INTRODUCTION 1.1. J>urpose

A.*. This document provides an explanationandrationaleJor each Emergency Action Level

.(EAL) included in th~ EAL UpgradeProjectfor Nine Mile Point Nuclear-Station Uriit2

(NMP2}. It should be used to facilitate review of the NMP2 EALs and provide historical documentation for future reference. Decision..:makers responsible for implementation of EPIP-EPP-02, "Classification of Emergency Conditions at Unit 2," and the Emergency Action Level Matrices;. may use this. document as a technical reference in support of EAL

.. interpretation. This informationmay assist the Emergency Director in making

classifications,*particularly those involving judgment or multiple events. The basis

information may. also be useful in training, for explaining event classifications to offsite officials, and facilitates regulatory review and approval of the classification* scheme ..

Event inprogress has adversely affected functi.ons that are necessary to bring the plant to and maintain it iri the applicable hot or cold shutdown condition. Plant condition applicability is determined by Technical Specification LCOs in effect.

... Example 1: Event causes damage that resu.lts in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be

placed in hot shutdown. Hot shutdown is achievable, but cold shutdown is not. This event is not

. "AFFECTING SAFE. SHUTDOWN." .

Example 2: E~ent causes.damage 'that results in entry into an LCO that requires .the plant to be

A. Background

.1.

EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the Nine Mile Point Site Emergency Plan.

2~ In 1992, the NRC endorsed NUMARC/NESP-007 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" as an alternative to NUREG-0654 EAL .guidance.

3. NEI 99-01 (NUMARC/NESP-007) Revision 4 was subsequently issued for industry implementation. Enhancements over earlier revisions included:

Consolidating the system malfunction initiating conditions and example emergency action levels which address conditions that may be postulated to occur during plant shutdown conditions.

Initiating conditions and example emergency action levels that fully address conditions that may be postulated to occur at permanently Defueled Stations and INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATIONS (ISFSls).

- Simplifying the fission product barrier EAL threshold for a Site Area

Emergency.

UNIT 2 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION TECHNICAL BASES EP-AA-1013 Addendum 4 Revision 1 Page*13of 264 5.2.A (Continu~d) .* .

4. Subsequently; Revision 5 of.NEI 99'-01 has been.issued which incorporates resolutions to numerous implementation issues* including the NRC EAL FAQs .

. Using NEI 99-01 Revision 5 Final, February 2008 (ADAMS Accession Number

ML080450149}, NMP2 conducted an EAL implementation upgrade project that

- produced the EALs discussed herein.

B. . Fission Product Barriers

1. Mariy of the EALs derived fromthe NEI methodology are fission product barrier based. That is, the conditions that define the EALs are based upon loss or

. potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. "Loss" and

. "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier, "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials; "potential loss"implies an increased probability of barrier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier. . .

2. The primaryfission produdbarriers are:

a. Fuel Clad (FC): Zircdnium tubes which house the ceramic uranium oxide pellets along with the end plugs which are. welded into each end of the

fuel rods' comprise the FC barrier. .

b. . Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The reactorvessel shell,.vessel tiead,

CRD housings, vessel' nozzles and p~netrations, arid all priinar{systems .*

directly connectedto the RPVup to.the outermost Primary Containment***

.* isolation valve comprise the R.CS barrier. : ** * *.. * * * .*. *

c. * . Cont~inme~UPC): The;drywell, toe suppression chamb~r/pool; 'their**

Where possible~ the EALs have beeri made consistent with and utilize the conditions*deifined in the NMP2 Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). While

. the symptoms that drive operator ac;tions specified in the EOPs are riot indicative of all possible conditions which warrant emergency cla$sification, they define the symptoms, indeperident of initiating events, for which reactor plant safety and/or fission produd barrier integrity are threatened. When these symptoms are clearly representative of one of the NEI Initiating Conditions, they have been utilized as

.an E.AL This permits rapid classification of emergency situations based on plant conditions without the need for additional evaluation or event diagnosis. Although some of the EALs presented here are based on conditions defined in the EOPs,

.classification .of emergencie$ using these EALs is not dependent upori EOP entry or.execution.The EALs can be utilized independently or in conjunction with the EOPs. . .

