This allows for more timely classification since all the basis information pertaining to Note bullet 3 will be contained in the IC and readily available for use by the SM.
- 3) Only monitors with continuous release paths were chosen for this EAL, for example; the liquid rad waste monitor is not used in this EAL since the liquid release path is a batch release path and as such is sampled to determine the concentration or release rate making this IC determined via EAL #3. In addition, NEI added an EAL based upon field survey results to maintain consistency through this EAL set from the Alert to the GE.
- 4) Radiation monitors for Service Water Effluent are not used in the EALs based on NEI 99-01 Rev 6 as they are not considered as typical effluent release points. They would require an RCS leak to provide activity release via these pathways, in the event of a leak the system effluent would be sampled and classified under EAL #3.
Also this would be bound and classifiable under MU6 and the FPB EALs within the NEI 99-01 Rev 6 scheme.

- 1) Listed site specific plant rooms and areas with identified mode applicability to ensure timely classification.
- 2) Additional discussion added to the basis section describing Table R4 as follows:
This IC addresses elevated radiation levels in certain plant rooms/areas sufficient to preclude or impede personnel from performing actions necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal plant procedures. 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.
Assuming all plant equipment is operating as designed, normal operation is capable from the Main Control Room (MCR). The plant is also able to transition into a hot shutdown condition from the MCR, therefore Table R4 is a list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability that contain equipment which require a manual/local action necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal operating procedures (establish shutdown cooling), where if this action is not completed the plant would not be able to attain and maintain cold shutdown. This Table does 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).
Rooms and areas listed in EAL #1 do not need to be included in EAL #2, including the Control Room.

- 4) Revised to add notes and wording to warrant the escalation to Alert only if the hazardous event has caused VISIBLE DAMAGE or degraded performance in more than one operable train of a SAFETY SYSTEM (for multiple train SAFETY SYSTEMS) or in one train of single train SAFETY SYSTEM. As such this will reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, i.e., does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant. The addition of the notes and wording are consistent with the current NRC-endorsed Alert classification language. The definition for VISIBLE DAMAGE has been revised since it is only used for CA2 and MA5 and the EALs are revised to be based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains and not individual components and structures.

- 1) Listed plant specific rooms and areas with entry related mode applicability to ensure timely classification.
- 2) Restricted Mode applicability to the modes applicable to Table H3.
- 3) Additional discussion added to the basis section describing Table R4 as follows:
This IC addresses an event involving a release of a hazardous gas that precludes or impedes access to equipment necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal plant procedures. This condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
Assuming all plant equipment is operating as designed, normal operation is capable from the Main Control Room (MCR). The plant is also able to transition into a hot shutdown condition from the MCR, therefore Table H3 is a list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability that contain equipment which require a manual/local action necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal operating procedures (establish shutdown cooling), where if this action is not completed the plant would not be able to attain and maintain cold shutdown.
This Table does 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).
This Table does not include the Control Room since adequate engineered safety/design features are in place to preclude a Control Room evacuation due to the release of a hazardous gas.

This allows for more timely classification since all the basis information pertaining to Note bullet 3 will be contained in the IC and readily available for use by the SM.
- 3) Only monitors with continuous release paths were chosen for this EAL, for example; the liquid rad waste monitor is not used in this EAL since the liquid release path is a batch release path and as such is sampled to determine the concentration or release rate making this IC determined via EAL #3. In addition, NEI added an EAL based upon field survey results to maintain consistency through this EAL set from the Alert to the GE.
- 4) Radiation monitors for Service Water Effluent are not used in the EALs based on NEI 99-01 Rev 6 as they are not considered as typical effluent release points.

- 1) Listed site specific plant rooms and areas with identified mode applicability to ensure timely classification.
- 2) Additional discussion added to the basis section describing Table R4 as follows:
This IC addresses elevated radiation levels in certain plant rooms/areas sufficient to preclude or impede personnel from performing actions necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal plant procedures. 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.
Assuming all plant equipment is operating as designed, normal operation is capable from the Main Control Room (MCR). The plant is also able to transition into a hot shutdown condition from the MCR, therefore Table R4 is a list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability that contain equipment which require a manual/local action necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal operating procedures (establish shutdown cooling), where if this action is not completed the plant would not be able to attain and maintain cold shutdown. This Table does 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).
Rooms and areas listed in EAL #1 do not need to be included in EAL #2, including the Control Room.

- 4) Revised to add notes and wording to warrant the escalation to Alert only if the hazardous event has caused VISIBLE DAMAGE or degraded performance in more than one operable train of a SAFETY SYSTEM (for multiple train SAFETY SYSTEMS) or in one train of single train SAFETY SYSTEM. As such this will reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, i.e., does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant. The addition of the notes and wording are consistent with the current NRC-endorsed Alert classification language. The definition for VISIBLE DAMAGE has been revised since it is only used for CA2 and MA5 and the EALs are revised to be based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains and not individual components and structures.

