Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 1: INTRODUCTION Section A: Purpose As required by the licensing conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) this document describes the emergency preparedness program for the Entergy Indian Point Units 1, 2 and 3 Generating Stations (Indian Point Energy Center). The philosophy that guides the development and maintenance of this program is the protection of the health and safety of the general public in the communities around the Indian Point units and the personnel who work at the plant.
The Emergency Plan for Indian Point (Plan) outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. This document is not intended to be used as a procedure. Detailed Emergency Plan implementing procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions.
This Plan documents the methods by which Entergy's Emergency Preparedness Programs meet the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Section 47(b) and Appendix E.
The Emergency Plan for Indian Point is applicable to plant conditions that may cause or may threaten to cause radiological hazards at Units 1, 2 or 3 affecting the health and safety of workers or the public or resulting in damage to property. Unit 1 is defueled and only those areas of Unit 1 that either store or process radioactive materials (the Fuel Handling Building and waste storage/process areas in the Chemical Systems Building and the Integrated Liquid Radwaste Systems Building) were considered in evaluating radiological hazards.
This Emergency Plan is solely dedicated to Indian Point and includes details of how Entergy utilizes its resources to assist the plant operating staff during an emergency situation.
Section B: B1ckground Description of the Indian Point Energy Center Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line, at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan, in upper Westchester County, New York State. The IPEC Site is about 2.5 miles southwest of the City of Peekskill; 8.3 miles south of West Point; 1.5 miles northeast of the Lovett generating station site; 4.6 miles north of the Bowline Point generating station site; and miles north of Montrose Point. is approximately acres and contains pressurized water reactors owned by Entergy. Figures 1.8-1 and 1.8-2 are maps that show the general location of the Site and its environs within a 10-mile and 50-mile radius, respectively.
Exclusion Area Entergy has the authority within the site boundary, called the Exclusion Area, to determine all activities including the exclusion or removal of personnel and property (see Figure 1.B-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243026
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan There are no residences within the exclusion area nor are there any public highways or public railroads traversing the exclusion area.
One main and one alternate access roads service the exclusion area. Several other roads interconnect with these two roads. In the event of an evacuation, all vehicular traffic will be directed to the appropriate access road depending on the wind direction, and traffic would exit the site onto Broadway in Buchanan.
Protected Area A Security fence marks the perimeter of the Protected Area of the site. Access beyond the fence is restricted to badged employees or escorted visitors. Metal and bomb detectors are located at the Protected Area entrance. All buildings related to plant functions are within the Protected Area security fence.
The independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) is located within the Protected Area boundary for interim dry storage of spent fuel. The HOLTEC spent fuel storage casks are designed to ensure protection of public health and safety through use of physical barriers to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity and through the use of shielding to minimize radiation.dose to the public from both normal and off-normal conditions of operation. The analyses summarized in the HOLTEC Cask UFSAR demonstrate that under assumed accident conditions, the consequences of accidents challenging the integrity of the barriers will not exceed limits established in 10 CFR 72.106.
Population Distribution Approximately 13,000 people live within a two mile radius, approximately 84,000 people live within a five-mile radius and approximately 300,000 within a ten-mile radius of the site based on the 2000 US Census population. A more detailed summary of population distribution can be found in Appendix 5 and the station's Evacuation Time Estimate Study.
Site T opograQh~
The Indian Point Energy Center is surrounded on almost all sides by high ground with elevations ranging from 600 to 1000 feet above sea level. The general orientation of this mass of high ground is northeast to southwest. The Hudson River runs northeast to southwest at the Indian Point location but turns sharply northwest approximately two miles north of the plant.
Steep, heavily wooded slopes flank the west bank of the Hudson: the Dunderberg and West Mountains to the northwest (elevation 1086 feet and 1257 feet, respectively} and Buckberg Mountain to the west southwest (elevation 793 feet). Further west are slightly higher peaks.
To the east of the site, peaks are generally lower: Spitzenberg and Mountains average about 600 feet elevation, a weak, poorly defined of ridges run a north-northeast direction. The River south of the plant makes another sharp bend to the southeast and then widens as it flows past the towns of Croton and Haverstraw.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Plant Unit 1 (615 MWt, defueled), Unit 2 (3216 Mwt) and Unit 3 (3189 Mwt).
Figure 1.8-3 shows a general layout of the Site.
In a nuclear reactor system, containment is defined as the means of restricting, to sharply defined volumes, the distribution of radioactive materials that are in the process of nuclear fission. The IP-2 and IP-3 units have three containment barriers that exemplify the "Defense in Depth" philosophy.
The first or innermost of the barriers is the fuel rod. This encapsulates the fuel pellets that generate the heat energy and is designed to maintain its integrity for the anticipated core life.
The second containment barrier is the reactor pressure vessel. This pressure vessel contains the fuel rods, grouped into fuel assemblies, and the attached reactor coolant system which is comprised of four steam generators, four cooling pumps, pressurizer, and piping.
The third barrier, called the reactor containment structure, surrounds the reactor coolant system. The reactor containment is a steel-lined reinforced concrete cylinder with a hemispherical dome and a flat base. This outer containment is designed to withstand the internal pressure that accompanies a loss of coolant accident. The structure provides radiation shielding for both normal operations and accident conditions.
Section C: Scope The primary hazard consideration at the Indian Point Energy Center is the potential unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from an accident at the site. The probability of such a release is considered very low due to plant design and strict operational guidelines enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). However, Federal regulations and common sense require that an emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station.
This Plan describes the response of Entergy personnel at the Indian Point Site during emergencies. It identifies an Emergency Response Organization(s), describes facilities and equipment, assigns responsibilities and authorities and identifies procedures for responding to emergencies from minor injury to personnel to conditions having offsite radiological consequences. Emergency Plan implementing procedures have been developed to implement this Plan. These procedures identify the elements of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and the interface with supporting offslte In addition to directives have been developed to ensure proper maintenance of the program. A listing procedures, cross-referenced to sections of this plan, is contained in Appendix Complete copies of the Emergency Plan implementing procedures are maintained in the Control Rooms, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Alternate Emergency Operations Facility. Additional copies of individual procedures are distributed as needed to support the ERO.
3 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243028
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Plant operating, radiological control and security procedures were considered in the development of this Plan. Reference to these procedures is made where necessary.
Plant operating and emergency procedures are available in the Control Rooms for use by the operating staff. Radiological control procedures are available for use by the Watch Radiation Protection personnel. Procedures that address security requirements during emergencies for the security force are contained in the Security Procedures and Safeguards Documents.
This Plan includes agreements made with offsite organizations that furnish support during emergencies. Copies of these agreements are contained in Appendix 2. Specific notification and direction instructions are incorporated into the implementing procedures where necessary.
Elements of the offsite emergency response are specified in the Emergency Plans of New York State, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties.
Section D: Planning Basis The IPEC Emergency Plan, in conjunction with the implementing and administrative procedures, documents the methods by which the Entergy Emergency Preparedness Program meets the planning standards set forth in 10-CFR-50.47 (b) and the requirements of 10-CFR-50 Appendix E. Other applicable regulations, publications, and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with site-specific documents to ensure consistency in the planning effort.
This plan was developed in coordination with the New York State Office of Emergency Management and local county Offices of Emergency Management. These organizations have complementary emergency response plans.
Indian Point Units 1&2 previously owned by Consolidated Edison and Indian Point Unit 3 previously owned by the New York Power Authority, were consolidated under one owner, Entergy Corp. in 2001. Much of the planning efforts prior to the consolidation were carried on as a joint venture between the previous owners. In order to further streamline processes, planning efforts and establish standard responses, this single Plan was developed.
This Plan was developed to respond to and minimize the onsite and offsite impact of an accident at Indian Point. The interrelationship between the Site, Corporate, Federal, State and local government organizations is discussed. Protective measures within the exclusion area (onsite) are the responsibility of Entergy. Protective measures outside area are and local The Onsite and Offsite Emergency Organizations can respond to any incident or accident 24-hours every day. These emergency organizations consist of many subgroups. The responsibilities, authorities and interactions between the subgroups are discussed in Part 2, Section B of this Plan.
