Enclosure Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Regarding SONGS Proposed Emergency Plan Change NRC Questions and SCE Responses
- 1.
Request applicant provide evidence that the proposed change to the E-Plan for extending the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) augmentation time at SONGS has been reviewed by applicable State and local response organizations.
SCE Response:
The proposed Emergency Plan change was discussed with the Interjurisdictional Planning Committee, which consists of local offsite agencies, at a meeting dated January 9, 2007. Members of the California Office of Emergency Services were also in attendance. Unanimous support for the proposed change was received
-. from-the-committee..--Min utes-of-the-meeting--are-provided-as-Attachment-I1..--..
- 2., Page 2 of the licensee's submittal states that, "The adoption of a 90-minute response time will provide an. increased pool of available resources that currently exceed the 60-minute response time capability." Approximately how many additional personnel will be added to pool of available resources to staff the "minimum staff positions" and is there any additional compensation for the increase in response time?
SCE Response:
After a sample review of Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering, Southern California Edison (SCE) believes that approximately 200 additional people will become available as a result of this proposed change. This is compared to a total current Emergency Response Organization (ERO) population of 400. These additional 200 people will then become available for the ERO minimum augmented staff positions.
No additional compensation will be provided for the increase in response time because the combination of the on-shift and proposed augmented staffing is 38 responders versus the 36 functions (responders) called out in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654. There are also 10 minimum staff positions that do not have any Table B-1 responsibilities for a total of 48 positions filled following augmentation.

- 3. of the licensee's submittal, paragraph 3.8.3 titled, "Offsite Surveys,"
discusses that nine (9) fixed site detectors are 1 km from SONGS.
(3.1a) How do these detectors provide a complete coverage area to detect all off-site radiation effluents?
SCE Response:
Because the detectors are fixed in place they do not provide complete coverage.
Protective Action Recommendations (PARs), however, are based primarily on exposure rates calculated at the Exlcusion Area Boundary (EAB) using the source term at the release point. The source term is typically measured with an installed plant effluent monitor. Pressurized Ion Chamber (PIC) readings can be used as an aid to direct the location of field teams. Field surveys and PIC readings also can be used to identify that a release is occurring in the event of an unmonitored release pathway.
(3.1b) Are these detectors accurate for all stability classes (see precaution 4.8 in SO123-VIII-40)?
SCE Response:
No, the detectors are not accurate for all stability classes. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) for the Health Physics Leader Duties, however, cautions the users of survey data (from both PIC and field teams) to consider the effects of atmospheric instability.
(3.1 c) Do these detectors have the capability to monitor Iodine for emergency class determinations for Site Area and General Emergencies?
SCE Response:
No. These detectors do not have the capability to monitor iodine. Iodine is calculated based on iodine to noble gas ratios at the source of the release.
(3.1d) What are the positions of these detectors relative to the Exclusion Area Boundary?
The PICs are installed in nine (9) locations; seven (7) of which are located on the SCE property or the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base and are accessed by private roads.
The PICs are located at approximately one (1) kilometer from SONGS Units 2/3 in the approximate center of each of the nine (9) landward sectors. This is about 1000 ft. beyond the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB).

(3.2) The paragraph further states "the information obtained from these detectors provide data to support dose assessment calculations using the Raddose-V computer program." Does this program utilize these detectors as an input to generate dose projections?
SCE Response:
No. The primary method of generating dose projections is from calibrated, installed plant effluent monitors. Nevertheless, a field reading can be used to back calculate to the release point to derive a source term. This can be done either manually as described in EPIPs or in the Raddose-V computer program. However, the manual method must use survey data at the EAB and the PICS are beyond the EAB. The computer program can use survey data from any distance and azimuth. However, both methods require that the survey be taken at the plume centerline. Using PIC data for back calculation would require that the meteorological conditions place the plume centerline directly over the PIC.

(3.3) The paragraph states SONGS is in the process of developing a calibration protocol for these units and that "SCE commits to implement the new calibration protocol prior to the implementation of the E-Plan Change".
(3.3a) How long have these PICs been in service?
SCE Response:
The PICs were installed circa 1983.
(3.3b) How is their reliability?
SCE Response:
The main electronics chassis was updated from a Reuter Stokes RS1011 to a Reuter Stokes RS1013 in 1995. From Jan. 2004 thru Dec. 2007 there were nine (9) corrective Maintenance Orders (MO's) on PICs. These MO's indicated either a local maintenance issue (i.e. 12V battery maintenance) or a loss of remote communication issue. In Oct. 2007, a wildfire event on Camp Pendleton damaged
--power--and-comm u nication-lines-causing-loss-of -four-(4)-detector-sites-for-five- (5) months. As part of the wildfire repair to the telecommunication lines, a telecommunication bridge was updated allowing for unique transmit and receive level settings to each PIC location, improving remote communication availability.
Based on current off-site calibration of PIC ion chambers, two (2) out of the nine (9) locations have not been available while cycling the PIC ion chambers out for calibration at Battelle Labs. This situation will remain until all PIC ion chambers have been calibrated.
(3.3c) What are their power sources (primary and backup, if applicable)?