Symptom-Based. vs. Everit"'Based Approach*

1 ** *Toth~ e~t~*ntpossible, theEALsare symptom~based. Thatis, the action.level*.

threshold is defined by values of key plant operating.parameters that identify emergency or potential emergency conditions. This approach i.s appropriate

. because it allows.the full scope of variations in the types of events to be**

classified* as emergencies>Howe\ler, a purely symptorn-based approach is not

sufficient to add.rE3ssall events fof which emergency classification is appropriate.*

Particular events to which no pretjetermined symptoms can be ascribed have

Multiple Simultaneoljs Events and IMMINENT EAL Thresholds

. 1.

When multiple simultaneous events occur, the emergency classification level is .

based on the highest EAL reached. For example, two Alerts remain in the.Alert category. Or,. an Alert and aSite Area Emergency is a Site Area Emergency.

Fµrther guiqance is provided in HIS 2007:-02, Clarification of NRG Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events.

2. Since NMP2 is at a multi-unit site, emergency classification level upgrading must also consider the effects of a loss of a common system on more than one unit (for example, potential for radioactive release from more than one core).

3, Although the !Tlajority the EALs ~rovidevery.specific thresholds, the*

of Emergency Director (E;D) must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to

. the conclusion that exceeding the EAL threshold is IMMINENT. If, in the judgment of the ED, an IMMINENT situatJon is af hand; the classification should

b13 made. as if the threshold has b~en exceeded, While th.is is particularly prudent at .the. higher emergency cla.sses (the early Classification may permit more .

effective implementation of protedive measures), it is nonetheless applicable to all ernergency classes. . . ' . .

N .. *** Emergency Classification Level Downgrading 1.* . Another important a~pect of usable*.EALguidance is the ~onsideration of. what to do when the risl< posed by an emerg,ency is clearly decreas.ing. A* combination *

- The DRAGON computer code has been used to determine the threshold values in Table R-1 for the SAE Classification. level. The methodology develops an isotopic concentration in the secondary containment that, when released through theHadwaste/RB Vent or the Main Stack, achieves 100 mRemTEDE or 500 mRem thyroid CDE at the SITE BOUNDARY. The nuclide inventory in the secondary containment was artificially created by postulating a source term in secondary containment based on main steam design isotopic distribution and adjusting the release rate from secondary containment uritifeither the whole body dr child thyroid dose limitat the SITE BOUNDARY is reached.

This isotopic distribution is not int~nded to specify a particular accident as the initiating event.

Values have been calculated for the GEMs noble ga~ charin~lonly since this is thereading that is

readily available to the operator.-Realistic, acddent atmospheric dispersion*(X/Q) fa~tors have been applied, (ref. 1) *

RA3.1 Alert Dose rates > 15 mRerri/hr in EITHER of the following areas requiring continuous occupancy to maintain plant safety functions: '

Control Room OR CAS Mode Applicability:

- AIL Basis:*

Plant.:.Specific

The Control Room and Central Alarm . Station (CAS) must. be continuously

... occupied in all plant

.operating modes at NMP2. CAS is included in this EAL because of its importance to permitting access to areas requir~ to assure saf~ plant operation.

Area Radiation Monitor (ARM) 2RMS-RE129 monitors ra.diatioil levels in the Control Room at 306' elevation. This is one of three Control Building ARMs that actuate Control Room annunciator 851246, CONTROL BLDG AREA RADN MON ACTVATED, giving personnel sufficient warning of changing levels (ref. 1). There is no area radiation monitoring system at NMP2 for the CAS. Abnormal radiation levels may be initially detected by routine radiological surveys.

It is the impaired ability to operate the plant that results in the actual or potential degradation of the level of safety oftheplant. The cause or magnitude of the increase in radiation levels is not a concern of this EAL. The Emergency Director must consider the *source or cause of the increased radiation levels and

.determine if any~ther EALs may be involved. For example, a dose rate of 15 mRem/hr in the Control

HA1 .3 Alert (Continued),

Table H-1 Safe Shutdown Areas include all structures containing Category I equipment and systems needed for safe shutdown (ref. 1).

