1.0 INTRODUCTION

In accordance with the provision of 10 CFR 50.90, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.

(DNC) is submitting a license amendment request to change the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan for Millstone Units 1,2, and 3 and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at the Millstone Power Station.

The proposed change replaces the emergency plan position of Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) with a licensee first aid team. This change is consistent with the planning standards and evaluation criterion of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Section 11.0.3. The plan, as changed, would continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50. DNC has reviewed the proposed change in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), and, although the proposed change meets regulatory standards and requirements, has determined this change will decrease the effectiveness of the existing approved emergency plan.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan Table 5-1, Station Emergency Response Organization, combines the major functional areas of firefighting and the first-aid portion of Rescue Operations and First-Aid. The plan currently specifies emergency medical training for the Fire Brigade at the EMT level. Requiring training at EMT level represents an overcommitment with respect to regulatory standards and requirements.

The Fire Brigade was reorganized in 2007 from being a separate entity to being an Operations Department function. Training for the reorganized Fire Brigade does not require maintenance of EMT qualifications; however, the requirements of the Emergency Plan continue to be met using personnel with EMT qualifications.

3.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S The proposed change replaces the emergency plan position of EMT with a licensee first aid team, which is consistent with the planning standards and evaluation criterion of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Section 11.0.3. The plan, as changed, would continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50. See Attachment 2 - Proposed Change To Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan.

Discussion of Change The proposed change will replace reference to an EMT with reference to a licensee first aid team in the Table of Contents, Sections 5, 5.1.10, 5.1.11, Table 5.1, Sections 6.5" 6.5.4,7.11, 8.1.3.b, 8.1.3.c, and Appendix A.

Serial No.09-614 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 6 ONC has reviewed this change in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q), and has determined that although the proposed change meets regulatory standards and requirements, the change will decrease the effectiveness of the existing plan and requires prior approval before implementation. The determination in decrease of effectiveness is based solely on the relative qualification requirements between an EMT trained individual and one trained to be part of a first aid team, which is the regulatory standard. There is no reduction in functional capability with respect to the regulatory standard.

The Plant Equipment Operators (PEOs) on all unit operating shifts have completed the Medic First Aid training program - "BasicPlus - CPR, AEO and First Aid for Adults." New PEOs will be trained as part of Non-Licensed Operator Initial Training. This is equivalent to Red Cross Multi-Media First Aid training. Retraining is performed every 2 years as part of Non-Licensed Operator Continuing Training. Therefore, approximately 3 to 4 first aid trained, respirator qualified, PEOs per unit are available each shift to provide first aid capability on a 24-hour basis. Electrical Maintenance personnel, although not necessarily respirator qualified, are also provided this training, since they serve in a supplemental support capacity.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

These changes affect the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan and do not alter requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. These changes do not alter any of the assumptions used in the safety analyses, nor do they cause any safety system parameters to exceed their acceptance limit. Therefore, the proposed changes have no adverse effect on plant safety. Additionally, these changes can be made without adverse impact to plant operations or to the health and safety of the public.

Based on the technical analysis performed by ONC, the proposed changes are acceptable. Reference to EMT represents an overcommitment with respect to regulatory standards and requirements. The proposed changes are consistent with the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1 Revision 1, Section 11.0.3, which specify "training for individuals assigned to licensee first aid teams shall include courses equivalent to Red Cross Multi-Media." The plan, as changed, would continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.

5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

Regulatory Guide 1.101 "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors", Revision 5, July 2005, provides the methods the NRC staff considers

Serial No. 09-1614 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 6 acceptable for complying with the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide a basis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptable radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness. Regulatory Guide 1.101 endorses the use of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."

Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-02, Clarifying the Process for Making Emergency Plan Changes, provides a framework for determining whether a change to an emergency preparedness requirement constitutes a decrease in effectiveness. A change that would degrade the capability to perform a function or relax the time requirements of affected emergency preparedness requirements is considered a decrease in effectiveness, even if the regulatory requirements are met by the change.

10 CFR 50.47(b) states "The onsite and, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, offsite emergency response plans for nuclear power reactors must meet the following standards:" Item 15 of these standards states: "Radiological emergency response training is provided to those who may be called on to assist in an emergency."

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria,"

items 11.0.3 and 11.0.4 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) planning standard. 11.0.3 specifies the type of training to be provided to licensee first aid team members who may be called on to assist in an emergency as: "11.0.3: Training for individuals assigned to licensee first aid teams shall include courses equivalent to Red Cross Multi-Media." Item 11.0.4 specifies categories of training to be provided in a training program for instructing and qualifying personnel who will implement radiological emergency response plans.

Item 11.0.4.fspecifies: "First aid and rescue personnel" as one of these categories.

Additionally, the following three 10 CFR 50.47(b) standards and their associated NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 evaluation criteria were evaluated with respect to this proposed change:

  • Emergency planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) states, in part: "On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, ... " Items 11.8.1 and 11.8.5 specify on-shift emergency organization responsibilities and duties.
  • Emergency planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(12) states: "Arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals." Item 11.L.2 specifies provisions for on-site first aid capability.
  • Emergency planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) states, in part: "Periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected."

Item II.N.2.c specifies conduct of annual medical emergency drills and items

Serial No. 09-1614 Attachment 1 Page 4 of 6 II.N.3, II.N.4 and II.N.5 specify scenario composition, critique and corrective action.

