EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 5 of 33 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for notification of Federal, State and County organizations should a classified emergency provided for in PPM 13.1.1 be declared, upgraded, terminated, or a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) be made or modified. It also provides instruction for notification, acknowledgment, and response actions by Energy Northwest emergency response personnel. {R-1586}, {R-1587}, {R-1588}

{R-1589}, {R1590}

2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 General Initial notification of Washington State and local authorities must be made within 15 minutes following declaration of the emergency event. For Energy Northwest, local authorities are defined as Benton County, Franklin County, Washington State, and the Department of Energy, Richland. Initial notification of the NRC via the Emergency Notification System (ENS) should be made immediately after notification of the appropriate state and local authorities, and must be made not later than one (1) hour after emergency event declaration. Immediate notifications are outlined in Attachment 7.1, Emergency Notification List, Part A - Immediate Notification List. Notification of other offsite agencies is outlined in Attachment 7.3, Emergency Notification List, Part C - Offsite Agency Notification List. {R-5731}

  • Notification of selected non-ERO supervisory staff (Construction and Project Management) is intended to prompt them to notify personnel they are responsible for of an emergency declaration so that appropriate protective action may be initiated for individuals in high noise environments or otherwise out of public address range within the owner controlled area.

Emergency notifications are one of the responsibilities assigned to the designated Emergency Director (ED) and will transfer along with the ED function from the Shift Manager to the TSC Manager or EOF Manager. The ED cannot delegate the decision to notify offsite authorities responsible for offsite emergency measures, but may delegate notification actions to other individuals in accordance with this procedure.

If a Transitory Event is discovered as outlined in PPM 13.1.1, ENS notification to the NRC must be made within one (1) hour of the discovery of the undeclared (or mis-classified) event.

State and county authorities will be notified by Emergency Preparedness.

2.2 Security Considerations 2.2.1 The authority to temporarily suspend affected security measures is given to the Columbia Generating Station Emergency Director.

2.2.2 Affected security measures may be suspended per 10 CFR 50.54(x) and 10CFR50.54(y) in an emergency when this action is immediately needed to protect the public health and safety and no other immediately apparent action, consistent with the Columbia Generating Station license conditions and technical specifications, can provide adequate or equivalent protection. Suspension of security measures must be approved as a minimum by a licensed senior reactor operator before taking this action. {R-20124}

Number: 13.4.1 \ Use Category: REFERENCE Major Rev: 043

Title:

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS 2.2.3 During severe weather, affected security measures may be suspended when Minor Rev: 004 Page: 6 of 33 immediately needed to protect the personal health and safety of security force personnel and no other immediately apparent action consistent with the license conditions and technical specifications can provide adequate or equivalent protection. This suspension of security measures must be approved, as a minimum, by a licensed senior operator, with input from the security supervisor or manager, before taking this action. {R-20125}

2.2.4 The temporary suspension must be approved by the Emergency Director prior to taking the action unless a life-threatening situation exists and there is insufficient time to obtain prior approval. {R-20124}

2.2.5 If security measures are temporarily suspended, the NRC Operations Center should be notified as soon as practicable, and in all cases, within one hour of the occurrence. Upon restoration of security measures, the NRC Operations Center shall be notified as soon as practicable. {R-20127}

2.2.6 Suspended security measures must be restored as soon as practical. {R-20126}

2.3 Precautions and Limitations 2.3.1 State and local authorities are required to receive emergency event notifications within 15 minutes of event classification, a change in event classification, or

  • NOTE:

2.3.2 changes in Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) .

The time of classification entered on the new CNF should be the time of the new classification or Protective Action Recommendation.

If after beginning to fill out a Classification Notification Form (CNF), but before the event is communicated to anyone offsite, event conditions change which make it necessary to reclassify the event or change PARs, discontinue completing the first CNF and begin filling out a new one .. If the hard copy CNF is used, mark the discontinued CNF void and include it with the After Action Report per PPM 13.13.4.

The initial 15 minute notification requirement is not waived and the new CNF must be completed within 15 minutes of declaring the previous classification.

2.3.3 If event conditions change which make it necessary to reclassify the event or change PARs and offsite notifications are in progress, the current 15 minute notification requirement is not waived. Notifications in progress for the lower level classification or PARs must be completed. Inform the offsite agencies on the Crash phone that classification or PARs will be upgraded and another notification will be forthcoming shortly .

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 23 of 33 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION (ERO)

NOTIFICATION AND RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions If the ERO is summoned during freezing or snowy weather, call the Hanford Patrol Operations Center and request that the roads to the plant be cleared or sanded as necessary. Refer to the Emergency Phone Directory for the number.

