SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Request of Holder," Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review and approval of a revision to the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). The proposed revision includes:
- 1) Reducing the number of required Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions;
- 2) Standardizing activation times for the Technical Support Center (TSC) to 75 minutes;
- 3) Replacing the current full-time normal work hours licensed medical practitioner position with First Aid Responders, and
- 4) Removing reference to performing dose assessment using containment pressure indication.
WCNOC has reviewed the proposed changes against the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," and has concluded that the standards and requirements will continue to be met.
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION Currently, the WCGS RERP, Attachment D, "WCGS Minimum Staffing for Emergencies",
specifies the augmentation response times for certain ERO positions ranging from 60 to 90 minutes. This submittal does not change augmentation response times. WCNOC proposes to revise RERP Attachment D to reduce minimum staffing affecting the following Major Functional Areas as established by NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Table B-1, "Minimum Staffing Requirements or NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies":
- Notification/Communication
- Radiological Accident Assessment & Support of Operational Accident Assessment
- Plant System Engineering, Repair & Mitigative Actions
- Protective Actions (In-plant)
The specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond to emergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47 (b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times ... " 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.1 requires licensee emergency plans to contain, in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation of the emergency organization, including individuals assigned to the licensee's ERO with a description of emergency assignments.
WCNOC completed a functional analysis of the augmented ERO positions based on the proposed minimum staffing changes and completion of the major tasks required by NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, (Reference 1). The analysis determined that minimum staffing changes can be made, while maintaining the site's ability to protect public health and safety. A new analysis of on-shift responsibilities in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 evaluating the impacts associated with the proposed changes was performed and verified that ERO positions were not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 3 of 27 NUREG-0654 (Reference 1), Section 11.8, "Onsite Emergency Organization," presents guidance for meeting these requirements. The guidance describes the on-site emergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table 8-1, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear power Plant Emergencies." This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four Major Functional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response functions where the duties may be performed by shift personnel who are assigned other functions (i.e., there are no dedicated responders to perform these functions). Table 8-1 specifies two Major Functional Areas (i.e., firefighting and site access control/personnel accountability) which must be staffed on a site-specific basis.
The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting ERO personnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments. The augmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, and administrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focus more fully on plant operations.
On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Register amending certain emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations that govern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 2). This final rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization," to address the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that could potentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergency plan functions. Specifically,Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform " ... a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."
Coincidentally with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRC issued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance - Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants" (Reference 3). The Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides information relevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis. The ISG states that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," (Reference 5) to establish a standard methodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing analysis, and that the NRC reviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose. The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part of the emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).
Significant increases in the number of on-shift positions have occurred over the past several years. Currently a total of 17 positions are identified for on-shift staffing, which is an increase from the regulatory guidance provided by the NUREG-0654, Revision 1, total of 10 persons and the Wolf Creek Generating Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Kansas Gas &
Electric Company, Revision 15, dated January, 1985, where the NRC approved an on-shift staffing level of 10 positions. The last Wolf Creek Generating Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Kansas Gas & Electric Company reviewed and approved by the NRC was Revision 15, dated January 1985 (Reference 7) approved by NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated June, 1985.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 4 of 27 The ERO in Revision 15 of the Wolf Creek Generating Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Kansas Gas & Electric Company consisted of 26 positions which were augmented by 38 home office personnel positions to support site response to an emergency.
Then the ERO consisted of approximately 64 positions. Today, the ERO consists of approximately 256 responders. This represents a greater than 100% increase in the number of individuals qualified to meet existing emergency plan requirements. Reducing the number of ERO positions will increase the number of eligible plant personnel available to fill critical ERO positions and add valuable expertise to the responding team.
WCNOC is also proposing to standardize the TSC activation time to 75 minutes. Currently, WCGS RERP, Section 6.6.1 states:
"TSC activation will be performed as soon as practical and within the times as stated in the following:
- 1. During off-normal working hours, it is the goal to activate the TSC within 75 minutes of declaration of an Alert or higher classification.
- 2. During normal working hours, it is the goal to activate the TSC within 30 minutes of a declaration of an Alert or higher classification."
Augmentation time for key augmented ERO positions remains unchanged at 60 minutes per RERP, Attachment D, "WCGS Minimum Staffing for Emergencies". It should be noted, at WCNOC the Operations Support Center (OSC) and TSC are co-located. Unless specifically stated, TSC refers to the TSC and OSC.
The third proposed change to the RERP is to remove the current full-time normal work hours licensed medical practitioner position currently credited in addition to the on shift First Aid Responders. RERP Section 6.4.6.1, currently refers to a full-time Licensed Practitioner, while RERP Section 6.4.6.3, states, "Shift personnel, trained in first aid, are available on-site 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day". The deletion of references to a licensed practitioner, who is only available during regular business hours, with retention of reference to the 24-hour on-site first aid responders is consistent with the planning standards and evaluation criteria of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Section 11.0.3.
The fourth proposed change would remove reference to performing dose assessment using changes in containment pressure indication. The current RERP Section 6.3.7.3 reference to the dose assessment software model estimating release rates and off-site exposures for an unmonitored, pressure-driven containment release using the containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure is being removed. This software capability erroneously attributes all changes in containment pressure solely to leakage, and fails to account for the more likely and significant sources of pressure decrease (such as steam cloud condensation and/or temperature reduction due to actuation of coolers or the initiation of containment spray). Historically, use of this capability of the software has produced large overestimations of offsite doses during exercise scenarios containing an unmonitored release, leading to unwarranted recommendations of protective actions to the public.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
Functional Analysis This analysis evaluates the impact of reducing the required number of ERO positions on the ability of the on-shift and augmented ERO positions to perform the major tasks for the major functional areas of the WCNOC RERP. The analysis demonstrates that no degradation or loss of function would occur as a result of the change. This approach makes use of the guidance provided by RIS 2016-10, License Amendment Requests for Changes to Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation," (Reference 11). Even though the proposed changes to the WCNOC RERP seeks no alteration to augmenting ERO arrival times, this approach was considered suitable since the RIS does "highlight some specific items that NRC staff consider when reviewing shift staffing change requests for augmented ERO positions as provided in NUREG-0654, Table B-1."
The following discusses the rationale based on this functional analysis for concluding that on-shift personnel can satisfactorily implement all EP functions as described in RERP Attachment D, "WCGS Minimum Staffing for Emergencies". Enclosures I and II provide the revised RERP Attachment D with the proposed minimum staffing changes. Attachment IV provides a summary of historical shift staffing and augmentation response time requirements, and proposed minimum staffing changes.
Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Plant Operations & Assessment of Operational Aspects NUREG-0654 Major Task: NIA The proposed change increases the number of on-shift Nuclear Station Operators from 5 to 7.
These positions are being added to replace the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) and Chemistry personnel currently used on the Fire Brigade. The additional Operations personnel will also be available to assist with event mitigation when not performing Fire Brigade duties, In accordance with the current WCNOC RERP, the on-shift staffing is in excess of the requirements of NUREG-0654, Revision 1, Table 8-1, as well as that prescribed in the last NRG-approved emergency plan, Revision 15, from January, 1985. (The proposed change also retitles HP to RP to align with station references to this work group.)
The 2012 On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSSA), completed in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, provided a total on-shift staffing of 17 personnel. This represented an increase of 7 persons when compared to the regulatory guidance stated in NUREG-0654, Revision 1, Table 8-1, and an increase of 7 persons when compared to the last NRG-approved WCNOC emergency plan, Revision 15, January, 1985. The August 2017 updated OSSA reduced the existing on-shift complement to a total of 16 personnel. This reduction combined the Emergency Notification System (ENS) and Offsite Communicator positions (rationale for this change is fully discussed in the Notification/Communication section below). This change maintains an increase of 6 persons when compared to the regulatory guidance provided by NUREG-0654, Revision 1, Table 8-1, and an increase of 6 persons compared to the last NRC-approved emergency plan, Revision 15, dated January, 1985. The additional on-shift staff helps to ensure prompt response to a wide spectrum of emergency events.
Therefore, the proposed reduction in minimum staffing will not detract from the capability of on-shift personnel to support plant operations or the assessment of operational aspects at the start of an event and until the on-shift staff is augmented.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 6 of 27 Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Emergency Direction and Control NUREG-0654 Major Task: NIA RERP Attachment D designates the Shift Manager as the on-shift responder for this Major Functional Area. The Off-Site Emergency Manager is designated in the Attachment as an augmented responder for the Major Functional Area of Radiological Accident Assessment &
Support of Operational Accident Assessment. No changes are made to RERP Attachment D for the Emergency Director in this Major Functional Area.
Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Notification/Communication NUREG-0654 Major Task: Notify licensee, state, local, and federal personnel and maintain communication RERP Attachment D currently requires 2 on-shift personnel and 3 augmented responders within 60 minutes to perform notifications and communications. The proposed revision would change the 2 on-shift communicators to 1 on-shift communicator. The 3 augmented responders within 60 minutes would remain unchanged. The proposed change results in combination of the Emergency Notification System (ENS) and the Off-site Communicator positions into a single dedicated on-shift Communicator position.
Notification/communication responsibilities require notification of off-site authorities responsible for directing protective actions on behalf of the general public. The State of Kansas and Coffey County are required to be notified within 15 minutes of the declaration of any emergency classification or change in protective action recommendation. The NRG is notified immediately following the state and local notifications and in all cases within 60 minutes of the emergency declaration. For evaluation purposes, NRG notifications were treated as a continuous action in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(c)(3), meaning that once the initial NRG communications are established, it is assumed that the NRG will request an open line to be continuously maintained with the NRG operations center.
As a result of the 2012 OSSA, Revision 13 of the RERP previously added dedicated communicators (ENS and Off-site) to the on-shift complement. Subsequent drills and exercises have shown that there is not a need for separate responders to successfully complete all the tasks assigned to both responders, and that these tasks could be accomplished by a single responder. Accordingly, the August 2017 updated OSSA, combined these positions to further validate that that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions were not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan.
The ability of a combined ENS and Off-site Communicator position to complete assigned tasks is due to technological improvements in communications equipment. The availability of dedicated telephone circuits and the use of a wireless headset enables NRC notifications to be performed by the same on-shift communicator who performs the state and county notifications.
Using a headset as needed, a single dedicated communicator can maintain an open line with the NRC while making state and county notifications on another line. This capability has been successfully demonstrated in four emergency drills conducted at WCGS to test this function.
Notification of licensee personnel is initiated through an automated call-out process which is initiated by the Communicator. The proposed change does not impact the call-out process or the notifications of licensee personnel.
The assignment of a dedicated on-shift communicator who will use improved communication equipment, and the demonstration of this capability in emergency drills, ensures that the capability to perform the major tasks in this functional area will be maintained.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 7 of 27 Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Radiological Accident Assessment & Support of Operational Accident Assessment NUREG-0654 Major Task: EOF Director, Offsite Dose Assessment, Offsite Surveys, Onsite (Out-of-Plant) and In-Plant Surveys, Chemistry/Radiochemistry EOF Director The current RERP requires the EOF Manager and staff to respond within 90 minutes.
No changes are proposed for the response time for the EOF Manager and staff.
Offsite Dose Assessment, Offsite Surveys, Onsite (Out-of-Plant) and In-Plant Surveys, Chemistry/Radiochemistry The current RERP requires 3 RP personnel and 2 Chemistry personnel be on-shift. These numbers were increased, from 2 RP personnel and 1 Chemistry personnel, based on the 2012 staffing analysis, completed in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, which included RP and Chemistry as part of the Fire Brigade. The additional personnel were added for Fire Brigade purposes only. Since performance of the initial analysis, the composition of the Fire Brigade has been changed to exclude RP and Chemistry personnel. The proposed change to the RERP includes reducing these positions to the previous numbers - 2 RP and 1 Chemistry on-shift.
The on-shift Chemistry technician is tasked with performing off-site dose assessment. Review of procedures determined that the on-shift Chemistry technician is not required to perform any chemistry/radiochemistry sampling within the first 90 minutes in accordance with Technical Specification requirements. Therefore, the on-shift Chemistry technician can readily perform off-site dose assessment calculations without any collateral duties. All Chemistry technicians assigned on-shift are trained to perform these calculations with a computerized Control Room dose assessment program using effluent radiation monitor readings and meteorological indications, both available in the Control Room. Backup methodologies for inputs are provided should these indications fail or otherwise not be available. The on-shift Chemistry technician is dedicated to perform off-site dose assessment tasks until dose assessment transfers directly to the EOF per the current RERP.
Chemistry/Radiochemistry No chemistry samples are required by Technical Specifications within the 90-minute period after an emergency declaration. RERP Attachment D currently requires 1 augmenting Chemistry technician reporting to the TSC/OSC in 60 minutes to perform chemistry/radiochemistry tasks.
This augmentation is not changing.
Offsite Surveys, Onsite (Out-of-Plant) and In-Plant Surveys RERP Attachment D currently requires 1 augmenting responder with Senior Health Physics expertise, and 8 augmenting RP personnel reporting to the TSC/OSC within 60 minutes to assist with off-site surveys, on-site and in-plant surveys. The proposed change would reduce the number of augmenting RP personnel to 6. Improvements in technology and communication methods enable the reduction in augmenting RP personnel.
Attachment I to WO 1a.:.0016 Page 8 of 27 The on-shift RP technicians and the RP technician augmented responders are qualified to perform assigned tasks, which include off-site surveys, on-site (out-of-plant) surveys, and in-plant surveys. These RP tasks are directed by the Shift Manager to support actions in off-normal procedures, emergency operating procedures and emergency planning procedures (EPPs). The RP technicians report to the Control Room to provide RP support (including in-plant and out of plant surveys) as directed by the Shift Manager. The use of in-plant radiological monitoring instrumentation to determine the radiological conditions in on-site and in-plant areas supports the on-shift personnel in performing these functions until augmenting staff arrives.
Installed in-plant radiological monitoring instrumentation provides a means by which radiological conditions can be determined during an emergency, thereby reducing the need to send RP personnel into the plant to obtain radiological data. The radiological monitoring system ensures that both RP and ERO members are kept informed of current and changing radiological conditions. In-plant radiological instrumentation provides a continuous radiological status of the rooms monitored and provides local and remote alarming capability. Avoiding the dispatch of RP personnel to survey areas unnecessarily by use of the in-plant area radiation monitors (ARMs) satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1101 (b) because occupational radiation exposure is kept as low as reasonably achievable.
The radiation monitoring system consists of a wide variety of monitoring covering key areas of the plant. These monitors are integrated into the plant computer system (NPIS) and readings are available in the Control Room, RP office, Chemistry laboratory, TSC, OSC, and EOF. The system provides the Emergency Director, RP and Chemistry personnel with the ability to rapidly assess overall plant conditions throughout the site.
- The Radiation Monitoring System consists of individual radiation monitoring channels monitored in the Control Room. The system fulfills the following functions:
- Warn operating personnel of radiological health hazards.
- Provide early warning of plant conditions which may lead to a radiological health hazard.
- Prevent or minimize the effects of inadvertent release of radioactivity to the environment by consequence-limiting automatic responses.
- Provide routine monitoring of controlled off-site releases.
- Provide dose rate information of critical areas during an accident.
- Provide indications for aiding accident assessment.
Radiation monitoring channels provide an output to NPIS. The output signals are processed by NPIS to provide Operations and RP with additional information on the status of plant radiation levels The individual radiation monitoring channels are either process radiation monitors or area radiation monitors. The area radiation monitors provide information useful in assessing radiation exposure to personnel in areas that may have radiation and/or occupancy potential during both normal and abnormal plant conditions. The area monitors are equipped with an indicator and an alarm in the vicinity of the detector.
The process radiation monitors provide information about radioactive concentration in various systems; leakage across boundaries of closed systems; and radioactive concentrations in liquid and gaseous effluents. The process monitors consist of a remote detector and a rack mounted module which provides indication, control functions and alarms. Process radiation detectors are either "in-line", located in the process piping, or "off-line" where part of the process flow is diverted to a separate detector chamber.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 9 of 27 Area radiation monitors are located in areas where personnel perform routine duties, areas where personnel perform infrequent duties yet have a significant probability for hazardous dose rates, areas where there is a small probability for hazardous dose rates yet continuous surveillance is necessary and critical areas of the plant that may require entry during an accident condition. A local alarm buzzer warns personnel in the area and a common annunciator alerts Control Room personnel.
Air particulate monitors are provided to monitor beta activity which may be carried by particulate matter in the air. These monitors can be used to sample either the containment atmosphere or the unit ventilation stack. Air particulate monitors typically contain a detector, a filter, a pumping system, and a check source. The detector is a scintillation type beta sensitive optically coupled to a photomultiplier tube.
Gas is most easily detected by detecting beta particles using G-M tubes. The gas monitor detectors are designed to measure beta-gamma activity.
The liquid monitors are designed to measure the gamma activity in a liquid process line. Each liquid monitor line uses a Nal scintillation detector and is equipped with a check source to allow detector testing. Both in-line and off-line configurations are used at WCGS.
Integration of the radiation monitoring systems with NPIS has increased the availability of normal and accident condition radiological information which results in enhanced work processes. The improved availability has reduced the need for continuous in plant RP technician support during an emergency condition.
Off-site surveys are not normally initiated during the very early stages of an event because preplanned plant condition-based Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) are designed to provide initial information to offsite officials sufficient to allow them to make timely and well-informed protective action decisions. As additional augmentation personnel become available, these personnel can be used to obtain offsite survey results which are then used to adjust the PAR as necessary. In addition, expected release pathways are monitored release points, allowing the dedicated on-shift dose assessor to factor the impact of actual meteorological conditions on off-site projected doses. Prior to 60-minute augmentation, in-plant radiation monitoring instrumentation would be used to detect a radiological release because radiological release instrument data is easily obtained. In the unlikely event that a survey is needed to
.detect or validate a potential unmonitored release pathway, the 2 on-shift RP technicians provide the capability to perform onsite (out-of-plant) surveys for this purpose.
Off-site radiological monitoring tasks, such as soil, water and vegetation sampling, or retrieval of environmental dosimetry can be performed as additional personnel arrive up to the 60-minute augmentation time. These radiological survey tasks are considered in the recovery phase, following a release of radioactive material, and are not needed for the immediate protection of the public health and safety.
The reduction in RP responders is supported by the use of in-plant instrumentation, installed monitoring capability and in-plant and on-site surveys to support off-site dose assessment. The use of the Chemistry technician as a dedicated on-shift dose assessor facilitates the monitoring and use of installed instrumentation for this purpose. In addition, radiological monitoring of installed plant instrumentation is sufficient to perform off-site dose assessment activities until augmented personnel arrive. The enhanced use of in-plant radiation monitoring instrumentation, information technology, and communications supports a reduction of RP 60-minute augmented responders from 8 to 6.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 10 of 27 Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Plant System Engineering, Repair & Mitigative Actions NUREG-0654 Major Task: Technical Support, Repair and Corrective Action RERP, Attachment D identifies on-shift personnel fulfilling the functions of technical support, radwaste operator and electrical maintenance. No change is being made to these assignments.
RERP, Attachment D currently requires 3 augmenting engineers within 60 minutes reporting to the TSC/OSC for technical support. No change is being made to these augmenting requirements.
The Shift Technical Advisor (STA) is the on-shift position assigned for technical support. The STA functions in an oversight role for accident assessment and evaluation of operating conditions, and providing the core/thermal hydraulic technical support function on shift. The STA performs assigned technical support activities as required by operating procedures, Technical Specifications, and emergency implementing procedures. A review of procedural actions for this position demonstrated that failed fuel determinations, as well as establishing recovery/reentry priorities, would not be required until augmenting staff arrives. Initial reactor core stabilization activities are performed by the Operations crew under the direction of an SRO.
Evaluation of the on-shift activities in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.IV.A.9 showed that on-shift operations personnel were able to complete required tasks without conflicts. No change is being made to this major task.
RERP Attachment D currently requires 5 augmenting Maintenance technicians reporting to the TSC/OSC within 60 minutes. This includes 2 Mechanical Maintenance, 2 Electrical Maintenance and 1 l&C technician. The proposed change reduces the augmenting Maintenance technicians to 3; eliminating 1 mechanical and 1 electrical maintenance responders.
During initial stages of an event, the scope of repair and corrective actions performed by on-shift personnel are typically limited to actions that promptly restore a non-functional component or system to functional status (e.g., resetting a relay or logic manipulation) or to place a component or system in a desired configuration such as opening a valve or closing a breaker. The WCGS on-shift nuclear station operators have the training and expertise to perform this level of minor maintenance actions as directed by the Control Room Supervisor and are available to satisfy any minor troubleshooting and repair activities that might be needed until augmenting staff arrives. The addition of 2 nuclear station operators for Fire Brigade coverage expands the capabilities of the on-shift complement to provide this function. The augmented maintenance responders (1 electrical, 1 mechanical, 1 l&C) provide additional resources for repair and corrective actions. Due to the time needed to stabilize the plant and assess the event, the initial phase of accidents is not expected to involve a significant need for dedicated and specialized maintenance personnel beyond these augmented responders. A detailed review of emergency and maintenance procedures indicated that more significant repair activities would not be initiated for several hours after the event occurred, allowing time to contact specialized resources as needed. The proposed change does not impact implementation of repair and corrective actions completed by on-shift and augmented resources.
The Plant System Engineering, Repair & Mitigative Actions functions are not adversely impacted by the proposed changes. Core thermal hydraulics and repair and corrective action major tasks will continue to be performed by on-shift and augmented personnel.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 11 of 27 Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Protective Actions (In-Plant)
NUREG-0654 Major Task: Radiation Protection - Access Control; RP coverage for repairs
& corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid and firefighting; personnel monitoring; dosimetry The current RERP Attachment D identifies 1 on-shift RP individual assigned other functions.
This is the second RP Technician listed on-shift in the Radiological Accident Assessment &
Support of Operational Accident Assessment function.
The current RERP Attachment D lists 4 augmenting RP personnel reporting to the TSC/OSC within 60 minutes. The proposed change reduces the number of RP augmenting responders to
- 2. Together with the RP personnel responding in the Radiological Accident Assessment &
Support of Operational Accident Assessment functional area, the proposed change reduces the total number of augmenting RP personnel at 60 minutes from 12 to 8.
The on-shift RP technicians and the RP technician augmented responders are all fully qualified to perform assigned tasks; which include access control duties, RP coverage for workers, personnel monitoring, and dosimetry.
Originally, radiological access control was a labor intensive task. Dedicated RP technicians were required to check dose margins, training qualifications, and ensure workers had read and understood the radiation protection work permit (RWP). Worker access control is now automated because radiation protection work processes have been computerized. RWP access control and electronic dosimeter computer systems work together to provide a fully integrated system allowing workers to sign-in on RWPs and to self-issue electronic dosimeters.
Both systems have been used by plant workers for several years. Worker dose margins and training qualifications are also automatically verified when the RWP access control system is used. If a worker's dose margin is inadequate or training is expired, the worker's access will be precluded and the access control system would not allow issuance of an electronic dosimeter.
The performance of access control and dosimetry activities is primarily completed through the use of electronic dosimetry (ED) which is obtained prior to entry into radiologically controlled areas (RCAs). The ED is also used as a 'key' to unlock turnstiles to gain access to the RCA.
RWPs determine the necessary preset warnings/alarms associated with the use of the ED.
Specific pre-established emergency RWPs have been developed for use during a declared emergency, which automatically provide the ED with emergency dose rate and dose rate alarms. This assumes that the teams dispatched to the in-plant areas to perform any function during a declared emergency will be afforded ample warning/alarm prior to exceeding their allowed dose or dose rate. Use of the EDs and RWP process eliminates the need for continuous access/dosimetry oversight by RP technicians for the initial event response.
Through the use of improved access control technology, reduction of the RP augmented responders does not adversely impact performance of the Access Control/Dosimetry major tasks.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 12 of 27 Performance of RP coverage for response action activities will continue to be performed initially by the on-shift RP technician. RP coverage will only be performed if the radiological status of a room/area is unknown and there is a definitive need for emergency workers to enter the room/area to perform a task. The decision to provide RP coverage may be based on plant radiological conditions as indicated by installed area radiation monitors (ARMs). During the initial stages of an accident, not all areas of the plant would be affected by releases of radioactive materials. Therefore, continuous RP coverage would not be required for all areas.
If RP coverage is deemed necessary, multiple emergency teams can be covered by a single RP technician. If RP coverage is not provided (for entry into area with low radiological risk or known radiological status), worker protection is ensured because emergency workers are required to wear electronic dosimeters (which alarm at preset dose and dose rate setpoints) and because of the installed ARMs (which alarm locally and remotely at preset dose rates) located throughout the plant. Additionally, use of a remote monitoring (telemetry) system allows the RP technician to monitor multiple work groups simultaneously from remote points reducing the time and effort required for job coverage while maintaining adequate protection for radiation workers. The functions associated with this major task will not be adversely impacted by the proposed change.
Personnel are required to self-monitor for radioactive contamination whenever they exit the RCA. No RP involvement is necessary for this contamination monitoring activity because the workers are trained to perform this task without supervision or oversight. A portal monitor (PM-
- 12) is used at the exit of the RCA before the worker is processed through the whole body contamination monitor. The PM-12 is a microprocessor based radiation detection system which provides quick indication of contamination on personnel. The monitor has 8 independent scintillation detectors and an internally mounted battery back-up that can maintain unit operation for up to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. The alarm setpoints for the PM-12 are based on site RP procedure requirements.
The whole body contamination monitor used at the exit of the RCA is a Two-Step Exit (TSE) monitor. The monitor is a highly sensitive RP tool which can be used to locate contamination on a body and quantify the contamination activity. The TSE uses beta and gamma scintillation technology for detection of contamination. Measurement is accomplished in a two-step - front then back - sequence. Alarm set points are established in accordance with site RP procedures.
Equipment and process improvements, combined with the establishment of Emergency RWPs and emergency dose limits provide significant enhancements to efficient access control and reduce the need for direct RP technician support.
The proposed changes maintain the existing on-shift RP technicians for the RP coverage task, while reducing the augmenting RP staff for these tasks from 4 to 2. WCGS has implemented improvements in technology in the areas of dosimetry and access control which reduced the need for RP technician actions in each of these areas during early stages of event response.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 13 of 27 Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Fire Fighting = Fire Brigade NUREG-0654 Major Task: NIA Per NUREG-0654, Revision 1, the Firefighting functional area is addressed by use of a Fire Brigade and managed in accordance with the site Technical Specifications. WCNOC Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) Section TR5.2.1.b describes the Fire Brigade composition.
The proposed change removes on-shift RP and Chemistry technicians from the Fire Brigade and replaces them with Operations personnel. This change was discussed in the Radiological Accident Assessment & Support of Operational Accident Assessment section.
In Revision 15, of the Wolf Creek Generating Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Kansas Gas & Electric Company, Firefighting response was provided by on-site personnel assigned other functions and augmented by the off-site local fire department. The current WCNOC RERP maintains the Firefighting functions commitment through the use of on-shift Fire Brigade members in accordance with the Fire Protection Program. The proposed changes do not impact this function. The current and proposed on-shift fire protection staffing was evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.A.9 and found to be sufficient.
Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Rescue Operations and First Aid NUREG-0654 Major Task: NIA NUREG-0654, Revision 1, Table 8-1 notes that this function may be provided by on-shift personnel assigned other functions.
RERP, Attachment D includes 2 on-shift personnel assigned other tasks as fulfilling this function. Wolf Creek Generating Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Kansas Gas
& Electric Company Revision 15, provided for first aid treatment for injured personnel by qualified on-shift personnel. The current RERP maintains this commitment through the use of on-shift First Aid Responders. The current RERP Section 6.4.6.1 refers to a full-time Licensed Practitioner also being available on site during business hours. The proposed change eliminates this additional position which is not included in RERP Attachment D. The proposed changes to the RERP do not impact the Rescue Operations and First Aid function as indicated in RERP Attachment D.
Functional Area: RERP Attachment D, Site Access Control and Accountability NUREG-0654 Major Task: Security, firefighting communications, personnel accountability NUREG-0654, Revision 1, Table 8-1 requires this functional area be addressed by Security personnel in accordance with the site Security Plan. No changes are being made to this functional area.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 14 of 27 ERO Staffing.Reductions In addition to the changes discussed in the previous section, WCNOC is proposing to reduce the number of these additional ERO positions through elimination and/or consolidation of job functions. The following changes are proposed:
Reduce Operations Recorders from 2 to 1 Eliminate the Dose Assessment Technician Reduce EOF Team Communicators from 2 to 1 Reduce Survey Team Technicians from 4 to 3 Reduce EOF Administrative Assistants from 4 to 3 Eliminate the EOF Facility Technician Reduce Engineering Team from 5 to 3 Reduce TSC Team Communicators from 2 to 1 Reduce TSC Operations Recorders from 2 to 1 Reduce TSC Administrative Assistants from 4 to 2 Reduce Maintenance Planners from 3 to 1 Eliminate Warehouse Support Eliminate the On-Site Public Information Coordinator (TSC)
Eliminate Media Liaison
- Reduce Technical Support from 2 to 1 Reduce Media Center Registrars from 2 to 1 Reduce Phone Team Members from 4 to 3 Reduce Media Monitoring Team from 4 to 3 Prior to an emergency declaration, the normal plant operating organization is in place. The initial classification of an off-normal event occurs in the Control Room and classification and declaration is performed by the Shift Manager. Upon the classification and declaration of an emergency, the Shift Manager assumes the role of Emergency Manager and retains that role until a designated Emergency Manager can assume control. The on-site emergency organization is activated by personnel notification or when the station alarm is sounded and the emergency is announced over the public address system. Initially, the ERO consists of the normal operating shift personnel who function as the emergency team members. The normal operating staff is augmented, as needed, by plant personnel. Those personnel on-site respond when the station alarm is sounded and the announcement is made or when individuals are notified by another means. Personnel not on-site during off-hours operations will be notified via an automated ERO notification system. The dedicated on-shift Communicator performs notifications. The details of notifying all emergency operations personnel during normal and off-hours are contained in Emergency Plan Procedures (EPPs).
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 15 of 27 WCNOC maintains ERO teams, with one complete team being on duty at any given time.
When the Shift Manager directs activation of the ERO call out system, all ERO members are notified to ensure adequate coverage of all ERO positions at all emergency response facilities (ERFs). ERO members not on call are expected to respond unless they are unavailable or unfit for duty.
WCNOC requires ERO personnel to act promptly in reporting to their assigned ERF even when not on duty. During duty periods, procedures further require that team members respond within the required response time for their ERF (unless a longer time frame is specified for their specific ERO position) and that they remain fit for duty throughout the duty assignment.
Individuals are trained to respond to their ERF even if they are not on duty. Excess personnel that respond may be assigned support responsibilities or be designated as a relief shift. This conservative policy ensures timely activation because some off-duty personnel may respond sooner than the on-duty personnel.
The proposed revisions to the WCNOC RERP will not change the requirements described above. Management's continued expectation is that all duty and support ERO members report to their respective ERF as quickly as possible.
WCNOC has designated ERO members who staff positions required to meet minimum staffing to activate the TSC/OSC, EOF, and JIC. EPPs identify ERO positions assigned to each facility and the minimum staffing required before each facility can be declared operational. All ERO personnel are expected to respond when notified by the ERO notification system.
In addition to the reductions described in the previous Functional Area discussion, the following section provides a discussion of the proposed additional ERO staffing changes in the EOF, TSC, and JIC.
EOF personnel changes:
The proposed ERO staffing changes eliminate 1 ERO position in the EOF described in WCNOC EPPs as a position required for facility activation, the EOF Facility Technician. The role of the facility technician, according to EPP 06-003, Emergency Operations Facility Operation, is to establish and monitor facility habitability. This position was created when the WCNOC EOF was located at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Training Center, within the plume exposure pathway of the plant. At that location it was important for facility habitability to be determined prior to facility activation due to the near-site location of the EOF.
In 2014, WCNOC built a new EOF approximately 12 miles from the plant site, and outside the plume exposure pathway. The new EOF is a dedicated facility which also houses the alternative TSC/OSC. Facility habitability is not the immediate concern that it was for the old near-site EOF location; therefore, the EOF facility technician is no longer necessary for facility activation. Augmenting RP personnel can perform any tasks the facility technician was assigned as the event progresses and additional personnel become available.
Other changes in the EOF staff include reductions in the number of personnel assigned to a position. With technological changes and procedural streamlining, it is not necessary to have multiple personnel in redundant positions; such as the Operations Recorders, Team Communicators, and Administrative Assistants.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 16 of 27 The reduction in the Survey Team Technicians from 4 to 3 is possible due to coordination with the State of Kansas. Centralized coordination of the off-site radiological assessment effort with all organizations interested in, and/or performing assessments is necessary to ensure that the data and its interpretation are reviewed by WCNOC and off-site response organizations with monitoring and assessment responsibilities. The number and type of organizations performing this effort vary with time and following emergency declarations and off-site notification. Initially, plant emergency response personnel are the only organization performing this function and they are directed from, and their results evaluated, at the EOF. State authorities join the EOF monitoring and assessment activities, forming joint radiological monitoring teams. Commitment RCMS 1985-407 (Reference 10) requires WCNOC to field 3 teams, plus 1 from the State. This reduction in the survey team technicians from 4 to 3 still maintains the capability to meet that commitment.
The Dose Assessment organization at the EOF consists of the Radiological Coordinator, the Dose Assessment Coordinator, and the Dose Assessment Technician. The dose assessment technician performs dose assessment and reports results to the dose assessment coordinator who then reports to the radiological coordinator. The proposed elimination of the dose assessment technician, by having the dose assessment coordinator perform the dose assessment, facilitates rapid dissemination of information to the radiological coordinator. The dose assessment coordinator position is trained to perform dose assessment, so no new task is being added to this position.
To ensure that the elimination of the EOF Dose Assessment Technician, EOF Facility Technician and one EOF Team Communicator will not hinder the ability of the EOF radiological team to maintain effective coordination with off-site response organization (ORO) officials, a new Assistant Radiological Coordinator position is being created in the EOF. This new position will assist the dose assessment coordinator and team communicator as necessary to ensure the radiological coordinator remains in an oversight and coordination role. This new position will also perform liaison duties with ORO responders in the EOF.
TSC personnel changes:
In the TSC, the proposed change eliminates one position, Warehouse Support. Procedural changes no longer require a dedicated person for warehouse support. The maintenance coordinator and planner ensure that teams have access to the warehouse.
Other changes in the TSC staff include reductions in the number of personnel assigned to a position. With technological changes and procedural streamlining, it is not necessary to have multiple personnel in redundant positions, such as the Operations Recorders, Team Communicators, Engineers, Planners, and Administrative Assistants.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 17 of 27 JIC personnel changes:
In the JIC the proposed change eliminates 2 positions, the On-Site Public Information Coordinator (in the TSC) and the Media Liaison. The on-site public information coordinator reports to the TSC to provide information to the JIC. The off-site public information coordinator reports to the EOF to provide information to the JIC. Procedural and process changes allow the off-site public information coordinator to perform the function.
The Media Liaison ensures the media is familiar with the media center layout and that they are provided with the information they require. The media center manager is also tasked with ensuring the media are provided for at the media center. The media liaison position can be eliminated because the media center manager provides this function.
Other changes in the JIC staff include reductions in the number of personnel assigned to a position. With technological changes and procedural streamlining, it is not necessary to have multiple personnel in redundant positions, such as the Technical Support, Media Registrar, Phone Team, and Media Monitoring Team.
Task Analysis of EOF, TSC, and JIC personnel changes:
The ERO Task Analysis provided in Attachment Ill identifies each current ERO position and the associated duties. The duties of the ERO positions that are being eliminated or reduced were reviewed against WCNOC procedures AP 06-002, Radiological Emergency Response Plan, EPP 06-003, Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Operation, EPP 06-002, Technical Support Center (TSC) Operations, EPP 06-001, Control Room Operations, and EPP 06-004, Public Information Organization. Each of the eliminated or reduced positions was analyzed to identify the key duties associated with the position and the duties were then evaluated against the planning standards in NUREG-0654.
During the development of the proposed changes to the ERO staffing, documented in 11, WCNOC initiated a multi-disciplined team review of every aspect of the ERO staffing changes. This team included participants from Operations, Training, Engineering, Chemistry, Radiation Protection, Emergency Planning, Regulatory Assurance, and plant management. Membership covered all levels of ERO qualifications, incorporating shift technicians, licensed operators, engineers, and emergency managers. Each proposed change in task alignment was reviewed by this group.
The Table provided in Attachment Ill contains columns with headings "Implementing Actions" and "Task Assigned To?". These columns provide the details regarding the disposition of each task. Some of the duties are identified as being eliminated because they are performed redundantly by other positions in the ERO and will continue to be performed by these positions.
Procedures and training materials depicting the changes presented in Attachment Ill will be developed to align with the revised task assignments. These procedures will be used to support training of ERO staff and for the conduct of drills that will be used to validate the staffing and assignment of tasks.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 18 of 27 Impact of personnel changes on ORO Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans:
The proposed changes to the WCNOC RERP, including the changes made to the ERO, have been evaluated for impacts on the ERO and for the ability of OROs to implement their U.S.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved Radiological Emergency Preparedness (REP) Plans. Potential impacts on the ability of State and County response organizations to effectively implement their FEMA-approved REPs do not exist because no tasks that require interfacing with State and County response organizations are proposed for elimination. The WCNOC ERO includes technical support staff that have dedicated responsibilities for interfacing with State and County representatives. During an emergency, these personnel are dispatched to the State and County EOCs to act as communication liaisons between the EOCs and plant technical staff and to provide clarification of emergency response information. These positions remain part of the WCNOC ERO. Attachment V provides a letter of concurrence from the State of Kansas and Coffey County.
Proposed Change to a Single Standardized TSC Activation Time The change in TSC activation time during normal work hours from 30 minutes to 75 minutes removes an administrative burden on the WCNOC ERO which unnecessarily restricts assigned TSC duty team personnel from participating in scheduled offsite meetings, training sessions, or other activities which could place them outside the 30 minute response area.
WCNOC is located in a rural location, with most facilities suitable for large group meetings located greater than the practical 30 minute response area. Additionally, the continued growth of Protected Area security controls post-9/11 continues to effectively reduce the size of this 30 minute response area. This means that the new EOF located approximately 12 miles from the plant site, or any facilities in the local municipalities, are outside the practical response area for anyone on the assigned TSC duty team. Since the alternative TSC/OSC is housed in the new EOF, TSC personnel on the assigned duty team are unnecessarily restricted from participating as either players or controller/evaluators in drills involving this alternative facility.
In addition, TSC personnel on the assigned duty team are also restricted from adapting their
- onsite work hours in response to the needs of the plant. Personnel on the assigned TSC duty team normally hold key positions in the WCNOC organizational structure, and cannot always work a normal Monday through Thursday schedule. Their normal non-ERO duties often involve participation in, or observation of, critical plant evolutions or activities that frequently occur outside normal work hours. If these personnel need to shift their schedule to participate in off-hour activities such as repair of critical equipment or management observations of back-shift evolutions, they must either arrange coverage for their ERO duty during normal work hours, or they must also be onsite during that period.
Standardization of the TSC activation time to a single "within 75 minutes of declaration of an Alert or higher classification" would remove this administrative burden and would allow TSC personnel on the assigned duty team to maintain a single standard for availability no matter if it were during or after normal work hours. The potential impact of this change on TSC activation times during normal work hours is mitigated by the WCNOC policy that all ERO are trained to respond even if they are not on duty. This conservative policy expedites facility activation because some off-duty personnel may already be onsite and would therefore respond sooner than the assigned duty team personnel during normal work hours.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 19 of 27 Proposed Dose Assessment Software Change The current RERP Section 6.3.7.3 reference to the dose assessment software model estimating release rates and off-site exposures for an unmonitored, pressure-driven containment release using the containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure is being removed. This software capability erroneously attributes all changes in containment pressure solely to leakage, and fails to account for the more likely and significant sources of pressure decrease (such as steam cloud condensation and/or temperature reduction due to actuation of coolers or the initiation of containment spray). Historically, use of this capability of the software has produced large overestimations of offsite doses during exercise scenarios containing an unmonitored release, leading to unwarranted recommendations of protective actions td the public. This capability is particularly prone to overestimation of the release rate early in an accident scenario, when the temperature differential between the source term inside containment and the surrounding structures is still considerable. Only after condensation, fan coolers, and containment spray have reduced the source term available for release are the unaccounted-for variables minimized to the point that this software capability would produce accurate release rate estimates. However, by that time the site will have off-site survey teams dispatched and the more accurate and preferable method of estimating release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data would be used instead. The capability to calculate release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data remains in use by the dose assessment software; therefore, removal of the error likely method using the containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure does not decrease dose assessment capabilities.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 20 of 27 CONCLUSIONS WCNOC completed an evaluation of the proposed reduction in ERO staffing and an analysis of proposed on-shift staffing to validate the ability of the proposed on-shift and ERO organization to respond to an emergency. The proposed changes continue to support the major functional areas of the emergency plan, continue to ensure the protection of the health and safety of the public and site personnel, and will not present a significant burden to the on-shift personnel.
Increases from the WCNOC RERP Revision 13 on-shift staffing in Operations ensure performance of major tasks can be completed without conflicts.
The proposed reduction in TSC/OSC augmentation staffing does not result in a reduction of the capability of the ERO to effectively respond to the emergency. The proposed reduction in TSC/OSC augmentation staffing continues to ensure the WCNOC RERP will continue to meet 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2), the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).
The deletion of references to a licensed practitioner with retention of references to existing licensee first aid responders is consistent with the planning standards and evaluation criterion of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Section 11.0.3. The RERP, as changed, would continue to meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50.
ERO personnel are trained with the expectation that, even when they are not on duty, they are to respond to an emergency callout when they are fit for duty and otherwise available for timely response. This requirement can and does (as demonstrated during periodic testing) lead to multiple personnel filling augmented response positions with the potential for some responders to be able to respond more quickly than the individual who is on duty at the time. This "all call" response expectation ensures not only a timely response for augmentation, but provides for more than a minimum quantity of responders. The proposed ERO staffing changes do not impact the capabilities of the on-shift staffing or augmented response. The functional responsibilities of the positions eliminated as a result of the changes described within are being reassigned to remaining positions. Attachment Ill provides the task analysis of all ERO positions being eliminated or reduced and evaluates the transfer of tasks to remaining ERO positions. The proposed ERO staffing reductions continue to address the risks to public health and safety and comply with the WCNOC RERP, site commitments, and applicable regulations.
Reference to performing dose assessment using containment pressure reduction is being removed because the reduction of pressure in containment can be for many reasons, such as temperature changes associated with actuation of coolers or containment spray. Historically, use of this capability of the software has produced large overestimations of offsite doses during exercise scenarios containing an unmonitored release, leading to unwarranted recommendations of protective actions to the public. This capability is particularly prone to overestimation of the release rate early in an accident scenario, when the temperature differential between the source term inside containment and the surrounding structures is still considerable. Only after condensation, fan coolers, and containment spray have reduced the source term available for release are the unaccounted-for variables minimized to the point that this software capability would produce accurate release rate estimates. However, by that time the site will have off-site survey teams dispatched and the more accurate and preferable method of estimating release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data would be used instead. The capability to calculate release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data remains in use by the dose assessment software; therefore, removal of the error likely method using the containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure does not decrease dose assessment capabilities.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 21 of 27 4.0. REGULATORY EVALUATION 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulatory requirements and guidance applicable to the proposed change are as follows:
10 CFR 50.47(b) states:
(b) The on-site and, except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, off-site emergency response plans for nuclear power reactors must meet the following standards:
(1) Primary responsibilities for emergency response by the nuclear facility licensee and by State and local organizations within the Emergency Planning Zones have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various supporting organizations have been specifically established, and each principal response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.*
(2) On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces among various on-site response activities and off-site support and response activities are specified.
10 CFR 50.54(g)(1 )(iii) states:
Emergency planning function means a capability or resource necessary to prepare for and respond to a radiological emergency, as set forth in the elements of section IV, of appendix E to this part [Part 50] and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, the planning standards of §50.47(b).
10 CFR 50.54(g)(1 )(iv) states:
Reduction in effectiveness means a change in an emergency plan that results in reducing the licensee's capability to perform an emergency planning function in the event of a radiological emergency.
10 CFR 50.54(g)(2) states in part:
A holder of a license under this part, ... shall follow and maintain the effectiveness of an emergency plan that meets the requirements in appendix E to this part and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, the planning standards of§ 50.47(b).
10 CFR 50.54(g)(3) states:
The licensee may make changes to its emergency plan without NRG approval only if the licensee performs and retains an analysis demonstrating that the changes do not reduce the effectiveness of the plan and the plan, as changed, continues to meet the requirements in appendix E to this part and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, the
- planning standards of§ 50.47(b).
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 22 of 27 10 CFR 50.54(g)(4) states:
The changes to a licensee's emergency plan that reduce the effectiveness of the plan as defined in paragraph (q)(1)(iv) of this section may not be implemented without prior approval by the NRC. A licensee desiring to make such a change after February 21, 2012 shall submit an application for an amendment to its license. In addition to the filing requirements of§§ 50.90 and 50.91, the request must include all emergency plan pages affected by that change and must be accompanied by a forwarding Jetter identifying the change, the reason for the change, and the basis for concluding that the licensee's emergency plan, as revised, will continue to meet the requirements in appendix E to this part and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, the planning standards of§ 50.47(b).
10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV, Part A states in part:
The organization for coping with radiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergency organization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of an emergency. Specifically, the following shall be included:
... a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan.
WCNOC, as required under 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4), is hereby submitting proposed revisions to the WCNOC RERP for NRC approval prior to implementation. The proposed changes continue to meet the provisions of 10 CFR 50.47(b) as the WCNOC RERP will continue to have on-site and off-site emergency responsibilities and provide adequate staffing to provide facility accident responses. Further, the current WC NOC RERP meets the planning standards* of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E as required by 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2). The proposed changes reduce on-shift and augmented staffing as described previously. Therefore, the proposed change is considered a reduction in effectiveness as defined in 10 CFR 50.54(q)(1)(iv) and requires submittal of a license amendment request to the NRC based on 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4) in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90.
With the proposed changes the WCNOC RERP will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) by maintaining the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan such that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).
Finally, the current WCNOC RERP includes a description of the organization, including definition of authorities, responsibilities and duties of individuals. The current WCNOC RERP is in compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.A. The LAR proposes to reduce on-shift and augmented staff. Augmentation times remain the same. The proposed changes to the WCNOC RERP will continue to describe the authorities, responsibilities and duties of these individuals.
Therefore, with the changes proposed in the LAR, the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E continue to be met.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016
- Page, 23 of 27 Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.101, Revision 2, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors" (Reference 6), provides guidance on methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of NRC regulations (i.e. 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50). RG 1.101 endorses NUREG- 0654/FEMA-REP-1 (NUREG-0654), Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants" (Reference 1), which provides specific acceptance criteria for complying with the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.47(b). These criteria provide a basis for NRC licensees, and state and local governments to develop acceptable radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness.
Regulatory Guide 1.219, Revision 1, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans for Nuclear Power Reactors" (Reference 4), provides guidance on methods acceptable to the NRC staff for implementation of 10 CFR 50.54(q) as it relates to making changes to emergency response plans.
In NUREG-0654,Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria," Evaluation Criteria 11.8.1 and 11.8.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard. Evaluation Criteria 11.8.1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel for all shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shift complement. Evaluation Criteria 11.8.5, states, in part:
Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity. For emergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and for plant staff members, both on~site and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies." The minimum on-shift staffing levels shall be as indicated in Table B-1. The licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after
- declaration of an emergency. This capability shall be as indicated in Table B-1.
NUREG-0654 states general guidance concerning the off-site emergency organization to allow licensees some flexibility in the number of on-shift staff required by emergency plans for response to emergency events. NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, in addition to on-shift personnel, 30-minute and 60-minute responders. The augmented ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, and administrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing them to focus more fully on plant operations. NUREG-0654 also provides the guidance that augmentation time be measured from the declaration of the emergency.
The current WCNOC RERP staffing in Attachment D meets the intent of NUREG-0654, Table 8-
- 1. This LAR proposes to reduce on-shift and augmented staff as previously described. The proposed changes to the E-Plan continue to meet the intent of NUREG-0654, Table 8-1 (i.e.,
continues to cover the emergency functional areas in Table 8-1 ). Therefore, the proposed changes continue to meet NUREG-0654, Section 11.8.5 guidance.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 24 of 27 In NUREG-0654,Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria," Evaluation Criteria items 11.0.3 and 11.0.4 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(15) planning standard. 11.0.3 specifies the type of training to be provided to licensee first aid team members who may be called on to assist in an emergency: "Training for individuals assigned to licensee first aid teams shall include courses equivalent to Red Cross Multi-Media." Item 11.0.4 specifies categories of training to be provided in a training program for instructing and qualifying personnel who will implement radiological emergency response plans. Item 11.0.4.f specifies "First aid and rescue personnel" as one of these categories.
Additionally, the following 10 CFR 50.47(b) standards and their associated NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 evaluation criteria were evaluated with respect to the Licensed Practitioner proposed change:
10 CFR 50.47(b)(12) states:
Arrangements are made for medical services for contaminated, injured individuals.
NUREG-0654 item 11.L.2 specifies provisions for on-site first aid capability.
10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) states, in part:
Periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies are identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected."
NUREG-0654 item 11.N.2.c specifies conduct of annual medical emergency drills and items 11.N.3, 11.N.4 and 11.N.5 specify scenario composition, critique and correction.
The practice of having a Licensed Practitioner on-site during business hours is over and above regulatory requirements and guidance. WCNOC maintains qualified first aid responders on-shift 24/7 in accordance with regulations and guidance; therefore elimination of the Licensed Practitioner from the RERP does not impact compliance with regulations.
10 CFR 50.47(b)(9) states:
Adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use.
The current RERP Section 6.3. 7.3 reference to the dose assessment software model estimating release rates and off-site exposures for an unmonitored, pressure-driven containment release using the containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure is being removed. This software capability erroneously attributes all changes in containment pressure solely to leakage, and fails to account for the more likely and significant sources of pressure decrease (such as steam cloud condensation and/or temperature reduction due to actuation of coolers or the initiation of containment spray). Historically, use of this capability of the software has produced large overestimations of offsite doses during exercise scenarios containing an unmonitored release, leading to unwarranted recommendations of protective actions to the public. This capability is particularly prone to overestimation of the release rate early in an accident scenario, when the temperature differential between the source term inside containment and the surrounding structures is still considerable. Only after condensation, fan coolers, and containment spray have reduced the source term available for release are the unaccounted-for variables minimized to the point that this software capability would produce accurate release rate estimates. However, by that time the site will have off-site survey teams dispatched and the more accurate and preferable method of estimating release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data would be used instead. The capability
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 25 of 27 to calculate release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data remains in use by the dose assessment software; therefore, removal of the error likely method using the containment High Area Radiation Monitor readings and changes in containment pressure does not decrease dose assessment capabilities.
Conclusion WCNOC has evaluated the proposed changes against the applicable regulatory requirements, regulatory guidance and acceptance criteria. The proposed changes continue to assure that regulatory requirements, guidance and emergency planning standards associated with emergency response are met and that personnel and public health and safety are not impacted.
4.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," WCNOC hereby requests an amendment to the Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 for WCGS. This amendment request proposes a change to the Emergency Response Organization as specified in the WCNOC Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
WCNOC has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:
- 1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change to the WCNOC Emergency Plan is administrative in nature. This proposed change does not alter accident analysis assumptions, add any initiators, or affect the function of plant systems or the manner in which systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does not require any plant modifications which affect the performance capability of the structures, systems, and components (SSCs) relied upon to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents, and has no impact on the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change to the WCNOC Emergency Plan is administrative in nature. This proposed change does not alter accident analysis assumptions, add any initiators, or affect the function of plant systems or the manner in which systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does not require any plant modifications which affect the performance capability of the SSCs relied upon to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents, and does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
Attachment I to WO 18-0016 Page 26 of 27 Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No Plant safety margins are established through limiting conditions for operation, limiting safety systems settings, and safety limits specified in the technical specifications. The proposed change to the WCNOC Emergency Plan is administrative in nature. Since the proposed change is administrative in nature, there are no changes to these established safety margins.
Therefore the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above evaluations, WCNOC concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
4.3 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner; (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
WCNOC has evaluated the proposed change and has determined that the change does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released off-site, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed change meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Attachment V of WO 18-0016 Page 2 of 2 Letter of Consultation and Concurrence from Off-site Response Organizations Acknowledgement of Opportunity to Review and Support WCNOC License Amendment Request During meetings on September 7 and October 17, 2017 with off-site response organizations (ORO), Emergency Preparedness (EP) representatives from WCNOC provided a briefing to the Coffey County Emergency Management organization, and the state of Kansas (ORO stakeholders). Note that if an organization was not in attendance, a one-on one meeting was conducted to update the stakeholder with information contained in the license amendment request {LAR). WCNOC EP staff reviewed with the ORO stakeholders the proposed license amendment request (LAR), including seeking NRC approval for extension of the goal for staffing its augmented TSC/OSC Emergency Response Organization {ERO) from the current goal of 60 minutes to one of 90 minutes and reduction of the total number of ERO responders. During the reference meeting, WCNOC EP Staff provided assurances that the proposed changes will not adversely affect existing capabilities for prompt notification to the stakeholders of an Emergency Classification Level, for radiological monitoring and assessment support, and for ongoing communication and coordination of emergency information. In addition to maintaining notification capabilities to notify the stakeholders of a declared emergency within 15 minutes, WCNOC will continue to deploy a liaison to the Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs) after declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification level. The staffing levels at the EOCs wil~ not change. The ERO will continue to support the state for/off-site radiological monitoring an~ assessment. Coordination arrangements between WCNO.C and the ORO stakeholders will continue to allow for timely dissemination of emergency information to the public. Activation tije for the EOF is not changing and remains at 90 minutes. ~
With the assurances noted above, the ORO stakeholders repr senting the named organization haye received information on the Emergency Response Orga, ,ization (ERO) augmentation 1
License Amendment Request (LAR) to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and support the requested changes.

