SEP Page 2.1 Revision # TBD SURRY POWER STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION 2 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY Part Subject Page No.
2.0 Site Specifics 2.2 2.1 Emergency Plan 2.2
SEP Page 2.2 Revision # TBD 2.0 Site Specifics The Surry Power Station consists of two units, each of which include a three loop pressurized light water reactor nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) and turbine generator furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The balance of the station was designed and constructed by the Company with the assistance of its Architect/Engineer (NE) , Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation . Each reactor unit design output is limited to maximum power level stated in the current Operating License.
The units are located in Surry County, Virginia, on a point of land called Gravel Neck, which juts out into the James River from the South. The 840 acre site is located approximately 25 miles NW of Hampton, Virginia; and, approximately 7.0 miles south of Williamsburg, Virginia. Cooling water is obtained from the James River. An Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located on the plant site.
The city of Williamsburg, as well as portions of Surry, Isle of Wight, James City and York counties and the city of Newport News, lie within 10 miles of the station. Newport News, Williamsburg and the counties of James City and York are dominated by growing population centers and large transient tourist trade. The counties of Surry and Isle of Wight, which surround the site on the south side of the James River, are predominately rural and characterized by farmland , wooded land and marshy wet lands. Surry County has the largest agricultural area within the 10 mile zone, covering over 9000 acres of major cropland. Peanuts, corn and soybeans are the principal crops of the area. Two (2) dairy farms are in this zone, located close to Bacon's Castle.
2.1 Emergency Plan The Surry Power Station Emergency Plan describes the organization, facilities, emergency response measures, and functional interfaces with offsite agencies which can be used to respond to a broad range of defined emergencies. The organization has well defined responsibilities and specific authorities which provide for effective control and coordination of the emergency response , both onsite and offsite.
The organization is augmented, as required , to address situations with the most serious potential consequences.
The Plan is formulated for compatibility with existing Local, State, and Federal organizations wh ich have responsibilities to render assistance should the need exist. Coordinating the response effort between the company and offsite agencies supports mutual goals of protecting public health and safety and of minimizing damage to both public and private properties.
The basic purposes of the Plan are as follows :
- 1) To define potential types of emergencies;
- 2) To establish an organization for managing an emergency;
- 3) To provide measures for coping with an emergency;
- 4) To provide facilities from which to perform selected measures;
- 5) To provide for a recovery program following an emergency; and,
- 6) To provide methods for maintaining the Plan active and current.
SEP Page 2.3 Revision # TBD Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) provide instructions for accomplishing the provisions established in the Plan. The procedures guide the classification of the emergency, provide for offsite notifications, and activation of the full response organization. They also provide techniques for estimating the consequences of offsite releases and making recommended Protective Action Recommendations.
The Plan satisfies the emergency plan requirements for the Surry ISFSI under provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 72, Subpart B, Section 32, Subsection (c) .

SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN Part Subject Page No.
3.0 Summary of Emergency Plan 3.2
SEP Page 3.2 Revision # TBD 3.0 Summary of Emergency Plan Types of emergencies are divided into four classifications which cover a broad spectrum of potential occurrences. These classifications range from a "Notification of Unusual Event," in which offsite officials are notified of an unusual condition , through a "General Emergency," in which onsite and offsite evacuation may be required and a major state of emergency exists. This classification scheme is compatible with existing State and local emergency response plans.
An emergency response organization is established with specific duties and responsibilities defined, and points of contact between onsite and offsite supporting agencies designated. Augmentation of the emergency organization will occur at the "Alert" level. Provisions for prompt notification of the State, Local and Federal agencies are established and include transmittal of pre-planned information which may be required for offsite agency response.
Methods and procedures provide corrective and protective actions including evaluation of the operability of the unaffected unit. The use of protective equipment, protective action guides and exposure limits are pre-specified . The facilities available for assessment and management of the emergency consist of onsite and offsite emergency response facilities, communication systems, and portable or fixed equipment for detection and measurement of those parameters causing or resulting from the emergency.
Medical facilities are also available. Provisions are provided for public information activities, including development and issuance of press releases, media briefings, and responding to public inquiries .
A recovery program describes the organization and procedural approach required to re-start the affected unit. The recovery program provides guidance for relaxing protective measures that have been instituted and requires the periodic estimation of total population exposure.
The Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are reviewed annually. The Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC) evaluates the review and may provide additional recommendations as necessary. Periodic drills and exercises involving communications, fire fighting ,
radiological monitoring and Health Physics activities are routinely conducted. A joint exercise involving Federal, State and local response agencies will be held on odd-numbered years at Surry (the even-numbered years being held at North Anna) to ensure all major elements of the Plan are tested within an eight year period. Critiques of each implementation of the Plan allow for critical reviews of technique, methods, and shortcomings. Improvements will be factored into the plan and/or implementing procedures, through revisions .

4.0 Emergency Conditions 4.2 4.1 Spectrum of Postulated Accidents 4.2 4.2 Emergency Classification System 4.3 4.3 State and Local Government Classification System 4.8 4.4 Requirements for Written Summaries of Emergency Events 4.8
SEP Page 4.2 Revision # TBD 4.0 Emergency Conditions The following guidelines describe the criteria used by station personnel in classifying or determining the type of an emergency. The types of potential accidents or emergencies are numerous and vary in magnitude. Accordingly, the classification system is wide-range, although flexible and straight forward. The four classifications are defined in accordance with Appendix 1 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 , "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". The classification system is not intended to include minor deviations during normal operation. Furthermore, it may be discovered that an event or condition, which met the classification criteria, had existed, but that and the basis for the emergency class no longer exists at the time of discovery. For example, the event may have rapidly concluded or been discovered during a post-event review. As discussed in NUREG-1022, "Event Reporting Guidelines : 10 CFR 50. 72 and 50.73" (Revision 1), actual declaration of an emergency class is not necessary in these circumstances, although notification to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is warranted.
4.1 Spectrum of Postulated Accidents The spectrum of emergencies peculiar to nuclear power stations range from accidents with minor implications on health and safety to the postulation of major occurrences resulting in the release of significant quantities of radioactive material. Examples of minor accidents that may occur include small spills of radioactive liquid, unplanned or uncontrolled releases of small amounts of radioactive material, or equipment malfunctions.
Major occurrences, though not expected to take place, have been postulated for planning and design purposes. These events, further described in Surry Power Station UFSAR, Section 14, are as follows :
- a. Major reactor coolant pipe ruptures (LOCA).
- b. Major secondary system pipe rupture (steam line break).
- c. Steam generator tube rupture .
- d. Fuel handling accidents.
- e. Rupture of a control rod drive mechanism housing (rod cluster control assembly ejection) .
Of the accidents listed above and analyzed in the UFSAR , three are considered to release significant amounts of radioactivity. These are the loss of coolant accident, the steam generator tube rupture and the fuel handling accident. The nature of these three accidents is such that a radiological safety analysis can produce results that vary in terms of consequences. This analysis depends on assumptions used concerning such items as the status of primary coolant radioactivity content, meteorological conditions, or performance of station safety systems. The Emergency Plan and implementing procedures are written in anticipation of having to contend with these worst case consequences.
SEP Page 4.3 Revision # TBD 4.2 Emergency Classification System Emergency conditions which may develop will be categorized as one of the following emergency classifications (defined in Section 1 of this plan):
- 1. Notification of Unusual Event.
- 2. Alert.
- 3. Site Area Emergency.
- 4. General Emergency.
The Notification of Unusual Event classification requires notification of appropriate offsite support groups and station management personnel that an abnormal condition exists at the station . The purpose of this notification is to increase the awareness of key offsite support organizations and station management of a condition which can currently be managed by the onsite resources, but which could escalate to a more serious condition. The on-shift operations personnel are assigned response tasks in accordance with the pre-augmentation organization responsibilities defined in Section 5 of this plan.
The Alert classification is indicative of a more serious condition which has the potential for radioactive release . As a result, the emergency response organization is notified to augment onsite resources and activate emergency response facilities .
The Site Area Emergency classification reflects conditions where some significant radiation releases are likely or are occurring, but where a core melt situation is not currently indicated. In this situation, there would be full mobilization in the nearsite environs of monitoring teams and associated communications. A Site Area Emergency can be declared for reasons other than radiological releases.
The General Emergency classification is indicative of actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment, or non-radiological events which could endanger public health and/or safety. Within fifteen minutes of declaring a General Emergency, predetermined protective action recommendations will be made to the State based on plant and meteorological conditions.
