7 Q. RIS 2002-21, 'National Guard and Other Emergency Responders Located in the Licensee's Controlled Area' 1.2 Purpose of HNP Emergency Plari and Implementing Procedures The purpose of the HNP Emergency Plan (E-Plan) and Implementing Procedures (Plant Emergency Procedures) is to assure that the state of on-site and off-site emergency preparedness provides reasonable assurance that adequate corrective and protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency at the plant. The HNP E-Plan and Implementing Procedures outline the Emergency Preparedness Program which has the following objectives:
A. Protection of plant personnel and the general public.
B. Prevention or mitigation of property damage.
C. Effective coordination of emergency activities among all organizations having a response role.
D. Early warning and clear instructions to the population-at-risk in the event of a serious radiological emergency.
E. Continued assessment of actual or potential consequences both on site and off site.
F. Effective and timely implementation of emergency measures.
G. Continued maintenance of an adequate state of emergency preparedness.
The HNP Emergency Preparedness Controlled Documents are contained in the HNP Plant Operating Manual (POM) and consist of the following parts:
- Volume 1, Part 2, Emergency Plan (PLP-201)
- Volume 2, Part 5, Plant Emergency Procedures (PEP)
- Volume 2, Part 10, Emergency Program Maintenance (EPM)
The Emergency Phone List, EPL-001, is an HNP document controlled outside the POM.
A list of documents which implement and maintain this plan can be found in Annex E.
Rev. 48 Page 8 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 8 of 124
1.3 Responsibility for Plan Development and Review Responsibility for the HNP Emergency Plan development, review, and periodic update is assigned to the Supervisor - Emergency Preparedness who serves as the HNP Emergency Planning Coordinator.
Procedures are in place to ensure changes to the Emergency Preparedness Program are evaluated to determine whether the changes do or do not decrease the effectiveness of the plan and the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E. Changes which do result in an evaluated decrease in program effectiveness will not be implemented without prior NRC approval.
1.4 Emergency Classes Off-normal plant conditions are classified according to four emergency classes which in order of increasing severity are Unusual Event; Alert; Site Area Emergency; and General Emergency. The emergency classes are defined in NUREG-0654, Appendix 1, as follows:
1.4.1 Unusual Event Unusual events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Unusual Event is equivalent to the NRC designated class 'Notification of Unusual Events."
1.4.2 Alert Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. The Alert class may correspond to failure or jeopardy of one Fission Product Barrier.
1.4.3 Site Area Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near site boundary.
The Site Area Emergency Class may correspond to failure or jeopardy of two Fission Product Barriers.
1.4.4 General Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off site for more than the immediate site area. The General Emergency class may correspond to failure or jeopardy of three Fission Product Barriers.
Events that could lead to any of these emergency classifications are described in Section 4.0, "`mergencyMeasures and Operations.'
Rev. 48 Page 9 of 124 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 9 of 124
1.5 Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs)
Severe Accident Management Guidelines are put into use when plant conditions are beyond design basis. The primary goal is to protect fission product barriers and mitigate any ongoing fission product releases, with secondary goals to mitigate severe accident phenomena and return the plant to a stable condition. The implementation of SAMGs invokes the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(x) and (y).
1.6 Plant Site Description The Harris Nuclear Plant (HNP) site is located in the extreme southwest comer of Wake County, North Carolina, approximately 16 miles southwest of Raleigh, which is the largest population center, and approximately 15 miles northeast of Sanford, North Carolina, in Lee County (See Figures 1.5-1 and 1.5-2). Approximate coordinates of the plant centerline are latitude 350 38' 01" N and longitude 780 57' 23" W. The Harris Nuclear Plant consists of one pressurized water reactor (PWR) of Westinghouse Corporation manufacture, licensed to operate at 2900 megawatts thermal (MWt). The associated net electrical output is approximately 900 megawatts electric (MWe). The major structures of HNP which contain radioactive materials are the Containment Building, Reactor Auxiliary Building, Fuel Handling Building, and the Waste Processing Building. Figure 1.5-3 shows the principle site buildings.
Figure 1.5-2 shows the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) and the location of the Harris Energy & Environmental Center (HE&EC) in which the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is located.
1.7 Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)
The Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is defined as the area within an approximate 10-mile radius of the HNP and is referred to as the 10-Mile EPZ.
Principal exposure sources from the plume exposure pathway are (a) external exposure to gamma and beta radiation from the plume and from deposited materials and (b) exposure of the internal organs to gamma and beta radiation from inhaled radioactive gases and/or radioactive particulates. The time of potential exposure can range in length from hours to days.
Figure 1.5-2 shows the Plume Exposure EPZ in relation to the location of HNP. The Plume Exposure EPZ includes portions of the North Carolina counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake. Annex H, attached, shows evacuation routes and local emergency planning zone boundaries in the 10-mile EPZ.
The prevailing winds around the plant are from the southwest.
Rev. 48 Page 10 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 10 of 124
1.8 Ingestion Exposure Emergency Planning Zone The Ingestion Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is defined as the area within KU an approximate 50-mile radius of the HNP and is referred to as the 50-Mile EPZ.
The ingestion exposure sources from the ingestion pathway are contaminated water or food, such as milk or fresh vegetables. The time of potential exposure can range in length from hours to months. The region within a 50-mile radius of the HNP site contains both urban and rural areas with industry, farming, business, education, research, and military interests. Figure 1.5-1 shows the 50-mile Ingestion Exposure EPZ in relation to the location of the Shearon Harris Plant. The Ingestion Exposure EPZ includes the North Carolina counties of Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Cumberland, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Guilford, Hamett, Hoke, Johnston, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Nash, Orange, Person, Randolph, Robeson, Sampson, Vance, Wake, Wayne and Wilson.
1.9 Demographic Information The distribution of resident population in the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone is presented in Table 1.8-1 and Figure 1.8-1. Special facilities within the Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone are depicted in Figure 1.8-2 and Table 1.8-3. The 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone evacuation time estimates are provided in Table 1.8-2.

'_MML!~ %T0 A D JEPO.-fi IJJEI I 2.1 General There are requirements for actions in an emergency that go beyond those encountered 2 during routine operations. To meet these additional demands and provide an effective response to the emergency, the HNP Emergency Plan employs an organizational concept that has four features.
A. Whenever the Plan is activated, a single individual is charged with the responsibility for and the authority to direct all actions necessary to respond to the emergency.
B. The primary responsibility of the individual in charge is to assure that all emergency response functions are carried out. Upon activation of the Plan, this individual is freed of all other responsibilities and thus able to focus on managing the emergency response.