Information Use Page 3 of 108 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS)
Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is to classify emergencies , assign responsibilities for actions , and to establish the lines of authority and communications to protect the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency .
2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The RERP has been developed in accordance with 10CFR Part 50, Paragraph 50.47 and Appendix E, Regulatory Guide 1.101 and generally follows the guidelines of NUREG 0696 and 0654 . The RERP is sensitive to a broad spectrum of emergency conditions which have been postu l ated for a commercial pressurized water reactor. Although the probability of an accident is low , the RERP is maintained to assure the safety and well-being of plant personnel and members of the public in the vicinity of WCGS .
2.2 The RERP interfaces with several related documents such as the Administrative Procedures (APs) and Emergency Plan Procedures (EPPs) . Detailed instructions necessary to support the RERP are included in these procedures and are available for training ,
drill , and actual emergency use. The RERP references the WCGS Fire and Security Plans , Vendor contingency plans as well as those of medical support facilities and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) . This document has been designed to coordinate with the State Emergency Operations Plan and the Coffey County Contingency Plan for Incidents Involving Commercial Nuclear Power , which govern the activities of these support groups in response to events at WCGS.
2.3 The RERP is based on a graduated , escalating level of emergency response which is activated as conditions at the plant warrant .
This approach provides the flexibility necessary to ensure adequate emergency response to a spectrum of possible events .
The RERP is designed to control emergency response activities ranging from initial event detection , classification of the event , notification of off-site authorities and providing protective action recommendations to the county and state.
2.4 The RERP reflects three chief phases of activation . First the response is dominated solely by the site staff , next the on-site and off-site public information facilities are jointly activated , and finally the recovery efforts are performed by site, public information facilities, vendor , and other critical support groups.

