Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 1: Introduction As required in the conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the operating licenses for the Exelon Nuclear Stations, the management of Exelon recognizes its responsibility and authority to operate and maintain the nuclear power stations in such a manner as to provide for the safety of the general public.
The Exelon Emergency Preparedness Program consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan (E-Plan), Station Annexes, emergency plan implementing procedures, and associated program administrative* documents. The Exelon E-Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. Planning efforts common to all Exelon Nuclear stations are encompassed within the E-Plan.
This document serves as the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMPNS) Emergency Plan Annex and contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. This includes facility geography location for a full understanding and representation of the station's emergency response capabilities. The Station Annex is subject to the same review and audit requirements as the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Emergency Plan.
1.1 Purpose This Station Annex describes the total preparedness program established, implemented and coordinated by NMPNS to assure the capability and readiness of coping with and mitigating both onsite and offsite consequences of radiological emergencies.
The Station Annex covers the spectrum of emergencies from minor localized incidents to major emergencies involving protective measures by offsite response organizations. Included are guidelines for immediate response, assessment of emergency situations, defined action criteria and delineation of support functions.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide detailed information for individuals who may be involved with specific emergency response functions.
This Station Annex provides for a graded scale of response to distinct classifications for emergency conditions, action within those classifications, and criteria 'for escalation to a more severe classification. This classification system is compatible with that used by the State of New York and the Oswego County Emergency Management Office. The plans have four emergency categories:
Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. In addition to notifying the offsite agencies of the existing emergency classification, provisions are made in the implementing procedures for the Station to advise the State and County of appropriate protective actions.
1.2 Emergency Organization The organization for control of emergencies begins with the shift organization of the affected unit(s) and contains provisions for augmentation and extension to include other Division personnel, and outside emergency response organizations. As an incident increases in severity or potential severity, the emergency response and corresponding response organization must necessarily increase in size. Staffing levels have been established to provide appropriate response and are discussed in detail in Section 2.0 of this Station Annex.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 1.3 Interrelationship Between Emergency Plan and Other Procedures Interrelationship of this Station Annex with other procedures, plans and emergency arrangements is necessary to ensure an effective response organization. These interrelated documents include:
- a. Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are designed to detail specific actions required by Station personnel in response to rac;liological and non-radiological emergency conditions. A listing of th~se procedures is contained in Appendix C.
- b. Operating Procedures (OP), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) Special Operating Procedures (SOP), and Severe Accident Procedures (SAP) detail immediate and subsequent operator actions in response to various system transients. These operating procedures are coordinated with the Station Annex and its implementing procedures to ensure appropriate actions are taken on a timely basis.
- c. Station Chemistry Department and Radiation Protection Department Procedures define health physics requirements for the control and handling of radiqactive materials, personnel decontamination, and respiratory protection, sampling techniques, radiation survey techniques and radiation exposure guidelines. Selected procedures, which are applicable to both normal and emergency conditions, are used in conjunction with the Station Annex and its implementing procedures.
- d. Station Physical Security and Fire Protection Plans and their implementing procedures, provide overall guidance and specific instructions to Nuclear Security and Station personnel for emergencies involving security or fire.
These plans and procedures are coordinated with the Station Annex and its implementing procedures to ensure compatibility, and with Offsite Plans to ensure prompt access for Offsite Response Organization Responders when necessary.
- e. The Oswego County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, in conjunction with this Station Annex and its implementing procedures, provide for early and redundant notification schemes, continued assessment and update of radiological conditions, and the coordination of onsite and offsite protective actions.
The concept of operations,. and its relationship to the Federal, State, local and private organizations that are part of the overall emergency response organizations, is described in Section 2.0 and 4.0. A block diagram, which illustrates these interrelationships, is included in Station Annex, Figures 4.1-4.3, Emergency Organizations Interfaces. Illustrations of how the interfaces between various segments of response organizations change during various phases of emergency and recovery operations are shown in Station Annex, Section 4.
March 2018 NM 1-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section describes the Exelon Emergency Response Organization (ERO) at Nine Mile Point, its key positions and associated responsibilities. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.
2.1 Typical Nuclear Division/Station Organization The typical Nuclear Division organization for normal operation is shown in GAP-POL-01, Composition and Responsibility of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station LLC Organization.
Personnel in certain categories, principally Operations, Chemistry and Radiation Protection work in shifts so that coverage is provided 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day. For certain station conditions, such as outages, testing, etc., personnel who do not normally work on shift may work other than normal hours to provide extended coverage.
The minimum staffing at each Unit during normal operation is contained in the NMP On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report, EP-AA-1013, Addendum 1. A detailed analysis of initial on-shift responsibilities and response to an emergency condition is contained in the NMP On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report, EP-AA-1013, Addendum 1.
2.1.1 Station Responsibility During Normal Working Hours During normal working hours, the Vice President Nine Mile Point has overall responsibility for the site. The Plant Manager has overall responsibility for Unit 1 and Unit 2 operations. The Shift Manager (SM) on duty has responsibility for ensuring that the Unit is operated safely and within the respective license and Technical Specification requirements.
The SM has the authority and responsibility to order shutdown of the reactor and/or declare an emergency if required. Also, any licensed reactor operator on duty in a Control Room can shutdown (scram) the reactor if it is in an unsafe condition.
2.1.2 Station Responsibility During Off-Normal Working Hours During off-normal working hours, the SM's have overall responsibility for the site and safe operation of their respective units. Selected management personnel are on call and may be reached through the use of an approved notification system if a SM needs to notify them of an event that requires technical consultation or requires additional personnel.
However, it is the on-duty SM who has the responsibility and authority to declare an emergency. Upon declaring an emergency, the SM immediately becomes the Shift Emergency Director.
In the event of an emergency declaration due to an initiating condition affecting both Unit 1 and Unit 2, both Units' SMs will confer and determine:
March 2018 NM 2-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- The Shift Manager of the Unit with the higher emergency classification will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- If emergency classification levels are equal, the SM first notified will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- . If there is any question as to who should initiate the Station Annex, the Unit 1 SM shall assume the Shift Emergency Director duties.
2.2 On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignments The initial phases of an emergency situation at a nuclear station will most likely involve 1:1 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 subsequent phases of the emergency situation may require an increasing. augmentation of the emergency organization.
I All emergency facilities will have minimum staffing within 60 minutes. Minimum staff positions are defined in Table 2.1.
All Exelon Nuclear stations have the capability at all times to perform detection, mitigati6n, classification, and notification functions required in the early phases of an emergency.
2.3 Authority Over The Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station. The Emergency Director will immediately and unilaterally initiate , any emergency actions, including providing protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
The Shift Manager is available at all times to assume the responsibilities of Emergency Director. Qualified individuals are on-call to respond to the EOF and TSC relieve the Shift Manager of Emergency Director duties.
2.4 Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)
The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with t~e Shift Manager. Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate when an event has been declared.
March 2018 NM 2-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear The Emergency Director responsibilities are initially assumed by the Shift Manager. If the event is classified at an Alert or Higher level, or the Shift Manager deems it appropriate, the Shift ERO will be augmented by the on-call ERO.
The on-call Corporate Emergency Director will report to the EOF and assume overall Command and Control. In accordance with the Nine Mile Point Emergency Plan, the Station Emergency Director reports to the TSC and assumes the responsibilities to classify and declare emergencies and emergency exposure controls.
The Shift Manager is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:
- Adequate staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
- The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
- A formal turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and* Control has been made.