C. Specific individuals are assigned the responsibility of carrying out predefined critical actions and emergency measures.
D. There is a mechanism established to provide additional resources as necessary to respond to the emergency, which provides continuity of response on each critical action.
This concept of organization is compatible with and integrated into the normal mode of operation. The shift operating crew is routinely required to correct minor malfunctions of equipment and to diagnose the consequences of radioactivity releases. There are a number of procedures to guide operators in responding to equipment malfunctions and instrument alarms. There are also procedures to maintain effective control over contamination and radiation exposures. Emergency procedures basically involve an extension of these existing plant procedures.
2.2 Emergency Organization The emergency response resources available to respond to an emergency consist of the personnel at the plant, at Corporate Headquarters, at other Company nuclear plants, the Harris Energy & Environmental Center and, in the longer term, at other organizations involved in the nuclear industry. Throughout Progress Energy there exists a staff of well-trained and experienced engineers, scientists, and technicians. These personnel represent a pool of technical expertise that can be called upon to provide additional support to the corporate emergency response and recovery organizations, if required. Corporate emergency response personnel do not receive specific training for emergency response and do not take actions which implement this emergency plan.
The plant Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is composed of a broad spectrum of personnel with specialties in operations, maintenance, engineering, radiochemistry, health physics, material control, fire protection, security, and emergency planning. The greatest numbers of personnel with these specialties are available during day shift operations; however, needed specialists can be recalled to the site at any time.
Rev. 48 Page 20 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 20 of 124
The first line of defense in responding to an emergency lies with the normal on-duty operating shift when the emergency begins. Shift members are assigned defined emergency response roles, as shown in Table 2.2-1 that are to be assumed whenever an emergency is declared. As additional personnel are called in to the plant, a smooth transition occurs since each individual knows ahead of time what their responsibilities will be. A current call list of ERO members is maintained in the Main Control Room and procedures are available to activate the ERO automatically or manually.
The Company is committed to providing staffing to effectively contain any emergency which might occur at its nuclear facilities. Depending on the emergency at hand, personnel with required expertise will be contacted on a priority basis as shown in Table 2.2-1. Additional personnel will be available to provide communications, on-site and off-site radiological assessment, repair and corrective actions, and technical support within a short period of time. Depending on weather conditions, 30-45 minutes should provide enough time to make the appropriate staff available to augment the plant on-shift organization. The plant ERO will continue to be augmented such that within 60-75 minutes after notification, additional personnel will be added to provide the necessary support. Additional personnel will continue to supplement the on-site ERO as necessary to meet the requirements of this Plan.
The fully augmented on-site ERO is shown in Figure 2.2-1 and personnel assignments are provided in Table 2.2-1 and/or procedures. The on-site ERO utilizes the basic plant organization structure as the principle guideline in emergency assignments. This philosophy assures whenever possible, that personnel will be performing emergency functions that are similar to their normal operating duties. Each emergency position has a succession of command from assigned, trained altemates.
2.3 Command and Control The position of Site Emergency Coordinator is activated for command and control purposes upon declaration of an emergency. Until relieved by the Emergency Response Manager, the Site Emergency Coordinator is delegated the authority to act on behalf of the Company to manage and direct all emergency operations involving the facility. Upon activation of the Emergency Operations Facility, the Emergency Response Manager assumes responsibility of overall emergency response and performs those requirements for all off-site related activities. The Site Emergency Coordinator maintains overall on-site emergency responsibilities including emergency classification and, after EOF activation, reports to the Emergency Response Manager.
The Superintendent - Shift Operations on duty at the time the emergency is declared shall initially assume the position of Site Emergency Coordinator from the Main Control Room.
The following conditions for command and control apply:
A. If the Site Emergency Coordinator becomes incapacitated for any reason, a designated alternate shall assume the position of Site Emergency Coordinator.
B. Once the Technical Support Center is activated the position of Site Emergency Coordinator is transferred from the Main Control Room to a qualified individual in the TSC.
Rev. 48 Page 21 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 21 of 124
C. The Site Emergency Coordinator, or Emergency Response Manager after the EOF is activated, may not delegate the responsibility for notification of and making recommendations to authorities responsible for off-site measures.
D. The Site-Emergency Coordinator may consult with others, but may not delegate the responsibility to determine the appropriate emergency action level for the conditions.
E. The Site Emergency Coordinator is authorized to request Federal and State assistance until the EOF is activated, whereupon such requests are made under the direction of the Emergency Response Manager.

Different groups within the Emergency Response Organization are provided with a location from where they may direct or perform the activities for which they are responsible while providing for coordination of activities with other organizations.
Adequate emergency facilities, communications, and equipment to support emergency response are provided and maintained. Progress Energy Emergency Plans include provision for emergency response facilities as follows:
- Main Control Room (MCR)
- Operations Support Center (OSC)
- Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)
- Joint Information Center (JIC)
The Main Control Room is an emergency response facility that is operational on a day-to-day basis. Initially the emergency actions and in plant response would be directed by the Site Emergency Coordinator from the Main Control Room. Operations personnel would be dispatched from their work area located immediately north of the Main Control Room with assistance from on-shift health physics, maintenance, and security personnel as needed.
The facilities, other than the Main Control Room, are unmanned or used for other purposes on a day-to-day basis. In the event of an emergency, the TSC, OSC, EOF, and JIC would be activated in accordance with Section 4 of this Plan, "Emergency Measures and Operations.'
In addition to the emergency response facilities, provision is made for on-site and off-site geophysical phenomena monitors (meteorological and seismic); radiological monitors; process monitors; and fire and combustion products detectors for use in initiating emergency measures and assessing the emergency. Each of these is described in subsequent paragraphs of this Chapter. Typical emergency supplies available for emergency facilities are indicated in Table 3.1-1.

of emergency declarations at the plant. The system provides instructions for activation of the on-site emergency facilities and the near site Emergency Operations Facility.
Provisions are provided for remote activation of the system via telephone lines and for password protection from unauthorized use of the system.
3.9 Assessment Equipment Use of the equipment described in this section during an emergency is detailed in Plant Procedures.
3.9.1 Emergency Response Facilities Information System (ERFIS) and Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS)
ERFIS receives raw data from sensors in the field and processes the data to provide meaningful information for the user. The ERFIS system consists of the following major parts: Field input multiplexer, ERFIS Host Computer, Plant Process Network, Plant Server, and ERFIS-EDS personal computer work-stations. ERFIS-EDS work-stations are located in the Main Control Room, Technical Support Center (TSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the ERFIS Computer Room. Some designated work-stations will have the capability to access the Site Business Local Area Network (LAN) when not in ERFIS-EDS mode. The TSC and EOF work-stations can be configured to run from the Simulator during drills and exercises.
