JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGE (From Questions 1. 2 & 3 on Page 1 See Justification for Answer to Question 2. A detailed description is made for each change in Attachment I and the reason (justification) for it in Attachment 2.

This revision:

• Maintains reasonable assurance that protective actions can and will be taken.

• Does not result in the loss of ability to meet the standards and requirements of 10CFR50.

• Does not delete, reduce or contradict any Emergency Planning commitment or regulatory requirement.

Justification for Answer to Ouestion 1:

Catawba Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Revision 03-1 contains the following categories of revisions as described in detail in Attachment 1 and in the Justification in Attachment 2 for Answers to Question 2.

The changes described above do not have an adverse impact on the ability of Catawba or any off-site agencies to reasonably assure that adequate protection can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency; therefore, these changes are not considered to decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

Justification for Answer to Ouestion 2:

The answer to Question 2 is determined by evaluating the questions listed in the chart provided on page

2. The following Attachment 2 provides the evaluation of the questions on page 2.

10CFR50.47(b)

Revision 4 (02/28/03) 3

Attachment 2 SECTION A - ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY

• Changed the name of South Carolina Emergency Preparedness to South Carolina Emergency Management Division: to reflect their new name. This name change was also made in other locations throughout the Emergency Plan (A-1, B-5, F-1).

• On page A4 the words "Section Q" were added as an editorial change.

• Under Section A.3, page A-4, the "DNC Agreement Letter" was replaced with a Duke Power Company "Dosimetry Laboratory Backup Location: agreement letter. This new agreement letter (number 14) explains that Duke Power will now provide our own backup dosimetry reader at the Environmental Center at the McGuire Island. Reference the letter for further explanation.

SECTION B - SITE EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION

• Detailed descriptions of the public affairs organization are located in the implementing procedure for JIC activation and in other controlled public affairs documents and guidelines. Since the public affairs emergency response organization provides emergency communications support to the entire company (i.e., for storms, environmental events, etc.) and since the information is maintained and monitored in other documents and procedures, having this information in the site emergency plan is redundant.

• Under section B.7, page B-2, the word "group" was changed to "function." The word "function" better describes how section G refers to Public Affairs than does the word "group."

• On pages B-8 and B-10 the words "upon EOF activation" were changed to "when the EOF Field Monitoring Coordinator is ready" to allow the EOF FMT Coordinator to take charge of FMTs before EOF activation. By allowing the EOF to take charge of the FMTs when they are ready and not wait for EOF activation would take this burden from the TSCIOSC sooner.

• On Figure B-4, page B-11, changing the name of Senior VP of NGD to "Executive VP of NGD" is editorial.

SECTION C - EMERGENCY RESPONSE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES There are no Emergency Plan changes included in Revision 03-1 that affect emergency response support and resources.

SECTION D - EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

• Deleting the extra space on page D-6 is editorial.

• Revising page D- 11 to change one hour to "four" hour report updates the Basis on this page to match the current OCFR50.72(b) non-emergency event requirements.

• Pages D-31 and D-33 (PIP G-03-00417) (PIP C-03-05658)

This change is based on industry experience and the fact NRC agrees that "if RPS did not get an input you do not have an ATWS." A new sentence was added in the basis of "Alert" EAL 4.4.A. , "Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint has been Exceeded and Manual Trip was Successful," and in the basis of SAE EAL 4.4.5.1, "Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint has been Exceeded and Manual Trip was not Successful." The new sentence is "A failure of the protective signal to trip the turbine that initiates a reactor trip does not constitute an ATWS event if the reactor continues to operate."

• Pages D-47 and D-5 I "An electrical breaker flash that creates high temperatures for a short duration and merely localized scorching to that breaker and its compartment should not be considered a fire." This 4 (02/28/03)

Revision 44 (02/28103) 4

Attachment 2 statement was changed from should be to should not be considered a fire because after conferring with MNS and CNS management, the old statement did not meet the criteria for a fire. The criteria for classification as a result of a fire is the "observation of flames or large quantities of smoke and heat are observed." This EAL basis will now be consistent with MNS, CNS and the industry.

• On page D-52 FSAR was editorially changed to "UFSAR" to reflect the current name.

SECTION E - NOTIFICATION METHODOLOGY

• The changes on pages E-2 and E-4 are editorial updates of the procedure number RPIO/A/50001001.

SECTION F - EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS

• The words added in section F. l.c are editorial and reflect that the TSCIEOF have HPN capability.

• Figures F-I and F-2 were corrected to show that York County does nothave a low band radio. There is no requirement to have this low band radio, and they have several other means of communications available.

• Figure F-2 was updated to show the state radio links that are available between Mecklenburg County, Gaston County, York County and Catawba TSC. This radio link has been available but was not shown on Figure F-2.

SECTION G - PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION

• St paragraph:

Removed "(in the form of a transient brochure/emergency planning calendar)" to allow flexibility and use of new technologies in providing emergency planning information.

Examples of new technologies that may be used in the future include, but are not limited to:

laminated cards, posters, phone books inserts, videos, computers, etc.

2 nd paragraph:

Information moved to G.3.a.

Section G.1&G.2 15' paragraph:

• Removed company name due to changing department organizations.

• Moved information about primary radio control stations from 2nd paragraph to 1' paragraph to tighten wording and updated name to primary emergency alert system radio stations.

• Added clarification that pickup points are specific to SC.

• Moved wording about local numbers to call for further information from 2nd paragraph to I' paragraph to make information more concise.

2nd paragraph:

• Removed words "the general office public affairs staff' from the list of those identifying transient populations because this function is no longer performed by the general office public affairs staff.

• Deleted sentence describing what is in publications because more concise information is included in the first paragraph of this section, making this redundant information.

• Moved information about primary radio control stations and local numbers to first paragraph in this section.

3 rd paragraph:

• Reworded paragraph to be more concise.

5 (02128/03)

Revision 44 (02/28/03) 5s

Attachment 2 4th paragraph:

• Deleted paragraph - is statement of the obvious and adds no value to the utility plan.

Section G.3.a ISt paragraph:

• Reworded first sentence to clarify function of joint information center and media centers.

• Clarified location of on-site media center.

• Clarified location of Charlotte media center.

• Clarified that the PRIMARY contacts for news media are the news manager and public spokesperson (the other positions listed provide support for the primary contacts and therefore they are being removed).

• Public Affairs' established process is to deal with the media at the site, as long as conditions or circumstances allow. The process involves coordination with the site VP, Security and EP. If the site is being evacuated or access to the site is restricted, the on-site media center is closed with operations and personnel relocated to the Charlotte media center. The process provides flexibility by using either or both media centers. -

2"d paragraph:

• Reworded section to indicate that processes and procedures within public affairs address how information is gathered and disseminated and referenced the applicable procedures.

• The current public affairs processes and procedures have been modified slightly from those created to address the 1996 Annual Exercise weaknesses. These minor changes were made to enhance communications flow and coordination between the various locations that provide support to the public affairs emergency response organization. The current processes and procedures have been tested in drills and actual response to other emergencies such as storms, hurricanes, etc. and they do not result in a decrease in the plan or our commitment to provide timely, accurate information to the media and other stakeholders.

Section G.3.b It paragraph:

• Removed company name due to changing department organizations.

• Removed information that was repeated from G.3.a. referencing the primary contact/spokesperson for the news media.

• Eliminated repeated information and tighten wording to more accurately address the requirements of NUREG 0654.

Section GA.a l' paragraph:

• Removed company name due to changing department organizations.

• Reworded section to more accurately reflect our processes for providing information to the media.

• Removed specific titles for spokespersons to allow for title changes within the company.

Section GA.b Is' paragraph:

• Removed specific titles because of changes in roles and responsibilities.

