(s) are in progress or have occurred which indicate an actual degradation of the level of safety of PNPS. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected. The purpose of this classification is to ensure emergency personnel are readily available to respond, if the situation becomes more serious, and relieve the Control Room of some required actions so that the operations shift can concentrate on restoring the level of safety to the plant.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.

Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), Media Center (MC), and notification of Entergy Nuclear Northeast (ENN).

  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classificGTion.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in the response (i.e., NRC, State, Local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
c. Site Area Emergency - Event(s) are in progress with actual or likely major failures of plant systems needed to protect the general public. Any releases are not expected to exceed Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary. The Site Area Emergency class also includes events where a significant release of radioactive material is likely or is occurring but significant core degradation is not indicated based on current information.

The purpose of this classification is to ensure that all emergency response centers are manned, offsite monitoring teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched, personnel required to evacuate near-site areas are in position and provisions are made for information updates to the public through offsite authorities and the news media.

D-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary, this includes escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.
  • Activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which includes activation of the TSC, OSC, EOF, Media Center and Corporate Emergency Response Group.

Radiation Monitoring Teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched to monitor for releases of radiation to the environment.

  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to

-include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.

  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in response (i.e., NRC, State and Local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
d. General Emergency - Event(s) are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent core damage and the potential for a large release of radioactive material.

Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. This is the most severe classification of an emergency. The purpose of this classification is to initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, provide continuous assessment of information from monitoring groups and provide information updates to the public through offsite authorities and the news media.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • . Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary.
  • Activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which includes activation of the TSC, OSC, EOF, Media Center and Corporate Emergency Response Group.

Radiation Monitoring Teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched to monitor for releases of radiation to the environment.

  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and local agencies and not later than an hour after classification.

The emergency organization has personnel available to consult with the NRC on planned actions at the Station.

  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.

D-3 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Issuance , as a minimum, based upon plant conditions, initial protective action recommendations to affected EPZ sub-areas. Section J.7 provides a detail description of the possible recommendations that may be issued at the General Emergency classification including the consideration of administering potassium iodide (KI) to the general public.
  • Consideration of relocating the Media Center to its alternate site, based upon radiological or other conditions, such as a Commonwealth-directed evacuation of subarea 7.
  • Reassessment of PARs as necessary.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in response (i.e., NRC, State, local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
2. Emergency Action Levels: The symptoms and events outlined in Table D-1 encompass the example conditions from Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654, OCriteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness at Nuclear Power Plants" as well as the conditions indicative of postulated accidents from the Station's Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). The specific Emergency Action Levels detailed in the Implementing Procedures are utilized to classify emergency conditions and provide the control room operator with the indications characteristic of one or more of the symptoms or events specified.
3. Offsite Classification Systems: PNPS works with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local authorities to ensure consistency between classification schemes. The content of the Emergency Action Levels is reviewed with the Commonwealth and local authorities on an annual basis.
4. Offsite Emergency Procedures: PNPS works with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local authorities to ensure that procedures are in place that provide for emergency actions to be taken which are consistent with the protective actions recommended by PNPS accounting for local offsite conditions that exist at the time of the emergency.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section E: Notification Methods and Procedures This section describes the notification of Commonwealth and local response organizations and PNPS emergency response personnel. It outlines the content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations within the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

1. Response Organization Notification: PNPS, in cooperation with Commonwealth and local authorities, has established mutually agreeable methods for notification of response organizations consistent with the emergency classification and action level scheme.

When an emergency is declared, reclassified, or terminated, the Emergency Director ensures notifications are promptly made to first-line offsite support agencies. These first-line notification contacts are:

  • The local communities within the Plume Exposure EPZ and reception communities are notified by dedicated phone and facsimile equipment, with BECONS or commercial telephone as backups. These communities are Plymouth, Carver, Duxbury, Kingston, Marshfield, Bridgewater and Taunton.
  • The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is notified bQ a dedicated telephone system called the Emergency Notification System (ENS), or for backup, by commercial telephone. Initial notification occurs from the Control Room.
2. Notification and Mobilization of Emergency Response Personnel: At the Unusual Event classification, select portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization are notified and may be activated at the discretion of the Emergency Director. At the Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency classification level, activation of the Emergency Response Organization and related facilities is required. If the nature of the event threatens the safety of the ERO, personnel may be directed to the Chiltonville Staging Area or requested to remain in place until the security of the site is restored.

Announcements are made from the Control Room over the plant public address system to notify on-site personnel of plant-related emergency response information. In addition to the public address system, emergency organization personnel are notified by pagers or telephone calls using the Computerized Automated Notification System (CANS). Backup systems to CANS include the combination of using BEEPS if available (group pager number), and/or initiating telephone call-outs of emergency response personnel.

E-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN CANS is also capable of transmitting notification of a "Non-Emergency Response" in an undeclared event. Under this event type, the ERO may be placed on a state of heightened readiness with or without directions to respond to the Emergency Response Facilities, staging area, or to remain in place. Section F.1 provides more details on the ERO notification and mobilization process.

3. Initial Notification: The initial emergency message form includes information about:
  • authenticity, i.e. "This is a Drill" or "This is an Actual Event.'
  • identity of caller and receiver of call
  • emergency classification
  • emergency action level identification and whether a release is in progress
  • wind direction and speed
  • whether protective measures may be necessary
  • the date and time of classification and notification Initial notifications are delivered to the Commonwealth and local communities within fifteen (15) minutes of classification of an event. In a General Emergency the initial notification will also include protective action recommendations to the affected EPZ sub-areas. Section J.7 provides a detail description of the possible recommendations that may be issued at the General Emergency classification.
4. Follow-up Messages: The Emergency Director ensures communications are maintained with the offsite authorities through periodic follow-up messages. The follow-up messages include the following, as appropriate:
a. Location of incident and name of caller and receiver of call, whether a drill or not a drill.
b. Time and date of the incident.
c. Class of emergency.
d. Type of actual or potential radiological release (airborne, waterborne, surface spill).
e. Whether or not [estimate of quantity ofn radioactive material has been released or is being released and the points and heights of releases.
f. Radiological release information, including estimates of the relative quantities and concentrations of noble gases, halogens, and particulates.
g. Meteorological conditions at appropriate levels (wind speed, direction to and from, stability, precipitation).
h. Actual or projected dose rates at the site boundary, projected integrated dose at site boundary.

