5 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
RECORD OF CHANGES (Continued)
REVISION EFFECTIVE NUMBER DATE REASON FOR REVISIONS 2006-03 06/8/06 Section D - Change #1 Revised initiating condition #2 for the Alert classification for Enclosure 4.6 (Fire/Explosions and Security Events). This change is based on a correction to the NEI White Paper, Enhancements to Emergency Preparedness Programs For Hostile Actions which was endorsed in a letter from the NRC on December 8, 2005. Change #2 - Renumbered Emergency Action Levels through out Section D to match the numbering scheme found in RP/0/B/1000/001 (Emergency Classification) procedure - Renumbering makes it easier for procedure users to locate the correct emergency action level in the Basis Document. Appendix 5 - Agreement Letters #8, 14,15 & 23 were updated.
2006-04 11/06 Reference changes to the deletion of the Clemson EOF and incorporates reference to the Charlotte EOF. In addition, miscellaneous editorial changes are included in this revision.
2007-01 03/07 Appendix 5 Agreement Letters that have been updated/revised.
2007-02 12/07 Editorial changes including a revised 50 mile radius map (Figure B), a revision to the Emergency Classification Basis Section D, the 2008 Emergency Planning Calendar, a revised layout drawing for the JIC, a revised listing of portable survey instruments, the latest renewal of existing agreement letters and a revised Ground Water Monitoring Plan 2008-01 09/08 The original order of the EALs created a human performance trap. The first fission barrier column that the procedure user reviews is the RCS Barrier column which is on the left side of the page. The second fission barrier column that is reviewed is the Fuel Clad Barrier which is in the center of the page. This order gives the procedure user the mind set that the EALs are listed in the same order: RCS EAL followed by the Fuel Clad EAL. Changing the order of the EALs is not a deviation from the approved EAL scheme but is a difference. This change does not constitute a decrease in the effectiveness of the EPLAN since the EALs are exactly the same.
2008-02 10/08 As of this change 2008-02, the Emergency Plan is now available on NEDL/SCRIBE and has been completely re-issued. All changes in the future to the Emergency Plan will be completed thru NEDL/SCRIBE. The following Agreement Letters were also updated: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11, 19and21.
2009-01 02/09 Revised existing information relating to organization names that have changed, removed specific names and replaced with a title to mitigate the need for future revisions due to personnel changes, and changed staging location names based on changes made to area designation names; however staging will still occur in same area. Changes made only reflect actual organization names, functional position names, and current location names being used to make the E-Plan more accurately reflect current information. No changes are being made to the process or conduct of the how the E-Plan is to be implemented.
Rev. 2014-003 December 2014

D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM RegGuide 1.10 1, Rev. 3, August, 1992, approved the guidance provided by NUMARC/NESP-007, Revision 2, as an Alternative Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels. Oconee Nuclear Site used the NUMARC guidance for the development of initiating conditions and emergency action levels. The emergency action levels provided in this section have been modified to implement the guidance provided in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, NEI guidance as endorsed in Regulatory Issue Summary 2006-12 and to support the implementation of NEI 03-12.
The emergency classification system utilizes four categories for classification of emergency events.
D.l.a. UNUSUAL EVENT Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
The purpose of an Unusual Event classification is to provide notification of the emergency to the station staff, State and Local Government representatives, and the NRC.
Specific initiating conditions and their corresponding emergency action levels are provided in the Basis Document beginning on page D-4.
D.l.b ALERT Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
The purpose of the Alert classification is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to:
- 1. Activate the onsite response centers
- 2. Respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required
- 3. Provide offsite authorities current status information Specific initiating conditions and their corresponding emergency action levels are provided in the Basis Document beginning on page D-4.
D-1 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
D.1.c. SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
The purpose of the Site Area Emergency classification is to:
- 1. Activate the offsite response centers
- 2. Assure that monitoring teams are mobilized
- 3. Assure that personnel required for taking protective actions of near site areas are at duty stations should the situation become more serious
- 4. Provide current information to the public and be available for consultation with offsite authorities Specific initiating conditions and their corresponding emergency action levels are provided in the Basis Document beginning on page D-4.
D. 1.d. GENERAL EMERGENCY Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
The purpose of the General Emergency classification is to:
- 1. Initiate predetermined protective actions for the public
- 2. Provide continuous assessment of information from onsite and offsite measurements
- 3. Initiate additional measures as indicated by event releases or potential releases
- 4. Provide current information to the public and be available for consultation with offsite authorities Specific initiating conditions and their corresponding emergency action levels are provided in the Basis Document beginning on page D-4.
D-2 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
D.2 Initiating Conditions Initiating conditions and their corresponding emergency actions levels are contained in the BASIS document beginning on page D-4. Classification procedure (RP/O/A/1000/001) provides the guidance necessary to classify events and promptly declare the appropriate emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to cognizant facility staff that an emergency action level threshold has been exceeded. Specific response procedures are in place for the Control Room, Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility which delineate the required response during the appropriate classification.

ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE RCS BARRIER EALs: (1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5)
The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves.
- 1. RCS Leak Rate Small leaks may result in the inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the High Pressure Injection System.
The capacity of one HPI pump at normal system pressure is approximately 160 gpm.
Leakage in excess of this value would call for compensatory action to maintain normal liquid inventory. As such, this is an indication of a degraded RCS barrier and is considered to be a potential loss of the barrier.
The loss of subcooling is the fundamental indication that the inventory loss from the primary system exceeds the capacity of the inventory control systems. If the loss of subcooling is indicated, the RCS barrier is considered lost.
- 2. SG Tube Rupture Small Steam Generator tube leaks may result in the inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the High Pressure Injection System. The capacity of one HPI pump at normal system pressure is approximately 160 gpm. Leakage in excess of this value would call for compensatory action to maintain normal liquid inventory. As such, this is an indication of a degraded RCS barrier and is considered to be a potential loss of the barrier.
A tube rupture (> than 160 gpm) with an unisolable secondary line rupture is generally indicated by a reduction in primary coolant inventory, increased secondary radiation levels, and an uncontrolled or complete depressurization of the ruptured SG. This set of conditions represents a potential loss of the RCS and loss of containment fission product barrier and will result in the declaration of a Site Area Emergency. Escalation to a General Emergency would be indicated by at least a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier.
D-5 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE
- 2. SG Tube Rupture Secondary radiation increases should be observed via radiation monitoring of Condenser Air Ejector Discharge, Main Steam, and/or SG Sampling System. Determination of the "uncontrolled" depressurization of the ruptured SG should be based on indication that the pressure decrease in the ruptured steam generator is not a function of operator action. This should prevent declaration based on a depressurization that results from an EOP induced cooldown of the RCS that does not involve the prolonged release of contaminated secondary coolant from the affected SG to the environment. This EAL should encompass steam breaks, feed breaks, and stuck open safety or relief valves.
A steam generator tube leak less than 160 gpm would be classified under Enclosure 4.2, Systems Malfunctions, RCS leakage as an Unusual Event. If a release also occurs such as steam through a steam relief valve failed open, feedwater line break, steam line break on the affected steam generator then a loss of the Containment Barrier has also occurred.
Upgrade to a higher classification would be by Enclosure 4.3, Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent or further degradation of RCS or Fuel Clad Barriers.
- 3. Entry Into PTS Entry into Pressurized Thermal Shock Operation could cause damage to the reactor vessel severe enough to cause a loss of coolant accident. Therefore, this situation represents a potential loss of the RCS. This EAL is satisfied if Rule 8 (Pressurized Thermal Shock) is implemented.
- 4. Reactor Coolant System Integrity HPI Forced cooling represents the failure of the steam generators to remove heat from the core. To use this mode of cooling indicates that all feedwater (both main and emergency) are not available for use and the pressure in the reactor coolant system is greater than or equal to 2300 psig. The power-operated relief valve must be opened to initiate the cooling through the high pressure injection system. In effect, a self-imposed loss of coolant is established. The condition is classified as a potential loss of the reactor coolant system.
A reactor coolant system pressure spike of greater than or equal to design pressure of 2750 psig represents a loss of the RCS barrier.

- 5. Containment Radiation Monitoring A containment radiation monitor reading of > 1 R/hr on radiation monitors 1RIA-57 or 58 (Unit 1), 2RIA-58 (Unit 2), and 3RIA-57 or 58 (Unit 3) indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment. A containment radiation monitor reading of >1.6 R/hr on radiation monitor 2RIA-57 (Unit 2) also indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment. The difference in these values is due to the relative strength of the detector check source which affects the background readings for the detector (the source for 2RIA-57 is stronger than that for the remaining detectors). This reading is less than that specified for Fuel Clad Barrier EAL#3. Thus, this EAL would be indicative of a RCS leak only. If the radiation monitor reading increased to that specified by Fuel Clad Barrier EAL
- 3, fuel damage would also be indicated.
There is no "Potential Loss" EAL associated with this item.
- 6. Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director Judgment This EAL is intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly but warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Coordinator/EOF Director to fall under either the loss or potential loss of the RCS Barrier.

ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE FUEL CLAD BARRIER EALs: (1 or 2 or 3 or 4)
The Fuel Clad Barrier is the zircalloy tubes that contain the fuel pellets.
- 1. Core Exit Thermocouple Readings The "Potential Loss" EAL reading corresponds to loss of subcooling. The value of 700 'F is indicative of superheated steam and is a value referenced in the Emergency Operating procedure. The loss of subcooling may lead to clad damage and, therefore, this is a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier.
The "Loss" EAL reading (1200 'F) indicates significant superheating of the coolant and core uncovery. Clad damage under these conditions is likely; therefore, this is indication of loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.
- 2. Primary Coolant Activity Level The value of 300 pCi/ml DEI coolant activity is well above that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to about 4% fuel clad damage. This amount of clad damage indicates significant clad damage and thus the Fuel Clad Barrier is considered lost. Basis for determination is Engineering Calculation OSC-5283.
There is no equivalent "Potential Loss" EAL for this item.
- 3. Reactor Vessel Water Level A valid reading of 0" on the RVLS (Reactor Vessel Level System) is an indicator that the fuel could be uncovered and would signify a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier. RVLS is invalid if LPI pumps are running and taking suction from the LPI drop line.
- 4. Containment Radiation Monitoring Containment monitor readings on RIA 57/58 in the below listed table is higher than can be attributed to normal reactor coolant activity alone. These levels indicate that approximately 4% of the fuel cladding has failed which is consistent with the release of 300 uC/ml DEI to the containment atmosphere. Release of this amount of activity into containment corresponds to a loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers. Basis for the calculation which determined the activity levels can be found in engineering calculation OSC-5283.

ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE CONTAINMENT BARRIER EALs: (1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6)
The Containment Barrier includes the containment building, its connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam, feedwater, and blowdown line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve.
- 1. Containment Pressure
- Containment pressure above 59 psig (the design pressure) indicates that the containment or its heat removal systems are not functioning as intended. This degradation of containment pressure control represents a potential loss of containment integrity.
- Containment pressure of 10 psig with no reactor building cooling units or reactor building spray available represents degradation in the control of the containment conditions. Therefore, this situation represents a potential loss of containment integrity.
A containment hydrogen concentration greater than 9 percent volume is sufficient to expect that any ignition would result in complete combustion of the hydrogen in containment and a significant pressure rise. At hydrogen concentrations near 9 percent volume no challenge to containment integrity would be expected. At levels somewhat higher the possibility of a deflagration to detonation transition raises the uncertainty as to the actual response of the containment. Therefore, it is prudent that this level of hydrogen in the containment be considered a potential loss of containment integrity.
Rapid unexplained loss of pressure (i.e., not attributable to containment spray or condensation effects) following an initial pressure increase indicates a loss of containment integrity.
Containment pressure and sump levels should increase as a result of the mass and energy release into containment from a LOCA. Thus, sump level or pressure not increasing indicates an interfacing systems LOCA which is a containment bypass and a loss of containment integrity.

ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE
- 2. Containment Isolation Valve Status After Containment Isolation Failure to isolate those containment pathways which would allow containment atmosphere to be released to the environment is a loss of the containment barrier.
The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems. The existence of an in-line charcoal filter does not make a release path indirect since the filter is not effective at removing fission product noble gases. Typical filters have an efficiency of 95-99% removal of iodine. Given the magnitude of the core inventory of iodine, significant releases could still occur. In addition, since the fission product release would be driven by boiling in the reactor vessel, the high humidity in the release stream can be expected to render the filters ineffective in a short period.
There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with this item.
The decision of whether this EAL is satisfied should be based on present and readily available information. This includes physical data seen and heard. It is not the intent of this EAL to use relatively long term calculations to make the determination. If there is a pathway which would allow containment atmosphere to be released to the environment, this EAL is satisfied.
There is no "Potential Loss" EAL associated with this item.
- 3. SG Secondary Side Release With Primary To Secondary Leakage Secondary side releases directly to the atmosphere include atmospheric dump valves and stuck open main steam safety valves. If the main condenser is available, there may be releases via air ejector, gland seal exhauster, and other similar controlled, and often monitored, pathways. These pathways do not meet the intent of a direct opening to the environment. These minor releases are assessed using Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent Initiating Conditions. A failure of the secondary side which results in a direct opening to the environment, in combination with Primary to Secondary leakage > 10 gpm in the same steam generator, constitutes a bypass of the containment, and therefore, a loss of the containment barrier.
D-11 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
ENCLOSURE 4.1 BASIS INFORMATION FOR FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER REFERENCE TABLE Likewise, a failure of the secondary side which results in a direct opening to the environment, in combination with Primary to Secondary leakage > 10 gpm in the other steam generator, constitutes a bypass of the containment, IF the SG with the secondary side failure is being fed feedwater from the affected unit. Therefore, this condition also constitutes a loss of the containment barrier.
In combination with the SG Tube Rupture EAL under the RCS barrier section, the appropriate classification can be determined.
There is no "Potential Loss" EAL associated with this item.
- 4. Significant Radioactive Inventory in Containment Containment radiation readings shown in the table below are values which indicate significant fuel damage well in excess of the EALs associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of RCS Barriers. NUREG-1228, "Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents," indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is less than 20%. This amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment.
By treating the radioactive inventory in containment as a potential loss, a General Emergency will be declared when the conditions of the fuel clad and RCS barriers are included in the evaluation. This will allow the appropriate protective actions to be recommended.

- 5. Core Exit Thermocouple Core Exit Thermocouple temperatures > 1200 OF or > 700 OF with a valid RVLS reading for greater than 15 minutes, in this potential loss EAL represent imminent core damage that, if not terminated, could lead to vessel failure and an increased potential for containment failure. The potential for containment challenge as a result of events at reactor vessel failure makes it prudent to consider an unmitigated core damage condition as a potential loss of the containment barrier.
Severe accident analyses (e.g., NUREG- 1150) have concluded that function restoration procedures can arrest core degradation within the reactor vessel in a significant fraction of the core damage scenarios, and that the likelihood of containment failure is very small in these events. Given this, it is appropriate to provide a reasonable period to allow function restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence. Whether or not the procedures will be effective should be apparent within 15 minutes. The Emergency Coordinator should make the declaration as soon as it is determined that the procedures have been, or will be ineffective.

Reactor Coolant system (RCS) Leakage is defined in RCS Operational Leakage in the Technical Specifications Basis B 3.4.13.
This IC is included as an Unusual Event because it may be a precursor of more serious conditions and, as result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The 10 gpm value for the unidentified and pressure boundary leakage was selected as it is observable with normal control room indications. Lesser values must generally be determined through time-consuming surveillance tests (e.g., mass balances).
The EAL for identified leakage is set at a higher value due to the lesser significance of identified leakage in comparison to unidentified or pressure boundary leakage.

The loss of offsite communications ability is expected to be significantly more comprehensive than the condition addressed by 10 CFR 50.72.
This EAL is intended to be used only when extraordinary means are being utilized to make communications possible (relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being sent to offsite locations, etc.).

ENCLOSURE 4.2 SYSTEM MALFUNCTION BASIS:
SA 1-9 : ES, RPS, CRD breakers, basic information concerning primary system, fire alarms, seismic trigger, condenser cooling, HPSW and LPSW system status.
SA 14-16: Electrical load (Keowee emergency start, load shed, emergency power switching logic)
SA-18 : CRD shunt trip relay, ICS, PZR relief valve flow, hydrogen concentration in RB, chlorine gas leakage.
This IC and its associated EAL are intended to recognize the difficulty associated with monitoring changing plant conditions without the use of a major portion of the annunciation or indication equipment during a transient.
Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.
"Significant Transient" includes response to automatic or manually initiated functions such as scrams, runbacks involving greater than 25% thermal power change, ECCS injections, or thermal power oscillations of 10% or greater.
Significant indication is available from the OAC (operational aid computer) and from post accident monitoring (PAM). Loss of this data in conjunction with the loss of other indications would further impair the ability to monitor plant parameters.
Due to the limited number of safety systems in operation during cold shutdown, refueling and defueled modes, no IC is indicated during these modes of operation.
This Alert will be escalated to a Site Area Emergency if the operating crew cannot monitor the transient in progress.

Note: If monitor reading is sustained for the time period indicated in the EAL AND the required assessments (procedure calculations) cannot be completed within this period, declaration must be made on the valid Radiation monitor reading.
BASIS:
The term "Unplanned", as used in this context, includes any release for which a liquid waste release (LWR) or gaseous waste release (GWR) package was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm setpoints, etc.) on the applicable package.

ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT UNUSUAL EVENT Chapter 16, Selected Licensee Commitments, of the Oconee Nuclear Station FSAR provides guidance to ensure that the release of liquid or gaseous effluent does not exceed the limits established in 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table II and Appendix I, 10 CFR 50.
Unplanned releases in excess of two times the selected licensee commitments that continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and hence, a potential degradation in the level of safety. It is not intended that the release be averaged over 60 minutes. The event should be declared as soon as it is determined that the release duration has or will likely exceed 60 minutes.
- 1. Any Unplanned Release of Gaseous or Liquid Radioactivity to the Environment that Exceeds Two Times the SLC Limits for 60 Minutes or Longer Monitor indications are based on the methodology of the site Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Annual average meteorology (semi-elevated 1.672E-06 sec/m3) has been used. Radiation Protection will use HP/0/B/1009/015 to quantify a gaseous release.
Operations will use OP/0/A/1 104/068 and/or OP/0/A/1 104/072 to quantify a liquid release.
BASIS:
References to RIA-45 are intended to be related to unit specific RIA-45 only. 4RIA-45 provides a concentration value, not in cpm, that is used by unit 1, 2, 3 RIA-45.
Additionally, a radionuclide concentration value of 6.62E-2 uCi/ml cannot be obtained in the Radwaste Facility (RWF) ventilation system discharge without the input of post-accident concentrations of gaseous radionuclides. There are no post-accident inputs to the RWF other than planned batch transfers of liquids and resins that would be transferred in a controlled manner. All gaseous radionuclides would be entrained in the liquids and resins since there are no gas storage tanks in the RWF to accept a transfer of gaseous waste.
Unit 1,2,3 RIA-45 could detect a concentration of 6.62E-2 uCi/ml post-accident since a LOCA in the Auxiliary Building could provide the source activity.
D-26 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT UNUSUAL EVENT The Radwaste Facility is only used for waste water and resin processing. The type of waste processed, even if it contained entrained gasses from the reactor coolant system, cannot contain sufficient activity during normal operation to result in SLC limits being exceeded.
Liquid waste is not transferred to the Radwaste Facility during an event. The Radwaste Facility 4RIA-45 alarm set point is set at 5% of the station release limit. This set point is based on providing a set point that will not cause spurious alarms and will maintain total effluent releases below 100% of the station release limit. It is recognized that the Radwaste Facility is a less significant gaseous release pathway since the 4RIA-45 set point is set at one sixth of the 1, 2, or 3 RIA-45 set points. This EAL is only applicable to 1, 2, or 3 RIA-45 since the accident related source term that enters an intact Auxiliary Building will be released out of the unit vents.

EAL 1 indicates that the water level in the reactor refueling cavity is uncontrolled. If the area/process monitors reach the HIGH alarm setpoint, classification should be upgraded to an Alert.
All of the above events tend to have long lead times relative to potential for radiological release outside the site boundary, thus impact to public health and safety is very low.
In light of reactor cavity seal failure incidents, explicit coverage of these types of events via EALs 1 and 2 is appropriate given their potential for increased doses to plant staff.
Classification as an Unusual Event is warranted as a precursor to a more serious event.
EAL 3 applies to licensed dry storage of older irradiated spent fuel to address degradation of this spent fuel.

B. Unplanned/unexpected valid area radiation monitor readings exceed limits stated in Enclosure 4.9 of RP/O/A/1000/001.
BASIS:
Valid means that a radiation reading has been confirmed by the operators to be correct.
This IC addresses unplanned/unexpected increased radiation levels that impede necessary access to operating stations, or other areas containing equipment that must be operated manually, in order to maintain safe operation or perform a safe shutdown. It is this impaired ability to operate the plant that results in the actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
The Control Room, Central Alarm Station (CAS) and the Radwaste Control Room are areas that will need to be continuously occupied. No radiation monitors are in the CAS or the Radwaste Control Room.
Oconee has chosen to use a generic emergency action level of greater than or equal to 5000 mRad/hr for the Alert classification for areas in the plant that would need to be utilized for safe operation or safe shutdown of the unit. Enclosure 4.9 of RP/O/A/IO00/O01 provides the monitor number and the location of the area monitor.

Note: If actual Dose Assessment cannot be completed within 15 minutes, then the valid monitor reading should be used for emergency classification.
BASIS:
Valid means that a radiation monitor reading has been confirmed to be correct.
The calculation for RIA 46 (vent monitor) setpoint is based on whole body dose (100 mRem) using ODCM guidance: average annual meteorology (semi-elevated release 1.672E-6 sec/m3), vent flow rate of 65,000 cfm, and release duration of 15 minutes. No credit is taken for vent filtration.
The calculation for RIA 57/58 (in containment monitors) setpoints are based on the following: LOCA conditions which provide the more conservative reading, Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid (500 mRem), average annual meteorology (7.308 E-6 sec/m3), design basis leakage of 5.6E6 ml/hr, release duration of one hour, and time since unit trip. No credit is taken for filtration.
D-36 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT SITE AREA EMERGENCY Dose assessment team members use actual meteorology, release duration, and unit vent flow rate or actual leakage rate from containment. Therefore, the predetermined monitor readings would not be used if dose assessment team calculations are available from the TSC or EOF in a timely manner (within approximately 15 minutes).
The 100 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and the 500 mRem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) thyroid in this initiating condition is based on 10 CFR 20 annual average population exposure. The dose projection typically uses a 4-hour default for time of release. The Dose Assessment program will provide dose projection default times for specific release pathways. If the real time release time is known it will be used in the calculation. One order of magnitude is the gradient factor between the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency classes. These values are 10% of the EPA PAG values given in EPA-400-R-92-001.
The field monitoring survey results are based on actual hand-held instrument readings at the site boundary. It is assumed that the release will continue for more than one hour.
Adult thyroid is considered to be the limiting factor.

The calculation for RIA 57/58 (incontainment monitors) setpoints are based on the following: LOCA conditions which provide the more conservative reading, Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE-adult thyroid 500 mRem), average annual meteorology (7.308 E-6, sec/m3), design basis leakage of 5.6E6 ml/hr, release duration of one hour, and time since unit trip. No credit is taken for filtration.

ENCLOSURE 4.3 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT GENERAL EMERGENCY Calculations by the dose assessment team use actual meteorology, duration, and unit vent flow rate or actual leakage rate from containment. Therefore, the predetermined monitor readings would not be used if dose assessment calculations are available from the TSC or EOF in a timely manner (within approximately 15 minutes).
The 1000 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and the 5000 mRem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) adult thyroid in this initiating condition is based on 10 CFR 20 annual average population exposure. These values are EPA PAG guidelines as expressed in EPA-400-R-92-001. The Dose Assessment program will provide dose projection default time for specific release pathways. This default value will be utilized until a corrected release time is determined.
Field monitoring results will utilize a one hour period of time for calculating survey results. .8 of RP/0/A/1000/001 is shown on page 34 of this document.

EAL 1 indicates that the water level in the reactor refueling cavity is uncontrolled. If the area/process monitors reach the HIGH alarm setpoint, classification should be upgraded to an Alert.
All of the above events tend to have long lead times relative to potential for radiological release outside the site boundary, thus impact to public health and safety is very low.
In light of reactor cavity seal failure incidents, explicit coverage of these types of events via EALs 1 and 2 is appropriate given their potential for increased doses to plant staff.
Classification as an Unusual Event is warranted as a precursor to a more serious event.

The following conditions exist:
A. VALID reactor trip signal received or required without automatic scram AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
DSS has inserted Control Rods OR Manual reactor trip from the control room is successful and reactor power is less than 5% and decreasing.
BASIS:
This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to scram the reactor.
This condition is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient and thus the plant safety has been compromised, and design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded.
An Alert is indicated because conditions exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS. Reactor protection system setpoint being exceeded (rather than limiting safety system setpoint being exceeded) is specified here because failure of the automatic protection system is the issue. If the reactor protective system fails, the Diverse Scram Signal system (which was installed at Oconee since 10/7/91 as a result of Generic Letter 83-28) will drop control rod groups 5,6,7 into the core.
A manual scram is any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) at the reactor control console which causes control rods to be RAPIDLY inserted into the core and brings the reactor subcritical.