Information Use Page 14 of 108 6.1.3 The immediat e site environs are sparsely populated.
Burl i ngton and New Strawn are the major population centers . John Redmond Reservoir (JRR) and Coffey County Lake (CCL) are the major recreational facilit i es . Most of the seasonal or daily shifts in population are associated with recreational areas around JRR and CCL . Approximately 70 % of the annual visitors to the John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake come t o the area during the summer months.
6.1. 4 The 10 - mile Plume Exposure Emergen cy Planning Zone (EPZ) is a major consideration in the RERP .
Approximately 99 % of the 10 - mile EPZ is located within Coffey County and 1 % within Anderson County . The EPZ has been defined by developing sub - zones based upon natural and political subdivisions . These have been described for evacuation zones approximating 2 , 5 and 10 - mile radial rings . This distribution allows ready identificati on of areas t o be evacuated and facilitates public re cogn iti on of subzones in which they work or reside . FIGURE 1 , EFFECTIVE 10 MILE EPZ , SUBZONES AND EVACUATION ROUTES , presents the 2 , 5 and 10-mile radi al zones and subzones which provides the basis for the design of an alert and n ot ification system .
6.1. 5 The total population of the effective 10-mile EPZ is shown in ATTACHMENT B, SUBZONE EVACUATION TIMES . With the exception of Burlington and the other population centers listed in ATTACHMENT A, EFFECTIVE 10-MILE POPULATION CENTERS , the population density of the effective 10 - mile EPZ is approximately 4.4 persons per square mile . Other than the WCGS , there are no large industries i n the area .
6.1. 6 Principal geographical features within the effective 10 - mile EPZ are the Neosho River, JRR , and CCL . The land around WCGS is flat with scattered l ow hills .
Dense vege tati on i n the form of large trees exists on the banks of the river and in recreational areas .
There are no topographical features within the effective 10 - mile EPZ that significantly influence the design of the Alert and Notification System.
- 1. Sparsely populated farm land comprises the majority of the effective 10 - mile EPZ.
- 2. The site also demonstrates favorable topography ,
demography , and meteorology, which have been factored into many analyses that support the emergency planning effort .

- 3. The Neosho River is oriented northwest - southeast and extends to within 3 miles southwest of the plant.
- 4. The main darn of the John Redmond Reservoir is 3.5 miles west of the plant . This water conservation pool is approximately 4 miles in diameter with a surface area of 15 square miles .
- 5. The Coffey County Lake is approximately 7 miles long with a normal surface area of 8 square miles.
6 .1. 7 The meteorological conditions within the effective 10-rnile EPZ are characterized by a distinctly continental climate with warm humid summers and highly variable winter weather . Maritime tropical air originating over the Gulf o f Mexico is the dominant air mass from June through August . This air mass is quite humid resulting in considerable thunderstorm activity. From November through February, continental polar air dominates the climate .
6.2 Emergency Classifications
- 6. 2 . 1 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C, requires a classification scheme of four specific levels of emergencies .

6.2. 2 An emergency class is a qualitative estimate of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of plant systems and the levels of radiation in plant areas and effluents. However, an emergency class does not give a qualitative or quantitative estimate of the subsequent status of the plant or radioactive release.
6.2.3 The emergency classes are used by off - site authorities to determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations . Protective actions taken on behalf of members of the public are the legal responsibility of state and local government.

This is to better assure that timely recognition and notification occurs, that events occurring during refueling and co ld shutdown are appropriately covered, and that multiple events can be effectively treated .
6 . 2 .5 The Emergenc y Action Le vel s (EAL ) are contained in APF 06 - 002 - 01 , EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS . The EAL have been developed and agreed upon by WCGS, the State of Kansas and Coffey County and approved by the NRC. [Commitment Step 3.2.1]
- 1. The EAL are reviewed annually by the State and County .
- 6. 2. 6 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C . 2 , requires licensees to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify , and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency .
6.2.7 Each emergency classification causes certain actions to happen such as notifications, activation and evacuation .
- 1. An NOE requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. No evacuation or activation required .
- 2. An Alert requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified . The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is called out and the emergency facilities are activated . Accountability may be performed if necessary.
- 3. A Site Area Emergency requires plant personnel , the County and State t o be notified. The ERO is called out and the emergency facilities are activated .

6.3 Emergency Measures
- 6. 3.1 Protective actions to minimize personnel exposure are taken when an incident has occurred , or may occur ,
which could result in a fission product barrier challenge or breach . In addition , protective actions are taken for personnel on - site for situations such as f i r es o r flooding , where personnel safety is threatened .
6.3.2 Emergency measures consist of assessment , corrective ,
and protective actions . The Shift Manager and Senior Reactor Operators assume immediate responsibility for accident assessment and mitigation. The RERP and detailed emergency actions are based on the assumption that , in an emergency , licensed operators take appropriate measures to maintain or return the facility to a safe condition , in accordance with operating license conditions and the technical specifications.
- 1. Callout of the ERO to augment the on - shift staff and to activate the Emergency Facilities is perf o rmed at an Alert or higher classification o r whenever augmentati o n is deemed necessary .

Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 3 of 105 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS)
Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP) is to classify emergencies, assign responsibilities for actions, and to establish the lines of authority and communications to protect the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency.
2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The RERP has been developed in accordance with 10CFR Part 50, Paragraph 50.47 and Appendix E, Regulatory Guide 1.101 and generally follows the guidelines of NUREG 0696 and 0654. The RERP is sensitive to a broad spectrum of emergency conditions which have been postulated for a commercial pressurized water reactor. Although the probability of an accident is low, the RERP is maintained to assure the safety and well-being of plant personnel and members of the public in the vicinity of WCGS.
2.2 The RERP interfaces with several related documents such as the Administrative Procedures (APs) and Emergency Plan Procedures (EPPs). Detailed instructions necessary to support the RERP are included in these procedures and are available for training, drill, and actual emergency use. The RERP references the WCGS Fire and Security Plans, Vendor contingency plans as well as those of medical support facilities and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). This document has been designed to coordinate with the State Emergency Operations Plan and the Coffey County Contingency Plan for Incidents Involving Commercial Nuclear Power, which govern the activities of these support groups in response to events at WCGS.
2.3 The RERP is based on a graduated, escalating level of emergency response which is activated as conditions at the plant warrant.
This approach provides the flexibility necessary to ensure adequate emergency response to a spectrum of possible events.
The RERP is designed to control emergency response activities ranging from initial event detection, classification of the event, notification of off-site authorities and providing protective action recommendations to the county and state.
2.4 The RERP reflects three chief phases of activation. First the response is dominated solely by the site staff, next the on-site and off-site public information facilities are jointly activated, and finally the recovery efforts are performed by site, public information facilities, vendor, and other critical support groups.

No further discussion of the normal operating organization is contained within the RERP.
2.6 The WCGS design bases accidents and various plant systems are listed and described in the WCGS Technical Specifications and USAR. No further discussion of these accidents or systems is contained within the RERP.
2.7 The owners of WCGS do not respond to the site during emergency events for augmentation. The Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation organization functions from the site during normal everyday operations.

6.0 PROCEDURE 6.1 Site Description 6 .1.1 WCGS is a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear generating station operated by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC).
Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 13 of 105 6 .1. 2 WCGS is located near the center of Coffey County, Kansas (KS), about 3.5 miles northeast of Burlington, the county seat, 90 miles southwest of Kansas City, MO and 55 miles south of the state capital Topeka, KS.
Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 14 of 105 6.1.3 The immediate site environs are sparsely populated.
Burlington and New Strawn are the major population centers. John Redmond Reservoir (JRR) and Coffey County Lake (CCL) are the major recreational facilities. Most of the seasonal or daily shifts in population are associated with recreational areas around JRR and CCL. Approximately 70% of the annual visitors to the John Redmond Reservoir and Coffey County Lake come to the area during the summer months.
6.1.4 The 10-mile Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is a major consideration in the RERP.
Approximately 99% of the 10-mile EPZ is located within Coffey County and 1% within Anderson County. The EPZ has been defined by developing sub-zones based upon natural and political subdivisions. These have been described for evacuation zones approximating 2, 5 and 10-mile radial rings. This distribution allows ready identification of areas to be evacuated and facilitates public recognition of subzones in which they work or reside. FIGURE 1, EFFECTIVE 10 MILE EPZ, SUBZONES AND EVACUATION ROUTES, presents the 2, 5 and 10-mile radial zones and subzones which provides the basis for the design of an alert and notification system.
6.1.5 The total population of the effective 10-mile EPZ is shown in ATTACHMENT B, SUBZONE EVACUATION TIMES. With the exception of Burlington and the other population centers listed in ATTACHMENT A, EFFECTIVE 10-MILE POPULATION CENTERS, the population density of the effective 10-mile EPZ is approximately 4.4 persons per square mile. Other than the WCGS, there are no large industries in the area.
6.1.6 Principal geographical features within the effective 10-mile EPZ are the Neosho River, JRR, and CCL. The land around WCGS is flat with scattered low hills.
Dense vegetation in the form of large trees exists on the banks of the river and in recreational areas.
There are no topographical features within the effective 10-mile EPZ that significantly influence the design of the Alert and Notification System.
- 1. Sparsely populated farm land comprises the majority of the effective 10-mile EPZ.
- 2. The site also demonstrates favorable topography, demography, and meteorology, which have been factored into many analyses that support the emergency planning effort.
Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 15 of 105
- 3. The Neosho River is oriented northwest-southeast and extends to within 3 miles southwest of the plant.
- 4. The main dam of the John Redmond Reservoir is 3.5 miles west of the plant. This water conservation pool is approximately 4 miles in diameter with a surface area of 15 square miles.
- 5. The Coffey County Lake is approximately 7 miles long with a normal surface area of 8 square miles.
6.1.7 The meteorological conditions within the effective 10-mile EPZ are characterized by a distinctly continental climate with warm humid summers and highly variable winter weather. Maritime tropical air originating over the Gulf of Mexico is the dominant air mass from June through August. This air mass is quite humid resulting in considerable thunderstorm activity. From November through February, continental polar air dominates the climate.
6.2 Emergency Classifications 6.2.1 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C, requires a classification scheme of four specific levels of emergencies. NUMARC/NESP 007 is identified within REGULATORY GUIDE 1.101 and is considered by the NRC as an acceptable alternative method to that described in Appendix 1 to NUREG 0654. [Commitment Step 3.2.1]
6.2.2 An emergency class is a qualitative estimate of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of plant systems and the levels of radiation in plant areas and effluents. However, an emergency class does not give a qualitative or quantitative estimate of the subsequent status of the plant or radioactive release.
6.2.3 The emergency classes are used by off-site authorities to determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of members of the public are the legal responsibility of state and local government.
- 1. The functional interfaces between WCGS and other emergency organizations are shown in FIGURE 6, EMERGENCY ORGANIZATIONS INTERFACES.
Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 16 of 105 6.2.4 The classification system used at WCGS is an approach that ranges from primarily event-based for Unusual Event to primarily symptom or barrier-based for General Emergencies. This is to better assure that timely recognition and notification occurs, that events occurring during refueling and cold shutdown are appropriately covered, and that multiple events can be effectively treated.
6.2.5 The Emergency Action Levels (EAL) are contained in APF 06-002-01, EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS. The EAL have been developed and agreed upon by WCGS, the State of Kansas and Coffey County and approved by the NRC. [Commitment Step 3.2.1]
- 1. The EAL are reviewed annually by the State and County.
- 6. 2. 6 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C.2, requires licensees to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to pl~nt operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency.
6.2.7 Each emergency classification causes certain actions to happen such as notifications, activation and evacuation.
- 1. An NUE requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. No evacuation or activation required.
- 2. An Alert requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is called out and the emergency facilities are activated. Accountability may be performed if necessary.
- 3. A Site Area Emergency requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. The ERO is called out and the emergency facilities are activated.
The protected area is evacuated of non-responding personnel for accountability. JRR and CCL are evacuated. Accountability for site personnel is performed.
Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 17 of 105
- 4. A General Emergency requires plant personnel, the County and State to be notified. The ERO is called out and the emergency facilities are activated.
The site is evacuated of non-responding personnel.
JRR and CCL are evacuated. Accountability for site personnel is performed.
6.3 Emergency Measures 6.3.1 Protective actions to minimize personnel exposure are taken when an incident has occurred, or may occur, which could result in a fission product barrier challenge or breach. In addition, ,protective actions are taken for personnel on-site for situations such as fires or flooding, where personnel safety is threatened.
6.3.2 Emergency measures consist of assessment, corrective, and protective actions. The Shift Manager and Senior Reactor Operators assume immediate responsibility for accident assessment and mitigation. The RERP and detailed emergency actions are based on the assumption that, in an emergency, licensed operators take appropriate measures to maintain or return the facility to a safe condition, in accordance with operating license conditions and the technical specifications.
- 1. Callout of the ERO to augment the on-shift staff and to activate the Emergency Facilities is performed at an Alert or higher classification or whenever augmentation is deemed necessary.
6.3.3 Immediate and Follow-up notifications made to State and County authorities provide information for their use in making prompt decisions for notifying the public and ordering off-site protective actions.
- 1. Immediate notifications are made for each emergency classification.
- 2. Immediate notifications are made to the Coffey County Sheriff dispatcher and the Kansas Division of Emergency Management State Duty Officer within 15 minutes.
- 3. The notification form contains information agreed upon by WCGS, the State and County for each of the Immediate and Follow-up notifications. The following is a list of information that may be on the form:

Information Use Page 20 of 105 6.3.7 The Emergency Dose Calculation Program (EDCP) is a computerized method to provide dose estimates using actual or estimated meteorological data (wind speed, wind direction, degree of cloud cover, day or night determination) and radiological effluent data (actual measurements, estimated values based upon USAR source terms, or field measurements). EDCP is designed to:
[Reference Step 3.1.9]
- 1. Use radiological and meteorological information to provide an estimate of off-site exposure.
- 2. Be capable of estimating release rates and off-site exposures from off-site field team data.
- 3. Off-site dose predictions when combined with actual release duration information and meteorological data during an event, provide sufficient data to estimate the cumulative population dose resulting from the event. The actual off-site population dose is confirmed by off-site monitoring, sampling and analysis.
6.3.8 Radiological monitoring teams have a goal of 60 minutes from the declaration of Alert or greater emergency to be ready for deployment to confirm effluent readings and verify plume emission and locations.

