SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 1 INTRODUCTION Enclosure 5 of the 50.54(f) letter requested licensees to provide the results of an assessment conducted to determine the ability of the emergency response organization (ERO) staff to respond to a large scale natural event. SCEs 60-Day Alternate Response Letter (Reference 3) responded to the 50.54(f) letter, by providing a NRC accepted alternate course of action. The alternate course of action committed SCE to provide an onsite and augmented staffing assessment that considers all functions except those related to Near Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 4.2 (Phase 1 Staffing Assessment). This report provides the results of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Stations (SONGS) Phase 1 Staffing Assessment.
Current staffing levels were assessed to determine the staff required to fill all necessary positions in order to respond to a dual-unit, beyond design basis external event (BDBEE), which results in an extended loss of alternating current (AC) power and impeded access to the site. This assessment includes the numbers and composition of the augmented response personnel required to implement mitigation strategies and repair actions intended to maintain or restore functions of core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling for both units. The Phase 1 staffing assessment considered applicable actions from current station procedures and the Institute of Nuclear Power Event Reports (IER) related to Fukushima actions at the time of the assessment.

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 2 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The following are the results of the assessment conducted to determine the ability of the emergency response organization (ERO) staff to respond to a large scale natural event.
This assessment is based upon a current snapshot of the organization and staffing.
For the on-shift staffing, the phase 1 assessment identified the following:
The current minimum on-shift staffing as defined in the SONGS Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is sufficient to support the implementation of the current station blackout (SBO) strategies on both Units 2 and 3, as well as the required Emergency Plan actions.
The minimum On-Shift Staff performed all actions required by operating and emergency plan procedures in the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> period (prior to arrival of augmented staff) relying only on installed structures, systems and components remaining in the initial phase of the response. Plant conditions did not require any other equipment to be used.
A few enhancements and minor deficiencies were identified during the performance of the time motion study as detailed in section 5.2.2 and were entered in the corrective action program.
For the expanded response capability, the phase 1 assessment identified the following:
The number and composition of staffing necessary to support the Expanded Response Capability for the beyond design basis external event (BDBEE) as defined in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 12-01 (refer to Table 6-2 for the results).
The current SCE staffing resources for the emergency response organization (ERO) are sufficient to implement all required coping strategies as required by the NEI 12-01 guidance and to fill the expanded ERO functions.
The need to establish a process to integrate the Expanded Response Capability into the existing ERO (i.e., put in place the ability and clear criteria to transition to unit-specific performance) in the event of a BDBEE.
The need to evaluate expanding the automatic response process to include the on-shift and pooled ERO positions.
The need to evaluate and identify additional work areas and equipment for the performance of expanded response functions in the event that the alternate TSC and OSC are unavailable.

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report
- Event Mitigation (Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP))
- Emergency Preparedness Functions (NUREG-0654 Table B-1/ISG-01)
Existing strategies for responding to an extended loss of AC power (ELAP) were used in the OSA. The assessment addressed the abilities of the on-shift staff to perform required emergency response functions that may be degraded prior to the delayed arrival of the augmented ERO.
3.2 Expanded ERO Assessment Process The expanded ERO assessment was conducted in accordance with NEI 12-01. NEI 12-01 provided recommended staffing considerations for the postulated event to enable the performance of unit-specific accident assessment and mitigation functions. The capability of the current ERO staffing at SONGS to perform these expanded ERO functions was assessed.
Page 7
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 4 ASSUMPTIONS AND INITIAL CONDITIONS 4.1 Assumptions The Phase 1 staffing study assumptions were based on the guidance provided in NEI 12-01 and NEI 10-05.
4.1.1 NEI 12-01 Assumptions
- 1. A large-scale external event occurs that results in:
All on-site units affected Extended loss of alternating current power Impeded access to the units
- 2. Initially, all on-site reactors are operating at full power and are successfully shut down
- 3. A hostile action directed at the affected site does not occur during the period that the site is responding to the event
- 4. The event impedes site access as follows:
A. Post event time: 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> - No site access. This duration reflects the time necessary to clear roadway obstructions, use different travel routes, mobilize alternate transportation capabilities (i.e., private resource providers or public sector support), etc.
B. Post event time: 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> - Limited site access. Individuals may access the site by walking, personal vehicle or via alternate transportation resources (e.g.,
private resource providers or public sector support).
C. Post event time: 24+ hours - Improved site access. Site access is restored to a near-normal status and/or augmented transportation resources are available to deliver equipment, supplies and large numbers of personnel.
