PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Part 1: INTRODUCTION Section A: Purpose This document describes the emergency preparedness program for Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). The terms "PNPS" and "plant" as used in this document include the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), except where it is obvious by usage or context that the term only applies to the power plant. The term "facility," when used to describe the nuclear power plant also includes the ISFSI. 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 PNPS and the personnel who work at the plant.

The PNPS Emergency 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 PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions.

This Plan documents the methods by which the PNPS Emergency Preparedness Program meets the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CER), Part 50, Section 47(b) and Appendix E.

Section B: Background PNPS is located in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at 410 56.69 min. North, 70° 34.74 min. West. It is situated on the western coast of Cape Cod Bay, on approximately 1600 acres of land, owned by Entergy. The plant is a General Electric Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design and produces a net electrical output of 689 megawatts. A detailed description of the plant is given in the PNPS Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). The ISFSI consists of HI-STORM vertical dry spent fuel storage casks on a concrete slab located within the protected area. A detailed description of the HI-STORM storage casks is given in the HI-STORM 100 Cask System FSAR.

The primary hazard consideration at PNPS is the potential unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from an accident at the plant. 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 a solid emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station.

10 CFR 72.32 specifies the regulatory requirements for an ISFSI emergency plan. In accordance with 10 CFR 72.32(c), the emergency plan for a nuclear power reactor satisfies the requirements for an emergency plan for an ISFSI which is located within the exclusion area of the nuclear power reactor, and therefore a separate ISFSI emergency plan is not required.

vii viiRevision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section C: Scope This document describes actions to be taken in the event of an accident at PNPS which might lead to impact on the health and safety of the general public.

If such an accident were to occur, the PNPS Emergency Response Organization (as defined in this plan) would be put in place and maintained until such time the plant was returned to a stable condition and the threat to the general public no longer existed. This plan describes the operation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. It does not, nor is it intended to provide guidance for actual plant equipment manipulations. These instructions are contained in PNPS normal and emergency operating procedures as required by Technical Specifications and other regulatory guidance. An emergency recovery phase is also described in this plan.

Section D: Planningq Basis Development of this plan was based on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors," and 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. Other applicable regulations, publications and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with PNPS documents to ensure consistency in the planning effort.

This plan was developed in coordination with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan, Hazard Annex: "Radiological Emergency Response" and local community emergency response plans.

Section E: Form and Content of Plan This plan is Appendix N of the PNPS Unit 1 FSAR but is maintained as a separate document.

This Plan has been formatted in a manner 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.

The use of this format lends itself to verification of meeting the criteria set forth in NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". Appendix 2, "Procedure Cross-Reference to Sections of the Plan", provides a cross-reference between this plan and the PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing and Administrative Procedures.

This plan is updated as necessary, in accordance with guidance provided by Emergency Preparedness Administrative Procedures viii viiiRevision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section A: Assignment of Responsibility This section describes the primary responsibilities for emergency response by Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), Federal, State, Commonwealth, and local organizations within the PNPS 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.

1. Concept of Operations: The relationships and the concept of operations for the organizations and agencies supporting a response in the PNPS Emergency Planning.Zones are as follows:
a. Identified below are Federal, Commonwealth, State, local, and private organizations that are involved in a response to an emergency at PNPS.

Federal Agqencies: The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how the Nation conducts all-hazards response. It is built upon scalable, flexible, and adaptable coordinating structures to align key roles and responsibilities across the Nation. It also describes specific authorities and best practices for managing incidents that range from the serious but purely local, to large-scale terrorist attacks or catastrophic natural disasters. The NRF does not alter the NRC's independent authority or impede its ability to respond to events involving NRC-licensed facilities or materials. As outlined in the Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex; the NRC is responsible to: (a) independently assess facility conditions and monitor licensee response

>activities; (b) ensure that appropriate protective action recommendations are communicated to the Commonwealth and local officials; (c) keep the public informed of the NRC's understanding of the event; and, (d) if necessary, the Chairman may invoke his authority to intervene and issue orders that may direct the licensee's response activities on-site.

The NRF is supported by annexes, including the Emergency Support Functions Annex, Support Annexes, and Incident Annexes for specific types of incidents. The annexes provide concepts of operations, procedures, and structures to assist partners with their respective response directives in fulfilling their roles under the NRF.

The Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex to the NRF states that the NRC is the Coordinating Agency for events occurring at NRC-licensed facilities and for radioactive materials licensed either by the NRC or under the NRC's Agreement States Program. As Coordinating Agency, NRC has technical leadership for the Federal government's response to the event.

The primary Federal response at PNPS supporting an emergency includes:

  • Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), who acts as technical/regulatory advisors to PNPS during an emergency. They provide Federal communications capabilities, coordination of Federal assistance, and assessment of onsite radiological incidents and potential offsite consequences.

A-1 Revision 45 A-I

- It serves as the primary interface between PNPS and outside organizations responsible for the protection of the public.

  • The Public Information Organization, directed by the Company Spokesperson, coordinates with public information officers from Other organizations to provide emergency information to the public through the news media.
c. Interrelationships between major PNPS organizations and sub-organizations in the total response effort are illustrated in a block diagram in Figure A-i. For a more detailed diagram of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization, see Figures B-i a through h.
d. The Emergency Director is the senior PNPS manager in charge of emergency response and has overall authority and responsibility for coordinating all emergency response actions at PNPS.

A-8 A-8 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

e. The PNPS Emergency Response Organization is composed of pre-designated Station personnel available and trained to augment the on-shift complement in an emergency.

Procedures for training and maintenance of the emergency organization are in place to assure 24-hour per day staffing for emergency response. The normal on-shift complement provides the initial response to an emergency. This group is trained to handle emergency situations, e.g. initiate the implementation of the PNPS Emergency Plan, and make initial accident assessment, emergency classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations until Emergency Response Organization activation Occurs.

2. Commonwealth and Local Functions and Responsibilities: The Commonwealth, the local towns and reception center communities have Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) that specify the responsibilities and functions for the major agencies, departments, and key individuals of their emergency response organizations. This information is located in their respective plans.
3. Agreements in Planning Effort: Written agreements with support organizations having an emergency response role within the PNPS EPZs (including hospitals and medical transportation) are provided in Appendix 3, "Copies of Letters of Agreement". These agreements identify the emergency measures to be provided, the mutually accepted criteria for implementation, and the arrangements for exchange of information. Federal, Commonwealth, State, and local agencies that have response functions covered by laws, regulations, or executive orders have developed plans to meet these functions. These approved Plans serve as written agreements for agencies response to an incident at PNPS.
4. Continuous Coverage: The PNPS Emergency Response Organization has sufficient numbers of qualified, trained personnel to provide the capability of continuous (24-hour) operations. The PNPS Emergency Telephone Directory is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis and identifies these individuals. The Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director administers the program to ensure availability of resources in the event of an emergency. The Emergency Director has the authority and is responsible for assuring continuity of resources (technical, administrative, and material) in the event of the activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section B: Station Emergency Organization This section describes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization, its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among PNPS response personnel and specifies offsite support available to respond to the PNPS.

1. PNPS Emergency Response Organization Assignments: Table B-I outlines the PNPS on-shift complement and their emergency duties. Members of the on-shift organization are trained on their responsibilities and duties in the event of an emergency, and are capable of performing all response actions in an Unusual Event, and the initial actions of higher classifications. Table B-I further lists key PNPS Emergency Response Organization positions required to meet minimum augmentation capabilities for the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification. Each Emergency Response Facility lead has the authority to, if necessary to make the facility operational, designate personnel to fill Emergency Response Organization positions. These designations should be limited to one shift or until assigned personnel arrive.

The normal PNPS personnel complement is established with the Senior Nuclear Executive having overall authority for Station operations (the Shift Manager always retains the responsibility for actual operation of plant systems). The Senior Nuclear Executive directs senior Nuclear Organization staff in the management of the various department/organizations. When an emergency is declared, the normal organization structure is replaced by the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. PNPS Emergency Response Organization personnel are selected based on comparison of the emergency functions they are to perform with their normal daily tasks and prior training. EN-EP-801, Emergency Response Organization, outlines position responsibilities for the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. Key positions are normally filled from the Nuclear Organization as listed below. However, due to the large amount of cross training and diversification across all areas within the Nuclear Organization, positions can be staffed from any part of the Nuclear Organization where personnel may be found with the capacity and expertise to perform the assigned emergency function as described in EN-EP-801.

a. The Emergqency Director is a member of the PNPS senior management staff.
  • The RadiologicalAssessment Coordinatoris normally from the Radiation Protection Group or Plant Management Staff.
b. The Emerqencv Plant Manaqer is a member of the PNPS senior management staff. "
  • The Emergency Plant Operations Supervisor is a member of Plant Operations who holds an operator's license on PNPS.
  • The Operations Support Center Manager is assigned from Plant Management Staff.
  • The TSC Security Coordinatoris assigned from Security Management Staff.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section C: Emergency Response Support and Resources This section describes the provisions for requesting and effectively utilizing support resources and for accommodating Commonwealth and local staff at the PNPS Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

1. Federal Response Support and Resources: Assistance is available from Federal agencies through the National Response Framework (NRF). The primary Federal agencies who provide assistance to the Commonwealth and PNPS, respectively, are the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Other Federal agencies, through the NRF, provide assistance to the Commonwealth in an emergency.

a. Sections A and B of this Plan identify the specific persons by title who are authorized to request Federal assistance.
b. Federal agencies that may provide assistance in direct support of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) in the event of an accident are identified in Section A of this plan. If needed, Federal resources are made available to PNPS in an expeditious and timely manner.
c. Each PNPS emergency response facility has the equipment and communications capability necessary for a continuous high level of response, interaction and communication among key personnel during emergency conditions. The Technical Support Center (TSC) is able to accommodate seven NRC representatives. Working areas are available and a desk has been provided for their use. The EOF has space to accommodate twelve NRC representatives as well as representatives from FEMA, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

In addition to PNPS facilities and equipment, Commonwealth and local facilities and equipment are available to support the Federal response. Among these are the Commonwealth Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) in Framingham and Bridgewater and local EOCs in Plymouth, Duxbury, Carver, Kingston and Marshfield, and Reception Centers in Taunton, Bridgewater and Braintree.

2. Liaisons:
a. The NRC, FEMA, MEMA, and MDPH may dispatch representatives to the EOF where accommodations have been provided.
b. At the Alert level and above, PNPS liaisons are dispatched to the Commonwealth and local government EOCs to act as communications liaisons and to provide clarification of emergency response information.

C-1 C-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

3. Radiologqical Laboratories: If the offsite radioiogicai monitoring and environmental sampling operation exceeds the capacity of the PNPS capabilities, the radiological analytical capability of other non-affected Entergy nuclear sites, Commonwealth and Federal agencies and other utilities can be used to analyze radiological samples. As discussed in Section A. 1, this additional capability is integrated into existing support efforts and concept of operations in responding to a declared emergency at PNPS. Section H.6 also provides more details on the offsite radiological monitoring support that can be used at PNPS.
4. Other Assistance: Contracted services, as listed in the Emergency Telephone Directory (ETD), are available and may be used in support of an emergenc~y response at PNPS.

Though not a typical contracted service, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INFO) is able to provide:

  • Assistance in locating sources of emergency manpower and equipment,
  • An organization of industry experts who could advise the utility on technical matters, and
  • Analysis of operational aspects of the incident.

Through INFO, nuclear sites have identified technical experts and specialized equipment that could be provided upon request in an emergency. The INFO Emergency Resources Manual includes the information necessary to locate and request specialized equipment and technical assistance in the event of a nuclear emergency at PNPS. INFO member utilities and suppliers agree to provide assistance as outlined in the INFO Emergency Resources Manual.

C-2 C-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section 0: 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 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures. The initial response of Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by PNPS. PNPS works closely with the Commonwealth and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces. *

1. Emeraqency Classification: This Plan provides for four classifications of emergency conditions. These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. However, during a safeguards contingency event, actions may be taken that depart from the immediate requirements specified for each of the four classification levels when those actions are immediately needed to protect the health and safety of members of the public or the plant staff. Those actions may include suspension, delay or modification of activities that could endanger the safety of members of the public, plant staff or security force or which could interfere with an effective response to the safeguards contingency event. 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.) that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. Table D-1 outlines the example conditions of abnormal symptoms and events, which would require declaration of an emergency at PNPS. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure used for classification of an event includes specific instrument readings and equipment status for establishing the symptoms and events appropriate for each classification. A conservative philosophy for classification is used to declare the highest emergency classification for which an EAL has been exceeded. PNPS 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. The four classification levels are:

a. Unusual Event - Event(s) 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. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

This is the least severe of the four (4) levels. The purpose of this classification is to bring the PNPS staff and offsite agencies to a state of readiness in the event the situation degrades.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.
  • Notification of certain members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization to standby (portions of the organization may be activated at this classification).

D-1 D-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Notification of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by transmission of an Initial Notification Form indicating that the event has been terminated.
b. Alert - Event(s) are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or probable damage to site equipment because of Hostile Action. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. The purpose of this classification is to ensure emergency personnel are readily available to respond, ifthe situation becomes more serious, and relieve the Control Room of some required actions so that the operations shift can concentrate on restoring the level of safety to the plant.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.

Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), Joint Information Center (JIC), and notification of Entergy Corporate.

  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in the response (i.e., NRC, Commonwealth, State, and Local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

D-2 0-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

c. Site Area Emer~qency - Event(s) are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or Hostile Action that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. The Site Area Emergency class also includes events where a significant release of radioactive material is likely or is occurring but significant core degradation is not indicated based on current information.

The purpose of this classification is to ensure that all emergency response centers are manned, offsite monitoring teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched, personnel required to evacuate near-site areas are in position and provisions are made for information updates to the public through offsite authorities and the news media.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary, this includes escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.
  • Activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which includes activation of the TSC, 0S0, EOF, Joint Information Center and Corporate Emergency Response Group. Offsite Monitoring Teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched to monitor for releases of radiation to the environment.
  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in response (i.e., NRC, Commonwealth, State and Local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
d. General Emeroency - Event(s) are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or Hostile Action that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.

Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. This is the most severe classification of an emergency. The purpose of this classification is to initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, provide continuous assessment of information from monitoring groups and provide information updates to the public through offsite authorities and the news media.

D-3 D-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary.
  • Activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which includes activation of the TSC, OSC, EOF, Joint Information Center and Corporate Emergency Response Group. Offsite Monitoring Teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched to monitor for releases of radiation to the environment.
  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and local agencies and not later than an hour after classification.

The emergency organization has personnel available to consult with the NRC on planned actions at the Station.

  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • Issuance, as a minimum, based upon plant conditions, initial protective action recommendations to affected EPZ sub-areas. Section J.7 provides a detail description of the possible recommendations that may be issued at the General Emergency classification including the consideration of administering potassium iodide (KI) to the general public.
  • Consideration of relocating the Joint Information Center to its alternate site, based-upon radiological or other conditions, such as a Commonwealth-directed evacuation of subarea 7.
  • Reassessment of PARs as necessary.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in response (i.e., NRC, Commonwealth, State and local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
2. Emer~qency Action Levels: The symptoms and events outlined in Table D-1 encompass the example conditions based on Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels", Revision 5, February 2008. The specific Emergency Action Levels detailed in the Implementing Procedures are utilized to classify emergency conditions and provide the control room operator with the indications characteristic of one or more of the symptoms or events specified.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section E: Notification Methods and Procedures This section describes the notification of Commonwealth and local response organizations and PNPS emergency response personnel. It outlines the content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations within the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

1. Response Orgqanization Notification: PNPS, in cooperation with Commonwealth and local authorities, has established mutually agreeable methods for notification of response organizations consistent with the emergency classification and action level scheme.

When an emergency is declared, reclassified, or terminated, the Emergency Director ensures notifications are promptly made to first-line offsite support agencies. These first-line notification contacts are:

  • The local communities within the Plume Exposure EPZ and reception communities are notified by a dedicated notification network, with BECONS or commercial telephone as backups. These communities are Plymouth, Carver, Duxbury,',

Kingston, Marshfield, Bridgewater and Taunton.

  • The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is notified by a dedicated telephone system called the Emergency Notification System (ENS), or for backup, by commercial telephone. Initial notification occurs from the Control Room.
2. Notification and Mobilization of Emergqency Response Personnel: At the Unusual Event classification, the PNPS Emergency Response Organization is notified and may be activated at the discretion of the Emergency Director. At the Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency classification level, activation of the Emergency Response Organization and related facilities is required. If the nature of the event threatens the safety of the ERO, onsite personnel may be directed to the Alternative Facility at the Chiltonville Training Center or requested to remain in place until the security of the site is restored.

Announcements are made from the Control Room over the plant public address system to notify on-site personnel of plant-related emergency response information. In addition to the public address system, emergency organization personnel are notified by pagers or telephone calls using the EverBridge notification system. Backup systems~to EverBridge include the use of the EverBridge alternate voice activation process or initiating telephone call-outs of emergency response personnel.

Non-emergency station response is discussed under Station Procedure 1.3.12.1, "Non-Emergency Notification of Management".

E-1 E-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

3. Initial Notification: The initial emergency message form includes information about:
  • Notification Type, i.e. "This is a Drill" or "This is an Actual Event."
  • Identity of caller and receiver of call
  • Emergency classification
  • Emergency action level identification and whether a release is in progress
  • Wind direction and speed
  • Whether protective measures may be necessary
  • The date and time of classification and notification Initial notifications are delivered to the Commonwealth and local communities within fifteen (15) minutes of classification of an event. In a General Emergency the initial notification will also include protective action recommendations to the affected EPZ sub-areas. Section J.7 provides a detail description of the possible recommendations that may be issued at the General Emergency classification.
4. Follow-up Messages: The Emergency Director ensures communications are maintained with the offsite authorities through periodic follow-up messages. The follow-up messages include the following, as appropriate:
a. Location of incident and name of caller and receiver of call, whether a drill or not a drill.
b. Time and date of the incident.
c. Class of emergency.
d. Type of actual or potential radiological release (airborne, waterborne, surface spill).
e. Whether or not [estimate of quantity of] radioactive material has been released or is being released and the points and heights of releases.
f. Radiological release information, including estimates of the relative quantities and concentrations of noble gases, halogens, and particulates.
g. Meteorological conditions at appropriate levels (wind speed, direction to and from, stability, precipitation).
h. Actual or projected dose rates at the site boundary, projected integrated dose at site boundary.
i. Projected dose rates and integrated dose at the projected peak and at 2, 5, and 10 miles, including subarea(s) affected.
j. Estimate of any surface contamination in-plant, onsite, or offsite.
k. Plant emergency response actions underway.

I. Recommended emergency actions, including protective measures.

E-2 E-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

m. Request for any needed onsite support by offsite organizations.
n. Prognosis for worsening or termination of event based on plant information.
5. Commonwealth and Local Information Dissemination: Commonwealth and local government organizations, in cooperation with PNPS, have established a system for disseminating appropriate information to the public. The system includes notification through appropriate broadcast media, e.g. the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
6. Notification of the Public: The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency and the Towns of Plymouth, Carver, Kingston, Duxbury and Marshfield have the capability for providing an alert signal to their population within fifteen (15) minutes following the decision to notify the public.

PNPS, in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local agencies, has developed the Prompt Alert and Notification System (PANS). PANS is the primary method of notifying the public. This system consists of one hundred and thirteen (113) large scale electronic sirens and five (5) primary radio stations covering the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. The sirens alert the public to tune their radios to pre-designated EAS stations to receive instructional messages.