This Plan incorporates a classification system for emergencies and prescribes the recommended actions which are recommended to Offsite to be taken to protect the safety of public, personnel and property both and are 4 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243029
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan contained in the Indian Point Emergency Planning Implementing Procedures. The Plan addresses the responsibilities of personnel and the available resources.
The State and local government responses to plant-related emergencies outside the exclusion area are coordinated between the New York State Office of Emergency Management and the County Offices of Emergency Management as described in their respective Emergency Plans.
The response to an emergency occurs in three phases.
- 1. The first phase (initial) includes immediate operator actions to maintain or bring the plant to a safe shutdown condition, initiate action to protect onsite personnel, classify the emergency and notify plant personnel and the appropriate offsite authorities. This phase is conducted by watch personnel (staffing level I, refer to Part 2 section B) with the assistance of other in-house personnel as needed.
- 2. The second phase (activation) includes actions to terminate the incident, monitor both onsite and offsite monitoring areas, assess the extent of any release of radioactivity, and disseminate the assessment (estimated exposure information) to offsite authorities.
The second phase is performed under the direction of the Emergency Director at the EOF/AEOF. This phase includes augmenting the Onsite Emergency Organization with support from offsite.
- 3. The third phase (recovery} begins once the emergency is terminated and includes planned actions for re-entry by workers to restore the station to normal operation, assisting offsite authorities return the public evacuated from around the Site, and implementing post accident environmental sampling as needed. This phase is the responsibility of the Site Recovery Director.
Section E: Governmental Emergency Planning Entergy works with Federal, State and Local government agencies to insure an integrated emergency response within the Emergency Planning Zones (Figures 1.8-1 and 1.8-2}
located around the Indian Point Energy Center.
Section F: Emergency Plan Guidance and Criteria The Indian Point Emergency Plan and related implementing procedures integrates guidance from several governmental and industry standards to provide the best protection of the health and safety of the public. See Appendix 1, References, for a list of documents used in development of plan.
Section G: Assistance to Non-Entergy Planning Efforts Entergy provides technical assistance and other assistance as required to State and Local Agencies who are involved in the emergency planning effort for Indian Point.
5 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243030
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Section H: Response Organjzation This Plan and its associated implementing procedures outline Entergy's responsibilities for the protection of onsite persons. Specific responsibilities, organizations and program implementation are outlined in other sections of this plan, its associated implementing procedures and supporting administrative directives.
Section 1: Federal Response The Federal Government has an integrated response plan in the event of a radiological emergency at any facility. Provisions are made within this plan for the integration of appropriate elements of the federal assistance activities. Arrangements have been made to accommodate a federal response organization presence in the Entergy emergency response facilities as well as support communications between utility and federal emergency facilities. NRC response as described in NUREG-1472, "Concept of Operations: NRC Incident Response", was used in the development of the E-Pian as guidance to ensure coordination between Entergy and NRC EROs.
Section J: Form and Content of Plan This Plan has been formatted similar to NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1.
Because this Plan is formatted in the same manner as the guidance document, no section cross-reference is needed.
An appendix is provided to cross reference Implementing Procedures and Administrative Procedures to sections of the Emergency Plan.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section A: Assignment of Responsibility This section describes the primary responsibilities for emergency response by Entergy Nuclear Northeast, Federal, State, and local organizations within the Indian Point Plume Exposure Pathway and the Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs).
Various supporting organizations are also described as well as staffing for initial and continuous response.
In the event of an emergency, as defined in Part 2, Section D, various Federal, State, and County organizations will be notified. This section identifies the principal State agency and other government agencies having planning and/or action responsibilities for emergencies, in the Westchester, Orange, Putnam and Rockland County areas of New York State.
- 1. Organizations The relationships and the concept of operations for the organizations and agencies supporting a response in the Indian Point Emergency Planning Zones are as follows:
- a. Identified below are Federal, State, local, and private organizations that are involved in a response to an emergency at Indian Point.
Federal Agencies The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) outlines the statutory and regulatory responsibilities. The primary Federal response at Indian Point supporting an emergency include:
- Regulatory Commission (NRC}, who act as technical/regulatory advisors to Indian Point during an emergency. They provide Federal communications capabilities, coordination of Federal assistance, and assessment of onsite radiological incidents and potential offsite consequences.
- The U.S. Department of Energy operates a Radiological Assistance Plan from its regional office at Brookhaven, Long Island. The Radiological Assistance Plan, which specializes in radiation safety and medicine, will provide assistance to the Nuclear Facility Operator, the State or the county at their request. This assistance, which includes monitoring of the environment surrounding the site, is available twenty-four (24) hours a day by calling the contact phone number. The expected time of arrival approximately 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The Emergency Director authorized to request assistance event it is County Airport, 1ocatE1a approximately 30 minutes by automobile from the site, can supply facilities for air transportation.
A-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243035
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who coordinates the overall offsite Federal response and provides Federal resources and assistance to state and local governments. FEMA is a division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who assists with field radiological monitoring/sampling and non-plant, related recovery and re-entry guidance.
- During a radiation incident that could have offsite radiological consequences, the U.S. Coast Guard will assist by maintaining traffic control on the Hudson River. Coast Guard assistance is requested by and coordinated through New York State, the appropriate county, or FEMA.
- National Weather Service, who provides meteorological information to Indian Point in the event that the onsite meteorological tower or monitoring instrumentation becomes inoperative.
New York State Agencies
- The agency responsible for emergency planning is the State Office of Emergency Management. The Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission will assume the direction and coordination of the State response activities. The specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to various departments and agencies of the State are delineated in New York State's Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. Notification to the State of emergency conditions would be as indicated in Part 2, Section E.
- During an emergency, New York State can utilize the facilities at the Emergency Management Office, Southern District which has an EOC equipped with statewide communications capability.
County Offices of Disaster and Emergency Services/Emergency Management The four (4) counties that are involved in emergency response activities at the Indian Point Site include:
- Westchester County, in which Indian Point Energy Center is located;
- Rockland County, on the west side of the Hudson River across from Indian Point; The closest Orange County are approximately from Indian Point.
- Putnam County, on the east side of the Hudson River, north of the plant.
The closest boundaries of Putnam County are approximately four (4) miles from Indian Point.
A-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243036
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Each county has an Office of Disaster and Emergency Services or Emergency Management. The Director of each of these offices, or their designee, wilt act as the County Emergency Operations Director in the County. Bergen County is a host county that assists Rockland County in the event of an evacuation of the general public. The city of Peekskill takes direction from Westchester County and has its own Warning Point and Emergency Operation Center.
Emergency Operations Centers are where county managers direct and coordinate the County's response, under the authority of the Chief Executive of the County, for natural and man-made disasters. Notifications to the Counties of an Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area or General Emergency at Indian Point would be as described in Part 2, Section E.
- b. During an emergency condition at an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency level, the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization replaces the normal plant organization. Indian Point concept of operations is to utilize the entire station staff and if needed the entire company (Entergy) resources to protect the health and safety of the public and station personnel during an emergency at the site. Part 2, Section B outlines the organizations established.
- c. Figure A-1 illustrates the interrelationships of the organizations involved with emergency planning for Indian Point
- d. The Shift Manager (or the Control Room Supervisor in his/her absence) is in charge of the Indian Point emergency response until relieved by another qualified Emergency Director who is then in charge of the entire Entergy emergency response organization.
- e. Continuous Coverage: The Indian Point Emergency Response Organization has sufficient numbers of qualified, trained personnel to provide the capability of continuous (24-hour) operations. Continuously manned communication points have been identified for all agencies involved in the planning effort.
- 2. State cand Local Functions and Responsibilities The State, the local counties and reception center communities have Emergency Response Plans that specify the responsibilities and functions for the major agencies, departments, and key individuals of their emergency response organizations. This information is located in their respective Plans.
