GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY:
The Ginna Station Nuclear Emergency Response Plan (NERP) describes the total preparedness program established, implemented and coordinated by R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant LLC and the resources and capabilities available from Exelon, hereinafter referred to as "the Company", to ensure the capability and readiness for coping with and mitigating both onsite and offsite consequences of radiological emergencies at Ginna Station. The plan covers the spectrum of emergencies from minor localized incidents to major emergencies involving protective measures by offsite response organizations. Included are guidelines for immediate response, assessment of emergency situations, defined action criteria and delineation of support and recovery functions. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) and fleet procedures provide detailed information for individuals who may be involved with specific emergency response functions.
The NERP provides for a graded scale of response for distinct classifications of emergency conditions, actions within those classifications, and criteria for escalating to a more severe classification. This classification system is identical to that used by the State of New York and the local (Wayne and Monroe County) emergency response agencies. The plans have four categories of emergencies: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency. A fifth condition, Local Radiation Emergency, has been added. A Local Radiation Emergency is less severe than an Unusual Event and does not involve any offsite organization.
The NERP describes the activities and provisions other than engineered safety systems which are intended to limit exposures to the general public as well as to plant personnel. The NERP covers the following conditions:
- 1) Major release to the atmosphere.
- 2) Major release to the lake.
- 3) Abnormally high radiation or airborne radioactivity in a particular area of the plant.
- 4) Plant conditions that may lead to potential releases.
NOTE:
Offsite Transportation accidents are covered by Radiation Protection Procedures (RP Procedures) and do not require classification in this Plan.
The Company has the immediate and continuing responsibility for limiting the consequences of an incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. Limiting the consequences to public health and safety should take clear precedence over limiting financial loss or adverse publicity. During a radiological emergency, the Company should take whatever action is deemed necessary to limit the consequences to public health and safety, even ifthat action violates the Ginna Technical Specifications. Such actions would require prior approval, as a minimum, by a licensed Senior Reactor Operator and follow-up notification to the NRC in accordance with 10CFR50.54 (x) and (y).
6
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 The Company is responsible for keeping Federal, State and local authorities informed of the status of the emergency as it relates to protection of the public health and safety.
The Company will recommend to Federal, State and local authorities specific protective actions to limit the danger to the public, including evacuation.
The Company understands that it is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's policy that the emergency should be managed by the licensee. The NRC Headquarters Staff is limited in its ability to provide detailed recommendations to plant personnel or plant managers at the site. The Company understands that the NRC Operations Center will be the primary location where this agency will monitor and evaluate licensee actions. During that time, the normal response roles for the NRC Operations Center will be to monitor, inform, and, upon request, advise licensees and other Federal, State and local authorities. The authority for managing the NRC's emergency response efforts will be transferred to a senior onsite NRC representative when the NRC Headquarters Staff is confident the onsite representatives are prepared to receive that authority. Their role will continue to be monitoring, informing, and advising plant and local authorities.
1.1 Definitions
" Assembly Area - A designated building in which all non-essential personnel congregate following a site evacuation.
" Centers - Locations where communications, equipment and information are available and personnel will assemble to evaluate conditions during and after an event. See Section 6.1 for details.

" Director, Emergency Preparedness - The individual who has overall responsibility for maintaining the Ginna Station Nuclear Emergency Response Plan and implementing procedures. He/she will also coordinate these plans with New York State and county organizations having emergency responsibilities. He/she will act as liaison with private organizations in developing plans which augment the Company plans.
- Emer-gency Classification Levels - Four Emergency Classification Levels have been established by the NRC and incorporated into the NERP and State and county plans. Each Emergency Classification requires a different degree of response actions by the state, counties and the Company. The four emergency classification levels are:
Unusual Event - Events are in progress 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 offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
7
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 Alert - Events are in progress 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.
Site Area Emergency - Events are in progress 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 equipment needed for the protection of the public; 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 Protection Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
General Emergency - Events are in progress 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. Any releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 2.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN:
The primary objective of this plan is to protect the public and onsite personnel in the event of a radiation emergency. This plan describes in general the actions to be taken by Company personnel in coordination with Federal, State and local authorities.
Through an emergency organization which is described, the magnitude and impact of radioactive releases will be assessed and the need for the activation of a more extensive emergency response will be determined. The systems for notification of emergency personnel, Federal, State and local authorities, and the public are described along with the emergency facilities and equipment which are available for the trained emergency staff. The goal of the Ginna Station emergency organization is the safe shutdown and recovery of the Station and protection of the health and safety of the public and employees.
The general actions to be taken in the event of a radiation accident include the following:
- 1) Observation and determination of the classification of the occurrence.
- 2) Prevention or minimization of radiation hazards by the Emergency Director and the on-duty operators.
- 3) Evacuation of all non-essential personnel from the plant to the Ginna Training Center or other location, as appropriate.
- 4) Involvement of plant security personnel, supervisory personnel, Chemistry and Radiation Protection personnel, and other plant staff.
- 5) Notification of NRC Operations Center and State and local authorities, issuance of news releases, and emergency medical treatment.
- 6) Activation of Emergency Response Organization.
- 7) Recovery and restoration of the plant to normal operation.
The extent of response to an emergency situation is determined by the seriousness of potential consequences. With the potential for effects to the general public, the assistance of Federal, State and local agencies will be required. For situations which only affect onsite operations, the situation will be handled by the Company.
The awareness of an emergency situation will most likely originate in the Control Room. From an evaluation of plant parameters, the seriousness of the incident can be determined and the appropriate classification determined. The on-duty plant operators, under the direction of the Shift Manager, in consultation with the Shift Technical Advisor, will take action to mitigate the incident and to obtain the assistance of other plant and Company personnel.
Personnel onsite will be alerted by a warning signal if evacuation is deemed advisable and off-duty personnel will be called in through an established call procedure. Federal, State and county officials will be notified so that they may begin to set up their response organizations. If the level of the incident requires activation of the emergency organization, trained people will staff the Technical Support 11
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Joint Information Center. These centers will be activated, per procedure, by designated people who have been trained in the duties required to meet the incident. Sufficient individuals are trained so that the positions can be filled regardless of who is onsite or available for call-in.
Public officials will be kept informed of the situation as it progresses. For certain classes of events, the EOF will be activated for continuing management of the incident and to assist in restoring the plant to normal operation. A Joint Information Center will be activated to keep the public aware of the situation and news releases will be coordinated among the Company, New York State and other government agencies.
12
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 3.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS:
Emergencies are classified into four categories, which cover the entire spectrum from probable incidents to postulated major accidents. This system is coordinated with the NRC, New York State, Wayne County and Monroe County to ensure that the classification system is compatible with that used by all organizations. The system provides for notification of appropriate emergency response organizations and implementation of actions immediately applicable to a specific condition. Provisions are included for revising the classification level and the corresponding responses in the event of a change in severity of the emergency condition. This section identifies the events which comprise each of the four emergency classifications requiring formal offsite notification. This section also describes a condition known as a Local Radiation Emergency which does not require formal notification.
Criteria for characterizing, recognizing and declaring each emergency classification are given along with appropriate emergency classifications. Recognition and classification criteria are based, to the extent feasible, on readily available information such as Control Room instrumentation. Plant parameter values and the corresponding emergency classifications are given in appropriate implementing procedures. Immediate actions to be taken in response to plant conditions are detailed in plant operating and emergency procedures. Other emergency actions in response to radiation emergencies are identified in Section 5.0 and described in detail in applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIP) as listed in Appendix E.
The emergency classification system is illustrated by some examples provided in Table 3.1. A comprehensive listing of Ginna-specific initiating conditions for each emergency classification is provided in EPIP-1-0.
EPIP-1-0, Ginna Station Event Evaluation and Classification is based on NEI guidance provided in NEI 99-01, revision 5, and demonstrates how an initiating condition leads directly to the appropriate emergency classification, based on the magnitude of the event. In some cases, extensive assessment is necessary to determine the applicable emergency classification. In any case, continuing reassessment is required to ensure that the classification is upgraded or downgraded commensurate with the severity of the condition.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures can be found in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, Document Control, and on the internal Ginna website.
13
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I 3.1 Local Radiation Emergency:
NOTE:
The Local Radiation Emergency is not one of the four NRC Emergency Classifications and does not require any offsite notification.
Incidents may occur which require response only within the plant. A Local Radiation Emergency is defined as a radiation emergency condition whose consequences affect only personnel onsite. EPIP-1-13, Local Radiation Emergency, provides for the identification of local radiation emergencies and the actions necessary to ensure worker safety.
NOTE:
The following are the four NRC Emergency Classifications.
3.2 Unusual Event:
Events within this Emergency Classification generally characterize off-normal plant conditions which, by themselves, do not constitute significant emergency conditions.
Some of these events could, however, indicate a potential degradation in the level of plant safety and/or could escalate to a more severe condition if appropriate action is not taken.
The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating staff recognizes initiating conditions, takes appropriate action, and comes to a state of readiness to respond in the event that the condition becomes more significant. The Unusual Event classification or higher also requires that offsite authorities be promptly informed of the abnormal condition by use of the Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) and the New York State Radiological Emergency Data Form, Part I, found in procedure CNG-EP-1.01-1015. No response byoffsite authorities is necessary for non-hostile action events within this classification. The TSC or EOF will not usually be activated, although the TSC Manager, Operations Director, OSC Chemistry Lead and Engineering Director will normally report to the TSC to provide assistance.