SCE Response:
The PICs obtain AC power from San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) offsite power lines. The units contain 12vDC backup batteries which will power the units for up to eight (8) hours following a loss of AC power. The low voltage battery is always being charged when AC power is available.
(3.3d) By what process will they be maintained (calibrations, surveillances, preventive maintenance, etc)?
SCE Response:
The PICs are checked as part of the plant Preventive Maintenance (PM) Program on a 30 day PM schedule. This includes local inspection, battery checks, system status, and verification that the instrument is responding to the background radiation in which it is located (5-15 pRlhr).
Page 4 of 20
The PICs electronics chassis is calibrated on an 18 month surveillance schedule, at which time the I/O equipment only is calibrated.
The PIC's are currently calibrated by Battelle Labs with an 18 month calibration frequency. PIC ion chamber calibration started in May, 2007 and is currently on-going.
(3.3e) If this protocol is not completed successfully, what impact will this have on the implementation of the proposed E-Plan changes?
None. The new calibration protocol is in progress and the PICs will continue to be calibrated at 18 Month Intervals.
(3.4) The next paragraph states "Following activation of the offsite agency and government emergency organizations the local agencies will be responsible for the offsite monitoring with the overall direction and coordination from the Offsite Dose Assessment Center in the EOF."
(3.4a) What is (the) response time for the local government agencies to staff their
-o ff zs ite -m o n ito rin g -te a m s-? ----.....
Barring any road impediments, a radiation monitoring team can be at the staging location within ninety minutes of notification. All off-site radiation monitoring teams are staffed by firefighting organizations. The Orange County radiation monitoring teams are located 25 miles from the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Camp Pendleton radiation monitoring teams are located 13 miles from SONGS, and San Diego radiation monitoring teams are located 16 miles from SONGS. Orange County and Camp Pendleton radiation monitoring teams are staffed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day with on-duty firefighters. San Diego County radiation monitoring teams are staffed during the day by the Oceanside Fire Department staff. During off-hours, the Oceanside Fire Department staff must be recalled.
Off-site radiation monitoring teams are typically notified within 15 minutes of the licensee's off-site notification of an alert or higher emergency. After an initial 15 minute check-out of their plume survey kits, the team is considered activated.
Once activated, they can be immediately deployed by the Off-site Dose Assessment Center (ODAC) to a specific location, or sent to a fixed staging area located three miles from SONGS.
(3.4b) Do these off-site radiation monitors meet the training requirements in accordance with station procedures (Technical Specifications, S0123-XXI-1.11.3, SO123-VIII-0.200, or any other applicable procedures) and 10 CFR 50.120?
The off-site radiation monitoring teams meet the criteria outlined in NUREG-0654 Planning Standard I, Accident Assessment, and Interim Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Manual. FEMA does not require these teams to meet the Page 5 of 20
licensee's Technical Specifications, S0123-XXI-1.11.3, S0123-VIII-0.200, or 10 CFR 50.120.
(3.4c) How does the licensee direct the off-site, non-SONGS staff to conduct radiation monitoring near the site that is required to accurately assess the radiological release to determine event classification and development of PARs?
There are no plans or procedures in place that allows the licensee to direct or communicate with these resources until the ODAC is activated. Once the ODAC is activated, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Health Physics Leader can request the ODAC Coordinator to deploy an off-site team to a specified location.
(3.4d) By what process does the licensee evaluate these monitoring teams and equipment to assure preparedness and qualifications?
The licensee does not evaluate off-site jurisdiction monitoring teams and equipment to ensure preparedness and qualifications. During biannual exercises, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) evaluates the Orange and
........... SanDiegoCountyTeams-preparedness,_qualifications, _and.-e.quipm extt. _Camp__.-.-.........
Pendleton is a Department of Defense (DOD) federal agency and therefore cannot be evaluated by another federal agency such as FEMA.
Nevertheless, the performance of these offsite jurisdiction monitoring teams is confirmed during drills and exercises.
(3.5) The County of Orange Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan, Part Two, Annex A-2 states "The Offsite Dose Assessment Center (ODAC) functions as the technical offsite center to coordinate and make independent offsite environmental assessments and measurements, radiological evaluations and Protective Action Recommendations (PAR)."
(3.5a) By what agreements or procedures does the ODAC direct the off-site monitoring teams performing surveys near the site to obtain and communicate survey results to the Emergency Coordinator to determine event classification and the development of PARS?
The ODAC makes independent off-site environmental assessments. This is accomplished using ODAC procedures that direct their off-site resources near the site to obtain survey results. These results are communicated back to the EOF at SONGS. The process of receiving off-site survey information from the ODAC is covered in the EOF Health Physics Leader EPIP. This information would be shared with the Emergency Coordinator to determine event classification and the development of Protective Action Recommendations (PARS).
There are no procedures or agreements that restrict the licensee teams from obtaining survey information only from on-site locations. The process of receiving Page 6 of 20
information from the licensee offsite survey teams is covered in the Technical Support Center (TSC) Health Physics Leader Duties EPIP.