If the only affected SAFETY SYSTEM train was already inoperable or out of service before the hazardous event occurred, then this emergency classification is not warranted.
For SAFETY SYSTEMS with multiple trains if the hazardous event only resulted in VISIBLE DAMAGE or degraded performance to the one train, then this emergency classification is not warranted.
If it is determined that the conditions of CA2 are not met then assess the event via HU3, HU4, or HU6.
- 1. The occurrence of ANY of the following hazardous events:
- Seismic event (earthquake)
- Internal or external flooding event
- High winds or tornado strike

- 3) Added note to easily direct the operator to potential lesser ICs.
- 4) Revised to add notes and wording to warrant the escalation to Alert only if the hazardous event has caused VISIBLE DAMAGE or degraded performance in more than one operable train of a SAFETY SYSTEM (for multiple train SAFETY SYSTEMS) or in one train of single train SAFETY SYSTEM. As such this will reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, i.e., does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant. The addition of the notes and wording are consistent with the current NRC-endorsed Alert classification language. The definition for VISIBLE DAMAGE has been revised since it is only used for CA2 and MA5 and the EALs are revised to be based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains and not individual components and structures.

No Change Difference Deviation
- 1) EAL uses the site specific Control Room evacuation procedure to effectively list all of the alternate locations, panels, and stations requested by the developer notes. This would be the procedure the Control Room would enter should such an event occur, this allows for greater clarity as to when this EAL would apply than if each panel and station used in alternate shutdown were to be listed,
- 2) Changed "An event" to" A Control Room evacuation" to remove confusion if partial plant control was transferred to outside the control room with the control room still manned, due to testing or equipment failure.

HU4 Initiating Condition:
Seismic event greater than OBE levels.
Operating Mode Applicability:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, D Emergency Action Level (EAL):
Note:
For emergency classification if EAL 2 is not able to be confirmed, then the occurrence of a seismic event is confirmed in manner deemed appropriate by the Emergency Director in < 15 minutes of the event.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA2 or MA5
- 1. Seismic event > Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) as determined by seismic monitoring system in accordance with AOP-14 Earthquake.
- 2. When Seismic Monitoring Equipment is not available:
- a. Control Room personnel feel an actual or potential seismic event.
AND
- b. ANY one of the following confirmed in < 15 minutes of the event:
The earthquake resulted in Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) > VI and occurred < 3.5 miles of the plant.

- 1) Listed plant specific rooms and areas with entry related mode applicability to ensure timely classification.
- 2) Restricted Mode applicability to the modes applicable to Table H3.
- 3) Additional discussion added to the basis section describing Table R4 as follows:
This IC addresses an event involving a release of a hazardous gas that precludes or impedes access to equipment necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal plant procedures. This condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
Assuming all plant equipment is operating as designed, normal operation is capable from the Main Control Room (MCR). The plant is also able to transition into a hot shutdown condition from the MCR, therefore Table H3 is a list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability that contain equipment which require a manual/local action necessary to transition the plant from normal plant operation to cooldown and shutdown as specified in normal operating procedures (establish shutdown cooling), where if this action is not completed the plant would not be able to attain and maintain cold shutdown.
This Table does 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).
This Table does not include the Control Room since adequate engineered safety/design features are in place to preclude a Control Room evacuation due to the release of a hazardous gas.

Note: EAL #4 does not apply to routine traffic impediments such as fog, snow, ice, or vehicle breakdowns or accidents.
- 1. A tornado strike within the PROTECTED AREA.
- 2. Internal room or area flooding of a magnitude sufficient to require manual or automatic electrical isolation of a SAFETY SYSTEM component needed for the current operating mode.
- 3. Movement of personnel within the PROTECTED AREA is impeded due to an offsite event involving hazardous materials (e.g., an offsite chemical spill or toxic gas release).
- 4. A hazardous event that results in on-site conditions sufficient to prohibit the plant staff from accessing the site via personal vehicles.

Hazardous Event Operating Mode Applicability:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, D Emergency Action Level (EAL):
Note:
EAL #4 does not apply to routine traffic impediments such as fog, snow, ice, or vehicle breakdowns or accidents.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA2 or MA5
- 1. Tornado strike within the PROTECTED AREA.
- 2. Internal room or area flooding of a magnitude sufficient to require manual or automatic electrical isolation of a SAFETY SYSTEM component required by Technical Specifications for the current operating mode.
- 3. Movement of personnel within the PROTECTED AREA is impeded due to an offsite event involving hazardous materials (e.g., an offsite chemical spill or toxic gas release).
- 4. A hazardous event that results in on-site conditions sufficient to prohibit the plant staff from accessing the site via personal vehicles.
- 5. Intake Water Level > 255 feet.
- 6. ESW intake bay water level < 237 feet.
No Change Difference Deviation
- 1) Included low and high intake water level as part of the site specific list of natural or technological hazard events. The low level value is selected to be < 237 feet.
IAW AOP-56, Intake Water Level Trouble at 237.5 feet there is adequate time to reduce power (scraming the reactor), remove the second CW pump and trend intake water level as mitigating actions, the ESW pumps are declared inoperable (Alert threshold) at 236.5 feet, so 237 feet allows for mitigating action to be taken prior to declaration and is above the Alert threshold allowing for escalation between the Unusual Event and the Alert thresholds. The high level corresponds to the revised design flood level for the screenwell interior walls and gates.
- 2) Changed the word "needed" to "required by Technical Specifications" in the EAL to be consistent with terminology used by operators and minimize confusion.
- 3) Added note to easily direct the operator to the escalation ICs.
