Rev. 163 B-1 September 2017 Catawba Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Section B -Site Emergency Organization B.

Site Emergency Organization B.1 Plant Staff Under Emergency Conditions Figure B-2 shows the emergency organization of plant staff personnel for all shifts. The relationship of these personnel to their normal responsibilities and duties is unchanged during an emergency condition.

B.2 Emergency Coordinator Initial activities at Catawba during any emergency condition are directed by the Shift Manager from the Control Room. The Shift Manager shall assume the functions of the Emergency Coordinator until the arrival of the Station Manager/designee at which time the Station Manager/designee will assume the functions of the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator will have the authority and the responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions including:

a. Provide protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing off-site emergency measures, implement event classification, notification, and event escalation/de-escalation/termination. THIS AUTHORITY SHALL NOT BE DELEGATED TO OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION.

b. Notification and activation of the Station, Corporate, County/City, South Carolina, North Carolina and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission emergency organizations having a response role.

c. Continued assessment of actual or potential consequences both on-site and off-site throughout the evolution of the emergency condition.

d. Effective implementation of emergency measures in the environs including protective actions for affected areas, implementation of emergency monitoring teams and facilities to evaluate the environmental consequences of the emergency condition, prompt notification and communications with off-site authorities.

e. Continued maintenance of an adequate state of emergency preparedness until the emergency situation has been effectively managed and the station is returned to a normal or safe operating condition.

B.3 EmergencyCoordinator(LineofSuccession)

The Emergency Coordinator functionsas described above in paragraph B.2 will later be assumed by the TSC Emergency Coordinatorand/or the EOF Director at the Emergency Operations Facility as these organizations are staffed and ready to take over its functions.

Rev. 163 B-2 September 2017 This assumption of the Emergency Coordinator functions will take place for the Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency categories.

B.4 Functional Responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator The functional responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator are described in paragraph B.2.

Protective Action recommendations to state and local authorities is initially vested with the Shift Manager/ Emergency Coordinator. As the EmergencyOperations Facility (EOF) becomes operational, the EOF Director is the person who is responsible for making protective action recommendations.

B.5 Minimum Staffing Requirements The positions, title and major tasks to be performed by the persons assignedto the functional areas of emergency activity at the station are described in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Figure B-1(a and b).

The minimum on-shift staffing reflective of two units in operation is as indicated in Figure B-1a. The capability to augment on-shift resources after declaration of an emergency is as indicated in Figure B-1b. The functional tasks to be performed by persons assigned to the areas of emergency activity are as designated in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

A detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in Figure B-1a. See CNS-OSSA-12212012Rev: 0.

B.6 Site Functional Area Interfaces Figures B-5aand B-5bdescribe and specify the interfaces between and among the functional areas of emergency activity, licensee headquarters support, local services support, and state/local government response organizations. Figure B-5ais for use prior to activation of the EOF. Figure B-5bis for use after the EOF is established.

B.7 Augmented Support of Site Emergency Organization Upon declaration of an Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, the EOF organization will be alerted and personnel will report to the EOF as soon as possible. The EOF organization is described in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The Public Affairs organization is described in the implementing procedure for JIC activation. Refer to Section G for the Public Affairs function. Figure B-3 shows the minimum staff required to declare the EOF operational. The EOF will be staffed using 75 minutes as a goal for the minimum staff to be in place and operational.

In addition to the minimum staff shown in Figure B-3, other personnel are expected to report to the EOF to augment the minimum staff. This augmentation would occur gradually and would range from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the proximity of the personnel to the EOF.

Rev. 163 B-3 September 2017 The organization identified in this section is capable of continuous (24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />) operations for a protracted period. The individual responsible for assuring continuity of resources is the EOF Director. Each group

's operational plan is specified in the Emergency Plan or Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

B.8 Contractor, Private, and Government Organizations The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) serves as a clearinghouse for industry wide support during an emergency. When notified of an emergency situation at a nuclear plant, INPO will provide emergency response as requested.

INPO will be able to provide the following emergency support functions:

a. Assistance to the affected utility in locating sources of emergency manpower and equipment.

b. Analysis of the operational aspects of the incident.

c. Dissemination to member utilities of information concerning the incident.

d. Organization of industry experts who could adviseon technical matters.

If requested, one or more suitably qualified members of the INPO staff will report to the EOF Director and will assist in coordinating INPO

's response to the emergency.

The State of South Carolina The response provided by the State of South Carolina to an emergency developing at Oconee, Robinsonor Catawba is described in the South Carolina Operational Radiological Emergency Response Plan. The principal state agency for mobilization of state resources to cope with an emergency isthe Emergency Preparedness Division under the office of the Adjutant General. This agency is supported by the Bureau of Radiological Health, which provides radiological assessment and protection functions, and by other state agencies.

For a Catawba emergency, the State of South Carolina would operate out of the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in West Columbia, South Carolina.

The State of North Carolina The response by the State of North Carolina to an emergency development is described in the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in Support of Catawba Nuclear Site.

The principal state agency for mobilization of State resources to cope with an emergency is the Division of Emergency Management. This agency is supported by the Division of Radiation Protection for radiological assessment and protection functions, and by other State agencies.

Rev. 163 B-4 September 2017 The state organization, when it is mobilized as the State Emergency Response Team (SERT),

becomes the primary response authority. For an emergency at Catawba, the SERT organization is established in the Emergency Operations Center in Raleigh, N.C.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission The response provided by the NRC to an emergency developing at a Duke nuclear station is described in the NRC Region II Emergency Plan. The representative of the NRC who would provide input to the EOF Director is the Region II Regional Administrator/ designee. A workspace and a telephone have been provided in the EOF for this NRC representative.

The role of the NRC in an emergencysituation is to provide oversight and recommendations on licensee actions.

County Governments In an emergency situation at a nuclear station, county governments are immediately notified of the accident. They have the primary responsibility for the protection of the citizens within the county boundaries. The principal Duke Energy contact with county government is through the Emergency Preparedness Director or designee. This contact will be maintained by the TSC until relieved by EOF Off-Site Agency Communicators.

It is recognized that the county council, the chief executive of the county, and mayors of local communities have responsibilities in an emergency situation as well. The Government Agency Liaison on the staff of the Public Information Managerserves as the primary Duke Energy contact with these people.

Risk Management Companies Risk management companies will be notified of emergency conditions by the EOF staff.

Risk Management companies would set up claims payments and other such capabilities at facilities appropriate to the emergency.

Contractors The contractor who may be requested to respond is Westinghouse. Westinghouse will operate from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a small contingent at the plant.
