Classification of Emergency

1. Symptoms 1.1 Notification of Unusual Event RP/O/A/57001000 Page 2 of3 1.1.1 Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated.

1.1.2 No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

1.2 Alert 1.2.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION.

1.2.2 Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.

1.3 Site Area Emergency 1.3.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public.

1.3.2 Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.

1.4 General Emergency 1.4.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.

1.4.2 Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

2. Immediate Actions 2.1 Determine operating mode that existed at the time the event occurred prior to any protection system or operator action initiated in response of the event.

RP/O/Al5700/000 Page 3 of3 2.2 IF the plant was in Mode 1-4 and a valid condition affects fission product barriers, THEN proceed to Enclosure 4.1 (Fission Product Barrier Matrix).

2.3 IF a General Emergency is NOT declared in Step 2.2, OR the condition does not affect fission product barriers, THEN review the listing of enclosures to determine if the event is applicable to one of the categories shown.

2.4 Compare actual plant conditions to the Emergency Action Levels evaluated in 2.2 andlor 2.3, then declare the appropriate Emergency Class as indicated.

2.4.1 Event Declaration time --------------------

2.5 Implement the applicable Emergency Response Procedure (RP) for that classification and continue with subsequent steps of this procedure.

3. Subsequent Actions RP/O/Al5700/001 RP/O/ Al5700/002 RP/O/ Al5700/003 RP/O/ Al5700/004.

3.1 To escalate, de-escalate, or terminate the Emergency, compare plant conditions to the Initiating Conditions of Enclosures 4.1 through 4.7.

3.2 Refer to enclosure 4.9, Emergency Declaration Guidelines, as needed.

3.3 Refer to section D of the McGuire EPLAN as the basis document for classification of emergencies as needed.

.1 Fission Product Barrier Matrix RP/O/A/57001000 Page 1 of5 Use EALs to determine Fission Product Barrier status (Intact, Potential Loss, or Loss). Add points for all 3 barriers. ClassifY according to the table on page 2 of 5 of this enclosure.

Note 1: This table is only applicable in Modes 1-4.

Note 2: Also, an event (or multiple events) could occur which results in the conclusion that exceeding the Loss or Potential Loss thresholds is imminent (i.e., within 1-3 hours). In this imminent loss situation, use judgement and classify as if the thresholds are exceeded.

Note 3: When determining Fission Product Barrier status, the Fuel Clad Barrier should be considered to be lost or potentially lost if the conditions for the Fuel Clad Barrier loss or potential loss EALs were met previously (validated and sustained) during the event, even if the conditions do not currently exist.

Note 4: Critical Safety Function (CSF) indications are not meant to include transient alarm conditions which may appear during the start-up of engineered safeguards equipment. A CSF condition is satisfied when the alarmed state is valid and sustained. The STA should be consulted to affirm if any CSF has been validated prior to that CSF being used as the basis to classify an emergency. {I} Example: If ECA-O.O, Loss of All AC Power, is implemented with an appropriate CSF alarm condition valid and sustained, that CSF should be used as the basis to classify an emergency function restoration orocedure being implemented within the confines ofECA-O.O.

.9 Emergency Declaration Guidelines RP/O/A/5700/000 Page 1 of3 THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS TO BE USED BY THE EMERGENCY COORDINATOR IN ASSESSING EMERGENCY CONDITIONS.

The Emergency Coordinator shall review all applicable initiating events to ensure proper classification.

The BASIS Document (located in Section D of the McGuire Nuclear Site Emergency Plan) is available for review if any questions arise over proper classification.

If an event occurs on more than one unit concurrently, the event with the higher classification will be classified on the emergency notification form. Information relating to the problem on the other unit will be captured on the emergency notification form line 13 remarks section.

