Title:

Classifying The Emergency-Technical Bases Page: 4 of 190 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 This document provides an explanation and rationale for each Emergency Action Level (EAL) included in the EAL Upgrade Project for Columbia Generating Station (CGS). It should be used to provide historical documentation for future reference and serve as a training aid.

Decision-makers responsible for implementation of PPM 13.1.1, Classifying the Emergency, may (though not required) use this document as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation.

1.2 The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the emergency classification.

1.3 Because the information in a basis document can affect emergency classification decision-making (e.g., the Emergency Director refers to it during an event), the NRC staff expects that changes to the basis document will be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q). Additionally, some criteria/values in the CGS EALs and fission product barrier thresholds are drawn from plant AOPs and EOPs. The impact of any changes to those procedures on EAL bases must' be evaluated for screening in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q). This Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure is identified by reference in the Emergency Plan. Changes to the EAL Scheme (Attachments 6.1) require an LDCN since it is part of the Emergency Plan .

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 6 of 190 2.2.3 Columbia Generating Station NEI 99-01 Revision 6 EAL Comparison Matrix 3.0 DISCUSSION 3.1 Background 3.1.1 EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the CGS Emergency Plan.

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

3.1.3 NEI 99-01 (NUMARC/NESP-007) Revisions 4 and 5 were subsequently issued for industry implementation. Enhancements over earlier revisions included:

  • Consolidating the system malfunction initiating conditions and example emergency action levels which address conditions that may be postulated to occur during plant shutdown conditions.
  • Initiating conditions and example emergency action levels that fully address conditions that may be postulated to occur at permanently Defueled Stations and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSls) .
  • Simplifying the fission product barrier EAL threshold for a Site Area Emergency.

3.1.4 Subsequently, Revision 6 of NEI 99-01 has been issued which incorporates resolutions to numerous implementation issues including the NRC EAL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Using NEI 99-01 Revision 6, "Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," November 2012 (ADAMS Accession Number ML12326A805) (ref. 2.1.1), CGS conducted an EAL implementation upgrade project that produced the EALs discussed herein.

3.2 Fission Product Barriers Fission product barrier thresholds represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers, any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment.

Many of the EALs derived from the NEI methodology are fission product barrier threshold based. That is, the conditions that define the EALs are based upon thresholds that represent the loss or potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. A "Loss" threshold means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials. A "Potential Loss" threshold implies an increased probability of barrier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier .

Number: 13.1.1A I Use Category: REFERENCE Major Rev: 033 Minor Rev: N/A

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 7 of 190 3.2.1 The primary fission product barriers are:

a. Fuel Clad (FC): The Fuel Clad Barrier consists of the cladding material that contains the fuel pellets.
b. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS Barrier is the reactor coolant system pressure boundary and includes the RPV and all reactor coolant system piping out to and including the isolation valves.
c. Containment (PC): The drywell, the wetwell, their respective interconnecting paths, and other connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves comprise the PC barrier. Containment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the ECL from Alert to either a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency using the Fission Product Barrier table.

3.3 Emergency Classification Based on Fission Product Barrier Degradation The following criteria are the bases for event classification related to fission product barrier loss or potential loss:

3.3.1 Alert

  • 3.3.2 Any loss or any potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS barrier Site Area Emergency:

Loss or potential loss of any two barriers 3.3.3 General Emergency:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 8 of 190 3.4 EAL Organization 3.4.1 The CGS EAL scheme includes the following features:

a. Division of the EAL set into three broad groups:
1) EALs applicable under all plant operating modes - This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.
2) EALs applicable only under hot operating modes - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Startup, or Power Operations mode.
3) EALs applicable only under cold operating modes - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refuel or Defueled mode.

3.4.2 The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of hot condition EALs when the plant is in a cold condition and avoid review of cold condition EALs when the plant is in a hot condition. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user for a given plant condition, reduces EAL-user reading burden and, thereby, speeds identification of the EAL that applies to the emergency .

  • 3.4.3 3.4.4 Within each group, assignment of EALs to categories and subcategories:

Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user. The CGS EAL categories are aligned to and represent the NEI 99-01"Recognition Categories". Subcategories are used in the CGS scheme as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds. The CGS EAL categories and subcategories are listed in Table 3.4-1.

3.4.5 The primary tool for determining the emergency classification level is the EAL Classification Matrix. The user of the EAL Classification Matrix may (but is not required to) consult the EAL bases in order to obtain additional information concerning the EALs under classification consideration. The user should consult Section 4.0 and Attachment 6.1 of this document for such information .

  • 3.9.7 The plant operating mode that exists at the time that the event occurs (prior to any protective system or operator action being initiated in response to the condition) should be compared to the mode applicability of the EALs. If a lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the emergency classification is made, the declaration shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred.

3.9.8 For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refuel, escalation is via EALs that have Cold Shutdown or Refuel for mode applicability, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during any subsequent heat-up. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in Hot Shutdown or higher.

3.9.9 The ISFSI related EAL EU1. 1 is applicable in the Storage Operations mode as defined in the Certificate of Compliance Appendix A Section 1. 1 Definitions (ref 2.1.12).

3.10 Storage Operations

  • Storage operations include all licensed activities that are performed at the ISFSI while a Spent Fuel Storage Cask (SFSC) containing spent fuel is situated within the ISFSI perimeter.

Storage Operations does not include MPC transfer between the Transfer Cask and the Overpack which begins when the MPC is lifted off the HI-TRAC bottom lid and ends when the MPC is supported from beneath by the Overpack (or the reverse).

4.0 PROCEDURE 4.1 General Considerations When making an emergency classification, the Emergency Director must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition (IC). This includes the Emergency Action Level (EAL) plus the associated Operating Mode Applicability, Notes, and the informing basis information. In the Recognition Category F matrices, EALs are based on loss or potential loss of Fission Product Barrier Thresholds.

4. 1. 1 Classification Timeliness NRC regulations require the licensee to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The NRC staff has provided guidance on implementing this requirement in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants" (ref. 2. 1.3) .

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 13 of 190 4.1.2 Valid Indications All emergency classification assessments shall be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. A valid indication, report, or condition, is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there is no doubt regarding indicator operability, condition existence, or report accuracy. For example, verification could be accomplished through an instrument channel check, response on related or redundant indicators, or direct observation by plant personnel.

An indication, report, or condition is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to indicator operability, the condition existence, or the report accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. The validation of indications should be completed in a manner that supports timely emergency declaration.

4.1.3 Imminent Conditions For ICs and EALs that have a stipulated time duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.), the Emergency Director should not wait until the applicable time has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition has exceeded, or will likely exceed, the applicable time. If an ongoing radiological release is detected and the release start time is unknown, it should be assumed that the release duration specified in the IC/EA~ has been exceeded, absent data to the contrary.

4.1.4 Planned vs. Unplanned Events A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that: 1) the activity proceeds as planned, and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that complian~e is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirements of 1O § CFR 50. 72 (ref. 2.1.4) .

dose assessments, chemistry sampling, RCS leak rate calculation, etc.). For these EALs, the EAL wording or the associated basis discussion will identify the necessary analysis. In these cases, the 15-minute declaration period starts with the availability of the analysis results that show the threshold to be exceeded (i.e., this is the time that the EAL information is first available). The NRC expects licensees to establish the capability to initiate and complete EAL-related analyses within a reasonable period of time (e.g., maintain the necessary expertise on-shift).

\

4.1.6 Emergency Director Judgment While the EALs have been developed to address a full spectrum of possible events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The NEI 99-01 EAL scheme provides the Emergency Director with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment using EALs that are consistent with the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) definitions (refer to Category H). The Emergency Director will need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular ECL definition. A similar provision is incorporated in the Fission Product Barrier Tables; judgment may be used to determine the status of a fission product barrier.

4.2 Classification Methodology To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e., the relevant plant indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evaluation of an EAL must be consistent with the related Operating Mode Applicability and Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, the associated IC is likewise met, the emergency classification process "clock" starts, and the ECL must be declared in accordance with plant procedures no later than fifteen minutes after the process "clock" started.

When assessing an EAL that specifies a time duration for the off-normal condition, the "clock" for the EAL time duration runs concurrently with the emergency classification process "clock."

For a full discussion of this timing requirement, refer to NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 (ref. 2.1.3).

4.2.1 Classification of Multiple Events and Conditions

a. When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the user will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable ECL identified during this review is declared. For example:
  • If an Alert EAL and a Site Area Emergency EAL are met, a Site Area Emergency should be declared .

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 15 of 190

b. There is no "additive" effect from multiple EALs meeting the same ECL. For example:
  • If two Alert EALs are met, an Alert should be declared.
c. Related guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-02, Clarification of NRG Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events (ref. 2.1.5).

4.2.2 Consideration of Mode Changes During Classification

a. The mode in effect at the time that an event or condition occurred, and prior to any plant or operator response, is the mode that determines whether or not an IC is applicable. If an event or condition occurs, and results in a mode change before the emergency is declared, the emergency classification level is still based on the mode that existed at the time that the event or condition was initiated (and not when it was declared). Once a different mode is reached, any new event or condition, not related to the original event or condition, requiring emergency classification should be evaluated against the ICs and EALs applicable to the operating mode at the time of the new event or condition.
  • b. For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refuel, escalation is via EALs that are applicable in the Cold Shutdown or Refuel modes, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during the subsequent plant response. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in the Hot Shutdown mode or higher.

4.2.3 Classification of Imminent Conditions Although EALs provide specific thresholds, the Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding an EAL within a relatively short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT). If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should be made as if the EAL has been met. While applicable to all emergency classification levels, this approach is particularly important at the higher emergency classification levels since it provides additional time for implementation of protective measures.

4.2.4 Emergency Classification Level Upgrading and Downgrading

a. An ECL may be downgraded when the event or condition that meets the highest IC and EAL no longer exists, and other site-specific downgrading requirements are met. If downgrading the ECL is deemed appropriate, the new ECL would then be based on a lower applicable IC(s) and EAL(s). The ECL may also simply be terminated.
b. As noted above, guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in RIS 2007-02 (ref. 2.1.5).

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 16 of 190 4.2.5 Classification of Short-Lived Events Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and, thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL, the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its continued presence at the time of declaration.

Examples of such events include an earthquake or a failure of the reactor protection system to automatically scram the reactor followed by a successful manual scram.

4.2.6 Classification of Transient Conditions Many of the ICs and/or EALs employ time-based criteria. These criteria will require that the IC/EAL conditions be present for a defined period of time before an emergency declaration is warranted. In cases where no time-based criterion is specified, it is recognized that some transient conditions may cause an EAL to be met for a brief period of time (e.g., a few seconds to a few minutes). The following guidance should be applied to the classification of these conditions.

a. EAL momentarily met during expected plant response - In instances where an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, an emergency declaration is not warranted provided that associated systems and components are operating as expected, and operator actions are performed in accordance with procedures.
b. EAL momentarily met but the condition is corrected prior to an emergency declaration - If an operator takes prompt manual action to address a condition, and the action is successful in correcting the condition prior to the emergency declaration, then the applicable EAL is not considered met and the associated emergency declaration is not required. For illustrative purposes, consider the following example:

An ATWS occurs and the high pressure ECCS systems fail to automatically start. RPV level rapidly decreases and the plant enters an inadequate core cooling condition (a potential loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers). If an operator manually starts a high pressure ECCS system in accordance with an EOP step and clears the inadequate core cooling condition prior to an emergency declaration, then the classification should be based on the ATWS only .

c. It is important to stress that the 15-minute emergency classification assessment period (process clock) is not a "grace period" during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event. Emergency classification assessments must be deliberate and timely, with no undue delays. The provision discussed above addresses only those rapidly evolving situations when an operator is able to take a successful corrective action prior to the Emergency Director completing the review and steps necessary to make the emergency declaration. This provision is included to ensure that any public protective actions resulting from the emergency classification are truly warranted by. the plant conditions.

4.2. 7 Transitory Event Classification

a. In some cases, an EAL may be met but the emergency classification was not made at the time of the event or condition. This situation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL, but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no longer exists at the time of discovery. This may be due to the event or condition not being recognized at the time or an error that was made in the emergency classification process.
b. In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted; however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022 (ref. 2.1.6) is applicable. Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR § 50. 72 (ref. 2.1.5) within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies in accordance with the agreed upon arrangements.

In some cases, the licensee discovers that a condition existed that met the Emergency Action Level (EAL) criteria, but no emergency was declared and the basis for the emergency classification no longer exists at the time of this discovery. This may be due to a rapidly concluded event or an oversight in the emergency classification made during the event, or it may be determined during a post event review. In these cases, in accordance with NUREG 1022, no emergency declaration is warranted.

If the licensee does not declare an emergency under these circumstances, an Emergency Notification System (ENS) notificatio_n within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of the discovery of the undeclared (or misclassified) event should be performed, in accordance with PPM 13.4.1.

If the licensee does declare an emergency, then all notifications required by PPM 13.4.1 are to be made.

4.2.8 Retraction of an Emergency Declaration Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022 (ref. 2.1.6).

Selected terms used in Initiating Condition and Emergency Action Level statements are set in all capital letters (e.g., ALL CAPS). These words a*re defined terms that have specific meanings as used in this document. The definitions of these terms are provided below.

5.1.1 ALERT Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.

5.1.2 CAN/CANNOT BE MAINTAINED ABOVE/BELOW The value of an identified parameter is/is not able to be held within the specified limit. The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to parameter values and trends. An instruction prescribing action when a parameter cannot be maintained above or below a specified limit neither requires nor prohibits anticipatory action-depending upon plant conditions, the action may be taken as soon as it is determined that the limit will ultimately be exceeded, or delayed until the limit is actually reached. Once the parameter does exceed the limit, however, the action must be performed; it may not be delayed while attempts are made to restore the parameter to within the desired control band.

5.1.3 CAN/CANNOT BE RESTORED ABOVE/BELOW The value of an identified parameter is/is not able to be brought within the specified limit. The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to parameter values and trends. An instruction prescribing action when a value cannot be restored and maintained above or below a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current values is outside the range, but does not permit extended operation beyond the limit; the action must be taken as soon as it is apparent that the specified range cannot be attained.

5.1.4 CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. As related to the CGS ISFSI, Confinement Boundary is defined as the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) (ref. 2.1.7) .

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 19 of 190 5.1.5 CONTAINMENT CLOSURE The procedurally defined conditions or actions taken to secure Containment (Primary or Secondary) and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions. A functional barrier is one which mitigates offsite release during an event.