• Reworded sections to more accurately address the requirements of NUREG 0654 - current wording addresses only news conference times.

6 Revision 44 (02128/03)

(02/28/03) 6

Attachment 2 2nd paragraph:

• Removed state and county responsibilities from the utility plan. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) exists with each statetrisk county. The MOU outlines state, county and licensee responsibilities. Therefore, this information does not belong in the emergency plan.

• The responsibility for staffing and maintaining state and county technical liaisons is being transferred from public affairs to site emergency planning. Therefore, this information is being removed.

Section GA.c

,St paragraph:

• Removed specific position titles to allow changes in roles and responsibilities.

• Removed words "during news conferences" to allow PIOs to address rumors via appropriate communication vehicles.

2d- 6 paragraphs:

• Combined information to concisely address how information is shared with customers (neighbors/the public), employees, elected officials, regulatory agencies, governmental affairs, and industry groups.

• Removed specific information about processes at our customer service center because roles and responsibilities change with technological enhancements at our service center. Updated name of customer service center to customer contact center.

Section G.S ISt paragraph:

• Clarified wording and removed specifics from the plan to allow flexibility in providing information to the news media to meet the changing needs of the news media.

• The Procedure to Verify the Availability of Emergency Response Supplies, Equipment, and Telephone Numbers (PA ADM I) requires that an annual update to the media be performed.

Section G.6 15' paragraph:

• Section G.6 is not a part of NUREG 0654. Per NUREG 0654, Rev.0 I, B.7.d, we must specify those responsible for the release of information to the news media. Those roles are specified in section G.3.a. Therefore, this section was removed from the emergency plan.

Figure G-2

• Deleted Figure G-2. This information is included in the implementing procedure for JIC activation and is redundant information in the emergency plan. Hard copies are available on request. This information is also included on our web site at:

http://www.dukepower.com/community/safety/nuclear/catawbal SECTION H - EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

• Changes on page H-2 and Figure H-2 on page H-8 concern moving the OSC from 574 elevation of service building to 609 elevation of service building. The following is a copy of the 50.54q evaluation and justification for moving the OSC dated 8/4/03:

The current OSC is located in the service building on elevation 574. This is a cable spreading room that has been upgraded to accommodate the utilization of this area as the OSC. This area functioned well as the OSC with exception of the ventilation noise level. 7 Revision 4 (02/28/03) 4 (02128103) 7

Attachment 2 The OCC is an office-type area located next to the Site's Work Control Center (WCC) in the service building on elevation 609. The purpose of the OCC is to provide a common, central location for key outage management personnel during the execution phase of the outage. It may also be used by the Unit Threat Team when activation of a team is required. These are the only times the OCC is utilized.

The OCC area that will be utilized as the OSC is comparable to the area currently being used. The environment in this area is actually more conducive to facility command and control since it is much quieter than the current OSC (i.e.: no plant ventilation noise)

The following documents specify the requirements for the OSC. Each requirement as specified will be addressed with regards to the relocation of the OSC to the OCC Area.

NUREG - 0654 H.9 Each licensee shallprovidefor an onsite operationssupport center (assembly area)which shall have adequate capacity,.and supplies, including,for example, respiratoryprotection, protective clothing, portable lighting,portaxble radiationmonitoring equipment, cameras, and communications equipmentforpersonnel present in the assembly area The OCC area is comparable in size to the current OSC. Each OSC position in the new location will have the same computer and phone resources as in the old. All supplies, Radiation protection kits, monitoring equipment, and maintenance kits will be relocated to the new OSC area.

NUREG - 0696 3.1 Functions The operationalsupport center (OSQ is an onsite area separatefrom the control room and the TSC where licensee operations supportpersonnel will assemble in an emergency. The OSC shall: 0 Provide a location where plant logistic support can be coordinatedduringan emergency and The new OSC is located next to the Work Control Center (WCC) (outside the control room and TSC). Logistical support of plant operations under normal conditions is coordinated from the WCC. Moving the OSC to the OCC area closely parallels emergency logistical support with normal operations. This reduces the differences in support operations based on varied plant situations. A total of 4 ERO Drills have been conducted utilizing this area as the OSC. This area proved to be more than adequate in regards to logistic support of the control room and TSC.

Restrict control room access to those support personnel specifically requested by te shift supervisor.

The new OSC is located outside the control room. A total of 4 ERO Drills have been conducted utilizing this area as the OSC. Utilizing the OCC for OSC operations closely parallels outage operations management and WCC operations for normal plant operations. Similarity between emergency and8 Revision 44 (02128103)

Attachment 2 normal operations is a training experience enhancement.

3.2 Habitability No specific habitabilitycriteriaare establishedfor the OSC. If the OSC habitabilityis not comparable to that of the control room, the licensee's emergency plan shall include procedures for evacuation of OSC personnel in the event of a large radioactiverelease. These procedures also shall include provisionsfor the performance of the OSCfunctions by essential support personnelfrom other onsite locations Procedures for monitoring the OSC, evacuation of personnel from the OSC, and performance of OSC functions in the event of a large radiological release Include the following:

HP/0/B/10091026 HP101B/10091009 RP10/B150001024 RPIO/BI5000020 3.3 Communications The OSC shall have direct communications with the control room and with the TSC so that the personnel reporting to the OSC can be assigned to duties in support of emergency operations.

The OSC communicationssystem shall consist of one dedicatedtelephone extension to the control room, one dedicated telephone extension to the TSC, and one dial telephone capableof reaching onsite and off-site locations, as a minimum. Direct voice intercommunicationsand/or reliabledirect radio communications may be used to supplement these telephone communication links.

The new OSC will have the same phone resources as the current OSC. Designated phones will have preprogrammed numbers to the C/R and TSC. The Ericsson phone system for OPS bridge line access has also been installed in this area. Duke radio system will also be available in the OCC location for emergency communications as well. A total of 4 ERO Drills have been conducted utilizing this area as the OSC. This area proved to be more than adequate in regards to logistical support of the control room and TSC. Other enhancements will be made as part of an overall modification to relocate current enhancements to the OCC area.

Capable of reliable voice communications with the control room, TSC and EOF.

The facility will have the same phone resources as the current OSC. Designated phones will have preprogrammed numbers to the C/R, TSC, and EOF.

Additional information Although the new OSC facility will be operationally functional when the transition takes place, a number of enhancements of the facility have been included in a station modification that is awaiting budget and implementation consideration.

The OSC relocation plan does not change, delete or add to any Emergency Plan commitments contained in the Emergency Plan or other associated documents.

• Figure H-I on page H-7 was revised to update the TSC facility drawing to match some minor changes in the facility. The changes made to the TSC consist of rearranging some tables and cabinets and some plant telephone line locations. The changes were made to better facilitate the flow of communications and enhance our business practices.

SECTION I - ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT

• The NRC issued Amendments No. 193 (Facility Operating License NPF-35) and No. 185 (Facility Operating License NPF-52). The amendments delete TS section 5.5.4, "Post Accident Sampling,"

for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units I and 2, and thereby eliminate the requirements to have and maintain the post-accident sampling systems (PASS-Paiss/Pacs).

• In Emergency Plan change 02-1 a justification was made to eliminate the requirements to have and maintain the post-accident sampling system (PASS-Palss/Pacs). This justification was made based on meeting NRC sampling requirements according to the WCAP- 14986. The Chemistry and RP staffs revised their procedures and guidelines used to obtain these sample requirements. In this Emergency Plan change Section .2.a was revised to add additional words to describe CNS current Revision 4 (02/28/03) 10

Attachment 2 post accident contingency plans (procedures and guidelines) for obtaining NC and ND containment sump samples and post accident containment air samples.

SECTION J - PROTECTIVE RESPONSE

• Section J-5 on page J-2 is an editorial change of RP/0/A/5000/010.