The field input multiplexer obtains analog, digital, and sequence-of-events inputs from field sensors. The ERFIS Host receives these inputs, converts the raw analog inputs to engineering units, and updates the Current Value Table (CVT) at rates of 0.1 to 30 seconds. Processing consists of alarming points that exceed predefined limits, archiving input data, and performing various calculations and reports on a periodic or on-demand basis.
The ERFIS-EDS Plant Servers contain a copy of the CVT that is updated over shared memory with the ERFIS Host. The ERFIS-EDS work-stations are connected to the servers via dedicated Ethernet LANs. The work-stations communicate with the server in EDS Mode or over a serial link to the ERFIS Host in Emulation Mode. User functions use one of these two methods of communication. EDS tasks are those that run on the local work-station and get CVT data from the server. Emulation tasks use serial communication with the ERFIS Host and receive the entire display over the serial link.
There is a Primary and Backup ERFIS Host computer and a Primary and Backup ERFIS-EDS Plant Server. When a failure occurs on a primary system, an automatic failover occurs to the backup system. Failover of the ERFIS Host and ERFIS-EDS Server occur independently of each other.
The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) is a software subsystem of the ERFIS.
The SPDS consists of a top-level display showing the status of Critical Safety Function Parameters at all times and a general display area for a summary display, graphic display of status trees, or plots of key parameters. An assigned SPDS display is provided in the Main Control Room and ERFIS terminals in any location can display SPDS.
The SPDS will access all -available signals and will display information related to:
A. Subcriticality PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 45 of 124
B. Core Cooling C. Heat Sink D. (Reactor Vessel) Integrity E. Containment F. (Reactor Coolant System) Inventory Secondary displays will consist of graphic representations of the above critical safety functions and their status.
Additional detail and design criteria for the SPDS are provided in Item l.D.2 of the FSAR TMI Appendix.
3.9.2 Seismic and Hydrological Data HNP has two distinct and separate seismic monitoring systems for the site. A seismic monitoring system, described in Section 3.7.4 of the FSAR and PLP-1 14, is located inside safety-related structures and measures horizontal and vertical acceleration. A second system, consisting of two free field strong motion detectors, is located at points on-site and must be read locally at each location. The recorded analog signal can be put on tape playback in the Main Control Room.
Offsite seismic monitoring information can be obtained from the United States Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center.
The design basis flood, probable maximum precipitation, and other improbable, conceivable extremes in hydrologic natural phenomena are well below any design limits for this site. Refer to FSAR Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3.
3.9.3 Radiological Monitoring The Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) is a plant-wide radiation information gathering and control system encompassing the process and effluent monitors and the area and airborne monitors. Radiological monitors are provided for plant systems as described in the FSAR Sections 11.5 and 12.3.4 Effluent radiological monitors are provided for
- Plant Vent Stacks
- Turbine Building Drains
- Tank Area Drain Transfer Pumps
- Treated Laundry and Hot Shower Tank Pumps
- Secondary Waste Sample Tank
- Main Steam Lines Page 46 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Rev. 48 Page 46 of 124
The types, ranges, and locations of monitors are listed in Tables 11.5.2-1, 11.5.2-2 and 12.3.4-1 of the FSAR.
Typical portable radiation monitors and laboratory equipment are described in Section 12.5 of the FSAR.
The locations of the normal off-site and on-site environmental monitoring stations and the location of the TLD monitoring stations are described in the Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual. Additional predetermined emergency off-site monitoring locations are contained in environmental monitoring procedures.
The Radiation Monitoring System, (RMS) provides the necessary activity or radiation levels required for determining source terms in dose projection procedures. The RMS is data linked to the ERFIS and radiation monitoring channel values are available in the TSC and EOF via ERFIS. The isotopic mix is based upon the mix discussed in NUREG-1741. Grab samples and on-site or off-site monitoring samples can then be analyzed to determine the true isotopic mix and the results used in the computerized dose projection software.
3.9.4 Normal and Post-Accident Sampling Systems The Primary Sampling System and the Secondary Sampling System are available to collect routine fluid and gaseous samples as described in FSAR 9.3.2.
The post-accident sampling system is designed to collect and analyze targeted fluid and gaseous samples under accident conditions. The system consists of two major components, the liquid sample system and the remote sample dilution panel, or RSDP.
The RSDP's purpose is to obtain containment atmosphere samples and it relies on the containment hydrogen monitoring system (FSAR 6.2.5) to be in service to provide a pathway for sample collection.
Samples results are one of several methods used to provide information in support of core damage and offsite dose assessment activities.
3.9.5 Meteorological Instrumentation The plant has a permanent meteorological monitoring station located within the exclusion area boundary for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and differential temperature for use in making off-site dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the Main Control Room, the TSC, and the EOF by means of a computer. Additional information on the on-site meteorological monitoring system can be found in Section 2.3.3 of the FSAR.
Progress Energy has the capability to access the National Weather Service on a 24-hour-per-day basis to provide backup should the on-site system fail. This backup source of meteorological data is the closest location which can provide reliable representative meteorological information.
Contracted weather services may be contacted during severe weather periods. They analyze national and local weather in order to provide localized weather forecasts for the System or for the HNP area as appropriate. The meteorologists can provide forecasts and current data reflecting conditions corresponding to their evaluation of weather data received from the National Weather Service and other sources. The NRC Rev. 48 Page 47 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 47 of 124
and State agencies may contact the weather service for appropriately formatted information and check meteorology data (current and forecasted) for the HNP area.
In the event that the on-site meteorological tower or monitoring instrumentation becomes inoperative and the meteorologists cannot be contacted, meteorological data may be obtained directly from the National Weather Service in Raleigh, North Carolina.
3.9.6 Field Monitoring Equipment Field monitoring equipment will have at least the capability to detect and measure radioiodine in the vicinity of the plant site as low as 1 x 10i7 PiGVcm 3. An individual exposed to this concentration for a period of one hour would receive an exposure of about 0.2 Rem or less, a value well below Protective Action Guideline (PAG) levels (See Section 4). A standard air sampler can collect about 0.03 giCi of 1-131 in 10 minutes at a concentration of 1 x 1e7 [CVcm3 , which can easily be measured by hand survey meters that utilize probes such as the HP-210. This is a simple test that can serve as an initial check of projected releases based on plant data and can confirm that significant quantities of elemental iodine have been released (the chemical form that would pose a health hazard). More detailed measurements (such as, Sodium Iodide scintillation counters) can be brought into service to provide the longer term higher capabilities to detect and measure very low levels of contamination in the environment, as would be planned for subsequent radiation monitoring efforts.
