PNP 2018-015 ATTACHMENT PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SITE EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

The Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) Site Emergency Plan (SEP), Revision 30, was issued on March 1, 2018.

The SEP revision was analyzed under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section SO.S4(q), Emergency plans. Pursuant to 10 CFR SO.4, Written communications, Subsection (b)(S)(ii), and 10 CFR SO.S4(q)(S), a summary of the 10 CFR SO.S4(q) analysis is being submitted.

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES The SEP was revised as follows:

1. A statement was added to a note under Figure S-2, Plant Staffing and Augmentation Requirements, to clarify that the intent of the specified substitutions for Nuclear Plant Operators (NPOs) is to allow task-qualified personnel other than fully-qualified NPOs to be used in two of the six on-shift NPO positions.
2. The description in Appendix D was updated to reflect a previous change to Emergency Implementing Procedure 6.9, Automatic Dose Assessment Program, in which Unified RASCAL Interface is now used to perform offsite dose assessment rather than a dose assessment program titled Offsite.
3. The description in Appendix D was updated to reflect a previous change made in EI-6.8, Backup and Supplemental Meteorology, in which use of Weather Service International as of one of the backup methods for obtaining meteorological data for offsite dose calculations was removed from the procedure. This service is no longer available, and other backup methods of obtaining the meteorological data are provided in the procedure.
4. Section 6.4.1.b.3.(a)(3) was revised to clarify that the instructions for backup means of notifications also apply to public alerts.

S. The procedure was revised throughout to update the name of the local hospital from South Haven Community Hospital to Bronson South Haven Hospital.

6. Several references to emergency procedure titles and numbers were corrected.

PNP 2018-015 ATTACHMENT PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SITE EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE CHANGES STILL COMPLY WITH REGULATIONS The changes in the SEP revision clarify a note under Table 5-2 concerning the use of task-qualified personnel rather than Nuclear Plant Operators (NPOs) for two of six on-shift NPO positions, update the description of the program used for performing offsite dose assessments, update the description of the backup methods for obtaining meteorological data, and make some additional minor clarifications and corrections.

None of these proposed changes impact program elements or emergency planning functions. The changes do not adversely affect the methods for assessment of radiological consequences or the responsibilities for emergency response organization personnel. The changes are administrative or editorial in nature, and do not affect the purpose, scope or intent of the SEP.

Therefore, with these changes, the SEP continues to comply with the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.

DESCRIPTION OF WHY THE CHANGES WERE NOT A REDUCTION IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SEP The changes in the SEP revision clarify a note under Table 5-2 concerning the use of task qualified personnel rather than Nuclear Plant Operators (NPOs) for two of six on-shift NPO positions, update the description of the program used for performing offsite dose assessments, update the description of the backup methods for obtaining meteorological data, and make some additional minor clarifications and corrections.

The changes do not adversely affect the methods for assessment of radiological consequences or the responsibilities for emergency response organization personnel or any other aspects of the emergency plan. The changes are administrative or editorial in nature, and do not affect the purpose, scope or intent of the SEP.

These SEP changes do not represent a reduction in the effectiveness of the emergency plan per 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3), and therefore may be implemented without prior NRC approval.

  • Procedure may be performed from memory or referred to as needed.
  • User remains responsible for procedure adherence.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Palisades Site Emergency Plan (SEP) is to aid in protecting members of the general public, persons temporarily visiting the site, and site employees.

Information submitted in this plan was developed using the guidance provided in NUREG-0654, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Procedures in Support of Nuclear Power Plants,"

published in November 1980 and with Regulatory Guide 1.70, Revision 2, "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants," dated September 1975.

Detailed procedures concerning the implementation of the Site Emergency Plan are not included here, but are included in the Palisades Nuclear Plant Emergency Implementing Procedures and Entergy Fleet Emergency Preparedness Procedures.

These procedures describe the duties and actions of individuals and groups in the event of an emergency and also serve as an interface of the Site Emergency Plan with Plant operations, security, and radiological controls procedures. Selected elements of the Quality Program are applied to the Site Emergency Planning Function for the Palisades Plant.

1.1 DEFINITIONS 1.1.1 Accident Any unexpected or unintentional event resulting in radiological exposure, contamination, or physical injury to individuals requiring offsite medical treatment, and/or physical damage to safety-related components.

1.1.2 Activation Actions taken to staff and setup an emergency response facility to make it operational. Actions include, but are not limited to, notification of emergency personnel, equipment setup, and equipment operability testing.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 7 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 1.1.3 Affected Persons Individuals who have been radiologically exposed or physically injured as a result of an accident to a degree requiring special attention, eg, decontamination, first aid, or medical services.

1.1.4 Alarm An indication of abnormal Plant conditions and/or equipment status.

1.1.5 Alert Events are in process 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 Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.

1.1.6 Annunciation An alarm or indication of normal or abnormal conditions.

1.1.7 Assessment Actions Those actions taken during or after an accident to provide data to make decisions.

1.1.8 Command and Control Resides with the Shift Manager or EOF Emergency Director following assumption of overall authority for Entergy Corporation emergency response. At minimum, this individual will assume responsibility for event classification, dose assessment, protective action recommendations, and notification of offsite authorities.

a discrete, observable event; results of analyses; entry into specific emergency operating procedures; or another phenomenon which, if it occurs, indicates entry into a particular emergency class.

There are times when an EAL will be a threshold point on a measurable continuous function, such as a primary system coolant leak that has exceeded technical specifications.

At other times, the EAL lists a discrete event that places the plant in a particular emergency class.

1.1.15 Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)

An offsite emergency center from which the offsite emergency support actions of Entergy Corporation are controlled and coordinated with state, local, and federal authorities to mitigate the consequences of an emergency.

1.1.16 Emergency Implementing Procedures Specific procedures providing specific actions to implement the Site Emergency Plan in order to mitigate or terminate an emergency situation.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 9 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 1.1.17 Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ)

Two zones that encircle the Palisades Plant. The primary EPZ plume exposure pathway, with a radius of 10 miles, has been established to prevent excessive airborne exposure, and the secondary EPZ, ingestion exposure pathway, with a radius of 50 miles, has been established to prevent excessive ingestion of contaminated food. Within these two zones, protective actions are described for the protection of the public.

1.1.18 Fitness For Duty Provide reasonable assurance that personnel who maintain unescorted access will perform their tasks in a reliable and trustworthy manner and are not under the influence of any substance, legal or illegal, or mentally or physically impaired from any cause, which in any way adversely affects their ability to safely and competently perform their duties.

1.1.19 Fully Operational Status of an Emergency Response Facility following assumption of all responsibilities.

1.1.20 General Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.

Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

1.1.21 Hostile Action An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes hostages, and lor intimidates the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. HOSTILE ACTION should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPP. Nonterrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (eg, violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).