Containment Closure requires a functional barrier (not necessarily Technical Specification Operable; the appropriate structures, systems, and components are functional) to exist at the time of an event. The site cannot rely on contingency methods to establish a functional barrier after the event has started. In Mode 4 either a functional Primary Containment or a functional Secondary Containment is sufficient to mitigate offsite release. In Mode 5, a functional Secondary Containment is sufficient to mitigate offsite release. Therefore, Containment Closure is met in Mode 4 with either a functional Primary Containment or a functional Secondary Containment. Containment Closure is met in Mode 5 with a functional Secondary Containment.

5.1.6 EPA PAGS Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guidelines. The EPA PAGs are expressed in terms of dose commitment: 1 Rem TEDE or 5 Rem COE Thyroid.

Actual or projected offsite exposures in excess of the EPA PAGs requires CGS to recommend protective actions for the general public to Offsite Response Organizations (ORO).

5.1.7 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an Initiating Condition that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level.

5.1.8 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are:

  • Unusual Event (UE)
  • Alert

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 31 of 190 EAL TECHNICAL BASES Category C - Cold Shutdown / Refuel System Malfunction EAL Group: Cold Conditions (RCS temperature s 200°F);

EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more cold operating modes.

Category C EALs are directly associated with cold shutdown or Refuel system safety functions. Given the variability of plant configurations (e.g., systems out-of-service for maintenance, containment open, reduced AC power redundancy, time since shutdown) during these periods, the consequences of any given initiating event can vary greatly. For example, a loss of decay heat removal capability that occurs at the end of an extended outage has less significance than a similar loss occurring during the first week after shutdown. Compounding these events is the likelihood that instrumentation necessary for assessment may also be inoperable. The cold shutdown and Refuel system malfunction EALs are based on performance capability to the extent possible with consideration given to RCS integrity, CONTAINMENT CLOSURE, and fuel clad integrity for the applicable operating modes (4 - Cold Shutdown, 5 - Refuel, D- Defueled).

The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

1. RPV Level Reactor Pressure V.essel water level is directly related to the status of adequate core cooling and, therefore, fuel clad integrity .
  • 2. Loss of Emergency AC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite power sources for 4160 V emergency buses.
3. RCS Temperature Uncontrolled or inadvertent temperature or pressure increases are indicative of a potential loss of safety functions.
4. Loss of Vital DC Power Loss of vital plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of power to or degraded voltage on the vital125 voe buses.
5. Loss of Communications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.
6. Hazardous Event Affecting Safety Systems Certain hazardous natural and technological events may result in visible damage to or degraded performance of safety systems warranting classification .

  • CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established (Note 6)
  • Explosive mixture inside PC (H 2 GE 6% and 0 2 GE 5%)
  • UNPLANNED rise in PC pressure
  • RB area radiation GT any Maximum Safe Operating level (PPM 5.3.1 Table 24)

Note 1: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded

  • Mode Applicability:

Basis:

When RPV level drops to the top of active fuel (an indicated RPV level of -161 in.), core uncovery starts to occur (ref. 1, 2).

Four conditions are associated with a challenge to primary containment (PC) integrity:

  • Containment Closure is defined as the Shutdown Safety Plan (SDSP) actions taken to secure primary or secondary containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. This definition is less restrictive than Technical Specification criteria governing Primary and Secondary Containment operability. If the Technical Specification criteria are met, therefore, Containment Closure has been established. (ref. 3, 4, 5)
  • Explosive (deflagration) mixtures in the primary containment are assumed to be elevated concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. BWR industry evaluation of hydrogen generation for development of EOPs/SAGs indicates that any hydrogen concentration above minimum detectable is not to be expected within the short term. Post-LOCA hydrogen generation primarily caused by radiolysis is a slowly evolving, long-term condition. Hydrogen concentrations that rapidly develop are most likely caused by metal-water reaction. A metal-water reaction is indicative of an accident more severe than accidents considered in the plant design basis and would be indicative, therefore, of a potential threat to primary containment integrity. Hydrogen concentration of approximately 6% is considered the global deflagration

The minimum global deflagration hydrogen/oxygen concentrations (6% / 5%, respectively) require intentional primary containment venting, which is defined to be a loss of the primary containment barrier.

Atmosphere samples from a minimum of two locations inside the primary containment and one location in the suppression chamber are sequentially monitored for hydrogen and oxygen percentage levels by each of two redundant analyzer systems. The analyzers are single range (0 to 30% hydrogen and Oto 30% oxygen). Two redundant (divisional) recorders are provided in the Main Control Room CMS-02/H2R-1 (H13-P827) and CMS-02/H2R-2 (H13-P811).

Hydrogen and oxygen concentrations can also be displayed on the plant computers (ref. 9-12)

  • Any UNPLANNED rise in PC pressure in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling mode indicates Containment Closure cannot be assured and the primary containment cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release.
  • RB (Reactor Building) area radiation monitors should provide indication of increased release that may be indicative of a challenge to Containment Closure. The Maximum Safe Operating levels are indicative of problems in the secondary containment that are spreading. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in Table 24 of the EOP flowcharts (ref. 13). All Table 24 Maximum Safe Operating radiation levels can be determined in the main Control Room .
  • If RPV level is restored and maintained above the top of active fuel before a Containment Challenge condition occurs and subsequently a Containment Challenge condition is reached, this EAL is not met.

This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain reactor vessel level above the top of active fuel with containment challenged. This condition represents actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If RPV level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable.

With CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established, there is a high potential for a direct and unmonitored release of radioactivity to the environment. If CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is re-established prior to exceeding the 30-minute time limit, then declaration of a General Emergency is not required.

The existence of an explosive mixture means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to support a hydrogen burn (i.e., at the lower deflagration limit). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefore represents a challenge to Containment integrity.

In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive gas mixture in containment. If all installed hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service during an event leading to fuel cladding damage, it may not be possible to obtain a containment hydrogen gas concentration reading as ambient conditions within the containment will preclude personnel access. During periods when installed containment hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service, operators may use the other listed indications to assess whether or not containment is

Mode Applicability:

Basis:

EAL#1 The threshold RPV water level of-129 in. is the low-low-low ECCS actuation setpoint. The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RPV water level decrease and potential core uncovery. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint infers a failure of the RCS barrier and Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier. (ref. 1)

EAL#2 When RPV level drops to the top of active fuel (an indicated RPV level of -161 in.), core uncovery starts to occur (ref. 2).

This IC addresses a significant and prolonged loss of RCS inventory control and makeup capability leading to IMMINENT fuel damage. The lost inventory may be due to a RCS component failure, a loss of configuration control or prolonged boiling of reactor coolant. These conditions entail major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Emergency declaration.

Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If RPV level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable.

Outage/shutdown contingency plans typically provide for re-establishing or verifying CONTAINMENT CLOSURE following a loss of heat removal or RCS inventory control functions. The difference in the specified RPV levels of CS 1.1 (1) and CS1 .1 (2) reflect the fact that with CONTAl NM ENT CLOSURE established, there is a lower probability of a fission product release to the environment.

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 38 of 190 For EAL #1, a lowering of water level below -50 in. indicates that operator actions have not been successful in restoring and maintaining RPV water level. The heat-up rate of the coolant will increase as the available water inventory is reduced. A continuing decrease in water level will lead to core uncovery.

Although related, EAL #1 is concerned with the loss of RCS inventory and not the potential concurrent effects on systems needed for decay heat removal (e.g., loss of a Decay Heat Removal suction point).

An increase in RCS temperature caused by a loss of decay heat removal capability is evaluated under ICCA3.

EAL#2 In this EAL, all RPV level indication is unavailable and the RPV inventory loss must be detected by the leakage indications listed in Table 1. Level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the drywell to ensure they are indicative of RPV leakage. Reactor Building equipment or floor drain sump level rise may be indicative of RPV inventory losses external to the primary containment from systems connected to the RPV (ref. 3, 4).

With RHR System operating in the Shutdown Cooling mode, an unexplained rise in wetwell level could be indicative of RHR valve misalignment or leakage (ref. 5). If the make-up rate to the RPV unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate, a loss of RPV inventory may be occurring even if the source of the leakage cannot be immediately identified. Visual observation of leakage from systems connected to the RCS in areas outside the primary containment that cannot be isolated could be indicative of a loss of RPV inventory .

  • For EAL #2, the inability to monitor RPV level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank l~vels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow'to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the RPV.

The 15-minute duration for the loss of level indication was chosen because it is half of the EAL duration specified in IC CS1.

Basis:

These Cold Shutdown EALs represent the hot condition EAL MU5.1, in which RCS leakage is associated with Technical Specification limits. In Cold Shutdown, these limits are not applicable; hence, the use of RPV level as the parameter of concern in this EAL.

This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain water level to a required minimum level (or the ,

lower limit of a level band), or a loss of the ability to monitor RPV level concurrent with indications of coolant leakage. Either of these conditions is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

Refuel evolutions that decrease RCS water inventory are carefully planned and controlled. An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below a procedurally required limit warrants the declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced water inventory that is available to keep the

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 40 of 190 Continued loss of RCS inventory may result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either IC CA1 or CA3.

EAL#1 In Mode 4 and Mode 5, prior to flood up, RPV level is monitored from -310 in. to +400 in. to ensure adequate coverage for expected and postulated conditions of RPV level. All instr~ments are referenced to a benchmark at 527 .5 in. above the inside bottom head of the reactor vessel. This benchmark corresponds to the bottom edge of the steam dryer skirt and is the O in. reference indication on the RPV level instruments (ref. 1, 2, 3).

In preparation for refueling operations, level instruments are modified to provide continuous level indication from within the RPV to the refuel floor (ref. 4, 5).

The RPV level is controlled in a designated band in the reactor vessel and it is the inability to maintain level above the low end of the designated control band due to a loss of inventory resulting from a leak in the RCS that is the concern. With the plant in Refuel mode, RPV water level is normally maintained at or above the reactor vessel flange (ref. 6).

EAL #1 recognizes that the minimum required RPV level can change several times during the course of a Refuel outage as different plant configurations and system lineups are implemented. This EAL is met if the minimum level, specified for the current plant conditions, cannot be maintained for 15 minutes or longer. The minimum level is typically specified in the applicable operating procedure but may be specified in another controlling document.

  • The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to restore and maintain the expected water level. This criterion excludes transient conditions causing a brief lowering of water level.

EAL#2 In this EAL, all RPV level indication is unavailable and the RPV inventory loss must be detected by the leakage indications listed in Table 1. Level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the drywell to ensure they are indicative of RPV leakage. Reactor Building equipment or floor drain sump level rise may be indicative of RPV inventory losses external to the primary containment from systems connected to the RPV (ref. 7, 8, 6).

With RHR System operating in the Shutdown Cooling mode, an unexplained rise in wetwell level could be indicative of RHR valve misalignment or leakage (ref. 10). If the make-up rate to the RPV unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate, a loss of RPV inventory may be occurring even if the source of the leakage cannot be immediately identified. Visual observation of leakage from systems connected to the RCS in areas outside the primary containment that cannot be isolated could be indicative of a loss of RPV inventory.

EAL #2 addresses a condition where all means to determine RPV level have been lost. In this condition, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the RPV .

Classifying The Emergency- Technical Bases Page: 43 of 190 An UNPLANNED wetwell level increase to GT 2 inches or a VALID RB room high level alarm indicates a significant loss of RCS that could lead to core uncovery if not isolated (ref. 4, 5).

Visual observation of significant leakage from systems connected to the RCS in areas outside the primary containment that cannot be isolated could be indicative of a loss of RPV inventory sufficient to lead to core uncovery.

Four conditions are associated with a challenge to primary containment (PC) integrity:

  • CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established.
  • Explosive (deflagration) mixtures in the primary containment are assumed to be elevated concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. BWR industry evaluation of hydrogen generation for development of EOPs/SAGs indicates that any hydrogen concentration above minimum detectable is not to be expected within the short term. Post-LOCA hydrogen generation primarily caused by radiolysis is a slowly evolving, long-term condition. Hydrogen concentrations that rapidly develop are most likely caused by metal-water reaction. A metal-water reaction is indicative of an accident more severe than accidents considered in the plant design basis and would be indicative, therefore, of a potential threat to primary containment integrity. Hydrogen concentration of approximately 6% is considered the global deflagration concentration limit (ref.

6).

  • The specified values for this threshold are the minimum global deflagration concentration limits (6% hydrogen and 5% oxygen, ref. 6) and readily recognizable because 6% hydrogen is well above the EOP flowchart entry condition (ref. 8). The minimum global deflagration hydrogen/oxygen concentrations (6%/5%, respectively) require intentional primary containment venting, which is defined to be a loss of the primary containment barrier.

Two redundant (divisional) recorders are provided in the Main Control Room CMS 02/H2R 1 (H13 P827) and CMS 02/H2R 2 (H13 P811).

Hydrogen and oxygen concentrations can also be displayed on the plant computers (Ref. 9-12)

  • Any unplanned rise in PC pressure in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling mode indicates Containment Closure cannot be assured and the primary containment cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release.
  • RB (Reactor Building) area radiation monitors should provide indication of increased release that may be indicative of a challenge to Containment Closure.

This IC addresses a total loss of AC power that compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink.

When in the cold shutdown, Refuel, or defueled mode, this condition is not classified as a Site Area Emergency because of the increased time available to restore an emergency bus to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these modes, this condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS1 or RS1.

Table 2 provides the list of AC power sources available to power emergency buses (ref. 1, 2).

Station Startup 230KV power comes from the Ashe substation through Startup transformer TR-S. The Startup transformer usually supplies station auxiliary loads when the main generator is not available.

Classifying The Emergency -Technical Bases Page: 49 of 190 Credit is not taken in this EAL for SM-4/DG3 crosstie capability because establishing the crosstie to SM-7 or SM-8 is assumed to require more than 15 minutes (5). SM-4 is not a site specific emergency AC buss source since SM-4 does not provide core cooling or containment cooling.

It is possible to remove Startup power from service and continue to supply the plant during shutdown conditions by backfeeding 500 KV power from Ashe Substation through the Main Transformers, the Normal Transformers and associated "N" breakers. This involves disconnecting the Main Generator from the Isolated Phase conductors (25 KV system) and overriding various interlocks. This action would take significantly longer than 15 minutes; therefore, backfeed must be in service to credit this source (r~n. .

The second threshold statement in this EAL does not describe a separate condition; it is clarifying the first threshold statement.

This cold condition EAL is equivalent to the hot condition EAL MA 1.1.

This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safety-related equipment.

When in the cold shutdown, Refuel, or defueled mode, this condition is not classified as an Alert because of the increased time available to restore another power source to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these modes, this condition is considered to be a potential

  • degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

An "AC power source" is a source recognized in AOPs, and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.