Tables 4.1 - 4.4 list the initiating conditions for each emergency classification. The Emergency Action Level Matrix groups these conditions by event category for easy reference and identification. For each condition, specific indications available from instruments and unit operating response are defined in the matrix to confirm that the proper thresholds have been met for declaring a given classification. Once indications are available to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded, the event is promptly assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is declared. This declaration occurs as soon as possible and within 15 minutes of when these indications become available.

SEP Page 5.4 Revision # TBD 5.0 Organizational Control of Emergencies An integral part of this Emergency Plan is to assure that classifications of Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency are consistently made in a timely manner. All employees are instructed to contact the Shift Manager to report any emergency. This notification and information is available to the Shift Manager in the Control Room to enable a timely classification of the emergency and subsequent actions.
The Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor initially acts in the capacity of the Station Emergency Manager and takes actions as outlined in the EPIPs. If required by the emergency classification , or if deemed appropriate by the Station Emergency Manager, emergency response personnel will be notified and instructed to report to their emergency response locations. The Shift Manager is relieved as Station Emergency Manager when the Site Vice President or his designated alternate reports to the station (normally to the Control Room) and is updated as to the status of the emergency. Following this relief, the Station Emergency Manager may relocate to the onsite Technical Support Center (TSC).
The Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC) is activated simultaneously with , but independent of, the TSC. The CERC is staffed by corporate personnel, including the Corporate Response Manager and Technical Support Manager, who direct the activities of this facility. Responsibilities of the Technical Support Manager, once the CERC has been activated, include communicating emergency status to the State and local governments, directing the efforts of the offsite monitoring teams, making radiological assessments, recommending offsite protective measures to the State, and arranging for the dispatch of any special assistance or services requested by the station. The Corporate Response Manager has the ultimate authority to commit company resources and set policy as part of managing the long term recovery effort.
5.1 Normal Station Organization The Site Vice President is ultimately responsible for the operation of the Station . The minimum staff required to conduct Station operation is maintained at the station at all times. For purposes of the Emergency Plan , the onshift manning is assumed to be on back-shift because the normal Station complement of personnel is only present during regular duty hours on scheduled work days.
The basic shift (back-shift) complement of personnel is comprised of Operations, Health Physics, Chemistry, and Security personnel with coverage by Maintenance on designated shifts. In addition, technical/engineering support is available on all shifts from the Shift Technical Advisor (STA). Administrative procedures provide the details of the normal station organization including reporting relationships.
5.2 Emergency Response Organization The first line of control in an emergency at Surry Power Station lies with the onshift personnel. The shift complement is staffed with personnel qualified to take the initial actions necessary to respond to an emergency. The organizational relationship of the on-shift emergency organization prior to augmentation is shown in Figure 5.1. Also , personnel assigned to the Search and Rescue Team , the First Aid Team , and the Fire Brigade may be assigned other functions until their services are required. The capabilities of the assigned onshift personnel are adequate to assess the condition of the affected unit(s) and take initial mitigative actions in accordance with emergency operating procedures including corrective actions
SEP Page 5.5 Revision # TBD necessary to implement procedures consistent with operations personnel training. Additionally onshift personnel make notifications to off-site authorities, and initiate a callout of supplementary emergency response personnel as required. The EPIPs are used procedurally to control these actions.
A detailed analysis of on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions was performed under provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Part IV.A.9. This analysis determined the staff complement listed in the on-shift column of Table 5.1 can adequately perform required emergency response actions in a timely manner until augmenting ERO staff is required to arrive. This analysis considered a spectrum of events, including UFSAR Condition IV events requiring augmented ERO response, a probable aircraft threat, a design basis threat, a fire requiring Control Room evacuation and remote shutdown, a station black out, etc. This staffing analysis is incorporated by reference as a part of this emergency plan .
Should the Station Emergency Manager deem that additional emergency response personnel are needed or the emergency classification is upgraded to Alert or higher, Station Security will commence callout of supplementary emergency response personnel. Table 5.1 represents the minimum number of personnel that are required to augment emergency operations and the estimated response times of these personnel. The composition of the emergency response personnel assigned on shift and those who make up the augmentation crews are consistent with the staffing level goals promulgated by Supplement 1 to NU REG 0737. Sufficient training has been provided for the on-shift personnel to ensure that the response actions needed to bring the affected unit(s) to a stable condition in preparation for the longer term recovery will be taken.
If an emergency occurs on one of the two units, the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor assumes the operational responsibility for the unaffected unit. This allows the other to assume the position of Station Emergency Manager until relieved. Figure 5.2 shows the station emergency organization after full augmentation.
5.2.1 Station Emergency Position and Team Descriptions The Station Emergency Organization, when fully implemented, will consist of at least the positions discussed below. Reporting relationships are as depicted in Figure 5.2.

5.3.2 Vendor and Supplemental Personnel Support Support will be obtained from Stone & Webster (the NE) and Westinghouse (the NSSS vendor) as needed for emergency and recovery operations. Experienced personnel with in-depth expertise in station design, engineering and construction will be obtained to aid in solving critical technical problems.
This support is normally solicited by the Corporate Response Manager or his representative. In the event of an emergency, Westinghouse will be informed of the plant status. In addition, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations can be contacted to provide sources of additional support, if necessary.
In addition , radiological count laboratory resources are available through the Commonwealth to respond to an emergency at the station. These resources include those facilities listed below. Estimated travel times to the station are provided parenthetically:
- 1) University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA (3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />)
- 2) Virginia Department of General Services, Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, Richmond, VA (75 minutes)

- 7) College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA (75 minutes)
If required at the time of the event, additional resources can be obtained through purchase agreements with private institutions. These agreements would not be prepared in advance, but would be negotiated on an as needed basis.
5.3.3 Local Services Support Agreements have been arranged to provide fire fighting , rescue squad, medical and hospital services. Responding rescue squads are trained in the handling, treatment, and transportation of injured personnel.
The Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center (VCUMC) , has developed an emergency plan designed to provide medical care in the case of a radiation emergency. The MCVHNCU Radiation
NOTE: Update of this legacy title is beyond the scope SEP of this license amendment request. Page 5.15 Revision # TBD Emergency Plan supports the company's nuclear power statio s in the case of occupational and/or major accidents, including contaminated personnel. In the event of need for their support, a call ahead to VCUMC will be made to alert them to activate their emergency pl n. A copy of the MCVHNCU Radiation Emergency Plan is maintained on file by the Nuclear Emergency Pre aredness department.
Letters of Agreement in support of the Surry Emergency Pl n will be renegotiated once every 2 years. Copies of current agreements are maintained on file by the uclear Emergency Preparedness department. Negotiation responsibility lies with the Director Nuclear Emergency Preparedness. Letters of Agreement are limited to Federal , State, local and volunteer organizations.
5.4 Coordination with Participating Government Agencies The State organization for response to radiological emergencies is based on normal governmental structures and channels of communication. The Governor, in his role as Director of Emergency Management, directs the response through the State Coordinator of Emergency Management. The State Coordinator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response and the Department of Health provides technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment, protective action, radiological control, and radiological monitoring.
Responsibility for radiological emergency response rests primarily with the elected officials of local governments. As time is a major factor in realizing the benefits of protective action in the event of a radiological emergency, certain of these actions are predetermined and agreed upon by the local governing body and are implemented without delay upon notification of a radiological emergency. An instaphone (dedicated hot-loop system}, continuously monitored by the Operations shift in the Control Room , with extensions available in the TSC and CERC, is used for normal transmission of emergency notifications to these authorities (See Section 7.2.2.5) . Procedures for authentication of an emergency via the use of restricted , unpublished call-back telephone numbers are maintained in State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans should verification be desired. When this notification is received, the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP) is also implemented and the Virginia Department of Health initiates action to assess and evaluate the radiological situation in order to provide guidance and assistance to local governments. After the initial immediate action , subsequent protective actions are made based on the results of the State evaluation of the radiological situation and the company's recommendations. State and Federal agencies provide assistance, as required. Response operations at the State level are coordinated by the Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) .
The State will also provide police support in the event of the activation of this plan. In the event of an emergency, the dispatcher at the State Police Headquarters in Richmond, Virginia may be called. First response would be from police units normally based in the local areas. These would soon be supplemented by additional units dispatched from other parts of the state. The State Police would provide traffic control and additional security.