1.1.24 Initiating Condition (IC): One of a predetermined subset of nuclear power plant conditions when either the potential exists for a radiological emergency, or such an emergency has occurred.

  • An IC is an emergency condition, which sets it apart from the broad class of conditions that mayor may not have the potential to escalate into a radiological emergency.
  • It can be a continuous, measurable function that is outside technical specifications, such as elevated PCS temperature or falling reactor coolant level (a symptom).

1.1.25 Offsite All land and water areas outside the owner-controlled area.

1.1.26 Onsite All land and water areas within the owner-controlled area, use of which must be authorized by Entergy Corporation.

No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant is owned by Entergy Corporation. An area map showing the location of the facility is provided in Figure 2-1.

The design of the Palisades Nuclear Plant is that of a pressurized water-type nuclear steam supply system supplied and manufactured by Combustion Engineering. The system uses chemical shim and control rods for reactivity control and U-tube steam generators. Maps identifying Palisades Plant facilities are provided in Figures 2-2 and 2-3.

The Palisades Plant is located in Covert Township, Van Buren County, Michigan.

The Plant is bordered to the north by the Van Buren State Park and to the west by Lake Michigan. The south and east are sparsely populated, underdeveloped, or used for farming. Interstate 196 and the Blue Star Highway lie within one mile east of the site. Much of the area around the site is devoted to recreation and tourism, which produces a fluctuating and seasonal population.

Highway access to the Plant is provided from the Blue Star Highway (A-2) via the Plant access road.

2.2 POPULATION DISTRIBUTION AND EVACUATION TIMES The area within a 10-mile radius surrounding the Palisades Plant is designated as the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). A comprehensive population study was prepared in August 2012 by KLD Engineering. The Evacuation Time Estimates for the plume EPZ are adopted as a progeny procedure to Palisades Site Emergency Plan. See SEP Supp 2, "Evacuation Time Estimates."

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 14 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 2.3 EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONES EPZs are areas designated for which planning is recommended to assure that prompt and effective actions are taken to protect the public in the event of an accident.

Two EPZs have been identified for the purpose of development and implementation of emergency planning. The plume exposure emergency planning zone has a 10 mile radius. Within this zone, shelter and/or evacuation is the immediate protective action to be recommended for the general public. The principal concern with the plume exposure pathway is that of Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) exposure and/or exposure to the adult thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) due to inhalation and ingestion.

The ingestion exposure EPZ extends to a 50-mile radius. Once exceeding the 10-mile radius, the plume exposure pathway is no longer of significant concern.

At this point, the ingestion pathway is of greatest concern.

2.4 PURPOSES AND OBJECTIVES Effective emergency preparedness needs to incorporate not only the emergency response for systems, but must also include response for people. Engineering safety systems at the Plant are designed to ensure that the consequences of a major malfunction will be mitigated prior to any adverse effect to the general public or facility. The basis for emergency planning is to provide human emergency response in much the same way as safety systems do for design.

It is imperative that all plans, programs, and procedures be well coordinated with the Emergency Plan. Only when they are well coordinated can the response to emergencies be initiated in a timely and effective manner.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 15 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 2.4.1 Regulatory Requirements 10 CFR 50, "Domestic Licensing Of Production and Utilization Facilities" Section 50.34, "Contents of Applications; Technical Information", requires that each application for a license to operate a facility include in a Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), along with other information, the applicant's plans for coping with emergencies, including the items specified in Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," 10 CFR 50. Section 100.3, 10 CFR 100, "Reactor Site Criteria," in the definitions of exclusion area and low population zone, establishes additional criteria for plans to cope with emergencies and serious accidents. 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency Plans," requires that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

Supplemental guidance has been provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by the following documents:

a. NUREG-0654, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plant" (November 1980).
b. NUREG-0696, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities" (February 1981).

These documents describe methods acceptable to the NRC staff for compliance with the Commission's regulations in regard to the content of emergency plans for nuclear power plants including provisions for the periodic review and revision of the Emergency Plans.

2.4.2 Purpose of Emergency Preparedness The purpose of emergency preparedness is to provide a mechanism that would be used in making decisions in the event of an emergency, and to assure that the necessary equipment, supplies, and essential services are available to protect the health and safety of the public.

2.4.3 Objectives of the Palisades Site Emergency Plan The objectives of the Site Emergency Plan are to:

a. Establish criteria for classifying emergencies, performing notifications, activating emergency facilities, and activating portions of the emergency organization.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 16 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

b. Establish an emergency organization and assign responsibilities in the emergency organization for classifying emergencies, performing notifications, performing onsite protective actions, performing dose assessments, and making recommendations to offsite authorities.
c. Identify the support that will be provided to the onsite emergency organization by the Entergy Corporation headquarters and offsite organizations (ie, fire, ambulance, medical).
d. Identify the offsite authorities that are responsible for taking protective actions on behalf of members of the general public or that interface with this Emergency Plan.
e. Identify emergency facilities and available communication systems to be used by the emergency organization.
f. Identify training for personnel in the emergency organization.
g. Provide for drills and exercises of the emergency organization.
h. Provide for periodic review and update of the plan.

SUMMARY

OF EMERGENCY PLAN INTERRELATIONSHIPS This Emergency Plan should not, in itself, be considered the sole working document to be used during an emergency. The purpose of the Emergency Plan is to classify emergencies according to their severity, to assign responsibilities for actions, and to clearly outline the most effective course of action required to safeguard the public and Plant personnel in the event of an emergency. Detailed instructions and guidelines for emergency actions are included in other plans, programs, and procedures as described below.

2.5.1 Site Emergency Plan Supplement 1 The "Site Emergency Plan Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts" contains the Palisades Emergency Action Levels in a wall chart format. It is part of the Site Emergency Plan. Changes to the supplement require all the same types of reviews and approvals as required for the Site Emergency Plan. Revisions to the supplement will be tracked by its own revision number, not the SEP's revision number.

The "Site Emergency Plan Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts" will be maintained in the same binder as the Site Emergency Plan.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 17 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 2.5.2 Site Emergency Plan Supplement 2 The Site Emergency Plan Supplement 2 - "Evacuation Time Estimates (Revision 1, August 2012)" contains the Palisades updated Evacuation Time Estimates study (Revision 1, August 2012). It is part of the Site Emergency Plan. Changes to the supplement require all the same types of reviews and approvals as required for the Site Emergency Plan. Revisions to the supplement will be tracked by its own revision number, not the SEP's revision number.

The Site Emergency Plan Supplement 2 - "Evacuation Time Estimates" will be maintained in the same binder as the Site Emergency Plan.