Pre-scripted messages are broadcast by the EAS network along with any protective actions directed by the Governor of Massachusetts from recommendations made by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency will select and initiate broadcast of appropriate EAS messages for the EPZ Towns. EAS messages are supplemented by news advisories prepared by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.

The siren system is equipped with public address capability. This capability is utilized for early notification to the beach and resident population of the Saquish/Gurnet area. It may also be utilized by any of the towns at any time.

As a backup means of public notification, route alert teams, using public address systems, drive through areas where a siren failure has been indicated and broadcast an alert message which instructs the public to tune to an EAS station. Maps and instructions have been developed for each siren coverage area.

Severely hearing-impaired residents are called by the Town Emergency Response Organization using Teletypewriter (TTY) equipment.

Schools, major employers with 50 employees or more, transient shelters, health care facilities, and recreation areas are notified by tone alert radios activated by the EAS tone.

The pubiic and commercial boating population receives notification from the Harbor Master and U. S. Coast Guard boats equipped with public address systems. Additional notification is also completed by marine and Citizens Band (CB) radios to those boats that are radio equipped.

Beach and pond visitors are notified by personnel from the Police Department or Public Works Department driving public address system equipped vehicles.

E-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Messagqes to the Public: The Commonwealth has developed draft EAS and News Advisory messages that are intended for the public. These draft messages are included as part of the Commonwealth's plan and procedures and contain instructions with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by Occupants and visitors of affected areas such as: take shelter and go indoors, close windows and doors, turn off ventilation systems; directions given for evacuation; directions to stay tuned to specific stations for further information and instructions, ad hoc respiratory protection (e.g. handkerchief over mouth), etc. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintains a stockpile of KI to be made available to emergency workers, institutionalized persons who cannot be evacuated, and the general public. The MDPH and MEMA provide information about the use of KI and how and where to obtain it. PNPS also provides supporting information for messages through the MEMA.

E-4 E-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section F: Emergqency Communications This section describes the emergency communications equipment available to support the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization. It outlines the available communications equipment to:

  • Notify the PNPS Emergency Response Organization.
  • Provide Initial Notification to Offsite governmental agencies.
  • Communicate among the PNPS Emergency Response Facilities.
  • Communicate with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and other Federal, Commonwealth, and local response agencies.
  • Communicate with hospitals, ambulances, and other agencies providing offsite assistance to PNPS.

This section further outlines the program for insuring that the communications equipment is tested on a regular schedule, and that methods are in place to ensure rapid and reliable repair of any equipment found not operational.

I. Communications/Notifications: Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station maintains the capability to make initial notifications to both the PNPS Emergency Response Organization and designated offsite agencies on a 24-hour per day basis. Figure F-I depicts the initial Notification paths and the organizational titles from PNPS to local and Commonwealth emergency response organizations. Those links that are manned 24-hours per day are indicated on Figure F-i. Table F-I depicts the primary and alternate method of communicating between various PNPS facilities, with offsite facilities, and with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Table F-I also depicts the provisions for communications with Commonwealth and site radiological monitoring teams. Table F-2 shows available communications equipment within each of the PNPS emergency response facilities.

PNPS utilizes the EverBridge notification system to rapidly notify members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. EverBridge is a computer system (both hardware and software) that notifies the ERO of an emergency via a number of modalities (i.e., telephone, pager, text, email). This system provides a primary notification through the computerized system with Interactive Voice Response (telephone) alternate activation capability. The decision process used to activate EverBridge is specified in appropriate Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

If the EverBridge computerized system should fail, Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures specify the course of action to be taken. These procedures require using the Alternate EverBridge Voice Activation, if available, or initiating individual telephone call-outs of emergency response personnel.

F-1 F-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section G: Public Education and Information This section describes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power.Station (PNPS) public education and information program. It outlines the methods for distributing public information materials on an annual basis and describes how the public is informed in the event of an emergency.

1. Public Information Publication: The emergency public information publication for PNPS is an annual calendar which is developed in coordination with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), and local communities. It is distributed by mail to all residents and businesses within the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The contents of the calendar include the following:
a. Educational information on radiation;
b. Commonwealth and EPZ community contacts for additional information;
c. Definitions of protective measures as well as written descriptions of evacuation routes, locations of reception centers, steps to follow when sheltering or evacuating;
d. Special needs of the handicapped, and
e. Relocation points for school children.
2. Public Education Materials: In addition to the emergency public information calendar, placards are posted throughout the EPZ communities. The placards provide information to visitors about what to do when the sirens sound, evacuation routes and where to obtain additional emergency information. Emergency information and instructions are also provided in local telephone directories.
3. Joint Information Center
a. The Joint Information Center, located at the Entergy Industrial Park Training Center in Plymouth, provides a location for the news media to receive information from all involved agencies and companies during an emergency and provide it to the general public.

Work areas are set up for the news media and telephones are installed for their use. If, due to radiological or other conditions, the Joint Information Center is found to be uninhabitable, it will be relocated to the Alternate Joint Information Center at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater. Comparable facilities for both the Joint Information Center staff and media representatives are available at the alternate facility.

b. During an emergency, the Emergency Director may approve access to the Emergency Operations Facility for a limited number of news media.
4. Coordination of Public Information
a. The PNPS Company Spokesperson is the primary spokesperson for PNPS during an emergency. The Company Spokesperson has direct access to all necessary information (see Section B.5).

G-1 Revision 45 G-.1

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

b. The Joint Information Center is staffed by Federal and Commonwealth emergency management agencies and PNPS to assure timely exchange and coordination of information. Representatives coordinate information prior to distributing news releases and prior to news briefings.
c. Rumors or misinformation are identified during an emergency by the Information Coordinator and Inquiry Response Coordinator located at the Joint Information Center.

They respond to media calls and broadcasts and reports of misinformation or rumors are forwarded to the Inquiry Response Coordinator and Information Coordinator, and then forwarded to the JIC Manager and/or Company Spokesperson for an appropriate response by Joint Information Center staff. Rumor control is also provided for by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.

5. Media Orientation: The annual PNPS Media Orientation is coordinated with offsite agencies to acquaint the news media with emergency plans, basics of nuclear power operation and radiation fundamentals. The news media typically are provided a tour of the Joint Information Center or other emergency response facilities. Reporters receive information Sabout Joint Information Center activation and accessibility during a declared emergency at PNPS.

G-2 G-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section H: Emergency Facilities and Equipment This section describes the emergency facilities and equipment used by the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization. It outlines the facilities and equipment requirements which aid in the timely and accurate response by the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. It also describes the surveillance programs used to monitor and insure that these facilities and equipment are maintained in a high degree of constant readiness.

1. Technical Support Center (TSC'). Operations Support Center (OSC). and the Control Room:

PNPS has established an onsite Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (0S0). The TSC and OSC are activated upon declaration of an Alert or above or at the discretion of the Emergency Director (ED) or Shift Manager. Until they become operational, required functions of these facilities are performed in the Control Room.

The Control Room is located on the 37' elevation of the Turbine Building. The Control Room is the focal point for all plant operational activities. The Control Room contains the instrumentation, control devices and displays necessary for operation of the reactor and turbine generator under normal and emergency situations.

The Control Room is staffed by Licensed Nuclear Plant Operators and Senior Licensed Nuclear Plant Operators. All plant-related operations are directed from the Control Room and supervised by the Shift Manager. During emergency operating conditions, only those personnel who are required for the safe operation of the plant are allowed access to the Control Room.

The TSC and OSC along with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) are the primary emergency response facilities in support of the Control Room. The primary emergency response facilities have been designed and built to withstand the most adverse conditions reasonably expected during the design life of the plant including adequate capabilities for earthquakes, high winds and floods. Each facility is equipped with fire alarm and suppression systems, and back-up diesel generated electrical power.

The TSC is located within the Protected Area on the ground floor of the Operations and Maintenance Building. The TSC provides facilities near the Control Room for technical, engineering and management support of operations personnel during emergency conditions. It also permits direct interface of management personnel with the plant operators, if necessary.

The TSC has a large working area with space sufficient to accommodate the pre-designated TSC staff. The TSC is also able to accommodate seven (7) NRC representatives. Working areas are available and a desk has been provided for NRC use.

The TSC is the primary communications link between the Control Room and the EOF. It also acts as an onsite communications center for the plant during an emergency.

Additional engineering support may be activated from the Nuclear Engineering Staff.

Specific personnel assignments are determined at the time of the emergency by the TSC Manager and the Operations Coordinator based on the type of incident occurring at the Station.

H-1 H-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The 0S0 is located on the ground floor of the Operations and Maintenance Building next to the TSC. The OSC is an onsite assembly area separated from the Control Room and the TSC where pre-designated support personnel report in an emergency. All personnel dispatched into the Plant in an emergency are coordinated through the 0S0 after its activation. Response teams dispatched from the OSC may include search and rescue, repair and corrective actions, damage assessment/control, onsite/in-plant survey, first aid, and fire fighting to support accident mitigation activities.

The Chiltonville Training Center is an alternative facility, with communication capabilities for contacting the Control Room, plant security and the EOF, which serves as a staging area for augmented emergency response staff if the site is under threat of or experiencing hostile actions.

In the event the TSC/OSC evacuation becomes necessary, the emergency response procedures identify an alternate location for the TSC/OSC.

2. _Emergqency Operations Facility (EOF): PNPS has established an Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) located at 44 Obery Street across from the Plymouth North High School in Plymouth, Massachusetts approximately four (4) miles west of PNPS. The building is shielded and equipped with a filtered ventilation system and backup electrical supply system. The EOF is the central facility for the evaluation and coordination of all licensee activities in response to an emergency. Here information is provided to representatives of Federal, Commonwealth, and local authorities who respond to an emergency at PNPS.

The EOF is a PNPS controlled and operated facility. The EOF is equipped with an intrusion detection system. Security personnel may be requested to augment access control of the EOF.

During an emergency, the EOF is staffed and equipped to provide for the overall management of the Station's emergency response; coordination of radiological and environmental assessment; coordination of corporate support; development of protective action recommendations for the general public; coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies; and capability to perform offsite notifications.

The EOF consists of an Operations Room, a Communications Room, conference rooms and several office areas. In addition to the pre-designated PNPS emergency response organization staff, the EOF has space to accommodate twelve (12) NRC representatives as well as representatives from FEMA, MDPH, and MEMA and key local authorities. If necessary, the EOF may be used to accommodate outside technical support groups.

In the event an EOF evacuation becomes necessary, operations can be transferred to the Alternate Emergency Operations Facility (AEOF). The AEOF is located in the Town Hall, Carver, MA. and is approximately 10.5 miles west of PNPS. The AEOF has accommodation for up to 40 people. It is equipped with site maps, office furniture, supplies and back-up communication systems.

3. Alternative Facility: The Alternative Facility utilized during a Hostile Action event is located at the Chiltonville Training Center. The facility serves as a staging area for TSC and OSC personnel and is equipped with offsite and onsite communication and engineering assessment activities including damage control team planning and preparation.

H-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

4. Emercqency Operations Centers (EOCs) and Incident Command Post (ICP): Emergency Operations Centers in each of the communities supporting a response to an incident at PNPS have been established to perform direction and control of response functions. PNPS provides support for the local communities in the design and maintenance of their facilities.

The Town of Plymouth EOC is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The EOC serves as command and control headquarters for local emergency response activities as well as a center for the coordination of communications to local field units and to the Commonwealth and MEMA Region II EOCs. The EOC has the equipment necessary, (such as facsimile machines, telecommunications equipment, radio gear, photocopiers, wall maps, etc.) to carry out its emergency responsibilities. The other plume exposure EPZ communities of Kingston, Duxbury, Carver, and Marshfield, all in Massachusetts, are similarly equipped. In addition, the Reception Center communities are equipped with similar facilities and equipment.

The Commonwealth EOC is located at MEMA headquarters in Framingham, Massachusetts and serves as the command and control center for off site emergency response. The Commonwealth EOC is capable of continuous (24-hour) operations for a protracted period.

The center contains sufficient communications (radio, telephone and teletype) equipment, maps, emergency plans, and status boards to provide the necessary interfaces with other Commonwealth, local, Federal and PNPS emergency facilities.

The Joint Information Center is located at the Entergy Industrial Park Training Center in Plymouth, approximately 6.5 miles North West of PNPS. The Joint Information Center is staffed by PNPS and government public information representatives who will be the source of public information during an emergency at PNPS. The Joint Information Center is normally activated upon declaration of an Alert or above. If, due to radiological or other conditions, the Joint Information Center is found to be uninhabitable, it will be relocated to the Alternate Joint Information Center at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater.

The MEMA Region II EOC is located at MEMA Region II Headquarters in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The EOC is located near the plume exposure EPZ and serves as the local liaison with the Commonwealth EOC to coordinate emergency operations among local communities.

The State EOC/Office of Public Safety (OPS) is the primary Commonwealth notification point. Continuous communication coverage is provided by dispatcher on a 24-hour basis.

The Incident Command Post (ICP) is an offsite physical location that administers the on-scene incident command and the other major incident management functions and works under Incident Command System (ICS) strategies. ICS has been summarized as a "first-on-scene" structure, where the first responder of a scene has charge of the scene until the incident has been declared resolved, a superior-ranking responder arrives on scene and seizes command, or the Incident Commander appoints another individual Incident Commander. ICS consists of a standard management hierarchy and procedures for managing temporary incident(s) of any'size. Incidents at Pilgrim Station will have an ICP location as determined by the responding offsite Incident Commander.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

5. Activation: PNPS has put into place plans and procedures to insure the timely activation of its emergency response facilities. Although the response time will vary due to factors such as weather and traffic conditions, a goal of thirty (30) minutes for some minimum staffing and one (1) hour for full manning has been established for onsite emergency facilities and the EOF. Plans have been developed to insure timely functional activation and staffing of the Joint Information Center.
6. Monitoring Equipment for Classification: PNPS has identified and installed onsite monitoring systems that are utilized to assess the incident and make determinations on the proper emergency measures to be implemented. This equipment includes but is not limited to the following:
a. PNPS has two meteorological towers equipped with instrumentation for continuous reading of wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and difference in air temperature (160' to 33' and 220' to 33'). PNPS has the indirect capability of locally monitoring hydrological data by use of instrumentation installed on process water systems. Seismic monitors are located throughout the plant; data from these monitors is recorded in the Control Room.
b. Installed radiological monitors indicate the status of the plant and any radiological release that may have occurred. The Control Room is equipped with plant radiation monitoring instrumentation for use in both normal and emergency conditions. The Containment High Radiation Monitoring System is designed to measure post-accident radiation levels in the drywell and the torus during accident conditions. The range of these monitors is 1 to I1.0E+7 R/hr. The Main Stack, the Reactor Building Exhaust Ventilation and the Turbine Building are equipped with high range radiation monitoring systems designed to measure elevated radiation levels.

The Containment High Radiation Monitoring System will be used to monitor the integrity of the reactor fuel and to assess core damage conditions during the emergency phase of an accident. Contingency chemistry sampling procedures are available as a supplemental means to confirm the integrity of the reactor fuel or core damage in support of post-accident and long-term recovery operations. The contingency chemistry procedures provide the appropriate instructions to obtain and analyze highly radioactive samples from the reactor coolant system and containment (i.e., drywell and torus).

c. The Control Room and applicable redundant backup locations are equipped with extensive plant process monitors for use in both normal and emergency conditions.

These indications include but are not limited to reactor coolant system pressure and temperature, containment pressure and temperature, liquid levels, flow rates, status or

-lineup of equipment components. This instrumentation provides the basis for initiation of corrective actions.

d. The PNPS has installed fire and combustion detection equipment at PNPS in compliance with 10CFR50 Appendix R.

Section I provides more details on the accident assessment efforts that can be used to assess the incident and make determinations on the proper emergency measures to be implemented.

H-4 H-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Offsite Monitoringq Equipment: PNPS has made provisions to perform offsite monitoring during emergency situations.
a. Offsite sources of information pertaining to geophysical phenomena include the National Weather Service located at Taunton, MA for meteorological data, and local marine forecast data and Coast Guard facilities provide hydrological data, and Weston Observatory provides seismic activity.
b. PNPS has established radiological and environmental radiation sampling and monitoring stations at PNPS and nearby areas as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. These Stations are used for continuous long-term radiological background assessment of the environs surrounding PNPS. These Stations monitor a variety of media and pathways including gaseous and particulate sampling equipment and environmental Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) (WT-WTPNP-2013-263, CA-05),

which may be used in an emergency for accident assessment. The locations and specific capabilities of these Stations are contained in the PNPS Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

c. In addition to the analytical capabilities of the EOF, PNPS has access to outside analytical assistance and laboratory facilities from other non-affected Entergy nuclear sites, Commonwealth and Federal agencies and other utilities through INPO. This support may include but is not limited to the following:

Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) through the implementation of the Nuclear Incident Advisory Team (NIAT) Handbook has laboratory analysis capability at the Commonwealth/State Contracted laboratories and those laboratories listed in the New England Interstate Radiation Assistance Plan.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the implementation of the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) or Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) will provide necessary radiological monitoring assistance. The DOE Region Coordinating Office for PNPS is the Brookhaven Area Office located in Upton, New York.

Other environmental monitoring and analysis support can be requested and arranged through INPO. The INPO Emergency Resources Manual includes the information necessary to locate and request specialized equipment and technical assistance in the area of offsite radiological monitoring. INPO member utilities and suppliers agree to provide assistance as outlined in the INPO Emergency Resources Manual.

The above facilities have the capability to perform laboratory analyses of various environmental samples (e.g., terrestrial, marine and air). It is also estimated that the analytical assistance and laboratory support will be able to respond within eight (8),

hours from initial notification.

H-5 H-5 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

8. Offsite Monitoringq Equipment Storagqe: The EOF has been designated as the central point for storing offsite radiological monitoring equipment. Additional equipment is available at PNPS and other facilities (i.e., Warehouse, Commonwealth and local facilities), if needed.

The EOF contains portable survey, counting, and air sampling instrumentation and other radiological monitoring equipment and supplies to be used by PNPS and Nuclear Incident Advisory Team (NIAT) offsite monitoring teams. Table H-I illustrates examples of the types of equipment available for off site monitoring.

Monitoring team equipment is capable of detecting and measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as I1.0E-7 tiCi/cc under field conditions. Interference from the presence of noble gas and background radiation will be minimized by ensuring that monitoring teams move to areas of low background prior to analyzing the sample cartridge.

9. Meteorologqical Monitoringq: PNPS has installed two meteorological towers equipped with instrumentation for continuous reading of the wind speed, wind direction, air temperature and delta air temperature at 33 foot and either the 160 or 220 foot elevations. The 220 and 160 foot meteorological towers record information and report this data locally at the meteorological tower, to the Emergency Plant Information Computer (220 foot) and to the station's business Local Area Network (160 foot). The 220 foot also reports information to the Control Room.

PNPS has the capability for making remote interrogation of the atmospheric measurements and predictions. Additional capabilities are available to obtain representative current meteorological information from other sources, such as the National Weather Service.

10. Protective and Damagqe Control Eguipment: The TSC, OSC, and EOF are equipped with ventilation systems similar to the Control Room ventilation system. The ventilation systems use both High Efficiency Particulate and charcoal filters.

