Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated March 31, 2014 (Reference 1), Southern California Edison (SCE) submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) for the proposed Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) for San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Units 1, 2, 3, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). By letter dated October 21, 2014 (Reference 2), SCE provided a supplement to the proposed PDEP incorporating changes identified in responses to NRC Requests for Information (RAIs). The supplement included a complete version of the proposed PDEP, which included the changes to the proposed PDEP based on SCE's responses to the RAIs.

Subsequent to the submittal of the October 21, 2014 letter, SCE has noted that a change made to Section B.5 of the proposed PDEP was not consistently applied throughout the proposed PDEP. Specifically, Section B.5 was revised to require the Radiation Protection Coordinator report to the Command Center within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> of declaration of an Alert classification or at the discretion of the Shift Manager for other events. However, Section H.4 of the proposed PDEP was not similarly revised. SCE has reevaluated the wording in Section H.4 concerning the P.O. Box 128 San Clemente, CA 92672 /kLV45O (949) 368-6575 PAX 86575 Fax: (949) 368-6183 Tomn.Palnisano@sce.com M,/-4575Z 0

Document Control Desk March 17, 2015 augmented Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel assignments, and has determined that the ERO information is redundant to that already included in Section B.5 of the proposed PDEP. Section H.4 should include only the Command Center facility activation information, not the ERO information. Therefore, this supplement revises Section H.4 to read as follows (changes shown in strikeout):

The Command Center is open on a continuing basis. There is no activation needed.

The augmented ERG, whigh initially consists only of the Duty ERO Coordinator, iepo1s to the CommaRnd enter within about 2 hou,rsof dela*ration of an Ale~t classification or at the dicrretion of the Shift Manager.

A complete version of the proposed PDEP, which includes the change described above, is provided in the Enclosure to this letter. The proposed change is shown on page H-1 of the proposed PDEP and is identified by a revision bar on the right side of the page. The conclusions of the no significant hazards consideration and environmental considerations contained in Reference 1 are not affected by, and remain applicable to, this revised request.

There are no new regulatory commitments in this submittal. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Ms. Andrea Sterdis at (949) 368-9985.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on 3/, /-.

Part 1: Introduction SONGS Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan Section A: Purpose The purpose of this Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) is to assure an adequate level of preparedness by which to cope with a spectrum of emergencies that could be postulated to occur, including means to minimize radiation exposure to plant personnel. This PDEP integrates the necessary elements to provide effective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of organizations expected to respond to potential emergencies.

Section B: Background SONGS is owned by Southern California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) and the cities of Anaheim and Riverside, California. SCE is authorized to act as agent for the co owners and has exclusive responsibility for the operation of the facility.

The PDEP describes the station's plan for responding to emergencies that may arise at the station while in a permanently shutdown and defueled configuration. All irradiated fuel is stored in the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and in the Spent Fuel Pool. In this condition, no reactor operations can take place and the station is prohibited from moving the fuel from the Spent Fuel Pool to the reactor vessel. An analysis of the possible design basis events and consequences is presented in the evaluation of the Safety Analysis Report accident assessment. This PDEP addresses the risks associated with SONGS current conditions.

The analysis of the potential radiological impact of design basis accidents in a permanently defueled condition indicates that any releases beyond the Site Boundary are limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guide (PAG) exposure levels, as detailed in the EPA's "Protective Action Guide and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents," Draft for Interim Use and Public Comment dated March 2013 (PAG Manual). Exposure levels, which warrant pre-planned response measures, are limited to onsite areas. For this reason, radiological emergency planning is focused onsite.

Section C: Scope SONGS has developed this PDEP to respond to potential radiological emergencies at the station considering it's permanently shutdown and defueled status. Because there are no postulated design basis accidents that would result in off-site dose consequences that are large enough to require off-site emergency planning, the overall scope of this plan delineates the actions necessary to safeguard onsite personnel and minimize damage to property.

In addition to the description of activities and steps that can be implemented during a potential emergency, this PDEP also provides a general description of the steps taken to recover from an emergency situation.

Furthermore the PDEP provides for:

• Identification and evaluation of emergency situations

• Protective measures

• Communications

• Coordination and notification of governmental authorities

• Document review and control

• Emergency Preparedness assessment

• Training of all emergency personnel

• An exercise and drill program

• An emergency recovery phase Part I Page 1 Revision 0b

Part 1: Introduction SONGS Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan Section 0: Planning Basis The concepts presented in this PDEP address the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency Plans" and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities" and are consistent with the applicable guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."