• Section J-6 on page J-2 was revised as per the following:

The new standard procedure, SH10/B/2005/003 (Distribution of Potassium Iodide tablets in the Event of a Radioiodine Release), was implemented to replace CNS site procedure HP/O/B/1009016 with the same title.

This new procedure implemented a new "trigger" level for the distribution of potassium iodide. The previous level was 25 Rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) to the thyroid. The new level is 5 rem CDE-Thyroid. This change is being made based on new guidance from the FDA, the NRC, and the World Health Organization.

There are no other substantive changes being made with the implementation of this new procedure.

• Figure J-2 on page J-7 was replaced with another Figure J-2 which was redrawn to make the flowchart more user friendly. The same information from the old flowchart was retained, thus with the same input the same protective action recommendations from the new Figure J-2 will be obtained. There is no decrease in the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan with the new PAR flowchart.

SECTION K - RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL There are no Emergency Plan changes included in Revision 03-1 that affect radiological exposure control.

SECTION L - MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPORT There are no Emergency Plan changes included in Revision 03-1 that affectImedical and public health support.

SECTION M - RECOVERY AND REENTRY PLANNING AND POST ACCIDENT OPERATIONS There are no Emergency Plan changes included in Revision 03-1 that affect recovery and reentry planning and post accident operations.

SECTION N - EXERCISES AND DRILLS There are no Emergency Plan changes included in Revision 03-1 that affect exercises and drills.

SECTION 0 - RADIOLOGAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING

• Section 0 was revised to list the current location CNS Training Addendum 71 11.0" of the matrix(es) that describe what radiological emergency response training is required in order to be qualified to each ERO position.

• All other changes in section "O" are editorial.

SECTION P - RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PLANNING EFFORT

• All the changes in section "P" are editorial.

Revision 4 (02V28/03) I1I

Attachment 2

• The deletion of HP/01B11009/016 and addition of SHIO/B/2005/003 were described and justified in section J.

SECTION 0 - APPENDICES

• Appendices 1, 2 and 4 have no Emergency Plan changes included in Revision 03-1.

• Appendix 3:

The Catawba siren replacement project began in May 2001 and completed in September 2003. This project involved replacement of our Federal Signal Thunderbolt and STH-10 models with Federal Signal 2001 sirens. A total of 77 sirens were replaced as a part of this project.

Additionally, one (1) siren was added in Mecklenburg County based on year 2000 census data, which identified an area of increased population requiring 70dB coverage. This increases the total number of sirens in Mecklenburg County to 15, with an overall system total of 89 sirens for the Catawba EPZ. All 89 sirens are now Federal Signal model 2001 sirens. !I The Federal Signal 2001 sirens provide an increased radial coverage of over 1000 feet per siren. As a result, some sirens were relocated to maximize the benefit of the increased coverage and to help provide better coverage of previously isolated areas within and around the edge of the 10-mile EPZ.

Shadowing, road widening projects, signal strength, safe access, and property owner interests were also factors considered for these relocations.

Also, since the previously submitted Alert and Notification System report, the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the PC interface portion of the radio/feedback control system were upgraded and fully tested as a result of year 2000 (Y2K) compliance efforts. The Remote Controllers (RC's) have also been updated with new ATI model 66286 RC, MDS 900 MHz MAS radios and enclosures as a part of this project. All 89 sirens now have these new RCs.

All of the replacement sirens and RCs were adequately tested as part of the installation process.

The siren addition, relocations, and other upgrades described above still fulfill the requirements of 44 CFR 350 and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1. These changes do not alter or reduce the original physical system design previously approved by FEMA in a letter to the NRC dated 8-15-86.

Yearly PM's are conducted on the structural, electrical, and mechanical features of each siren, including the radio/feedback system. Each siren receives weekly low-growl and silent tests, as well as quarterly full-scale tests.

• Appendix 5 - the change made to this section involved updating agreement letters number 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. The understanding and agreement did not change. This revision does not reduce the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE This Emergency Plan for the Catawba Nuclear Site is established for the protection of life and property in all emergency and accident situations. It particularly applies to those radiological situations (radiation, contamination and reactor accidents) where the health and safety of station personnel and the general public may be involved; but it also includes other general industrial emergency and accident conditions involving radioactive materials such as fire, vehicular accidents, natural disasters, medical injury or illness and industrial security.

The plan described herein will be implemented at Catawba by incorporating it into detailed station Emergency Procedures; as such, it will be coordinated with station operating, radiological control, and industrial security procedures.

B. SCOPE The Emergency Plan is a coordinated effort involving station personnel; station facilities and equipment; the emergency resources of Duke Power Company corporate organizations; emergency services of various local, state and federal agencies having appropriate jurisdiction or concern for public health and safety, particularly the radiological emergency and emergency plans of local county Preparedness Agencies; South Carolina Emergency Management Division of the S.C. Adjutant General's Office, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, Bureau of Radiological Health; the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, and the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of Radiation Protection.

The Emergency Plan organization and the emergency organizations that have responsibilities in the management of an emergency condition at the station are ientified throughout the Plan. The Emergency Planning Zone concept is shown in NUREG-0654, Rev. 1, and is utilized in this plan.

The key elements of the Emergency Plan include:

a. An essentially uniform means of reporting and handling any emergency or accident situation.

b. A graded emergency classification system of increasing severity, based on specific criteria, Emergency Action Levels (EAL) and a method for relating EAL's to U.S.

EPA Protective Action Guides (PAG).

c. Interaction with the emergency plans of appropriate local, state and federal agencies concerned with public health and safety in the event of a reactor accident.

i-I Rev. 03-1 December, 2003

The Emergency Plan is compatible with facility design features, site, layout and site location, with respect to such considerations as access routes, surrounding population distributions and lake and land use.

Agreements have been made with local, state and federal authorities for coordination of activities in the event of an emergency. Local agencies provide fire protection, medical support, and ambulance rescue service upon request. In addition, the emergency plans of the Emergency Preparedness Agencies of the counties involved provides assistance and logistical support in the event that evacuation of portions of the Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone becomes necessary. The disaster plans of the Emergency Preparedness Agencies in York County where the station is located, and of the Emergency Management Agencies in the adjacent counties (Mecklenburg and Gaston) as they relate to the protection of the public who may be affected by an accident situation at Catawba, all include the following aspects:

a. Notification of their own Emergency Preparedness Agency personnel and other emergency services involved in their Emergency Plans.

b. Law enforcement and traffic control.

c. Notification or warning of persons in affected areas.

d. Evacuation as necessary to designated schools or other public buildings out of the affected area, where shelter, food, overnight accommodations, medical care, etc.,

would be made available.

e. Assistance and cooperation with related agencies in other counties, Duke Power Company and other state and federal agencies.

Means have been developed for notification and coordination of emergency activities with persons and groups on site as well as within the Exclusion Area, including portions on Lake Wylie which might be affected by an accident, as well as water authorities of nearby cities and industries downstream.

Duke Power intends to meet all of the requirements for early warning of the public and will periodically evaluate the resources necessary to provide this capability.

Radiological emergency situations, if they occur at all, are expected for the most part, to be highly localized, and only station property and station personnel are subject to any potential major hazard.

Members of the public are also within the Exclusion Area at various times (highway traffic, station visitors, boating and recreation on Lake Wylie, etc.). In case of a major accidental release of radioactivity, the general public and property in the Emergency Planning Zone may also be affected. The plan includes provisions for the protection of all persons in the plume exposure pathway, as well as in the ingestion pathway, of the Emergency Planning Zone.

i-2 Rev. 92-2 June, 1992

C. PLANNING BASIS The bases for this plan are the upgraded Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG-0654IFEMA-REP 1, Rev. 1, and IOCFR50. The overall objective of the Emergency Plan is to provide for early detection, warning and protective action response and recommendations for emergency conditions at Catawba that may affect the station proper and/or off-site areas. The range of emergency conditions is very large, starting with a zero point requiring no planning at all, up to planning for the worst possible accident scenario, regardless of its extremely low likelihood. Although the planning basis is independent of specific accident scenarios, a number of emergency conditions were considered in the development of this plan, including core melt release sequences.