E-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

i. Projected dose rates and integrated dose at the projected peak and at 2, 5, and 10 miles, including subarea(s) affected.
j. Estimate of any surface contamination In-plant, onsite, or offsite.
k. Plant emergency response actions underway.

I. Recommended emergency actions, Including protective measures.

m. Request for any needed onsite support by offsite organizations.
n. Prognosis for worsening or termination of event based on plant information.
5. Commonwealth and Local Information Dissemination: Commonwealth and local government organizations, in cooperation with PNPS, have established a system for disseminating appropriate information to the public. The system includes notification through appropriate broadcast media, e.g. the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
6. Notification of the Public: The Towns of Plymouth, Carver, Kingston, Duxbury and Marshfield have the capability for providing an alert signal to their population within fifteen (15) minutes following the decision to notify the public.

PNPS, In cooperation with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local agencies, has developed the Prompt Alert and Notification System (PANS). PANS is the primary method of notifying the public. This system consists of one hundred and twelve (112) large scale electronic sirens and four (4) primary radio stations covering the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. The sirens alert the public to tune their radios to pre-designated EAS stations to receive Instructional messages. The EAS includes the following radio stations:

  • WBMX (FM) 98.5 Boston
  • WPLM (FM) 99.1 Plymouth
  • WPLM (AM) 1390 Plymouth

The siren system Is equipped with public address capability. This capability Is utilized for early notification to the beach and resident population of the Saquish/Gumet area. It may also be utilized by any of the towns at any time.

E-3 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN As a backup means of public notification, route alert teams, using public address systems, drive through areas where a siren failure has been indicated and broadcast an alert message which instructs the public to tune to an EAS station. Maps and instructions have been developed for each siren coverage area.

Severely hearing-impaired residents are called by the Town Emergency Response Organization using Teletypewriter (TTY) equipment.

Schools, major employers with 50 employees or more, transient shelters, health care facilities, and recreation areas are notified by tone alert radios activated by the EAS tone.

The public and commercial boating population receive notification from the Harbor Master and U. S. Coast Guard boats equipped with public address systems. Additional notification is also completed by marine and citizen band (CB) radios to those boats that are radio equipped.

Beach and pond visitors are notified by personnel from the Police Department or Public Works Department driving public address system equipped vehicles.

7. Messages to the Public: The Commonwealth has developed draft EAS and News Advisory messages that are intended for the public.- These draft messages are included as part of the Commonwealth plan and procedures and contain Instructions with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by occupants and visitors of affected areas such as: take shelter and go indoors, close windows and doors, turn off ventilation systems; directions given for evacuation; directions to stay tuned to specific stations for further information and instructions, ad hoc respiratory protection (fg. handkerchief over mouth), etc. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintains a stockpile of KI to be made available to emergency workers, institutionalized persons who cannot be evacuated, and the general public. The MDPHtnd MEMA provide information about the use of KI and how and where to obtain it. PNPS also provides supporting information for messages through the MEMA.

E-4 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section F: Emer-iency Communications This section describes the emergency communications equipment available to support the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization. It outlines the available communications equipment to:

  • Notify the PNPS Emergency Response Organization.
  • Provide Initial Notification to Offsite governmental agencies.
  • Communicate among the PNPS Emergency Response Facilities.
  • Communicate with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and other Federal, Commonwealth, and local response agencies.
  • Communicate with hospitals, ambulances, and other agencies providing offsite assistance to PNPS.

This section further outlines the program for insuring that the communications equipment is tested on a regular schedule, and that methods are in place to ensure rapid and reliable repair of any equipment found not operational.

1. Communications/Notifications: Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station maintains the capability to make Initial notifications to both the PNPS Emergency Response Organization and designated offsite agencies on a 24-hour per day basis. Figure F-1 depicts the Initial Notification paths and the organizational titles from PNPS to local and Commonwealth emergency response organizations. Those links that are manned 24-hours per day are indicated on Figure F-1. Table F-1 depicts the primary and alternate method of communicating between various PNPS facilities, with offsite facilities, and with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Table F-1 also depicts the provisions for communications with Commonwealth and utility radiological monitoring teams. Table F-2 shows available communications equipment within each of the PNPS emergency response facilities.

PNPS maintains a Computerized Automated Notification System (CANS) to rapidly notify members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. CANS consist of a micro-computer supporting modem equipment, which Is capable of initiating and receiving telephone calls. When CANS receives an Incoming telephone call, it requests a security identification and then responds with a computerized voice message giving the caller emergency Information. Upon CANS activation, one of the calls made by CANS is to the BEEPS, a computerized, commercial quality paging system that activates personal pagers belonging to members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. In addition to the call to BEEPS, CANS will also simultaneously Initiate telephone calls to notify emergency response personnel based on reporting priority to respond to the plant. The decision process used to activate CANS Is specified In appropriate Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

If CANS should fail, Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures specify the course of action to be taken. These procedures require a combination of using BEEPS, if available, and/or Initiating individual telephone call-outs of emergency response personnel.

F-11 Revision 27

1. Public Information Publication: The emergency public information publication for PNPS is an annual calendar which is developed In coordination with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), and local communities. It is distributed by mail to all residents and businesses within the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The contents of the calendar include the following:
a. Educational information on radiation;
b. Commonwealth and EPZ community contacts for additional information;
c. Definitions of protective measures as well as written descriptions of evacuation routes, locations of reception centers, steps to follow when sheltering or evacuating;
d. Special needs of the handicapped, and
e. Relocation points for school children.
2. Public Education Materials: In addition to the emergency public Information calendar, placards are posted throughout the EPZ communities. The placards provide Information to visitors about what to do when the sirens sound, evacuation routes and where to obtain additional emergency information. Emergency Information and instructions are also provided in local telephone directories.
3. Media Center
a. The Media Center, located at the Entergy Industrial Park Training Center In Plymouth, provides a location for the news media to receive information from all Involved agencies and companies during an emergency and provide it to the general public. Work areas are set up for the news media and telephones are installed for their use. If, due to radiological or other conditions, the Media Center is found to be uninhabitable, it will be relocated to the Alternate Media Center at Bridgewater State College In Bridgewater.