Table 3.1 provides a sample page of EPIP-1-0, displaying the degree of severity which classifies an initiating condition as an "Unusual Event". When giving notice to State and county officials, the Company will make sure that they clearly understand the Unusual Event classification and that, if conditions change, there will be further notification.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900
3.3 Alert
This Emergency Classification is characterized by events which indicate an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of plant safety or a security threat that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. This classification requires response by the plant ERO and augmentation of onsite emergency resources. It constitutes the lowest level where emergency offsite response for non-hostile action events may be anticipated.
Table 3.1 provides a sample page of EPIP-1-0, displaying the degree of severity which classifies an initiating plant condition as "Alert". All Ginna emergency facilities will be staffed at an Alert or higher.
Prompt notification of an event within this classification will be made to the NRC, State of New York and Monroe and Wayne Counties. While the initial assessment would not require immediate response, potential releases of radioactivity make it advisable to alert offsite organizations. Periodic status updates will be made to keep authorities aware of the situation.
3.4 Site Area Emergency:
A Site Area Emergency is characterized by events involving actual or probable 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 equipment needed for the protection of the public; or (2) that prevent effectives access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Most events within this classification constitute actual or clear potential for significant releases of radioactive material to the environment. For a Site Area Emergency, all emergency response facilities are activated. Although emergency actions involving members of the public may not be necessary, offsite emergency response organizations should be mobilized and ready to implement protective measures. Protective actions taken onsite are: the evacuation, if deemed necessary, of all persons in areas other than the Control Room, Technical Support Center and OSC; initiation of onsite and offsite radiation monitoring; and close monitoring of plant status so that the licensee and other authorities can be advised of changing conditions, whether increasing or decreasing in severity. Meteorological and release data and survey results will be used to provide offsite dose estimates.
Table 3.1 provides a sample page of EPIP-1-0, displaying the degree of severity which classifies an initiating condition as a "Site Area Emergency". For the purpose of classifying an emergency, instrument indications in the Control Room will be used.
The instruments of interest and appropriate action points are part of the implementing procedures.
3.5 General Emergency:
A General Emergency is characterized by events which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or hostile actions that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Initial declaration that a General Emergency may exist is based on a situation which may have the potential for serious radiological consequences to the health and safety of the general public. A Site Area Emergency most likely would have been declared earlier and, if events are in progress which may involve core degradation with 15
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 potential for loss of containment integrity, a General Emergency should be declared.
For a General Emergency, all emergency response facilities are activated. Table 3.1 provides a sample page of EPIP-1-0, displaying the degree of severity which classifies an initiating condition as a "General Emergency."
The Emergency Director will promptly notify State and local authorities and the NRC of the plant status and reasons for declaring a General Emergency. The Emergency Director will also make recommendations for offsite emergency measures to be taken. The responsibility for this recommendation to offsite authorities may not be delegated.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 4.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF RADIATION EMERGENCY:
This section describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO), its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations. Figures 4.2 through 4.8 show the interfaces between and among the ERO functional areas.
4.1 On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments The initial phases of an emergency situation at a nuclear station will most likely involve a relatively small number of individuals. These individuals must be capable of (1) determining that an emergency exists; (2) providing initial classification and assessment; and (3) promptly notifying other groups and individuals in the emergency organization.
The subsequent phases of the emergency situation may require an increasing augmentation of the emergency organization.
All Exelon Nuclear stations have the capability at all times to perform detection, mitigation, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency.
The emergency plan responsibilities for shift personnel are:
- a. Shift Manager (while Emergency Director):

The Emergency Director will immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
The Shift Manager is available at all times to assume the responsibilities of Emergency Director. A qualified individual is on-call to respond to the EOF and relieve the Shift Manager of Emergency Director duties.
4.3 Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)
The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager. Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate when an event has been declared.
The Emergency Director responsibilities are initially assumed by the Shift Manager. If the event is classified at an Alert or Higher level, or the Shift Manager deems it appropriate, the Shift ERO will be augmented by the on-call ERO.
The on-call Emergency Director will report to the EOF and assume the Emergency Director's responsibilities.
The Shift Manager is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:
" Adequate EOF staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
- The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
- A formal turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made.
4.4 Non-Delegable Responsibilities Functional responsibilities of the Emergency Director that may not be delegated include:
- Classify and declare emergencies.
- Direct and approve offsite emergency notifications to state and local authorities.
- Make Protective Action Recommendations to offsite authorities.

Other offsite assistance, such as Department of Energy - Radiological Assistance Plan (DOE-RAP) team or Westinghouse, is alerted by a call from the Emergency Director or designee to their duty officer at the phone numbers listed in procedures.
4.8.1 State of New York, Wayne and Monroe Counties Emergency Actions:
The Company is responsible for promptly notifying State and county authorities when conditions affect, or may affect, safe plant operations.
It is the responsibility of these offsite agencies to provide prompt notification to their parent and support organizations if it is determined that conditions or circumstances, either onsite or offsite, have affected or may affect normal and safe plant operations or conditions in the environs.
Wayne and Monroe County's decision processes are based on EPA Protective Action Guidelines (PAG), current road and weather conditions, time requirements for implementing PAGs and accident diagnosis and prognosis received from the licensee, New York State, USNRC and DOE.
The NRC has established, and the State of New York has accepted, four Emergency Classification Levels for which the Company shall provide early and prompt notification to both State and County authorities. These Classification Levels are consistent with those described in Sections 3.2 through 3.5 in this plan.
The "Unusual Event" and "Alert" classifications provide early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized. A gradation is provided to assure more complete offsite response preparations for more serious indicators. At the Alert or higher classification, full mobilization of offsite emergency personnel is required.
The "Site Area Emergency" classification reflects conditions indicating significant releases are likely or are occurring but where a core-melt situation is not indicated.
The "General Emergency" classification involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment.
The "General Emergency" classification requires immediate consideration of Protective Action Recommendations by the Company and communication of these recommendations to Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State.
Although Protective Action considerations are mutually discussed by each county, the Chairman of the N.Y.S. Disaster Preparedness Commission and both County Executives may decide to take actions of different magnitude. Protective Actions are based on current and forecasted weather conditions, road construction and other possible impediments to evacuation.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 4.8.2 Local Disaster Coordinator (Wayne County Emergency Management Office and Monroe County Office of Emergency Management):
In general, the responsibilities of the Local Emergency Preparedness Coordinator in each county include the following:
a) On receipt of notification from the State of New York, or Ginna Station Control Room, alert local authorities and officials in accordance with established plans.
b) Coordinate response of local authorities and provide for available local assistance to the Company and State authorities in accordance with established plans.
The participation of the counties, upon notification of an event involving the general public, is outlined in their Radiological Emergency Plans, which are reviewed in Appendix B.
The Office of Emergency Management in each county consists of small administrative staffs and a pool of reserve personnel located throughout the county. Members receive training in monitoring, establishing relocation centers and providing medical attention, food, and lodging for evacuees. Extensive communication resources are available for use by the Local Disaster Coordinators and staff, including a number of radios for contacting the county fire coordinator, the police forces, public works and commercial radio stations. A roster of telephone numbers and contacts is maintained to communicate with agencies on State and local levels. Monitoring teams are available and radiological kits are maintained in shelters and firehouses located throughout the counties.
4.8.3 United States Coast Guard (USCG):
The USCG provides emergency support upon request by Wayne and Monroe Counties, in accordance with the Wayne County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and Monroe County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan.
4.8.4 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region 1, Incident Response
(
Reference:
NUREG-0728, NRC Incident Response Plan):
This NRC Plan describes the notification, communication decision-making and mobilization of the NRC Incident Response Organization in the event of an event/incident related to Ginna Station.
The extent of mobilization will depend upon the emergency classification and associated plant conditions.
The Company will supply whatever support services and resources are needed to maintain Federal assistance.
36
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 4.8.5 United States Department of Enerqy Radioloqical Assistance Program, Region I.
Brookhaven Area Office, Upton, New York (DOE RAP/IRAP):
Since Ginna Station is located in DOE Region I, the Brookhaven Office of the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) has the responsibility to provide radiological assistance in the event of an emergency. Their principal goal is to be prepared in the event of a major accidental release, or other loss of control of radioactive material. Radiological assistance can be requested at any time by calling and indicating the nature of the incident, the location, and how to contact utility and local authorities in order to coordinate the Department of Energy response.
The assistance includes advice and emergency actions essential for the control of the immediate hazards to health and safety. This preparedness includes plans and procedures for: effective and economic use of resources; minimization of radiation exposure of individuals and the public; prevention of the spread of radioactive materials into the environment; and appropriate countermeasures to control and remove radiological hazards. Large numbers of qualified radiation, nuclear and medical specialists are the principal resource that can be made available in an emergency, along with quantities of radiation monitoring equipment and specialized detector and test equipment.
Most assistance requests can be handled by giving advice, by sending radiological safety experts to the incident scene, or by transferring the request to another Federal agency or a State agency. The Department of Energy, Brookhaven Office, has agreed to provide such assistance upon notification of a hazard to the general public. Available resources are noted in the county plans. Assistance could be onsite within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of a request. The Company will supply whatever support services and resources are needed to maintain Federal assistance. RAP/IRAP teams initially report to the EOF for briefing and coordination.
It should be understood that this Federal advice, assistance and equipment is provided to the local government institutions to assist in carrying out their responsibilities and authority for protecting the health and safety of the local population and in no way supersedes that local responsibility. Furthermore, this assistance may be terminated as soon as the immediate hazards are brought under control and there is reasonable assurance that public health and safety are being protected.
4.9 Industry/Private Support Organizations Exelon retains contractors to provide supporting services to the company's nuclear generating stations. For station specific support, copies of current contracts and letters of agreement with these groups are maintained by the Emergency Planning Department.
Current contracts and letters of agreement are maintained in each Emergency Planning Department's files.