3.9.7 Laboratory Facilities Support of the on-site radiation monitoring and analysis effort is provided by HNP's chemistry and counting room facility. This laboratory is the central point for receipt and analysis of in-plant samples and includes equipment for chemical and radioactive analyses. Section 12.5 of the FSAR provides information on laboratory facilities.
Additional facilities for counting and analyzing HNP samples can be provided by the H.B. Robinson Nuclear Plant and the Brunswick Nuclear Plant. These laboratories can act as backup facilities in the event that the plant's counting room and laboratory become unusable during an emergency.
Support of the off-site environmental radiation monitoring and analysis effort is provided by the N.C. Radiation Protection Section's laboratory facility, both mobile and fixed and the HE&EC's chemistry and counting room facility. The State's laboratories are the central point for receipt and analysis of off-site samples when HNP is acting as a support agency to the State for ingestion pathway functions. Each lab includes equipment for chemical analyses and for analysis of radioactivity.

.0 EM1-ES Execution of the HNP Emergency Plan involves a variety of functions including emergency classification, notification, activation, assessment, protective response actions, and recovery. Recovery is discussed in Section 6 of this Plan.
State and local governments and other agencies provide support in implementing the emergency measures in this section as shown in Table 4.0-1 and Annex G.
4.1 Emergency Classification The four classes of emergency are Unusual Event (equivalent to NRC Notification of Unusual Event), Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The operating staff is provided formal training to recognize off-normal plant conditions and categorize them within the parameters of the four emergency classes.
Emergency action levels are based upon the fission product barrier concept. The three barriers that protect the public from a release of radioactive fission products (fission product barriers) are the fuel cladding, the reactor coolant system boundary, and the containment. This concept has its basis in NUREG-0654, Appendix 1 where emergency events are found that correspond to failures or jeopardy of the three basic fission product barriers. The concept used is that if any one of the fission product barriers are in jeopardy or breached, an Alert will be declared. If any combinations of two barriers are either in jeopardy or breached, a Site Area Emergency is declared. If all three are in any combination of jeopardy or breach, a General Emergency is declared. The categorizations of events in NUREG-0654, Appendix 1 for Unusual Events are separately evaluated as they do not directly correspond with failure or jeopardy of a fission product barrier. In addition to looking at the status of fission product barriers, the emergency action levels include the NUREG-0654 emergency action level events that are external to the plant, (natural or man-made disaster phenomena), or are not directly attributable to the condition of the reactor, (shutdown systems, fire, dose projections).
The categorization of events according to one of the four emergency classes is implemented through the Emergency Action Level (EAL) system. The system is composed of two subsystems: The Unusual Event Action Level Matrix and the EAL Network/Flow Path. The Unusual Event Action Level Matrix provides a set of plant conditions and events which coincide with the conditions associated with the Unusual Event. The Unusual Event Action Level Matrix is presented at the bottom of Figure 4.1-2. For the upper three emergency classes, the Emergency Action Level (EAL) System uses an integrated set of flowchart instructions. As with the Unusual Event Action Levels, the EAL System also associates plant conditions and events with the three upper classes of emergency, but it does so through a symptomatic (vice diagnostic) methodology using critical safety function status trees.
This allows the EAL System to interface smoothly with the Emergency Operating Procedure (EOP) Network, thus assuring the rapid and correct classification of emergencies. Figures 4.1-1 and 4.1-2 are the flowcharts which together form the EAL Network. Abnormal Operating Procedures, Functional Restoration Procedures, End Path Procedures, and Flow Path Procedures contain specific direction for using the EAL Network whenever conditions warrant. A Plant Emergency Procedure provides the Unusual Event Action Levels, the EAL Network, the EAL Flow Path, as well as instructions for using them.
PLP-01 ev.48 Pge 0 o 12 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 50 of 124
The Site Emergency Coordinator (or the Superintendent-Shift Operations when no emergency has been declared) will declare any one of the four emergency classes where EALs have been exceeded, or in their judgment, the status of the plant warrants such a declaration.
4.2 Notification A. The warning message form to the State and Counties is contained in PEP-31 0 and provides information required by NUREG-0654, II.E.3 and 4. The form is approved by the Site Emergency Coordinator-MCR or Emergency Response Manager after EOF activation and provided to the appropriate Emergency Communicator (EC-Control Room or EC-State/County) as a message text.
B. The Emergency Communicator will use the electronic Notification Form on OSI soft/Plant Information System (OSI/PI) or the Selective Signaling System phone to simultaneously notify the 24-hour-per-day, manned, State Warning Point, State EOC and County Warning Points with the notification message.
Emergency Operations Centers will be notified upon activation at the State and Counties in lieu of the Warning Points. This message will be initiated to all Counties and the State within 15 minutes for all emergency classifications.
C. The North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of the Harris Nuclear Power Plant describes procedures for State and Local officials to make a public notification decision promptly (within about 15 minutes) on being informed by the plant of an emergency.
D. Event notifications to the NRC will be made as soon as possible and within one hour using a Reactor Plant Event Notification worksheet or other notification message approved by the SEC-CR/ERM.
E. Plant personnel designated on the Emergency Response Organization are notified of an emergency condition by the Emergency Communicator using a computer-based automated duty roster system and a system of pagers. These personnel are requested to be available on site to respond as directed by the Site Emergency Coordinator. During a Security Threat alternate assembly areas may be used to protect the responding ERO.
F. Personnel on site are notified by the Main Control Room using a plant Public-Address System announcement that an emergency has been declared and what actions should be taken.
G. Corporate personnel on the Emergency Response Organization will be notified of an emergency at HNP in accordance with plant emergency procedures.
H. The off-site agencies that will be notified of an emergency condition at HNP are shown in Tables 4.2-1 through 4.2-4.
I. Notifications to off-site agencies shall include a means of verification or authentication such as the use of dedicated communications networks, verification code words, or providing callback verification phone numbers.
Rev. 48 Page 51 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 51 of 124
4.3 Activation A. Facilities are to be activated for each emergency class in accordance with Tables 4.2-1 through 4.2-4. The facilities can be declared activated when minimum staffing levels (as specified in the implementing procedures) have been met.
B. The Communications Director will verify the readiness and operability of emergency facilities in the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Administrative and Logistics Manager will verify the readiness and operability of the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
C. The Emergency Repair Director will verify the readiness of the Operations Support Center.
D. The Company Spokesperson will verify the readiness of the Joint Information Center.
E. Security measures will be established for the Emergency Operations Facility upon its activation.
F. Personnel in the Emergency Response Organization will report to their preassigned locations in the emergency facilities.