Comparable facilities both for Media Center staff and media representatives are available at the alternate facility.

b. During an emergency, the Emergency Director may approve tours of the Emergency Operations Facility to a limited number of news media. Tours may take place at an Unusual Event or during the Recovery phase. Tours normally originate from the Media Center, when activated, and are coordinated by the Media Center Supervisor. If the emergency facilities are not activated, tours are coordinated by the Nuclear Information Office.

G,1 G-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

4. Coordination of Public Information
a. The PNPS Company Spokesperson is the primary spokesperson for PNPS during an emergency. The Company Spokesperson has direct access to all necessary information (see Section B.5).
b. The Media Center is staffed by Federal and Commonwealth emergency management agencies and PNPS to assure timely exchange and coordination of information.

Representatives coordinate information prior to distributing news releases and prior to news briefings.

c. Rumors or misinformation are Identified during an emergency by the Media Monitor and Media Phone Team responders located at the Media Center. They respond to media calls and broadcasts and reports of misinformation or rumors are forwarded to the Media Center Supervisor for an appropriate response by Media Center staff. Rumor control Is also provided for by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
5. Media Orientation: The annual PNPS Media Orientation is coordinated with offsite agencies to acquaint the news media with emergency plans, basics of nuclear power operation and radiation fundamentals. The news media typically are provided a tour of the Media Center or other emergency response facilities.

G-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section H: Emergency Facilities and Eguipment This section describes the emergency facilities and equipment used by the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization. It outlines the facilities and equipment requirements which aid in the timely and accurate response by the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. It also describes the surveillance programs used to monitor and insure that these facilities and equipment are maintained in a high degree of constant readiness.

1. Technical Support Center (TSC). Operations Support Center (OSC). and the Control Room:

PNPS has established an onsite Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (OSC). The TSC and OSC are activated upon declaration of an Alert or above or at the discretion of the Emergency Director (ED) or Shift Manager. Until they become operational, required functions of these facilities are performed in the Control Room.

The Control Room is located on the 37' elevation of the Turbine Building. The Control Room is the focal point for all plant operational activities. The Control Room contains the instrumentation, control devices and displays necessary for operation of the reactor and turbine generator under normal and emergency situations.

The Control Room is staffed by Ucensed Nuclear Plant Operators and Senior Ucensed Nuclear Plant Operators. All plant-related operations are directed from the Control Room and supervised by the Shift Manager. During emergency operating conditions, only those personnel who are required for the safe operation of the plant are allowed access to the Control Room.

The TSC and OSC along with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) are the primary emergency response facilities in support of the Control Room. The primary emergency response facilities have been designed and built to withstand the most adverse conditions reasonably expected during the design life of the plant including adequate capabilities for earthquakes, high winds and floods. Each facility is equipped with fire alarm and suppression systems, and back-up diesel generated electrical power.

The TSC is located within the Protected Area on the ground floor of the Operations and Maintenance Building. The TSC provides facilities near the Control Room for technical, engineering and management support of operations personnel during emergency conditions. It also permits direct Interface of-management personnel with the plant operators, if necessary.

The TSC has a large working area with space sufficient to accommodate the pre-designated TSC staff. The TSC is also able to accommodate seven (7) NRC representatives. Working areas are available and a desk has been provided for NRC use. The TSC is the primary communications link between the Control Room and the EOF. It also acts as an onsite communications center for the plant during an emergency.

A subset of the TSC is the Engineering Support/Technical Assessment Group (TAG). This group is made up of personnel from the Nuclear Engineering Staff. Specific personnel assignments are determined at the time of the emergency by the TSC Supervisor and the Engineering Support/Technical Assessment Group Coordinator based on the type of incident occurring at the Station.

H-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The OSC is located on the ground floor of the Operations and Maintenance Building next to the TSC. The OSC is an onsite assembly area separated from the Control Room and the TSC where pre-designated support personnel report in an emergency. All personnel dispatched into the Plant in an emergency are coordinated through the OSC after its activation. Response teams dispatched from the OSC include Post Accident Sampling Teams, Radiological Protection Re-entry Teams, Damage Control Teams, Maintenance personnel, search and rescue, and Emergency Medical personnel.

2. Emergency Operations Facility (EOFR: PNPS has established an Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) in the basement of the Plymouth County Sheriffs facility on the grounds of the Plymouth County House of Correction in Plymouth, Massachusetts approximately four (4) miles west of PNPS. The building Is shielded and equipped with a filtered ventilation system and backup electrical supply system. The EOF is the central facility for the evaluation and coordination of all licensee activities in response to an emergency.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

a. PNPS has two meteorological towers equipped with instrumentation for continuous reading of wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and difference in air temperature (160' to 33' and 220' to 33'). PNPS has the indirect capability of locally monitoring hydrological data by use of instrumentation installed on process water systems.

Seismic monitors are located throughout the plant, data from these monitors is recorded in the Control Room.

b. Installed radiological monitors indicate the status of the plant and any radiological release that may have occurred. The Control Room is equipped with plant radiation monitoring instrumentation for use In both normal and emergency conditions. The Containment High Radiation Monitoring System is designed to measure post-accident radiation levels in the drywell and the torus during accident conditions. The range of these monitors is 1 to 1.0E+7 R/hr. The Main Stack, the Reactor Building Exhaust Ventilation and the Turbine Building are equipped with high range radiation monitoring systems designed to measure elevated radiation levels.

A Post-Accident Sampling System (PASS) provides a mechanism to monitor the Integrity of the reactor fuel and cladding during and following an accident. The PASS, through the appropriate valve lineup, Is capable of drawing gas and liquid samples from the primary containment system (i.e., reactor, the drywell and the torus) and secondary containment air samples.

PASS samples provide information on reactor core integrity; the types and quantities of fission products released into the primary containment environment; the reactor coolant chemistry and the hydrogen concentration In the containment. The samples can be collected without incurring excessive radiation exposures to any Individual. Samples are obtained at a shielded sampling station and diluted as necessary. Portable shielding is also provided to reduce anticipated radiation dose rates.

c. The Control Room and applicable redundant backup locations are equipped with extensive plant process monitors for use in both normal and emergency conditions.