RCS temperature at the LPI pump suction OR Average of the 5 highest CETCs as indicated by ICCM display.
OR Visual observation BASIS:
LPI is the low pressure injection system LPSW is low pressure service water.
This IC is based on concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, "Loss of Decay Heat Removal."
number of phenomena such as pressurization, vortexing, RCS level differences when operating at a mid-loop condition, decay heat removal system design, and level instrumentation problems can lead to conditions where decay heat removal is lost and core uncovery can occur. NRC analyses show sequences that can cause core uncovery in 15 to 20 minutes and severe core damage within an hour after decay heat removal is lost.
Loss of the LPI system and/or the LPSW system causes an uncontrolled temperature rise in the reactor coolant system. Uncontrolled is understood to be "not as the result of operator action." Rising temperature of the reactor coolant system can be determined at the LPI pump suction, average of the 5 highest CETCs as indicated by ICCM display or through operator visual observation (steam or boiling) in the reactor building.

The HIGH alarm setpoint for RIA 6 (SFP bridge area monitor) is designed to make operators aware of increased readings above 10 CFR 20 limits. The HIGH alarm setpoint for RIA 41 (Spent Fuel Pool gaseous atmosphere) is set to alarm if 4 times the limits of 10 CFR 20 are exceeded based upon Xe-133. RIA 49 monitors the reactor building gas.

The following conditions exist:
A. VALID reactor trip signal received or required without automatic scram AND DSS has NOT inserted Control Rods AND Manual reactor trip from the control room was not successful in reducing reactor power to less than 5% and decreasing.
BASIS:
Automatic and manual scram are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console is required to scram the reactor.
This EAL is met if a reactor trip is required and the manual reactor trip function fails.
A failure of the manual reactor trip pushbutton to initiate a reactor trip is indication of a failure of the Reactor Protection System.
Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed. A Site Area Emergency is indicated because conditions exist that lead to imminent loss or potential loss of both fuel clad and RCS.
Although this IC may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation IC, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response.

The following conditions exist:
A. VALID reactor trip signal received or required WITHOUT automatic scram AND Manual reactor trip from the control room was not successful in reducing reactor power to less than 5% and decreasing.
AND Average of five highest CETCs > 1200 'F on the ICCM.
BASIS:
Automatic and manual scram are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console is required to scram the reactor. Under the conditions of the IC and its associated EALs, the efforts to bring the reactor subcritical have been unsuccessful and, as a result, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems were designed. The extreme challenge to the ability to cool the core is intended to mean that the core exit temperatures are at or approaching 1200 'F. (Note:
CETCs reading > 1200 OF is also a good indicator that the reactor vessel water level is below the top of the active fuel. Oconee does not have an indication for the reactor vessel water level below the top of the active fuel.)
The General Emergency declaration is intended to be anticipatory of the fission product barrier matrix declaration to permit maximum offsite intervention time.

BASIS:
Loss of all AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, Containment Heat Removal and the Ultimate Heat Sink.
Prolonged loss of all AC power will cause core uncovering and loss of containment integrity, thus this event can escalate to a General Emergency.
Escalation to General Emergency is via Enclosure 4.1 Fission Product Barrier Degradation or IC, "Prolonged Loss of All Offsite Power and Prolonged Loss of All Onsite AC Power."
Loss of offsite power (6900V) eliminates the use of power from Duke Power grid and also eliminates distribution of power from the unit generator. Loss of onsite AC (4160V) which includes both Keowee Hydro units, eliminates the use of HPI pumps, LPI pumps, reactor building spray pumps, low pressure service water pumps, CCW pumps, condensate booster pumps, hotwell pumps, heater drain pumps and motor driven emergency feedwater pumps.
Turbine driven emergency feedwater pumps are assumed to be available. It is assumed for this scenario that the Standby Shutdown Facility would be available for RCS and secondary inventory control utilizing the RC makeup pump and the auxiliary service water pump.

The likelihood of restoring at least one emergency bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in an upgrade decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions.
In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded. Although it may be difficult to predict when power can be restored, it is necessary to give the Emergency Coordinator a reasonable idea of how quickly (s)he may need to declare a General Emergency based on two major considerations:
- 1. Are there any present indications that core cooling is already degraded to the point that Loss or Potential Loss of Fission Product Barriers is IMMINENT?
- 2. If there are no present indications of such core cooling degradation, how likely is it that power can be restored in time to assure that a loss of two barriers with a potential loss of the third barrier can be prevented?
Thus, indication of continuing core cooling degradation must be based on Fission Product Barrier monitoring with particular emphasis on Emergency Coordinator judgment as it relates to IMMINENT Loss or Potential Loss of fission product barriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers.

A. Fire within the plant not extinguished within 15 minutes of control room notification or verification of a control room alarm.
B. Unanticipated explosion within the plant resulting in visible damage to permanent structures/equipment.
- Includes steam line break and FDW line break BASIS:
The purpose of this IC is to address the magnitude and extent of fires/explosions that may be potentially significant precursors to damage to safety systems. This excludes such items as fires within administration buildings, waste-basket fires, and other small fires of no safety consequence. This IC applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant vital areas containing safety equipment or other significant buildings or areas. Verification of the alarm in this context means those actions taken in the control room to determine that the control room alarm is not spurious. The intent of the 15-minute duration of extinguishing efforts is to size the fire and to discriminate against small fires that are readily extinguished.
Only those explosions of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment within the plant and Keowee Hydro should be considered. As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment, that potentially imparts significant energy to near-by structures and materials. A high energy line break (e.g., Main Steam Line or Main Feedwater Line, Heater Drain Line, etc.) would satisfy this EAL IF no additional damage is done to ECCS (safety related systems) equipment/components. No attempt is made in this EAL to assess the actual magnitude of the damage. The occurrence of the explosion with reports of evidence of damage (e.g.,
deformation, scorching) is sufficient for declaration. The Emergency Coordinator also needs to consider any security aspects of the explosion, if applicable.

- 2. CONFIRMED SECURITY CONDITION or THREAT which indicates a potential degradation in the level of Safety of the plant.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: ALL EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS:
A. A SECURITY CONDITION that does NOT involve a HOSTILE ACTION as reported by the security shift supervisor.
B. A credible site-specific security threat notification.
C. A validated notification from NRC providing information of an aircraft threat.
BASIS:
NOTE: Timely and accurate communication between Security Shift Supervisor and the control room is crucial in the implementation of effective Security EALs.
Security events which do not represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant are reported under 10 CFR 73.71 or in some cases under 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under 4.6.A.2, 4.6.S. 1, and 4.6.G. 1 A higher initial classification could be made based upon the nature and timing of the threat and potential consequences. The licensee shall consider upgrading the emergency response status and emergency classification in accordance with the Safeguards Contingency Plan and Emergency Plans.
EAL A Reference is made to site specific security shift supervision because these individuals are the designated personnel on-site qualified and trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on security event classification confirmation is closely controlled due to the strict secrecy controls placed on the plant Safeguards Contingency Plan.
This threshold is based on site specific security plans. Site specific Safeguards Contingency Plans are based on guidance provided by NEI 03-12.

ENCLOSURE 4.6 FIRE/EXPLOSIONS AND SECURITY EVENTS UNUSUAL EVENT EAL B This threshold is included to ensure that appropriate notifications for the security threat are made in a timely manner. This includes information of a credible threat. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Notification of an Unusual Event.
The determination of "credible" is made through use of information found in the site specific Safeguards Contingency Plan.
EAL C The intent of this EAL is to ensure that notifications for the aircraft threat are made in a timely manner and that OROs and plant personnel are at a state of heightened awareness regarding the credible threat. It is not the intent of this EAL to replace existing non-hostile related EALs involving aircraft.
This EAL is met when a plant receives information regarding an aircraft threat from NRC.
Validation is performed by calling the NRC or by other approved methods of authentication.
Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Unusual Event.
The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an airliner (airliner is meant to be a large aircraft with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant). The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.
Escalation to Alert emergency classification level would be via 4.6.A.2 would be appropriate if the threat involves an airliner within 30 minutes of the plant.

- 1. Fire or Explosion Affecting the Operability of Plant Safety Systems Required to Establish or Maintain Safe Shutdown.
OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: ALL EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL: Note: Only one train of a system needs to be affected or damaged in order to satisfy this condition.
The following conditions exist:
A. Fire or explosion AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Affected safety-related system parameter indications show degraded performance OR Plant personnel report visible damage to permanent structures or equipment required for safe shutdown of the unit.
BASIS:
With regard to explosions, only those explosions of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment required for safe operation of the plant should be considered. As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment, that potentially imparts significant energy to near-by structures and materials. A fire is combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flames is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
The key to classifying fires/explosions as an Alert is the damage as a result of the incident.
The fact that safety-related equipment required for safe shutdown of the unit has been affected or damaged as a result of the fire/explosion is the driving force for declaring the Alert. It is important to note that this EAL addresses a fire/explosion and not just the degradation of a safety system. The reference to damage of the systems is used to identify the magnitude of the fire/explosion and to discriminate against minor fires/explosions.

A A HOSTILE ACTION has occurred such that plant personnel are unable to operate equipment required to maintain safety functions.
B. A HOSTILE ACTION has caused failure of Spent Fuel Cooling Systems and IMMINENT fuel damage is likely for a freshly off-loaded reactor core in pool.
BASIS:
EAL A This EAL encompasses conditions under which a HOSTILE ACTION has resulted in a loss of physical control of VITAL AREAS (containing vital equipment or controls of vital equipment) required to maintain safety functions and control of that equipment cannot be transferred to and operated from another location.
Typically, these safety functions are reactivity control (ability to shut down the reactor and keep it shutdown) RCS inventory (ability to cool the core), and secondary heat removal (ability to maintain a heat sink).
Loss of physical control of the control room or remote shutdown capability alone may not prevent the ability to maintain safety functions per se. Design of the remote shutdown capability and the location of the transfer switches should be taken into account. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions.
If control of the plant equipment necessary to maintain safety functions can be transferred to another location, then the threshold is not met.

BASIS:
This initiating condition is discussed in the Oconee Probabilistic Risk Assessment report.
A flood caused by the rupture of the Jocassee Dam could flood the turbine building basement which could disable the main feedwater pumps and the turbine and motor driven emergency feedwater pumps. Also, rupture of some portions of the condenser intake piping could result in a flood in the turbine building basement. Water tight doors have been provided to prevent the water from seeping into the auxiliary building. This scenario assumes that the Standby Shutdown Facility (SSF) would be available to provide water to the steam generators.

The auxiliary shutdown panel will allow operators to use turbine bypass valves to maintain RCS temperature, one HPI pump for RCS inventory control, pressurizer heaters to maintain RCS pressure and control of the feedwater startup valves but not control over the feedwater pumps.
The standby shutdown facility can maintain hot shutdown by using auxiliary service water to the steam generators for primary heat removal and also to provide makeup to the reactor coolant system. The SSF is only used under extreme conditions since it may involve pumping lake water into the steam generators for heat removed purposes.
With the control room evacuated, additional support, monitoring and direction through the Technical Support Center and/or other Emergency Operations Facility is necessary.
Inability to establish plant control from outside the control room, as evidenced by the inability to maintain RCS or SG inventories, will escalate this event to a Site Area Emergency.

F. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS Provisions exist for prompt communications among principal response organizations, emergency personnel, and to the public.
F.1 Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Response Organization has been developed in such a manner to list primary and alternate personnel. Primary and backup means of communication have been established between the Site, local government agencies, and State response organizations (Figure F-1).
F.l.a Calls to activate State/County agency's emergency function are the responsibility of the Operations Shift Manager/Emergency Coordinator.
These calls are made:
- 1. By selective signaling phone system (where applicable).
- 2. The site telephone system to a 24-hour emergency number.
Some agencies have numbers for designated work schedules. Numbers can be found in the Emergency Telephone Directory.
A back-up radio system provides alternate communications with Oconee and Pickens Counties emergency response organizations. (Figure F-2)
F.l.b On a monthly basis, a communication check is made to state and local government warning points within the Emergency Planning Zone.
Communications during an emergency situation would be by selective signaling phone system, site telephone system/commercial phone service, or by radio (where appropriate).
F. 1.c The EOF organization has the responsibility to ask for federal response.
However, communication with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from the emergency response facilities, would be by use of the Emergency Telecommuication System (ETS) located in the Control Room areas, Technical Support Center, or the Emergency Operations Facility.