37
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 Common (all stations) services currently provided are the following:
- a. Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO): One of the roles of the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) is to assist affected utilities by quickly applying the resources of the nuclear industry to meet the needs of an emergency. INPO has an emergency response plan that enables it to provide the following emergency support functions:
- Assistance to the affected utility in locating sources of emergency personnel, equipment and Operations analysis.
" INPO, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) maintain a coordination agreement on emergency information with their member utilities.
- INPO provides the "Nuclear Network", or its replacement, electronic communications system to its members, participants, NEI, and EPRI to coordinate the flow of media and technical information about the emergency.
" Stations may obtain utility industry information and assistance from any party to this agreement through the coordination of INPO.
To support these functions, INPO maintains the following emergency support capabilities:
- A dedicated emergency call number.
" Designated INPO representative(s) who can be quickly dispatched to the utility emergency response organization to coordinate INPO support activities and information flow.
" The 24-hour per day operation of an Emergency Response Center at INPO headquarters.
Stations will notify INPO (via the designated emergency call number) for all situations involving an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency declaration.
"Accident Notification Procedures for Liability Insurers" which provides revised criteria for the notification of the Pools in the event of a nuclear emergency at one of the liability insured nuclear power reactor sites. This revision brings the ANI/MAELU (Mutual Atomic Energy Liability Underwriters) notification criteria into alignment with the standard emergency classification system adopted by the nuclear industry. This document also identifies a suitable channel for follow-up communication by ANI after initial notification.
- ANI/MAELU Emergency Assistance: In the event of an extraordinary nuclear occurrence (as defined in the Price-Anderson Law) ANI and MAELU (the insurance pools) have plans prepared to provide prompt emergency funding to affected members of the public.
- ANI/MAELU Emergency Assistance (Claims Handling Procedures): The pools' emergency assistance arrangements contemplate the mobilization and dispatch of emergency claims teams to directly dispense emergency assistance funds to affected members of the public.
38
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I 4.9 (continued)
The pools should be notified in the event of a nuclear emergency requiring notification of State or Federal governmental agencies, or if the insured believes that offsite persons may be affected and financial assistance of a nature discussed may be required. In these instances, ANI expects notification as soon as possible after the initiation of the emergency.
Even if it appears to be remote that offsite persons will be affected, the pools should be notified in order that response plans can be initiated to the point of alerting teams of adjusters to stand by. Response activity can be discontinued if it proves less severe and does not require pool response.
- Emergency Notification and Follow-up Procedures: Pre-established lines of communication exist between each utility and ANI in order to exchange all required information during a developing emergency situation.
ANI maintains 24-hour coverage of an emergency notification number. During normal office hours (8:00 am - 4:00 pm) their number will be answered by the receptionist who will transfer an incoming emergency call to an appropriate individual in the office. Outside of normal office hours, this telephone line is covered by an answering service. The answering service will intercept the call and obtain the name, affiliation and telephone number of the caller. They will then notify a designated ANI staff member who will in turn call back the utility to obtain appropriate information regarding the nuclear accident.
4.10 Supplemental Emergency Assistance to the ERO Agreements are maintained (for each nuclear station) with outside support agencies who do not take part in the organizational control of the emergency that provide assistance when called on during an emergency or during the recovery phase. These agreements identify the emergency measures to be provided, the mutually accepted criteria for implementation, and the arrangements for exchange of information. These support agencies provide services of:
- a. Law enforcement;
- b. Fire protection;
- c. Ambulance services;
- d. Medical and hospital support Support groups providing transportation and treatment of injured station personnel are described in Section 6.5 of this plan.
Current contracts and letters of agreement with these groups are referenced in Appendix A of this plan.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I 5.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES:
The following sections provide the guidelines for implementing procedures of the four emergency classifications and the Local Radiation Emergency condition which are described in Section 3.0.
5.1 Local Radiation Emergency:
A Local Radiation Emergency condition is established to provide a level of response to a radiological incident which is less serious than the four NRC Emergency Classifications. It has no effect offsite and has no potential for any offsite effects.
There is normally no notification or action required by offsite agencies.
a) EPIP-1-13, Local Radiation Emergency, contains the details of the response.
In general, any individual aware of an incident shall notify the Control Room of this fact.
b) The Control Room shall announce over the plant public address (PA) system that a local evacuation of the area is required.
c) All personnel in the affected area shall leave the area as directed.
5.1.1 Subsequent Action:
The situation will be evaluated and actions taken to terminate the emergency. The plant shall determine the course of action to be taken to clean up the affected area, correct the cause of the incident, and return the area to normal operation. State and county authorities may be notified of the incident for informational purposes but no actions are required offsite.
NOTE:
SECTIONS 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 AND 5.5 ARE NRC EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS THAT REQUIRE STATE, COUNTY, AND NRC NOTIFICATION.
5.2 Unusual Event:
The purpose of the Unusual Event Classification is to provide early warning of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences. The Unusual Event conditions indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Declaring an Unusual Event assures that the first step for any response later found to be necessary has been carried out by bringing onsite staff and offsite organizations to a state of readiness, thereby providing a system for handling information and decision-making.
The NRC, State and county authorities will be promptly notified to assure that the first step of any necessary response can be initiated. The Plant General Manager will be notified of the Unusual Event Emergency to bring the plant staff to a state of readiness and provide for responsible decision-making. On-shift resources can be augmented so as to be able to assess and respond as needed. Offsite organizations will stand by for further information or closeout.
55
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I
5.3 Alert
Events of the Alert classification involve actual or potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security threat that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. Any radioactivity released during an Alert would result in exposures well below the guidelines for required offsite action. By assuring that emergency personnel are available to respond if the situation should become worse, protective actions could be taken much quicker, such as performing confirmatory radiation monitoring and providing offsite authorities with current status information.
For events which fall in the Alert classification, Ginna Station will promptly notify the NRC, State and county authorities of the Alert status and the reasons for the classification. All Ginna emergency facilities will be staffed so as to assist in the assessment of the incident and determination of a proper response. Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the classification of the incident.
Unless they are already in the plant, persons so notified will report to the plant, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) or, if directed by Security, to the Training Center, where jobs are assigned in line with the trained capabilities of the individual.
Procedures provide for staffing of all Ginna emergency facilities. The organization is normally activated via an automated system activated from the Control Room.
The Joint Information Center will be staffed by Company, county and State personnel in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency.
Offsite agencies will activate primary response centers to standby status and will alert other key emergency personnel, such as monitoring teams and communications centers, the Emergency Alert System, or law enforcement. They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classification, if appropriate.
56
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 Figure 5.1 Ginna Notification Process 57
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 5.4 Site Area Emergency:
A Site Area Emergency is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the 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 equipment needed for the protection of the public; or (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
In the event that a Site Area Emergency is declared, the actions to be taken by various plant groups are detailed in the implementing procedures for the plant. The Control Room will make the initial notification to the NRC, State and county authorities.
The purpose of the declaration of a Site Area Emergency is to assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at their duty stations if such an evacuation is called for. Also, offsite agency authorities will be available at primary response centers for consultation and updates on the situation, and to provide information to the public.
5.5 General Emergency:
The General Emergency will be declared when the conditions described in Section 3.5 exist. Actions associated with the General Emergency declaration are to: (1) initiate protective actions for the public as predetermined or as indicated by actual releases; (2) provide continuous assessment of information from Ginna Station and offsite measurements; (3) provide consultation with offsite authorities; and (4) keep the public informed through updates of the situation through the Joint Information Center.
5.5.1 Company Actions:
A General Emergency requires that all actions prescribed for the Site Area Emergency (see Section 5.4) be implemented. The NRC, State of New York, and county authorities, who will already have been contacted for lower classifications, will now be updated.
The Emergency Director or designee may request the assistance of offsite groups, which could include REAC/TS, Company medical department, and Department of Energy, Brookhaven Radiological Assistance Program. Technical personnel from other Company departments and/or consultants will be called as needed.
The Rad Assessment Coordinator has the responsibility to determine the magnitude and extent of the incident by evaluating information from the Control Room and the Offsite Monitoring Teams. This information will consist of instrumentation readings and any survey results available. EOF staff shall update the State and local authorities with new survey data and other information and recommend protective actions. Protective action recommendations, if dose projection information is available, will be based on the Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Action for Nuclear Incidents, EPA 400-R-92-001, October 1991, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A summary of recommended actions is presented in Table 5.1.
58
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 5.5.1 (continued)
Figure 5.3 provides the scheme for Predetermined Protective Action Recommendations based upon reaching a General Emergency and present wind conditions, and reflects an initial 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind evacuation or sheltering recommendation. This methodology is contained in CNG-EP-1.01-1013, Emergency Classification and PAR, which also provides guidance for upgrading an initial PAR based on pertinent factors.
In making the recommendation for sheltering or evacuation, the Rad Assessment Coordinator should evaluate the weather forecast in relation to changing winds and precipitation. The offsite authorities should evaluate the calculated evacuation times (CNG-EP-1.01-1024) in relation to predicted start, length and termination of a release.
Emergency staff at Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State shall determine, by evaluating the information given by the Emergency Director, if area evacuation or sheltering is necessary, to what extent, and how to undertake protective action including evacuation. A projection of population distribution in the 10 mile plume exposure zone is included in Appendix F. A summary of evacuation time estimates for various conditions is provided in Appendix G.
All surveys will be retained by the Rad Assessment Coordinator and sample analysis results will be retained by the Chemistry Lead for appropriate documentation.
Formal reports shall be written and distributed as required by 10CFR20 and the Ginna Technical Specifications. Information concerning the offsite consequences of the incident and protective actions to protect the public will be coordinated in accordance with the New York State Radiological Emergency Plan and County Emergency Plans. A Company spokesperson in the JIC will release the information concerning the plant, plant safeguards and its employees, and assistance being provided to State and local authorities.
Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) entry conditions are defined in the Station Emergency Operating Procedures.
5.5.2 Offsite Authorities Actions:

The Emergency Medical Plan will be instituted, if necessary. The Shift Manager shall be provided with any survey data necessary to meet his/her responsibilities.
The Emergency Director will determine if additional personnel should be called to the plant to cope with emergency conditions.
Personnel and cars shall be monitored and surveyed to assess the extent of contamination before leaving the site unless personnel safety or emergency actions require immediate response. All non-essential personnel should be allowed to leave the site.
5.9 Onsite Protective Actions:
During a radiological emergency, protective actions will be employed as follows:
5,9.1 Radiation Protection Durinq an Emergency:
During a radiological emergency, precautions and limitations to minimize doses shall be observed by personnel entering an incident area. In general, doses will be limited to station administrative control levels for occupational radiation exposure in accordance with station procedures. Every effort shall be made to keep exposure As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) while accomplishing the necessary tasks.
Radiation exposures in an emergency shall be evaluated on an ALARA basis.
Offsite Monitoring Teams are limited to 1 Rem TEDE dose during the incident unless special permission is given by the Emergency Director or the Rad Assessment Coordinator.
For lifesaving actions such as the removal of an injured person and providing first aid, ambulance service, medical treatment or other actions required to reduce severe health effects to the public, volunteers may receive greater than 25 Rem TEDE whole body exposure. The limit set for performing assessment actions or undertaking corrective actions to prevent substantial radiological releases is 25 Rem TEDE. Authorization to receive doses greater than station administrative limits can be given only by the Emergency Director.
Offsite Monitoring Teams will consist of at least two persons. All entries into high radiation areas must be carefully planned from available survey data, review of personnel current exposure records, and pre-planning of the activities to be accomplished. Whenever planning to enter an incident area, use the applicable EPIP procedures to adequately protect the responders by determining the appropriate survey instruments, protective clothing, dosimetry, respiratory protection or other resources needed. Close communications between team members shall be maintained as much as possible.
The radiation protection program during an emergency will be based on the program defined in the RP series of procedures. Dosimeters are available in the onsite and offsite emergency facilities for the Offsite Monitoring Teams. Provisions for round-the-clock capability to issue dosimeters and maintain dose records will be established to meet long-term needs of the plant procedures. The capability to read dosimeters will be used to maintain control of individual doses.
63
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 5.9.2 Site Evacuation:
CNG-EP-1.01-1009, Assembly, Accountability and Evacuation, provides specific instructions for evacuation of the Protected Area.
The evacuation alarm (special tone) will be activated from the Control Room per direction from the Shift Manager.
Upon becoming aware of the evacuation alarm, all personnel, except those whose duties during an emergency specify otherwise, shall immediately leave their area of work by the nearest exit. All building exits to the outdoors may be used. Normal egress of the radiologically controlled area should be used if possible. If not possible, workers should use the nearest exit and remove their protective clothing, if worn, as directed by procedures, if worn. Personnel will walk to the Assembly Area and stand by for further instructions. All dosimeters will be retained by the individual.
The "Assembly Area" refers to the Training Center or alternate locations defined in emergency procedures depending on plume direction and habitability considerations.
The escort accompanying any visitors is responsible to see that visitors are taken to the Assembly Area. Other personnel who may be onsite outside the Protected Area would hear the site evacuation signal.
After evacuation of the plant areas, an accounting will be made of all personnel who were onsite. Accountability of personnel is carried out by plant security using the "onsite" computer list to determine that all persons are accounted for. The Security Shift Supervisor or TSC Security Director initiates a process to verify accountability for all individuals inside the protected area. Drills have indicated that this process can be completed within 30 minutes. This process is verified to be complete by the Emergency Director using their checklist.
Cars will be monitored and surveyed as necessary before they are allowed to leave the site. Personnel leaving the site will take a route selected by the Emergency Director, after consultation with the Wayne County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), giving consideration to the wind direction or road impediments. (see Figure 5.2) Before leaving, persons will be monitored for contamination.
Normally, private cars will be used for leaving the site. If cars are contaminated, buses will be brought in for the evacuation. The Emergency Director will consult with the Wayne County Emergency Director concerning numbers of evacuating personnel and vehicles, and which evacuation routes will be used.
5.9.3 Emerqency Medical Treatment:
All emergency medical treatment will be carried out using an emergency medical treatment plan. This plan specifies the types of medical action to be taken in any type of radiation or contamination emergency. First aid team members maintain their proficiency through Red Cross First Aid Training or equivalent as a minimum.
64
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 5.9.3 (continued)
CNG-EP-1.01-1014, Emergency Exposures and KI, provides guidelines for the administration and use of potassium iodide (KI) for onsite personnel and Offsite Monitoring Teams. The determination of need for KI is the responsibility of the Radiation Protection Director or Radiological Assessment Coordinator. Approval of the Emergency Director is required.
Radio-protective drugs will be issued for the general public only if approved by the New York State Department of Health.
5.9.4 Search and Rescue:
Following site evacuation, all personnel will be accounted for using security records, sign-in sheets, log sheets, etc. The Emergency Director and TSC Manager will determine the necessity for a search and rescue operation. Such an operation will be coordinated by the Shift Manager and the TSC Director.
The search and rescue team will consist of at least two persons including a Radiation Protection technician.
The search should start at the last known location or work assignment of the unaccounted-for individual. Radiation surveys should be made as the team progresses. It may be necessary to administer first aid to the individual after he or she is located. The Emergency Director, TSC Director or Control Room shall be advised of the situation.
65

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900
5.9.5 Decontamination
A Radiation Protection procedure provides guidance for graduated measures to be used for decontamination. The objective of decontamination is to prevent the spread of radioactive material on the individual, to the environment or to other personnel and to reduce the resultant dose. Decontamination is essentially the removal of radioactive material and is performed starting with the highest level of contamination using the simplest procedures. Continued decontamination may show diminishing effectiveness and require a decision to stop or use more potent agents.
Decontamination kits, which contain items to decontaminate the skin and for wound cleansing, are available. Decontamination should continue until it is no longer effective but not so as to abrade skin. This procedure should be effective against iodine and other contaminants.
If personnel cannot be decontaminated to the limits of Procedure RP-SUR-PERS-DECON, Personnel Contamination, Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) may be contacted.
Instruments are available to determine contamination levels of personnel or equipment and the effectiveness of decontamination. Waste drums are available as containers for radioactive waste and emergency clothing is available, if needed.
5.9.6 Offsite Authorities Actions:
Offsite authorities will provide assistance as needed to protect the public. In the event a Site Area Emergency is declared, this may include activating the public notification system and providing information and periodic updates of the situation through the EAS (Emergency Alert System) and/or press briefings. Resources at primary response centers will be augmented by calling other emergency services to standby status and dispatching certain emergency personnel to initiate their functions (i.e., monitoring and communications). Information from the licensee, monitoring teams and weather stations will be continually evaluated with regard to changes in protective actions already initiated for the public, such as sheltering of people or milk animals. Monitoring results and any actions taken should be reported to the licensee and others having a need to know.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6X0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES:
Emergency facilities comprise a number of categories including emergency response facilities, communications systems, assessment facilities, protective facilities and first aid and medical facilities. Each is briefly described as follows:
6.1 Emergency Response Facilities:
Locations have been designated to be used for evaluation and control of an emergency situation: the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, and the Joint Information Center.
Figure 6.1 shows the relationship of these Centers during an emergency.
6.1.1 Control Room:
The Ginna Station Control Room is designed for continuous occupancy following the most limiting accident; therefore, control of plant systems will take place from this center, and on-shift crew activities relating to mitigating the consequences of the accident will be initiated and coordinated by the on-duty Shift Manager in the Control Room. Equipment for radiation monitoring, protective clothing and respiratory equipment are kept in an emergency cabinet.
76
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I FIGURE 6.1 GINNA STATION EMERGENCY CENTERS INTERFACES 77
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.1.2 Technical Support Center (TSC):
An area at the east end of Ginna Station Turbine Building has been constructed for use as the TSC. It is equipped for direct communication with the Control Room, Operations Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility. The TSC also has direct phone lines to the NRC, New York State, Monroe and Wayne Counties, as well as radios and normal phones. A terminal to the plant process computer data link is installed in the Center for obtaining plant Operations data. Piping and equipment drawings are also available. A radiation monitor is mounted in the Technical Support Center. The Center has filtered air supply and is shielded to meet the same habitability requirements as the Control Room. A continuous air monitor is installed to indicate the activity of airborne iodine, noble gas and particulate. This Center meets the criteria of NUREG-0696 and is within 2 minutes walking time of the Control Room. Protective clothing and breathing apparatus are available, if needed.
6.1.3 Operations Support Center (OSC):
An area within the Ginna Administration Building has been designated as the OSC.
The facility is co-located with the Outage Control Center (OCC). Personnel who are capable of providing support to the Operations needs of the plant will be assigned to this area in case of an emergency. Telephones and the plant GAI-Tronics page are available.
Personnel designated by the implementing procedures who are onsite will report directly to the OSC. OSC personnel responding from offsite will report to the OSC unless directed to the Training Center or EOF.
The OSC is staffed by the Maintenance personnel, Integrated Work Management and other requested organizations. The planners will prepare work packages for the craft personnel.
The overall management of the OSC is provided by the OSC Manager. The TSC Maintenance Director is located near, and works directly with, the TSC Operations Director to determine equipment needs vital to safe plant operation. The TSC Maintenance Director receives input on equipment problems and priority of Operations concern from the Control Room via the TSC Operations Director. The TSC Operations Director and TSC Maintenance Director receive information via wireless headsets or telephones from the Control Room staff. The TSC Maintenance Director provides direct input to the OSC via the OSC Manager.
