Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 1: INTRODUCTION Section A:Pups As required by the licensing conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) this document describes the emergency preparedness program for the Entergy Indian Point Units t1, 2 and 3 Generating Stations (Indian Point Energy Center). The philosophy that guides the development and maintenance of this program is the protection of the health and safety of the general public in the communities around the indian Point Energy Center units and the personnel who work at the plant.
The Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan (Plan) outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. This document is not intended to be used as a procedure. Detailed Emergency Plan implementing procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions.
This Plan documents the methods by which Entergyjs Emergency Preparedness Programs meet the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Section 47(b)-and Appendix E.
The Plan is applicable to plant conditions that may cause or may threaten to cause radiological hazards at Units 1, 2 or 3 affecting the health and safety of workers or the public or resulting in damage to property. Unit 1 s defueled and only those areas of Unit I that either store or process radioactive materials (the Fuel Handling Building and waste storage/process areas in the Chemical Systems Building and the Integrated Liquid Radwaste Systems Building) were considered in evaluating radiological hazards.
This Plan is solely dedicated to Indian Point Energy Center and includes details of how Entergy utilizes its resources to assist the plant operating staff during an emergency situation.
Section B: Background Descriotion of the Indian Point Energy. Center Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line, at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan, in upper Westchester County, New York State. The IPEC Site is about 2..5 miles southwest of the City of Peekskill; 8.3 miles south of West Point; 1.5 miles northeast of the Lovett generating station site; 4.6 miles north of the Bowline Point generating station site; and 2.3 miles north of Montrose Point. The Site is approximately 239 acres and contains three pressurized water reactors owned by Entergy. Figures 1.8-1 and 1.8-2 are maps that show the general location of the Site and its environs within a It0-mile and 50-mile radius, respectively.
Exclusion Area Entergy has the authority within the site boundary, called the Exclusion Area, to determine all activities including the exclusion or removal of personnel and property (see Figure 1.3-3).
t II15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan There are no residences within the exclusion area nor are there any public highways or public railroads traversing the exclusion area.
One main and one alternate access roads service the exclusion area. Several other roads interconnect with these two roads. In the event of an evacuation, all vehicular traffic will be directed to the appropriate access road depending on the wind direction, and traffic would exit the site onto Broadway in Buchanan.
Protected Area A Security fence marks th~e perimeter of the Protected Area of the site. Access beyond the fence is restricted to badged employees or escorted visitors. Metal and bomb detectors are located at the Protected Area entrance. All buildings related to plant functions are within the Protected Area security fence.
The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located within the Protected Area boundary for interim dry storage of spent fuel. The HOLTEC spent fuel storage casks are designed to ensure protection of public health and safety through use of physical barriers to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity and through the use of shielding to minimize radiation dose to the public from both normal and off-norma) conditions of operation. The analyses summarized in the HOLTEC Cask UFSAR demonstrate that under assumed accident conditions, the consequences of accidents challenging the integrity of the barriers will not exceed limits established in 10 CFR 72.106.
Popoulation Distribution Approximately 13,000 people live within a two mile radius, approximately 84,000 people live within a five-mile radius and approximately 300,000 within a ten-mile radius of the site based on the 2010 US Census population. A more detailed summ~ary of population distribution can be found in Appendix 5 and the station's Evacuation Time Estimate Study.
The Indian Point Energy Center is surrounded on almost all sides by high ground with elevations ranging from 600 to 1000 feet above sea level. The general orientation of this mass of high ground is northeast to southwest. The Hudso'* River runs northeast to southwest at the Indian Point Energy Center location but tumns sharply northwest approximately two miles north of the plant.
Steep, heavily wooded slopes flank the west bank of the Hudson: the Ounderberg and West Mountains to the northwest (elevation 1086 feet and 1257 feet, respectively) and Buckberg Mountain to the west southwest (elevation 793 feet). Further west are slightly higher peaks.
To the east of the site,-peaks are generally lower: Spitzenberg and Blue Mountains average about 600 feet in elevation, and a weak, poorly defined series of ridges run in a north-northeast direction. The River south of the plant makes another sharp bend to the southeast and then widens as it flows past the towns of Croton and Haverstraw.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Plan..t Unit 1 (615 MWt, defueled), Unit 2 (3216 Mwt) and Unit 3 (3189 Mwt).
Figure 1 .B-3 shows a general layout of the Site.
In a nuclear reactor system, containment is defined as the means of restricting, to sharply defined volumes, the distribution of radioactive materials that are in the process of nuclear fission. The IP-2 and IP-3 units have three containment barriers that exemplify the "Defense in Depth" philosophy.
The first or innermost of the barriers is the fuel rod. This encapsulates the fuel pellets that generate the heat energy and is designed to maintain its integrity for the anticipated core life.
The second containment barrier is the reactor pressure vessel. This pressure vessel contains the fuel rods, grouped into fuel assemblies, and the attached reactor coolant system which is comprised of four steam generators, four cooling pumps, pressurizer, and piping.
The third barrier, called the reactor containment structure, surrounds the reactor coolant system. The reactor containment is a steel-lined reinforced concrete cylinder with a hemispherical dome and a flat base. This outer containment is designed to withstand the internal pressure that accompanies a loss of coolant accident. The structure provides radiation shielding for both normal operations and accident conditions.
" Section C:Scp The primary hazard consideration at the Indian Point Energy Center is the potential
'" unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from* an accident at the site. The probability of such a release is considered very low due to plant design and strict
- operational guidelines enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). However, Federal regulations and common sense require that an emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station, This Plan describes the response of Entergy personnel at the indian Point Energy Center Site during emergencies. It identifies an IPEC Emergency Response Organization (ERO),
describes facilities and equipment, assigns responsibilities and authorities and identifies procedures for responding to emergencies from minor injury to personnel to conditions having offsite radiological consequences. Implementing Procedures have been developed to implement this Plan. These procedures identify the elements of the ERO and the interface with supporting offsite organizations. In addijtion to the Implementing Procedures [
(IF), Plan Administrative Directives (AD) have been developed to ensure proper maintenance of the program. A listing of procedures cross-referenced to sections of the Plan are contained in Appendix 3. Complete copies of the Plan implementing Procedures are maintained in the Control Rooms, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Alternate Emergency Operations Facility. Additional copies of individual procedures are distributed as needed to support the ERO.
Revision 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Plant operating, radiological control and security procedures were considered in the development of this Plan. Reference to these procedures is made where necessary.
Plant operating and emergency procedures are available in the Control Rooms for use by the operating staff. Radiological control procedures are available for use by the Watch Radiation Protection personnel. Procedures that address security requirements during emergencies for the security force are contained in the Security Procedures and Safeguards Documents.
This Plan includes agreements made with offsite organizations that furnish support during emergencies. These agreements are listed in Appendix 2. Specific notification and direction instructions are incorporated into the implementing procedures where necessary.
Elements of the offsite emergency response are specified in the Emergency Plans of New York State, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties.
Section 0: PlanningL~asis The Plan, in conjunction with the implementing and administrative procedures, documents the methods by which the Entergy Emergency Preparedness Program meets the planning standards set forth in 10-CFR-50.47 (b) and the requirements of 10-CFR-50 Appendix E.
Other applicable regulations, publications, and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with site-specific documents to ensure consistency in the planning effrt
" This* plan was developed in coordination with the New York State Office of Emergency
,Management and local county Offices of Emergency Management. These organizations r Rave complementary emergency response plans.
Indian* Point Unita 1&2 previously owned by Consolidated Edison and tndian Point Unit 3 previously owned by the New York Power Authority, were consoliated under one owner, Entergy Corporation in 2001. Much of the planning efforts prior to the consolidation were carried on as a joint venture between the previous owners. In order to further streamline processes, planning efforts and establish standard responses,, this single Plan was developed.
This Plan was developed to respond to and minimize the onsite and offsite impact of an accident at Indian Point Energy Center. The interrelationship between the Site, Corporate, Federal, State and local government organizations is discussed. Protective measures within the exclusion area (onsite) are the responsibility of Entergy. Protective measures outside the exclusion area (offsite) are the responsibility of state and local government authorities. The Onsite and Offsite Emergency Organizations can respond to any incident or accident 24-hours every day. These emergency organizations consist of many subgroups. The responsibilities, authorities and interactions between the subgroups are discussed in Part 2, Section B of this Plan.
This Plan incorporates a classification system for emergencies and prescribes the recommended actions which are recommended to Offsite to be taken to protect the safety of the public, plant personnel and property both onsite and offsite. These actions are 4 4Revision 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan contained in the Plan Implementing Procedures. The Plan addresses the responsibilities of personnel and the available resources.
The State and local government responses to plant-related emergencies outside the exclusion area are coordinated between the New York State Office of Emergency Management and the County Offices of Emergency Management as described in their respective Emergency Plans.
The response to an emergency occurs in three phases.
- 1. The first phase (initial) includes immediate operator actions to maintain or bring the plant to a safe shutdown condition, initiate action to protect onsite personnel, classify the emergency and notify plant personnel and the appropriate offsite authorities. This phase is conducted by watch personnel (refer to Part 2 section 8) with the assistance of other inmhouse personnel as needed.
- 2. The second phase (activation) includes actions to terminate the incident, monitor both onsite and offsite monitoring areas, assess the extent of any release of radioactivity, and disseminate the assessment (estimated exposure information) to offsite authorities.
The second phase is performed under the direction of the Emergency Director at the EOF/AEOF. This phase includes augmenting the Onsite Emergency Organization with support from offsite.
- 3. The third phase (recovery) begins once the emergency is terminated and includes planned actions for re-entry by workers to restore the station to normal operation, assisting offsite authorities return the public evacuated from around the Site, and implementing post accident environmental sampling as needed. This phase is the responsibility of the Site Recovery Director.
Section E:. Governmental Emnergency Planning Entergy works with Federal, State and Local government agencies to insure an integrated emergency response within the Emergency Planning Zones (Figures 1.8-1 and 1.B-2) located around the Indian Point Energy Center.
Section F: Emergency Plan Guidance an Criteria The Indian Point Emergency Plan and related implementing procedures integrates guidance from several governmental and industry standards to provide the best protection of the health and safety of the public. See Appendix 1, References, for a list of documents used in development of this plan.
Section* G: Assistance to NonoEnterav_ Planning Efforts Entergy provides technical assistance and other assistance as required to State and Local Agencies who are involved in the emergency planning effort for Indian Point Energy Center.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan.
Section H: Response Organization This Plan and its associated implementing procedures outline Entergy's responsibilities for the protection of onsite persons. Specific responsibilities, organizations and program implementation are outlined in other sections of this Plan, its associated Implementing Procedures and supporting Administrative Directives.
Section Il: Federal Response The Federal Government has an integrated response plan in the event of a radiological emergency at any facility. Provisions are made within this Plan for the integration of appropriate elements of the federal assistance activities. Arrangements have been made to accommodate a federal response organization presence in the Entergy emergency response facilities as well as support communications between utility and federal emergency facilities. NRC response as described in NUREG-0728, "Concept of Operations: NRC Incident Response", was used in the developmnent of the Plan as guidance to ensure coordination between Entergy and NRC EROs.
Section J: Form and Content of Plan This Plan has been formatted similar to NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation - of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants'-', Revision 1.
Because this Plan is formatted in the same manner as the guidance documnent, no section cross-reference'is needed.
An appendix., is: provided to cross reference implementing Procedures and Administrative Procedures to sections of the Plan.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section A: Assignment 0 g Res~onsibilitv This section describes the primary responsibilities for emergency response by IPEC, Federal, State, and local organizations within the indian Point Plume Exposure Pathway and the Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs). Various supporting organizations are also described as well as staffing for initial and continuous response.
In the event of an emergency, as defined in Part 2, Section D, various Federal, State, and County organizations will be notified. This section identifies the principal State agency and other government agencies having planning and/or action responsibilities for emergencies, in the Westchester, Orange, Putnam and Rockland County areas of New York State.
- 1. Orgqanzations The relationships and the concept of operations for the organizations and agencies supporting a response in the Indian Point Emergency Planning Zones are as follows:
- a. Identified below are Federal, State, local, and private organizations that are involved in a response to an emergency at Indian Point Energy Center.
Federal Aqencies .
The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) outlines the statutory and regulatory responsibilities, The primary Federal response at Indian Point Energy Center supporting an emergency includes:
o Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), who act as technical/regulatory advisors to Indian Point Energy Center during an emergency. They provide Federal communications capabilities, coordination of Federal assistance, and assessment of. onsite radiological incidents and potential offsite consequences.
The U.S. Department of Energy operates a Radiological Assistance Program from its regional office at Brookhaven, Long island. The Radiological Assistance Plan, which specializes in radiation safety and medicine, will provide assistance to the Nuclear Facility Operator, the State or the county at their request.