H.4 Activation and Staffing of the Emergency Response Organization Activation and staffing of the Emergency Response Organization will be in accordance with the emergency action levels and the procedures developed for determining emergency response.
Division/Section Directives describe the Emergency Response Organization.
Figures A-2A, A-2B depicts the procedure for recall of the Emergency Organization.
H.5 Monitoring Systems On Site - If an emergency situation occurs at the plant, plant personnel continually monitor plant parameters with regard to limits and surveillance requirements specified in the appropriate Technical Specifications, Operating Procedures and Emergency Procedures. These parameters will affect the emergency classification and therefore affect decisions implementing specific emergency measures. In addition to monitoring plant parameters, radiological surveys may be used to verify, augment and/or delineate the assessment of the emergency. (Figure H-20).
H-4 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT H.5.a Natural Phenomena Monitors Natural phenomena instrumentation to monitor wind speed and direction, temperature and vertical temperature gradient (Figure H-4); and seismic activity (Figure H-18).
H.5.b Radiological Monitors (H-5)
Area Radiation Monitoring System The area radiation monitoring system detectors are located throughout the plant in locations where significant radiation levels may exist, which may change with time and with the operation being performed. They are designed primarily for the protection of personnel performing such operations as routine coolant sampling, refueling, reactor building entry, radioactive waste disposal operations and for certain other operating and maintenance work. The system has sufficient range and flexibility to permit readout during routine operations and during any transient or emergency conditions that may exist. The equipment is self checking for proper operation and alarms both in the local area and in the respective control room. Where necessary or desirable, readout is also provided locally.
Process Radiation Monitoring System Radiation monitoring of process systems provides early warning of equipment, component, or system malfunctions or potential radiological hazards. The Process Radiation Monitoring System includes alarms, indications, and recording of data in the control rooms. In some cases automatic action is taken upon an alarm condition; in others the alarm serves as a warning to the operator so that manual corrective action can be taken.
Radioactive liquid and gaseous waste effluent are monitored and coordinated by Operations and controlled to assure that radioactivity released does not exceed 10 CFR 20 limits for the plant as a whole.
H-5 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Personnel Monitoring System Personnel monitoring equipment consisting of film badges and/or their equivalent (thermo-luminescent dosimeters, TLD's), are assigned by the Radiation Protection Section and worn by all personnel at Oconee whose job involves significant levels of radiation exposure as defined in 10 CFR 20. In addition, pocket chambers, electronic dosimeters, self-reading dosimeters, pocket high radiation alarms, wrist badges, and/or finger tabs are readily available for use by those persons who ordinarily work in the Controlled Area or whose job requires frequent access to this area.
Portable Monitors - sufficient numbers are available for use in assessing radiological conditions. (Figure H-6).
Sampling Equipment - sufficient numbers are available for use in assessing radiological conditions. (Figure H-7).
H.5.c Process Monitors - Non-radiological Monitoring Non-radiological monitoring capabilities include reactor coolant system pressure, temperatures, flows, and water level for detection of inadequate core cooling. Containment pressure, temperature, liquid levels, flow rates, and status of equipment components are monitored to assess containment integrity.
H.5.d Fire and Combustion products detectors - (Figure H-8).
H.6 Offsite Monitoring and Analysis for Emergency Response H.6.a Natural-Phenomena Monitors Facilities and equipment include two onsite meteorological towers. Also, an agreement has been established with the Greenville-Spartanburg National Weather service to provide meteorological information should our system become inoperable.
H.6.b Radiological monitors for emergency environmental monitoring are provided in emergency kits. The established environmental monitoring network and sampling equipment in the surrounding area are also available to provide emergency assessment data.
The existing radiological monitoring program will provide base line information as well as in-place monitoring for early assessment data.
(Figure A) (H-9 and H-10).
H-6 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Normal environmental monitoring equipment includes radioiodine and particulate continuous air samplers and thermo-luminescent dosimeters, located and collected according to pre-established criteria. Environmental monitoring will be expanded as necessary during an emergency situation in accordance with offsite monitoring procedures.
H.6.c Laboratory Facilities - Include mobile emergency monitoring capabilities available through the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, Bureau of Solid and Hazardous Waste Management and the DOE Radiological Assistance Team. In addition, Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) has emergency vehicles for mobile assessment purposes. Fixed facilities are available for gross counting and spectral analysis in the ONS counting laboratory (Figure H- 11) and at the Duke Energy Environmental Laboratory near the McGuire Nuclear Station, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Should the plant lose the capability to use the count room onsite, samples can be counted at the backup count room or in one of the mobile assessment field monitoring vans. Portable equipment would be relocated to this area.
(Figure H-3)
H.7 Offsite radiological monitoring equipment is located in the storage area outside the protected area. Emergency kits are available for off-site monitoring teams who would be monitoring for radiation offsite. (Figure H-12).
H.8 Meteorological Instrumentation A primary and one auxiliary meteorological tower provides the basic parameters on display in the Control Room. (Figure H-4 shows the meteorological equipment.)
Meteorological measurement equipment meets the criteria of the milestones addressed in Appendix 2 of NUREG 0654 and Proposed Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.23.
An operable dose calculation methodology is in use in the Control Room, Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility.
The dose assessment methodology for the Oconee Nuclear Station consists of calculations for three separate source terms. The first source term is based on the activity that has been or is actually being released through the unit vent; the second source term is based on a potential release using the reactor building dose rate and design basis assumptions for containment leakage; the third source term is based on the activity that has been or is actually being released through the steam relief valves.
H-7 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
H. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT The release rate is calculated for each source term using relative atmospheric dispersion factors calculated by the meteorological model and either actual sample data or radiation monitor readings. These release rates are then added together and used to calculate the dose rate or a projected dose over the duration of the release or over 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> if release duration is unknown at 1, 2, 5 and 10 miles downwind from the plant.
These dose assessment methods provide the capability to calculate the dose from actual or potential releases following an accident. A fifty-year committed dose equivalent (CDE) to the thyroid and a total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) from exposure to a semi-infinite cloud and a four-day ground shine as applicable are determined. The dose conversion factors are derived from EPA-400. Near real time radiation monitor readings, sample data, and meteorological data are combined to provide timely, realistic dose calculations.
This model will provide the capability to assess and monitor actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition.
Direct telephone access to the person responsible for making offsite dose calculations is available to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the use of the NRC Health Physics Network line. The physical location of this person is in the Emergency Operations Facility.
H.9 Operational Support Center - Emergency Supplies The Operational Support Center will have the same shielding, and ventilation as the Control Room. Protective clothing and breathing equipment are available to the personnel assembled in these areas. (See Figures H-13, H-14, H-17)
H. 10 Inspection and Inventory of Emergency Equipment and Supplies All emergency equipment designated by the Oconee Nuclear Station Emergency Plan shall be inventoried and inspected on a quarterly basis or in agreement with established procedures. Supplies will be inventoried/replaced after each drill and/or exercise or actual emergency where supplies might have been used.
Calibration of any/all emergency equipment shall be at the intervals recommended by the supplier of the equipment.

I. Accident Assessment To assure the adequacy of methods, systems and equtipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition.
I.1 Emergency Action Level Procedures Implementing procedures to the Oconee Nuclear Station Emergency Plan have been developed. These procedures have been developed by many sections of the station. The Oconee Nuclear Station Implementing Procedures make up Volumes B and C of the station emergency plan. The Emergency Classification procedure (RP/0/A/1000/001) identifies plant parameters that can be used to determine emergency situations that require activation of the station emergency plan. NUMARC/NESP-007 (Rev. 2) which was approved by the NRC in Rev. 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.101 and subsequent guidance provided in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, the NEI guidance as endorsed in RIS 2006-12 and to support implementation of NEI 03-12 has been used as guidance. See BASIS document Section D.
1.2 Onsite Capability and Resources to Provide Initial Values and Continuing Assessment Post Accident Sampling -
The NRC issued Amendments No. 346 (Renewed License No. DPR-38), No.
348 (Renewed License No. DPR-47), and No. 347 (Renewed License No.
DPR-55) on 07/12/05. These amendments, effective 01/08/06, delete Technical Specification Section 5.5.4, Post Accident Sampling for Oconee Nuclear Site Units 1, 2, and 3 and thereby eliminate the requirements to have and maintain Post Accident Sampling Systems - PASS (PALS/PAGS).
Consistent with the requirements of the NRC safety evaluation, contingency plans for obtaining samples have been developed.
Procedures have been developed for taking and analyzing post accident reactor coolant samples using either the normal sample points or the existing PALS sample panels. Containment atmosphere samples are no longer required; however, procedures are in place for surveying the containment building wall as well as sampling the environment and using these values to develop off site dose projections and provide appropriate protective action recommendations for the public.
Radiation and effluent monitors Radiation and effluent monitors are indexed in Figure H-5. The chart shows location, range, radiation detected.
I-1 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
Containment High Range Radiation Monitor Duke Energy has designed a system for monitoring containment high range radiation. 1, 2, 3 RIA-57 and 58 are the post-accident high range containment monitors. RIA-57 is located in a penetration in the East Penetration Room.
RIA-58 is located in a penetration in the West Penetration Room. The monitors are coaxial ion chambers with a range of 1 to 10E8 Rad/hr which corresponds to an activity of 1.11E0 pCi/ml to 1.11E8 [tCi/ml at the time of trip/incident.
In- Plant Iodine Instrumentation The Oconee Nuclear Station has developed Procedure HP/0/B/1009/009 for quantifying high level gaseous radioactivity releases during accident conditions. The purpose of the procedure is to determine quantitative release of radioiodines and particulates for dose calculation and assessment.
Failed Fuel Determination (1) The attached Figures I-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 provide the technical basis for estimating failed fuel for three conditions: non-overheating, fuel overheating without fuel melt, and overheating with fuel melt, respectively.
(2) The NON-OVERHEATING CONDITION METHODOLOGY for assessing failed fuel is based on steady-state iodine radionuclides in the reactor coolant system. This methodology is judged to provide a significant improvement in accuracy over previous NON-OVERHEATING CONDITION methods employing a single escape coefficient. The reason being the new methods explicitly models the production, decay, and release of radionuclides to the coolant as a function of measured iodine ratio.
The methods CAN ONLY PROVIDE THE best estimate analysis and are not intended for making conservative or licensing related calculations. These methods are benchmarked to long term steady-state iodine behavior, typically reached near mid to end of cycle. Therefore, leaker estimates (percent failed fuel) will vary substantially if based on other than steady-state conditions.
Radioisotope inventories predicted by LOR2 Computer Program are used to compare release isotope quantities to expected core inventories for the fuel overheating without fuel melt and overheating with fuel melt conditions. In order to determine a conservative core inventory for Oconee, three LOR2 computer runs were made. All three runs assumed an enrichment of 3.3%.
1-2 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
Each run represents a different bum-up region of the core. (i.e., one run assumes fuel used for 3 cycles, another run assumes fuel used for 2 cycles and the last run assumes fuel used for 1 cycle.) Each region assumed 59 assemblies. Figure 1-5, page 1 of 2, gives activity level for one fuel assembly for each region. Figure 1-5, page 2 of 2, gives total activity in the core and compares these values to UFSAR values. Most of the core values are close to UFSAR values except for XE-133 and XE-135. It is possible that this difference is the result of the higher enrichment value used in the LOR2 runs.
(3) Figures 1-6 and 1-7 provide the technical basis for an estimate of failed fuel from readings from area monitors (without fuel melt and with fuel melt, respectively).
(4) Figure 1-8 provides the technical basis for an estimate of failed fuel from readings of containment building hydrogen analyzers.
(5) Figure 1-9 provides calculations for decay correction in the event it is not available from analytical instrumentation.
1.3 Method for Determining Release Source Term I.3.a Source Term of Releases of Radioactive Material within Plant Systems Operations (Control Room Personnel) will use Enclosure 4.8 & 4.9 of RP/O/A/1000/001 to determine if radiation monitor readings will require classification. This enclosure is a simplified predetermined dose calculation for vent and in-containment radiation monitors.
Operations can also get offsite dose projections from on-shift Radiation Protection technicians using procedure AD-EP-ALL-0202.
AD-EP-ALL-0202 uses release paths of unit vents and the main steam relief valves. Assumptions for the calculations are based on the following:
- 1. Annual average meteorology for ground-level release points (7.308 E-6 sec/m 3) which is used for the reactor building and is in the ODCM. Annual average meteorology for semi-elevated release points 1.672E-6 sec/mi3 is used for the vent and is also in the ODCM.
- 2. Design basis leakage (5.6 E6 ml/hr) and/or daily average vent flow rate of 65,000 cfm.
- 3. One hour release duration 1-3 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
- 4. Calculations for reactor building monitor readings are based on CDE because thyroid dose is more limiting for this pathway.
Calculations for vent monitor readings are based on whole body dose because whole body dose is more limiting for this pathway.
- 5. Offsite Protective Actions Guides are 1 rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent and 5 rem Committed Dose Equivalent (thyroid) for a General Emergency. Site Area Emergency levels are one-tenth the General Emergency PAGs.
- 6. LOCA conditions are limiting for calculating in-containment high range monitors readings for site area and general emergency conditions.
- 7. Core melt conditions are limiting for calculating vent monitor radiation monitor readings for site area and general emergency conditions.
1.3.b Magnitude of the Release of Radioactive Materials Procedure AD-EP-ALL-0202 determines the magnitude of the release of radioactive materials based on plant system parameters and effluent monitors (vent release).
1.4 Dose Calculation Methodology AD-EP-ALL-0202 establishes the relationship between effluent monitor readings or reactor building dose rate readings and onsite/offsite doses for various meteorological conditions.
AD-EP-ALL-0202 provides guidance for on shift personnel to perform initial dose assessment using a computer based tool.
1.5 Meteorological Information Availability Meteorological information will be available to the Charlotte Emergency Operations Facility, the Technical Support Center, and the Control Room through the automated plant data system. Meteorological data averaged over a period of 15 minutes, will be available to the NRC through the ENS phone, by direct telephone communications with the individual responsible for making offsite dose assessments at the Emergency Operations Facility or through the NRC Emergency Response Data System.
Meteorological information will also be given to both County Emergency Operations Centers, and the State of South Carolina, during follow-up messages.
1-4 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
1.6 Release Rates/Projected Doses for Offscale Instrumentation Situations AD-EP-ALL-0202 is the procedure that can be used to make offsite dose projections and/or protective action recommendations should instrumentation used for assessment indicate offscale or are inoperable.
1.7 Offsite Field Monitoring-Emergency Planning Zone 1.8 Field teams have been organized by the Oconee Nuclear Station under the direction of the Field Monitoring Coordinator located in the Emergency Operations Facility. These teams are comprised of a RP Technician and a Driver. Procedures SH/0/B/2005/002 and SH/0/B/2005/003 describe predetermined sampling locations, sampling and monitoring equipment to be used, location of TLD's and air samplers and directions for taking Potassium Iodide Tablets.
1.9 Detect and Measure Radioiodine Concentration in the EPZ Oconee Nuclear Station shall use appropriate instrumentation to measure radioactivity in counts per minute (CPM) and dose rates in mRad/hr. Air samples (taken with a Portable Air Sampler equipped with appropriate cartridge) shall be measured by a portable iodine analysis system.
Interference from the presence of noble gas and background radiation shall not decrease the minimum detectable activity of 1.0 E-7 uCi/cc (1-131) under field conditions.
Samples taken by the offsite monitoring teams will be evaluated further by one of the available laboratory facilities described in H.6.C of this Plan as necessary.
1.10 Relationship Between Contamination Levels and Integrated Dose/Dose Rates Duke Energy Company has developed a means for relating the various measured parameters (e.g. contamination levels, air and water) and gross radioactivity levels.
1.11 Plume Tracking The states of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia have arrangements to locate and track an airborne plume of radioactive materials. Duke Energy Company will have monitoring teams in the field, fixed TLD sites, and the capability for airborne monitoring to assist in plume tracking.