2.5.3 Emergency Implementing Procedures Detailed Emergency Implementing Procedures required to implement the plan have been developed. An index of the Emergency Implementing Procedures is included in Appendix D.

Detailed implementing procedures for emergencies considered to be special events, such as civil disturbances, bomb threats, and breaches in security are included as part of the Safeguards Contingency Procedures.

Separate emergency procedures are not provided for activities already covered by Plant or section Operating Procedures (ie, calibration of survey instruments). The plan relies on certain aspects of the Plant's operating procedures, radiation protection procedures, and security procedures, where they are required for clarification.

2.5.4 Related Plans, Programs, and Procedures Several plans, programs, and procedures have been developed to assure the safe operation of the Plant. The Site Emergency Plan and Emergency Implementing Procedures have been written to coordinate these plans with other programs and procedures. During emergency situations, the coordination and utilization of all plans and procedures are essential.

The Safeguards Contingency Procedures have been coordinated with the Site Emergency Plan and Emergency Implementing Procedures to minimize the consequences of an emergency situation. Security procedures contain an explanation of the duties and responsibilities for security personnel in the event of an emergency.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 18 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Provisions for radiological control at the Plant have been covered in Radiation Protection Procedures. These procedures establish controls and protective measures to be placed on work being conducted in radiation areas. Inclusive within the area of radiation control are the procedures that Radiation Protection establishes for determining exposure through surveys, analysis, and various other avenues.

The Palisades Emergency Operating Procedures have been developed to control Plant operation during emergency situations. These emergency procedures work in conjunction with the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

The Palisades Nuclear Plant Public Information Policies and Procedures contain the information necessary to establish a flow of emergency information to the public.

The Palisades Fire Protection Plan has been developed to assure the safe operation of the Plant during a fire.

SUMMARY

The Emergency Plan establishes the basic steps that will be used to determine the response of the emergency organization for each of four emergency classes. The emergency classes are as follows: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The conditions that must exist for the declaration of a specific emergency class are presented in the Site Emergency Plan, Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts.

The declaration of each class will lead to specific notification of offsite authorities.

Emergency facilities shall be activated as described in Table 3-1, "Emergency Classifications and the Level of Response by Participating Groups," and staffed as presented in Section 5 of the Palisades Site Emergency Plan. In response to a particular event, certain protective actions may be initiated or certain offsite agencies may be activated. These actions are detailed in Section 6 of the Palisades Site Emergency Plan. Palisades maintains 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 promptly declares the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.

For emergencies that result in (1) the release of radioactive materials greater than specified levels, or (2) the degradation of barriers to the release of radioactive materials, assessments of the offsite consequences or the projected offsite consequences shall be made. These assessments will be transmitted to the offsite authorities responsible for taking protective actions on behalf of the general public.

Recommendations to these offsite authorities will be based on the protective actions identified in Table 6-2 from the Palisades Site Emergency Plan.

3.1 EMERGENCY PLAN STEPS In general, the Emergency Plan encompasses the following basic steps:

a. Detection of the emergency
b. Classification of the emergency
c. Notification of offsite agencies
d. Activation of the responding organization(s)
e. Assessment of the situation
f. Initiation of protective actions
g. Initiation of corrective actions
h. Aid to affected persons
i. Reentry and recovery

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 23 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 3.2 ENTERGY CORPORATION EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION This Emergency Plan establishes an organization capable of responding to the complete spectrum of incidents covered by this Emergency Plan. Provisions are made for rapid notification of appropriate portions of the response organization, and for expanding the response organization if the situation dictates.

An individual having the authority and responsibility to initiate any emergency actions within the provisions of this Emergency Plan, including the exchange of information with authorities responsible for coordinating offsite emergency measures, is onsite at all times. This individual is the Shift Manager until relieved by the Emergency Director.

The operating shift crew is responsible for implementing emergency action(s) in accordance with assigned response functions. Emergency response functions are also assigned to additional Plant staff personnel who are rapidly alerted and mobilized to augment or relieve the operating shift personnel of emergency duties as deemed appropriate by the Emergency Plant Manager, and in accordance with the implementing procedures of this Plan.

In addition, this Plan includes offsite agencies and organizations who have signed letters of agreement with Palisades Nuclear Power Plant (see Appendix A). Their designated response functions include implementation of offsite protective actions, transportation and treatment of personnel requiring medical treatment, control of access to the station, fire-fighting support, radiological sampling and assessment, technical consultation, and testing.

3.3 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS Emergencies are grouped into four classifications listed below in order of severity:

a. Unusual Event Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 24 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

b. Alert Events are in process 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 Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
c. Site Area Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public.

Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.

d. General Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.

Section 4 from the Palisades Nuclear Plant Site Emergency Plan contains a more detailed discussion of the classifications of emergencies. Table 3-1, "Emergency Classifications and the Level of Response by Participating Groups," shows, in column form, the emergency classifications, and the degrees of involvement of onsite and offsite organizations.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 25 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 3.4 EMERGENCY ACTIONS In all instances, when one of the classifications of the above emergencies occurs in the Plant, the Shift Manager is responsible for taking immediate action to safeguard personnel and equipment. Utilizing the Palisades Nuclear Plant Emergency Implementing Procedures, the Shift Manager shall activate the necessary portions of the Site Emergency Plan. The basic considerations for safe operation of the Plant, and for action in the event of an emergency in the Plant, are summarized as follows:

a. In any event, protection of Plant personnel and the public is the highest priority. A range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan. Plant system and equipment protection is secondary.
b. When there is doubt as to the classification of the emergency condition, the more conservative case is considered.
c. The instrumentation is assumed to be providing correct information unless it is clearly identified that an instrument is erroneous or out of service.
d. All alarms are promptly acknowledged, any required response action is taken, and an immediate investigation of the cause that initiated the alarm is made.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 27 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS 4.1 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM This Site Emergency Plan provides four mutually exclusive classifications covering the postulated spectrum of emergency situations. For each classification, a particular set of immediate actions to be taken is established as described in Section 6, of the Site Emergency Plan. Actions for each of the four mutually exclusive classifications are defined in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-1, "Emergency Classification and Actions," Attachment 1, "Emergency Actions."

The various classifications of accidents represent a hierarchy of accidents based on potential or actual hazards presented to the general public. Accidents may be classified in a lower category at first and then escalated to another higher classification if the situation deteriorates. Accident classification may be downgraded as conditions improve. The four classes that comprise the Emergency Classification System are:

a. Unusual Event
b. Alert
c. Site Area Emergency
d. General Emergency All emergency measures begin with the notification of the Shift Manager that a situation exists which presents a real or potential hazard. This is followed by assessment and evaluation by the Shift Manager, classification of the emergency, notifications, and activation and/or mobilization of the applicable emergency organizations. Section 6 summarizes the emergency measures to be taken by both the onsite and offsite emergency organizations.

Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are used to describe each of the four emergency classes. These levels are composed of a combination of Plant parameters (such as instrument readings and system status) that can be used to give relatively quick indication to the Plant operating staff of the severity of the accident situation.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 28 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN The purpose of the EAL is to provide the earliest possible identification of actual or potential accident situations. In most cases, further assessment action will be conducted both onsite and offsite before actual protective actions are initiated.

EALs associated with radioactive releases are related to the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Actions Guides (PAG) summarized in EPA 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents." An assessment by the Plant emergency organization along with state support agencies of the potential of reaching or exceeding the PAG will be performed following the declaration of an emergency class.

When EALs are observed in conjunction with Plant or equipment status due to planned maintenance or testing activities, an emergency condition does not exist.

A conservative philosophy for classification shall be used to declare the highest classification for which an EAL has been exceeded. For example, a Site Area Emergency would be declared directly if a Site Area Emergency level is exceeded without having previously been declared in a lower Alert classification.

The Emergency Action Levels are not necessarily all inclusive. The Shift Manager/EOF Emergency Director shall declare an appropriate emergency classification whenever, in their personal judgment, the Plant status warrants such a declaration.

Palisades Emergency Action Levels can be found in the "Site Emergency Plan Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts."

4.1.1 Unusual Event The Unusual Event is the least severe of the four emergency classifications. For the purposes of this plan, an Unusual Event is defined as that situation where, "Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated.

No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs."

The purpose of the Unusual Event declaration is to:

a. Assure that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been carried out.
b. Bring the Plant operations staff to a state of readiness.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 29 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

c. Provide systematic handling of Unusual Events information and decision-making.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and local actions are listed in Table 4-1.

An incident shall be classified as an Unusual Event if the event is minor in nature, involves no releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring, and presents no immediate hazard to the public. Events in this classification are selected based upon a potential to degenerate to a more severe situation rather than an actual public hazard.

4.1.2 Alert An Alert is defined as that situation where, "Events are in process 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 Protective Action Guideline exposure levels." The Alert class involves relatively minor emergency situations that have a direct effect on the Plant safety-related systems. The Alert shall set into motion personnel onsite and offsite who would be required to perform actions up to and including the evacuation of near-site areas. The Alert class also addresses limited releases of radioactive material and, therefore, might require some assessment actions by the emergency organizations.

The purpose of the Alert declaration is to:

a. Assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required.
b. Provide offsite authorities current status information.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and local actions are listed in Table 4-1.

An incident shall be classified as an Alert if there is real or potential limited releases of radioactive material to the environment. A situation shall be classified at the Alert level only if EALs for higher classification have not been exceeded or are not expected to be exceeded in the near term.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 30 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 4.1.3 Site Area Emergency A Site Area Emergency is defined as that situation where, "Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.

The purpose of the Site Area Emergency declaration is to:

a. Assure that emergency response facilities are manned.
b. Assure that radiation-monitoring teams are dispatched both onsite and offsite.
c. Assure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at their duty stations if the situation becomes more serious.
d. Provide consultation with offsite authorities.
e. Provide updates for the public through offsite authorities.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and local actions are listed in Table 4-1. Although immediate protective actions are not automatically required, declaration of a Site Area Emergency shall set into motion all personnel onsite and offsite who would be required to perform actions up to and including the evacuation of near-site areas.

Dispatched radiation monitoring teams will make continuing assessments to provide officials with information to decide protective actions. The Site Area Emergency classification includes accidents that have significant radiation release potential.

Unlike the Unusual Event and Alert classifications of emergencies, the Site Area Emergency classification may involve some radiation exposure to the near-site public. Many of the accidents included in this classification have the potential for degradation to the General Emergency classification. Although the EALs for this classification have been selected at values well below the EPA PAGs, offsite monitoring team reports and continuing assessment actions shall lead to any final decision on protective actions to be taken.

Accidents that have significant potential for the release of radioactive material shall be classified as a Site Area Emergency.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 31 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 4.1.4 General Emergency The General Emergency is the most severe classification of emergency. The General Emergency classification is defined as that situation where, "Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area."

The purpose of the General Emergency declaration is to:

a. Initiate predetermined protective actions for the public.
b. Provide continuous assessment of information from Palisades Plant, and offsite monitoring groups.
c. Initiate additional measures as indicated by event releases or potential releases.
d. Provide consultation with offsite authorities.
e. Provide updates for the public through offsite authorities.

Guidelines for Plant, State, and local actions are listed in Table 4-1. Some protective actions may be recommended upon declaration of the General Emergency since the lower limits of the EPA PAGs are likely to be exceeded.

Emergency Action Levels (EAL) have been selected so that time should be available to make some confirmatory measurements in the field prior to implementation of the more extensive (ie, evacuation) protective action. Some of the General Emergency action levels require a dose projection calculation using actual meteorology. This differs from the adverse meteorology assumptions used in the Site Emergency action levels in order to remove this built-in conservatism and to preclude declaring a General Emergency when actual conditions do not warrant the higher classification.

Declaration of a General Emergency requires a recommendation to the State for protective actions for the local population.

4.2 CLASSIFICATION OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The events postulated in Section 14, Palisades Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), may be categorized into one or more of the four emergency classifications. A complete discussion of these events may be found in the FSAR.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 38 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES Emergency planning must consider the capabilities of the normally present operating staff, augmented by support from other utility personnel and local and distant support. The initial phases 'of an emergency situation at an operating nuclear power plant will involve a relatively small number of individuals. These individuals must be capable of: (1) determining that an emergency exists, (2) providing initial classification and assessment, and (3) promptly notifying other groups and individuals in the emergency organization.

The Palisades Plant Organization has complete capability, at all times, to perform the detection, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency. These capabilities are augmented, as required, by the Palisades Emergency Response Organization (ERO).

This section of the Site Emergency Plan addresses the assignment of personnel and the establishment of responsibilities and authority for the:

a. Palisades Plant Organization
b. Palisades Emergency Response Organization Figure 5-1 shows the interfaces between these organizations, governmental agencies, and the general public.

5.1 PALISADES PLANT ORGANIZATION The Palisades Nuclear Plant operating and shift engineering activities are under the control of the General Manager, Plant Operations. The operating and shift engineering activities at the Plant are conducted by operating crews on twelve-hour shifts. Each twelve-hour shift is responsible for continuous operation of the Plant.

