Regulatory Compliance Basis This change continues to comply with the minimum staffing requirements of the MNGP E-Plan and A.2-002, Monticello On-Shift Staffing Analysis. From the Interim Staff Guidance, NSIR/DPR-ISG-01,Section IV.C:
"NEI developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," Revision 0, dated June 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML111751698), to establish a standard methodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing analysis. The NRC has reviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose."
"Any reduction in effectiveness can only be associated with a change to the emergency plan that modifies current on-shift staffing levels or task assignments. The licensee would need to consider this licensing basis, per the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.219, in performing a change evaluation if modifying current staffing levels or task assignments based upon the results of the staffing analysis."
From RG 1.219, Section C1.1.b "...changes that reduce the number of personnel available to perform emergency response tasks or that lengthen the time it takes to staff and activate Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) could impact the NRC's reasonable assurance determination and would require prior NRC staff approval."
This change continues to comply with the minimum staffing requirements of the MNGP E-Plan and A.2-002 Monticello On-Shift Staffing Analysis. The change does not modify the required on-shift staffing levels, task assignments or reduce the required number of personnel available to perform the communicator function.
The Technical Specifications and USAR were unaffected.

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 5 of 119 M/eak 2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY In accordance with license conditions, 10CFR Part 50, and NRC Regulatory guidance, the Northern States Power Company - Minnesota (NSPM) has developed and implemented an emergency response plan for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) and a joint off-site plan for the MNGP and the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant. Xcel Energys wholly owned subsidiary NSPM operates the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. As asset owner, Xcel Energy retains all owner obligations.
In any emergency situation at Monticello, the initial response would be made by the site staff and, if needed, by local support agencies. It is expected that the initial response would have to extend for a period of hours, by which time the site staff would be augmented by other segments of the overall NSPM emergency response organization.
Once all centers are activated and the emergency organization is at full strength, the scope of the plant staff response will be reduced to the immediate plant site activities. This plan covers the actions and responsibilities of the Monticello plant staff and the local off-site support agencies.
The plan is directed toward the following areas:
2.1 Organization and actions within the plant to control and limit the consequences of an accident.
2.2 Organization and actions controlling site and initial off-site activities in the event of an uncontrolled release of radioactive material. This includes notification of and coordination with required off-site support agencies.
2.3 Identifying and evaluating the consequences of accidents that may occur and affect the safety of public and plant personnel.
2.4 Describing the protective action levels and actions that are required to protect the public and plant personnel in the event of an accident.
2.5 Considerations necessary for the purposes of re-entry and recovery.
2.6 Arrangements required for medical support in the event of injury.
2.7 The training necessary to assure adequate response to emergencies.
2.8 Notification systems used to notify the public in the event of an incident involving or potential of involving an off-site release.
The Emergency Plan is dependent upon the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for implementation. The procedures are the activating mechanism for the State Plan, which in turn activates the local government and service support agencies. Finally, the procedures reference standing plant operating, radiological control and security procedures in defining the plants response to the spectrum of emergency situations.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 6 of 119 M/eak 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN Abnormal events, both realized and potential, requiring emergency preparedness response are classified into four classes of Emergency Action Levels. The four levels of emergency classes, in increasing order of severity are:
(1)
Notification of Unusual Event (2)
Alert (3)
Site Area Emergency (4)
General Emergency Each class requires specific immediate actions on the part of the plant staff in order to protect the public, plant personnel and property. As the severity level of the emergency increases, so does the response of the off-site agencies, in order to protect the public.
The lowest class (least severe) is the Notification of Unusual Event. This classification will be handled by plant personnel, with advisory notification to local and state authorities.
The Alert Classification requires prompt notification of local and state authorities, which will place their various organizations in the standby mode. In both the Notification of Unusual Event and the Alert Classification, the plant staff is expected to restore the situation to normal without further or minimum involvement of off-site authorities. The two higher severity classes, the Site Area and the General Emergency, (the General Emergency being the most severe), require prompt notification of off-site authorities with immediate involvement of those organizations to assess the emergency situation and to implement the required protective actions for the general public.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 7 of 119 M/eak 4.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Emergency situations are classified according to severity, taking into consideration potential as well as actual events in process. Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant has and maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded. Upon identification of the appropriate emergency classification level the emergency condition will be promptly declared. The four standardized classifications are as follows:
- 1. Notification of Unusual Event (UE)
- 2. Alert
- 3. Site Area Emergency (SAE)
- 4. General Emergency (GE)
The rationale connecting the four action levels is to provide a mechanism for timely notification of events which could lead to significant consequences given subsequent operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized. It should be noted that various events could require a graded scale of response. A minor incident could increase in severity and advance to the next class of emergency. For some events, the condition may be corrected before a classification has been made. In general, the following guidance applies. Classify the event as indicated and terminate the emergency once assessment shows that there were no consequences from the event and other termination criteria are met. For example, a momentary event, such as an ATWS or an earthquake, requires declaration even though the condition may have been resolved by the time the declaration is made.
The process of assessing and classifying an event as a specific type of emergency requires a broad knowledge of integrated plant instrumentation and response to various transients. The various Initiating Conditions (IC) for each emergency class are specified in Annex A of this plan. Annex A also includes the detailed set of Emergency Action Levels (EAL) applicable to the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions, or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions at the plant and were developed using the EAL development methodology found in NEI 99-01, Revision 4.
The ICs and EALs are grouped into the following symptom-based, event based, and barrier-based recognition categories.
z R - Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent z C - Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction z E - Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations z F - Fission Product Barrier Degradation z H - Hazards z S - System Malfunction
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 8 of 119 M/eak Following is a brief description of each emergency classification and its associated response level.
Notification of Unusual Event 4.1 Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
The purpose of the Unusual Event emergency class is to (1) have the operating staff come to a state of readiness from the standpoint of emergency response in the event the handling of the initiating condition needs to be escalated to a more severe emergency class, and (2) provide for systematic handling of Unusual Events information and its related decision-making.
Alert 4.2 Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
Alerts are the lowest level where emergency off-site response may be anticipated.
The purpose of the alert emergency class is to (1) assure emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, (2) provide off-site authorities current status information, and (3) provide for activation of the TSC, OSC, and EOF or backup EOF.
Site Area Emergency 4.3 Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
The purpose of the site area emergency classification is to (1) assure that response centers are staffed; (2) assure that monitoring teams are dispatched; (3) assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious, and (4) provide current information for and consultation with off-site authorities and public.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 9 of 119 M/eak General Emergency 4.4 Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area.
The purpose of the general emergency classification is to (1) initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, (2) provide continuous assessment of information from licensee and off-site measurements, (3) initiate additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, and (4) provide current information for and consultation with off-site authorities and public.
5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES Normal Site Organization 5.1 Site Management Organization 5.1.1 The normal site organization is comprised of the plant organization and several other site support organizations. Each organizational area has a report directly to the Site Vice President or provides on-site functional support to the Site Vice President with an indirect reporting responsibility to the Site Vice President. These organizational areas include:

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 12 of 119 M/eak Emergency Organization and Responsibilities 5.2 Under emergency conditions the organization of the site staff is altered to simplify communications channels and make more efficient use of personnel resources (refer to Figure 13.1, Monticello Plant Emergency Organization). The Monticello Emergency Response Organization (ERO) consists of various groups which staff the site Emergency Response Facilities including the Technical Support Center, Operational Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility (or backup EOF if necessary). Functional responsibilities of the various groups are described in this section. A detailed description of individual position responsibilities and leadership designations for the various groups is contained in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure A.2-001 (EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION). A detailed description of personnel assignments is found in Form 5790-001-01 (EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION).
Technical Support Center Emergency Organization 5.2.1 The Technical Support Center ERO consists of a Coordination and Direction Group and six subordinate groups. Each group is represented at the command table in the Technical Support Center.
When a transition point (Primary Containment flooding is required) in the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) is reached, the duty Shift Manager and Operations Group Leader will make a joint decision to transition from the EOPs to the Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs). At this point, the Operations Group Leader would inform the TSC that they have relieved the duty Shift Manager as the Decision Maker.
The Decision Maker is designated to assess and select the strategies to be implemented. When using the SAMGs, the Operations Group Leader will act as the Decision Maker.
