3.2 The Shift Manager will normally act as ED when an emergency classification is initially declared. ED responsibilities will transfer from the Shift Manager to the TSC Manager or the EOF Manager depending upon time of facility activation.
3.3 The TSC Manager is responsible for the plant management function during an emergency and will be in charge of directing plant activities in support of Control Room operations. The TSC Manager has the authority to implement any plant action deemed necessary to mitigate the emergency conditions. {R-5695}
3.4 Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs) are entered and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) exited when primary containment flooding is required. An announcement to the TSC and EOF should be made when this occurs.
3.5 The TSC Manager is responsible to ensure communications are maintained as necessary between the Shift Manager and EOF Manager/Emergency Director. The TSC Manager should also maintain an awareness of plant conditions and obtain concurrence of the Emergency Director prior to implementing mitigating actions identified as requiring Emergency Director concurrence on EOPs or SAGs.
3.6 Affected security measures may be suspended only during an emergency when this action is immediately needed to protect the public health and safety and no other immediately apparent action, consistent with the Columbia Generating Station license conditions and technical specifications, can provide adequate or equivalent protection. {R- 1123}
3.7 The authority to temporarily suspend affected security measures is given to the Columbia Generating Station Emergency Director with approval, at a minimum, from a licensed senior reactor operator. R-1 1865) 3.8 If the Emergency Director becomes incapacitated or is not immediately available, a licensed senior reactor operator familiar with the circumstances surrounding the emergency situation has the authority to temporarily suspend the affected security measures. {R-1 1867}
Revision: 31 Number: 13.10.2 Use Category: REFERENCE
Title:
TSC MANAGER DUTIES Page: 5 of 28 3.9 The temporary suspension of security measures must be approved by the Emergency Director prior to taking the action unless a life-threatening situation exists and there is insufficient time to obtain prior approval. {R-11867}
3.10 If security measures are temporarily suspended, notify the NRC Operations Center as soon as practicable, and in all cases, within one hour of the occurrence. Upon restoration of security measures, the NRC Operations Center shall be notified as soon as practicable.
Refer to PPM 13.4.1. {R1 124}
3.11 Suspended security measures must be restored as soon as practical. {R-1 123}
3.12 Activation of the TSC without all Essential category positions filled is activating with a staffing level below the minimum required by the Emergency Plan. However, ifthe plant is in serious need of assistance from the TSC, and the TSC staff present at the time is able to perform the functions of the TSC, the TSC Manager may activate the TSC without all Essential personnel present.
3.13 If all Essential category positions for the TSC are not filled within 90 minutes of the ERO being notified to activate the TSC, the TSC Manager should then continuously assess the level of staffing that does exist and activate the TSC as soon as he believes that staffing is adequate for the TSC to fulfill its required functions.
3.14 Declaring the TSC activatedwithout all Essential personnel present is not in accordance with Emergency Plan requirements and must be documented through the corrective action program.
Number: 13.10.2
ýTitle: TSC MANAGER DUTIES 4.0 PROCEDURE NOTE: Once emergency operations commence and EPIPs are entered, normal work control practices may be superseded by EPIP repair team methodology at the TSC Manager's discretion. Consideration should be given to the severity of the emergency when making this decision.
NOTE: Procedural steps may be implemented using Attachment 5.2, TSC Manager Checklist.
4.1 TSC Manaqer Duties At Unusual Event Classification No action required unless you are contacted by the Shift Manager or Emergency Director.

a) Staff members designated for relocation to Control Room.
b) Safe access path to the Control Room.
If safe access to the Control Room is not available, direct all TSC staff to continue their emergency duties from the EOF, the Simulator or the Alternate EOF, as deemed appropriate. Communication with the Control Room and the other Emergency Response facilities from the EOF can be readily accomplished using existing equipment.
Communication from the Simulator and the Alternate EOF to the other Emergency Response facilities will likely require using phones outside those centers.

- 7) TSC staff re-establish communications with other centers / counterparts.
- c. Recovery of TSC If conditions later permit the TSC to be re-occupied, the TSC Manager should confer with the ED to decide on the appropriate time to return to the TSC. If that choice of action is chosen, planning and execution should address considerations similar to those made for the initial relocation. In addition, verify the habitability of the TSC prior to returning there.
- d. Relocation to Simulator or Alternate EOF.
These facilities have fewer computer work stations and less communication capabilities than the main Control Room and the EOF. Hence more creativity will be necessary to set up an effective TSC.
- 1) Alternate EOF.
If the Alternate EOF is designated as the TSC assembly point, it is likely that other Center staffs (e.g., EOF) will have been instructed to assemble there also. TSC Staff may need to use conference rooms and surrounding offices as work stations.