The planning basis also considers time frames between initial accident recognition, response actions, and recommendation of appropriate protective actions in the event a potential for, or an actual release of radioactive materials is taking place. Knowledge of the potential for and the kinds of radioactive materials released, duration of the release and the time available to activate protective response on-site and off-site is important in determining what instructionsl recommendations are to be given. Location of the population affected and communication mechanisms to those authorities responsible for activating protective action is also an important part of the planning basis.

Emergencv Planning Zones With regard to the area over which planning efforts should be carried out, "Emergency Planning Zones" (EPZs) about each nuclear facility are defined both for the short term "plume exposure pathway" and for the longer term "ingestion exposure pathways." EPZs are defined as the areas for which planning is needed to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public in the event of an accident. The state response organizations are principally responsible for the planning associated with the ingestion exposure pathway.

The emergency plans are related to two predominant exposure pathways. They are:

a. Plume exposure pathway -- The principal exposure sources from this pathway are:

(a) external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited material; and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The duration of the release leading to potential exposure could range from one-half hour to days. For the plume exposure pathway, shelter and/or evacuation would likely be the principal immediate protective actions to be recommended for the general public.

The size (about 10 miles radius) of the plume exposure EPZ (refer to Figure i- I) was based primarily on the following considerations:

i-3 Rev. 94-1 Jan., 1994

a. projected doses from the traditional design basis accidents would not exceed Protective Action Guide levels outside the zone;

b. projected doses from most core melt sequences would not exceed Protective Action Guide levels outside the zone;

c. for the worst core melt sequences, immediate life threatening doses would generally not occur outside the zone;

d. detailed planning within 10 miles would provide a substantial base for expansion of response efforts in the event that this proved necessary.

b. Ingestion exposure pathway -- The principal exposure from this pathway would be from ingestion of contaminated water or foods such as milk, fresh vegetables or aquatic foodstuffs.

The duration of potential exposure could range in length from hours to months. For the ingestion exposure pathway, the planning effort involves the identification of major exposure pathways from contaminated food and water and the associated control and interdiction points and methods. The ingestion pathway exposures in general would represent a longer term problem, although some early protective actions to minimize subsequent contamination of milk or other supplies should be initiated (e.g., remove cows from pasture and put them on stored feed).

The size of the ingestion exposure EPZ (about 50 miles in radius, which also includes the 10-mile radius plume exposure EPZ [Refer to Figure i-21) was selected because:

a. the downwind range within which contamination will generally not exceed the Protective Action Guides is limited to about 50 miles from a power plant because of wind shifts during the release and travel periods;

b. there may be conversion of atmospheric iodine (i.e., iodine suspended in the atmosphere for long time periods) to chemical forms which do not readily enter the ingestion pathway;

c. much of any particulate materials in a radioactive plume would have been deposited on the ground within about 50 miles from the facility; and

d. the likelihood of exceeding ingestion pathway protective action guide levels at 50 miles is comparable to the likelihood of exceeding plume exposure pathway protective action guide levels at 10 miles.

i-4 Rev. 92-2 June, 1992

The NRC has concluded that it would be unlikely that any protective actions for the plume exposure pathway would be required beyond the plume exposure EPZ. Also, the plume exposure EPZ is of sufficient size for actions within this zone to provide for substantial reduction in early severe health effects (injuries or deaths) in the event of a worst case core melt accident.

Catawba Nuclear Site 4.1.C.4 Steam Generator (SG) Secondary Side Release With Primary To Secondary Leakage Secondary side releases to environment include those from the condenser air ejector, SG Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs), atmospheric dump valves, faulted steam lines, and main steam safety valves. Steam releases, in combination with primary to secondary leakage, constitute a bypass of the containment and, therefore, a loss of the containment barrier.

The appropriate classification can be determined in combination with the SG Tube Rupture EAL under the Reactor Coolant System (NCS) barrier.

There is no "Potential Loss" EAL associated with this item.

4.1.C.5 Significant Radioactive Inventory in Containment These values indicatesignificant fuel damage well in excess of the EALs associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of NCS Barriers. NUREG-1228, Source EstimationsDuring Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power PlantAccidents, indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is less than 20%. This amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment.

By treating the radioactive inventory in containment as a potential loss, a General Emergency will be declared when the conditions of the fuel clad and NCS barriers are included in the evaluation. This will allow the appropriate protective actions to be recommended.

There is no "Loss" EAL associated with this item.

NOTE: If EMF-53A and EMiF-53B are unavailable, readings can be calculated from procedure HP/0/B/1009/006, "Alternative Method for Determining Dose Rates within the Reactor Building."

4.1.C.6 Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director Judgment This EAL addresses any other factors that are to be used by the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director in determining whether the containment barrier is lost or potentially lost. In addition, the inability to monitor the barrier should also be incorporated in this EAL as a factor in Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director judgment that the barrier may be considered lost or potentially lost.

Catawba Nuclear Site ENCLOSURE 4.2 SYSTEM MALFUNCTION UNUSUAL EVENT 4.2.U.1 Inability to Reach Required Shutdown Within Technical Specification Limits.

OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: Mode 1 (Power Operation)

Mode 2 (Startup)

Mode 3 (Hot Standby)

Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown)

EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:

4.2.U.1-1 Plant is not brought to required operating mode within Technical Specifications LCO Action Statement Time.

BASIS:

Limiting Conditions of Operation (LCOs) require the plant to be brought to a required shutdown mode when the Technical Specification required configuration cannot be restored.

Depending on the circumstances, this may or may not be an emergency or precursor to a more severe condition. In any case, the initiation of plant shutdown required by the site Technical Specifications requires a four hour report under 10 CFR 50.72 (b) Non-emergency events. The l plant is within its safety envelope when being shut down within the allowable action statement time in the Technical Specifications. An immediate Notification of an Unusual Event is required when the plant is not brought to the required operating mode within the allowable action statement time in the Technical Specifications. Declaration of an Unusual Event is based on the time at which the LCO-specified action statement time period elapses under the site Technical Specifications and is not related to how long a condition may have existed. Other required Technical Specification shutdowns that involve precursors to more serious events are addressed by other System Malfunction, Hazards, or Fission Product Barrier Degradation ICs.

Catawba Nuclear Site ENCLOSURE 4A LOSS OF SHUTDOWN FUNCTIONS ALERT 4.4.A.1 Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded and Manual Trip Was Successful.

OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: Mode 1 (Power Operation)

Mode 2 (Startup)

Mode 3 (Hot Standby)

EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:

4A.A.1-1 The following conditions exist:

a. Valid reactof-trip signal received or required and automatic reactor trip was not successful.

AND

b. Manual reactor trip from the control room is successful and reactor power is less than 5% and decreasing.

BASIS:

This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to trip the reactor. This condition is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient and thus the plant safety has been compromised, and design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded. An Alert is indicated because conditions exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or NCS. Reactor protection system setpoint being exceeded (rather than limiting safety system setpoint being exceeded) is specified here because failure of the automatic protection system is the issue. A manual trip is any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) at the reactor control console which causes control rods to be RAPIDLY inserted into the core and brings the reactor subcritical.

Operator action to drive rods does NOT constitute a reactor trip, i.e. does not meet the rapid insertion criterion.

A failure of the protective signal to trip the turbine that initiates a reactor trip does not constitute an ATWS event if the reactor continues to operate.