15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Table B-1 presents, in tabular fdrm, the minimum staffing requirements of on-shift personnel and the additional personnel capable of augmenting the on-shift organization within 60 minutes.
Those personnel identified to augment the Watch Force within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher are part of the on-call ERG. These personnel are immediately available during normal working hours or are contacted by an electronic notification system during non-working hours. The electronic notification system is backed up with an automated telephone notification system.
The activation phase consists of Emergency Response Organization (ERO) activation.
This includes the normal watch and personnel needed to staff the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), the Technical Support Center (TSC), the Operations Support Center (OSC) and the Joint Information Center (JIC). This occurs at an Alert classification or higher. A partial or complete ERG activation may be implemented at a NUE classification.
The ERO is capable of performing those activities necessary to:
(1) Maintain control of the plant and mitigate the consequences of the emergency, (2) Conduct accident assessment and analysis to determine the full scope and impact of the situation, (3) Establish and maintain communications with authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures, (4) Conduct a coordinated emergency public information program, and (5) Conduct long-term emergency response activities.
Activation of the ERG gives the Emergency Director full access to the resources of Entergy. In addition to the above listed facilities, corporate resources are made available as needed to support the onsite ERG.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section D: Emergency Classification System This section describes the classification and emergency action level scheme used to determine the minimum response to an abnormal event at the Station. This scheme is based on Indian Point Energy Center Units 2 & 3 Systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures. The initial response of Federal, State and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization. Indian Point Energy Center emergency planning personnel work closely with State and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces.
Indian Point Energy Center maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and promptly declares the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.
- 1. Emercqency Classification:
This Plan is based on consideration of conceivable consequences of potential situations ranging from incidents where effects on plant and personnel are negligible to highly unlikely releases of radjioactivity, which could affect .members of the public. The emergency classification of these~ conditions, both radiotogical and non-radiological, indicates the relative severity for immediate implementation of response actions. The four (4) major classifications increase in"overall severity from Notification of Unusual Event (least severe),
Alert, Site AreaEmergency;~GeneraI Emergency (most severe).
These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. Each classification is characterized by certain initiating symptoms or events called Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These action levels include specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) or events that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. A brief explanation of the four classification levels follows:
Notficti nto Nsu vetNUE*
A Notification of Unusual Event classification is used to denote events that 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 off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
Dq 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan This is the least severe of the four (4) classifications. The purpose of this classification is primarily notification. These notifications provide for (1) assurance that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been carried out, (2) bringing the operating staff to a state of readiness, and (3) providing systematic handling of unusual events information and decision making.
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:
a) Notification of State and local offsite authorities within 15 minutes of classifying the event; b) Required Station Management and the NRC are informed of the nature of the unusual condition; c) Optional augmentation of on-shift resources as needed, which may include full or partial staffing of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and/or the Joint Information Center; d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR f) Close out with verbal summary to offsite authorities 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 />.
State and local offsi e :authoities would, as directed by their respective Emergency..
Plans: ..
a) Provide fire or security-assistance if requested b) Escalate to a more severe ;class, if appropriate; OR..
c) Standby until a verbal closeout, Alert An Alert classification indicates events are in progress or have occurred which involv~e 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 the Alert is to (1) ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and .(2) provide the offsite authorities with current information on plant status and parameters. Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses will exceed 10 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 10 mRem/hr external exposure rate.
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:

D-6 D-6 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The Indian Point Energy Center policy on Classification downgrading is as follows:
All events once declared shall remain in effect until: 1. Such time as conditions warrant termination of the event and entry into the Recovery Phase or 2. the event is re-classified at a higher level.
- 2. EmerQency Action Levels:
The postulated accidents analyzed in each units' Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), the example initiating conditions found in NEI 99-01 REV 5 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" were evaluated to establish an emergency classification and emergency action level scheme. NE) 99-01 REV 5 has been accepted by the NRC as an alternative to NUREG-0654-REV 1.
This classification scheme is presented in six categories of EALs, which show the parameters for establishing each emergency classification.
The specific instruments, parameters or equipment statuses that identify the overall severity of the emergency condition and the actions to be taken by the facility staff are identified in the Plan Implementing Procedures. The Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are grouped into six categories to simplify their presentation and promote a rapid understanding by their users. (See Table Do1 for a description of each of the EAL initiating conditions for each EAL category). * ..
These categories are:o (1) Abnormal Rad Release/Rad Effluent,-
(2) Hazards (3) ISFSi (4) Systems (5) Fission Product Barriers (6) Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction Table D-I, Summary of IPEC EAL Initiating Conditions, provides a description of the initiating conditions associated with the above categories which would cause the Plan to be implemented. Detailed emergency action levels are provided in a Plan Implementing Procedure and an associated EAL Technical Bases Administrative Procedure.
lndian Point Energy Center works with the State of New York and local authorities to ensure consistency between classification schemes. The content of the Emergency Action Levels is reviewed with the State and local authorities on an annual basis.