4.4 Assessment Actions 4.4.1 Evaluation of Plant Conditions A. Evaluation of plant conditions by Operations personnel is accomplished through observation of the control boards, monitoring panels, ERFIS data displays, the SPDS displays, and information provided by the Accident Assessment Teams in the TSC and EOF.
B. The Accident Assessment Teams evaluate plant conditions by using ERFIS displays, damage assessment reports, seismic data, fire reports, dose projections, and monitoring data.
C. Core damage assessment methodology is applied by the TSC Accident Assessment Team utilizing data provided from the ERFIS, the Main Control Room, the Radiation Monitoring System, and the Chemistry Team.
4.4.2 Plant Radiological Monitoring A. The Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) will be used by Operations personnel and Radiological Control Team members to determine radiological conditions within the plant or abnormal radioactive effluents.
B. The Radiological Control Team will provide in-plant radiological measurements to supplement and confirm the RMS.
Rev. 48 Page 52 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 52 of 124
C. The Primary and Post-Accident Sampling is performed by the Chemistry Teams, to provide radiochemistry samples for analysis. The location for sampling is dependent on the anticipated radioactivity of the sample. Both the primary sample sink and the post accident sample panel may be used. Results of the samples will assist in the determination of core damage and dose assessment activities.
4.4.3 Dose Proiection A. Dose projections will be made to determine the off-site doses that might result from an accident and the possible need for protective action (see 4.5.1).
B. The dose projection capability on the computer can use source term data from the Radiation Monitoring System and meteorological data from the on-site meteorological station. This system will aid personnel in the Main Control Room or EOF in determining recommendations for protective action for the public.
C. Data from the Radiation Monitoring System that is used to determine the source term for dose projections is quality tagged. If the data is off-scale, then it is suspect or bad, and the effluent radiation levels must be determined by sampling at the radiation monitor test points. The results from analyzing the samples can be entered into the dose projection program as a substitute value.
D. Radionuclide mix assumptions (the accident source term) are contained in the computerized dose projection program as default values for use until actual sampling data can be substituted.
E. The National Weather Service and contracted weather sources will be contacted as needed to forecast atmospheric conditions affecting the site.
4.4.4 Environmental Monitoring A. Environmental sampling and monitoring points are specified in environmental monitoring procedures.
B. Environmental Monitoring Teams will be activated in accordance with Table 2.2-1 and the appropriate implementing procedures. Additional teams can be called upon for support as needed.
C. The Environmental Monitoring Teams will track the plume from any radiological release by monitoring radiation levels as indicated on radiological measuring instruments and by obtaining and analyzing air samples.
D. The Environmental Monitoring Teams will aid in assessing liquid release pathways by sampling liquid effluents, such as the cooling tower blowdown.
E. Additional TLDs will be placed at various locations near the site and be periodically replaced throughout an emergency to ensure that a cumulative dose record is obtained.
Rev. 48 Page 53 of 124 PLP-2011 PLP-20 Rev. 48 Page 53 of 124
4.5 Protective Actions for the Public 4.5.1 Protective Action Guides A. Exposure guidelines for the plume pathway are based on the Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R 001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" as follows:
IF: THEN:
Projected dose is: No actions are necessary.
< 5 Rem CDE Thyroid Projected dose is: Evacuate unless constraints make it
> 1 Rem TEDE impractical. Shelter as a minimum.
or 2 5 Rem CDE Thyroid B. Ifprojected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs and timely evacuation is practical, then evacuation is recommended. Iftimely evacuation is not practical then sheltering may be recommended.
- 1) HNP personnel normally do not have the necessary information to determine whether off site conditions would require sheltering instead of evacuation. An effort to base Protective Action Recommendations on external factors (such as road conditions, traffic/traffic control, weather or offsite emergency response capabilities) is usually performed by the State.
- 2) The State may consider sheltering for doses up to 5 Rem TEDE for hazardous environmental conditions, and for doses up to 10 Rem TEDE for special populations. Hazardous environmental conditions may include the presence of severe weather or competing disasters. Special populations may include institutionalized or infirm persons.
C. The State may consider the use of KI (potassium iodide) for doses equal to or greater that 5 REM CDE adult thyroid. This PAG dose trigger is referenced in the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Annex K -
RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTIVE DRUGS 4.5.2 Protective Action Recommendations (PARs)
A. Protective action guidelines for the plume pathway EPZ are based on NUREG-0654 Supplement 3, Criteria for Protective Action Recommendations for Severe Accidents.'
Page 54 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Rev. 48 Page 54 of 124
B. Plant conditions, projected dose and dose rates, and/or field monitoring data are evaluated to develop PARs for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to the general public. PARs are made to the State and County agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. PARs are approved by the Emergency Response Manager. In an emergency which requires immediate protective actions be taken prior to activation of the emergency facilities, notification approval is given by the SEC-CR directly to the State and County agencies.
C. Possible recommendations issued by HNP at a General Emergency include:
- 1) Evacuation of the general public within the two (2) mile radius and five (5) miles downwind. All other areas within the EPZ are sheltered (minimum PAR issued).
- 2) Evacuation of the general public within the five (5) mile radius and ten (10) miles downwind. All other areas within the EPZ are sheltered.
- 3) Consideration of the use of KI (potassium iodide).
4.5.3 Ingestion Pathway Protective Measures The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the State. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from exposure due to deposited radioactive materials and the consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
4.5.4 Public Alerting. Warning, and Notification Alerting, warning, and notification of the public are steps taken by government agencies to advise the public that protective actions are necessary. Alerting, warning, and notification will be provided by sounding sirens, activation of tone-activated radios within five miles of the plant, and supplemented by announcements made through radio and television (EAS), sound trucks, bullhoms, and knocking on doors. Patrol boats will be used in alerting people on Jordan Lake and Harris Lake in accordance the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in support of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Annex G. Supplemental sirens are provided for alerting boaters on Harris Lake.
Public warning when deemed necessary will be accomplished as described in the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. Preplanned emergency messages and emergency instructions have been prepared and included as Annex D to that plan.
Civil defense sirens mounted on 50-foot utility poles have been installed by Progress Energy at various locations within a 10-mile radius of the HNP.
Activation of the sirens for warning of the public will be accomplished from the county Warning Points or county Emergency Operations Centers: the Public Safety Communications Centers of Harrett and Lee Counties, the Emergency Operations Center of Chatham County, and the Raleigh Communications Center or the Emergency Operations Center for Wake County. The sirens in each county are independently controlled by radio. The outdoor warning system provides the capability for providing an alerting signal within the 10-mile EPZ, within 15 minutes from the time the decision is made to notify the public of an emergency situation. 0 PL-21Rv48Pg55o14 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 55 of 124
Activation of the tone alert radios by the National Weather Service will be accomplished after they receive a request from Wake County or the State of North Carolina. The tone alert radios provide an indoor alerting signal within a 5-mile radius of the plant.