Failure of manual trip would escalate the event to a Site Area Emergency.

Catawba Nuclear Site LOSS OF SHUTDOWN FUNCTIONS SITE AREA EMERGENCY 4.4.S.1 Failure of Reactor Protection System Instrumentation to Complete or Initiate an Automatic Reactor Trip Once a Reactor Protection System Setpoint Has Been Exceeded and Manual Trip WAS NOT Successful.

OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: Mode 1 (Power Operation)

EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:

4.4.S.1-1 The following conditions exist:

a. Valid reactor trip signal received or required and automatic reactor trip was not successful.

AND

b. Manual reactor trip from the control room was not successful in reducing reactor power to less than 5% and decreasing.

BASIS:

A failure of the protective signal to trip the turbine that initiates a reactor trip does not constitute an ATWS event if the reactor continues to operate.

Automatic and manual trip are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console is required to trip the reactor. This EAL is equivalent to the Subcriticality CSF-RED.

Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed. A Site Area Emergency is indicated because conditions exist that lead to imminent loss or potential loss of both fuel clad and NCS.

Although this IC may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation IC, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response. Escalation of this event to a General Emergency would be via Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director Judgment ICs.

Catawba Nuclear Site ENCLOSURE 4.6 FIREIEXPLOSION AND SECURITY EVENTS UNUSUAL EVENT 4.6.U.1 Fire Within Protected Area Boundary Not Extinguished Within 15 Minutes of Detection or Explosion Within the Protected Area Boundary.

OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: All EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL:

4.6.U.1-1 Fire in any of the following areas not extinguished within 15 minutes of control room notification or verification of a control room fire alarm.

Reactor Building

• Auxiliary Building

• Diesel Generator Rooms a Control Room RN Pumphouse Standby Shutdown Facility (SSF)

Central Alarm Station (CAS)

Secondary Alarm Station (SAS)

. Doghouses Refueling Water Storage Tank (FWST)

Turbine Building Service Building

• Monitor Tank Building 4.6.U.1-2 Report by plant personnel of an unanticipated explosion within protected area boundary resulting in visible damage to permanent structure or equipment.

BASIS:

EAL 1: The purpose of this EAL is to address the magnitude and extent of fires that may be potentially significant precursors to damage to safety systems. Fire is combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts, electrical breaker flashes or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. This excludes such items as fires within administration buildings outside the protected area. Waste-basket fires, and other small fires of no safety consequence should easily be extinguished within 15 minutes of detection. This IC applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant vital areas or other significant buildings or areas. Verification of the alarm in this context means those actions taken in the control room to determine that the control room alarm is not spurious.

D-47 Rev. 03-1 December, 2003

Catawba Nuclear Site BASIS:

With regard to explosions, only those explosions of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment required for safe operation within the identified plant area should be considered. As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment (including a steamline break or feedwater line break), that potentially imparts significant energy to near-by structures and materials. Fire is combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts, electrical breaker flashes or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires.

Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are I

observed. The inclusion of a "report of visible damage" should not be interpreted as mandating a lengthy damage assessment prior to classification.

The key to classifying fires/explosions as an Alert is the damage as a result of the incident. The fact that safety-related equipment required for safe shutdown of the unit has been affected or damaged as a result of the fire/explosion is the driving force for declaring the Alert. It is important to note that this EAL addresses a fire/explosion and not just the degradation of a safety system. The reference to damage of the systems is used to identify the magnitude of the fire/explosion and to discriminate against minor fireslexplosions.

Escalation to a higher emergency class, if appropriate, will be based on System Malfunction, Fission Product Barrier Degradation, Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent, or Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director Judgment ICs.

REFERENCE:

NUMARC/NESP-007, REV. 2,01192, HA2 D-51 Rev. 03-1 December, 2003

Catawba Nuclear Site BASIS:

EAL 1: Based on the UFSAR design basis. Seismic events of this magnitude (> OBE) can I cause damage to safety functions.

EAL 2: Based on the available instrumentation (90 mph maximum range) and the FSAR design basis. which is 95 mph. Wind loads of this magnitude (74 mph hurricane force winds) are approaching speeds that could cause damage to safety functions.

EAL 3: This EAL is intended to address the threat to safety related structures or equipment from uncontrollable and possibly catastrophic events. This list of areas includes areas containing safety-related equipment, their controls, and their power supplies. This EAL is, therefore, consistent with the definition of an ALERT in that if events have damaged areas containing safety-related equipment the potential exists for substantial'degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

I. ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT To assure the adequacy of methods, systems and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential off-site consequences of a radiological emergency condition.

I.1 Emergency Action Level Procedures Emergency Action Level procedures have been established in accordance with NUREG 0654, Appendix 1, and NUMARC/NESP-007 (Rev. 2) that was approved by the NRC in Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.101. See Bases Document in Section D.

Emergency Response Procedure, RP/0/A/5000/001, Classification of Emergency, will identify the system parameter and effluent parameter values which can be used to determine the emergency condition.

1.2 On-site Capability and Resources to Provide Initial Values and Continuing Assessment I.2.a. Post Accident Sampling Changes have been made to reflect the NRC approved License Amendment Request received from the NRC via letter dated 9/11/01. The NRC issued Amendments No. 193 (Facility Operating License NPF-35) and No. 185 (Facility Operating License NPF-52).

The amendments delete TS section 5.5.4, "Post Accident Sampling," for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units I and 2, and thereby eliminate the requirements to have and maintain the post-accident sampling systems (PASS - Palss/Pacs).

Chemistry Guideline 3.4.12 describes current post accident contingency plans for obtaining NC and ND/Containment Sump samples. It indicates that procedures OP/1(2)/A/6200/011 have been revised to take required samples during accident conditions utilizing the NM Automation Sample Panel. The samples are cooled by the normal NM sample HXs cooled by YN, thus eliminating the need for the PALS Sample Cooler.

The following procedures are in place to assess core damage and take containment atmosphere samples under accident condition. Emergency Planning Implementing Procedure RP/0/A/5000/015 is used to assess core damage using EMF 53 response.

HP/O/B/1001/018 was revised to allow for use of EMF 38, 39 and 40 containment atmosphere sampling capability under emergency conditions.

Also as a result of NRC License Amendments 193/185, OP/O/B/6200/021, "PALSS Operation for Accident Sampling," has been deleted from the Emergency Plan as an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure. Procedures OP/1(2)/A/6200/01 1 are not EPIPs or a part of the Emergency Plan. They are listed in this section for reference puroses only. Also, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures HP/1/B/1009/017, "Unit I Nuclear Post-Accident Containment Air Sampling System Operating Procedure," and HP/2/B/1009/017, "Unit 2 Nuclear Post-Accident Containment Air Sampling System Operating Procedure," have been deleted. HP/0/B/1001/018, RP Compliance Sampling," is not an EPIP or a part of the Emergency Plan. It is listed in this section for reference purposes only. (PIPs C-01-00384, C-01-04478)

Rev. 03-1 I-I December, 2003

I.2.b. Radiation and Effluent Monitors Radiological monitoring capabilities include process and effluent monitoring systems (UFSAR 11.5); area monitoring system (UFSAR 12.3.4); plus station portable monitoring instruments, laboratory counters and analyzers (UFSAR 12.5.2), including emergency high-range instruments with a range up to 1000 R/hr and air samplers.

In addition, there are two (2) high range containment monitors, one (1) high range unit vent monitor, and four (4) steam line monitors per unit.

I.2.c In-plant Iodine Instrumentation Silver Zeolite radioiodine or equivalent sampling cartridges are used for sampling air when the presence of noble gases is suspected. Radiation Protection personnel are knowledgeable in the appropriate station procedures required and are trained in the equipment required to determine airborne iodine concentrations in the plant under all conditions. Procedures to determine airborne iodine concentrations will cover analyses to be done if counting room capabilities are not available.