6.3.14 A supply of potassium iodide (KI) is maintained at the Control Room, TSC and the EOF to be used in the event that an individual may be exposed to radioiodine.
6.3.15 There are suggested levels of exposure to be accepted in emergencies. Immediate reentry may be necessary to save a life, account for missing personnel, or secure vital equipment. The Emergency Managers are ultimately responsible for exposure control and can permit the receiving of up to 5 REM per person for work activities, 10 REM for saving valuable equipment and 25 REM for lifesaving after consulting with the NRC, if feasible. Exposure which might exceed 25 REM, for lifesaving activities, must be approved by an Emergency Manager. Although EPA and NRC do not provide specific guidance for the upper bounds for lifesaving exposure, WCGS has chosen to use the following criteria:
Revision: 18 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AP 06-002 (RERP)
Information Use Page 22 of 105
- 1. Emergency Managers shall not knowingly permit an individual's exposure to exceed 25 REM, unless it is for lifesaving activities or protection of large populations. Emergency Managers shall not knowingly permit an individual to enter a high dose area if the projected Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) is expected to exceed 75 REM.
o Those individuals designated to exceed 25 REM must be volunteers and be fully aware of the risks involved.
- 2. Emergency Managers should obtain the advice and concurrence of the Radiological Coordinators in approving additional exposure.
6.3.16 Under emergency conditions, normal exposure controls are maintained. This is ensured by the on-shift Radiation Protection Technician (RP) in the Control Room, the Radiological Coordinators in the TSC and EOF.
6.3.17 The Radiological Coordinator has responsibility for maintaining exposure control for site activities, including establishment of access control at alternate locations. Strict exposure control of individuals passing through the access point is maintained on a 24-hour-per-day basis.

6.21 Recovery Plan 6.21.1 The Recovery Plan is activated in a progressive manner when the Site, if EOF not activated, or Off-site Emergency Manager determines stabilized plant conditions warrant the transition of the emergency response efforts to the recovery phase.
6.21.2 IF a General Emergency has been reached, THEN NRC and KDEM concurrence shall be obtained prior to downgrading.
6.21.3 The EPPs provide the general plans for reentry and recovery and describe the means by which decisions to relax protective measures are reached.
- 1. Evaluation of the status of the three fission product barriers is used for de-escalation. As the situation improves and barriers are restored, the next lower level of event may be declared.
- 2. De-escalation may also occur if conditions have stabilized such that the potential for re-escalation to a higher level has been removed and a controlled situation exists. A declaration of de-escalation is provided by the Emergency Manager based on known information and recommendations of the ERO.
- 3. Guidelines are provided for Reentry Team(s) to perform surveys and monitoring activities to be employed for initial reentry.
6.21.4 During the recovery process the normal procedures employed for configuration control, reporting, interfaces with regulatory agencies and support groups, exposure control, environmental monitoring, and procurement of supplies and services shall be utilized.

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report r
Prepared by:- ~JJ)1o-,u____- I 10/26/2017 Reviewed by: 11/8/2017 Superintendent, Emergency Planning Approved by:
Site Vice President Rev 1
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1
Purpose:
The 2011 amendments to 10 CFR 50 Appendix E required nuclear power plant licensees to perform a detailed staffing analysis for specified scenarios to demonstrate that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of the assigned functions. Revision O of the Wolf Creek On-Shift Staffing Analysis (OSSA) Report was completed on December 12, 2012.
Quick Hit QH-2017-1438, "Assessment of Chemistry and Health Physics use within the On-Shift Staffing Analysis," was initiated on February 27, 2017 to determine if the number of chemistry and HP (Health Physics) personnel required to be on shift could be reduced. The QH concluded that the OSSA should be re-performed. Condition Report 111422 was initiated on 3/6/2017 to re-perform the OSSA. The OSSA has been re-analyzed with Revision 1 being completed 12/5/2017 when the License Amendment Request was reviewed by the Plant Safety Review Committee. In addition to determining if the number of HP and chemistry personnel could be reduced, this reanalysis also evaluated if the emergency notification system communicator (ENS) and the off-site communicator (OSC) could be combined into one position with one person fulfilling the position.
Since the revised OSSA supports reductions to staffing levels on shift that must be approved by the NRC prior to implementation in accordance with 50.54(q), a draft of this document and associated Corrective Action Program documents will be included in a License Amendment Request. Once the License Amendment Request is approved, the OSSA and associated Corrective Action Program documents will be issued by the licensee.
Note that HP technicians will be hereafter referred to as Radiation Protection (RP) technicians to align with station references to this work group, unless quoting a procedure step verbatim.
Analysis Process:
Interim Staff Guidance (NSIR/DPR ISG-01) supporting the Emergency Preparedness Rule endorses the staffing analysis methodology provided in NEI 10-05, Revision 0, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," as an acceptable methodology for conducting the detailed staffing analysis. NEI 10-05 methodology was used for the reanalysis.
A multi-disciplinary team performed the reanalysis. The team included:
- Operations - Ed Winn
- Radiation Protection - Ryan Adams
- Chemistry - Neil Woydziak
- Licensing - Lucille Stone 1
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 NEI 10-05 methodology includes the following elements:
- Define the on-shift emergency response organization (ERO) staffing and response time requirements
- Define site-specific event scenarios meeting ISG requirements
- Perform an OSSA for each event
- Perform a Time Motion Study (TMS) to analyze the results of the OSSA, if deemed necessary The result of the assessment is to be incorporated into the site Emergency Plan and is considered part of the licensing basis.
Minimum Shift Staffing and Response Times The minimum staffing reflected in procedure AP 06-002, Radiological Emergency Response Plan (REMP), Attachment D, WCGS Minimum Staffing for Emergencies, is the Minimum Shift Crew Composition as listed in Table 5.2.1-1 of the Technical Requirements Manual.
AP 06-002, Radiological Emergency Response Plan (on hold pending approval)
Attachment D WCGS Minimum Staffing for Emergencies Position Revised On-Shift (pending approval)
Shift Manager (SRO) 1 Control Room Supervisor (CRS) 1 Reactor Operator (RO) 2 Nuclear Station Operator (NSO) 1 7 Shift Technical Advisor (STA) 1 Radiation Protection (RP) Personnel 2 Chemistrv Personnel 1 Communicator (NSO) 1 Total 16 Fire Brigade 2 5 First Aid & Rescue 3 2 Security Per Security Plan 1
One NSO 1s a dedicated Emergency Communicator (ENS and OSC) and cannot be on Fire Brigade, referred to as NSO #1/2 in the OSSA.
2 Fire Brigade is a collateral duty of 5 NSOs.
3 First Aid & Rescue is a collateral duty provided by Fire Brigade/Security.
Augmentation for RP technicians, chemistry technicians and emergency communicators is expected within 90 minutes. For the purposes of this analysis 90 minutes was used as the time period for the conduct of on-shift ERO response actions.

- 1. Condition IV events as described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report
- 2. Station Design Basis Threat
- 3. Response actions for an "aircraft probable threat" in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(hh}(1) and as discussed in RG 1.214, "Guidance for Assessment of Beyond-Design-Basis Aircraft Impacts;" and
- 4. Control room fire leading to evacuation and remote shutdown , as referenced in Information Notice 95-48 "Results of On-Shift Staffing Study."
The rule requires additional analyses to be performed unless justification exists that would allow the licensee to not perform them for:
- 1. Station Blackout (using existing USAR assumptions)
- 2. Appendix R Fire Response
- 3. SAMG Response (to the extent performed by on-shift personnel prior to augmentation) 3
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 The team verified that the fourteen events analyzed per guidance provided in the NRC Interim Staff Guidance and NEI 10-05 for Revision O of the OSSA still applied. The events include:
- Eight Condition IV design basis accidents from the USAR
- Design Basis Threat and Probable Aircraft Threat
- Station Blackout
- Fire with control room evacuation and alternate shutdown
- Appendix R Fire Response.
It was determined that SAMG and Appendix R Fire Response are bounded by other events.
Twelve events were carried forward for analysis. Appendix A to this report documents identification of the required scenarios.
The OSSA was conducted by a multi-disciplined team using site procedures to determine if tasks have been sufficiently analyzed for performance by the minimum on-shift staff as designated in the Emergency Plan/Operations Watch Bill. Task areas analyzed included:
- Event Mitigation (EOP/AOP, other site procedures)
- Fire Response (as determined by the scenario)
- RP/Chemistry Functions (as specified in site response procedures)
- Emergency Preparedness Functions (NUREG-0654 Table B-1/ISG -01)
This part of the analysis was not designed to identify staffing deficiencies. This part of the analysis documents areas requiring further study as designated in NEI 10-05.
Summary of Areas Requiring Further Evaluation Based on Initial Analysis:
- 1. Design Basis Threat Response Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1 /2 due to performance of NRC notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
The majority of shift personnel take refuge as directed by site procedure.
- 2. Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
Further evaluation required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRC notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 3. Feedwater System Piping Break Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1 /2 due to performance of NRC notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
4
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1
- 4. Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1 /2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 5. Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Break Bounded by the analysis for Event #4.
- 6. Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 7. Steam Generator Tube Failure Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 8. Loss of Coolant Accident - Large Break Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 9. Design Basis Fuel Handling Accident This event would not occur when only the minimum on-shift staff is present.
The staffing requirements were not included in the OSSA, since the "minimum on-shift staff' scenario would not apply.
- 10. Aircraft Probable Threat Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 11. Station Blackout Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
- 12. Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown Further evaluation is required for Nuclear Station Operator #1/2 due to performance of NRG notifications (T5/L 13 function) per NEI 10-05, Table 3.1.
Preliminary analysis indicates a need for additional personnel to respond to this event:
- a. Five personnel would be needed for Fire Brigade. Other on-shift NSO, personnel would be performing EP and remote shutdown functions; and therefore would not be available to fight the fire.
5
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Preliminary Report by Department:
- Operations - For all events: NRC Communication (per NEI 10-05, this task should be treated as a continuous action per 10 CFR 50.72(c)(3) and 73.71(b)(1) which requires licensees reporting events to "maintain an open and continuous communications channel with the NRC Operations Center upon request by the NRC.") All emergency communications and notifications will be performed by one communicator.
For events requiring activation of the Fire Brigade - Five nuclear station operators, and one person to perform OFN KC-016 actions.
- Radiation Protection - During this analysis, no conflicts with current staffing were identified.
- Chemistry - During this analysis, no conflicts with current staffing were identified.
- Security - Not evaluated. Security staffing is per the Security Plan.
Functional Analysis of Collateral Duties (TMS)
Using the event analysis results that identified positions with multiple/collateral duties assigned, the team performed a function/responsibility analysis. The event narratives describe the assignment of tasks for each position. Specific resources needed to perform initial event response actions were identified from the procedures and documented.
The team determined when other on-shift resources would be required and identified the time required to perform expected emergency plan functions. Times were determined based on Time Critical Action/Time Sensitive Action documentation and review of videotaped simulator scenarios involving the analyzed events.
Based on the analysis, the following conflicting collateral duty functions were identified:
Position Primary Functions Conflicting Collateral Duties Shift Manager Mitigation & Emergency Planning Control Room Supervisor Mitigation & Emergency Planning Shift Technical Advisor Mitioation & Emeroency Planning Reactor Operator Mitigation & Emergency Planning Balance of Plant (RO) Mitigation & Emergency Planning OFN KC-016 Duty Person Fire Response Turbine Building Watch (NSO) Mitigation Fire Brigade Auxiliary Building Watch (NSO) Mitigation Fire Brigade Fire Brigade Leader (NSO) Mitigation Fire Brigade Nuclear Station Operator (NSO) Mitigation Fire Brigade Nuclear Station Operator (NSO) Mitigation Fire Brigade Site Watch (NSO) Mitioation Emergency Notification System / Emergency Planning Off-Site Communicator (NSO)
Radiation Protection Technician Control Room/Access Control &
Habitability Radiation Protection Technician Job Coverage - In-Plant surveys Chemistry Technician Control Room/Dose Assessment 6
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 The following Condition Reports, which will be initiated upon approval of the OSSA, were initiated to confirm current practices:
OOxxxxxx - As a result of Revision 1 of the On Shift Staffing Analysis, the following procedures need revised. AP 15C-003 and applicable EMGs/OFNs/ALRs need revised to state that chemistry samples will not be collected following an emergency
_classification declaration until the TSC is staffed (90 minutes). The chemistry technician on-shift will be in the control room performing dose calcs and will be unable to collect samples until the TSC is staffed. The request for a sample may be communicated to the chemistry technician in the control room at any time. The control room chemistry technician would then be responsible for communicating this request to the augmenting chemistry technician upon their arrival at the technical support center.
OOxxxxxx - As a result of Revision 1 of the On Shift Staffing Analysis, the following procedures need revised. AP 15C-003 and EPP 06-001 need to be revised to allow the RP technician to go to the control room when an emergency classification declaration is announced to perform habitability and to set up the access control entrance and exit of the control room. Following those activities, the RP tech is to communicate with the SM that habitability has been performed and the access control station has been set up prior to leaving the CR to return to Access Control area.
The responses to these CRs will be included in the bases package for the OSSA re-analysis.
Details:
The NRC amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization," to address concerns regarding the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift emergency response organization (ERO) personnel that would potentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergency plan functions. Licensees must have enough on-shift staff to perform specified tasks in various functional areas of emergency response. All shifts must have the capability to perform these emergency functions 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day, 7 days a week, to minimize the impact of radiological emergencies and to provide for the protection of public health and safety. Events identified for analysis are listed in Appendix A.
The OSSA (Phase II of NEI 10-05) was conducted using NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities."
The analysis was conducted in three steps:
- Identification of events for analysis
- Determination of minimum shift staffing complement
- Tabletop analysis of the on-shift staffing resources required for response to the identified events.
Revision O of the OSSA Report was completed on December 12, 2012. Quick Hit QH-2017-1438, "Assessment of Chemistry and HP use within the On-Shift Staffing Analysis," was initiated on February 27, 2017 to determine if the number of chemistry and RP personnel required to be on shift could be reduced. This reanalysis also evaluated if the emergency notification system communicator (ENS) and the off-site communicator (OSC) could be 7
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 combined into one position with one person fulfilling the position. The QH concluded that the OSSA should be re-performed demonstrate that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent timely performance of their assigned functions as a result of staffing adjustments. Condition Report 111422 was initiated on 3/6/2017 to re-perform the OSSA. The OSSA has been re-analyzed with Revision 1 being completed 12/5/2017.
The minimum shift staffing complement for the OSSA re-analysis was determined from the Operations Watch Bill. Each position was given a unique designator for inclusion in the analysis tables.

Fire Brigade composition:
Nuclear Station Operator #4 - Fire Brigade Leader Nuclear Station Operator #5 - Fire Brigade Member Nuclear Station Operator #6 - Fire Brigade Member Nuclear Station Operator #7 - Fire Brigade Member Nuclear Station Operator #8 - Fire Brigade Member Using the guidance in NEI 10-05, the team re-performed a tabletop review of on-shift actions in response to those events identified in Appendix A. This review included the identification of needed resources and the time required to complete identified actions until augmentation of the on-shift ERO. Each event was analyzed separately and documented in the applicable event analysis tables.
8
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 The reanalysis was conducted by first reviewing the event described in Appendix A. This review provided the team with a basic understanding of the event and resulting emergency classification. The team reviewed emergency, off-normal and other operating procedure actions and identified the on-shift person responsible for performing each action. Specific resources needed to perform initial event response actions were identified from the procedures and documented as per the guidance in NEI 10-05.
The team determined when other on-shift resources would be required and identified the time required to perform expected emergency plan functions. Times were determined based on Time Critical Action/Time Sensitive Action documentation. This information was documented on the applicable tables identified in NEI 10-05.
The Emergency Plan functions for the event were reviewed and assigned to the on-shift resource responsible for performance of the identified function and documented as per NEI 10-
- 05. Finally, the on-shift resources and their actions were summarized in a table (NEI 10-05 Table 1), with conflicts requiring additional analysis identified as per NEI 10-05.
NEl-10-05 presents certain assumptions and limitations to be used during the analysis. The team used these assumptions and limitations in this re-analyses.
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Assumptions (NEI 10-05)
- 1. Unless otherwise specified by initial conditions, it is assumed that the site is in Mode 1, Power Operations and operating at 100% power:
- 2. The event being analyzed occurs during off-normal work hours at a time when most ERO responders are not on site. Per AP 06-002, Radiological Emergency Response Plan, Attachment D, WCGS Minimum Staffing for Emergencies, augmentation for RP Technicians, Chemistry Technicians and Communicators is expected within 90 minutes.
For the purposes of this analysis -90 minutes was used as the time period for the conduct of on-shift ERO response actions.
- 3. The on-shift complement is limited to the minimum required number and composition as described in the Emergency Plan/Operations Watch Bill.
- 4. All on-shift positions are filled.
- 5. The DBT assumes a HOSTILE FORCE breached the Protected Area Fence but was neutralized with no adverse consequences to plant safety.
- 6. On-shift personnel can report to their assigned locations within time frames to allow for performance of assigned actions.
- 7. However, the DBT analysis must account for expected constraints on the movement of personnel.
- 8. The on-shift staff possesses the necessary Radiation Worker qualifications to obtain normal dosimetry and to enter Radiologically Controlled Areas (not high, locked high or very high radiation areas) without the aid of RP Technicians.
9
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1
- 9. Operations personnel are qualified per regulation. Any "safety-related operator action" will be done by a member of the on-shift staff.
- 10. Fire Brigade actions will not be evaluated as part of this assessment UNLESS a role/function/task from another major response area is assigned as a collateral duty.
- 11. RP and Chemistry Technicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected by their position.
- 12. Security actions will not be evaluated UNLESS a role/function/task from another major response area is assigned as a collateral duty.
- 13. Simple and brief communications are acceptable collateral duties (i.e., plant page announcement/call for offsite assistance). This DOES NOT include initial notifications to Off-site Response Organization or NRC.
- 14. Performing a peer check is an acceptable collateral duty.
Site- Specific On-Shift Staffing Analysis Assumptions
- Scenarios #2 through #8 and #11 have concurrent loss of offsite power.
- Loss of offsite power renders the normal control access point non-functional. However, fast access dosimetry is maintained available for emergency situations.
- Fire Brigade is a collateral duty for 5 NSO's.
- First Aid and Rescue is a collateral duty provided by Fire Brigade and Security.
- Procedures require dose assessment and habitability for any classification of Alert or higher (EPP 06-001).
- OFN KC-016 Operator required for Appendix R commitments (License Amendment
- 191 12/16/2012) and cannot be assigned other functions (TRM 5.2.1 ).