- 5. On-shift personnel are limited to the minimum complement allowed by the site emergency plan (i.e. the minimum required number for each required position). This would typically be the on-shift complement present during a backshift, weekend, or holiday.
- 6. The phase 1 staffing assessment considered the applicable actions from the Station Blackout (SBO) coping strategies in place at the time of the assessment (i.e., shedding of non-essential battery loads, opening room and cabinet doors, etc). These actions did not include those associated with cross-tying AC power sources or electrical distribution busses between units since all on-site units are experiencing an extended loss of AC power.
- 7. Following the accident at Fukushima Daiichi, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) issued three Event Reports (referred to IERs) requiring the assessment and implementation of a range of actions intended to improve the capabilities for responding to a beyond design basis event and an extended loss of AC power, including events that impact the cooling of spent fuel. The phase 1 staffing assessment considered those Page 8
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report IER improvements actions already implemented at the time of the assessment (i.e.,
incorporated into plant procedures).
- 8. The phase 1 staffing assessment considered existing strategies for responding to an extended loss of AC power affecting all on-site units.
4.1.2 NEI 10-05 Assumptions
- 1. On-shift personnel can report to their assigned locations within timeframes sufficient to allow for performance of assigned actions.
- 2. The on-shift staff possesses the necessary Radiation Worker qualifications to obtain normal dosimetry and to enter Radiological Controlled Areas (but not high, locked high or very high radiation areas) without the aid of a Radiation Protection (RP) Technician.
- 3. Personnel assigned to the major response area of Plant Operations & Safe Shutdown meet these requirements and guidance, and are able to satisfactorily perform the functions and tasks necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown.
- 4. The on-site security organization is able to satisfactorily perform all tasks related to Site and Protected Area Access Controls under all event or accident conditions. Performance of this function is regularly analyzed through other station programs and will not be evaluated here, unless a role or function from another major response area is assigned as a collateral duty.
- 5. Individuals holding the position of Radiation Protection Technician or Chemistry Technician are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
- 6. The task of making a simple and brief communication has minimal impact on the ability to perform other assigned functions/tasks, and is therefore an acceptable collateral duty for all positions. This assumption does not apply to notification actions specifically called out in the assessment methodology; these actions must be assessed.
- 7. The task of performing a peer check has minimal impact on the ability to perform other assigned functions/tasks, and is therefore an acceptable collateral duty for all positions.
- 8. The analyzed events occur during off-normal work hours at a time when augmented ERO responders are not at the site (i.e., during a backshift, weekend or holiday). For purposes of this assessment, 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> will be used as the time period for the conduct of the on-shift ERO response actions.
4.1.3 Other Assumptions
- 1. All equipment credited in current coping strategies remains available for use (i.e., a non-seismic water tank).
- 2. For purposes of assessing augmented staffing, it is assumed that the on-shift staff successfully performs all Initial Phase, and any required Transition Phase, coping actions.
- 3. Offsite facilities and staging areas are available.
Page 9
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 4.2 Event Initial Conditions The large scale natural event results in a Site Area Emergency based on Emergency Action Level (EAL) SS1.1, Loss of AC/DC Power Sources, which escalates to a General Emergency based on EAL SG1.1 once it has been determined that power cannot be restored before the coping time has been exceeded. This loss of all AC power scenario impacts both units.
Initial Conditions: Both units 100% power at steady state, middle of core life.
Abnormal Conditions: None Scenario Events: An offsite electrical transient occurs resulting in a loss of all offsite power.
None of the EDGs can be synchronized to any Unit 2 or Unit 3 AC bus, resulting in a dual-unit Loss of all installed AC power.
Notes: This scenario constitutes a dual unit event.
The scenario is designed such that restoration of any AC power source is not possible.
4.3 Scope
- 1. The staffing assessment determined the ability of the on-shift staff to implement Initial Phase coping actions and, consistent with the site access assumption, any Transition Phase actions that must be performed prior to the end of the no site access time period.
Initial Phase - Implementation of strategies that generally rely upon installed plant equipment.
Transition Phase - Implementation of strategies that involve the use of on-site portable equipment and consumables to extend the coping period, and prevent a loss of functions needed for core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling.
Setup for these strategies should be performed prior to the end of the Initial Phase.
- 2. The applicable actions from the Station Blackout (SBO) coping strategies in place at the time of the assessment were evaluated.
Such actions included the shedding of non-essential battery loads, use of portable generators or batteries, opening room and cabinet doors, water/coolant conservation or makeup using portable equipment, etc.