The local Sheriff's departments of Surry and Isle of Wight counties also respond to this plan. They perform essentially the same functions as the State Police and coordinate their efforts with that organization.
SEP Page 5.16 Revision # TBD The Company also maintains liaison and agreement with local Fire Departments and Rescue Squads that will provide assistance, if requested , by the SEM.
In the event of an emergency, the Station will be in communication with the Directors of Emergency Services in the local communities who have the capability of activating their Emergency Operations Centers.
The Station relies upon Surry and Isle of Wight Counties to provide assistance in the event an evacuation from the site requires a remote assembly point or any services the counties are capable of providing to mitigate any results of the emergency.
The Station relies upon Surry and the Commonwealth of Virginia to coordinate response with other local , state, and federal agencies during a large scale incident, such as a hostile action against the station or a security event. Response agencies will use Incident Command Systems (ICS) guideline in managing large scale incidents.
The Station will also maintain close contact with NRG Headquarters and the Region II Offices in Atlanta. This is an important function to ensure that accurate information and assessment of the emergency are available to the Federal Government. As a result of these communications the NRG can best appraise their response to the emergency. In a like manner, the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge Operations, will provide radiological assistance to the Station in the event of an emergency. The Station will provide the necessary assembly point and information of the emergency. This agency will coordinate all its efforts with the participating Federal, State and local agencies responding to the emergency.
The Station has the responsibility to provide to supporting agencies involved in the recovery of the facility or participating in controlling the emergency the necessary information to permit them to use their resources . In the case of the local communities the Company provides communication , and when needed, training. This training takes the form of participation in drills and exercises by the county and radiological training for members of local volunteer rescue squads and fire departments. Local Police are trained by State agencies. The Company will also arrange drills and exercises on a routine basis to ensure the plan is workable and to gain experience in its implementation. The total effort of all parties involved shall be directed toward minimizing the results of an emergency and working toward the recovery of the facility with the least impact on the population at large.
CERC personnel coordinate support activities with federal and state agencies responding to the emergency and/or recovery. The Corporate Response Manager may also assemble NRG, state, vendor, and/or consultant support at the CERC. Assistance may be sought from other nuclear utilities, if needed. If requested by the State EOG, a Company technical representative will be dispatched to provide technical interpretation or clarification of data transmitted to that office. (This individual's responsibilities do not include making statements to the media.)
5.4.1 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management {DEM)
The State Coordinator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response operations at the State level and performs specific duties as defined in the COVRERP.
SEP Page 5.17 Revision # TBD The State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located in Richmond, Virginia. There are local EOCs in each of the local communities. Additionally, the DEM will send appropriate liaison personnel to the CERC upon activation .
5.4.2 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Health (VDH)
VDH personnel, in coordination with VDEM , provide technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment, protective actions, radiological exposure control, and radiological monitoring .
(Reference COVEOP for more specific information.) Upon either an Alert or higher classification , VDEM will notify VDH's Office of Radiological Health which will then implement its response procedures. Accident assessment personnel , as part of the Radiological Emergency Response Team (RERT) , will operate from the VEOC. VDH also provides advice and assistance, as required, to Local Health Districts which provide primary health services to their respective areas.
5.4.3 Additional State Agency Support Additional State organizations having possible responsibilities in a radiological emergency are listed in COVEOP Hazard-Specific Annex #1 - Radiological Emergency Response. Requests for support services from these organizations will be coordinated through the VEOC by the SEM or the CERC Resource Manager.
5.4.4 Surry County The authority and responsibilities of Surry County presented in the Surry County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) applies to radiolog ical emergencies within the county caused by events at the Surry Power Station. The plan :
- a. Assigns responsibilities to county offices and organizations in radiological emergency response and preparedness.
- b. Sets forth procedures for disseminating warning of radiological emergencies to the citizens of the county.
- c. Specifies response actions for specific emergency classifications.
- d. Delineates the policies and concepts under which the county government will operate in radiological emergency response.
Upon notification from the SEM, the County Sheriff's Office will notify the County Coordinator of Emergency Services, or their representative , who shall :
- a. Check the notification from Surry Power Station
- b. Initiate the key county official's alert system
- c. Initiate public warning procedures, as ordered by appropriate State authority
- d. Commence evacuation of people from the affected area when directed by the appropriate State authority.
The County Coordinator of Emergency Services or their representative will activate and ensure that the EOC is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day.
Once initial notifications are complete, the SEM or Technical Support Manager provides periodic status reports to the County Coordinator of Emergency Services. These reports include any changes in
SEP Page 5.18 Revision # TSO status or emergency classification. The County Sheriff's Office will serve as the local point for communications prior to the establishment of the County EOG.
The County Office of Emergency Services with its EOG is located in the Surry County Government Center. The Surry County Radiological Emergency Response Functional Organization is shown in the Surry County RERP.
5.4.5 James City, Isle of Wight and York Counties, and the Cities of Williamsburg and Newport News The authority and responsibilities of the above counties and cities during a radiological emergency are presented in their respective RERP. The RERPs apply to the radiological emergencies within these locations caused by events at the Surry Power Station . The James City/Williamsburg , Isle of Wight, York and Newport News RERPs are similar to the Surry RERP (as described in Section 5.4.4 above) except for information that is specific to Surry County.
In the event of an emergency of any classification, the SEM will notify all local jurisdictions (Surry County, York County, James City County, Isle of Wight County, Williamsburg City, and Newport News City) and VEOC by using the lnsta-phone loop. If the lnsta-phone is out of service, commercial telephone lines will be used to make the notifications. The above localities have a system to call back to the power station and check the message.
5.4.6 Counties and Cities Within the Fifty Mile Ingestion Pathway Zone The local communities directly involved in the emergency plan are Surry, Isle of Wight, James City, Williamsburg, York and Newport News. They have emergency response functions as previously stated in this section.
The communities within the fifty mile EPZ are listed in Figure 5.5a and depicted in Figure 5.5b. In the event of an emergency, notification of and interaction with these entities is a function of the VEOC.
5.4.7 Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) Operations Plan The FRMAC Operations Plan provides for the coordinated management of Federal technical response activities related to a radiological emergency. Its primary goals include:
Assisting the State and the Federal Coordinating Agency with personnel, equipment, and technical resources , as needed; Collecting offsite environmental radiological data; and, Providing the data and related assessments to involved State agencies and to the Federal Coordinating Agency.
The Department of Energy (DOE) , because of its history and capabilities in radiological monitoring and assessment, was assigned the responsibility to prepare for, establish, and manage the FRMAC. The FRMAC may be activated when a major radiological emergency exists, and the Federal government will respond when a State, other governmental entity with jurisdiction , or a regulated entity requests federal support.
The SEM or Corporate Response Manager may request FRMAC assistance directly or through the NRG (Federal Coordinating Agency) . The Company will provide designated facilities for the NRG (Federal Coordinating Agency) in the CERC. There are three commercial air terminals in close proximity (i.e., within
SEP Page 5.19 Revision # TBD 75 minutes driving time) to Surry Power Station: Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport in Newport News, Virginia; Richmond International Airport (RIC) in Richmond, Virginia; and Norfolk International Airport in Norfolk, Virginia. It is estimated that a FRMAC Advance Party could be expected at the site within 6 to 14 hours1.62037e-4 days <br />0.00389 hours <br />2.314815e-5 weeks <br />5.327e-6 months <br /> following the order to deploy.
Further information concerning objectives and organization is provided in the FRMAC Operations Plan (See Appendix 10.3).

SEP Page 6.2 Revision # TBD 6.0 Emergency Measures Emergency measures provide pre-planned actions, methods, and criteria which guide personnel during the course of an emergency.
The initial response to any emergency condition will be the activation of the Emergency Plan. After activation, the emergency organization that is formulated by activation of the Emergency Plan performs the necessary assessment activities to classify the type of emergency. If the emergency is radiological in nature, the potential consequences of the emergency will be evaluated for the necessary offsite and onsite protective actions to guard the health and safety of the population . If additional assistance is required ,
offsite support will be requested as provided for in Letters of Agreement established with a variety of government agencies and volunteer organizations.
6.1 Activation of the Emergency Plan Each full-time employee of the station is required to be familiar with the provisions of the Emergency Plan . Any employee, upon becoming aware of an emergency condition , shall immediately notify the Shift Manager on duty unless it is apparent that notification has already taken place. Upon such notification or other indication, the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor assumes the responsibilities of the Station Emergency Manager (SEM). The SEM classifies the emergency and proceeds to take appropriate actions and make specific recommendations to offsite agencies.