2.5 Non-Delegable Responsibilities Functional responsibilities of an Emergency Director that may not be delegated are:
- Classify and declare emergencies.
- Direct and approve offsite emergency notifications to state and local authorities.
- Make Protective Action Recommendations to offsite authorities.
- Approve and direct emergency exposure controls.
The Station Emergency Director (TSC) will relieve the Shift Emergency Director and assume authority and responsibility for performing the non-delegable duties of classification and emergency exposure controls, the Corporate Emergency Director (EOF) will relieve the Shift Emergency Director of overall Command and Control and assume the non-delegable responsibilities for PAR determination and notifications to offsite authorities.
March 2018 NM 2-3 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.6 Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities Table 2.1 outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. The full augmentation staffing levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible events. For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability. However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.
The station's ERO consist of three major sub groups reporting to the Emergency Director:
The primary functions of the Onsite ERO is perform mitigative actions and ensure appropriate onsite protective actions are taken.
- Offsite ERO, consisting of EOF staff. The primary functions of the Offsite ERO are to interface with offsite authorities and perform offsite radiological assessment.
- Rublic Information ERO, consisting of JIC staff. The primary function of the Public information ERO is to provide accurate information to the public through News Media.
2.7 Emergency Response Organization Block Diagram Figures 2.2 through 2.6 show the reporting chains and interfaces of the ERO.
2.8 Corporate Emergency Response Organization In the event of a declared emergency at one of Exelon's Nuclear Stations, a Corporate Duty Officer is notified. The Duty Officer will notify senior company management personnel of the event. The Emergency Director will keep senior management informed of events and any need for assistance.
Specific departments of the company may be called on to assist as necessary to provide support for logistics, public information, finance, technical issues, etc ..
Senior management may assist with interfacing government authorities and other outside organizations.
2.9 Industry/Private Support Organizations Exelon retains contractors to provide supporting services to the company's nuclear generating stations. For station specific support, copies of current contracts and letters of agreement with these groups are maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Department.
Current contracts and letters of agreement are maintained in the Emergency Preparedness Department's files.
March 2018 NM 2-4 EP-AA-1 O13 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.10 Coordination with Participating Government Agencies 2.10.1 Federal Agencies The principal Federal government agencies having emergency responsibilities relative t9 the NMPNS, and a summary of those responsibilities, are:
- a. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
The DOE, Brookhaven Area Office, will respond to requests from NMPNS for assistance. This assistance is limited to advice and emergency action(s) essential for the control of the immediate hazards to public health and safety.
The primary method of notification to DOE is by commercial telephone.
Notification may also be made through NRC. Assistance can be requested by the NMPNS ED/RM, the Oswego County Emergency Management Director or the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health. Medical Assistance provided by DOE could also .
include medical assistance by the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) Support from Oak Ridge.
When notified of an emergency the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan (FRMAP) team would request a Coast Guard helicopter pick up a six person team at Brookhaven and fly them to the Nine Mile Roint area with their equipment. Approximate arrival time of five (5) hours from notification is expected. This team would provide initial radiation surveys, obtain airborne samples and analyze these samples with the equipment available. The team would also act as an advance party to establish an initial base of operations for follow-on personnel. A possible location for the FRMAP team to set up operations is the Oswego County Airport, which is about ten (10) miles from the NMPNS and in close proximity to the Emergency Response Facilities yet still outside of the 10 mile EPZ. Use of this airport facility would also allow for equipment to be flown in on fixed wing aircraft close to the facilities that would be used for staging and dispatch.
Jwo (2) licensed hydroelectric developments are situated within a ten (10) mile radius of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station and the James A.
Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The Minetto and Varick Hydroelectric Stations are part of Project Number 2474 licensed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. A plan has been developed to implement a response plan to safely shutdown and evacuate these hydroelectric facilities. This would be done in the event of a radiological emergency at
.either nuclear station. In addition, this plan addresses the means to minimize the impact to the public as a result of this emergency shutdown of the hydroelectric stations.
March 2018 NM 2-5 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point'.Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.10.2 State and Local Agencies This section identifies the principal State and local government agencies having action responsibilities in the event of a radiological emergency, including a Hostile Action Based event, in the vicinity of the NMPNS. The radiological emergency response plans of these agencies: describe their respective responsibilities, authorities, capabilities and emergency functions; contain provision*s for preparedness and response to radiological emergencies by each organization; and contain the primary and alternate methods of emergency notifications.
The OCEMO is the lead government agency for coordination and response at the local level. The Oswego County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan contains provisions for:
I
- Planning and coordination with local, State and Federal authorities
- Initial response to notification by NMPNS
- , Alert and warning of local political subdivision
- Notification of other emergency response personnel
- Public information concerning the incident
- Evacuation and other protective measures for local populations Normally the OCEMO is notified by NMPNS via the County Warning Point.
It may, however, be notified by the New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYSOEM). A secondary method of notification is via radio from the NMPNS to the County EOC or County Warning Point.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 3: Emergency Conditions 3.1 Classification System The spectrum of probable and postulated emergency conditions have been categorized into four emergency classes. Emergency Action Level (EAL) criteria have been specified for recognizing, categorizing and declaring emergency classes based, to the extent feasible, on readily available information such as Control Room instrumentation. In many cases the emergency classification is immediately apparent from in-plant instrumentation and is* consistent with requirements of USN RC Regulatory Guide 1.101. In other cases more extensive assessment is necessary to determine the applicable emergency classification.
In any case, continuing assessment ensures that the emergency classification is commensurate with the severity of the emergency condition.
The information is presented by recognition Category with the associated Unit system/ equipment or instrument parameters clearly defined:
- Reactor Fuel
- Electrical Failures
- Equipment Failures
- Hazards
- Other
- Radioactivity Release Each EAL Initiating Condition is structured in the following way:
- Recognition Category- as described above
- Emergency Class- Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency and General Emergency
- Initiating Condition- Symptom- or Event- Based, Identification and Title
- Operating Mode applicability- Power Operation, Hot Standby, Hot Shutdown, Cold Shutdown, Refueling, Defueled or All.
NMPNS 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 (EAL) has been exceeded.
The 15 minute criterion does not prevent implementation of response actions to protect the public health and safety provided that any delay in declaration does not deny the State and Local authorities the opportunity to implement emergency response actions.
The 15 minute criterion commences when plant instrumentation, plant alarms, computer displays or incoming verbal reports that correspond to an EAL first March 2018 NM 3-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
---__________J
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear become available to any plant operator and encompasses all assessment, classification, verification and declaration actions.
As used here, "plant operator means any member of the plant staff who, by virtue of training and experience, is qualified to assess the indications or reports for validity and to compare the same to the EALs. A "plant operator" does not encompass plant personnel such as chemists, radiation protection technicians, craft personnel, security personnel, and others whose positions require they report, rather than assess, abnormal conditions to the control room.
In the case where EALs are related to an analysis, e.g. dose assessment or sampling, the 15 minute declaration period starts with the availability of analysis results, to any plant operator, that show the conditions of the EAL to be exceeded.
Procedure EP-CE-111, Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations, provides specific implementation guidance on this classification system. Figure 3.1 provides action and participation by response organizations for the various emergency classifications. EP-AA-1013, Addendums 3 and 4 provide the basis by which each of the emergency action levels was determined.
3.1.1 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.