These indications Include but are not limited to reactor coolant system pressure and temperature, containment pressure and temperature, liquid levels, flow rates, status or lineup of equipment components. This Instrumentation provides the basis for initiation of corrective actions.

H-12 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section 1: Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), diligent accident assessment efforts are required throughout the emergency. All four emergency classifications have similar assessment methods, however, each classification requires a greater magnitude of assessment effort dependent upon the plant symptoms and/or initiating event(s).

1. Plant Parameters and Corresponding Emergency Classification
  • Plant system and effluent parameter values are utilized in the determination of accident severity and subsequent emergency classification. Environmental and meteorological events are also determining factors in emergency classification.
  • An emergency condition can be the result of just one parameter or condition change, or the combination of several. The specific symptoms, parameter values or events for each level of emergency classification are detailed In the PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
  • In order to adequately assess the emergency condition, each emergency facility has the necessary equipment and Instrumentation installed to make available essential plant information on a continuous basis. The detailed instrumentation and equipment capabilities available for each emergency4acility are described in Section H of the PNPS Emergency Plan.
2. Onsite Accident Assessment Capabilities
  • Post Accident Samglina System - The Post Accident Sampling System (PASS) allows for the remote sampling and analysis of containment and drywell gas, and reactor and torus liquid. The-results of the PASS sample are decay and volume corrected and then utilized to determine fuel and cladding integrity. Once the amount of core damage is determined, the total curie inventory available can be ascertained. The inventory available can be determined for any estimated amount of core damage, since there is a finite number of curies available for release to the coolant.
  • Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors - PNPS has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of In-plant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PRM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow In-plant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring local hand-held meter surveys.

This information may be used, Initially, to aid In the determination of plant area accessibility. The Process Radiation Monitors provide an immediate indication of a radiological release of effluents. The PRM readings can be used as an input into the Dose Assessment and Protective Action Recommendation (DAPAR) computer code which displays the projected whole body and thyroid exposures to the populace in the plume exposure pathway.

1-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Containment Radiation Monitors - Containment High Range Radiation Monitors (CHRMS) can be provided as an early indicator of core damage. The monitor readings are utilized as an altemate method for core damage determination. This is accomplished through use of established graphs. The core damage estimate obtained from the nomograms may also be used to confirm the core damage results obtained through use of the PASS system. High range monitors for both the drywell and torus allow for the evaluation of a potential radiological release.
3. Release Source Term Determination
a. The potential for release of radioactive material and the magnitude of the release can be assessed through use of the Containment High Range Monitoring System (CHRMS) and Process Monitors. The Containment High Range Monitoring System readings can be used to estimate the percentage of core damage and establish the total number of curies available for release.
b. If a liquid or gaseous release occurs, the routine or high range process monitors will indicate the release rate in counts per second or Roentgens per hour. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.

Routine and high range monitors are located on the Main Stack and the Reactor Building. A high range monitor is located in the Turbine Building. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use of the Dose Assessment and Protective Action Recommendation (DAPAR) computer code.

4. Effluent Monitor Data and DAPAR: The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates Is accomplished through use of the Dose Assessment and Protective Action Recommendation (DAPAR) computer code. DAPAR Is a computer code which allows for the direct input of effluent monitor and meteorological data. The computer will generate release rates, projected dose rates and doses to the whole body and thyroid as well as downwind halogen and particulate concentrations via the plume exposure pathway. Dose projections may also be performed without the use of a computer through a series of hand calculations.
5. Meteorological Information: Meteorological data are available from two meteorological towers, a 220 foot primary and a 160 foot back-up. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and delta temperature. These data are utilized by the utility, Commonwealth and NRC to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion.

Meteorological data from the 220 foot tower Is available to the Control Room, the Technical Support Center SPDS, and Emergency Operations Facility SPDS. Meteorological data Is available from the 160 foot tower via local readout.

6. Unmonitored Release: If during an actual release, via an unmonitored flow path or In situations In which effluent monitors are either off-scale or inoperative, dose projections can be made through use of actual sample data.

1-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Field Monitoring: In the event of an airborne or liquid release, PNPS maintains the resources and capabilities to take air, soil, water, and vegetation samples as well as to directly measure gamma dose rates. Samples are taken at locations specified by the Oftsite Radiological Supervisor. Environmental measurements are utilized as an aid in the determination of protective and recovery actions for the general public.
8. Radiation Monitoring Teams: Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs) are available at an Alert or higher classification to make rapid assessments of the actual or potential magnitude and location of any radiological hazards from the liquid or gaseous release pathways. RMTs are composed of two Individuals, at least one of whom is a qualified Radiation Protection technician.

RMTs establish and maintain direct radio communications with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The teams are controlled by the Radiation Laboratory and Monitoring Team Coordinator in the EOF. The RMTs locate and monitor the radioactive plume while taking air samples as directed.

Survey data from RMTs are used to define affected areas, verify or modify dose projections and protective action recommendations, and assess the extent and significance of a release.

9. Iodine Monitoring: RMTs collect air samples while in the plume exposure pathway. The teams carry procedures and equipment for sampling and measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1.OE-7 micro curies per cubic centimeter in the presence of noble gases.
10. Dose Estimates:' Specific procedures exist for the correlation of air activity levels to dose rate for key isotopes. Provisions have been established for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actua1dose rates and for the comparison of these estimates with the protective action guides.
11. Commonwealth Monitoring Capabilities: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has the ability to dispatch its own field monitoring teams to track the airborne radioactive plume.

The Commonwealth also has the ability and resources to Interpret radiological data as well as coordinating with federal and utility monitoring teams to compare sample results.

1-3 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section J: Protective Response Protective response consists of emergency actions, taken during or after an emergency situation, which are intended to minimize or eliminate hazards to the health and safety of the public and/or Station personnel. A range of protective actions has been developed for emergency workers and the general public In the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Additionally, guidelines have been established to aid in choosing protective actions during an emergency that are consistent with federal guidance. PNPS is responsible for onsite actions, while the responsibility for offsite actions rests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, local authorities and other offsite response agencies.