The OSC is not a "hardened" facility and, therefore, does not have any protection from airborne radioactivity. The procedure for activation of the OSC has provisions that, if the ambient radiation levels or airborne radioactivity levels become too high, the OSC will be relocated to the TSC.
The OSC is directed by the OSC Manager. The TSC Maintenance Director is on a wireless headset link or bridge line with the TSC Operations Director and the Control Room. The TSC Maintenance Director is located in the TSC near the Operations Director. This allows the maintenance organization to get input on maintenance priorities from the TSC staff. The TSC Maintenance Director has a dedicated telephone in the TSC. Each OSC position has a dedicated telephone extension.
78
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.1.3 (continued)

Radiation monitoring equipment for surveys of the OSC or for use out on a job is available in the TSC or in the Radiation Protection office. Emergency equipment necessary to repair, control or mitigate the consequences of an accident is available in shops and in the stockroom within the plant.
6.1.4 Emer-gency Operations Facility (EOF):
The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) for the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant is located at 1255 Research Forest, Macedon, NY, approximately 12 miles from the plant. The EOF shares the structure with the Joint Information Center (JIC). The building is a single story structure of 19,000 square feet situated on a 7.23 acre land parcel with parking space for 200+ vehicles.
Approximately 7,500 square feet is designated and kept in readiness to operate as an EOF. An additional 4,000 square feet is utilized for training space but can be activated for use during a nuclear event. It will accommodate the numbers of people anticipated and provides facilities for these people. During an emergency, the entire building will be secured for exclusive use by emergency personnel. Space is allocated for Exelon personnel, NRC, Federal, State, and Local Government officials.
In addition, sufficient space for Ginna emergency personnel and support groups, such as vendors and consultants, is available in the building. Facilities and briefing areas are provided for the Exelon Communications personnel, news media and general public. Facilities are provided for the news media and the Company emergency communications personnel in the front portion of the building.
Ample telephone and data communications are provided for the emergency personnel and news media. Emergency personnel are provided with communications redundancy: digital and Centrex lines are provided through multiple vendors; and dedicated lines to Baltimore (MD), Albany (NY), Lyons (NY), Rochester (NY), Ginna Station and the NRC are available. A satellite phone system is also provided. The data/computer system has its own network server and is supported on T1 lines back to Ginna and Exelon in Baltimore, MD. Two-way radio communications are installed for use by radiological Offsite Monitoring Teams.
Cable TV service is provided by the local cable provider.
To aid in emergency assessment, pertinent information (such as engineering drawings, UFSAR, Technical Specifications, etc.) is stored at the facility and available via computer.
A terminal to the plant process computer data link is installed in the facility for obtaining plant Operations data. As the emergency is evaluated, accurate and up-to-date information of the situation is relayed to appropriate governmental agencies and the public through this center.
Communications equipment and radiation monitoring equipment for use by field teams from the EOF are maintained and readily available to them.
The EOF is also the alternate emergency facility for the TSC for planned and unplanned maintenance.
79
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 The EOF has been designated as the Alternative Facility as required by 10CFR Part 50 Appendix E Section IV.E.8.d to be used in the event of a hostile action.
6.1.5 Joint Information Center (JIC):
The Joint Information Center (JIC) for the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant is located at 1255 Research Forest, Macedon, NY. The JIC shares the structure with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The building is a single story structure of 19,000 square feet situated on a 7.23 acre land parcel with parking space for 200+
vehicles. The structure was erected in early 2005 and was built in accordance with the Town of Macedon and the State of New York building codes.
The auditorium will be used for press conferences during the emergency. When not used for press conferences, it may be used as a conference room or classroom. The auditorium is 3,500 square feet and has a 100 seat capacity. The media work area adjacent to the auditorium will be used for phone communications by the news media.

A telephone center for response to the general public will be established and the Offsite Agency Coordinator in the EOF will be in contact with elected officials.
6.1.6 Habitability
The offsite facilities are located approximately 12 miles south of the Ginna plant.
Since their location is not in the direction of the prevailing wind patterns and considering the relative distance from the plant, radiation protection equipment is not a consideration. Building heat at Research Forest is provided by natural gas fired, forced air, furnaces. Cooling is provided with electric split units. The building's electric supply is 480 volt three phase, 600 amp service. Both the gas and electric mains are underground. A secondary electric source is supplied by natural gas fueled generator, which provides 50 KV at 480/208/120 voltages. The building is also supported with a UPS/battery system and provides 208/120 volt service for approximately 30 minutes. This is to allow for a delayed start of the generator.
Lavatory facilities are available and can accommodate the emergency personnel anticipated.
6.1.7 Alternative Facility:
The Alternative Facility maintains the capability for staging the TSC/OSC emergency response organization personnel in the event of a hostile action. This alternative facility has the capability for communications with the emergency operations facility, control room, and plant security and the capability for engineering assessment activities, including damage control team planning and preparation. Consistent with NRC EPFAQ No. 2013-005, the EOF will satisfy the offsite notification responsibilities for the Alternative Facility. The Alternative Facility is located at the Ginna EOF/JIC located at 1255 Research Forest, Macedon, NY 80
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.2 Communications Systems (Ginna Station):
A broad range of communication equipment is available at Ginna Station. Several systems are installed for communication between Ginna Emergency Facilities and for communication with outside agencies. Equipment is periodically verified operable by plant procedure. The use of particular types is specified in the appropriate implementing procedures as first choice and backup systems. All services other than radio are underground between centers. Communication systems are tested periodically.
6.2.1 Evacuation Warning:
A special warbling tone on the GAI-Tronics page system is sounded from the Control Room to warn personnel of a site evacuation. Warning is immediate to all persons on site as directed by the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs). High noise areas have, in addition to the Public Address system, red warning lights with signs to direct personnel to evacuate. Special announcements on the page and special tones are used for other emergencies.
6.2.2 Phone Systems:
Communications among the Control Room, Technical Support Center and other operations centers can be established using telephone, radio or plant PA System.
Communication systems are tested periodically according to the schedule in the implementing procedure.
The telephone system at Ginna affords a great deal of flexibility and capacity. Calls can be received or made to either the Frontier telephone system or the local Verizon telephone system. The telephone system has its own power supply located onsite which could maintain house phones independent of offsite lines. There are Ontario direct lines powered by the Verizon telephone system. The Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations facility and the Central Alarm Station also contain satellite telephones for redundant communications in the event of phone system problems.
In case of an emergency, personnel not at the plant can be summoned using either the on site phones or direct lines to the Verizon and Frontier systems. A contracted notification system is used to notify responders of an emergency at the site.
Offsite radiation Offsite Monitoring Teams are also provided with portable cellular telephones as back-ups for their portable radios.
6.2.3 Radio Systems:
There are three frequencies available for use at Ginna Station. They are assigned to the Fire Brigade, Security, and Radiation Monitoring. The base stations and antennas are located for maximum transmission coverage of the areas of use. The security channel is monitored at the Central Alarm Station, the Secondary Alarm Station, and the Access Control Facility. The Radiation Monitoring and Fire Brigade channels have operator capability at the Technical Support Center and at the Emergency Operations Facility. Portable radios are available for use by Offsite Monitoring Teams in the field.
81
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I The Ginna Control Room also has a receiving and broadcasting station on a frequency which is monitored offsite by the Transmission Operator at the RG&E Energy Control Center. This channel is available for indirect communication to the State Police, Monroe and Wayne County Sheriffs and Monroe and Wayne County EOC's.
Portable low power hand radio sets are located in the Technical Support Center to be distributed in the event of an emergency for backup or mobile communication.
Portable hand radio sets are also located in the EOF and Training Center for use by the Offsite Monitoring Teams. Offsite Monitoring Teams can communicate with the Technical Support Center or EOF.
6.2.4 Offsite Communications:
Extensive phone communications capability exists at the EOF at the Research Forest building. There is installed capacity for 400 telephone lines from Research Forest to local telephone exchanges. Approximately 140 telephone lines are maintained as active. Each one of these lines can have several handsets at different locations sharing a common circuit. The Research Forest system is powered by an AC power supply which is backed up with a generator and battery uninterruptible power supply. A satellite telephone is stored in the TSC. This phone can be used if the commercial telephone system is inoperable or if there are transmission or grid problems that affect the offsite phone system. Additional circuits to the Ginna plant are provided by five outgoing and five incoming lines provided by the Verizon system.
A 25 line Centrex system to the EOF and Joint Information Center is totally separate from the site Nortel PBX. A direct line is connected between EOF Dose Assessment and the TSC. There are four satellite phones at the EOF.
A radio communications system provides the backup to the Ginna phone system.
Three other frequencies are available in the Control Room and Technical Support Center for the use of Fire Brigades, Radiation Offsite Monitoring Teams, and Plant Security. The use of these channels is explained in Section 6.2.3.
The EOF has access to all channels except security and provides monitoring of the Radiation Offsite Monitoring Teams during an incident.
Direct contact between the EOF and the TSC or Control Room is possible on the 153.50 MHz channel in case of telephone failure.
The New York State Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) has drops at 9 locations across the State connecting the Ginna plant, TSC, EOF, Wayne County, Monroe County and New York State Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs).
There is also a network of facsimile machines connecting key areas as well as telephone paging units for key staff position persons.