FIGURE I-1 DUKE ENERGY COMPANY OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION ACCIDENT ASSUMPTIONS DBA assumes draft NUREG 1465 release of fission products to the containment atmosphere:
(1) 100% of all core noble gas activity.
(2) 40% of all core iodine activity.
(3) Various quantities of particulate activity.
Loss of reactor coolant assumes the release of one reactor coolant volume with noble gas and iodine activity associated with operation at 100% power with 1% fuel failure before the release.
Gap activity release assumes that there is cladding failure sufficient to release all fission products in the gas gap of the fuel pins to the containment atmosphere. Assumed is loss of 5% of all core noble gas activity, 5% of all core iodine activity, and 5% of cesium particulate activity to the containment atmosphere.
The maximum allowable containment leakage rate following the accident is expressed in percent of the containment air weight per day.
Regulatory Guide 1.4 requires that we assume the design leak rate (Technical Specifications 5.5.2) the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and half the design leak rate for the rest of the accident.
For Oconee these values are:
(a) 0.25% /day for 0-24 hours (b) 0.125%/day for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> - 30 days The 0.25%/day is the Tech. Spec. leak rate at the peak calculated containment internal pressure, 59 psig, for the design basis LOCA.
1-6 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
Assumptions used in determining the contribution to the total dose from ECCS leakage are:
(a) 7520 cc/hr leakage from the pump seals and valves of the ECCS in the auxiliary building.
(b) An iodine partition factor of 0.1 is used to determine the amount of iodine released to the auxiliary building atmosphere.
(c) All activity released to the auxiliary building is released to the atmosphere with no filtering.
Most Oconee penetrations through the containment are located in the penetration room.
This room has its own ventilation system which draws a negative pressure on the room. The air drawn from the penetration room passes through charcoal filters and is exhausted through the unit vent. Bypass leakage is the fraction of the total containment that bypasses the penetration room and escapes to the atmosphere unfiltered. Some examples of potential bypass leakage paths are:
(1) Leakage around the equipment hatch seals.
(2) Leakage through isolation valves that do not seal properly.
(3) Leakage through microscopic holes or cracks in the containment wall.
At Oconee the containment bypass leakage is 50% of the total containment leakage.
Tech. Spec. 5.5.2 requires that during the containment leak rate test, if the containment leakage is greater that 50% of the design leakage rate, local leak rate tests must be performed. These tests must verify that any leakage greater than 50% of the design leakage is going into the penetration room. This only verifies that the maximum leakage bypassing the penetration room is 50% of the containment leakage. It does not give the actual bypass leakage.
Dose contributions are as follows:
(a) Bypass leakage contributes approximately 84% of the total thyroid dose.
(b) ECCS leakage contributes approximately 1% of the total thyroid dose.
(c) Penetration room exhaust contributes approximately 15% of the total thyroid dose.
1-7 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
FIGURE 1-2 TECHNICAL BASIS FOR ESTIMATION OF FAILED FUEL NON-OVERHEATING CONDITION A. Assumptions
- 2. All Iodine isotopes in the RCS pass through a 90% efficient demineralizer at the rate of one coolant volume per day.
- 4. The noble gases are equally mixed throughout the RCS and consideration is not given to noble gases that may be in the letdown storage tank or pressurizer.
- 5. The reactor is operating at 100% power - 2568 MWT or at any steady-state power level with Steps 1 through 4 applicable.
B. Two Region Model Theory The two region model assumes a single escape coefficient for the release from the fuel directly into the coolant through the defect site. The model first solves for the dynamic iodine concentrations in the fuel pellet, then through the use of an escape coefficient, solves for the steady-state release into the coolant. Once into the coolant, the methodology also calculates the effects of radioactive decay and coolant purification on the measured iodine concentrations.
The following is a delineation of the dynamic solution of the above phenomena, including a simplification for steady-state conditions where appropriate.

(A+v)(2+K) X III. Escape Rate Methodology This section describes the model and supporting technical basis for an escape rate coefficient model dependent on measured iodine ratio. The need for such a model is illustrated by the following two examples.
At one extreme, assume a leaker with a tight radial through wall capillary type crack, which in effect bottles up the fission products and allows very little leakage to the coolant. At the other extreme, assume a pin with a large open hydride blister, exposing the surrounding fuel directly to the coolant. Obviously, both represent only one defect, however, the latter case would release much more fission products to the coolant than the first case.
Therefore, the need exists to differentiate between various defect conditions. To do this, the concept of holdup time, and its affect on relative radioactive decay is used. The tight defect, due to the long holdup time, would shift the iodine ratio (131/133) towards the high end (>1) due to the faster 133 decay (133 half life - 20.8 hrs, 131 half life - 8.05 days). For little or no holdup times, the existing ratio would be around 0.1. This is consistent with observations during failure generation events in which the observed iodine ratio in the coolant approaches two or greater. Calculations for an intact rod (infinite holdup time) yield ratios in excess of 10 or 15.
This rational forms the basis for an iodine ratio dependent escape coefficient model. It certainly is not perfect in that a combination of defects could easily exist at any one time, but it does give an approximation as to the average condition.
Towards this end, an empirical model was developed based on a Combustion Engineering Data Base. The data consists of several operating cycles in which the coolant activities and specific leaking rods were well characterized. The model is empirical., in that the necessary escape coefficients were back calculated and plotted as a function of corrected iodine ratio. However, the ratio needs to be corrected for the decay and purification effects occurring in the primary coolant, so that a consistent and independent model (independent of letdown flow, resin bed efficiency, etc.) can be developed.
The correct or "normalized" iodine ratio is determined as follows:
The equilibrium coolant activity ratio, as determined by Equation 6, is shown here as follows:
5y131 v131 2131 (2133+v133) (2133+ K) (7)
AR = 5y133 W133 2133 (2133+v131) (2131+K) 1-12 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014

Equation 8 can be re-written as:
R' y133 v131 a y131 R' 133 1 -1 2*131 (10) a y131 aA 133 Equation 10 gives a relationship between the iodine- 131 escape rate and the normalized iodine ratio. The constant "a", which describes the relationship between the iodine-131 and iodine-133 escape rates, was derived through an analysis of 3 plant cycles in which the number of leaking rods was determined at the end of each cycle. Parametric cases were run to determine, given the known number of leaking rods, the iodine-131 and iodine-133 escape rates required 1-13 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
to predict the equilibrium activity levels of these isotopes for the 3 plant cycles. All data were taken at 100% power and at equilibrium conditions.
The escape rate (ration 1131 / U133 = a) was assumed to be function of the normalized iodine ratio. A curve was fit to the data resulting in:
V 131 RI V)133 .437260+.021089R'-.013293R' (
Power Dependence of Escape Rate The kinetics of fission product migration through the fuel pellet into the rod plenum/gap is governed primarily by temperature. Since temperature is primarily a function of power, a power dependent correction factor was developed based on total rod radial power.
The power dependence of escape rate was determined by evaluating the equilibrium coolant iodine- 131 activity as a function of core power level. These data were taken from periods of operation at varying power levels for 8 plant-cycles.
A power function was assumed to represent each individual data set:
A131 = Cpn where:
A1 3 1 is the equilibrium level of iodine 131 (piCi/ml)
C and n are fitting constants, and P is the core power level (%)
C varies with the plant conditions (purification flow rate, etc.) and numbers of leaking rods but, in theory, n should be constant if the data are consistent. Least-squares analyses were performed for each of the sets of data. The values of n determined from this analysis ranged from 1.8 to 5.4. A value of n = 3.6 was selected as a reasonable representation of the data.
1-14 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
From Equation 6, the equilibrium coolant activity level is directly proportional to power (fission rate) and the escape rate. Therefore, the escape rate must be proportional to power to the (n-1), or 2.6 power. Escape rates are therefore calculated with the following equation:
= io (P/Po) 2.6 or u = io (Pr/Po) 2.6 (12) where:
uo is the escape rate (sec -) determined at power P0 (%) (As derived from Equation #10); and P is, optionally, the core power level (%), or Pr, the product of core power level and rod or batch peaking factor (relative to core).
If a specific rod or batch peaking factor is suspected, Pr should be used since it can make an appreciable difference.

FIGURE 1-4 TECHNICAL BASIS FOR ESTIMATION OF FAILED FUEL OVERHEATING WITH FUEL MELT A. THEORY In a fuel melt condition, all five release mechanisms discussed in Figure 1-3 are involved. As fuel melts, up to 99% of the halogens and noble gases will be released. There will also be a significant release of barium and praseodymium. As in Case 1I, a linear relationship between failed fuel and isotope activity will be assumed. (See Figures I-4b and I-4c).
The major difference between fuel overheating without fuel melt and overheating with fuel melt is the percent of fission product inventory released from the fuel. The methodology for correcting isotopic decay and reactor power remains the same. The methodology for using hydrogen concentration to estimate core damage remains the same. The main changes will be in the radiochemistry method and area monitor method.

FIGURE 1-6 TECHNICAL BASIS FOR ESTIMATION OF FAILED FUEL AREA MONITORS FOR OVERHEAT WITHOUT FUEL MELT Generally, a radiochemistry sample will give a more accurate indication of core damage than area monitors in the containment building. However, radiochemistry samples take a long time to evaluate, whereas area monitors give results immediately. This section will attempt to make some simplifying assumptions and give a rough estimate of failed fuel versus dose rate in containment. It will be assumed that only noble gases are in the containment atmosphere.*
The noble gases are also assumed to be equally distributed throughout the containment building.

Figure I-6a lists the average gamma energy level for the most prominent noble gas isotopes.
Figure I-6b shows the methodology for calculating total noble gas dose rate. Figure I-6c is a plot of dose rate from Figure I-6b as the noble gases decay.
An approximation of failed fuel can be determined by the equation:
SXm Fm- . x 100 (Y) X(t)
Where: Xm = Area monitor reading in the containment (R/HR) x (t) = Dose rate from Figure I-6c (R/HR) at the appropriate time after shutdown Y = Power correction factor Where Y = Average PowerforPrior30 days Rated powerlevel Fm = Fuel failure percent according to area monitors 1-26 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
It should be noted that this equation assumes a "PUFF" release of noble gases. If a small break LOCA occurs then the failed fuel estimate of m will be low. One possible method for using this equation during a small break LOCA is to wait until the monitor dose rate peaks and starts to decline. Figure 1-9 is used to account for decay if required.
- It is understood that more isotopes than noble gases are released to the containment.
However, modeling which isotopes and their activity is difficult. Therefore, only noble gases are considered. This will give a conservative estimate of failed fuel.

FIGURE 1-8 TECHNICAL BASIS FOR ESTIMATION OF FAILED FUEL HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION IN THE CONTAINMENT BUILDING At approximately 1600'F zirconium reacts with water to produce hydrogen. The greater the temperature the faster the reaction rate. During the zirconium - water reaction heat is also released which raises the cladding temperature which increases the reaction rate. If the hydrogen concentration is constant or increasing slightly without recombiners on, then the cladding temperature is probably around 1600'F or less. If hydrogen concentration is increasing rapidly (with or without recombiners) then the clad temperature is above 1600'F. A rough estimate of core damage can be made, based on hydrogen concentration in the containment if the following assumptions are made.