At the same time an Accident Management Team (AMT) is formed to utilize the SAMGs. The AMT is comprised of the following ERO positions; Operations Group Leader, Assistant Operations Group Leader, Engineering Coordinator, Nuclear Engineer, SPDS Operator, Trending Individual. AMT members are the Decision Maker and Evaluators. Evaluators are responsible for assessing control parameters, plant status, system status and EOP/SAMG actions and develop potential strategies that may be utilized to mitigate an event.
Direction and Control 5.2.1.1 The Direction and Control Group consists of the Plant Manager and other senior plant management personnel designated by the Plant Manager. Designated members of this group staff the Emergency Director position in the TSC. Qualified Shift Managers are also included in this group and function as the interim Emergency Director during the initial stages of an emergency until relieved by a designated Emergency Director.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 13 of 119 M/eak The Emergency Director is responsible for overall emergency direction and control until relieved of that responsibility by the Emergency Manager at the EOF. Initially, the Shift Manager assumes the role of Emergency Director until relieved by a designated Emergency Director. The Emergency Director has the authority and responsibility to unilaterally initiate emergency response actions including making off-site protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing off-site emergency measures.
Functional responsibilities of the Emergency Director include:
Recommend off-site protective measures. This responsibility may not be delegated and is relinquished to the Emergency Manager when the EOF is activated and staffed.
Overall direction and control of the Technical Support Center personnel and activities.
Ensure 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> coverage of key Emergency Response Organization positions in the TSC and OSC and continuity of personnel and material resources.

Emergency Response Activation 6.2 Notification Scheme 6.2.1 In the event an emergency classification is declared procedures and systems are in place to facilitate timely activation of the site Emergency Response Organization and notification of State and Local authorities, Federal agencies and the general public within the 10 mile EPZ. This section describes the notification methods and processes used to activate on-site and off-site emergency response.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 38 of 119 M/eak Activation of the On-Site ERO 6.2.1.1 When an abnormal condition is identified by the shift operating staff the duty Control Room Supervisor and Shift Manager are notified. An assessment of the safety significance of the event is performed and a determination of the emergency classification made using the Emergency Action Levels (EALs) contained in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
Upon declaring an emergency condition, the duty Shift Manager is responsible for implementation of the Emergency Plan and assumes the role of Emergency Director. The Shift Manager directs the completion of the necessary emergency notifications including the on-site Emergency Response Organization.
When directed, the Shift Emergency Communicator notifies the site Emergency Response Organization. During normal working hours, ERO notification is made using the plant public address system. During non-working hours, ERO notification is made using the ERO Pager Network and automated callout system. The detailed instructions for ERO notification are contained in the implementing procedures and associated forms and call-lists.
State and Local Authorities and NRC 6.2.1.2 Under the direction of the Shift Manager (Emergency Director) the Shift Emergency Communicator will notify State and Local authorities and the NRC using commercial telephone and the FTS Emergency Notification System (ENS) respectively.
Notification procedures are contained in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and associated forms.
In addition to the initial notifications, provisions are included in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for follow-up notifications to State authorities which contain the following information (if it is known and appropriate):
Location of the incident, name and telephone 6.2.1.2.1 number of the caller; Date and time of the incident; 6.2.1.2.2 Emergency classification; 6.2.1.2.3 Type of actual or potential release and 6.2.1.2.4 estimated release duration/impact times;
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 39 of 119 M/eak Estimate of quantity of radioactive material 6.2.1.2.5 released or being released and the release point; Estimates of relative quantities and 6.2.1.2.6 concentration of noble gases, iodines and particulates; Meteorological conditions; 6.2.1.2.7 Actual or projected dose rates at the site 6.2.1.2.8 boundary and integrated dose at the site boundary; Projected dose rates and integrated dose at 6.2.1.2.9 projected peak and at about 2, 5 and 10 miles, including affected sectors; Estimates of any surface radioactive 6.2.1.2.10 contamination on-site or off-site; Licensee emergency response actions 6.2.1.2.11 underway; Recommended emergency actions including 6.2.1.2.12 protective measures; Request for any needed on-site support by 6.2.1.2.13 off-site organizations.
Prognosis for worsening or termination of the 6.2.1.2.14 event based on plant information.
Off-site Emergency Response Organization 6.2.1.3 Notification and activation of the Off-site Emergency Response Organization is accomplished by the Shift Emergency Communicator per the site ERO notification procedures. The ERO notification procedures support the notification of select Xcel Energy/NSPM management and technical personnel who staff the Joint Information Center (JIC).
General Public 6.2.1.4 The decision to notify the general public will be made by State or Local authorities based on information and recommendations provided by the MNGP. The Emergency Director is initially responsible for recommendations involving notification of the general public and is relieved of this responsibility by the Emergency Manager.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 40 of 119 M/eak Notification of the general public is accomplished through Local Authorities use of the Public Alert and Notification System (PANS), and Emergency Alert System (EAS) auto dialing telephone systems. The State or Local authorities are responsible for activation of these systems and the information provided to the public. See Section 7.7 for additional information.
0-5 Mile PANS Coverage 6.2.1.4.1 Notification capabilities within the 0-5 mile EPZ include 37 sirens with a designed output of 127 dBC. This represents essentially 100%
coverage of the population within the 0-5 mile portion of the EPZ.
5-10 Mile PANS Coverage 6.2.1.4.2 Notification capabilities within the 5-10 mile EPZ include 69 sirens with a designed output of 127 dBC. This represents essentially 100%
coverage of the population within the 5-10 mile portion of the EPZ.
Supplemental Notification Capabilities 6.2.1.4.3 To further ensure prompt notification of the public, auto dialing telephone systems are used to alert select facilities, within 10 mile EPZ, which could contain large groups of people during all or part of the day. The number and location of facilities contacted is determined by the local County Emergency Management Directors. These include commercial, institutional and educational facilities which may also be covered by State and County emergency warning plans. Provisions for transient population notification are also included in State and County plans.
Emergency Action Levels (EALs) 6.2.2 The Emergency Action Levels (EALs) for each of the four emergency classifications are outlined in the Initiating Conditions in Annex A. These Emergency Action Levels are also identified for each Initiating Condition in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. State and Local authorities are notified for all four emergency classifications and will activate the appropriate elements of their respective emergency plans based on information provided in the notification from the utility.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 41 of 119 M/eak Authentication 6.2.3 Communications made for the purpose of notifying off-site authorities of an emergency will be authenticated before the initiation of their emergency response actions. The method used for authentication are developed and mutually agreed to by the utility and off-site authorities.
Assessment Actions 6.3 Determining Magnitude of Release 6.3.1 The magnitude of releases and release rates from normal pathways (e.g.,
Stack and Reactor Building vent) are determined using installed plant instrumentation. Installed side-stream isokinetic samplers and wide-range radiation monitors normally monitor plant effluent releases, and would be the primary method used in an emergency. Portable hand held radiation instruments are used in the event the installed monitors become inoperable.
Releases from other than normal pathways (e.g., hard pipe containment vent) will be estimated either from installed plant instrumentation or from a determination of the amount of activity available for release plus the particulars of the release path. Field measurements will be used to assist in the assessment effort by making physical measurements of dose rates and airborne, liquid and surface contamination. Field measurements are primarily the responsibility of the Radiation Protection Support Group, headquartered at the EOF, and under the direction of the Emergency Manager.
Off-Site Dose Projection 6.3.2 The primary means of performing dose projections is RASCAL (Radiological Assessment System for Consequence Analysis).
RASCAL is a dose projection software program that uses manual data input for calculation of off-site dose rates under routine or accident conditions.
The program is designed to produce real time estimates of plume locations and dose intensity. This information establishes the basis for protective action recommendations which are communicated to off-site authorities.
Meteorological and effluent data from process monitors and meteorological instruments located at the plant site is manually entered into RASCAL. This data is typically obtained from ERIS (Emergency Response Information System) which compiles the data at one central location to be used by the Dose Projection Specialist to enter into RASCAL. As the data is collected, quality control checks are made to flag bad data and identify potential problems. RASCAL is software developed and used by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Emergency Operations Center to estimate projected doses from radiological emergencies.
RASCAL consists of two main tools: the Source Term to Dose model and the Field Measurement to Dose model.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 42 of 119 M/eak Source Term to Dose The Source Term to Dose model is used when you want to enter information about plant conditions or accident conditions in order to estimate projected radiation doses from a plume to people downwind. This model will first generate a time-dependant source term. This is the release rate for each radionuclide from the facility as a function of time.