Along with the State of New York, the States New and Pennsylvania are within boundaries of the Emergency Planning Ingestion Pathway 50-mile radius. The specific response of these states is found in their respective Emergency Response Plans.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section B: Station Emergency Response Organization This section describes the fndian Point Energy Center Emergency Response Organizations, their key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements, which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among Indian Point response personnel and specifies offsite support available to respond to the site.
Table B-1, outlines the minimum staffing for emergency response required to be onshift and other key responders capable of responding within 60 minutes of a call to support the onshift organization.
- 1. Indian Point Emergency Response Organization Assignments:
Figure B-1. 1 illustrates the staffing for the normal on-shift complement. Members of the on-shift organization are trained on their responsibilities and duties in the event of an emergency, and are capable of performing initial emergency response actions. Figures B-1.2a-d illustrate the full Emergency Response Organization (ERO). The full ERO will be activated at an Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.
- a. Normal Plant Organization The normal Indian Point staff and operational organization is detailed in Site Administrative Procedures. Figure B-1.3 shows an overview of the normal station organization at Indian Point.
Each Unit's normal watch organization (Figure B-1.1) functions twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week and consists of the following qualified individuals:
One (1) Shift Manager, who holds a Senior Reactor Operator's license and is in charge of operating personnel during his/her shift and is responsible for assuring that all operations are conducted in accordance with approved procedures and the limitations set forth in Unit Technical Specifications; One (1) Control Room Supervisor, who holds a Senior Reactor Operator's license and is responsible for safe operation of the unit within the requirements of the Technical Specifications.
Room Operators, who hold a Reactor are immediate operator action required as stipulated by written necessary maintain or bring the plant to a safe condition during abnormal and/or emergency conditions; One (1) Field Support Supervisor or Shift Technical Advisor performs in an advisory capacity to the Shift Manager. This position is not required during cold shutdown; B-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243040
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Three (3) Nuclear Plant Operators who perform plant operations, minor maintenance and monitoring under the direction of the Control Room Supervisor.
One (1} Radiation Protection Technician and one (1) Chemistry Technician perform radiation monitoring, surveillance, decontamination, and water chemistry as necessary. The Radiation Protection Technician can perform emergency duties at Unit 2 and/or Unit 3 during emergencies.
The watch organization is augmented during normal working hours Monday through Friday by the Indian Point Management and Operations Staff (shown in Figure 8.1-3) which is organized to lend expertise to the watch force.
The Security organization maintains site security and guards access to the plant and controlled areas at all times working under the direction of the Shift Manager and the Security Shift Supervisor.
The Shift Manager (Control Room Supervisor in the absence of the Shift Manager) has the responsibility and authority to declare an emergency, initiate the appropriate immediate action in accordance with written procedures, mitigate the consequences of the emergency, activate the full Emergency Response Organization and notify offsite support and government agencies.
- b. Oneall Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is established to assure that a sufficient number of appropriately qualified personnel are available each day, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day to deal with any emergency situation.
During an event or emergency at Indian Point, the initial phase of the response is conducted by the normal shift complement onsite. The Watch Force, depicted in Figure 8-1.1, satisfies the NUREG-0654 requirements for on-shift personnel.
Table 8-1 presents, in tabular form, the minimum staffing requirements of NUREG-0654 on-shift personnel and the additional personnel capable of augmenting the onshift organization within 60 minutes.
Those personnel identified to augment the Watch Force within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert are part of the on-call ERO. These personnel are immediately available during normal working hours or are contacted by a pager I phone callout system during non-working hours. The pager system is backed up with an automated telephone notification system.
For security events that would prevent emergency responders from reaching the site, EOF Staff would be sent to activate the Alternate EOF. TSC, OSC and CR Staffs will be notified to report a designated offsite location. staffs will provide area as access is restored.
8-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243041
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The activation phase consists of Emergency Response Organization (ERO) activation.
This includes the normal watch and personnel needed to staff the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), the Technical Support Center (TSC), the Operations Support Center (OSC) and the Joint Information Center (JIC). This occurs at an Alert classification or higher. A partial or complete ERO activation may be implemented at a NUE classification.
The ERO is capable of performing those activities necessary to:
(1) Maintain control of the plant and mitigate the consequences of the emergency, (2) Conduct accident assessment and analysis to determine the full scope and impact of the situation, (3) Establish and maintain communications with authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures, (4) Conduct a coordinated emergency public information program, and (5) Conduct long.:.term emergency response activities.
Activation of the ERO gives the Emergency Director full access to the resources of Entergy. In addition to the above listed facilities, corporate resources are made available as needed to support the onsite ERO.
Figures B*1.2a-d illustrates the Indian Point ERO. Personnel who will fill the positions identified are listed in an Emergency Telephone Directory.
- 2. Authority Over Indian Point Emergency Response Organization:
The Shift Manager (or the Control Room Supervisor in the event that the Shift Manager is unavailable), acting as the Emergency Director, has the authority to declare an emergency, immediately takes charge of the emergency response effort and is responsible for offsite dose assessment until relieved by another qualified Emergency Director. He/she activates the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) as necessary and continues to direct the emergency response until relieved by another qualified Emergency Director.
The relieving Emergency Director takes charge of the overall emergency response, thus freeing the Shift Manager to direct his/her attention towards the mitigation of the accident using the emergency operating procedures. The Plant Operations Manager holds this position until the on-call Emergency Director arrives. Overall control of the Onsite Emergency Response Organization is maintained by the Emergency Plant Manager in the TSC. After command and control is transferred to the Emergency Director it l'.e:!lnI!:III'IC Although the ERO described in this section of the Emergency Plan fulfills the regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the Emergency Director. This alteration woutd be based on the needs within the ERO during an actual event.
B-3 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243042
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 3. Succession to Emergency Director:
The duties and responsibilities of the Emergency Director (ED) are initially assumed by the Shift Manager (CR Supervisor in his/her absence). When the EOF becomes operational, the on-call ED relieves the Shift Manager of ED responsibilities, and overall command and control of the emergency is transferred to the EOF. The Plant Operations Manager (POM) relieves the on-shift ED until such time as the EOF is operational. The POM must remain in the Control Room.
The position of on-call Emergency Director is normally staffed by high level station management personnel.
- 4. Emergency Director Responsibilities:

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section D: Emergency Classification System This section describes the classification and emergency action level scheme used to determine the minimum response to an abnormal event at the Station. This scheme is based on Indian Point Units 2 & 3 systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures.
The initial response of Federal, State and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization. Indian Point emergency planning personnel work closely with State and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces.
1 . Emergency Classification:
This Plan is based on consideration of conceivable consequences of potential situations ranging from incidents where effects on plant and personnel are negligible to highly unlikely releases of radioactivity, which could affect members of the public. The emergency classification of these conditions, both radiological and non-radiological, indicates the relative severity for immediate implementation of response actions. The four (4) major classifications increase in overall severity from Notification of Unusual Event (least severe), Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency (most severe).
These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. Each classification is characterized by certain initiating symptoms or events called Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These action levels include specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) or events, that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. A brief explanation of the four classification levels follows:
Notification of Unusual Event CNUE}
A Notification of Unusual Event classification is used to denote events that 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 offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
This is the least severe of the four (4) classifications. The purpose of this classification is primarily notification. These notifications provide } assurance any later found be necessary has carried a rou*~*n*~
handling unusual events information and decision making. Any radioactive releases to the environment would not cause exposure to the offsite population at levels requiring Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protective actions to be instituted.
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:
and 15 classifying the event; D-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243068
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan b) Required Station Management and the NRC are informed of the nature of the unusual condition; c) Optional augmentation of on-shift resources as needed, which may include full or partial staffing of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and/or the Joint Information Center; d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR f) Close out with verbal summary to offsite authorities followed by written summary within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
State and local offsite authorities would, as directed by their respective Emergency Plans:
a) Provide fire or security assistance if requested; b) Escalate to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR c) Standby until a verbal closeout Alert An Alert classification indicates events are in progress 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 the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
The purpose of the Alert is to (1) ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and (2) provide the offsite authorities with current information. Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses will exceed 10 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 10 mRem/hr external exposure rate.