13
Analysis 1 Design Basis Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event #1 Narrative Design Basis Threat This is a scenario as categorized by the NRC, which is outside the scope of the classical design basis accidents as defined by the USAR.
NEI 10-05 rev O (6/11 ), "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," describes the event as:
Land and/or waterborne HOSTILE ACTION directed against the Protected Area by a HOSTILE FORCE. Assume adversary characteristics defined by the Design Basis Threat (DBT).
For this analysis, the design basis threat, per NEI 10-05, § 3.1, assumptions 5 and 7 states:
With respect to the DBT staffing analysis, it may be assumed that a HOSTILE FORCE breached the Protected Area fence but was neutralized with no adverse consequences to plant safety. Damage inflicted on plant systems, structures and components is not sufficient to prevent safe shutdown or cause a radiological release. There is no fire significant enough to warrant firefighting efforts prior to the arrival of offsite resources and/or the augmented ERO. The analysis should confirm that sufficient staff is available to simultaneously implement both the emergency plan and the security plan.
.. .the analysis of the DBT event must account for the expected constraints on the movement of personnel (e.g., movement not allowed, limited movement using the 2-person rule, etc.). Specifically, individuals must usually be in, or readily able to respond to, assigned response locations before being credited with performing a function/task that implements the emergency plan. The inability of an individual to reach their assigned response location may introduce a collateral duty assignment to another individual.
Operator actions start with procedure OFN SK-039, "Security Event."
OFN SK-039:
Step #1 has operator check for a credible threat. The normal path is followed; the protected area fence has been breached. (SM)
Steps #2 and #3 have operator contact the NRC to relay information on the threat. (Abbreviated NRC notification per NEI 10-05 Table 5). (SMINS0#112)
Step #4 has operator check on the nature of the threat (airborne or non-airborne-based). The normal path is followed; this is a non-airborne threat. (SM)
The operator goes to Attachment A, "Response to a Specific Credible Threat," while continuing with this procedure.
14
Analysis 1 Design Basis Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Attachment A: Response to a Hostile Action:
Step #A.1 has the operator trip the reactor and proceed procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection," while continuing with this procedure. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #A.2 has the operator start EDGs. (R0#2)
Step #A.3 has an operator place the control room in CRVIS lineup. Since the attack is assumed to have been neutralized with no adverse consequences to plant safety, the operator has sufficient time to perform the CRVIS lineup, using procedure GK-122, "Manual CRVIS Line-Up."
(R0#2)
Step #A.4 has an operator manually actuating CPIS if a containment purge is in progress or any containment purge dampers are open. (R0#2)
Step #A.5 has an operator starting the motor driven fire pump or diesel driven fire pump.
(R0#2)
Step #A.6 has an operator secure any surveillance or maintenance activities in progress.
(R0#2/SM)
Step #A. 7 has an operator returning safety related equipment that can be controlled from the control room to an operable status. (R0#2)
Step #A.8 has an operator checking to maximize makeup water sources and systems and ensure that all tanks are at their maximum level. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Steps #A.9 and A.10 discusses actions during a refueling outage or spent fuel handling. The plant is assumed be at full power at the start of this event, so these steps are skipped.
Step #A. 11 has operators commencing RCS cooldown to cold shutdown as soon as possible per applicable procedure once EMG ES-02, "Reactor Trip Response" is complete. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #A.12 has the operator return to the main procedure.
OFN SK-039: (cont.)
Step #5 checks for a bomb threat or sabotage. The normal path is that this is not the cause of the event. The normal path is followed, due to the NEI 10-05 assumptions stated earlier.
Step #6 has an operator provide "hostile action" and "take cover" announcements via the plant's telephone paging system. The plant's gai-tronics system is used if the telephone paging system doesn't work. (SM)
Step #7 ensures the Shift Manager determines emergency classification level. (STA/NS0#1/2)
Step #8 coordinates personnel movements with security shift lieutenant or incident commander.
(SM) 15
Analysis 1 Design Basis Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #9 direct operations crew, chemistry technician, and RP technician to report to the control room. (SM)
Step #10 checks all personnel expected to safely reach control room and ensure missile door is secured. (SM)
Step #11 has personnel dispatched through the CAS to locations as follows:
- One RO or NSO to the NB switchgear room. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Finally, after the RO or NSO leave for the NB switchgear room, an operator needs to ensure the control room back stairway door has the "ultra-dog" installed. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #12 has an operator start the "A" and "B" emergency diesel generators. The RNO path for this step has the RO or NSO at the NB switchgear room directed to start the EDGs using procedure OFN KJ-032, "Local Emergency Diesel Startup." For this scenario, the EDGs are assumed to need manual starting, so the RNO path is followed. (R0#1)
OFN KJ-032:
An operator attempts to start both diesel generators locally. The procedure outlines manual operations to try to start emergency diesel generator A using a mallet switch, then by trying a local start pushbutton, then by trying an air start valve. A similar progression of actions is followed to start emergency diesel generator B. For this analysis, it's assumed that both emergency diesel generators do finally start. The operator returns to procedure OFN SK-039, Step #11. (R0#2 or NS0#6)
OFN SK-039: (cont.)
Step #13 directs the CAS personnel to place the Aux Shutdown panel door in locked mode.
(CRS)
Step #14 directs an over-ride of all power block elevators, by placing key switches in the SM office to the ON position. (CRS)
Step #15 directs coordinating with security shift lieutenant to determine if two person rule should be implemented. (CRS)
Step #16 has an operator monitor progress of the intrusion on the control room radio. The normal path assumes that the breach of the control room is not imminent, which is consistent with the scenario assumptions in NEI 10-05. (NS0#4)
On-site E-Plan announcements directing personnel to report to their emergency response positions are deferred until the hostile action has been terminated. (NS0#1/2)
Step #17 increases awareness of control board indicators to assess plant stability and safety system status. (CRS/R0#1) 16
Analysis 1 Design Basis Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #18 is a check to see that the security event is terminated. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #18. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #19 is a check to determine if announcement to take cover has been made. (CRS)
Step #20 makes announcement over telephone page system that the security event has been terminated. (CRS)
Step #21 informs local, county, state, federal agencies of event status, as necessary.
(NS0#112)
Step #22 makes any required E-Plan announcements. (NS0#112)
Step #23 ensures notifications for accountability to security is complete. (NS0#112)
EMG E-0:
For operator checks and actions from step #1 through step #4, this assessment does not assume additional "RNO" events occurred, since they are outside the scope of the scenario as defined by NEI 10-05.
Steps #1 - #4 identify manual operations, but no local operations and no explicit radiological hazards are listed. The intruders are assumed be neutralized at PAB fence with no adverse consequences to plant safety, so these steps are skipped. No safety injection actuated.
EMG ES-02: (All steps performed by remaining 2 operators in the Control room are to place the plant in a stable condition.) Completion of these actions expected to occur beyond the first 90 minutes of the event Step #1 checks RCS temperature control. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #2 checks RCS cold leg temperature. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #3 checks main generator breakers and exciter breaker OPEN. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #4 checks feedwater status. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #5 evaluates service water/essential service water status. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #6 verifies instrument air compressor is running. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #7 verifies instrument air to containment. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #8 checks charging pumps, at least one running. (CRSIR0#1)
Step #9 verifies charging system aligned for normal injection. (CRSIR0#1) 17

Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event #2 Narrative Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults." USAR § 15.1.5.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
The steam release arising from a rupture of a main steam line would result in an initial increase in steam flow* that decreases during the accident as the steam generator pressure decreases.
The energy removal from the RCS causes a reduction of coolant temperature and pressure. In the presence of a negative moderator temperature coefficient, the coo/down results in an insertion of positive reactivity. If the most reactive RCCA is assumed stuck in its fully withdrawn position after reactor trip, there is [a] possibility that the core will become critical and return to power. A return to power following a steam line rupture is a potential problem mainly because of the high power peaking factors which exist, assuming the most reactive RCCA to be stuck in its fully withdrawn position. The core is ultimately shut down by the boric acid solution delivered by the emergency core cooling system.
A detailed discussion of potential accidents in this category, including analytical methods used and the scenario consequences expected, can be found in USAR § 15.1.5, "Steam System Piping Failure," and are diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-10, "Depressurization of Main Steam System."
An analysis performed by the WCGS staff has concluded that the most serious consequences occur for:
.. .the largest double-ended steamline rupture at end-of-life, hot zero-power (Mode 2) conditions, with the most reactive RCCA in the fully withdrawn position, bounds all other power levels and other Modes for the post-trip phase of the transient.
Which signals cause the reactor trip depends on the location of the rupture, as outlined in USAR
§ 15.1.5.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description."
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, identifies the above as an EAL-4 /
BASES-4, "Main Steam Line Break." MSLB-13 (main steam line broken) would classify the event as no worse than a Notification of Unusual Event. However, there is a potential for one category of piping failure to vent outside of containment. Assuming a 1 gpm leak rate from the primary to secondary cooling system, noble gas inventory (equivalent to 1% failed fuel and a pre-accident iodine spike as described in USAR § 15.1.5.2, "Analysis of Effects and Consequences":
- a. End-of-life shutdown margin at no-load, equilibrium xenon conditions, and the most reactive RCCA stuck in its fully withdrawn position. Operation of the control rod banks during each operating cycle is restricted by the insertion limits so that addition 27
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 of positive reactivity in a steam line break accident will not lead to a more adverse condition than the case analyzed.
- b. A negative moderator coefficient corresponding to the end-of-life rodded core with the most reactive RCCA in the fully withdrawn position.
- c. Minimum capability for injection of boron solution corresponding to the most restrictive single failure in the safety injection system.
- d. The following cases have been considered in determining the core power and RCS transients:
- 1. Complete severance of a pipe, with the plant initially at no-load conditions, full reactor coolant flow with offsite power available.
- 2. Case with Joss of offsite power simultaneous with the steam line break, which causes initiation of the safety injection signal. Loss of offsite power results in reactor coolant pump coast down.
e Power peaking factors corresponding to one stuck RCCA and non-uniform core inlet coolant temperatures are determined at end of core life. The coldest core inlet temperatures are assumed to occur in the sector with the stuck rod. The power peaking factors account for the effect of the local void in the region of the stuck RCCA during the return to power phase following the steam line break.
Given the above assumptions and conditions and USAR § 15.1.5.3.2, "Identification of Uncertainties and Conservatisms in the Analysis," the sequence as described in USAR § 15.1.5.3.1.1, "Physical Model," involves:
The radiological consequences of a MSLB inside the containment are Jess severe than the one outside the containment because the radioactivity released will be held up inside the containment, allowing decay and plate out of the radionuclides. To evaluate the radiological consequences due to a postulated MSLB outside the containment, it is assumed that there is a complete severance of a main steam line outside the containment.
It is also assumed that there is a simultaneous loss of offsite power, resulting in reactor coolant pump coast down. The safety injection system is actuated and the reactor trips.
The main steam line isolation valves, their bypass valves, and the steam line drain valves isolate the steam generators and the main steam lines upon a signal initiated by the engineered safety features actuation system under the conditions of high steam negative pressure rate or low steam line pressure. The main steam isolation valves are installed in the main steam lines from each steam generator downstream from the safety and atmospheric relief valves outside the containment. The break in the main steam line is assumed to occur outside of the containment. The affected steam generator (steam 28
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 generator connected to a broken steam line) blows down completely. The steam is vented directly to the atmosphere.
In case of Joss of offsite power, the remaining steam generators are available for dissipation of core decay heat by venting steam to the atmosphere via the atmospheric relief valves. Venting continues until the reactor coolant temperature and pressure have decreased sufficiently so that the RHR system can be utilized to cool the reactor.
As summarized in USAR Tables 15.1-3, "Parameters Used in Evaluating the Radiological Consequences of a Main Steam Line Break," and 15.1-4, "Radiological Consequences of a Main Steam Line Break":
For evaluating the radiological consequences due to a postulated MSLB, the activity released from the affected steam generator (steam generator connected to the broken steam line) is released directly to the environment. The unaffected steam generators are assumed to continually discharge steam and entrained activity via the safety and atmospheric relief valves up to the time initiation of the RHRS can be accomplished.
Since the activity is released directly to the environment with no credit for plateout or retention, the results of the analysis are based on the most direct leakage pathway available. Therefore, the resultant radiological consequences represent the most conservative estimate of the potential integrated dose due to the postulated MSLB.
Referring back to APF 06-002-01, the radiological consequences classify this event as EAL-1 /
BASES-1, "Radioactive Effluent Release." RER-3 (thyroid dose > 500 mrem at the site boundary) escalates the classification to a Site Area Emergency.
The event as diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-10, "Depressurization of Main Steam System,"
is assumed to cause a reactor trip either at hot zero power or hot full power. For this assessment, it is assumed that procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection," was the entry point for operator actions.
EMG E-0:
The procedure starts out with a caution that "Accident conditions can cause higher than normal radiation levels. Radiation protection monitoring may be required while performing local operator actions."
Step #1 verifies reactor trip. (R0#1)
Step #2 verifies turbine trip. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks that at least one of the AC emergency busses is energized. (R0#1)
Step #4 checks if safety injection is actuated. (R0#1)
Step #5 checks if SI is required. (R0#1) 29
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #6 verifies automatic actions using Attachment F, Automatic Signal Verification. (R0#1)
Step #7 checks main generator breakers and exciter breaker open. (R0#2)
Step #8 checks total AFW flow is greater than 270,000 lbm/hr. (R0#2)
Step #9 checks RCS cold leg temperatures. (R0#2)
Step #10 establishes S/G pressure control. (R0#2)
For steps #11 - #13, the normal path is followed. USAR Figure 15.1-22, "Pressurizer Pressure and Pressurizer Liquid Volume SLB Without Offsite Power" shows a rapid drop in volume for the
- first 20 seconds and a rapid drop in pressure for the first 60 seconds, stabilizing at an RCS pressure of approximately 1050 psia and a liquid volume less than 30 ft3
- As noted above, a pressurizer valve failure is outside the scope of this event. (R0#2)
Step #14 follows the normal path. The reactor coolant pumps tripped when the reactor tripped.
(R0#2)
Step #15 .directs the operator to monitor the critical safety functions using EMG F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSFST)", based on "safety injection has not been terminated and no accident condition has been identified". (STA)
EMG F-0: (STA)
USAR Figure 15.1-21, "Normalized Core Power and Normalized Core Heat Flux SLB without Offsite Power" shows that Core Power (fan) climbing from minimal to greater than 5% within 40 seconds after the event, due to positive reactivity insertion via borated moderator in the aftermath of the cooldown of the RCS from the steam line break. This scenario was also described in USAR § 15.1.5.1 "Identification of Causes and Accident Description" as described above. The reactor is going through a re-criticality. This puts the operator into a potential RED PATH via critical safety function status tree F-01, Subcriticality.
The re-criticality causes a jump from EMG F-0 to EMG FR-S1, "Response to Nuclear Power Generation/ATWS."
EMG FR-S1:
Step #1 verifies reactor trip. (R0#1)
Step #2 verifies turbine trip. (R0#2)
Step #3 verifies AFW pumps running. (R0#2)
Step #4 checks main generator breakers and exciter breaker open. (R0#2)
Step #5 checks SI - not in progress. (R0#1) 30
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #6 initiates emergency boration of RCS. (R0#1)
Step #7 verifies charging flow path. (R0#1)
Step #8, checks for emergency borate flow greater than 30 gpm. There is an RNO path to go to this procedure's "Attachment A" jf the RWST flow through the charging system is less than 90 gpm. (R0#1)
R0#1 and NS0#5 will be branched to Att. A. Rest of crew will continue in EMG FR-S1 at step
- 9 proceeding through the procedure using Step #13 as a continuous action to get to step #25 when R0#1 and NS0#5 are successful. The crew may complete all or part of steps #9 - #25 in this time; it depends on how quickly R0#1 and NS0#5 can complete their tasks. Ultimately the crew will arrive at step #25 using the continuous action from step #13 and continue through EMG FR-S1 and back to EMG E-0. It is expected that the CRS and R0#2 will not have progressed beyond step #13 before R0#1 and NS0#5 return from Att. A.
Attachment A, "Establishing Alternate Boration Flowpath," has step #A2, "Open Boric Acid to Boric Acid Blending Tee Valve". The RNO path has an operator locally fail open the valve by isolating the instrument air to the valve and then venting air pressure from the valve. (NS0#5)
Step #A6 verifies that boration flow is greater than 30 gpm. The RNO path has an operator continue with the steps in Attachment A. The normal path reverts back to the procedure mainline at step #9. (R0#1)
Step #A7, "Establish Manual Boration," has a normal path step to locally unlock and open the boric acid* to charging pump suction isolation valve. There is a remark in the basis document that "High dose could exist for local operator actions." The RNO path for this sub-step is to continue to step #AB. (R0#1/NS0#5)
Continuing the sub-steps in step #A7, the normal path is to check for normal boration flow. The RNO path is to jump to step #A9. If both of these sub-steps follow the normal path, the operator reverts back to the procedure mainline at step #9. (R0#2)
Step #AB, "Establish Manual Emergency Boration," has a normal path step to locally open the emergency borate to charging pump suction valve. There is a remark in the basis document that "High dose could exist for local operator actions." If the step is successful, the operator reverts back to the procedure mainline at step #9. The RNO path is to continue to step #A9, which can be bypassed until additional staff arrive beyond the first 90 minutes of the event.
(R0#1/ NS0#5)
Step #A10, "Check if Alternate Boration Flow has been Established," has a normal path to verify flow is greater than 30 gpm and an RNO path to continue efforts to raise the flow rate to that level. (R0#1/NS0#5)
Step #A 11 reverts back to the procedure mainline at step #9.
31
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #9 - #12 follows the normal path (the RNO path assumes additional problems outside the scope of the event). (R0#2)
Step #13 is a check to ensure the reactor is subcritical. Based on the description of this event, the boration action is assumed to eventually succeed in bringing the reactor subcritical, as outlined in USAR Table 15.1-1, "Time Sequence of Events for Incidents That Result in an Increase in Heat Removal by the Secondary System," sheet #2, "Steam System Piping Failure,"
case #2, "concurrent loss of offsite power". The RWST boron solution starts reaching the core in 82 seconds. USAR Figure 15.1-21, "Normalized Core Power and Normalized Core Heat Flux SLB without Offsite Power," shows the power starts decreasing within 120 seconds. Once the reactor has been successfully brought subcritical, the procedure jumps to step #25. (R0#1)
Step #25 is assumed to follow the normal path (the RNO path assumes additional problems outside the scope of this event). (R0#1)
Step #25 has the operator continue boration until adequate shutdown margin is achieved.
(R0#1)
Step #26 is a check on the CROM fans, to keep the CRDMs below 165°F. The RNO path has an operator manually start the fans. (R0#2)
Step #27 reverts back to the procedure EMG E-0, step #16. (CRS)
EMG E-0:
Step #16 checks to see if any (or all) of the steam generators are faulted. Based on USAR Figures 15.1-25, "Normalized Feedwater Flow and Break Flow SLB without Offsite Power," and 15.1-26, "Steamline Pressure and Core Inlet Flow, SLB without Offsite Power," there are sharp differences in the behavior of S/Gs with intact loops vs. faulted loops. Intact loops stabilize pressure; the faulted loop continues to drop pressure. Since there is a double-ended break in a large steam line, this is a failure in the secondary pressure boundary. The procedure has the operator jump to procedure EMG E-2, "Faulted Steam Generator Isolation." (R0#2)
EMG E-2:
EMG E-2, step #1 has the operator check to see if the steam lines on all S/Gs are isolated. This involves ensuring the main steam line valves, bypass valves and low point drain valves are closed. The RNO path has manual operations, but no local operations were identified. (R0#2)
Step #2 has the operator check to see if limitations for fault in Area 5 are required (which will depend on where the break is located). The procedure adds a warning to local operators in the affected area. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #3 checks to see if any S/Gs are not faulted. Based on the scenario for this event, S/Gs that are not connected to the broken main steam line are not faulted. (R0#2) 32
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #4 identifies SIGs that are faulted. The normal path has "any SIG pressures decreasing in an uncontrolled manner OR "any SIG completely depressurized," which is consistent with USAR Figures 15.1-25 and 15.1-26. (R0#2)
Step #5 isolates the faulted SIGs. The normal path involves closing the AFW flow controls to the faulted SIGs. The RNO path has an operator locally isolate the affected lines. The Turbine Driven AFW pump always has the steam supply line locally closed by the operator.
The SIG atmospheric relief valves (ARVs) on the faulted SIGs are checked closed, and the RNO path has an operator locally isolate the affected SIG ARVs. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #6 addresses isolating feedwater lines. The RNO path for this section involves manual closure of valves. If manual closure of valves also fails, then a subsequent RNO path has a dispatch operator isolate valves locally. The valves in question are the main feedwater reg valves, the main feedwater reg bypass valves and the main feedwater chemical injection valves.
(R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #7 covers isolation of blowdown and sampling lines. There is. an RNO path to locally isolate the affected blowdown and/or sampling line(s) for the affected SIGs. (R0#2)
Step #8 discusses situations where the pressurizer PORV opens due to high pressure. For the event described, the RCS pressure drops with the cooldown and the pressurizer empties 18 seconds into the event (see USAR Table 15.1-1, sheet #2, as described above). The event follows the normal path. (R0#1)
Step #9 discusses continued uncontrolled cooldown. The core inlet temperature for the intact loops and the core average temperature start to stabilize after the first 30 seconds of the event.
See USAR Figure 15.1-23, "Core Inlet Temperature and Core Average Temperature SLB Without Offsite Power." The normal path is followed, based on the accident description.
(R0#2)
Step #10 has specific extreme caution statements regarding performing local surveys if the steam lines in Area 5 of the Aux Building are not intact, if there is a need to establish a sampling capability to determine secondary radiation levels. Radiation protection is directed to locally survey the steam lines in this area. Chemistry is directed to sample all SIGs for activity. In this case, per the scenario, no steam generator tubes are ruptured. (R0#2/RP#1/CH)
Step #11, on the RNO path, involves using an operator to locally open the ESW A or B to air compressor, to insure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #12 checks for intact SIG tubes. Based on the scenario, the SIG tubes are intact and the operator follows the normal path. (R0#2/RP#1/CH)
- Step #13 checks if containment spray should be stopped. (R0#2)
Step #14 checks for EGGS flow. The operator follows the normal path and jumps to EMG E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant." (R0#1/R0#2) 33
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Procedure EMG E-1 is entered into after the faulted SIG has been identified and isolated.
EMG E-1:
Step #1 has the RCS pressure checked. In this scenario, the RCS pressure drops below 1400 psi within the first 40 seconds, causing the operator to follow the RNO path and skip to step #2.
See USAR Figure 15.1-22, "Pressurizer Pressure and Pressurizer Liquid Volume SLB Without Offsite Power," top graph, for more details. (R0#1)
The SIGs are specifically checked in step #2. Based on the scenario, the assumption is the operations in the previously executed EMG E-2 procedure, listed above, have already succeeded in isolating the faulted SIG. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Steps #3 - #5 follow the normal path, based on the scenario description. The RNO path would require assuming additional problems with the SIGs beyond the scope of the event.
(R0#1/R0#2)
The caution before step #6 echoes the earlier specific extreme caution statements on performing local surveys if the steam lines in Area 5 of the Aux Building are not intact. Step #6 has radiation protection performing surveys and chemistry performing sampling of all S/Gs for activity. (R0#2/RP#2/CH)
Step #7 continues .the local surveys (in Control Room) to check secondary radiation levels.
This scenario assumes that no SGTR occurred, so operators follow the normal path.
(R0#2/RP#2/CH)
Step #8 involves the pressurizer, which is assumed to be functioning in accordance with the scenario described and USAR Figure 15.1-22, "Pressurizer Pressure and Pressurizer Liquid Volume SLB Without Offsite Power." No stuck PORVs, failed heaters, malfunctioning sprays, etc. are assumed. (R0#1)
Step #9 has the same RNO path discussion on locally opening ESW A or B to air compressor as was described above. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Steps #1 O - #12 do not involve local operations. (R0#1/R0#2)
Step #13 is a check on RCS Pressure. RCS pressure and pressurizer level are stable after the first 100 seconds, based on USAR Figure 15.1-22. The normal path is followed. (R0#2)
Step #14 is a check on RCS and SIG pressures. (R0#2)
Step #15 discusses availability of offsite power. In this case, the assumption is there is no offsite power, so the RNO path is followed. (R0#2)
Step #16 has local operations to reset and close the boric acid transfer pump breakers and the emergency borate valve breaker. (NS0#5/NS0#6) 34
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #17 (R0#2) and #18 (R0#2/NS0#3) involve closing battery charger breakers and checking busses and load centers energized by offsite power. The event assumes there is no onsite power available. Step #18's RNO path is followed.
Step #19 (place hydrogen analyzers in service) has no local operations identified. This event does not assume core damage beyond the 1% failed fuel, noble gas release and iodine spike as described earlier. (R0#1)
Step #20 involves verifying the Cold Leg Recirculation Capacity, but this accident doesn't assume a LOCA. The normal path is followed. (R0#2)
Step #21 checks the fuel/auxiliary building radiation levels to assure there is no primary leakage into the aux building. This accident does not assume primary leakage beyond the 1 gpm primary to secondary rate as was described earlier. The normal path is followed, which includes directing radiation protection to survey the fuel and aux buildings. (R0#2/RP#2)
Step #22 requests chemistry obtain boron and activity samples for the RCS and pressurizer liquid space. Since this scenario assumes that a re-criticality requiring boration occurred, this step is assumed to have been followed. (RP#2/CH)
Step #23 evaluates plant status. The event does not assume additional malfunctions, so the normal path is followed. (SM/CRS)
Step #24 has the RCS pressure > 325 psig per USAR Figure 15.1-22. This triggers a move to procedure EMG ES-11, "Post LOCA Cooldowns and Depressurization", since the RCS pressure is greater than the shutoff head pressure of the RHR pumps. (Note that the initiating event here is a steamline break causing loss of secondary coolant, not a LOCA on the primary side).
(R0#1)
Continuing with EMG ES-11, step #1:
EMG ES-11:
Steps #1 and #2 reset the SI and Containment Isolation Phase A and B. (R0#1/R0#2)
Step #3 and 4 has an RNO path to locally open ESW A or ESW B to the Air Compressor, reset and close breaker reset switches, and dispatch an operator to reset alarms and restart compressors. There are also actions to locally open the instrument air supply containment isolation valve. This is the same RNO path discussion on locally opening ESW A or B to air compressor, as was described in procedure EMG E-2, above .. (R0#2)
Step #5 checks on whether the diesel generators should be shut off. The scenario assumes a loss of offsite power, so the emergency diesel generators need to keep running. Follow the RNO path. (R0#2)
Step #6 is an alignment of the pressurizer heaters. (R0#1) 35
Analysis 2 Steam System Piping Failure (Major)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #7 requires local reset and close of the boric acid transfer pump breakers and the emergency borate valve breaker. (R0#2)
Step #8 is to close the Non-Class 1E battery charger breakers, to re-energize equipment.
(R0#2)
Step #9 - This event assumes loss of offsite power, so the RNO path is taken for Site Watch to start the TSC diesel using procedure STN KAT-001, "Technical Support Diesel Generator Operation." (R0#2)
STN KAT-001:
Operator locally performs the prerequisite checks listed in§ 7, "Prerequisites." (NS0#3)
Operator locally performs § 8.1.1, "Testing Installed TSC Diesel Generator," OR § 8.2.1, "Testing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator." (NS0#3)
- Operator locally performs § 8.1.2, "Placing TSC Diesel Generator In-service," OR § 8.2.2, "Placing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator In-service." (NS0#3)
Note that if the TSC Diesel Generator runs for more than an hour, refer to Attachment B, "TSC Diesel Generator Reading", or if applicable, Attachment C, "TSC Temporary Diesel Generator Readings," for hourly checks on the diesel generator in question. (NS0#3)
EMG ES-11 (continued):
Step #10 checks if RHR pumps are running. The RCS pressure is > 325 psig (see discussion, above), so the pumps should not be running. (However, later they will need to be started manually per the basis document). The operator continues to step #10. (R0#2)
Step #11 checks for intact SIG levels. The intact SIGs are expected to behave normally, per the event description. The faulted SIG should have been resolved earlier in this procedure. None of the SIGs has a tube rupture. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #12 - Check if condenser air removal should be returned to normal. In this case, we had a steamline break with isolation, and loss of offsite power. The condenser is assumed unavailable, so the operator follows the RNO path and continues to step #12. (R0#2)
Step #13 checks for blocking safety injection signals. The RCS pressure drops below 1970 psig within 15 seconds of the event and continues rapidly dropping to approximately 1150 psig within 80 seconds of the event, as shown in USAR Figure 15.1-22, top graph. The normal path is followed. (R0#1) 36