This time-dependent release rate (the source term) then provides the input to an atmospheric dispersion and transportation model. The atmospheric dispersion and transport model estimates radionuclide concentrations downwind, both in the air and on the ground due to deposition. The calculated concentrations are then used to estimate projected doses. The dose pathways are: cloud shine from the plume, inhalation from the plume, and groundshine from deposited radionuclides.
Field Measurement to Dose The Field Measurement to Dose model is used when the plume-phase of the accident is over and you are in the intermediate-phase. The Field Measurement to Dose model estimates doses based on measurements of the radionuclide activity in the environment. The model will use the ground concentration of radionuclides to calculate intermediate-phase doses.
RASCAL calculates exposure rates for closed window gamma meter readings taken at 1 m above ground level. Projected integrated doses are calculated by taking into account the projected duration of release. The projected doses are compared to EALs for emergency classification purposes. The projected integrated doses are compared to EPA PAGs for purposes of protective action recommendations.
The RASCAL program can be run from computer stations located in the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and the Back-up EOF. Independent battery powered laptop computers are available in the TSC, EOF and Back-up EOF.
Dose calculations based on potential releases or theoretical conditions are accommodated using a manual input mode. Calculations can also be generated based on input of containment monitor readings or percentage of fuel damage.
The Radiological Emergency Coordinator has the capability to estimate the total off-site population dose (manrem) received during a release. The off-site dose assessment computer will supply the projected dose rates or doses (whole body and thyroid) at various distances. Field Team radiation survey results may also be used to determine the off-site dose rates.
Population distribution charts comprised of the sectors and distances from the plant are available. The Radiological Emergency Coordinator will determine the applicable doses or dose rates in the sectors and calculate the estimated total population dose by referring to the population totals in the sectors of interest.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 43 of 119 M/eak Field Radiation Surveys 6.3.3 The task of field radiation surveillance will be accomplished by several teams under the supervision of Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) personnel. Initially, plant staff personnel will be responsible for on-site as well as off-site monitoring. As the organization is augmented, plant personnel from Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) will take over the off-site surveys. The EOF will be the central point for receipt and analysis of all off-site field monitoring data.
Survey teams will normally be composed of 2 individuals each, at least one of whom SHALL be trained in radiological field monitoring. Each team SHALL be equipped with appropriate monitoring equipment, including dose rate instruments, air sampling equipment and sample collection media and containers. This equipment has the capability to detect and measure radioiodine concentrations in the air as low as 1x10-7 Ci/cc under field conditions. Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant monitoring teams SHALL perform necessary off-site monitoring until the PINGP off-site monitoring teams arrive and assume off-site monitoring responsibility. The estimated deployment time for monitoring teams composed of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant personnel is 60 minutes.
Corrective Actions 6.4 Fire Control 6.4.1 The Fire Brigade, which is composed entirely of plant personnel, is fully equipped, trained and capable of dealing with fire emergencies. At the direction of the Emergency Director and the Brigade Leader, the Fire Brigade will be deployed as necessary.
Repair and Damage Control 6.4.2 The repair and damage control functions are assigned to the Maintenance Group. Personnel are assigned according to the skills they possess so that the team is capable of coping with the emergency situation. Repair and damage control team members are selected from available personnel.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 44 of 119 M/eak Protective Actions 6.5 Protective Cover, Evacuation, Personnel Accountability 6.5.1 In the course of an emergency situation where there is an actual or potential release of radioactive material to the environs in excess of normal operating levels, an assessment of projected exposure to persons on-site and off-site will be made. The result of this assessment will be a determining factor for implementing protective actions.
Plant Site 6.5.1.1 During the course of an emergency, the REC is responsible for on-site monitoring operations. The on-site monitoring procedures contain criteria for initiating evacuations of various degrees. In all cases of elevated radiation levels or in potentially hazardous situations, non-essential personnel will be evacuated from affected areas of the plant. A plant evacuation is required at the Site Area Emergency level, radiological and environmental conditions permitting. The plant evacuation includes the owner-controlled area outside of the Protected Area.
A personnel accounting process is part of a plant or site evacuation. A system using the plant security computer and individual Security I.D. badges enables the Emergency Director to account for all personnel within the Protected Area in 30 minutes or less. Card readers are located at the TSC, Security Access Facility and Access Control to expedite the process.
Backup methods are also available in case of a computer malfunction.
Personnel within the plant are notified of an evacuation by the plant Public Address (PA) system. A warning tone and voice instructions are part of the procedure. Time required for this process is less than 5 minutes from decision to evacuate.
Personnel outside of the plant buildings are notified by the plant evacuation siren, which is located atop the Reactor Building.
The siren initiation is simultaneous with the PA system alarm.
After the accounting process is completed, Security personnel are dispatched to ensure that all personnel in the Owner-Controlled Area outside the Protected Area have been notified. This process should be completed within 60 minutes of the start of the evacuation.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 45 of 119 M/eak In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency, the following actions will be taken:
All plant employees not having emergency 6.5.1.1.1 assignments at the site and having been cleared of radioactive contamination, will be directed to proceed to the Emergency Operations Facility, a designated off-site assembly point or sent home; All working and non-working visitors and 6.5.1.1.2 contractor and construction personnel, having been cleared of radioactive contamination, will be directed to leave the site, unless requested otherwise by the Emergency Director; Persons who may be within the restricted area 6.5.1.1.3 but outside the security fence, will be directed to proceed to the designated assembly point for accountability and radioactive contamination check before being directed to leave the site.
Persons who are not cleared of radioactive 6.5.1.1.4 contamination following a plant evacuation will be decontaminated at a location on the plant site, at an off-site assembly point, or at a County Emergency Worker Monitoring and Decontamination Facility.
Onsite Protective Actions for Hostile Action Events 6.5.1.2 Onsite Protective Actions designed for 6.5.1.2.1 protection of personnel as described in Section 6.5.1.1 may be inappropriate for a Hostile Action Event. Alternate actions as described in NSIR/DRP-ISG-01 Section IV.F have been developed and proceduralized.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 46 of 119 M/eak Off-Site Public 6.5.1.3 Actions planned to protect the off-site public and criteria for their implementation are described in the MINNESOTA EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.
Initiation of protective actions for off-site areas is the responsibility of the State of Minnesota. Prior to the EOF being activated, the Emergency Director will make recommendations for protective actions if it is determined that they are necessary.
Recommendations will be directed to the State EOC and will come directly from the Emergency Director. If the State EOC is not activated and it is determined by MNGP that immediate protective actions should be initiated at the Local level, the recommendation will be made directly to the Local authorities.
When the EOF is activated, the protective action recommendation function will normally be transferred to the Emergency Manager.
The current issue of the Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA 400-R-92)
SHALL be used as a basis for recommendations for protective actions for the off-site public; however, more conservative protective actions based on discussions with the State may be recommended in the course of an emergency. Protective action recommendations SHALL also be consistent with the guidance of the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations, Department of Health and Human Services document titled Accidental Radioactive Contamination of Human Food and Animal Feeds: Recommendations for State and Local Agencies, August, 1998.
Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 provide guidelines and action levels to be used in the formulation of protective action recommendations.
Routes for Site Evacuation 6.5.2 Evacuation of personnel from the site SHALL be accomplished in personal private vehicles and augmented by MNGP vehicles when necessary and available. Personnel are to proceed to the designated assembly area as directed by traffic control personnel.

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 47 of 119 M/eak Evacuation Time Estimates (ETE) - Plume Exposure EPZ 6.5.3 Time estimates for evacuation of the plume exposure EPZ are referenced in an appendix to the Off-site Nuclear Emergency Plan and in the Plant Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure for making off-site protective action recommendations. MNGP and the State of Minnesota use the ETE to develop pre-determined protective action recommendations.
Use of On-Site Protective Equipment and Supplies 6.5.4 Respiratory Protection and Protective Clothing 6.5.4.1 In an emergency situation, the protection afforded by individual respiratory equipment must be weighed against the negative aspects of its use. In the case where a respirator may lead to additional external exposure because of the inherent difficulties of working while wearing a respirator, it may be prudent to forego the respirator in favor of a lower total dose to the individual.
In general the use of protective clothing and respiratory protection equipment will be governed by existing Radiation Protection Procedures. The Radiological Emergency Coordinator will make decisions on the use of this equipment during emergency situations.
A supply of protective clothing is stored in the TSC.