- 4., Page 16 of the licensee's submittal, paragraph 3.8.6 titled, "Chemistry/Radiochemistry," states, "an additional Chemistry Technician is normally on-shift to augmented response capability and ensure chemistry/radiochemistry related tasks in support of accident assessment are performed." Should this be reflected in the proposed SONGS shift staffing if it is needed to ensure these tasks are performed?
SCE Response:
This position is not needed to ensure chemistry/radiochemistry related tasks in support of accident assessment are performed. The current staffing of one Chemistry Technician and one augmented Chemistry Coordinator meet the requirements of Table B-I. SONGS is committed to one (1) Chemistry Technician and one (1) Chemistry Coordinator to meet the functions listed in Table B-1. For further information on how the Chemistry Coordinator can perform Chemistry
-tech nician-functions see the-RAI 1-1-,.below--for-"Attachment-2---Table-1, Chemistry / Radiochemistry".
- 5., Pages 17-18 of the licensee's submittal, paragraph 3.10 titled, "Protective Actions (in-plant)," discusses the use of the REP access control computer system.
(a) Are there typically emergency REPs active for use in case an event occurs?
SCE Response:
Yes, emergency Radiation Exposure Permits (REPs) remain active in the Integrated Health Physics System (IHPS) for use if an event occurs.
(b) Do plant procedures require HP briefs prior to access into high radiation areas?
SCE Response:
Yes, plant procedures require a Health Physics (HP) Briefing on conditions prior to accessing a High Radiation Area (HRA).
In addition individuals must have a dose rate meter or alarming dosimeter, or be accompanied by an HP technician with a dose rate meter.
Page 7 of 20 I
(c) Who would provide additional information regarding entry into the RCA during a radiological release (e.g., steam generator tube rupture) if the HP Supervisor is performing dose assessment and HP technicians are performing on-and off-.
site surveys?
SCE Response:
The HP Supervisor will be able to provide additional information regarding entry into the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) during a radiological release. During the early phases of an event, the Emergency Coordinator/Shift Manager (EC / SM) will coordinate actions from the Control Room and most of the early actions will be performed by Operators (Primary Nuclear Plant Equipment Operators) that are capable of self-monitoring in the RCA, as described below. The HP Supervisor would also be in the Control Room and have radiological information from in-plant radiation monitors. Working with the EC / SM, the HP Supervisor would coordinate
,and prioritize activities within the RCA. Performing dose assessment requires little of the HP Supervisor's time and will not prevent him from providing additional information regarding RCA entries.
- 6. Attachment 1, Page 18 of the licensee's submittal, paragraph 3.10.2 titled, "Health Physics Coverage," discusses that the Primary PEOs will be trained on the use of handheld survey instruments to allow them to self-monitor. Later it states "This training will be made available following approval of this proposed change." What level of training will the Primary PEOs receive (i.e., air sampling, contamination surveys, protective clothing requirements, respiratory protection requirements, etc) and have will that aid in the response effort?
SCE Response:
Primary Nuclear Plant Equipment Operators (NPEOs) will receive training on the proper use of dose rate instruments to allow them to provide self-cQverage in the RCA. This training will include inspection of the instrument prior to use, how to use the instrument to perform dose rate surveys, how to perform open/closed window readings to determine beta and gamma dose rates, and how it relates to determining if airborne radioactivity exists. This will aid the response effort by allowing on-shift HP Technicians to perform other event related functions. Primary NPEOs are currently trained on protective clothing requirements and respiratory protection requirements. They will not be trained on air sampling or contamination surveys.
- 7. Attachment 2, Page 1 of the licensee's submittal states, "Note that there are no changes being proposed to augmented ERO staffing other than increasing the response time goal." Attachment 2, Table 1 additional notes #3 and #4 clearly Page 8 of 20
shows that the numbers of HP technicians are reduced. Is this an accurate statement or is there additional information that will be provided for review?
SCE Response:
Currently there are three (3) HP Technicians and one (1) HP Supervisor on-shift and this meets the functional requirements of Table B-1 prior to the ERO being augmented at 90 minutes. There is no change to the number of on-shift HP Technicians as a'result of this proposed E-plan change.
- 8., Table I of the licensee's submittal indicates that for the function of Offsite Surveys there are no 30-minute or 90-minute responders in the proposed SONGS staffing. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-1.
SCE Response:
SONGS meets the functional requirements of Table B-1 for Offsite Survqeysth_.rou4gh.......
the combination of on-shift HP resources, local Offsite Response Organization (ORO) offsite field survey teams and Pressurizedlon Chamber (PIC) fixed site detectors. Under the direction of the on-shift HP Supervisor, an on-shift HP Technician is directed downwind up to the SONGS Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) to perform surveys in the first 90 minutes of an emergency event. Beyond the EAB, ORO field teams perform the offsite surveys. PIC readings can be used as an aid to direct the location of field teams. Consequently, the functions of the Table B-1 60-minute responders and the Table B-1 30-minute responders are handled adequately through the combination of the Onsite (out-of-plant) HP Technician conducting sampling downwind up to the EAB, ORO offsite field survey teams, and the use of downwind PICs as described in Attachment 1, Section 3.8.3 of the SONGS submittal.
- 9., Table 1 of the licensee's submittal indicates that for the function of Radiological Accident Assessment - Onsite (out-of-plant), the augmented SONGS position is the HP Leader (TSC).