4.6 Protective Actions for On-Site Personnel 4.6.1 On-Site Alerting. Waming, and Notification The Plant Public-Address (PA) System will be used to alert and notify on-site personnel of an emergency condition within 15 minutes. Security personnel with portable loudspeakers may be used to augment the PA system and/or check evacuation of outlying areas, as available. The Plant PA System has the capability to transmit recognizable alarms which will alert personnel of an emergency situation, and to transmit voice communications which will notify personnel of those actions which should be taken. The Plant PA System is supplemented by the use of the normal and emergency communication systems located on site as described in Section 3.8 of this Plan.
4.6.2 Evacuation and Personnel Accountability All personnel on-site will be accounted for within 30 minutes of the declaration of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency and continuously thereafter during the emergency (accountability may be accomplished at any time prior to the declaration of a Site Area Emergency, if deemed appropriate). Accountability may be delayed during a security event if the SEC (in consultation with Security) determines that performing accountability could be detrimental to the safety of plant personnel. If accountability is delayed, then accountability should be performed immediately when conditions warrant.
Personnel within the Protected Area will be accounted for and missing individual(s) will be identified by Security, Continuous accountability of personnel remaining inside the protected area will be maintained throughout the event. PEP-350 describes the accountability methodology. Search procedures will be implemented to locate unaccounted for persons.
Evacuation of on-site personnel can be accomplished, in accordance with PEP-350, for the Site or the Exclusion Area.
A. A Site Evacuation involves evacuation of all nonessential personnel within the Protected Area, Admin Building, parking lots, cooling tower area, sewage treatment plant, landfill, and intake structures. The site evacuation alarm will be sounded on the Plant PA system. Nonessential personnel (that is, personnel not on the ERO or assisting with the emergency) within the Protected Area will normally exit the Protected Area via the security building in accordance with normal Security procedures. Evacuating personnel may be monitored for contam'ination by the portal monitors as they exit the Protected Area or with portable friskers in the evacuation monitoring area, based on the situation. ERO personnel not assigned to emergency duties will travel to the HE&EC auditorium.
Personnel not on the ERO or assisting with the emergency shall depart the site using personal transportation and follow established evacuation routes.
Personnel without transportation will arrange for a ride from others who have space in their vehicles.
Rev. 48 Page 56 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 56 of 124
Nonessential personnel exiting the site will be directed to either proceed to their homes or if radiological conditions warrant, reassemble at a selected off-site assembly area until off-site monitoring and decontamination stations are in place. Personnel exiting evacuated areas will be monitored and decontaminated, if necessary, at county monitoring stations.
B. An Exclusion Area Evacuation involves evacuation of all nonessential personnel and the public within the Protected Area and the site, as well as the surrounding areas controlled by Progress Energy within the Exclusion Area Boundary. In addition to sounding the plant evacuation alarm, personnel in outlying areas can be notified by patrol vehicles. Ifconditions warrant, evacuating personnel will be instructed to reassemble at the selected remote assembly area until county monitoring and decontamination stations are established.
C. Local evacuations relating to Radiation Control Areas and fire protection are conducted in accordance with plant procedures.
4.6.3 Radiological Exposure Control A. Radiological and Contamination Control Facilities Radiation safety controls are established 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to contain the spread of loose surface radioactive contamination and monitor personnel exposure.
HNP contamination control limits are shown in Table 4.6-1. Emergency exposure guidance is given in Section 4.6.3.D of this plan. The radiation control facilities located in the Waste Processing Building include a contaminated laundry and storage area, clean laundry and storage area, personnel and equipment decontamination area. Additional areas where equipment is decontaminated are located in the Reactor Auxiliary Building (on the 236' and 261' levels) and at the north end of the Fuel Handling Building (on the 261' level). Radiation control and radiation control procedures are described in Section 12.5 of the FSAR.
Temporary facilities to limit contamination and exposure will be established as necessary during an emergency situation. As an example, facilities which can be used for personnel decontamination during an emergency are located in the Turbine Building and at the Harris Energy & Environmental Center. Radiation Control Areas can be expanded by roping off areas and/or establishing access control points to maintain personnel exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
B. Exposure Records for Emercencv Workers Emergency workers will receive self reading pocket dosimeters (SRPDs) or equivalent and TLD badges. Dose records will be maintained by the Radiological Control Coordinator in accordance with PEP-330. TLDs are read at the Harris Energy & Environmental Center. They are capable of staffing 24-hour a day.
C. Use of Protective Equipment and Supplies During the course of an emergency, protective actions will be considered to minimize the effects of radiological exposures or contamination problems PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 57 of 124
associated with personnel who must work within the affected Radiation Control Area. Measures that will be considered are:
- Use of process or engineering controls.
- Distribution of respirators.
- Use of protective clothing.
- Use of thyroid blocking agents (Potassium Iodide).
The criteria for issuance of respiratory protection and protective clothing are described in plant radiological protection procedures.
Procedures for the administration of radioprotective drugs to employees are described in the plant emergency procedures.
D. Emergency Worker Exposure
- 1) Dose Limits for workers in an emergency are taken from EPA 400-R 001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents," U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, May 1992.
Much of the discussion in this section is taken in whole from that document.
- 2) In emergency situations, workers may receive exposure under a variety of circumstances in order to assure protection of others and of valuable property. These exposures will be justified if the maximum risks or costs to others that are avoided by their actions outweigh the risks to which the workers are subjected (or collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred by the workers involved).
- 3) Emergency Worker Dose Limits are as follows:
Dose Limit Activity Condition 5 All 10 Protecting valuable property Lower dose not practicable 25 Lifesaving or protection of Lower dose not practicable large populations
> 25 Lifesaving or protection of Only on a voluntary basis to persons large populations fully aware of the risks involved.
- 4) Limit dose to the lens of the eye to three (3) times the above values and doses to any other organ (including thyroid, skin and body extremities) to ten (10) times the above values.
- 5) Routine dose limits shall not be extended to emergency dose limits for declared pregnant individuals. As in the case of normal occupational exposure, doses received under emergency conditions should be maintained as low as reasonably achievable.
PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 58 of 124
- 6) Entry into radiation fields of greater than 25 Rem/hour or emergency exposures in excess of 5 Rem TEDE shall not be permitted unless specifically authorized by the Site Emergency Coordinator for on-site emergency workers and by the Emergency Response Manager for EOF or EOF dispatched personnel.