The equation for the zirconium - water reaction is Zr + 2H 2 0 -- Zr02 + 2H 2 or Two moles of hydrogen in the containment building are produced by the reaction of one mole of zirconium in the core.

FIGURE 1-9 TECHNICAL BASIS FOR ESTIMATION OF FAILED FUEL ISOTOPE DECAY CORRECTION The specific activity of a sample is decay adjusted to time of reactor shutdown using the following equation.
Specific activity (meaured)
Specific activity at shutdown = -2 t e I Where:
X Radioactive decay constant, 1/sec t = Time period from reactor shutdown to time of sample analysis, sec.
Since this correction may also be performed by some analytical equipment, care must be taken to avoid duplicate correction. Also, considerations must be given to account for precursor effect during the decay of the nuclide. For this methodology, only the parent-daughter relationship associated with the methodology. The decay scheme of the parent-daughter relationship (Figure I-9a) is described by the following equation.
XB -XA Where:
Activity (Ci) or specific activity (ýiCi/gm or viCi/cc) of the parent at QA shutdown QB = Activity (Ci) or specific activity (liCi/gm or pCi/cc) of the daughter at shutdown QB
= Activity (Ci) or specific activity (IiCi/gm or ýiCi/cc) of the daughter at time of sample AA = Decay constant of the parent, sec -I AB = Decay constant of the daughter, sec-1 t = Time period from reactor shutdown to time of sample analysis, sec.
Since the activity of the daughter at sample time is due to the decay of the parent and the decay of the daughter initially released at shutdown, an estimation of the fraction of the measured activity at sample time due to only the decay of daughter is required.
1-35 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
To use the above equation to determine the fraction, an assumption is made that the fraction of source inventory released of the parent and the daughter at time of shutdown are equal (for the nuclides used here within a factor of 2). The following steps should be followed to calculate the fraction of the measured activity due to the decay of the daughter that was released and then to calculate the activity of the daughter released at shutdown.
- 1. Calculate the hypothetical daughter concentration (QB) at the time of the sample analysis assuming 100 percent release of the parent and daughter source inventory.
QB -= - Q0 (e'B -e gB')QBe XB oAA Where:
QAA 100% source inventory (Ci) of parent, Table 6 Q- = 100% source inventory (ci) of daughter, Table 6 Q9 (t) - Hypothetical daughter activity (Ci) at sample time K = If parent has 2 daughters, K is the branching factor, Table 6 sec-1 AA = Parent decay constant, AB Daughter decay constant, sec t= Time period from reactor shutdown to time of sample analysis, sec.
- 2. Determine the contribution of only the decay of the initial inventory of the daughter to the hypothetical daughter activity at sample time.
t Fr= QBe B QB (t)
- 3. Calculate the amount of the measured sample specific activity associated with the decay of the daughter that was released.

J. PROTECTIVE RESPONSE To assure that a range of protective actions is available for the plume exposure pathway for emergency workers and the public. Guidelines for protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway appropriate to the locale have been developed.
To protect onsite personnel during hostile action and ensure the continued ability to safely shutdown the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan a range of protective actions are in place.
J. 1 Accountability The Oconee Nuclear Site has a Site Assembly Procedure that gives specific instructions to follow during a site assembly. Also, each division/section has specific directives that provide guidance for their personnel. (Site Assembly locations, Figure J-5)
Methods to notify and alert onsite personnel (essential and non-essential) during hostile action activities are described in AP/O/A/1700/045, "Site Security Threats". RP/O/A/1000/010 "Procedure for Emergency Evacuation/Relocation of Site Personnel". RP/O/A/1000/009, "Procedure for Site Assembly".
J. 2 Relocation Assembly Areas and Evacuation Routes Should it be determined that non-essential personnel would need to be relocated onsite or evacuated from the site, procedures are in place to handle this process. Agreements have been reached with local authorities for the use of the Oconee and Pickens school facilities for evacuation of personnel.
(Appendix 5)
Site directives and procedures establish onsite relocation areas as well as evacuation routes (Figure J-2) to suitable offsite locations.
J. 3 Site Evacuation Procedures - Personnel The site evacuation procedure establishes guidelines for evacuation from the station site. This procedure outlines the radiological exposure limits. All station personnel inside the protected area will be monitored before being evacuated from the station. Records will be kept of the individual's exposure/contamination level prior to evacuation. All personnel, so designated, will then be evacuated to pre-designated areas for thorough personnel monitoring and decontamination.
J-1 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
Records will be kept for the station and personnel files. All personnel will be required to sign a copy of the monitor readings that will be recorded in personnel files. (Figures J-3, J-4)
During hostile threat conditions relocation of personnel away from the hazard areas are performed in accordance with AP/O/A/1700/045, "Site Security Threats". RP/O/A/1000/O10, "Procedure for Emergency Evacuation/Relocation of Site Personnel". RP/0/A/1000/009, "Procedure for Site Assembly".
J. 4 Site Evacuation Procedures-Decontamination/Non Essential/Essential Personnel Criteria Personnel who have been determined to be non-essential may be evacuated from the plant site in the event of a Site Area Emergency Classification.
However, non-essential personnel are always evacuated from the site during a General Emergency Classification. Provisions are made for the decontamination of vehicles and personnel at an offsite location if the situation should warrant that to be necessary.
EPZ - Population Alerting and Notification See Oconee County FNF Plans.
See Pickens County FNF Plans.
See State of South Carolina FNF Plans, Site Specific.
See Appendix 3.
J.5 Site Evacuation Procedures-Personnel Accountability J.6 Within thirty minutes of a Site Assembly, all persons at the Oconee Nuclear Station shall be accounted for and any person(s) determined to be missing from their control station, will be identified by name. To assist in the location of missing person(s), the Emergency Coordinator will appoint a Search and Rescue Team. Search procedures will be coordinated through the Operational Support Center.
After all non-essential personnel have been evacuated from the site, logsheets will be kept by Radiation Protection personnel in the Operational Support Center of all persons onsite together with their Radiation Protection records to include the following:
- a. Individual respiratory protection
- b. Protective clothing
- c. Use of Radioprotective drugs During hostile threat conditions personnel accountability is performed in accordance with AP/O/A/1700/045, "Site Security Threats" and RP/0/A/1000/009, "Procedure for Site Assembly".
J-2 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
J. 7 Protective Actions Recommendations The Emergency Coordinator (Operations Shift Manager or Station Manager) or the EOF Director (depending on the facility activation) will be responsible for contacting the State and/or local governments to give prompt notification for implementing protective measures within the plume exposure pathway, and beyond it if necessary. Procedure RP/O/A/1000/024, "Protective Action Recommendations" and SR/O/A/2000/003, "Activation of the Emergency Operations Facility" has been written to provide specific guidance for issuing protective action recommendations under various plant conditions to the Emergency Coordinator in the TSC and the EOF Director in the EOF Figure (J-1) respectively. Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) provided to offsite officials take into account a range of protective actions including sheltering and evacuation. Discussions conducted with offsite officials determined that sheltering would be recommended during a hostile action based event in which no release of radioactive materials has occurred or is expected. The decision to use sheltering as an alternative to evacuation for impediments and special populations is one that will be made by offsite officials. If dose projections show that PAGs have been exceeded at 10 miles, the dose assessment code and in-field measurements, when available, shall be used to calculate doses at various distances down wind to determine how far from the site PAG levels are exceeded. The Radiological Assessment Manager shall forward the results to the EOF Director who will communicate this information to the offsite authorities.
Figure J-1A (Protective Action Guides) is adopted from EPA 400 and guidance in state plans on use of KI and considers protective action based on projected avoided dose.
Per Appendix 2, initial protective actions are predetermined for Control Room use for general emergency conditions. Meteorological conditions at Oconee require a complex method for determining appropriate sectors to evacuate.
The Control Room will typically recommend evacuation out to five miles and shelter out to ten miles which simplifies the process for determining the appropriate sectors to evacuate and to shelter.
J. 8 Evacuation Time Estimates A description of the methods and assumptions used in developing the analysis of evacuation time estimates is included in the current Evacuation Time Estimate Study for the Oconee Nuclear Site. (ONS-ETE-12142012, Rev. 000; ONS Evacuation Time Estimates (ETE) Dated 12/14/2012.) The Evacuation Time Estimates will be considered in evaluating protective action recommendations from the Technical Support Center or the Emergency Operations Facility. A copy of the most recent study is available in the Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility.
J-3 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
An updated ETE analysis will be submitted to the NRC under §50.4 no later than 365 days after ONS determination that the criteria for updating the ETE have been met and at least 180 days before using it to form protective action recommendations and providing it to State and local governmental authorities for use in developing offsite protective action strategies.
The criteria for determination that an updated ETE analysis have been met:
- a. The availability of the most recent decennial census data from the U.S. Census Bureau; OR
- b. If at any time during the decennial period, the EPZ permanent resident population increases such that it causes the longest ETE value for the 2-mile zone or 5-mile zone, including all affected Emergency Response Planning Areas, or for the entire 10-mile EPZ to increase by 25 percent or 30 minutes, whichever is less, from the currently NRC approved or updated ETE.
During the years between decennial censuses ONS will estimate EPZ permanent resident population changes once a year, but no later than 365 days from the date of the previous estimate, using the most recent U.S. Census Bureau annual resident population estimate and State/local government population data, if available. ONS will maintain these estimates so that they are available for NRC inspection during the period between decennial censuses and shall submit these estimates to the NRC with any updated ETE analysis.
ONS' ETE analysis, using the 2010 decennial census data from the U.S. Census Bureau, was submitted to the NRC via §50.4 on December 14, 2012.
J.9 Implementing Protective Measures See Pickens County FNF Plans.
See Oconee County FNF Plan.
See State of South Carolina FNF Plans, Site Specific.
For hostile action events, a range of protective actions for onsite workers including evacuation of essential personnel from potential target buildings, timely evacuation or relocation of non-essential site personnel, dispersal of critical personnel to safe locations, sheltering of personnel away from potential site targets and accountability of personnel after the attack are provided in emergency plan implementing procedures AP/0/A/1 700/045, "Site Security Threats", RP/0/A/ 1000/010, "Procedure for Emergency Evacuation/Relocation of Site Personnel", RP/0/A/1000/009, "Procedure for Site Assembly".

APPENDIX 2 DUKE ENERGY OCONEE NUCLEAR SITE Meteorology And Offsite Dose Assessment Program Meteorological Instrumentation (Figure H-4)
Basic meteorological parameters (wind speed, wind direction and delta temperature) averaged over a 15-minute period of time are available in each control room and in the Technical Support Center through a computer display. This information is also available to the Emergency Operations Facility and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS).
Meteorological data for dose calculation consists of a primary digital recording/storage system and a secondary data chart recording system both of which meet system accuracies and other specifications as suggested in Regulatory Guide 1.23, Proposed Revision 1. In the digital system meteorological variables are sampled at 60 second intervals from which 15 minute total or average quantities are computed.
Digital data is placed on a 12-hour recall for emergency effluent dispersion modeling and dose calculation. The data recording system is maintained on the plant's OAC as a backup to the digital system. Therefore, the meteorological information is available on separated systems.
The river tower has wind speed, wind direction and precipitation instrumentation. In daytime conditions (1000 - 1559) a delta temperature of > -0.26 degrees C (Stability Class D) is assumed if the primary tower delta temperature instrumentation is out of service. In nighttime conditions (1600 - 0959) a delta temperature of >+2.0 degrees C (Stability Class G) is assumed anytime the primary tower delta temperature instrumentation is out of service. Oconee Nuclear Site meets all the milestone requirements of NUREG 0654, Appendix 2; therefore, no additional compensatory meteorological actions are required.
Lightning protection is provided for all sensors and signal conditioning equipment; wind sensors are outfitted with heating jackets, when necessary, for protection against icing conditions. Signal conditioners are housed in an environmentally controlled enclosure at both high and low level towers. Signal cables to the OACs and analog recorders are shielded to minimize electrical interference.
Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
Meteorological components have been designed, procured and installed as a non-safety related system. Equipment has been purchased from suppliers which have provided high quality, reliable products in the past. Surveillance during construction was provided as for any other non-safety system.
II. Calibration Requirements And Field Checks A new primary meteorological tower and equipment were installed in 1988.
Instrumentation accuracy for this tower meets the requirements of Proposed Revision 1, Reg. Guide 1.23. Meteorological instrumentation will be checked and calibrated in accordance with the guidance of this regulatory document as referenced in NUREG 0654, Appendix 2.
III. Offsite Dose Assessment A. Class A Atmospheric Dispersion Model/Dose Calculation System This system plots the movement and concentration of effluent during accident radiological conditions. The system uses meteorological data and Operational Aid Computer data from the applicable unit. The user is actively involved in the selection of data for the model input file.
The Class A Model which simulates the transport and diffusion of released effluent is a puff-advection model which incorporates a horizontal wind field that can vary in time but is consistent in space. It is assumed in the puff-type model that the spread within a puff along the direction of flow is equal to the spread in the lateral direction (i.e., horizontal Gaussian Symmetry). In the model, concentration averages are obtained by summing concentrations of individual elements for the grid points over which the puffs pass. Features incorporated into the model include the use of primary, backup ground release mode. Appropriate persistence would be used for initial releases until a meteorologist is notified to provide predictive data.
Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
B. Back-Up Methodology (1) Control Room Procedures Enclosure 4.3 of RP/0/A/1000/001 provides the Operations Shift Manager in the Control Room with a conservative method of determining general emergency conditions based on reactor building and unit vent radiation monitors.
Initial protective actions are predetermined for Control Room use for general emergency conditions. Meteorological conditions at Oconee require a complex method for determining appropriate sectors to evacuate. The control room will evacuate out to five miles and shelter out to ten miles which will simplify the process for determining the appropriate sectors to evacuate and to shelter.
(2) TSC/EOF Procedures Procedure AD-EP-ALL-0202, provides personnel with methods of projecting offsite doses for unit vent releases, containment building releases and steam relief valve releases at 1, 2, 5 and 10 miles unless otherwise directed.
Unit Vent Release This method calculates a four-hour dose projection for total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) and committed dose equivalent (CDE thyroid) based on either unit vent radiation monitors and flow rate monitors or actual unit vent sample data and flow rate monitors.
Containment Building Release This method calculates a four-hour TEDE and CDE dose projection based on the design leak rate and the reactor building dose rate which is determined by the reading from the containment high range monitor or a hand held survey instrument.
3 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
Steam Relief Valve Release This method calculates a TEDE and CDE dose projection based on the activity released using the readings from the main steam line radiation monitors and the volume of steam released.
CDE (thyroid) doses calculated by these procedures are based on 1-131 equivalent concentrations and are calculated for an adult. The dose conversion factor are obtained from EPA-400.