(a) How is a person designated for this position available to perform onsite (out-of-plant) surveys when there are procedurally required duties in the TSC?
SCE Response:
The on-shift HP Supervisor is responsible-for the HP Coordinator and HP Leader duties until relieved of those duties. After the TSC HP Leader arrives, the on-shift HP Supervisor becomes available to perform surveys or other mitigation actions.
The HP Leader does not perform on-site / out-of-plant surveys.
Page 9 of 20
(b) Does this position maintain the training and qualifications to perform these surveys in place of a HP Technician?
SCE Response:
The HP Leader does not perform on-site/out-of-plant surveys. After the TSC HP Leader arrives, the on-shift HP Supervisor, who is a fully qualified HP Technician, becomes available to perform surveys.
(c) The augmented position in Table B-1 is a HP Technician. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-1.
SCE Response:
SONGS is augmented as reflected in Table B-1 because the HP Supervisor has the skills and knowledge of the HP Technician and is fully qualified in that position.
-10:- Attachment*2; -Table l-of the-licensee's submittal-indicates-that-for-the-function-of.................
In-plant surveys, the augmented SONGS position is the HP Coordinator.
(a) How is a person designated for this position available to perform in-plant surveys when there are procedurally required duties in the OSC?
SCE Response:
The Operations Support Center (OSC) HP Coordinator is not a full time position. If the HP Coordinator leaves the OSC to perform other functions, the OSC will still function normally. This is because the HP Coordinator is dispatched via the OSC team dispatch process, and during this process communication methods will be established to ensure the HP Coordinator can interface with the OSC leadership.
Since this augmented position is not a full time position, the need to use the OSC HP Coordinator to identify or verify radiological areas would be determined by the on-shift HP Supervisor or the augmented TSC HP Leader.
In addition, one of the first duties of the HP Coordinator as delineated in the EPIPs, is to call in additional HP Technicians if required to perform tasks called out in of the procedure. SONGS also performs an "all-call" recall of the ERO so all four of the ERO Response Teams will respond to emergency events.
Page 10 of 20
(b) Does'this position maintain the training and qualifications to perform these surveys in place of a HP Technician?
SCE Response:
The HP Coordinator position is filled by first line HP supervisors who possess the skills and knowledge of the HP Technician and are fully qualified in that position.
(c) The augmented position in Table B-1 is a HP Technician. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-I.
SCE Response:
SONGS is augmented as reflected in Table B-1 because the HP Coordinator has the skills and knowledge of the HP Technician position. The HP Coordinator position is filled by first line HP supervisors who are fully qualified in that position.
Chemistry/Radiochemstry, the augmented SONGS position is the Chemistry Coordinator.
(a) How is a person designated for this position available to perform chemistry/radiochemistry functions when there are procedurally required duties in the OSC?
SCE Response:
The first duties of the Chemistry Coordinator, as delineated in the Chemistry Coordinator EPIP, are to report in at the OSC and call-in additional Chemistry Technicians as required. If the Chemistry Coordinator leaves the OSC to provide Chemistry Technician support, the OSC will still function normally because the Chemistry Coordinator would be dispatched via the OSC team dispatch process.
During this process, communication methods will be established to ensure the Chemistry Coordinator can interface with the OSC leadership.
(b) Does this position maintain the training and qualifications to perform these activities in place of a Chemistry Technician?
SCE Response:
The Chemistry Coordinator has the skills and knowledge of the Chemistry Technician position. The Chemistry Coordinator position is filled by first or second line Chemistry Supervisors / Technical Specialists and in some cases the Chemistry Coordinator is fully qualified in.the Chemistry Technician position. If not Page 11 of 20
fully qualified, the Chemistry Coordinator has the ability to assist the Chemistry Technician as a helper, i.e., directed by the Chemistry Technician.
(c) The augmented position in Table B-1 is a Chemistry Technician. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-1.
SCE Response:
SONGS is augmented as reflected in Table B-1 because the Chemistry Coordinator has the skills and knowledge of the Chemistry Technician position.
The Chemistry Coordinator position is filled by first or second line Chemistry Supervisors /Technical Specialists.
- 12. Attachment 2, Table 1 of the licensee's submittal indicates that for the function of Core/Thermal Hydraulics there is no augmented SONGS position for this Table B-1 position. Credit can be given to move this position from the 30-minute to a 60-minute responder based on the capabilities of various on-shift personnel to recognize core damage indications, and technological advances since the
-- implementation-of-NU REG-0654/FEMA-REP-l-,. Revision-i-(i..e. F-SevereAccident-Mitigation Guidelines, core damage assessment methodology, etc.). Note #11 in, Table 1 (page 27 of 28 of the licensee submittal) states that the core/thermal hydraulics assessment will be performed by the TSC Assessor when the TSC is activated.
(a) If this assessment is being performed by a designated position when the TSC is staffed, should it be included in the augmented staffing?
SCE Response:
Yes, the "TSC Assessor" performs the Core / Thermal Hydraulics function defined in Table B-1. The Assessor was listed as an augmented position under the Mechanical / Electrical positions in Attachment 2, Table 1. Responses to sub-question 12 (b) and Question 13 (below) further clarify how the Assessor and Mitigator meet Table B-1 functions.