Step #14 Initiates RCS cooldown to cold shutdown: The initial cooldown of approximately 150
~F occurs in the first 30 seconds of the event, as shown in USAR Figure 15.1-23. The steam dump occurs using the intact SIG ARVs, given the loss of offsite power. (CRS/R0#2)
EMG FR-S1: (continued)
Step #A9, "Locally Check Boric Acid Filter LiP - Less than 20 psid," has a normal path step to check pressure differential on the boric acid filter, and an RNO path to conduct a series of valve manipulations, with maintenance to change boric acid filter ASAP. There is a remark in the basis document that "High dose could exist for local operator actions."
The operators continue along the termination path listed in procedure EMG ES-11 until reactor is in stable cold shutdown.

Analysis 3 Feedwater System Piping Break On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #3 Feedwater System Piping Break This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults". USAR § 15.2.8.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
A major feedwater line rupture is defined as a break in a feedwater line large enough to prevent the addition of sufficient feedwater to the steam generators to maintain shell side fluid inventory in the steam generators. If the break is postulated in a feedwater line between the check valve and the steam generator, fluid from the steam generator may also be discharged through the break. Further, a break in this location could preclude the subsequent addition of auxiliary feedwater to the affected steam generator. (A break upstream of the feedwater line check valve would affect the NSSS only as a loss of feedwater) ...
Depending upon the size of the break and the plant operating conditions at the time of the break, the break could cause either an RCS coo/down (by excessive energy discharge through the break) or an RCS heatup. Potential RCS coo/down resulting from a secondary pipe rupture is evaluated in Section 15.1.5 [as described above].
Therefore, only the RCS heatup effects are evaluated for a feedwater line rupture ...
The main feedwater control system is assumed to fail due to an adverse environment, The water levels in all steam generators are assumed to decrease equally until the low-low steam generator level reactor trip setpoint is reached. After reactor trip, a double-ended rupture of the largest feedwater line is assumed. These assumptions conservatively bound the most limiting feedwater line rupture that can occur. Analyses have been performed at full power, with and without loss of offsite power, and with no credit taken for the pressurizer power-operated relief valves. For the case without offsite power available, the power is assumed to be lost at the time of reactor trip. This is more conservative than the case where power is lost at the initiation of the event.
A detailed discussion of possible accidents in this category, analytical methods used and consequences assessed can be found in USAR § 15.2.8, "Steam System Piping Failure," and are diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-14, "Major Rupture of a Main Feedwater Line."
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, classifies the above as EAL-4 / BASES-4, "Main Steam Line Break." MSLB-6 (faulted steam generator and can't isolate the line) would classify the event as an Alert.
The event as diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-14 is assumed to generate a reactor trip from full power. For this assessment, it is assumed that procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection" was the entry point for operator actions. EMG E-0 is followed through step #16, when a jump to procedure EMG E-2, "Faulted Steam Generator Isolation," occurs. Other paths (e.g.,
EMG E-2, § 2, "Symptoms or Entry Conditions") are available; most of those listed assume an actual steam generator tube rupture occurred, or assume that all of the steam generators are uncontrollably losing pressure. EMG E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant," was also 46
Analysis 3 Feedwater System Piping Break On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 reviewed. In step #2 of EMG E-1, the RNO path sends the operator to EMG E-2 if the faulted feedline cannot be isolated.
EMG E-0:
For operator checks and actions from step #1 through step #16, this assessment does not assume additional "RNO" events occurred which are outside the scope of the USAR description (e.g., an ATWS, an un-trippable turbine, etc.).
- As noted in a CAUTION box near the beginning of EMG E-0, "Abnormal conditions can cause higher than normal radiation levels. Health Physics monitoring may be required while performing local operator actions."
Steps #1 - #7 identify manual operations, but no local operations and no explicit radiological hazards are listed. For some steps, if a manual closure of valves also fails, then a subsequent RNO path step has valves operated locally. (NS0#112 depending on step and location.)
Step #1 verifies reactor trip. (R0#1)
Step #2 verifies turbine trip. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks AC emergency busses - at least one energized. (R0#1)
Step #4 checks if safety injection is actuated. (R0#1)
Step #5 checks if SI is required. (R0#1)
Step #6 verifies automatic actions using Attachment F, Automatic Signal Verification. (R0#1)
Step #7 checks main generator breakers and exciter breaker - open. (R0#2)
Step #8 checks total AFW flow >270,000 lbm/hr. The RNO path for this event involves manual operations described in Attachment F, "Automatic Signal Verification". Control manipulations are identified, with the RNO paths to attempt to manually close specified valves. (R0#2)
Steps #9 and #10 checks RCS cold leg temperatures and establish steam generator (SG) pressure control. There are no specific instructions requiring local operator actions. (R0#2)
For steps #11 - #13, the normal path is followed .. USAR Figure 15.1-22, "Pressurizer Pressure and Pressurizer Liquid Volume SLB Without Offsite Power," shows a rapid drop in volume for the first 20 seconds and a rapid drop in pressure for the first 60 seconds, stabilizing at an RCS pressure of approximately 1050 psia and a liquid volume less than 30 ft3
- As noted above, a pressurizer valve failure is outside the scope of this event. (R0#2)
Step #14 follows the normal path. The reactor coolant pumps tripped when the reactor tripped.
(R0#2) 47
Analysis 3 Feedwater System Piping Break On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #15 directs an operator to monitor Critical Safety Functions using EMG F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees." (STA)
Step #16 checks to see if "S/Gs Are Not Faulted." The RNO path (which reflects this narrative) sends the operator to EMG E-2, "Faulted Steam Generator Isolation," step #1. (R0#2)
EMG E-2:
Step #1 has the operator check to see if the steam lines on all S/Gs are isolated. This involves ensuring the main steam line valves, bypass valves and low point drain valves are closed. The RNO path has manual operations, but no local operations were identified. (R0#2)
Step #2 has the operator check to see if limitations for fault in Area 5 are required (which will depend on where the break is located). The procedure adds a warning to local operators in the affected area. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #3 checks to see if any S/Gs are not faulted. Based on the scenario for this event, S/Gs that are not connected to the broken main steam line are not faulted. (R0#2)
Step #4 identifies S/Gs that are faulted. The normal path has "any SIG pressures decreasing in an uncontrolled manner" OR "any SIG completely depressurized", which is consistent with USAR Figures 15.1-25 and 15.1-26. (R0#2)
Step #5 isolates the faulted S/Gs. The normal path involves closing the AFW flow controls to the faulted S/Gs. The RNO path has an operator locally isolate the affected lines. The Turbine Driven AFW pump always has the steam supply line locally closed by the operator. The SIG atmospheric relief valves (ARVs) on the faulted S/Gs are checked closed, and the RNO path has an operator locally isolate the affected SIG ARVs. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #6 addresses isolating feedwater lines. The RNO path for this section involves manual closure of valves. If manual closure of valves also fails, then a subsequent RNO path has a dispatch operator isolate valves locally. The valves in question are the main feedwater reg valves, the main feedwater reg bypass valves and the main feedwater chemical injection valves.
(R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #7 covers isolation of blowdown and sampling lines. There is an RNO path to locally isolate the affected blowdown and/or sampling line(s) for the affected S/Gs. (R0#2)
Step #8 discusses situations where the pressurizer PORV opens due to high pressure. For the event described, the RCS pressure drops with the cooldown and the pressurizer empties 18 seconds into the event (see USAR Table 15.1-1, sheet #2, as described above). The event follows the normal path. (R0#1)
Step #9 discusses continued uncontrolled cooldown. The core inlet temperature for the intact loops and the core average temperature start to stabilize after the first 30 seconds of the event.
See USAR Figure 15.1-23, "Core Inlet Temperature and Core Average Temperature SLB 48
Analysis 3 Feedwater System Piping Break On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Without Offsite Power". The normal path is followed, based on the accident description.
(R0#2)
Step #10 has specific extreme caution statements regarding performing local surveys if the steam lines in Area 5 of the Aux Building are not intact, if there is a need to establish a sampling capability to determine secondary radiation levels. Radiation protection is directed to locally survey the steam lines in this area. Chemistry is directed to sample all SIGs for activity. In this case, per the scenario no steam generator tubes are ruptured. (R0#2/RP#1/RP#2/CH)
Step #11, on the RNO path, involves using an operator to locally open the ESW A or B to air compressor, to insure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #12 checks for intact SIG tubes. Based on the scenario, the SIG tubes are intact and the operator follows the normal path. (R0#2/RP#2/CH)
Step #13 checks if containment spray should be stopped. (R0#2)
Step #14 checks for ECCS flow. The operator follows the normal path and jumps to procedure EMG E-1 or EMG ES-03. (R0#1/R0#2)
EMG ES-03:
Neither the normal path steps nor the RNO steps appear to cause local operator issues to "be in play" unless other complications outside the scope of the narrative occur. Steps #14, "Control Charging Flow to Maintain PZR Level Greater than 6% [33%]" and #15, "Check if SI Pumps Should be Stopped" have specific RNO "do not continue" commentary based on faulted SIGs.
(R0#1/R0#2/NS0#3/NS0#5/NS0#6)
EMG E-1:
Procedure EMG E-1 is entered into after the faulted SIG has been identified and isolated, as noted in "Symptom or Entry Conditions" item #2.5. The SIGs are specifically checked in step
- 2, where the jump to the previously discussed EMG E-2 occurs.
Steps #1 R0#1/R0#2 The caution box before step #6 has the same specific extreme caution statements regarding performing local surveys if the steamlines in Area 5 of the Aux Building are not intact as were identified earlier. Step #6 has health physics performing surveys in this area and chemistry sampling all SIGs for activity. (R0#2/RP#1/RP#2/CH)
Step #7 continues to check for radiation affecting the secondary side of the coolant system.
(R0#2)
Step #8 involves checking the pressurizer PORVs and block valves. The normal path is followed. (R0#1/NS0#1/2) 49
Analysis 3 Feedwater System Piping Break On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision .1 Step #9 has the same RNO path discussion on locally opening ESW A or B to air compressor, as noted above. (R0#1/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #10 verifies instrument air to containment. (R0#1)
At step #11, for this scenario (feedwater break without additional complications outside the scope of the analyzed design basis event}, the operator jumps to procedure EMG ES-03, "SI Termination," Step #1. (R0#1/R0#2)
EMG ES-03:
Steps #1/2 reset ESFAS signals to allow for component repositioning. (CRS/R0#1)
Steps #3/4 establish Instrument Air-and aligns it to Containment. (CRS/R0#2)
Steps #5/6/7 reduces charging flow rates to 1 CCP (CRS/R0#1)
Steps #8/9/10 establish CCW flow to Containment (CRS/R0#2)
Steps #11- 15 Establish normal charging and secure BIT Flow (CRS/R0#1)
Steps #16-18 Secures remaining ECCS Pumps and determine if SI is still not needed.
(CRS/R0#2)
Termination path (expected actions are beyond the firsf 90 minutes of the event):
The longer-term closure to this event is assumed to involve completion of procedure EMG ES-03, "SI Termination".
If a LOCA should occur during the termination path, the procedure EMG ES-11, "Post-LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization" may be invoked.

Analysis 4 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #4 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults.,".,. USAR § 15.3.3.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
The accident postulated is an instantaneous seizure of a reactor coolant pump rotor, as discussed in Section 5.4. Flow through the affected reactor coolant loop is rapidly reduced, leading to an initiation of a reactor trip on a low flow signal.
Following initiation of the reactor trip, heat stored in the fuel rods continues to be transferred to the coolant, causing the coolant to expand. At the same time, heat transfer to the shell side of the steam generators is reduced - first, because the reduced flow results in a decreased tube side film coefficient, and then, because the reactor coolant in the tubes cools down while the shell side temperature increases (turbine steam flow is reduced to zero upon plant trip). The rapid expansion of the coolant in the reactor core, combined with reduced heat transfer in the steam generators, causes an insurge into the pressurizer and a pressure increase throughout the RCS. The insurge into the pressurizer compresses the steam volume, actuates the automatic spray system, opens the power-operated relief valves, and opens the pressurizer safety valves, in that sequence. The two power-operated relief valves are designed for reliable operation, and would be expected to function properly during the accident. However, for conservatism, their pressure-reducing effect, as well as the pressure-reducing effect of the spray, are not included in the analysis.
A detailed discussion of possible accidents in this category, analytical methods used, and consequence analysis can be found in USAR § 15.3.3, "Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor) and are diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-15, "Loss of Forced Reactor Coolant Flow."
The USAR § 15.3.3.2, "Analysis of Effects and Consequences," elaborates on the conditions assumed for the accident:
At the beginning of the postulated locked rotor accident, i.e., at the time the shaft in one of the reactor coolant pumps is assumed to seize, the plant is assumed to be in operation under the most adverse steady state operating conditions, i.e., maximum guaranteed steady state thermal power, maximum steady state pressure, and maximum steady state coolant average temperature. Plant characteristics and initial conditions are further discussed in Section 15. 0. 3.
For the peak pressure evaluation, the initial pressure is conservatively set at 30 psi above nominal pressure (2,250 psia) to allow for errors in the pressurizer pressure measurement and control channels. This is done to obtain the highest possible rise in the coolant pressure during the transient. To obtain the maximum pressure in the primary side, conservatively high loop pressure drops are added to the calculated pressurizer pressure.

Analysis 4 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 USAR Tables 15.3-1, "Time Sequence of Events for Incidents Which Result in a Decrease in Reactor Coolant System Flow Rate," and 15.3-2, "Summary of Results for Locked Rotor Transients," outline the accident sequence.
USAR § 15.3.3.3, "Radiological Consequences," assesses:
The instantaneous seizure of a reactor coolant pump rotor results in a reactor trip on a low coolant flow signal. With the coincident Joss of offsite power, the condensers are not available, so the excess heat is removed from the secondary system by a steam dump through the steam generator safety and atmospheric relief valves. Steam generator tube leakage is assumed to continue until the pressures in the reactor coolant and secondary systems are equalized. The reactor coolant will contain the gap activities of the fraction of the fuel which undergoes DNB in addition to its assumed equilibrium activity.
More specifically, as described in USAR § 15.3.3.3.1.2, "Assumptions and Conditions":
- Offsite power is Jost.
- Following the incident, secondary steam is released to the environment for heat removal.
The total quantity of steam released is given in Table 15.3-3.
- Primary-to-secondary leakage continues after the accident for a period of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. At that time, reactor coolant and secondary system pressures are equalized. Until the pressure equalizes, the leakage rate is assumed to be constant and equal to the rate existing prior to the incident of 1 gpm (500 lbs/hr).
- Fission products released from the fuel-cladding gap of the damaged fuel rods are assumed to be instantaneously and homogeneously mixed with the reactor coolant.
- The noble gas activity released is equal to the amount present in the reactor coolant, which leaks into the secondary system after the accident.
- The iodine activity present in the primary to secondary leakage is assumed to mix homogeneously with the iodine activity initially present in the steam generators.
- A partition factor of 0. 01 between the vapor and liquid phases for radioiodine in the steam generators is utilized to determine iodine releases to the environment via steam venting from the steam generators.
- The activity released from the steam generators is immediately vented to the environment.
The radiological source term is summarized in USAR Tables 15.3-3, "Parameters Used in Evaluating the Radiological Consequences of a Locked Rotor Accident," and 15.3-4, "Radiological Consequences of a Locked Rotor Accident." The loss of offsite power provides an external pathway for release of radioactive material, as noted in USAR § 15.3.3.3.2, "Identification of Uncertainties and Conservative Elements in the Analysis":
The coincident Joss of offsite power with the occurrence of a reactor coolant pump locked rotor is a highly conservative assumption. In the event of the availability of offsite station power, the condenser steam dump valves will open, permitting steam dump to the condenser. Thus there is no direct release to the environment.

Analysis 4 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 A detailed discussion of the models used is located in USAR Appendix 15A, "Accident Analysis Radiological Consequences Evaluation Models and Parameters.'\ USAR Table 15.3-4 projects a thyroid dose of 882 millirem at the exclusion area boundary.
Based on radiological consequences, Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, classifies the above as an EAL-1 / BASES - 1. RER3, "Valid dose assessment indicates a dose greater than 500 mR thyroid (CDE) at site boundary, would classify the event as a Site Area Emergency.
The event as diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-15 and summarized in USAR Table 15.3-1, Sheet #2, is assumed to generate a reactor trip from full power due to "Low RCS Flow in One Loop." The event is also assumed to cause the pressurizer safety valves to open to relieve RCS pressure. For this assessment, it is assumed that procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection," was the entry point for operator actions.
The USAR Table 15.3-2, "without offsite power column, gives a maximum clad temperature at the core hot spot of 1,942 °F (affecting 0.4 % of the Zr*H 20 by weight). USAR Figure 15.3-19, "Outer Clad Temperature for Locked Rotor without Offsite Power," shows that for localized area of the core the peak occurs 4 seconds into the incident and then decreases to 1,600 °F within 6 more seconds. USAR Figure 15.3-18, "Core Average Temperature Locked Rotor With and without Offsite Power," shows that, in the "without offsite power case, the core temperature is back to "pre-event" levels within 8 seconds. The combination suggests increased activity in the core but no sustained temperature rise.
- EMG E-0:
For procedure E-0, following the operator checks and actions from step #1 through step #10, this assessment does not assume additional "RNO" events that are outside the scope of the USAR description (e.g., ATWS, un-trippable turbines, etc.). (CRS/R0#1/R0#2)
Step #1 verifies reactor trip. (R0#1)
Step #2 verifies turbine trip. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks AC emergency busses - at least one energized. (R0#1)
Step #4 checks if safety injection is actuated. (R0#1)
Step #5 checks if SI is required. (R0#1)
Step #6 verifies automatic actions using Attachment F, Automatic Signal Verification. (R0#1)
Step #7 checks main generator breakers and exciter breaker - open. (R0#2)
Step #8 checks total AFW flow > 270,000 lbm/hr. (R0#2)
Step #9 checks RCS cold leg temperatures. (R0#2) 61
Analysis 4 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #10 establishes SIG pressure control. (R0#2)
Step #11 has the operator checking the status of the pressurizer PORVs (which the above scenario assumes have opened to deal with the pressure transient when one of the reactor coolant pumps had a rotor lock, but are functioning properly). (R0#2) The RNO path for being unable to close the PORVs is to use and monitor procedure EMG F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSFST)," (STA/R0#2) and then to procedure EMG E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant."
Step #12 has the operator check normal PZR spray valves closed. (R0#2)
Step #13 has the operator check PZR safety valves closed. (R0#2)
(Again, the scenario assumes that the Pressurizer Safety Values will operate properly for the duration of the accident).
Step #14 checks that the reactor coolant pumps are off. (R0#2)
At step #15, the operator is directed to monitor procedure EMG F-0. The procedure EMG E-0 continues while the Critical Status Function Status Tree (CSFST) is monitored. (STA)
Step #16 has the operator check for faulted steam generators. (For the RNO path, see the above section, "Feed-water System Pipe Break," for more details). Faulted steam generators are not part of the scenario being analyzed here. (R0#2)
Step #17 has the operator check if the steam generator tubes are intact. For this scenario, we're assuming a primary to secondary leak of 1 gallon/minute with the coolant having some elevated activity due to the "hot spot" and localized cladding failure. This is the RNO step that would direct to ES-03. (R0#2)
Step #18 has the operator check if RCS is intact in containment. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #19 has the operator check if ECCS flow should be reduced. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #20 has the operator reset SI. (R0#1)
Step #21 has the operator reset containment isolation phase A and B. (R0#1)
The possibility of a loss of offsite power during this event is within the scope of this event. Steps
- 22 - #23 on the RNO path, involves using an operator to locally open the ESW A or B to air compressor valves, in order to ensure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment. An operator may also be dispatched to locally reset alarms and restart air compressors as needed.
(R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #24 involves checking steam generator levels (again, this scenario assumes a one gallon per minute leakage from the primary to secondary, but no other issues with the steam generators). (R0#2) 62
Analysis 4 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor)
On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #25 is a repeat of the actions of Step #17. (R0#2/RP#2/CH)
Steps #26 through #28 are assumed to be conducted on the "normal" path.- (R0#1/RP#2)
Step #29 involves checking if the diesel generators should be stopped (e.g., is there offsite power available yet?). Procedure SYS KJ-121, "Diesel Generator NE01 and NE02 Lineup for Automatic Operation" is called out on the normal path, while continuing procedure E-0. The diesel generator procedure does have local actions (annunciator panel checks, oil level checks, governor speed checks, valve manipulations, etc.) called out throughout the document.
(R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #30 involves an operator locally resetting the boric acid transfer pump breakers and the emergency borate valve breakers. (R0#1/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Steps #31 through #33 are assumed to be conducted on the "normal" path. Step #34 loops back to step #9, "Check RCS Cold Leg Temperatures." (R0#1/NS0#3)
The operator continues looping through the procedure until the step #20, "Check If ECCS Flow Should be Reduced" can be answered with the action "Go to EMG ES-03, SI Termination, step
- 1."
EMG ES-03:
Steps #1/2 reset ESFAS signals to allow for component repositioning. (CRS/R0#1)
Steps #3/4 establish Instrument Air -and aligns it to Containment. (CRS/R0#2)
Steps #5/6/7 reduces charging flow rates to 1 CCP (CRS/R0#1)
Steps #8/9/10 establish CCW flow to Containment (CRS/R0#2)
Steps #11- 15 Establish normal charging and secure BIT Flow (CRS/R0#1)
Steps #16-18 Secures remaining ECCS Pumps and determine if SI is still not needed.
(CRS/R0#2)
Termination path (expected actions are beyond the first 90 minutes of the event):
The longer-term closure to this event is assumed to involve completion of procedure EMG ES-03, "SI Termination".
If a LOCA should occur during the termination path, the procedure EMG ES-11, "Post-LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization" may be invoked.