  • A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of one division of emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators).
  • A loss of all offsite power and loss of all emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being back-fed from the unit main generator.
  • A loss of emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single division of emergency buses being back-fed from an offsite power source.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power.

The subsequent loss of the remaining single power source would escalate the event to an Alert in accordance with IC CA2.

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 51 of 190 The RCS should be considered intact when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the cold shutdown mode of operation (e.g., no freeze seals or nozzle dams).

This IC addresses conditions involving a loss of decay heat removal capability or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed. Either condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification.

The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table addresses an increase in RCS temperature when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but the RCS is not intact.. The 20-minute criterion was included to allow time for operator action to address the temperature increase.

The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table also addresses an increase in RCS temperature with the RCS intact. The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not crucial in this condition since the intact RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to a fission product release. The 60-minute time frame should allow sufficient time to address the temperature increase without a substantial degradation in plant safety.

Finally, in the case where there is an increase in RCS temperature, the RCS is not intact , and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established, no heat-up duration is allowed (i.e., 0 minutes). This is because 1) the evaporated reactor coolant may be released directly into the Containment atmosphere and subsequently to the environment, and 2) there is reduced reactor coolant inventory above the top

  • of irradiated fuel.

The RCS pressure increase threshold provides a pressure-based indication of RCS heat-up in the absence of RCS temperature monitoring capability.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS1 or RS1.

CU3.1 Unusual Event UNPLANNED increase in RCS temperature to GT 200°F Mode Applicability:

Basis:

In the absence of reliable RCS temperature indication caused by a loss of decay heat removal capability, classification should be based on EAL CU3.2 should RCS level indication be subsequently lost.

The Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit is 200°F (ref. 1).

This IC addresses an UNPLANNED increase in RCS temperature above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit and represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. If the RCS is not intact and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established during this event, the Emergency Director should also refer to IC CA3.

A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification.

This EAL involves a loss of decay heat removal capability, or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed, such that reactor coolant temperature cannot be maintained below the cold shutdown temperature limit specified in Technical Specifications. During this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat load has been reduced since the cessation of Power Operations.

During an outage, the level in the reactor vessel will normally be maintained at or above the reactor vessel flange. Refuel evolutions that lower water level below the reactor vessel flange are carefully planned and controlled. A loss of forced decay heat removal at reduced inventory may result in a rapid increase in reactor coolant temperature depending on the time after shutdown.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication.

Escalation to Alert would be via IC CA1 based on an inventory loss or IC CA3 based on exceeding plant configuration-specific time criteria.

CU4.1 Unusual Event Indicated voltage LT 108 voe on required 125 voe buses DP-S1-1 and DP-S1-2 for GE 15 min.

(Note 1)

Note 1: The Emergency Director should declare the event promptly upon determining that time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded Mode Applicability:

Basis:

The 125 VDC Class 1E DC power system consists of three electrically independent and separate distribution systems (S1-1, S1-2, and S1-HPCS). S1-HPCS is not included in this EAL. Each DC distribution system has a battery and a battery charger that are normally connected to the bus such that these two sources of power are operating in parallel. The charger is normally supplying system

  • electrical loads with the battery on a float charge. Each battery has the necessary amp-hour discharge capacity to sustain system loads for a minimum of two hours. This capacity is specifically for a loss of power to the charger coincident with a design basis accident. The batteries have capacity to carry design load at 60°F without decreasing battery voltage below 1.81 volts/cell (or 108 VDC, ref. 1) with loss of output from the battery chargers during the specified period. Battery capacity is sufficient to provide starting currents while operating at full load. (ref. 2)

This EAL is the cold condition equivalent of the hot condition loss of DC power EAL MS2.1.

This IC addresses a loss of essential DC power which compromises the ability to monitor and control operable SAFETY SYSTEMS when the plant is in the cold shutdown or Refuel mode. In these modes, the core decay heat load has been significantly reduced, and coolant system temperatures and pressures are lower; these conditions increase the time available to restore a vital DC bus to service.

Thus, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

As used in this EAL, "required" means the essential DC buses necessary to support operation of the in-service, or operable, train or trains of SAFETY SYSTEM equipment. For example, if Division I is out-of-service (inoperable) for scheduled outage maintenance work and Division II is in-service (operable),

then a loss of essential DC power affecting Division II would require the declaration of an Unusual Event. A loss of essential DC power to Division. I would not warrant an emergency classification.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.

Depending upon the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA 1 or CA3, or an IC in Recognition Category R.

This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events.

Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.

  • VISIBLE DAMAGE addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation and that potentially could cause performance issues. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. This VISIBLE DAMAGE should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.

The significance of a seismic event is discussed under EAL HU2.1 (ref. 1).

Internal FLOODING may be caused by events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, or outage activity mishaps (ref. 2).

Seismic Category I structures are analyzed to withstand a sustained, design wind velocity of at least 100 mph (ref. 3).

Areas containing functions and systems required for safe shutdown of the plant are identified by Fire Areas in the fire response procedure (ref. 4).

The potential for volcanic eruption exists in the Pacific Northwest. Heavy ash fall, such as that experienced at certain lo~ations following the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, could affect operation of plant equipment if precautionary measures are not taken. The design basis ash fall is projected for a twenty hour duration. (ref. 5)

EAL Group: ANY (EALs in this category are applicable to any plant condition, hot or cold)

An independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) is a complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. A significant amount of the radioactive material contained within a cask/canister must escape its packaging and enter the biosphere for there to be a significant environmental effect resulting from an accident involving the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel.

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

A hostile security event that leads to a potential loss in the level of safety of the ISFSI is a classifiable event under Security category EAL HA 1.1 .

  • 20 mrem/hr (gamma + neutron) on the top of the overpack
  • 100 mrem/hr (gamma + neutron) on the side of the overpack, excluding inlet and outlet ducts Mode Applicability:

Storage Operations Basis:

The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation utilizes the HOLTEC International (HOLTEC) HI-STORM 100 Spent Fuel Dry Storage (SFDS) system. HI-STORM overpack or storage overpack means the cask that receives and contains the sealed multi-purpose canisters containing spent nuclear fuel. It provides the gamma and neutron shielding, ventilation passages, missile protection, and protection against natural phenomena and accidents for the MPC. (ref. 1, 2)

The EAL threshold values represent two-times the limits specified in the ISFSI Certificate of Compliance Technical Specification Section 3.2, Radiation Protection Program (ref. 2).

CGS has casks loaded to various amendments to the Certificate of Compliance (COC) Technical Specifications. The numbers above reflect the most limiting Technical Specification (TS) values (Amendment 1).

This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage cask containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of one or more fuel assemblies due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the cask or fuel from storage.

The existence of "damage" is determined by radiological survey. The technical specification multiple of "2 times", which is also used in Recognition Category RIC RU1, is used here to distinguish between non-emergency and emergency conditions. The emphasis for this classification is the degradation in the level of safety of the spent fuel cask and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded cask, the fact that the "on-contact" dose rate limit is exceeded may be determined based on measurement of a dose rate at some distance from the cask.

Security-related events for ISFSls are covered under ICs HU 1 and HA 1 .

Title:

Classifying The Emergency -Technical Bases Page: 64 of 190 Fission Product Barrier Matrix and Bases Introduction Table F-1 lists the threshold conditions that define the Loss and Potential Loss of the three fission product barriers (Fuel Clad, Reactor Coolant System, and Containment). The table is structured so that each of the three barriers occupies adjacent columns. Each fission product barrier column is further divided into two columns; one for Loss thresholds and one for Potential Loss thresholds.

The first column of the table (to the left of the Fuel Clad Loss column) lists the categories (types) of fission product barrier thresholds. The fission product barrier categories are:

A. RPV Water Level B. RCS Leak Rate c.- PC Conditions D. PC Radiation / RCS Activity E. PC Integrity or Bypass F. Emergency Director Judgment Each catego~ occupies a row in Table F-1 thus forming a matrix defined by the categories. The intersection of each row with each Loss/Potential Loss column forms a cell in which one or more fission product barrier thresholds appear. If NEI 99-01 does not define a threshold for a barrier Loss/Potential Loss, the word "None" is entered in the cell.

Thresholds are assigned sequential numbers within each Loss and Potential Loss column beginning with number one. In this manner, a threshold can be identified by its catego~ title and number. For example, the first Fuel Clad barrier Loss in Catego~ A would be assigned "FC Loss A.1," the third Containment barrier Potential Loss would be assigned "PC P-Loss B.3," etc.

If a cell in Table F-1 contains more than one numbered threshold, each of the numbered thresholds, if exceeded, signifies a Loss or Potential Loss of the barrier. It is not necessa~ to exceed all of the thresholds in a catego~ before declaring a barrier Loss/Potential Loss.

Subdivision of Table F-1 by catego~ facilitates association of plant conditions to the applicable fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds. This structure promotes a systematic approach to assessing the classification status of the fission product barriers.

  • When equipped with knowledge of plant conditions related to the fission product barriers, the EAL-user first scans down the catego~ column of Table F-1, locates the likely catego~ and then reads across the fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds in that catego~ to determine if a threshold has been exceeded. If a threshold has not been exceeded, the EAL-user proceeds to the next likely catego~ and continues review of the thresholds in the new catego~.

If the EAL-user determines that any threshold has been exceeded, by definition, the barrier is lost or potentially lost- even if multiple thresholds in the same barrier column are exceeded, only that one barrier is lost or potentially lost. The EAL-user must examine each of the three fission product barriers to determine if other barrier thresholds in the catego~ are lost or potentially lost. For example, if containment radiation is sufficiently high, a Loss of the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers and a Potential Loss of the prima~ containment barrier can occur. Barrier Losses and Potential Losses are then applied to the algorithms given in EALs FG1 .1, FS1 .1, and FA 1.1 to determine the appropriate emergency classification.

The Fuel Clad barrier threshold bases appear first, followed by the RCS barrier and finally the Containment barrier threshold bases. In each barrier, the bases are given according catego~ Loss followed by catego~ Potential Loss beginning with Catego~ A, then B, ... , F. Blank sections of the table do not have basis pages.

At the Site Area Emergency classification level, the ability to dynamically assess the proximity of present conditions with respect to the threshold for a General Emergency is important. For example, the existence of Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier loss thresholds in addition to offsite dose assessments would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and Containment integrity in anticipation of reaching a General Emergency classification. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS potential loss thresholds existed, the Emergency Director would have greater assurance that escalation to a General Emergency is less imminent.

I SAG entry required Basis:

EOP flowcharts provide instructions to assure adequate core cooling by restoring and maintaining RPV water level above prescribed limits, operate sufficient RPV injection sources to assure adequate core cooling, and assess the possibility of core damage when RPV level cannot be determined. The Fuel Clad Loss threshold conditions are the EOP flowchart conditions that signal a loss of adequate core cooling and a requirement to exit all EOPs and enter the SAGs (ref. 1-6).

This threshold is also a Loss of the RCS barrier (RCS Loss A) and a Potential Loss of the Containment barrier (PC P-Loss A), and therefore represents a Loss of two barriers and a Potential Loss of a third, which requires a General Emergency classification.

  • The Loss threshold represents the EOP requirement for entry to the Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs) .

Classifying The Emergency- Technical Bases Page: 70 of 190 Barrier: Fuel Clad Category: A. RPV Level Degradation Threat: Potential Loss Threshold:

RPV level cannot be restored and maintained GT -161 in. or cannot be determined Basis:

An RPV water level instrument reading of-161 in. indicates RPV level is at the top of active fuel (TAF)

(ref. 1, 2). When RPV level is at or above the TAF, the core is completely submerged. Core submergence is the most desirable means of core cooling. When RPV level is below TAF, the uncovered portion of the core must be cooled by less reliable means (i.e., steam cooling or spray cooling). If core uncovery is threatened, the EOPs specify alternate, more extreme, RPV water level control measures in order to restore and maintain adequate core cooling. Since core uncovery begins if RPV level drops to TAF, the level is indicative of a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier.

When RPV level cannot be determined, EOPs require RPV flooding strategies. RPV water level

  • indication provides the primary means of knowing if adequate core cooling is being maintained. When all means of determining RPV level are unavailable, the fuel clad barrier is threatened and reliance on alternate means of assuring adequate core cooling must be attempted. The instructions in PPM 5.1.4 and PPM 5.1.6 specify these means, which include emergency depressurization of the RPV and injection into the RPV at a rate needed to flood to the elevation of the main steam lines or hold RPV pressure above the Minimum Steam Cooling Pressure (in A TWS events) (ref. 3, 4). If RPV level cannot be determined with respect to the top of active fuel, a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier exists.

This water level corresponds to the top of the active fuel and is used in the EOPs to indicate a challenge to core cooling.

The RPV water level threshold is the same as RCS barrier Loss RPV Water Level threshold .A. Thus, this threshold indicates a Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and a Loss of the RCS barrier that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency.

This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified in the site-specific EOPs, RPV water cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier) or when procedural guidance or a lack of low pressure RPV injection sources preclude Emergency RPV depressurization. EOPs allow the operator a wide choice of RPV injection sources to consider when restoring RPV water level to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization of the RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration of RPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, this Fuel Clad barrier Potential Loss is met only after either:

1) the RPV has been depressurized, or required emergency RPV depressurization has been attempted, giving the operator an opportunity to assess the capability of low-pressure injection sources to restore RPV water level or
2) no low pressure RPV injection systems are available, precluding RPV depressurization in an attempt to minimize loss of RPV inventory.

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 71 of 190 The term "cannot be restored and maintained above" means the value of RPV water level is not able to be brought above the specified limit (top of active fuel). The determination requires an evaluation of system performance and availability in relation to the RPV water level value and trend. A threshold prescribing declaration when a threshold value cannot be restored and maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the top of active fuel; but does not permit extended operation below the limit; the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent that the top of active fuel cannot be attained.

In high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then controlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power is the higher priority. For such events, ICs MAS or MS6 will dictate the need for emergency classification.

Since the loss of ability to determine if adequate core cooling is being provided presents a significant challenge to the fuel clad barrier, a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier is specified.