State and local community officials will be notified within 15 minutes after declaration of an emergency (meaning the emergency classification level has been provided to the Virginia and risk-jurisdiction Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)). The initial information following declaration of any emergency class includes the class of emergency, whether a release is in progress, and any recommended protective measures. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. Figures 6.1 through 6.4 are samples of message forms used for these notifications. Message content was established in coordination with state and local governments. Notifications will be made to the NRC as soon as possible but within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after declaration of an emergency. Initial information is provided to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 50.72 (Immediate notification requirements for operating nuclear power reactors) . Dedicated communicators will be available to provide regular updates to state and local officials approximately every 60 minutes, when conditions change or as otherwise agreed, and to maintain a continuous channel of communications with the NRC.
6.2 Assessment Actions EPIP-1.01 , Emergency Manager Controlling Procedure, is the controlling procedure for categorizing the event and classifying the emergency, while EPIP-4.01 , Radiological Assessment Director Controlling Procedure, provides guidance for conducting dose assessment, source term determination, atmospheric diffusion factor determination, monitoring team activities, personnel monitoring and decontamination, monitoring of onsite facilities , evacuation , respiratory protection, sampling and sample analysis, and use of the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) computer model.
Once the emergency classification has been determined, the appropriate EPIPs are initiated to direct the activation of the required emergency response facilities and call out of designated emergency
SEP Page 6.3 Revision # TBD response personnel. The design of the facilities and data retrieval and monitoring capabilities provide the information needed to make timely assessments and formulate appropriate protective actions.
6.3 Protective Actions The Technical Support Manager or the SEM (if the CERC is not yet activated) is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the State. The State and local governments are responsible for notification of the public and implementation of the appropriate protective measures.
6.3.1 Offsite Criteria for the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)
Dose contribution from key isotopes such as those listed in Table 6.1 are used to calculate offsite doses for comparison to protective action recommendation thresholds.
Protective action recommendations are required to be made to the State within 15 minutes of declaring a General Emergency. Specific initial protective action recommendations tied to plant conditions have been designed to comply with this time requirement. These recommendations are based on Supplement 3 (Guidance for Protective Action Strategies) to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 , "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."
The initial protective action recommendation for any event classified as a General Emergency will be to evacuate a 2 mile radius and 5 miles in the downwind sectors unless severe accident conditions exist, an evacuation dose threshold is exceeded beyond 2 miles or sheltering-in-place is appropriate.
Sheltering-in-place may be appropriate when known conditions make evacuation dangerous, such as a hostile action based event. Follow-up protective action recommendations that the station may make to the state will be based on current meteorological data such as wind direction, wind speed and stability class, and dose projections. Also , consistent with the Commonwealth of Virginia's strategies for supplementing these protective actions with use of potassium iodide (Kl) by the general public as a prophylactic, recommendations will be made for implementing these strategies.
A Site Area Emergency will be declared when offsite doses are projected to exceed 0.1 Rem TEDE or 0.5 Rem Thyroid CDE. A General Emergency will be declared when offsite Protective Action Guides (PAGs) of 1.0 Rem TEDE or 5.0 Rem Thyroid COE are likely to be exceeded due to a direct radiation or inhalation hazard, or when non-radiological conditions exceed General Emergency EALs.
Warnings to the public within the 10-mile EPZ (Figure 6.5) will be the responsibility of State and local officials who will be assisted by the Virginia Department of State Police upon request. The primary method of warning the public is by the use of the Early Warning System sirens. Route alerting provides backup alert and notification capability (reference 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, paragraph IV.D.4). Other warning methods may include telephone communications, television and radio Emergency Alert System stations, public address systems, bull horns from patrol cars and personal contact. Special facilities are notified by the DEM.
It is estimated that the primary sector and the two buffer sectors (spanning 67 1/2°) can be alerted of the emergency within 15 minutes using the Early Warning System .
SEP Page 6.4 Revision # TBD Evacuation zones, routes, and relocation centers have been established in the event that an evacuation is recommended. This information is published in brochures and distributed by the State.
Population distribution and evacuation time estimates are maintained on file by the Nuclear Emergency Preparedness Department and are summarized in Tables 6.2 and 6.3.
Written preplanned messages intended for transmittal to the public via radio and television stations will be consistent with the classification scheme. They will be released to the media by the State Coordinator of Emergency Management or Local Coordinator of Emergency Services representative (or designee) . The messages will give instruction with regard to specific actions to be taken by the occupants of the inhabited area. The messages will, as appropriate, give instruction on the aspects of sheltering, thyroid blocking, evacuation, the nature of the emergency, and recommended protective actions. The local governments are charged by COVEOP with the responsibility to conduct information programs to educate their citizens on :
- 1. Radiological hazards,
- 2. Procedures for notification of a radiological emergency;
- 3. Evacuation routes and assembly points ; and,
- 4. Other protective measures.
The COVEOP identifies the methods to be utilized in preventing or minimizing direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces.
Upon notification of a radiological emergency within the state which may affect livestock, crops, or farmlands , the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will institute a program to assess the impact upon the agriculture community. Members of the department will take samples of milk from dairy cattle in the affected area for analysis and will monitor soil, crops and farm equipment for contamination .
Samples will be taken at localities where radiation levels exceed 0.05 mR/hr at one inch. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will supply uncontaminated feed for dairy cattle and livestock removed from contaminated farmland. The ingestion pathway is monitored within an approximate 50-mile radius of the station .
Follow-up action includes the disposition of radiologically contaminated materials. The local government(s) has the prime responsibility of affected area ingress and egress. Assistance from the State Police shall be supplied as requested by local officials.
Waller Mill , Harwood Mill , Bethel and Newport News Reservoirs supply water for the Williamsburg, Newport News and Hampton areas. The respective local public health departments are the primary health response agencies for monitoring water supplies, with assistance given by the Virginia Department of Health. There are no withdrawals of James River water for public or private water supplies within Surry, James City, Isle of Wight, and York counties and the cities of Williamsburg and Newport News. Most of Surry County and Isle of Wight County water supplies come from wells.
Criteria for determining an exposure value that would allow relaxation of protective actions within any or all of the 10-mile EPZ falls under the provisions of the COVEOP. Assistance will be provided as required in this regard.
SEP Page 6.5 Revision # TBD 6.3.2 Onsite Criteria for the Site Boundary The area within 1650 feet of Surry Unit 1 is defined as the Site Boundary for the purposes of this Plan . Company employees, supplemental personnel, and occasional visitors at the site may be in the Site Boundary. The immediate area surrounding the units which has been enclosed by a security fence is defined as the Protected Area. The Station Emergency Manager is responsible for making the decision to evacuate the Protected Area, and will take appropriate measures in cooperation with state and local agencies for evacuation of persons in the Site Boundary and those members of the public who may be passing through the site or within Company property. The company will also commit Company personnel and appropriate equipment (search lights, power amplified loudspeakers) to clear the Site Boundary when required.
Visitors to the Protected Area of the station are under continuous escort by personnel knowledgeable in emergency personnel accountability procedures. Supplemental personnel are also trained in personnel accountability procedures.
Onsite personnel will be immediately notified of an emergency that is initially classified as an Alert or higher event, unless doing so poses a threat to personnel safety. For example, hurricane force winds, a tornado, or a security breach may dictate suspension or deferral of assembly, accountability and/or initiation of facility staffing . However, these activities would be implemented as quickly as achievable given the specific situation . Station procedures provide for a range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action and ensure continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform emergency plan functions.
Normally, alarms will be sounded and announcements will be made to conduct personnel accountability or, if necessary, a site evacuation of non-essential workers. Those individuals within the Site Boundary will be alerted by station personnel and Security. In the event of an evacuation, radiation monitoring teams will be dispatched to the appropriate Remote Assembly Area.
The Station has the capability to conduct personnel accountability for individuals inside the Protected Area within approximately 30 minutes. After accountability is completed, an evaluation is made and search teams may be dispatched to locate any individual noted as missing or unaccounted.
Additionally, Emergency Assembly Areas have been established outside the Protected Area to facilitate the dissemination of information to personnel.
If onsite evacuation is to occur, Security collects only the security key cards , not the dosimetry, of all personnel leaving the Protected Area. Continuous accountability of personnel in the Protected Area not evacuating the site shall be maintained throughout the emergency. Evacuees, who may use personal vehicles, proceed to either the primary or secondary remote assembly area (See Figure 6.6) . Station evacuees will be surveyed for contamination following events involving a radiological release , and decontaminated, if necessary, prior to being released from the remote assembly area. Decontamination agents and supplies are available at the station which can be transported to the remote assembly areas to provide decontamination capabilities.
