Clinch River Nuclear Site Early Site Permit Application Part 5B, Emergency Plan (2-Mile EPZ)

Appendix A A.1 CLINCH RIVER NUCLEAR SITE AND EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE DESCRIPTION A.1.1 FACILITY AND SITE CHARACTERISTICS A.1.1.1 Nuclear Power Facility The Clinch River Nuclear (CRN) Site is located on the Clinch River Property and is used as the location to construct and operate Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

A.1.1.2 Site Location and Description The CRN Site Property covers an area of approximately 1,200 acres located adjacent to the Clinch River in Roane County, Tennessee. The CRN Site lies north of U.S. Interstate 40, approximately midway between the communities of Harriman and Farragut in the eastern portion of Tennessee.

Site Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) Chapter 2 provides additional information regarding the physical characteristics of the proposed site, including the preliminary site layout and potential hazards in the site vicinity. The Environmental Report provides detailed information addressing land use and other features of the proposed site and surrounding area.

The CRN Site Early Site Permit Application (ESPA) includes an Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) Report, which provides the results of public evacuation analyses conducted in accordance with the guidance provided in NUREG/CR-7002, Criteria for Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies. The analyses reflected in the ETE Report did not identify physical characteristics unique to the proposed site that could pose a significant impediment to the development of emergency plans.

A.1.2 EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONES Section 50.47(c)(2) of 10 CFR 50 establishes two Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) for consideration in nuclear power plant emergency planning. For the CRN Site, the plume exposure pathway (PEP) EPZ encompasses an area approximately 2 miles in radius surrounding the site. The ingestion exposure pathway EPZ encompasses an area that is yet to be determined. TVA intends to address this in the CRN Site Combined License Application (COLA).

In addition to the basic requirements for EPZ radius, development of the EPZs includes consideration of local emergency response needs and capabilities, including considerations of demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional boundaries. Of particular interest in the development of the CRN Site PEP EPZ is the overlapping emergency planning zone for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation.

Figure A.1-1 provides a map of the PEP EPZ for the CRN Site.

Clinch River Nuclear Site Early Site Permit Application Part 5B, Emergency Plan (2-Mile EPZ)

Appendix A A.2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS Part 5B Section 4.2 indicates that recognition of the emergency class is primarily a judgment matter for plant personnel. The initiating conditions (ICs) used for recognizing and declaring the emergency class are based on specific measurable values or observable conditions defined as Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These can be combinations of specific instrument readings (including their rates of change), annunciator warnings, and time periods during which certain conditions exist, etc. CRN Site Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (CRN-EPIPs) provide details regarding instrument readings and parameters required for determination of these EALs.

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) uses these EALs as thresholds for determining the emergency classifications. TVA develops the EALs based on industry guidance, engineering assessments, and insights provided by the reactor plant supplier.