(b) The augmented position in Table B-1 is a Core/thermal hydraulics Engineer on-shift or within 30 minutes. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-1.
SCE Response SONGS meets the functional requirements of Table B-1 for Technical Support through the combination of the on-shift STA and the recalled Engineers designated as the Mitigator and Assessor. Initially, the Shift Technical Advisor (STA) performs the Core / Thermal Hydraulics function and after augmentation the Assessor performs the Core / Thermal Hydraulics function. The Mitigator, who is a trained Page 12 of 20
engineer with strong nuclear plant systems skills, performs mitigation activities.
Once an initial core damage estimate is concluded, the Assessor, also a trained engineer, assists the Mitigator in conducting necessary Technical Support functions. In addition, drill experience has shown that the initial core damage estimate does not require the full time focus of the Assessor.
- 13. Attachment 2, Table 1 of the licensee's submittal indicates that for the function of Technical Support (Electrical and Maintenance) the augmented SONGS position is the Assessor or Mitigator. What are the qualifications / expertise for personnel designated to staff these two titles?
SCE Response:
The Assessor and Mitigator positions are staffed by degreed Engineers or Senior Engineers from the Nuclear Fuel Management, Design Engineering, Maintenance / System Engineering, and Reactor Engineering departments.
Areas of expertise for these personnel are in nuclear plant and electrical systems, electrical and mechanical print reading, core damage assessment, and Reactor
-- Coolant-System-(RCS)-leakrate-calculations-.....
- 14. Attachment 2, Table 1 of the licensee's submittal indicates that for the function of Mechanical Maintenance, the augmented SONGS position is the Maintenance Coordinator.
(a) How is a person designated for this position available to perform repair and corrective actions when there are procedurally required duties in the OSC?
SCE Response:
The Maintenance Coordinator duties in the OSC are not full-time in nature. The OSC will still function normally because the Maintenance Coordinator is dispatched via the OSC team dispatch process, and during this process communication methods will be established to ensure the Maintenance Coordinator can interface with the OSC leadership. Thus the Maintenance Coordinator can be dispatched into the field to perform repair activities as plant conditions necessitate.
(b) Does this position maintain the training and qualifications to perform these repair and corrective actions in place of a Mechanical Maintenance?
SCE Response The Maintenance Coordinator is a 1st or 2nd level Maintenance craft supervisor.
This supervisor normally has many years of craft experience and stays current through the daily supervision of craft workers as well as through the review of work documents.
Page 13 of 20
(c) The augmented position in Table B-1 is a Mechanical Maintenance. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-I.
SCE Response:
SONGS meets the functional requirements of Table B-1 for Repair and Corrective Actions through the combination of the on-shift electrical craft and mechanical craft responders, Plant Equipment Operators who will be cross-trained to perform minor maintenance activities, the recalled Maintenance Coordinator, and the on-shift Shift Rotating General Foreman (SRGF). The SRGF is cross-trained in the three Maintenance disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, and Instrumentation and Controls) and is a full time resource with the exception of outages. During outages the SRGF may be assigned other roles within Maintenance, but the SRGF or another qualified individual will still be available to perform the on-shift duties for the duration of the outage. The combination of these four (4) types of experienced maintenance personnel can cover Table B-1 functions until other personnel arrive. The other personnel will be recalled by the on-shift SRGF in accordance with a Maintenance Policy Guideline immediately following an event declaration depending on plant

- 15. Attachment 2, Table 1 of the licensee's submittal indicates that for the function of Electrical Maintenance/l&C Technician, the proposed SONGS staffing has one I&C Technician position filled by Electrical Maintenance Personnel and a note #10 (May be provided by other shift personnel) for the Electrical Maintenance position. There is no proposed augmented staffing for these positions. Table B-1 lists an on-shift
(**May be provided by other shift personnel) with an additional two 30-minute and one 60-minute responders. Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-1.
SCE Response:
SONGS meets the functional requirements of Table B-1 for Repair and Corrective Actions through the combination of the 24/7 on-shift electrical craft and mechanical craft responders, Plant Equipment Operators who will be cross-trained to perform minor maintenance activities, the recalled Maintenance Coordinator, and the on-shift Shift Rotating General Foreman (SRGF). The SRGF is cross-trained in the three Maintenance disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, and I&C) and is a 24/7 resource with the exception of outages. During outages the SRGF or another qualified individual will still be available to perform the on-shift duties for the duration of the outage. The combination of these four (4) types of experienced maintenance personnel can cover Table B-1 functions until other personnel arrive.
The other personnel will be recalled by the on-shift SRGF in accordance with a Maintenance Policy Guideline immediately following an event declaration depending on plant conditions and requirements.

There is no proposed augmented staffing for these positions. Table B-1 lists two on-shift (**May be provided by other shift personnel) with an additional two 30-minute and two 60-minute responders. It was discussed earlier that the PEOs would receive handheld survey instrument training.
(16a) Will any other plant ERO personnel receive this training?
SCE response:
No, only Primary NPEOs will receive handheld survey instrument training.