The Affected Unites) on Line 11 is tied to the EAL (IC) Number and EAL (IC) Description on Line

4. Certain events could occur at the plant site such that multiple units are affected. These may include Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluents; Fire/Explosion and Security Events; and Natural Disasters, Hazards, and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety. This shall be considered when evaluating the accuracy of the Unit designation. {PIP 0-M97-4638} If the initiating event puts more than one unit in the same Emergency Classification (example Alert), then the unit designation may be either the Affected Unit numbers or "All." If the initiating event drives one unit to a higher classification, then the unit with the higher classification should be listed as Affected Unit. {PIPs M-03-3294 and C-04-2586}

The EAL (IC) Number and EAL (IC) Description provided on Line 4 of the emergency notification form should be based on the highest emergency classification that applies. Other classifiable events should be included on Line 13, Remarks, on the emergency notification form, but not given an EAL number. {PIPs M-03-3294 and C-04-2586}

If an event occurs, and a lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the classification can be made, the classification shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred.

The fission product barrier matrix is applicable only to those events that occur at hot shutdown or higher. An event that is recognized at cold shutdown or lower shall not be classified using the fission product barrier matrix. Reference would be made to the additional enclosures that provide emergency action levels for specific events (e.g. severe weather, fire, security).

If a transient event should occur, the following guidance is provided.

1.

Some emergency action levels specify a specific duration. For these EALs, the classification is made when the Emergency Coordinator assessment concludes that the specified duration is exceeded or will be exceeded (i.e. condition cannot be reasonably corrected before the duration elapses), whichever is sooner.

.9 Emergency Declaration Guidelines RP/O/A/5700/000 Page 2 of3

2.

If a plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is corrected before the specified duration time is exceeded, the event is NOT classified by that EAL. Lower Severity EALs, if any, shall be reviewed for possible applicability in these cases.

3.

If a plant condition exceeding EAL criteria is not recognized at the time of occurrence, but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g. as a result of routine log or record review) and the condition no longer exists, an emergency shall NOT be declared. Reporting under 10CFR50.72 may be required. Such a condition could occur, for example, if a follow-up evaluation of an abnormal condition uncovers evidence that the condition was more severe than earlier believed.

4.

If an emergency classification was warranted, but the plant condition has been corrected prior to declaration and notification, the following are applicable: {2}

a.

For UNUSUAL EVENT, the emergency shall be declared and the condition shall be reported. The event should be terminated in a follow-up notification as soon as time permits, but within one hour.

b.

For ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, and GENERAL EMERGENCY, the emergency shall be declared and the Emergency Response Organization shall be activated. The TSC Emergency Coordinator shall be responsible for terminating the emergency as soon as time permits when appropriate.

c.

The Control Room Emergency Coordinator (Operations Shift Manager) shall ensure that any required follow-up notifications are conducted as required prior to activation of the TSC.

DETERMINATION OF "EVENT TIME" (TIME THE 15 MINUTE OFF SITE NOTIFICATION CLOCK STARTS)

1.

Ifplant conditions require implementation ofEPIl or 2/A/5000/E-O (Reactor Trip or Safety Injection), increased emphasis shall be given to evaluation of plant conditions for determination of EAL(s) when "kickout" of the diagnostic procedure occurs. "Event Time" is the time at which the EAL(s) is determined to be valid by the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director.

2.

Ifplant conditions do not require implementation ofEPIl or 2/A/5000/E-O (Reactor Trip or Safety Injection), and conditions of a specific EAL are met, the "Event Time" is the time at which the EAL(s) is determined to be valid by the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director.

3.

The time the event is classified shall be entered on the initial emergency notification form.

.9 Emergency Declaration Guidelines MOMENTARY ENTRY INTO A HIGHER CLASSIFICATION RP/OI Al57001000 Page 3 of3 If, while in an emergency classification, the specified EALs of a higher classification are met momentarily, and in the judgment of the Emergency Coordinator are not likely to recur, the entry into the higher classification must be acknowledged. Acknowledgment is performed as follows:

If this condition occurs prior to the initial notification to the emergency response organization and off site agencies, the initial message should note that the site is currently in the lower classification, but had momentarily met the criteria for the higher classification. It should also be noted that plant conditions have improved and stabilized to the point that the criteria for the higher classification are not expected to be repeated.

FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. An electrical breaker flash that creates high temperatures for a short duration and merely localized scorching to that breaker and its compartment should not be considered a fire.

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 or hostile action that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

HOSTAGE - A person or object held as leverage against the site to ensure demands will be met by the site.

HOSTILE ACTION - An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes hostages, and / or intimidates the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).