No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Although the emergency situation can be corrected and/or controlled, notification of NMPNS Management may be performed. In addition, appropriate offsite agencies are notified of the nature and extent of the incident, even though no action may be required of them.
3.1.2 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act.
Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
3.1.3 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 security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not March 2018 NM 3-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
3.1.4 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 security events that result 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.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.0 Emergency Measures Emergency Measures are actions taken to ensure that an emergency situation is assessed and that proper corrective and/or protective actions are taken. These actions include activation of the appropriate components of the emergency organizations, both on-site and off-site; assessment of plant systems status and radiological conditions; mitigative actions to mitigate or terminate an emergency situation; protective actions to minimize the consequences of the emergency to Station personnel and to the general public in the Station environs; decontamination and medical treatment for Station personnel; and other supporting actions such as timely and accurate emergency news releases to the public media.
This section describes the emergency measures which may be performed and applicable criteria, guidelines and methodology for performing those measures.
4.1 Initiation of Emergency Actions Emergency actions are initiated primarily in response to alarmed instrumentation, but may be initiated through notification to the Control Rooms by individual(s) at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station who become aware of an apparent emergency situation or by persons outside of the plant in the case of severe weather warnings or hostile actions. The affected unit Control Room Operator (CRO) performs the necessary immediate actions to contend with the off-normal situation in accordance with instrument alarm response procedures (which are contained in the Operating Procedures), Special Operating Procedures, Emergency Operating Procedures and/or other appropriate procedures. The CRO promptly notifies the affected unit SM of the potential emergency situation.
This SM assesses the situation and, if necessary, declares the emergency.
As delineated in Section 4.1 of this Emergency* Plan, NMPNS maintains the capability to assess, classify and declare an emergency within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) has been exceeded.
The affected unit SM assumes the role of NMPNS Shift Emergency Director until relieved by the Station Emergency Director (TSC) and the Corporate Emergency Director (EOF). The Station Emergency Director will relieve the Shift Emergency Director and assume authority and responsibility for performing the non-delegable duties of classification and emergency exposure controls, the Corporate Emergency Director (EOF) will relieve the Shift Emergency Director of overall Command and Control and assume the non-delegable responsibilities for PAR determination and notifications to offsite authorities. In the event of an emergency declaration due to an initiating condition affecting both Unit 1 and Unit 2, both Units' SMs will confer and determine:
- The Unit with the higher emergency classification will become the Shift Emergency Director.
March 2018 NM 4-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- If emergency classification levels are equal, the SM first notified will become the Shift Emergency Director.
- If there is any question as to who should initiate the Station Annex, the Unit 1 SM shall assume the Shift Emergency Director duties.
The Shift Emergency Director continues to assess and classify the condition and initiates the appropriate corrective and protective actions and ensures activation of the necessary segments of the total emergency organization.
The Operating Procedures contain appropriate action statements which refer the operator to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures when specified plant parameter values are exceeded or equipment status warrants such response.
Severe Accident Procedure (SAP) entry conditions are defined in the station Emergency Operating Procedures. The Shift Emergency Director, in consultation with the Station Emergency Director, determines when SAP entry is required.
4.2 Activation of Emergency Organization This section describes the provisions for notifying and/or activating groups and organizations within the emergency organization in response to potential or actual emergency events at the station. Procedures for notifying, alerting and mobilizing emergency response organizations, including message authentication, are contained in procedure EP-CE-114-100, Emergency Notifications (CNG).
Figure 4.1 summarizes the notification/activation of both the onsite and the offsite emergency organization and designates potential action requirements for each emergency classification. A diagram identifying the major emergency facilities and their interfaces during various stages is shown in Figures 4.2 and 4.3.
4.2.1 Offsite Notification and Follow-up Messages The contents of initial emergency notification messages which would be sent from the affected unit to New York State and Oswego County are contained in the emergency notification procedure. Notification Fact Sheets were developed in conjunction with New York State and Oswego County, and serve as the means of initial emergency notification. The contents of the Notification Fact Sheets are consistent with the guidance outlined in Section 11.E of NUREG-0654. As a minimum, the following information is provided:
o Facility name, communicator name and call back telephone number o Date/time of incident o Class of emergency o Brief description of event o Radioactive material release information March 2018 NM4-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear o Protective action recommendations o Event prognosis o Meteorological information Follow-up notifications are made at regular intervals as detailed in the emergency notification procedure and contain information consistent with the guidance detailed in Section 11.E of NUREG-0654. As a minimum the follow-up information contains the above information and the following:
0 Actual or projected dose rates and projected integrated dose rates at site boundary 0
Projected dose rates and integrated dose at projected peak and at 2, 5 and 10 miles 0
Surface contamination estimates A mutual agreement has been reached between New York State Licensees and New York State excluding event prognosis information from initial notification messages.
4.2.2 Offsite Emergency Organization
- a. Offsite Authorities The Corporate Emergency Director ensures that offsite authorities are notified and apprised of potential or actual emergency events at the NMPNS. Notifications are made to the Oswego County and New York State Warning Points using methods described in the emergency notification procedure. Notification to these authorities of an Unusual Event, an Alert, a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency commences within 15 minutes following the declaration of an emergency classification. A representative from NMPNS may be sent to the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and to the Oswego County Emergency Operations Center (OCEOC) for a Site Area or General Emergency when the SEOC and the OCEOC, respectively, is fully activated. These representatives aid and assist the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commissioner and the Chairman of the Oswego County Legislature, or their representatives, in defining the extent of the emergency and mitigating measures being taken.
Backup radiological emergency assistance may be provided by the U.S.
Department of Energy in Brookhaven, N.Y. Notifications for assistance may be made by the NMPNS Corporate Emergency Director, by the Oswego County Emergency Management Director or by the New York State Commissioner of Health.
4.2.3 On-Site Notification and Organization March 2018 NM 4-3 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- a. Notification of NMPNS personnel takes place through the following methods:
- 1) PA System (GAltronics). This system is capable of sending voice messages and signals indicating a fire, station alarm, or evacuation alarm to all areas within the protected area. It is used to alert personnel onsite of emergency conditions.
- 2) Telephone. The telephone can be used to contact any needed personnel during emergency conditions.
EP-CE-114-100 contains the implementing procedures for making appropriate notifications.
- b. Upon being informed of a potential or actual emergency condition, the affected unit SM immediately assesses the condition. The SM ensures that appropriate actions have been initiated to maintain the safe and proper operation of the plant. This SM then classifies the condition as an Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. If the event is classified as an emergency (as defined in EP-CE-111) that requires implementation of this Plan, the SM assumes the role of Shift Emergency Director and takes the following actions:
- 1) Implement immediate actions. in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
- 2) Ensure that on-site emergency response individuals and groups are notified (and off-site groups, if conditions require), using the PA system and/or direct communications.
- 3) Notify on-site individuals to implement a Local Area/Building, Protected Area or Exclusion Area Evacuation, if appropriate, which may include accountability. These no~ifications are made by sounding the appropriate alarm followed by an announcement of supplementary information over the PA system. Notification is also made to the JAFNPP Control Room (who then activates their notification system).
- 4) May notify the Plant Manager or their designated alternate to apprise them of the situation. Because of the probable short duration and/or low severity of the condition, the Shift Emergency Director responsibilities are likely to remain with the SM through termination of Unusual Event classifications.
- 5) Ensure that off-duty station personnel are notified to provide assistance with emergency activities as necessary. This notification process is described in the emergency notification procedure. Off-duty personnel are called in as required.