I.3.aI Method For Determining Release Source Term I.3.b Procedures HP/0/B11009/004, HP/O/B/ 1009/006, HP/O/B/1009/007, HP/0/B/1009/014, SHIO/B/2005/001 and HP/0/B/1009/026 are used on-shift, in the TSC and/or EOF for the calculation of potential off-site doses based on a Design Basis Accident, release of primary coolant, or release of GAP activity situation scaled to actual containment monitor readings.

Provisions for use of actual source terms exist in the procedures.

The magnitude of the release is based on actual effluent monitoring readings, plant system parameters (containment pressure), area meteorology and the duration of the release.

1.4 Effluent Monitor Readings Vs On-site/Off-site Exposure The procedures referenced in .3.aII.3.b establish the relationship between effluent monitor readings and on-site/off-site exposures and contamination for various meteorological conditions.

1.5 Meteorological Information Availability Meteorological information will be available to the Emergency Operations Facility, the Technical Support Center, the Control Room through use of the Station Operator Aid Computer (OAC) and by direct telephone communication. Meteorological information will be available to the NRC through the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS), the FTS Health Physics Network (HPN) phone or by direct telephone communications with the individual responsible for making off-site dose assessments either at the Technical Support Center or the Emergency Operations Facility.

Meteorological information will also be given to both the county Emergency Operations Centers, the State of South Carolina and the State of North Carolina during initial and follow-up information via the message format in Figure E-1.

Rev. 03-1 I-2 December, 2003

1.6 Release Rates/Projected Dose For Off-scale Instrumentation If instrumentation used for dose assessment are off-scale or inoperable, dose rates within the Reactor Building will be determined using procedure HPAO/B/10091006, Alternative Method for Determining Dose Rate within the Reactor Building.

1.7/ Field Monitoring Within E.P.Z.

1.8 Field monitoring within the Catawba Emergency Planning Zone will be performed in accordance with HP101B/1009/004 Environmental Monitoring for Emergency Conditions Within the 10-Mile Radius of CNS.

Four off-site field monitoring teams are comprised from station personnel and are under the direction of the Field Monitoring Coordinator. Procedure HP/IOB/1009/004 describes how to obtain the vehicles to be used, routes to be used, sampling and monitoring equipment to be used, locations of TLD's and directions for taking KI tablets.

In addition, one on-site (out of plant) survey team is available from the Operations Support Center.

An emergency radio system is available for the field monitoring teams to use to relay information to the Control RoomnTSC/EOF. The states will be able to monitor the results of the field monitoring teams.

1.9 Detect and Measure Radioiodine Concentration in the EPZ Appropriate instrumentation to measure radioactivity in counts per minute (cpm) and determine dose rate in mrem/hr shall be used for detection and measurement of radioiodine concentration. The air sample will be taken with a Portable Air Sampler equipped with a Silver Zeolite or equivalent cartridge and particulate filter. Air sampling results will be obtained through the use of a portable single channel Analyzer and appropriate gamma sensitive detector.

Interference from the presence of noble gas and background radiation shall not decrease the minimum detectable activity of IE-7 Ci/cc (microcuries per cubic centimeter) under field conditions.

These samples taken by the off-site monitoring teams will be evaluated further by one of the available laboratory facilities described in Section C.3. A multi-channel analyzer will be used to perform this evaluation.

I.10 Relationship Between Contamination Levels and Integrated Dose/Dose Rates Provisions for assessing contamination levels, water, and air to dose rates for key isotopes is found in procedure HPIOIBI1009/024.

I. I Plume Tracking The states of North Carolina and South Carolina have arrangements to locate and track an airborne plume of radioactive materials. Duke Power Company will have monitoring teams in the field, fixed TLD sites and the capability for obtaining airborne monitoring to assist in plume tracking.

Rev. 03-1 1-3 December, 2003

J.5 Personnel Accountability Within thirty minutes of a Site Assembly, all persons within the Protected Area of Catawba Nuclear Station can be accounted for and any person(s) determined to be missing, will be identified by name.

RPIO/AI5000/010 provides for the accounting of personnel (on site) continuously thereafter.

J.6 Protective Measures - Breathing Apparatus, Protective Clothing, KI Protective equipment and supplies will be distributed (as needed) to personnel remaining or arriving on site during the emergency to minimize the effects of radiological exposures or contamination.

Protective measures to be utilized are as follows:

• Protective measures will be utilized to minimize the ingestion and/or inhalation of radionuclides and to maintain internal exposure below the limits specified in IOCFR20, Appendix B.

• Engineering (ventilation) controls are utilized in the TSC and Control Room to control concentrations of radioactive material in air. Otherwise, when not practical to apply process or other engineering controls to limit intakes of radioactive material in air, one or more of the following protective measures will be utilized:

- Control of access

- Limitation of exposure times

- Use of individual respiratory protection equipment. Specific positions within the TSC and OSC are required to be respirator qualified. These positions are:

TSC Operation Superintendent, Operations Engineer, Assistant Operations Engineer, Engineering Manager, Systems Support Engineer and Reactor Engineer OSC All positions except the OSC Log/Status Keeper

• Self-contained breathing apparatus will be used in areas that are deficient in oxygen or when fighting fires. Respiratory protective equipment will be issued by Radiation Protection or Safety and Health Services. SCBA's are available with other fire fighting equipment for use by the station fire brigade.

• Individual Thyroid Protection - Protective measures will be utilized to minimize the ingestion and/or inhalation of radioactive iodine. However, if an unplanned incident involves the accidental or potential ingestion or inhalation of radioactive iodine, Potassium Iodide Tablets (KI) are available for distribution by SHIO/B/2005/003 (Distribution of Potassium Iodide Tablets in the Event of a Radioiodine Release).

• Use of Protective Clothing - Protective clothing will be issued when contamination levels exceed 1000 dpmIlO0 cm2 beta-gamma and 20 dpm/I00 cm 2 alpha of smearable contamination. Protective clothing items are located in the Change Rooms inside the Radiation Control Area, available for emergency use. Special fire-fighting protective clothing and equipment is available in designated station supply storage areas for use by fire brigade personnel.

J.7 from the Emergency Operations Facility Rev. 03-1 P-5 December, 2003

APPENDIX 3 DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Alert and Notification System for Catawba Nuclear Station consists of an acoustic alerting signal and notification of the public by commercial broadcast (EAS). The system is designed to meet the acceptance criteria of Section B of Appendix 3, NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.

An engineering study of the Catawba Nuclear Station alerting system was prepared by Duke Power Company and was submitted February, 1983. This is an annotated version of that study.

The Emergency plans of Duke Power Company, the States of North Carolina and South Carolina, and the counties of Mecklenburg, Gaston, and York include the organizations and individuals, by title, who will be responsible for decision-making as regards the alert and notification system. The county locations from which the sirens would be activated and, potentially, the request for an EAS message would come are manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day. Each organization's plan describes provisions for use of public communications media or other emergency instructions to members of the public. The plans of both states include a description of the information that would be communicated to the public under given circumstances.

A. Concept of Operations A system of 89 fixed sirens is installed and operational in the 10 mile EPZ area around Catawba Nuclear Station. A backup means of alerting and notification is described in the State and County Plans. This backup method includes area-wide emergency service vehicles traversing the area and giving both an alerting signal and notification message.

Each county will control the activation of the sirens within its boundaries.

B. Criteria for Acceptance The alert and notification system for the Catawba Nuclear Station provides an alerting signal and an informational or instructional message to the population (via the EAS) on an area-wide basis throughout the 10 mile EPZ within 15 minutes from the time the cognizant off-site agencies have determined the need for such alerting exists. The emergency plans of each state include evidence of EAS preparation for emergency situations and the means for activating the system.