Uncontrolled internal flooding that has degraded safety-related equipment or created a safety hazard precluding access necessary for the safe operation or monitoring ofsafety equipment warrants declaration of an Alert.

Generic Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on System Malfunction EALs.

This EAL addresses the effect of internal flooding caused by events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, Or outage activity mishaps. ,It-is based on the degraded performance of systems, or has created industrial safety hazards (for example, electrical shock) that preclude necessary acces-s to operate or monitor safety equipment. The inability to access, operate or monitor safety equipment represents an actual or substantial potential degradation of the level* of safety of the plant.

Flooding as used in this EAL describes a condition where water is entering the room faster than installed equipmentis capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room.

,Classification of this EAL should not be delayed while corrective actions are being taken to isolate the water source.

VISIBLE DAMAGE is used tQ identify the magnitude Of ttie FIRE or.EXPLOSION and to discriminate against minor FIHEs and EXPLOSIONs.

The reference to structures containing. safety systems or c.ompoilents is included to discriminate against FIREs or EXPLOSIONs in areas having a low probability. of affecting safe Operation. The significance here is not that a safety system was degraded but the fact that the FIRE or EXPLOSION was large enoughto cause damage to these systems. . .. .

The ~se of \/ISl13LE DAMAGE should not be interpreted as mandating lengthy dainage assessment a prior to Classification. The c::leclaratiori of an Alert and the activation of the Technical Support Center will provide the Emergency Director with. the resource~needed to. perform detailed damage _assessments.

Generic This EAL is based ~n the release of toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant or flammable gases of sufficient quantity to affectNORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS. .

. The. fact that ~CBA may be worn does not eliminate the need to d_eclare .the event.

.This.EAL isnot ihtended to require significant assessment or quantification. It assumes ~riuncontrolled

process that has the potential to affect plant operations, This would preclude small or incidental *.

releases, or releases thatdo~not impact structures needed for plant operation .

~f

.* An asphyxiant is. a gas capable reducing the level of .oxygen in the body to dangerous levels. Mo~t .

commonly, as'phyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment. This reduces the

.** concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties,

unconsciqusiless or even death. * * *

The intent of this condition is to

. ensure that notifications for the

. AIRLINER

. attack threat are made in a timely manner and that Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) and plant personnel are at a state of

heightened awareness regarding the credible threat. AIRLINER is meant to be a LARGE AIRCRAFT with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant.

. This condition is. met when a plant receives information regarding an AIRLINER attack threat from NRC and the AIRLINER is within 30 minutes of the plant. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need declare the Alert.

The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an AIRLINER (AIRLINER is meant to be a LARGE AIRCRAFT with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant). The status and size~of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRG. *.

Category E.:... INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI)

EAL Group: Not Applicable (the EAL in this category is applicable independent of plant operating mode)

An INDEPENDENT. SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) is a complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. A significant amount of the radioactive material contained within a

cask/canister must escape its packaging and enter the biosphere for there to be a significant environmental effect resulting from an accident involving the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel. Formal offsite planning is not required because the postulated worst-case accident involving an ISFSI has insignificant cpnsequences to the public health and safety.

A Notification of Unusual Event is declared on the basis of the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude that a loaded cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is damaged or violated. This includes

classification based on a loade_d fuel storage cask/canister CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY loss leading to the degradation of the fuel during storage or posing an operational safety problem with respect to its remova_I from storage.

A hostile Security event that lea~s to a potential loss in the level of safety of the ISFSI is a classifiable

. event under Security category EAL HA4.1.

Minor surface damage that does-not affect storage cask/canister boundary is .excluded from the scope of.these EALs ..