Indian P5oint Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 6. Notification of the Public:
The State and local government organizations have the capability for providing an alert signal (sirens) to their population within fifteen (15) minutes following the decision to take a protective action.
The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is operated by local government agencies and maintained by Entergy. The design of the ANS includes backup power capability in accordance with NRC Order EA-05-1 90, dated January 31,2006 (Section IV~ll: Al -
A5 and 81 - 83). In cooperation with offsite agencies, Entergy personnel test the system periodically. System testing and preventive maintenance requirements include those specified in Section IV.Il: A6 and C4 - C5 of the Order. Any system discrepancies are promptly repaired.
The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is composed of 172 sirens and the RECS phone for the US Military Academy. Those are supplemented with individual alerting devices for residences and special facilities in EPZ areas where acoustic coverage is reduced.
The sirens are electronic. They are activated from each County EQO or Warning Point via simultaneous radio and TCP/IP signals. The county EOCs and Warning Points and IPEC have the same capability for siren activation.
The system design consists of 172 sirens with a distribution as follows:
0, Westchester - 77 oRockland - 56 o* Orange - ,23:
- Putnam - 16 Periodic testing and maintenance of the ANS is performed in accordance with approved procedures. Periodic testing includes:
o, Bi-weekly silent test - intended to check computer equipment, radio transmitter/repeater and siren receiver.
o Quarterly growl test - intended to test the siren sub-system from receiver antenna to siren (satisfies the requirement of the bi-weekly silent test).
oAnnual activation test - intended to test the actuation and operation of the siren system (satisfies the requirements of the bi-weekly silent test) at full volume for a period of approximately 3 -5 minutes.
E-7 E-7 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Tone Alert Radios are distributed within the 10-mile EPZ to supplement siren alerting for residents and special facilities in EPZ areas where acoustic coverage is reduced or when requested. On an annual basis, guidance is provided on the use and testing of the tone alert radios.
Given that automated dialing is an accepted method that can be selected to provide primary alerting in accordance with FEMA-REP-1 0 guidance in consultation with New York State, Westchester, Rockland, Orange and Putnam Counties, the plan is to use "automated dialing' capability as the back-up method of alert and notification in the case of a siren failure.
- 7. Messacies to the Public:
The State has developed draft messages for the Emergency Alert System (EAS) that are intended for the public. These draft messages are included as part of the State plan and contain instructions with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by occupants and visitors of affected areas.
Messages to the public are also provided via the Media. These messages are coordinated by licensee, Federal, State and local representatives at the Joint Information Center.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section I: Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Indian Point Energy Center, diligent accident assessment efforts are required throughout the emergency. All four emergency classifications have similar assessment methods; however, each classification requires a greater magnitude of assessment effort dependent upon the plant symptoms and/or initiating event(s).
In the case of a Notification of Unusual Event, the assessment and coordination of efforts are handled through the Control Room, with additional support as identified by the Shift Manager. During Alert, Site Area and General Emergencies the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Joint Information Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility are activated. Technical Support Center personnel assist the watch personnel in the assessment of the accident and recommend appropriate steps to mitigate the accident. The Operations Support Center assists with in field inspections of plant equipment. The Emergency Operations Facility personnel continue the evaluation of offsite consequences started by the Shift Manager. The Joint Information Center provides interface with the public. The Emergency Operations Facility, when activated, maintains contact with the Control Room and contact with the offsite agencies, and then provides an overview of the assessment actions taken at various classifications levels as follows:
Notification of Unusual Event The existence of conditions which would be classified under this heading is brought to the attention of Control Room Operators by (a) meteorological reports, (b) indications and alarms in the Control Room monitoring plant parameters, (c) indications from fire, seismic or security detection systems, or (d) observations by plant personnel.
Depending upon the particular circumstances of the event, the Shift Manager takes one or more of the following actions to assess the severity of the situation: request clarification and periodic update of meteorological information received from offsite source; monitor Control Room indications more closely; request the plant security force to investigate the matter further and report their findings; dispatch member(s) of the watch force to personally inspect areas of the p'lant; request assistance from the plant operations staff and/or Entergy's Engineering Departments in evaluating data; and make personnel observations (e~g. assessing the intensity and extent of fire). With regard to accidental releases of radioactivity within plant buitdings, the Shift Manager would evaluate the alarm received with respect to other radiation monitors and process instrumentation readouts in the Control Room, Radiation Protection personnel could be sent into the affected plant area to make observations and evaluate radiation levels.
LI 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Alert For emergency situations that are classified as Alerts, the Shift Manager/Emergency Director evaluates information available in the Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and status of safeguards equipment.
The Shift Manager or Plant Operations Manager, acting as the Emergency Director at the start of the emergency, and the on call Emergency Director after taking over control at the Emergency Operations Facility, will continually direct assessment of the relative condition of the three fission product barriers and radiological conditions onsite and offsite.
During Alerts with radiological concerns, radiological assessment actions are initiated as described under the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency part of this section.
Site Area Emerqency and General Emergec For emergency situations that are classified as Site Area Emergencies or General Emergencies, the Shift Manager/Emergency Director evaluates information available in the. Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and the status of safeguards equipment.
An immediate assessrnent- of the projected exposure to the offsite populace is made by using Dose Assessment Computer Programs or by using an implementing Procedure which includes determining a source term, release rate, radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment and projected exposure to the whole body and thyroid
- of individuals exposed to the plume.. The specifics of these are as follows:
The source, term is deterrmined from the R-25 and R-26 accident monitor instruments, indicating radioactivity in the containment building released from the reactor core.
,, The release rate is determined from the Plant Vent Monitor, Air Ejector Monitor or the
- Main Steam Line Monitors. Should the plant vent monitors read off-scale or be
- inoperable, contact field measurements are taken on the plant vent and a procedure is available to convert the mR/hr reading to an equivalent radioactive concentration for noble gases and radioiodine.
,* The radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment are determined first by calculation and then by actual measurement. The calculations are done by computer or by hand, utilizing the Implementing Procedures:
SThe calculation is performed using an equation that utilizes the release rate, dilution factor and wind speed. The dilution factor is obtained from a table, in the computer program or Implementing Procedure, corresponding to the current meteorological data.
SMeasurements are made by offsite monitoring teams who go to selected points and perform field surveys and air sampling. The air samples are counted and the activity calculated, 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- The projected thyroid exposures are obtained from calculations that convert radioactive concentrations to mRem/hour and measurements taken in the field. Whole body exposures are as indicated by the field surveys.
This assessment is updated based on air sampling and field surveys performed by offsite monitoring teams using radio and cell phone equipped vehicles under the direction of the Emergency Director. The area within a 10-mile EPZ is divided into 16 equal 221/2° sectors.
In each sector, Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) has been installed at strategic locations.
A number of strategically located continuous air sampling sites may also be used to evaluate the exposure for the population at large.
The Emergency Director transmits updated assessment information to the New York State Office of Emergency Management and to the Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Orange County Emergency Management Offices.
Radioactive contamination assessment is performed after a release is terminated. The ongoing Indian Point Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program described in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is utilized to determine the extent of contamination.
Radiological assessment personnel in accordance with a Plan Implementing Procedure calculate total population dose. This calculation and others utilize established demographic information in combination with the DLR, bioassays, and projected dose distributions to obtain total population exposure within the 10-mile EPZ.
- 1. Plant Parameters andCorrespondinQ mecencv Classification
- a. Plant system and effluent parameter values are utilized in the determination of accident severity and subsequent emergency classification. Environmental and
+meteorological events are also determining factors in emergency classification.
- b. An emergency condition can be the result of just one parameter or condition change, or the combination of several. The specific symptoms, parameter values or events for each level of emergency classification are detailed in the Implementing Procedures.
- c. In order to adequately assess the emergency condition, each emergency facility has the necessary equipment and instrumentation installed to make available essential plant information on a continuous basis. The types of instrumentation and equipment capabilities available for each emergency facility are described in Section H of the Plan.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Onite Acciden~tAssessmentQCapablities In addition to normal plant monitoring systems and procedures, the following systems are provided for accident assessment:
- a. Sampling System Plant design includes the capability to sample the reactor coolant system, the discharge of )the recirculation and residual heat removal pumps, and the containment atmosphere.
Facilities for the radiation protection and chemistry groups include laboratory and calibration rooms for both conventional and radio chemical analyses.
- b. Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors Indian Point Energy Center has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of inplant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PRM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow inplant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring focal hand-held meter surveys. This information may be used, initially, to aid in the determination of plant area accessibility. The Process Radiation Monitors provide an immediate indication of a radiological release of effluents. The Process Radiation Monitor readings can be used as an input into the dose assessment computer programs that display the projected whole body and child thyroid exposures to~the populace in the plume exposure pathway.
- c. Containment Radiation Monitors and Hydirogen Monitor Containment Radiation Monitors and/or Hydrogen Monitors along with Core Exit Thermocouples may provide an early indication of core damage. These monitor readings are utilized as a method for core damage determination. This is accomplished through use of established procedures based on Westinghouse Owners Group guidance. The core damage estimate obtained from the procedures may also be used to confirm the core damage results obtained through isotopic analysis. These monitors also allow for the evaluation of a potential radiological release.
- 3. Release Source Term Determination
- a. The potential for release of radioactive material and the magnitude of the release can be assessed through use of the Containment Radiation Monitors and Process Monitors. The Containment Monitoring System readings can be used to estimate the percentage of core damage and establish the total number of curies available for release.
- b. If a liquid or gaseous release occurs, the routine or high range process monitors will indicate the release rate. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.
Radiation monitors are located as described in the U2 & U3 FSARs. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use of computer programs.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 4. Effluent Monitor Data and Dose Assessment:
The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates is accomplished through use of the dose assessment computer codes. These programs allow for the direct input of effluent monitor and meteorological data. The computer will generate release rates, projected dose rates and doses to the whole body and thyroid as well as downwind noble gas and particulate concentrations via the plume exposure pathway. The computer software also has the capability of performing multiple accident dose assessment involving simultaneous releases from one or both of the Indian Point Energy Center units. Dose projections may also be performed without the use of a computer through a series of hand calculations. Indian Point Energy Center uses ground releases to conduct dose assessment.
Entergy has procured and installed computer based systems, which are capable of:
- a. Calculating the dispersion path of radioactive material if released to the atmosphere by the plant;
- b. Obtaining meteorological information fromn a primary and backup meteorological tower, thus providing assurance that basic meteorological information is available during and immediately following on accidental airborne radioactivity release;
- c. Calculating the radiological consequences of accidental radioactive releases to the atmosphere;
- d. Providing simultaneous real-time meteorological data for estimation of transport and diffusion estimates of a release in the vicinity of the site. This information is available to the licensee, offsite emergency response organizations and the NRC Staff, via telephone computer access;
- e. Obtaining additional radiological and meteorological inputs that assist in defining the site generated dispersion path calculations.
- 5. Meteorologiical Information:
Meteorological data is available from the station meteorological tower. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, stability class (Pasquill)o This data is utilized by the licensee, locals, State and other Federal Agencies to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion. Section H.9 provides more details on the Meteorological Monitoring System.
- 6. Unmonitored Release:
During an actual release via an unmonitored flow path or in situations in which effluent monitors are either off scale or inoperative, dose projections can be made through use of actual sample data and/or field monitor team readings.
15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 7. Offsite Monitorinci:
In the event of an airborne or liquid release, the station maintains the resources and capabilities to take air, soil, water, and vegetation samples as well as to directly measure gamma dose rates. Samples are taken at locations specified by the Radiological Assessment Coordinator. Environmental measurements are utilized as an aid in the determination of protective and recovery actions for the general public.
A Reuter Stokes Radiation Monitoring System consisting of a network of monitors is installed in each of the 16 sectors around the Indian Point Energy Center Site at a distance of 0.5 to 2.5 miles. These devices will continuously telemeter, via radio, radiation level readings to a computer system, which can be accessed in the EOF, AFOF, IPEC Central Control Rooms and local and State EOCs.
Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) - DLR's are deployed in three (3) rings at approximately 2, 5 and 10 miles from the site. DLR's are sensitive to Gamma radiation and are gathered and read periodically. There are approximately 57 DLR's distributed within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone for Indian Point Energy Center.
Air Samplers are deployed at a number of the sampling sites. They are constantly in operation and pass ambient air through a series of filters that are capable of trapping radioactive iodine and other radioisotopes in the air. The filters are periodically removed and analyzed by Entergy personnel.
- 8. Offsite Monitoringi Teams:
Offsite Monitoring Teams are available at an Alert or higher classification to make rapid assessments of the actual or potential magnitude and location of any radiological hazards from the liquid or gaseous release pathways. These teams are composed of two individuals qualified to perform radiological monitoring.
Monitoring teams establish and maintain direct radio or phone communications with the Emergency Operations Facility fEOF). An Offsite Team Coordinator in the EOF controls the teams. The teams locate and monitor the radioactive plume while taking air samples as directed.
Offsite teams utilize portable equipment during an emergency to gather data from any of the sixty-one predesignated emergency sampling locations around the Indian Point Energy Center Site. Large-scale maps showing the locations are in the Control Room and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) or AEOF, for use by the Emergency Director. Readings taken by these teams are relayed back to the site via radio or phone communications.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section J: Protective Res~onse Protective response consists of emergency actions taken during or after an emergency situation, which are intended to minimize or eliminate hazards to the health and safety of the public and/or Station personnel. A range of protective actions has been developed for emergency workers and the general public in the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Additionally, guidelines have been established to aid in choosing protective actions during an emergency that are consistent with federal guidance. Entergy is responsible for onsite protective actions, while the responsibility for offsite protective actions rests with the State of New York, local authorities and other offsite response agencies.
- 1. Notification of Onsite Personnel:
- a. For all emergency classifications, all station personnel, contractors, visitors and Owner Controlled Area (OCA) badged personnel are notified of an emergency by the public address system, distinct audio signals (air raid alert, fire, site assembly or containment evacuation alarms) and/or alternate methods. Announcements include the emergency classification and response actions to be taken by site personnel.
The Public Address System(s) are designed for paging persons within the site Protected Area from the Control Rooms. Personnel have the ability to talk to the Control Rooms via party line phones that are strategically located within the units.
Plant personnel may initiate the communication to the Control Room from o~utlying party lines.
- b. Visitors within the Protected Area are escorted at all times by badged personnel wt*o will ensure that the visitor takes thea proper actions for the event.
- c. Contract personnel who have un-escorted access to the Protected Area must complete Plant Access Training that includes instructions for actions to be taken during an emergency.
- d. Accountability of persons within the Site Boundary but outside the Protected Area is not required. However, the Security Force will ensure that individuals in the Owner Controlled Area (including individuals with OCA badges) are notified as necessary of any emergency and the response actions to be taken.
- 2. Evacuation Locations:
Assembly areas and evacuation routes are specified in the Emergency Planning Implementing Procedures. Depending on meteorological conditions, the Shift Manager/ Emergency Director decides whether to release plant personnel and the appropriate evacuation routes. Inclement weather, high traffic density and specific radiological conditions and other hazards are considered in making this decision. The release of personnel is under the direction of the Shift Manager/Emergency Director.
Personnel are released to go home or continue from the site to assembly areas using their own cars when practical or other transportation provided by Indian Point Energy Center.
J-1 J-1 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 3. Radiologjical Monitoring:
Radiological monitoring of personnel, their possessions and their automobiles would be performed by Radiation Protection or trained monitoring personnel using instrumentation that is normally available or specifically assigned for this purpose.
Personnel may be evacuated/released as part of the general public to offsite relocation centers designated by offsite authorities.
- 4. Assembly_ & Evacuation:
Relocation outside the Protected Area and/or evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments.
Non-essential personnel (personnel not assigned emergency response functions, contractors and visitors) are directed to assemble at pre-designated assembly areas at the Alert or higher classification. The primary assembly area is the Indian Point Energy Center Generation Support Building fGSB) and the Energy Education Center (EEC).
The Indian Point Energy Center Training Center serves as the back-up assembly area and may be used during periods of high volume, such as an outage. Personnel assigned emergency response functions respond to their assigned emergency facilities.
Assembly areas and evacuation routes are described in the Implementing Procedures.
...Assembly areas are located to assure that personnel are not in the path of the plume.
Each assembly area has a telephone. The assembly areas (G*SB and IPEC Training.
'Building) are within the range of the plant paging system.
Evacuation / release of non-essential Indian Point Energy Center personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The Emergency Director may release personnel at a lower classification.
At the declaration of an Alert, all personnel are relocated from within the Protected Area. At a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency all individuals within the Protected Area are accounted for and the names of missing individuals are identified within 30 minutes of a declared emergency. Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event, unless conditions allow suspension in the later stages of the event. Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated. Accountability is coordinated between the OSC Manager and Security. The results are forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager and/or Emergency Director.
Accountability could be suspended if movement of personnel would place them in more danger than leaving them in place, such as outside weather conditions or security events.
Personnel who are assembled outside the protected area are given further instructions.
These instructions may include sheltering in place, evacuation or, individuals may be requested to assist the ERO in accident mitigation.
J-2 J-2 I15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan If site evacuation is called for, Security will sweep all onsite areas outside the Protected Area and verify all personnel have evacuated or been released.
- 6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel:
The station maintains an inventory of respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, and a supply of KI that is made available to emergency workers remaining onsite should conditions warrant.
- a. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) and full-face respirators are used as the primary method of respiratory protection in an emergency. Emergency response personnel use SCBAs in any environment involving exposure to high-level gaseous activity or oxygen deficient atmosphere, or where air quality is in doubt. In the presence of airborne particulates, emergency response personnel may be directed by Radiation Protection personnel to use full-face filter type respirators.
- b. Anti-contamination clothing, located in the Operations Support Center (OSC) lockers, is available for use by onsite personnel entering areas of plant with known or unknown contamination,
- c. The use of thyroid-blocking Potassium Iodide (1(1) may be recommended at 5 Remn ODE child thyroid or when a General Emergency condition initiates the recommendation to State and Counties to implement KI Program. This is a lower:
. value than specified by EPA 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents". A supply of KI is maintained in the Emergency Response Facilities. Procedures are in place for the use of these agents by emergency response personnel. Administration of 1(I may be authorized only by the Emergency Director or by the Emergency Plant Manager.
- d. Precautions shall be taken to prevent the contamination of drinking water and food supplies by using bottled water and packaged foods.
- e. A range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan.
J-3 J-3 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public:
Plant conditions, projected whole body gamma and thyroid doses, and/Dr field monitoring data are evaluated to develop protective action recommendations for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to the general public. Protective action recommendations for the plume exposure pathway are based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R-92-001 - "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Supplement 3, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, Guidance for Protective Action Strategies".
Protective action recommendations are made directly to the State and local agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. The Emergency Director makes protective action recommendations.
Recommendations issued by indian Point Energy Center at a General Emergency based on plant conditions include as a minimum, evacuation in the two (2) mile radius and five (5). miles downwind and advising the remainder of the EPZ population to monitor EAS messages for further direction. The indian Point Entergy Center's ratiporiale and methodology for plant-based and dJose-based protective action recommendations has been coordinated with local and state response organizations as required by NUJREG-0654, Supplement 3.
- 8. Evacuation Time Estimates:
An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, of the time required to evacuate commercial, resident and transient populations (see Appendix 5).
- 9. Protective Measure Implementation:
State and local agencies are responsible for implementing offsite protective actions.
These actions are included in the State and County Emergency Plans. Entergy is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the offsit~e authorities.
- 10. Factors Affecting Protective Measure Implementation The State, and County emergency plans used to implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
J-4 J-4 15-02
indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- a. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation Protective Action Areas, reception centers in host areas, and congregate care centers have been developed as part of the state and local plans. Pre-selected sampling and monitoring points have also been identified.
- b. The population distribution around Indian Point Energy Center is presented in the Evacuation Time Estimate.
- c. Section E of this Plan describes how offsite agencies are notified in the event the Plan is activated. State and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure EPZ.
- d. State and local organizations have the capability to protect those persons where mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement.
At the time of an emergency, transportation requirement of special needs persons (including mobility impaired) is verified. Mobility impaired will be notified of a protective action via the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
- e. An adequate supply of potassium iodide (KI) is available for distribution by state and local organizations to special facility staff and patients/residents where immediate evacuation would be life threatening. Authority for use of radioprotective drugs rests with the NY Health Department.
- f. State and local organization plans include the method by which decisions are made for administering r~dioprotective drugs to emergency workers. The distribution of radioprbte',tive drugs to the general public has been authorized by the State. Each individual County's Emergency Plan addresses Pre and Post distribution of Radioprotective drugs,.
- g. State and local'organizations have the capability of providing a means of relocation for the gene*,l population. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, driving out 6f the EPZ using designated evacuation routes. Transportation dependent persons will be instructed through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to go to a pickup point or bus route for transportation to a recept~ion center.
- h. State and local organizations are capable of providing reception centers in host areas that are beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.
i.Projected traffic capacities have been determined for evacuation routes under emergency conditions. Section 4 of the Evacuation Time Estimate provides discussion regarding capacity.
- j. Federal, State and local organizations have the responsibility for the control of access to evacuated areas. Personnel from New York State Police and local police departments' staff access control points. The New York Highway Department and local public works departments provide necessary equipment to support access control. The U. S. Coast guard would assist in patrolling the Hudson River areas.
- k. Potential impediments to the use of evacuation routes and contingency measures for such impediments have been identified in local emergency plans.
J*5 J~5 t 5-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan I. Time estimates for evacuation of various groupings of Protective Action Areas have been performed, under various conditions for the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.
- m. The basis for dose driven protective action recommendations are as follows:
If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs and timely evacuation is feasible, then evacuation is recommended. If timely evacuation is not feasible, (i.e. time required for mobilization, warning and evacuation transit is greater than time before plume arrival), then State authorities may direct sheltering in place.
Additionally, if the sheltering dose exceeds the PAG but is less than the projected evacuation dose, then sheltering is considered. A shielding factor of 0.9 is conservatively assumed in the calculation of the sheltering dose. This factor (from SANDIA 77-1725) represents the shielding afforded by a wood frame house. The decision to shelter is the responsibility of the offsite authorities.
- 11. Incqestion Pathway Protective Measures:
The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
- 12. Monitoring of Evacuees:
The State and local- organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers at host communities. This capability includes personnel and equipment capable of monitoring residents and transients evacuating from the plume exposure EPZ and arriving at the reception centers, in accordance with FEMA guidelines.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section K: Rjdio~oqicaj.Exposure ContrOI This section of the Plan describes the means for controlling emergency worker radiological exposures during an emergency, as well as the measures that are used by Entergy to provide necessary assistance to persons injured or exposed to radiation andtor radioactive materials. Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides, EPA 400-R-92-001.
The general guideline for emergency personnel exposure will be to keep it as low as reasonably achievable.
- 1. Emergrency Exposure Guidelines:
Radiation exposure in an emergency is controlled taking every reasonable effort to minimize exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of I10CFR2O limits. Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to the general public, or the prevention of damage to critical equipment may be sufficient cause for above normal exposures. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency activities:
Dos u~ IemT =seLimit
... c w. y.-. .. : .. Condition
~CFR 20 occupational limits during declared emergencies or an emergency exposure up to 5 Remn may be 5-10 Protecting valuable !Lower dose not practicable.