- 6) Notify appropriate TSC, OSC and EOF personnel if the condition is classified as an Alert or higher.
4.3 Assessment Actions March 2018 NM 4-4 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Provisions are made for assessment and continuing re-assessment throughout the course of an emergency to ensure the effective coordination, direction and upgrading of emergency activities in a timely manner. The assessment actions are described in detail in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
4.3.1 Unusual Event The purpose of the Unusual Event classification is to provide early warning of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences. The Unusual Event conditions represent potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Declaring an Unusual Event assures that the first step for any response later found to be needed, has been carried out by bringing onsite staff and offsite organizations to a state of readiness, thus providing a system for handling information and decision making.
The NRC, State, and Oswego County authorities will be promptly notified to assure that the first step of any necessary response can quickly be initiated.
Offsite organizations will standby for further information or termination. On-shift resources can be augmented to assess and respond as needed.
4.3.2 Alert Events of the Alert classification involve actual or potential 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any radioactivity released would result in exposures of only a small fraction of the guidelines for required offsite action. By assuring that emergency personnel are available, protective actions, such as performing confirmatory radiation monitoring and providing offsite authorities with current status information, will be ensured.
For events which fall into the Alert classification, the Emergency Response Organization will promptly notify the NRC, State and County authorities of the Alert Classification and the reasons for the classification. The TSC and EOF will be staffed to assist in the assessment of the incident and determination of proper responses. Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the classification of the event.
Non-essential personnel will normally be evacuated from the protected area (provided it is safe) to designated locations outside of the protected area at this level. All ERO personnel will assemble at their designated emergency facilities, and accountability may also be initiated. This ensures that:
- Appropriate staff is available to mitigate the event,
- The potential to over-expose non-essential personnel is minimized, March 2018 NM 4-5 EP-AA-1 O13 (Revision 5)
i Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- Non-essential personnel are prepared for possible exclusion area evacuation by pre-staging these personnel outside of the protected area.
The JIG will be staffed in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency. Offsite agencies may activate their *resources and facilities and may alert other emergency personnel, such as monitoring teams, communication centers, the Emergency Alert System (EAS), and law enforcement. They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classification, if appropriate.
4.3.3 Site Area Emergency A Site Area Emergency (SAE) is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except near the site boundary.
In the event that a SAE is declared, the actions to be taken by various plant groups are detailed in the implementing procedures for the plant. The Emergency Response Organization will make the initial notification to the County authorities, State, and NRG.
The purpose of declaring a SAE is to assure that non-essential personnel are protected in the event of a release of radioactive materials. Should a release be anticipated or in progress, non-essential personnel will normally be directed to evacuate to the either the Offsite Assembly Area (provided it is safe) for monitoring and if necessary decontamination, or home if there was no release of contamination from the station. If no release is anticipated or in progress, non-essential personnel will normally remain at designated locations within the exclusion area, to permit more rapid return of personnel to normal duties.
Accountability of personnel remaining within the protected area, as a minimum will commence at this level, and continues until event termination or de-escalation. Also, offsite agency authorities will be available at primary response*
centers for consultation and updates on the situation, and to provide information to the public.
For events which fall into the SAE classification, the County, State, and NRG will be promptly notified of the SAE classification, and the reasons for the SAE classification. The TSC and EOF will be staffed to assist in the assessment of the incident and determination of proper responses. Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the classification of the event.
The JIG will be staffed in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency.
March 2018 NM 4-6 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Offsite agencies may activate their resources and facilities and may alert other emergency personnel, such as monitoring teams, communication centers, EAS, and law enforcement. They will be ready to escalate to a more severe classification, if appropriate.
March 2018 NM 4-7 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.3.4 General Emergency A General Emergency (GE) is declared when events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core damage or melting with potential loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases of radioactive material can be expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
In the event that a GE is declared, the actions to be taken by the various plant groups are detailed in the implementing procedures for the plant. The Emergency Response Organization will make the initial notification to the County authorities, State, and NRC. Initial notification of a GE shall contain initial Protective Action Recommendations. The purposes for declaring the GE are:
- To initiate protective actions for the public and site personnel as predetermined by projected, or by actual releases.
- To provide continuous assessment of information from the affected unit.
- To provide for consultation with offsite authorities.
- To keep the public informed through the JIC.
- To evacuate non-essential personnel from the exclusion area (provided it is safe) to either the Offsite Assembly Area (OAA) for monitoring and if necessary decontamination, or home if there has been no release of contamination from the station.
The TSC and EOF will be staffed to assist in the assessment of the incident and proper determination of responses. Periodic plant status updates will be given to offsite authorities who will also be advised of any change in the classification of the incident. The JIC will be staffed in order to coordinate public information activities warranted by the emergency. Offsite agencies will activate all needed resources and facilities.
4.4 Assessment Capabilities 4.4.1 Field Radiological Assessment Field radiological data is collected by onsite and offsite survey teams. The teams may be deployed for any emergency classification involving projected or actual releases of radioactive materials. The survey teams use emergency/company vehicles (or personal vehicles, if needed) for transportation and maintain contact with the EOF or TSC.
Downwind Survey equipment is maintained for emergency use by onsite and offsite survey teams. This equipment includes portable instrumentation for performing direct radiation surveys, performing contamination surveys and collecting and analyzing airborne samples for gross and iodine radioactivity.
March 2018 NM 4-8 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Rapid assessment of any radiological hazards resulting from the gaseous effluents are made in the field using the environmental samples taken. Radiation Protection Procedures will be used to implement the required radiological surveys/samples and analyze of the results of these surveys/samples taken from within the NMPNS. Procedure EP-AA-112-500-F-55, NMP Offsite Monitoring Team Guidance, will be used to analyze the offsite survey and sample results to provide an initial estimate of the offsite radiological consequences.
Rapid field assessment of liquid samples is not considered essential because the nearest drinking water supply is far enough away to provide ample time for warning the appropriate State and local authorities in the event protective measures are required. When field liquid samples are required, they will be taken and transported back to the appropriate facility for assessment.
4.4.2 Field Airborne Radioiodine Assessment Monitoring for radioiodine is accomplished by the use of portable sampling pumps equipped with a particulate -filter and silver zeolite cartridges. The particulate filter and silver zeolite cartridges can be field counted in a low background area for immediate determination of total radioiodine concentration.
Cartridges and filters can be further analyzed using gamma spectrometry in either the NMPNS counting laboratory, the environmental laboratory or the adjacent JAFNPP counting laboratory. The lower limit of detection for radioiodine is less than 1.0E-7 µCi/cc under all weather conditions.
4.4.3 Field Contamination Assessment A second type of radiological data which the onsite and offsite survey teams collect is surface contamination levels for the radionuclides listed in NUREG-0654, Table 3 (Radionuclides with Significant Contribution to Dominant Exposure Modes). The data obtained from these sample measurements assist in protective action decisions affecting the general public during the emergency and post-emergency recovery/re-entry phase. This data can be used to determine 10CFR 140 applicability.
Surface contamination may be estimated using procedure EP-AA-112-500-F-55 during the emergency and actual values are determined by sampling snow, grass, soil, leafy vegetation, surface water as deemed appropriate during emergency recovery activities. EP-AA-112-500-F-55 describes in detail the emergency radiological environmental sampling program.

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.5 Dose Assessment Methods and Techniques The NMPNS has established a method for relating various measured environmental media activity levels to dose rates for key isotopes and gross radioactivity measurements. NMPNS has formulated provisions for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates (refer to dose assessment procedures). The results of these calculations can then be tabulated and compared with applicable protective action guides.