These actions did not include those associated with cross-tying AC power sources or electrical distribution busses between units since all on-site units are experiencing an extended loss of AC power.
- 3. INPO IER improvement actions already implemented at the time of the assessment (i.e., incorporated into plant procedures) were evaluated (refer to Section 4.4). INPO IERs that were considered are:
Page 10
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report IER L1-11-1, Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Station Fuel Damage Caused by Earthquake and Tsunami (including Supplement 1)
IER L1-11-2, Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Station Spent Fuel Pool Loss of Cooling and Makeup IER L1-11-4, Near-Term Actions to Address the Effects of an Extended Loss of All AC Power in Response to the Fukushima Daiichi Event.
- 4. Existing strategies for responding to an extended loss of AC power affecting all on-site units were evaluated.
- 5. The staffing assessment evaluated the ability of the on-shift staff to perform any required emergency response functions that would be degraded or lost prior to the arrival of the augmented ERO.
- 6. Consistent with the site access assumption, the ability of the augmented staff to implement Transition Phase coping strategies performed after the end of the no site access time period was determined.
- 7. The ability of the on-site staff to move back-up equipment (i.e., pumps, generators) from alternate onsite storage facilities to repair locations at each reactor will be evaluated as part of the Phase 2 staffing assessment.
4.4 Applicable IER Actions Response to IER-L1-11-1 included two applicable procedure revisions that govern actions that are performed by the on-shift staff, based on the assumptions of this assessment, and were evaluated during this assessment.
Procedure SO23-12-11, Emergency Operating Instruction (EOI) Supporting Attachments, was revised for additional guidance on non-1E inverter Y005 load shedding. Use of Attachment 19 (Non 1E DC bus load shedding) was included as part of the Phase 1 assessment.
Procedure SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachment 9, was revised to add Unit 3 room numbers. Use of Attachment 9 was included as part of the Phase 1 assessment.
Response to IER-L1-11-2 included three applicable procedure revisions that govern actions that are performed by the on-shift staff, based on the assumptions of this assessment, and were evaluated during this assessment.
Procedure SO23-13-23, Loss of Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) Cooling, was revised to initiate local monitoring of SFP temperature and level via SO23-3-2.11 Attachment 17 if there is a loss of spent fuel pool cooling concurrent with a loss of AC power.
This action was included as part of the Phase 1 assessment.
Procedure SO23-13-23, Loss of Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) Cooling, was revised to perform closure of the SFP hatches in the event of a loss of SFP cooling event.
Although in place at the time of the assessment, the Phase 1 scenario event conditions will not warrant the use of this action in the procedure (ELAP conditions assume that the SFP hatches are closed and the transfer canals are empty).
Page 11
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report Procedure SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments, was revised to contain precautionary statement that SFP Level and Temperature be monitored. Use of SO23-12-11 and the local monitoring of SFP temperature and level via SO23-3-2.11 Attachment 17 were included as part of the Phase 1 assessment.
Procedure SO23-3-2.11, SFP Operations, was revised to include criteria on when to update the SFP Time to Boil Calculation and to provide direction on updating the Control Room placard with this information. These actions was included as part of the Phase 1 assessment.
Response to IER-L1-11-4 included one applicable procedure revision that governs an action that is performed by the on-shift staff, based on the assumptions of this assessment, and were evaluated during this assessment.
Procedure SO23-12-11, EOI ISS2 Extended SBO, was revised to modify the class 1E battery load reduction steps. Use of Attachment 20 was included as part of the Phase 1 assessment.

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 5 ON-SHIFT STAFFING ASSESSMENT 5.1 On-Shift Staffing Assessment Process Details The On-Shift Staffing Assessment (OSA) for SONGS Units 2 and 3 was conducted using the guidance of NEI 12-01 and NEI 10-05. The assessment analyzed the ability of the on-shift staff to perform required emergency response functions that may be degraded or lost prior to the arrival of the augmented ERO.
A cross functional team of subject matter experts from SONGS and an outside consultant were assembled to provide assessment support during the Phase 1 OSA.