82
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.2.5 Offsite Notification:
Notification to State and county emergency response organizations is available 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day. The State Warning Point is staffed around the clock by the New York State Office of Emergency Management. The Monroe County Office of Emergency Management and Wayne County Emergency Management Office answer the RECS line during the workday. During non-business hours, weekends and holidays, the RECs line is covered for Wayne and Monroe Counties at their 911 Centers. At Ginna Station, there are always Control Room personnel to originate calls. New York State has responsibility for communications to other counties which may fall within the ingestion pathway exposure zone. Any contacts with Canada would also be through the State agencies.
To contact appropriate offsite agencies, the telephones would normally be used as previously noted in Section 6.2.2, with direct lines or the commercial telephone system. If necessary, offsite agencies can be contacted using satellite phones.
Communications with Federal emergency response organizations consists of telephone contact to the Department of Energy, Brookhaven Radiological Assistance Program. This call would be made by the EOF Manager per our letter of agreement with Brookhaven. Their assistance may also be requested by the State or Counties.
The NRC Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) consists of the NRC Emergency Notification System (ENS) "red phones". They are installed in the Control Room, the EOF and the Technical Support Center (including the NRC office).
NRC Health Physics Network phones are also available in the Technical Support Center and EOF. There are additional ETS telephones in the EOF and TSC.
6.3 Assessment Facilities:
Facilities are provided for the assessment of post-accident radiological conditions in order to determine the appropriate emergency measures. They consist of onsite monitoring systems, laboratory facilities and environmental radiological monitoring and sampling equipment.
6.3.1 Safety Assessment System and Plant Process Computer System (SAS/PPCS):
The PPCS incorporates the Safety Assessment System.
The PPCS computer system at Ginna Station provides historical and real time plant information via displays and hard copy devices that are located in the Ginna Control Room, the Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility.
PPCS display and report information is accessed via an alpha-numeric keyboard or icons that support menu driven functions. PPCS provides the logging and archival capability.
Both computer systems are designed to assist Control Room operators and emergency response personnel in the decision-making process during normal and abnormal plant conditions.
83
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.3.2 Process Radiation Monitoring System:
The process radiation monitoring system provides indications and alarms which permit assessment of in-plant conditions, as well as providing certain automatic actuations. The general functions of these systems are as follows:
a) To indicate primary system leakage and fuel rod failures.
b) To indicate radioactivity levels in selected process systems.
c) To indicate radioactivity released through vents or drains.
d) To provide visible and audible alarms in the Control Room when a significant increase in radiation occurs in systems or areas.
e) To alarm in the Control Room on monitoring equipment failure.
f) To shut down a purge or a release if radioactivity reaches the alarm set points and thereby avoid exceeding the release limits.
6.3.3 Effluent Monitors:
Effluent monitors available at Ginna are listed in Tables 6.3A and 6.3B. Of these monitors, particular importance is placed upon the plant vent monitors and liquid release monitor; the former because, as described in Section 3.0, Emergency Conditions, in combination with other monitors, they indicate the need for site evacuation and protective actions for the public; the latter because it indicates the need for protective measures with regard to the use of lake water.
Alarm set points are based upon the maximum allowable environmental radioactivity concentration and dose which might result from a release and set at a fraction of those values. Monitor calibration factors, correlating monitor readings and vent concentrations can be used to estimate the release rate. From vent concentrations, the offsite dose or concentration levels can be calculated. Table 6.3A summarizes these monitors and alarm functions.
Several approaches are available to supplement effluent monitor readings for the assessment of release rates and projected doses.
High range monitors have been established for the estimation of noble gas release from the plant ventilation exhaust point in the event that normal range effluent monitors are off scale or inoperable. Periodic grab samples of effluent release paths would also be used to quantify and further refine estimated releases from the plant.
Table 6.3B summarizes the SPING 4 high range monitoring system.
If no release data is available, a method for assessment of release rates is used in conjunction with the X/Q table values or map overlays and offsite concentrations.
The release rate of radioactive material from the plant can be calculated from the measured airborne concentration at a given downwind sample location and the X/Q value for that location. The airborne concentration is multiplied by the X/Q value and divided by the wind speed to obtain an estimated release rate from the plant.
84
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 The Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA 400-R-92-001), NUREG-01 33, Preparation of Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants (October 1978) and Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1, Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluation Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I (October 1977) provide the methodology for relating radiological measurements in various environmental media or effluent monitor readings to offsite dose or dose rates. Meteorological conditions can be factored into these calculations.
A procedure for manually estimating offsite doses for areas around the plant is available in the Control Room, TSC and EOF. Based upon these results, protective actions can be recommended. A computer program operating on a personal computer is also available in the TSC and EOF. This system mimics the overlay method of calculating downwind dose rates and airborne contamination levels.
A more sophisticated computer program, which uses the methods for environmental dose calculations required by Federal regulations, is also available to assess doses during and after an emergency. Additional information on the radiological consequences of a variety of accidents can be found in Chapter 15 of the Ginna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.
External dose or dose rates from surface contamination or airborne radioactivity are determined by direct field measurements (dosimeter or survey meter). Internal dose commitments from key isotopes via water or airborne pathways would be evaluated using the uptake rates, dose conversion factors, and other pathway parameters given in EPA 400, NUREG-0133 and Regulatory Guide 1.109. Computer software is available that uses these dose calculation models to determine the radiological dose assessment. In this manner, rapid determination of dose estimates from multiple pathways may be made for comparison with protective action guides.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.3.4 Area Radiation Monitoring System:
The plant area radiation monitoring system provides indications and alarms which assist in assessment of plant conditions. Its general functions are as follows:
a) To indicate the general radiation level in specified areas of the plant.
b) To provide visible and audible alarms in both the Control Room and the remote meter location when a significant increase in radiation level occurs.
c) To provide a visible alarm in the Control Room on meter or detector failure.
As described in Section 3.0, Emergency Conditions, this system is used to initiate local radiation emergency protective action and, in combination with other systems, to indicate the need for a site evacuation and possible offsite protective measures.
Table 6.3C lists the location of area monitors of major interest. Alarm set points can be found in Plant Procedure P-9.
High Range Radiation Monitors are installed within containment with readout in the Control Room. A procedure is available by which readings can be converted to an interpretation of the extent of fuel damage and/or radioactivity released to the containment atmosphere.
6.3.5 Source Range Nuclear Instrumentation:
The two source range channels are used at shutdown to provide an audible count rate signal and audible alarms in both the Control Room and containment to call attention to unexpected increase in neutron flux. A high source range alarm in containment is the signal to evacuate the area.
6.3.6 Continuous Air Monitors:
Several mobile radiation monitors are available within the controlled areas particularly for use during work where local detection of excessive airborne contamination is advisable. Various combinations of noble gases, iodine and particulate monitors are available. These are equipped with meter as well as audible and visible alarms.
6.3.7 Portable Monitors, Samplinq Equipment and Other Special Equipment:
Portable monitors, sampling equipment and other special equipment for assessing the extent of the consequences of a radiation emergency are located in the Control Room, the Radiation Protection office, the Auxiliary Building and the Training Center, including individual survey equipment boxes for each offsite monitoring team. A summary of this equipment is given in Appendix D. Additional sampling and monitoring equipment is also available in the TSC and the EOF.
6.3.8 Process and Containment Monitors:
Numerous process variables are indicated and recorded in the Control Room to ensure safe and orderly operation of all systems and processes over the full operating range of the plant, as well as for detection of off-normal or emergency 90
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.3.8 (continued) conditions. Of these monitors, particular importance is placed upon those which provide for detection of a loss of coolant accident and the immediate automatic actuation of equipment to mitigate its consequences. These include 4 channels for Pressurizer pressure, 3 channels for Pressurizer level, 4 channels for Steam Generator level, 4 channels for Reactor Coolant average temperature, 2 channels for steam flow and feedwater flow for each Steam Generator. Along with these are indications of containment conditions, which include 6 channels for containment pressure, sump level and pump actuation, safety injection recirculation sump level indicator, 4 channels for fan cooler condensate level, and 6 channels for dew point temperature.
Greater detail for the process and containment monitors is given in the UFSAR, Chapter 7.
Seismic and hydrologic emergencies are treated by Procedure ER-SC.4 and ER-SC.2 respectively. A seismic monitor (accelerograph) is located in the intermediate building sub-basement and a lake level indication is available from the plant computers or the Screen House.
Information concerning seismic or hydrologic events can be obtained from offsite agencies such as the NYS geologist at the State Education Department or at Cornell University Geology Department.
6.3.9 Plant Laboratories:
The laboratory area of the plant is maintained for the purpose of monitoring the condition of a variety of fluid streams and stored fluids including: the activity and isotopic content; for assessing the degree of contamination of plant areas, movable items and personnel; and for storing, calibrating and maintaining portable and laboratory radiation measuring instruments. Separate laboratory services are contracted with Entergy Nuclear Northeast's Environmental Laboratory in Fulton, New York, for assessing the effect of the plant operation on the environs.
By the use of a Post-Accident Sampling System located in the controlled area of the Intermediate Building, samples can be drawn from reactor coolant, containment atmosphere, and containment sump. These samples are processed from a remote control board to open valves, collect the sample, and read out results of the analysis. Analyses for chlorides and radioactive isotopes can be completed on diluted, shielded grab samples in a laboratory facility within the times required by NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements. Samples can be taken and analyzed without exceeding personnel doses of 5 Rem. This system will also be used for normal Operations samples.
In addition to laboratory facilities within the plant, some capability is provided at the Training Center for use in assessing the offsite effects of an incident. The resources of the Environmental Laboratory operated by Entergy Nuclear Northeast at Fulton, New York, are also available as noted in a letter of agreement. The chemistry laboratories of the nuclear plants at the Oswego, New York, site are also available to supplement the Ginna onsite laboratory.