A very limited supply of this equipment is stored at each assembly point. Large supplies of respiratory equipment are stored at the plant access control area and protective clothing will normally be available in the warehouse located outside the security fence.
Thyroid Prophylaxis 6.5.4.2 A supply of potassium iodide (KI) will be maintained at the Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility. Each of these locations will have a minimum of 200 boxes, each of which contain a 10-day supply of KI at recommended dosages for one person. In the event that an individual is expected to receive a dose to the thyroid in excess of 25 Rem (due to radioiodine uptake), the use of KI as a blocking agent may be recommended. KI will not be made available to off-site personnel under this plan.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 48 of 119 M/eak Emergency Exposure Control 6.5.5 Exposure Limits 6.5.5.1 Although an emergency situation transcends the normal requirements of limiting exposure, there are suggested levels for exposure to be accepted in emergencies. Immediate re-entry may be necessary to account for missing personnel or to secure vital equipment. Additional exposure for this purpose must be approved by the Emergency Director based on the following criteria and the guidelines in Table 6:
In order to avoid restricting actions that may be 6.5.5.1.1 necessary to save lives or protect the health and safety of the public, it SHALL be the discretion of the Emergency Director that determines the amount of exposure that will be permitted in order to perform the emergency mission. However, the dose resulting from emergency exposure should be limited to 25 REM for life-saving activities and the protection of large populations. Individuals undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 REM to the whole body should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risk involved (EPA-400).
In situations where protecting valuable property 6.5.5.1.2 is involved, the dose resulting from emergency exposure should be limited to 10 REM (EPA-400).
Exposure Control 6.5.5.2 Under emergency conditions, exposure control would be implemented in accordance with the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure A.2-401 (EMERGENCY EXPOSURE CONTROL).
Each person entering the controlled area would be required to wear a permanent record device (TLD) and a direct reading dosimeter or an electronic dosimeter.
The responsibility for maintaining exposure control for site activities rests with the Radiological Emergency Coordinator and the Radiation Protection Group. With this responsibility would be the option of establishing Access Control at alternate locations on site if the primary access control facility becomes uninhabitable. In this event, the access control function would be relocated to an alternate location within the Administration
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 49 of 119 M/eak Building, Security Access Facility or the EOF. In any case, strict exposure control of all individuals passing through the access point would be maintained on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> basis.
In order to enhance the exposure control process and to provide dosimetry for an expanded number of people, a dosimetry vendor would be called upon to expedite the shipment of extra dosimetry devices and to supply personnel and instrumentation for on-site appraisal of exposures.
It must be noted, however, that every effort will be made to keep the exposures of plant staff personnel and off-site emergency personnel below the limits for normal operations.
Contamination Control Measures 6.5.6 Plant Site 6.5.6.1 The Radiation Protection Group is responsible for preventing or minimizing direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces. Personnel, material and equipment will be checked at the main access control point. Decontamination will be effected when needed and when practical. Equipment which cannot be decontaminated will remain within the Radiological Controlled Area or be controlled through a conditional release process.
The site guidelines for release of equipment to a clean area are no detectable licensed radioactive material above background, using the following criteria:
A.Use of a counting system that meets a 6.5.6.1.1 minimum detection sensitivity of 1000 dpm/100cm2 beta/gamma provided that this equates to an MDA no higher than 20 dpm/100cm2 alpha based on 10CFR61 plant beta to alpha ratios.
B.Using a frisker type instrument to conduct a 6.5.6.1.2 direct frisk survey with no reproducible counts above background provided background is
< 200 cpm.
Should any normally clean areas become contaminated in excess of 20 dpm/100 cm2 alpha or 1000 dpm/100 cm2 beta-gamma (as determined by smear tests), they SHALL be barricaded or roped and posted as a Contaminated Area, per normal plant procedures. Such areas SHALL be decontaminated as soon as practical. Access to such areas
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 50 of 119 M/eak which lie outside the protected area will be controlled by plant security until properly decontaminated and cleared.
Under emergency conditions, the Radiological Emergency Coordinator has the option of implementing emergency guidelines for contamination control which are in excess of normal limits.
The Radiation Protection Group is responsible for controlling all food and water supplies at the plant during an emergency.
Whenever an evacuation due to radiological condition occurs, all food and water supplies within the evacuated area will be considered contaminated and measures will be taken to prevent their use.
Before any water or food may be consumed, the Radiation Protection Group must verify that the water/food is not contaminated and the area in which it is consumed is less than detectable using normal contamination survey methods.
Random samples of water/food SHALL be analyzed for contamination on a periodic basis.
Off-Site Areas 6.5.6.2 Protective actions planned for persons in off-site areas and criteria for their implementation are described in the MINNESOTA EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN.
Aid to Affected Personnel 6.6 In case of an accident or emergency, protection of personnel from radioactive contamination and exposure is the responsibility of the Radiation Protection Group.
The highest priority for medical treatment of radiation injuries are personnel suspected of receiving 25 rem or more of penetrating radiation to the whole body.
The order of medical treatment will be:
A. Immediate care of serious injuries B. Decontamination of personnel C. Care of other injuries D. Determining any internal contaminations through bioassays and whole body counts.
E. Follow-up treatment
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 51 of 119 M/eak Decontamination and First Aid 6.6.1 Decontamination 6.6.1.1 As soon as practical, attempts SHALL be made to decontaminate individuals found to be contaminated. First aid or removal from a hazardous environment, however, SHALL take precedence over decontamination actions. Precautions will be taken to prevent the spread of contamination to other parts of the body. Particular attention will be paid to open wounds in order to prevent internal contamination.
Contamination monitoring will be accomplished using thin-window GM pancake-type probes for maximum sensitivity.
Each assembly area where decontamination may be conducted is equipped with one or more of these instruments.
The primary decontamination facility is located in the plant Access Control Area. Two showers and a large sink, plus various other supplies are provided for this express purpose. If the primary facility is not accessible, decontamination kits are also provided in the emergency supplies for the EOF and off-site Assembly Points. Decontamination operations at an Assembly Point would be on a small scale due to limited resources. If necessary, contaminated personnel at an Assembly Point will be placed in protective clothing and transported to an adequate facility.
The decontamination kits contain the equipment and materials necessary for small scale personnel decontamination operations. Decontamination materials are made available for use at Access Control, EOF, and Off-Site Assembly Points to deal with various skin contamination.
The waste generated in decontamination operations will be retained for proper disposal.
First Aid 6.6.1.2 Fire Brigade personnel receive first aid training (Red Cross Multi-Media or equivalent) on a periodic basis. The level of skills is sufficient for the time it takes for off-site medical personnel to arrive.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 52 of 119 M/eak Medical Transportation 6.6.2 Arrangements for transportation of radiologically contaminated casualties have been made with local hospitals Ambulance Service. The personnel at the service receive radiological training from MNGP Training Staff members on a regular basis. The procedure for handling contaminated personnel includes protective measures for equipment as well as the ambulance service personnel.
Medical Treatment 6.6.3 The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant has made arrangements for medical services with a local hospital located approximately five miles from the plant in Monticello. In addition, this hospital has established a transfer agreement with North Memorial Hospital for backup assistance should it be necessary for either radiological support or to care for large numbers of patients.
Injured personnel who must be moved to the local hospital while in a contaminated condition SHALL be accompanied by personnel who are qualified in radiological monitoring who will stay in attendance and maintain radiological control until decontamination is satisfactorily completed.
The person escorting the patient will take along survey instruments. In addition, TLD badges, pocket dosimeters, survey instruments and other supplies and protective equipment for hospital employees are available at the hospital.
The patient will be put in a separate room and this will be considered a Contaminated Area. Upon release of the patient from the room, it SHALL be sealed until decontaminated and cleared by Radiation Protection. All hospital equipment in the room will be surveyed and decontaminated to site guidelines for release of equipment to a clean area before being released.

Technical Support Center 7.1.1 The Technical Support Center (TSC) serves as a center outside of the Control Room that acts in support of the command and control function.
Plant status and diagnostic information will be available at this location for use by technical and management personnel in support of reactor command and control functions. The Emergency Director resides in the TSC when activated.
The TSC is located on the first level of the Plant Engineering Building (PEB). The TSC has approximately 5700 sq ft of floor space and is within the controlled ventilation boundary of the Emergency Ventilation System (EVS). This system is independent of the Emergency Filtration Train System (EFT) which serves the Control Room.