The information most important in determining offsite consequences is source term, dose assessment, environmental measurements and dose projections.
The following paragraphs describe these dose assessment terms and techniques.
4.5.1 Source Term Determination
- a. Projected Source Term Determination The release rate and/or source term from NMPNS during a nuclear emergency can be projected as described in dose assessment procedures, and are listed as follows:
- 1) Containment High Range Monitors (CHRM) (relate CHRM to a radioactivity concentration in the drywell, then assume a flowrate from the drywell to the atmosphere).
- 2) Grab samples.
- 3) Back calculation from downwind gamma dose rate measurements.
- 4) UFSAR/USAR postulated accident release rates.
- b. Actual Source Term Determination The method for determining actual release rate for source term determination from NMPNS during a nuclear emergency are described in dose assessment procedures, and are listed as follows:
- 1) Effluent monitors
- 2) Stack teletector (Unit 1 only)
- 3) Grab samples 4.5.2 Offsite Radiological Dose Assessment Process Dose assessment or projection represents the calculation of an accumulated dose at some time in the future if current or projected conditions continue. During an accident, the Plant Parameter Display System and personal computers will provide the ERO with the timely information required to make decisions.
Radiological and meteorological instrumentation readings are used to project dose rates at predetermined distances from the station, and to determine the integrated dose received. Dose assessment methods used by Exelon' personnel to project offsite doses include:
March 2018 NM 4-10 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear
- a. Monitored Release Points - This method utilizes the plant's effluent radiation monitors and system flow rates. Effluent release points are used to directly calculate a release rate. The point of the release determines the way the
- source term is affected and is adjusted by the dose assessment process.
- b. Containment Leakage/Failure - This method uses a variety of containment failures or leak rates in conjunction with available source term estimations to develop a release rate to the environment. A direct vent of containment can be modeled as a failure to isolate.
- c. Release Point Samples - This method uses a sample at the release point and an estimated flow rate to develop a release rate at the point of release.
- d. Field Monitoring Team Data - This method uses a field survey or sample and the atmospheric model to back calculate
- a release rate and ratio concentrations of radioactive material at various points up and downwind of plume centerline.
The computer applications used to provide dose calculations are evaluated against the EPA-400 plume exposure Protective Action Guides (PAGs) applicable for the early phase of an accident. These evaluations place an emphasis on determining the necessity for offsite protective action recommendations. Dose assessment actions will be performed in the following sequence:
- a. First, onset of a release to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> post-accident:
- 1) Shift personnel will rely on a simplified computerized dose model to assist them in developing offsite dose projections using real time data from effluent monitors and site meteorology.
- b. Second, 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> post-accident to event termination:
- 1) Estimates of off-site doses based on more sophisticated techniques are provided. Dedicated ERO personnel will analyze the offsite consequences of a release using more complex computerized dose modeling. These additional methods are able to analyze more offsite conditions than the simplified quick method, as well account for more specific source term considerations 4.5.3 Onsite Dose Assessment and Protective Actions Health Physics procedures provides procedures for assessing the radiological conditions onsite, and protective actions needed in response to those actual or projected conditions. EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions provides for control of emergency exposures.
4.5.4 Environmental Measurements The second method available to assess dose is based on measured activity in environmental media. Dose can also be determined on the basis of plant and March 2018 NM 4-11 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear environmental measurements collected per EP-AA-112-500-F-55 and the post-accident sampling procedures.
Environmental samples collected by the downwind survey teams and environmental survey teams are returned for laboratory analysis. Environmental media such as milk, human food products and water are analyzed in a laboratory environment to determine the concentrations of key isotopes which would then be converted (either by hand calculation or computer using appropriate formulas) to dose.
4.5.5 Dose Projection
- a. Preliminary estimates of total population exposure are made using the method in dose assessment procedures and the offsite monitoring team guidance document. These preliminary estimates are based on projected or actual field measurements made during the course of the emergency.
During the recovery phase of the emergency, these estimates are refined based upon actual emergency and environmental Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLO) results, information obtained from the Oswego County Emergency Management Office on evacuated and sheltered population, and evacuation time estimates for various Emergency Response Planning Areas (ERPA's).
4.6 Mitigative Actions Detailed Emergency Operating Procedures, Special Operating Procedures, and Severe Accident Procedures as appropriate are used by the station operating personnel to assist them in recognizing potential or actual emergency events and responding to emergency and severe accident conditions. These procedures describe the mitigative actions necessary to place the plant in a safe condition.
Additionally, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, as listed in this Station Annex, Appendix 3, describe subsequent and/or supplemental mitigative actions for the scope of potential situations within each of the emergency classifications.
These Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are designed to guide the actions of personnel to correct or mitigate a condition as early and as near to the source of the problem as feasible.
- 4. 7 Protective Actions Protective actions are measures which are implemented to prevent or mitigate consequences to individuals during or after a radiological incident. Protective actions within the NMPNS site boundary are the responsibility of the NMPNS Emergency Director, but may include assistance by off-site organizations.
Protective actions outside the NMPNS site boundary are primarily the responsibility of State and local emergency organizations, but may include March 2018 NM 4-12 EP-M-1013 (Revision 5)

Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear coordination of activities, dissemination of appropriate data and recommendations by the NMPNS Emergency Director.
4.7.1 Onsite Protective Actions Onsite protective actions are directed by the Shift Emergency Director until relieved by the Station Emergency Director and are reviewed to consider the possible impact on the activities of offsite response personnel.
The primary protective measure for onsite personnel in an emergency is prompt evacuation from areas which may be affected by significant radiation, contamination or airborne radioactivity. For personnel who must stay onsite as part of the on-site emergency response team other protective measures may be used as discussed in the following sections.
In addition, a range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action events has been developed. This range of protective actions ensures the continued ability to safely shut down the reactors and perform emergency response functions. The response functions include:
- Evacuation of personnel from target buildings
- Site evacuation by opening gates, while continuing to defend them
- Dispersal of Licensed Operators
- Sheltering personnel away from potential site targets
- Accounting for personnel after the attack The following are the primary onsite protective actions:
- a. Local Area/Building Evacuation A local area/building evacuation is confined to local areas or buildings within the protected area. This evacuation requires all personnel within the designated area or building to rapidly exit the area/building and remain clear of the area/building until further notice. The decision to implement a local area/building evacuation is the responsibility of the Shift Emergency Director or Station Emergency Director. This decision is based largely on evaluation and judgment of the magnitude and severity of the situation on a case by case basis. Factors to be considered may include:
- the safety of personnel within the area/building
- smoke/heat or other hazards
- actual or estimated levels of radiation and/or airborne radioactivity involved, as well as the potential exposure to personnel that would result from both evacuating and not evacuating specific station areas/buildings.
The warning of personnel in the station can be accomplished in less than 15 minutes. (This includes visitors, contractor and construction personnel).
March 2018 NM 4-13 EP-AA-1 O13 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Notification is made by sounding the evacuation alarm, followed by an announcement over the plant PA system. (Refer to EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions)
- b. Protected Area Evacuation A Protected Area Evacuation is confined to areas within the protected area. This evacuation requires that ERO members assemble at their designated ERF, and non-essential personnel leave the protected area and assemble at designated locations outside of the protected area. (refer to EP-CE-113).