The assessment was conducted via tabletop procedural assessment using current site procedures to determine if tasks have been sufficiently analyzed for performance by the minimum on-shift staff as designated in the SONGS Emergency Plan and a subsequent time motion study (TMS) to confirm if any potential overlapping tasks exist. The following provides a summary of the process that was utilized:
5.1.1 On-Shift Staffing Assessment Methodology The guidance and documentation in NEI 10-05 were used to document a review of the on-shift staffing actions relating to an extended loss of AC power. The review documented the times required to complete these tasks as described below:
The minimum on-shift positions were entered into Table 1 of Attachment 1. The Unit number was assigned to duplicate control room position titles. For example, U2 Control Operator or U3 Control Operator etc. Otherwise, a unique sequential number was assigned to position titles with more than one position holder. The site emergency plan reference that describes the requirement for the position to be on-shift was entered into column 2 of Table 1. Using the on-shift positions entered in Table 1, the following Attachment 1 tables were completed by entering the shift position that fills a described role, or performs a specific function or tasks:
Table 2 Minimum Operations Crew Necessary to Implement EOPs (in response to the extended loss of all AC power)
Table 3 Firefighting Table 4 Radiation Protection & Chemistry Timeline of Activities Table 5 Emergency Plan Implementation Following completion of each of the above tables, each on-shift position assigned to the associated table was located on Table 1 of Attachment 1. For each position, the table number and associated line number was then entered in column 5, Role in Table#/Line#. If the associated task was not analyzed (i.e., performance capability has not been validated), a Yes would have been placed in column 6, Unanalyzed Task?
If the task was analyzed, a No was placed in column 6. For any Yes in column 6 or if a potential task overlap exists, a Time Motion Study is required and a Yes placed in column 7. For SONGS, there were four positions with potential task overlaps identified; thus, Time Motion Studies were required to be conducted and are located in Attachment 2.

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report Prior to conducting the OSA, all initial conditions and event assumptions were reviewed for basic understanding of the event. The senior reactor operator (SRO) reviewed EOP and other operating procedure actions and identified them to the team. Other team members, such as the RP and Maintenance, identified functions that would be required of them to support in-plant mitigation activities. All Emergency Plan functions were reviewed and assigned to the appropriate on-shift resources. The resulting on-shift resources and their applicable actions were documented in Table 1 of Attachment 1.
Specific site procedures referenced during assessment of this postulated event included:
SO23-2-13, Diesel Generator Operation SO23-6-9, 6.9kV, 4kV and 480V Bus and Feeder Faults SO23-12-1, Standard Post Trip Actions SO23-12-8, Station Blackout SO23-12-1, Attach 4, Administrative Actions SO23-12-1, Attach 5, Diesel Generator Follow-Up Actions SO23-12-11, EOI Supporting Attachments SO23-12-11, Attach 5, Core Exit Saturation Margin Control SO23-12-11, Attach 6, Diesel Generator Failure Follow-Up Actions SO23-12-11, Attach 8, Restoration of Offsite Power SO23-12-11, Attach 9, Control Building Ventilation Emergency Actions SO23-12-11, Attach 19, Non-1E DC Load Reduction SO23-12-11, Attach 20, Class 1E Battery Load Reduction SO23-13-23, Loss of SFP Cooling SO23-3-2.11, SFP Operations SO123-IV-13.100, Security Tactical Response SO123-0-A2, Operations Division Personnel Responsibilities SO123-0-A7, Notifications and Reporting of Significant Events SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies SO123-VIII-10, Emergency Coordinator Duties SO123-VIII-10.3, Protective Action Recommendations SO123-VIII-30, Units 2/3 Operations Leader Duties SO23-VIII-30.7, Emergency Notifications SO123-VIII-40, TSC Health Physics Leader Duties SO123-VIII-50, TSC Technical Leader Duties SO123-VIII-60, Security leader Duties SO123-VIII-60.1, OSC Security Coordinator Duties SO123-VIII-0.200, Emergency Plan Drills and Exercises Page 16
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report SO123-VIII-0.210, Emergency Planning Drill Objectives and Demonstration Criteria 5.1.5 Time Motion Study Performance of a time motion study is required if there are any unanalyzed tasks or if there are potential task overlaps identified such that the integrated performance of the functions has not been previously analyzed. A time motion study is a performance-based assessment, essentially a drill, which confirms or modifies the results of the OSA.
5.2 On-Shift Staffing Assessment Results Summary The current minimum on-shift staffing as defined in the SONGS Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is sufficient to support the implementation of the current station blackout (SBO) strategies on both Units 2 and 3, as well as the required Emergency Plan actions.
The minimum on-shift staff performed all actions required by operating and emergency plan procedures in the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> period (prior to arrival of augmented staff) relying only on installed structures, systems and components remaining in the initial phase of the response. Plant conditions did not require any other equipment to be used.
A few enhancements and minor deficiencies were identified during the performance of the time motion study as detailed in section 5.2.2 and were entered in the corrective action program.
