Subject:
Crystal River Unit 3 - License Amendment Request #318, Revision 0, Supplement 1, Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, and Permanently Defueled Emergency Action Level Bases Manual, for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation
Reference:
CR-3 to NRC Letter Dated August 27, 2015, "Crystal River Unit 3 - License Amendment Request #318, Revision 0, Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan, and Permanently Defueled Emergency Action Level Bases Manual, for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation" (ADAMS Accession No. ML15246A231)
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(q), 10 CFR 50.47(b), 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, and 10 CFR 50.90, Duke Energy Florida, LLC, previously known as Duke Energy, Inc., (DEF) submitted License Amendment Request (LAR) #318, Revision 0, where the Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) has been revised to reflect the planned use of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) located in the Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Plant (CR-3) Protected Area while the spent fuel pool contains spent fuel assemblies.
Subsequent to that submittal, DEF revised the PDEP under 10 CFR 50.54(q) and submitted that change under a 30 day letter per the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q), by letter dated March 22, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16082A463). This change deleted the requirement to maintain the meteorological tower as the source of meteorological data for assessing radiological hazards within the site boundary (Revision 2). Meteorological data may now be obtained from local media sources or the internet in a timely manner. DEF also revised the PDEP a second time (Revision 3) under 10 CFR 50.54(q) to incorporate largely editorial changes, and is submitting this change per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q) as a 30 day letter.
DEF is providing in this letter PDEP Draft C incorporating the above changes in order that the NRC has all approved changes in the draft version of the PDEP, while reviewing the above referenced License Amendment Request. This draft version of the PDEP includes all changes made to the PDEP under 10 CFR 50.54(q) current to July 12, 2016, with the changes requested under LAR #318. The two changes requested under LAR #318 are the addition of an EAL that addresses the independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation and the deletion of the Main Control Room Communicator (an Emergency Response Organization position determined to not be required).
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 3F0716-01 Page 2 of 2 There are no new regulatory commitments made within this submittal.
The proposed change has been evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(1) using criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and it has been determined that the proposed change involves no significant hazards consideration. The bases for these determinations are included in the above reference. This supplement does not revise or alter the bases for any of the 10 CFR 50.92(c) determinations previously submitted.
If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Phil Rose, Lead Engineer, Nuclear Regulatory Affairs, at (352) 563-4883.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on July 14, 2016.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Plant (CR3) has been safely shutdown since September 26, 2009. On February 20, 2013, by letter 3F0213-07, Progress Energy Florida, a subsidiary of Duke Energy, provided certification to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii) that CR3 has permanently ceased operations and that all fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel.
Commercial operation began on March 13, 1977. As of May 28, 2011, all fuel assemblies have been permanently removed from the reactor vessel and placed in the spent fuel (SF) pools for storage. By letter dated March 13, 2013, the NRC acknowledged certification of permanent cessation of power operation and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2),
the 10 CFR Part 50 license for CR3 no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessel. This Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) adequately addresses the risks associated with CR3s current conditions.
Analyses of the credible accident or beyond design basis events and consequences of an accident for CR3 in a permanently defueled condition are presented in the calculations provided as References 3.19 - 3.24. The analyses indicate that any releases beyond the EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY (EAB) are limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guide (PAG) exposure levels, as detailed in the EPAs Protective Action Guide and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents, Draft for Interim Use and Public Comment dated March 2013 (PAG Manual). Exposure levels warranting pre-planned emergency preparedness activities are limited to onsite areas. For this reason, this Plan addresses actions necessary to safeguard onsite personnel and minimize damage to property.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 1-1
1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this Plan is to assure an adequate level of preparedness by which to cope with a spectrum of emergencies that could be postulated to occur, including means to minimize radiation exposure to Plant personnel. This Plan integrates the necessary elements to provide effective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of organizations expected to respond to potential emergencies.
1.2 SCOPE Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (DEF) has developed this PDEP to respond to potential radiological emergencies at CR3 considering it's permanently shutdown and defueled status. Because the analyses of the credible design basis events and consequences indicate there are no postulated accidents that would result in off-site dose consequences that are large enough to require off-site emergency planning, the overall scope of this Plan delineates the actions necessary to safeguard onsite personnel and minimize damage to property.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 1-2
2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 OVERVIEW OF PDEP In the event of an emergency at the CR3 Plant, actions are required to identify and assess the nature of the emergency and to bring it under control in a manner that protects the health and safety of Plant personnel.
This Plan describes the organization and responsibilities of DEF for implementing emergency measures. It describes interfaces with Federal, State of Florida, and Citrus County organizations, which may be notified in the event of an emergency, and may provide assistance. Emergency services are provided by local public and private entities. Fire, rescue and law enforcement services are provided by Citrus County. Ambulance service is provided by Nature Coast Emergency Medical Services. Medical services are provided by Seven Rivers Regional Medical Center (SRRMC).