If an evacuation is necessary beyond the Exclusion Area, contact the Benton and Franklin County Emergency Operations Centers and request that the Benton and Franklin County road supervisors be contacted to assist in determining evacuation risk. Refer to the Emergency Phone Directory for the number.

At Alert or higher emergency classification, on call and Support personnel should report to their assigned emergency centers. Selected ERO personnel may also be instructed to respond at the Unusual Event classification. Security personnel at Energy Northwest roadblocks will direct Plant responders reporting from home to the Health Physics Center (HPC) at the Kootenai Building before going to the Plant if there are hazardous conditions to consider. Otherwise, personnel will report directly to their assigned emergency center.

Emergency centers are required to be activated within about 90 minutes of classification and of notifying the ERO to report. The 90-minute time window starts at the time ERO pagers activate.

On call ERO members must meet Energy Northwest's Fitness for Duty criteria contained in SWP-FFD-01. Personnel should not acknowledge a telephone notification or report to their emergency center unless Fitness for Duty criteria is met.

10 CFR 26 and Energy Northwest procedures, such as SWP-FFD-01, specify that the consumption of alcohol is prohibited for five hours prior to "any scheduled working tour" and "during the period of any scheduled working tour." Abstinence is not specifically required for other periods. For Emergency Preparedness purposes, a scheduled drill/exercise is considered as a scheduled working tour.

Response to an actual event is considered as a call-in situation or unscheduled working tour.

10 CFR 26 and SWP-FFD-01 address alcohol consumption for call-in/unscheduled working tours.

The called-in person(s) must state whether alcohol has been consumed within the preceding five hours, and the Supervisor/Manager must ensure this information is provided. For those reporting for a call-in/unscheduled working tour and not meeting the five hour abstinence period, a determination of fitness must be made (including any necessary controls or conditions such as supervision or monitoring).

During events that would impact the safe operation of CGS, such as a large scale loss or degradation of the electrical grid, and area communications (pagers, cell towers, internet, land line phone systems) are being challenged or are not working, ERO personnel are expected to ensure their family and home are safe then report to their Emergency Response Facility if they cannot contact the plant for additional guidance .

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 24 of 33 Notification Acknowledgement/Response While at work, ERO personnel may be notified of emergency classifications by one of the following:

  • Pager notification
  • Public address (PA) announcements
  • Word of Mouth
  • Telephone message from an automatic dialer Required response to the autodialer is detailed below.

If you receive an ERO notification on your home phone:

  • Follow the scripted directions using a touch tone phone. The auto-dialer cannot recognize a Rotary dial or pulse tone phone.
  • If you miss part of the message, you may call Dial: "9-1-855-896-2903" or "9-1-844-417-8128" (If first number does not work). Otherwise, report directly to your emergency center, or as directed.

ERO Response Expectations NOTE: The following section applies to all Actual Events, Off-hours Drills, and any other ERO related notification real or simulated EXCEPT for regularly scheduled, pre-advertised Day Shift ERO Team Training Drills (for which the drill team has been pre-designated).

Day Shift ERO Team Training Drills are typically held four or more times per calendar year and are listed on the published ERO Team Drill/Exercise Schedule.

IF in doubt about whether the drill is one of the few regularly scheduled, pre-advertised Day Shift ERO Team Training Drills, THEN respond as described below for your ERO category as if it is an actual event.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Essential Category

1. When an ERO Call-out Notification occurs, all available "ESSENTIAL" category personnel Minor Rev: 004 Page: 25 of 33 from all four ERO teams (A, 8, C, and D) should arrive at their emergency centers as soon as possible but within approximately 60 minutes, regardless of which ERO team is the scheduled duty team at the time of the Call-out Notification. All four teams are required to respond to assure that at least one person arrives in time to fill each "ESSENTIAL" category position within about 60 minutes so as to provide the best chance that all emergency centers will be activated within the 90-minute requirement.
2. All ERO personnel in positions classified as "ESSENTIAL" category should report to their emergency centers immediately when paged with either a "222" or "444" code (or to their designated alternate location for Security Contingency codes "191" or "393" when received while off-site. Onsite response to Security Contingency pager codes "191" or "393" is in accordance with the plant PA announcement.) "ESSENTIAL" category members are not expected to call the auto-dialer. "ESSENTIAL" category personnel on all four ERO teams (A, 8, C, and D) will receive contact calls from the auto-dialer soon after the pager notification.

However, "ESSENTIAL" category personnel should not wait for the auto-dialer call or take the time to interact with the auto-dialer unless the auto-dialer's call is their first notification contact.

3. "ESSENTIAL" category members who receive a pager notification with either a "000" (informational message) or "333" (Unusual Event) code should call the auto-dialer and follow

its instructions .