91
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I 6.3.10 Meteorological Monitoring:
Data on meteorological conditions is available to the Control Room for use in assessing the consequences of an airborne release of radioactive matter. All meteorological measuring devices, with the exception of the precipitation measuring system, are mounted on a 250 feet weather tower located at the Ginna plant site.
Wind speed, wind direction and temperature are measured at the 33, 150, and 250 feet levels. The 33 foot wind speed and direction sensor readings are recorded on the Radiation Monitoring System Panel in the Ginna Control Room. Temperatures at three tower levels are also indicated in the Control Room by digital display. This information will be relayed to the NRC Operations Center and the New York State and County EOCs. Meteorological data is available continuously and is also programmed for printout at 15 minute averages, accessible from the TSC and EOF.
Rainfall is measured by a tipping bucket rain gauge located at the base of the Ginna weather tower. Wind direction, wind speed, and temperature indications from the three tower elevations are also registered on the Ginna Plant Process Computer System. Instrumentation and calibration procedures associated with the Ginna meteorological program are in conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.23.
The weather tower is equipped with redundant sensing devices for use as backup indicators of wind speed, direction, temperature and temperature difference. All meteorological data will be collected and computer processed to provide estimates of radioactive materials transport and diffusion under routine and accident conditions. Power for the meteorological measurements system and associated equipment is supplied by an electrical feed separate from the plant. Means for remote interrogation of the meteorological system by telephone link is available to the TSC and EOF via computer terminals at each location.
The Buffalo International Airport (National Weather Service) has meteorological instrumentation readings which can be accessed by private phone number on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> basis. A backup weather tower is located in close proximity south of the plant, and has a wind direction and speed recorder. Means for remote interrogation of the backup meteorological system is available at the TSC and EOF via computer terminal.
An implementing procedure describes the method by which onsite meteorological information is used for the estimation of offsite radiation doses. Based upon wind conditions and determined atmospheric stability, estimates of downwind radioactivity concentrations and doses can be made by dose assessment staff using manual or computerized calculation methods.
6.3.11 Environs Radiological Monitoring:
Sampling systems are established for normal environmental sampling in the immediate area surrounding the plant and also in locations whose distance from the plant roughly corresponds to 1/100th of the onsite radioactivity concentrations estimated from annual average atmospheric dispersion. These stations contain provisions for air sampling and for radiation dose measurement. Certain stations include precipitation collectors. They provide information about the extent of a general emergency and its effect on the environment, in accordance with appropriate implementing procedures.
92
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.3.11 (continued)
In addition, an array of dosimeters is in place at the site boundary, at the offsite sampling stations (approximately 10 miles) and at the onsite sampling stations. Up to 18 additional dosimeters have been placed at specified locations, which will add to the evaluation of doses throughout the Emergency Planning Zone. The placement of these dosimeters around Ginna Station for routine or post-accident radiation assessment is given in an implementing procedure.
Maps are included in that procedure so as to locate the TLDs for best coverage (Figure 6.3). The radiological program provided meets the minimum requirements of the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position for Environmental Radiological Environmental Monitoring.
Monitoring teams are quickly dispatched to follow designated routes for the field monitoring within the plume exposure zone. A Ginna Station procedure details the method used for the rapid field determination of airborne particulate and radioiodine concentrations following an accident in addition to radiation levels. The procedure consists of operating a portable air sampler which contains a silver zeolite cartridge and particulate filter, followed by direct filter measurement with a count rate meter probe. The minimum sensitivity for iodine by this method, based upon a 6 minute sampling time, is approximately 2.3 E-8 microcurie/cc.
It is recognized that under certain post-accident conditions, some unavoidable interference from noble gas or high background levels may affect the initial filter readings being taken in the field. The absorption of noble gases in the charcoal cartridge would lead to an overestimate of airborne radioiodine concentrations.
Therefore, silver zeolite is used. If background levels are too high to determine a proper filter reading, filter measurements will be made at an alternate location out of the radiation plume.
Air samples collected by Offsite Monitoring Teams from portable sampling devices and from fixed air monitoring systems may be evaluated using higher sensitivity methods with onsite or near-site analytical equipment (e.g., environmental laboratory).

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.3.12 Emernency Instruments and Equipment:
Emergency equipment for the various centers is described in Appendix D. This equipment is checked periodically according to the schedule in implementing procedures to ensure that it is available and operable. Any instrument or equipment found to be in need of repair or calibration is immediately replaced from the Radiation Protection reserve supplies. Instruments are calibrated along with plant instruments by the Radiation Protection section according to RP procedures which meet the manufacturers' recommendations. Sufficient reserves of instruments and equipment are available to replace those that are removed from service for maintenance and/or calibration.
6.3.13 Public Alerting System:
An alerting system to make the public aware of an incident at Ginna Station which may require protective action on their part has been developed and installed. The Ginna prompt public alerting system consists of 96 sirens. In addition, tone alert radios have been provided at schools, nursing homes and industrial establishments as an enhancement to the Public Alerting System. The special supplemental needs of transient populations at locations such as motels, parks and work camps will be addressed, as necessary, within the individual county plans. Instructions for transient populations have been distributed to such locations.
The objectives of the Ginna prompt public alerting system are twofold: to alert the general public both indoors and outdoors of the existence of an emergency situation and to provide for the communication of preliminary emergency information.
The design objective for this system is to complete the initial alerting of the affected population within the Plume Exposure Pathway within 15 minutes after the notification of State and local governments by the Ginna. The system was designed to assure coverage of essentially 100% of the population within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone.
The control of the system rests with the county officials within their respective borders. In Monroe County, the County Executive has this authority and, in Wayne County, it is the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Sirens are activated by the counties and maintained by Ginna. Tone alert radios are activated by a radio signal from the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The sirens activate for 3 to 5 minutes.
6.3.13.1 Siren Backup:
A backup activation point is available in each county for activating the alert system should the primary transmitter fail. The siren portion of the alert system is designed to produce a minimum 10dB(C) above ambient sound levels in all portions of the Emergency Planning Zone or a sound level of at least 60 dB for population areas with <2,000 persons/mile or 70dB for population areas with >2,000 persons/mile.
The Technical Support Center (TSC) has an activation point that can be used as a back-up for both Monroe and Wayne Counties. Each county also has a method for back-up alerting. In the Wayne County portion of the 10-mile EPZ, route alerting is activated by the Wayne County EOC and carried out using loudspeakers mounted on county-owned emergency response vehicles. Monroe County's back-up alerting 95
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 6.3.13.2 (continued) method is a mass-notification reverse-calling system that can send emergency alert messages to specific geographical areas.
6,3.13.2 Siren Testing:
Siren reliability will be tested periodically at 3 levels of operation:
- 1. Bi-weekly silent tests to verify system electronic components are functioning.
- 2. Quarterly manually-activated growl tests
- 3. Annual full duration audible tests of the entire system.
Periodic surveys will be taken by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to determine any difficulties which may require corrective measures.
Alert system operations reliability is expected to be greater than 95%. Sirens are powered off the RG&E distribution system which has better than 99% availability. It is fed from the New York State Power Pool grid; therefore, it is not dependent on the operation of Ginna. The Company has the responsibility for maintaining the siren alert system operable. The location of sirens is given in Appendix I.
A siren verification system is installed providing remote feedback capability to both counties and Ginna from all 96 siren units. The system is used to verify proper siren activation and to verify whether inadvertent siren activations have occurred.
When appropriate, growl testing of the sirens will be conducted following preventive or corrective maintenance. Depending on the scope of the maintenance, the work order will determine if growl testing is appropriate.
6.3.13.3 Emergency Alert System:
If the sirens are activated, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will notify the public of the actions they should take.
During an emergency at Ginna, activation of the EAS will be the result of a cooperative decision between lead officials of Wayne and Monroe Counties and New York State. In extenuating circumstances, activation requests may be made unilaterally by one of those entities.
Sample messages to be given over the EAS via radio and television are part of the county procedures. A calendar that is distributed annually provides information regarding the system and appropriate actions to be taken.
The Wayne County Public Information Officer (PIO) will notify the Local Primary (LP-1) station of an imminent EAS broadcast and will coordinate the broadcast time for the message. If Ginna's JIC has not been activated, or all lead PlOs have not yet reported there when the decision is made by either county to request EAS activation, coordination of the message preparation may take place between the Wayne and Monroe County EOCs.

IfWayne County cannot contact the LP-1 station, the Wayne County PIO will communicate the approved EAS message to Monroe County. Monroe County will read the EAS message to the LP-1 station via a telephone at the Monroe County EOC that is hard-wired into the LP-1 station's newsroom.
6.3.14 Fire Protection Facilities:
The fire protection facilities are comprised of a number of automatic and non-automatic protection systems as well as assessment and alerting equipment.
Fire protection facilities have been installed in accordance with NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluations. Detection is provided in all areas of the plant that contain vital equipment. The system initiates suppression systems and alarms in the Control Room.
6.4 Protective Facilities:
Aspects of the plant which serve a protective function to personnel onsite in the event of an emergency are described in this section. They include accident shielding, protective ventilation, emergency condition signaling equipment, assembly locations, containment control provisions, and other protective equipment and supplies. First aid and medical facilities are treated separately in Section 6.5.
6.4.1 Accident Shield:
The containment vessel consists of the 3.5 feet thick reinforced concrete cylinder capped by a hemispherical reinforced concrete dome of a 2.5 feet thickness. The shielding includes supplemental shields in front of the containment personnel hatch and 20 inch walls, east and south sides and the roof of the Control Room. The equipment access hatch is shielded by a 3 feet thick concrete shadow shield and a 1foot concrete roof to reduce scattered dose levels. Concrete walls and ceiling of the Technical Support Center provide shielding.