The proposed changes to the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan follow the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.101, Revision 5, for complying with the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b), RIS 2005-02, and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,Section II. Therefore, ONC concludes that the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan for Millstone Units 1, 2, and 3 and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at the Millstone Power Station as modified by the proposed changes will continue to meet the criteria specified in 10 CFR 50.47(b).

10 CFR 50.54(q) requires, "Proposed changes that decrease the effectiveness of the approved emergency plans may not be implemented without application to and approval by the Commission. The licensee shall submit, as specified in 10 CFR 50.4, a report of each proposed change for approval."

No Significant Hazards Consideration ONC has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration (SHC) is warranted with the proposed changes by addressing the three criterion set forth in 1(I CFR 50.92(c) as discussed below.

Criterion 1:

Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

These changes affect the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not modify any plant equipment and do not impact any failure modes that could lead to an accident. Additionally, the proposed changes have no effect on the consequence of any analyzed accident since the changes do not affect any equipment related to accident mitigation. Based on this discussion, the proposed amendment does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 2:

Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Serial No. 09-1314 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 6 Response: No.

These changes affect the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. They do not modify any plant equipment and there is no impact on the capability of the existing equipment to perform their intended functions. No system setpoints are being modlfied and no changes are being made to the method in which plant operations are conducted.

No new failure modes are introduced by the proposed changes. The proposed amendment does not introduce accident initiator or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident. Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 3:

Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

These changes affect the Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan and do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating License or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not affect any of the assumptions used in the accident analysis, nor do they affect any operability requirements for equipment important to plant safety.

Therefore, the proposed changes will not result in a significant reduction in the margin of safety as defined in the bases for technical specifications covered in this license amendment request.

In summary, ONC concludes that the proposed amendment does not represent a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c).

6.0 Environmental Consideration ONC has determined that the proposed amendment would not change requirements with respect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 10 CFR 20, nor would it change inspection or surveillance requirements. ONC has evaluated the proposed change and has determined that the change does not involve:

I. A Significant Hazards Consideration.

II. A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released off site, or III. A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Serial No. 09-1314 Attachment 1 Page 6 of 6 Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10)(ii). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

During accident conditions, HP technicians may accompany emergency workers, as needed, during RCA entries.

Emergency dosimetry (i.e. self-reading Pocket Ion Chamber dosimeters (PICs) or alarming dosimeters) and permanent recording dosimeters (TLDs) are used by the initial SERa responders, as necessary. Additional dosimetry is distributed by HP personnel and is issued to individuals, including off-site individuals arriving at the EOP.

TLDs are available from and analyzed by the Dosimetry Laboratory. The individual integrated dose records are maintained by the HP Department.

Exposure information is recorded from self-reading dosimeters and provides personnel exposure tracking until TLD results become available. The TLD results will be used as a permanent exposure record.

Permanent dosimetry will usually be read when it is determined that the emergency workers have received an exposure near their administrative limit or if an overexposure is suspected. All other dosimetry is read on a schedule established by the MRCA.

6.5.1. Exposure Control Guidelines In the event of an ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY, emergency worker exposure limits are automatically increased in accordance with EPA 400. This limit remains in effect until mission-specific limit upgrades are required and authorized by the appropriate emergency manager (refer to Table 6-1). The use of radioprotective Potassium Iodide will be evaluated for administration to on-site and off-site SERa personnel in accordance with emergency procedures. Exposures are commensurate with the significance of the objective and are held to the lowest levels that the emergency permits, In all situations, every reasonable effort is made to minimize exposure to emergency personnel.

6.5.5. Medical Transportation Injured or radioactively contaminated injured personnel requiring hospitalization are transported using local community ambulance services. The ambulance may be requested via dedicated or commercial telephone. The ambulance crews are trained to respond to radiological incidents. Personnel qualified in radiation protection are directed to report to the receiving hospital or accompany the injured, contaminated patients to the hospital. If necessary, the receiving hospital will be provided details of patients being transported. Station procedures provide detailed instructions for personnel responding to personnel injuries or contamination.

6.5.6. Medical Treatment Arrangements for the primary care of injured, or radioactively contaminated injured personnel are made with the Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London and Middlesex Hospital in Middletown. Communications will be by commercial telephone lines. The hospital staff is trained annually and the facility is equipped to treat contaminated injured patients. Contaminated wounds are treated and decontaminated as necessary by the hospital staff.

6.6. Public Information The public information emergency response personnel consist of the Public Information Technical Advisor (PITA), the Nuclear News Manager (NNM), the Chief Technical Spokesperson (CTS) and supporting staff. The PITA reports to the ADEOF at the Station EOF. The PITA gathers and transmits event information to the ICSC external affairs staff. The PITA may initiate a news release as determined necessary by the DSEO when the NNM is not available to issue news releases. Additionally, when corporate support is available, public information will be coordinated with the assistance of the Corporate External Affairs Manager. This assistance may include the use of personnel assigned to the news release process and representation between the licensee, state and media officials.

At an Unusual Event the NNM will determine the actions to take regarding notification of media in coordination with the DSEO and station management.

In an ALERT or higher, the NNM reports to the Chief Technical Spokesperson and manages public information activities at the EOF and Joint Media Center. The NNM issues DSEO approved news releases from the Hartford State Armory. The Chief Technical Spokesperson represents the licensee in communications with state and media officials until a Corporate Executive Spokesperson assumes this responsibility.