Exemptions to 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E for SONGS were granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) per XXX (xx/xx/xx).

The PDEP revision 0 was approved for use by the NRC per Safety Evaluation Report (SER)

XXX (xx/xx/xx).

Section E: Emergency Response Organization SONGS has primary responsibility for planning and implementing emergency measures within the site boundary including overall accident assessment. These emergency measures include mitigation, corrective actions, protective measures, and aid for personnel onsite. To assist in accomplishing these responsibilities, advance arrangements have been made with offsite organizations for special emergency assistance such as ambulance, medical, hospital, fire, and police services.

Section F: Form and Content of Plan The PDEP has been formatted similar to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." The use of this format lends itself to uncomplicated comparison with the criteria set forth in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and addresses the guidance provided in NSIR/DPR-ISG-02, Emergency Planning Exemption Requests for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Plants.

Each Part II section begins by listing the planning standard implemented by section as modified by the exemptions granted to SONGS by the NRC for a permanently defueled station.

Part I Page 2 Revision 0b

Part 11: Planning Standards and Criteria SONGS PDEP A. Assignment of Responsibility PlanningStandard 50.4 7(b)(1) (as exempted in Reference 11) - Primaryresponsibilitiesfor emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee and by State and local organizationshave been assigned, the emergency responsibilitiesof the various supportingorganizationshave been specifically established, and each principalresponse organizationhas staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.

1. Concept of Operations The relationships and the concept of operations for the organizations and agencies that are a part of the overall ERO are as follows:

a. Primary Governmental Response Organizations Identified below are federal, off-site agencies, and county organizations that are involved in a response to an emergency at SONGS.

1) Federal Agencies The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how the Nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies. It is built on scalable, flexible, and adaptable concepts identified in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to align key roles and responsibilities across the Nation. The NRF describes specific authorities and best practices for managing incidents that range from the serious but purely local to large-scale terrorist attacks or catastrophic natural disasters. The NRF describes the principles, roles and responsibilities, and coordinating structures for delivering the core capabilities required to respond to an incident and further describes how response efforts integrate with those of the other mission areas. The federal family response for an emergency at a SONGS station is made up of the following:

a) Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

With regard to emergency preparedness, the NRC will perform the following:

• Assess licensee emergency plans for adequacy;

• Make decisions with regard to the overall state of emergency preparedness and issuance of operating licenses.

• Coordinate with other federal response agencies.

The NRC will respond to incidents at licensed facilities or vehicular accidents involving licensed materials, including radionuclides, in transit. The NRC will act as the lead Federal agency with regard to technical response during a nuclear incident including radiological assistance.

b) Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Per the NRF, DHS is responsible for the overall coordination of a multi-agency Federal response to a radiological incident. The primary role of DHS is to support local agencies by coordinating the delivery of Federal non-technical assistance.

DHS coordinates local agencies requests for Federal assistance, identifying which Federal agency can best address specific needs.

A-1 Revision Ob

Part 11: Planning Standards and Criteria SONGS PDEP c) Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton is the responsible agency for all emergency responses affecting all personnel located at the Base. The Commanding General, Marine Corps Base is the decision maker. Through a Letter of Agreement the Marine Corps Base Fire Department provides fire, medical, and rescue responses to SONGS.

d) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

The FBI acts as the lead agency for the coordination of law enforcement agencies responding to Security related events at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Response actions to Security events are addressed in the SONGS Safeguards Contingency Plan.

2) State of California The California Office of Emergency Services (OES) is designated the state authority for coordination of all State level response. Cal OES is the primary state response agency that coordinates the State's response to requests for assistance from local jurisdictions. The primary method of initial notification of Cal OES is by a commercial telephone line from the SONGS Command Center to the Warning Center in Sacramento.

3) Local Agencies a) Orange County The Orange County Sheriffs Department is responsible for offsite coordination and response in unincorporated Orange County.

b) San Diego County The San Diego County Office of Emergency Services is the lead governmental agency for offsite coordination and response in San Diego County.

b. SONGS Concept of Operations During an emergency, the ERO replaces the normal station organization. The ERO provides the following functions:

• Control and operation of station activities.

• Mitigation of the emergency condition.

• Protection of station personnel.

• Emergency event classification.

• Radiological monitoring and dose assessment

• Emergency notifications to Federal, State and local agencies.

• Coordination of emergency support for fire fighting, security, and rescue/first aid.