CR3 is licensed under the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities. Consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, this Plan is based on the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.47(b) and Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, with approved exemptions that reflects CR3 in its permanently shutdown and defueled status. Sections 5.0 thru 20.0 of this Plan address the standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(1) through (16). In addition, the Plan is also intended to meet appropriate State of Florida and U.S. NRC regulations in accordance with DEF's Operating License (No. DPR-72).
Because the analyses of the credible design basis events and consequences indicate there are no postulated accidents that would result in off-site dose consequences that are large enough to require off-site emergency planning, emergencies are divided into two classifications: 1) Notification of UNUSUAL EVENT (UNUSUAL EVENT) and 2) ALERT. This classification scheme has been discussed and agreed upon with responsible off-site organizations and is compatible with the State Plan. According to the EPA PAG Manual, Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) are not necessary at those facilities where it is not possible for PAGs to be exceeded off-site.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 2-1
2.1 OVERVIEW OF PDEP (Continued)
DEF is responsible for planning and implementing emergency measures within the CR3 OWNER CONTROLLED AREA. This Plan is provided to meet that responsibility.
To carry out specific emergency measures discussed in this Plan, detailed implementing procedures are established and maintained. Appendix A provides a listing of the implementing procedures for this Plan. Those procedures necessary to maintain the emergency preparedness program are also addressed in Appendix A.
In addition to the description of activities and steps that can be implemented during a potential emergency, this Plan also provides a general description of the steps taken to recover from an emergency. It also describes the training, drills, exercises, planning, and coordination appropriate to maintain an adequate level of emergency preparedness.
2.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION The CR3 Plant is located at Red Level, Florida in Citrus County, about 5 miles south of Levy County. The site is 7.5 miles northwest of Crystal River, Florida and 90 miles north of St. Petersburg, Florida. CR3 is situated on the Gulf of Mexico, within the Crystal River Energy Complex.
CR3 formerly consisted of a single unit nominal 911 MWe / 2609 MWth Nuclear Power Plant, utilizing a Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) Company (currently AREVA) pressurized water reactor (PWR). The unit is certified to have ceased power operations and is permanently defueled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii).
Spent fuel is stored in SF Pool A and SF Pool B, both of which feature high-density storage racks. Spent Fuel is also stored in the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The SF Pool storage racks are designed to Seismic Class I requirements. The fuel storage racks are designed to have a minimum of 23 feet of water shielding over stored assemblys fuel rods. A complete description of spent fuel storage is provided in Section 9.6 of the FSAR.
ISFSI is a robust and high integrity facility for the spent fuel storage system. This facility is designed to prevent the release of radioactivity in the event of accidents, including environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquake and flooding).

2.3
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY ACTIONS This Plan is activated by the EMERGENCY COORDINATOR (EC) upon identification of an emergency situation at CR3. The emergency measures described in the subsequent sections and implementing procedures are implemented in accordance with the classification and nature of the emergency and directions from the EC.
Regulatory authorities and off-site support organizations are notified in accordance with this Plan. The EC has authority and responsibility for control and mitigation of the emergency, including emergency response resources, coordination of radiological ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES, RECOVERY implementation, and coordination of emergency response activities.
The following sections of this Plan describe the detailed plans and actions of the CR3 Emergency Response Organization (ERO), including interfaces with off-site support organizations.

PDEP DRAFT C Page 7-1
8.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 8.1 STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES DEF utilizes NEI 99-01, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors Rev. 6, as its basis for classifying emergencies. Specifically, Appendix C of NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 contains a set of Initiating Conditions/EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELs (EALs) for permanently defueled nuclear power plants that had previously operated under a 10 CFR Part 50 license and have permanently ceased operations.
Section 8, Table E-1 of NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 contains the Initiating Conditions/EALs for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The classification system referenced in NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 has been endorsed by the NRC and offers a standard method for classifying emergencies. EALs are addressed in site procedures and the Permanently Defueled EAL Basis Manual (PDEALBM).
This Plan addresses two (2) classifications of emergencies (UNUSUAL EVENT and ALERT), which represent a hierarchy of emergencies based on potential accidents that could occur at CR3. CR3 maintains the capability to assess, classify and declare an emergency condition within 30 minutes of information becoming available to Control Room personnel that conditions have reached an EAL threshold.
8.1.1 Unusual Event Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the Plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No release of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected. The State of Florida and the NRC are notified of an UNUSUAL EVENT.