- 7) Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Rem TEDE should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.
- 8) Personnel who will receive emergency related exposure should be selected and controlled in accordance with guidelines contained in the implementing procedures.
E. Decontamination and First Aid
- 1) Treatment of Iniured and Contaminated Persons Personnel decontamination supplies are located near the WPB 261' First Aid Station. Personnel showers are located in the general area of the main RCA entrance (WPB 261'). Chemical decontamination agents are available from Radiation Control personnel and, except in cases of severe or life-threatening injury, established decontamination procedures should be employed on site prior to medical treatment.
- 2) Initial First Aid In cases of severe injury, lifesaving first aid or medical treatment will take precedence over personnel decontamination. In general, the order of medical treatment will be:
- Care of severe physical injuries or illness.
- Personnel decontamination.
- First aid to other injuries.
- Definitive medical treatment and subsequent therapy as required.
Definitive medical treatment, therapy, and evaluation may include radioprotective drugs, urinary bioassays, or whole body counts on persons suspected of inhaling or ingesting a significant amount of radioactive material or may include surveillance and therapy for persons receiving a large whole body dose.
Emergency first aid personnel are available on all shifts. Personnel who are contaminated and who require medical treatment may be treated by these personnel on the scene or at other appropriate locations.
Rev. 48 Page 59 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 59 of 124
It is anticipated that contaminated personnel will not leave the facility for medical treatment except for cases that require immediate hospitalization.
Emergency treatment of contaminated personnel will normally be handled at the plant First Aid Room by personnel on the First Aid Team(s).
First Aid kits are located in various areas of the plant (see ORT-3002).
The First Aid Stations/Kits contain various equipmentlitems necessary to treat injured personnel until off-site agencies can transport patient to appropriate treatment center, if applicable.
- 3) Decontamination Radiation safety controls are established to contain the spread of loose surface radioactive contamination. Personnel and equipment leaving contaminated areas are monitored to ensure that equipment, personnel or their clothing are not contaminated. If contaminated above acceptable levels (see Table 4.6-1), they will be decontaminated in accordance with plant procedures. Supplies, instruments and equipment that are in contaminated areas or have been brought into contaminated areas will be monitored for contamination. Iffound to be contaminated, they wilt be decontaminated using normal plant decontamination techniques and facilities (discussed in Section 4.6.3.A) or may be disposed of as radwaste.
During emergency conditions, normal plant contamination control criteria will be adhered to as much as possible. Contamination control criteria for returning areas and items to normal use are contained in the plant Health Physics Procedures. These criteria are summarized in Table 4.6-1.
- 4) Medical Transportation The Apex Rescue Squad, Inc. has agreed to respond to emergency calls from the plant, including transporting persons with injuries involving radioactive contamination. This service is available on a 24-hour-per-day basis. In cases not involving severe injury, one of the plant vehicles may be used to transport injured individuals. The Apex Rescue Squad, Inc. is included in Annex A, Agreements".
In cases involving severe injury, the Superintendent - Shift Operations or Site Emergency Coordinator may bypass the Apex Rescue Squad, Inc.
and directly call Carolina Air Care or Duke Life Flight and request helicopter transport provided the injured is free of radioactive contamination.
Contaminated injured persons will be accompanied to a medical facility by a Radiation Control Team member carrying survey instrument. Ifpossible, contaminated clothing and equipment may be removed from the patient or the patient may be wrapped in clean sheets or clothing to prevent contamination of the transporting personnel and vehicle.
Rescue vehicles have mobile communications with the Raleigh Communications Center and local receiving hospitals. The plant first aid PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 60 of 124
team can communicate directly with the rescue vehicles by dialing the cellular phone located in the rescue vehicles.
F. Medical Treatment
- 1) Hospital Facilities A specially designated emergency area is maintained in readiness at Rex Hospital for HNP's use for the treatment of contaminated or overexposed patients from the plant. Although this area will be utilized by the hospital when not required by HNP, it will be made available to HNP when required. Equipment is available in the hospital for the emergency treatment of patients. With the facilities and equipment available, extensive decontamination and treatment of an injured patient could be performed, including any surgical treatment that may be required.
WakeMed Raleigh and WakeMed Cary serve as backup medical facilities for HNP personnel should Rex Hospital become unavailable. WakeMed Raleigh serves as the primary medical facility for trauma patients from HNP. WakeMed Raleigh, and Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital, in Dunn, N.C., also possesses the capability for the treatment of contaminated and/or overexposed members of the public.
An emergency kit is maintained at Rex Hospital, WakeMed Raleigh and WakeMed Cary containing supplies and equipment for personnel monitoring and the control of radioactive contamination. These kits contain the following:
- Low-range radiation monitoring instruments for determining contamination levels.
- Personnel monitoring equipment such as self-reading pocket dosimeters and TLDs.
- Decontamination equipment and supplies for both personnel and facility.
- Contamination control equipment and supplies such as protective clothing, signs, ropes, tags, plastic bags.
Agreements with Rex Hospital, WakeMed Raleigh and WakeMed Cary are maintained on file by HNP Emergency Preparedness. These three hospitals are listed in Annex A, Agreementsu.
- 2) Medical Consultants Medical assistance is available in the Raleigh area from general practitioners who have agreed to provide medical assistance for contaminated patients (See Annex A). Also, the DOE Radiological Assistance Team will provide medical assistance, if required.
Page 61 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Rev. 48 Page 61 of 124
G. Contamination Control of Drinking Water and Food Measures will be taken to control access to potentially contaminated potable water and food supplies on site. Under emergency conditions when a release of activity has occurred, eating, drinking, smoking, and chewing will be not permitted until the facility manager has determined that it is safe to do so. If the drinking water is contaminated above acceptable levels, uncontaminated water will be brought into the plant for the personnel to drink. Emergency food supplies are stored in a secure manner (See Table 3.1-1). Packaged food is located in vending machines in lunch rooms or office areas in the Administration Building, Fuel Handling Building "K area, Operations Building, or Service Building. If these areas become contaminated because of a release of activity, the machines will be disabled or emptied until it can be verified that the food is not contaminated or the food will be discarded. Food located in the Service Building cafeteria would be verified uncontaminated prior to use.
4.7 Fire-Fighting Assistance Off-site fire departments will provide support as described in Annex A and Annex G.
4.8 Security Measures Security measures during an emergency will be employed in accordance with the Plant Security Plan, implementing Security procedures, and Plant Emergency Procedures dealing with personnel accountability, egress, and ingress. Accountability may be delayed during a security event if the SEC (in consultation with Security) determines that performing accountability could be detrimental to the safety of plant personnel. If accountability is delayed, then accountability should be performed immediately when conditions warrant.