EAL Group:

Cold Conditions (RCS temperature s 200°F); EALs in this category are applicable

. only in one or more cold operating modes. *. . .. * *

. Category C EALsare directly associated with cold shutdown or refueling system safety functions. Given

the variability of plant configurations (for example; systems out-of-servicefor maintenance, containment open, ;educ¢d AC powerredund~ncy;time since shutdown) during these periods, the consequ~nces of any given initiating event can vary g're~tly: For example, a loss. of decay heat removal capability that occurl:) at the end of an exte~ded out~ge has less significa~ce than a similar loss occurring during the

. first\l\leek aftershutdown. Compounding these events is the likelihood that instrumentation necessary for ~ssessment may also be inoper~ble. The cold shutdown and refueling system_ malfunction EALs are

.based ,on performance capability to th~ extent possible with ~onsideratioh given to.RCS integrity,.

containmenf closure, and fuel. clad inte'grityfor the applicable operating modes (4 - Cold Shutdown, s*~.

CS3~3 Site Area Emerge,ncy (Continued)

Generic Under the conditions specified by this EAL, continued decrease in RPV level is indicative of a loss of inventory control. Inventory loss may be due to an RCS breach, pressure boundary leakage, or continued boiling in the RPV. Thus, declaration of a Site Area Emergency is warranted.

Escalation tQ a General Emergency is via EAL CG3.1, EALCG3.2, RG1.1, RGt.2 or RG1.3.

*

The 30-minute duration allows: sufficient time for actions to be performed to recover inventory control equipment. * * * * * * * * * **

As water level inthe RPV lower~, the dose r~te above the core will increase. The dose rate due to this

.. co.re shine should result in site specific monitor indication arid possible alarm.

CA3~ 1 Alert (Continued)

Basis:

Plant-Specific The threshold RPV water levei of 17 .8 in. is the low-low-low ECCS. actuation setpoint (ref. 1).

Figure C-1 illustrates the RPV water level instrument ranges (ref. 2, 3).

In Cold Shutdown mode, the RCS will normally be INTACT and standardRPVwater level monitoring means are available. In the Refuel mode, the RCS is not INTACT and RPV water level may be -

monitored by different means, including the' ability to monitor level visually.

In the second condition of this EAL, all RPV water level indication would be unavailable and,

. the RPV inventory loss must be detected by Table C-2, RPV Leakage Indications. Level increases must be*

evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the dryweff to ensure they are indicative of RPV leakage. Drywell equipment and floor drain sump level rise is the normal method of monitoring and calculating leakage from the RPV. A Reactor Building equipment or floor drain sump level rise may also be indicative of RPV inventory losses external to the Primary

.Containment from systems conneded to the RPV. With RHR System operating in the Shutdown Cooling mode, an UNPLANNED rise in suppression pool level could be indicative ofRHR valve misalignmenfor leakage. If the make~up rate to the RPV unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate.. a loss of RPV inventory may be.occurring even ifthe source of the leakage cannot be immediately

-. identified. Visual observation of leakage from systems con~ected to the RCS ih areas outside the Primary Containment that cannot be isolated could be indicative of a loss of RPV inventory. (ref. 4, 5, 6)

Depending on the configuration of the reactor cavity and Spent Fuel Pool (gates installed or removed) and the status of refueling operations (all spent fuel seated in storage racks/RPV or a bundle raised on the fuelgrapple), a loss of inventory may reduce water shielding above irradiated components or spent fuel. EALs in Subcategory R.2 should be assessed for emergency classification due to the radiological consequences of such events .

The shutdown range lev.el indication is utilized during cold reactor startup and vessel flood up for *

.refueling. The shutdown range instrument uses a single level transmitter (21SC*LT105) to provide an input to a level indicator on 2CES*PNLB51 (Computer PointA486). (ref. 4)

. This Cold Shutdown EAL represents the hot condition EAL SU8.1, in which RCS leakage is associated_ .

with Techn.ical Specification limits. In Cold Shutdown, these limits are not applicable; hence, the use of -

RPVwater leyel as the parameter of concern in this EAL (ref. 5).