Containment Radiation Monitor CMS-RIS-27E or CMS-RIS-27F reading GT 3,600 R/hr Basis:

Four high range area radiation detectors (CMS-RE-27A, B, E and F) are installed to monitor the drywall. CMS-RE-27A and -278 are located in the bioshield wall at elevations 522' and 525', azimuth 60° and 297°, respectively. CMS-RE-27E and -27F are located inside containment at elevation 515',

azimuth 290° and 51.5°, respectively. The companion containment radiation monitors (CMS-RIS-27A, B, E and F) are located on RAD Boards 22 and 23 in the Main Control Room. (ref. 1)

The threshold value was calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131 (or approximately 5% clad failure) into the drywall atmosphere. Evaluation of detector location, geometry and anticipated response suggests CMS-RIS-27E or F will provide the desired response to a given radiation source in the drywall and are, therefore, identified as the preferred monitors for evaluating this Fuel Clad Loss threshold. (ref. 2)

The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the primary containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131. Reactor coolant activity above this level is greater than that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to an approximate range of 2% to 5% fuel clad damage. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of fuel clad damage has occurred, it represents a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.

The radiation monitor reading in this threshold is higher than that specified for RCS Barrier Loss threshold D since it indicates a loss of both the Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier. Note that a combination of the two monitor readings appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with primary containment radiation.

RPV level cannot be restored and maintained GT -161 in. or cannot be determined Basis:

An RPV water level instrument reading of-161 in. indicates level is at the top of active fuel (TAF)

(ref. 1, 2). TAF is significantly lower than the normal operating RPV level control band. To reach this level, RPV inventory loss would have previously required isolation of the RCS and PC barriers, and initiation of all ECCS. If RPV water level cannot be maintained above TAF, ECCS and other sources of RPV injection have been ineffective or incapable of reversing the decreasing level trend. The cause of the loss of RPV inventory is therefore assumed to be a LOCA. By definition, a LOCA event is a Loss of the RCS barrier.

When RPV water level cannot be determined, EOPs require RPV flooding strategies. RPV water level

  • indication provides the primary means of knowing if adequate core cooling is being maintained. The instructions in PPM 5.1.4 and PPM 5.1.6 specify emergency depressurization of the RPV, which is defined to be a Loss of the RCS barrier (RCS Loss B threshold #2). (ref. 3, 4)

The conditions of this threshold are also a Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier (FC P-Loss A). A Loss of the RCS barrier and Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier requires a Site Area Emergency classification.

This water level corresponds to the top of active fuel and is used in the EOPs to indicate challenge to core cooling.

The RPV water level threshold is the same as the Fuel Clad barrier RPV Water Level Potential Loss threshold. Thus, this threshold indicates a Loss of the RCS barrier and Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier and that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency.

This threshold is considered to be exceeded when, as specified in the site-specific EOPs, RPV water cannot be restored and maintained above the specified level following depressurization of the RPV (either manually, automatically or by failure of the RCS barrier) or when procedural guidance or a lack of low pressure RPV injection sources preclude Emergency RPV depressurization.

UNISOLABLE break in any of the following:

The conditions of this threshold include required containment isolation failures allowing a flow path to the environment. A release pathway outside primary containment exists when flow is not prevented by downstream isolations. In the case of a failure of both isolation valves to close but in which no downstream flowpath exists, emergency declaration under this threshold would not be required .

Similarly, if the emergency response requires the normal process flow of a system outside containment (e.g., EOP requirement to bypass MSIV low RPV water level interlocks and maintain the main condenser as a heat sink using main turbine bypass valves), the threshold is not met. The combination of these threshold conditions represent the loss of both the RCS and Containment (see PC Loss E Threshold #1) barriers and justifies declaration of a Site Area Emergency (i.e., Loss or Potential Loss of any two barriers). (ref. 1-4)

Even though RWCU and Feedwater systems do not contain steam, they are included in the list because an unisolable break could result in the high-pressure discharge of fluid that is flashed to steam from relatively large volume systems directly connected to the RCS. (ref. 1)

Large high-energy lines that rupture outside primary containment can discharge significant amounts of inventory and jeopardize the pressure-retaining capability of the RCS until they are isolated. If it is determined that the ruptured line cannot be promptly isolated from the control room, the RCS barrier Loss threshold is met.

UNISOLABLE primary system leakage that results in exceeding EITHER:

RB area temperature alarm level (PPM 5.3.1 Table 23)

OR RB area radiation alarm level (PPM 5.3.1 Table 24)

Basis:

The presence of elevated general area temperatures or radiation levels in the secondary containment may be indicative of unisolable primary system leakage outside the primary containment. The PPM 5.3.1 Table 23 and Table 24 alarm levels define this RCS threshold because they are the maximum normal operating values and signify the onset of abnormal system operation. When parameters reach this level, equipment failure or misoperation may be occurring. Elevated parameters may also adversely affect the ability to gain access to or operate equipment within the affected area. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in PPM 5.3.1 Tables 23 and 24 (ref. 1).

Area temperature alarms are provided by the leak detection and reactor building recirculation air (RRA) systems (ref. 2)

The ARM alarm setpoints listed in Table 24 vary due to plant operating mode and Health Physics radiation surveys. A program is established to maintain the current setpoint values in PPM 4.602.A5 for annunciator window 3-1; thus, reference is made to the annunciator response procedure in Table 24. '

(ref. 2)

In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system is discharging outside primary containment. For example, a high area radiation condition does not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment since this may be caused by radiation shine from nearby steam lines or the movement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition in conjunction with other indications (e.g. room flooding, high area temperatures, reports of steam in the secondary containment, an unexpected rise in feedwater flowrate, or unexpected main turbine control valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment.

Potential loss of RCS based on primary system leakage outside the primary containment is determined from EOP temperature or radiation Max Normal Operating values in areas such as main steam line tunnel, RCIC, etc., which indicate a direct path from the RCS to areas outside primary containment.

A Max Normal Operating value is the highest value of the identified parameter expected to occur during normal plant operating conditions with all directly associated support and control systems functioning properly. *

PC pressure GT 1.68 psig due to RCS leakage Basis:

The drywell high pressure scram setpoint is an entry condition to the EOP flowcharts: PPM 5.1.1, RPV Control, and PPM 5.2.1, Primary Containment Control (ref. 1, 2, 3). Normal primary containment (PC) pressure control functions such as operation of drywell cooling and venting through SGT are specified in PPM 5.2.1 in advance of less desirable but more effective functions such as operation of drywell or wetwell sprays.

In the CGS design basis, primary containment pressures above the drywell high pressure scram setpoint are assumed to be the result of a high-energy release into the containment for which normal pressure control systems are inadequate or incapable of reversing the increasing pressure trend.

Pressures of this magnitude, however, can be caused by non-LOCA events such as a loss of drywell cooling or inability to control primary containment vent/purge (ref. 3).

The threshold phrase " ... due to RCS leakage" focuses the barrier failure on the RCS instead of the non-LOCA malfunctions that may adversely affect primary containment pressure. Primary containment pressure greater than 1.68 psig with corollary indications (e.g., elevated drywell temperature, indications of loss of RCS inventory) should therefore be considered a Loss of the RCS barrier. Loss of drywell cooling that results in pressure greater than 1.68 psig should not be considered an RCS barrier loss.

1.68 psig is the drywell high pressure setpoint which indicates a LOCA by automatically initiating the EGGS or equivalent makeup system.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with drywell pressure.

Four high range area radiation detectors (CMS-RE-27A, 8, E and F) are installed in the drywell. CMS-RE-27A and -278 are located in the bioshield wall at elevations 522' and 525', azimuth 60° and 297°,

respectively. CMS-RE-27E and -27F are located inside containment at elevation 515', azimuth 290° and 51.5°, respectively. The companion containment radiation monitors (CMS-RIS-27A, B, E and F) are located on RAD Boards 22 and 23 in the Main Control Room. (ref. 1)

The threshold value was calculated assurning the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with normal operating concentrations (i.e., within Technical Specifications) into the drywell atmosphere. Evaluation of detector location, geometry and

  • anticipated response suggests CMS-RIS-27E or F will provide the desired response to a given radiation source in the drywell and are, therefore, identified as the p,referred monitors for evaluating this RCS Loss threshold. (ref. 2)

The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the primary containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals Technical Specification allowable limits. This value is lower than that specified for Fuel Clad Barrier Loss threshold D.1 since it indicates a loss of the RCS Barrier only.

There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with primary containment radiation.

\ SAG entry required Basis:

EOP flowcharts provide instructions to assure adequate core cooling by restoring and maintaining RPV water level above prescribed limits, operate sufficient RPV injection sources to assure adequate core cooling, and assess the possibility of core damage when RPV level cannot be determined. The Fuel Clad Loss threshold conditions are the EOP flowchart conditions that signal a loss of adequate core cooling and a requirement to exit all EOPs and enter the SAGs (ref. 1-6).

This threshold is also a Loss of the RCS barrier (RCS Loss A) and a Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier (FC Loss A), and therefore represents a Loss of two barriers and a Potential Loss of a third, which requires a General Emergency classification.

The Potential Loss threshold is identical to the Fuel Clad Loss RPV Water Level threshold. The Potential Loss requirement for SAG entry indicates adequate core cooling cannot be restored and maintained and that core damage is possible. BWR EPGs/SAGs specify the conditions that require SAG entry. When SAG entry is required, the EPGs are exited and SAGs are entered. Entry into SAGs is a logical escalation in response to the inability to restore and maintain adequate core cooling.

PRA studies indicate that the condition of this Potential Loss threshold could be a core melt sequence which, if not corrected, could lead to RPV failure and increased potential for primary containment failure. In conjunction with the RPV water level Loss thresholds in the Fuel Clad and RCS barrier columns, this threshold results in the declaration of a General Emergency.

UNISOLABLE primary system leakage that results in exceeding EITHER:

RB area maximum safe operating temperature (PPM 5.3.1 Table 23)

OR RB area maximum safe operating radiation (PPM 5.3.1 Table 24)

Basis:

The presence of elevated general area temperatures or radiation levels in the Reactor Building (RB) may be indicative of unisolable primary system leakage outside the primary containment. The maximum safe operating values define this Containment barrier threshold because they are indicative of problems in the secondary containment that are spreading and pose a threat to achieving a safe plant shutdown. This threshold addresses problematic discharges outside primary containment that may not originate from a high-energy line break. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in PPM 5.3.1 Tables 23 and 24 (ref. 1).

RB maximum safe operating temperatures are conservatively defined by the qualification temperature of safety related equipment in the area. The equipment qualification program has proven that safety related equipment will perform satisfactorily to at least this temperature. In an area with multiple components and different qualification temperatures, the maximum safe operating temperature assigned to that area is generally the lowest of the individual temperatures. (ref. 2)

The maximum safe operating radiation value is defined to be 10,000 mR/hr in areas other than the refueling floor. This is the maximum indication on all but the high level instruments. This value is high enough to be indicative of substantial and immediate problems yet low enough to allow time for shutdown or isolation of a leak without exceeding the total integrated dose allowable for even the most sensitive safety related equipment. No area radiation levels are defined for the refueling floor because no primary systems are routed there. (ref. 2)

In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system is discharging outside primary containment. For example, a high area radiation condition does not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment since this may be caused by *radiation shine from nearby steam lines or the movement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition in conjunction with other indications (e.g. room flooding, high area temperatures, reports of steam in the secondary containment, an unexpected rise in feedwater flowrate, or unexpected main turbine control valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharging into the secondary containment.

The Max Safe Operating Temperature and the Max Safe Operating Radiation Level are each the highest value of these parameters at which neither: (1) equipment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will fail, nor (2) personnel access necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant will be precluded. EOPs utilize these temperatures and radiation levels to establish conditions under which RPV depressurization is required.

This indicator is considered to be a loss of both the RCS and PC barriers.

Normal LOCA conditions are drywell pressure rising with wetwell pressure following. Primary containment or drywell pressure responses not consistent with LOCA conditions indicate a loss of the primary containment barrier. This may be noticed as a decrease in drywell pressure when no operator action (e.g., starting drywell cooling fans) has been taken. It would also include a failure of the drywell pressure to increase as expected during a LOCA. Also, a loss of suppression function in conjunction with a LOCA would indicate a loss of the primary containment barrier. Exceeding Pressure Suppression Pressure (PSP) is an indication of loss of pressure suppression function .

This threshold relies on operator recognition of an unexpected response for the condition and therefore a specific value is not assigned. The unexpected (UNPLANNED) response is important because it is the indicator for a containment bypass condition.

If this threshold is exceeded, a challenge to the primary containment structure has occurred because assumptions used in the accident analysis are no longer valid and an unanalyzed condition exists (ref. 1, 2). This constitutes a Potential Loss of the Containment barrier even if a containment breach has not occurred.

The threshold pressure is the primary containment internal design pressure. Structural acceptance testing demonstrates the capability of the primary containment to resist pressures greater than the internal design pressure.

Explosive mixture exists inside PC (H 2 GE 6% and 02 GE 5%)

Basis:

Explosive (deflagration) mixtures in the primary containment are assumed to be elevated concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. BWR industry evaluation of hydrogen generation for development of EOPs/SAGs indicates that any hydrogen concentration above minimum detectable is not to be expected within the short term. Post-LOCA hydrogen generation primarily caused by radiolysis is a slowly evolving, long-term condition. Hydrogen concentrations that rapidly develop are most likely caused by metal-water reaction. A metal-water reaction is indicative of an accident more severe than accidents considered in *the plant design basis and would be indicative, therefore, of a potential threat to primary containment integrity. Hydrogen concentration of approximately 6% is considered the global deflagration concentration limit (ref. 1) .

  • Except for brief periods during plant startup and shutdown, oxygen concentration in the primary containment is maintained at insignificant levels by nitrogen inerting. The specified values for this Potential Loss threshold are the minimum global deflagration concentration limits (6% hydrogen and 5% oxygen, ref. 2) and readily recognizable because 6% hydrogen is well above the EOP flowchart entry condition (ref. 3). The,minimum global deflagration hydrogen/oxygen concentrations (6% / 5%,

respectively) require intentional primary containment venting, which is defined to be a Loss of Containment (PC Integrity or Bypass).

If hydrogen concentration reaches or exceeds the lower flammability limit, as defined in plant EOPs, in an oxygen rich environment, a potentially explosive mixture exists. If the combustible mixture ignites inside the primary containment, loss of the Containment barrier could occur.

Containment Radiation Monitor CMS-RIS-27E or CMS-RIS-27F reading GT 14,000 R/hr Basis:

Four high range area radiation detectors (CMS-RE-27A, B, E and F) are installed in the drywell.

CMS-RE-27A and -27B are located in the bioshield wall at elevations 522' and 525', azimuth 60° and 297°, respectively. CMS-RE-27E and -27F are located inside containment at elevation 515', azimuth 290° and 51.5°, respectively. The companion containment radiation monitors (CMS-RIS-27A, B, E and F) are located on RAD Boards 22 and 23 in the Main Control Room. (ref. 1)

The threshold value was calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with 20% fuel clad damage into the drywell atmosphere. Evaluation of detector location, geometry and anticipated response suggests CMS-RIS-27E or F will provide the desired response to a given radiation source in the drywell and are, therefore, identified as the preferred monitors for evaluating this Containment barrier Potential Loss threshold.