The purpose of the UNUSUAL EVENT classification is to bring the on-shift staff to a state of readiness and to provide for systematic handling of event information and its related decision making.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 8-1
8.1.2 Alert Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the Plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.
As in the case of the UNUSUAL EVENT, the ALERT classification includes emergency situations which are not expected to threaten the public, but for which notification of the State of Florida and the NRC is required.
The purpose of the ALERT classification is to assure that the CR3 ERO is available to respond to perform event mitigation, radiation monitoring if required, and to provide the State of Florida and the NRC with current information on Plant status.
8.2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND POSTULATED ACCIDENTS Both emergency classifications are characterized by EALs consisting of specific instrument readings, alarms, and observations which are used either in combination or singularly to tell the on-shift staff that an initiating condition has occurred, thus allowing the EC to declare the appropriate level of emergency. These EALs are used to assure that the initial classification of emergencies can be accomplished rapidly, allowing for the prompt identification of the nature of mitigating activities needed.
EALs and Initiating Conditions are provided under the following categories for permanently defueled stations:
- Abnormal Radiation Levels / Radiological Effluent
- Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety
These conditions include accidents evaluated in the FSAR. Specific guidance for classifying emergencies is found in site procedures and the Permanently Defueled EAL Basis Manual (PDEALBM).
EALs shall be reviewed with State of Florida and Citrus County government authorities on an ANNUAL basis.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 8-2
9.0 NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES To provide prompt notification of affected personnel and emergency response organizations in the event of an emergency at CR3, DEF has established means for notification and dissemination of emergency messages. These means utilize both normal communications systems and those dedicated for emergency use.
Emergency message formats have been established to disseminate appropriate emergency information to affected personnel and organizations.
9.1 BASIS FOR NOTIFICATION The analyses of the credible design basis events and consequences indicate that there are no postulated accidents that would result in off-site dose consequences that are large enough to require off-site emergency planning. The notification of personnel and emergency response organizations is commensurate with the hazard posed by the emergency. The EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM described in Section 8.0 is the primary bases for notification and has been mutually agreed upon by applicable State and Federal response organizations.
The EC is responsible for identifying the appropriate emergency classification, declaring the emergency and initiating emergency notifications.
9.2 MEANS OF NOTIFICATION Various communications systems, as described in Section 10.0 are available to perform emergency notifications. As noted above, the EC is the primary individual for initiating notifications; however, the EC may designate an individual to carry out appropriate notifications. Implementing procedures and various directories identify organizations and individuals to be notified and contain appropriate listings of telephone numbers.
The following sections describe the means of notifying, alerting, and mobilizing the various emergency response organizations or individuals.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 9-1
9.2.1 CR3 Plant Staff Following declaration of an emergency, the EC will notify the Station Duty Manager.
The Station Duty Manager will then notify the General Manager Decommissioning of an emergency condition. These notifications will be completed via the Plant phone system or a commercial telephone which may include land line and/or a wireless device capable of receiving text messages. Notification of other key personnel may be made by commercial telephone and include land lines and/or wireless devices capable of receiving text messages.
On-site staff is informed of an emergency condition through the use of both audible and visual alarms and the Public Address (PA) System. Separate, distinct, audible alarms are available to alert personnel of a FIRE, building evacuation and PROTECTED AREA evacuation. The EC or designee will use the CR3 PA System to inform personnel of specific emergency conditions or instructions, and to activate the CR3 ERO. In the event that personnel required to staff emergency positions are not on-site, they may be contacted through manual notification by commercial telephone and/or wireless devices capable of receiving text messages.
9.2.2 CR1 & 2 and 4 & 5 Control Centers Upon declaration of an emergency, the EC or a delegate will notify the CR1 & 2 and the 4 & 5 Control Centers by Plant phone or other available means, and an appropriate response will be initiated. The EC or a delegate will provide further instructions, as required.
9.2.3 Nuclear Regulatory Commission The NRC Operations Center will be notified of an emergency via the ENS, a designated phone line available in the CR3 Control Room. Upon contact with the NRC, a description of the emergency is provided, along with potential consequences.
Commercial phone lines will be used as a backup means of notification in the event of failure of the ENS.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 9-2
9.2.4 State Watch Office-Tallahassee The State Watch Office-Tallahassee (SWOT) will be notified of an emergency via the SHRD. The commercial telephone system serves as back-up communications systems. Upon contact, the content of the Florida Nuclear Plant Emergency Notification Form will be provided. The SWOT will notify the Florida DEM and Citrus County officials of an emergency at CR3.
9.2.5 Medical Support Organizations If an emergency involves personnel injury, the EC can request assistance from off-site medical support organizations.