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:
a) Initiation of activation of the Emergency Response Organization which results in the staffing of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and the Joint Information 15 Prompt notification of the NRC (not to exceed one hour);
d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Dispatch of field monitoring teams and establish associated communications, as necessary; D-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243069
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan f) Periodic plant status updates are provided to offsite authorities (approximately every 30 minutes or period agreed upon with offsite authorities);
g) Meteorological assessments are provided to offsite authorities and, if any releases are occurring, dose estimates for actual release; h) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR i) Close out or recommend reduction in emergency class by verbal summary to offsite authorities followed by written summary within eight (8) hours of closeout or class reduction.
State and local offsite authorities would, as directed by their respective Emergency Plans:
a) Provide fire or security assistance if requested; b) Augment resources by activating EOC 's; c) Augment resources and bring primary response centers and Emergency Alert System (EAS) to standby status; d) Alert key emergency personnel to standby status including monitoring teams and associated communications; e) Provide confirmatory offsite radiation monitoring and ingestion pathway dose projections if actual releases substantially exceed technical specification limits; f) Maintain Alert status until verbal closeout or escalation.
Site Area Emergency (SAEl A Site Emergency indicates 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 result in exposure levels that exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
The purpose of the Site Area Emergency declaration is to (1) ensure that response centers are manned, (2) ensure that monitoring teams are dispatched, (3) ensure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious, (4) provide current information for and 1SU!tat:1on with offsite and public, provide updates for the public Where radiological releases the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses will exceed 100 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE), 500 mRem CDE Thyroid, 100 mRem/hr external exposure rate, or 500 mRem/hr Thyroid Exposure Rate (for one hour of inhalation).

General Emergency (GE)
A General Emergency indicates events are in progress or have occurred which involved 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 for more than the immediate site area.
The purpose of the General Emergency is to (1) initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, (2) provide continuous assessment of information from licensee and offsite organization measurements, (3) initiate additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, (4) provide consultation with offsite authorities, and (5) provide updates for the public through offsite authorities.
Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses could exceed 1000 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEOE) and 5000 mRem CDE Thyroid,.1000 mRem/hr External Exposure Rate, or 5000mRem/hrThyroid Exposure Rate (for one hour of inhalation).
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:
a) Initiation of activation of the Emergency Response Organization which would staff of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and the Joint Information Center; b) Notification of State and local offsite authorities within 15 minutes of classifying the event; c) Prompt notification of the NRC (not to exceed one hour);
d) Continued Assessment and response as necessary; e) Dispatch of field monitoring teams and associated communications; f) An individual is provided for plant status updates to offsite authorities and periodic news media briefings (perhaps joint with offsite authorities);
g) Senior technical and management staff on-site are made available for consultation with NRC and State on a periodic basis; h) Meteorological and dose estimates are provided to offsite authorities for actual releases; i) Release and dose projections based on available plant condition information and foreseeable contingencies are performed and provided to offsite authorities; j) Accountability process is initiated; D-5 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243072
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan k) Close out by briefing of offsite authorities at Emergency Operations Facility and by phone followed by written summary within eight hours of closeout.
State and local offsite authorities would as directed by their respective Emergency Plans:
a) Provide any assistance requested; b) Activate immediate public notification of emergency status and provide public periodic updates; c) Recommend, as a minimum, sheltering for 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind and assess need to extend distances; consider advisability of evacuation (projected time available vs. Estimated evacuation times);
d) Augment resources by activating EOC's and any other primary response centers; e) Dispatch key emergency personnel including monitoring teams and establish associated communications; f) Dispatch other emergency personnel to duty stations within 5 mile radius and alert all others to standby status; g) Provide offsite monitoring results to licensee, DOE and others and jointly assess them; h) Continuously assess information from licensee and offsite monitoring teams with regard to changes to protective actions; i) Recommend placing milk animals within 10 miles on stored feed and assess need to extend distance; j) Provide news media briefings, perhaps with a licensee; k) Maintain General Emergency status until closeout.
D-6 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243073
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Classification Downgrading The indian Point policy on Classification downgrading is as follows:
All events once declared shall remain in effect until: 1. Such time as conditions warrant termination of the event and entry into the Recovery Phase or 2. the event is re-classified at a higher level.
- 2. Emergency Action Levels:
The postulated accidents analyzed in each units' Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR),
the example initiating conditions found in Appendix 1 to NUREG 0654-REV 1 and NUMARC/NESP-007 "Methodology for development of Emergency Action Levels" were evaluated to establish an emergency classification and emergency action level scheme. NUMARC/NESP-007 has been accepted by the NRC as an alternative to NUREG-0654-REV 1 and forms the basis of the Indian Point emergency classification scheme. The results of this are presented in nine categories of EALs, which show the parameters for establishing each emergency classification.
The specific instruments, parameters or equipment statuses that identify the overall severity of the emergency condition and the actions to be taken by the facility staff are identified in the plant emergency plan implementing procedures. The Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are grouped into nine categories to simplify their presentation and promote a rapid understanding by their users. (See Table 0-1 for example initiating conditions of each category). These categories are:
(1) Critical Safety Functions Status Trees (CSFST) Status (2) Reactor Fuel (3) Reactor Coolant System (4) Containment (5) Radioactivity Release/Area Radiation (6) Electrical Failures (7) Equipment Failures (8) Hazards (9) Other Categories one through are primarily symptom based. are or or Categories six, seven and eight are event based. Electrical Failures are those events associated with losses of either AC or vital DC electrical power. Equipment Failures are abnormal and emergency events associated with vital plant system failures, while hazards are those non-plant system related events, which have affected or may affect plant safety.
D-7 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243074
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Category nine provides the Emergency Director (ED) or Shift Manager (SM) the latitude to classify and declare emergencies based on plant symptoms or events, which in his judgement warrants classification. This judgement includes evaluation of loss or potential loss of one or more fission product barriers warranting emergency classification consistent with the NUMARC barrier loss criteria.
Table D-1, Description of Emergency Action Levels, provides a further breakdown of the types events and parameter values and equipment status, which would cause the emergency, plan to be implemented. The detailed emergency action levels are provided in an emergency plan implementing procedure.
- 3. Offsite Classification Systems:
Indian Point works with the State of New York and local authorities to ensure consistency between classification schemes. The content of the Emergency Action Levels is reviewed with the State and local authorities on an annual basis.
- 4. Offsite Emergency Procedures:
Indian Point works with the State of New York and local authorities to ensure that procedures are in place that provide for emergency actions to be taken which are consistent with the protective actions recommended by Indian Point accounting for local offsite conditions that exist at the time of the emergency.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion 11.8.5 states that the "licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency". The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It is Entergy's intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Entergy realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations' staff, possible adverse weather conditions and road congestion, these time frames might be exceeded.
These time frames may also be exceeded during a Security event.
ERO members who are away from the site when an event is declared are notified via pager and/or phone calls. Pagers are activated either as a group or individually. An automated notification system makes individual calls to members of the ERO. Once notified, ERO members respond to their assigned facilities immediately.
Mobilization of federal, state, and county response organizations is performed in accordance with their applicable emergency plan and procedures. At a minimum, mobilization of federal response organizations and activation of state and county EOCs is expected to occur at the declaration of an Alert.
The state and county authorities are responsible for the process of notification of the general public.
- 3. Initial Notification:
An Initial Notification using Part I of the New York State Radiological Emergency Data Form shall be used to transmit information to appropriate State and local agencies within fifteen (15) minutes of any of the following:

AS and 81 - 83). In cooperation with offsite agencies Entergy personnel test the system periodically. System testing and preventive maintenance requirements include those specified in Section IVJI: A6 and C4 - C5 of the Order. Any system discrepancies are promptly repaired.
The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is composed of 172 sirens and the RECS phone for the US Military Academy. These are augmented with individual alerting devices for special facilities.
The sirens are electronic. They are activated from each County EOC or Warning Point via simultaneous radio and TCP/IP signals. The county EOCs and Warning Points and IPEC have the same capability for siren activation.