5.2.1 On-Shift Staffing Task Assessment Results 5.2.1.1 Unanalyzed Task Assessment No unanalyzed tasks were identified for the on-shift positions (see Attachment 1 Table 1 Column 6).
5.2.1.2 Potential Task Overlap Assessment NEI 10-05 assumes that personnel assigned to the major response area of Plant Operations & Safe Shutdown are able to satisfactorily perform the design basis functions and tasks necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown for the period prior to ERO augmentation. This assumption does not apply for the NEI 12-01 study because existing SBO coping strategies include actions that presuppose that the augmented ERO would otherwise be available to perform them; therefore, it is required to have the collective performance of those tasks analyzed and validated by a time motion study.
The results of the task analysis determine that the following four (4) on-shift positions may experience task overlap and meet the requirements for a time motion study:
- 1. Nuclear Plant Equipment Operator (NPEO) #1 was directed to perform EOP and coping tasks during the extended loss of all power (perform U2 Diesel Generator Failure Follow-up Actions per SO23-12-1 Attachment 5, SO23-6-9, and SO23 13 Attachment 2, perform U2 1E DC Bus load reductions in plant per SO23 11 Attachment 20, perform U2 S/G drain closure per SO23-12-8, and perform local monitoring of U2 spent fuel pool level and temperature per SO23-3-2.11 Attachment 17).
Page 17
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report
- 2. Nuclear Plant Equipment Operator (NPEO) #2 was directed to perform EOP and coping tasks during the extended loss of all power (perform U2 Non-1E DC bus load reductions per SO23-12-11 Attachment 19 and perform U2 Control Building Ventilation Emergency Actions to improve ventilation per SO23-12-11 Attachment 9).
- 3. NPEO #3 was directed to perform EOP and coping tasks during the extended loss of all power (perform U3 Diesel Generator Failure Follow-up Actions per SO23-12-1 Attachment 5, SO23-6-9, and SO23-2-13 Attachment 2, perform U3 1E DC Bus load reductions in plant per SO-23-12-11 Attachment 20, perform U3 S/G drain closure per SO23-12-8, and perform local monitoring of U3 spent fuel pool level and temperature per SO23-3-2.11 Attachment 17).
- 4. NPEO #4 was directed to perform EOP and coping tasks during the extended loss of all power (U3 Non-1E DC bus load reductions (perform U3 Non-1E DC bus load reductions per SO23-12-11 Attachment 19 and perform U3 Control Building Ventilation Emergency Actions to improve ventilation per SO23-12-11 Attachment 9).
The Security Watch Commander performed security contingency plan and EP tasks (personnel accountability) during the event. A representative of the Security Department analyzed the tasks assigned to the Security Watch Commander for potential overlap. It was concluded that performance of the EP tasks did not cause an overlap with their security force tasks. Security program commitments are identified in the Site Security Plan and are not specifically documented in this assessment due to their security-sensitive nature. Site security was not tasked with the performance of any Unit 2 or Unit 3 SBO operations related coping strategy activities.
5.2.2 On-Shift Staffing Time Motion Study Results Time motion studies were conducted for the above potential task overlaps identified in section 5.2.1. The studies were performed as separate walkdowns that began and ended in the control room. The time motion study results regarding potential task overlap were as follows (see Attachment 2 for Time Motion Study Tables):
NPEOs #1-4 were directed to perform EOP and coping tasks during the extended loss of all power as indicated in section 5.2.1. No task overlap occurred during the time motion study of the activities for these positions as the tasks could be performed sequentially.
Since all potential task overlaps have been resolved through the performance of a time motion study, it was concluded that the current minimum on-shift staffing as defined in the SONGS Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is sufficient to support the implementation of the current station blackout (SBO) strategies on both Units 2 and 3, as well as the required Emergency Plan actions, with no unacceptable collateral duties.
A few enhancements and minor deficiencies were identified during the performance of the time motion study and were subsequently entered into the corrective action program.

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 6 EXPANDED ERO RESPONSE ASSESSMENT 6.1 Expanded ERO Response Assessment Process Details For purposes of assessing augmented and expanded ERO staffing, it is assumed that the on-shift staff successfully performs all Initial Phase, and any required Transition Phase coping actions. Initial and Transition phase are described as follows:
Initial Phase - Implementation of strategies that generally rely upon installed plant equipment.
Transition Phase - Implementation of strategies that involve the use of portable equipment and consumables to extend the coping period, and maintain or restore the functions of core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling.