Any emergency response action requiring greater exposure than I10CFR20 limits should be limited to only volunteers, individuals over forty-five years of age are considered first. Females of childbearing age shall not be permitted to receive exposures in excess of 10CFR20 limnits.
K~1 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Emeraencv Radiological Control Program:a_*
The Radiological Assessment .Coordinator (EOF) and the Rad/Chem Coordinator (OSO) ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions, that exposure accountability is maintained, and that personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated. Plan Implementing Procedures detail the emergency radiological controls utilized during emergencies. Radiation protection guidelines during emergencies include the following:
- Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Remn 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.
- 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.
oExposure accountability is maintained and proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions,
- , Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Radiation Assessment Coordina or-(EOF).or RadlChem Coordinator (OSC), and personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated.
Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the faciliy is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize exposure to {adiation and radioactive materials.
Alternate assembly areas are established, as necessary, to relocate and .monitor evacuated personnel.
Potassium Iodide (KI) shall be used in accordance with New York State Policy for issuance of KI. If the risk of using KI outweighs the benefit, KI may not be issued. KI is stored in onsite Emergency Response Facilities.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 3. Personnel Monitoring
- a. If abnormal radiological conditions exist outside the Radiologically Control Area (RCA), exposure to emergency response personnel not issued Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) badges will be tracked by use of surveys and time spent in radiation areas.
badges. In addition to these badges, dosimetry devices will be issued, high range or electronic dosimeters and/or alarming self-indicating dosimetry, are used to monitor emergency workers exposure during an accident. The capability exists for the emergency processing of DLRs on a 24-hour per day basis, if necessary.
Emergency workers are instructed to read self-indicating dosimeters frequently, and DLRs may be processed with increased periodicity.
- c. Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with one or more Plan lmplementing Procedures and Radiation Protection Procedures.
- 4. Non-Enterg. Personnel Exposure Authorization:
The responsibility for authorizing non-Entergy emergency workers (i.e. State and local agency emergency workers such as Fire Department, Police or Medical teams sent to the site) to receive exposures in excess of the EPA Emergency Worker Protective Action Guides rests with the respective State and lo~al organization.
- 5. Decontamination and First Aid
- a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by Rad/Chem-Ooordinator or the- Radiological Assessment Coordinator should conditions warrant.
- b. Decontamination materials and portable first-aid kits are stored within the Protected Area and at the EOF / Warehouse Complex. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination is initially treated by an on-shift first responder or EMT if available. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries such as extensive burns, serious wounds or fractures, in preference to decontamination. If the injury permits, all reasonable effort is made to decontaminate the individual prior to movement. If decontamination is impractical, the patient is covered in such a manner as to minimize the spread of contamination until medical aid can be obtained or the patient can be hospitalized.
K-3 K-3 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The Verplanck Fire Department ambulance is the primary provider of prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, if a Radiation Protection Technician (RP) is available, then one will be assigned to accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance and hospital personnel.
Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the New York-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital (primary), to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center (backup) or another equipped medical facility. Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle radiologically contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. Radiation Protection personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.
- 6. Contamination Control Measures
- a. Areas in the plant found to be contaminated are isolated as restricted areas with appropriate radiological protection and access control as directed by the Rad/Chem Coordinator.
- b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination, frpm restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive, contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in all Emergency Respoose facilities until such time as habitability surveys indicate that such activities a~e permissib~le.
- c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use w*heni contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
- 7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel:
Non-essential onsite personnel are released from the Protected Area during an emergency, if radiological concerns occur. Radiation Protection personnel and/or portal monitors are used to monitor personnel released from the Protected Area and decontamination is performed, as needed. Existing and temporary facilities to limit contamination and exposure will be utilized and established at the site as necessary during an emergency situation. In the event that decontamination of onsite personnel locally is not possible, personnel will be sent to a county emergency worker monitoring and decontamination center for monitoring and decontamination. Provisions for extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminates are available.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNINGSTANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section M: Re-entry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for re-entry into the areas of indian Point Energy Center that have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the Indian Point Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.
- 1. Re-entry and Recovery:
Re-entry:
During an emergency, immediate actions are directed toward limiting the consequences of the accident, so as to afford maximum protection to Station personnel and the general public. Once corrective measures have been taken and effective control of the plant has been re-established, a more methodical approach to re-entry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides re-entry into two separate categories:
Re-entry during the emergency phase of an accident is performed to save a life, control a release of radioactive material, prevent further damage to plant equipment or restore plant equipment. If necessary, this category of re-entry may be performed using emergency exposure limits. Briefings and emergency forms, rather than written radiation protection procedures, operating procedures and maintenance procedures can be used when making these entries.
The Shift Manager and/or the Control Room Supervisor direct re-entry activities prior to activation of the Emergency Facilities. Once the TSC/OSC has been activated, all re-entry activities conducted during the emergency are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager (EPM) and coordinated through the Operations Support Center.
Re-entry during the recovery phase is performed using normal exposure limits.
Either normal procedures or procedures developed specifically for each re-entry are utilized.
The Site Recovery Director or the station's normal management organization oversees the re-entry. Generally, site problems are addressed first to make the site tenable for workers; with a series of radiation surveys to establish accessibility and then steps are taken restore the station to normal operations.
All data gathered from re-entry operations and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed.
The plan is to return plant conditions to within Technical Specification limits and it may include detailed schedules, specialized equipment and personnel, preparing procedures for decontamination, processing highly radioactive water, repairing equipment, and purchasing equipment. A station nuclear safety/review committee reviews and approves recovery operations in accordance with its charter and the Technical Specifications.
rvi 02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Recovery:
Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition, Radiation exposure to personnel involved in the recovery will be kept at a minimum and within the stated limits of 10 CFR 20. Radiation ar'eas will be roped off and posted with warning signs indicating radiation levels and permissible entry times based on survey results. Access to these areas will be controlled, and exposures to personnel entering such areas documented. Shielding will be employed to the fullest extent possible. Survey results, interviews of individuals with direct knowledge of recent conditions in the affected area(s) and all other pertinent information collected from logs and other records or indicators in the Control Room and in the Emergency Operations Facility may be used to evaluate the advisability and the timing of re-entry to affected areas.
The Emergency Director, after consulting with the EOF Manager, Company Spokesperson, the Emergency Plant Manager and the Plant Operations Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the station is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:
0Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? if so, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
oRadioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
- The radioactive plume has dissipated and plume tracking is no longer required.
The only environmental assessment activities in progress are those necessary to assess the extent of deposition resulting from passage of the plume.
o In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
oThe potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
a The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available and adequate. There is no foreseeable danger of losing heat removal capability oContainment pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
o Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
- All required notifications have been made.
- Discussions have been held with Federal, State and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
M-2 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan o At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
,o Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
o, Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.
It is not necessary that all conditions listed above be met; however, all items must be considered prior to entering the recovery phase. For example, it is possible after severe accidents that some conditions remain which exceed an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.
- 2. Recov~ery OrQanization Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the Indian Point Recovery Organization is determined.
For events of a minor nature, (i.e. for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
oFor events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (i.e. for ALERT classifications) the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal Station organization.
For events involving major damage to systems required maintaining safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the Indian Point and Corporate Emergency Center Manager is put in place.
The specific members of the Indian Point Recovery organization are selected based on the sequence of events that preceded the recovery activities as well as the requirements of the recovery phase. The basic framework of the Indian Point Recovery Organization is as follows:
- a. The Corporate Emergency Center Manager is responsible for:
SEnsuring adequate corporate support to maintain Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) units in a safe condition; o Ensuring Site Recovery Director is aware of Entergy Corporate goals and expectations for recovery of IPEC after an event;
°Ensuring adequate support to the site to carry out recovery activities; M-3 M-3 15-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section N: Drill and Exercise Prog~ram.
This section describes the Drill and Exercise Program that Entergy has implemented to:
°Verify the adequacy of the Indian Point Emergency Preparedness Program.
oDevelop, maintain and evaluate the capabilities of the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization to respond to emergency conditions and safeguard the health and safety of Station personnel and the general public.
oIdentify deficiencies in the Plan and the associated Procedures, or in the training of response personnel, and ensure that they are promptly corrected.
- Ensure the continued adequacy of emergency facilities, supplies and equipment, including communications networks.
- 1. Exercises
- a. Federally prescribed Exercises are conducted biennially, which involve implementation of the participants' emergency plan(s) and activation of major portions of participating emergency organizations. Where full participation by offsite agencies occurs, the sequence of events simulates an emergency that results in the release or potential release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. Offsite agencies involved in the planning effort for an emergency at the station shall be invited to participate at least every two years. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis is placed on development and conduct of
. an
.. exercise that is more operationally realistic. Players will be able, by implementing appropriate procedures and corrective actions, to determine the outcome of the scenario to a greater extent than when core damage and the release of radioactivity are prerequisites for demonstration of all objectives.
- b. Exercises provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions. in accordance with the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Eight-Year Exercise Cycle Plan (maintained in accordance with a fleet procedure), exercises are conducted to ensure that all major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness program are demonstrated.