An emergency equipment locker located in the TSC contains protective, anti-contamination clothing for TSC personnel.
Operations Support Center 7.1.2 The Operational Support Center (OSC) serves as the facility to which Mechanical, Electrical and I&C maintenance personnel report in an emergency. In addition to maintenance personnel, off-duty Operations personnel also report to the OSC. The OSC functions as the staging area from which emergency teams are dispatched, by the TSC or Control Room, to undertake emergency corrective actions.
The primary OSC is located on the first and second levels of the Plant Administration Building within the Outage Control Center, PAB2 conference room, I&C offices, Operations Department Break Room and Plant Lunch Room. The primary OSC is a dedicated facility which serves as a maintenance support area and conference room during normal operation.
The primary OSC is outside a filtered ventilation boundary.
The Back-up OSC is located within the TSC shell structure in the east end of the TSC. The Back-up OSC is located within the EVS controlled ventilation boundary. The Back-up OSC is activated if the primary OSC becomes uninhabitable or as other circumstances dictate.
Emergency equipment lockers, located in the primary OSC, contain protective anti-contamination clothing for OSC emergency team personnel.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 58 of 119 M/eak Emergency Operations Facility 7.1.3 In the event of an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or a General Emergency, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) will be activated. The EOF serves as a center for evaluation and coordination of off-site activities related to the emergency. Additionally, the facility will be the base of operations for environmental surveillance and communications with supporting operations.
The Emergency Manager is in charge of the EOF.
The EOF is located within the site Training Center, 1 mile south by southeast of the plant (approximately 5 minutes driving time). It was designed primarily as a training facility and also in accordance with NUREG 0696. In the event the EOF is needed, it is capable of prompt conversion from a training facility to an Emergency Response Facility.
The EOF will be activated and staffed by Site ERO personnel. On activation, the first personnel will arrive within 30 minutes, with complete activation in approximately one hour. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures describe the functions, equipment and personnel responsibilities more fully.
The EOF will also provide office space, trailer space and communications hook-ups for NRC Incident Response Teams, vendors, and technical support contractors. Media personnel may be assembled in the Training Center Multi-Purpose Room or other designated waiting area. The JIC will be the main point of contact for the media to obtain information regarding the emergency.
Alternative Facilities 7.1.4 In the case of Hostile Action Events activation of onsite Emergency Response Facilities may be unsafe. Alternative Response Facilities have been developed to allow onsite ERO personnel to muster is a location near the site but away from any onsite hostile activity. The alternative facility selected for Monticello is the EOF/Training Building described in Section 7.1.3. This facility is accessible in the event of an onsite Hostile Action and provides the ability to perform the following functions:
i Communication with the Control Room and onsite Security Forces i Notification of offsite Emergency Response Organizations i Engineering Assessment Activities including damage control team preparation and planning.

Drills involving communications equipment are conducted on a 7.2.5.2 regular basis to assure operability.
Assessment Facilities 7.3 The plant instrumentation and monitors perform indicating, recording and protective functions. The regulating systems provide the ability to regulate the plant safely from shutdown to full power and to monitor and maintain key variables such as reactor power, flow, temperature and radioactivity levels within predetermined safe limits during both steady state and plant transients. Plant instrumentation and control systems also provide means to cope with abnormal operating conditions. The control and display of information of these various systems are centralized in the main Control Room. This instrumentation would provide the basis for initiation of protective systems.
On-Site Systems and Equipment 7.3.1 Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) 7.3.1.1 The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) is designed to provide plant operators with a concise display of critical plant parameters as an aid in implementation of the plant Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). The Monticello SPDS System is based on plant Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and General Electric (GE) generic Emergency Response Information System (ERIS). SPDS displays are available in the Work Execution Center Office, Duty Shift Manager Office, Technical Support Center (TSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and throughout the Control Room.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 63 of 119 M/eak SPDS information is presented to the operator via color graphic computer systems. Operator interface to the color graphics computer system is via keyboards, color monitors, and printer/plotters. Input data from plant sensors is gathered via the Data Acquisition System (DAS) and independently transmitted to the computer systems. Identical DAS data is maintained on both process computers for purposes of redundancy in the event one computer fails. Signals are processed through various algorithms such as signal range checking, limit checking, averaging, logical manipulations and validation. The results are then transmitted to the color graphic display computers where the data is transformed into the SPDS displays.
The SPDS displays can be classified into two categories, Top-Level and Lower-Level displays. In general, Top-Level displays provide information on several control parameters, both current and historical. The Lower-Level displays are designed to augment the Top-Level displays by providing more detail or background on specific items contained in the Top-Level displays. The overall SPDS display structure is as follows:
Top Level SPDS Displays 7.3.1.1.1
- 1. Critical Plant Variables The CPV display provides the status of all critical plant parameters including RPV level, pressure, reactor power, drywell pressure and temperature, torus pressure, temperature and level, and radioactive release rate information.
- 2. Reactor Pressure Vessel Control The RPV display provides detailed status and control parameter information including RPV water level, RPV pressure, reactor power and RPV temperature.
- 3. Containment Control This display provides specific information regarding containment control including drywell pressure and temperature and torus water level, temperature and pressure.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 64 of 119 M/eak
- 4. Radiation Control The Radiation Monitor displays provide detailed information on Reactor/Turbine and Radwaste Building area radiation monitors and plant process monitors.
Lower-Level SPDS Displays 7.3.1.1.2
- 1. Trend Plot Displays Trend plot displays support the RPV and Containment Control displays by providing detailed parameter trend plots of those displays.
- 2. Two Dimensional Plot Displays The 2-D plot displays provide plant specific two dimensional limits in an x-y format and are identical to the curves used in the EOPs.
- 3. Validation Displays The Validation displays are used to display how a parameter is determined.
In addition, Menu Displays are provided to assist the user in selection of individual displays from applicable display types.
SPDS menus include, Reactor Menu, Trend Plot Menu, 2-D Menu and Validation Menu.
The SPDS displays are designed with common display characteristics for ease of understanding. Data is displayed according to defined conventions for use of color, shape, format, alarm and validation processing.
A display color coding scheme is used to aid the operator in prioritizing information and recognizing off-normal conditions.
In addition, displays provide indication of both validated parameter and process limit status. Status windows are also provided to alert the operator when approaching or exceeding a critical parameter limit (EOP entry condition).
Two SPDS Terminals are available in the Technical Support Center for use during emergency conditions and for system development during normal operation. One terminal is utilized by the Radiation Protection Group for display of plant radiological conditions and process monitor status. The second terminal is located in the Technical Engineering area of the
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 65 of 119 M/eak TSC and is used for plant parameter analysis and trending under the direction of the Engineering Group Leader.
Geophysical Phenomena Monitors 7.3.1.2 Seismic Monitoring System 7.3.1.2.1 The Seismic Monitoring System is made up of three independent sensing systems: the peak-recording accelerometers, the seismic-switch-activated annunciator system and the accelerograph recording system. The peak-recording accelerometers and the sensors for the accelerograph system (force-balance accelerometers) are located in the drywell, on the refueling floor and in the seismic shed (located to the north of the number 2 warehouse). Seismic switches for the annunciator system are also located in the seismic shed. The seismic trigger which initiates the accelerograph is located in the number 12 125 VDC Battery Room.
Each of the peak-recording accelerometers is a self-contained unit. The sensing mechanism is a permanent magnet stylus attached to the end of a torsional accelerometer. Low frequency accelerations cause the magnet to erase pre-recorded lines on a small (approximately 1/4 inch square) piece of magnetic tape. Each peak recording accelerometer unit contains three torsional accelerometers and magnetic tapes - one each for longitudinal, transverse, and vertical accelerations.
The magnetic tapes can be removed from the accelerometers, developed and evaluated by plant personnel for a rapid determination of the severity of a seismic disturbance.
The Control Room annunciator 6-C-08 (EARTHQUAKE) is initiated by either seismic switch of the Seismic Annunciator System or the seismic trigger of the accelerograph recording system. In addition to this, each of the seismic switches has its own alarm. The first of these is the alarm 6-C-13 (OPERATIONAL BASIS EARTHQUAKE (OBE))
which annunciates when its switch senses an
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 66 of 119 M/eak acceleration >.03 g. The second alarm is the 6-C-18 (DESIGN BASIS EARTHQUAKE (DBE)), which annunciates when its switch senses an acceleration >.06g. These two switches do not activate the accelerograph recording system.