5.2 OPERATING AND ENGINEERING ORGANIZATION The Palisades Plant organization includes personnel encompassing both the management and operation of the unit. The minimum on-shift staffing is indicated in Figure 5-2.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 39 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.2.1 GENERAL MANAGER, PLANT OPERATIONS The General Manager, Plant Operations is responsible for the technical and administrative management of the day-to-day physical operation of the Plant; this includes Operations, Chemistry and Radiological Services, Maintenance, and Planning and Scheduling.

5.2.2 Director - Emergency Programs The Director, Emergency Programs, is directly responsible for Entergy Emergency Preparedness, including: company-wide projects, National emergency interfaces, and regulatory issues.

5.2.3 Director - Engineering The Director - Engineering is responsible for system and design engineering, nuclear engineering, engineering programs, dry fuel services, and nuclear fuel supply.

5.2.6 Shift Manager The Shift Manager, one of whom is on duty at all times, is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the Plant during his assigned shift. He maintains control over Plant operations as the Senior Licensed Operator unless he is properly relieved by another member of the Plant staff who holds a valid Senior Operator's License.

In an emergency condition, the Shift Manager initially assumes the role of Emergency Director.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 40 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.2.7 Shift Engineers/Shift Technical Advisors (SE/STA)

Shift Engineers/Shift Technical Advisors function in an oversight role for accident assessment and evaluation of operating conditions. While on duty, SE/STAs diagnose abnormal events and report to the Shift Manager. In an emergency condition, the SE/STA provides SEP oversight and may assist the Shift Manager in his role as Emergency Director.

5.3 PALISADES EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION In the event of an emergency in which one of the classification levels is declared (Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency), all or a portion of the Site Emergency Plan will be activated. The assignment of responsibilities in the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is ultimately the responsibility of the General Manager, Plant Operations. However, the ERO is predefined and alternate assignments to various positions are specified to provide for automatic, unambiguous manning of the emergency organization within the time necessary to respond to the emergency.

In general, the emergency organization will be housed in five emergency response centers:

a. Control Room
b. Technical Support Center
c. Operations Support Center
d. Emergency Operations Facility
e. Joint Information Center 5.3.1 Control Room The Control Room is designed to be habitable under accident conditions and shall serve as the on-site Emergency Control Center. Emergency lighting, power, air filtration-ventilation system, and shielded walls enable the operators to remain in the Control Room to ensure that the reactor remains in a safe condition. The minimum on-shift staffing is indicated in Figure 5-2.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 41 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.3.2 Technical Support Center The Technical Support Center (TSC) will provide Plant management and technical support to Operations personnel during emergency conditions and guidance to Control Room operating personnel to mitigate the effects of the emergency condition.

The TSC organization can be found in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-4.1, "Technical Support Center Activation."

5.3.3 Operations Support Center The Operations Support Center (OSC) will coordinate Emergency Maintenance, Radiation Protection, and Chemistry activities of Plant personnel. The Control Room or TSC (when activated) will direct the priorities for the OSC. The OSC organization can be found in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-4.2, "Operations Support Center Activation."

5.3.4 Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)

The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is located in downtown Benton Harbor, approximately 16 miles South Southwest from the Plant. The EOF staff is responsible for overall management of an emergency and for communicating with external agencies upon transfer of responsibility from the Control Room.

Activation of the EOF is mandatory at the Alert, Site Area, and General Emergency Classifications. Activation of the EOF at an Unusual Event will be at the request of the Shift Manager. The EOF will be staffed by Plant personnel. The initial staff may be supplemented by federal, state, and local officials.

Once activated and operational, the EOF Emergency Director will be responsible for management of overall emergency response. The EOF will coordinate emergency response activities with federal, state, and local agencies to mitigate the consequences of an emergency. The EOF organization can be found in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-4.3, "Emergency Operations Facility Activation."

The EOF provides an alternative facility, with communications capabilities for contacting the Control Room and plant security, to serve as a staging area for augmented emergency response staff if the site is under threat of, or experiencing hostile action.

The design features of the EOF are discussed in Palisades Site Emergency Plan, Section 7.0, "Emergency Facilities and Equipment."

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 42 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.3.5 Joint Information Center (JIC)

5.4.2 Shift Manager/Emergency Plant Manager The Shift Manager/Emergency Plant Manager may not delegate the decision to evacuate the site or the decision to authorize exposures that exceed the 10 CFR 20 regulatory exposure limits for emergency workers.

Prior to activation of the EOF, the decision to recommend protective actions to off-site organizations also cannot be delegated. The EOF Director, in consultation with the Shift Manager, will assume this responsibility after the EOF is activated.

For backshifts and weekends, the Duty Station Manager assumes the role of the Plant General Manager.

The Shift Manager assumes the responsibilities of the Site Emergency Plan until NOTE:

relieved b the EOF Director.

The Emergency Plant Manager shall be assigned to the Technical Support Center once it is activated.

5.5 RECOVERY ORGANIZATION Recovery after an emergency condition will be handled by the emergency organization unless conditions indicate that recovery will be complicated or will take a long period of time. At the discretion of the EOF Emergency Director, the Plant will shift from an emergency organization structure to a Recovery Organization.

Guidelines that will be employed for determining this shift are explained in Palisades Site Emergency Plan, Section 9.0, "Recovery."

The Recovery Organization will depend upon the nature of the accident and the situations preceding the accident.

The TSC Engineering Coordinator will also support the EOF Rad Assessment Coordinator in determining how much radioactivity potentially can be released to the atmosphere based on the nature and extent of core damage.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 44 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 5.6 OFF-SITE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES The potential consequences of some emergencies may require the support services of off-site individuals, organizations, and agencies.

Emergency measures begin with the following:
1. Recognition, classification, and declaration of an emergency condition.
2. Notification of the applicable agencies and personnel (Figure 6-1).
3. Mobilization of the appropriate portions of the emergency organization.
b. Emergency measures are additionally organized into the following categories:
1. Assessment actions
2. Corrective actions
3. Protective actions These measures are described in the following sections for each emergency classification.

6.1 ACTIVATION OF THE EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION If it appears that an incident or condition may meet or exceed a predetermined value or condition specified as an Emergency Action Level in Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-1, "Emergency Classification and Actions," and SEP Supplement 1 "SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Supplement 1 - EAL Wall Charts" then certain portions of this plan and specific procedures shall require implementation.

The Shift Manager will initially classify the emergency and ensure required notifications are made. The Shift Manager shall ensure that an overall assessment of the emergency is performed in order to determine the most appropriate classification and, based on this determination, activate portions of the emergency organization as necessary. The Shift Engineer/Shift Technical Advisor may assist the Shift Manager in performing these functions. The methodology used in activating the emergency organizations during each class of emergency is provided in the following sections:

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 63 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.1.6 Affected Counties: Van Buren County, Berrien County, and Allegan County Emergency responsibilities of County Emergency Management include communication support to the responding county departments, providing warning and notification to the public, and assuring the continuation of vital services during the emergency.