The decision to implement a protected area evacuation is the responsibility of the Shift Emergency Director or Station Emergency Director (as appropriate). A protected area evacuation is automatically implemented at an Alert or Site Area Emergency provided it is safe to perform. The warning of personnel in the protected area can be accomplished in less than 15 minutes. (This includes visitors, contractor and construction personnel)
Notification of a protected area evacuation is made by sounding the evacuation alarm, followed by an announcement over the plant PA system.
- c. Owner Controlled Area (OCA) Evacuation EP-CE-113 describes the evacuation of non-essential personnel from the NMPNS protected area via the Security Buildings to the Offsite Assembly Area. It also includes, as appropriate, the evacuation of individuals from the NMPNS OCA, including the Nuclear Learning Center, Energy Center, Sewage Treatment Facility and all other NMPNS site locations to their homes or Offsite Assembly Area The Off-site Assembly Area is normally the Oswego County Airport, Hanger K, in Volney (Fulton). The Emergency Director may specify alternate routes or alternate locations, if appropriate. Personnel will use privately owned vehicles to evacuate. Security personnel help ensure that personnel proceed to the Offsite Assembly Area. JAFNPP is advised of the NMPNS OCA evacuation and the projected dose rates which could affect their personnel. The decision to implement an OCA evacuation is the responsibility of the Shift Emergency Director or Station Emergency Director. The decision is based on the declaration of a Site Area Emergency in which a radioactive release is anticipated or in progress, the declaration of a General Emergency, or upon declaration of a site evacuation by JAFNPP.
Notification of an OCA evacuation is made by sounding the evacuation alarm, followed by an announcement over the station PA system.
March 2018 NM 4-14 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear Other persons who may be in public access areas, passing through the site, or within a NMPNS controlled location, will be notified by methods outlined in EP-CE-113. The warning of personnel in the OCA can be accomplished in less than 15 minutes. (This includes visitors, contractors and construction personnel)
- d. Personnel Accountability To ensure that station personnel present in affected areas have been accounted for and to determine the whereabouts of personnel who have not been accounted for within the protected area, measures have been established to provide for personnel accountability. Accountability for personnel remaining within the protected area following an accountability order is performed in accordance with EP-CE-113.
Initial accountability results in the generation of a list of missing persons within 30 minutes of an announcement to evacuate non-essential personnel or an announcement to perform accountability and/or identifying any individuals not accounted for.
NOTE: The personnel accountability process is considered initiated when the announcement has been completed.
The accountability system works as follows: Personnel enter the protected area through security access points. Upon entering the area personnel . position their security identification proximity card (Owner Controlled Area Card) near the entrance Proximity Card Readers. Their access is tracked by the security department computer. In the event of an emergency, personnel within the protected area report to onsite assembly areas, or exit the protected area activating a Proximity Card Reader at the accountability area or at the protected area exit. After a number of personnel have completed this process (about 20 minutes after the announcement), a report is produced. The information on the report yields the names of individuals who are present in the protected area, but who have not activated a Proximity Card Reader (activations are subtracted from the overall database). The personnel accountability process continues throughout the event. Search and rescue efforts begin at the completion of the initial accountability process, and are performed in accordance with EP-AA-113, Personnel Protective Actions.
- e. Contamination Control The NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures contain provisions governing the control of contamination including access control, use of protective clothing, contamination monitoring, and the release of potentially contaminated items from Restricted Areas.
The requirements and guidelines of these procedures apply to contamination control during emergency conditions.
March 2018 NM 4-15 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex _________________ ......,.
Exelon ..............,............;
Nuclear ......____,
Specific onsite contamination control measures for food supplies is not necessary since no agricultural products for consumption are grown within the NMPNS exclusion area. Also, no drinking water supplies originate onsite. Drinking water is obtained from City of Oswego water supplies or bottled water suppliers.
- f. Exposure Control The radiation exposure of station personnel during emergency operations is maintained As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), and should be maintained less than the administrative guides established in the NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures and/or less than the Federal radiation exposure standards established in 10CFR20. In order to accomplish this objective, administrative means used during normal operations to minimize personnel exposure, such as Radiation Work Permits, Authorization to Exceed Radiation Exposure Guides, and ALARA measures should remain in force to the extent consistent with timely implementation of emergency measures.
If necessary actions require personnel exposures to exceed normal limits, or if normal access control and radiological work practices results in unacceptable delays, the established exposure control criteria and methods may be waived or modified at the discretion of the Shift Emergency Director or Station Emergency Director (as appropriate). In the event of a declared emergency, the emergency dose limits outlined in EPA-400 have been proceduralized in EP-CE-113, Personnel Protective Actions, and may be used. EP-CE-113 also provides procedures for expeditious decision making, a reasonable consideration of relative risks, and the capacity for just-in-time authorization or emergency exposures.
Emergency dose limits are as follows:
TEDE Limit (rem) Activity 5 All activities during the emergency 1O Protecting valuable property 25 Lifesaving or protection of large populations
>25 Lifesaving or protection of large populations, only if individuals receiving exposure is a volunteer, and fully aware of risks involved.
Dosimetry equipment is provided at the station as part of the normal Radiation Protection Program, and such dosimetry continues to be used during emergency situations. Dosimetry consists of OSLDs (or March 2018 NM 4-16 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear equivalent) and Self-Reading Dosimeters (SRO) (or equivalent, e.g.
electronic dosimeters), also known as Pocket Direct-Reading Dosimeters.
A limited number of such dosimetry are also available in emergency supplies. Personnel are available 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day during an emergency to issue and/or process dosimetry devices.
The NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures contain provisions for administration of the Facility Bioassay Program. EP-CE-113 provides guidance for accelerated or additional bioassays in the event there are individuals who are suspected of being exposed to elevated levels of airborne activity as a result of the emergency. Radiation Protection Procedures provide for issuing, using, and reading/processing dosimetry devices and provisions for exposure record keeping. During an emergency, the processing frequency is based upon the exposure rates and/or the exposure received by emergency personnel.
- g. Respiratory Protection The NMPNS Radiation Protection Procedures contain prov1s1ons governing the use of respiratory protection equipment and administration of the NMPNS Respiratory Protection Program. Site specific ERO Respirator qualification requirements contained in the ERO Training and Qualification procedure take precedence over requirements contained in the Exelon Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan for Nine Mile Point Station.
Exceptions to normal respiratory protection practices may be instituted by the Shift Emergency Director or Station Emergency Director (as appropriate), with the advice of the RP Manager.
- h. Potassium Iodide (Kl)
Potassium iodide (Kl) is available for use by NMPNS employees in the event of an emergency. Indications and when Kl should be used are contained with EP-CE-113.
4.7.2 Offsite Protective Actions
- a. Protective Actions Within Oswego County The responsibility for actions to protect offsite individuals rests with the County of Oswego, New York State Office of Emergency Management and New York State Department of Health as described in the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan.
The NYS Department of Health is responsible for evaluating information obtained from the NMPNS and/or other sources and recommending appropriate offsite protective actions to the OEM/OCEMO.
The principal offsite local coordinating agency for providing response to radiological emergencies in the vicinity of the NMPNS is the OCEMO.
March 2018 NM 4-17 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear The entire 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone is contained within Oswego County.