1. Notification of Onsite Personnel: For all emergency classifications, all personnel within the Protected Area are notified of the declaration, escalation or termination of an emergency by alarms and verbal announcements over the Station Public Address System (Gai-tronics).

Announcements include the emergency classification and response actions to be taken by site personnel.

Upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification, if open, public access areas are closed and persons advised, by dispatching a security officer(s) to evacuate those areas.

2. Evacuation Locations: If Protected Area evacuation is required, personnel are directed to evacuate to an assembly area. The Support Building cafeteria is designated as the primary assembly area. Should conditions warrant, personnel may be directed to evacuate via personal automobiles to the alternate assembly area, the Chiltonville Training Center. The assembly area Is chosen on the basis of wind direction. Visitors to the station assemble with their escorts.
3. Radiological Monitoring: In the event of Protected Area evacuation, radiation protection personnel are dispatched to the designated assembly area, to provide radiological monitoring and, ifinecessary, decontamination of evacuees.
4. Evacuation: Evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments. Contractors who do not have emergency responsibilities, visitors, and handicapped personnel are evacuated immediately at the Alert or higher classification.

Evacuation of non-essential PNPS personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The shorefront recreation area Is closed at the declaration of an Alert or higher classification, and visitors asked to leave.

5. Accountability: At the declaration of Site Area Emergency, all non-essential personnel are evacuated. All individuals onsite are accounted for and the names of missing individuals are ascertained within 30 minutes of the Initiation of accountability. Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event.

Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated.

Accountability is coordinated by the Emergency Security Supervisor and the results forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager.

J-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel: PNPS maintains an inventory of respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, and radioprotective drugs which are made available to emergency workers remaining onsite should conditions warrant.
a. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) are used as the primary method of respiratory protection in an emergency. Emergency response personnel use SCBAs in any environment involving exposure to high level gaseous activity or oxygen deficient atmosphere, or where air quality is in doubt. In the presence of airborne particulates, emergency response personnel may be directed by radiation protection personnel to use full-face filter type respirators.
b. Anti-contamination clothing, located in the Operations Support Center (OSC) lockers and dress out area, is available for use by onsite re-entry personnel.
c. Procedures are In place for the use of thyroid-blocking agents by emergency response personnel. Administration of such agents may be authorized only by the Emergency Director or by the Emergency Plant Manager when authority has been delegated by the Emergency Director.
7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public: Plant conditions, projected doses, and/or field monitoring data are evaluated to develop protective action recommendations for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to the general public. Protective action recommendations for the plume exposure pathway are based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R-92-001 - "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents' and the NRCIFEMIA guidance in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP t Criteria for Protective Action Recommendations for Severe Accidents."

Protective:action recommendations are made directly to the Commonwealth agencies who are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. Protective action recommendations are made by the Emergency Director to MEMA, through the MDPH EOF Liaison. In an emergency which requires immediate protective actions be taken prior to activation of emergency facilities, notification is given by the Emergency Director in the Control Room directly to the Commonwealth, EPZ, and reception communities via the DNN network.

The possible Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) issued by PNPS at a General Emergency include:

  • At a minimum, based on plant conditions, evacuation of the 2 mile ring and 5 miles downwind of the affected EPZ sub-areas along with sheltering of all other EPZ sub-areas and considering the administration of potassium Iodide (KI) for the general public will be recommended; or J-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN If plant conditions indicate that substantial core damage is imminent or has occurred and a significant emergency release of reactor coolant Into the containment is imminent or has occurred and containment failure is imminent or has occurred, then evacuation of the five (5) mile ring and ten (10) miles downwind of the affected EPZ sub-areas along with sheltering of all other EPZ sub-areas and considering the administration of potassium iodide (KI) for the general public will be recommended.

In addition to the plant-condition PARs, off-site dose projections will be used to determine whether plant-condition PARs are adequate. This will include evaluating the off-site dose projection results in accordance with the threshold for dose-based evacuation PARs. Table J-1 summarizes the PNPS PARs for the general public based on projected dose to the population-at-risk.

8. Evacuation Time Estimates: An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, by subarea, of the time required to evacuate resident and transient populations surrounding Pilgrim Station under favorable and adverse conditions (see Appendix 5). These evacuation time estimates are used to determine an exposure period for the calculation of dose projections.
9. Protective Measure Implementation: The responsibility for implementing protective measures based on protective action guides rests with Commonwealth and local agencies.
10. Factors Affecting Protective Measure Implementation The PNPS, Commonwealth, and local emergency plans used V Implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
a. Wlost of the evacuating population will travel Intheir own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Figures J-1 through J-5 are maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation subareas, reception centers in host areas, and mass care shelters. Pre-selected sampling and monitoring points are presented in Table J-2.
b. The population distribution around Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is presented In the Evacuation Time Estimate, Appendix 5.
c. As indicated in Section 7, offsite agencies are notified in the event the Emergency Plan is activated. Commonwealth and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure EPZ.
d. Means for protecting those persons whose mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures
e. Provisions for the use of radioprotective drugs, particularly for emergency workers and Institutionalized persons within the plume exposure EPZ whose immediate evacuation may be infeasible or very difficult, Including quantities, storage, and means of distribution are described In Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.

J-3 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

f. Commonwealth and local plans Include the method by which decisions are made by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for administering radioprotective drugs to emergency workers and the general public.
g. Means of relocation of the general public are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
h. Relocation centers in host areas which are at least 5 miles, and preferably 10 miles, beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure emergency planning zone are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.

I. Projected traffic capacities of evacuation routes under emergency conditions are described in Appendix 5, the Evacuation Time Estimate.

j. Control of access to evacuated areas and organization responsibilities for such control are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures and in Appendix 5, the evacuation time estimate.
k. Identification of and means for dealing with potential impediments to use of evacuation routes, (e.g., seasonal Impassability of roads) and contingency measures are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures I. Time estimates for evacuation of various sectors and distances based on a dynamic analysis (time-motion study under various conditions) for the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone have been performed and are contained in Appendix 5, the Evacuation Time Estimate.
m. The basis for dose driven protective action recommendations are as follows:
  • If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs evacuation is considered for affected subareas and sheltering is considered for remaining subareas.
  • PNPS personnel normally do not have the necessary information to determine whether off site conditions would require sheltering instead of an evacuation. An effort to base Protective Action Recommendations on external factors (such as road conditions, traffictraffic control, weather or offsite emergency response capabilities) is usually performed by the Commonwealth.
11. Ingestion Pathway Protective Measures: The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
12. Monitoring of Evacuees: The Commonwealth and local organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers. This capability includes personnel and equipment capable of monitoring residents and transients evacuating from the plume exposure EPZ and arriving at the reception centers, In accordance with FEMA guidelines.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section K: Radiological Exposure Control This section of the plan describes the means for controlling emergency worker radiological exposures during an emergency, as well as the measures that are used by PNPS to provide necessary assistance to persons Injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive materials.

Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides, EPA 400-R-92-001.

1. Emergency Exposure Guidelines: Radiation exposure In an emergency is controlled, taking every reasonable effort to minimize exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of the EPA-400 general activities limit (5 Rem). Situations in which actions are taken to save vital equipment or property, circumvent substantial exposure to the general public or to save a life are examples of conditions which may necessitate extended emergency exposure authorization. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency worker activities:

Dose Limit* ActvItv Conditldns 5 All 10 Protecting valuable property. Lower dose not practical.

25 Life saving or protection of large Lower dose not practical.

populations.

>25 Life saving or protection of large Only on a voluntary basis to populations. persons fully aware of the risks involved.

  • EPA TEDE values for non-pregnant adults from exposure and intake during an emergency situation in Rem. Workers performing services during emergencies should limit dose to the eyes to three times the listed value and dose to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to ten times the listed value.
2. Emergency Radiation Protection Program: The Radiological Supervisors ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergencies, that exposure accountability is maintained and that personnel are not sent into known or potential high radiation areas (radiation, contamination or airborne) without adequate protection and exposure controls.

Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the facility is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize personnel exposures.

Assembly areas (or alternate assembly areas) are established to relocate and monitor evacuated personnel.

K-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The authority to allow radiation exposure above the EPA-400 limits is held by the Emergency Director through recommendations from the Onsite Radiological Supervisor for onsite ERO personnel and the Offsite Radiological Supervisor for offsite (outside the protected area) ERO personnel. The responsibility for authorization of extended exposures for onsite ERO personnel may be delegated to the Emergency Plant Manager but may not be delegated further.

In any emergency response action requiring greater exposure than 10CFR20 limits, volunteers over forty-five years of age are considered first. Females of childbearing age shall not be permitted to receive exposures in excess of 10CFR20 limits.

Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Onsite or Offsite Radiological Supervisor. Prior to entry into a suspected high radiation area, the individual's current year exposure Is evaluated based upon previous thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings, and self-indicating dosimeter estimates since the last TLD reading.

3. Personnel Monitoring
a. A TLD badge is issued to all emergency response personnel in the protected area. All Level 11GET responders are badged every work day; Level I GET responders are badged at their onsite emergency facilities upon activation. This, in addition to both low and high range self-indicating dosimetry, Is used to monitor emergency workers exposure during an accident. The capability exists for the emergency processing of TLDs on a 24-hour per day basis, if necessary, through Framatome ANP DE&S.

Emergency workers are instructed to read self-indicating dosimeters frequently, and TLDs may be processed with Increased periodicity.

b. Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with Station Radiation Protection Procedures.
4. Non-PNPS Personnel Exposure Authorization: The responsibility for authorizing non-PNPS emergency workers (i.e. Commonwealth and local agency emergency workers) and visitors to receive exposures in excess of the EPA General Public Protective Action Guides rests with the Commonwealth and local organization, except when such emergency workers and visitors are onsite. Authorization of exposures in excess,of EPA General Public Protective Action Guides, in this latter instance, rests with the Emergency Director or the Emergency Plant Manager (when delegated by the Emergency Director).
5. Decontamination and First Aid
a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by the applicable Onsite or Offsite Radiological Supervisor should conditions warrant.

K-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

b. Decontamination materials and portable first-aid kits, stored in the Engineering and Support Building and Medical Building, are available. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination Is Initially treated by an on-shift EMT. Prompt attention is given to life endangering Injuries such as extensive burns, serious wounds or fractures, in preference to decontamination. If the injury permits, all reasonable effort is made to decontaminate the Individual prior to movement. If decontamination is impractical, the patient is covered In such a manner as to minimize the spread of contamination until medical aid can be obtained or the patient can be hospitalized.

The ambulance service contracted to the Plymouth Fire Department provides prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, Radiation Protection (RP) personnel accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance personnel.

Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the Jordan Hospital (primary) or to Morton Hospital (backup). Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. RP personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.

6. Contamination Control
a. Areas in the plant found to be contaminated are isolated as restricted areas with appropriate radiological protection and access control as directed by the Onsite Radiological Supervisor.
b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination from restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Emergency supplies of food and drinking water are stored in sealed containers to prevent contamination. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited In all Emergency Response facilities until such time as habitability surveys Indicate that such activities are permissible.
c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use when contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel: Non-essential onsite personnel and non-PNPS personnel are evacuated to the Engineering and Support Building cafeteria, as discussed in Section J, 'Protective Response". RP personnel at that location monitor evacuees and perform decontamination, as needed. Provisions for extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminants are available. If radiological or plant conditions warrant evacuation of onsite personnel to the offsite assembly area, Chiltonville Training Center will be used.

Radiation Protection personnel are dispatched to the assembly area to monitor for personnel contamination.

K-3 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section L: Medical and Public Health Support This section describes Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) arrangements for medical services for contaminated injured individuals sent from the Station.

1. Hospital Services: Jordan Hospital Is the primary care facility for treatment of contaminated injured persons, and evaluation of radiation exposure and radionuclide uptake. Jordan Hospital is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and five miles from PNPS.

Morton hospital, located in Taunton, Massachusetts is designated as a back-up to Jordan Hospital. This hospital is equipped and trained to handle contaminated injured individuals (See Appendix 3 for Sample Letters of Agreement.)