6.2 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS Effective coordination and direction of all portions of the emergency organization require almost continuous accident assessment during the course of the emergency.

Each emergency class will require similar accident assessment methods; however, each classification imposes a different magnitude of assessment effort. In the following steps, the assessment actions to be taken for each emergency classification are outlined.

6.2.1 Assessment Actions for Unusual Events The detection of an Unusual Event shall arise from exceeding a specific Emergency Action Level for this class. Detection of the event will come as a result of alarms, instrument readings, recognition through experience, or any combination thereof.

The continuing assessment actions to be performed for this classification of emergency shall be in accordance with the Emergency Implementing Procedures and shall consist of the normal monitoring of Control Room and other Plant instrumentation and status indication until the situation is resolved. If a fire is the reason for the declaration of an Unusual Event, the Shift Manager will make continuing assessments based on his knowledge and experience on whether offsite firefighting assistance is needed.

6.2.2 Assessment Actions for Alerts When an accident has been classified as an Alert by the Shift Manager, assessment actions shall be performed in accordance with the Emergency Implementing Procedures for an Alert.

These actions include:

a. Accountability of onsite personnel.
b. Staff augmentation, as needed.
c. Increased surveillance of in-plant instrumentation.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 64 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

d. Activation of appropriate emergency facilities.
e. Dispatch of shift personnel, if possible, to the identified problem area for confirmation and visual assessment.
f. Dispatch of onsite Radiation Monitoring Teams to monitor for possible release and to provide confirmation of correct accident classification.
g. If a radiological accident is occurring, surveillance of the in-plant instrumentation is necessary to obtain meteorological and radiological data required for calculating or estimating projected doses. This dose assessment activity shall continue until termination of the emergency in order that the updating of initial assessments may be provided to all concerned offsite agencies, the Shift Manager, and EOF Emergency Director. Emergency Implementing Procedures are provided to aid in a rapid, consistent projection of doses.

6.2.3 Assessment Actions for Site Area Emergencies The assessment actions for the Site Area Emergency classification are similar to the actions for an Alert; however, due to the increased magnitude of the possible release of radioactive material, a significantly larger assessment will occur. The necessary personnel for this assessment effort shall be provided by mobilization of the onsite and offsite emergency organizations.

Specifically:

a. An increased amount of Plant instrumentation shall be monitored, in particular, indications of core status (eg, in-core thermocouple readings, etc) shall be monitored.
b. Radiological monitoring efforts shall be increased. Onsite and offsite radiological monitoring teams will be dispatched. In addition to beta-gamma field measurements, change out of environmental thermo luminescent dosimeters (TLD), air sampling, and collection of the environmental media for assessment of radioactive material transport and deposition may also be performed.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 65 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

c. Dose assessment activities will be conducted more frequently with an increased emphasis on dose projections for use as a factor in determining the necessity for protective actions for the public. Radiological (eg, TLDs) and meteorological instrumentation readings shall be used to project the dose rate at predetermined distances from the Plant, and to determine the integrated dose received. In reporting the dose projections to offsite agencies, the dose rate, dose, and the basis for the time used for the dose estimate shall always be provided. Any confirmation of dose rates by offsite Radiation Monitoring Teams shall be reflected in reporting and/or revising the dose estimate information provided to offsite agencies.

Dose projections shall be considered with respect to the Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guides (Table 6-1). Reporting of assessments to offsite authorities shall include the relationship of the dose to these guidelines. Emergency Implementing Procedures will be provided for recording all pertinent information.

6.2.4 Assessment Actions for General Emergencies Assessment actions for the General Emergency classification shall be the same as for the Site Area Emergency with some possible shift of emphasis to greater offsite radiation monitoring and dose projections extending to distances farther from the site.

6.2.5 Estimation of Offsite Dose The Emergency Implementing Procedures (reference Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-6.0, "Rapid Dose Calculation") contain several methods for calculating offsite dose to population from accidental releases. These methods include:

a. Computer Method - Implements the above method using a personal computer to speed the process.
b. Manual Method - A pencil and paper method for calculating offsite dose using precalculated diffusion factors and a straight line Gaussian methodology.
c. Segmented Gaussian - Variable trajectory Plume model.

The above methods have been developed in cooperation with state agencies and provide methods for rapid, accurate dose estimates.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 66 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.2.6 Data Reporting, Recording, and Analysis Specially assigned personnel at all designated emergency centers have the responsibility for collecting, recording, and analyzing data transmitted to them.

Preplanned emergency logs and procedures are provided to ensure that all necessary information is received and recorded. Included will be:

a. Data from emergency survey teams as available. This will be recorded to define the affected environs.
b. Evacuated Plant personnel will be questioned to gather all possible information on observed conditions.
c. In addition to incoming data, a log of events occurring at the emergency centers (TSC, OSC, EOF) and Control Room will be kept. Individual sections of this log will record such items as personnel exposure, contamination levels, communications, and check-off lists.

6.2.7 Interviewing Evacuees or Other Witnesses Information from personnel evacuating the site may be collected at the evacuation control point as directed by the Emergency Plant Manager. This information shall be reported to the TSC when possible.

6.2.8 Assessment Results Communications The EOF Emergency Director is notified of assessment results from the site and from offsite support agencies. The EOF Emergency Director, in turn, is responsible for communication back to those groups so that emergency measures may be modified as necessary.

6.3 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS Detailed operating procedures are available to the operators for use during emergencies as well as during normal operations. Specific emergency procedures are provided to assist the operators in placing the Plant in a safe condition and taking the necessary supplemental corrective actions. In addition, operations personnel are trained in the operation of the Plant systems and their associated procedures and are, therefore, capable of taking appropriate corrective actions based on their training, knowledge, and experience.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 67 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Corrective actions shall be planned events that are taken to lessen or terminate the emergency situation. Planned radioactive releases or corrective actions that may result in a radioactive release shall be evaluated by the EOF Emergency Director, and his staff, as far in advance of the event as is possible. Such events and data pertaining to the release shall be reported to the appropriate offsite emergency response organization and/or agencies.

6.3.1 Fire Control Provisions for firefighting and control are described in the Fire Protection Implementing Procedures. The Covert Township Fire Department and the South Haven Fire Department provide Offsite backup firefighting support.

In-plant firefighting equipment ranges from portable extinguishers to automatic sprinkler control. The Plant emergency organization includes a trained fire brigade for immediate response to any fire situation.