Radiological monitoring is performed in each emergency response facility. Radiation dose rates and airborne radioactivity concentrations are measured inside each facility while it is in use during an emergency. This monitoring will detect adverse conditions that may affect the habitability of the facility. Equipment is available which can distinguish the presence of radioiodine at concentrations as low as 1.OE-07 iiCi/cc.

Radiation protection equipment (i.e., protective clothing, respiratory protection gear and other health physics equipment and supplies) is stored and maintained at each emergency response facility. Table H.2 illustrates the equipment typically available to each facility.

This equipment is for re-entry team activities. If necessary, this equipment will be used for emergency response personnel within the facility to allow them to function during the presence of low-level airborne radioactivity or radioactive surface contamination. Sufficient potassium iodide is available for use by Control Room, TSC, OSC, JIC and EOF personnel, and is also stored at the Chiltonville staging area.

One-hour self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) packs and bottles have been placed at strategic points within the Station. A cascade air compressor is maintained onsite. A back-up compressor is located at Plymouth Fire Department headquarters approximately 2.5 miles from the site. Arrangements exist to permit PNPS 24-hour access to this back-up compressor if the station compressor is inoperable, or ifthe air in station environs is contaminated.

H-6 H-6 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The Medical Building, located near the main parking lot, is supplied with an assortment of first aid and medical treatment equipment and supplies that are used on a daily basis.

Emergency medical treatment equipment and supplies are also stored in the Engineering Support Building and TSC Communications Cabinet (CR-PNP-2014-323,CA-02). In addition to normal Station decontamination equipment, the EOF is equipped with personnel decontamination supplies and a decontamination shower for use in an emergency. The EOF is also equipped with a holding tank to secure contaminated materials. Table H-3 and H-4 illustrate the supplies found in the medical and decontamination kits.

Damage Control Equipment is available in the OSC and additionally in maintenance shops or PNPS warehouses located inside the Protected Area. This equipment includes items such as portable lighting and portable communications equipment. See Table F-I for the matrix of communications capability. For a complete description of communications equipment available during an emergency, refer to Section F of this Emergency Plan.

11. Facility and Equipment Readiness: Emergency facilities and equipment are inspected and inventoried in accordance with departmental administrative procedures. The inspection includes an operational check of instruments and equipment. Equipment, supplies and parts which have a shelf-life are identified, checked and replaced as necessary. Sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment are maintained to replace those which are removed from emergency kits or lockers for calibration or repair. Dedicated communications equipment between Federal, Commonwealth and local government agencies within the plume exposure pathway EPZ are checked periodically in accordance with Section N.2.

The results of tests, inventories, and inspections conducted in accordance with PNPS Procedures, are submitted to the Emergency Planning Manager for review. The Emergency Planning Manager is responsible for the evaluation of these results and assignment of corrective actions for deficiencies identified, if any.

The Emergency Planning Manager will be informed of select system inoperability determinations resulting from any tests, inventories or inspections conducted on the systems identified in Table H-5, as the availability of these systems can have significant impact on the Emergency Plan. When notified of Table H-5 system inoperability, the Emergency Planning Manager will inform the Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director within one business day of the inoperable condition, as well as of compensatory measures taken, if any.

12. General Use Emergqency Equipment: Tables H-I, H-2, H-3, and H-4 identify by general category the equipment that typically make up emergency kits used in an emergency situation. Table F-1 shows available communications equipment. PNPS cooperates with local and Commonwealth officials to insure that sufficient and appropriate emergency kits are made available. *
13. Collection Point for Field Samples: The EOF has been designated as the central point for the receipt and analysis of radiological field monitoring samples. Sampling and analysis equipment is available for activity determination of these samples. Sufficient field monitoring equipment is maintained at the EOF fgr initial sampling. Monthly surveillance and maintenance is performed to insure the readiness of field monitoring equipment.

Instrumentation and equipment utilized for activity determination are routinely calibrated to insure timely availability.

H-12 H-I 2Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section I: Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), 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).

1. Plant Parameters and Corresponding Emergqency Classification
  • 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.
  • 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 PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
  • 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 detailed instrumentation and equipment capabilities available for each emergency facility are described in Section H of the PNPS Emergency Plan.
2. Onsite Accident Assessment Capabilities
  • Contingency Chemistry Procedures - The Commission has approved and issued License Amendment 204 to PNPS that eliminates the requirement to have and maintain the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS) to support emergency response decisions during the initial phase of an accident (USNRC Letter Number 1.03.128, dated November 14, 2003). However, there is a significant benefit to having information from radioisotope sampling as a supplemental means to address decisions in support of long-term recovery operations under a severe accident condition. Therefore, contingency chemistry procedures are available to obtain and analyze highly radioactive samples from the reactor coolant system and containment (i.e.; drywell and torus) when deemed appropriate or necessary to support decisions during long-term recovery operations. The sample results will be used to confirm the integrity of the reactor fuel or core damage conditions with other plant indicators such as Area Radiation and Process Radiation Monitors.
  • Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors - PNPS has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of in-plant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PRM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow in-plant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring local 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 PRM readings can be used as an input into the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) computer program which displays the projected whole body and thyroid exposures to the populace in the plume exposure pathway.

I-1 I-IRevision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Containment High Radiation Monitoringq System - A primary method to estimate core damage is based on radiation monitor readings from the Containment High-Radiation Monitoring System (CHRMS), which monitors the radiation levels inside the primary containment (Drywell and Torus areas). This is accomplished by comparing the radiation monitoring readings inside the primary containment with established Drywell and Torus CHRMS curves. The curves provide an estimate of the amount of core damage by plotting the detector dose rate response versus time after shutdown corresponding to various assumed source term scenarios. The assumed source term scenarios include full core melt, gap activity and spiked primary coolant releases.
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 High Radiation Monitoring System (CHRMS) and Process Radiation Monitors. The Containment High Radiation 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 in counts per second or Roentgens per hour. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.

Routine and high range monitors are located on the Main Stack and the Reactor Building. A high range monitor is located in the Turbine Building. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use of the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) computer program.

4. Effluent Monitor Data and URI: The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates is accomplished through use of the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) computer program. URI is a computer program which allows 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 halogen and particulate concentrations via the 10-mile Plume and 50-mile Ingestion exposure pathways.
5. Meteorological Information: Meteorological data are available from two meteorological towers, a 220 foot primary and a 160 foot back-up. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and delta temperature. These data are utilized by the site, Commonwealth and NRC to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion.

Meteorological data from the 220 foot tower is available to the Control Room, the Technical Support Center SPDS, and Emergency Operations Facility SPDS. Meteorological data is available from the 160 foot tower via the station's business Local Area Network. Data from both towers is also available via local readout. The National Weather Service, or other official commercial or governmental meteorological gathering services, are possible alternate sources for obtaining meteorological data.

I-2 1-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

6. Unmonitored Release: If 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.
7. Field Monitorinaq: In the event of an airborne or liquid release, PNPS 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.
8. Offsite Monitoringq Teams (OMTs): 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. OMTs are composed of two individuals, at least one of whom is a qualified Radiation Protection technician.

OMTs establish and maintain direct radio communications with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The teams are controlled by the Offsite Monitoring Team Coordinator in the EOF. The OMTs locate and monitor the radioactive plume while taking air samples as directed.

Survey data from OMTs are used to define affected areas, verify or modify dose projections and protective action recommendations, and assess the extent and significance of a release.

9. Iodine Monitoringq: OMTs collect air samples while in the plume exposure pathway. The teams carry procedures and equipment for sampling and measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1 .OE-7 picuries per cubic centimeter in the presence of noble galses.
10. Dose Estimates: Specific procedures exist for the correlation of air activity levels to dose rate for key isotopes. Provisions have been established for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates and for the comparison of these estimates with the protective action guides.
11. Commonwealth Monitoring Capabilities: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has the ability to dispatch its own field monitoring teams to track the airborne radioactive plume.

The Commonwealth also has the ability and resources to interpret radiological data in coordination with federal and site monitoring teams to compare sample results.

I-3 1-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section J: Protective Response 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 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. A combination of restricted movement, movement to safe locations and site evacuation may be used depending on the nature of the event and available advance warning. 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. PNPS is responsible for onsite actions, while the responsibility for offsite actions rests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, local authorities and other offsite response agencies.

1. Notification of Onsite Personnel: For all emergency classifications, all personnel within the Protected Area are notified of the declaration, escalation or termination of an emergency by alarms and verbal announcements over the Station Public Address System (Gaitronics).

Announcements include the emergency classification and response actior~s to be taken by site personnel.

Upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification, if open, public access areas are closed and persons advised, by dispatching a security officer(s) to evacuate those areas.

2. Evacuation Locations: if Protected Area evacuation is required, personnel are directed to evacuate to an assembly area. The Engineering and Support Building cafeteria is designated as the primary assembly area. Should conditions warrant, personnel may be directed to evacuate via personal automobiles to the alternate assembly area, the Chiltonville Training Center. The assembly area is chosen on the basis of wind direction.

Visitors to the station assemble with their escorts.

3. Radiologqical Monitoringq: In the event of Protected Area evacuation, radiation protection personnel are dispatched to the designated assembly area to provide radiological monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination of evacuees.
4. Evacuation: Evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments. Contractors who do not have emergency responsibilities, visitors, and handicapped personnel are evacuated immediately at the Alert or higher classification.

Evacuation of non-essential PNPS personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The shorefront recreation area is closed at the declaration of an Alert or higher classification, and visitors asked to leave.

J-1 Revision 45 J-1

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

5. Accountability: At the declaration of Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, all non-essential personnel are evacuated. All individuals onsite are accounted for and the names of missing individuals are ascertained within 30 minutes of the initiation of accountability.

Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event. Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated. Accountability is coordinated by the TSC Security Coordinator and the results forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager. For Hostile Action events, accountability may be delayed in lieu of other onsite protective actions required to ensure safety of the site and its personnel. In these cases, accountability will be completed once safe conditions have been established.

6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel: PNPS maintains an inventory of respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, and radio protective drugs which are made available to emergency workers remaining onsite should conditions warrant.
a. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) 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 and dress out area, is available for use by onsite re-entry personnel.
c. Procedures are in place for the use of thyroid-blocking agents by emergency response personnel. Administration of such agents may be authorized only by the Emergency Director for offsite PNPS emergency workers or by the Emergency Plant Manager for onsite PNPS emergency workers.

J-2 J-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public: Plant conditions, projected doses, and/or 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 the NRC/FEMA guidance in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP "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 Commonwealth agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. Protective action recommendations are made by the Emergency Director to MEMA, through the MDPH EOF Liaison. In an emergency which requires immediate protective actions be taken prior to activation of emergency facilities, notification is given by the Emergency Director in the Control Room directly to the Commonwealth, EPZ, and reception communities via the DNN.

The possible Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) issued by PNPS in accordance with EP-IP-400, "ProtectiveAction Recommendations", at a General Emergency include:

  • For a Rapidly Progressing Severe Accident (RPSA), a General Emergency distinguished by a rapid loss of containment integrity and loss of ability to cool the core, a plant-based PAR to evacuate the 2-mile ring and 5 miles downwind of the affected EPZ subareas along with sheltering of all other EPZ subareas will be recommended.

The 5-10 downwind area will be re-evaluated for evacuation by the EOF, or

  • At a minimum, based on plant conditions, (for a non-RPSA), evacuation of the 2 mile ring and 5 miles downwind of the affected EPZ sub-areas along with sheltering of all other EPZ sub-areas will be recommended unless sheltering as an alternative to evacuation is recommended; or
  • In event of a short duration emergency radioactive release (i.e., <1 hour for the entire event), or a General Emergency is declared because of Hostile Action, then sheltering instead of evacuation for the affected, land-based EPZ sub-areas will be recommended.

In addition to the plant-condition PARs, off-site dose projections will be used to determine whether plant-condition PARs are adequate. This will include evaluating the off-site dose projection results in accordance with the threshold for dose-based evacuation PARs. Table J-1 summarizes the PNPS PARs for the general public based on projected dose to the population-at-risk.

In all of the above cases, a reminder is provided that Commonwealth and local authorities should consider the administration of Potassium Iodide (KI) for the general public in accordance with their plans and procedures.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

8. Evacuation Time Estimates: An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, by subarea, of the time required to evacuate resident and transient populations surrounding Pilgrim Station under favorable and adverse conditions (see Appendix 5). These evacuation time estimates are used in the formulation of protective action recommendations using Guidance in 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". Estimates of EPZ permanent resident population changes are conducted annually.
9. Protective Measure Implementation: The responsibility for implementing protective measures based on protective action guides rests with Commonwealth and local agencies.
10. Factors Affectingq Protective Measure Implementation: The PNPS, Commonwealth, and local emergency plans used to implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
a. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Figures J-.1 through J-5 are maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation subareas, reception centers in host areas, and mass care shelters.
b. The population distribution around Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is presented in the Evacuation Time Estimates, Appendix 5.
c. As indicated in Section E, offsite agencies are notified in the event the Emergency Plan is activated. Commonwealth and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure -EPZ.
d. Means for protecting those persons whose mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
e. Provisions for the use of radio protective drugs, particularly for emergency workers and institutionalized persons within the plume exposure EPZ whose immediate evacuation may be infeasible or very difficult, including quantities, storage, and means of distribution are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
f. Commonwealth and local plans include the method by which decisions are made by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for administering radio protective drugs to emergency workers and the general public.
g. Means of relocation of the general public are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
h. Relocation centers in host areas which are at least 5 miles, and preferably 10 miles, beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure emergency planning zone are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.

I.Projected traffic capacities of evacuation routes under emergency conditions are described in Appendix 5, Evacuation Time Estimates.

J-4 J-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN j.Control of access to evacuated areas and organization responsibilities for such control are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures and in Appendix 5, Evacuation Time Estimates.

k. Identification of and means for dealing with potential impediments to use of evacuation routes, (e.g., seasonal impassability of roads) and contingency measures are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures I.Time estimates for evacuation of various sectors and distances based on a dynamic analysis (time-motion study under various conditions) for the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone have been performed and are contained in Appendix 5, Evacuation Time Estimates. Estimates of EPZ permanent resident population changes are conducted annually.
m. The bases for dose driven protective action recommendations are as follows:
  • If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs, evacuation is considered for affected subareas and sheltering is considered for remaining subareas.
  • PNPS personnel normally do not have the necessary information to determine whether off site conditions would require sheltering instead of an evacuation. An effort to base Protective Action Recommendations on external factors (such as road conditions, traffic/traffic control, weather, security concerns or offsite emergency res'ponse capabilities) is usually performed by the Commonwealth.
11. Ingqestion Pathway Protective Measures: The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
12. Monitoringq of Evacuees: The Commonwealth and local organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers. 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.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section K: Radiological Exposure Control 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 PNPS to provide necessary assistance to persons injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive materials.

Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, EPA 400-R-92-001.

1. Emergqency Exposure Guidelines: Radiation exposure in an emergency is controlled, taking every reasonable effort to minimize exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of the EPA-400 general activities limit (5 Rem). Situations in which actions are taken to save vital equipment or property, circumvent substantial exposure to the general public or to save a life are examples of conditions which may necessitate extended emergency exposure authorization. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency worker activities:

Dose Limit* Activity Conditions 5 All 10 Protecting valuable property. Lower dose not practical.

25 Life saving or protection of large Lower dose not practical.

populations.

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

  • EPA TEDE values for non-pregnant adults from exposure and intake during an emergency situation in Rem. Workers performing services during emergencies should

-limit dose to the eyes to three times the listed value and dose to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to ten times the listed value.

2. Emergency Radiation Protection Program: The Radiological Coordinators ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergencies, that exposure accountability is maintained and that personnel are not sent into known or potential high radiation areas (radiation, contamination or airborne) without adequate protection and exposure controls.

Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the facility is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize personnel exposures.

Assembly areas (or alternate assembly areas) are established to relocate and monitor evacuated personnel.

The authority to allow radiation exposure above the EPA-400 general activities limits is held by the Emergency Director for offsite (outside the protected area) ERO personnel through recommendations from the Radiological Assessment Coordinator and the Emergency Plant Manager for onsite ERO personnel through recommendations from the Radiological Coordinator and may not be delegated further.

K-1 K-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN In any emergency response action requiring greater exposure than 10OCFR20 limits, vol unteers over forty-five years of age are considered first. Females of childbearing age shall not be permitted to receive exposures in excess of I0CFR20 limits.

Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Radiological Coordinator or Radiological Assessment Coordinator. Prior to entry into a suspected high radiation area, the individual's current year exposure is evaluated based upon previous thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings, and self-indicating dosimeter estimates since the last TLD reading.

3. Personnel Monitoringq
a. A Dosimeter of Legal Record (DLR) is issued to all emergency response personnel in the protected area. All Level II GET responders wear a DLR every work day; Level I GET responders are provided with a DLR at their onsite emergency facilities upon activation. This, in addition to both low and high range self-indicating dosimetry, is 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, through Entergy company dosimetry service agreements. Emergency workers are instructed to read self-indicating dosimeters frequently, and DLRs may be processed with increased periodicity.
b. Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with Station Radiation Protection Procedures.
4. Non-PNPS Personnel Exposure Authorization: The responsibility for authorizing non-PNPS emergency workers (i.e. Commonwealth and local agency emergency workers) and visitors to receive exposures in excess of the EPA General Public Protective Action Guides rests with the Commonwealth and local organizations, except when such emergency workers and visitors are onsite. Authorization of exposures in excess of EPA General Public Protective Action Guides, in this latter instance, rests with the Emergency Plant Manager.

5.. Decontamination and First Aid

a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by the Radiological Coordinator or Radiological Assessment Coordinator should conditions warrant.
b. Decontamination materials are stored in the Medical Building. Portable first-aid kits are available in the Engineering and Support Building and Medical Building. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination is initially treated by an on-shift EMP. 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-2 K-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The ambulance service contracted to the Plymouth Fire Department provides prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, Radiation Protection (RP) personnel accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance personnel.

Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth (primary) or to Morton Hospital (backup). Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for severe trauma, long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. RP personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.

6. Contamination Control
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 Radiological Coordinator.
b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination from restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Emergency supplies of food and drinking water are stored in sealed containers to prevent contamination. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in all Emergency Response facilities until such time as habitability surveys indicate that such activities are permissible.
c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use when contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel: Non-essential onsite personnel and non-PNPS personnel are evacuated to the Engineering and Support Building cafeteria, as discussed in Section J, "Protective Response". RP personnel at that location monitor evacuees and perform decontamination, as needed. Provisions for extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminants are available. If radiological or plant conditions warrant evacuation of onsite personnel to the offsite assembly area, Chiltonville Training Center will be used.

Radiation Protection personnel are dispatched to the assembly area to monitor for personnel contamination.

K-3 K-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section L: Medical and Public Health Support This section describes Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) arrangements for medical services for contaminated injured individuals sent from the Station.

1. Hospital Services: Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth is the primary care facility for treatment of contaminated injured persons, and evaluation of radiation exposure and radionuclide uptake. Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and five miles from PNPS.

Morton Hospital, located in Taunton, Massachusetts is designated as a back-up to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth. This hospital is equipped and trained to handle contaminated injured individuals (See Appendix 3, Sample Copies of Letters of Agreement.)