2. Onsite First Aid Capabilitv: Personnel Injuries involving possible radioactive contamination are initially treated by an on-shift EMP. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries in preference to decontamination. (See Section 0 for training requirements).
3. Medical Service Facilities: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintains a list of public, private and military hospitals and other emergency medical facilities considered capable of providing medical support for any contaminated injured individuals.
4. Medical Transportation: PNPS has arranged with a local ambulance service for transporting victims of radiological accidents to medical support facilities. This service is contracted through the Plymouth Fire Department and is continuously available. (See Appendix 3 for Sample Letters of Agreement).

L-1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section M: Reentry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for reentry into the areas of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) which have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the PNPS Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.

1. Reentry: During an emergency, immediate actions are directed toward limiting the consequences of the accident, so as to afford maximum protection to Station personnel and the general public. Once corrective measures have been taken and effective control of the plant has been re-established, a more methodical approach to reentry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides reentry Into two separate categories:
a. Plant damage control, mitigation, repair and rescue activities are conducted during the emergency phase of accident. This category of reentry is performed using emergency exposure controls and limits. Briefings for task activities and radiological controls may be provided verbally to dispatched personnel and documented afterwards. Procedures provided to dispatched personnel for emergency activities can be taken from existing plant documents or developed on a case basis for the task.

All personnel dispatched from the onsite emergency facilities are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager and coordinated through the Operations Support Center Supervisor, the assigned Team Coordinator and the Onsite Radiological Supervisor if necessary.

The following items are considered when planning the dispatch of personnel during an emergency:

  • Team composition which considers:
  • Previous non-emergency exposure for ALARA considerations.
  • Exposure accumulated during the course of the emergency.
  • Experience with the assigned task.
  • Familiarity with any existing procedures or processes.
  • Physical capacity to perform the task.
  • Nature of the task including applicable procedures if available.
  • Equipment, tools, Instrumentation and materials necessary for the task.
  • Physical location where the task is performed.
  • Safety precautions pertaining to both the task and to personnel.
  • Communications equipment, channels, backup and reporting expectations.

M-1I Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Any special instructions applicable to the task or evolution.
  • Radiological controls associated with the activity.
b. Plant control, restoration, repair and maintenance activities are conducted during the recovery phase of an accident. This category of reentry is performed using exposure controls based on 10 CFR 20 limits and normal PNPS levels. Either existing procedures or procedures developed specifically for the task (developed, reviewed and approved through the normal plant administrative control process) are utilized for all recovery activities.

All personnel dispatched Into hazardous areas, radiological or otherwise, during the recovery phase are authorized by the Recovery Plant Manager. The dispatch of personnel is coordinated through the applicable organizational structure (recovery or normal plant organization depending on the extent of the recovery).

2. Recovery: Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. The Emergency Director, with concurrence from the Emergency Offsite Manager and the Emergency Plant Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the Station is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:
  • Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? If so, does It appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
  • Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
  • The radioactive plume has dissipated and plume tracking Is no longer required. The only environmental assessment activities in progress are those necessary to assess the extent of deposition resulting from passage of the plume.
  • In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.

e The potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.

  • The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available.
  • Drywell pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
  • Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
  • All required notifications have been made.
  • Discussions have been held with Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
  • At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the Emergency Response Organization is In place and emergency facilities are activated.

M-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
  • Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.

It is not necessary that all conditions listed above be met; however, all items must be considered prior to entering the recovery phase. For example, it is possible after a severe accident that some conditions remain which exceeds an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.

Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the PNPS Recovery Organization is determined.

  • For events of a minor nature, (i.e. for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
  • For events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (i.e. for ALERT classifications) the PNPS Emergency Response Organization, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal Station organization.
  • For events involving major damage to systems required to maintain safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the PNPS Recovery and Corporate organization Is put in place.

The specific members of the PNPS Recovery organization are selected based on the sequence of events that preceded the recovery activities as well as the requirements of the recovery phase. The basic framework of the PNPS Recovery Organization is as follows:

a. The Recovery Director is charged with the responsibility for directing the activities of the PNPS Recovery organization. These responsibilities include:
  • Ensuring that sufficient personnel from PNPS and other organizations are available to support recovery.
  • Directing the development of a recovery plan and procedures.
  • Ensuring that adequate engineering activities to restore the plant, are properly reviewed and approved.
  • Deactivating any of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which was retained to aid in recovery, in the appropriate manner. Depending upon the type of accident and the onsite and offsite affects of the accident, portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization may remain in place after initiation of the recovery phase.
  • Coordinating the integration of available Federal and Commonwealth assistance into onsite recovery activities.
  • Coordinating the integration of PNPS support with Federal, Commonwealth and local authorities into required offsite recovery activities.

M-3 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Approving information released by the public information organization which pertains to the emergency or the recovery phase of the accident.
  • Determining when the recovery phase is terminated.

The Senior Nuclear Executive or a designated alternate is the Recovery Director.

b. The Recovery Plant Manaaer reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Coordinating the development and implementation of the recovery plan and procedures.
  • Directing all onsite activities in support of the recovery of PNPS.
  • Designating other PNPS recovery positions required in support of onsite recovery activities.

The Operations and Plant Manager or a designated alternate will become the Recovery Plant Manager.

c. The Recovery Offsite Manager reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Providing liaison with offsite agencies and coordinating PNPS assistance for offsite recovery activities.
  • Coordinating PNPS ingestion exposure pathway EPZ sampling activities and the development of an offsite accident analysis report.
  • Developing a radiological release report.
  • Designating other PNPS recovery positions required in support of offsite recovery activities.

A senior Nuclear Assessment Group Management individual or a designated altemte is the Recovery Offsite Manager.

d. The Company Spokesperson reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Functioning as the official spokesperson to the press for PNPS on all matters relating t6 the accident or recovery.
  • Coordinating non-PNPS public information groups (Federal, Commonwealth, local, etc.).
  • Coordinating media monitoring and rumor control.
  • Determining what public Information portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization will remain activated.

A senior PNPS management individual Is designated as the Company Spokesperson.