Part 11: Planning Standards and Criteria SONGS PDEP

c. Block Diagram of Organization Interrelationships Interrelationships between major SONGS organizations and sub-organizations in the total response effort are illustrated in a block diagram in Figure A-I.

d. Individual in Charge of the Emergency Response The individual in charge of the SONGS emergency response is given the title of Emergency Director.

e. 24 Hour Emer-qency Response Individuals assigned to the shifts are available 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day. These individuals can perform all required response actions until individuals arrive to augment shift personnel.

2. State and County Functions and Responsibilities The state and counties have plans that specify the responsibilities and functions for the major agencies, departments, and key individuals of their organizations. This information is located in their respective plans and standard operating procedures. These plans address multiple types of accidents which may occur at facilities within their jurisdictions.

3. Agreements in Planning Effort Written agreements describing the concept of operations between SONGS and other support organizations having an emergency response have been established. These agreements identify the emergency measures to be provided, the mutually accepted criteria for implementation, and the arrangements for exchange of information. A formal contract/purchase order is considered acceptable in lieu of a letter of agreement for the specified duration of the contract.

Appendix 3 of this PDEP contains the list of active and in force letters of agreement. The actual letters of agreement are maintained in Emergency Preparedness files.

4. Continuous Coverage The ERO maintains the depth and capability for continuous 24-hour coverage of the emergency response for a protracted period.

Part 11: Planning Standards and Criteria SONGS PDEP B. SONGS Emergency Response Organization PlanningStandard 50.47(b) (2) - On-shift facility licensee responsibilitiesfor emergency response are unambiguouslydefined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintainedat all times, timely augmentation of response capabilitiesis available and the interfacesamong various onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities are specified.

1. On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments SONGS has personnel on-shift at all times that provide the initial response to an event.

Members of the on-shift organization are trained on their responsibilities and duties in the event of an emergency and are capable of performing all necessary response actions until the augmenting ERO arrives or the event is terminated. The normal shift staffing assignments include the roles and responsibilities for their emergency response functions.

The relationship between normal and emergency response positions for the shift personnel is unchanged when an event occurs.

An on-shift analysis was performed for ERO functions to ensure sufficient personnel will be able to respond to the limiting event, a catastrophic loss of spent fuel pool (SFP) water inventory.

Shift ERO Positions:

a. Shift Manager (Emergency Director), see section B.4 for Emergency Director (ED) responsibilities.

b. Certified Operator, performs system and component manipulations and basic radiation surveys as needed.

c. Station Security will report to the ED when implementing the PDEP. Security personnel will assist ED as directed.

d. Radiation Protection Technician performs radiological assessment and radiation protection duties.

Refer to Table B-i, ERO Minimum Staffing Requirements, for summary of ERO shift and augmented positions.

2. Initial Assignment of Event Response Authority and Responsibility The Shift Manager is the on-shift individual who declares the initial emergency classification and assumes the role of Emergency Director upon event declaration and has the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions. Ifthe Shift Manager is unavailable or incapacitated for any reason the Certified Operator will assume duties until another Shift Manager arrives.

The Emergency Director has the authority to suspend any security measure described in the Physical Security Plan as necessary to facilitate response to emergency conditions.

D. Emergency Classification System PlanningStandard50.47(b) (4) (as exempted in Reference 11) - A standardemergency classificationand action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters,is in use by the nuclearfacility licensee.

1. Emergency Classification System A graded scale of response for distinct classifications of emergency conditions, actions appropriate for those classifications, and criteria for escalation to a more severe classification is provided.

The station maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 30 minutes of the availability of indications that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) has been exceeded.

" The 30-minute criterion will commence when plant instrumentation, plant alarms, computer displays, or incoming verbal reports corresponding to an EAL first become available to the individual in command and control (SM/ED) or Certified Operator.

• Validation or confirmation of plant indications, alarms or reports is to be accomplished within the 30-minute criterion as part of the classification assessment.

• For EAL thresholds that specify a duration (time imbedded EALs), the declaration process runs concurrently with that specified threshold duration. If it is determined that the condition will not clear within the time period, the event is declared regardless of whether the imbedded time period has been met. Once the condition has existed for the specified duration, no further classification assessment is warranted and the EAL must be promptly declared.

• The 30-minute criterion is not used as a grace period to attempt to restore plant conditions to avoid declaring an emergency in which an EAL has been exceeded.

" The 30-minute criterion will not prevent implementation of response actions necessary to protect public health or deny the State and local authorities the opportunity to implement measures necessary to protect the public health and safety.

SONGS utilizes a classification methodology endorsed by the NRC. Specifically SONGS classification system follows the methodology in NEI 99-01, Rev 6, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors.