The system design consists of 172 sirens with a distribution as follows:
- Westchester 77
- Rockland 56
- Orange 23
- Putnam 16 Periodic testing and maintenance of the ANS is performed in accordance with approved procedures. Periodic testing includes:
- Bi-weekly silent test - intended to check computer equipment, radio transmitter/repeater and siren receiver.
- Quarterly growl test - intended to test the siren sub-system from receiver antenna to siren (satisfies the requirement the bi-weekly silent test).
- Annual activation test - intended to test the actuation and operation of the system (satisfies the requirements of the bi-weekly silent test) at full volume for a period of approximately 3 - 5 minutes.
E-7 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243091
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Tone Alert Radios are distributed within the 10-mile EPZ to augment siren alerting for institutions and are provided to residents when requested. On an annual basis, guidance is provided on the use and testing of the tone alert radios.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section 1: Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Indian Point Energy Center, diligent accident assessment efforts are required throughout the emergency. All four emergency classifications have similar assessment methods, however, each classification requires a greater magnitude of assessment effort dependent upon the plant symptoms and/or initiating event(s).
In the case of a Notification of Unusual Event, the assessment and coordination of efforts are handled through the Control Room, with additional support as identified by the Shift Manager. During Alert, Site Area and General Emergencies the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility are activated.
Technical Support Center personnel assist the watch personnel in the assessment of the accident and recommend appropriate steps to mitigate the accident. The Operations Support Center assists with in field inspections of plant equipment. The Emergency Operations Facility personnel continue the evaluation of offsite consequences started by the Shift Manager. The Emergency Operations Facility, when activated, maintains contact with the Control Room and contact with the offsite agencies, and then provides an overview of the assessment actions taken at various classifications levels as follows:
Notification of Unusual Event The existence of conditions which would be classified under this heading is brought to the attention of Control Room Operators by (a) meteorological reports, (b) indications and alarms in the Control Room monitoring plant parameters, (c) indications from fire, seismic or security detection systems, or (d) observations by plant personnel.
Depending upon the particular circumstances of the event, the Shift Manager takes one or more of the following actions to assess the severity of the situation: request clarification and periodic update of meteorological information received from offsite source; monitor Control Room indications more closely; request the plant security force to investigate the matter further and report their findings; dispatch member(s) of the watch force to personally inspect areas of the plant; request assistance from the plant operations staff and/or Entergy's Engineering Departments in evaluating data; and make personnel observations (e.g. assessing the intensity and extent of fire). With regard to accidental releases of radioactivity within plant buildings, the Shift Manager would evaluate the alarm received with respect to other radiation monitors and process instrumentation readouts in the Room. Radiation Protection personnel could be sent the affected plant 1-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243114
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Alert For emergency situations that are classified as Alerts, the Shift Manager/Emergency Director evaluates information available in the Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and status of safeguards equipment.
The Shift Manager or Plant Operations Manager, acting as the Emergency Director at the start of the emergency, and the on call Emergency Director after taking over control at the Emergency Operations Facility, will continually direct assessment of the relative condition of the three fission product barriers and radiological conditions onsite and offsite.
During Alerts with radiological concerns, radiological assessment actions are initiated as described under the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency part of this section.
Site Area Emergency and General Emergency For emergency situations that are classified as Site Area Emergencies or General Emergencies, the Shift Manager/Emergency Director evaluates information available in the Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and the status of safeguards equipment.
An immediate assessment of the projected exposure to the offsite populace is made by using Dose Assessment Computer Programs or by using an Implementation Procedure which includes determining a source term, release rate, radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment and projected exposure to the whole body and thyroid of individuals exposed to the plume. The specifics of these are as follows:
The source term is determined from the R-25 and R-26 accident monitor instruments, indicating radioactivity in the containment building released from the reactor core.
- The release rate is determined from the Plant Vent Monitor, Air Ejector Monitor or the Main Steam Line Monitors. Should the plant vent monitors read off-scale or be inoperable, contact field measurements are taken on the plant vent and a procedure is available to convert the mR!hr reading to an equivalent radioactive concentration for noble gases and radioiodine.
- The radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment are determined first by calculation and then by actual measurement. The calculations are done by computer or by hand, utilizing the Implementation Procedures.
? The calculation is performed using an equation that utilizes the release rate, dilution factor and wind speed. dilution factor is obtained from a table the computer procedure to
- .. Measurements are made by offsite monitoring teams go to selected points and perform field surveys and air sampling. The air samples are counted and the activity calculated.
1-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243115
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- The projected thyroid exposures are obtained from calculations that convert radioactive concentrations to mRem/hour and measurements taken in the field. Whole body exposures are as indicated by the field surveys.
The assessment information is disseminated to the New York State Office of Emergency Management and to the Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Orange County Emergency Management Offices.
This assessment is updated based on air sampling and field surveys performed by offsite monitoring teams using radio and cell phone equipped vehicles under the direction of the Emergency Director. The area within a 10-mile EPZ is divided into 16 equal22% 0 sectors.
In each sector, Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) has been installed at strategic locations.
A number of strategically located continuous air sampling sites may also be used to evaluate the exposure for the population at large.
The Emergency Director transmits updated information to the New York State Office of Emergency Management and the Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange County Emergency Management Offices.
Radioactive contamination assessment is performed after a release is terminated. The ongoing Indian Point Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program described in the ODCM is utilized to determine the extent of contamination.
Radiological assessment personnel in accordance with an implementation procedure calculate total population dose. This calculation and others utilize established demographic information in combination with the DLR, bioassays, and projected dose distributions to obtain total population exposure within the ten-mile EPZ.
- 1. Plant Parameters and Corresponding Emergency Classification
- a. Plant system and effluent parameter values are utilized in the determination of accident severity and subsequent emergency classification. Environmental and meteorological events are also determining factors in emergency classification.
- b. An emergency condition can be the result of just one parameter or condition change, or the combination of several. The specific symptoms, parameter values or events for each level of emergency classification are detailed in the Indian Point Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
- c. In order to adequately assess the emergency condition, each emergency facility has the necessary equipment and instrumentation installed make available essential plant information on a basis. The types of instrumentation and are Section H of the Emergency Plan.
1-3 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243116
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Onsite Accident Assessment Capabilities In addition to normal plant monitoring systems and procedures, the following systems are provided for accident assessment:
- a. Sampling System Plant design includes the capability to sample the reactor coolant system, the discharge of the recirculation and residual heat removal pumps, and the containment atmosphere.
Facilities for the radiation protection and chemistry groups include laboratory and calibration rooms for both conventional and radio chemical analyses.
- b. Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors Indian Point has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of inplant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PRM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow inplant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring local hand-held meter surveys. This information may be used, initially, to aid in the determination of plant area accessibility. The Process Radiation Monitors provide an immediate indication ofa radiological release of effluents. The Process Radiation Monitor readings can be used as an input into the dose assessment programs (computer programs) that display the projected whole body and child thyroid exposures to the populace in the plume exposure pathway.
- c. Containment Radiation Monitors and Hydrogen Monitor Containment Radiation Monitors and/or Hydrogen Monitors along with Core Exit Thermocouples may provide an early indication of core damage. These monitor readings are utilized as a method for core damage determination. This is accomplished through use of established procedures based on Westinghouse Owners Group guidance. The core damage estimate obtained from the procedures may also be used to confirm the core damage results obtained through isotopic analysis. These monitors also allow for the evaluation of a potential radiological release.
- 3. Release Source Term Determination
- a. The potential for release of radioactive material and the magnitude of the release can be assessed through use the Containment Radiation Monitors and Process r.nir~ir\rn.,nt Monitoring System readings can be used to estimate
- b. If a liquid or gaseous release occurs, the routine or high range process monitors will indicate the release rate. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.
Radiation monitors are located as described in the U2 & U3 FSARs. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use a
1-4 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243117
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 4. Effluent Monitor Data and Dose Assessment The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates is accomplished through use of the dose assessment computer codes. These programs allow for the direct input of effluent monitor and meteorological data. The computer will generate release rates, projected dose rates and doses to the whole body and thyroid as well as downwind noble gas and particulate concentrations via the plume exposure pathway. Dose projections may also be performed without the use of a computer through a series of hand calculations. Indian Point uses ground releases to conduct dose assessment.