2. Onsite First Aid Capability: Personnel injuries involving possible radioactive contamination are initially treated by an on-shift EMP. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries in preference to decontamination. (See Section 0, Emergency Response Training, for training requirements).
3. Medical Service Facilities: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintains a list of public, private and military hospitals and other emergency medical facilities considered capable of providing medical support for any contaminated injured individuals.
4. Medical Transportation: PNPS has arranged with a local ambulance service for transporting victims of radiological accidents to medical support facilities. This service is contracted through the Plymouth Fire Department and is continuously available. (See Appendix 3, Sample Copies of Letters of Agreement).

L-1 Revision 45 L-1

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section M: Reentry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for reentry into the areas of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) which have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the PNPS Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.

1. Reentry: 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 reentry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides reentry into two separate categories:
a. Plant damage control, mitigation, repair and rescue activities are conducted during the emergency phase of an accident. This category of reentry is performed using emergency exposure controls and limits. Briefings for task activities and radiological controls may be provided verbally to dispatched personnel and documented afterwards.

Procedures provided to dispatched personnel for emergency activities can be taken from existing plant documents or developed on a case basis for the task.

All personnel dispatched from the onsite emergency facilities are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager and coordinated through the Operations Support Center Manager, the assigned Team Coordinator and the Radiological Coordinator if necessary.

The following items are considered when planning the dispatch of personnel during an emergency:

  • Team composition which considers:
  • Previous non-emergency exposure for ALARA considerations.
  • Exposure accumulated during the course of the emergency.
  • Experience with the assigned task.
  • Familiarity with any existing procedures or processes.
  • Physical capacity to perform the task.
  • Nature of the task including applicable procedures if available.
  • Equipment, tools, instrumentation and materials necessary for the task.
  • Physical location where the task is performed.
  • Safety precautions pertaining to both the task and to personnel.
  • Communications equipment, channels, backup and reporting expectations.

M-1 M-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Any special instructions applicable to the task or evolution.
  • Radiological controls associated with the activity.
b. Plant control, restoration, repair and maintenance activities are conducted during the recovery phase of an accident. This category of reentry is performed using exposure controls based on 10 CFR 20 limits and normal PNPS levels. Either existing procedures or procedures developed specifically for the task (developed, reviewed and approved through the normal plant administrative control process) are utilized for all recovery activities.

All personnel dispatched into hazardous areas, radiological or otherwise, during the recovery phase are authorized by the Recovery Plant Manager. The dispatch of personnel is coordinated through the applicable organizational structure (recovery or normal plant organization depending on the extent of the recovery).

2. Recovery: Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. The Emergency Director, with concurrence from the EOF Manager and the Emergency Plant 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:
  • Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? If so, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
  • Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specific;ation 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.
  • In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
  • Th~e potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
  • The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available.
  • Drywell pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
  • Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
  • All required notifications have been made.
  • Discussions have been held with Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
  • At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
  • Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
  • Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.

M-2 M-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN 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 a severe accident that some conditions remain which exceeds an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.

Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the PNPS 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.
  • For 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 PNPS 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 to maintain safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the PNPS Recovery and Corporate organization is put in place.

The specific members of the PNPS 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 PNPS Recovery Organization is as follows:

a. The Recovery Director is charged with the responsibility for directing the activities of the PNPS Recovery organization. These responsibilities include:
  • Ensuring that sufficient personnel from PNPS and other organizations are available to support recovery.
  • Directing the development of a recovery plan and procedures.
  • Ensuring that adequate engineering activities to restore the plant, are properly reviewed and approved. .
  • Deactivating any of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which was retained to aid in recovery, in the appropriate manner. Depending upon the type of accident and the onsite and offsite affects of the accident, portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization may remain in place after initiation of the recovery phase.
  • Coordinating the integration of available Federal and Commonwealth assistance into onsite recovery activities.
  • Coordinating the integration of PNPS support with Federal, Commonwealth and local authorities into required offsite recovery activities.
  • Approving information released by the public information organization which pertains to the emergency or the recovery phase of the accident.
  • Determining when the recovery phase is terminated.

The Senior Nuclear Executive or a designated alternate is the Recovery Director.

M-3 M-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

b. The Recovery Plant Managqer reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Coordinating the development and implementation of the recovery plan and procedures.
  • Directing all onsite activities in support of the recovery of PNPS.
  • Designating other PNPS recovery positions required in support of onsite recovery activities.

The Plant Operations General Manager or a designated alternate will become the Recovery Plant Manager.

c. The Recovery Offsite Managqer reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Providing liaison with offsite agencies and coordinating PNPS assistance for offsite recovery activities.
  • Coordinating, PNPS ingestion exposure pathway EPZ sampling activities and the development of an offsite accident analysis report.
  • Developing a radiological release report.
  • Designating other PNPS recovery positions required in Support of offsite recovery activities.

A senior Regulatory and Performance Improvement Group Management individual or a designated alternate is the Recovery Offsite Manager.

d. The Company Spokesperson reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Functioning as the official spokesperson to the media for PNPS on all matters relating to the accident or recovery.
  • Coordinating non-PNPS public information groups (Federal, Commonwealth, local, etc.).
  • Coordinating media monitoring and rumor control.
  • Determining what public information portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization will remain activated.

A senior PNPS management individual is designated as the Company Spokesperson.

The remainder of the PNPS Recovery Organization is established and an initial recovery plan developed at the end of the emergency phase or just after entry into the recovery phase. Consideration is given to recovery activity needs and use of the normal PNPS organizations. Individual recovery supervisors may be designated in any or all of the following areas:

  • Training
  • Radiation Protection
  • Chemistry
  • Technical Support
  • Engineering Support M-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Quality Assurance
  • Operations
  • Security
  • Maintenance
  • Special Offsite Areas (Community Representatives, Environmental Samples, Investigations, etc.)
3. Recovery Phase Notifications: When the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, all members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization are informed of the change. All personnel in the PNPS Nuclear Organization are instructed of the PNPS Recovery Organization and their responsibilities to the recovery effort.
4. Total Population Exposure: A method has been developed for estimating the total population exposure resulting from the accident. Total population exposure calculations are performed during the recovery phase of an accident. Cumulative data are collected from PNPS Emergency Response Organization records and release pathway filter analyses to estimate the source term. Data are obtained from offsite agencies to estimate the total exposed population. Environmental TLDs will be analyzed to provide additional data.

M-5 M-5 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section N: Drill and Exercise Program This section describes the Drill and Exercise Program that PNPS has implemented to:

  • Develop, maintain and evaluate the capabilities of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization to respond to emergency conditions and safeguard the health and safety of Station personnel and the general public.
  • identify deficiencies in the PNPS Emergency 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/Drills
a. 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 may simulate an emergency that results in the release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis is placed on development and conduct of an exercise that is more mechanistically and 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. Scenarios for biennial exercises are submitted to the NRC at least 60 days in advance of the exercise date as required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.F.2.a.
b. Exercises/Drills provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions.

In accordance with the PNPS Eight-Year DrilVExercise Plan, drills and exercises are conducted to ensure that all major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness program are demonstrated at least once in each eight-year period. At least one drill every eight years is started off-hours. Drills/Exercises are scheduled to be conducted at different times of the year. An unannounced drill is performed twice per eight-year cycle in accordance with the Eight-Year Plan.

c. Scenario elements to be addressed in the eight-year DrilV/Exercise Plan, as described in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.F.2.j include:
  • Hostile Action directed at the site
  • No/Minimal Radiological Release not requiring protective actions
  • Initial classification or rapid escalation to Site Area Emergency or General Emergency
  • Implementation of strategies developed under 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2)
  • Integration of offsite resources with onsite response N-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

2. Specialized Drills: PNPS conducts specialized drills for the purpose of testing, developing and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders. The specialized drills may include, but are not ,limited to the following:
a. Communication Drills: Communications capabilities with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local emergency operating centers (Carver, Kingston, Duxbury, Marshfield, and Plymouth) are tested monthly.

Operability of communication equipment between PNPS and the State of Rhode Island is tested quarterly.

Communications between PNPS and the PNPS Offsite Monitoring Teams are tested annually.

Other communication checks/drills are conducted in accordance with 10OCFR50, Appendix E.IV.E.

Each of these drills includes provisions to ensure that all participants in the test are able to understand the content of the messages (e.g. by requesting repeat-backs of information or verification of message transmittal forms).

b. Fire Drills: Drills for the PNPS Fire Brigade are conducted in accordance with Nuclear Organization and Station procedures.
c. Medical Emerqency Drills: Medical emergency drills, involving an individual who is simulated to be injured and contaminated, are conducted at least annually. These drills include participation by an ambulance service and at least one hospital who has agreed to provide assistance to PNPS in the event of an emergency at the Station.
d. Offsite Monitoringq Team Drills: Offsite Monitoring Team (OMT) drills are conducted at least annually and include provisions for the collection and analysis of environmental sample media (e.g. water, snow, vegetation, soil, and air), and the monitoring of radiological conditions outside the PNPS Protected Area. These drills include provisions for communications and record keeping.
e. Health Physics Drills: At least semi-annually, drills are conducted which involve response to, and analysis of, simulated airborne and liquid samples with elevated levels of activity. These drills also involve direct measurements of radiation levels in the Station. Normal station health physics rules and procedures are followed.
f. Augqmentation Drills: At least semi-annually, drills are conducted to test the ability to augment the on-shift organization. These drills are conducted using the following methods:
  • Activation of the EverBridge notification system with responders calling in their anticipated arrival times. The anticipated arrival times are then checked to confirm that the PNPS Emergency Response Organization could have been activated in a reasonable amount of time.

Activation of EverBridge, with actual response to Emergency Response Facilities.

N-2 N-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

g. Combined Functional Drills: Periodically, drills are conducted to test the interfacility coordination, communication, and operation among emergency facilities including the EOF, TSC, OSC, Joint Information Center (JIC), Incident Command Post (ICP) and Entergy Corporate.
3. Conduct of Drills and Exercises: For each emergency preparedness exercise or drill conducted, a scenario package is developed which includes at least the following information:
  • The objectives to be demonstrated during the drill or exercise,
  • Evaluation criteria to be used in determining the success of the drill or exercise,
  • Date(s), time(s), and place(s) of postulated events,
  • Scope of the drill or exercise and list of participating organizations,
  • The simulated sequence of events and the estimated schedule for major events
  • A narrative summary which includes at least the following information:

-Events that are postulated to occur

-Extent of simulation (e.g. will protective clothing be worn or simulated? Will offsite support be simulated? To what extent will the public information organization be exercised?),

-Briefing materials to be provided to official observers and information on arrangements made for them.

Prior approval of appropriate PNPS management is obtained for all drills and exercises conducted in support of the Emergency Preparedness Program.

4. Criteria and Evaluation: At the conclusion of each drill or exercise, a critique is conducted to evaluate the ability of the participants to implement the PNPS emergency plan and procedures. For drills or exercises involving only partial participation by offsite agencies, PNPS conducts a full, self-evaluation of activities; NRC representatives may be requested to observe these drills or exercises. For full participation exercises both the NRC and FEMA will observe and evaluate.
5. Resolution of Drill and Exercise Findingqs: The critique and evaluation process is used to identify areas of the PNPS emergency preparedness program, which require improvement.

,The Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director or his designee is responsible for evaluation of all recommendations and comments, and the determination regarding which of the items is to be incorporated into the Emergency Preparedness Program. Items identified for incorporation will be tracked through resolution using the appropriate station action tracking system.

PNPS Emergency Plan Activity 21: This activity revises an operational readiness activity for Emergency Planning staff members to more appropriately describe the administrative fujnction as overseeing the maintenance and readiness of Pilgrim Station's emergency communications equipment. This activity does not change intent, facilities, equipment or processes for this procedure or affect any planning standard elements. This activity does not affect the PNPS Emergency Plan. No further evaluation is required for this activity.

Activity 24: This activity replaces procedure "EP-IP-501, Transport of Contaminated Injured Personnel" with "PNPS 5.5.3, Medical Emergency Response Procedure" in the Cross Reference table. PNPS 5.3.3 incorporated appropriate elements of EP-IP-501 when it was retired concurrent with the removal of Emergency Action Level 5.3.1.1 from PNPS EALs and Emergency Plan revisions in 2004. This activity does not change intent, facilities,' equipment or processes for this procedure or affect any planning standard elements. This activity does not affect the PNPS Emergency Plan. No further evaluation is required for this activity.

Emergency planning elements 5-10 &14 in Part V of this form are affected by Items 11-13,15,18,19. A 10OCFR50.54 (q) evaluation will be performed to determine whether or not the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan is reduced and prior NRC approval is required.

Page N-I Part Ih. Description and Review of Licensing Basis Affected by the Proposed Change:

An EN-LI-la0, Process Applicability Determination was performed. The only relevant criteria or processes identified was the Emergency Plan (10 CFR 50.54(q)). The Emergency Plan review is addressed by this evaluation.

The PAD performed per EN-LI-I100 concluded that applicable portions of LBDs that were reviewed, including the PNPS Emergency Plan, Technical Specifications, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Quality Assurance Program Manual and UFSAR, are not affected by these PNPS Emergency Plan changes and did not contain any relevant additional information. The Nuclear Training Manual NTM5.5 and EN-TQ-l110 are not impacted by this Emergency Plan change.

The potentially affected section of the PNPS Emergency Plan included Section H, Emergency Facilities and Equipment,Section I, Accident Assessment, Section J, Protective Response, and Section N, Drill and Exercise Program. Proposed changes to the PNPS Emergency Plan were reviewed in consideration of other language within the PNPS Emergency Plan and in light of changes identified within the PNPS EPlan Chronology of changes, with no items identified for potential impact due to the proposed changes.

PNPS Licensing Correspondence Logs from 1976 through 2006, the Licensing Basis History and the EP Procedure Commitment listing were reviewed to determine if any commitments would be affected by the revision of this procedure. No applicable commitments were found.

Part Ill. Describe How the Proposed Change Complies with Relevant Emergency Preparedness Regulation(s) and Previous Commitment(s) Made to the NRC:

The following Emergency Planning standards and functions have been identified as potentially affected by these activities:

10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) - Adequate equipment is maintained to support emergency response.

Appendix E IV.E.1-4, IV.E.8. and IV.G - Emergency Facilities and Equipment; Maintaining Emergency Preparedness Site Compliance: The activities within Part I of this form continue to ensure that adequate equipment is maintained to support emergency response with changes required for the implementation of the 160' meteorological tower Engineering Change.

  • A range of protective actions is available for plant emergency workers during emergencies, including those for hostile action events.

Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 does not contain any support requirements. Informing criteria appear in NUREG-0654 in Sections ll.J.1-8, Section lI.J.1O, and Supplement 3 and the PNPS Emergency Plan.

10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) - Drill and Exercise Program

  • A drill and exercise program (including radiological, medical, health physics, and other program areas) is established.

Sections IV.F.1-2 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 provide supporting requirements. Informing criteria appear in Section II.N of NUREG-0654 and the PNPS Emergency Plan.

IPart V. Description of Impact of the Proposed Change on the Effectiveness of Emergency Plan Functions:

11. Add "to the Emergency Plant Information Computer (220 foot)" and "to the station's business Local Area Network (160 foot)" to the Meteorological Monitoring section. Page H-6
12. Delete "Meteorological data is also sent to and retrieved from the PNPS meteorological computer system." Page H-6
15. Add "via the station's business Local Area Network. Data from both towers is also available" in the Meteorological Information section. Page I-2 Activities *11, 12 & 15 are implementing changes for Engineering Change 52947, which installed a new 160' Meteorological Tower at Pilgrim Station. Activities 11 & 15 clarify and update the locations where data from the 220' and 160' meteorological towers is available. The PNPS meteorological computer system referred to in Activity 12 provided data from the old 160' Meteorological Tower data logger to the EOF. Because 160' meteorological tower data in this new system is available on a web page for viewing from any business network computer that has Internet Explorer 11 installed, there is no longer a need for this computer. The Engineering Change had this computer system removed from the EOF. These activities will not reduce the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan because meteorological data continues to be available from both meteorological towers to support Dose Assessment and other activities.
13. Delete "Full Face Respirators" from Table H-I. Page H-8 Activity 13 deletes "Full Face Respirators" from Table H-I. Table H-I is a list of typical offsite monitoring equipment. Respiratory protection for surveys or actions offsite was deemed NOT required in revision I of ENN-PL-140, Emergency Response Organization Respiratory Protection Guidelines, effective 11/16/2006.

The decision to remove respiratory protection requirements for surveys or actions offsite was based on concerns identified, including the following described in the attachment to the Assignee Response to CR-PNP-201 5-462:

EN-EP-305 REV 3

T ATTACHMENT 9.2 10OCFR50.54(q) EVALUATION PAGE 4 OF: 5 Procedure/Document Number: EP-PP-01 Revision: 45 Equipment/Facility/Other: Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station

Title:

PNPS Emergency Plan

1) Respirators provide no protection at all against noble gases and little if any protection against iodine (protection factor of 1 even with an iodine cartridge). Respirators protect only against particulates and a particulate release is not expected except in the most extreme accident scenarios. Even in that case, by the time particulates become an inhalation hazard in the environment, noble gases will almost certainly be the controlling factor for dose to environmental field teams (and, once again, respirators provide no protection against noble gases). Respirators provide only the "illusion" of protection. In order to provide protection against iodine it would be necessary for the OMT personnel to actually wear SCBA equipment which is completely impractical in a vehicle.
2) The company's policy was inconsistent with the State's policy of not providing respirators for state and town emergency workers.
3) It is unsafe for an OMT driver to actually wear a respirator while driving a vehicle. It restricts peripheral vision and the filter cartridge can create an obstruction while turning the steering wheel or if the driver turns his head. This would create an unacceptable risk of serious automotive accidents.
4) The use of respirators may cause or contribute to a panic if evacuating members of the general public observe a monitoring team wearing respirators when the public has none.

Removing Full Face Respirators from Table H-i will not reduce the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan because a range of protective actions continues to be available for plant emergency workers during emergencies. This activity does not affect onsite emergency plant personnel and offsite emergency response personnel are not negatively affected as described in the reasoning above.

18. Change "drill/exercise" to "drill". Page N-I
19. Change "An unannounced drill/exercise is included in the Eight-Year Plan" to "An unannounced drill is performed twice per eight-year cycle in accordance with the Eight-Year Plan." Page N-i Activities 18 & 19 update the Exercises/Drills sub-section of the Drill and Exercises Program section.

"drill/exercise" in Activities 18 & 19 was changed to "drill" per NUREG-0654 Supplement 4, which states that FEMA no longer requires OROs to participate in off-hours and unannounced exercises. Activity 18 updates the PNPS Emergency Plan to agree with the procedural requirements of Fleet procedure EN-EP-306, "Drills and Exercises". There is no reduction in the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan because these changes are in accordance with regulation and in the case of Activity 19, an increase in the frequency of unannounced drills performed.

Conclusion Reqiardinqi Impact The proposed changes to EP-PP-01, the PNPS Emergency Plan, continue to meet the planning standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(9), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). The effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan is not reduced. The PNPS Emergency Plan changes can be incorporated without prior NRC approval.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Part 1: INTRODUCTION Section A: Purpose This document describes the emergency preparedness program for Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS). The terms "PNPS" and "plant" as used in this document include the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), except where it is obvious by usage or context that the term only applies to the power plant. The term "facility," when used to describe the nuclear power plant also includes the ISFSI. 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 PNPS and the personnel who work at the plant.

The PNPS Emergency 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 PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions.