This section of the assessment documents the ability of the augmented ERO to implement Transition Phase coping strategies performed after the end of the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> no site access time period.
6.1.1 Expanded ERO Response Assessment Methodology The expanded ERO assessment was conducted in accordance with NEI 12-01. NEI 12-01 provided recommended staffing considerations for the postulated event to enable the performance of unit-specific accident assessment and mitigation functions. No additional ERO functions or resources were identified beyond those detailed in Table 3.1 would be required following a BDBEE at SONGS.
The capability of the current ERO staffing at SONGS to perform these expanded ERO functions was assessed as described below:
Number and composition of personnel required to perform the expanded ERO response functions of Table 6-2 was determined by performing the following:
o Current ERO rosters and qualification information were obtained and entered into Table 6-1.
o A Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) Assessment was performed to identify the two strategies for each unit that require the greatest number of staff to implement within time periods compatible with successful performance and the corresponding number and composition of staff to implement them.
Work areas for the expanded ERO were identified and analyzed for habitability.
Transportation and access to the site were assessed to reasonably ensure that the sufficient augmented staff can arrive onsite by the sixth hour of the event.
Position specific guidance was assessed in accordance with NEI 12-01.
6.1.2 Current Augmented ERO Staffing Complement and Response Capability The SONGS ERO consists of four teams. These teams include the on-site staff and on-duty personnel able to respond to emergency events. Staffing resources for the Page 20
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report assessment of the expanded ERO are provided by the depth of personnel filling the existing ERO positions. Table 6-1 below documents the augmented ERO staffing requirements (minimum and full staffing) from SONGS Emergency Plan Table 5-1.

In accordance with current regulatory guidance, the on-site ERO at a multi-unit site is designed to respond to a design basis accident affecting a single unit. According to NEI 12-01, a typical augmented ERO for a multi-unit site would be challenged to effectively respond to a BDBEE simultaneously affecting both units. In an event of this magnitude, it would be necessary to expand the capability of the augmented ERO in order to facilitate timely and effective performance of critical response functions. The focus of this expanded response capability would be to enable unit-specific accident assessment and mitigation functions. NEI 12-01 tables 3.1 and 3.2 provide recommended staffing considerations to fulfill these functions. The assessment results for SONGS are described in the following section.
6.2 Expanded ERO Response Assessment Results Summary Sufficient augmented ERO resources exist to fill the expanded ERO functions. Thus, the ability of the responding ERO members to implement Transition Phase coping strategies Page 22
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report performed after the end of the no site access 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> time period has been demonstrated. Refer to Table 6-2 for additional documentation of the expanded ERO functional staffing resources.
The following enhancements were identified during the Expanded ERO Response Assessment:
A process to integrate the expanded response capability into the existing ERO (i.e., put in place the ability to transition to unit-specific performance) will be developed and implemented in the event of a BDBEE. The process will include clear decision-making criteria for initiating the actions necessary to ensure timely performance of expanded response functions.
Evaluate expanding the automatic response process to include the on-shift2 and pooled ERO positions.
Evaluate and identify additional work areas and equipment for the performance of expanded response functions in the event that the alternate TSC and OSC are unavailable.
6.2.1 Mobilization of Expanded Response Staffing Capability 6.2.1.1 Notification of ERO Resources The SONGS ERO augmentation process consists of an all call / all come expectation in a declared event at an Alert level or higher. When the ERO notification system is operable, all qualified ERO members are contacted and expected to report if fit for duty.
In the absence of the call out system, all ERO members who are not part of the on-shift staff or pooled positions are trained to respond automatically following significant events.
SO123-XV-ERO-1, Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Standards and Expectations, Section 6.1.2 provides instruction that ERO personnel are expected to automatically respond to their assigned Emergency Response Facility (ERF) following significant events (such as earthquakes, tsunami or large area grid loss) when normal communications may not be available for an extended period of time. If the ERO member is not able to get to their assigned ERF, they are instructed to go to the nearest of three designated locations and await further instructions.
Currently, the automatic response process does not address all ERO resources that would be required for the expanded ERO. The on-shift and pooled resources are not currently included as part of the process. Methods exist (i.e.; satellite phones) to recall these personnel individually. However, as an enhancement, SCE will evaluate expanding the process to include these members.