Entergy has procured and installed computer based systems, which are capable of:
- a. Calculating the dispersion path of radioactive material if released to the atmosphere by the plant;
- b. Obtaining meteorological information from a primary and backup meteorological tower, thus providing assurance that basic meteorological information is available during and immediately following on accidental airborne radioactivity release;
- c. Calculating the radiological consequences of accidental radioactive releases to the atmosphere;
- d. Providing simultaneous real-time meteorological data for estimation of transport and diffusion estimates of a release in the vicinity of the site. This information is available to the licensee, offsite emergency response organizations and the NRC Staff, via telephone computer access;
- e. Obtaining additional radiological and meteorological inputs that assist in defining the site generated dispersion path calculations.
In addition each unit has a computer program which performs the hand calculations outlined in the implementing procedures.
- 5. Meteorological Information:
Meteorological data are available from the station meteorological tower. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, stability class (Pasquill). These data are utilized by the utility, Counties, State and NRC to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion Section H.9 provides more details on the Meteorological Monitoring System.
If during an actual release, via an unmonitored flow path or situations in which effluent monitors are either off scale or inoperative, dose projections can be made through use of actual sample data and/or field monitor team readings.

- 4. Assembly & Evacuation:
Relocation outside the Protected Area and/or evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments.
Non-essential personnel (personnel not assigned emergency response functions, contractors and visitors) are directed to assemble at pre-designated assembly areas at the Alert or higher classification. The primary assembly areas are the Indian Point Generation Support Building (GSB) and the Energy Education Center (EEC). The Indian Point Training Center serves as the back-up assembly area and could be used during periods of high volume, such as an outage. Personnel assigned emergency response functions respond to their assigned emergency facilities.
Evacuation I release of non-essential Indian Point personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The Emergency Director may release personnel at a lower classification.
- 5. Accountability:
At the declaration of an Alert, all personnel are relocated from within the Protected Area. At a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency all individuals within the Protected Area are accounted for and the names of missing individuals are ascertained within 30 minutes of sounding the Site Assembly Alarm. Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event, unless conditions allow suspension in the later stages of the event. Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated.
Accountability is coordinated between the OSC Manager and the Lead Accountability Officer. The results are forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager and/or Emergency Director.
Accountability could be suspended if movement of personnel would place them more danger than leaving them in place, such as outside weather conditions or security Personnel who are assembled outside the Protected area are given further instructions. These instructions may include sheltering in place, evacuation or, individuals may be requested to assist the ERO in accident mitigation.
If site evacuation is called for, Security will sweep all onsite areas outside the Protected Area and verify all personnel have evacuated or been released.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel:
The station maintains an inventory of respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, and radioprotective drugs that are made available to emergency workers remaining onsite should conditions warrant.
- a. Assembly areas and evacuation routes are described in the Implementing Procedures. Assembly areas are located to assure that personnel are not in the path of the plume. Each assembly area has a telephone. The assembly areas (GSB, EEC, and IPEC Training Building) are within the range of the plant paging system.
- b. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) and full-face respirators are used as the primary method of respiratory protection in an emergency. Emergency response personnel use SCBAs in any environment involving exposure to high-level gaseous activity or oxygen deficient atmosphere, or where air quality is in doubt. In the presence of airborne particulates, emergency response personnel may be directed by Radiation Protection personnel to use full-face fitter type respirators.
- c. Anti-contamination clothing, located in the Operations Support Center (OSC) lockers, is available for use by onsite personnel entering areas of plant with known or unknown contamination.
- d. The use of thyroid-blocking Potassium Iodide (KI) may be recommended at 5 Rem CDE child thyroid or when a General Emergency condition initiates the recommendation to State and Counties to implement Kl Program. This is a lower value than specified by EPA 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents". A supply of Kl is maintained in the Emergency Response Facilities. Procedures are in place for the use of these agents by emergency response personnel. Administration of such agents may be authorized only by the Emergency Director or by the Emergency Plant Manager.
- e. Precautions shall be taken to prevent the contamination of drinking water and food supplies by using bottled water and packaged foods.
- 7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public:
Plant conditions, projected whole body gamma and thyroid doses, and/or field data are evaluated develop protective recommendations for are on Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R-92-001 - "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents".
Protective action recommendations are made directly to the State and local agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within recommendations.
J-3 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243123
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Recommendations issued by Indian Point at a General Emergency based on plant conditions include as a minimum, evacuation in the two (2) mile radius and five (5) miles downwind and advising the remainder of the EPZ population to shelter and listen to EAS.
- 8. Evacuation Time Estimates:
An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, of the time required to evacuate commercial, resident and transient populations (see Appendix 5).
- 9. Protective Measure Implementation:
State and local agencies are responsible for implementing offsite protective actions.
These actions are included in the State and County Emergency Plans. Entergy is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the offsite authorities.
- 10. Factors Affecting Protective Measure Implementation The State, and County emergency plans used to implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
- a. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation Protective Action Areas, reception centers in host areas, and congregate care centers have been developed as part of the state and local plans. Pre-selected sampling and monitoring points have also been identified.
- b. The population distribution around Indian Point Energy Center is presented in the Evacuation Time Estimate.
- c. Section E of this plan describes how offsite agencies are notified in the event the Emergency Plan is activated. State and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure EPZ.
- d. State and local organizations have the capability to protect those persons where mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement At the time of an emergency, transportation requirement of special needs persons (including mobility impaired) is verified. Mobility impaired be notified of a protective action the Alert System
- e. adequate supply of potassium iodide (KI) is available special facility staff and patients/residents where immediate evacuation would be life threatening. Authority for use of radioprotective drugs rests with the NY Health Department.
J-4 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243124
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- f. State and local organization plans include the method by which decisions are made for administering radioprotective drugs to emergency workers. The distribution of radioprotective drugs to the general public has been authorized by the State. Each individual County's Emergency Plan addresses Pre and Post distribution of Radioprotective drugs.
- g. State and local organizations have the capability of providing a means of relocation for the general population. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, driving out of the EPZ using designated evacuation routes. Transportation dependent persons will be instructed through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to go to a pickup point or bus route for transportation to a reception center.
- h. State and local organizations are capable of providing reception centers in host areas that are beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.
- i. Projected traffic capacities have been determined for evacuation routes under emergency conditions. Section 4 of the Evacuation Time Estimate provides discussion regarding capacity.
- j. Federal, State and local organizations have the responsibility for the control of access to evacuated areas. Personnel from New York State Police and local police departments' staff access control points. The New York Highway Department and local public works departments provide necessary equipment to support access control. The U.S. Coast guard would assist in patrolling the Hudson River areas.
- k. Potential impediments to the use of evacuation routes and contingency measures for such impediments have been identified in local emergency plans.
I. Time estimates for evacuation of various groupings of Protective Action Areas have been performed, under various conditions for the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.
- m. The basis for dose driven protective action recommendations are as follows:
- If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs and timely evacuation is feasible, then evacuation is recommended. If timely evacuation is not feasible, (i.e. time required for mobilization, warning and evacuation transit is greater than time before plume arrival}, then State authorities may direct sheltering in place.
- Additionally, if the sheltering dose exceeds the PAG but is less than the projected evacuation dose, then sheltering is considered. A shielding factor of 0.9 is conservatively assumed in the calculation of the sheltering dose. This factor (from SANDIA 725) represents the shielding afforded by a wood is authorities.
J-5 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243125
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan 11.1ngestion Pathway Protective Measures:
The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
- 12. Monitoring of Evacuees:
The State and local organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers at host communities. This capability includes personnel and equipment capable of monitoring residents and transients evacuating from the plume exposure EPZ and arriving at the reception centers, in accordance with FEMA guidelines.