Rev. 03-1 Q-3.I December, 2003

APPENDIX 3 C. Physical Implementation

1. The activation of this alert and notification system requires procedures and relationships between both Duke Power Company and the off-site agencies that support Duke and Catawba Nuclear Station.

When an incident is determined to have reached the level requiring public protective actions, Duke contacts the cognizant off-site agency via the selective signaling" phone system and provides its recommendations. This system is available for use 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day and links the Control Room, TSC, EOF, SERT headquarters, the county warning points/EOCs, and the county EOCs.

2. The alert and notification system has multipurpose use built into it. The sirens are capable of producing a three minute steady signal for the nuclear plant emergency or a three minute wailing signal for natural disasters or nuclear attack. Procedures exist at the counties to allow activation of either signal.

The expected performance of the sirens used in this system is described in Figure 3-1. These sirens complement existing alerting systems. The ambient background sound level in the Catawba area is taken to be 50 db for areas of "less than 2000 personstper square mile" and 60 db for areas above this density. On this basis, the siren coverages are designed to provide a signal 10db above the average daytime ambient background.

Furthermore, the sirens have been located to assure that the maximum sound levels received by any member of the public should be lower than 126 db.

The basis for our selection of the 60 db(c) and 70 db(c) criteria is documented as follows:

Location of heavy industry - There is limited "heavy industry" in the Catawba 10 mile EPZ as described in Chapter 2 of the Catawba Nuclear Station UFSAR.

Attenuation factors with distance - 10 db loss per distance doubled (See Figure 3-1)

Siren output db(c) at 100 ft. vs. assumed range and acoustic frequency spectra -

2001AC: 127 + 1.0db at 100 feet Assumed ranges per Figure 3-1, 10 db loss column Freguency Spectra:

2001AC: top frequency 705Hz Rev. 03-1 Q-3.2 December, 2003

APPENDIX 3 Map showing siren location - See Figure 3-2 I Mounting height of sirens - 50 feet (approximate)

Special weather condition considerations (such as expected heavy snow) - None The siren system will produce a 3 minute steady signal and is capable of repetition.

Dear Mr. Tuckman:

LETTER OF AGREEMENT - RADIATION EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE CENTER/TRAINING SITE (REAC/TS) SUPPORT Please reference an e-mail message of December 10, 2003, from Tina Kuhr, requesting that the Department of Energy (DOE) REAC/TS facilities and team continue to be available to provide back-up capability and assistance to the Duke Power Company in the event of a radiological emergency at Oconee, McGuire, or Catawba Nuclear Stations. This response constitutes our agreement to provide this service upon your request.

We wish to remind you that our REAC/TS facilities in the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) are government-controlled and operated by the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) under contract with DOE. Therefore, REAC/TS is prohibited from competing with commercial firms, which can provide radiological emergency services. Only if the magnitude or uniqueness of a radiological emergency exceeds your in-house and commercially available capabilities would REAC/TS be authorized to provide back-up services.

Since these facilities are government-controlled, no fee or retainer is required to assure the availability of back-up services by REAC/TS. However, if you utilize the services of REAC/TS, we should expect to recover those costs, which could reasonably be related to handling such an incident, including all charges billed to DOE or ORISE by hospitals and physicians. Information concerning the REAC/TS facilities, staff, services available, and procedures for seeking REAC/TS assistance can be obtained by direct contact with the REACITS Director, Dr. Robert C. Ricks, ORISE, Post Office Box 117, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37831, or phone at (865) 576-3131.

Duke AGREEMENT LETIER NO. 15 ErEnergyo CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION JOINT INFORMATION CENTER MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING Purpose This document was developed to establish an agreement regarding, and provide a reference to, the operating procedures governing the Joint Information Center (JI). It provides guidance on the activation, staffing, operation, and deactivation of the facility.

Basic operating procedures for the JIC follow. Detailed position descriptions and scope of responsibilities are provided in each agency's or entity's operating procedures.

While this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) provides guidance with respect to response to a radiological emergency at the Catawba Nuclear Station, the guidance is equally appropriate for any emergency condition requiring the coordination of information among the various parties.

The Joint Information Center In a radiological emergency, a number of affected agencies and entities must coordinate the response effort. Each party has separate responsibilities that, together, create a unified, coordinated and comprehensive emergency response.

The need to provide our public with accurate, timely and clear information is crucial in emergency conditions. The JIC receives and processes information for distribution to the media and the public. The Media Center is utilized to hold live press conferences. The media monitoring area is staffed with personnel to record and review media releases on radio and TV to determine reporting accuracy.

• Location The JIC supporting Catawba Nuclear Station is located in Duke Energy's Energy Center, 526 South Church Street, Charlotte, N.C. The IC is located on the first floor, room 0172. Other facilities, which complement the JIC, include the Media Center (Duke Energy's Energy Center,

0. J. Miller Auditorium, first floor) and a comprehensive media monitoring area located in Duke Energy's Power Building, 422 South Church Street, Charlotte, N.C. (seventh floor).

. Access A security checkpoint will be established at the JIC and the Media Center. A security checkpoint will also be established at.the station's Visitor Center, if needed. North Carolina and South Carolina state emergency response team badges, county emergency management IDs and Duke Energy/Duke Power Ds are required for prompt clearance to enter the IC and the Media Center.

Media representatives will be registered at the Media Center and given identification badges.

Revision 03-1 December, 2003

D' Duke AGREEMENT LETTER NO. 15 WEnergy.

. Facilities Duke Energy is responsible for maintaining the JIC in a state of readiness.

In the event of telephone problems, back-up radio communication through the state (N.C. and S.C.) radio and/or satellite radio/phone system will be provided.

Administrative support staff is available in the JIC to process documents for participating agencies who do not have administrative support.

Additional equipment and information charts are the responsibility of the participating agencies/entities. This may include state maps, fax machines, special computer equipment or cellular telephones. Duke Energy should be informed of any equipment that will be used in the JIC that requires special assistance for set-up or operation.

Staffin!

All parties supporting the response to a radiological emergency may have representation in the JIC. These groups include, but are not limited to:

• Duke Energy/Duke Power emergency response members

• State of North Carolina

• State of South Carolina

• Gaston County

• Mecklenburg County

• York County

• US Nuclear Regulatory Commission

• Federal Emergency Management Agency The JIC has accommodations for representatives from each agency/entity.

Scope of Responsibility and Comment Each participating agency/entity has unique responsibilities and accountability. Duke Power's scope of responsibility and public comment are limited to plant activity; state and county responsibility and comments are limited to the emergency response they undertake to protect the people and places within theirjurisdiction. Individuals representing one party should not comment on the emergency response activities undertaken by another participating agency or entity unless expressed permission has been given for such comment. Duke Power, for example, will not comment on public protective actions; state and county representatives will not comment on plant activities/operation.

Revision 03-1 2 December, 2003

M Duke AGREEMENT LETTER NO. 15 LlEnergy.

Initial Activation of the JIC In the event of an Unusual Event or higher emergency classification at the Catawba Nuclear Station, Duke Power shall notify affected county, state and federal officials. The JIC shall be activated at an Alert or higher classification. The JIC may also be activated in the event of heavy media attention or public interest.

Prior to activation of the JIC, public information regarding the emergency response will be released separately from Duke Power and emergency management agencies of the states and counties. Duke Power, the states and counties will share their news releases via email or facsimile transmission.

• Declaration of Activation At such time as the states, counties and utility concur that adequate equipment and staffing are in place, the Duke Power Public-Information Manager will declare the JIC activated. Lead public information officers (PIOs) will be responsible for notifying their respective emergency operation centers (EOCs) that the JIC has been activated.