SEP Page 6.6 Revision # TBD 6.3.3 Use of Onsite Protective Equipment and Supplies 6.3.3.1 Respiratory Protection The company has a comprehensive respiratory protection program at its nuclear stations. VPAP 2101 , "Radiation Protection Plan", establishes the Respiratory Protection Program which is implemented by HP procedures. Those individuals likely to wear respirators are given a pulmonary examination and training on respiratory protection including a practical examination. A "fit test" is given before an individual is allowed to enter an area requiring respiratory protection.
6.3.3.2 Protective Clothing The station maintains an adequate inventory of protective clothing in the Clean Change Room .
Contaminated clothing is washed at the station and reissued provided contamination is below established radiation criteria. A Radiation Work Permit system is utilized whereby HP establishes personnel protective clothing and equipment criteria. Such clothing may consist of cotton coveralls, hoods, cotton glove inserts, rubber gloves, plastic shoe covers, rubber shoe covers and rubber boots. Station personnel are given training on how to don and remove protective clothing so as to minimize personal contamination or introduction of contamination into adjacent areas .
6.3.3.3 Thyroid Blocking Agent The process for administering a thyroid blocking agent for a potential radioiodine inhalation situation was authorized by the company's employee health services staff in consultation with its medical support staff.
6.4 Aid to Affected Personnel The Company has made arrangements with the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, to provide medical assistance to personnel injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive material.
VCUMC has developed its own plan for responding to the emergency. VCUMC's plan establishes a specialized area of the hospital for treatment with appropriate Health Physics functions , and implements a coded system to alert hospital team members. Radiation monitoring equipment, dosimetry, and protective clothing are available at VCUMC.
The station will provide and distribute self-reading and cumulative type dosimeters to all personnel involved in emergency onsite response , regardless of their affiliation with the Company, in accordance with procedures established for this purpose. The station shall have this capability on a 24-hour basis. Dose records shall be maintained and checked throughout the emergency.
6.4.1 Emergency Exposure Limits Emergency response personnel may, because of necessity, receive once-in-a-lifetime exposure to contamination and radiation up to the 10CFR20 annual limits, not including accumulated occupational exposure. Approval from the Station Emergency Manager is necessary for planned exposures greater than the 10CFR20 annual limits. Under limited circumstances, exposure levels greater than 5 times the 10CFR20 annual limits are allowed, but only on a voluntary basis to persons fully aware of the risks involved. Selection criteria for volunteer emergency workers includes consideration of those who are in good physical health , are familiar with the consequences of emergency exposure, and are not declared
SEP Page 6.7 Revision # TBD pregnant adults. It is preferable, though not mandatory, that volunteers be older than 45 years of age and not be a female capable of reproduction .
Emergency exposure may be authorized for such needs as removal of injured personnel, undertaking corrective actions, performing assessment actions, providing first-aid, performing personnel decontamination, providing ambulance service, providing medical treatment, etc. Guidelines for emergency exposure limits, including life saving actions, are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Life Saving Activity Protective Action Guides.
6.4.2 First Aid and Decontamination The station has a First Aid Facility that contains the normal complement of first aid supplies and equipment necessary to treat those injuries not involving hospitalization or professional medical services.
At least two First Aid Team members are trained, certified, and available to respond to personnel injuries onsite.
In addition , the following Medical facilities and services are available :
- 1. Company nurse available on a part-time basis
- 2. Company Ambulance
- 3. Company designated physicians in the area
- 4. Local Rescue Squads
- 5. Medical College of Virginia Actions are required to be taken when levels of radioactive contamination for workers, equipment or areas exceed 1,000 dpm / 100 square centimeters of removable contamination . Any detected personnel contamination will initiate appropriate evaluation and decontamination .
The Station controls access for onsite contamination and the return of these areas and their contents to normal use.
No food supplies are grown on the site and the water supplies come from deep wells . Areas designated permissible for employees to eat and drink during the emergency and recovery phases of operations are monitored for contamination .
If onsite personnel are required to relocate or routinely leave the site during an emergency, the station will provide adequate supplies for personnel decontamination, clothing and means to provide for decontamination of the clothing. If contamination of the skin is determined, provisions will be made to provide for decontamination.
Monitoring of vehicles and personnel will be performed at the Remote Assembly Areas (RAA).
Should decontamination of vehicles or personnel be warranted, Health Physics personnel can perform the task at the station , the RAA, or if necessary, at Surry County High School.
Security personnel may patrol the land area to ensure eviction of unauthorized personnel. Since the station's drinking water supply is from deep wells, there is no agricultural production in this area, and there are no milk cows in this area, contamination control methods affecting these are unnecessary. The area may be returned to a status not requiring evacuation when projected doses to the majority of non-
SEP Page 6.8 Revision # TBD essential workers is expected to be less than 1 Rem TEDE, less than 5 Rem Thyroid COE, and less than 2
1000 dpm/100 cm Beta-Gamma contamination.
6.4.3 Medical Transportation A Station ambulance is available to transport contaminated injured personnel. Contaminated injured personnel will be suitably clothed or prepared to prevent the spread of contamination in the transporting vehicle. Communication can be maintained with VCUMC from the station. The station can also communicate with the ambulance by use of a UHF radio, and the ambulance can communicate with VCUMC by way of the HEAR system. In addition arrangements have been made with local volunteer rescue squads to transport injured contaminated personnel to VCUMC. Response team members have received training concerning transportation of contaminated injured individuals. A Health Physics technician, with appropriate instrumentation, would normally accompany contaminated injured personnel to VCUMC. The approximate time to transport a patient to VCUMC is 75 minutes. The estimated time local rescue squads to arrive at the station is 30 minutes.
6.4.4 Medical Treatment The MCVHNCU-Dominion Power Radiation Emergency Plan, maintained on file by the Nuclear Emergency Preparedness department, provides guidance for the treatment of contaminated injured personnel by qualified individuals. The Radiation Emergency Plan includes provisions to request assistance from other facilities having the capability to receive and treat injured and/or contaminated individuals. In the event that facilities at VCUMC Hospital become over-extended, VCUMC may coordinate further assistance with these facilities directly or through the Virginia Department of Health.
6.5 Offsite Support In addition to the offsite agencies listed above, volunteer fire departments in the counties of Surry and Isle of Wight have agreed to assist in fighting fires. A list of services and equipment is included in the Letters of Agreement referenced in Appendix 10.1.
The time of response of volunteer fire departments from Surry and Smithfield, Virginia varies from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, unless adverse weather conditions prevail.
Police support for an emergency is provided by state and local governments, as detailed in the respective Emergency Plans.

and the Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC) . These facilities were designed to meet the intent of the guidance in NUREG-0696 and the clarification in NUREG-0737 Supplement 1. In addition, a Joint Information Center (JIC) and a Local Media Center (LMC) are required for the implementation of the Emergency Plan. A description of each is given below.
7.1 Emergency Response Facilities 7.1.1 Control Room The Control Room of the affected unit(s) shall be the initial location for command and control of the emergency response effort. Controls and instrumentation needed to diagnose plant conditions and to take immediate actions to place the affected unit(s) in a safe condition are available in the Control Room . Within the Control Room , the Station Emergency Manager has access to the information needed to classify the emergency. Redundant communications systems are also available in the Control Room to make the required onsite and offsite notifications. The Control Room has the required shielding and ventilation system to remain habitable during the emergency. Access to the Control Room shall be limited to these individuals responsible for carrying out assigned emergency response tasks plus other technical advisors, as necessary.
7.1.2 Operational Support Center The Operational Support Center (OSC), located in the Work Control Center, is the designated reporting location for the pool of workers who compose Damage Control Teams, the Fire Brigade, the First Aid Team , and the Search and Rescue Team . Station Operations personnel not required for Control Room operation may also assemble at the OSC unless already performing an emergency function outside the Control Room (or otherwise instructed by the Shift Manager/SEM). In the event that the primary facility is unavailable; an Alternate OSC has been designated in the Maintenance Building .
7.1.3 Technical Support Center The TSC is located adjacent to Unit 1 Control Room , and its alternate location is the Control Room .
Emergency response personnel will assemble at the primary TSC unless otherwise instructed by the SEM.