Appendix 4-10150 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS I-UCIO Evacuation planning is based on the identification of both the population to be evacuated and the transportation resources required to accomplish the task. These are the essential data around which the Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) is built. Because the population in the areas to be evacuated can vary with the time of day, the day of the week, the seasons and other factors, a set of fifteen temporal scenarios has been developed for use in the ETE.
These scenarios, prepared for both fair and adverse weather conditions, address variations in the general population, employee population, transient population and special facility (e.g.,
schools, nursing homes, and hospitals) population, as well as variations in roadway conditions. The fifteen evacuation scenarios are:

Sources of data include the 2010 Census, New York agencies, county agencies, a telephone survey and special concern facilities. (See Section 3/Appendix E and Appendix 5-1 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS Section. 5/Appendix F of the ETE for a complete discussion of traffic demand and trip generation time, respectively.)
Following federal guidelines, the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is subdivided into 38 Protective Action Areas. The Protective Action Area definitions are provided in Section II. The Protective Action Areas have been designed so that each can be defined in terms of well-known community names or boundaries. These Protective Action Areas are then grouped to conform with circular areas or "keyhole" configurations (circles plus radial sectors) that define Evacuation Regions for the ETE study.
The Evacuation Regions are defined in Appendix H of the ETE Report. For each Protective Action Area within the EPZ, primary evacuation routes have been identified. Descriptions of the Protective Action Areas and their associated evacuation routes are given in the county plan procedures and in Section 10 and Appendix L of the ETE Report. Listings and maps of reception centers for each Protective Action Area are also included in the county procedures and in Section 10 of the ETE Report.
As part of the public education program associated with the implementation of the County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP), the general public will be provided with materials to enable identification of their residential locations within a given Protective Action Area, thus identifying the recommended evacuation route and reception center as well.
Appendix 5-2 15-02
indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS IL. RTCTV ACTO ARA The plume exposure EPZ for the IPEC has been subdivided into 38 discrete Protective Action Areas as shown in Figure 1. The 2010 US Census permanent resident population estimates for each of the Protective Action Areas are provided in Table 1.
The boundaries of the various Protective Action Areas are described by county in Tables 2 through 5.
Evacuation time estimates by Region for each of the scenarios are presented in Section 7 of the ETE Report. An overview of evacuation time estimates for 90% and 100% of the population within the Protective Action Areas included in the regions defined by the two-mile and five-mile rings and for the full EPZ are provided in Tables 6-A, 6-B and 6-C.
IV. PE$CRIPTION OF THE EVACUATION PLAN*
The evacuation plan comprises four major phases: mobilization, egress, maintenance and re-entry. As a Response Action, the first phase of evacuation-mobilization--may be initiated for an incident classified as an Alert, a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The decision to proceed with the second phase of the plan--egress--will be made as the status of the incident is assessed. The final phases of the plan--
maintenance and re-entry--are applicable only after an evacuation has occurred.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 1: INTRODUCTION Section A:Pups As required by the licensing conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) this document describes the emergency preparedness program for the Entergy Indian Point Units t1, 2 and 3 Generating Stations (Indian Point Energy Center). The philosophy that guides the development and maintenance of this program is the protection of the health and safety of the general public in the communities around the indian Point Energy Center units and the personnel who work at the plant.
The Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan (Plan) outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. This document is not intended to be used as a procedure. Detailed Emergency Plan implementing procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions.
This Plan documents the methods by which Entergyjs Emergency Preparedness Programs meet the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Section 47(b)-and Appendix E.
The Plan is applicable to plant conditions that may cause or may threaten to cause radiological hazards at Units 1, 2 or 3 affecting the health and safety of workers or the public or resulting in damage to property. Unit 1 s defueled and only those areas of Unit I that either store or process radioactive materials (the Fuel Handling Building and waste storage/process areas in the Chemical Systems Building and the Integrated Liquid Radwaste Systems Building) were considered in evaluating radiological hazards.
This Plan is solely dedicated to Indian Point Energy Center and includes details of how Entergy utilizes its resources to assist the plant operating staff during an emergency situation.
Section B: Background Descriotion of the Indian Point Energy. Center Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line, at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan, in upper Westchester County, New York State. The IPEC Site is about 2..5 miles southwest of the City of Peekskill; 8.3 miles south of West Point; 1.5 miles northeast of the Lovett generating station site; 4.6 miles north of the Bowline Point generating station site; and 2.3 miles north of Montrose Point. The Site is approximately 239 acres and contains three pressurized water reactors owned by Entergy. Figures 1.8-1 and 1.8-2 are maps that show the general location of the Site and its environs within a It0-mile and 50-mile radius, respectively.
Exclusion Area Entergy has the authority within the site boundary, called the Exclusion Area, to determine all activities including the exclusion or removal of personnel and property (see Figure 1.3-3).
t II15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan There are no residences within the exclusion area nor are there any public highways or public railroads traversing the exclusion area.
One main and one alternate access roads service the exclusion area. Several other roads interconnect with these two roads. In the event of an evacuation, all vehicular traffic will be directed to the appropriate access road depending on the wind direction, and traffic would exit the site onto Broadway in Buchanan.
Protected Area A Security fence marks th~e perimeter of the Protected Area of the site. Access beyond the fence is restricted to badged employees or escorted visitors. Metal and bomb detectors are located at the Protected Area entrance. All buildings related to plant functions are within the Protected Area security fence.
The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located within the Protected Area boundary for interim dry storage of spent fuel. The HOLTEC spent fuel storage casks are designed to ensure protection of public health and safety through use of physical barriers to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity and through the use of shielding to minimize radiation dose to the public from both normal and off-norma) conditions of operation. The analyses summarized in the HOLTEC Cask UFSAR demonstrate that under assumed accident conditions, the consequences of accidents challenging the integrity of the barriers will not exceed limits established in 10 CFR 72.106.
Popoulation Distribution Approximately 13,000 people live within a two mile radius, approximately 84,000 people live within a five-mile radius and approximately 300,000 within a ten-mile radius of the site based on the 2010 US Census population. A more detailed summ~ary of population distribution can be found in Appendix 5 and the station's Evacuation Time Estimate Study.
The Indian Point Energy Center is surrounded on almost all sides by high ground with elevations ranging from 600 to 1000 feet above sea level. The general orientation of this mass of high ground is northeast to southwest. The Hudso'* River runs northeast to southwest at the Indian Point Energy Center location but tumns sharply northwest approximately two miles north of the plant.
Steep, heavily wooded slopes flank the west bank of the Hudson: the Ounderberg and West Mountains to the northwest (elevation 1086 feet and 1257 feet, respectively) and Buckberg Mountain to the west southwest (elevation 793 feet). Further west are slightly higher peaks.
To the east of the site,-peaks are generally lower: Spitzenberg and Blue Mountains average about 600 feet in elevation, and a weak, poorly defined series of ridges run in a north-northeast direction. The River south of the plant makes another sharp bend to the southeast and then widens as it flows past the towns of Croton and Haverstraw.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Plan..t Unit 1 (615 MWt, defueled), Unit 2 (3216 Mwt) and Unit 3 (3189 Mwt).
Figure 1 .B-3 shows a general layout of the Site.
In a nuclear reactor system, containment is defined as the means of restricting, to sharply defined volumes, the distribution of radioactive materials that are in the process of nuclear fission. The IP-2 and IP-3 units have three containment barriers that exemplify the "Defense in Depth" philosophy.
The first or innermost of the barriers is the fuel rod. This encapsulates the fuel pellets that generate the heat energy and is designed to maintain its integrity for the anticipated core life.
The second containment barrier is the reactor pressure vessel. This pressure vessel contains the fuel rods, grouped into fuel assemblies, and the attached reactor coolant system which is comprised of four steam generators, four cooling pumps, pressurizer, and piping.
The third barrier, called the reactor containment structure, surrounds the reactor coolant system. The reactor containment is a steel-lined reinforced concrete cylinder with a hemispherical dome and a flat base. This outer containment is designed to withstand the internal pressure that accompanies a loss of coolant accident. The structure provides radiation shielding for both normal operations and accident conditions.
" Section C:Scp The primary hazard consideration at the Indian Point Energy Center is the potential
'" unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from* an accident at the site. The probability of such a release is considered very low due to plant design and strict
- operational guidelines enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). However, Federal regulations and common sense require that an emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station, This Plan describes the response of Entergy personnel at the indian Point Energy Center Site during emergencies. It identifies an IPEC Emergency Response Organization (ERO),
describes facilities and equipment, assigns responsibilities and authorities and identifies procedures for responding to emergencies from minor injury to personnel to conditions having offsite radiological consequences. Implementing Procedures have been developed to implement this Plan. These procedures identify the elements of the ERO and the interface with supporting offsite organizations. In addijtion to the Implementing Procedures [
(IF), Plan Administrative Directives (AD) have been developed to ensure proper maintenance of the program. A listing of procedures cross-referenced to sections of the Plan are contained in Appendix 3. Complete copies of the Plan implementing Procedures are maintained in the Control Rooms, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Alternate Emergency Operations Facility. Additional copies of individual procedures are distributed as needed to support the ERO.
Revision 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Plant operating, radiological control and security procedures were considered in the development of this Plan. Reference to these procedures is made where necessary.
Plant operating and emergency procedures are available in the Control Rooms for use by the operating staff. Radiological control procedures are available for use by the Watch Radiation Protection personnel. Procedures that address security requirements during emergencies for the security force are contained in the Security Procedures and Safeguards Documents.
This Plan includes agreements made with offsite organizations that furnish support during emergencies. These agreements are listed in Appendix 2. Specific notification and direction instructions are incorporated into the implementing procedures where necessary.
Elements of the offsite emergency response are specified in the Emergency Plans of New York State, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties.
Section 0: PlanningL~asis The Plan, in conjunction with the implementing and administrative procedures, documents the methods by which the Entergy Emergency Preparedness Program meets the planning standards set forth in 10-CFR-50.47 (b) and the requirements of 10-CFR-50 Appendix E.
Other applicable regulations, publications, and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with site-specific documents to ensure consistency in the planning effrt
" This* plan was developed in coordination with the New York State Office of Emergency
,Management and local county Offices of Emergency Management. These organizations r Rave complementary emergency response plans.
Indian* Point Unita 1&2 previously owned by Consolidated Edison and tndian Point Unit 3 previously owned by the New York Power Authority, were consoliated under one owner, Entergy Corporation in 2001. Much of the planning efforts prior to the consolidation were carried on as a joint venture between the previous owners. In order to further streamline processes, planning efforts and establish standard responses,, this single Plan was developed.
This Plan was developed to respond to and minimize the onsite and offsite impact of an accident at Indian Point Energy Center. The interrelationship between the Site, Corporate, Federal, State and local government organizations is discussed. Protective measures within the exclusion area (onsite) are the responsibility of Entergy. Protective measures outside the exclusion area (offsite) are the responsibility of state and local government authorities. The Onsite and Offsite Emergency Organizations can respond to any incident or accident 24-hours every day. These emergency organizations consist of many subgroups. The responsibilities, authorities and interactions between the subgroups are discussed in Part 2, Section B of this Plan.
This Plan incorporates a classification system for emergencies and prescribes the recommended actions which are recommended to Offsite to be taken to protect the safety of the public, plant personnel and property both onsite and offsite. These actions are 4 4Revision 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan contained in the Plan Implementing Procedures. The Plan addresses the responsibilities of personnel and the available resources.
The State and local government responses to plant-related emergencies outside the exclusion area are coordinated between the New York State Office of Emergency Management and the County Offices of Emergency Management as described in their respective Emergency Plans.
The response to an emergency occurs in three phases.
- 1. The first phase (initial) includes immediate operator actions to maintain or bring the plant to a safe shutdown condition, initiate action to protect onsite personnel, classify the emergency and notify plant personnel and the appropriate offsite authorities. This phase is conducted by watch personnel (refer to Part 2 section 8) with the assistance of other inmhouse personnel as needed.
- 2. The second phase (activation) includes actions to terminate the incident, monitor both onsite and offsite monitoring areas, assess the extent of any release of radioactivity, and disseminate the assessment (estimated exposure information) to offsite authorities.
The second phase is performed under the direction of the Emergency Director at the EOF/AEOF. This phase includes augmenting the Onsite Emergency Organization with support from offsite.
- 3. The third phase (recovery) begins once the emergency is terminated and includes planned actions for re-entry by workers to restore the station to normal operation, assisting offsite authorities return the public evacuated from around the Site, and implementing post accident environmental sampling as needed. This phase is the responsibility of the Site Recovery Director.
Section E:. Governmental Emnergency Planning Entergy works with Federal, State and Local government agencies to insure an integrated emergency response within the Emergency Planning Zones (Figures 1.8-1 and 1.B-2) located around the Indian Point Energy Center.
Section F: Emergency Plan Guidance an Criteria The Indian Point Emergency Plan and related implementing procedures integrates guidance from several governmental and industry standards to provide the best protection of the health and safety of the public. See Appendix 1, References, for a list of documents used in development of this plan.
Section* G: Assistance to NonoEnterav_ Planning Efforts Entergy provides technical assistance and other assistance as required to State and Local Agencies who are involved in the emergency planning effort for Indian Point Energy Center.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan.
Section H: Response Organization This Plan and its associated implementing procedures outline Entergy's responsibilities for the protection of onsite persons. Specific responsibilities, organizations and program implementation are outlined in other sections of this Plan, its associated Implementing Procedures and supporting Administrative Directives.
Section Il: Federal Response The Federal Government has an integrated response plan in the event of a radiological emergency at any facility. Provisions are made within this Plan for the integration of appropriate elements of the federal assistance activities. Arrangements have been made to accommodate a federal response organization presence in the Entergy emergency response facilities as well as support communications between utility and federal emergency facilities. NRC response as described in NUREG-0728, "Concept of Operations: NRC Incident Response", was used in the developmnent of the Plan as guidance to ensure coordination between Entergy and NRC EROs.
Section J: Form and Content of Plan This Plan has been formatted similar to NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation - of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants'-', Revision 1.
Because this Plan is formatted in the same manner as the guidance documnent, no section cross-reference'is needed.
An appendix., is: provided to cross reference implementing Procedures and Administrative Procedures to sections of the Plan.