J-6 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243126
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section K: Radiological Exposure Control This section of the plan describes the means for controlling emergency worker radiological exposures during an emergency, as well as the measures that are used by Entergy to provide necessary assistance to persons injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive materials. Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides, EPA 400-R-92-001.
The general guideline for emergency personnel exposure will be to keep it as low as reasonably achievable.
- 1. Emergency Exposure Guidelines:
Radiation exposure in an emergency is controlled taking every reasonable effort to minimize exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of 10CFR20 limits. Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to the general public, or the prevention of damage to critical equipment may be sufficient cause for above normal exposures. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency activities:
Dose Limit Activity Condition (Rem TEDE) 0-5 All Personnel may be kept within normal 10 CFR 20 occupational limits during declared emergencies or an emergency exposure up to 5 Rem may be authorized for members of the ERO.
5-10 Protecting valuable Lower dose not practicable.
property Must be authorized on individual bases.
10-25 Lifesaving or protection of Lower dose not practicable.
large populations Must be authorized on individual bases.
> 25 Lifesaving or protection of Only on a voluntary basis to persons fully large populations aware of the risks involved.
Must be authorized on individual bases.
it dose to the lens the eye 3 times the above values and doses to any er organ (including skin and body extremities) to 10 times the above limits.
Any emergency response action requiring greater exposure than 10CFR20 limits should be limited to only volunteers. Individuals over forty-five years of age are considered first. Females of childbearing age shall not be permitted to receive exposures in excess of 10CFR20 limits.
K-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243127
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Emergency Radiological Control Program:
The Radiological Assessment Coordinator (EOF) and the Radiation Protection Coordinator (OSC) ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions, that exposure accountability is maintained, and that personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated. Plan implementing procedures detail the emergency radiological controls utilized during emergencies.
Radiation protection guidelines during emergencies include the following:
- 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.
- In the context of the emergency limits, exposure of workers that is incurred for the protection of large populations may be considered justified for situations in which the collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred by the workers involved.
- Exposure accountability is maintained and proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions.
- Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Radiation Protection Coordinator, and personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated.
- Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the facility is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize exposure to radiation and radioactive materials.
Alternate assembly areas are established, as necessary, to relocate and monitor evacuated personnel.
Kl shall be used in accordance with New York State Policy for issuance of Potassium Iodide. If the risk of using Kl outweighs the benefit, Kl may not be issued. Kl is stored in onsite Emergency Response Facilities.
K-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243128
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 3. Personnel Monitoring
- a. If abnormal radiological conditions exist outside the Radiologically Control Area (RCA), exposure to emergency response personnel not issued Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) badges will be tracked by use of surveys and time spent in radiation areas.
- b. Workers who would be expected to enter the RCA are trained and issued DLR Badges. In addition to these badges, dosimetry devices will be issued, high range or electronic dosimeters and/or alarming self-indicating dosimetry, are used to monitor emergency workers exposure during an accident The capability exists for the emergency processing of DLRs on a 24-hour per day basis, if necessary.
Emergency workers are instructed to read self-indicating dosimeters frequently, and DLRs may be processed with increased periodicity.
- c. Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with one or more Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Radiation Protection Procedures.
- 4. Non-Entergy Personnel Exposure Authorization:
The responsibility for authorizing non-Entergy emergency workers (i.e. State and local agency emergency workers) to receive exposures in excess of the EPA General Public Protective Action Guides rests with the State and local organization, except when such emergency workers are onsite. Authorization of exposures in excess of EPA General Public Protective Action Guides, in this latter instance, rests with the Emergency Director or the Emergency Plant Manager in conjunction with Incident Response Team Leaders (such as the Fire Department, Police or Medical teams sent to the site).
- 5. Decontamination and First Aid
- a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by Radiation Protection Coordinator or the radiological Assessment Coordinator should conditions warrant.
- b. Decontamination materials and portable first-aid kits are stored within the Protected Area and at the EOF I Warehouse Complex. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination is initially treated by an on-shift first responder or EMT if available. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries such as extensive burns, serious wounds or fractures, in preference to decontamination. If is to movement If decontamination is impractical, patient is covered a manner as to minimize the spread of contamination until medical aid can be obtained or the patient can be hospitalized.
K-3 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243129
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The Verplanck Fire Department ambulance is the primary provider of prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, if a Radiation Protection Technician (RP) is available, then one will be assigned to accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance and hospital personnel.
Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the Hudson Valley Hospital Center (primary), to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center (1st backup) or another equipped medical faciHty.
Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle radiologically contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. Radiation Protection personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.
- 6. Contamination Control Measures
- a. Areas in the plant found to be contaminated are isolated as restricted areas with appropriate radiological protection and access control as directed by the Radiation Protection Coordinator.
- b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination from restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in all Emergency Response facilities until such time as habitability surveys indicate that such activities are permissible.
- c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use when contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
- 7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel:
Non-essential onsite personnel are released from the Protected Area during an emergency, if radiological concerns occur. Radiation Protection personnel and/or portal monitors are used to monitor evacuees and decontamination is performed, as needed. Existing and temporary facilities to limit contamination and exposure will be utilized and estabfished at the site as necessary during an emergency situation. In the event that decontamination of locally is not will be a
extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminates are available.

L-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243132
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section M: Re-entry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for re-entry into the areas of Indian Point Energy Center that have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the Indian Point Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.
- 1. Re-entry and Recovery:
Re-entry During an emergency, immediate actions are directed toward limiting the consequences of the accident, so as to afford maximum protection to Station personnel and the general public. Once corrective measures have been taken and effective control of the plant has been re-established, a more methodical approach to re-entry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides re-entry into two separate categories:
- Re-entry during the emergency phase of an accident is performed to save a life, control a release of radioactive material, prevent further damage to plant equipment or restore plant equipment. If necessary, this category of re-entry may be performed using emergency exposure limits. Briefings and emergency forms, rather than written radiation protection procedures, operating procedures and maintenance procedures can be used when making these entries.
The Shift Manager and/or the Control Room Supervisor direct re-entry activities prior to activation of the Emergency Facilities. Once the TSC/OSC has been activated, all re-entry activities conducted during the emergency are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager (EPM) and coordinated through the Operations Support Center.
- Re-entry during the recovery phase is performed using normal exposure limits.
Either normal procedures or procedures developed specifically for each re-entry are utilized.
The Site Recovery Director or the station's normal management organization oversees the re-entry. Generally, site problems are addressed first to make the site tenable for workers, with a series of radiation surveys to establish accessibility and then steps are taken restore the station to normal operations.
All data gathered from re-entry operations and additional information developed the various technical support groups will be assessed.
The plan is to return plant conditions to within Technical Specification limits and it may include detailed schedules, specialized equipment and personnel, preparing procedures for decontamination, processing highly radioactive water, repairing equipment, and purchasing equipment. A station nuclear safety/review committee reviews and approves recovery operations in accordance with its charter and the Technical Specifications.
M-1 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243133
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Recovery:
Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. Radiation exposure to personnel involved in the recovery will be kept at a minimum and within the stated limits of 10 CFR 20. Radiation areas will be roped off and posted with warning signs indicating radiation levels and permissible entry times based on survey results. Access to these areas will be controlled, and exposures to personnel entering such areas documented. Shielding will be employed to the fullest extent possible. Survey results, interviews of individuals with direct knowledge of recent conditions in the affected area(s) and all other pertinent information collected from logs and other records or indicators in the Control Room and in the Emergency Operations Facility may be used to evaluate the advisability and the timing of re-entry to affected areas.
The Emergency Director, after consulting with the EOF Manager, Company Spokesperson, the Emergency Plant Manager and the Plant Operations Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the station is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:
- Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? If so, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
- Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
- 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.
- In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
- The potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
- The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available and adequate. is no foreseeable danger losing heat
- Containment pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
- Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
- All required notifications have been made .
has been reached to terminate the emergency.
M-2 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243134
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
- Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
- Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.
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 severe accidents that some conditions remain which exceed an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.
- 2. Recovery Organization Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the Indian Point Recovery Organization is determined.
- For events of a minor nature, (i.e. for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
- For events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (i.e. for ALERT classifications) the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal Station organization.