(ref. 2)

The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the primary containment, assuming that 20% of the fuel cladding has failed. This level of fuel clad failure is well above that used to determine the analogous Fuel Clad Barrier Loss and RCS Barrier Loss thresholds.

NUREG-1228, Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents, indicates the fuel clad failure must be greater than approximately 20% in order for there to be a major release of radioactivity requiring offsite protective actions. For this condition to exist there must already have been a loss of the RCS Barrier and the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is therefore prudent to treat this condition as a potential loss of containment which would then escalate the emergency classification level to a General Emergency.

UNISOLABLE direct downstream pathway to the environment exists after PC isolation signal Basis:

This threshold addresses failure of open isolation devices which should close upon receipt of a manual or automatic containment isolation signal resulting in a significant radiological release pathway directly to the environment. The concern is the unisolable open pathway to the environment. A failure of the ability to isolate any one line indicates a breach of containment integrity.

  • Leakage into a closed system is to be considered only if the closed system is breached and thereby creates a significant pathway to the environment. Examples include unisolable main steam line or RCIC steam line breaks, unisolable RWCU system breaks, and unisolable PC vent paths.

PPM 5.2.1, Primary Containment Control, may specify primary containment venting and intentional

  • bypassing of the containment isolation valve logic, even if offsite radioactivity release rate limits are exceeded (ref. 1). Under these conditions with a valid containment isolation signal, the Containment barrier should be considered lost.

The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems or minor release pathways, such as instrument lines, not protected by the Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS).

The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do not remove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due to iodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has been exceeded) or water saturation from steam/high humidity in the release stream.

Following the leakage of RCS mass into primary containment and a rise in primary containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable primary containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. Minor releases may also occur if a primary containment isolation valve(s) fails to close but the primary containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of primary containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category R ICs.

[ Intentional PC venting per EOPs Basis:

EOP flowcharts (PPM 5.2.1, Primary Containment Control) may specify primary containment venting and intentional bypassing of the containment isolation valve logic, even if offsite radioactivity release rate limits are exceeded (ref. 1). The threshold is met when the operator begins venting the primary containment in accordance with EOP Support Procedures (PPM 5.5.14 or PPM 5.5.15) or ABN-CONT-VENT, not when actions are taken to bypass interlocks prior to opening the vent valves (ref. 2, 3, 4).

Purge and vent actions specified in PPM 5.2.1 to control primary containment pressure below the drywell high pressure scram setpoint or to lower hydrogen concentration does not meet this threshold because such action is only permitted if offsite radioactivity release rates will remain below the ODCM RFO limits (ref. 1) .

EOPs may direct primary containment isolation valve logic(s) to be intentionally bypassed, even if offsite radioactivity release rate limits will be exceeded. Under these conditions with a valid primary containment isolation signal, the containment should also be considered lost if primary containment venting is actually performed.

Intentional venting of primary containment for primary containment pressure control to the secondary containment and/or the environment is a Loss of the Containment. Venting for primary containment pressure control when not in an accident situation (e.g., to control pressure below the drywell high pressure scram setpoint) does not meet the threshold condition.

Classifying The Emergency- Technical Bases Page: 98 of 190 Barrier: Containment Category: F. Emergency Director Judgment Degradation Threat: Potential Loss Threshold:

Any condition in the opinion of the Emergency Director that indicates potential loss of the Containment barrier Basis:

The Emergency Director judgment threshold addresses any other factors relevant to determining if the Containment barrier is potentially lost. Such a determination should include imminent barrier degradation, barrier monitoring capability and dominant accident sequences.

  • Imminent barrier degradation exists if the degradation will likely occur within two hours based on a projection of current safety system performance. The term "imminent" refers to recognition of the inability to reach safety acceptance criteria before completion of all checks.
  • Barrier monitoring capability is decreased if there is a loss or lack of reliable indicators. This assessment should include instrumentation operability concerns, readings from portable instrumentation and consideration of offsite monitoring results.
  • Dominant accident sequences lead to degradation of all fission product barriers and likely entry to the EOPs. The Emergency Director should be mindful of the Loss of AC power (Station Blackout) and A TWS EALs to assure timely emergency classification declarations.

This threshold addresses any other factors that may be used by the Emergency Director in determining whether the Containment Barrier is lost.

Classifying The Emergency- Technical Bases Page: 99 of 190 Category H - Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety EAL Group: ANY (EALs in this category are applicable to any plant condition, hot or cold.)

Hazards are non-plant, system-related events that can directly or indirectly affect plant operation, reactor plant safety or personnel safety.

1. Security Unauthorized entry attempts into the Protected Area, bomb threats, sabotage attempts, and actual security compromises threatening loss of physical control of the plant.
2. Seismic Event Natural events such as earthquakes have potential to cause plant structure or equipment damage of sufficient magnitude to threaten personnel or plant safety.
3. Natural or Technology Hazard Other natural and non-naturally occurring events that can cause damage to plant facilities include tornados, FLOODING, hazardous material releases and events restricting site access warranting classification .
  • 4. Fire Fires can pose significant hazards to personnel and reactor safety. Appropriate for classification are fires within the site Protected Area or which may affect operability of equipment needed for safe shutdown.
5. Hazardous Gas Toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant or flammable gas leaks can affect normal plant operations or preclude access to plant areas required to safely shutdown the plant.
6. Control Room Evacuation If the Control Room must be evacuated, additional support for monitoring and controlling plant functions is necessary through the emergency response facilities.
7. Emergency Director Judgment The EALs defined in other categories specify the predetermined symptoms or events that are indicative of emergency or potential emergency conditions and thus warrant classification. While these EALs have been developed to address the full spectrum of possible emergency conditions which may warrant classification and subsequent implementation of the Emergency Plan, a provision for classification of emergencies based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The EALs of this category provide the Emergency Director the latitude to classify emergency conditions consistent with the established classification criteria based upon Emergency Director judgment.

The Safeguards Contingency Plan (Appendix C of CGS Physical Security Plan) defines the events that meet the criteria of a SECURITY CONDITION or HOSTILE ACTION (ref. 1) .

This IC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the PROTECTED AREA. This event will require rapid response and assistance due to the possibility for damage to plant equipment.

Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event.

Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program].

As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). The Site Area Emergency declaration will mobilize Offsite Response Organization (ORO) resources and have them available to develop and implement public protective actions in the unlikely event that the attack is successful in impairing multiple safety functions.

This IC does not apply to a HOSTILE ACTION directed at an ISFSI PROTECTED AREA located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA; such an attack should be assessed using IC HA 1. It also does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFR § 73.71 or 10 CFR § 50.72.

Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the CGS Physical Security Plan (ref. 1) .

1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 s I def 1 Basis:

CGS seismic instrumentation consists of a Kinemetrics SMA-3 Strong Motion Accelerograph and associated sensors that are equipped with seismic triggers set to initiate recording at an acceleration equal to or exceeding 0.01 g (ref. 1, 2). This also annunciates the seismic activity alarm H13.P851.S1.2-5 Minimum Seismic Earthquake Exceeded (ref. 2, 3, 4).

A seismic switch unit that is similar to the seismic trigger unit is also provided. The trip point of the seismic switch unit is set at the maximum acceleration corresponding to the OBE, and it provides immediate Control Room annunciation that the OBE has been exceeded requiring declaration of an Unusual Event (ref. 1, 3, 4)

This IC addresses a seismic event that results in accelerations at the plant site greater than those specified for an Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). An earthquake greater than an OBE but less than a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) should have no significant impact on safety-related systems, structures and components; however, some time may be required for the plant staff to ascertain the actual post-event condition of the plant (e.g., performs walk-downs and post-event inspections). Given the time necessary to perform walk-downs and inspections, and fully understand any impacts, this event represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

Event verification with external sources should not be necessary during or following an OBE.

Earthquakes of this magnitude should be readily felt by on-site personnel and recognized as a seismic event (e.g., lateral accelerations in excess of 0.08g). The Shift Manager or Emergency may seek external verification if deemed appropriate (e.g., a call to the USGS, check internet news sources, etc.);

however, the verification action must not preclude a timely emergency declaration.

Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or MAB.

The 30 minute requirement begins upon receipt of a single valid 1 fire detection system alarm. The alarm is to be validated using available Control Room indications or alarms to prove that it is not spurious, or by reports from the field. Actual field reports must be made within the 30 minute time limit or a classification must be made. If a fire is verified to be occurring by field report, classification shall be made based on EAL HU4.1.

A single point fire alarm, with no other indications of a fire, may be more indicative of an instrumentation issue rather than a fire in the plant.

The concept of this EAL is that there is 30 minutes to determine if a fire exists when only one fire alarm

. is received.

The Table 5 Safe Shutdown Areas include those structures/areas that contain any Class 1, 2 or 3 SSC.

Table 5 includes those structures containing functions and systems required to achieve and maintain cold shutdown (including all auxiliary equipment such as AC/DC power, cooling water and instrumentation) (ref. 1).

This IC addresses the magnitude and extent of FIRES that may be indicative of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

This EAL addresses receipt of a single fire alarm, and the existence of a FIRE is not verified (i.e.,

proved or disproved) within 30-minutes of the alarm. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of a single fire alarm. For EAL assessment purposes, the 30-minute clock starts at the time that the initial alarm was received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed.

A single fire alarm, absent other indication(s) of a FIRE, may be indicative of equipment failure or a spurious activation, and not an actual FIRE. For !his reason, additional time is allowed to verify the validity of the alarm. The 30-minute period is a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual FIRE exists; however, after that time, and absent information to the contrary, it is assumed that an actual FIRE is in progress.

  • If an actual FIRE is verified by a report from the field, then HU4.1 is immediately applicable, and the emergency must be declared if the FIRE is not extinguished within 15-minutes of the report. If the alarm is verified to be due to an equipment failure or a spurious activation, and this verification occurs within 30-minutes of the receipt of the alarm, then this EAL is not applicable and no emergency declaration is warranted.

Basis-Related Requirements from Appendix R Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, states in part:

Criterion 3 of Appendix A to this part specifies that "Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions."

When considering the effects of fire, those systems associated with achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions assume major importance to safety because damage to them can lead to core damage resulting from loss of coolant through boil-off.

Because fire may affect safe shutdown systems and because the loss of function of systems used

These thresholds reflect the potential issues that can arise from a fire in other areas of the plant for greater than one-hour or a fire requiring offsite fire department to actively support firefighting efforts because the fire is beyond the capability of the Fire Brigade to extinguish.

Basis:

This IC addresses the magnitude and extent of FIRES that may be indicative of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

Threshold #1 In addition to a FIRE addressed by EAL HU4.1 or HU4.2, a FIRE within the plant PROTECTED AREA not extinguished within 60-minutes may also potentially degrade the level of plant safety. This basis extends to a FIRE occurring within the PROTECTED AREA of an ISFSI located outside the plant PROTECTED AREA.

Threshold #2 If a FIRE within the plant or ISFSI PROTECTED AREA is of sufficient size to require a response by an offsite firefighting agency (e.g., a local town Fire Department), then the level of plant safety is potentially degraded. The dispatch of an offsite firefighting agency to the site requires an emergency declaration only if it is needed to actively support firefighting efforts because the fire is beyond the capability of the Fire Brigade to extinguish. Declaration is not necessary if the agency resources are placed on stand-by, or supporting post-extinguishment recovery or investigation actions.

Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or MAS.

The list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability identified specify those rooms or areas that contain equipment which require a manual/local action as specified in operating procedures used for normal plant operation, cooldown and shutdown. Rooms or areas in which actions of a contingent or emergency nature would be performed (e.g., an action to address an off-normal or emergency condition such as emergency repairs, corrective measures or emergency operations) are not included. In addition, the list specifies the plant mode(s) during which entry would be required for each room or area (ref. 1).

This IC addresses an event involving a release of a hazardous gas that precludes or impedes access to equipment necessary to maintain normal plant operation, or required for a normal plant cooldown and shutdown. This condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

An Alert declaration is warranted if entry into the affected room/area is, or may be, procedurally required during the plant operating mode in effect at the time of the gaseous release. The emergency

_classification is not contingent upon whether entry is actually necessary at the time of the release.

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 117of 190 Evaluation of the IC and EAL do not require atmospheric sampling; it only requires the Emergency Director's judgment that the gas concentration in the affected room/area is sufficient to preclude or significantly impede procedurally required access. This judgment may be based on a variety of factors including an existing job hazard analysis, report of ill effects on personnel, advice from a subject matter expert or operating experience with the same or similar hazards. Access should be considered as impeded if extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected room/area (e.g., requiring use of protective equipment,. such as SCBAs, that is not routinely employed).

An emergency declaration is not warranted if any of the following conditions apply:

  • The plant is in an operating mode different than the mode specified for the affected room/area (i.e., entry is not required during the operating mode in effect at the time of the gaseous release). For example, the plant is in Mode 1 when the gaseous release occurs, and the procedures used for normal operation, cooldown and shutdown do not require entry into the affected room until Mode 4.
  • The gas release is a planned activity that includes compensatory measures which address the temporary inaccessibility of a room or area (e.g., fire suppression system testing) .
  • The action for which room/area entry is required is of an administrative or record keeping nature (e.g., normal rounds or routine inspections).
  • The access control measures are of a conservative or precautionary nature, and would not actually prevent or impede a required action.

An asphyxiant is a gas capable of reducing the level of oxygen in the body to dangerous levels. Most commonly, asphyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment. This reduces the concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness or even death.

This EAL does not apply to firefighting activities that automatically or manually activate a fire suppression system in an area, or to intentional inerting of containment.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via Recognition Category R, C or F ICs.

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 124 of 190 Category M - System Malfunction EAL Group: Hot Conditions (RCS temperature GT 200°F);

EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more hot operating modes.

Numerous system-related equipment failure events that warrant emergency classification have been identified in this category. They may pose actual or potential threats to plant safety.

The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

1. Loss of Emergency AC Power Loss of emergency electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite sources for emergency AC buses.
2. Loss of vital DC Power Loss of vital electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of power to or degraded voltage on the vital 125 VDC buses.
3. Loss of Control Room Indications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively assess plant conditions within the*

plant warrant emergency classification. Losses of indicators are in this subcategory.