"ESSENTIAL" category members not on-call are not required to remain fit for duty when not on-call. "ESSENTIAL" category members not on-call are expected to carry their pagers with them at all times. However, if an ERO Call-out occurs, all available "ESSENTIAL" category members not on-call are to report if fit for duty.

5. The 90-minute center activation time requirement is measured from the point in time when the pagers are activated, not at the time the event is declared by the Shift Manager.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Augmenting Category

1. All "AUGMENTING" category personnel should call the auto-dialer promptly when paged Minor Rev: 004 Page: 26 of 33 before reporting to preclude the a1,1to-dialer from attempting to fill the position with members from the ERO teams that are not on-call.
2. However, if an "AUGMENTING" category ERO member from a team that is not on-call is contacted by the auto-dialer that means the on-call member in that position has not responded to the auto-dialer and presumably will not respond. In this event, that "AUGMENTING" category team member not on-call is needed to support the on-call ERO team and should respond to the dialer and report to the emergency center if fit for duty.
3. On-call "AUGMENTING" category ERO members who cannot contact the auto-dialer (despite multiple attempts) or who receive notice upon contacting the auto-dialer that their position has already been filled (presumably by an off-duty member) should respond to their assigned location to fill their position during actual events (pager code "444" or "191") or call-out drills (pager code "222" or "393") or when subsequently directed by appropriate ERO authority. This expectation for on-call staff is necessary to maximize team fidelity and establish team rotation sequence, should subsequent shift staffing be needed.
4. "AUGMENTING" category members who are not on-call are not required to remain fit for duty when not on-call. However, if an ERO Call-out occurs, all "AUGMENTING" category members who are contacted by the auto-dialer should report if fit for duty, regardless of whether or not they are on-call.
5. Although a 60-minute response expectation does not apply to "AUGMENTING" category members, all "AUGMENTING" category ERO members responding to a Call-out should report as soon as possible .

Minor Rev: 004 Page: 27 of 33 All "SUPPORT" category personnel should respond to the auto-dialer when called before reporting to preclude the auto-dialer from attempting to fill the position with members from the ERO teams that are not on-call.

2. However, if a "SUPPORT" category ERO member from a team that is not on-call is contacted by the auto-dialer, that means the on-call member in that position has not responded to the auto-dialer and presumably will not respond. In this event, that "SUPPORT" category team member not on-call is needed to support the on-call ERO team and should respond to the dialer and report to the emergency center if fit for duty.
3. On-call "SUPPORT" category ERO members (with a Pager) who cannot contact the auto-dialer (despite multiple attempts) or who receive notice upon contacting the auto-dialer that their position has already been filled (presumably by an off-duty member) should respond to their assigned location to fill their position during actual events (pager code "444" or "191 ") or call-out drills (pager code "222" or "393") or when subsequently directed by appropriate ERO authority. This expectation for on-call staff is necessary to maximize team fidelity and establish team rotation sequence, should subsequent shift staffing be needed.
4. An approximate 60-minute response expectation applies to "SUPPORT" category members from telephonic notification. All "SUPPORT" category ERO members responding to a Call-out Notification should report as soon as possible.
5. "SUPPORT" category members who are not on-call are not required to remain fit for duty when not on-call. However, if an ERO Call-out occurs, all "SUPPORT" category members who are contacted by the auto-dialer should report if fit for duty, regardless of whether or not they are on-call .

1. "ESSENTIAL" category ERO members who are scheduled to participate in the drill should report to their designated drill location without delay. They should not take time to contact the auto-dialer. Prompt arrival is critical to ensure full staffing to activate.
2. "ESSENTIAL" category ERO members who are not participating in the drill should confirm they received a pager code for a training drill (either "222" or "393") or that the plant announcement stated it was for an ERO Drill and await contact by the auto-dialer.

This is done to ensure the notification was not for an actual event and to keep auto-dialer lines open to accept calls from the designated training team.

a. After confirming that the occurrence is a Drill, the non-participating "ESSENTIAL" category ERO members should await contact from the auto-dialer, listen to the call (to confirm it is for the scheduled Drill) and decline the position. This is done to "free up" auto-dialer resources to contact ERO members who are participating in the drill.
b. IF a non-participating "ESSENTIAL" category ERO member is contacted by ERO personnel & asked to respond, THEN they must do so immediately, if fit for duty. This request indicates that the scheduled "ESSENTIAL" category team member is presumed to be unable to respond and the non-scheduled person is needed to report to their designated location to support center activation.
3. Non-scheduled ERO Members will be released upon arrival of and completion of turnover from their counterpart who was scheduled for that drill.