This Plan documents the methods by which the PNPS Emergency Preparedness Program meets the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CER), Part 50, Section 47(b) and Appendix E.

Section B: Background PNPS is located in the town of Plymouth, Plymouth County, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at 410 56.69 min. North, 70° 34.74 min. West. It is situated on the western coast of Cape Cod Bay, on approximately 1600 acres of land, owned by Entergy. The plant is a General Electric Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design and produces a net electrical output of 689 megawatts. A detailed description of the plant is given in the PNPS Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). The ISFSI consists of HI-STORM vertical dry spent fuel storage casks on a concrete slab located within the protected area. A detailed description of the HI-STORM storage casks is given in the HI-STORM 100 Cask System FSAR.

The primary hazard consideration at PNPS is the potential unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from an accident at the plant. 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 a solid emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station.

10 CFR 72.32 specifies the regulatory requirements for an ISFSI emergency plan. In accordance with 10 CFR 72.32(c), the emergency plan for a nuclear power reactor satisfies the requirements for an emergency plan for an ISFSI which is located within the exclusion area of the nuclear power reactor, and therefore a separate ISFSI emergency plan is not required.

vii viiRevision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section C: Scope This document describes actions to be taken in the event of an accident at PNPS which might lead to impact on the health and safety of the general public.

If such an accident were to occur, the PNPS Emergency Response Organization (as defined in this plan) would be put in place and maintained until such time the plant was returned to a stable condition and the threat to the general public no longer existed. This plan describes the operation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. It does not, nor is it intended to provide guidance for actual plant equipment manipulations. These instructions are contained in PNPS normal and emergency operating procedures as required by Technical Specifications and other regulatory guidance. An emergency recovery phase is also described in this plan.

Section D: Planningq Basis Development of this plan was based on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors," and 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. Other applicable regulations, publications and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with PNPS documents to ensure consistency in the planning effort.

This plan was developed in coordination with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan, Hazard Annex: "Radiological Emergency Response" and local community emergency response plans.

Section E: Form and Content of Plan This plan is Appendix N of the PNPS Unit 1 FSAR but is maintained as a separate document.

This Plan has been formatted in a manner 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.

The use of this format lends itself to verification of meeting the criteria set forth in NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". Appendix 2, "Procedure Cross-Reference to Sections of the Plan", provides a cross-reference between this plan and the PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing and Administrative Procedures.

This plan is updated as necessary, in accordance with guidance provided by Emergency Preparedness Administrative Procedures viii viiiRevision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section A: Assignment of Responsibility This section describes the primary responsibilities for emergency response by Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), Federal, State, Commonwealth, and local organizations within the PNPS 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.

1. Concept of Operations: The relationships and the concept of operations for the organizations and agencies supporting a response in the PNPS Emergency Planning.Zones are as follows:
a. Identified below are Federal, Commonwealth, State, local, and private organizations that are involved in a response to an emergency at PNPS.

Federal Agqencies: The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how the Nation conducts all-hazards response. It is built upon scalable, flexible, and adaptable coordinating structures to align key roles and responsibilities across the Nation. It also describes specific authorities and best practices for managing incidents that range from the serious but purely local, to large-scale terrorist attacks or catastrophic natural disasters. The NRF does not alter the NRC's independent authority or impede its ability to respond to events involving NRC-licensed facilities or materials. As outlined in the Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex; the NRC is responsible to: (a) independently assess facility conditions and monitor licensee response

>activities; (b) ensure that appropriate protective action recommendations are communicated to the Commonwealth and local officials; (c) keep the public informed of the NRC's understanding of the event; and, (d) if necessary, the Chairman may invoke his authority to intervene and issue orders that may direct the licensee's response activities on-site.

The NRF is supported by annexes, including the Emergency Support Functions Annex, Support Annexes, and Incident Annexes for specific types of incidents. The annexes provide concepts of operations, procedures, and structures to assist partners with their respective response directives in fulfilling their roles under the NRF.

The Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex to the NRF states that the NRC is the Coordinating Agency for events occurring at NRC-licensed facilities and for radioactive materials licensed either by the NRC or under the NRC's Agreement States Program. As Coordinating Agency, NRC has technical leadership for the Federal government's response to the event.

The primary Federal response at PNPS supporting an emergency includes:

  • Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), who acts as technical/regulatory advisors to PNPS during an emergency. They provide Federal communications capabilities, coordination of Federal assistance, and assessment of onsite radiological incidents and potential offsite consequences.

A-1 Revision 45 A-I

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), who maintains the Interagency Radiological Assistance Program (IRAP) which provides radiological assistance to utilities, state, and local governments upon request. This assistance is provided through Brookhaven National Laboratory located in Long Island, New York.
  • Department of Homeland Security(DHS)/Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who coordinates the overall offsite Federal response and provides Federal resources and assistance to state and local governments.
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who assists with field radiological monitoring/sampling and non-plant related recovery and reentry guidance.
  • u.s. Coast Guard, who assists the Commonwealth and local authorities in the event of a radiological incident which involves a hazard over water.
  • National Weather Service, who provides meteorological information to PNPS in the event that the onsite meteorological tower or monitoring instrumentation becomes inoperative. The National Weather Service is located in Taunton, MA.

Commonwealth Agqencies: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) provides for assistance from the Commonwealth agencies described below. The plan calls for supplemental support from Federal, Commonwealth, and local agencies.

A-8 A-8 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

e. The PNPS Emergency Response Organization is composed of pre-designated Station personnel available and trained to augment the on-shift complement in an emergency.

Procedures for training and maintenance of the emergency organization are in place to assure 24-hour per day staffing for emergency response. The normal on-shift complement provides the initial response to an emergency. This group is trained to handle emergency situations, e.g. initiate the implementation of the PNPS Emergency Plan, and make initial accident assessment, emergency classification, notifications, and protective action recommendations until Emergency Response Organization activation Occurs.

2. Commonwealth and Local Functions and Responsibilities: The Commonwealth, the local towns and reception center communities have Radiological Emergency Response Plans (RERPs) that specify the responsibilities and functions for the major agencies, departments, and key individuals of their emergency response organizations. This information is located in their respective plans.
3. Agreements in Planning Effort: Written agreements with support organizations having an emergency response role within the PNPS EPZs (including hospitals and medical transportation) are provided in Appendix 3, "Copies of Letters of Agreement". These agreements identify the emergency measures to be provided, the mutually accepted criteria for implementation, and the arrangements for exchange of information. Federal, Commonwealth, State, and local agencies that have response functions covered by laws, regulations, or executive orders have developed plans to meet these functions. These approved Plans serve as written agreements for agencies response to an incident at PNPS.
4. Continuous Coverage: The PNPS Emergency Response Organization has sufficient numbers of qualified, trained personnel to provide the capability of continuous (24-hour) operations. The PNPS Emergency Telephone Directory is reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis and identifies these individuals. The Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director administers the program to ensure availability of resources in the event of an emergency. The Emergency Director has the authority and is responsible for assuring continuity of resources (technical, administrative, and material) in the event of the activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization.

A-10 A-la Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section B: Station Emergency Organization This section describes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization, its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among PNPS response personnel and specifies offsite support available to respond to the PNPS.

1. PNPS Emergency Response Organization Assignments: Table B-I outlines the PNPS on-shift complement and their emergency duties. Members of the on-shift organization are trained on their responsibilities and duties in the event of an emergency, and are capable of performing all response actions in an Unusual Event, and the initial actions of higher classifications. Table B-I further lists key PNPS Emergency Response Organization positions required to meet minimum augmentation capabilities for the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification. Each Emergency Response Facility lead has the authority to, if necessary to make the facility operational, designate personnel to fill Emergency Response Organization positions. These designations should be limited to one shift or until assigned personnel arrive.

The normal PNPS personnel complement is established with the Senior Nuclear Executive having overall authority for Station operations (the Shift Manager always retains the responsibility for actual operation of plant systems). The Senior Nuclear Executive directs senior Nuclear Organization staff in the management of the various department/organizations. When an emergency is declared, the normal organization structure is replaced by the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. PNPS Emergency Response Organization personnel are selected based on comparison of the emergency functions they are to perform with their normal daily tasks and prior training. EN-EP-801, Emergency Response Organization, outlines position responsibilities for the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. Key positions are normally filled from the Nuclear Organization as listed below. However, due to the large amount of cross training and diversification across all areas within the Nuclear Organization, positions can be staffed from any part of the Nuclear Organization where personnel may be found with the capacity and expertise to perform the assigned emergency function as described in EN-EP-801.

a. The Emergqency Director is a member of the PNPS senior management staff.
  • The RadiologicalAssessment Coordinatoris normally from the Radiation Protection Group or Plant Management Staff.
b. The Emerqencv Plant Manaqer is a member of the PNPS senior management staff. "
  • The Emergency Plant Operations Supervisor is a member of Plant Operations who holds an operator's license on PNPS.
  • The Operations Support Center Manager is assigned from Plant Management Staff.
  • The TSC Security Coordinatoris assigned from Security Management Staff.
  • The Radiological Coordinatoris the Radiation Protection Manager or a designated senior member of Radiation Protection.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section C: Emergency Response Support and Resources This section describes the provisions for requesting and effectively utilizing support resources and for accommodating Commonwealth and local staff at the PNPS Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

1. Federal Response Support and Resources: Assistance is available from Federal agencies through the National Response Framework (NRF). The primary Federal agencies who provide assistance to the Commonwealth and PNPS, respectively, are the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Other Federal agencies, through the NRF, provide assistance to the Commonwealth in an emergency.

a. Sections A and B of this Plan identify the specific persons by title who are authorized to request Federal assistance.
b. Federal agencies that may provide assistance in direct support of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) in the event of an accident are identified in Section A of this plan. If needed, Federal resources are made available to PNPS in an expeditious and timely manner.
c. Each PNPS emergency response facility has the equipment and communications capability necessary for a continuous high level of response, interaction and communication among key personnel during emergency conditions. The Technical Support Center (TSC) is able to accommodate seven NRC representatives. Working areas are available and a desk has been provided for their use. The EOF has space to accommodate twelve NRC representatives as well as representatives from FEMA, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

In addition to PNPS facilities and equipment, Commonwealth and local facilities and equipment are available to support the Federal response. Among these are the Commonwealth Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) in Framingham and Bridgewater and local EOCs in Plymouth, Duxbury, Carver, Kingston and Marshfield, and Reception Centers in Taunton, Bridgewater and Braintree.

2. Liaisons:
a. The NRC, FEMA, MEMA, and MDPH may dispatch representatives to the EOF where accommodations have been provided.
b. At the Alert level and above, PNPS liaisons are dispatched to the Commonwealth and local government EOCs to act as communications liaisons and to provide clarification of emergency response information.

C-1 C-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

3. Radiologqical Laboratories: If the offsite radioiogicai monitoring and environmental sampling operation exceeds the capacity of the PNPS capabilities, the radiological analytical capability of other non-affected Entergy nuclear sites, Commonwealth and Federal agencies and other utilities can be used to analyze radiological samples. As discussed in Section A. 1, this additional capability is integrated into existing support efforts and concept of operations in responding to a declared emergency at PNPS. Section H.6 also provides more details on the offsite radiological monitoring support that can be used at PNPS.
4. Other Assistance: Contracted services, as listed in the Emergency Telephone Directory (ETD), are available and may be used in support of an emergenc~y response at PNPS.

Though not a typical contracted service, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INFO) is able to provide:

  • Assistance in locating sources of emergency manpower and equipment,
  • An organization of industry experts who could advise the utility on technical matters, and
  • Analysis of operational aspects of the incident.

Through INFO, nuclear sites have identified technical experts and specialized equipment that could be provided upon request in an emergency. The INFO Emergency Resources Manual includes the information necessary to locate and request specialized equipment and technical assistance in the event of a nuclear emergency at PNPS. INFO member utilities and suppliers agree to provide assistance as outlined in the INFO Emergency Resources Manual.

C-2 C-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section 0: 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 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures. The initial response of Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by PNPS. PNPS works closely with the Commonwealth and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces. *

1. Emeraqency Classification: This Plan provides for four classifications of emergency conditions. These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. However, during a safeguards contingency event, actions may be taken that depart from the immediate requirements specified for each of the four classification levels when those actions are immediately needed to protect the health and safety of members of the public or the plant staff. Those actions may include suspension, delay or modification of activities that could endanger the safety of members of the public, plant staff or security force or which could interfere with an effective response to the safeguards contingency event. 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.) that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. Table D-1 outlines the example conditions of abnormal symptoms and events, which would require declaration of an emergency at PNPS. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure used for classification of an event includes specific instrument readings and equipment status for establishing the symptoms and events appropriate for each classification. A conservative philosophy for classification is used to declare the highest emergency classification for which an EAL has been exceeded. PNPS 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. The four classification levels are:

a. Unusual Event - Event(s) 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. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

This is the least severe of the four (4) levels. The purpose of this classification is to bring the PNPS staff and offsite agencies to a state of readiness in the event the situation degrades.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.
  • Notification of certain members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization to standby (portions of the organization may be activated at this classification).

D-1 D-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Notification of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by transmission of an Initial Notification Form indicating that the event has been terminated.
b. Alert - Event(s) are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or probable damage to site equipment because of Hostile Action. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. The purpose of this classification is to ensure emergency personnel are readily available to respond, ifthe situation becomes more serious, and relieve the Control Room of some required actions so that the operations shift can concentrate on restoring the level of safety to the plant.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary which may include escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.

Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), Joint Information Center (JIC), and notification of Entergy Corporate.

  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in the response (i.e., NRC, Commonwealth, State, and Local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

D-2 0-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

c. Site Area Emer~qency - Event(s) are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or Hostile Action that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. The Site Area Emergency class also includes events where a significant release of radioactive material is likely or is occurring but significant core degradation is not indicated based on current information.

The purpose of this classification is to ensure that all emergency response centers are manned, offsite monitoring teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched, personnel required to evacuate near-site areas are in position and provisions are made for information updates to the public through offsite authorities and the news media.

Required actions at this classification include:

  • Notification, within 15 minutes, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local communities.
  • Assessment of the situation and response as necessary, this includes escalating to a higher classification if conditions warrant.
  • Activation of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which includes activation of the TSC, 0S0, EOF, Joint Information Center and Corporate Emergency Response Group. Offsite Monitoring Teams are sent to staging areas or dispatched to monitor for releases of radiation to the environment.
  • Notification of the NRC immediately after notification of the appropriate Commonwealth and Local Agencies and not later than an hour after classification.
  • Keeping offsite authorities informed of plant status by providing one hour updates to include meteorological data and projected or actual doses for any releases which have occurred.
  • When the event is terminated, close-out is performed over communication links followed by an Initial Incident Report to offsite authorities participating in response (i.e., NRC, Commonwealth, State and Local) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
d. General Emeroency - Event(s) are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or Hostile Action that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.

Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. This is the most severe classification of an emergency. The purpose of this classification is to initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, provide continuous assessment of information from monitoring groups and provide information updates to the public through offsite authorities and the news media.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section E: Notification Methods and Procedures This section describes the notification of Commonwealth and local response organizations and PNPS emergency response personnel. It outlines the content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations within the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).

1. Response Orgqanization Notification: PNPS, in cooperation with Commonwealth and local authorities, has established mutually agreeable methods for notification of response organizations consistent with the emergency classification and action level scheme.

When an emergency is declared, reclassified, or terminated, the Emergency Director ensures notifications are promptly made to first-line offsite support agencies. These first-line notification contacts are:

  • The local communities within the Plume Exposure EPZ and reception communities are notified by a dedicated notification network, with BECONS or commercial telephone as backups. These communities are Plymouth, Carver, Duxbury,',

Kingston, Marshfield, Bridgewater and Taunton.

  • The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is notified by a dedicated telephone system called the Emergency Notification System (ENS), or for backup, by commercial telephone. Initial notification occurs from the Control Room.
2. Notification and Mobilization of Emergqency Response Personnel: At the Unusual Event classification, the PNPS Emergency Response Organization is notified and may be activated at the discretion of the Emergency Director. At the Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency classification level, activation of the Emergency Response Organization and related facilities is required. If the nature of the event threatens the safety of the ERO, onsite personnel may be directed to the Alternative Facility at the Chiltonville Training Center or requested to remain in place until the security of the site is restored.

Announcements are made from the Control Room over the plant public address system to notify on-site personnel of plant-related emergency response information. In addition to the public address system, emergency organization personnel are notified by pagers or telephone calls using the EverBridge notification system. Backup systems~to EverBridge include the use of the EverBridge alternate voice activation process or initiating telephone call-outs of emergency response personnel.

Non-emergency station response is discussed under Station Procedure 1.3.12.1, "Non-Emergency Notification of Management".

E-1 E-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

3. Initial Notification: The initial emergency message form includes information about:
  • Notification Type, i.e. "This is a Drill" or "This is an Actual Event."
  • Identity of caller and receiver of call
  • Emergency classification
  • Emergency action level identification and whether a release is in progress
  • Wind direction and speed
  • Whether protective measures may be necessary
  • The date and time of classification and notification Initial notifications are delivered to the Commonwealth and local communities within fifteen (15) minutes of classification of an event. In a General Emergency the initial notification will also include protective action recommendations to the affected EPZ sub-areas. Section J.7 provides a detail description of the possible recommendations that may be issued at the General Emergency classification.
4. Follow-up Messages: The Emergency Director ensures communications are maintained with the offsite authorities through periodic follow-up messages. The follow-up messages include the following, as appropriate:
a. Location of incident and name of caller and receiver of call, whether a drill or not a drill.
b. Time and date of the incident.
c. Class of emergency.
d. Type of actual or potential radiological release (airborne, waterborne, surface spill).
e. Whether or not [estimate of quantity of] radioactive material has been released or is being released and the points and heights of releases.
f. Radiological release information, including estimates of the relative quantities and concentrations of noble gases, halogens, and particulates.
g. Meteorological conditions at appropriate levels (wind speed, direction to and from, stability, precipitation).
h. Actual or projected dose rates at the site boundary, projected integrated dose at site boundary.
i. Projected dose rates and integrated dose at the projected peak and at 2, 5, and 10 miles, including subarea(s) affected.
j. Estimate of any surface contamination in-plant, onsite, or offsite.
k. Plant emergency response actions underway.

I. Recommended emergency actions, including protective measures.

E-2 E-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

m. Request for any needed onsite support by offsite organizations.
n. Prognosis for worsening or termination of event based on plant information.
5. Commonwealth and Local Information Dissemination: Commonwealth and local government organizations, in cooperation with PNPS, have established a system for disseminating appropriate information to the public. The system includes notification through appropriate broadcast media, e.g. the Emergency Alert System (EAS).
6. Notification of the Public: The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency and the Towns of Plymouth, Carver, Kingston, Duxbury and Marshfield have the capability for providing an alert signal to their population within fifteen (15) minutes following the decision to notify the public.

PNPS, in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local agencies, has developed the Prompt Alert and Notification System (PANS). PANS is the primary method of notifying the public. This system consists of one hundred and thirteen (113) large scale electronic sirens and five (5) primary radio stations covering the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. The sirens alert the public to tune their radios to pre-designated EAS stations to receive instructional messages.

Pre-scripted messages are broadcast by the EAS network along with any protective actions directed by the Governor of Massachusetts from recommendations made by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency will select and initiate broadcast of appropriate EAS messages for the EPZ Towns. EAS messages are supplemented by news advisories prepared by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.