4. RCS Activity During normal operation, reactor coolant fission product activity is very low. Small concentrations of fission products in the coolant are primarily from the fission of tramp uranium in the fuel clad or minor perforations in the clad itself. Any significant increase from these base-line levels (2% - 5%

clad failures) is indicative of fuel failures and is covered under the Fission Product Barrier Degradation category. However, lesser amounts of clad damage may result in coolant activity exceeding Technical Specification limits. These fission products will be circulated with the reactor coolant and can be detected by coolant sampling.

5. RCS Leakage The reactor pressure vessel provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The reactor pressure vessel and associated pressure piping (reactor coolant system) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail. Excessive RCS leakage greater than Technical Specification limits indicates potential pipe cracks that may propagate to an extent threatening fuel clad, RCS and Containment integrity.
6. RPS Failure This subcategory includes events related to failure of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) to initiate and complete reactor scrams. In the plant licensing basis, postulated failures of the RPS to complete a reactor scram comprise a specific set of analyzed events referred to as Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) events. For EAL classification, however, A TWS is intended to mean any trip failure event that does not achieve reactor shutdown. If RPS actuation fails to assure reactor shutdown, positive control of reactivity is at risk and could cause a threat to fuel clad, RCS and Containment integrity.

Four hours is the station blackout coping time (ref. 2).

Indication of continuing core cooling degradation is manifested by the inability to restore and maintain RPV water level above the Minimum Steam Cooling Reactor Water Level (-186 in.) (ref. 3).

Core submergence is the most desirable means of core cooling, however when RPV level is below TAF, the uncovered portion of the core can be cooled by less reliable means (i.e., steam cooling or spray cooling).

This IC addresses a prolonged loss of all power sources to AC emergency buses. A loss of all AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A prolonged loss of these buses will lead to a loss of one or more fission product barriers. In addition, fission product barrier monitoring capabilities may be degraded under these conditions.

The EAL should require declaration of a General Emergency prior to meeting the thresholds for IC FG1.

This will allow additional time for implementation of offsite protective actions.

Escalation of the emergency classification from Site Area Emergency will occur if it is projected that power cannot be restored to at least one AC emergency bus by the end of the analyzed station blackout coping period. Beyond this time, plant responses and event trajectory are subject to greater uncertainty, and there is an increased likelihood of challenges to multiple fission product barriers.

The estimate for restoring at least one essential bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation. Mitigation actions with a low probability of success should not be used as a basis for delaying a classification upgrade. The goal is to maximize the time available to prepare for, and implement, protective actions for the public.

  • This EAL addresses operating experience from the March 2011 accident at Fukushima Daiichi.

The 125 VDC Class 1E DC power system consists of three electrically independent and separate distribution systems (S1-1, S1-2, and S1-HPCS) (ref. 2). S1-HPCS is not included in this EAL. Each DC distribution system has a battery and a battery charger that are normally connected to the bus such that these two sources of power are operating in parallel. The charger is normally supplying system electrical loads with the battery on a float charge. Each battery has the necessary amp-hour discharge capacity to sustain system loads for a minimum of two hours. This capacity is specifically for a loss of power to the charger coincident with a design basis accident. The batteries have capacity to carry design load at 60°F without decreasing battery voltage below 1.81 volts/cell (or 108 VDC, ref. 3) with loss of output from the battery chargers during the specified period. Battery capacity is sufficient to provide starting currents while operating at full load. (ref. 1, 3). '

This IC addresses a concurrent and prolonged loss of both emergency AC and Vital DC power. A loss of all emergency AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A loss of vital DC power compromises the ability to monitor and control SAFETY SYSTEMS. A sustained loss of both emergency AC and vital DC power will lead to multiple challenges to fission product barriers.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. The 15-minute emergency declaration clock begins at the point when both EAL thresholds are met.

This IC addresses the difficulty associated. with monitoring rapidly changing plant conditions during a transient withou~ the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room.

During this condition, the margin to a potential fission product barrier challenge is reduced. It thus represents a potential substantial degradation in the level of safety of the plant.

As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for on'3 or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog, digital and recorder source within the Control Room.

An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems is evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022) to determine if an NRG event report is required. The event would be reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedures addressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective action decision-making.

This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, RPV level and RCS heat removal. The loss of the ability to determine one or more

The main condenser offgas gross gamma activity rate is an initial condition of the Main Condenser Offgas System failure event. The gross gamma activity rate is controlled to ensure that during the event, the calculated offsite doses will be well within the limits of 10 CFR 50.67 (ref. 1).

SJAE CONDSR OUTLET RAD HI HI monitor and alarm, OG-RIS-612 (GE 2300 mR/hr), senses the offgas effluent and, therefore, may be one of the first indicators of degrading fuel conditions.

  • Basis:

Pressure boundary leakage is defined to be leakage through a non-isolable fault in a RCS component body, pipe wall, or vessel wall.

This EAL does not apply to relief valves performing their normal design function.

Unidentified leakage is defined to be all leakage into the drywell that is not identified leakage.

Identified leakage is defined to be leakage into the drywell such as that from pump seals or valve packing, that is captured and conducted to a sump; or leakage into the drywell atmosphere from sources that are both specifically located and known either not to interfere with the operation of leakage detection systems or not to be pressure boundary leakage. (ref. 1)

The Leak Detection (LD) system is designed to monitor leakage from the reactor coolant pressure boundary and to isolate this leakage when limits are exceeded. Systems or parts of systems that are in direct communication with the reactor vessel (form part of the primary coolant pressure boundary) are provided with leakage detection systems. (ref. 2-8)

Drain flow from the drywell equipment and floor drain sumps is monitored and recorded (EDR-FRS-623) on P632. The flow rate for unidentified leakage in the EAL is equal to the full scale reading on EDR-FRS-623 Pen 1.

Leakage not explicitly identified by installed instrumentation requires analysis and declaration clock starts*at completion of analysis. This includes use of alternate means.

As an alternate means, leaks within the drywell are detected by monitoring for abnormally high:

  • Pressure or temperature inside the drywell
  • Fill up rates of equipment and floor drain sumps
  • Containment leak detection rad monitors (CMS-SR-20/21)

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 142 of 190 Outside Containment leakage may require analysis to quantify leak rate GT 25 gpm and declaration clock starts at completion of analysis.

Examples of outside Containment leakage include:

  • Instrument line break in the RX building with failure to isolate
  • Rx Building sump fill timers due to RCS leakage RFW and RCC are not considered part of RCS leakage for this EAL.

For classification under this EAL, RCS leakage includes a broken SRV tailpipe that is discharging into the drywell or wetwell airspace. Once the SRV is closed, however, this RCS leakage path is considered isolated.

This IC addresses RCS leakage which may be a precursor to a more significant event. In this case, RCS leakage has been detected and operators, following applicable procedures, have been unable to promptly isolate the leak. This condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

Threshold #1 and threshold #2 are focused on a loss of mass from the RCS due to "unidentified leakage", "pressure boundary leakage" or "identified leakage" (as these leakage types are defined in the plant Technical Specifications). Threshold #3 addresses an RCS mass loss caused by an UNISOLABLE leak through an interfacing system. These conditions thus apply to leakage into the

. containment, or a location outside of containment.

The leak rate values for each threshold were selected because they are usually observable with normal Control Room indications. Lesser values typically require time-consuming calculations to determine (e.g., a mass balance calculation). Threshold #1 uses a lower value that reflects the greater significance of unidentified or pressure boundary leakage.

A stuck-open Safety Relief Valve (SRV) or SRV leakage is not considered either identified or unidentified leakage by Technical Specifications and, therefore, is not applicable to this EAL.

The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to isolate the leakage, if possible.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs of Recognition Category R or F.

This EAL addresses the following:

  • Any automatic reactor scram signal followed by a manual scram that fails to shut down the reactor to an extent the reactor is producing energy in excess of the heat load for which the safety systems were designed (EAL MA6.1), and
  • Indications that either core cooling is extremely challenged or heat removal is extremely challenged.

Reactor shutdown achieved by use of control rod insertion methods in PPM 5.5.11 is also credited as a successful manual scram provided reactor power can be reduced below the APRM downscale trip setpoint before indications of an extreme challenge to either core cooling or heat removal exist. (ref. 1)

I The APRM downscale trip setpoint (5%) is a minimum reading on the power range scale that indicates power production. It also approximates the decay heat which the shutdown systems were designed to remove and is indicative of a condition requiring immediate response to prevent subsequent core damage. Below the APRM downscale trip setpoint, plant response will be similar to that observed during a normal shutdown. Nuclear instrumentation (APRM) indications or other reactor parameters (steam flow, RPV pressure, wetwell temperature trend) can be used to determine if reactor power is greater than 5% power (ref. 2).

The combination of failure of both front line and backup protection systems to function in response to a plant transient, along with the continued production of heat, poses a direct threat to the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers .

Title:

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 144 of 190 Indication that core cooling is extremely challenged is manifested by inability to restore and maintain RPV water level above the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL) (ref. 3). The MSCRWL is the lowest RPV level at which the covered portion of the reactor core will generate sufficient steam to prevent any clad temperature in the uncovered part of the core from exceeding 1500°F. This water level is utilized in the EOPs to preclude fuel damage when RPV level is below the top of active fuel. RPV level below the MSCRWL for an extended period of time without satisfactory core spray cooling could be a precursor of a core melt sequence.

The Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (HCTL) is the highest suppression pool water temperature from which Emergency RPV Depressurization will not raise suppression pool temperature above the maximum design suppression pool temperature.

The HCTL is a function of RPV pressure and wetwell level. It is utilized to preclude failure of the containment and equipment in the containment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant (ref. 4).

This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor scram that results in a reactor shutdown, all subsequent operator actions to manually shutdown the reactor are unsuccessful, and continued power generation is challenging the capability to adequately remove heat from the core and/or the RCS. This condition will lead to fuel damage if additional mitigation actions are unsuccessful and thus warrants the declaration of a Site Area Emergency.

In some instances, the emergency classification resulting from this IC/EAL may be higher than that resulting from an assessment of the plant responses and symptoms against the Recognition Category F ICs/EALs. This is appropriate in that the Recognition Category F ICs/EALs do not address the additional threat posed by a failure to shut down the reactor. The inclusion of this IC and EAL ensures the timely declaration of a Site Area Emergency in response to prolonged failure to shutdown the reactor.

A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable Emergency Operating Procedure criteria.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RG1 or FG1.

This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. If this action(s) is unsuccessful, operators would immediately pursue additional manual actions at locations away from the reactor control console (e.g., locally opening breakers). Actions taken at backpanels or other locations within the control room, or any location outside the control room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control console".

Taking the reactor mode switch to shutdown is considered to be a manual scram action.

The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor scram will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If the failure to shut down the reactor is prolonged enough to cause a challenge to RPV water level or RCS heat removal safety functions, the emergency classification level will escalate to a Site Area Emergency via IC MS6.

Depending upon plant responses and symptoms, escalation is also possible via IC FS1. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC MS6 or FS1, an Alert declaration is appropriate for this event.

It is recognized that plant responses or symptoms may also require an Alert declaration in accordance with the Recognition Category F ICs; however, this IC and EAL are included to ensure a timely emergency declaration.

This EAL addresses a failure of an automatic or manually initiated scram and a subsequent automatic or manual scram is successful in shutting down the reactor (reactor power LE 5%) (ref.1).

A successful scram has occurred when there is sufficient rod insertion from the trip of RPS to bring the reactor power to or below the APRM downscale trip setpoint of 5%. For the purposes of this EAL, a successful automatic initiation of ARI that reduces reactor power to or below 5% is a not a successful automatic scram. (ref. 2, 3, 4, 5)

For the purposes of emergency classification at the Unusual Event level, successful manual scram actions are those which can be quickly performed from the reactor control console (i.e., mode switch, manual scram pushbuttons, and manual ARI actuation). Reactor shutdown achieved by use of the alternate control rod insertion methods of PPM 5.5.11 does not constitute a successful manual scram (ref. 6).

Following any automatic RPS scram signal plant procedures prescribe insertion of redundant manual scram signals to back up the automatic RPS scram function and ensure reactor shutdown is achieved.

Even if the first subsequent manual scram signal inserts all control rods to the full-in position immediately after the initial failure of the automatic scram, the lowest level of classification that must be declared is an Unusual Event.

The operating mode change associated with movement of the Mode Switch, by itself, does not justify failure to declare an emergency for A TWS events.

If both subsequent automatic and subsequent manual reactor scram actions in the Control Room fail, the event escalates to an Alert under EAL MA6.1.

This IC addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor scram that results in a reactor shutdown, and either a subsequent operator manual action taken at the reactor control consoles or an automatic scram is successful in shutting down the reactor.

  • Page: 148 of 190 precursor to a more significant condition and thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
  • Following the failure on an automatic reactor scram, operators will promptly initiate manual actions at the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor scram). If these manual actions are successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems.

If an initial manual reactor scram is unsuccessful, operators will promptly take manual action at another location(s) on the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor scram1 using a different switch). Depending upon several factors, the initial or subsequent effort to manually scram the reactor, or a concurrent plant condition, may lead to the generation of an automatic reactor scram signal. If a subsequent manual or automatic scram is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems.

A manual action at the reactor control consoles is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor scram). This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies.

Actions taken at back-panels or other locations within the control room, or any location outside the control room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control consoles".

Taking the reactor mode switch to shutdown is considered to be a manual scram action.

The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor scram will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are also unsuccessful in shutting down the reactor, then the emergency classification level will escalate to an alert via IC MAS. Depending upon the plant response, escalation is also possible via IC FA 1. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC MAS or FA 1, an unusual event declaration is appropriate for this event.

A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable emergency operating procedure criteria.

Should a reactor scram signal be generated as a result of plant work (e.g., RPS setpoint testing), the following classification guidance should be applied.

and should be evaluated.

  • If the signal does not cause a plant transient and the scram failure is determined through other means (e.g., assessment of test results), then this IC and the EALs are not applicable and no classification is warranted.

Plant Radio System Operations and Security Channels The radio communications system is used for communications with personnel involved in maintenance and security in and around the plant complex by means of hand-held portable radio units, mobile radio units, and paging receivers. The telephone link to BPA provides a direct communication link to the BPA Dittmer Control Center. The radio communications system provides a communications link for security and emergency communications to local law enforcement agencies and emergency control centers.

Offsite calling capability from the Control Room via direct telephone and fax lines This communications method includes following dedicated phone networks that are available for emergency communications in addition to the normal Energy Northwest phone network:

  • Energy Northwest Emergency Center Network
  • Response Agency Network
  • NRC Emergency Notification System Various locations such as the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, Joint Information Center, Department of Energy-RL, Washington State Emergency Operations Center, Oregon State Emergency Coordination Center and the Benton and Franklin County Emergency Operations Centers have facsimile transceivers. The facsimile transceivers enable the transmission and receipt of printed material. The facsimile system which connects the Energy Northwest emergency centers with the county and state emergency centers uses dedicated phone lines.