The accelerograph recording system gives a more detailed record of a disturbance than the peak recording accelerometers - it records accelerations in three directions (longitudinal, transverse, and vertical, as above) from each of the three sensor locations on magnetic tape cartridges located in the Control Room. This system has five major components: a trigger, three sensors, and the recording and control units. When the trigger (located in the No. 12 125 VDC Battery Room) senses the beginning of a seismic disturbance, (an acceleration >.01 g), it will start the accelerograph recorders and also triggers the earthquake event alarm 6-C-08 in the Control Room.
A summary of the Seismic Monitoring Equipment is provided in Table 9.
Meteorological Monitoring System 7.3.1.2.2 The purpose of the meteorological monitoring system is to monitor and determine atmospheric dilution and dispersion parameters for the Monticello Plant site.
The meteorological monitoring system consists of two instrumented towers, associated signal transmission and processing equipment, two AC power sources, and battery backup power supplies.
The primary meteorological tower facility is located on the plant site east of the Reactor Building. It consists of a 100 meter guyed steel tower with a climate controlled instrument shelter at its base. The tower has a motor driven elevator which raises and lowers the three separate instrument platforms mounted on the tower.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 67 of 119 M/eak The instrument platforms are located at 10, 43 and 100 meters. Each platform has two independent sets (trains) of instrumentation (A and B channels). Each instrument set includes one combination wind speed and direction sensor and one RTD temperature probe. Wind speed and direction transmitters are provided with heater elements to reduce the potential of becoming inoperable during low temperature conditions. The temperature sensors are housed in forced air, shielded aspirators which include air flow sensors. Insufficient air flow and motor inoperability indicator lights are provided in the instrument shelter. Signal transmission lines from the sensors to the instrument shelter junction box are provided with power surge protection and the tower is equipped with lightning rods and is grounded.
Both sets (trains) of sensors and related instrumentation normally receive power from one of two AC power sources. Transfer of power sources may be accomplished manually in the event of a loss of the normal AC power supply. In addition, a UPS is provided in the event manual transfer of the AC power supplies does not occur.
Signals from the 100 meter tower instrumentation are fed to the instrument processor rack located in the instrument shelter and provide the primary and secondary source of meteorological data.
A second meteorological tower is located approximately 3/4 mile from the Reactor Building and is adjacent to the EOF. This tower is a 30 meter self-supported tower with an instrument elevator which lifts single train wind speed and wind direction sensor to the 22 meter elevation. Signal transmission lines from the wind sensor to the associated junction box are surge protected and the tower is grounded.
Signals from the tower are fed to an instrument processor rack located inside the EOF and provide the third source of wind speed and wind direction data.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 68 of 119 M/eak Meteorological data from the 100 meter tower is collected every 5 seconds, averaged every minute and 15 minutes, and stored in raw data files. The data is available on the Process Computer System in the Plant Control Room, TSC, and the EOF.
Meteorological data from the 30 meter tower is collected every second and averaged every minute and 15 minutes. The data is available on the Process Computer System in the Plant Control Room, TSC, and the EOF.
Meteorological data from one train of sensors on the 100 meter tower is provided as digital averages in the Control Room. Displays of current and 15 minute running average meteorological data from both sensor trains on the 100 meter tower and 30 meter tower are simultaneously available on computer terminals in both the TSC and EOF.
The Meteorological Data Collection software includes data quality control tests which flag questionable or bad data to the user. Plant Chemistry personnel access hourly averaged data on a daily basis and review the data for reasonableness in accordance with plant Chemistry Department procedures. Plant I&C personnel perform a monthly surveillance test on the 100 meter tower and annual instrument calibrations on both towers in accordance with the plant surveillance program. System problems are corrected through the plant Work Order process.
In addition to the site meteorological monitoring system, regional meteorological data is available through the National Weather Service by commercial telephone. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Weather Alert radios are also installed in the Control Room, TSC and EOF to provide warning of adverse weather.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 69 of 119 M/eak Radiological Monitors 7.3.1.3 Process Radiation Monitoring System 7.3.1.3.1 The function of the process radiation monitoring system is to provide a continuous monitoring and readout of the radioactivity of all process lines and vents that can release radioactivity directly to the environs. In addition, this system also continuously measures, indicates and records the radioactivity concentration levels of in-plant process streams and vents. A list of the plant process monitors is provided in Table 11.
Area Radiation Monitoring System 7.3.1.3.2 A list of the Area Radiation Monitors is provided in Table 12.
The functions of the Area Radiation Monitoring System are:
- 1. Warn of excessive gamma radiation levels in areas where nuclear fuel is stored or handled.
- 2. Provide operating personnel with a continuous indication in the main Control Room of gamma radiation levels at selected locations within the various plant buildings.
- 3. Contribute supervisory information to the Control Room so that correct decisions may be made with respect to deployment of personnel in the event of a radiation incident.
- 4. Assist in the detection of unauthorized or inadvertent movement of radioactive material in the plant including the radwaste area.
- 5. Supplement other systems including Process Radiation Monitoring, Leak Detection, etc., in detecting abnormal migrations of radioactive material in or from the process streams.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 70 of 119 M/eak
- 6. Provide local alarms at key points where a substantial change in radiation level might be of immediate importance to personnel frequenting the area.
- 7. Maintain a permanent record of the radiation levels in the areas being monitored.
Process Monitors 7.3.1.4 There are many instruments in the plant which 7.3.1.4.1 may be used to assess the many potential conditions that the plant may experience.
These instruments may be used individually or in groups of indicators to assess a certain situation. There is no specific indication that in itself can correctly identify an emergency condition 100% of the time. Therefore, the operators must utilize their general knowledge along with the guidelines provided in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure A.2-101 (CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES) to analyze process indications. Specific process monitors of reactor systems which are used during various plant emergencies are discussed in Section 4.0, Emergency Classification System. In addition, a summary of the types of measured parameters in the Control Room is provided in Table 13, Instruments Available for Monitoring Major Systems.
Reactor Protection System 7.3.1.4.2 The Reactor Protection System is designed to prevent, in conjunction with the Primary Containment and Containment Isolation Systems, the release of radioactive materials in excess of the guidelines of 10CFR50.67, and to prevent fuel damage as a consequence of single operator error or single equipment failure.
When specified limits have been exceeded, the Reactor Protection System initiates a reactor scram.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 71 of 119 M/eak Primary Containment Isolation System 7.3.1.4.3 The purpose of the Primary Containment Isolation System is to prevent the release of radioactive materials in excess of the guidelines of 10CFR50.67 by isolating the reactor vessel and closing containment where required following an accident.
Containment Radiation Monitor 7.3.1.5 There are two containment radiation monitors which have ion chamber detectors and a response range of 100 to 108 R/hr.
The detectors are located at approximately the midline of the drywell and separated to enhance the redundant feature of the system. As safety monitors, they satisfy 1E requirements and are qualified under LOCA conditions to IEEE 323-1974. The detectors are encased in steel to protect them from containment sprays and high temperatures.
In the event of a large release of radioactivity to the containment atmosphere, the containment monitors can be used to estimate the amount of activity available for release from containment.
Fire Detection Devices 7.3.1.6 Early Warning Fire Detectors 7.3.1.6.1 Fire detectors (smoke, heat, and flame) are located in most areas of the plant. The detectors in each area initiate an alarm locally and in the Control Room upon detecting either combustion or a failure in the detector system.
Detectors in certain areas of the plant will activate their respective sprinkler systems.
HAD (Heat Activated Device) 7.3.1.6.2 The HAD System utilizes the heat from a fire to operate a pneumatic system to either sound alarms or automatically initiate a deluge or sprinkler system. The HAD System is used in conjunction with the building siding deluge, the cooling tower deluges, the recirculation MG set deluges, and the lube oil reservoir deluge.
These systems can also be operated locally.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 72 of 119 M/eak LHD (Linear Heat Detection) 7.3.1.6.3 The LHD utilizes a Protectowire linear heat fire detection system and is capable of initiating an alarm once its rated activation temperature is reached.
Post-Accident Sample System 7.3.1.7 The Post-Accident Sample System (PASS) was designed to provide a means of assessing core damage during and after a loss-of-coolant accident. The facility is located outside of secondary containment to enhance accessibility. Local shielding and area radiation monitoring are also provided to protect the operator.