Sources of Information in the JIC The primary information interfaces in the IC remain between the lead PIOs and their counterparts in the states, counties and Duke Power's Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). For example, the primary interface between the lead PIO for South Carolina is with his/her staff at the state EOC; Duke Power's lead for gathering information is the Regional Communications Coordinator who interfaces with Duke Power counterparts in the EOF, Visitor Center, and Customer Service Center, the county PlOs remain in contact with their counterparts at the county EOCs.

Only confirmed information received through the established information interfaces should be shared within the JIC or with the public. All parties will update the others on key activities or changes in the emergency response once information has been confirmed.

Courtesy "advance" notice will be given to the lead PlOs/Duke Power prior to major announcements regarding changes in the emergency response and copies of news releases will be shared with all lead PlOs/Duke Power prior to release. Once the courtesy notifications have been completed, an announcement of the changes should be made to others in the JIC via the public address system.

"Emergency Notification Form" transmittals, which are the official updates from the emergency facilities to the states and. counties, will be collected and maintained in the IC by the Administration and Logistics Manager. Unless requested, these transmittals will not be distributed to lead PIOs. This will minimize confusion with information coming from state and county EOCs.

Revision 03-1 3 December, 2003

WDuke AGREEMENT LETTER NO. 15

CrEnergy, Interfaces/Functions To facilitate communications within the JIC, the lead P1O for the state of North Carolina, the lead PIO for the state of South Carolina, the lead county PIOs, Duke Power Public Information Manager, the lead NRC PIO and the lead FEMA PIO will be located in close proximity to one another.

Duke Power and state and county staff shall share information with one another to provide public rumor control as needed. Duke Power will respond to plant technical issues and questions about public response will be directed to state and county PIOs.

Monitoring of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and major radio and television broadcasts will take place in the media monitoring area in the Power Building. Equipment is available in the JIC for review of live media briefings and/or recorded newscasts.

Duke Power will be responsible for maintaining a status log of updated information from all lead PlOs and for posting and recording all news releases. If additional status boards are needed, the agency/entity that needs the status board should obtain it. Duke Power's Administration and Logistics Manager will be responsible for ensuring distribution of all news information to Duke Power personnel. The state administrative staff will be responsible for distribution of news information to both state and county staff and PlOs.

Media Briefings Timing for media briefings will be coordinated by Duke Power and state lead PlOs. Once the timing has been determined, the Duke Power Public Spokesperson, the Duke Power News Manager, and the state and county lead PIOs will meet briefly in the conference room adjacent to the JIC to review the information to be released. This group will then proceed to the Media Center to conduct the briefing. The Duke Power News Manager will'serve as the briefing moderator. In the event that the plant status changes during a media briefing, the Duke Power News Manager will interrupt the briefing to announce that a change in plant status has occurred.

The media briefing will reconvene after Duke Power, state and county PIOs receive additional information.

Deactivation of the JIC Operation of the JIC will continue until the Duke Power Public Information Manager, and state and county lead PIOs determine there is no longer a need for coordinated release of information.

Upon concurrence, the Duke Power Public Information Manager will announce deactivation of the JIC. Lead PlOs will be responsible for notifying their EOCs that the JIC has been deactivated.

AGREEMENT LETTER NO. 16 August 26, 2003

Subject:

Memorandum of Understanding between CNS Emergency Planning, Work Control, Operations, Site Services, and Information Technology on the use of the OSC/OCC area for routine and emergency situations The Operations Support Center (OSC) is a required Emergency Response Facility (ERF) that is currently located on elevation 574 of the service building. This is a dedicated facility that must be in a state of readiness at all times.

The Outage Control Center (OCC) is an office-type area located next to the Site's Work Control Center (WCC) in the service building on elevation 609. The purpose of the OCC is to provide a common, central-location for key outage management personnel during the execution phase of the outage. It may also be used by the Unit Threat Team when activation of a team is required. These have been typically the only times the OCC area'is utilized.

At the request of Station Management, the OSC will be relocated to the OCC designated area of the WCC. This is an excellent facility for multiple-use by Work Control and Emergency Planning for the respective functions. This will provide real cost savings for the site in the elimination of redundant equipment, computers and other related resources.

The office space, adjacent rooms, and phone connections more than meet requirements for use as both an OCC and OSC. The location is ideal since it is located near the Work Control Center and in relative close proximity to the OPS kitchen and Control Room. This will allow ERO members to quickly assemble and immediately begin coordinating the OSC effort.

Emergency Planning, Work Control. and Operations agree that this area will be a multiple use facility for the following functions:

Operations Support Center (OSC) - An Emergency Response Facility that must be in a state of readiness at all times for compliance with the Station's Emergency Plan. It will also be utilized during scheduled ERO drills, exercises, and training which are scheduled during non-outage times.

Outage Control Center (OCC) - An Outage Support Facility utilized during outages to facilitate the execution of the outage. This area is typically utilized as the Outage Control Center during refueling and/or forced outages only.

Unit Threat Team - Utilized by designated individuals to respond to issues that may impact a Unit's operation.

Revision 03-1 December, 2003

AGREEMENT LETTER NO. 16 The following stipulations set forth in this agreement describe availability and resource requirements needed to assure compliance with specified Emergency Planning requirements and commitments, as well as the business needs of the site in regards to Outage management.

1. Emergency Planning, Work Control and Operations understand that a nuclear plant emergency always has first priority, and therefore this area will be utilized as the OSC in an emergency situation. If an actual Emergency is declared during an Outage that requires staffing of the OSC, necessary actions MUST be taken by the Outage Control Center staff to allow for the required staffing of this emergency response facility. All other uses of this area will yield to the emergency situation.

2. Emergency Planning will not schedule any ERO drills and/or exercises during scheduled Refueling Outages. In the event of an unscheduled or necessary outage change that will impact a scheduled ERO drill and/or exercise, Emergency Planning will make the necessary adjustments to the drill schedule to accommodate the emerging business need. This will also apply to forced outages.

3. The OSC is a required response facility and any Emergency Planning designated computers, equipment, and/or supplies are for emergency use and must be available at all times. Specific facility drawings, procedures, and phone directories are required to be maintained current for the OSC. Due to these maintenance requirements, all phones lines, computers, OSC position signs, tables, emergency supplies and related facility equipment will remain in place and not altered without first contacting Emergency Planning. Outage Control Center personnel will not use any 'Emergency Only" supplies/equipment which will be stored in a designated Emergency Only, supply cabinet.

4. Emergency Planning will have access to the OSC/OCC area to conduct required facility testing and maintenance. Due to periodic test requirements for the OSC, Emergency Planning will be required to access the area to perform the monthly and quarterly periodic tests. These are required tests that must be performed within a specified time frame. These are typically performed at the first week of the month/quarter. If a periodic test is required to be performed during an Outage, Emergency Planning will schedule the PT as to not impact negatively on the Outage Control Center operation but with the understanding that the PT must be completed within the required time frame. Emergency Planning will normally conduct up to 8 ERO drills/exercises each calendar year which include SAMG drills. None of these drills will be scheduled during designated Outage periods. The area may also be used to conduct facility specific and related ERO training each year.

5. It will be the responsibility of the party using the OSC/OCC to clean up and restore the facility to the condition it was in prior to use. Equipment, notebooks, etc. should be stored appropriately. The area will be restored to a state of readiness to comply with emergency readiness requirements.

Revision 03-i December, 2003

AGREEMENT LESTER NO. 16 The priority for use of the OCC/OSC is:

1. An actual nuclear plant emergency - The OSC has priority.

2. Any scheduled or unscheduled Outage - The OCC has priority

3. All nuclear drills/exercises - The OSC has priority J..