APPENDIX 3 DUKE ENERGY OCONEE NUCLEAR SITE ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Alert and Notification System for Oconee Nuclear Site will include an acoustic alerting signal and notification of the public by commercial broadcast (EAS). The system is designed to meet the acceptance criteria of Section B of Appendix 3, NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP- 1, Rev. 1.
The emergency plans of the State of South Carolina and the counties of Oconee and Pickens include the individuals, by title, who will be responsible for decision making in regards to the alert and notification system. The county locations from which the sirens would be activated and, potentially, the request for an EAS message would come are manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day.
Each organization's plan describes provisions for use of public communications media or other emergency instructions to members of the public. The plan of the State of South Carolina includes a description of the information that would be communicated to the public under given circumstances.
A. Concept of Operations (Figure 2)
A system of 65 fixed sirens is installed in the 10 mile area around the Oconee Nuclear Site. A computerized feedback system is also available at the county level to poll each siren for activation response. Should a siren fail to activate, a backup means of alerting and notification is described in the State and County Plans. This backup method includes emergency service vehicles traversing the area and giving both an alerting signal and notification message.
Each county will control the activation of the sirens within its boundaries.
B. Criteria for Acceptance The alert and notification system for the Oconee Nuclear Site provides an alerting signal and an informational or instructional message to the population (via the EAS) on an area wide basis throughout the 10 mile EPZ within 15 minutes from the time off-site agencies have determined the need for such alerting exists. The emergency plan of the state of South Carolina includes evidence of EAS preparation for emergency situations and the means for activating the system.
1 Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
C. Physical Implementation
- 1. The activation of this alert and notification system requires procedures and relationships between both Duke Energy Company and the off-site agencies that support Duke and Oconee Nuclear Site. When an incident is determined to have reached the level requiring public protective actions, Duke contacts the cognizant off-site agency via the "Selective Signaling" or other phone system and provides its recommendations. This system is available for use 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day and links the control room, TSC, EOF, SC (EOC), the county warning points, and the county EOC's.
- 2. The alert and notification system has multipurpose use built into it. The sirens are capable of producing a three minute steady signal for the nuclear plant emergency or a three minute wailing signal for natural disasters or nuclear attack. Procedures exist at the counties to allow activation of either signal.
The expected performance of the sirens used in this system is described in Figure
- 1. These sirens complement existing alerting systems. The ambient background sound level in the Oconee area is taken to be 50 db for areas of "less than 2000 persons/per square mile". On this basis, the siren coverage is designed to provide a signal 10 db above the average daytime ambient background (i.e., 60 db).
Furthermore, the sirens have been located to assure that the maximum sound levels received by any member of the public should be lower than 123 db.
Duke Energy installed this system without a field survey of ambient conditions.
The basis for selection of the 60 db(c) and 70 db(c) criteria is documented as follows:
Location of heavy industry - There is no "heavy industry" in the Oconee 10 mile EPZ.
Attenuation factors with distance - 10 db loss per distance doubled (See Figure 1)
Rev. 2014-003 December 2014
MODEL TOP FREQUENCY SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL AT 100' Federal Signal 2001 AC 705 Hz 127dB(C)+/-ldB
- See Figure 1 for 10 dB loss column Map showing siren location, - See i-5 Mounting height of sirens - 50 feet (approximate)
Special weather condition considerations (such as expected heavy snow) - None The siren system will produce a 3 minute steady signal and is capable of repetition.
The siren system will be tested and maintained in accordance with the following schedule:
Test or Maintenance Period Silent Test Every two weeks Full Cycle Test Quarterly Repair Before returning to service Full-cycle* Annually Preventive Maintenance At least annually

Activity Type: B.LOCK.
[ The activity is a change to the emergency plan FI The activity affects implementation of the emergency plan, but is not a change to the emergency plan Impact and Licensing Basis Determination:
Licensing Basis:
10CFR50.47(b)4 - A standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimum initial offsite response measures.
10CFR50 Appendix E.IV - The applicant's emergency plans shall contain, but not necessarily be limited to, information needed to demonstrate compliance with the elements set forth below, i.e., organization for coping with radiological emergencies, assessment actions, activation of emergency organization, notification procedures, emergency facilities and equipment, training, maintaining emergency preparedness, recovery, and onsite protective actions during hostile action.
10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.B.1 The means to be used for determining the magnitude of, and for continually assessing the impact of, the release of radioactive materials shall be described, including emergency action levels that are to be used as criteria for determining the need for notification and participation of local and State agencies, the Commission, and other Federal agencies, and the emergency action levels that are to be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outside the site boundary to protect health and safety.
ONS E Plan Section D - Emergency Classification System - RG 1.101, Rev. 3, August, 1992, approved the guidance provided by NUMARC/NESP-007, Revision 2, as an Alternative Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels. Oconee Nuclear Site used the NUMARC guidance for the development of initiating conditions and emergency action levels. The emergency action levels provided in this section have been modified to implement the guidance provided in NRC Bulletin 2005-02, NEI guidance as endorsed in Regulatory Issue Summary 2006-12 and to support the implementation of NEI 03-12.
ONS E Plan Section D.2 - Initiating Conditions - Initiating conditions and their corresponding emergency actions levels are contained in the BASIS document beginning on page D-4. Classification procedure (RP/0/A/1000/001) provides the guidance necessary to classify events and promptly declare the appropriate emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to cognizant facility staff that an emergency action level threshold has been exceeded. Specific response procedures are in place for the Control Room, Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility which delineate the required response during the appropriate classification.
10CFR50.47(b)8 - Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.
10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.G - Provisions to be employed to ensure that the emergency plan, its implementing procedures, and emergency equipment and supplies are maintained up to date shall be described.
ONS E Plan Section H10 Inspection and Inventory of Emergency Equipment and Supplies. All emergency equipment designated by the Oconee Station Emergency Plan shall be inventoried and inspected on a quarterly basis or in agreement with established procedures. Supplies will be inventoried/replaced after each drill and/or exercise or actual emergency where supplies might have been used.
10CFR50.47(b)9 - Adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use.
10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.E.2 - Equipment for determining the magnitude of and for continuously assessing the impact of the release of radioactive materials to the environment; I1CFR50 Appendix E.IV. E.9 - At least one onsite and one offsite communications system; each system shall have a backup power source. All communication plans shall have arrangements for emergencies, including titles and alternates for those in charge at both ends of the communication links and the primary and backup means of communication. Where consistent with the function of the governmental agency, these arrangements will include:
- a. Provision for communications with contiguous State/local governments within the plume exposure pathway EPZ. Such communications shall be tested monthly.
ONS E Plan Section 1.4 - Dose Calculation Methodology, HP/0/B/1009/018 and Sl/0iB/2005/001, (being superseded by AD-EP-ALL-0202) establish the relationship between effluent monitor readings or reactor building dose rate readings and onsite/offsite doses for various meteorological conditions. HP/O/B/ 1009/022 (being superseded by AD-EP-ALL-202) provides guidance for on shift personnel to perform initial dose assessment using a computer based tool.
ONS E Plan Section 1.6 - Release Rates/Projected Doses for Offscale Instrumentation Situations. HP/0/B/1009/018 and SH/0/B/2005/001 , (being superseded by AD-EP-ALL-0202) are procedures that can be used to make offsite dose projections and/or protective action recommendations should instrumentation used for assessment indicate offscale or are inoperable.
10CFR50.47(b)10 -A range of protective actions has been developed for the plume exposure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. In developing this range of actions, consideration has been given to evacuation, sheltering, and, as a supplement to these, the prophylactic use of potassium iodide (KI), as appropriate. Evacuation time estimates have been developed by applicants and licensees. Licensees shall update the evacuation time estimates on a periodic basis. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed.
ONS E Plan Section J.7 - Protective Actions Recommendations. The Emergency Coordinator (Operations Shift Manager or Station Manager) or the EOF Director (depending on the facility activation) will be responsible for contacting the State and/or local governments to give prompt notification for implementing protective measures within the plume exposure pathway, and beyond it if necessary. Procedure RP/0/A/1000/024, "Protective Action Recommendations" and SR/0/A/2000/003, "Activation of the Emergency Operations Facility" has been written to provide specific guidance for issuing protective action recommendations under various plant conditions to the Emergency Coordinator in the TSC and the EOF Director in the EOF Figure (J-1) respectively. (added as a result of rev 2014-003) ProtectiveAction Recommendations (PARs)provided to offsite officials take into account a range of protective actions including shelteringand evacuation. Discussionsconducted with offsite officials determined that the only time shelteringwould be recommended would be during a hostile action based event in which no radiological release has occurred or is expected. The decision to use sheltering as an alternative to evacuation for impediments and special populations is one that will be made by offsite officials. If dose projections show that PAGs have been exceeded at 10 miles, the dose assessment code and in-field measurements, when available, shall be used to calculate doses at various distances downwind to determine how far from the site PAG levels are exceeded. The Radiological Assessment Manager shall forward the results to the EOF Director who will communicate this information to the offsite authorities. Figure J-lA (Protective Action Guides) is adopted from EPA 400 and guidance in state plans on use of KI and considers protective action based on projected avoided dose. Per Appendix 2, initial protective actions are predetermined for Control Room use for general emergency conditions. Meteorological conditions at Oconee require a complex method for determining appropriate sectors to evacuate. The Control Room will typically recommend evacuation (rev 2014-003) out to five miles and shelter out to ten miles which will simplifies the process for determining the appropriate sectors to evacuate and to shelter.
10CFR50.47(b)(14) - Periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected.
10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.F - F. Training. 2. The plan shall describe provisions for the conduct of emergency preparedness exercises as follows: Exercises shall test the adequacy of timing and content of implementing procedures and methods, test emergency equipment and communications networks, test the public alert and notification system, and ensure that emergency organization personnel are familiar with their duties.
ONS E Plan Section N N.2 Drills, Oconee Nuclear Station will conduct drills in accordance with requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix E. Drills shall be conducted to test, develop and maintain skills in a particular operation. Drills may be a component of an exercise. Drills will be conducted and evaluated by a designated drill director. Drills will be held in accordance with Emergency Preparedness FAM Guide Section 3.19, Exercises and Drills.
N.2.e. Radiation Protection Drills shall be conducted semi-annually which involve response to and analysis of, simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples and direct radiation measurements in the environment. Analysis of samples may be simulated in Radiation Protection drills.
10CFR50.47(b)16 - Responsibilities for plan development and review and for distribution of emergency plans are established, and planners are properly trained.
10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.G - Provisions to be employed to ensure that the emergency plan, its implementing procedures, and emergency equipment and supplies are maintained up to date shall be described.
ONS E Plan Section P.4 & P.5 - Review and Update of Emergency Plan. The ONS Emergency Plan shall be reviewed and updated annually. An in-depth review of the Emergency Plan will be made to determine if any/all changes have been made as a result of drills, exercises, commitments, audits, new regulatory requirements, and any other identified mechanism used to determine the appropriateness of the Emergency Plan. The Manager of Emergency Planning or designee is responsible for conducting the review and updating/revising the Emergency Plan and/or Implementing Procedures, as required. Once the review has been completed and changes made as determined, the Emergency Plan shall be certified as current.
Compliance Evaluation and
Conclusion:
-continued BLOCK4
- The proposed changes does impact ONS E Plan Section D, Emergency Classification System. The changes being proposed serve to ensure that the ONS E Plan remains accurate and up to date with system changes being made at the station. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) determined that there was no reduction in effectiveness as a result of the change in dose assessment model. Changes being proposed for WEBEOC do not impact section D of the ONS E Plan. Changes being proposed for the addition of the PSW modification serve to ensure that the EAL Basis remains true to the requirements of NUMARC -007 EAL Scheme and therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47b(4), 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.D1 and D.3 is assured.
-The proposed change does not impact ONS E Plan Section H10 Inspection and Inventory of Emergency Equipment and Supplies. The periodic testing and inventories that implement this section of the plan do not reflect testing that implements any of the above changes. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b)8 and IOCFR50 Appendix E.IV.G is assured.
- The proposed change does impact ONS E Plan Section 14, Dose Calculation Methodology. The change for the current does model to the URI dose model results in the need to supersede previously identified procedures HP/O/B/ 1009/018 and SH/0/B/2005/001 with procedure AD-EP-ALL-0202, which provides for the implementation, operation and use of the URI dose model. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) describes how the change in dose models at ONS resulted in a no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan. The new procedure ensures that the means to perform dose calculations is described and accurate. The proposed changes associated with PSW and WEBEOC do not impact this section of the ONS E Plan. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b)9, 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.E.2, and 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV. E.9 is assured.
- The proposed change does impact ONS E Plan Section 16, Release Rates/Projected Doses for Offscale Instrumentation Situations. The change for the current does model to the URI dose model results in the need to supersede previously identified procedures HP/0/B/1009/018 and SH/0/B/2005/001 with procedure AD-EP-ALL-0202, which provides for the implementation, operation and use of the URI dose model. The new procedure ensures that the means to perform release rates and project doses is described and accurate. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) describes how the change in dose models at ONS resulted in a no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan and continued compliance with regulations and commitments. Additionally, the proposed changes associated with PSW and WEBEOC do not impact this section of the ONS E Plan. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b)9, IOCFR50 Appendix E.IV.E.2, and 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.E.9 is assured.
The proposed change does not impact ONS E Plan Section J.7, A thorough review of this section showed that while Protective Response requirements may be impacted by the changes to implement the new dose assessment model (URI) the actual PARs and the notifications required have not been changed. Changes to PARs have been made consistent with NUREG 0654 Supplement 3 to include a range of protective actions and following discussions with offsite officials during a hostile action based event to include sheltering as long as no release of radiological materials is occurring or is expected. Additionally, the proposed changes associated with PSW and WEBEOC do not impact this section of the ONS E Plan. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b)10 is assured.
- The proposed change does not impact ONS E Plan Section N2b. A thorough review of this section showed that while the performance of both notifications and PARs, the use of PSW and WEBEOC will be tested, observed and critiqued, no actual changes will be required to implement these new processes, systems (URI) or procedures. Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47b(14) and IOCFR50 Appendix E.IV.F is assured.
Continued - [ Bo-c 4 The proposed change does impact ONS E Plan Section P.4 & P.5, The change for the current does model to the URI dose model results in the need to supersede previously identified procedures HP/0iB/1009/018 and SH/0/B/2005/001 with procedure AD-EP-ALL-0202, which provides for the implementation, operation .and use of the URI dose model. The new procedure ensures that the means to perform release rates and project doses is described and accurate. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) describes how the change in dose models at ONS resulted in a no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan and continued compliance with regulations and commitments.. Appropriate changes were made to ensure the E Plan Section P cross reference in Figure P1 remains correct and current with appropriate procedure references. Additionally, the proposed changes associated with PSW and WEBEOC do not impact this section of the ONS E Plan.
Therefore continued compliance with 10CFR50.47(b)16, and 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.G is assured.
As can be seen above, the changes being made to the ONS E Plan serve to ensure the E Plan remains up to date and accurate and adequately reflect the changes to implement URI, WEBEOC and the PSW projects. The proposed changes were reviewed and have been shown above to continue to comply with the requirements as specified.