6.2.1.2 Site Access/Alternate Transportation Capability The following methods of access are available to the SONGS site. One or more of these methods are expected to be available after a widespread large scale natural event:
2 On-shift personnel are Operations Operators who are typically on-shift, but not at work (i.e., NPEOs).
Page 23
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report Roadway - There are several roadways into the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). If one path were impassable, detours using other roadways are viable. Major routes include:
o Interstate 5 and adjoining roadways from the north and from the south o Surface roads through Marine Corps Base - Pendleton from the east o Interstate 15 is available for north/south movement o State Routes 74, 76, and 78 support east/west movement To facilitate access and restoration of the routes, the following are available to San Onofre:
o SONGS belongs to both the Orange County and San Diego County Operational Areas as part of the Regional Emergency Operation Center network. In an Emergency, a mission task request can be made to either operational area to support restoration of access to the plant.
o A mutual aid assistance agreement with Camp Pendleton exists for personnel services and equipment required for emergency response.
o The State of California, working with local agencies, is responsible to ensure that the evacuation routes are passable, free of impediments, and they coordinate actions of key support agencies. The evacuation routes include Interstate 5 and Pacific Coast Highway.
Air - Access to San Onofre can be provided via helicopters owned or arranged for by Southern California Edison (SCE). Availability of these helicopters is established in the SCE Operations Support Business Unit, Transportation Services Department Emergency Response and Business Continuity Plan. Air access is from seven (7) helicopters, owned and operated as SCE resources, with two being dedicated specifically for the transport of emergency response personnel and equipment to SONGS. The helicopters are capable of transporting up to 33 personnel per lift (accounting for the capacity of all the aircraft). The contact number for the Transportation Services Department is maintained in the Emergency Response Telephone Directory. This would provide reasonable assurance of sufficient ERO personnel arriving on-site prior to the end of the no site access period of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
6.2.1.3 Work Areas for Personnel Performing Expanded Response Functions The Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Operations Support Center (OSC) both have alternative facility locations, the Alternate TSC and the Alternate OSC. These alternate facilities will be utilized to support the expanded response capabilities if available. These locations are not robust from the perspective of a BDBEE. SONGS will evaluate and identify additional work areas and equipment for the performance of expanded response functions in the event that the alternate TSC and OSC are unavailable. In addition, enhancements to these areas will be assessed in accordance with the EP rulemaking on alternate ERFs. (Existing obligation)

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 6.2.2 Expanded ERO Response Capability 6.2.2.1 Expanded Response Functions The focus of an expanded response capability at SONGS will be to enable the performance of unit-specific accident assessment and mitigation functions. To be effective, the SONGS expanded response capability will encompass those functions necessary for preventing damage to irradiated fuel, or if such damage occurs, minimizing radiological releases. Selected functions will directly support the assessment and implementation of a range of mitigation strategies intended to maintain or restore the functions of core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling Table 6-2 addresses NEI 12-01 Table 3.1 expanded staffing requirements and documents the staffing necessary to support the simultaneous deployment of emergency repair and corrective action teams to each affected unit. The number required column is equal to the specified staffing consideration for two units assuming a 12-hour shift. In order to support 24-hour expanded ERO staffing, the resources required would be double the numbers listed in Table 6-2.
As indicated in Table 6-2, current SCE staffing resources for the ERO are sufficient to fill the expanded response functions.

SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 6.2.2.2 Position Specific ERO Response
- 1. Radiation Protection Technicians The SONGS process for establishing the expanded response capability will include a minimum number of available Radiation Protection Technicians (RPTs) following a BDBEE, to support performance of assigned emergency plan functions and the expanded response capability. The equation in Section 3.5.1 of NEI 12-01 was used to determine the total number of required RPTs on shift.
RPTT = RPTCOP + RPTRCA + RPTNC Where:
RPTT = Total required number of on-site RP Technicians.
RPTCOP = Number needed to support implementation of any 2 extended loss of AC power coping strategies per unit. Determine this number by reviewing strategies for each unit.
RPTRCA = Number needed for repair and corrective action (2 x the number of units).
RPTNC = Number of on-site RP Technicians performing other emergency plan functions that would preclude them from performing job coverage for extended loss of AC power coping, repair or corrective action teams.
8 (RPTT) = 1 (RPTCOP) + 4 (RPTRCA) + 3 (RPTNC)
RPTCOP = 1 The SONGS RPTCOP number is based upon the coping strategies of currently implemented EOPs which were evaluated during the task analysis and is documented in Table 4 of Attachment 1. The EOP tasks required the support of 1 RP Technician to provide access point monitoring for operations personnel to perform their assigned actions. SONGS has one access point for Units 2 and 3.
RPTRCA = 4 Based on the number needed for repair and corrective actions, two are required per unit.