The Van Buren Dispatch, via 911, is first to be called. They are required to dispatch both Covert and South Haven Fire Departments. These departments consist of personnel trained for firefighting, including situations involving radioactive contamination. Additional support is available from fire departments in nearby Allegan and Berrien Counties through mutual aid agreements. These fire departments are also trained and equipped for rescue work and control of hazardous gas leaks, including chlorine gas.

6.3.2 Repair and Damage Control The Palisades Plant staff is comprised of technically and vocationally trained personnel capable of improvising necessary repair and control measures for correction of an emergency situation. Wherever possible, corrective measures are anticipated and included in emergency and operating procedures.

6.3.3 System Control System design is aimed at automatic corrective actions, such as Plant shutdown and system isolation, whenever operating parameters become abnormal. Operating procedures are written for manual control of these same situations, should automatic features fail.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 68 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.4 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Protective actions are emergency measures taken during or after an emergency situation that are intended to minimize or eliminate the hazard to the health and safety of the general public and/or Plant personnel. Such actions taken onsite are the responsibility of the Entergy Corporation, while those offsite actions are the responsibility of the State of Michigan and local political jurisdictions. Protective Action Guides for the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Michigan are shown on Tables 6-1 and 6-2. All visitors to the site protected area shall be either escorted by an employee knowledgeable as to the Emergency Plan response actions or shall receive training on actions required by them during an emergency.

6.4.1 Sheltering, Evacuation, Personnel Accountability During an emergency, the relocation of personnel may be required in order to prevent or minimize exposure to radiation and radioactive materials. The following steps present information on policies applicable to such situations:

a. Plant Site
1. Notification All persons onsite at the time of an Alert, Site Area, or General Emergency shall be notified of the emergency by a two-minute steady siren and an announcement over the public address system in the assembly areas. Notification of an Unusual Event should be over the Plant public address system. For the Alert and above, personnel shall be instructed to report to assembly areas for accountability, monitoring, and possible evacuation. Personnel accountability shall be completed in approximately 30 minutes. Specific assembly areas are designated in the Emergency Implementing Procedures. All personnel shall be trained in the locations of the assembly areas, or be escorted by an employee who is so trained. At the assembly area, members of the emergency organization shall direct efforts per the applicable Emergency Implementing Procedure. These procedures shall provide contingency plans for weather, traffic, and radiological impediments to evacuation.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 69 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

2. Site Access Control Provisions for control of access to the Palisades site have been included in the Safeguards Contingency Procedures to take care of personnel entering for business purposes and for those who might inadvertently enter. Access to the exclusion areas of the Plant is controlled by the Plant security force. Offsite support is provided by local and/or state law enforcement personnel.
3. Monitoring of Evacuees A combination of checking electronic dosimeters and questioning of evacuees will be used to initially determine if there were any high external exposures involved in the emergency. For any known or suspected high exposures, the permanent dosimeters will be read as soon as possible and further investigation will be conducted to determine the amount of exposure or necessary actions to be taken.

Monitoring for contamination and internal ingestion at the assembly areas will be accomplished by using portable instrumentation and questioning. Priority for decontamination will be given persons found with the highest levels of contamination. Any persons suspected or known to have ingested radioactivity will be whole-body counted, as soon as conditions permit, to assess their internal exposure.

Decontamination supplies for evacuees shall be available.

4. Egress Routes Three potential routes are available: Plant access road to the east and the beach to the north or south. Unless conditions dictate otherwise, the Plant access road to the east will be the primary evacuation route.

An evacuation procedure shall require a personnel accountability check at the appropriate control point/monitoring station. Security officers shall be dispatched by the Emergency Plant Manager to stop ingress from the access roads and to assist Plant personnel evacuating the site. A control point/monitoring station shall be established along the egress route in an area expected to be outside the path of possible radioactive releases.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 70 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

b. Offsite Areas
1. Agency Responsibilities The Palisades Nuclear Plant is located in Van Buren County (Covert Township), and the 10-mile emergency planning zone includes portions of Allegan and Berrien counties, including the city of South Haven. In a radiological emergency, operational coritrol will be from the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Lansing, with local operation control from the county EOCs. Each county has an Emergency Preparedness Plan which is a legal document in compliance with Act 390 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1976.

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is responsible for directing radiation control programs and emergency responses within the state as stated in Act 368, Michigan Public Acts of 1978 and the Michigan Emergency Management Plan (MEMP), and the Governor's Executive Order 1996-1 .

The Deputy State Director of Emergency Management of the Michigan State Police provides overall coordination of emergency operations, including the use of all state government resources upon proclamation of a State of Disaster, or State of Emergency by the Governor. The Michigan State Police will coordinate the disaster response activities of all departments of State Government.

2. Notification and Response The local government will provide notification of the general public involved and define and identify this population. The state government will give detailed directions for protection of this population, including provisions for evacuation of personnel from affected sectors of the environs if necessary.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 71 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

3. Protective Actions Protective action procedures are covered in the Michigan Emergency Preparedness Plan and the Van Buren, Allegan, and Berrien County Emergency Plans. In summary, these plans contain the following:

(a) A public warning system composed of two components, alert and notification.

(1) The alert component is comprised of a siren system which provides coverage for a 10 mile radius around the plant, and allows the resident and transient populations to be warned within 15 minutes of the issuance of a protective action.

(2) The notification component consists of several local radio stations that broadcast appropriate initial and follow-up messages on protective actions to be taken.

(3) If a backup means of public alerting and notification is necessary, other television/radio communications, vehicles with mobile public address systems (Route Alerting) and other means as necessary can be utilized.

(b) Predesignated areas are based on continuous mile circles from the Palisades Plant. These areas will be used by the responsible authorities in ordering protective actions.

(c) A communication system has been established for emergency notification of offsite agencies having protective response assignments.

(d) Emergency response and evacuation plans for offsite areas have been formulated by state and local agencies. Evacuation clear times for areas near Palisades are shown in Appendix C.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 72 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.4.2 Contamination Control Measures This section describes the provisions for preventing or minimizing direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other contaminable surfaces.

a. Plant Area Access to the owner-controlled area shall be controlled. In addition, within the owner-controlled area, there are no areas for producing agricultural products. In-plant contamination control shall be exercised in accordance with approved radiation protection procedures.
b. Offsite Areas Criteria for preventing or minimizing ingestion of, or exposure to, contaminated materials or areas is contained in the Michigan Emergency Management Plan.

Included are:

1. Isolation or quarantine and area access control.
2. Control of the distribution of affected commercial agricultural crops.
3. Control of public water supplies.
4. Means for providing advisory information regarding the use of affected home food and water supplies.
5. Criteria for permitting return to normal use.