The remainder of the PNPS Recovery Organization is established and an initial recovery plan developed at the end of the emergency phase or just after entry Into the recovery phase. Consideration Is given to recovery activity needs and use of the normal PNPS organizations. Individual recovery supervisors may be designated in any or all of the following areas:

M-4 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Training
  • Radiation Protection

. Chemistry

  • Technical Support
  • Engineering Support
  • Quality Assurance
  • Operations
  • Security

. Maintenance

  • Special Offsite Areas (Community Representatives, Environmental Samples, Investigations, etc.)
3. Recovery Phase Notifications: When the decision Is made to enter the recovery phase, all members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization are informed of the change. All personnel in the PNPS Nuclear Organization are instructed of the PNPS Recovery Organization and their responsibilities to the recovery effort.
4. Total Population Exposure: A method has been developed for estimating the total population exposure resulting from the accident. Total population exposure calculations are performed during the recovery phase of an accident. Cumulative data are collected from PNPS Emergency Response Organization records and release pathway filter analyses to estimate the source term. Data are obtained from offsite agencies to estimate the total exposed population. Environmental TLDs will be analyzed to provide additional data.

M-5 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section N: Drill and Exercise ProQram This section describes the Drill and Exercise Program that PNPS has implemented to:

  • Develop, maintain and evaluate the capabilities of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization to respond to emergency conditions and safeguard the health and safety of Station personnel and the general public.
  • Identify deficiencies in the PNPS Emergency Plan and the associated procedures, or in the training of response personnel, and ensure that they are promptly corrected.
  • Ensure the continued adequacy of emergency facilities, supplies and equipment, including communications networks.
1. Exercises/Drills
a. Exercises are conducted biennially which involve implementation of the participants' emergency plan(s) and activation of major portions of participating emergency organizations. Where full participation by offsite agencies occurs, the sequence of events simulates an emergency that results In the release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis Is placed on development and conduct of an exercise that is more mechanistically and operationally realistic. Players will be able, by implementing appropriate procedures and corrective actions, to determine the outcome of the scenario to a greater extent than when core damage and the release of radioactivity are prerequisites for demonstration of all objectives.
b. Exercises/Drills provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions.

In accordance with the PNPS Six-Year DrilVExercise Plan, drills and exercises are conducted to ensure that all major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness

-program are demonstrated at least once In each six-year period. At least one drillexercise every six years is started off-hours. Drills/Exercises are scheduled to be conducted at different times of the year. An unannounced drill/exercise is included in the Six-Year Plan.

2. Specialized Drills: PNPS conducts specialized drills for the purpose of testing, developing and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders. The specialized drills may include, but are not limited to the following:
a. Communication Drills: Communications capabilities with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local emergency operating centers (Carver, Kingston, Duxbury, Marshfield, and Plymouth) are tested monthly.

Operability of communication equipment between PNPS and the State of Rhode Island are tested -quarterly.

NA1 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Communications between PNPS and the PNPS Radiological Monitoring Teams are tested annually.

Other communication checks/drills are conducted in accordance with 10CFR50, Appendix E.IV.E.

Each of these drills includes provisions to ensure that all participants in the test are able to understand the content of the messages (e.g. by requesting repeat-backs of information or verification of message transmittal forms).

b. Fire Drills: Drills for the PNPS Fire Brigade are conducted in accordance with Nuclear Organization and Station procedures.
c. Medical Emeraencv Drills: Medical emergency drills, involving an individual who is simulated to be injured and contaminated, are conducted at least annually.

d. Radiological Monitoring Team Drills: Radiological Monitoring Team (RMT) drills are conducted at least annually and include provisions for the collection and analysis of environmental sample media (e.g. water, snow, vegetation, soil, and air), and the monitoring of radiological conditions outside the PNPS Protected Area. These drills include provisions for communications and record keeping.
e. Health Phvsics Drills: At least semi-annually, drills are conducted which involve response to, and analysis of, simulated airborne and liquid samples with elevated levels of activity. These drills also involve direct measurements of radiation levels in the Station. Normal station health physics rules and procedures are followed.

At.least annually, drills are conducted which involve use of the Post-Accident Sampling System (PASS) to obtain fluid samples for use in assessing the extent of core/cladding damage. These drills Involve the simulated drawing and transport of a PASS sample and are scheduled so that each of the five potential sample points is tested at least once in each six year period.

f. Auamentation Drills: At least semi-annually, drills are conducted to test the ability to augment the on-shift organization. These drills are conducted using the following methods:
  • Activation of the Computerized Automated Notification system (CANS) with responders calling in their anticipated arrival times. The anticipated arrival times are then checked to confirm that the PNPS Emergency Response Organization could have been activated In a reasonable amount of time.
  • Activation of CANS, with actual response to Emergency Response Facilities.
g. Combined Functional Drills: Periodically, drills are conducted to test the interfacility coordination, communication, and operation among emergency facilities Including the EOF, TSC, OSC, Media Center, and Entergy Nuclear Northeast.

N-2 Revision 27

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

3. Conduct of Drills and Exercises: For each emergency preparedness exercise or drill conducted, a scenario package Is developed which Includes at least the following information:
  • The objectives to be demonstrated during the drill or exercise,
  • Evaluation criteria to be used in determining the success of the drill or exercise,
  • Date(s), time(s), and place(s) of postulated events,
  • Scope of the drill or exercise and list of participating organizations,
  • The simulated sequence of events and the estimated schedule for major events
  • A narrative summary which Includes at least the following information:

- Events that are postulated to occur

- Extent of simulation (e.g. will protective clothing be worn or simulated? Will offsite support be simulated? To what extent will the public information organization be exercised?)

- Briefing materials to be provided to official observers and Information on arrangements made for them.

Prior approval of appropriate PNPS management is obtained for all drills and exercises conducted in support of the Emergency Preparedness Program.

4. Criteria and Evaluation: At the conclusion of each drill or exercise, a critique is conducted to evaluate the ability of the participants to implement the PNPS emergency plan and procedures. For drills or exercises involving only partial participation by offsite agenciel, PNPS conducts a full, self-evaluation of activities; NRC representatives may be requested to observe these drills or exercises. For full participation exercises both the NRC and FEMA will observe and evaluate.
5. Resolution of Drill and Exercise Findings: The critique and evaluation process Is used to identify areas of the PNPS emergency preparedness program, which require Improvement.

The Nuclear Assessment Director or his designee Is responsible for evaluation of all recommendations and comments, and the determination regarding which of the Items is to be incorporated into the Emergency Preparedness Program. Items identified for incorporation will be tracked through resolution using the appropriate station action tracking system.