(16b) Who will provide HP coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid and firefighting activities after the on-shift staff is augmented?
SCE response:
---T-h e-a ug me ntati o n-of-the-o n-sh ift-staff-by-the-TSSC-HP--Lead e r-*the-OSC-H P-- --
Coordinator, and the EOF HP Leader allows HP Technician #2 and the HP Supervisor to assist HP Technician #3 in providing HP coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid and firefighting activities. Also, Primary NPEOs trained on the use of handheld survey instruments can support individual response activities..
(16c) Please justify why the on-shift staffing is not augmented as reflected in Table B-I.
SONGS meets the augmented functional requirements of Table B-1 Protective Actions (In-Plant) through the use of the REP access control computer system (Integrated Health Physics System), HP Tech # 3, and/or HP Tech #2 and HP Supervisor (depending upon plant conditions), Operators trained on using survey instruments, and Personnel Electronic Dosimeters (PEDs).
Proposed SONGS Staffing Note # 8 should have stated: "Credit is taken for (a)
REP access control computer system (Integrated Health Physics System), (b) HP Tech # 3, and/or HP Tech #2 and HP Supervisor (depending upon plant conditions), (c) Operators trained on using survey instruments, and (d) Personnel Electronic Dosimeters (PEDs)."
- 17. Attachment 5, Page 3 of the licensee's submittal states that "additional field monitoring personnel are available with the activation of the Operations Support Center." This is not reflected in the Attachment 2 Table 1 note #3 as it discusses the surveys performed by personnel from offsite respond agencies. Who are the Page 15 of 20
"additional field monitoring personnel" as discussed in the proposed emergency plan wording?
SCE Response:
The additional field monitoring personnel are recalled HP Technicians. If an emergency is declared, the HP Supervisor will notify HP Management of the event in progress. In addition, the HP Supervisor will perform a look-ahead to determine the need for additional HP personnel to assist with the emergency condition. The recalling of additional HP personnel is delineated in EPIPs.
- 18. Attachment 7, Pages 5-16 and 5-17 of the licensee's submittal contains references to the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP). These references to the FRERP need to be revised. The FRERP was superseded in 2004 by the National Response Plan, and specifically the Nuclear-Radiological Response Annex addresses actions in support of emergencies at a nuclear power plant. Currently the NRP is being superseded by the National Response Framework (NRF) and its supporting annexes. Please revise accordingly.
SCE response:
On May 23, 2008, SONGS issued Revision 23 of the Emergency Plan. Revision 23 removed references to the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), replacing them with references to the Nuclear-Radiological Response Annex (NRRA) or the National Response Framework (NRF) as appropriate.
- 19. Attachment 7, Page 5-28, Table 5-5 of the licensee's submittal. There are no HP technicians, mechanical and electrical maintenance or I&C technicians listed in this table. Does the proposed SONGS shift staffing include any additional working level staff personnel to augment the on-shift staff and if so, should it be listed on the minimum staffing list?
SCE Response:
HP Technicians, mechanical and electrical maintenance, or I&C technicians are not listed in Table 5-5 because they do not fill minimum staff positions.
If an emergency is declared, the HP Supervisor will notify HP Management of the event in progress. Also, the HP Supervisor will perform a look-ahead to determine the need for additional HP personnel to assist with the emergency condition. The recalling of additional HP personnel is delineated in SONGS EPIPs. In addition, SONGS performs an "all-call" recall of the ERO so all four of the ERO Response Teams will respond to emergency events.
Page 16 of 20
A SONGS Maintenance Policy Guideline provides direction for the on-shift Shift Rotating General Foreman (SRGF) to "call-out Maintenance personnel to assist in mitigating the emergency condition." This guideline is implemented as soon as the necessity for craft personnel arises. It is expected that the SRGF or other Maintenance supervisor will begin this process shortly after an emergency is declared.
- 20. Please provide any plan, procedure or document that describes or conducts the current ERO augmentation process and lists the personnel recalled.
SCE Response: of this enclosure provides the SONGS procedure for the ERO recall process. The relevant sections of the procedure are section 6.2, and Attachment 2.
The personnel that are recalled as part of the ERO augmentation process are described in Table 5-2, "Emergency Response Organization Duties," of the SONGS Emergency Plan, provided in Attachment 7 of SCE's proposed Emergency Plan
- 21. Please describe how the current SONGS ERO augmentation meets the minimum staffing positions as specified in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654, Revision 1, within 60 minutes.
SCE Response:
Table B-1 minimum staffing requirement totals for On-Shift, 30 Minutes, and 60 Minutes equals 36 personnel. SONGS maintains 23 On-shift ERO personnel and recalls an additional 25 responders to report within 60 minutes, which equals a total of 48 personnel.

- 1. Call to Order and Self Introductions The January 9, 2007 IPC meeting was called to order at 9:37 a.m. by Mike Rose, IPC Chairperson (City of Dana Point).
Self introductions were made.
- 2. Review and Approval of the December 6, 2006 Meeting Minutes Review of the December 6, 2006 IPC meeting minutes were unanimously approved.