RPTNC = 3 The SONGS RPTNC number is based upon Emergency Plan Table 5-4(a) functions that require 3 RP Technician to perform in-plant and onsite surveys which would preclude them from performing job coverage for extended loss of AC power coping, repair or corrective action teams.
The SONGS minimum number of RPTs required for expanded response is 8. To account for 24-hours of coverage, the total required number of RPTs is 16 based on 12-hour shifts.
Page 28
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report Following a beyond design basis external event, 48 RPTs are available to support performance of assigned emergency plan functions and the expanded response capability (Refer to Table 5-1).
In the event of fuel damage, prevailing dose rates would likely require that the sites RPT complement be augmented with technicians from outside sources. SONGS has a letter of agreement from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO),
addressed to all INPO member utilities, certifying plant emergency assistance. If requested INPO will provide assistance to locate personnel with technical expertise. This would include RPTs. The agreement remains in effect until terminated in writing.
- 2. Administrative Support Personnel A review of the SONGS Emergency Plan and procedures revealed that administrative support personnel that assist the augmented ERO members are not assigned critical response tasks. Augmented ERO personnel, in their roles as an expanded ERO, are capable of performing their assigned tasks and responsibilities without requiring support from administrative personnel.
- 3. SAMG Implementation Personnel The assessment considered the number and qualifications of SAMG implementation personnel required for simultaneous implementation of the two most task intensive SAMG strategies on both units. The two most labor intensive strategies are as follows:
Inject into the Steam Generators (S/Gs) (fire water low pressure S/G feed using long path recirculation)
Flood the Safety Equipment Building (SEB)/Radwaste Building Implementation of the Inject into the Steam Generators strategy requires the following personnel resources:
Resource # Per Unit Function Depressurize SGs and Close the upstream valves Control Operator 1 (performed in the Control Room)
Open the long path recirculation isolation valve in the NPEO 1 trench Maintenance 1 Reopen the MFW Isolation Valve with N2 Fire Department 1 Start and operate pump and/or fire truck Lay and connect fire hoses to the SEB roof and to Support Personnel 1 move/connect pump Implementation of the Flood the SEB/Radwaste Building strategy requires the following personnel resources:
Resource # Per Unit Function NPEO 1 Monitor and coordinate Fire Department 1 Start and operate pump and/or fire truck RP Technician 1 Monitor the dose and water accumulation Support Personnel 1 Lay and connect fire hoses Page 29
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report These two strategies, implemented simultaneously, would require the following personnel resources:
2 Control Operators 4 Nuclear Plant Equipment Operators 2 Mechanical Maintenance 2 RP Technicians 4 Fire Department personnel 4 Support Personnel As indicated in Table 6-2, sufficient resources are currently available to support this expanded response function.
6.2.3 Activating the SONGS Expanded Response Capability SO123-VIII-10, Emergency Coordinator Duties, currently has instructions to allow the facility leader to determine the ERO resources needed for the specific event. To enhance the decision making ability during a BDBEE, SONGS will develop and implement a process to integrate the expanded response capability into existing ERO (i.e., put in place the ability to transition to unit-specific performance) in the event of a BDBEE. The process will include clear decision-making criteria for initiating the actions necessary to ensure timely performance of expanded response functions.
Page 30
SONGS Phase 1 ELAP ERO Staffing Assessment Report 7 PROGRAM CONTROLS 7.1 Emergency Response Drill & Exercise Program NEI 12-01 states that a licensee should determine if any changes are necessary to documents describing the emergency response drill and exercise program. In particular, standard objectives and extent-of-play may need to be revised to clarify the expected demonstration of functions that are dependent upon the type of scenario event or accident (i.e., within or beyond design basis, and number of affected units). For example, functions associated with an expanded response capability would not be demonstrated during a drill or exercise that involved a design basis accident affecting only one unit.
Current SONGS drill and exercise procedures do not include evaluation objectives or demonstration criteria for dual unit events or expanded ERO activities. As future guidance is expected from the NRC in this area, no changes are necessary to the drill and exercise procedures at this time.
7.2 Training No new ERO tasks or functions have been identified to implement the expanded response capability. SONGS has a sufficient number of qualified ERO personnel to implement the expanded response; qualification of additional personnel will not be required.
7.3 Implementation Guidance SONGS will develop and implement a process to activate and integrate the expanded response capability into existing ERO (i.e., put in place the ability to transition to unit-specific performance) in the event of a BDBEE. The process will include decision-making criteria for initiating the actions necessary to ensure timely performance of expanded response functions.