Long distance calling capability on the commercial phone system The Energy Northwest Richland phone system is a computer based, software controlled telephone exchange (Computerized Branch Exchange). It is equipped with redundant computerized processor units and is served by an uninterruptible power supply. The direct-dial private telephone system provides communication between the Energy Northwest facilities. The phone system is arranged such that plant telephones can reach other Energy Northwest facilities by direct-dialing and without the need of an operator.

This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events.

Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.

VISIBLE DAMAGE addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation and that potentially could cause performance issues. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. This VISIBLE DAMAGE should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.

The significance of a seismic event is discussed under EAL HU2.1 (ref. 1).

Internal FLOODING may be caused by events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, or outage activity mishaps (ref. 2).

Seismic Category I structures are analyzed to withstand a sustained, design wind velocity of at least 100 mph (ref. 3).

Areas containing functions and systems required for safe shutdown of the plant are identified by Fire Areas in the fire response procedure (ref. 4).

The potential for volcanic eruption exists in the Pacific Northwest. Heavy ash fall, such as that experienced at certain locations following the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, could affect operation of plant equipment if precautionary measures are not taken. The design basis ash fall is projected for a twenty hour duration (ref. 5).

Table 5 provides a list of CGS safety system structures/areas (ref. 6). Table 8 provides a list of hazardous events.

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 156 of 190 Category R - Abnormal Rad Release / Rad Effluent EAL Group: ANY (EALs in this category are applicable to any plant condition, hot or cold.)

Many EALs are based on actual or potential degradation of fission product barriers because of the elevated potential for offsite radioactivity release. Degradation of fission product barriers though is not always apparent via non-radiological symptoms. Therefore, direct indication of elevated radiological effluents or area radiation levels are appropriate symptoms for emergency classification.

At lower levels, abnormal radioactivity releases may be indicative of a failure of containment systems or precursors to more significant releases. At higher release rates, offsite radiological conditions may result which require offsite protective actions. Elevated area radiation levels in the plant may also be indicative of the failure of containment systems or preclude access to plant vital equipment necessary to ensure plant safety.

Events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

1. Radiological Effluent Direct indication of effluent radiation monitoring systems provides a rapid assessment mechanism to determine releases in excess of classifiable limits. Projected offsite doses, actual offsite field measurements or measured release rates via sampling indicate doses or dose rates above classifiable limits.
  • 2. Irradiated Fuel Event Conditions indicative of a loss of adequate shielding or damage to irradiated fuel may preclude access to vital plant areas or result in radiological releases that warrant emergency classification.
3. Area Radiation Levels Sustained general area radiation levels which may preclude access to areas requiring continuous occupancy also warrant emergency classification .

Per NEI 99-01, this EAL addresses normally occurring continuous radioactivity releases from monitored gaseous or liquid effluent pathways and planned batch releases from releases from non-continuous release pathways. The column "UE" gaseous release values in Table 3 represent two times the appropriate ODCM release rate limits associated with the specified monitors (ref. 1, 2, 3, 4).

The Radwaste Effluent monitor (FDR-RIS-606) Hi-Hi alarm is established per a discharge permit and should be multiplied by 2 to determine the effluent threshold.

This IC addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g., an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored, including those for which a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared.

Nuclear power plants incorporate design features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these features and/or controls.

Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions.

Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.

Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL.

Threshold #1 - This threshold addresses normally occurring continuous radioactivity releases from monitored gaseous or liquid effluent pathways as well as radioactivity releases that cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed 2 times the limit established by a radioactivity discharge permit.

This EAL may also be associated with planned batch releases from non-continuous release pathways (e.g., radwaste, waste gas).

Threshold #2 - This threshold addresses uncontrolled gaseous or liquid releases that are detected by sample analyses or environmental surveys, particularly on unmonitored pathways (e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.).

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RA 1.

1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 s I def 1 Basis:

The spent fuel pool is designed to maintain the water level in the pool above the top of active fuel providing cooling for the fuel bundles.

This EAL is applicable for conditions in which irradiated fuel is being transferred to and from the RPV and spent fuel pool as well as for spent fuel pool drain down events.

This IC addresses events that have caused imminent or actual damage to an irradiated fuel assembly, or a significant lowering of water level within the spent fuel pool. These events present radiological safety challenges to plant personnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment.

  • As such, they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

This EAL applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage up to the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. Once sealed, damage to a loaded cask causing loss of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is classified in accordance with EU1 .1.

Escalation of the emergency would be based on either Recognition Category R or C ICs.

This EAL escalates from RU2.1 in that the loss of level, in the affected portion of the REFUEL PATHWAY, is of sufficient magnitude to have resulted in uncovery of irradiated fuel. Indications of irradiated fuel uncovery may include direct or indirect visual observation (e.g., reports from personnel or camera images), as well as significant changes in water and radiation levels, or other plant parameters.

Computational aids may also be used (e.g., a boil-off curve). Classification of an event using this EAL should be based on the totality of available indications, reports and observations.

While an area radiation monitor could detect an increase in a dose rate due to a lowering of water level in some portion of the REFUEL PATHWAY, the reading may not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is actually uncovered. To the degree possible, readings should be considered in combination with other available indications of inventory loss.

A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refuel modes.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RS1.

The fuel pool low level alarm is actuated by level switch FP-LS-4A when fuel pool water level drops below 605' 5-1/2". SFP level is can be determined by FPC-Ll-21, FPC-LIT-21A, FPC-LIT-218 or local indication (ref. 1, 2, 3).

ifhis EAL is applicable for conditions in which irradiated fuel is being transferred to and from the RPV and spent fuel pool as well as for spent fuel pool drain down events.

ARM-RIS-1 and ARM-RIS-2 are located in the fuel pool area of the 606' elevation of the Reactor Building. ARM-RIS-34 is located on the east side of the 606' elevation of the Reactor Building (ref. 4).

This IC addresses a decrease in water level above irradiated fuel sufficient to cause elevated radiation levels. This condition could be a precursor to a more serious event and is also indicative of a minor loss in the ability to control radiation levels within the plant. It is therefore a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.

A water level decrease will be primarily determined by indications from available level instrumentation.

Other sources of level indications may include reports from plant personnel (e.g., from a Refuel crew) or video camera observations (if available). A significant drop in the water level may also cause an increase in the radiation levels of adjacent areas that can be detected by monitors in those locations.

The effects of planned evolutions should be considered. For example, a Refuel bridge area radiation monitor reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as lifting of the reactor vessel head or movement of a fuel assembly. Note that this EAL is applicable only in cases where the elevated reading

  • is due to an unplanned loss of water level.

A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refuel modes.

The ARM alarm setpoints are controlled by procedure.

REA-RIS-609A-D are the Reactor Building Exhaust Plenum radiation monitors. This system monitors the radiation level of the reactor building ventilation system exhaust plenum prior to its discharge from the building into the elevated release duct. A high radioactivity level in the exhaust system could be due to fission gases from damaged or leaking spent fuel or an accident (ref. 2). Actuation of the High-High alarm actuates a Secondary Containment isolation and starts SGT (ref. 3).

This IC addresses events that have caused imminent or actual damage to an irradiated fuel assembly, or a significant lowering of water level within the spent fuel pool. These events present radiological safety challenges to plant personnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment.

As such, they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

This EAL addresses a release of radioactive material caused by mechanical damage to irradiated fuel.

Damaging events may include the dropping, bumping or binding of an assembly, or dropping a heavy load onto an assembly. A rise in readings on radiation monitors should be considered in conjunction with in-plant reports or observations of a potential fuel damaging event (e.g., a fuel handling accident).

This EAL addresses events that have caused imminent or actual damage to an irradiated fuel assembly, or a significant lowering of water level within the spent fuel pool. These events present radiological safety challenges to plant personnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment. As such, they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refuel modes.

Spent fuel pool water level at this value is within the lower end of the level range necessary to prevent significant dose consequences from direct gamma radiation to personnel performing operations in the vicinity of the spent fuel pool. This condition reflects a significant loss of spent fuel pool water inventory and thus it is also a precursor to a loss of the ability to adequately cool the irradiated fuel assembles stored in the pool.

Classifying The Emergency - Technical Bases Page: 179 of 190 This IC addresses elevated radiation levels in certain plant rooms/areas sufficient to preclude or impede personnel from performing actions necessary to maintain normal plant operation, or to perform a normal plant cooldown and shutdown. As such, it represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The Emergency Director should consider the cause of the increased radiation levels and determine if another IC may be applicable.

For threshold #2, an Alert declaration is warranted if entry into the affected room/area is, or may be, procedurally required during the plant operating mode in effect at the time of the elevated radiation levels. The emergency classification is not contingent upon whether entry is actually necessary at the time of the increased radiation levels. Access should be considered as impeded if extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected room/area (e.g., installing temporary shielding, requiring use of non-routine protective equipment, requesting an extension in dose limits beyond normal administrative limits).

An emergency declaration is not warranted if any of the following conditions apply.

  • The plant is in an operating mode different than the mode specified for the affected room/area (i.e., entry is not required during the operating mode in effect at the time of the elevated radiation levels). For example, the plant is in Mode 1 when the radiation increase occurs, and the procedures used for normal operation, cooldown and shutdown do not require entry into the affected room until Mode 4.
  • The increased radiation levels are a result of a planned activity that includes compensatory measures which address the temporary inaccessibility of a room or area (e.g., radiography, spent filter or resin transfer, etc.).
  • The action for which room/area entry is required is of an administrative or record keeping nature (e.g., normal rounds or routine inspections).
  • The access control measures are of a conservative or precautionary nature, and would not actually prevent or impede a required action.

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via Recognition Category R, C or F ICs.

Background

NEI 99-01 Revision 6 ICs AA3 and HAS prescribe declaration of an Alert based on impeded access to rooms or areas (due to either area radiation levels or hazardous gas concentrations) where equipment necessary for normal plant operations, cooldown or shutdown is located. These areas are intended to be plant operating mode dependent. Specifically the Developers Notes for AA3 and HAS states:

The "site-specific list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability identified" should specify those rooms or areas that contain equipment which require a manual/local action as specified in operating procedures used for normal plant operation, coo/down and shutdown. Do not include rooms or areas in which actions of a contingent or emergency nature would be performed (e.g., an action to address an off-normal or emergency condition such as emergency repairs, corrective measures or emergency operations). In addition, the list should specify the plant mode(s) during which entry would be required for each room or area.

The list should not include rooms or areas for which entry is required solely to perform actions of an administrative or record keeping nature (e.g., normal rounds or routine inspections).

Further, as specified in IC HAS:

The list need not include the Control Room if adequate engineered safety/design features are in

  • place to preclude a Control Room evacuation due to the release of a hazardous gas. Such features may include, but are not limited to, capability to draw air from multiple air intakes at different and separate locations, inner and outer atmospheric boundaries, or the capability to acquire and maintain positive pressure within the Control Room envelope .

Title:

Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 4 of 32 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for the use of the computerized dose projection system Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) to predict offsite dose rates, integrated doses and radioactive material deposition for locations within the 10-mile Plume Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and the SO-mile Ingestion EPZ. Actual manipulation of system display terminals is described in document MAN-URl-01 referred to as the URI User's Manual.

The dose projection system is used for estimating the whole body (TEDE) and thyroid (COE) doses of onsite and offsite persons in the event of potential or actual accidental release of radioactivity to the environment. The dose projection system used at Columbia consists of a computer software program that relies on pre-calculated, real time, site-specific relationships between effluent monitor readings (or sample results) and on-site and offsite dose rates.

The dose projection system is available in the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and Alternate EOF.

Having the dose projection system software loaded on multiple, stand-alone computers located in the various emergency centers maximizes dose projection capability. Field Team data may be used to calculate dose projections or validate previous projections.

The software program supports a rapid version of dose projection using limited pathways for a rapid evaluation of the release out to 1O miles. The software also supports a detailed dose projection based on more detailed pathways with dose projections from the site boundary out to 10*or 50 miles.

  • 2.0 2.1 State and county organizations will have access to this system in the EOF or by transmission of output information to their emergency centers.

DEFINITIONS COE Thyroid - Committed Dose Equivalent to the thyroid.

2.2 Delta T - The temperature difference between two sensors located at different elevations on a meteorological tower.

2.3 EDE to TEDE Ratio (EDE/TEDE) - Ratios computed by URI that are used for determining the Emergency Worker Dose Adjustment Factor. The EDE is the external gamma dose that is normally monitored by emergency workers through their self-reading dosimeters (electronic dosimeters or pocket ion chambers); and TEDE is the total dose from both EDE and the internal dose from inhaled iodines and particulates.

2.4 Elevated Release - An effluent release point model that assumes that the release point is from a discreet true elevated (tall) stack.

2.5 Emergency Worker Dose Adjustment Factor (EWDAF) - An adjustment factor determined from the EDE/TEDE Ratio that is used by offsite emergency workers to monitor their TEDE whole body dose based on their EDE doses as measured on their self-reading dosimeters. Th~

adjustment factor is the inverse of the EDE/TEDE Ratio reported by URI (for example, an EDE/TE DE Ratio of 0.15 would mean that the EWDAF is 1 / 0.15 = 6. 7) .

Title:

Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 5 of 32 2.6 Radioactive Release -A radioactive release is in progress when:

Effluent monitors indicate an increase in radiation levels from normal readings for plant operating conditions, or Field teams detect environmental radiation 1O times greater than normal background.

AND The increased levels are attributable to the emergency event.

2.7 Radioactive Release Termination -A radioactive release is terminated when the following criteria have been met:

1. The source of the release has been isolated;
2. The effluent monitors are trending downward (if available);
3. Environmental Field Team surveys indicate a decrease in radiation levels or airborne radioactivity.

2.8 RASCAL - NRC supported and distributed computer software for determining source term, atmospheric dispersion, and dose consequences.

2.9 Site Boundary (SB) - Closest distance between owner controlled area boundary and core, set at 1.2 miles .

2.10 Source Term - The quantity and radionuclide makeup of the material in the release. The source term used in URI is based on NUREG-1228.

2.11 Stability Class - Values from A to G representing ranges of Delta T which in turn represent atmospheric mixing estimations. The NRC definitions of these ranges are used to define the stability classes used in URI.