The primary location contains controlled copies of selected manuals, procedures, drawings, and other documents as designated by Nuclear Records Department directives. Information about plant conditions is available via real time data displays from the Plant Computer System (PCS). Dedicated phone line communications have also been established with the Control Room to keep TSC personnel knowledgeable on current operating evolutions and to provide consultation and recommendations to the Control Room staff.
The construction of the facility walls and design of the ventilation system are such that the whole body and thyroid doses received by occupants of the TSC are below General Design Criteria limits.
Radiation monitoring equipment for making airborne particulate and direct radiation measurements is installed in the TSC. The TSC houses the Plant Computer System Data Communications Processors.
Inputs from plant sensors are processed by these units and the information is transmitted to facilities
SEP Page 7.4 Revision # TBD including the Control Room and CERC for display on video terminals. Refer to Section 7.3.4, Plant Process Parameter Monitoring , for a description of the PCS.
7.1.4 Corporate Emergency Response Center The CERC is the consolidated emergency operations facility (EOF) for Surry Power Station and North Anna Power Station. The CERC is located at the Innsbrook Technical Center in Glen Allen , Virginia.
The facility provides work stations for Corporate, Federal and State officials who may be assembled at this location. This facility is the designated central collection point for the receipt and analysis of all field monitoring data and the coordination of sample media. Plant data is available from the PCS. The Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) is used to estimate offsite doses.
7.1.5 Joint Information Center and Local Media Center Official company statements to the media will be made from Joint Information Center (JIG) by the Chief Technical Spokesperson. The JIG is located at the Virginia State Police Administrative Headquarters in Chesterfield, Virginia. These company statements are prepared at the CERC.
A Local Media Center (LMC) may be activated as an adjunct to the JIG. The LMC for Surry Power Station is located on Route 650 on company property. The facility is designated as the Surry Nuclear Information Center in normal operation. There are dedicated rooms for Dominion, NRG, FEMA, State, and media representatives as well as an auditorium that will accommodate 200 people.
Provisions have been made to accommodate TV cameras, copying machines, typewriters, and other equipment needed for press conferences. Should the LMC become uninhabitable, small groups of the media, no more than 20, can be accommodated in the CERC with the approval of the Corporate Response Manager.
7.1.6 Alternate Facility When Under Threat or Experiencing Hostile Action The Surry County Administration Building functions as a staging area for augmentation of emergency response staff if the site is under threat of or experiencing hostile action . This location has the capability to communicate with the CERC, control room , and plant security. The CERC has the capability to perform offsite notifications. The staff at the staging area, working with CERC organization, provides capability for engineering assessment activities, including damage control team planning and preparation .
7.1.7 Near-Site Location For Offsite Agency Coordination The Surry Nuclear Information Center is the location for the NRG and other offsite agency staff to interact face-to-face with emergency response personnel entering and leaving the nuclear power reactor site. This area provides a conference area with whiteboards, separate areas suitable for briefing and debriefing response personnel, telephones, site contact lists , computers with internet access, access to a copier and office supplies, and access to plant radiological information. These provisions exist because the CERC is located more than 25 miles from the TSC.
7.2 Communications Systems The station communications system is designed to provide redundant means to communicate with all essential areas of the station associated with Surry Units 1 and 2 and to essential locations remote from the station during normal operation and under accident conditions. Communication systems vital to Units 1
SEP Page 7.5 Revision # TBD and 2 operation and safety are designed so that failure of one component would not impair the reliability of the total communications system . This is accomplished within the station by use of diverse systems and designated personnel.
7.2.1 Communications Systems Within the Station The systems which provide for communications within the station are discussed below.
7.2.1.1 Public Address and Intercom System A five channel public address and intercom system (Gai-Tronics System) is installed in the station.
The system power, inside the Power block, is supplied from a power supply which will maintain the system in an operational condition in the event of a normal station service power failure. Zones are provided within the station to ensure operability of a major portion of the system should equipment in a zone become inoperative. Loudspeaker and paging phone stations are located throughout the station. The coverage of the loudspeakers permits broadcasts to be heard throughout the station. A visual indicator has been installed in those areas where evaluation of NRG Bulletin 79-18, Audibility Problems Encountered on Evacuation of Personnel from High-Noise Areas, identified noise levels which might exceed the volume of the loudspeakers. A Public Address system , capable of maintaining an operational condition in the event of a loss of station service power, is installed to supplement the originally installed system outside the Power Block, but within the Owner Controlled Area. In the event of an emergency, the systems are used to alert station personnel of any emergency situation and to direct emergency response actions required of on-site personnel.
7.2.1.2 Radio Communications System (Onsite)
An Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) two-way radio trunking system is provided at the Station consisting of base stations/repeaters , mobile units installed in emergency vehicles , and hand-held portable radios .
The radio trunking system provides system redundancy and independent emergency backup equipment for designated station functions .
7.2.1.3 Private Branch Telephone Exchange (PBX)
The PBX system provides switched local and trunked telephone service. The PBX switching equipment is physically located within the Protected Area and is connected to a commercial telephone exchange in Smithfield, Virginia.
7.2.1.4 Sound Powered Telephone System A sound powered telephone communications system is installed which serves Surry Units 1 and 2.
This system is a multiple channel system connecting selected operating areas of the plant. Headsets consisting of an earphone and microphone are connected to a two wire channel for direct communication between persons in different areas. Operation of this system is not dependent on the availability of the electrical power system . During an emergency, the system would provide an alternate means of relaying messages.
7.2.2 Offsite Communications Systems Those systems provided for communication between the Station and offsite are described below and depicted in Figures 7.3 and 7.4.
NOTE: Correction of EWS transmitter location is SEP beyond the scope of thi s license amendment Page 7.6 request. Revision # TBD 7.2.2.1 Commercial Telephone between the Station and a commercial telephone exchange in Sm ithfield, Virgi 1a. These lines are connected into the Station PBX. In addition, lines are s between the Station and the commercial telephone network independent of the PBX system .
T ring provides Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity, voice/Automatic Ring Down (ARD) phone nd radio control circuits between station emergency response facilities and the CERC, and wealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC) . The Virginia EOC is linked to the SONET ing via a dedicated microwave facility. The SONET ring and associated microwave facility provi the communication link from the VEOC to the Early Warning System (EWS) transmitter located at North Anna. The SONET ring and associated microwave facility are DC powered with either battery back up or generator back up at each location for extended operation upon loss of AC power.
7.2.2.3 Radio Communications System (Offsite)
The same UHF two-way radio trunking system that provides onsite communications also provides for communications within a ten mile radius of the Station. During an emergency, this system will allow direct contact with Radiation Monitoring Teams, Security vehicles, and a separate channel (Talk Group) between the Security Central Alarm Station and the Surry County Sheriff's Department.
7.2.2.4 Dedicated NRC Communications Separate commercial telephone lines are dedicated to the NRC and include the following :
Emergency Notification System (ENS) : The ENS is the system on which initial notifications, as well as ongoing information about plant systems, status and parameters, are provided to the NRC. ENS lines are located in the Control Room , TSC and CERC.
- Health Physics Network (HPN) : Provides for communications regarding radiological and meteorological conditions, assessments, trends, and protective measures. HPN lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
Reactor Safety Counterpart Link (RSCL) : Allows for internal NRC discussions regarding plant and equipment conditions. RSCL lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
Protective Measures Counterpart Link (PMCL): Allows for the conduct of internal NRG discussions on radiological releases, meteorological conditions, and protective measures. PMCL lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
Emergency Response Data System (EROS) : Allows for transmittal of reactor parametric data from the site to the NRG. Plant data will be transmitted to the NRG Operations Center, via modem , from the PCS.
- Manage nt Counterpart Link (MCL) : This system has been established for internal discussions between the N xecutive Team Director/members and the NRG Director of Site Operations or L lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
NOTE: Replacement of references to a modem with a virtual private network is beyond the scope of this license amendment request.
- Local Area Network (LAN) Access: Provides access to the NRG local area network. Telephone jacks are provided in the TSC and CERC for NRG LAN access.
7.2.2.5 lnstaphone Loop An lnstaphone Loop permits simultaneous telephone-speaker communications from the station to the counties of Surry, Isle of Wight, James City and York; cities of Williamsburg and Newport News, and the VEOC on a 24-hour per day basis. This loop can be activated at the station from the Control Room , TSC, or CERC.