The capabilities of the system include:
Large and small volume liquid coolant samples 7.3.1.7.1 from jet pumps A and B and RHR pumps A and B;
Gas samples from drywell and torus.
7.3.1.7.2 Facilities and Equipment for Off-Site Monitoring 7.3.2 Geophysical Phenomena Monitors 7.3.2.1 In the event that a seismic disturbance is indicated by on-site detection equipment, plant procedures require the operator to confirm the validity and intensity of the disturbance by contacting an off-site source. The list of off-site sources includes:
Prairie Island Nuclear Plant 7.3.2.1.1 (Located near Red Wing, Minnesota);
National Earthquake Information Service 7.3.2.1.2 (Golden, Colorado)
Radiological Monitors 7.3.2.2 The Monticello off-site radiation monitoring program includes TLD stations which are located in the general areas of the site boundary, in an outer ring, in special interest areas, and in control stations, many miles from the plant. Also included in the program is a group of air monitoring stations positioned on the site boundary and in the city of Monticello.

EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 73 of 119 M/eak Laboratory Facilities 7.3.2.3 In the event that the lab facilities on-site become unusable or overloaded, back-up facilities are available. The chemistry labs at Prairie Island are available for chemical analysis work. For radiochemical analysis, the back-up countroom at the EOF is equipped with a computer-based multi-channel analyzer and gross beta counting equipment. The counting facilities at Prairie Island are also available, if needed.
Protective Facilities and Equipment 7.4 Assembly Points 7.4.1 In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency, the Site Administration Building (SAB) is designated as the assembly point for evacuated personnel. The SAB is located approximately 1000 feet south of the plant.
This structure offers cover from fallout, but does not have special ventilation or shielding properties. It has the capacity to handle the number of people expected to report there. An emergency equipment locker at the assembly point contains a supply of emergency equipment and protective clothing.
The Receiving Warehouse has been identified as an alternate assembly point for specific events. This facility may be used to relocate and assemble and account for non-essential personnel during security threats.
Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) 7.4.2 The EOF is located approximately 1 mile southeast of the plant and is activated at the Alert, Site Area or General Emergency classification. The EOF is contained within the site Training Center which houses the Training Staff, administrative offices and Control Room Simulator.
The EOF was designed and constructed IAW NUREG 0696 and is a concrete structure which contains sufficient shielding (for the EOF section of the building) to provide a protection factor of 5. The EOF portion of the building is served by two independent off-site power sources for reliability.
The building ventilation system includes an emergency mode which provides filtered air to pressurize the EOF through a high efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filtration system. The layout of the building entrances and exits were also designed to facilitate emergency operations.
Radiological monitoring of the EOF is provided by air sampling and Dosimeter Area Radiation Monitor (DARM) which may be supplemented with radiological surveys by the EOF Radiation Protection Staff.
Extensive communications equipment is installed to provide primary and back-up methods of communicating with plant Emergency Response Facilities, utility headquarters, off-site agencies and utility Field Monitoring teams. Critical plant parameter data is available in the EOF through the plant Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS).
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:

Back-up EOF 7.4.3 The Back-up EOF is located at the Xcel Energy corporate office in downtown Minneapolis, 45 miles southeast of the plant.
In the event the primary EOF became uninhabitable during a real emergency, the functions of the EOF would be transferred to the Back-up EOF.
Extensive communications equipment is installed to provide primary and back-up methods of communicating with plant emergency Response Facilities, off-site agencies and utility Field Monitoring teams. Critical plant parameter data is available in the Back-up EOF through the plant Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS). Meteorological data is provided and displayed by the ERIS system. Off site dose projection is provided by RASCAL.
Emergency Kits 7.4.4 Table 14 lists the location and general contents of emergency kits to be used in response to an emergency at the Monticello Plant.
First Aid and Medical Supplies 7.5 First Aid Center 7.5.1 A decon shower and first aid supplies are located in the Main Access Control area in the lower level of the Plant Administration Building.
Immediate and temporary care may be given to a victim in this area. If the injury involves contamination that cannot be removed without causing further injury, steps will be taken to minimize the spread of contamination until medical assistance arrives or until the victim has been transported to the hospital.
First Aid Kits 7.5.2 First Aid kits are located in the Fire Brigade Room at Main Access Control, Work Execution Center and various other areas on the plant site.
Stretchers and shock blankets are located on each level of the Containment Building, Turbine Building and Main Access Control.
Damage Control Equipment and Supplies 7.6 Firefighting Equipment 7.6.1 A full line of fire fighting equipment and supplies is available for damage control operations. The equipment is stored in the Fire Brigade Room adjacent to the Main Access Control area in addition to various areas within the plant for easy access and quick response to fires.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 75 of 119 M/eak Spill and Leak Control Equipment 7.6.2 Spill and leak control equipment includes electric and gas driven pumps, various patching supplies and welding equipment. This equipment is available in the warehouse along with machine shop facilities for response to a wide variety of problems.
Public Alert and Notification System (PANS) 7.7 Within the Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) there exists provisions for alerting and providing notification to the public. The state and local authorities are responsible for activation of this system.
The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant has developed a 106 unit fixed siren system design for essentially 100% coverage of the population within 10 miles of the Site.
Sirens installed by MNGP have been sited according to a 70dB criteria to ensure the required coverage. Provisions for transient population notification are also included in State and County plans.
Emergency Alert System Auto Dialing Telephone Systems 7.8 To further ensure prompt notification, auto-dialing systems are used to notify various commercial, institutional, and education facilities in the 10 mile zone. These locations may harbor large groups of people during all or part of a day. Auto dialing systems will be activated by the local counties.
In the event of an emergency condition, alert and notification information will be relayed through established communication links described in the Minnesota Emergency Response Plan. Upon receiving notification of the emergency, state and local governments will, if necessary, activate public warning and information procedures which include the State Emergency Alert System (EAS). With this system, essentially 100% of the population in the 0-10 mile zone will be alerted within 15 minutes.
In the event a county primary siren activation system fails to operate, each county has a backup siren activation process on a separate activation system utilizing a different tower and controls for activation of the sirens.
In the event a siren or sirens fail to receive the activation signal or function properly, each county has maps, directions and instructions for notifying the public in the areas where the sirens did not function.
Mapping 7.9 10 mile EPZ maps are periodically updated to reflect population and geo-physical changes.

EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 86 of 119 M/eak 8.0 MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Organizational Preparedness 8.1 Emergency Response Organization Training 8.1.1 Training of ERO personnel is controlled by the EP Training Program Description (TPD). The requirements for training in the TPD are based on a graded approach to the systematic approach to training.
Off-site Emergency Preparedness Coordinators will make provisions for the training of those off-site organizations who may be called upon to provide assistance in the event of an emergency.
Drills, Exercises and Tests 8.1.2 The Off-site Nuclear Emergency Plan contains the specific requirements for the conduct of required drills and exercises.
The conduct of periodic drills and exercises are the responsibility of the Monticello Business Support Group in accordance with the Emergency Preparedness Drill & Exercise Manual, which includes:
An exercise which tests the integrated capability and basic 8.1.2.1 elements of the Emergency Plan SHALL be conducted every 2 years. This exercise may be included in the full participation biennial exercise which tests the off-site state and local emergency plans. At least once every six years, an exercise should demonstrate a response to a terroristic (hostile action based) event.
In order to ensure that adequate emergency response 8.1.2.2 capabilities are maintained during the interval between biennial exercises, drills SHALL be conducted including at least one drill involving a combination of some of the principal functional areas of the on-site emergency response capabilities. The principal functional areas of emergency response include activities such as management and coordination of emergency response, accident assessment, protective action decision making, and plant system repair and corrective actions. During these drills, activation of all of the Emergency Plans response facilities (TSC, OSC, and EOF) is not necessary, opportunities to consider accident management strategies may be provided, supervised instruction is permitted, operating staff may have the opportunity to resolve problems (success paths) rather than have controllers intervene, and the drills may focus on on-site training objectives.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 90 of 119 M/eak 9.0 RECOVERY General Approach 9.1 In general, the site organization will be responsible for the short term recovery, that is recovery from an emergency condition in which no core damage or serious release of radioactivity to the environment has occurred.
If it is clear that a high potential exists for core damage or a serious release of radioactivity to the environment has occurred, a Recovery Phase will be activated to provide for the long-term recovery actions and for establishing support arrangements.