The emergency classification system utilizes two categories for classification of emergency events. The specific initiating conditions for each classification and their corresponding emergency action levels are provided in the EAL Technical Bases Manual controlled as Volume 2 of this PDEP.

D-1 Revision Ob

The definitions and discussions of the two Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs), from lowest to highest severity, are as follows:

a. Notification of Unusual Event Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

This is the less severe of the two levels. The purpose of this classification is to bring response personnel and offsite agencies to a state of readiness in the event the situation degrades and to provide systematic handling of information and decision-making. The Shift Manager will classify a Notification of Unusual Event.

Required actions at this classification include:

• Notifications to station personnel.

• Notification, within 60 minutes, of the required off-site agencies.

• At the discretion of the Emergency Director augment shift personnel if needed.

• Notification of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as soon as possible but within 60 minutes of classification.

• Assessment of the situation and response as necessary, which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.

• Appropriate measures to mitigate the effects of the emergency and return conditions to normal operation status.

• When the event is terminated, closeout is performed over communication links to offsite authorities (i.e., NRC and local agencies), followed by written summary within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

b. Alert Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.

The purpose of this classification is to ensure that emergency response personnel are readily available and to provide offsite authorities with current status information. An Alert will be classified as the initiating event or as escalation from a Notification of Unusual Event.

Required actions at this classification include:

• Notifications to station management.

• Notification, within 60 minutes, of the required off-site agencies.

• Activation of the Emergency Response Organization.

• Notification of the NRC as soon as possible but within 60 minutes of classification.

D-2 Revision Ob

" Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing periodic updates, including radiological data.

" When the event is terminated, closeout is performed over communication links to offsite authorities (i.e., NRC and local agencies), followed by written summary within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

" Site evacuation and personnel accountability may be directed by the Emergency Director based on hazards associated with the event.

" Appropriate measures to mitigate the effects of the emergency and return conditions to normal operation status.

2. Emergency Action Level Technical Bases The initiating conditions, their corresponding emergency actions levels and the technical bases for each classifiable threshold are contained in the station's EAL Technical Basis Manual, which was based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6, Section 8 and Appendix C, and was approved for use by the NRC.

3. Offsite Classification Systems SONGS emergency planning personnel periodically review the classification system with state and local agencies.

4. Offsite Emergency Planning Offsite agencies maintain plans to respond to various natural or man-made emergencies.

Although they may not be specific to an event at SONGS the Emergency Preparedness Manager shall coordinate with offsite agencies for response planning to an emergency at the station.

D-3 Revision Ob

E. Notification Methods and Procedures PlanningStandard 50.47(b) (5) (as exempted in Reference 11) - Procedureshave been establishedfor notification, by the licensee, of State and local response organizationsand for notification of emergency personnelby all organizations;the content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizationshas been established.

1. Bases for Notification of Offsite Agencies SONGS, in cooperation with state and local authorities, has established mutually agreeable methods and procedures for notification of offsite response organizations consistent with the approved emergency classification level scheme. Notifications to offsite agencies include a means of verification.

2. Notification and Mobilization of Emergency Response Personnel Emergency implementing procedures are established for notification and mobilization of emergency response personnel.

a. Notification of Onsite Personnel and Mobilization of the ERO Each emergency classification results in onsite personnel being notified of the initial classification or any escalation of an emergency by recognizable alarms and/or verbal announcements over the plant Public Address (PA) System. Announcements include the emergency classification and response actions to be taken by personnel onsite (such as ERO, non-ERO, contractor personnel, and visitors). Provisions are made to alert personnel in high noise areas and outbuildings as applicable.

Provisions are established for notification of personnel within the Owner Controlled Area any time a Site Evacuation has been initiated, or as otherwise deemed appropriate.

When an emergency classification level is declared or upgraded, an announcement is made over the plant public address system (or by other means) that states the emergency classification level declared and response actions to be taken by site personnel.

At an Alert classification level all ERO augmentation personnel are notified to respond.

Notifications of onsite personnel will be made as soon as possible after the triggering event (emergency declaration or decision to take protective actions) to ensure that actions can be completed within required time frames.

b. Notification and Mobilization of the Offsite Response Organizations (ORO)

When an emergency classification level is declared or upgraded, initial notifications are promptly made to staffed warning points for the OROs.

Notification and mobilization of federal, state and local agency response personnel is performed in accordance with their applicable emergency plans and procedures.

E-1 Revision Ob

1) State and Local Response Agencies State and local agency staffed Warning Points are notified within sixty (60) minutes of an event declaration (initial or an escalation) or change in radiological release status (occurring outside of an event classification, based on an agreement with the local agencies).

2) Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

The NRC is notified immediately after notification of the appropriate state and local agencies and not later than one (1) hour after the time of initial classification, escalation, termination or entry into the recovery phase.

For hostile action events, the NRC is notified immediately following or concurrent with state and local notifications.

c. Support Organizations

• Medical, rescue, and fire fighting support services are notified for assistance, using normal 911 procedures, as the situation dictates.

• The American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) is notified at an Alert classification with requests for assistance as necessary.

3. Initial Notification Messages The Initial Emergency Notification Message contains the current emergency classification level and whether a release is taking place.

SONGS, in conjunction with authorities from local agencies has established the specific content and format of the initial notification message to be transmitted during an emergency, along with methods of transmission. The initial notification form will provide the following information if it is known and appropriate:

a. Location of incident, and name and telephone number of caller.

G. Emergency Public Information PlanningStandard 50.4 7(b) (7) (as exempted in Reference 11) -The principalpoints of contact with the news media for disseminationof information during an emergency are establishedin advance, and proceduresfor coordinateddisseminationof information to the public are established.

The company's Corporate Communications Department is the principle point of contact for the dissemination of information during an event at the station. The Communications Department will disseminate information to the public through press releases and media conferences in accordance with current corporate communication protocols.

Due to the lack of postulated events that would impact offsite areas or requiring Offsite Response Organizations to take pre-planned actions, no arrangements are made for a Joint Information Center.

SCE maintains a corporate media line that is available at all times (24/7). A Corporate Communications Spokesperson maintains a liaison with local media and would act as the initial company spokesperson for a declared emergency at SONGS. SCE also has a Local Public Affairs officer who acts as a liaison between SCE and State and local public affairs officers to coordinate the timely flow of information and address any mis-information related to the event.

G-1 Revision Ob

H. Emergency Facilities and Equipment Planning Standard50.47(b)(8) - Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.

1. Command Center The Command Center is the onsite facility used to respond to emergency events. Plant systems and equipment parameters necessary to initiate emergency measures and assess conditions can be monitored in this location. The Command Center also has internet capabilities, which allows access to geophysical (i.e., meteorological, hydrologic, and seismic) information.

Command Center personnel evaluate and control the emergency and initiate activities necessary for coping with the emergency. The Command Center may be relocated as determined by the Emergency Director in the event that it is threatened with security events or hazardous conditions. The activities conducted by the Command Center staff include:

" Initial direction of all plant related operations

" Accident recognition, classification, mitigation, and initial corrective actions

" Activation of emergency response facilities and ERO notification

• Notification of offsite agencies

• Continuous evaluation of the magnitude and potential consequences of an incident In the event that augmented staff personnel respond, the Command Center provides space for those personnel to support the response. These activities include:

• Assessment of plant status

• Implementation of emergency actions and mitigation strategies.

• Provide voice communications with the NRC and local agencies as needed

• Radiological monitoring and assessment

• Brief and prepare personnel for work assignments in response to the event

2. Emergency Operations Facility The SONGS PDEP does not include an Emergency Operations Facility.

3. Emergency Operations Centers Offsite agencies maintain Emergency Operations Centers, for all types of emergencies, in accordance with their respective plans.

4. Activation The Command Center is open on a continuing basis. There is no activation needed.

H-1 Revision Ob

5. Onsite Monitoring Equipment Radiation monitoring equipment provides radiological surveillance capabilities. The equipment provides for the following basic functions:

• Warns personnel of radiological health hazards, which have developed.

• Gives early warning of certain plant malfunctions, which might lead, to a radiological health hazard or plant damage.

• Prevents or minimizes the effects of inadvertent releases of radioactivity to the environment by consequence-limiting automatic responses.

Station instrumentation provides a display of plant parameters from which the safety status of systems can be assessed in the Command Center. Key parameters are:

• Gaseous Effluent Monitor readings

• Radiation Levels

• Fuel Handling Area Radiation Levels Portable radiation and contamination monitoring instruments and sampling equipment normally utilized and maintained by the station is available for emergency use.

6. Offsite Monitoring Equipment No radiation and contamination monitoring equipment is maintained specifically for offsite monitoring.

7. Offsite Monitoring Equipment Storage Monitoring equipment is not stored offsite. Limited offsite monitoring near the site boundary will be performed using onsite equipment or arrangements will be made for additional equipment as needed.

8. Meteorological Monitoring The station maintains meteorological instrumentation for near instant time readings of wind speed and direction to provide guidance ifonsite protective actions are implemented.