Action levels and responsibilities for execution of these measures are included. Contaminated areas will be barricaded and posted to control access until time allows for decontamination activities. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality representatives will be responsible for these actions and will be assisted by other Michigan State Departments and/or Entergy Corporation upon request.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 73 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.5 AID TO AFFECTED PERSONNEL 6.5.1 Emergency Personnel Exposure Criteria Although an emergency situation transcends the normal requirements for limiting exposure, there are suggested levels of exposure acceptable in emergencies. Even under these conditions, every reasonable effort to minimize exposure must be made and personnel must be provided with appropriate monitoring devices. Three categories of risk versus benefit must be considered:

a. Saving of human life and reduction of injury.
b. Protection of health and safety of the public.
c. Protection of property.

In order to avoid restricting actions that may be necessary to save lives, it shall be left to the judgment of the individual to determine the amount of exposure that he will accept to perform an emergency action that will result in the saving of human life.

Emergency team members are instructed in radiation effects and the risks involved for emergency doses. Basic guidelines provided to emergency team members are the EPA recommendations contained in Table 6-3. These exposures must be authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager based on the recommendation of the TSC Rad Coordinator.

The Radiation Protection Procedures shall be followed. In the event emergency exposure limits are approved, the same administrative methods for dose control shall be used with the higher emergency exposure limits.

Once the emergency condition has been mitigated, steps shall be taken to recover from the incident. All actions from this point shall be preplan ned in order to limit exposures. Normal exposure limits will be used, areas will be controlled, and exposure of personnel documented.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 74 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 6.5.2 Decontamination and First Aid Onsite personnel decontamination facilities for emergency conditions are fully equipped with decontamination material. The decontamination facility at Palisades Plant is located at the access control area of the auxiliary building.

The decontamination facility consists of a shower, sink, and first-aid kits.

Decontamination supplies such as various decontamination solutions and surgical brushes will be stored in the decontamination facility. Emergency equipment located around the site is available and includes personnel monitoring equipment. There are also additional personnel monitoring equipment located at the access control area including dosimeters, and high and low-range survey instruments. A comprehensive list of materials and equipment available for use can be found in Appendix E.

In an emergency situation, decontamination is the responsibility of the Radiation Monitoring Team. When decontamination of an area or equipment is required, personnel from Operations, Maintenance, and Radiation Protection will work jointly.

Medical first-aid training is provided to designated members of the Plant emergency organization that, as a minimum, includes the Red Cross Multimedia course or equivalent, combined with the American Heart Association Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation course. This training for members of the Plant staff also includes methods of handling contaminated patients and/or injuries. At least one person on each operating shift is required to have this first-aid training.

The Covert Township Fire Department ambulance personnel and the South Haven Area Emergency Services ambulance staff are trained in caring for radiologically contaminated victims.

6.5.3 Medical Treatment In the event of a serious accident at Palisades Plant requiring medical treatment, agreements have been made with the area hospitals. These hospitals are:

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 102 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 9.2.3 Conduct comprehensive radiation surveillance of Plant facilities and define radiological problem areas.

9.2.4 Isolate and post areas in the Plant with appropriate warning signs and rope barriers, as Radiation Areas, High Radiation Areas, and Contaminated Areas, as appropriate.

9.3 The nature and extent of the emergency situation will determine what recovery operations are required. The Recovery Organization described in Section 5 will be established as directed by the Recovery Manager.

9.3.1 In order for the recovery phase of the emergency to commence, the conditions which caused the incident must no longer exist. It is the responsibility of the EOF Emergency Director to determine that the facility and/or surroundings are safe.

9.3.2 The following criteria must be met before the recovery and reentry phase can begin:

a. The Plant is in a controlled and stable condition,
b. The release of radioactive materials to the environment is under control or has ceased.
c. In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing.
d. Fire, flood, etc, is under control or has ceased.
e. At least one level of redundancy in plant systems should be available to prevent reinitiation of the event.
f. Consensus has been reached among the SED, EOF Director, NRC, and the State.

9.4 The initial objectives of the recovery program are the determination of the damage to equipment, the installation of shielding, rope barriers and signs, the application of clearance tags, decontamination, and cleanup as required to place the Plant in an acceptable long-term condition. Other recovery operations will not be initiated until the area affected by the emergency has been defined. Particular attention will be directed toward isolating and tagging out components and systems as required to control or minimize hazards. A systematic investigation will be conducted to determine the equipment damaged and the extent of the damage.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT SEP SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 30 Page 103 of 104 TITLE: SITE EMERGENCY PLAN 9.5 Once the initial objectives are completed, a detailed investigation of the accident causes and consequences both to the Plant and to the environment will be conducted. Determination will be made as to the equipment repair work required as well as the need to modify Plant operating procedures. Repair work and approved modifications shall be carried out as authorized. Test programs to confirm fitness for return to service will be developed and executed.

9.6 Recovery operations will be conducted in compliance with normal operational radiation exposure levels as specified in 10 CFR 20. When possible, any necessary releases of radiation during recovery will be planned, controlled, evaluated in advance for radiological impact, and appropriate offsite organizations and agencies informed of the scheduled releases and estimated impact.

9.7 The State EOC will be advised when the Plant deems it safe to begin the reentry phase of the offsite recovery operation. If the Governor has ordered an evacuation, it is legally required for the Governor to officially rescind the order. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is responsible for coordinating reentry procedures for the offsite population.

qeB.... ~~

From !RBrunet. Sr Plant Emergency Planning Coordinator CONSUMERS POWER Date December 30, 1986 COMPANY Subject PALISADES PLANT- Internal BASIS FOR DELETION OF APPENDIX B Correspondence OF THE PALISADES SITE EMERGENCY PLAN CC DCC: 950/22*06*OI/LP JRB86*078 The following basis for deleting Appendix B of the Palisades Site Emergency Plan was taken from the 12/17/86 memorandum by RAEnglish and DLFugere. This document is filed in Document Control under A200/22*06*Ol/LP.

I A. The plots of calculated time/distance/dose contained in Appendix B were generated during the development of evacuation time estimates.

They were placed in the Plan because it was thought that this information might be useful during an emergency. The plots are no longer needed because this information can be more quickly obtained through the Companys' new automated dose assessment program maintained on the IBM PC's or the backup manual dose calculation procedures.

In addition, the plots are only applicable for Maximum Hypothetical Accident Conditions where as the automated program or manual procedures provide results which are applicable for any accident scenario.

B. NUREG-0654. Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans & Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, does not indicate that these plots have to be in the Plan.

C. The plots are not referenced in the Plan nor are they used in the Emergency Implementing Procedures.

II A. The curves of dose rate versus time since reactor shutdown. based on the containment isolation monitors RIA-180S thru RIA-1808 contained in Appendix B are typical of working level material and as such should not be in the Plan. NUREG-0654 does not require this type of material in the Plan.