12.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Facilities and equipment available to augment the CR3 ERO and effectively mitigate and control emergencies are identified in this section. Where adequate description is provided in the CR3 FSAR, such information is incorporated by reference.
The following paragraphs describe these emergency facilities. Subsequent sections describe the emergency equipment and other means of providing emergency support through these centers. Communications systems available at each center have been described in Section 10.0.
The State of Florida has facilities to carry out their emergency response activities and interface with DEF.
12.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES The ability of Plant personnel to monitor Plant systems and equipment on a continuous basis is maintained in various locations at CR3 and allows the ERO to effectively control and support emergency response activities. Some of these locations (e.g., Control Room and 95' elevation) are staffed on a regular basis while others are staffed in the event of an emergency.
12.1.1 CR3 Control Room The principal emergency control center is the CR3 Control Room. The Control Room contains instrumentation and control systems necessary to identify and continuously monitor emergency conditions and for taking various corrective and on-site PROTECTIVE ACTIONS. Section 12.2 identifies the systems important for emergency response and detailed descriptions are provided in the FSAR. The Control Room has reliable voice and data communications capabilities with the SWOT and the NRC.
During an emergency, Control Room activities are conducted under the direct supervision of the Shift Supervisor, who can maintain contact with augmented staff located in the Emergency Support Center (ESC). The Control Room is staffed as described in Section 6.0 and additional support can be obtained from the augmenting staff responding to the ESC, as required.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 12-1
12.1.2 Emergency Support Center (ESC)
The ESC is provided as a point of assembly for augmented resources providing technical expertise to assist the EC and the Control Room in the assessment, mitigation and response to an emergency. It also supports the dispatch of emergency teams. The ESC is located in the Control Complex adjacent to the Control Room. The Control Complex contains communications equipment, emergency radiation monitoring equipment, emergency respiratory devices, and an emergency kit containing protective clothing and other supplies (see Table 12.1).
Augmented staff responding to the ESC and the Control Room have access to up-to-date technical documentation, including drawings, system information and procedures to enable mitigation planning and support of Control Room staff.
Communications systems available in the Control Complex are described in Section 10.0.
12.1.3 Nuclear Security Operations Center The Nuclear Security Operations Center (NSOC) provides appropriate accountability of individuals leaving the PROTECTED AREA and controls access to the facility.
This building serves as the key location for security activity and control in accordance with site procedures. The NSOC is equipped to implement all appropriate security measures and is the primary location for personnel accountability. Under certain meteorological conditions, evacuation of the NSOC may be necessary and personnel accountability can be conducted at an alternate location as directed by the EC.
12.1.4 Alternate ERO Augmentation Facility DEF maintains an off-site facility that would be available as a staging area for augmentation staff in the event that access to CR3 is impeded. The alternate facility is capable of:
- Communicating with the Control Room and Plant Security
- Performing notifications to the SWOT
- Enabling emergency repair and damage control teams to begin planning actions to mitigate the consequences of an event
- Supporting a rapid response as soon as the site is deemed accessible The alternate facility is located at the Duke Energy Operations Center in Inverness.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 12-2
12.2 ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT DEF maintains or has access to data from monitoring systems essential for initiating emergency measures and performing accident assessment. This includes monitoring systems for radiological conditions, hydrology, meteorology, and Plant processes.
12.2.1 Radiation Monitoring System DEF maintains the radiation monitors described in the Permanently Defueled EAL Basis Manual (PDEALBM) that monitor areas near the Spent Fuel Pool, the Control Room, and that monitor gaseous and liquid releases. Portable radiation monitoring instruments are maintained to support ISFSI operations including transfer operations of the Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) to the Horizontal Storage Module (HSM) and for monitoring of the spent fuel while in storage in the HSM. Additional detail regarding the Radiation Monitoring System is contained in the FSAR. Field radiation monitoring capabilities are described in Section 13.2.2 of the PDEP.
Installed and portable radiation monitoring and sampling equipment, including dedicated emergency response equipment are maintained.
12.2.2 Hydrologic Monitoring Systems Off-site hydrologic monitoring data is available to DEF from the Southwest Florida Water Management District which maintains monitoring wells throughout Citrus County. Additional hydrologic data could be obtained from the public water supplies identified in the FSAR.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 12-3
12.2.3 Meteorological Monitoring Systems DEF receives meteorological data from established local weather services, such as Local News and Weather television and radio stations, including the Internet. CR3 has reduced the risk of a credible accident now that it has entered decommissioning. There is no credible accident that can result in a radiological release off-site. Therefore, methods for assessing an off-site release are no longer warranted. Meteorological methods that provide local wind direction and wind speed data are adequate to protect on-site workers and members of the general public that may be on site.
12.2.4 Plant Process Monitoring Systems Annunciator and computer alarms are provided for a variety of parameters including the Spent Fuel Cooling System to indicate SF Pool level, temperature, and pump status.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 12-4
12.3 PROTECTIVE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT 12.3.1 Fire Protection System The Fire Protection Plan outlines FIRE protection, FIRE detection, and FIRE suppression activities at CR3. These systems are designed to detect and alert CR3 personnel of excess temperature or FIRE conditions in specified areas of the Plant and to automatically actuate fixed FIRE extinguishing systems in affected areas.
A variety of manual FIRE extinguishing equipment is also available to the Fire Brigade.
12.4 EMERGENCY SUPPLIES Emergency equipment and supplies to carry out the provisions of the Emergency Plan are specified in Plant procedures. Table 12.1 lists typical emergency equipment and supplies and their locations.
Emergency kit contents listed in Table 12.1 are inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked at least quarterly and anytime a kit is opened and used, in accordance with HPP-409, Inventory and Availability of Emergency Supplies /
Equipment." Sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment are provided to replace those which are removed from emergency kits for calibration or repair. Calibration of instruments has been established at intervals recommended by instrument suppliers, or as required by Federal regulations.
12.5 FIRST AID FACILITIES First aid supplies and equipment are located throughout CR3. Qualified personnel are available 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to provide medical treatment as referenced in Section 16.0.
Radiological wound monitoring on-site is performed using an appropriate high sensitivity detector (e.g., HP-210 probe). If the severity of the wound restricts decontamination efforts by radiation protection personnel, the injured personnel will be referred to off-site medical personnel or transported to an off-site medical facility for treatment and further decontamination.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 12-5
12.6 DAMAGE CONTROL EQUIPMENT Fire protection systems described in Section 12.3.1 are designed and maintained to mitigate the effects of FIRE.

13.0 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT Effective response to a potential emergency situation requires assessment to determine the nature of the emergency and its actual and potential consequences.
DEF has established various methods to evaluate and monitor the effects of a potential emergency at CR3 and has the appropriate means to assure adequate assessment.
13.1 RANGE OF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES The ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES required to evaluate a particular emergency depend on the specific nature and classification of the emergency. Activities could range from increased surveillance of monitors in the Control Room to surveys of affected Plant areas During an UNUSUAL EVENT, ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES required to fully identify the nature of the emergency are completed to determine the possibility of an escalation in the severity of the situation. At an ALERT classification, the ERO is activated to assist in assessment functions, such as performing confirmatory surveys or radiation monitoring, as required.
The EC determines the initial classification of the emergency based on systems and effluent parameter values or other observations as presented in the EALs. In order to provide effective coordination and direction of the CR3 ERO, the EC utilizes the minimum augmented staff, emergency teams, systems and equipment for continuing assessment of accident severity and means of control and potential impact on CR3 and Energy Complex personnel. The EC institutes ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES prescribed by implementing procedures as needed to accurately classify each emergency and to maintain accurate classification throughout the emergency.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 13-1
13.2 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT METHODS Accident ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES carried out at CR3 are aimed at three (3) basic areas: (a) determining the nature of the emergency; (b) determining or estimating the nature and quantities of an actual or potential radioactive release; and (c) assessing the actual or potential dose to CR3 and Energy Complex personnel.
13.2.1 Incident Determination ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES are necessary to determine the means to bring the emergency situation under control and to identify the specific affected areas, systems, and components. Based on this assessment, appropriate corrective actions can be identified and implemented.
The Control Room staff monitors instrumentation, including SF Pool parameters and process and radiation monitoring systems, and provides early identification of system status and potential for change. Augmented staff is provided appropriate data to assess the nature of the emergency and, in combination with the on-shift staff, recommend control actions to mitigate the emergency and potential effects.
Plant procedures provide instructions on identifying and responding to various types of abnormal and emergency situations involving Plant systems.
13.2.2 Radiation Monitoring and Estimating Release Potential Methods have been established to monitor radiation levels in the PROTECTED AREA and OWNER CONTROLLED AREA and to determine the nature of actual or potential radioactive releases. These activities range from radiation surveys to confirm the emergency classification to detailed measurement and analysis of liquid and gaseous samples to identify key isotopes or the nature of damage.
Control Room instrumentation is used by the operating staff to monitor SF Pool inventory and cooling capabilities and to obtain early indication of any release of radioactivity. The Plant process and effluent radiological monitoring systems and associated alarms described in Section 12.0 are utilized for this purpose.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 13-2
13.2.2 Radiation Monitoring and Estimating Release Potential (Continued)
In-Plant evaluations and radiological surveys are performed by radiation monitoring personnel. Upon activation of these personnel, the Radiation Controls Coordinator and EC determine area(s) to be surveyed. The radiation monitoring personnel conduct a general beta-gamma survey of the selected area(s), performs gross particulate air samples, conducts smear surveys, and establishes RCAs. Survey results are forwarded to the Radiation Controls Coordinator for evaluation and assessment. The Radiation Controls Coordinator will advise the EC of radiological status. The need for additional or continuing surveys is established by the EC.
Provisions have been established through implementing procedures to sample and analyze in-plant atmosphere and effluent releases for additional information.
Dose levels are determined at the EAB as soon as possible following an accidental release of radioactive material for EAL evaluation. Implementing procedures provide instructions for sampling plant effluents.
13.2.3 Dose Assessment Emergency workers are provided with dose measurement instrumentation.
Dose assessment capabilities are available on a 24-hour per day basis.
Implementing procedures provide a rapid method of determining the magnitude of a radioactive release from CR3 during an accident condition. A computerized and manual method can be used along with meteorological and radiological data to generate dose projections for EAL evaluation.
Radiological surveys and monitoring outside of the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA are not anticipated as any credible accident or beyond design basis accident can result in radioactive releases or direct radiation doses which exceed EPA PAGs beyond the EAB. However, in the event the State of Florida elects to conduct radiological surveys and monitoring, these activities would be coordinated by the State and conducted by the State Radiological Emergency Team.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 13-3
14.0 PROTECTIVE RESPONSE [R2]
The Radiation Protection Program assures that protective measures are provided for the purpose of safeguarding the health of all personnel working at the Energy Complex. DEF is responsible for the implementation of these protective measures. Implementation guidelines for PROTECTIVE ACTIONS are contained in implementing procedures.
14.1 ON-SITE PROTECTIVE MEASURES The protective measures serve as the basis for additional measures required during an emergency. Some of the standard and emergency measures are discussed in the following sections.
14.1.1 Radiation Protection Program A detailed description of the Radiation Protection Program is provided in Section 15.0 of this Plan. The Radiation Protection Program requires the use of protective equipment to minimize personnel exposure and to maintain exposure limits within 10 CFR 20. The external dosimetry program includes provisions and requirements for use of both permanent record and self-reading dosimeters (e.g., pocket or electronic dosimeters). Dosimeter ranges are sufficient to measure both planned routine and foreseeable accident doses. Implementing procedures associated with this Plan establish requirements for distributing dosimeters to emergency responders, including those individuals responding to CR3 from off-site locations. Internal doses are typically estimated through the use of whole body counting and/or in-vitro sampling and analysis routines. Implementing procedures associated with this Plan or the Radiation Protection Program establish requirements for determining internal doses based on in-vivo or in-vitro analyses results or by assessment of individual exposures to airborne radioactive materials.
Implementing procedures also establish guidance for wearers to periodically read their self-reading dosimeters to maintain compliance with emergency exposure guidelines.
DEF maintains individual dose records in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 20 and the Radiation Protection Program and its supporting procedures.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 14-1
14.1.2 Emergency Exposure Guidelines Protective measures of on-site personnel are detailed in implementing procedures for circumstances in which Plant personnel exposure may otherwise exceed allowable limits. These procedures address corrective and PROTECTIVE ACTIONS, use of protective equipment, and personnel evacuation and accountability.
Table 14.1 provides exposure guidelines for on-site emergency activities.
These measures are determined from considerations of personnel protection and not by emergency classification.
14.2 PERSONNEL ASSEMBLY, SHELTERING, OR EVACUATION The EC has the authority to initiate personnel assembly, sheltering, or evacuation of CR3. Personnel assembly can be used to facilitate communication, accountability, and supervision during an emergency. When assembly is requested, personnel will stop work, shut down potentially hazardous equipment, and proceed to the pre-designated LOCAL ASSEMBLY AREAS. LOCAL ASSEMBLY AREA accountability will take place and the results will be reported to the EC when requested. At a declaration of an ALERT or at any time deemed necessary, the EC will direct non- essential personnel to LOCAL ASSEMBLY AREAS.
Plant personnel are expected to report to LOCAL ASSEMBLY AREAS immediately following the Public Address System announcement. The Local Area Supervisor is required to notify Security at the Central Alarm Station (CAS) if an individuals location is not determined in approximately 30 minutes from the time assembly begins. Personnel will remain in the assembly areas until instructed to return to work, report to the Main Assembly Area, or leave the Crystal River Energy Complex.
Accountability of all personnel onsite will be accomplished during local assembly and the names of missing individuals will be determined within 60 minutes of the start of an emergency (at a declaration of an ALERT or at any time deemed necessary).
Onsite individuals will be accounted for continuously thereafter.
The EC will initiate evacuation of the PROTECTED AREA if deemed necessary to ensure personnel safety. Evacuation of the CR3 PROTECTED AREA will be coordinated by the Director Nuclear Plant Security, or a designated representative. In the event of an evacuation of the PROTECTED AREA, Plant personnel will report to the Main Assembly Area for organization and supervision.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 14-2
14.2 PERSONNEL ASSEMBLY, SHELTERING, OR EVACUATION (Continued)
An evacuation may affect the CR3 PROTECTED AREA or the Energy Complex.
The EC will determine the specific areas to be evacuated. Evacuation of all other portions of the Energy Complex will be coordinated by CR3 Security.
Procedural guidance has been established as an aid in implementing an evacuation.
Plant procedures contain instructions to evacuate specific work areas or buildings whenever emergency conditions create a localized radiological hazard.
14.3 OFF-SITE PROTECTIVE MEASURES The analyses of the credible design basis events and consequences indicate there are no postulated accidents that would result in off-site dose consequences that are large enough to require off-site protective measures.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 14-3

NOTE: Reference for this table is Table 2-2 in the EPA PAG Manual.
NOTE: The dose limits listed above are in addition to any annual occupational dose already received.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 14-4
15.0 RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL CR3 maintains a radiological exposure control program to assure that protection against radiological exposure, as set forth in 10 CFR Part 20 and Chapter 170J-1 of the State of Florida Statutes, is provided. This program is implemented through the "Radiological Protection Standard" which covers both normal and emergency radiation protection measures.
15.1 EXPOSURE GUIDELINES During an emergency operation, doses above normal occupational radiation exposure limits may be authorized by the EC for activities such as saving a life, preservation of valuable equipment, or controlling exposure. Table 14.1 provides exposure guidelines for on-site emergency activities.
Actions such as providing first aid or medical treatment, removal of injured personnel, personnel decontamination, or ambulance service could encounter the lifesaving guideline. Measures to reduce exposure should be considered as practical.
Personnel involved in lifesaving actions should be volunteers (healthy and above the age of 45) with the approval and authorization of the EC. If the situation allows, Health Physics personnel should provide recommended courses of action to minimize exposure.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 15-1
15.2 RADIATION PROTECTION The purpose of a Radiation Protection Program is to assure that radiation doses received by personnel are kept as low as reasonably achievable and do not exceed the prescribed limits for both normal and emergency conditions. The established measures to provide this assurance include access control, personnel monitoring, and contamination control.
15.2.1 Access Control Strict access control is a primary means to minimize radiation exposure.
Measures are initiated by the EC through the use of the radiation monitoring personnel as described in procedures.
In an emergency in which hazardous radiation levels might be encountered, the radiation monitoring personnel are dispatched. RCAs are established where elevated levels of radiation, contamination, and/or airborne radioactivity may exist.
Within the RCA, areas of varying hazards may be present; these are identified and controlled per Radiation Protection procedures.
During an emergency, a temporary RCA may be set up in other parts of the Plant, as directed by the EC, by barricades, ropes, etc., and be conspicuously posted with precautionary signs.
Radiations Work Permits (RWP)s are utilized to maintain control of personnel radiation exposures. For emergency, short-term, or special situations, an Emergency RWP can be initiated in accordance with procedures.
A Control Point is established, as appropriate, as the point of entrance to and exit from an RCA to ensure personnel are adequately attired with required protective clothing and have proper personnel monitoring devices, and to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination upon exiting.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 15-2
15.2.2 Personnel Exposure Monitoring Personal dosimeters are utilized to monitor the exposure of personnel during normal or emergency conditions. Adequate supplies of dosimeters are maintained for use during an emergency. Procedures describe in detail the types of personal dosimeter devices, the manner in which they are to be used, who is to wear them, and how they are to be cared for. Provisions have been established, both on-site and through service organizations, to provide 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day capability to read dosimeters to determine the doses received by emergency workers.
When it is suspected that radioactive materials may have entered the body, appropriate bioassay services and/or special tests shall be performed as stipulated in 10 CFR 20. The determination of the individual's exposure shall be based upon this evaluation.
The CR3 Radiation Protection Program requires that individual exposure records be documented and maintained in order to: (a) evaluate the effectiveness of the Radiation Protection Program; (b) demonstrate and facilitate compliance with procedural requirements and applicable governmental regulations; and (c) reconstruct for legal or medical purposes situations and conditions for analysis of radiation doses received.
15.3 CONTAMINATION CONTROL Various contamination control measures are utilized. These include the access control measures discussed above and means for the decontamination of personnel, areas, and equipment are addressed in Plant procedures and are briefly described below.
15.3.1 Personnel Decontamination During normal or emergency conditions, contamination should be removed from any part of a person's body prior to their leaving the RCA. All personnel decontamination, even during an emergency, will be performed under the supervision of the Health Physics Section and in accordance with Plant procedures.
CR3 maintains dedicated decontamination and clothing supplies on-site. The location of the decontamination supplies are listed in Plant procedures. Decontamination stations, which include a decontamination shower, are located in the Control Complex near the exit to the RCA and on the first floor of the Plant Administration Building.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 15-3
15.3.2 Area and Equipment Decontamination Areas and equipment are considered contaminated when there is loose, removable, contamination in excess of levels stipulated in Radiation Protection procedures.
Radioactive material may be shipped following an emergency in accordance with site procedures.
15.3.3 Control of Potable Water and Food Potable water and food supplies are protected from radioactive contamination on-site by the following measures:
- a. All potable water for the Plant site comes from wells located four (4) miles east of the Plant, through an open lime softener at Unit 1.
- b. No food is permitted in the RCA.
- c. Controlled use of hydration station when necessary.
In addition, selected water sources and vegetation around the Plant are routinely analyzed for radioactivity. Also, external radiation field measurements and ambient air samples are analyzed.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 15-4
16.0 MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPORT Medical assistance is available on-site and off-site for treatment of CR3 personnel.
Various means of transportation are also available to transport individuals for radiological and non-radiological injuries. The following sections describe the available medical support. Table 16.1 summarizes the types of medical treatment for various types of injuries.
The individuals and organizations providing emergency medical assistance as identified in this section either have the capability for evaluation of radiation exposure and uptake or they are provided this capability from DEF in the form of personnel and/or equipment. DEF assures that persons providing these services are adequately prepared to handle contaminated individuals through detailed training classes, drills and exercises. Letters of Agreement with off-site organizations and individuals for medical support are listed in Appendix B.
16.1 ON-SITE FIRST AID First aid assistance at CR3 is designed to handle a wide range of injuries. This task is accomplished by medical response personnel.
16.1.1 Medical Response Personnel The medical response personnel are on-site individuals trained in basic medical procedures and certified by the State of Florida Department of Health, Division of Medical as described in Section 19.0 of this Plan. Medical response personnel are trained to handle injured personnel, with or without radiological considerations.
16.1.2 First Aid Kits First aid kits are located throughout the Plant. The kits are maintained by plant staff personnel.
16.1.3 On-Site Medical Emergency Communications An emergency phone system is available for reporting medical emergencies.
This system enables an individual to report an emergency by dialing "555" on any PAX or 5555 on any conventional intra-Plant phone at CR3, which activates a dedicated emergency telephone in the Control Room.

17.0 RECOVERY AND RE-ENTRY PLANNING AND POST-ACCIDENT OPERATIONS DEF has established general plans described in the following sections to yield RECOVERY from potential emergencies at CR3.
17.1 RE-ENTRY PLANS RE-ENTRY into affected areas of CR3 may be required during the early stages of an emergency. Entry will be required for one or more of the following reasons:
- a. To search for personnel not accounted for;
- b. To perform operations or repairs to minimize or eliminate the source of the emergency;
- c. To determine more definite emergency RCA boundaries;
- d. To perform rescue operations; and
- e. To save property.
Personnel performing these activities will be approved by the EC. The team will be thoroughly briefed beforehand regarding their actions while in the evacuated area.
Efforts will be made to minimize exposure and all individuals will be briefed on emergency exposure and the risk involved with each mission.
Table 14.1 provides exposure guidelines for on-site emergency activities.
PDEP DRAFT C Page 17-1
17.2 EMERGENCY TERMINATION AND NOTIFICATION Termination of an emergency status is the responsibility of the EC. This decision will be based on the following considerations:
- a. Conditions no longer meet an EAL and it appears unlikely that conditions will deteriorate.
- b. Plant releases of radioactive materials to the environment are under control (within Tech Specs).
- c. In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and are acceptable given the Plant conditions.
- d. The operability and integrity of power supplies, electrical equipment and Plant instrumentation including radiation monitoring equipment is acceptable
- e. All required notifications have been made.
- f. Off-site conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station and qualified personnel and support services are available.
- g. Radiological and Plant conditions permit resumption of normal occupational exposure limits to continue mitigation/repair activities.
The EC is also responsible for providing notification of the emergency termination and initiation of RECOVERY operations to the NRC, State of Florida (SWOT),
the CR3 ERO, and other organizations that may be providing on-site support.
17.3 RECOVERY OPERATIONS RECOVERY operations begin immediately following emergency termination.