Backup meteorological information can also be obtained from the National Weather Service.

9. Facility and Equipment Readiness The Command Center and emergency equipment are inspected and inventoried quarterly and after each use in accordance with site procedures. These procedures provide information on location and availability of emergency equipment and supplies. A system of sealed containers or facilities may be utilized versus actual performance of item-by-item inventories.

H-2 Revision Ob

10. General Use Emergency Equipment Station procedures identify the general category of equipment and supplies that make up equipment available to assist with emergency response and requirements for inventorying and testing equipment. General types of equipment available to support emergency response include:

H-3 Revision Ob

I. Accident Assessment Planning Standard50.47(b)(9) - Adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potentialoffsite consequences of a radiologicalemergency condition are in use.

1. Plant Parameters and Corresponding Emergency Classification Emergency Action Level thresholds have been established in accordance with the NRC endorsed methodology in Regulatory Guide 1.101. Refer to section D.

The EAL Technical Bases Manual identifies the system parameter and effluent parameter values which can be used to determine the emergency condition.

Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIP) and EAL user aids have been developed to identify the system and effluent parameter values which are used to determine an existing emergency classification level.

2. Onsite Accident Assessment Capabilities On-site capabilities and resources are available to provide initial and continuing information for accident assessment throughout the course of an event and include area and process radiation monitoring systems.

3. Source Term Determination Station specific dose assessment procedures are used to calculate accumulated or projected dose at some time in the future if current or projected conditions continue.

Radiological and meteorological readings are used to project dose rates at predetermined distances from the release point.

Due to the constantly declining source term, based on natural decay of fission products contained in the spend fuel, source terms used for dose projections can also be based on actual on or offsite radiological readings at the time of an event.

4. Effluent Monitor Data and Dose Proiection Station specific dose assessment procedures address calculating accumulated or projected dose at some time in the future if current or projected conditions continue. Radiological instrumentation readings and meteorological data are used to project dose rates at the Site Boundary, and to determine the integrated dose received.

5. Meteorological Information Local meteorological information is available to the Command Center staff. The meteorological parameters include wind speed and direction. Procedures have been developed to determine stability class as needed for atmospheric dispersion calculations. A description of the onsite meteorological capabilities is given in Section H.

1-1 Revision Ob

6. Off-scale or Inoperable Effluent Monitors (Unmonitored Releases)

Dose projections can be made during a release through use of actual survey and air sample data in situations where effluent monitors are either off-scale or inoperative or the release occurs by an unmonitored flow path.

7. Field Monitorinq In the event of a radiological release onsite field monitoring activities are performed by qualified individuals to confirm dose projections or assist in event classification. Portable radiological survey instrumentation and equipment is provided as part of the SONGS Radiation Protection Program. This equipment is available to support emergency response.

8. Field Monitoring Team No pre defined field monitoring teams are assigned. Qualified individuals will be deployed as needed from the Command Center to perform surveys.

Prior to deployment, field monitoring teams are assembled at the Command Center to inventory and test survey and sampling equipment. Following the equipment and inventory checks, field monitoring teams are provided a briefing. Teams are then dispatched to perform surveys.

Communications are performed via radio or cell phones.

9. Air Monitoring Instrumentation to measure radioactivity in counts per minute (cpm) and to determine dose rate in mRem/hr is used for detection and measurement of airborne isotopic concentrations.

The air sample will be taken with a Portable Air Sampler. Air sampling results will be obtained through the use of a portable multi-channel analyzer and appropriate gamma sensitive detector.

The presence of significant levels of radioiodines in the spent fuel is extremely limited, therefore no special equipment is provided to measure for radioiodines.

10. Dose Estimates Design Basis Accidents at SONGS can no longer exceed the Alert level (i.e. offsite doses will only reach a fraction of the EPA Protective Action Guides). Dose estimates will be performed to determine projected onsite doses and potential offsite consequences of any release to the environment.

11. Offsite Agencies Monitoring Capabilities The offsite agencies have the ability and resources to coordinate with federal monitoring teams as deemed necessary.

1-2 Revision Ob

J. Protective Response Planning Standard 50.47(b)(1 0) (as exempted in Reference 11) - A range of protective actions has been developed for emergency workers and the public.

It is no longer possible for the radiological consequences of design basis accidents or other credible events at SONGS to exceed the limits of the EPA PAGs beyond the site boundary or require offsite protective actions. Therefore, pre-planned protective actions for the public are no longer necessary and the emergency planning zones will no longer exist. Therefore, SONGS will not have pre-defined Protective Action Recommendations. Offsite agencies maintain the ability, under their emergency management plans, to implement offsite protective measures, if needed, in the unlikely event of a release due to a beyond design-basis event.