HNP has a letter of agreement with the North Carolina National Guard. This letter of agreement specifies that the National Guard will be in communication with HNP security should they be deployed to HNP during a security event. The location of the National Guard on-site personnel will be known and maintained by HNP security. HNP security will be responsible for any evacuation or relocation of National Guard units in the event of a radiological release.

-i
- 2) Analysis of in-plant liquid samples with actual elevated radiation levels shall be included in Radiological Control drills annually.
F. Integrated Drills
- 1) Integrated training drills are conducted between biennial exercises to ensure adequate emergency response capability is maintained. An integrated drill combines principle functional areas of the on-site response which includes the management and coordination of the response, accident assessment, protective action decision-making, and plant system repair and corrective actions. Activation of all of the emergency response facilities is not necessary. Integrated drills may provide the opportunity for training for the staff.
- 2) At least one integrated drill is to be performed between the biennial exercises and some drills may be unannounced.
- 3) Critiques and evaluation of drills will be conducted by a qualified individual. The degree of participation by outside agencies in conducting these drills may vary and their action may actually be simulated.
5.3.2 Exercises An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability of major response organizations. Exercises shall test the adequacy of timing and content of implementing procedures and methods, test emergency equipment and communications networks, and ensure that emergency organization personnel are familiar with their duties.
Procedures for the conduct of exercises are described in EPM-21 0. An emergency K> exercise involving on-site participation will be conducted at least once every other calendar year.
Partial participation exercises involving off-site agencies will be conducted at least once every other calendar year (IE Information Notice 85-55). Partial participation means appropriate off-site authorities shall actively take part in the exercise sufficient to test direction and control functions to include protective action decision making related to emergency action levels and communication capabilities among affected state and local authorities and HNP.
Every sixth year the exercise will include the full participation of the State. These full participation exercises will include appropriate off-site local and state authorities and HNP personnel physically and actively taking part in testing the integrated capability to adequately assess and respond to an accident at the plant. 'Full participation' includes testing the major observable portions of the on-site and off-site emergency plans and mobilization of state, local, and HNP personnel and other resources in sufficient numbers to verify the capability to respond to the accident scenario.
Exercises involving off-site agencies will simulate an emergency that results in an off-site radiological release.
The biennial exercises should be conducted during different seasons of the year.
Page 79 of 124 PLP-2011 PLP-20 Rev. 48 Rev. 48 Page 79 of 124
Advance knowledge of the scenarios will be kept to a minimum to allow 'free-play decision making and to ensure a realistic participation by those involved.
Each biennial exercise plan should include the following:
- The basic objective(s) of the exercise.
- The date(s), time period, place(s), and participating organizations.
- The simulated events.
- A time schedule of real and simulated initiating events.
- A narrative summary describing the conduct of the exercise to include such things as simulated casualties, off-site fire department assistance, rescue of personnel, use of protective clothing, deployment of radiological monitoring teams, and public information activities.
- Arrangements for qualified Evaluators and Controllers.
- Critique and Evaluation Reports.
Prior to the exercise, an exercise plan will be distributed to the exercise controllers and evaluators that will include a list of performance objectives, the scenario, and a description of the expected responses.
Qualified observers from Progress Energy, federal, state, or local governments will observe and critique each biennial exercise in which the state and counties participate.
A critique will be scheduled at the conclusion of each exercise to evaluate the ability of all participating organizations to respond. The critique will be held as soon as possible after the exercise. A formal written evaluation of the exercise will be prepared by the Emergency Planning Coordinator following the critique. I The Plant Emergency Planning Coordinator or assigned designee will determine those critique items that require corrective actions. Plant administrative controls will be utilized to ensure that corrective actions are implemented.

O RY I0 1JA 6.1 Recovery Planning Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. The overall goals of the recovery effort are to assess the in-plant consequences of the emergency and perform cleanup and repair operations. This effort includes the utilization of Progress Energy Corporate resources and interfacing with outside agencies. All recovery actions will be pre-planned in order to minimize radiation exposure or other hazards to recovery personnel.
Recovery from an emergency situation is guided by the following principles:
A. The protection of the public health and safety is the foremost consideration in formulating recovery plans.
B. Public officials are kept informed of recovery plans so that they can properly carry out their responsibilities to the public.
C. Periodic briefings of media representatives are held to inform the public of recovery plans and progress made.
D. Periodic status reports are given to company employees at other locations and to government and industry representatives.
E. The radiation doses to employees and other radiation workers are kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
F. Necessary adjustments in the size and makeup of the Recovery Managers staff are made as deemed necessary by the Recovery Manager.
The recovery organization may begin to develop plans for recovery of the facility while the emergency is still in progress. However, these efforts will not be permitted to interfere with or detract from the efforts to control the emergency situation. During the emergency phases of the incident, the recovery organization resources will be available to assist and provide support for the Site Emergency Coordinator.
6.2 Recovery Plan Activation The Site Emergency Coordinator, with concurrence from the Emergency Response Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the plant is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:
A. Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? Ifso, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
B. Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
C. 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.
Rev. 48 Page 83 of 124 PLP-201 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 83 of 124
D. In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
E. The potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
F. The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available.
G. Containment pressure in within Technical Specification limits.
H. Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
I. All required notifications have been made.
J. Discussions have been held with Federal, State and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
K. At an Alert or higher classification, the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
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 exceed and Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.
Decisions to relax protective actions for the public will be made in accordance with the North Carolina Radiological Emergency Plan. The Recovery Manager will provide information to the appropriate state agencies to facilitate the decision.
Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the HNP Recovery Organization is determined.
A. For events of a minor nature, (that is, for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
B. For events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (that is, for Alert classifications) the HNP Emergency Response Organization, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal plant organization.
C. For events involving major damage to systems required to maintain safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (that is, for Site Area Emergency or General Emergency classifications) the Recovery Organization is put in place.
Rev. 48 Page 84 of 124 PLP-201 Rev. 48 Page 84 of 124
When the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, all members of the HNP Emergency Response Organization are informed of the change. All appropriate personnel are instructed of the Recovery Organization and their responsibilities to the recovery effort. Notification of off-site organizations that the Recovery Organization is to be activated will be initiated by the Emergency Response Manager and will follow plant emergency notification procedures summarized in Section 4.2 of the Plan (except that the notification message will state that the Recovery Plan has been initiated, will list the new positions of the Recovery Organization, and the notification time limits will not be applicable).