During an event or emergency at Indian Point Energy Center, the initial phase of the response is conducted by the normal shift complement onsite. The Watch Force, depicted in Figure B-1.1, satisfies the NUREG-0654 requirements for on-shift personnel and on-shift staffing in accord with guidance of NRC's NSlR/DPR-ISG-0I interim staff guidance and NEI 10-05 Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities. An analysis of the IPEC On-Shift staffing was conducted and a final analysis report was issued. The analysis report is available as a separate document. The analysis resulted in a total of thirteen person's on-shift at each unit.
15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Table B-1 presents, in tabular fdrm, the minimum staffing requirements of on-shift personnel and the additional personnel capable of augmenting the on-shift organization within 60 minutes.
Those personnel identified to augment the Watch Force within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher are part of the on-call ERG. These personnel are immediately available during normal working hours or are contacted by an electronic notification system during non-working hours. The electronic notification system is backed up with an automated telephone notification system.
The activation phase consists of Emergency Response Organization (ERO) activation.
This includes the normal watch and personnel needed to staff the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), the Technical Support Center (TSC), the Operations Support Center (OSC) and the Joint Information Center (JIC). This occurs at an Alert classification or higher. A partial or complete ERG activation may be implemented at a NUE classification.
The ERO is capable of performing those activities necessary to:
(1) Maintain control of the plant and mitigate the consequences of the emergency, (2) Conduct accident assessment and analysis to determine the full scope and impact of the situation, (3) Establish and maintain communications with authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures, (4) Conduct a coordinated emergency public information program, and (5) Conduct long-term emergency response activities.
Activation of the ERG gives the Emergency Director full access to the resources of Entergy. In addition to the above listed facilities, corporate resources are made available as needed to support the onsite ERG.
Figures B-i1.2a-d illustrates the Indian Point ERG. Personnel who will fill the positions.
identified are listed in an Emergency Telephone Directory.
- 2. Authority Over indian Point Emeraencv Response Orqanization:
The Shift Manager (or the Control Room Supervisor in the event that the Shift Manager is unavailable), acting as the Emergency Director, has the authority to declare an emergency, immediately takes charge of the emergency response effort and is responsible for offsite dose assessment until relieved by another qualified Emergency Director. Helshe activates the Emergency Response Organization (ERG) as necessary and continues to direct the emergency response until relieved by another qualified Emergency Director.
B-3 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The relieving Emergency Director/Plant Operations Manager (POM) takes charge of the overall emergency response, thus freeing the Shift Manager to direct his/her attention towards the mitigation of the accident using the emergency operating procedures. The Plant Operations Manager holds this position until the on-call Emergency Director arrives.
Overall control of the Onsite Emergency Response Organization is maintained by the Emergency Plant Manager in the TSC. After command and control is transferred to the Emergency Director in the EOF/AEOF, it remains there until the event is terminated.
Although the ERO described in this section of the Plan fulffills the regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the Emergency Director. This alteration would be based on the needs within the ERO during an actual event.
- 3. Succession to Emergiency Director:
The duties and responsibilities of the Emergency Director (ED) are initially assumed by the Shift Manager (CR Supervisor in his/her absence). When the EOF becomes operational, the on-call ED relieves the Shift Manager of ED responsibilities, and overall command and control of the emergency is transferred to the EOF. The Plant Operations Manager (POM) relieves the on-shift ED until such time as the EOF is operational. The POM must remain in the Control Room.
The position of on-call Emergency Director is normally staffed by high level station management personnel.
- 4. Emerg~ency Director Responsibilities:
The Emergency Director is responsible for directing and coordinating the integrated emergency response effort of all Company activities during the emergency including those which originate from Corporate Headquarters. Personnel trained in accordance with this plan and qualified as Emergency Directors are designated in an Emergency Telephone Directory. The Emergency Director is stationed in the Emergency Operations Facility during an Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency and is the interface between the onsite and off site authorities. He/she has the responsibility and authority to provide Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) to the authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
Specific responsibilities of the Emergency Director include:
Declares and upgrades the emergency as warranted and initiates recovery phase when appropriate (non-delegable);
- , Reviews and approves notifications to the State and Local authorities (non-delegable);
0Recommend protective actions for the general public to offsite authorities (non-delegable);

Co2 Q~-2 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section D: Emergency Classification System This section describes the classification and emergency action level scheme used to determine the minimum response to an abnormal event at the Station. This scheme is based on Indian Point Energy Center Units 2 & 3 Systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures. The initial response of Federal, State and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization. Indian Point Energy Center emergency planning personnel work closely with State and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces.
Indian Point Energy Center maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and promptly declares the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.
- 1. Emercqency Classification:
This Plan is based on consideration of conceivable consequences of potential situations ranging from incidents where effects on plant and personnel are negligible to highly unlikely releases of radjioactivity, which could affect .members of the public. The emergency classification of these~ conditions, both radiotogical and non-radiological, indicates the relative severity for immediate implementation of response actions. The four (4) major classifications increase in"overall severity from Notification of Unusual Event (least severe),
Alert, Site AreaEmergency;~GeneraI Emergency (most severe).
These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. Each classification is characterized by certain initiating symptoms or events called Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These action levels include specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) or events that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. A brief explanation of the four classification levels follows:
Notficti nto Nsu vetNUE*
A Notification of Unusual Event classification is used to denote events that 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 off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
Dq 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan This is the least severe of the four (4) classifications. The purpose of this classification is primarily notification. These notifications provide for (1) assurance that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been carried out, (2) bringing the operating staff to a state of readiness, and (3) providing systematic handling of unusual events information and decision making.
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:
a) Notification of State and local offsite authorities within 15 minutes of classifying the event; b) Required Station Management and the NRC are informed of the nature of the unusual condition; c) Optional augmentation of on-shift resources as needed, which may include full or partial staffing of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and/or the Joint Information Center; d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR f) Close out with verbal summary to offsite authorities 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 />.
State and local offsi e :authoities would, as directed by their respective Emergency..
Plans: ..
a) Provide fire or security-assistance if requested b) Escalate to a more severe ;class, if appropriate; OR..
c) Standby until a verbal closeout, Alert An Alert classification indicates events are in progress or have occurred which involv~e 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 the Alert is to (1) ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and .(2) provide the offsite authorities with current information on plant status and parameters. Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses will exceed 10 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 10 mRem/hr external exposure rate.
The Shift Manager/Emergency Director will ensure:
D-2 D-2!5-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan a) Initiation of activation of the Emergency Response Organization which results in the staffing of the Technical Support Center,. Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and the Joint Information Center; b) Notification of State and local offsite authorities within 15 minutes of classifying the event; c) Prompt notification of the NRC (not to exceed one hour);
d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Dispatch of field monitoring teams and establish associated communications, as necessary; f) Periodic plant status updates are provided to offsite authorities (approximately every 30 minutes or period agreed upon with off site authorities);
g) Meteorological assessments are provided to offsite authorities and, if any releases are occurring, dose estimates for actual release; h) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR i)Close out in emergency class by verbal discussion with offsite authorities followed by written summary within eight (8) hours of entering recovery after an Alet or higher classified event.-

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The Indian Point Energy Center policy on Classification downgrading is as follows:
All events once declared shall remain in effect until: 1. Such time as conditions warrant termination of the event and entry into the Recovery Phase or 2. the event is re-classified at a higher level.
- 2. EmerQency Action Levels:
The postulated accidents analyzed in each units' Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), the example initiating conditions found in NEI 99-01 REV 5 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" were evaluated to establish an emergency classification and emergency action level scheme. NE) 99-01 REV 5 has been accepted by the NRC as an alternative to NUREG-0654-REV 1.
This classification scheme is presented in six categories of EALs, which show the parameters for establishing each emergency classification.
The specific instruments, parameters or equipment statuses that identify the overall severity of the emergency condition and the actions to be taken by the facility staff are identified in the Plan Implementing Procedures. The Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are grouped into six categories to simplify their presentation and promote a rapid understanding by their users. (See Table Do1 for a description of each of the EAL initiating conditions for each EAL category). * ..
These categories are:o (1) Abnormal Rad Release/Rad Effluent,-
(2) Hazards (3) ISFSi (4) Systems (5) Fission Product Barriers (6) Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction Table D-I, Summary of IPEC EAL Initiating Conditions, provides a description of the initiating conditions associated with the above categories which would cause the Plan to be implemented. Detailed emergency action levels are provided in a Plan Implementing Procedure and an associated EAL Technical Bases Administrative Procedure.
lndian Point Energy Center works with the State of New York and local authorities to ensure consistency between classification schemes. The content of the Emergency Action Levels is reviewed with the State and local authorities on an annual basis.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion 11.8.5 states that the "licensee must be able tol augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency". The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It~
is Entergy's intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals!
regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals!
capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Entergy realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations' staff, possible adverse weather conditions and road congestion, these time frames might be exceeded.
These time frames may also be exceeded during a Security event.
ERG membersnotification an electronic who are away systemfrom the phone and/or site when an An calls. event is declared automated are notified via notification system makes individual calls to members of the ERG. Once notified, ERG members respond to their assigned facilities immediately.
Mobilization of federal, state, and local response organizations is performed in accordance with their applicable emergency plan and procedures. At a minimum, mobilization of federal response organizations and activation of state and county EOCs is expected to occur at the declaration of an Alert.
The state and local authorities are responsible for the process of notification of their personnel and the general public..
- 3. Initial Notification:
An Initial Notification using Part I of the' New .York State Radiological Emergency Data Form shall be used to transmit information o0 appropriate State and local agencies within fifteen (15) minutes of any of the following:

E-6 15-02 E-6
Indian P5oint Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 6. Notification of the Public:
The State and local government organizations have the capability for providing an alert signal (sirens) to their population within fifteen (15) minutes following the decision to take a protective action.
The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is operated by local government agencies and maintained by Entergy. The design of the ANS includes backup power capability in accordance with NRC Order EA-05-1 90, dated January 31,2006 (Section IV~ll: Al -
A5 and 81 - 83). In cooperation with offsite agencies, Entergy personnel test the system periodically. System testing and preventive maintenance requirements include those specified in Section IV.Il: A6 and C4 - C5 of the Order. Any system discrepancies are promptly repaired.
The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is composed of 172 sirens and the RECS phone for the US Military Academy. Those are supplemented with individual alerting devices for residences and special facilities in EPZ areas where acoustic coverage is reduced.
The sirens are electronic. They are activated from each County EQO or Warning Point via simultaneous radio and TCP/IP signals. The county EOCs and Warning Points and IPEC have the same capability for siren activation.
The system design consists of 172 sirens with a distribution as follows:
0, Westchester - 77 oRockland - 56 o* Orange - ,23:
- Putnam - 16 Periodic testing and maintenance of the ANS is performed in accordance with approved procedures. Periodic testing includes:

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section I: Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Indian Point Energy Center, diligent accident assessment efforts are required throughout the emergency. All four emergency classifications have similar assessment methods; however, each classification requires a greater magnitude of assessment effort dependent upon the plant symptoms and/or initiating event(s).
In the case of a Notification of Unusual Event, the assessment and coordination of efforts are handled through the Control Room, with additional support as identified by the Shift Manager. During Alert, Site Area and General Emergencies the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Joint Information Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility are activated. Technical Support Center personnel assist the watch personnel in the assessment of the accident and recommend appropriate steps to mitigate the accident. The Operations Support Center assists with in field inspections of plant equipment. The Emergency Operations Facility personnel continue the evaluation of offsite consequences started by the Shift Manager. The Joint Information Center provides interface with the public. The Emergency Operations Facility, when activated, maintains contact with the Control Room and contact with the offsite agencies, and then provides an overview of the assessment actions taken at various classifications levels as follows:
Notification of Unusual Event The existence of conditions which would be classified under this heading is brought to the attention of Control Room Operators by (a) meteorological reports, (b) indications and alarms in the Control Room monitoring plant parameters, (c) indications from fire, seismic or security detection systems, or (d) observations by plant personnel.
Depending upon the particular circumstances of the event, the Shift Manager takes one or more of the following actions to assess the severity of the situation: request clarification and periodic update of meteorological information received from offsite source; monitor Control Room indications more closely; request the plant security force to investigate the matter further and report their findings; dispatch member(s) of the watch force to personally inspect areas of the p'lant; request assistance from the plant operations staff and/or Entergy's Engineering Departments in evaluating data; and make personnel observations (e~g. assessing the intensity and extent of fire). With regard to accidental releases of radioactivity within plant buitdings, the Shift Manager would evaluate the alarm received with respect to other radiation monitors and process instrumentation readouts in the Control Room, Radiation Protection personnel could be sent into the affected plant area to make observations and evaluate radiation levels.
LI 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Alert For emergency situations that are classified as Alerts, the Shift Manager/Emergency Director evaluates information available in the Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and status of safeguards equipment.
The Shift Manager or Plant Operations Manager, acting as the Emergency Director at the start of the emergency, and the on call Emergency Director after taking over control at the Emergency Operations Facility, will continually direct assessment of the relative condition of the three fission product barriers and radiological conditions onsite and offsite.
During Alerts with radiological concerns, radiological assessment actions are initiated as described under the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency part of this section.
Site Area Emerqency and General Emergec For emergency situations that are classified as Site Area Emergencies or General Emergencies, the Shift Manager/Emergency Director evaluates information available in the. Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and the status of safeguards equipment.
An immediate assessrnent- of the projected exposure to the offsite populace is made by using Dose Assessment Computer Programs or by using an implementing Procedure which includes determining a source term, release rate, radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment and projected exposure to the whole body and thyroid
- of individuals exposed to the plume.. The specifics of these are as follows:
The source, term is deterrmined from the R-25 and R-26 accident monitor instruments, indicating radioactivity in the containment building released from the reactor core.
,, The release rate is determined from the Plant Vent Monitor, Air Ejector Monitor or the
- Main Steam Line Monitors. Should the plant vent monitors read off-scale or be
- inoperable, contact field measurements are taken on the plant vent and a procedure is available to convert the mR/hr reading to an equivalent radioactive concentration for noble gases and radioiodine.
,* The radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment are determined first by calculation and then by actual measurement. The calculations are done by computer or by hand, utilizing the Implementing Procedures:
SThe calculation is performed using an equation that utilizes the release rate, dilution factor and wind speed. The dilution factor is obtained from a table, in the computer program or Implementing Procedure, corresponding to the current meteorological data.
SMeasurements are made by offsite monitoring teams who go to selected points and perform field surveys and air sampling. The air samples are counted and the activity calculated, 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- The projected thyroid exposures are obtained from calculations that convert radioactive concentrations to mRem/hour and measurements taken in the field. Whole body exposures are as indicated by the field surveys.
This assessment is updated based on air sampling and field surveys performed by offsite monitoring teams using radio and cell phone equipped vehicles under the direction of the Emergency Director. The area within a 10-mile EPZ is divided into 16 equal 221/2° sectors.
In each sector, Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) has been installed at strategic locations.
A number of strategically located continuous air sampling sites may also be used to evaluate the exposure for the population at large.
The Emergency Director transmits updated assessment information to the New York State Office of Emergency Management and to the Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Orange County Emergency Management Offices.
Radioactive contamination assessment is performed after a release is terminated. The ongoing Indian Point Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program described in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is utilized to determine the extent of contamination.
Radiological assessment personnel in accordance with a Plan Implementing Procedure calculate total population dose. This calculation and others utilize established demographic information in combination with the DLR, bioassays, and projected dose distributions to obtain total population exposure within the 10-mile EPZ.
- 1. Plant Parameters andCorrespondinQ mecencv Classification
- a. Plant system and effluent parameter values are utilized in the determination of accident severity and subsequent emergency classification. Environmental and
+meteorological events are also determining factors in emergency classification.
- b. An emergency condition can be the result of just one parameter or condition change, or the combination of several. The specific symptoms, parameter values or events for each level of emergency classification are detailed in the Implementing Procedures.
- c. In order to adequately assess the emergency condition, each emergency facility has the necessary equipment and instrumentation installed to make available essential plant information on a continuous basis. The types of instrumentation and equipment capabilities available for each emergency facility are described in Section H of the Plan.
15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Onite Acciden~tAssessmentQCapablities In addition to normal plant monitoring systems and procedures, the following systems are provided for accident assessment:
- a. Sampling System Plant design includes the capability to sample the reactor coolant system, the discharge of )the recirculation and residual heat removal pumps, and the containment atmosphere.
Facilities for the radiation protection and chemistry groups include laboratory and calibration rooms for both conventional and radio chemical analyses.
- b. Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors Indian Point Energy Center has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of inplant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PRM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow inplant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring focal hand-held meter surveys. This information may be used, initially, to aid in the determination of plant area accessibility. The Process Radiation Monitors provide an immediate indication of a radiological release of effluents. The Process Radiation Monitor readings can be used as an input into the dose assessment computer programs that display the projected whole body and child thyroid exposures to~the populace in the plume exposure pathway.
- c. Containment Radiation Monitors and Hydirogen Monitor Containment Radiation Monitors and/or Hydrogen Monitors along with Core Exit Thermocouples may provide an early indication of core damage. These monitor readings are utilized as a method for core damage determination. This is accomplished through use of established procedures based on Westinghouse Owners Group guidance. The core damage estimate obtained from the procedures may also be used to confirm the core damage results obtained through isotopic analysis. These monitors also allow for the evaluation of a potential radiological release.
- 3. Release Source Term Determination
- a. The potential for release of radioactive material and the magnitude of the release can be assessed through use of the Containment Radiation Monitors and Process Monitors. The Containment Monitoring System readings can be used to estimate the percentage of core damage and establish the total number of curies available for release.
- b. If a liquid or gaseous release occurs, the routine or high range process monitors will indicate the release rate. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.
Radiation monitors are located as described in the U2 & U3 FSARs. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use of computer programs.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 4. Effluent Monitor Data and Dose Assessment:
The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates is accomplished through use of the dose assessment computer codes. These programs allow for the direct input of effluent monitor and meteorological data. The computer will generate release rates, projected dose rates and doses to the whole body and thyroid as well as downwind noble gas and particulate concentrations via the plume exposure pathway. The computer software also has the capability of performing multiple accident dose assessment involving simultaneous releases from one or both of the Indian Point Energy Center units. Dose projections may also be performed without the use of a computer through a series of hand calculations. Indian Point Energy Center uses ground releases to conduct dose assessment.
Entergy has procured and installed computer based systems, which are capable of:
- a. Calculating the dispersion path of radioactive material if released to the atmosphere by the plant;
- b. Obtaining meteorological information fromn a primary and backup meteorological tower, thus providing assurance that basic meteorological information is available during and immediately following on accidental airborne radioactivity release;
- c. Calculating the radiological consequences of accidental radioactive releases to the atmosphere;
- d. Providing simultaneous real-time meteorological data for estimation of transport and diffusion estimates of a release in the vicinity of the site. This information is available to the licensee, offsite emergency response organizations and the NRC Staff, via telephone computer access;
- e. Obtaining additional radiological and meteorological inputs that assist in defining the site generated dispersion path calculations.
- 5. Meteorologiical Information:
Meteorological data is available from the station meteorological tower. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, stability class (Pasquill)o This data is utilized by the licensee, locals, State and other Federal Agencies to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion. Section H.9 provides more details on the Meteorological Monitoring System.
- 6. Unmonitored Release:
During an actual release via an unmonitored flow path or in situations in which effluent monitors are either off scale or inoperative, dose projections can be made through use of actual sample data and/or field monitor team readings.
15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 7. Offsite Monitorinci:
In the event of an airborne or liquid release, the station maintains the resources and capabilities to take air, soil, water, and vegetation samples as well as to directly measure gamma dose rates. Samples are taken at locations specified by the Radiological Assessment Coordinator. Environmental measurements are utilized as an aid in the determination of protective and recovery actions for the general public.
A Reuter Stokes Radiation Monitoring System consisting of a network of monitors is installed in each of the 16 sectors around the Indian Point Energy Center Site at a distance of 0.5 to 2.5 miles. These devices will continuously telemeter, via radio, radiation level readings to a computer system, which can be accessed in the EOF, AFOF, IPEC Central Control Rooms and local and State EOCs.
Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) - DLR's are deployed in three (3) rings at approximately 2, 5 and 10 miles from the site. DLR's are sensitive to Gamma radiation and are gathered and read periodically. There are approximately 57 DLR's distributed within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone for Indian Point Energy Center.
Air Samplers are deployed at a number of the sampling sites. They are constantly in operation and pass ambient air through a series of filters that are capable of trapping radioactive iodine and other radioisotopes in the air. The filters are periodically removed and analyzed by Entergy personnel.
- 8. Offsite Monitoringi Teams:
Offsite Monitoring Teams are available at an Alert or higher classification to make rapid assessments of the actual or potential magnitude and location of any radiological hazards from the liquid or gaseous release pathways. These teams are composed of two individuals qualified to perform radiological monitoring.
Monitoring teams establish and maintain direct radio or phone communications with the Emergency Operations Facility fEOF). An Offsite Team Coordinator in the EOF controls the teams. The teams locate and monitor the radioactive plume while taking air samples as directed.
Offsite teams utilize portable equipment during an emergency to gather data from any of the sixty-one predesignated emergency sampling locations around the Indian Point Energy Center Site. Large-scale maps showing the locations are in the Control Room and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) or AEOF, for use by the Emergency Director. Readings taken by these teams are relayed back to the site via radio or phone communications.

Radiological monitoring of personnel, their possessions and their automobiles would be performed by Radiation Protection or trained monitoring personnel using instrumentation that is normally available or specifically assigned for this purpose.
Personnel may be evacuated/released as part of the general public to offsite relocation centers designated by offsite authorities.
- 4. Assembly_ & Evacuation:
Relocation outside the Protected Area and/or evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments.
Non-essential personnel (personnel not assigned emergency response functions, contractors and visitors) are directed to assemble at pre-designated assembly areas at the Alert or higher classification. The primary assembly area is the Indian Point Energy Center Generation Support Building fGSB) and the Energy Education Center (EEC).
The Indian Point Energy Center Training Center serves as the back-up assembly area and may be used during periods of high volume, such as an outage. Personnel assigned emergency response functions respond to their assigned emergency facilities.
Assembly areas and evacuation routes are described in the Implementing Procedures.
...Assembly areas are located to assure that personnel are not in the path of the plume.
Each assembly area has a telephone. The assembly areas (G*SB and IPEC Training.
'Building) are within the range of the plant paging system.
Evacuation / release of non-essential Indian Point Energy Center personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The Emergency Director may release personnel at a lower classification.
At the declaration of an Alert, all personnel are relocated from within the Protected Area. At a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency all individuals within the Protected Area are accounted for and the names of missing individuals are identified within 30 minutes of a declared emergency. Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event, unless conditions allow suspension in the later stages of the event. Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated. Accountability is coordinated between the OSC Manager and Security. The results are forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager and/or Emergency Director.
Accountability could be suspended if movement of personnel would place them in more danger than leaving them in place, such as outside weather conditions or security events.
Personnel who are assembled outside the protected area are given further instructions.
These instructions may include sheltering in place, evacuation or, individuals may be requested to assist the ERO in accident mitigation.

J-3 J-3 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public:
Plant conditions, projected whole body gamma and thyroid doses, and/Dr field monitoring data are evaluated to develop protective action recommendations for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to the general public. Protective action recommendations for the plume exposure pathway are based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R-92-001 - "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Supplement 3, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, Guidance for Protective Action Strategies".
Protective action recommendations are made directly to the State and local agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. The Emergency Director makes protective action recommendations.
Recommendations issued by indian Point Energy Center at a General Emergency based on plant conditions include as a minimum, evacuation in the two (2) mile radius and five (5). miles downwind and advising the remainder of the EPZ population to monitor EAS messages for further direction. The indian Point Entergy Center's ratiporiale and methodology for plant-based and dJose-based protective action recommendations has been coordinated with local and state response organizations as required by NUJREG-0654, Supplement 3.
- 8. Evacuation Time Estimates:
An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, of the time required to evacuate commercial, resident and transient populations (see Appendix 5).
- 9. Protective Measure Implementation:
State and local agencies are responsible for implementing offsite protective actions.
These actions are included in the State and County Emergency Plans. Entergy is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the offsit~e authorities.
- 10. Factors Affecting Protective Measure Implementation The State, and County emergency plans used to implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
J-4 J-4 15-02
indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- a. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation Protective Action Areas, reception centers in host areas, and congregate care centers have been developed as part of the state and local plans. Pre-selected sampling and monitoring points have also been identified.
- b. The population distribution around Indian Point Energy Center is presented in the Evacuation Time Estimate.
- c. Section E of this Plan describes how offsite agencies are notified in the event the Plan is activated. State and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure EPZ.
- d. State and local organizations have the capability to protect those persons where mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement.
At the time of an emergency, transportation requirement of special needs persons (including mobility impaired) is verified. Mobility impaired will be notified of a protective action via the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
- e. An adequate supply of potassium iodide (KI) is available for distribution by state and local organizations to special facility staff and patients/residents where immediate evacuation would be life threatening. Authority for use of radioprotective drugs rests with the NY Health Department.
- f. State and local organization plans include the method by which decisions are made for administering r~dioprotective drugs to emergency workers. The distribution of radioprbte',tive drugs to the general public has been authorized by the State. Each individual County's Emergency Plan addresses Pre and Post distribution of Radioprotective drugs,.
- g. State and local'organizations have the capability of providing a means of relocation for the gene*,l population. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, driving out 6f the EPZ using designated evacuation routes. Transportation dependent persons will be instructed through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to go to a pickup point or bus route for transportation to a recept~ion center.
- h. State and local organizations are capable of providing reception centers in host areas that are beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.
i.Projected traffic capacities have been determined for evacuation routes under emergency conditions. Section 4 of the Evacuation Time Estimate provides discussion regarding capacity.
- j. Federal, State and local organizations have the responsibility for the control of access to evacuated areas. Personnel from New York State Police and local police departments' staff access control points. The New York Highway Department and local public works departments provide necessary equipment to support access control. The U. S. Coast guard would assist in patrolling the Hudson River areas.
- k. Potential impediments to the use of evacuation routes and contingency measures for such impediments have been identified in local emergency plans.
J*5 J~5 t 5-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan I. Time estimates for evacuation of various groupings of Protective Action Areas have been performed, under various conditions for the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.
- m. The basis for dose driven protective action recommendations are as follows:
If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs and timely evacuation is feasible, then evacuation is recommended. If timely evacuation is not feasible, (i.e. time required for mobilization, warning and evacuation transit is greater than time before plume arrival), then State authorities may direct sheltering in place.
Additionally, if the sheltering dose exceeds the PAG but is less than the projected evacuation dose, then sheltering is considered. A shielding factor of 0.9 is conservatively assumed in the calculation of the sheltering dose. This factor (from SANDIA 77-1725) represents the shielding afforded by a wood frame house. The decision to shelter is the responsibility of the offsite authorities.
- 11. Incqestion Pathway Protective Measures:
The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
- 12. Monitoring of Evacuees:
The State and local- organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers at host communities. This capability includes personnel and equipment capable of monitoring residents and transients evacuating from the plume exposure EPZ and arriving at the reception centers, in accordance with FEMA guidelines.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section K: Rjdio~oqicaj.Exposure ContrOI This section of the Plan describes the means for controlling emergency worker radiological exposures during an emergency, as well as the measures that are used by Entergy to provide necessary assistance to persons injured or exposed to radiation andtor radioactive materials. Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides, EPA 400-R-92-001.
The general guideline for emergency personnel exposure will be to keep it as low as reasonably achievable.
- 1. Emergrency Exposure Guidelines:
Radiation exposure in an emergency is controlled taking every reasonable effort to minimize exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of I10CFR2O limits. Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to the general public, or the prevention of damage to critical equipment may be sufficient cause for above normal exposures. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency activities:

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
- 2. Emeraencv Radiological Control Program:a_*
The Radiological Assessment .Coordinator (EOF) and the Rad/Chem Coordinator (OSO) ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions, that exposure accountability is maintained, and that personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated. Plan Implementing Procedures detail the emergency radiological controls utilized during emergencies. Radiation protection guidelines during emergencies include the following:
- Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Remn 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.
- 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.
oExposure accountability is maintained and proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions,
- , Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Radiation Assessment Coordina or-(EOF).or RadlChem Coordinator (OSC), and personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated.
Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the faciliy is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize exposure to {adiation and radioactive materials.
Alternate assembly areas are established, as necessary, to relocate and .monitor evacuated personnel.
Potassium Iodide (KI) shall be used in accordance with New York State Policy for issuance of KI. If the risk of using KI outweighs the benefit, KI may not be issued. KI is stored in onsite Emergency Response Facilities.

The responsibility for authorizing non-Entergy emergency workers (i.e. State and local agency emergency workers such as Fire Department, Police or Medical teams sent to the site) to receive exposures in excess of the EPA Emergency Worker Protective Action Guides rests with the respective State and lo~al organization.
- 5. Decontamination and First Aid
- a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by Rad/Chem-Ooordinator or the- Radiological Assessment Coordinator should conditions warrant.
- b. Decontamination materials and portable first-aid kits are stored within the Protected Area and at the EOF / Warehouse Complex. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination is initially treated by an on-shift first responder or EMT if available. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries such as extensive burns, serious wounds or fractures, in preference to decontamination. If the injury permits, all reasonable effort is made to decontaminate the individual prior to movement. If decontamination is impractical, the patient is covered in such a manner as to minimize the spread of contamination until medical aid can be obtained or the patient can be hospitalized.
K-3 K-3 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan The Verplanck Fire Department ambulance is the primary provider of prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, if a Radiation Protection Technician (RP) is available, then one will be assigned to accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance and hospital personnel.
Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the New York-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital (primary), to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center (backup) or another equipped medical facility. Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle radiologically contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. Radiation Protection personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.
- 6. Contamination Control Measures
- a. Areas in the plant found to be contaminated are isolated as restricted areas with appropriate radiological protection and access control as directed by the Rad/Chem Coordinator.
- b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination, frpm restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive, contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in all Emergency Respoose facilities until such time as habitability surveys indicate that such activities a~e permissib~le.
- c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use w*heni contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
- 7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel:
Non-essential onsite personnel are released from the Protected Area during an emergency, if radiological concerns occur. Radiation Protection personnel and/or portal monitors are used to monitor personnel released from the Protected Area and decontamination is performed, as needed. Existing and temporary facilities to limit contamination and exposure will be utilized and established at the site as necessary during an emergency situation. In the event that decontamination of onsite personnel locally is not possible, personnel will be sent to a county emergency worker monitoring and decontamination center for monitoring and decontamination. Provisions for extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminates are available.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Part 2: PLANNINGSTANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section M: Re-entry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for re-entry into the areas of indian Point Energy Center that have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the Indian Point Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.
- 1. Re-entry and Recovery:
Re-entry:
During an emergency, immediate actions are directed toward limiting the consequences of the accident, so as to afford maximum protection to Station personnel and the general public. Once corrective measures have been taken and effective control of the plant has been re-established, a more methodical approach to re-entry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides re-entry into two separate categories:
Re-entry during the emergency phase of an accident is performed to save a life, control a release of radioactive material, prevent further damage to plant equipment or restore plant equipment. If necessary, this category of re-entry may be performed using emergency exposure limits. Briefings and emergency forms, rather than written radiation protection procedures, operating procedures and maintenance procedures can be used when making these entries.
The Shift Manager and/or the Control Room Supervisor direct re-entry activities prior to activation of the Emergency Facilities. Once the TSC/OSC has been activated, all re-entry activities conducted during the emergency are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager (EPM) and coordinated through the Operations Support Center.
Re-entry during the recovery phase is performed using normal exposure limits.
Either normal procedures or procedures developed specifically for each re-entry are utilized.
The Site Recovery Director or the station's normal management organization oversees the re-entry. Generally, site problems are addressed first to make the site tenable for workers; with a series of radiation surveys to establish accessibility and then steps are taken restore the station to normal operations.
All data gathered from re-entry operations and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed.
The plan is to return plant conditions to within Technical Specification limits and it may include detailed schedules, specialized equipment and personnel, preparing procedures for decontamination, processing highly radioactive water, repairing equipment, and purchasing equipment. A station nuclear safety/review committee reviews and approves recovery operations in accordance with its charter and the Technical Specifications.
rvi 02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Recovery:
Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition, Radiation exposure to personnel involved in the recovery will be kept at a minimum and within the stated limits of 10 CFR 20. Radiation ar'eas will be roped off and posted with warning signs indicating radiation levels and permissible entry times based on survey results. Access to these areas will be controlled, and exposures to personnel entering such areas documented. Shielding will be employed to the fullest extent possible. Survey results, interviews of individuals with direct knowledge of recent conditions in the affected area(s) and all other pertinent information collected from logs and other records or indicators in the Control Room and in the Emergency Operations Facility may be used to evaluate the advisability and the timing of re-entry to affected areas.
The Emergency Director, after consulting with the EOF Manager, Company Spokesperson, the Emergency Plant Manager and the Plant Operations Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the station is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:
0Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? if so, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
oRadioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
- The radioactive plume has dissipated and plume tracking is no longer required.
The only environmental assessment activities in progress are those necessary to assess the extent of deposition resulting from passage of the plume.
o In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
oThe potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
a The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available and adequate. There is no foreseeable danger of losing heat removal capability oContainment pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
o Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
- All required notifications have been made.
- Discussions have been held with Federal, State and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
M-2 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan o At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
,o Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
o, Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.
It is not necessary that all conditions listed above be met; however, all items must be considered prior to entering the recovery phase. For example, it is possible after severe accidents that some conditions remain which exceed an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.
- 2. Recov~ery OrQanization Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the Indian Point Recovery Organization is determined.
For events of a minor nature, (i.e. for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
oFor events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (i.e. for ALERT classifications) the Indian Point Emergency Response Organization, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal Station organization.
For events involving major damage to systems required maintaining safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the Indian Point and Corporate Emergency Center Manager is put in place.
The specific members of the Indian Point Recovery organization are selected based on the sequence of events that preceded the recovery activities as well as the requirements of the recovery phase. The basic framework of the Indian Point Recovery Organization is as follows:
- a. The Corporate Emergency Center Manager is responsible for:
SEnsuring adequate corporate support to maintain Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) units in a safe condition; o Ensuring Site Recovery Director is aware of Entergy Corporate goals and expectations for recovery of IPEC after an event;

oIdentify deficiencies in the Plan and the associated Procedures, or in the training of response personnel, and ensure that they are promptly corrected.
- Ensure the continued adequacy of emergency facilities, supplies and equipment, including communications networks.
- 1. Exercises
- a. Federally prescribed Exercises are conducted biennially, which involve implementation of the participants' emergency plan(s) and activation of major portions of participating emergency organizations. Where full participation by offsite agencies occurs, the sequence of events simulates an emergency that results in the release or potential release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. Offsite agencies involved in the planning effort for an emergency at the station shall be invited to participate at least every two years. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis is placed on development and conduct of
. an
.. exercise that is more operationally realistic. Players will be able, by implementing appropriate procedures and corrective actions, to determine the outcome of the scenario to a greater extent than when core damage and the release of radioactivity are prerequisites for demonstration of all objectives.
- b. Exercises provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions. in accordance with the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Eight-Year Exercise Cycle Plan (maintained in accordance with a fleet procedure), exercises are conducted to ensure that all major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness program are demonstrated.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS I-UCIO Evacuation planning is based on the identification of both the population to be evacuated and the transportation resources required to accomplish the task. These are the essential data around which the Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) is built. Because the population in the areas to be evacuated can vary with the time of day, the day of the week, the seasons and other factors, a set of fifteen temporal scenarios has been developed for use in the ETE.
These scenarios, prepared for both fair and adverse weather conditions, address variations in the general population, employee population, transient population and special facility (e.g.,
schools, nursing homes, and hospitals) population, as well as variations in roadway conditions. The fifteen evacuation scenarios are:

Sources of data include the 2010 Census, New York agencies, county agencies, a telephone survey and special concern facilities. (See Section 3/Appendix E and Appendix 5-1 15-02
Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS Section. 5/Appendix F of the ETE for a complete discussion of traffic demand and trip generation time, respectively.)
Following federal guidelines, the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is subdivided into 38 Protective Action Areas. The Protective Action Area definitions are provided in Section II. The Protective Action Areas have been designed so that each can be defined in terms of well-known community names or boundaries. These Protective Action Areas are then grouped to conform with circular areas or "keyhole" configurations (circles plus radial sectors) that define Evacuation Regions for the ETE study.
The Evacuation Regions are defined in Appendix H of the ETE Report. For each Protective Action Area within the EPZ, primary evacuation routes have been identified. Descriptions of the Protective Action Areas and their associated evacuation routes are given in the county plan procedures and in Section 10 and Appendix L of the ETE Report. Listings and maps of reception centers for each Protective Action Area are also included in the county procedures and in Section 10 of the ETE Report.
As part of the public education program associated with the implementation of the County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP), the general public will be provided with materials to enable identification of their residential locations within a given Protective Action Area, thus identifying the recommended evacuation route and reception center as well.
Appendix 5-2 15-02
indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS IL. RTCTV ACTO ARA The plume exposure EPZ for the IPEC has been subdivided into 38 discrete Protective Action Areas as shown in Figure 1. The 2010 US Census permanent resident population estimates for each of the Protective Action Areas are provided in Table 1.
The boundaries of the various Protective Action Areas are described by county in Tables 2 through 5.
Evacuation time estimates by Region for each of the scenarios are presented in Section 7 of the ETE Report. An overview of evacuation time estimates for 90% and 100% of the population within the Protective Action Areas included in the regions defined by the two-mile and five-mile rings and for the full EPZ are provided in Tables 6-A, 6-B and 6-C.
IV. PE$CRIPTION OF THE EVACUATION PLAN*
The evacuation plan comprises four major phases: mobilization, egress, maintenance and re-entry. As a Response Action, the first phase of evacuation-mobilization--may be initiated for an incident classified as an Alert, a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The decision to proceed with the second phase of the plan--egress--will be made as the status of the incident is assessed. The final phases of the plan--
maintenance and re-entry--are applicable only after an evacuation has occurred.