- 3. Presentation
Mike Rose presented Ken Chin (who is retiring) a plaque from the IPC honoring his years of support and commitment to SONGS and the IPC. Ken thanked the IPC and acknowledged his appreciation for the partnership between him, the DHS and the IPC.
- 4. Offsite EP Interface Audit Results - Nuclear Oversight Vinod K. Arora, a Technical Specialist, in the Nuclear Oversight and Assessment Division at San Onofre provided the results of Emergency Preparedness Program Audit conducted during October -November 2006 (for period November 19, 2005 - November 29, 2006). In accordance with IOCFR50.54(t) the results from the part of the audit involving the evaluation for adequacy of interface with the State and local governments shall be made available to the appropriate State and local governments.
Offsite Emergency Planning (OEP) maintains an effective working relationship with offsite organizations. Several initiatives contribute to these successful relationships, including participation of offsite personnel and organizations in routine informational meetings and team building sessions. Observations and interviews with local jurisdiction representatives noted that OEP was very effective in coordinating and communicating with Inter-jurisdictional Planning Committee (IPC) members and associate members and provided well-organized and highly relevant training. Noted Beneficial Practice.
- 5. Siren Public Address Testing Dan C. reported that the results of the October siren public address testing were less than adequate for the City of San Clemente. Since October, the problems have been addressed and a retest of the public address systems will be scheduled for four (4) selected sirens in San Clemente on January 24, 2007. The City of San Clemente will provide a media release for the public and will post information about the retest on their City web page. Dan C.
requested that Jim R. send him copies of the media release prior to the retest.
- 6. Performance Indicator Status Update Dan C. reported that the NRC reviews three Emergency Plan Performance Indicators 1)
Drill Participation 2) Drill and Exercise Performance 3) Alert & Notification, i.e. sirens.
New siren technology was installed at SONGS in the last year and is continually tested to ensure it operates per industry standards. Based on Industry Performance Indicators (PI's) SONGS sirens were on the low end of the on Performance Indicator scale for the third quarter of 2006 (96.8%). However, now that the system has been completely installed the fourth quarter Performance Indicator percentages have risen to 98.8% which is close to the industry norm of 99%.
Dan also reported that on 12/26/06, the SONGS siren computer system was noticed to be reporting a 30 second run time instead of 180 seconds. However, upon further intensive investigation it was reported that the siren system is set at a default run time of 180 seconds and would never have been activated to run for only 30 seconds. The initial concern was captured in SONGS Corrective Action program and was discussed with both FEMA and the NRC.
January 9, 2007 Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 4
- 7. 90 Minute SONGS E-Plan Change for Staff Recall Barbara C. reported that SONGS is requesting NRC approval to increase the time for augmenting on-shift staffing with emergency responders who are called in from 60 to 90 minutes. This increase is necessary due to employees living father from the site and traffic growth on area highways, resulting in increased travel times. The 90-minute time frame is consistent with response times for offsite emergency responders to licensee and offsite emergency response facilities and will not adversely impact the interface with or support of offsite emergency responders. Barbara C. asked if IPC had any issues with this request; no known concerns were identified by the IPC. For the record, Denise B.
made a motion of support for 60 to 90; Susan A. seconded; the vote was unanimous in support.
- 8. PAR Change Implementation Timeline Mike R. reported that the IPC was on schedule to implement changes to PAR. The target date to implement the new PAR methodology is February 5, 2007 at 12:00 p.m. To effectively provide public education regarding the new PAR, a new communication plan is being developed. In discussion it was pointed out that there would be no significant change in existing public information; however, additional public information would be p pr-d~id _wf~i-1o mre speific-e-Va-cguti6n-d faiilTK 6i-Cn-dXi 6-aidE -UfDS1-6 th.
agreed with the public information update.
- 9. New EPZ Maps Rick G. reported that new maps will be distributed by March 10, 2007. They will include rolldowns, hardmounts and foldables; hardmounts might arrive after March 10. In addition, high resolution JPEGS will be delivered. The new maps will reflect all EOC locations and the PAZ. Rick G. asked each jurisdiction to advise him of the number of map types they wanted.
- 10. Courtesy Evaluation for 2007 Dress Rehearsal Mike R. reported that DHS offered to provide courtesy evaluators for the dress rehearsals on March 14 th to help with the transition for the new PAR. The evaluators will be there to help with the training exercise and to implement the new PAR; this is not a formal evaluation. Richard E. said that the evaluation teams would be available to meet the day before and or the day after the dress rehearsal. SONGS will host the Pre/Post DHS meeting. The DHS priority is to use the same evaluators for the dress and the graded exercises. Ken C. added that it would be a benefit to receive input prior to the graded exercise. All jurisdictions, except San Clemente, requested the courtesy evaluators.
- 11. 2007 IPC Schedule Mike R. reported that the IPC meeting schedule for 2007 would be the same as 2006.
Meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of each month, subject to special conflicts, i.e., NREP, Decision Makers, and Exercises, etc. Steve L. said that he would coordinate a joint meeting with Law Enforcement officials and the IPC. The meeting date would be coordinated with the IPC chair, Mike R.
January 9, 2007 Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 4
- 12. Roundtable Discussion Andy A. officially welcomed Mike D back and wished all a happy and healthy new year.