A detailed study has been conducted of the status and capacities of roads, traffic patterns and demography within the 10-mile radius Emergency Planning Zone. This study includes the estimated times to evacuate all or specific segments of the population, identifies potential problem areas and provides contingencies for dealing with adverse conditions. The time estimates for various scenarios were performed: 1) Nighttime, normal weather; 2) Nighttime, adverse weather; 3) School in session, normal weather; 4) School in session, adverse weather. This study, "Evacuation Travel Estimates (ETE) for the James A. Fitzpatrick/Nine Mile Point Emergency Planning Zone" is contained in EP-AA-1013, Addendum 2 and was used in the development of detailed evacuation plans by the OCEMO.
The ETE meets the criteria established in NUREG-0654.
- b. Oswego County Prompt Notification System The physical and administrative means for alerting and warning the population of an incident at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station is described in detail in EP-CE-111 and the Oswego County Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
The responsibility for activation of the Prompt Notification System (PNS) rests with the Chairman of the Oswego County Legislature or designee.
The Oswego County Emergency Management Office administratively activates the warning system and supplies appropriate emergency messages to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) station serving the jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of their emergency response plans. Siren activation equipment is located at the OCEMO and the Oswego County 911 Center.
The PNS consists of:
- Outdoor sirens.
- Reverse calling system (as back-up to the above).
- Emergency Alert System.
This system meets NUREG-0654 and FEMA-REP-10 design and testing criteria. System design and testing requirements are detailed in the approved FEMA Design Report.
- c. Protective Action Guides and Recommendation of Protective Action Recommendations Protective Action Guides (PAG's) identify protective actions to be taken prior to or following a significant release of radioactive material. They are based on NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev 1, Supplement 3, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans March 2018 NM 4-18 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants" and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) documented in "EPFAQ 2013-004 Final Response". PAGs for the "plume phase" have been established by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
The numerical guides for TEDE and CDErhyroid (child) dose to the general public are listed below. The procedure used by NMPNS personnel in determining the appropriate protective action recommendation (PAR) is detailed in EP-CE-111. PARs are reviewed prior to issuance to assess their potential impact on offsite response organization activities.
Protective Action Guidelines Early or Plume Phase TEDE (rem) CDEr (rem)
Evacuate >1 >5 The following principles guide the formulation of PARs for the NMPNS:
- Evacuation is the preferred method of protecting the public in the event of a significant radiological release. EPA 400 Protective Action Guidelines are used.
- NMPNS does consider sheltering due to Controlled Containment Venting with release durations of < 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and dose assessments do not exceed the EPA PAGs.
- If determined to be appropriate by New York State or Oswego County Officials, thyroid prophylaxis may be provided to the general public.
NMPNS recommendations include implementation of the Kl Plan in order to be consistent with offsite plans.
4.8 Aid to Affected Personnel Procedures are established which provide for control of radiation exposure, including emergency exposure, personnel contamination, assistance to injured persons, and situations involving complications due to the presence of radiation or radioactive contamination.
March 2018 NM 4-19 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.8.1 Decontamination Personnel contamination in emergency situations is controlled to the extent feasible by the normal methods of using protective clothing and surveying for contamination following the removal of such clothing. Designated personnel decontamination areas consisting of showers and sinks which drain to the radwaste system, are available for either routine or emergency use at the NMPNS. Similar facilities are available at the JAFNPP. Station radiation protection personnel are instructed in the proper methods of removing minor contamination from skin surfaces. Efforts involving significant amounts of contamination, particularly in the vicinity of facial openings, will normally be performed under the direction of Radiation Protection personnel. Detailed methods for personnel decontamination are described in Radiation Protection Procedures. Decontamination limits are detailed in station Radiation Protection Procedures.
4.8.2 First Aid Individuals are onsite who can administer first-aid. First aid to injured personnel is normally performed in conjunction with any necessary decontamination methods. However, if immediate treatment of the injury is vital, that treatment shall take precedence over decontamination. This philosophy also extends to offsite emergency assistance involving radioactive contamination. For that purpose, measures are established to ensure timely offsite medical treatment and limiting the spread of contamination, as described in Station Annex Sections 4.8.3 and 4.8.4.
4.8.3 Medical Transportation .
Arrangements have been made with the Oswego County 911 Center to transport from the NMPNS to a medical treatment facility any injured personnel, including radioactively contaminated personnel and those involved in radiation exposure incidents, or a Hostile Action Based event.
Copies of the agreements from facilities/organizations which provide emergency services are contained in Station Annex Appendix 2. Ambulance emergency supplies are available for use and are stored at designated points of access to the NMPNS.
4.8.4 Medical Treatment Arrangements have been made with the Oswego Hospital (Oswego, N.Y.) for the medical treatment of patients from the NMPNS who may have a radiation exposure injury or injuries complicated by radioactive contamination, or been involved in a Hostile Action Based event. The Oswego Hospital has developed a detailed procedure for handling radioactively contaminated patients or those involved in radiation exposure incidents at the NMPNS. Similar arrangements have been made with the State University of New York University Hospital at Syracuse (Syracuse, N.Y.) for medical treatment of contaminated injuries and significant overexposures to radiation or been involved in a Hostile Action Based March 2018 NM 4-20 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear event. University Hospital has developed detailed procedures for handling radioactively contaminated or those patients involved in radiation exposure incidents at the NMPNS.
Medical treatment facilities and on-site personnel may also contact a radiation management expert who is contracted to provide radiological treatment advice upon request. Radiation Protection Procedures describe actions necessary for decontamination of emergency worker wounds, and waste disposal. The Emergency Equipment Inventory procedure lists decontamination equipment available at Oswego Hospital. This service is available 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day year-round as specified in the Letter of Agreement in Appendix 2.
4.9 Emergency Public Information and Rumor Control A telephone inquiry response program and a rumor control program has been established by NMPNS. NMPNS in conjunction with state and county governments cooperate on responses to inquiries which may occur as a result of an emergency situation at the NMPNS.

6.1.2 Exercises and Drills Exercises are realistic, pre-planned simulations of accidents, designed and conducted so that the response of the emergency organization closely approximates their response to an actual incident. Drills are pre-planned simulations in which the participants are "walked" or "talked" through one or more procedures, or aspects of the Station Annex. The primary purpose of drills is to provide individuals with hands-on training in a controlled situation. During practical drills on-the-spot correction of erroneous performance may be made and a demonstration of the proper performance offered by the instructor/controller. Drills are evaluated by drill controllers and observers. The response of Division personnel to an actual emergency condition may be allowed to satisfy a particular drill requirement, provided that a critique is performed and documented in the manner specified for a drill. In addition, selected training sessions can satisfy drill requirements as allowed by procedure.
Biennial exercises and annual drills are conducted in order to test the state of emergency preparedness of participating individuals, organizations, and agencies. An exercise or drill may be conducted that simulates an emergency that results in offsite radiological releases requiring response by offsite authorities to: 1) ensure that the participants are familiar with their respective duties and responsibilities; 2) verify the adequacy of both the NMPNS Emergency Plan and the methods used in the appropriate Implementing Procedures; 3) test communications networks and systems; 4) check the availability of emergency supplies and equipment; 5) verify the operability of emergency equipment; and 6) verify adequate interrelationships with offsite agency plans. Exercise scenarios provide the ERO with the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in the key skills necessary to implement the principal functional areas of emergency response. Principal functional areas include:
Management and coordination of the emergency response, Accident assessment, Event Classification, Notification of Offsite authorities, Assessment of the Onsite/offsite impact of radiological releases, Protective Action Recommendation development, Protective Action decision making, Plant system repair and mitigative action implementation, Public Notification. /Information processes. Biennial Exercise scenarios are submitted to the NRG for review and approval. Biennial Exercises are evaluated and graded by the NRG and FEMA to determine that there is "reasonable assurance" that adequate protective measures will be taken in the event of an emergency. The NRG may require a remedial exercise if they cannot find reasonable assurance or determine that the March 2018 NM 6-4 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear ERO has maintained the key skills specific to emergency response. All Drills and exercises that provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain or demonstrate key skills, provide for a formal critique with controllers and players following the completion of the drill. The critiques are to identify weak or deficient areas that need correction. During the critique, comments are gathered which are used to improve the emergency preparedness program, and a final assessment of the drill or exercise is made. Weaknesses or deficiencies identified in critiques are corrected and tracked through the Corrective Action Program.