Conclusion:
KS5B, Evaluation:
10CFR50.47b(4) according to RG 1.219 this planning standard has the following function; A standard scheme of emergency classification and action levels is in use.
The ONS E Plan uses NUMARC - NESP-007 EALs as modified in 2005. The proposed changes associated with URI and PSW were made to the EALs and associated basis document to ensure that the document remains true to the NUMARC scheme, remains accurate with respect to systems used for notification and making of PARs, as well as the dose assessment model used for dose projections and dose modeling. URI uses path specific default times versus a standard 4 hr default time for all release paths as RADDOSE had used. The WEBEOC change has no impact on this section. There are no timing aspects associated with these changes. The timeliness aspect associated with this change would be associated with capability to notify offsite agencies within 15 minutes of the declaration of emergency. The maintenance of accurate and correct information within the EAL and basis would then serve to ensure that no questions regarding the understanding of the changes made and hence make it much more likely that complying with the 15 minute classification as well as 15 minute notification requirement will be met. As stated above, since the function continues to be provided for, the timing and timeliness aspects are met as discussed above, there is no reduction in effectiveness associated with the proposed change to ONS E Plan Section D.
10CFR50.47b(9) according to RG 1.219 this planning standard has the following functions associated with it; Methods, systems, and equipment for assessment of radioactive releases are in use.
The proposed changes associated with PSW and WEBEOC have no impact on this section. The change from RADDOSE 5 to URI is being implemented as a fleet initiative to change dose assessment models to a fleet consistent approach. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) describes how the change in dose models at ONS resulted in a no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan. Therefore since the functions are provided for, and the timing and timeliness aspects are met as discussed above, there is no reduction in effectiveness associated with the proposed change to ONS E Plan Section I.
10CFR50.47b(10) according to RG 1.219 this planning standard has the following (3) functions:
(1) A range of public PARs is available for implementation during emergencies.
(2) Evacuation time estimates for the population located in the plume exposure pathway EPZ are available to support the formulation of PARs and have been provided to State and local governmental authorities.
(3) A range of protective actions is available for plant emergency workers during emergencies, including those for hostile action events.
The proposed changes associated with URI, WEBEOC, and PSW have no impact on these functions. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) describes how the change in dose models at ONS resulted in no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan. While the outcomes from the change in dose assessment (from RADDOSE 5 to URI) may impact the protective actions being recommended (PARs), there are no changes identified for ONS E Plan Section J. Additionally, following discussions with offsite officials and in compliance with NUREG 0654 Supplement 3 a range of protective actions (sheltering) has been included specifically for hostile action based events in which no radiological release is occurring or is expected to occur. The appropriate forms have been added to the implementing procedures. Extensive training has been done on the URI model with those assigned dose assessment activities to ensure that there is no impact to the timing and or timeliness of PARs. The changes to WEBEOC and PSW had no specific impact on Protective Actions.
Since there are no changes needed as a result of the addition of MRI, WEBEOC, and PSW, the functions continue to be provided for and the timing and timeliness aspects are met as discussed above, there is no reduction in effectiveness associated with the proposed change to ONS E Plan Section J.
10CFR50.47b(14) according to RG1.219 this planning standard has the following (3) functions:
(1) A drill and exercise program (including radiological, medical, health physics, and other program areas) is established.
(2) Drills, exercises, and training evolutions that provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain, and demonstrate key skills, are assessed via a formal critique process in order to identify weaknesses.
(3) Identified weaknesses are corrected.
The proposed changes associated with URI, WEBEOC, and PSW have essentially no impact on these functions. Procedures have been modified as appropriate for the operation of the URI system, WEBEOC, and the PSW modification. The performance by the ERO will continue to be evaluated and critiqued. While the outcomes from the change in dose assessment (from RADDOSE 5 to URI) may impact the protective actions being recommended (PARs), and the changes to WEBEOC on how the information is transmitted, there are no changes identified for ONS E Plan Section N as a result. The 50.54q effectiveness review completed for the URI System operating procedure (AD-EP-ALL-0202) describes how the change in dose models at ONS resulted in a no reduction in effectiveness of the emergency plan. The performance by the ERO will continue to be evaluated and critiqued. There are no timing aspects associated with these changes. Since there are no changes needed, the functions continue to be provided for as a result of the addition of URI, WEBEOC, and PSW and the timing and timeliness aspects are met as discussed above, there is no reduction in effectiveness associated with the proposed change to ONS E Plan Section N.
10CFR50.47b(16) according to RG1.219 this planning standard has (2) functions of which only the following is relevant:
(1) Responsibility for emergency plan development and review is established.
The proposed changes associated with URI, WEBEOC, and PSW have essentially no impact on these functions. Procedures have been modified as appropriate for the operation of the URI system, WEBEOC, and PSW. The E Plan is being revised as indicated in this review. There are no timing or timeliness aspects associated with this change or with this planning standard. The functions are provided for by making this change and maintaining the ONS E Plan up to date. Therefore there is no reduction in effectiveness associated with the proposed change to ONS E Plan Section P.
Overall as can be seen by the evaluation above, the proposed changes associated with the replacement of the dose assessment software from RADDose 5 to URI, the addition of a range of protective actions recommended, the inclusion of necessary changes as a result of the PSW project and the change in software for WEBEOC do not reduce the effectiveness of the emergency plan.
Reviewing the comparison matrix the following is noted:
- Change 1 is associated with a change to the ERONS that was completed in a previous rev and the effectiveness review showed no reduction in effectiveness as a result.
- Change 2 and 3 were changes brought about by the change from RADDOSE 5 to URI. URI used different default times based upon the release pathway.
- Change 4 removed reference of station ASW and replaced it with PSW as in keeping with the mod's purpose and in keeping with the bases and intent of the NUMARC-NESP-007 guidance.
All of these changes thus ensure the EAL scheme remains consistent with and true to the NUMARC NESP 007 bases document.
Since the changes as proposed continue to maintain the EAL scheme correct and accurate, it can be seen that there is no reduction in effectiveness.
- Changes 5 thru 15 are editorial in nature, including a change in the name of the company. Changes made to differentiate between alternate and backup facilities is in keeping consistent with NEI-13-01.
- Changes 16-18 are being made to differentiate between alternate and backup facilities and is consistent with NEI-13-01.
- Change 19 thru 23, 25, 27, 32, 37, 39 - 41, and 43 are editorial - header / footer changes, title changes and grammar
" Change 24 and 26, include changes referencing the Alternate TSC/OSC to the Backup Emergency Response Facility (ERF) per NEI 13-01.
- Changes 28 thru 31, 33- 36, 38 are associated with the change from RADDOSE 5 to URI. The operation and use of the URI system is described / contained in AD-EP-ALL-0202. Therefore these changes ensure that the section remains technically correct, as the old procedures have been superseded. Therefore there is no reduction in effectiveness
- Change 42 is made to ensure the correctness of the testing being performed for ANS. ONS does not do growl testing. As indicated by the asterisk full cycle testing can be and is used at ONS in place of growl testing.
Overall, the change from RADDOSE 5 to URI to provide for dose assessment, the inclusion of a range of protective actions including sheltering, and the inclusion of the modifications brought about by PSW and WEBEOC has been appropriately and thoroughly reviewed as indicated above and found to result in no reduction in the effectiveness of the E Plan.

Change Justification: KBLOCK 5 The ASW to PSW change is a result of a modification to the station. The change from the station ASW Pump to the PSW pump enabled the station to not require a blow-down of tile SG's in order to commence feeding to achieve shutdown cooling, as the PSW pump is a high discharge head pump. The installation and use of the PSW pump provides a better margin of safety for the plant. The use of the PSW pump remains consistent with the technical basis of the EAL (NUMARC - NESP-007, IC - SS4 - Complete Loss of Heat Removal Capability EAL 1 Loss of core cooling and heat sink (PWR). The EOP that previously referenced use of the station ASW pump has been modified to reflect use of the PSW pump. The basis provides, "This EAL addresses complete loss of functions, core cooling and heat sink, required for hot shutdown with the reactor at pressure and temperature. Under these conditions, there is an actual major failure of a system intended for protection of the public. Thus, declaration of a Site Area Emergency is warranted. Escalation to General Emergency would be via Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent, Emergency Coordinator Judgment, or Fission Product Barrier Degradation ICs. Core exit thermocouple readings are considered to be the average of the five (5) highest thermocouple readings shown on the Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor. The SSF can provide the following: (1) makeup to the Reactor Coolant pump seals, (2) low pressure service water to the steam generators (additional method for heat sink), (3) capability to keep the unit in hot shutdown for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> following an Appendix R fire. This change is then in keeping true to the basis as currently written.
The change from pagers to ERONS and using cell phones was evaluated in E Plan rev. 2014-002, and shown to not be a reduction in effectiveness. The change is a result of a change in the method used to notify the ERO, and therefore the means to make offsite communications. The change to ERONS remains consistent with the technical basis of the EAL (NUMARC - NESP-007, IC SU6 - Unplanned Loss of All Onsite or Offsite Communications Capability, EAL 1, Loss of all onsite communications capability). This EAL address loss of the ability to perform routine operations and could represent a significant delay in notifying the ERO. The method previously used was using pagers, the new method uses cell phones activated by the ERONS system.