6.4.2 Protective Ventilation:
During normal operation a varying amount of fresh outside air is admitted to the Control Room via the normal Control Room ventilation system.
If sensors detect high radiation levels, chlorine gas or ammonia gas in the Control Room outside air intake, the Control Room is automatically isolated, the normal Control Room ventilation system is secured, and two trains of the Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System (CREATS) will automatically start. CREATS provides charcoal and high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration for removal of radioactive particles and gaseous iodine from the Control Room atmosphere.
The Technical Support Center has filtered fresh air makeup, with charcoal filtration, to meet habitability requirements for occupancy.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I 6.4.3 Alerting Equipment:
Plant personnel are signaled to evacuate at once by a special tone, activated manually in the Control Room. In areas where audible signals may not be heard, special flashing lights have been installed. For fire and medical emergencies, an explicit announcement is made over the PA system.
6.4.4 Assembly Locations:
Several assembly locations have been established, the selection of which will depend on the conditions of the emergency. Non-essential personnel affected by a local radiation emergency are to report to the Decontamination Area.
In the event of a site evacuation, all Control Room operators are to report to the Control Room, the protective features of which are described above. Non-essential personnel are to reassemble at the Ginna Training Center or alternate assembly area as directed, except for those having a role in the Technical Support Center or Operations Support Center, described in Section 6.1. The Training Center has several classrooms and offices to accommodate non-essential personnel. The classrooms and offices, roughly 600 feet from the reactor, seats more than 150 people; there is additional room in the classrooms and offices. A local radiation monitor is installed in the Training Center which houses the Offsite Monitoring Team equipment to aid in the evaluation of the necessity for emergency organization personnel to relocate.
6.4.5 Contamination Control Provisions:
The plant site is divided into two categories, the "Clean Area" and the Radiologically Controlled Area. Entry to and exit from the Radiologically Controlled Area is normally through the designated Access Control Point. Any area in which radioactive materials and radiation are present shall be surveyed, classified, roped and conspicuously posted with the appropriate radiation caution sign. These then become Radiologically Controlled Areas and proper access is provided and controlled. Plant procedures provide the radiation or contamination levels at which an area is declared a Radiologically Controlled Area or removed from radiation control status.
The general arrangement of the service facilities is designed to provide adequate personnel decontamination and change areas. The clean locker room is used to store items of personal clothing not required or allowed in the Controlled Area.
The Hot Shop is employed as a protective clothing change area. A supply of clean protective clothing for personnel is maintained in this area, and there is provision for collection of used protective clothing.
All personnel will survey themselves on leaving the Controlled Area using equipment provided at the Access Control Point.
Personnel decontamination supplies with instructions posted for their use are available in the access control area.

In the event of a site evacuation, provisions for decontamination are available at the onsite Training Center.
A 1000-gallon holding tank is available to contain decontamination water from a sink and shower located at the Training Center. Decontamination water will be sampled prior to transfer, treatment or disposal.
6.4.6 Protective Equipment and Supplies:
Personnel entering the Controlled Area may be required to wear protective clothing.
The nature of the work to be done governs the selection of protective clothing to be worn by individuals. The protective apparel available is shoe covers, head covers, gloves and coveralls. Additional items of specialized apparel such as plastic suits, face shields, and respirators are available for operations involving high levels of contamination. In all cases, Radiation Protection personnel shall evaluate the radiological conditions and specify the required items of protective clothing to be worn.
Respiratory protective devices are required wherever an airborne radiation area exists or is expected. In such cases, Radiation Protection personnel monitor the airborne concentrations and specify the necessary protective devices according to concentration and type of airborne contaminants present.
Available respiratory devices include full face air purifying respirators (filter type both negative and pressured powered air purifying units). Air- line supplied respirators of pressure demand type are used as well as constant flow hoods. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus devices, using full face masks and pressure demand regulators, are also available.
For use in an emergency, equipment and supplies are located in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, and the Training Center. Equipment categories are given in Appendix D.
6.4.7 Emergency Vehicles:
In the event it becomes necessary to make use of automotive equipment, a number of vehicles will be available. These include company-owned vehicles and personal vehicles. A small delivery truck and a small work truck are assigned to the Station.
The grounds maintenance garage, nearby, is assigned a 4-wheel drive truck.

8.0 RECOVERY
After the initial emergency response actions are concluded (i.e., the plant is in cold shutdown and under control), a decision to begin the recovery phase will be initiated. A number of considerations will enter into the decision to begin the recovery phase and dismantle the Emergency Response Organization. The decision to enter the recovery phase will be made by the Emergency Director in consultation with the support managers, the Plant Operation Review Committee, and the corporate officers and offsite personnel. CNG-EP-1.01-1022, Termination and Recovery, will be used by the organization to transition from a response organization to a recovery organization.
Federal, State and local authorities shall be advised of any decisions and resulting changes pertaining to the Emergency Organization status.
8.1 Recovery Actions:
Re-entry of the plant, decontamination, repair, and return to operation will be controlled by a general implementing procedure which provides for development of a flexible plan of actions and specifies particular evaluation and planning activities.
A recovery organization to provide long term augmentation of the emergency organization has been established. A procedure to alert these people and put the EOF into operation is part of the station implementing procedures.
CNG-EP-1.01-1022 details the establishment of a Recovery organization.
The Emergency Director will notify all response organizations that recovery operations are underway.
In the recovery phase, all actions will be carefully planned by station supervisory personnel in conjunction with the Recovery Team, the Technical Support Center personnel and the Ginna senior management. Planning for recovery will include evaluation of survey data, review of exposures incurred, projection of manpower and equipment needs, and re-entry offsite monitoring team activities. Actions prescribed upon re-entry include a comprehensive survey of the plant to define radiological problem areas. Based on survey results, high radiation areas and areas of contamination will be isolated and posted and, if possible, portable shielding will be used, as appropriate.
Upon evaluation of plant conditions, further activities for making necessary repairs, decontamination and restoration to normal operations will be outlined by Ginna senior management in accordance with standard Radiation Protection practices.

GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 I APPENDIX B SUMMARIES OF INTERFACING EMERGENCY PLANS
- 1. New York State Radiological Emer-gency Preparedness Plan:
The purpose of the NYS Plan is to minimize the risk to the health of the inhabitants of the State in the event of a radiological emergency. This will be accomplished by identifying measures to prevent and mitigate such an emergency; by developing mechanisms to coordinate Federal, State, local and private sector resources, during and after such an emergency; and by providing for recovery following a radiological emergency.
The New York State Department of Health is the state agency having primary responsibility in this area.
The New York State Public Health Law gives the Commissioner of Health broad authority for protecting the health and life of the people of New York State, including protection against ionizing radiation. The State Sanitary Code, Part 16, which implements the Public Health Law, includes requirements relating to accidents, emergencies, or incidents.
Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law (State and Local Natural and Manmade Disaster Preparedness) created a State Disaster Preparedness Commission. This Commission is charged with a wide variety of power and responsibilities, designed to provide a comprehensive emergency system to prevent or react to emergencies or disasters within the State. Among these responsibilities are: (1) to develop and maintain a State plan and to assist local government in developing such plans; (2) to direct State disaster operations and coordinate State operations with local disaster operations; (3) to coordinate recovery operations and recovery assistance; and (4) to provide training to assure that responsible personnel are familiar with plans and procedures. Where, by tradition, emergency plans have been primarily concerned with response activities, New York State has adopted an overall emergency preparedness system which includes two interrelated critical phases.
(1) Preventive/Mitigation:
This is the initial phase of activities that is aimed at eliminating or reducing the probability of the occurrence of a radiological emergency, and at minimizing the impact of a radiological emergency on public health and property. These activities include the development of new legislation and the development of preparedness plans and training programs. Prevention/mitigation activities form a basis for enhancing the quality of response operations.
(2) Response:
The response phase follows the identification or notification of an emergency.
Generally, response activities are planned to minimize the adverse impact on public health and to protect property, to the extent possible, through emergency assistance. These activities include accident assessment and 111
GINNA STATION NERP NUCLEAR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Revision 03900 APPENDIX B evaluation and radiological exposure control. They also reduce the probability of secondary damage and speed recovery operations.
- 2. Wayne County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (CRERP):
When considering radiological emergencies, preparedness, response, and recovery are general responsibilities which are shared by all levels of government and the nuclear facility operators. These emergencies will be dealt with at the local or county level until such time that the county's resources have been exhausted. At this point, in addition to technical guidance and evaluation, the county will request state assistance through the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO).
The mission of the County Emergency Response Organization and the County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (CRERP) is to protect the health and safety of the general public of Wayne County in the unlikely event of a radiological release incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
In order to successfully execute this mission it will be necessary to perform the following operations:
- 1. Monitor and assess the scope and magnitude of the incident;
- 2. Evaluate and decide which protective action response options should be initiated;
- 3. Implement the appropriate protective action response option (or combination of options, if necessary.)
The successful implementation of the CRERP will depend on the efficient and effective coordination with other emergency response organizations. Specifically, the CRERP will be closely coordinated with the RERP of Monroe County; the New York State Radiological Emergency Plan; and the Ginna Station Nuclear Emergency Response Plan.
- 3. Monroe County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (CRERP):
When considering radiological emergencies, preparedness, response, and recovery are general responsibilities which are shared by all levels of government and the nuclear facility operators. These emergencies will be dealt with at the local or county level until such time that the county's resources have been exhausted. At this point, in addition to technical guidance and evaluation, the county will request state assistance through the New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO).
The mission of the County Emergency Response Organization and the County Radiological Emergency Plan is to protect the health and safety of the general public of Monroe County in the unlikely event of a radiological release incident at the Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
In order to successfully execute this mission it will be necessary to perform the following operations:
