- 1. 0 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS)
Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is to classify emergencies, assign responsibilities for actions, and to establish the lines of authority and communications to protect the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency.
2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The RERP has been developed in accordance with 10CFR Part 50, Paragraph 50.47 and Appendix E, Regulatory Guide 1.101 and generally follows the guidelines of NUREG 0696 and 0654. The RERP is sensitive to a broad spectrum of emergency conditions which have been postulated for a commercial pressurized water reactor. Although the probability of an accident is low, the RERP is maintained to assure the safety and well-being of plant personnel and members of the public in the vicinity of WCGS.
2.2 The RERP interfaces with several related documents such as the Administrative Procedures (APs) and Emergency Plan Procedures (EPPs). Detailed instructions necessary to support the RERP are included in these procedures and are available for training, drill, and actual emergency use. The RERP references the WCGS Fire and Security Plans, Vendor contingency plans as well as those of medical support facilities and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). This document has been designed to coordinate with the State Emergency Operations Plan and the Coffey County Contingency Plan for Incidents Involving Commercial Nuclear Power, which govern the activities of these support groups in response to events at WCGS.
2.3 The RERP is based on a graduated, escalating level of emergency response which is activated as conditions at the plant warrant. This approach provides the flexibility necessary to ensure adequate emergency response to a spectrum of possible events. The RERP is designed to control emergency response activities ranging from initial event detection, classification of the event, notification of off-site authorities and providing protective action recommendations to the county and state.
2.4 The RERP reflects three chief phases of activation. First the response is dominated solely by the site staff, next the on-site and off-site public information facilities are jointly activated, and finally the recovery efforts are
- performed by site, public information facilities, vendor, and other critical support groups.

- 2.5 The WCGS normal operating organization and its functional responsibilities are described in the WCGS Technical Specifications, Administrative Procedures, Human Resources company organization charts and the WCGS Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) . No further discussion of the normal operating organization is contained within the RERP.
2.6 The WCGS design bases accidents and various plant systems are listed and described in the WCGS Technical Specifications and USAR. No further discussion of these accidents or systems is contained within the RERP.
2.7 The owners of WCGS do not respond to the site during emergency events for augmentation. The Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation organization functions from the site during normal everyday operations.

- 6.0 6.1 PROCEDURE Site Description 6 .1.1 WCGS is a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear generating station operated by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) .
6 .1. 2 WCGS is located near the center of Coffey County, Kansas (KS), about 3.5 miles northeast of Burlington, the county seat, 90 miles southwest of Kansas City, MO and 55 miles south of the state capital Topeka, KS.
6 .1. 3 The immediate site environs are sparsely populated. Burlington and New Strawn .are the major population centers. John Redmond Reservoir (JRR) and Coffey County Lake (CCL) are the major recreational facilities. Most of the seasonal or daily shifts in population are associated with recreational areas around JRR and CCL.
Approximately 70% of the annual visitors to the John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake come to the area during the summer months .
6.1. 4 The 10-mile Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is a major consideration in the RERP.
Approximately 99% of the 10-mile EPZ is located within Coffey County and 1% within Anderson County. The EPZ has been defined by developing sub-zones based upon natural and political subdivisions. These have been described for evacuation zones approximating 2, 5 and 10-mile radial rings. This distribution allows ready identification of areas to be evacuated and facilitates public recognition of subzones in which they work or reside. FIGURE 1, EFFECTIVE 10 MILE EPZ, SUBZONES AND EVACUATION ROUTES, presents the 2, 5 and 10-mile radial zones and subzones which provides the basis for the design of an alert and notification system.
6 .1. 5 The total population of the effective 10-mile EPZ is shown in ATTACHMENT B, SUBZONE EVACUATION TIMES. With the exception of Burlington and the other population centers listed in ATTACHMENT A, EFFECTIVE 10-MILE POPULATION CENTERS, the population density of the effective 10-mile EPZ is approximately 4.4 persons per square mile.
- Other than the WCGS, there are no large industries in the area.
Revision: 18A AP 06-002 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Information Use !Page 12 of 93
- 6 .1. 6 Principal geographical features within the effective 10-mile EPZ are the Neosho River, JRR, and CCL. The land around WCGS is flat with scattered low hills. Dense vegetation in the form of large trees exists on the banks of the river and in recreational areas. There are no topographical features within the effective 10-mile EPZ that significantly influence the design of the Alert and Notification System.
- 1. Sparsely populated farm land comprises the majority of the effective 10-mile EPZ.
- 2. The site also demonstrates favorable topography, demography, and meteorology, which have been factored into many analyses that support the emergency planning effort.
- 3. The Neosho River is oriented northwest-southeast and extends to within 3 miles southwest of the plant.
- 4. The main dam of the John Redmond Reservoir is 3.5 miles west of the plant. This water conservation pool is approximately 4 miles in diameter with a surface area of 15 square miles.
- 5. The Coffey County Lake is approximately 7 miles long with a normal surface area of 8 square miles.
6 .1. 7 The meteorological conditions within the effective 10-mile EPZ are characterized by a distinctly continental climate with warm humid summers and highly variable winter weather.
Maritime tropical air originating over the Gulf of Mexico is the dominant air mass from June through August. This air mass is quite humid resulting in considerable thunderstorm activity.
From November through February, continental polar air dominates the climate.
6.2 Emergency Classifications 6.2.1 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C, requires a classification scheme of four specific levels of emergencies. NUMARC/NESP 007 is identified within REGULATORY GUIDE 1.101 and is
- considered by the NRC as an acceptable alternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG 0 654. [Cammi tment Step 3. 2 .1]
Revision: 18A AP 06-002 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Information Use !Page 13 of 93
- 6.2.2 An emergency class is a qualitative estimate of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of plant systems and the levels of radiation in plant areas and effluents. However, an emergency class does not give a qualitative or quantitative estimate of the subsequent status of the plant or radioactive release.
6.2.3 The emergency classes are used by off-site authorities to determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of members of the public are the legal responsibility of state and local government.
- 1. The functional interfaces between WCGS and other emergency organizations are shown in FIGURE 6, EMERGENCY ORGANIZATIONS INTERFACES.
6.2.4 The classification system used at WCGS is an approach that ranges from primarily event-based for Unusual Event to primarily symptom or barrier-based for General Emergencies. This is to better assure that timely recognition and notification occurs, that events occurring during refueling and cold shutdown are appropriately covered, and that multiple events can be effectively treated.
6.2.5 The Emergency Action Levels (EAL) are contained in APF 06-002-01, EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS. The EAL have been developed and agreed upon by WCGS, the State of Kansas and Coffey County and approved by the NRC. [Commitment Step 3.2;1]
- 1. The EAL are reviewed annually by the State and County.
- 6. 2. 6 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C.2, requires licensees to establish and maintain 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 a.nd shall promptly declare the emergency.
- 6. 2. 7 Each emergency classification causes certain actions to happen such as notifications,
- activation and evacuation .
- 1. An NUE requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. No evacuation or activation required.
Revision: 18A AP 06-002 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Information Use ~age 14 of 93
- 2. An Alert requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is called out and the emergency facilities are activated.
Accountability may be performed if necessary.
- 3. A Site Area Emergency requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. The ERO is called out and the emergency facilities are activated. The protected area is evacuated of non-responding personnel for accountability. JRR and CCL are evacuated. Accountability for site personnel is performed.
- 4. A General Emergency requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. The ERO is called out and the emergency facilities are activated. The site is evacuated of non-responding personnel. JRR and CCL are evacuated. Accountability for site personnel is performed.
6.3 Emergency Measures 6.3.1 Protective actions to minimize personnel exposure are taken when an incident has occurred, or may occur, which could result in a fission product barrier challenge or breach. In addition, protective actions are taken for personnel on-site for situations such as fires or flooding, where personnel safety is threatened.
6.3.2 Emergency measures consist of assessment, corrective, and protective actions. The Shift Manager and Senior Reactor Operators assume immediate responsibility for accident assessment and mitigation. The RERP and detailed emergency actions are based on the assumption that, in an emergency, licensed operators take appropriate measures to maintain or return the facility to a safe condition, in accordance with operating license conditions and the technical specifications.
- 1. Callout of the ERO to augment the on-shift staff and to activate the Emergency Facilities is performed at an Alert or higher classification or whenever augmentation is
- deemed necessary .

- 6.3.7 The Emergency Dose Calculation Program (EDCP) is a computerized method to provide dose estimates using actual or estimated meteorological data (wind speed, wind direction, degree of cloud cover, day or night determination) and radiological effluent data (actual measurements, estimated values based upon USAR source terms, or field measurements). EDCP is designed to:
[Reference Step 3.1.9]
- 1. Use radiological and meteorological information to provide an estimate of off-site exposure.
- 2. Be capable of estimating release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data.
- 3. Be capable of estimating release rates and off-site exposures for an unmonitored, pressure driven containment release using the Containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure .
- 4. Off-site dose predictions when combined with actual release duration information and meteorological data during an event, provide sufficient data to estimate the cumulative population dose resulting from the event.
The actual off-site population dose is confirmed by off-site monitoring, sampling and analysis.
6.3.8 Radiological monitoring teams have a goal of 60 minutes from the declaration of Alert or greater emergency to be ready for deployment to confirm effluent readings and verify plume emission and locations.
6.3.9 FIGURE 7, WCGS EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES, provides a view of the off-site area, showing the location of the EOF.

Revision: 18A AP 06-002 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Information Use IP age 19 of 93
- 6.3.15 There are suggested levels of exposure to be accepted in emergencies. Immediate reentry may be necessary to save a life, account for missing personnel, or secure vital equipment. The Emergency Managers are ultimately responsible for exposure control and can permit the receiving of up to 5 REM per person for work activities, 10 REM for saving valuable equipment and 25 REM for lifesaving after consulting with the NRC, if feasible. Exposure which might exceed 25 REM, for lifesaving activities, must be approved by an Emergency Manager. Although EPA and NRC do not provide specific guidance for the upper bounds for lifesaving exposure, WCGS has chosen to use the following criteria:
- 1. Emergency Managers shall not knowingly permit an individual's exposure to exceed 25 REM, unless it is for lifesaving activities or protection of large populations. Emergency Managers shall not knowingly permit an individual to enter a high dose area if the projected Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) is expected to exceed 75 REM .
o Those individuals designated to exceed 25 REM must be volunteers and be fully aware of the risks involved.
- 2. Emergency Managers should obtain the advice and concurrence of the Radiological Coordinators in approving additional exposure.
6.3.16 Under emergency conditions, normal exposure controls are maintained. This is ensured by the on-shift Health Physics Technician (HP) in the Control Room, the Radiological Coordinators in the TSC and EOF.
6.3.17 The Radiological Coordinator has responsibility for maintaining exposure control for site activities, including establishment of access control at alternate locations. Strict exposure control of individuals passing through the access point is maintained on a 24-hour-per-day basis.
6.3.18 In order to enhance the exposure control process and to provide dosimetry for an expanded number
- of people, dosimetry vendors are available to expedite shipment of extra dosimetry devices to supplement existing on-site supplies of dosimetry equipment and to supply personnel to assist in on-site appraisal of exposures.

(2) Use of KI is not planned for general population in Kansas. The State considers prompt evacuation of the public to be a more effective protective measure than administration of KI.
(3) Committed dose equivalent to be thyroid from radioiodine.

Dose Limit (Rem) Activity 10 Any worker, any phase No Limit - Life saving No specific upper limit is given for thyroid dose activities or since in life saving activities, complete thyroid loss protection OI large might be an acceptable sacrifice if a life can be populations saved. However, this should not be necessary if respirators and/or thyroid protections for rescue personnel are available as.a result of adequate planning.

Apply simple dose These protective actions should reduction techniques (3) <2 rem be taken to reduce doses to as low as practicable levels (1) The projected sum of effective dose equivalent from external gamma radiation and committed effective dose equivalent from inhalation suspended materials, from exposure or intake during the first year. Projected dose refers to the dose that would be received in the absence of shielding from structures of the application or dose reduction techniques. These PAGs may not provide adequate protection for some long-live radionuclides.
(2) Persons previously evacuated from areas outside the relocation zone defined by this PAG may return to occupy their residences. Cases involving relocation of persons at high risk from such action (e.g. patients under intensive care) should be evaluated individually.
(3) Simple dose reduction techniques include scrubbing and/or flushing hard surfaces, soaking or plowing soil, minor removal of soil from spots where radioactive materials have concentrated, and spending more time than usual indoors or in other low exposure rate areas.