The siren system is equipped with public address capability. This capability is utilized for early notification to the beach and resident population of the Saquish/Gurnet area. It may also be utilized by any of the towns at any time.

As a backup means of public notification, route alert teams, using public address systems, drive through areas where a siren failure has been indicated and broadcast an alert message which instructs the public to tune to an EAS station. Maps and instructions have been developed for each siren coverage area.

Severely hearing-impaired residents are called by the Town Emergency Response Organization using Teletypewriter (TTY) equipment.

Schools, major employers with 50 employees or more, transient shelters, health care facilities, and recreation areas are notified by tone alert radios activated by the EAS tone.

The pubiic and commercial boating population receives notification from the Harbor Master and U. S. Coast Guard boats equipped with public address systems. Additional notification is also completed by marine and Citizens Band (CB) radios to those boats that are radio equipped.

Beach and pond visitors are notified by personnel from the Police Department or Public Works Department driving public address system equipped vehicles.

E-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Messagqes to the Public: The Commonwealth has developed draft EAS and News Advisory messages that are intended for the public. These draft messages are included as part of the Commonwealth's plan and procedures and contain instructions with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by Occupants and visitors of affected areas such as: take shelter and go indoors, close windows and doors, turn off ventilation systems; directions given for evacuation; directions to stay tuned to specific stations for further information and instructions, ad hoc respiratory protection (e.g. handkerchief over mouth), etc. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintains a stockpile of KI to be made available to emergency workers, institutionalized persons who cannot be evacuated, and the general public. The MDPH and MEMA provide information about the use of KI and how and where to obtain it. PNPS also provides supporting information for messages through the MEMA.

E-4 E-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section F: Emergqency Communications This section describes the emergency communications equipment available to support the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization. It outlines the available communications equipment to:

  • Notify the PNPS Emergency Response Organization.
  • Provide Initial Notification to Offsite governmental agencies.
  • Communicate among the PNPS Emergency Response Facilities.
  • Communicate with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and other Federal, Commonwealth, and local response agencies.
  • Communicate with hospitals, ambulances, and other agencies providing offsite assistance to PNPS.

This section further outlines the program for insuring that the communications equipment is tested on a regular schedule, and that methods are in place to ensure rapid and reliable repair of any equipment found not operational.

I. Communications/Notifications: Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station maintains the capability to make initial notifications to both the PNPS Emergency Response Organization and designated offsite agencies on a 24-hour per day basis. Figure F-I depicts the initial Notification paths and the organizational titles from PNPS to local and Commonwealth emergency response organizations. Those links that are manned 24-hours per day are indicated on Figure F-i. Table F-I depicts the primary and alternate method of communicating between various PNPS facilities, with offsite facilities, and with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Table F-I also depicts the provisions for communications with Commonwealth and site radiological monitoring teams. Table F-2 shows available communications equipment within each of the PNPS emergency response facilities.

PNPS utilizes the EverBridge notification system to rapidly notify members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. EverBridge is a computer system (both hardware and software) that notifies the ERO of an emergency via a number of modalities (i.e., telephone, pager, text, email). This system provides a primary notification through the computerized system with Interactive Voice Response (telephone) alternate activation capability. The decision process used to activate EverBridge is specified in appropriate Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

If the EverBridge computerized system should fail, Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures specify the course of action to be taken. These procedures require using the Alternate EverBridge Voice Activation, if available, or initiating individual telephone call-outs of emergency response personnel.

F-1 F-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Dedicated telephone equipment, such as the Emergency Notification System (ENS), is in place in the Control Room (CR), Technical Support Center (TSC), and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). This allows direct communications to the NRC and other Federal emergency response organizations. The ENS is the primary notification system used for NRC notification. In addition to the ENS, administratively dedicated telephones serving as the Health Physics Network (HPN) are used in the TSC and EOF for the transmittal of radiological information to the NRC. It is under the National Response Framework (NRF) that PNPS requests assistance from Federal agencies.

Additional arrangements have been made to allow for the establishment of NRC communications equipment at the EOF.

a. PNPS Radio Communications System: A comprehensive communications network with backup capabilities has been provided to assure reliable onsite and offsite communications between various emergency facilities and agencies as follows:
  • Pilgqrim Alert Radio: This radio system, used on a daily basis, provides backup for communications among PNPS facilities. It is a backup notification method from the Station to Massachusetts State Police Middleboro barracks.
  • PNPS Security Radio: This radio system is used at PNPS exclusively for security purposes; it also serves as a backup communications link between PNPS Emergency Response Facilities..
  • Nuclear Incident Advisory Team (NIAT) Radio: This radio system is used by the Commonwealth to direct radiological teams from the EOF.
  • PNPS Offsite Monitoringq Team Radio: This repeater radio frequency is used during emergencies for the exclusive use of the monitoring teams to communicate with the EOF.
  • BECONS: BECONS is a dedicated VHF high band radio repeater system.

BECONS is used by PNPS as the backup notification method to the DNN. BECONS is also used for the transmittal of administrative information among offsite authorities and as the primary method of notification for back up siren activation.

b. PNPS Telecommunications Systems: In addition to the above radio systems, the following phone systems are in place to support the emergency efforts:
  • PNPS Telephone System: A private telephone system connecting all PNPS offices.

At PNPS and the EOF, portions of the telephone system are powered by uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and generator backup power.

  • Local Commercial Telephone System: This system provides standard commercial telephone service through the Verizon infrastructure, consisting of central offices and the wire line and microwave carrier.
  • Cellular Telephones: A cellular telephone is provided in the Shift Manager's office in the Control Room, TSC, OSC, CAS and SAS as a backup to the local commercial telephone system.
  • Satellite Telephones: A satellite telephone is provided in the Shift Manager's office in the Control Room and EOF as a backup to the local commercial telephone system.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section G: Public Education and Information This section describes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power.Station (PNPS) public education and information program. It outlines the methods for distributing public information materials on an annual basis and describes how the public is informed in the event of an emergency.

1. Public Information Publication: The emergency public information publication for PNPS is an annual calendar which is developed in coordination with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH), and local communities. It is distributed by mail to all residents and businesses within the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The contents of the calendar include the following:
a. Educational information on radiation;
b. Commonwealth and EPZ community contacts for additional information;
c. Definitions of protective measures as well as written descriptions of evacuation routes, locations of reception centers, steps to follow when sheltering or evacuating;
d. Special needs of the handicapped, and
e. Relocation points for school children.
2. Public Education Materials: In addition to the emergency public information calendar, placards are posted throughout the EPZ communities. The placards provide information to visitors about what to do when the sirens sound, evacuation routes and where to obtain additional emergency information. Emergency information and instructions are also provided in local telephone directories.
3. Joint Information Center
a. The Joint Information Center, located at the Entergy Industrial Park Training Center in Plymouth, provides a location for the news media to receive information from all involved agencies and companies during an emergency and provide it to the general public.

Work areas are set up for the news media and telephones are installed for their use. If, due to radiological or other conditions, the Joint Information Center is found to be uninhabitable, it will be relocated to the Alternate Joint Information Center at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater. Comparable facilities for both the Joint Information Center staff and media representatives are available at the alternate facility.

b. During an emergency, the Emergency Director may approve access to the Emergency Operations Facility for a limited number of news media.
4. Coordination of Public Information
a. The PNPS Company Spokesperson is the primary spokesperson for PNPS during an emergency. The Company Spokesperson has direct access to all necessary information (see Section B.5).

G-1 Revision 45 G-.1

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

b. The Joint Information Center is staffed by Federal and Commonwealth emergency management agencies and PNPS to assure timely exchange and coordination of information. Representatives coordinate information prior to distributing news releases and prior to news briefings.
c. Rumors or misinformation are identified during an emergency by the Information Coordinator and Inquiry Response Coordinator located at the Joint Information Center.

They respond to media calls and broadcasts and reports of misinformation or rumors are forwarded to the Inquiry Response Coordinator and Information Coordinator, and then forwarded to the JIC Manager and/or Company Spokesperson for an appropriate response by Joint Information Center staff. Rumor control is also provided for by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.

5. Media Orientation: The annual PNPS Media Orientation is coordinated with offsite agencies to acquaint the news media with emergency plans, basics of nuclear power operation and radiation fundamentals. The news media typically are provided a tour of the Joint Information Center or other emergency response facilities.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section H: Emergency Facilities and Equipment This section describes the emergency facilities and equipment used by the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Emergency Response Organization. It outlines the facilities and equipment requirements which aid in the timely and accurate response by the PNPS Emergency Response Organization. It also describes the surveillance programs used to monitor and insure that these facilities and equipment are maintained in a high degree of constant readiness.

1. Technical Support Center (TSC'). Operations Support Center (OSC). and the Control Room:

PNPS has established an onsite Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (0S0). The TSC and OSC are activated upon declaration of an Alert or above or at the discretion of the Emergency Director (ED) or Shift Manager. Until they become operational, required functions of these facilities are performed in the Control Room.

The Control Room is located on the 37' elevation of the Turbine Building. The Control Room is the focal point for all plant operational activities. The Control Room contains the instrumentation, control devices and displays necessary for operation of the reactor and turbine generator under normal and emergency situations.

The Control Room is staffed by Licensed Nuclear Plant Operators and Senior Licensed Nuclear Plant Operators. All plant-related operations are directed from the Control Room and supervised by the Shift Manager. During emergency operating conditions, only those personnel who are required for the safe operation of the plant are allowed access to the Control Room.

The TSC and OSC along with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) are the primary emergency response facilities in support of the Control Room. The primary emergency response facilities have been designed and built to withstand the most adverse conditions reasonably expected during the design life of the plant including adequate capabilities for earthquakes, high winds and floods. Each facility is equipped with fire alarm and suppression systems, and back-up diesel generated electrical power.

The TSC is located within the Protected Area on the ground floor of the Operations and Maintenance Building. The TSC provides facilities near the Control Room for technical, engineering and management support of operations personnel during emergency conditions. It also permits direct interface of management personnel with the plant operators, if necessary.

The TSC has a large working area with space sufficient to accommodate the pre-designated TSC staff. The TSC is also able to accommodate seven (7) NRC representatives. Working areas are available and a desk has been provided for NRC use.

The TSC is the primary communications link between the Control Room and the EOF. It also acts as an onsite communications center for the plant during an emergency.

Additional engineering support may be activated from the Nuclear Engineering Staff.

Specific personnel assignments are determined at the time of the emergency by the TSC Manager and the Operations Coordinator based on the type of incident occurring at the Station.

H-1 H-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The 0S0 is located on the ground floor of the Operations and Maintenance Building next to the TSC. The OSC is an onsite assembly area separated from the Control Room and the TSC where pre-designated support personnel report in an emergency. All personnel dispatched into the Plant in an emergency are coordinated through the 0S0 after its activation. Response teams dispatched from the OSC may include search and rescue, repair and corrective actions, damage assessment/control, onsite/in-plant survey, first aid, and fire fighting to support accident mitigation activities.

The Chiltonville Training Center is an alternative facility, with communication capabilities for contacting the Control Room, plant security and the EOF, which serves as a staging area for augmented emergency response staff if the site is under threat of or experiencing hostile actions.

In the event the TSC/OSC evacuation becomes necessary, the emergency response procedures identify an alternate location for the TSC/OSC.

2. _Emergqency Operations Facility (EOF): PNPS has established an Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) located at 44 Obery Street across from the Plymouth North High School in Plymouth, Massachusetts approximately four (4) miles west of PNPS. The building is shielded and equipped with a filtered ventilation system and backup electrical supply system. The EOF is the central facility for the evaluation and coordination of all licensee activities in response to an emergency. Here information is provided to representatives of Federal, Commonwealth, and local authorities who respond to an emergency at PNPS.

The EOF is a PNPS controlled and operated facility. The EOF is equipped with an intrusion detection system. Security personnel may be requested to augment access control of the EOF.

During an emergency, the EOF is staffed and equipped to provide for the overall management of the Station's emergency response; coordination of radiological and environmental assessment; coordination of corporate support; development of protective action recommendations for the general public; coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies; and capability to perform offsite notifications.

The EOF consists of an Operations Room, a Communications Room, conference rooms and several office areas. In addition to the pre-designated PNPS emergency response organization staff, the EOF has space to accommodate twelve (12) NRC representatives as well as representatives from FEMA, MDPH, and MEMA and key local authorities. If necessary, the EOF may be used to accommodate outside technical support groups.

In the event an EOF evacuation becomes necessary, operations can be transferred to the Alternate Emergency Operations Facility (AEOF). The AEOF is located in the Town Hall, Carver, MA. and is approximately 10.5 miles west of PNPS. The AEOF has accommodation for up to 40 people. It is equipped with site maps, office furniture, supplies and back-up communication systems.

3. Alternative Facility: The Alternative Facility utilized during a Hostile Action event is located at the Chiltonville Training Center. The facility serves as a staging area for TSC and OSC personnel and is equipped with offsite and onsite communication and engineering assessment activities including damage control team planning and preparation.

H-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

4. Emercqency Operations Centers (EOCs) and Incident Command Post (ICP): Emergency Operations Centers in each of the communities supporting a response to an incident at PNPS have been established to perform direction and control of response functions. PNPS provides support for the local communities in the design and maintenance of their facilities.

The Town of Plymouth EOC is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The EOC serves as command and control headquarters for local emergency response activities as well as a center for the coordination of communications to local field units and to the Commonwealth and MEMA Region II EOCs. The EOC has the equipment necessary, (such as facsimile machines, telecommunications equipment, radio gear, photocopiers, wall maps, etc.) to carry out its emergency responsibilities. The other plume exposure EPZ communities of Kingston, Duxbury, Carver, and Marshfield, all in Massachusetts, are similarly equipped. In addition, the Reception Center communities are equipped with similar facilities and equipment.

The Commonwealth EOC is located at MEMA headquarters in Framingham, Massachusetts and serves as the command and control center for off site emergency response. The Commonwealth EOC is capable of continuous (24-hour) operations for a protracted period.

The center contains sufficient communications (radio, telephone and teletype) equipment, maps, emergency plans, and status boards to provide the necessary interfaces with other Commonwealth, local, Federal and PNPS emergency facilities.

The Joint Information Center is located at the Entergy Industrial Park Training Center in Plymouth, approximately 6.5 miles North West of PNPS. The Joint Information Center is staffed by PNPS and government public information representatives who will be the source of public information during an emergency at PNPS. The Joint Information Center is normally activated upon declaration of an Alert or above. If, due to radiological or other conditions, the Joint Information Center is found to be uninhabitable, it will be relocated to the Alternate Joint Information Center at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater.

The MEMA Region II EOC is located at MEMA Region II Headquarters in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The EOC is located near the plume exposure EPZ and serves as the local liaison with the Commonwealth EOC to coordinate emergency operations among local communities.

The State EOC/Office of Public Safety (OPS) is the primary Commonwealth notification point. Continuous communication coverage is provided by dispatcher on a 24-hour basis.

The Incident Command Post (ICP) is an offsite physical location that administers the on-scene incident command and the other major incident management functions and works under Incident Command System (ICS) strategies. ICS has been summarized as a "first-on-scene" structure, where the first responder of a scene has charge of the scene until the incident has been declared resolved, a superior-ranking responder arrives on scene and seizes command, or the Incident Commander appoints another individual Incident Commander. ICS consists of a standard management hierarchy and procedures for managing temporary incident(s) of any'size. Incidents at Pilgrim Station will have an ICP location as determined by the responding offsite Incident Commander.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

5. Activation: PNPS has put into place plans and procedures to insure the timely activation of its emergency response facilities. Although the response time will vary due to factors such as weather and traffic conditions, a goal of thirty (30) minutes for some minimum staffing and one (1) hour for full manning has been established for onsite emergency facilities and the EOF. Plans have been developed to insure timely functional activation and staffing of the Joint Information Center.
6. Monitoring Equipment for Classification: PNPS has identified and installed onsite monitoring systems that are utilized to assess the incident and make determinations on the proper emergency measures to be implemented. This equipment includes but is not limited to the following:
a. PNPS has two meteorological towers equipped with instrumentation for continuous reading of wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and difference in air temperature (160' to 33' and 220' to 33'). PNPS has the indirect capability of locally monitoring hydrological data by use of instrumentation installed on process water systems. Seismic monitors are located throughout the plant; data from these monitors is recorded in the Control Room.
b. Installed radiological monitors indicate the status of the plant and any radiological release that may have occurred. The Control Room is equipped with plant radiation monitoring instrumentation for use in both normal and emergency conditions. The Containment High Radiation Monitoring System is designed to measure post-accident radiation levels in the drywell and the torus during accident conditions. The range of these monitors is 1 to I1.0E+7 R/hr. The Main Stack, the Reactor Building Exhaust Ventilation and the Turbine Building are equipped with high range radiation monitoring systems designed to measure elevated radiation levels.

The Containment High Radiation Monitoring System will be used to monitor the integrity of the reactor fuel and to assess core damage conditions during the emergency phase of an accident. Contingency chemistry sampling procedures are available as a supplemental means to confirm the integrity of the reactor fuel or core damage in support of post-accident and long-term recovery operations. The contingency chemistry procedures provide the appropriate instructions to obtain and analyze highly radioactive samples from the reactor coolant system and containment (i.e., drywell and torus).

c. The Control Room and applicable redundant backup locations are equipped with extensive plant process monitors for use in both normal and emergency conditions.

These indications include but are not limited to reactor coolant system pressure and temperature, containment pressure and temperature, liquid levels, flow rates, status or

-lineup of equipment components. This instrumentation provides the basis for initiation of corrective actions.

d. The PNPS has installed fire and combustion detection equipment at PNPS in compliance with 10CFR50 Appendix R.

Section I provides more details on the accident assessment efforts that can be used to assess the incident and make determinations on the proper emergency measures to be implemented.

H-4 H-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Offsite Monitoringq Equipment: PNPS has made provisions to perform offsite monitoring during emergency situations.
a. Offsite sources of information pertaining to geophysical phenomena include the National Weather Service located at Taunton, MA for meteorological data, and local marine forecast data and Coast Guard facilities provide hydrological data, and Weston Observatory provides seismic activity.
b. PNPS has established radiological and environmental radiation sampling and monitoring stations at PNPS and nearby areas as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. These Stations are used for continuous long-term radiological background assessment of the environs surrounding PNPS. These Stations monitor a variety of media and pathways including gaseous and particulate sampling equipment and environmental Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) (WT-WTPNP-2013-263, CA-05),

which may be used in an emergency for accident assessment. The locations and specific capabilities of these Stations are contained in the PNPS Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

c. In addition to the analytical capabilities of the EOF, PNPS has access to outside analytical assistance and laboratory facilities from other non-affected Entergy nuclear sites, Commonwealth and Federal agencies and other utilities through INPO. This support may include but is not limited to the following:

Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) through the implementation of the Nuclear Incident Advisory Team (NIAT) Handbook has laboratory analysis capability at the Commonwealth/State Contracted laboratories and those laboratories listed in the New England Interstate Radiation Assistance Plan.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the implementation of the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) or Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) will provide necessary radiological monitoring assistance. The DOE Region Coordinating Office for PNPS is the Brookhaven Area Office located in Upton, New York.

Other environmental monitoring and analysis support can be requested and arranged through INPO. The INPO Emergency Resources Manual includes the information necessary to locate and request specialized equipment and technical assistance in the area of offsite radiological monitoring. INPO member utilities and suppliers agree to provide assistance as outlined in the INPO Emergency Resources Manual.