7.2.3 Communication System Reliability A failure of one communication system will not affect the operation of other communication systems at the Station. The communication systems within the Station have diverse power supplies. The public address system has an emergency backup, and the sound powered phone system does not rely on any Station power system. Since the onsite communication systems normally will be in use, or periodically tested, equipment failure will not go unnoticed. The multiplicity of onsite communications networks ensures the availability of adequate communications. Equipment for these systems is located in different areas of the Station thus ensuring that an accident in one area of the Station would not incapacitate all communication systems. Failure of normal power supplies will not deprive the station of offsite communication capability since, in most cases, backup power is provided. Dedicated telephone lines are checked according to specified schedules.
7.2.4 Emergency Response Facility Communications The communication systems discussed above are used extensively in the emergency response facilities. A summary of the types of communications is provided in Table 7.1.
7.2.5 Communications Responsibilities 7.2.5.1 Station Emergency Manager The SEM has the responsibility for communicating with the VEOC ; Surry, Isle of Wight, York and James City counties; and the cities of Williamsburg and Newport News. All of these agencies/jurisdictions provide 24-hour dispatcher coverage. Upon activation of the CERC , the Technical Support Manager is responsible for notifying State and local governments of emergency status.
7.2.5.2 State and Local Entities Contiguous to the 10-Mile EPZ While the licensee is responsible for notifying political entities within the 10-mile EPZ, the VEOC notifies those political jurisdictions outside the 10-mile EPZ but within the 50-mile zone.
7.2.5.3 Federal Response The SEM or Technical Support Manager is responsible for communications with Federal emergency response organizations. Initial NRG notification is made to the NRG Headquarters Operations Center in accordance with approved procedures designed for this purpose. The Technical Support Manager may also contact DOE, either directly or through the NRG (Federal Coordinating Agency) , and request FRMAC activation. Other Federal agencies are normally contacted by VDEM.
SEP Page 7.8 Revision # TBD 7 .2.5.4 Local Emergency Facilities The SEM is responsible for ensuring communications are established from the TSC to the OSC and CERC, as appropriate. Communications shall also be maintained by field monitoring teams using two-way radios or alternative methods such as cellular telephones. This information will be provided to the TSC and/or CERC, depending on that facility responsible for team command and control at the time.
7.2.5.5 Emergency Personnel The SEM shall implement EPIP-1 .01 , Emergency Manager Controlling Procedure, which will ensure the rapid activation of emergency response organization to deal with the emergency if the station requires such action.
7.2.5.6 Communications with Corporate Emergency Response Center In the event that the severity of the emergency requires CERC activation, the Resource Manager is responsible for ensuring availability and operability of communications between the CERC and the TSC.
7.3 Assessment Facilities Available Onsite A number of instrumentation and monitoring systems are available onsite for emergency assessments. These systems are described below.
7.3.1 Seismic Monitoring The Seismic Monitoring System is designed to detect the occurrence of an earthquake at the Surry site , to alert the Control Room via panel indications and annunciation, and to provide records of the intensity, duration , and frequency of the earthquake.
7.3.2 Radiological Monitoring The installed Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) consists of process monitors and area monitors which read out and record in the Control Room. The process system continuously monitors selected lines for radioactive effluents. The system's function is to warn personnel of increasing radiation levels, to give early warning of a system malfunction , and to record and control discharges of radioactive liquids and gases to the environment.
High range process monitors are installed to provide accurate indication of plant releases during and following an accident. The flow paths monitored include the ventilation vents, the process vent (part of the Gaseous Waste System) , the main steam lines, and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump exhaust. High range area monitors, located inside the containments, are installed to provide additional information on core integrity during and after a design basis accident.
In addition to the fixed radiation monitoring equipment, portable radiation monitoring equipment would be used to perform dose assessments. The equipment consists of low and high range instruments to measure gamma, alpha, beta, and neutron radiation . This equipment is maintained by the Radiological Protection Department and is used on a routine basis. Portable gamma detection instruments are also dedicated for emergency kit use (See Appendix 10.7). The kits are set aside solely for emergency use and are inventoried and checked for calibration and operability on a quarterly basis.
Portable equipment is also available to take low or high volume air samples. Battery operated air samplers can be used to collect low volume samples either onsite or offsite. Silver Zeolite cartridges would
SEP Page 7.9 Revision # TBD be used for sampling radioiodine with a minimum detectable activity capability of 5X10-8 microcuries per cc.
Silver Zeolite has a low retention efficiency for Xenon and therefore, interference should be minimal. Plastic bags and bottles are available to collect water, soil, foodstuffs or other samples.
EPIPs provide the methodology for determining the magnitude of a release by three separate and independent methods : (1) using data or samples continuously obtained by the onsite Radiation Monitoring System, (2) using known inventory data for the system(s) affected, and (3) obtaining offsite data from air samplers or dosimeters which are continuously in place, or taking radiation surveys and appropriate samples, and using this data to calculate releases .
Equipment designated for use in environmental surveillance such as air samplers and theromoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) is used to obtain offsite data. The radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling devices used by the station meet the minimum requirements of the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position for Environmental Radiological Monitoring Programs.
Two TLDs have been placed in each of the accessible sectors within an approximate 5 mile radius of the station for environmental monitoring. Further details can be found in VPAP-21038, "Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (Surry)". The State also has TLD monitoring points located around the Station used for verification purposes. Dosimetry and air sampler locations within the 10 mile EPZ are shown on Figures 7.1 and 7.2.
Surry maintains fixed laboratory equipment to support sampling analysis and monitoring. The equipment includes Multichannel Analyzers and whole body counters; arrangements are maintained for reading TLDs.
7.3.3 Meteorological Monitoring The station's Meteorological Monitoring System provides the capability for predicting atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion. The system consists of a primary and a backup tower, the locations of which were chosen so as to be representative of regional conditions. Instruments located at these towers will provide data to MIDAS via the PCS. The data is also transmitted to the Control Room and to the company's Weather Center. Table 7.2 provides a listing of the parameters measured.
The meteorological equipment was originally designed to meet the criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.23, "On Site Meteorological Programs", dated February 1972. Subsequent modifications have referenced later guidance where applicable.
7.3.4 Plant Process Parameter Monitoring Installed in the Control Room are the necessary instrumentation readouts to assess station status under all conditions. Information is available from meter displays, chart recorders, annunciators, and the plant process computers to assist the operator in contending with accident conditions.
The Plant Computer System (PCS) was installed in order to support the data acquisitions need of the emergency response facilities . The PCS will provide plant monitoring, data acquisition, and critical plant data in the form of real-time status displays for the purpose of making a rapid evaluation of the reactor plant's safety status. PCS monitors are strategically located in areas including the Control Room, TSC, and CERC. The PCS includes the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) , Emergency Response Guidelines
SEP Page 7.10 Revision # TBD (ERGs), process and instrument displays, and pressure-temperature plant displays. Monitor displays are continuously updated by the computer system as they collect and process parametric data from the various plant sensors. The PCS will process inputs from plant sensors and distribute information to the Control Room and TSC. Secure links on the station LAN and corporate Wide Area Network (WAN) will provide data to designated LAN/WAN-connected PCs, which have the appropriate software and security level for access, including the CERC.
7.3.5 Fire Detection The Station's Fire Protection System is designed to furnish water and other extinguishing agents with the capability of extinguishing any single or probable combination of simultaneous fires that might occur. Smoke and heat detectors are utilized for fire detection resulting in automatic fire suppression initiation and/or alarming. These systems are designed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association.
7.3.6 Post Accident Sampling A contingency plan, controlled by normal Chemistry procedures, has been developed for obtaining and analyzing highly radioactive samples of reactor coolant, containment sump, and containment atmosphere. (Reference NRC Letter,

Where appropriate, calibration and inventory are conducted in accordance with station procedures.
Equipment and supplies will be transferred to the OSC as needed.
7.6 Early Warning System Prompt alerting and notification of the population within the 10-Mile EPZ is accomplished using the Early Warning System (EWS). The EWS consists of sirens installed and maintained by the Company, route alerting utilizing State and local emergency vehicles, institutional alerting initiated by State and local governments, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and personal notifications. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has determined that the alert and notification system installed around the Surry Power Station satisfies the requirements of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 , Revision 1, and FEMA-REP-10.
The purposes of the system are: 1) to allow initial notification to the residents of 10-Mile EPZ within 15 minutes of the time that State and local officials are notified that a situation exists requiring urgent actions, 2) to ensure that essentially 100% of population within 5 miles from the site can be alerted within this time, and 3) to ensure that essentially 100% of the population from 5 to 10 miles from the site can be alerted within 45 minutes from this time.