Rick G. distributed new TLD's to the off-site jurisdictions. He indicated that last year's distribution must be returned when requested and that any units lost will cost the jurisdiction $20 each. ODAC and the EOF will hold TTX training on new PAR scenarios on February 1, 2007 from 10:00 am. to 12: 00 p.m. Notify' Rick G. if you want to attend TTX. At the ODAC meeting this morning, they approved the new PAR into their respective plan.
Ken C. shared that he was not sad, nor unhappy about retiring. He said that it was like a graduation to the next phase of his life. He wished all good thoughts and good memories.
He felt and hoped that we were better off now than we he first started.
Dan C. reported that there will be ENG-PIO training available in mid February.
Michele S. requested that the jurisdictions should submit updated copies of their Emergency Operations Plan to her in the next week; additional plan procedures could be submitted in the next 30 days. Rick G. asked that hard copies of the updated plans be Michele S. provided an update regarding NREP. The Marines would provide a color guard presentation; the state of California would provide a panel presentation. 400-500 expected to attend. To register to attend and or for hotel reservations, go to www.nationalrep.org.
Steve L. reported that 150 years ago today there was a 7.9 earthquake on the San Andreas, as reported in the LA Times. There is a 30-70% chance that a 7.9 or larger will impact our area in the next 30 years. He asked that we consider an earthquake scenario as part of a future SONGS exercise.
Barbara C. reported that she attended a CUSD safety meeting at their new facility on Valle Road in San Juan Capistrano. The meeting was educational and well done.
The next IPC meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 7, 2007, at 9:30 a.m. at SONGS.
Mike R. adjourned the meeting at 10:54 a.m.

NOTE:
Items identified with an asterisk (*) are used to determine the accuracy of the notification.
VERBAL NOTIFICATION AUTHORIZATION:
(1)
Initial Verbal Notification for a given event is Message No. 1. Each subsequent notificati is sequentially numbered until event close-out. Sequence numbers on VNF and associated ENF (Attachment 3) shall be the same.
(2)
Preparer shall initial "Prepared by" box to document who entered message content.
(3)
VNF shall be given an independent verification by an individual who is trained in classification process (e.g. Control Room Supervisor Shift Technical Advisor, Emergency Advisor Operaions, Emergency Advisor 6ffsite, SRO Briefer). This individuaJ shall not be the EC or involved in the notification process. Reviewer shall init "Independently Verified By" box to acknowledge agreement the message content is correct.
-_(4)
.-Acting.EC shall initial "EC Approved By" box when peer review is completed to authoriz Verbal Notificatio-n-triansm-ission ACTIONS REQUIRED IN 15 MINUTES:
(5)
SC shall enter time Recall System is initiated or enter N/A if no pager message is to be sent with this notification.
(6)
- Communicators shall enter time they start to read Verbal message. The interval between this time and declaration time (item 9 below) must be 15 minutes or less. Blue Phone notification should be completed first, as notification of this single agency is typically faster than notification of multiple agencies via the Yellow Phone. If difficulties are encountered with the Blue Phone, immediately begin notification process on Yellow Phone to meet 15-minute requirement.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR DATA:
(7)
- The box for a Drill or an Emergency shall be checked.
(8)
- The box for current classification level shall be checked. The second column of boxes should be checked as follows:
0 "has been declared at" for each new or changed classification; a
"is in progress since" each time a Verbal Notification is initiated but the classification remains the same; a
"has been closed out" any time the eme rgency is being closed out in accordance with SO123-VII1-1 or SO1 23-VII11-10.5. This would be the last Verbal Notification given to state and local agencies.
(9)
- The time EC declares emergency or reclassifies event.

Release Information:
Release Definition: There is an increase in measurable quantities of radioactive material related to event which are in a pathway to the environment, or already in the environment (as measured by field monitoring).
Measurable at the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) Definition: Dose above background measured either by field monitoring teams at the EAB or by the Pressurized Ion Chambers surrounding the site (ask HP Leader).
Federally Approved Operating Limits a,
If the following Gaseous Effluent Radiation Monitors are reading:
2(3)RE7870 > 3.5E5 giCi/sec OR Sum of 2RE7865 and 3RE7865 > 3.5E5 pCi/sec O R*R 2(3)RE7874A1 or 2(3)RE7874B1 = Valid reading above background with a release to atmosphere from an affected Steam Generator.
Then check the box "above" Federally Approved Operating Limits.
- b.
If an Unmonitored release is detectable at the EAB, then check the box, "above" Federally Approved Operating Limits.
- c.
If an Unusual Event is declared in accordance with SOl 23-VIII-1, Tab Al -2, then check the box, "above" Federally Approved Operating Limits.
- d.
If there is no information confirming an unmonitored release, then check the box, "below" Federally Approved Operating Limits as specified in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual(ODCM).
If there is no event-related radioactive release in progress, then check the first box.
("There has not been.... ")
I If an event-related radioactive release did occur but was stopped, then check the second box. ("There was....")
If an event-related radioactive release is ongoing, then check the third box. ("There is....")
If release is gaseous, then check Atmosphere box.
If release is liquid, then check Land or Ocean box, as applicable.