The above facilities have the capability to perform laboratory analyses of various environmental samples (e.g., terrestrial, marine and air). It is also estimated that the analytical assistance and laboratory support will be able to respond within eight (8),

hours from initial notification.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

8. Offsite Monitoringq Equipment Storagqe: The EOF has been designated as the central point for storing offsite radiological monitoring equipment. Additional equipment is available at PNPS and other facilities (i.e., Warehouse, Commonwealth and local facilities), if needed.

The EOF contains portable survey, counting, and air sampling instrumentation and other radiological monitoring equipment and supplies to be used by PNPS and Nuclear Incident Advisory Team (NIAT) offsite monitoring teams. Table H-I illustrates examples of the types of equipment available for off site monitoring.

Monitoring team equipment is capable of detecting and measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as I1.0E-7 tiCi/cc under field conditions. Interference from the presence of noble gas and background radiation will be minimized by ensuring that monitoring teams move to areas of low background prior to analyzing the sample cartridge.

9. Meteorologqical Monitoringq: PNPS has installed two meteorological towers equipped with instrumentation for continuous reading of the wind speed, wind direction, air temperature and delta air temperature at 33 foot and either the 160 or 220 foot elevations. The 220 and 160 foot meteorological towers record information and report this data locally at the meteorological tower, to the Emergency Plant Information Computer (220 foot) and to the station's business Local Area Network (160 foot). The 220 foot also reports information to the Control Room.

PNPS has the capability for making remote interrogation of the atmospheric measurements and predictions. Additional capabilities are available to obtain representative current meteorological information from other sources, such as the National Weather Service.

10. Protective and Damagqe Control Eguipment: The TSC, OSC, and EOF are equipped with ventilation systems similar to the Control Room ventilation system. The ventilation systems use both High Efficiency Particulate and charcoal filters.

Radiological monitoring is performed in each emergency response facility. Radiation dose rates and airborne radioactivity concentrations are measured inside each facility while it is in use during an emergency. This monitoring will detect adverse conditions that may affect the habitability of the facility. Equipment is available which can distinguish the presence of radioiodine at concentrations as low as 1.OE-07 iiCi/cc.

Radiation protection equipment (i.e., protective clothing, respiratory protection gear and other health physics equipment and supplies) is stored and maintained at each emergency response facility. Table H.2 illustrates the equipment typically available to each facility.

This equipment is for re-entry team activities. If necessary, this equipment will be used for emergency response personnel within the facility to allow them to function during the presence of low-level airborne radioactivity or radioactive surface contamination. Sufficient potassium iodide is available for use by Control Room, TSC, OSC, JIC and EOF personnel, and is also stored at the Chiltonville staging area.

One-hour self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) packs and bottles have been placed at strategic points within the Station. A cascade air compressor is maintained onsite. A back-up compressor is located at Plymouth Fire Department headquarters approximately 2.5 miles from the site. Arrangements exist to permit PNPS 24-hour access to this back-up compressor if the station compressor is inoperable, or ifthe air in station environs is contaminated.

H-6 H-6 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The Medical Building, located near the main parking lot, is supplied with an assortment of first aid and medical treatment equipment and supplies that are used on a daily basis.

Emergency medical treatment equipment and supplies are also stored in the Engineering Support Building and TSC Communications Cabinet (CR-PNP-2014-323,CA-02). In addition to normal Station decontamination equipment, the EOF is equipped with personnel decontamination supplies and a decontamination shower for use in an emergency. The EOF is also equipped with a holding tank to secure contaminated materials. Table H-3 and H-4 illustrate the supplies found in the medical and decontamination kits.

Damage Control Equipment is available in the OSC and additionally in maintenance shops or PNPS warehouses located inside the Protected Area. This equipment includes items such as portable lighting and portable communications equipment. See Table F-I for the matrix of communications capability. For a complete description of communications equipment available during an emergency, refer to Section F of this Emergency Plan.

11. Facility and Equipment Readiness: Emergency facilities and equipment are inspected and inventoried in accordance with departmental administrative procedures. The inspection includes an operational check of instruments and equipment. Equipment, supplies and parts which have a shelf-life are identified, checked and replaced as necessary. Sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment are maintained to replace those which are removed from emergency kits or lockers for calibration or repair. Dedicated communications equipment between Federal, Commonwealth and local government agencies within the plume exposure pathway EPZ are checked periodically in accordance with Section N.2.

The results of tests, inventories, and inspections conducted in accordance with PNPS Procedures, are submitted to the Emergency Planning Manager for review. The Emergency Planning Manager is responsible for the evaluation of these results and assignment of corrective actions for deficiencies identified, if any.

The Emergency Planning Manager will be informed of select system inoperability determinations resulting from any tests, inventories or inspections conducted on the systems identified in Table H-5, as the availability of these systems can have significant impact on the Emergency Plan. When notified of Table H-5 system inoperability, the Emergency Planning Manager will inform the Regulatory and Performance Improvement Director within one business day of the inoperable condition, as well as of compensatory measures taken, if any.

12. General Use Emergqency Equipment: Tables H-I, H-2, H-3, and H-4 identify by general category the equipment that typically make up emergency kits used in an emergency situation. Table F-1 shows available communications equipment. PNPS cooperates with local and Commonwealth officials to insure that sufficient and appropriate emergency kits are made available. *
13. Collection Point for Field Samples: The EOF has been designated as the central point for the receipt and analysis of radiological field monitoring samples.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section I: Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS), 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).

1. Plant Parameters and Corresponding Emergqency Classification
  • 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.
  • 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 PNPS Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
  • 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 detailed instrumentation and equipment capabilities available for each emergency facility are described in Section H of the PNPS Emergency Plan.
2. Onsite Accident Assessment Capabilities
  • Contingency Chemistry Procedures - The Commission has approved and issued License Amendment 204 to PNPS that eliminates the requirement to have and maintain the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS) to support emergency response decisions during the initial phase of an accident (USNRC Letter Number 1.03.128, dated November 14, 2003). However, there is a significant benefit to having information from radioisotope sampling as a supplemental means to address decisions in support of long-term recovery operations under a severe accident condition. Therefore, contingency chemistry procedures are available to obtain and analyze highly radioactive samples from the reactor coolant system and containment (i.e.; drywell and torus) when deemed appropriate or necessary to support decisions during long-term recovery operations. The sample results will be used to confirm the integrity of the reactor fuel or core damage conditions with other plant indicators such as Area Radiation and Process Radiation Monitors.
  • Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors - PNPS has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of in-plant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PRM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow in-plant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring local 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 PRM readings can be used as an input into the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) computer program which displays the projected whole body and thyroid exposures to the populace in the plume exposure pathway.

I-1 I-IRevision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Containment High Radiation Monitoringq System - A primary method to estimate core damage is based on radiation monitor readings from the Containment High-Radiation Monitoring System (CHRMS), which monitors the radiation levels inside the primary containment (Drywell and Torus areas). This is accomplished by comparing the radiation monitoring readings inside the primary containment with established Drywell and Torus CHRMS curves. The curves provide an estimate of the amount of core damage by plotting the detector dose rate response versus time after shutdown corresponding to various assumed source term scenarios. The assumed source term scenarios include full core melt, gap activity and spiked primary coolant releases.
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 High Radiation Monitoring System (CHRMS) and Process Radiation Monitors. The Containment High Radiation 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 in counts per second or Roentgens per hour. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.

Routine and high range monitors are located on the Main Stack and the Reactor Building. A high range monitor is located in the Turbine Building. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use of the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) computer program.

4. Effluent Monitor Data and URI: The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates is accomplished through use of the Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) computer program. URI is a computer program which allows 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 halogen and particulate concentrations via the 10-mile Plume and 50-mile Ingestion exposure pathways.
5. Meteorological Information: Meteorological data are available from two meteorological towers, a 220 foot primary and a 160 foot back-up. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and delta temperature. These data are utilized by the site, Commonwealth and NRC to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion.

Meteorological data from the 220 foot tower is available to the Control Room, the Technical Support Center SPDS, and Emergency Operations Facility SPDS. Meteorological data is available from the 160 foot tower via the station's business Local Area Network. Data from both towers is also available via local readout. The National Weather Service, or other official commercial or governmental meteorological gathering services, are possible alternate sources for obtaining meteorological data.

I-2 1-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

6. Unmonitored Release: If 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.
7. Field Monitorinaq: In the event of an airborne or liquid release, PNPS 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.
8. Offsite Monitoringq Teams (OMTs): 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. OMTs are composed of two individuals, at least one of whom is a qualified Radiation Protection technician.

OMTs establish and maintain direct radio communications with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The teams are controlled by the Offsite Monitoring Team Coordinator in the EOF. The OMTs locate and monitor the radioactive plume while taking air samples as directed.

Survey data from OMTs are used to define affected areas, verify or modify dose projections and protective action recommendations, and assess the extent and significance of a release.

9. Iodine Monitoringq: OMTs collect air samples while in the plume exposure pathway. The teams carry procedures and equipment for sampling and measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1 .OE-7 picuries per cubic centimeter in the presence of noble galses.
10. Dose Estimates: Specific procedures exist for the correlation of air activity levels to dose rate for key isotopes. Provisions have been established for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates and for the comparison of these estimates with the protective action guides.
11. Commonwealth Monitoring Capabilities: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has the ability to dispatch its own field monitoring teams to track the airborne radioactive plume.

The Commonwealth also has the ability and resources to interpret radiological data in coordination with federal and site monitoring teams to compare sample results.

I-3 1-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section J: Protective Response 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 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. A combination of restricted movement, movement to safe locations and site evacuation may be used depending on the nature of the event and available advance warning. 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. PNPS is responsible for onsite actions, while the responsibility for offsite actions rests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, local authorities and other offsite response agencies.

1. Notification of Onsite Personnel: For all emergency classifications, all personnel within the Protected Area are notified of the declaration, escalation or termination of an emergency by alarms and verbal announcements over the Station Public Address System (Gaitronics).

Announcements include the emergency classification and response actior~s to be taken by site personnel.

Upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification, if open, public access areas are closed and persons advised, by dispatching a security officer(s) to evacuate those areas.

2. Evacuation Locations: if Protected Area evacuation is required, personnel are directed to evacuate to an assembly area. The Engineering and Support Building cafeteria is designated as the primary assembly area. Should conditions warrant, personnel may be directed to evacuate via personal automobiles to the alternate assembly area, the Chiltonville Training Center. The assembly area is chosen on the basis of wind direction.

Visitors to the station assemble with their escorts.

3. Radiologqical Monitoringq: In the event of Protected Area evacuation, radiation protection personnel are dispatched to the designated assembly area to provide radiological monitoring and, if necessary, decontamination of evacuees.
4. Evacuation: Evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments. Contractors who do not have emergency responsibilities, visitors, and handicapped personnel are evacuated immediately at the Alert or higher classification.

Evacuation of non-essential PNPS personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The shorefront recreation area is closed at the declaration of an Alert or higher classification, and visitors asked to leave.

J-1 Revision 45 J-1

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

5. Accountability: At the declaration of Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, all non-essential personnel are evacuated. All individuals onsite are accounted for and the names of missing individuals are ascertained within 30 minutes of the initiation of accountability.

Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event. Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated. Accountability is coordinated by the TSC Security Coordinator and the results forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager. For Hostile Action events, accountability may be delayed in lieu of other onsite protective actions required to ensure safety of the site and its personnel. In these cases, accountability will be completed once safe conditions have been established.

6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel: PNPS maintains an inventory of respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, and radio protective drugs which are made available to emergency workers remaining onsite should conditions warrant.
a. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) 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 and dress out area, is available for use by onsite re-entry personnel.
c. Procedures are in place for the use of thyroid-blocking agents by emergency response personnel. Administration of such agents may be authorized only by the Emergency Director for offsite PNPS emergency workers or by the Emergency Plant Manager for onsite PNPS emergency workers.

J-2 J-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public: Plant conditions, projected doses, and/or 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 the NRC/FEMA guidance in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP "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 Commonwealth agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. Protective action recommendations are made by the Emergency Director to MEMA, through the MDPH EOF Liaison. In an emergency which requires immediate protective actions be taken prior to activation of emergency facilities, notification is given by the Emergency Director in the Control Room directly to the Commonwealth, EPZ, and reception communities via the DNN.

The possible Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) issued by PNPS in accordance with EP-IP-400, "ProtectiveAction Recommendations", at a General Emergency include:

  • For a Rapidly Progressing Severe Accident (RPSA), a General Emergency distinguished by a rapid loss of containment integrity and loss of ability to cool the core, a plant-based PAR to evacuate the 2-mile ring and 5 miles downwind of the affected EPZ subareas along with sheltering of all other EPZ subareas will be recommended.

The 5-10 downwind area will be re-evaluated for evacuation by the EOF, or

  • At a minimum, based on plant conditions, (for a non-RPSA), evacuation of the 2 mile ring and 5 miles downwind of the affected EPZ sub-areas along with sheltering of all other EPZ sub-areas will be recommended unless sheltering as an alternative to evacuation is recommended; or
  • In event of a short duration emergency radioactive release (i.e., <1 hour for the entire event), or a General Emergency is declared because of Hostile Action, then sheltering instead of evacuation for the affected, land-based EPZ sub-areas will be recommended.

In addition to the plant-condition PARs, off-site dose projections will be used to determine whether plant-condition PARs are adequate. This will include evaluating the off-site dose projection results in accordance with the threshold for dose-based evacuation PARs. Table J-1 summarizes the PNPS PARs for the general public based on projected dose to the population-at-risk.

In all of the above cases, a reminder is provided that Commonwealth and local authorities should consider the administration of Potassium Iodide (KI) for the general public in accordance with their plans and procedures.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

8. Evacuation Time Estimates: An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, by subarea, of the time required to evacuate resident and transient populations surrounding Pilgrim Station under favorable and adverse conditions (see Appendix 5). These evacuation time estimates are used in the formulation of protective action recommendations using Guidance in 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". Estimates of EPZ permanent resident population changes are conducted annually.
9. Protective Measure Implementation: The responsibility for implementing protective measures based on protective action guides rests with Commonwealth and local agencies.
10. Factors Affectingq Protective Measure Implementation: The PNPS, Commonwealth, and local emergency plans used to implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
a. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Figures J-.1 through J-5 are maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation subareas, reception centers in host areas, and mass care shelters.
b. The population distribution around Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is presented in the Evacuation Time Estimates, Appendix 5.
c. As indicated in Section E, offsite agencies are notified in the event the Emergency Plan is activated. Commonwealth and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure -EPZ.
d. Means for protecting those persons whose mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
e. Provisions for the use of radio protective drugs, particularly for emergency workers and institutionalized persons within the plume exposure EPZ whose immediate evacuation may be infeasible or very difficult, including quantities, storage, and means of distribution are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
f. Commonwealth and local plans include the method by which decisions are made by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for administering radio protective drugs to emergency workers and the general public.
g. Means of relocation of the general public are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.
h. Relocation centers in host areas which are at least 5 miles, and preferably 10 miles, beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure emergency planning zone are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures.

I.Projected traffic capacities of evacuation routes under emergency conditions are described in Appendix 5, Evacuation Time Estimates.

J-4 J-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN j.Control of access to evacuated areas and organization responsibilities for such control are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures and in Appendix 5, Evacuation Time Estimates.

k. Identification of and means for dealing with potential impediments to use of evacuation routes, (e.g., seasonal impassability of roads) and contingency measures are described in Commonwealth and local plans and procedures I.Time estimates for evacuation of various sectors and distances based on a dynamic analysis (time-motion study under various conditions) for the plume exposure pathway emergency planning zone have been performed and are contained in Appendix 5, Evacuation Time Estimates. Estimates of EPZ permanent resident population changes are conducted annually.
m. The bases for dose driven protective action recommendations are as follows:
  • If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs, evacuation is considered for affected subareas and sheltering is considered for remaining subareas.
  • PNPS personnel normally do not have the necessary information to determine whether off site conditions would require sheltering instead of an evacuation. An effort to base Protective Action Recommendations on external factors (such as road conditions, traffic/traffic control, weather, security concerns or offsite emergency res'ponse capabilities) is usually performed by the Commonwealth.
11. Ingqestion Pathway Protective Measures: The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Rhode Island. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.
12. Monitoringq of Evacuees: The Commonwealth and local organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers. 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.

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section K: Radiological Exposure Control 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 PNPS to provide necessary assistance to persons injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive materials.

Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, EPA 400-R-92-001.

1. Emergqency Exposure Guidelines: Radiation exposure in an emergency is controlled, taking every reasonable effort to minimize exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of the EPA-400 general activities limit (5 Rem). Situations in which actions are taken to save vital equipment or property, circumvent substantial exposure to the general public or to save a life are examples of conditions which may necessitate extended emergency exposure authorization. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency worker activities:

Dose Limit* Activity Conditions 5 All 10 Protecting valuable property. Lower dose not practical.

25 Life saving or protection of large Lower dose not practical.

populations.

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

  • EPA TEDE values for non-pregnant adults from exposure and intake during an emergency situation in Rem. Workers performing services during emergencies should

-limit dose to the eyes to three times the listed value and dose to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to ten times the listed value.

2. Emergency Radiation Protection Program: The Radiological Coordinators ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergencies, that exposure accountability is maintained and that personnel are not sent into known or potential high radiation areas (radiation, contamination or airborne) without adequate protection and exposure controls.

Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the facility is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize personnel exposures.

Assembly areas (or alternate assembly areas) are established to relocate and monitor evacuated personnel.

The authority to allow radiation exposure above the EPA-400 general activities limits is held by the Emergency Director for offsite (outside the protected area) ERO personnel through recommendations from the Radiological Assessment Coordinator and the Emergency Plant Manager for onsite ERO personnel through recommendations from the Radiological Coordinator and may not be delegated further.

K-1 K-I Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN In any emergency response action requiring greater exposure than 10OCFR20 limits, vol unteers over forty-five years of age are considered first. Females of childbearing age shall not be permitted to receive exposures in excess of I0CFR20 limits.

Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Radiological Coordinator or Radiological Assessment Coordinator. Prior to entry into a suspected high radiation area, the individual's current year exposure is evaluated based upon previous thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings, and self-indicating dosimeter estimates since the last TLD reading.

3. Personnel Monitoringq
a. A Dosimeter of Legal Record (DLR) is issued to all emergency response personnel in the protected area. All Level II GET responders wear a DLR every work day; Level I GET responders are provided with a DLR at their onsite emergency facilities upon activation. This, in addition to both low and high range self-indicating dosimetry, is 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, through Entergy company dosimetry service agreements. Emergency workers are instructed to read self-indicating dosimeters frequently, and DLRs may be processed with increased periodicity.
b. Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with Station Radiation Protection Procedures.
4. Non-PNPS Personnel Exposure Authorization: The responsibility for authorizing non-PNPS emergency workers (i.e. Commonwealth and local agency emergency workers) and visitors to receive exposures in excess of the EPA General Public Protective Action Guides rests with the Commonwealth and local organizations, except when such emergency workers and visitors are onsite. Authorization of exposures in excess of EPA General Public Protective Action Guides, in this latter instance, rests with the Emergency Plant Manager.