1. Protective Actions for Site Personnel Protective actions for onsite personnel will be delineated in the site procedures and will include:

" Criteria for ordering a site evacuation

" Means and timely notification of onsite persons impacted

" Ability to account for individuals within the Protective Area within 30 minutes from the time accountability is initiated

" Provisions for determining and maintaining accountability of assembled and evacuated personnel, and for identifying and determining the locations of personnel that were not-evacuated

• Search and rescue

" Evacuation routes and means for transporting onsite personnel (e.g., privately owned vehicles, buses, company vehicles)

• Monitoring of evacuees for contamination and control measures if contamination is found

• Means for evacuating and treating onsite injured personnel, including potentially contaminated personnel Notification and protective response actions for onsite emergency workers are also addressed in section E.2 and section K of this plan.

2. Mitigation Strategies and Equipment SONGS has documented strategies for mitigation of designated emergencies involving the Spent Fuel Pool and has equipment available to be used in those strategies/mitigative actions.

The Shift Manager (Emergency Director) and Duty ERO Coordinator are responsible for assessing the need for and directing mitigation activities. Additional assistance may be provided by the Technical Coordinator upon arrival or via available communication devices.

The Implementing Procedures to this plan detail their responsibilities and offer a brief summary of the available strategies.

J-1 Revision Ob

K. Radioloaical ExDosure Control PlanningStandard50.4 7(b)(11) - Means for controlling radiologicalexposures, in an emergency, are established for emergency workers. The means for controllingradiological exposures shall include exposure guidelines consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides.

1. Emergency Exposure Guidelines SONGS maintains personnel exposure control programs in accordance with 10 CFR 20 under normal conditions. Personnel exposure levels are maintained under EPA-400 levels for emergency workers during declared emergencies.

In emergency situations, workers may receive exposure under a variety of circumstances in order to assure safety and protection of others and of valuable property. The Emergency Worker Dose Limits are as follows:

Dose Limit Activity Condition All Emergency Workers may be authorized up to 5 Rem Emergency Exposure for the 5 All emergency; however attempts should be made to keep exposures within 10CFR20 limits.

10 Protecting valuable property Lower dose not practicable.

25 Lifesaving or protection of Lower dose not practicable.

25_ large populations

> 25 Lifesaving or protection of Only on a voluntary basis to persons fully large populations aware of the risks involved.

Limit dose to the lens of the eye to 3 times the above values and doses to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to 10 times the above values.

2. Emergency Radiation Protection Program Radiation protection guidelines include the following:

" Volunteers over forty-five years of age are considered first for any emergency response action requiring exposure greater than normal limits. Routine dose limits are and shall not be extended to emergency dose limits for declared pregnant individuals. As in the case of normal occupational exposure, doses received under emergency conditions should be maintained as low as reasonably achievable.

• Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Rem TEDE should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.

K-1 Revision Ob

" In the context of the emergency limits, exposure of workers that is incurred for the protection of large populations may be considered justified for situations in which the collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred by the workers involved.

• Exposure accountability is maintained and proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for personnel during emergency conditions.

" Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval. Personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated.

• Periodic habitability surveys of the Command Center are performed during an emergency. If the facility is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize exposure to radiation and radioactive materials.

" Assembly areas are established, as necessary, to relocate and monitor personnel evacuated from areas of the plant.

Station Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are in place for expeditious decision-making with reasonable consideration of the relative risks involved in a lifesaving mission involving radiation exposure.

3. Emergency Personnel Exposure and Records

a. Dosimetry Emergency workers are issued permanent reading dosimeters as a means for recording exposure for permanent records prior to entering a radiologically controlled area.

Additionally, personal are issued digital dosimetry capable of measuring dose and dose rate on a real time basis.

b. Dose Records Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with the emergency and radiological protection procedures. Emergency workers are instructed to read their dosimeters frequently. Permanent reading dosimeters may be processed with increased periodicity during an event.

4. Contamination Control and Decontamination

a. Action Levels for Determininq the Need for Decontamination During emergency conditions, normal plant contamination control criteria will be adhered to as much as possible. However, these limits may be modified by the Emergency Director should conditions warrant.

K-2 Revision Ob

b. Means for Radiological Decontamination Contaminated personnel will normally be attended to at an onsite decontamination area in accordance with radiation protection procedures. Decontamination showers and supplies are provided at those onsite areas. If contamination above acceptable levels is found, personnel will be decontaminated in accordance with plant procedures. If normal decontamination procedures do not reduce personnel contamination to acceptable levels, the case will be referred to a competent medical authority (refer to Section L).