The Site Emergency Preparedness Manager . is responsible
- for planning, scheduling, and coordinating emergency planning related exercises and drills.
The Fire Marshal, in conjunction with the Manager Operations and the Manager Training, is responsible for planning, scheduling, and coordinating Fire Brigade related drills. Drills are subject to management review. The Site Emergency Preparedness Manager is responsible for reviewing pre-exercise information to ensure only appropriate information is provided to the participants. In addition, participants are not permitted to review or otherwise view exercise scenarios.
Exercises and drills are conducted to simulate actual emergency conditions as closely as possible and may be scheduled such that more than one drill or exercise can be conducted simultaneously. Scenarios are prepared that emphasize coordination among onsite and offsite organizations as appropriate and may involve participation by the Nine Mile Point Fire Brigade; monitoring teams; varying degrees of participation of county, state, and Federal agencies and organizations and local offsite support personnel and organizations.
Scenarios are varied and include a wide spectrum of radiological releases and events. These events include hostile actions, no or minimal radiological release, initial or rapid Site Area or General Emergency declarations, Severe Accident Management and Large Area Loss (10CFR50.54(hh)(2)), integration of offsite resource and events that simultaneously involve both NMP and JAF.

- Section 7: Recovery Actions taken during an emergency situation fall into two general categories; response and recovery. Response actions are those taken to manage the consequences of an emergency and to bring the emergency under control. Recovery actions are those longer-term actions taken to restore the station, as nearly as possible, to its pre-emergency condition.
This section describes recovery actions and establishes typical criteria for declaring that an emergency has entered the recovery phase.
7.1 Progression From Emergency Response to Recovery The two general action categories, response and recovery, are directed by separate organizations: the On-Site Emergency Organization is responsible for initial response while the Recovery Organization is responsible for long term response and recovery.
7.1.1 Re-entry Phase The Re-entry Phase is the period following evacuation during which access to the station is restricted. This period can commence with the start of the emergency, or can develop as the emergency progresses, and may last into the recovery phase. Re-entry may be made to perform essential tasks such as saving human life, controlling release of radioactive materials, and preventing additional damage to plant and equipment.
Additional actions to be taken during the Re-entry Phase are controlled by implementing procedures and will be directed by the Emergency Director or the Recovery Manager (RM). Planning for re-entry will include evaluation of available survey data, review of exposures incurred, projection of manpower and equipment needs, and re-entry survey team activation. Upon re-entry, a comprehensive survey of the plant will be made to define radiological problem areas. Data gathered during the re-entry operation and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed and used in developing subsequent recovery plans.
The planned radiation exposure limits for re-entry should be consistent with 10 CFR 20. If the need arises for exposures in excess of the limits of 10 CFR 20, the ED may institute the higher limits identified in Section 4.0 of the NMPNS Station Annex.
7.1.2 Termination of Emergency Phase The Station Emergency Director will periodically evaluate and assess the status I of the emergency, the effectiveness of emergency actions, and the need to update the emergency class. The Station Emergency Director, in consultation *1 with the Corporate Emergency Director and offsite authorities, will determine when the emergency phase has ended. Notification of the appropriate authorities (e.g., county, state, and federal agencies, etc.) and the Emergency Response Organization will then take place. Criteria for declaring an emergency situation resolved is dependent on the emergency classification declared but may March 2018 NM 7-1 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear include: Radiation levels in all in-plant areas are stable or are decreasing with time.
- Reactor and associated systems are in a safe, stable condition, a reactor cool-down is in progress and it has been determined that the plant has the ability to achieve and maintain a cold shutdown condition.
- Releases of radioactive materials to the environment are under control or have ceased.
- Any fire, flooding or similar emergency conditions are under control or have ceased.
- Drywell pressure is at normal levels.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure EP-CE-115, Termination and Recovery provides the specific guidance on termination of the emergency phase and commencement of the recovery phase.
7.1.3 Recovery Phase During the initial stage of the Recovery Phase, data gathered from re-entry operations and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed. A plan of action for returning the plant to a condition within Technical Specifications limits will be developed using the guidance provided in EP-CE-115.
7.2 Recovery Operations Recovery operations necessary to restore the plant to an operational condition will be conducted within the framework of the Recovery Organization. From the EOF, the CED or Recovery Manager (RM) and EOF staff will direct entry into recovery operations.
Specific recovery tasks and the sequence in which they are performed will be at the direction of the Recovery Manager. The Recovery Manager will be responsible for deactivating the Recovery Organization. Activities for which the Recovery Organization is responsible during the recovery phase include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
- a. Logistical
- b. Corrective Actions C. Engineering
- d. Radiological
- e. Administrative Procedures detailing performance of the above tasks will be developed if required, during the recovery phase.
March 2018 NM 7-2 EP-AA-1013 (Revision 5)
Nine Mile Point Annex Exelon Nuclear During recovery operations, the radiation exposure limits of 10 CFR 20 apply.
Compliance with those limits will be the responsibility of the Recovery Manager via the applicable Health Physics organization.
Recovery actions that plan for or may result in radioactive releases will be evaluated by the Recovery Manager and EOF staff as far in advance of the action as possible. These actions and data pertaining to the release will* be reported to the appropriate off-site emergency response organizations and agencies.
7.3 Emergency Organization Transformations The emergency response organization may go through a series of transformations depending upon the time of initiation, type, severity and duration of the emergency condition.
A long-term recovery organization that is general in nature has been defined.
The transition to the Recovery Organization will be communicated to concerned parties by the Recovery Manager, via the ERF managers/coordinators.
7.4 Recovery Organization The Recovery Organization is comprised of two major groups: Functional and Support. (See Figure 7-1)
The Functional Group is essentially comprised of the normal station organization and would be responsible for the development and implementation of plans and procedures necessary for the long-term emergency response and recovery operations. The Functional Group is directed and coordinated by the RM through the Plant Manager, the Engineering Director, the Maintenance Director and the Director, Work Control and Outage Management. The Functional Group utilizes personnel performing duties they normally perform, such as; Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Chemistry, Radiation Protection and Outage Management.
The Support Group is comprised essentially of those positions established in the augmentation of the initial on shift emergency response at the Emergency Operations Facility with the addition of the following managers/directors providing support functions as required/needed from the following organizations: Human Resources, Training, Business Planning, JIC Director, Nuclear Oversight, Security and Emergency Preparedness (Corporate), Procurement and Warehouse Services (Corporate), IT and Telecommunications Services (Corporate). The Support Group would assist the Functional Group in areas such as plant modification, design, construction, recovery engineering, quality assurance/control, and administrative support functions such as purchasing, transportation, treasury, materials management, communications, legal, claims, and risk management, etc.