5.. Decontamination and First Aid

a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by the Radiological Coordinator or Radiological Assessment Coordinator should conditions warrant.
b. Decontamination materials are stored in the Medical Building. Portable first-aid kits are available in the Engineering and Support Building and Medical Building. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination is initially treated by an on-shift EMP. 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-2 K-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN The ambulance service contracted to the Plymouth Fire Department provides prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, Radiation Protection (RP) personnel accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance personnel.

Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth (primary) or to Morton Hospital (backup). Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for severe trauma, long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. RP personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.

6. Contamination Control
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 Radiological Coordinator.
b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination from restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Emergency supplies of food and drinking water are stored in sealed containers to prevent contamination. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in all Emergency Response facilities until such time as habitability surveys indicate that such activities are permissible.
c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use when contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel: Non-essential onsite personnel and non-PNPS personnel are evacuated to the Engineering and Support Building cafeteria, as discussed in Section J, "Protective Response". RP personnel at that location monitor evacuees and perform decontamination, as needed. Provisions for extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminants are available. If radiological or plant conditions warrant evacuation of onsite personnel to the offsite assembly area, Chiltonville Training Center will be used.

Radiation Protection personnel are dispatched to the assembly area to monitor for personnel contamination.

K-3 K-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section L: Medical and Public Health Support This section describes Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) arrangements for medical services for contaminated injured individuals sent from the Station.

1. Hospital Services: Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth is the primary care facility for treatment of contaminated injured persons, and evaluation of radiation exposure and radionuclide uptake. Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth is located in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and five miles from PNPS.

Morton Hospital, located in Taunton, Massachusetts is designated as a back-up to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital - Plymouth. This hospital is equipped and trained to handle contaminated injured individuals (See Appendix 3, Sample Copies of Letters of Agreement.)

2. Onsite First Aid Capability: Personnel injuries involving possible radioactive contamination are initially treated by an on-shift EMP. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries in preference to decontamination. (See Section 0, Emergency Response Training, for training requirements).
3. Medical Service Facilities: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintains a list of public, private and military hospitals and other emergency medical facilities considered capable of providing medical support for any contaminated injured individuals.
4. Medical Transportation: PNPS has arranged with a local ambulance service for transporting victims of radiological accidents to medical support facilities. This service is contracted through the Plymouth Fire Department and is continuously available. (See Appendix 3, Sample Copies of Letters of Agreement).

L-1 Revision 45 L-1

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section M: Reentry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for reentry into the areas of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) which have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the PNPS Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.

1. Reentry: 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 reentry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides reentry into two separate categories:
a. Plant damage control, mitigation, repair and rescue activities are conducted during the emergency phase of an accident. This category of reentry is performed using emergency exposure controls and limits. Briefings for task activities and radiological controls may be provided verbally to dispatched personnel and documented afterwards.

Procedures provided to dispatched personnel for emergency activities can be taken from existing plant documents or developed on a case basis for the task.

All personnel dispatched from the onsite emergency facilities are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager and coordinated through the Operations Support Center Manager, the assigned Team Coordinator and the Radiological Coordinator if necessary.

The following items are considered when planning the dispatch of personnel during an emergency:

  • Team composition which considers:
  • Previous non-emergency exposure for ALARA considerations.
  • Exposure accumulated during the course of the emergency.
  • Experience with the assigned task.
  • Familiarity with any existing procedures or processes.
  • Physical capacity to perform the task.
  • Nature of the task including applicable procedures if available.
  • Equipment, tools, instrumentation and materials necessary for the task.
  • Physical location where the task is performed.
  • Safety precautions pertaining to both the task and to personnel.
  • Communications equipment, channels, backup and reporting expectations.

M-1 M-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Any special instructions applicable to the task or evolution.
  • Radiological controls associated with the activity.
b. Plant control, restoration, repair and maintenance activities are conducted during the recovery phase of an accident. This category of reentry is performed using exposure controls based on 10 CFR 20 limits and normal PNPS levels. Either existing procedures or procedures developed specifically for the task (developed, reviewed and approved through the normal plant administrative control process) are utilized for all recovery activities.

All personnel dispatched into hazardous areas, radiological or otherwise, during the recovery phase are authorized by the Recovery Plant Manager. The dispatch of personnel is coordinated through the applicable organizational structure (recovery or normal plant organization depending on the extent of the recovery).

2. Recovery: Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. The Emergency Director, with concurrence from the EOF Manager and the Emergency Plant 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:
  • Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? If so, does it appear unlikely that conditions will deteriorate?
  • Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specific;ation 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.
  • In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.
  • Th~e potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.
  • The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available.
  • Drywell pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
  • Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.
  • All required notifications have been made.
  • Discussions have been held with Federal, Commonwealth and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.
  • At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the Emergency Response Organization is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
  • Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
  • Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.

M-2 M-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN 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 a severe accident that some conditions remain which exceeds an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.

Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the PNPS 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.
  • For 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 PNPS 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 to maintain safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the PNPS Recovery and Corporate organization is put in place.

The specific members of the PNPS 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 PNPS Recovery Organization is as follows:

a. The Recovery Director is charged with the responsibility for directing the activities of the PNPS Recovery organization. These responsibilities include:
  • Ensuring that sufficient personnel from PNPS and other organizations are available to support recovery.
  • Directing the development of a recovery plan and procedures.
  • Ensuring that adequate engineering activities to restore the plant, are properly reviewed and approved. .
  • Deactivating any of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization which was retained to aid in recovery, in the appropriate manner. Depending upon the type of accident and the onsite and offsite affects of the accident, portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization may remain in place after initiation of the recovery phase.
  • Coordinating the integration of available Federal and Commonwealth assistance into onsite recovery activities.
  • Coordinating the integration of PNPS support with Federal, Commonwealth and local authorities into required offsite recovery activities.
  • Approving information released by the public information organization which pertains to the emergency or the recovery phase of the accident.
  • Determining when the recovery phase is terminated.

The Senior Nuclear Executive or a designated alternate is the Recovery Director.

M-3 M-3 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

b. The Recovery Plant Managqer reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Coordinating the development and implementation of the recovery plan and procedures.
  • Directing all onsite activities in support of the recovery of PNPS.
  • Designating other PNPS recovery positions required in support of onsite recovery activities.

The Plant Operations General Manager or a designated alternate will become the Recovery Plant Manager.

c. The Recovery Offsite Managqer reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Providing liaison with offsite agencies and coordinating PNPS assistance for offsite recovery activities.
  • Coordinating, PNPS ingestion exposure pathway EPZ sampling activities and the development of an offsite accident analysis report.
  • Developing a radiological release report.
  • Designating other PNPS recovery positions required in Support of offsite recovery activities.

A senior Regulatory and Performance Improvement Group Management individual or a designated alternate is the Recovery Offsite Manager.

d. The Company Spokesperson reports to the Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Functioning as the official spokesperson to the media for PNPS on all matters relating to the accident or recovery.
  • Coordinating non-PNPS public information groups (Federal, Commonwealth, local, etc.).
  • Coordinating media monitoring and rumor control.
  • Determining what public information portions of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization will remain activated.

A senior PNPS management individual is designated as the Company Spokesperson.

The remainder of the PNPS Recovery Organization is established and an initial recovery plan developed at the end of the emergency phase or just after entry into the recovery phase. Consideration is given to recovery activity needs and use of the normal PNPS organizations. Individual recovery supervisors may be designated in any or all of the following areas:

  • Training
  • Radiation Protection
  • Chemistry
  • Technical Support
  • Engineering Support M-4 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

  • Quality Assurance
  • Operations
  • Security
  • Maintenance
  • Special Offsite Areas (Community Representatives, Environmental Samples, Investigations, etc.)
3. Recovery Phase Notifications: When the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, all members of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization are informed of the change. All personnel in the PNPS Nuclear Organization are instructed of the PNPS Recovery Organization and their responsibilities to the recovery effort.
4. Total Population Exposure: A method has been developed for estimating the total population exposure resulting from the accident. Total population exposure calculations are performed during the recovery phase of an accident. Cumulative data are collected from PNPS Emergency Response Organization records and release pathway filter analyses to estimate the source term. Data are obtained from offsite agencies to estimate the total exposed population. Environmental TLDs will be analyzed to provide additional data.

M-5 M-5 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN Section N: Drill and Exercise Program This section describes the Drill and Exercise Program that PNPS has implemented to:

  • Develop, maintain and evaluate the capabilities of the PNPS Emergency Response Organization to respond to emergency conditions and safeguard the health and safety of Station personnel and the general public.
  • identify deficiencies in the PNPS Emergency 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/Drills
a. 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 may simulate an emergency that results in the release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis is placed on development and conduct of an exercise that is more mechanistically and 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. Scenarios for biennial exercises are submitted to the NRC at least 60 days in advance of the exercise date as required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.F.2.a.
b. Exercises/Drills provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions.

In accordance with the PNPS Eight-Year DrilVExercise Plan, drills and exercises are conducted to ensure that all major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness program are demonstrated at least once in each eight-year period. At least one drill every eight years is started off-hours. Drills/Exercises are scheduled to be conducted at different times of the year. An unannounced drill is performed twice per eight-year cycle in accordance with the Eight-Year Plan.

c. Scenario elements to be addressed in the eight-year DrilV/Exercise Plan, as described in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.F.2.j include:
  • Hostile Action directed at the site
  • No/Minimal Radiological Release not requiring protective actions
  • Initial classification or rapid escalation to Site Area Emergency or General Emergency
  • Implementation of strategies developed under 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2)
  • Integration of offsite resources with onsite response N-1 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

2. Specialized Drills: PNPS conducts specialized drills for the purpose of testing, developing and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders. The specialized drills may include, but are not ,limited to the following:
a. Communication Drills: Communications capabilities with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and local emergency operating centers (Carver, Kingston, Duxbury, Marshfield, and Plymouth) are tested monthly.

Operability of communication equipment between PNPS and the State of Rhode Island is tested quarterly.

Communications between PNPS and the PNPS Offsite Monitoring Teams are tested annually.

Other communication checks/drills are conducted in accordance with 10OCFR50, Appendix E.IV.E.

Each of these drills includes provisions to ensure that all participants in the test are able to understand the content of the messages (e.g. by requesting repeat-backs of information or verification of message transmittal forms).

b. Fire Drills: Drills for the PNPS Fire Brigade are conducted in accordance with Nuclear Organization and Station procedures.
c. Medical Emerqency Drills: Medical emergency drills, involving an individual who is simulated to be injured and contaminated, are conducted at least annually. These drills include participation by an ambulance service and at least one hospital who has agreed to provide assistance to PNPS in the event of an emergency at the Station.
d. Offsite Monitoringq Team Drills: Offsite Monitoring Team (OMT) drills are conducted at least annually and include provisions for the collection and analysis of environmental sample media (e.g. water, snow, vegetation, soil, and air), and the monitoring of radiological conditions outside the PNPS Protected Area. These drills include provisions for communications and record keeping.
e. Health Physics Drills: At least semi-annually, drills are conducted which involve response to, and analysis of, simulated airborne and liquid samples with elevated levels of activity. These drills also involve direct measurements of radiation levels in the Station. Normal station health physics rules and procedures are followed.
f. Augqmentation Drills: At least semi-annually, drills are conducted to test the ability to augment the on-shift organization. These drills are conducted using the following methods:
  • Activation of the EverBridge notification system with responders calling in their anticipated arrival times. The anticipated arrival times are then checked to confirm that the PNPS Emergency Response Organization could have been activated in a reasonable amount of time.

Activation of EverBridge, with actual response to Emergency Response Facilities.

N-2 N-2 Revision 45

PNPS EMERGENCY PLAN

g. Combined Functional Drills: Periodically, drills are conducted to test the interfacility coordination, communication, and operation among emergency facilities including the EOF, TSC, OSC, Joint Information Center (JIC), Incident Command Post (ICP) and Entergy Corporate.
3. Conduct of Drills and Exercises: For each emergency preparedness exercise or drill conducted, a scenario package is developed which includes at least the following information:
  • The objectives to be demonstrated during the drill or exercise,
  • Evaluation criteria to be used in determining the success of the drill or exercise,

Title:

PNPS Emergency Plan Activity 21: This activity revises an operational readiness activity for Emergency Planning staff members to more appropriately describe the administrative fujnction as overseeing the maintenance and readiness of Pilgrim Station's emergency communications equipment. This activity does not change intent, facilities, equipment or processes for this procedure or affect any planning standard elements. This activity does not affect the PNPS Emergency Plan. No further evaluation is required for this activity.

Activity 24: This activity replaces procedure "EP-IP-501, Transport of Contaminated Injured Personnel" with "PNPS 5.5.3, Medical Emergency Response Procedure" in the Cross Reference table. PNPS 5.3.3 incorporated appropriate elements of EP-IP-501 when it was retired concurrent with the removal of Emergency Action Level 5.3.1.1 from PNPS EALs and Emergency Plan revisions in 2004. This activity does not change intent, facilities,' equipment or processes for this procedure or affect any planning standard elements. This activity does not affect the PNPS Emergency Plan. No further evaluation is required for this activity.

Emergency planning elements 5-10 &14 in Part V of this form are affected by Items 11-13,15,18,19. A 10OCFR50.54 (q) evaluation will be performed to determine whether or not the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan is reduced and prior NRC approval is required.

Page N-I Part Ih. Description and Review of Licensing Basis Affected by the Proposed Change:

An EN-LI-la0, Process Applicability Determination was performed. The only relevant criteria or processes identified was the Emergency Plan (10 CFR 50.54(q)). The Emergency Plan review is addressed by this evaluation.

The PAD performed per EN-LI-I100 concluded that applicable portions of LBDs that were reviewed, including the PNPS Emergency Plan, Technical Specifications, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Quality Assurance Program Manual and UFSAR, are not affected by these PNPS Emergency Plan changes and did not contain any relevant additional information. The Nuclear Training Manual NTM5.5 and EN-TQ-l110 are not impacted by this Emergency Plan change.

The potentially affected section of the PNPS Emergency Plan included Section H, Emergency Facilities and Equipment,Section I, Accident Assessment, Section J, Protective Response, and Section N, Drill and Exercise Program. Proposed changes to the PNPS Emergency Plan were reviewed in consideration of other language within the PNPS Emergency Plan and in light of changes identified within the PNPS EPlan Chronology of changes, with no items identified for potential impact due to the proposed changes.

PNPS Licensing Correspondence Logs from 1976 through 2006, the Licensing Basis History and the EP Procedure Commitment listing were reviewed to determine if any commitments would be affected by the revision of this procedure. No applicable commitments were found.

Part Ill. Describe How the Proposed Change Complies with Relevant Emergency Preparedness Regulation(s) and Previous Commitment(s) Made to the NRC:

The following Emergency Planning standards and functions have been identified as potentially affected by these activities:

10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) - Adequate equipment is maintained to support emergency response.

Appendix E IV.E.1-4, IV.E.8. and IV.G - Emergency Facilities and Equipment; Maintaining Emergency Preparedness Site Compliance: The activities within Part I of this form continue to ensure that adequate equipment is maintained to support emergency response with changes required for the implementation of the 160' meteorological tower Engineering Change.

  • A range of protective actions is available for plant emergency workers during emergencies, including those for hostile action events.

Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 does not contain any support requirements. Informing criteria appear in NUREG-0654 in Sections ll.J.1-8, Section lI.J.1O, and Supplement 3 and the PNPS Emergency Plan.

10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) - Drill and Exercise Program

Sections IV.F.1-2 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 provide supporting requirements. Informing criteria appear in Section II.N of NUREG-0654 and the PNPS Emergency Plan.

IPart V. Description of Impact of the Proposed Change on the Effectiveness of Emergency Plan Functions:

11. Add "to the Emergency Plant Information Computer (220 foot)" and "to the station's business Local Area Network (160 foot)" to the Meteorological Monitoring section. Page H-6
12. Delete "Meteorological data is also sent to and retrieved from the PNPS meteorological computer system." Page H-6
15. Add "via the station's business Local Area Network. Data from both towers is also available" in the Meteorological Information section. Page I-2 Activities *11, 12 & 15 are implementing changes for Engineering Change 52947, which installed a new 160' Meteorological Tower at Pilgrim Station. Activities 11 & 15 clarify and update the locations where data from the 220' and 160' meteorological towers is available. The PNPS meteorological computer system referred to in Activity 12 provided data from the old 160' Meteorological Tower data logger to the EOF. Because 160' meteorological tower data in this new system is available on a web page for viewing from any business network computer that has Internet Explorer 11 installed, there is no longer a need for this computer. The Engineering Change had this computer system removed from the EOF. These activities will not reduce the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan because meteorological data continues to be available from both meteorological towers to support Dose Assessment and other activities.
13. Delete "Full Face Respirators" from Table H-I. Page H-8 Activity 13 deletes "Full Face Respirators" from Table H-I. Table H-I is a list of typical offsite monitoring equipment. Respiratory protection for surveys or actions offsite was deemed NOT required in revision I of ENN-PL-140, Emergency Response Organization Respiratory Protection Guidelines, effective 11/16/2006.

The decision to remove respiratory protection requirements for surveys or actions offsite was based on concerns identified, including the following described in the attachment to the Assignee Response to CR-PNP-201 5-462:

Title:

PNPS Emergency Plan

1) Respirators provide no protection at all against noble gases and little if any protection against iodine (protection factor of 1 even with an iodine cartridge). Respirators protect only against particulates and a particulate release is not expected except in the most extreme accident scenarios. Even in that case, by the time particulates become an inhalation hazard in the environment, noble gases will almost certainly be the controlling factor for dose to environmental field teams (and, once again, respirators provide no protection against noble gases). Respirators provide only the "illusion" of protection. In order to provide protection against iodine it would be necessary for the OMT personnel to actually wear SCBA equipment which is completely impractical in a vehicle.
2) The company's policy was inconsistent with the State's policy of not providing respirators for state and town emergency workers.
3) It is unsafe for an OMT driver to actually wear a respirator while driving a vehicle. It restricts peripheral vision and the filter cartridge can create an obstruction while turning the steering wheel or if the driver turns his head. This would create an unacceptable risk of serious automotive accidents.
4) The use of respirators may cause or contribute to a panic if evacuating members of the general public observe a monitoring team wearing respirators when the public has none.

Removing Full Face Respirators from Table H-i will not reduce the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan because a range of protective actions continues to be available for plant emergency workers during emergencies. This activity does not affect onsite emergency plant personnel and offsite emergency response personnel are not negatively affected as described in the reasoning above.

18. Change "drill/exercise" to "drill". Page N-I
19. Change "An unannounced drill/exercise is included in the Eight-Year Plan" to "An unannounced drill is performed twice per eight-year cycle in accordance with the Eight-Year Plan." Page N-i Activities 18 & 19 update the Exercises/Drills sub-section of the Drill and Exercises Program section.

"drill/exercise" in Activities 18 & 19 was changed to "drill" per NUREG-0654 Supplement 4, which states that FEMA no longer requires OROs to participate in off-hours and unannounced exercises. Activity 18 updates the PNPS Emergency Plan to agree with the procedural requirements of Fleet procedure EN-EP-306, "Drills and Exercises". There is no reduction in the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan because these changes are in accordance with regulation and in the case of Activity 19, an increase in the frequency of unannounced drills performed.

Conclusion Reqiardinqi Impact The proposed changes to EP-PP-01, the PNPS Emergency Plan, continue to meet the planning standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(9), 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) and 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14). The effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan is not reduced. The PNPS Emergency Plan changes can be incorporated without prior NRC approval.