The State and local governments bear the ultimate responsibility for warning the public. Should it be necessary, State and local authorities will alert the public within the 10-Mile EPZ using alternative methods (reference COVEOP Hazard-Specific Annex #1 - Radiological Emergency Response) . Members of the public within the 10-Mile EPZ shall be informed of what actions to take following activation of the EWS sirens. Upon hearing the sirens, they have been instructed to turn on their radios or television sets to EAS stations to receive further instructions. Surry and James City counties and the State have 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> capability to activate the EWS sirens.

9.0 Recovery 9.2 9.1 Recovery Methodology 9.2 9.2 Population Exposure 9.3 Figure 9.1 Example Recovery Organization 9.4
SEP Page 9.2 Revision # TBD 9.0 Recovery The recovery process will be managed by a special, designated organization composed of Dominion personnel. The recovery organization is described in Figure 9.1. The basic organization may be modified as required to address the needs of the given situation. The Technical Support Manager assumes control and direction of the recovery operation with the authority and responsibilities for implementating and administering the recovery plan and organization. Responsibilities of the recovery organization include defining recovery objectives, developing a plan to accomplish these objectives, establishing controls and anticipating potential complications, monitoring the recovery effort and adjusting the plan accordingly, and evaluating accomplishments against the designated objectives.
The recovery process is implemented when the Corporate Response Manger, Technical Support Manager and the Station Emergency Manager, with concurrence of State and Federal agencies, have determined the station to be in a stable and controlled condition. Upon the determination, the NRC Operations Center, the Virginia Emergency Operations Center, and the local Emergency Operations Centers will be notified that the emergency has been terminated and any required recovery has commenced.
9.1 Recovery Methodology The recovery organization will develop plans and procedures designed to address both immediate and long-term actions. The necessity to maintain protective measures implemented during the emergency will be evaluated and, if deemed appropriate, the recovery organization will recommend relaxation of the protective measures.
The following conditions shall be considered appropriate for the recommendation to relax protection measures:
- a. Station parameters of operation no longer indicate a potential or actual emergency exists.
- b. The release of radioactivity from the Station is controllable, no longer exceeds permissible levels and does not present a credible danger to the public.
- c. The Station is capable of sustaining itself in a long term shutdown condition.
Because it is not possible to foresee all of the consequences of an event, specific recovery procedures may need to be written to address specialized requirements . Normal practices will be followed to the furthest extent possible with regard to maintenance, repair, modification , decontamination, and radiation exposure control activities. Where possible, existing station procedures will be utilized in the areas of operations, maintenance and radiological controls. Any special recovery procedures will require the same review and approval process accorded other station procedures and, as such, will require the approval of the Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC). Recovery plan objectives and associated schedules will be periodically evaluated and modified, if necessary, to accommodate changing circumstances. Provisions to review, prioritize, coordinate and proceduralize recovery activities (e.g ., repair, maintenance, modification, and decontamination) will also be addressed. The recovery organization addresses planning and coordination of the recovery effort (in cooperation with governmental officials, when required) . Federal and state agencies may augment the recovery organization and participate in establishing recovery objectives.
SEP Page 9.3 Revision # TBD 9.2 Population Exposure Total population doses shall be periodically estimated in the affected sectors and zones utilizing population distribution data from within the emergency planning zones.
Station personnel initially determine Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) due to external exposure from airborne material, external exposure from ground deposition , and internal exposure due to inhalation. Initial calculations are also performed for determination of Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) resulting from inhalation of radioiodines. The methodology used is consistent with that presented in EPA-400-R-92-001 , MANUAL OF PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDES AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR NUCLEAR INCIDENTS.
Determination of total population doses will be performed utilizing the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) computer code or equivalent, and will include assessments of exposure received from (but not necessarily limited to) immersion, inhalation, ground shine, and ingestion of radioactive materials.

Dear Dr. Stern:
Dominion Energy Virginia is in the process of asking the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for approval to consolidate both the North Anna Power Statiol) (NAPS) Local Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the Surry Power Station (SPS) Local EOF with the existing Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC) at our Innsbrook Technical Center in Glen Allen, Virginia. The proposed consolidated EOF will enhance our emergency response
\ '*. *. . '*. . I capability, subsume.\he,functions of the CERC and e_lirninate the need for back-up EOF facilities. Overall respons~ ca,pability will improve in *1:he following ways:
- Operation of tne consolidated EOF will not be disrupted in the event of a site radiological release, loss of electrical power or security threat, due to its location outside of the 10-mile emergency planning zone. I
- The Innsbrook facility includes state-of-the-art technological equipment, co-located responders' work areas for State and Federal response personnel and capabilities for responding to multiple station.emergency events simultaneously.
- Emergency responders at the Nuclear Stations and Corporate will be used more effectively to staff emergency facilities and implement response actions with the elimination of the Local EOFs.
- A more consistent response to any emergency will be provided using a common staff, processes and training. .
- State agency response to the Consolidated EOF is simplified by having a single facility and this enhances the capability to coordinate efforts for dual station events, along with being closer to State offices.
Prior to seeking approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Dominion Energy Virginia hereby requests that your agency review this change for any impact it may have on your Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) plan for both NAPS and SPS. If you have any questions regarding the proposed consolidation or this request, please feel free to

Dear Mr. Hill,
When our commercial nuclear facility emergency plans were upgraded in 1980-1982, a dedicated automatic ringdown (ARD) circuit and instrument was installed between the Surry Power Station Local Emergency Operations Facility (LEOF) and your county Early Warning Point (E-911). The rationale for installing this circuit is unknown as there was no regulatory requirement for this circuit and the only documented use has been during quarterly equipment surveillances. Your county is a risk jurisdiction which, in addition to the Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC}, is capable of activating site-specific Early Warning System (EWS) siren system. A similar ARD circuit is installed at the VEOC, but it connects with Surry Power Station Main Control Room, Technical Support Center and LEOF.
Unlike the ARD to your county early warning point, the VEOC ARDs are used on a regular basis during drills, exercises and declared events. As part of Dominion Energy Virginia's proposal to consolidate both the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Local EOF and Surry Power Station (SPS) Local EOF with the existing back-up central EOF for both stations located in Glen Allen, Virginia, it is being proposed that this ARD between the Surry LEOF and your Early Warning Point be eliminated. Multiple other means of communications exist. Prior to seeking approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Dominion Energy hereby requests that your agency provide written concurrence regarding removal of this ARD. This concurrence includes that you have reviewed any impact this change may have on your local Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) plan.
If you have any questions regarding the proposed removal or this request, please feel free to contact me at (804) 273-3191. Otherwise, if you concur with the proposed removal of the ARD, please countersign an original copy of this letter and returning to me at your convenience in the self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Dear Mr. Seward,
When our comme_r.cial nuclear facility emergency plans were upgraded in 1980-1982, a dedic.ated: automatic ringdown (ARD) circuit and instrument was .installed between the Surry Power Station LocalJmergency Operations Facility (LEOF) and your county Early Warning Point (E-911). The rationale for installing this circuit is unknown as there was no regulatory requirei:nentfor this circuit and the only documented use has been during quarterly equipment surveillances. Your county is a risk jurisdiction which, in addition to the Virginia Emergency Operations Center: (VEOC), is capable of activating site-specific Early Warning System (EWS) siren system. A similar ARD circuit is installed at the VEOC, but it connects with Surry Power Station Main Control Room, Technical Support Center and LEOF.
Unlike the ARD to your county early warning point, the VEOC ARDs are used on a regular basis during drills, exercises and declared events. As part of Dominion Energy Virginia's proposal to consolidate both the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Local EOF and Surry Power Station (SPS) Local EOF with the existing back-up central EOF for both stations located in Glen Allen, Virginia, it is being proposed that this ARD between the Surry LEOF and your Early Warning Point be eliminated. Multiple other means of communications exist. Prior to seeking approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Dominion Energy hereby requests that your agency provide written concurrence regarding removal of this ARD. This concurrence includes that you have reviewed any impact this change may have on your local Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) plan.
If you have any questions regarding the proposed removal or this request, please feel free to contact me at (804) 273-3191. Otherwise, if you concur with the proposed removal of the ARDi please countersign an original copy of this letter and returning to me at your convenience in the self-addressed, stamped envelope.
As always, your continued support of the Dominion Energy _Emergency Preparedness program is greatly appreciated.