2.12 Stack Door Monitor (SOM) -A portable radiation survey meter (e.g., Teletector) or radiation monitoring instrument (e.g., AMP-100) used for monitoring radiation levels at the exterior and center of the Elevated Release Stack Access Door (R-DOOR-RS 15). This provides an alternate means for monitoring Reactor Building post-accident effluent releases when the installed Process Radiation Monitor (PRM) Stack Monitor is inoperable or unavailable. SOM readings (in mR/hr) are available from HP; or, when set up for remote monitoring, through eDNA Real-Time Client or eDNA Trend from eDNA Point IDs EP99M (mid-range SOM) and EP99H (high-range SOM) in the ENW.WRM Service.

2.13 TEDE-Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE)-The sum of the Deep Dose Equivalent (DOE) and the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE).

2.14 Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) - Computer software which replaces the NRC issued RASCAL user interface for user input of dose assessment parameters and interpretation of results that interfaces to the RASCAL meteorological and dose processor modules .

There is one cart for TEA, and a different cart for WEA readings. While the equations below apply directly to the readings from either cart, it is critical to ensure that the WEA cart readings are only used for WEA dose assessments and TEA readings be used for TEA dose assessments. IF both WEA and TEA are non-functional, then both carts will be in operation and the dose assessments must be derived from the respective cart.

The technical basis for this compensatory measure equivalency can be found in RSCS TSD-13-035 (CVI 1057-00,131). The conversion equations below are used for calculating equivalent inputs for URI. Data from the CNGM will be available to the Main Control Room for monitoring a release during this compensatory measure. There is a slide at the frisker which is inserted for normal readings LTE 400,000 cpm and withdrawn for readings GT 400,000 cpm.

1) !E URI is unavailable, THEN use Table 3 of PPM 13.1.1A to classify.
2) IF frisker reading is GT 400,000 cpm, THEN direct Chemistry to withdraw the CNGM slide.
3) If calculating TEA values to input into URI, then use the following conversion factors, otherwise N/A this step:
  • !E TEA frisker reading is LTE 400,000 cpm, slide inserted (Low Range Input) THEN TEA URI INPUT (µCi/cc)= [Frisker output (cpm)] / 1.01E7 cpm/µCi/cc Example: the frisker reading obtained from the sample cart is 80,000 cpm. The equivalent URI input for either TEA or WEA would be:

TEA 80000 cpm divided by 1.01 E7 cpm/µCi/cc = 7.92e-3 µCi/cc Enter this value into URI for the TEA monitor.

  • !E frisker slide is withdrawn, THEN TEA URI INPUT (µCi/cc)= [Frisker output (cpm)] / 3.87E6 cpm/µCi/cc
4) If calculating WEA values to input into URI, then use the following conversion factors, otherwise N/A this step:
  • !E WEA frisker reading is LTE 400,000 cpm, slide inserted (Low Range Input) THEN WEA URI INPUT (µCi/cc)= [Frisker output (cpm)] / 1.01E7 cpm/µCi/cc

EP Equipment Page: 4 of 65 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to ensure when equipment important to emergency response is removed from service for maintenance or is in a degraded condition, the correct restoration priority is assigned, compensatory measures are implemented, and the equipment is promptly restored to a functional condition.

This procedure provides identification of Important Emergency Preparedness (EP) related equipment. The equipment identified in this procedure is essential to implementation of the Emergency Plan.

For Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) and associated equipment that are not included in the station work management process, the corrective action process is used to ensure issues are identified and corrected.

The information and direction in this procedure applies to on-site and off-site equipment and facilities normally operated or maintained by Columbia Generating Station that are necessary to meet the requirements of the Emergency Plan.

2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 2.1 Emergency Preparedness Manager The Manager, Emergency Preparedness is responsible to assure that Important EP-related equipment is identified and repairs are executed expeditiously as necessary.

2.2 Shift Manager

(

The Shift Manager is responsible for ensuring that a Condition Report and/or Work Request is generated for Equipment identified in Attachment 8.1 and 8.2 of this procedure, and to ensure identified compensatory actions are put in place.

2.3 Work Control Manager The Work Control Manager is responsible to assure that deficient conditions of Important EP-related equipment are appropriately prioritized and scheduled to be corrected promptly in the corrective maintenance program.

2.4 Emergency Planners The Emergency Planners are responsible to assure issues with Important EP-related equipment are identified for correction .

EP Equipment Page: 5 of 65 2.5 Unit Coordinator (Work Control)

Unit Coordinators are responsible to assign appropriate repair priorities to assure that Important EP equipment is factored into the daily work schedule for expeditious repair and return to service.

2.6 Corrective Action Program Manager Responsible for ensuring that the corrective action program supports the tracking and trending of deficiencies related to EP equipment.

2.7 Design Engineering Manager Responsible for ensuring that the design change process identifies any impacts to emergency plan commitments and emergency response capabilities.

2.8 Regulatory Affairs Manager Responsible for providing guidance on compliance with the station licensing basis and related reportability issues.

  • NOTE: The Emergency Plan is designed as a last line of defense to address design basis accident events at a nuclear power plant, including the capability of protecting public health and safety during and following the accident. Therefore, regulations that govern EP equipment may require more timely restoration than technical specifications or other administrative controls. This procedure provides identification of Important Emergency Preparedness related equipment. The equipment identified in this procedure is essential to implementation of the Emergency Plan.

3.0 DISCUSSION 3.1 INPO 10-007, Equipment Important to Emergency Response, was used as guidance in the development of this procedure. The information contained in this procedure assists Information Technology (IT), Maintenance, and Facilities planners in identifying Important EP equipment and assigning appropriate repair priority to assure prompt return to service of any EP-related component identified here.

3.1.1 Equipment with an identified EPN is listed in Attachment 8.1.

3.1.2 IF there is no EPN, THEN reference Attachment 8.2 to determine if the affected equipment impacts the ability of the ERF to function (i.e. power, HVAC, communications).

3.1.3 Items specific to an Emergency Center are listed in Attachments 8.3 through 8.7.

These items will impact the Centers ability to function but will NOT render the center non-functional.  ;

EP Equipment Page: 6 of 65 3.2 Regulatory guidance provided by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) in their guidance NEI 13-01, which was endorsed by the NRC in NU REG 1022 Revision 3, differentiates between "Methods" and "Compensatory Measures," as applicable to the context in which these terms are used for equipment and facilities important to EPlan functions. Those definitions are included here verbatim as they appear in the NEI 13-01 guidance, so that their significance with respect to EPlan functions and EPlan event notifications is understood.

3.2.1 METHOD

A means that could be employed to perform an emergency response function as described in the site emergency plan or an implementing procedure described in the emergency plan. [Site emergency plans and implementing procedures typically describe primary and one or more alternate methods for performing a given function. Provided that at least one METHOD is available, then the ability to perform the associated function has not been fast.]

3.2.2 COMPENSATORY MEASURE: A temporary means, established as part of a planned activity, to perform a given emergency response function during a period when the normally used methods are unavailable such that, when implemented, there is a reasonable expectation that the function would be accomplished during an actual emergency, albeit in a possibly degraded manner. [A COMPENSATORY MEASURE need not meet the same design or operating requirements as the normally used methods but must be sufficient to support effective implementation of the site emergency plan. Also refer to the related term "VIABLE. '1

3.2.3 VIABLE

A COMPENSATORY MEASURE that (1) can restore a required function in a reasonably comparable manner and (2) is proceduralized prior to an event.

[Proceduralized means that the necessary instructions to perform a function exist in a document (e.g., a procedure, a user aid, a night or standing order, etc.) that will be followed by response personnel should an emergency occur. Further, individuals expected to implement the COMPENSA TORY MEASURE must be aware of the measure, in advance of its potential or actual implementation. A VIABLE COMPENSATORY MEASURE does not include reliance upon "skill-of-the-craft" or individual judgment.]

See Attachment 8.8, Flowchart: Unplanned Loss of Equipment Important to EP. This illustrates the process for addressing an unplanned loss of equipment, such as unplanned maintenance.

NOTE: This section pertains to unanticipated degradation or failure of equipment important to emergency response.

4.1.1 Generate a Condition Report and prioritize to restore function. This allows tracking and trending, as well as ensuring timely repair. The priority given to these actions should be commensurate with the significance of the impact on the associated emergency response function.

NOTE: Compensatory Measures identified in this procedure, which is not an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP), may or may not be acceptable Alternate Methods unless so recognized in another EPIP. See PPM 1.10.1, Notifications and Reportable Events, for potential notifications on loss of EP equipment.

4.1.2 Compensatory measures associated with the degraded or nonfunctional equipment can be found in the attachments to this procedure.

4.1.3 IF the equipment is INPO 10-007 Category A1 or Category A2 equipment, THEN implement identified compensatory measures.

a. The Shift Manager will implement compensatory measures to address the loss of plant equipment necessary to implement the station emergency plan. The compensatory measures should be documented in the lnop. Equip/LCO/RFO Log section of the Operations Logging System.
b. The status of out-of-service equipment can be obtained from the Operations Logging System Out of Service EPNs report.
c. Evaluate the loss of response capability. If the function requires more time to implement or cannot be implemented, evaluate the reportability requirements.
d. The Shift Manager coordinates with the licensing/regulatory affairs staff to evaluate Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reporting requirements for out-of-service EP equipment per PPM 1.10.1 .

b. Category B equipment is allowed to be out of service provided redundant equipment is available to maintain the emergency response function.
c. Notify emergency response personnel of the degraded condition and the compensatory measures in effect.

4.2 Removal Of Equipment From Service For Planned Maintenance (Planned Loss)

See Attachment 8.9, Flowchart: Planned Loss of Equipment Important to EP. This illustrates the process for addressing a planned loss of equipment.

NOTE: A rigorous work management process, which includes guidance for EP equipment, is essential to ensure that maintenance is completed and that the equipment is restored to service expeditiously.

4.2.1 Individuals who are trained on and knowledgeable of emergency plan requirements should help evaluate equipment configuration changes that may impact emergency plan functions or EAL assessment capabilities.

4.2.2 For INPO 10-007 Category A1 or Category A2 equipment, ensure compensatory measures are in place before equipment is removed from service for planned maintenance. Ensure the compensatory measure is controlled in accordance with PPM 13.14.11, PPM 1.3.68, or WCl-4.

a. Evaluate the loss of response capability. If the function requires more time to implement or cannot be implemented, evaluate the reportability requirements.
b. The Shift Manager will implement the compensatory measures as soon as practical.

4.2.3 For INPO 10-007 Category B equipment, verify the availability of redundant equipment to ensure the emergency preparedness function is maintained prior to removing the equipment for planned maintenance or testing.

a. Ensure that the equipment being removed from service is not being credited as a compensatory measure for another piece of equipment.
b. When redundant INPO 10-007 Category B equipment is not available to maintain the function, the affected INPO 10-007 Category B equipment is treated as INPO 1-007 Category A equipment.

EP Equipment Page: 9 of 65 4.3 Degradation or Loss of Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs)

NOTE: Maintain ERFs, including alternate or backup facilities and their associated equipment, in a state of readiness. The following direction is related to planned maintenance and emergent issues and extends to all ERFs, including primary, alternate, and backup facilities as well as the equipment required to support their operation and habitability. Because of the broad scope of emergency preparedness functions conducted from these facilities, the loss of an ERF can have a significant impact on emergency plan implementation. Restoration of nonfunctional or degraded ERFs requires prompt management attention.

4.3.1 ERF Emergent Issues:

NOTE: Degraded or nonfunctioning equipment associated with these facilities is restored in a timely manner.

a. If primary power is lost to any ERF, then establish emergency power (if available).
c. If INPO 10-007 Category 8 equipment used to perform a specified ERF function is lost or degraded, then verify the availability of redundant equipment. If redundant INPO 10-007 Category B equipment is not available, then treat the equipment as INPO 10-007 Category A.
d. If INPO Category A1 or Category A2 equipment used to perform a specified ERF function is lost or degraded, then implement the appropriate compensatory measures.
e. To ensure effective implementation of the emergency plan, keep the affected members of the emergency response organization informed of changes to ERF status or availabUity and any associated compensatory measures .

Title:

EP Equipment Page: 1O of 65 4.3.2 ERF Planned Maintenance

a. Before a facility or its associated support equipment is removed from service, the Emergency Preparedness manager or designee should evaluate equipment and structural configuration changes that may impact Emergency Plan functions.
b. Identify and implement compensatory measures before the facility is removed from service or is otherwise rendered uninhabitable. Minimize the out-of-service time for the facility.
c. Maintenance should inform station management, including EP, of unanticipated delays in restoration.
d. To ensure effective implementation of the emergency plan, keep the affected members of the emergency response organization informed of changes to ERF status or availability and any associated compensatory measures.

4.3.3 ERF Restoration

a. In order to apply the appropriate priority and resources to the restoration effort, the Emergency Preparedness manager or designee notifies station management when the ERF or supporting equipment cannot be restored promptly.
b. Following the restoration of ERF electrical power after an unexpected loss, the center Emergency Planner will walk down the facility to ensure the necessary support functions are available including the following:
  • Habitability
  • Communications
  • Dose assessment
  • Lighting and electrical power
  • Computers and Intranet
  • Technical data acquisition and display 5.0 DOCUMENTATION None

EP Equipment Page: 11 of 65 6.0 DEFINITIONS 6.1 Alternate indication - a backup means of monitoring a parameter or condition that should approximate the primary indication it is replacing.

6.2 Compensatory measure - a temporary means of mitigating the degradation or loss of an emergency response function or of maintaining the emergency response function until the equipment is restored to a fully functional condition:

6.2.1 A compensatory measure is the best available means to maintain the emergency preparedness function. Compensatory measures may include the use of redundant equipment.

6.2.2 Compensatory measures are put in place prior to scheduled equipment outages and design modifications and without delay following equipment loss or facility functional failures, to prevent or mitigate any loss of function that could result from the equipment being out of service.

6.2.3 Compensatory measures are incorporated into appropriate station processes, programs, and procedures. The station work management priority criteria appropriately address emergency preparedness equipment. Measures are in place to adjust work priorities when the compensatory measure put in place exceeds the time allowed in the evaluation or when the compensatory measure itself no longer maintains the emergency preparedness function.

6.2.4 Compensatory measures that rely on periodic monitoring also have an event-based trigger that prompts immediate and more frequent monitoring. For example, periodic sampling (such as once per shift) may be used to compensate for a nonfunctional ventilation radiation monitor. However, any increase in elevated area or airborne radiation levels in the affected buildings after the compensatory measure is put in place should trigger i~mediate and more frequent sampling.

6.3 Critical Digital Assets - Some of the components included in this document may be considered Critical Digital Assets. Contact Cyber Security Assessment Team (CSAT) for further information if necessary.
