DRAFT REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (2)
CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY PLAN CHANGES DOCKET NUMBER 50-302 (TAC No.: MF3415)
By letter dated September 26, 2013 (Agency-Wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number (No.) ML13274A584), Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (DEF) requested a license amendment (LAR) to the Radiological Emergency Response Plan for the Crystal River Nuclear Plant, Unit 3 (CR3), heretofore identified as the Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP). DEF requests review and approval of the CR3 PDEP to revise the emergency action level scheme and emergency plan to support the permanently defueled condition of CR3, as stated in the letter dated March 13, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13058A380).
The Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR), Division of Preparedness and Response (DPR), Operating Reactor Licensing and Outreach Branch (ORLOB) reviewed the license amendment request (LAR) using the guidance contained in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (November 1980), as revised to support an emergency plan for a decommissioning power reactor facility.
Based on the staffs initial review of the submittal, a request for additional information (RAI) was sent on April 10, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14113A363) to facilitate the staffs continued technical review and DEF was informed that supplemental RAIs may be required based on the staffs concurrent technical review of CR3s requested exemptions to emergency plan requirements in Appendix E to Part 50 and the planning standards of §50.47(b), as well as other relevant issues associated with decommissioning. DEF provided a response to these RAIs via letter dated May 23, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14154A408).
Based on the review of the response to these RAIs, the staff has determined that supplemental RAIs are needed to ensure that the staff can reach a reasonable assurance finding in accordance with 10 CFR 50.47(a)(1)(i).
Note: These RAIs are numbered as a continuation of the numbering sequence presented in the previous set of RAIs related to this license amendment request. A draft of the proposed evaluation criteria for decommissioned, permanently defueled emergency plans, based on remaining applicable portions of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, is provided (Attachment 1) for your information only. The proposed evaluation criteria is based on proposed exemptions to emergency plan requirements as outlined in SECY-14-0066, and is still under review and has be finalized. However, it is provided to help inform your response to these RAIs.
CR3 LAR - Decommissioning Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 1 of 3 DRAFT
CR3-RAI-17 NRCs evaluation of the requested exemption considers the licensees ability to promptly implement mitigation measures for the spent fuel pool (SFP). In response to RAI-02, DEF indicated that it had performed an on-shift analysis for emergency response organization (ERO) functions to ensure sufficient personnel will be able to respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory using the minimum shift staffing as indicated in Section 6.0. There is no reference to this on-shift analysis in the CR3 PDEP. Please provide further justification for retaining existing language or revise Section 6.0 of the CR3 PDEP accordingly to reflect the revised licensing basis for the level of on-shift staffing.
Additionally, Table 6.1, Shift and Emergency Staffing Capabilities, does not indicate any on-shift personnel assigned to the Major Functional Area of Plant Condition Evaluation, Repair and Corrective Action. RAI-02 states that There would be three on-shift positions manning the Fire Brigade. Additionally, Table 6.1 indicates for Firefighting that the response is per the Fire Protection Plan. How does CR-3 maintain the personnel and the ability to perform mitigation actions when the number personnel assigned that function can be revised by another regulatory process other than 10 CFR 50.54(q)?
CR3-RAI-18 DEFs analysis provides reasonable assurance that in granting the requested exemption to CR3: (1) an offsite radiological release will not exceed the Environmental Protection Agencys Protective Action Guidelines at the site boundary for a design-basis accident; and (2) in the unlikely event of a severe beyond design-basis accident resulting in a loss of air cooling, there is sufficient time to initiate appropriate mitigating actions, and if a significant release is projected to occur, there is sufficient time for offsite agencies to take protective actions using a Comprehensive Emergency Management Planning (CEMP) to protect the health and safety of the public.
Historically, the staff has approved a range of ERO augmentation times of one to two hours.
These augmentation times are currently in place for all decommissioning sites except Zion, which was originally approved as one hour and was later approved to be four hours. Under Section 6.0 of the CR3 PDEP, provide further justification why a four-hour ERO augmentation time is acceptable in the event of a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory to successfully implement required mitigation actions, and if necessary, for offsite response organizations to implement early protective measures.
CR3-RAI-19 Section 14.2 of the CR3 PDEP states, The EC [Emergency Coordinator] will initiate evacuation of the Protected Area if deemed necessary and must account for all personnel within the Protected Area and ascertain the names of missing individuals within 60-minutes. Please provide further justification for retaining existing language or revise to reflect that the 60-minutes time clock starts at event declaration. In addition, please revise to ensure that it is understood that accountability must be maintained throughout the event. (Note that this information is consistent with what is provided in CR3 Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EM) EM-205, Personnel Emergency Responsibilities Regarding Discovery, Assembly, Evacuation, and Accountability Within the Protected Area. Also consider revising this procedure to be consistent with the CR3 PDEP.)
CR3 LAR - Decommissioning Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 2 of 3 DRAFT
CR3-RAI-20 Section 6.3 of CR3 EM-502, Conduct of the Emergency Coordinator, states, in part: All emergency declarations should be made within 30-minutes for information becoming available to Control Room personnel that conditions have reached an EAL threshold based upon valid indications, reports, or conditions. The CR3 PDEP does not provide any information related to the timeliness of emergency classifications. Please provide further justification for retaining existing language or revise the CR3 PDEP accordingly to reflect intent to have the capability of declaring an emergency classification within 30 minutes of information becoming available.