- For events involving major damage to systems required to maintain safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the Indian Point and Corporate Support Manager is put in place.
The specific members of the Indian Point Recovery organization are selected based on the sequence of events that preceded the recovery activities as well as the requirements of the recovery phase. The basic framework of the Indian Point Recovery Organization is as follows:
- a. The Corporate Support Manager is responsible for:
- Ensuring adequate corporate support maintain Indian a
- Ensuring Site Recovery Director is aware of Entergy Corporate goals and expectations for recovery of IPEC after an event;
- Ensuring adequate support to the site to carry out recovery activities; M-3 Revision 11-00 IPEC00243135

A specific instruction for the development of a Recovery Plan is provided in an Implementing Procedure;
- Deactivating any of the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization that was retained to aid in recovery, in the appropriate manner. Depending upon the type of accident and the onsite and offsite effects of the accident, portions of the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization may remain in place after initiation of the recovery phase;
- Coordinating the integration of available Federal and State assistance into onsite recovery activities;
- Coordinating the integration of Indian Point support with Federal, State and local authorities into required offsite recovery activities;
- Verifying and approving information released by the public information organization that pertains to the emergency or the recovery phase of the accident;
- Maintaining a record/log of specific recovery actions taken.
- Working with senior company management in providing for assistance to Entergy Employees affected by the event; and
- Determining when the recovery phase is terminated. Recovery will be terminated when actions identified in the Recovery Plan have been completed.
- c. The Onsite Recovery Manager reports to the Site Recovery Director and is responsible
- Coordinating the development and implementation the plan procedures;
- Directing all onsite activities in support of the recovery of Indian Point; and
- Designating other Indian Point recovery positions required in support of onsite recovery activities.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section N: Drill and Exercise Program This section describes the Drill and Exercise Program that Entergy has implemented to:
- Verify the adequacy of the Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Preparedness Program.
- Develop, maintain and evaluate the capabilities of the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization to respond to emergency conditions and safeguard the health and safety of Station personnel and the general public.
- Identify deficiencies in the Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan and the associated procedures, or in the training of response personnel, and ensure that they are promptly corrected.
- Ensure the continued adequacy of emergency facilities, supplies and equipment, including communications networks.
- 1. Exercises
- a. Federally prescribed Exercises are conducted biennially, which involve implementation of the participants' emergency plan(s) and activation of major portions of participating emergency organizations. Where full participation by offsite agencies occurs, the sequence of events simulates an emergency that results in the release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. Offsite agencies involved in the planning effort for an emergency at the station shall be invited to participate at least every two years. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis is placed on development and conduct of an exercise that is more mechanistically and operationally realistic. Players will be able, by implementing appropriate procedures and corrective actions, to determine the outcome of the scenario to a greater extent than when core damage and the release of radioactivity are prerequisites for demonstration of all objectives.
- b. Exercises provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions. In accordance with the Indian Point Six-Year Plan (maintained accordance with a are ensure that major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness program are demonstrated at least once in each six*year period. At least one exercise every six years is started between 6:00 pm and 4:00am. Exercises are scheduled to be conducted at different times of the year. An unannounced drill/exercise is included in the Six-Year Plan.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Drills:
In addition to the exercises described above, Indian Point conducts drills for the purpose of training, testing, developing and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders. Drills and/or surveillance tests are conducted at the Indian Point Energy Center for the following:
- a. Communication Drills or Surveillance Tests:
- Monthly: The Radiological Emergency Communication System (RECS) link between the Control Room, EOF/AEOF and the State and four county Warning Points will be tested.
- Monthly: The Emergency Notification System with the NRC will be tested.
- Quarterly: The telephone links with Federal response organizations (i.e.,
Department of Energy Radiological Assistance Program) and County governments within the ingestion pathways will be tested. These links are normally tested by the State.
- Quarterly: The radio communication link between the Emergency Operations Facility, the Control Room and with the offsite survey team vehicles wilf be tested.
- Quarterly: The emergency communications links between facilities will be operationally checked (onsite and offsite facilities.)
Each of these drills or tests includes provisions to ensure that all participants in the test are able to understand the content of the messages (e.g. by requesting repeat-backs of information or verification of message transmittal forms).
Communications systems are also tested during the conduct of training drills and annual exercises. Any discrepancy is noted and actions are initiated to correct problems as soon as possible.
- b. Fire Drills: Drills for the Indian Point Fire Brigade are conducted in accordance with Technical Specifications and Station procedures.
- c. Medical Emergency Drills: a medical emergency involving a simulated contaminated individual in which the operations personnel, the hospital, site first-aid team, radiation protection personnel and security force participate is conducted annually at each unit Radiological Monitoring Team annually environmental sample media (e.g. water, snow, vegetation, monitoring of radiological conditions outside the Indian Point Protected These drills include provisions for communications and record keeping.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS I. INTRODUCTION Evacuation planning is based on the identification of both the population to be evacuated and the transportation resources required to accomplish the task. These are the essential data around which the Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) is built. Because the population in the areas to be evacuated can vary with the time of day, the day of the week, the seasons and other factors, a set of fourteen time-based scenarios has been developed for use in the ETE.
These scenarios, prepared for both fair and adverse weather conditions, address variations in the general population, employee population, transient population and special facilities (e.g., schools, nursing homes, hospitals, and recreation areas). The fourteen evacuation scenarios are:
Scenario Season DayofWeek Time of Day Weather Special 1 Summer Midweek Midday Good ~None 2 Summer Midweek Midday Rain None 3 Summer Weekend Midday Good None 4 Summer Weekend Midday Rain None 5 Summer ' Midweek, Evening Good None Weekend 6 Winter Midweek Midday Good None 7 Winter Midweek Midday Rain None 8 Winter Midweek Midday Snow None 9 I Winter Weekend Midday Good None 10 Winter Weekend Midday Rain None 11 Winter Weekend Midday I Snow None 12 Winter Midweek, Evening Good .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS The traffic demand and trip-generation rate of evacuating vehicles were estimated from the gathered data. Sources of data include the 2000 Census, New York agencies, county agencies, a telephone survey and special concern facilities. (See Sections 3 and 5 of the ETE for a complete discussion of generation time and traffic demand.) The permanent resident population figures for each of the shown in Table.
Following federal guidelines, the IPEC Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is subdivided into 40Protective Action Areas. The Protective Action Area definitions are provided in this appendix. The new Protective Action Areas have been designed so that each can be defined in terms of well known community names or boundaries. These Protective Action Areas are then grouped to conform with circular areas or "keyhole" configurations (circles plus radial sectors) that define Evacuation Regions for the ETE study. The Evacuation Regions are defined in Appendix A of the ETE Addendum.For each Protective Action Area within the EPZ, primary evacuation routes have been identified. Descriptions of the Protective Action Area and their associated evacuation routes are given in the county plan procedures. Listings and maps of reception centers for each Protective Action Area are also included in the county procedures.
As part of the public education program associated with the implementation of the County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP), the general public will be provided with materials to enable identification of their residential locations within a given Protective Action Area, thus identifying the recommended evacuation route and reception center as well.

EVA(iUAIIQN BQAQWAY TRAVEL TIME ESTIMATI;§ Evacuation travel time estimates by Region for each of the scenarios is presented in Appendix E of the ETE Addendum. An over view of evacuation time estimates for the Protective Action Areas included in the regions defined by the two-mile and five-mile rings and for the full EPZ are provided in Tables 2-A, 2-B and 2-C. These tables also show a comparison of times for 50%, 90%, 95% and 100% of the Protective Action Areas population.
Ill. QESCBIPTfON OF THE EVACUAJION PLAN The evacuation plan comprises four major phases: mobilization, egress, maintenance and re-entry. As a Response Action, the first phase of evacuation--mobilization--may be initiated for an incident classified as an Alert, a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The decision to proceed with the second phase of the plan--egress--will be made as the status of the incident is assessed. The final phases of the plan--
maintenance and re-entry--are applicable only after an evacuation has occurred.