Before reoccupying buildings after an emergency, certain recovery criteria must be satisfied:
x There must be assurance that the problem encountered is solved and that the same incident cannot immediately recur; x
The normally occupied areas must be free of significant contamination; x
Radiation areas and High Radiation areas must be properly defined; x
Airborne radioactivity must be eliminated or controlled.
Investigation of Incidents 9.2 All incidents SHALL be investigated by qualified plant staff personnel and reported to the Plant Operations Review Committee, Management and Safety Review Committee (MSRC) and the NRC in accordance with guidelines for reportable events which are set forth in the Administrative Control Directives and the Technical Specifications.
Recovery Procedures 9.3 All recovery operations SHALL be performed in accordance with written procedures.
These procedures SHALL include the following activities:
x Investigation of the course of the incident.
x Investigation of plant conditions following an accident.
x Repair and restoration of facilities.
x Testing and startup of restored facilities.
Methods for determining the extent of radioactive contamination and general protective measures to be taken for personnel performing recovery operations are established in site Radiation Protection Procedures.
Written procedures for recovery of the facility from the specific post accident conditions will be prepared by qualified plant staff members and submitted to the Plant Operations Review Committee. The Plant Operations Review Committee approval of all such procedures is required prior to their initiation.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT E-PLAN TITLE:
EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 43 Page 91 of 119 M/eak Criteria for Resumption of Operation 9.4 If the plant is shutdown as the result of an emergency, it will be restarted only when:
x The conditions which caused the emergency are corrected.
x The cause of the emergency is understood.
x Restoration, repair and testing is completed as required.
x No unreviewed safety questions exist.
x All conditions of the license and technical specifications are satisfied.
Long Term Recovery 9.5 If extensive plant damage exists and contamination of plant or site environs has occurred, then a Recovery Phase will be required.
Activation of the Recovery Phase will take place in an incremental manner as the functions change from operational to engineering/construction. The decision to activate the Recovery Phase will be made by Site Management. The Recovery Manager will be selected from several qualified designees who are members of the site organization. The Emergency Manager and the Emergency Director will share responsibility at least during the early part of the Recovery Phase.
If a transition to the Recovery Phase becomes necessary, the site engineering/construction oriented staff would provide the nucleus of the organization responsible to carry out the Recovery Phase.
The plant staff would be augmented as required by specialists from the site organization and the NSPM/Xcel Energy corporate office. These speciality areas include Engineering Services, Licensing Administration, Maintenance, Quality Assurance, Communications and Security personnel. In addition, appropriate assistance would be secured from the Architect-Engineer and the Technical Support Services vendor organizations. This support could be broadened as required by consultant help from the several organizations familiar with the MNGP and organization. The overall organizations envisioned for a substantial Recovery Phase would be a blend of site staff and appropriate vendor and consultant personnel. On a prior basis it is counter productive to define in detail the extensive organization that might be involved in a sizable Recovery Phase because of the unlimited variation of conditions that could result from plant emergencies. However, the nucleus organization has been identified together with guidelines on how the organization might be expanded to meet the requirements demanded at the time.
When the Emergency Manager and Emergency Director agree that the emergency condition has been terminated, a complete transfer of the responsibilities for off-site support may be made to the Recovery Organization. The EOF will then become the Recovery Center and will function as Command Center for the Recovery Organization activation and implementation in accordance with applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT A.2-410 TITLE:
OUT-OF-PLANT SURVEYS Revision 24 Page 4 of 32 M/arb 3.5 The Sample Courier(s) are responsible for:
3.5.1 Transportation of samples (taken by the Field Teams) to the EOF.
4.0 DISCUSSION Off-site surveys during an emergency are normally performed by sister plant Radiation Protection personnel when the EOF is fully activated. Prior to this, off-site surveys must be performed by the affected plants personnel. Surveys of on-site, out-of-plant areas are always assigned to the affected plants personnel.
During the initial stage of an emergency, the number of personnel available to perform surveys may be limited. The REC will make decisions on deployment of personnel resources. When the RPSS position is staffed and the EOF is fully operational, control of the Field Teams will be transferred to the RPSS.
There are normally two vehicles designated for off-site monitoring purposes. The Radiation Protection Coordinator maintains control of the keys (24 or 25) for these vehicles.
The EOF Count Room is the primary off-site facility for the receipt and analysis of radioactive samples. The EOF Count Room is staffed by Chemistry personnel from the affected plant who are familiar with its equipment and operation. Unless circumstances dictate otherwise, the EOF Count Room will be used for most samples taken pursuant to this procedure.
The ability to sample and analyze for I-131 meets NRC Commitment 03002A.
GPS units are available in the EVES building to assist field team members in identifying precise sample locations with GPS coordinates when samples are taken at locations other than the pre-determined survey points. Also, the pre-determined survey point coordinates are programmed into the GPS units so the GPS units can assist in directing the teams to and finding these points.
Portable electronic data devices can be used as a tool for the field teams to access the Emergency Electronic Information System (EEIS).
5.0 PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Monitoring and sampling instruments SHALL be operated in accordance with standard procedures for each instrument type.
5.2 During off-hours activations, Field Team personnel should verify their fitness-for-duty (FFD) with appropriate supervisory personnel (F/T communicator) prior to engaging in activities which directly affect the Health and Safety of the public (e.g. off-site surveys to validate off-site dose projections). This confirmation may be conducted via radio (or telephone) and need not occur in person.
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT A.2-410 TITLE:
OUT-OF-PLANT SURVEYS Revision 24 Page 5 of 32 M/arb 5.3 Minnesota has severe weather conditions which can seriously affect instrument operation. The following guidelines have been established to eliminate or minimize cold weather instrument problems:
5.3.1 Allow approximately 5 minutes for the instrument to warm up completely.
5.3.2 If the outside temperature is greater than 32°F(0°C), instrument use is not restricted by temperature.
5.3.3 If the outside temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and 0°F (-18°C), use the instrument outside no more than 5 (five) minutes.
5.3.4 If the outside temperature is between 0°F (-18°C) and -20°F (-28°C),
use the instrument outside no more than 2 (two) minutes.
5.3.5 If the outside temperature is below -20°F (-28°C), the instrument should not be used outside unless special batteries (alkaline or Ni-Cd) are installed in the instrument. These batteries increase the minimum temperature range to -40°F (-40°C) but allows less than 30 seconds of use in this type of environment.
5.4 If an instrument malfunctions or pegs out during survey operations, immediately exit the area by the same route used to enter, and obtain a new instrument if necessary.
5.5 During radio and cellular phone communications, observe the following precautions:
5.5.1 Since radio and cellular phone communications can be intercepted by commercially available scanners, all communications must be brief, factual and free of all exclamatory or alarming expressions.
5.5.2 Carefully word data transmission to minimize confusion, in particular, avoid abbreviations such as mrem which could be misinterpreted as rem.

Page 4 of 7 I/arb 4.0 DISCUSSION When re-entry operations are to be conducted in hazardous radiation areas, emergency exposure criteria will be in accordance with the guidelines established in EPIP A.2-401 (EMERGENCY EXPOSURE CONTROL). Only the Emergency Director or the Radiation Emergency Coordinator are authorized to permit emergency exposures.
The Radiation Protection Coordinator will direct the activities of the team via radio after the team has been dispatched from the Control Point IAW. Part 6.2 of this procedure.
5.0 PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Re-entry teams SHALL consist of a minimum of two individuals, at least one of which is qualified in radiation protection. The team members should remain in visual/voice contact at all times when in the affected area.
5.2 If there is reason to believe that the atmosphere within the affected area is toxic or an oxygen deficiency exists, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) respiratory protection SHALL be used. In this case, one or more individuals should be assigned to remain outside the affected area, standing by in the appropriate protective clothing, to effect search and rescue if it becomes necessary.
5.3 Appropriate protective clothing should be specified, for re-entry team members, on the basis of suspected conditions. If a reasonable estimation of radiological conditions in the affected areas cannot be made, protective clothing with the highest protection factor should be specified.
5.4 If at any time during re-entry observed dose rates exceed a predetermined level, if the exposure of re-entry team members approaches a predetermined amount or if radiation monitoring instruments appear to be malfunctioning the re-entry team should be directed to retreat to a safe area.
5.5 Mechanical or Robotic Equipment should be used whenever possible for entry into unknown environs.
5.6 Lifelines should be used in areas containing heavy smoke or in areas where visual contact between team members is impossible or hampered.