Generic

__ This EALis a precursor df more serious conditions and considered to be a potential degradation of the -

- . leveH ofsatety of the plant..* . -

Refueling evolutions that decrease RPV water level below the RPV flange are carefully planned and -

procedurally controlled. An UNPLANNED .event that results in water level decreasing below the RPV flange, or below the planned -RPV wate~ level for the given evolution (if the planned RPV water level is.

already bel()W the RPV flange); warrants declaration of a UE due to the reduced RCS inventory that is *.

available to keep the core .covered. . .

Theallowanceof15 min~tesw~.schosen becayse itis reason~ble to assume that level can be resfored within this ~inie frame using one or more of the redundant means of refill that should be available. If

'level cannot-be res~ored in this time frame then it may indicate a more serious condition exists.

Continued loss of RCS Inventory will resultin escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either EALCA2.:1 or EAL CA3.1. * - -* .

_This EAL' involves a decrease in RCS level below the top of the RPV flange that continues for 15 minutes due to an UNPLANNED event. This EAL is not applicable to decreases in flooded reactor

Redundant means of RPV vvater level indication will normally be installed (including the ability to*

monitor level visually) to assure ttiat the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RPV inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by ob.serving sump and tank level changes. Sump and tank level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.

CA4~ 1 Alert (Continued) -

The 1O psig pressure increase addresses situations where, due fo high decay heat loads, the time -

provided to restore temperature control, should be l~ss than 60 minutes. The RPV-pressure setpoint was chosen_because it is the lowest pressure that the site can read on installed Control Board instrumentation that is equal to or greater than 10 psig. - -

Escalation to Site Area Emergency w~uld be via EAL CS3.1 should boiling result in significantRPV level loss leading to core uncovery.

A loss of Technical Specification components alone is not intended to constitute an Alert The same is true of a momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the_Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limitvithen the heat removal function is available.

The Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions thcit lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL is IMMINENT. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an IMMINENT

- situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the.threshold has been exceede_d.

This EAL is-a precursor of more serious conditions and, as a result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. In cold shutdow11 the ability to remove decay heat relies primarily :on forced cooling flow .. Operation of the systems that provide this forced cooling may be jeopardized due to the unlikely loss of electrical power or RCS inventory. Since the RCS usually

-Normal mean~ of core temperature indication arid RPV water level indication may not be available in the Refuel mode. Redundant means of RPV water level indication are therefore procedurally installed to assure that the ability to nionitorlevelwill not be interrupted.

The reactor power drop eontinues u.ntil reactor power reaches the point at which the influence of source neutrons on reactor power starts to be observable. Apredictable post-s~ram response from an automatic reactor scram signal should therefore con~ist of a prompt drop in reactor power as sensed by the nuclear instrumentation and a, *. ' '

lowering of power into the source range. A successful scram has therefore occurred when there is sufficient rod insertion ffom the trip . "

SU6.1 Unusual Event (Continued)

Generic The purpose of this EAL is to recognize a loss of communications capability that either defeats the plant operations staff ability to perform.routine tasks necessary for plant operations or the ability to communicate issues with off-site authorities.

The loss of off-site communications ability is expected to be significantly more comprehensive than the condition addressed by 10 CFR 50.72.

TheaVailability of one method of ordinary off..,site communications is sufficient to inform federal, state, an.d localauthorities of plant problems, This EAL is ir:itended to be used only when extraordinary means (for example, 'relaying of information from non-routine radio transmissions, individuals being sent to off-site locations,. and so forth) are being used to make communications possible~

This thre~hold is also a Potential. Loss, of the Containment barrier (PG P-Loss A.1 ). Since SAP entry occurs after core uncovery has occurred, a Loss of the RCS barrier exists (RCS Loss A.1 ). Primary Containment Flooding (SAP entry), therefore, represents a Loss of two barriers and a Potential Loss of a third; which requires a General Emergency classification.

Generic The site specific RPV water level threshold is the same as the RCS barrier Loss threshold A 1 and to corresponds the RPV water level at.the top of the active fuel. Thus, this threshold indicates a Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and a Loss of RCS barrier that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency. This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified iri the site specific E:OPs, that RPV wate{cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier).