Processes for the control of solid contaminated waste are established. Shower and sink drains are routed to where the liquid is contained or is processed and monitored prior to discharge.

Temporary decontamination areas can also be set up inside at various locations.

Arrangements have been made to transfer contaminated injured personnel to hospitals capable of assisting with treatment and decontamination efforts.

5. Contamination Control Measures Onsite contamination controls are established to contain the spread of loose surface radioactive contamination.

a. Area Access Control Contaminated areas are isolated as restricted areas with appropriate radiological protection and access control. Personnel leaving contaminated areas are monitored to ensure both themselves and their clothing are not contaminated. Supplies, instruments, and equipment that are in contaminated areas or have been brought into contaminated areas will be monitored prior to removal. Items found to be contaminated, will be decontaminated using normal plant decontamination techniques and facilities or may be disposed of as radioactive waste.

b. Drinking Water and Food Supplies Measures will be taken to control onsite access to potentially contaminated potable water and food supplies. Under emergency conditions when uncontrolled releases of activity have occurred, eating and drinking are prohibited in station emergency response facilities until habitability surveys indicate that such activities are permissible.

c. Return of Areas and Items to Normal Use Restricted areas and contaminated items will be returned to normal use when contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels. Contamination control criteria for returning areas and items to normal use are contained in the plant procedures.

6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel Protective equipment and supplies will be distributed (as needed) to personnel remaining or arriving on site during the emergency to minimize the effects of radiological exposures or contamination. Protective measures to be utilized are as follows:

K-3 Revision Ob

a. Individual Respiratory Protection: Emergency response personnel may be required to use respiratory protection in any environment involving exposure to airborne radio-nuclides, an oxygen deficient atmosphere, or where air quality is in doubt. In the presence of airborne particulates, qualified emergency response personnel may be directed by radiation protection personnel to use full-face filter type respirators. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is available for use by the ERO when needed due to hazardous conditions. The criteria for issuance of respiratory protection are described in station procedures.

b. Use of Protective Clothin-g: Anti-contamination clothing, located in station dress out areas, is available for use by onsite personnel. The criteria for issuance of protective clothing are described in station procedures.

K-4 Revision Ob

L. Medical and Public Health Support Planning Standard50.47(b)(12) - Arrangements are made for medical services for contaminatedinjured individuals.

M. Reentry and Recovery Planninq PlanningStandard 50.47(b)(13) - General plans for recovery and reentry are developed.

1. Reentry and Recovery During a declared emergency, a point will be reached at which the plant will be placed in a stable condition. With the understanding that this condition could be attained even though specific Emergency Action Levels are still exceeded, the Emergency Director will determine that there is no longer a need to keep the emergency organization in effect and to begin plant recovery.

The extent and nature of the corrective and protective measures and the extent of plant recovery will depend on the emergency conditions at hand and the status of plant areas and equipment. The general goals for plant recovery are:

• An orderly evaluation of the cause and effect of the emergency and the implementing of solutions to prevent the immediate recurrence of the incident.

" A planned approach for returning the plant to a stable condition by obtaining the appropriate manpower, materials, and equipment needed to accomplish that end.

" An evaluation of the radiation exposure records for all on-site emergency response personnel involved in the incident.

• A planned approach to ensure that radiation exposures and contamination control are in keeping with the ALARA program.

2. Recovery Organization The recovery organization will be based on normal SONGS organizations and functions with the SONGS executive management position being responsible for directing all site activities.

The normal station organization is documented in the UFSAR, as required by Technical Specification 5.2.1.a.

If the event results in additional support being required to return the site to pre-event status along with increased interface with offsite agencies and/or media involvement, a recovery organization similar to that shown in Figure M-1 will be put in place.

Notification of onsite personnel and offsite response organizations that the plant recovery is to commence will be performed in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

3. Recovery Phase Notifications Offsite authorities will be notified when recovery phase begins and ends.

4. Emergency Response Records

• Records associated with the emergency that are to be maintained include:

• cause of the incident,

• personnel and equipment involved,

• extent of injury and damage (onsite and offsite) as a result of the incident,

• locations of contamination with the final decontamination survey results, M-1 Revision Ob

• corrective actions taken to terminate the emergency,

• actions taken or planned to prevent a recurrence of the incident,

• onsite and offsite assistance requested and received, and any program changes resulting from a critique of emergency response activities.