Analysis 5 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Break On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #5 Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Break (Bounded by Event #4)
The USAR § 15.3.4.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
The accident is postulated as an instantaneous failure of a reactor coolant pump shaft, as discussed in Section 5.4. Flow through the affected reactor coolant loop is rapidly reduced, though the initial rate of reduction of coolant flow is greater for the reactor coolant pump rotor seizure event. Reactor trip is initiated on a low flow signal in the affected loop.
Following initiation of the reactor trip, heat stored in the fuel rods continues to be transferred to the coolant, causing the coolant to expand. At the same time, heat transfer to the shell side of the steam generators is reduced - first, because the reduced flow results in a decreased tube side film coefficient and then because the reactor coolant in the tubes cools dowh while the shell side temperature increases (turbine steam flow is reduced to zero upon plant trip). The rapid expansion of the coolant in the reactor core, combined with reduced heat transfer in the steam generators, causes an insurge into the pressurizer and a pressure increase throughout the RCS. The insurge into the pressurizer compresses the steam volume, actuates the automatic spray system, opens the power-operated relief valves, and opens the pressurizer safety valves, in that sequence. The two power-operated relief valves are designed for reliable operation and would be expected to function properly during the accident. However, for conservatism, their pressure-reducing effect, as well as the pressure-reducing effect of the spray, are not included in the analysis.
The document continues, in USAR § 15.3.4.2, "Conclusions":
The consequences of a reactor coolant pump shaft break are no worse than those calculated for the locked rotor incident (see Section 15.3.3). With a failed shaft, the impeller could conceivably be free to spin in a reverse direction as opposed to being fixed in position as assumed in the Jocked rotor analysis. However, the net effect on core flow is negligible, resulting in only a slight decrease in the end point (steady state) core flow. For both the shaft break and Jocked rotor incidents, reactor trip occurs very early in the transient. In addition, the Jocked rotor analysis conservatively assumes that DNB occurs at the beginning of the transient.
Thus, the analysis for this accident is considered bounded by the above analysis for the Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Seizure (Locked Rotor) accident (Event #4).

Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event #6 Narrative Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults". The USAR § 15.4.8.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
This accident is defined as the mechanical failure of a control rod mechanism pressure housing, resulting in the ejection of an RCCA and drive shaft. The consequence of this mechanical failure is a rapid positive reactivity insertion and system depressurization together with an adverse core power distribution, possibly leading to localized fuel rod damage.
A detailed discussion of possible accidents in this category, analytical methods used, and consequence analysis can be found in USAR § 15.4.8, "Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents", and are diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-21, "Rupture of Control Rod Drive Mechanism Housing".
The USAR § 15.4.8.2, "Analysis of Effects and Consequences," elaborates on the conditions assumed for the accident:
The values for ejected rod worths and hot channel factors are calculated. No credit is taken for the flux flattening effects of reactivity feedback. The calculation is performed for the maximum allowed bank insertion at a given power level, as determined by the rod insertion limits. Adverse xenon distributions are considered in the calculation.
The minimum design shutdown margin available for this plant at hot zero power (HZP) may be reached only at end-of-life in the equilibrium cycle. This value includes an allowance for the worst stuck rod and adverse xenon distribution, conservative Doppler and moderator defects, and an allowance for calculational uncertainties. Physics calculations for this plant have shown that the effect of two stuck RCCAs (one of which is the worst ejected rod) is to reduce the shutdown by about an additional 1 percent iJ.k.
Therefore, following a reactor trip resulting from an RCCA ejection accident, the reactor will be subcritical when the core returns to HZP.
It is assumed that fission products are released from the gaps of all rods experiencing DNB. In all cases considered, less than 10 percent of the rods experienced the DNB.
Although limited fuel melting at the hot spot was predicted for the full power cases, in practice melting is not expected since the analysis conservatively assumed that the hot spots before and after ejection were coincident.
USAR Table 15.4-1, "Time Sequence of Events for Incidents Which Result in Reactivity and Power Distribution Anomalies," Sheet #2, provides information on the timing for Rod cluster control assembly ejection accidents. Tables 15.4-2, "Parameters Used in the Analysis of the Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accident," and 15.4-3, "Parameters Used in Evaluating the RCCA Ejection Accident," elaborate further on the chain of events for this scenario.
73
Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 USAR §15.4.8.3, "Radiological Consequences," assesses:
Prior to the accident, it is assumed that the plant has been operating with simultaneous fuel defects and steam generator tube leakage for a time sufficient to establish equilibrium levels of activity in the reactor coolant and secondary systems.
The RCCA ejection results in reactivity being inserted to the core which causes the local power to rise. In a conseNative analysis, it is assumed that partial cladding failure and fuel melting occurs. The fuel pellet and gap activities are assumed to be immediately and uniformly released within the reactor coolant ...
The activity released to the containment from the reactor coolant through the ruptured control rod mechanism pressure housing is assumed to be mixed instantaneously throughout the containment and is available for leakage to the atmosphere. The only removal processes considered in the containment are iodine plateout, radioactive decay, and leakage from the containment.
The model for the activity available for release to the atmosphere from the relief valves assumes that the release consists of the activity in the secondary system plus that fraction of the activity leaking from the reactor coolant through the steam generator tubes. The leakage of reactor coolant to the secondary side of the steam generator continues until the pressures in the reactor coolant and secondary systems equalize.
Primary and secondary pressures are equalized at 1100 seconds following the accident, thus terminating primary to secondary leakage in the steam generators ... Thereafter, no mass transfer from the reactor coolant system to the secondary system due to the steam generator tube leakage is assumed. Thus, in the case of coincident loss of offsite power, activity is released to the atmosphere from a steam dump through the relief valves.
The USAR § 15.4.8.3.1.2, "Assumptions and Conditions," makes a number of major assumptions regarding the radiological releases, including:
- 10 percent of the fuel rod gap activity, except for Kr-85 and 1-131, which are 30 percent and 12 percent respectively, is additionally released to the reactor coolant.
- 0. 25 percent of the fuel is assumed to melt.
- Following the incident until primary and secondary side pressures equalize, secondary steam is released to the environment.--;-;-:
- Offsite power is assumed lost.
There are three release pathways for this accident, per USAR § 15.4.8.3.1.4, "Identification of Leakage Pathways and Resultant Leakage Activity":
- 1. Direct steam dump to the atmosphere through the secondary system relief valves for the secondary steam
- 2. Primary-to-secondary steam generator tube leakage and subsequent steam dump to the atmosphere through the secondary system relief valves 74
Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1
- 3. The resultant activity released to the containment is assumed available for leakage directly to the environment.
Radiological consequences for the worst-case scenario (RCCA Ejection Accident with no offsite power) are described in USAR Tables 15.4-3 (discussed above) and 15.4-4, "Radiological Consequences of a Rod-Ejection Accident." For the worst-case accident, occurring at "Hot Full Power," (HFP) near the beginning or ending of core life, the exclusion boundary dose to the thyroid is projected at 11,700 millirem. The whole body dose is projected at 58.5 millirem.
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, could classify the rod ejection accident as an EAL-3 / BASES-3, "Loss of Reactor Coolant Boundary," LRCB3, (Greater than 2% Fuel Clad Damage), which would fall under a Site Area Emergency. However, given the effects of the rod ejection accident on the fuel, the projected doses to the site boundary classify the accident as EAL-1 / BASES-1, "Radioactive Effluent Release," RER4, (Valid dose assessment indicates a dose greater than 1000 mR TEDE or 5000 mR thyroid (CDE) at the Site boundary). This escalates the classification to a General Emergency.
The event as diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-21, "Rupture of Control Rod Drive Mechanism Housing," is assumed to generate a reactor trip from full power, based on the USAR § 15.4.8.2.2, "Calculation of Basic Parameters," statement:
... reactor protection for a rod ejection is provided by high neutron flux trip (high and low setting) and high rate of neutron flux increase trip.
The event has also caused a LOCA, based on the statement:
Depressurization calculations have been performed for a typical four-loop plant, assuming the maximum possible size break (2. 75-inch diameter) located in the reactor pressure vessel head. The results show a rapid pressure drop and a decrease in system water mass due to the break. The safety injection system is actuated on low pressurizer pressure within 1 minute after the break. The RCS pressure continues to drop and reaches saturation (1,200 psi) in about 2 to 3 minutes. Due to the large thermal inertia of primary and secondary systems, there has been no significant decrease in the RCS temperature below no-load by this time.
EMG E-0:
The procedure starts out with a caution that "Accident conditions can cause higher than normal radiation levels. RP monitoring may be required while performing local operator actions."
Step #1 verifies reactor trip. (R0#1)
Step #2 verifies turbine trip. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks AC emergency busses - at least one energized. (R0#1)
Step #4 checks if safety injection is actuated. (R0#1) 75
Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #5 checks if SI is required. (R0#1)
Step #6 verifies automatic actions using Attachment F, Automatic Signal Verification. (R0#1)
Step #7 checks main generator breakers and exciter breaker - open. (R0#2)
Step #8 checks total AFW flow > 270,000 lbmlhr. (R0#2)
Step #9 checks RCS cold leg temperatures. (R0#2)
Step #10 establishes SIG pressure control. (R0#2)
For steps #11 - #13, the normal path is followed. USAR Figure 15.1-22, "Pressurizer Pressure and Pressurizer Liquid Volume SLB Without Offsite Power," shows a rapid drop in volume for the first 20 seconds and a rapid drop in pressure for the first 60 seconds, stabilizing at an RCS pressure of approximately 1050 psia and a liquid volume less than 30 ft3 . As noted above, a pressurizer valve failure is outside the scope of this event. (R0#2)
Step #14 follows the normal path. The reactor coolant pumps tripped when the reactor tripped.
(R0#2)
Step #15 directs the operator (STA) to monitor the critical safety functions using procedure EMG F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSFST)," based on "safety injection has not been terminated and no accident condition has been identified".
Step #16 checks if SIGs are not faulted. (R0#2)
Step #17 checks if SIG tubes are intact. (R0#2)
Step #18 checks if RCS is intact in containment. (R0#1)
EMG E-1:
Step #1 checks if the RCPs have been stopped. The scenario has the RCPs tripped when the reactor tripped, with the loss of offsite power. Follow the RNO path and go to step #2. (R0#2)
Step #2 checks if the SIGs are faulted. This is a repeat of procedure EMG E-0, step #16. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks if the SIGs are intact (e.g., are not ruptured). (R0#2)
Step #4 has the operator reset the safety injection (SI), and Step #5 has the operator reset the containment isolation phase A and B. (R0#1/R0#2)
Step #6 determines the secondary radiation levels. One sub-step has radiation protection survey steam lines in Area 5 of the Auxiliary Building, which was already to have been started in procedure E-0, step #17. (R0#2/RP#2/CH) 76
Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #6, sub-step (e), opens all SIG sample isolation valves. At that point, chemistry is directed to sample all S/Gs for activity. (R0#2/RP#2/CH)
Step #7 is a check on the secondary radiation levels. No local actions were identified.
(R0#2/RP#2)
Step #8 checks pressurizer PORV valves, which are assumed in this scenario to be acting normally. The loss of RCS pressure is due to a double-ended guillotine break in the cold leg, not due to a pressurizer valve lifting. The pressurizer valves remained closed and the RCS pressure has rapidly dropped below 2185 psig. Accumulator injection occurred 14-19 seconds into the event, as noted in USAR Table 15.6-10, "Time Sequence of Events for Loss-Of-Coolant Accidents." (R0#1)
Step #9 verifies instrument air alignment. This scenario assumes a loss of offsite power at the beginning of the LOCA. The RNO path involves using an operator to locally open the ESW A or B to air compressor valves, in order to insure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment.
An operator may also be dispatched to locally reset alarms, restart air compressors and open instrument air supply containment isolation valves as needed. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #10 verifies instrument air to containment. (R0#2)
Step #11 checks to see if the ECCS flow should be reduced. In this scenario, the RCS has blown down to the bottom of the core and is re-filling. Much of the initial RCS inventory has flashed to steam, heating and pressurizing the containment building. The RCS pressure is rapidly decreasing. The operator goes to step #12. (R0#1)
Step #12 checks to see if the containment sprays should be stopped. The spray pumps are assumed to be running, and the containment pressure is between 3 psig and 60 psig. (Per USAR Figure 6.2.1-6 has the containment pressure at 27 psig and decreasing at 1000 seconds.
This step is assumed to follow the normal path. If 2 or more of the 4 available containment fan coolers are running in emergency mode, only one running spray pump will be required. As noted in USAR § 6.2.1.4.3.2, "Input Parameters and Assumptions," the containment fan coolers are operable using power from the emergency diesel generators. (R0#2)
Step #13 checks if RHR pumps should be stopped. The RHR pumps should continue running, as the RCS has blown down to the bottom of the core and is re-filling. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #14 checks the RCS and SIG Pressures. The RCS pressure is stable or decreasing due to the large double-ended guillotine break in the cold leg. The SIG pressures are not decreasing in an uncontrolled manner. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#1/R0#2)
Step #15 checks whether the diesel generators should be stopped. This scenario assumes that there was a loss of offsite power when the event started. Operators will try to restore offsite 77
Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 power to NB01 and NB02, but until that is successful, the emergency diesel generators will be kept running and loaded to their respective busses. (R0#2)
Step #16 has an operator locally reset and close the boric acid transfer pump breakers and the emergency borate valve breaker. (R0#1/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #17 has the operator close the non-class 1E battery charger breakers. (R0#2)
Step #18 involves checking for the availability of offsite power. The RNO path is to "try to restore offsite power using applicable SYS procedure(s)." One of the additional RNO sub-steps involves energizing the TSC diesel using procedure STN KAT-001, while this procedure continues. (R0#2/NS0#3)
Moving to procedure EMG ES-12 will happen at some point, but is based on the situation not the step being performed.
EMG ES-12: (CRS/R0#1)
In EMG ES-12, there is a cautionary warning that switchover to recirculation may cause high radiation in the Auxiliary Building. (NS0#5/RP#2)
Step #2 on the RNO path, has an operator locally open the CCW to RHR heat exchanger valves, if radiation levels permit. (NS0#5/RP#2)
Step #3, the RNO path, has an operator locally close the Fuel Building A & B SFP heat exchanger room valves, if radiation levels permit. (NS0#5/RP#2)
The EMG ES-12 scenario does not have local operations listed until Step #7. At that step, the RNO path for closing the RHR train hot leg recirculation values is to have an operator locally close the Aux Building RHR Train A&B hot leg recirculation valves, if radiation levels permit.
(NS0#5/RP#2)
Steps #7- #10, has RNO paths for an operator to locally manipulate, if radiation levels permit any or all of the following: (NS0#5/RP#2)
- Close both RHR Train Hot Leg Recirc Valves
- Isolate RWST from Charging and SI Step #11 checks if the Phase A and Phase B containment isolation and the containment sprays can be reset. The RNO path skips to Step #15, "Verify Flow Path from Sump to RCS." (R0#1)
Steps #12 - #16 do not have any local operator actions listed. The RNO path for step #15 assumes there aren't any flow paths from the containment sump at all, which would put the reactor into procedure EMG C-11, "Loss of Emergency Coolant Recirculation." Such an event is well beyond the design basis accident assessed here. (R0#1) 78
Analysis 6 Spectrum of Rod Cluster Control Assembly Ejection Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #17 opens breakers for both CCP suction from RWST valves. (NS0#6)
Step #18 records time of fuel pool heat exchanger CCW isolation in control room log. There are no local operator actions. (R0#1)
Step #19 monitors ECCS leakage - normal. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #20 determines if transfer to hot leg recirc will be required. (CRS)'
Step #21 initiates refill of RWST. (R0#1/NS0#5)
Step #22 verifies ECCS pumps not affected by sump blockage. (R0#1)
Step #23 returns the operator to the procedure step in effect. (CRS) 79

Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #7 Steam Generator Tube Failure This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults." USAR § 15.6.3.1.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
The accident examined is the complete severance of a single steam generator tube. The accident is assumed to take place at power with the reactor coolant contaminated with
- fission products corresponding to continuous operation with a limited number of defective fuel rods. The accident leads to an increase in the contamination of the secondary system due to the leakage of radioactive coolant from the RCS. Loss of off-site power is assumed to occur coincident with reactor trip. Discharge of activity to the atmosphere takes place via the steam generator safety and/or atmospheric relief valves.
Following the occurrence of the SG tube rupture, the primary to secondary leakage causes the pressurizer level and the RCS pressure to decrease. As the RCS pressure continues to decrease, automatic reactor trip occurs on low pressurizer pressure or over-temperature delta-T (OT.t:. T) signal. Because of the assumed loss of offsite power, the steam dump system will not be available, and the secondary side pressure increases rapidly after reactor trip until the steam generator ARVs and/or SV lift to dissipate the energy. After reactor trip, the RCS pressure continues to decrease and the safety injection is automatically initiated on low pressurizer pressure signal. Due to the assumed loss of offsite power at the reactor trip, normal feedwater flow is terminated and the AFW is initiated.
The analysis assumes failure of the AFW control valve on the discharge side of the motor-driven AFW pump feeding the ruptured steam generator. It is assumed that this valve fails in the wide-open position to maximize the flow to the ruptured steam generator. Failure of this valve coupled with the contribution from the turbine-driven AFW pump has a greater potential for overfilling the ruptured steam generator.
A detailed discussion of possible accidents in this category, analytical methods used and consequences assessed can be found in USAR § 15.6.3, "Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR)," and are diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-24, "Steam Generator Tube Rupture":
The steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) examined is the complete severance of one single steam generator tube which results in the leakage of reactor coolant into the secondary side of the steam generator. The consequences of SGTR depend largely upon the ability of the operator to take the necessary actions to terminate the primary to secondary leakage. If the leakage continues for an extended period of time, the secondary side of the steam generator may become filled and water may enter the steam line. As a result, the release of liquid through the secondary side safety/relief valves to the atmosphere may occur that could result in an increase in the radiological doses.
88
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 The overfill SGTR scenario assumes failures in the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system such that if operators do not respond quickly enough to terminate feedwater, then the affected steam line may fill with water. The specific failure involves the control valve on the discharge side of the motor driven feedwater pump feeding the faulted steam generator. To maximize flow to the faulted steam generator, it is assumed that this valve fails in the wide-open position. Failure of this valve, coupled with the contribution from the turbine driven AFW pump, has the potential for overfilling the faulted steam generator and subsequently, relieve water via a safety valve. The radionuclide releases are maximized by assuming the safety valve is stuck-open following water relief, with an effective flow area equal to 5% of the total safety valve flow area.
It has been determined that the most severe radiological consequences will result from the forced steam generator overfill scenario with a stuck-open safety valve.
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, identifies the above as EAL-2 I BASES-2, SGTF5 (the steam generator with a tube rupture is also faulted). This classifies the event as a General Emergency.
The USAR § 15.6.3.1.2, "Assumptions and Conditions," states:
It is important to note that only steam is released from the ruptured steam generator, prior to steam generator overfill. However, affer overfill occurs, the releases from the ruptured steam generator may be water and/or steam depending upon the conditions in the steam generator. Affer the water and steam mixture is discharged through the safety valves, a consequential failure of the safety valve was assumed. With a failed-open safety valve on the ruptured steam generator, the ruptured steam generator will continue to depressurize (Figure 15. 6-3d). Thus, primary and secondary pressure equalization can not be achieved, and the primary to secondary leakage and release to the atmosphere will continue until cold shutdown conditions are reached.
USAR § 15.6.3.3.1.2, "Assumptions and Limitations," models the radiological source term given the following:
- The analysis yields 195,371 pounds of reactor coolant transferred to the secondary side of the faulted steam generator.
- It is assumed that all of the iodine in the fraction of reactor coolant that flashes to steam upon reaching the secondary side is released to the steam phase. No credit is taken for scrubbing.
- A 1-gpm primary-to-secondary leak is assumed to occur to the unaffected steam generators, through the accident sequence.
- All noble gas activity in the reactor coolant that is transported to the secondary system via the tube rupture and the primary-to-secondary leakage is released to the atmosphere.
- The iodine partition fraction between the liquid and steam in the steam generator is assumed to be 0.01.
89
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 The sequence of events for this accident are summarized in USAR Table 15.6-1, "Time Sequence of Events for Incident Which Results in a Decrease in Reactor Coolant Inventory,"
using the section labeled "Steam generator tube rupture: Failed-open auxiliary feedwater control valve and safety valve."
The system status and radiological inventory of this accident are listed in USAR Table 15.6-4, "Parameters Used in Evaluating the Radiological Consequences of a Steam Generator Tube Rupture with Forced Overfill." The offsite radiological consequences are summarized in USAR Table 15.6-5, "Radiological Consequences of a Steam Generator Tube Rupture." The projected thyroid dose at the site boundary was 51,769 millirem. This is high enough to classify the accident under EAL-1 / BASES-1, "Radioactive Effluent Release," RER4, (Valid dose assessment indicates a dose greater than 1000 mR TEDE or 5000 mR thyroid (CDE) at the Site boundary). This is an additional path that classifies the accident as a General Emergency.
USAR § 15.6.3.2.2, "Analysis of Effects and Consequences," describes the sequence:
Reactor trip occurs automatically as a result of low pressurizer pressure or over temperature Delta T. Loss of offsite power occurs at reactor trip.
For this assessment procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection," was the entry point for operator actions. USAR Figures 15.6-3A, "Pressurizer Pressure Transient SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve," through 15.6-3J, "Faulted Steam Generator Mixture Volume Transient SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve," help inform the sequence of events that follow.
EMG E-0:
As noted in a CAUTION box near the beginning of EMG E-0, "Abnormal conditions can cause higher than normal radiation levels. Health Physics monitoring may be required while performing local operator actions."
The reactor has tripped and one steam generator has both a tube rupture and a fault. EMG E-0, follows the "normal path" through step #6 (the emergency diesel generators started without incident).
Normally, fold-out page Step #4 would isolate feed flow by this point. (R0#1)
Step #6 jumps to Attachment F, "Automatic Signal Verification," to ensure feedwater isolation has occurred. This step, as noted in the basis document, addresses the problem that: (R0#1)
The main feedwater system is isolated on a feedwater isolation signal to prevent uncontrolled filling of any SIG and the associated excessive RCS coo/down, which could aggravate the transient, especially if it were a.steamline break. The SIG b/owdown and sample valves close on an SI signal but are included in the verification of feedwater isolation in order that they may be checked at this time.
In this case, the scenario specifically involves uncontrolled filling of a faulted SIG.
90
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 For any local operator actions called out in Attachment F, see specifically:
- F1, "Verifying Feedwater Isolation", the RNO path and actions in Attachment A, "Valves Closed by SIG Slowdown and Sample Isolation Signal." (NS0#6)
- F2, "Verifying Containment Isolation", the RNO path and actions in Attachment B, "Valves Closed by Containment Isolation Signal Phase A." (NS0#5)
- F8, "Verify Containment Purge Isolation", the RNO path and actions in Attachment C, "Valves Closed by Containment Purge Isolation Signal." (NS0#5)
- F10, "Verify Main Steamline Isolation Not Required", the RNO path and actions in Attachment D, "Valves Closed by Steamline Isolation Signal." (NS0#6)
- F11, "Verify Containment Spray Not Required", the RNO path and actions in Attachment E, "Valves Closed by Containment Isolation Signal Phase B." (NS0#5)
Step #8 has a check for total AFW flow> 270,000 lbm/hr. The RNO path for this event involves manual operations and jumps to procedures needed if this event was more serious than the scenario assessed here. (R0#2)
Steps #9 and #10 checks RCS cold leg temperatures and establish steam generator (SG) pressure control. There are no specific instructions requiring local operator actions. (R0#2)
For steps #11 - #13, the normal path is followed. USAR Figure 15.1-22, "Pressurizer Pressure and Pressurizer Liquid Volume SLB Without Offsite Power," shows a rapid drop in volume for the first 20 seconds and a rapid drop in pressure for the first 60 seconds, stabilizing at an RCS pressure of approximately 1050 psia and a liquid volume less than 30 ft 3 . As noted above, a pressurizer valve failure is outside the scope of this event. (R0#2)
Step #14 follows the normal path. The reactor coolant pumps tripped when the reactor tripped.
(R0#2)
Step #15 directs an operator to monitor critical safety functions using procedure EMG F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees," while continuing with this procedure. (STA)
Step #16 checks to see if "S/Gs Are Not Faulted." The RNO path (which reflects this narrative) sends the operator to procedure EMG E-2, "Faulted Steam Generator Isolation," step #1.
(R0#2)
EMG E-2:
Step #1 has the operator check to see if the steam lines on all S/G's are isolated. This involves ensuring the main steam line valves, bypass valves and low point drain valves are closed. The RNO path has manual operations, but no local operations were identified. (R0#2)
Step #2 has the operator check to see if limitations for fault in Area 5 are required (which will depend on where the break is located). The procedure adds a warning to local operators in the affected area. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #3 checks to see if any S/G's are not faulted. Based on the scenario for this event, S/Gs that are not connected to the broken main steam line are not faulted. (R0#2) 91
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #4 identifies S/G's that are faulted. The normal path has "any S/G pressures decreasing in an uncontrolled manner" OR "any S/G completely depressurized", which is consistent with USAR Figures 15.1-25 and 15.1-26. (R0#2)
Step #5 isolates the faulted S/G's. The normal path involves closing the AFW flow controls to the faulted S/Gs. The RNO path has an operator locally isolate the affected lines. The Turbine Driven AFW pump always has the steam supply line locally closed by the operator. The SIG atmospheric relief valves (ARVs) on the faulted S/Gs are checked closed, and the RNO path has an operator locally isolate the affected SIG ARVs. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #6 addresses isolating feedwater lines. The RNO path for this section involves manual closure of valves. If manual closure of valves also fails, then a subsequent RNO path has a dispatch operator isolate valves locally. The valves in question are the main feedwater reg valves, the main feedwater reg bypass valves and the main feedwater chemical injection valves.
(R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #7 covers isolation of blowdown and sampling lines. There is an RNO path to locally isolate the affected blowdown and/or sampling line(s) for the affected S/G's. (R0#2)
Step #8 discusses situations where the pressurizer PORV opens due to high pressure. For the event described, the RCS pressure drops with the cooldown and the pressurizer empties 18 seconds into the event (see USAR Table 15.1-1, sheet #2, as described above). The event follows the normal path. (R0#1)
Step #9 discusses continued uncontrolled cooldown. The core inlet temperature for the intact loops and the core average temperature start to stabilize after the first 30 seconds of the event.
See USAR Figure 15.1-23, "Core Inlet Temperature and Core Average Temperature SLB Without Offsite Power. The normal path is followed, based on the accident description.
(R0#2)
Step #10 has specific extreme caution statements regarding performing local surveys if the steam lines in Area 5 of the aux building are not intact, if there is a need to establish a sampling capability to determine secondary radiation levels. Health physics is directed to locally survey the steam lines in this area. Chemistry is directed to sample all S/G's for activity. In this case, per the scenario, no steam generator tubes are ruptured. (R0#2/RP#2/CH)
The basis document comments:
Since it may be difficult to sample a depressurized steam generator for activity, the operator should suspect a rupture if the steam generator does not dry out following isolation of feed to it. A faulted, ruptured steam generator will stay at some low pressure and continue to cool that loop and the RCS. In addition, the operator should suspect a rupture if there is no indication of a RCS leak to containment. If the operator suspects that a faulted steam generator is not drying out and cannot confirm that it is ruptured by sampling because a sample cannot be drawn, a couple of options exist. A check for radiation in the area of the break (if it is outside the containment) to confirm that a rupture exists may be performed or the conclusion that the faulted generator is ruptured 92
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 if it is not practical to check for radiation based on response of the faulted steam generator or the response of the RCS may be made.
Step #11, on the RNO path, involves using an operator to locally open the ESW A or B to air compressor, to insure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment. (R0#2INS0#5)
Step #12 checks for intact SIG tubes. Based on the scenario, the SIG tubes are intact and the operator follows the normal path. (R0#2/RP#2ICH)
EMG E-3:
Step #1 's (Loss of offsite power, RCPs are already tripped) RNO path assumes a small-break LOCA with a delayed reactor trip (see the basis document for more details). This scenario assumes the reactor has already tripped, as described earlier (see USAR Figures 15.0-24 and 15.6-3A). (R0#1)
Step #2 involves identifying ruptured S/Gs. The steam line surveys and/or SIG chemistry samples conducted on either the normal or RNO paths are assumed to have already been started, based on EMG E-2, step #10, above. (R0#2)
Step #3 involves isolating the flow from ruptured S/Gs. The SIG ARV is assumed not closable, since liquids are venting from the valve. The RNO path for locally isolating the ARV is followed.
The remainder of the sub-steps on the normal path have local actions to close the steam supply to the turbine driven AFW pump and local isolation of the main steam line low point drain valve from ruptured S/Gs. However, these steps are assumed to have already been started during EMG E-2, steps #5 through #7, above. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #4 has an RNO path for local isolation of affected blowdown or sample lines. Again, these steps are assumed to have already been started during EMG E-2, steps #5 through #7, above.
(R0#2/ NS0#5)
Step #5 has a potential RNO path for local isolation of the main steam header. (R0#2)
Step #6 has no local actions. (R0#2)
Step #7 has an RNO path to locally isolate the AFW flow control valves for the Motor-Driven and Turbine-Driven AFW pumps from a ruptured SIG. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #8 has no local actions. (R0#2)
Step #9 checks the ruptured S/G's pressure >380 psig since the scenario assumes the TDAFW pump is not stopped in a timely manner and is over-filling the ruptured SIG and should follow normal path. (R0#2)
- Step #10 checks if low steam line pressure SI should be stopped. It is assumed to follow the normal path, given the pressure diagram in USAR Figure 15.6-30, "Steam Generator Pressure Transients SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve". (R0#1) 93
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #11 (Determine Target Plant Conditions from Table Below). USAR Figure 15.6-3D shows the lowest SIG Pressure for the ruptured SIG drops to about 750 psia at about 1400 seconds into the event. (R0#2)
Step #12 determines the method used to cooldown at maximum rate. (R0#2)
Step #13 follows the RNO path, since the loss of offsite power means the steam dumps are not available. This path bypasses step #14 and goes to step #15. (The basis document also provides a clarifying historical reference to the Ginna 1982 event). (R0#2)
Step #15 follows the normal path, since this scenario assumes only one SIG is ruptured and faulted. The other S/Gs are intact. This event does not have ARVs "failing open" for any SIG except for the ruptured/faulted one. This scenario also assumes the remaining SIG ARVs are still controllable by the operators. (R0#2)
Steps #16 and #17 follow the normal path. Any additional pressurizer problems would be outside the scope of this event. (R0#1)
Steps #18 and #19 cover scenarios where offsite power is lost after SI has reset. This scenario, in contrast, assumes that offsite power was lost at the beginning of the event. (R0#1)
Step #20 on the RNO path involves using an operator to locally manipulate the ESW A or B to air compressor valves. Circuit breakers are reset to insure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment. An operator may be dispatched to locally reset alarms and restart air compressors as needed.
(R0#1/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #21 on the RNO path has an operator locally open the instrumentation air supply containment isolation valve. (R0#1/NS0#5)
Steps #22 checks if RHR pumps should be stopped and has no local operations. (R0#1)
Step #23 has no local operations and provides a "hold point" to complete the cool-down of the RCS before continuing with RCS decompression. USAR Figure 15.6-3E, "Steam Generator Temperature Transients SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve" shows the RCS starting its cool-down at about 2000 seconds and completing the cool-down a few hundred seconds later. Control is maintained using the intact S/G's ARVs and/or the turbine-driven AFW pump. (R0#2) 94
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #24 checks the pressure behavior of the ruptured SIG. (R0#2) USAR Figure 15.6-3D shows the ruptured SIG pressure falling below the intact SIG pressures almost immediately after reactor trip, and staying below for the first 1200 seconds. Once the aux feedwater is terminated to the ruptured SIG, the steam pressure in the ruptured SIG rises steadily until 3000 seconds into the event. Pressure reaches levels near those that occurred during the initial reactor trip. At approximately 3000 seconds, water relief occurs and the pressure starts dropping thereafter. This series of events sends the operator down the RNO path and jumps to procedure EMG C-31, "SGTR with Loss of Reactor Coolant- Subcooled Recovery Desired".
See the basis document and USAR § 15.6.3.1.1, "Identification of Cause and Accident Description", item (g), for more details.
EMG C-31:
Steps #1 through #4 are assumed to have been conducted during the earlier procedures and follow the normal path.
Step #4 is a check on availability of offsite power to the NB01 and NB02 busses. The scenario assumes loss of offsite power at the beginning of the event, so the RNO path is followed. For this scenario, it's assumed the EDGs have started and loaded up properly. (If there was a loss of both onsite and offsite power, that event would be covered in the Station Blackout (SBO) narrative, which is beyond the scope of this scenario). (R0#2)
Step #5 involves de-energizing the pressurizer heaters and has no local operations. (R0#1)
Step #6 de-energizes the PZR heaters. (R0#11STA)
Step #7 has an operator perform a local reset and closure of the boric acid transfer pump and emergency borate valve breakers. This ensures boration capability is available for the RCS cool-down. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Steps #8 and #9 reenergize equipment and close breakers. These steps have no local operations. (R0#2)
Step #10 involves checking availability of offsite power. The RNO path is to "try to restore offsite power using applicable SYS procedure(s)". One of the additional RNO sub-steps involves energizing the TSC diesel using procedure STN KAT-001, while this procedure continues. (R0#2/ NS0#3)
STN KA T-001:
Operator locally performs the prerequisite checks listed in§ 7, "Prerequisites.".,. (NS0#3)
Operator locally performs § 8.1.1, 'Testing Installed TSC Diesel Generator" OR§ 8.2.1, "Testing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator." (NS0#3)
Operator locally performs § 8.1.2, "Placing TSC Diesel Generator In-service" OR § 8.2.2, "Placing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator In-service." (NS0#3) 95
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Note that if the TSC Diesel Generator runs for more than an hour, refer to Attachment B, "TSC Diesel Generator Reading," or if applicable, Attachment C, 'TSC Temporary Diesel Generator Readings," for hourly checks on the diesel generator in question. (NS0#3)
EMG C-31 (continued):
Step #11 involves checking the status of the containment sprays, which are not expected to be operating (or need to), given the details of the scenario. The RNO path moves to step #12.
(R0#1)
Step #12 checks for the level of a ruptured S/G. Given the scenario and USAR Figure 15.6-3J, "Faulted Steam Generator Mixture Volume Transient SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve," the secondary side has a forced overfill. The RNO path step
- 12(a) goes directly to the normal path step #12(c), to stop feeding the ruptured and faulted SIG. Cool-down will continue with the intact S/Gs. (R0#2)
As noted in USAR § 15.6.3.1.2:
Eighteen minutes following the initiation of the safety injection signal, the AFW from the motor-driven AFW pump to the ruptured steam generator is terminated by locally closing the failed AL-HV valve. AFWflow to the intact steam generators maintains the narrow range level between 6% and 50% as indicated in the Emergency Operating Procedure EMG E-3.
Step #13 follows the RNO path, as the RCS is expected to depressurize. Go to step #14.
(R0#1)
Step #14 aligns CCW sampling systems. (R0#2)
EMG C-31 (continued):
Step #15 places the hydrogen analyzers in service. This step has no local actions. (R0#2)
Step #16 checks the radiation levels in the Fuel and Auxiliary buildings. Radiation protection is directed to survey fuel and auxiliary buildings with priority being pipe penetration areas and piping tunnels. Some of these surveys were expected to have been previously addressed in EMG E-2, step #10. (R0#2IRP#2)
Step #17 has chemistry check the boron and activity levels at the following locations: RCS, PZR Liquid Space and Steam Generators. The S/G activity checks were expected to have been previously addressed in EMG E-2, step #10. (CHIRP#2IR0#1)
Step #18 is a check on plant status and has no local actions. (CRS)
Step #19 checks pressure on all S/Gs to see if any still have an uncontrolled pressure decrease.
For this scenario, it's assumed that the actions started in EMG E-2 have successfully isolated the ruptured and faulted S/G. The operator stays on the normal path. (R0#2) 96
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #20 checks on the water levels and feed flows for the intact S/Gs. The intact S/Gs are under control. The only S/G overfill occurred with the ruptured and faulted S/G, which has been isolated. The operator stays on the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #21 checks if condenser air removal should be returned to normal. The scenario assumes a loss of offsite power at the beginning of the event, so the condensers were never available.
The operator follows the RNO path and goes to step #22. (R0#2)
Step #22 checks if low steamline pressure SI should be blocked. (R0#1)
Step #23 initiates RCS cooldown to cold shutdown. Given the loss of offsite power, cooldown will be through the atmospheric relief valves rather than by the condenser. See USAR § 15.6.3.1.2, "Analysis of Effects and Consequences," item (g), for more details. At step 22(d),
the RNO path is followed. (R0#2)
Steps #24 and #25 check the appropriateness and adequateness of subcooled recovery. No additional uncontrolled pathways for losing RCS inventory are identified in this scenario. The normal path is followed. (R0#1)
Step #26 checks whether safety injection pumps are running. Per USAR Table 15.6-1, they have been running since 219 seconds into the event. The normal path is followed. (R0#2)
Step #27 initiates RCS depressurization to refill the pressurizer. Per USAR Figure 15.6-3F, "Pressurizer Water Level Transient SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve," the water level is at 20 ft when RCS cooldown is initiated and is at approximately 14 ft at the end of RCS cooldown. The operator follows the RNO path and goes to step #27.
(R0#1)
Step #28 checks operability of the RCPs. There is no offsite power, so the RCPs are not available. The operator follows the RNO path and goes to step #31. (R0#2)
Step #31 checks to see if one CCP should be stopped. Per USAR Figure 15.6-3F and USAR Table 15.6-1, the steps to terminate safety injection (except for one CCP left running) occur within 3334 seconds of the start of the event. Per USAR Figure 15.6-3C, "Intact Loop RCS Temperature Transients SGTR Forced Overfill with Stuck-Open Steam Generator Safety Valve," the hot leg temperature is greater than 480 °F and the cold leg is approximately 440°F at this point. (R0#1)
Step #32 checks to see if SI pumps should be stopped. Pressurizer level is recovering, per USAR Figure 15.6:-3F. The normal path is followed. (R0#2)
Once the pressurizer level has recovered to greater than 23%, one SI pump is stopped. Again, this will happen 3334 seconds into the event. The operator loops to the beginning of this step and continues checking RCS sub-cooling vs. SI pump status until all SI pumps have been stopped. Then the RNO path is followed and the operator goes to step #32.
97
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #33 checks to see if normal charging should be established. Per Figure 15.6-3F, all but one of the CCP pumps are stopped. The RCPs are not running, given the loss of offsite power.
The pressurizer level is recovering. (R0#1)
EMG C-32, may be entered if the Control room staff feels that they do not have enough RWST/SG inventory available to do the controlled coo/down during recovery.
EMG C-32:
Step #1 evaluates the RWST level to determine if level is adequate for cooldown rates required.
(R0#1)
Step #2 checks the ruptured SIG level to ensure adequate water levels to secure feeding the generator. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks if RHR pumps should be stopped. (R0#2)
Step #4 checks if SIG(s) are not faulted to allow any faulted generators to be isolated prior to recovery.. (R0#2)
Step #5 checks intact SIG levels to ensure adequate heat sing for cooldown. (R0#2)
Step #6 checks if the low steam line pressure SI should be blocked. (R0#1)
Step #7 initiates RCS cooldown to cold shutdown at a rate of 1OOFlhr using RHR/Dumping steam from Intact ARVs. (R0#2)
Step #8 checks RCS subcooling greater than 30 degrees F. (R0#2)
Step #9 checks if any of the following conditions are satisfied - any SI pumps running or BIT not isolated or RHR pumps running in SI mode. (R0#2)
Step #10 depressurizes RSC to refill the PZR. (R0#1)
Step #11 checks if RCP(s) should be started. If RCP(s) are all stopped, then skip to step #14.
(R0#2)
Step #14 checks if one CCP should be stopped if RCS subcooling temperature is greater than required subcooling. (R0#1)
Step #15 checks if SI pumps should be stopped if RCS subcooling temperature is greater than required subcooling. (R0#2)
Step #16 checks if normal charging should be established. (R0#1)
Step #17 and step #18 verify CCW to service loop and to containment. (R0#2)
Step #19 verifies RCP thermal barrier cooling. (R0#2) 98
Analysis 7 Steam Generator Tube Failure On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #20 aligns CCPs for normal charging. (R0#1)
Step #21 aligns the charging system. (R0#1)
Step #22 isolates the BIT. (R0#2)
Termination path (expected actions are beyond the first 90 minutes of the event):
The CCP flow is throttled back to 100 gpm per USAR Table 15.6-1, 3933 seconds into the event. The closing actions to this event, as described in USAR § 15.6.3.1.2, accomplish the following:
Following termination of the RCS coo/down, the RCS is depressurized by opening a pressurizer PORV to assure an adequate coolant inventory prior to terminating SI flow.
Primary depressurization is initiated at 8 minutes following the termination of the RCS coo/down and continues until the RCS pressure is less than the ruptured steam generator pressure.
Following the depressurization, termination of SI is delayed to ensure enough liquid enters the ruptured steam generator steam line to force the safety valve open and cause water relief It is assumed that 5 minutes following the termination of the RCS depressurization that the safety injection flow is reduced to just one centrifugal charging pump. At 15 minutes following the termination of the RCS depressurization, the one CCP is throttled back to 100 gpm and at 30 minutes following termination, letdown is initiated such that the net flow due to SI and letdown depressurization is zero.

Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #8 Loss of Coolant Accidents This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults." USAR § 15.6.5.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description," states:
A loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) is the result of a pipe rupture of the reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure boundary. -;-;-:A major break (large break) is defined as a rupture with a total cross-sectional area equal to or greater than 1. 0 ff ..,.,..,.
USAR § 15.6.5.2, "Sequence of Events and Systems Operations," continues:
Before the break occurs, the unit is in an equilibrium condition; i.e., the heat generated in the core is being removed via the secondary system. During blowdown, heat from fission product decay, hot internals, and the vessel continues to transfer to the reactor coolant.
At the beginning of the blowdown phase, the entire RCS contains subcooled liquid which transfers heat from the core by forced convection with some fully developed nucleate boiling. After the break develops, the time to departure from nucleate boiling is calculated ... Thereafter, the core heat transfer is unstable, with both nucleate boiling and film boiling occurring. As the core becomes uncovered, both transition boiling and forced convection are considered as the dominant core heat transfer mechanisms. Heat transfer due to radiation is also considered.
When the RCS depressurizes to 600 psia, the accumulators begin to inject borated water into the reactor coolant loops. The conservative assumption is made that all of the accumulator water injected during the bypass period is subtracted from the RCS after the bypass period terminates (called end-of bypass).
End-of-bypass (EOB) occurs when the expulsion or entrainment mechanisms responsible for the bypassing are calculated not to be effective ...
Since loss of offsite power (LOOP) is assumed, the reactor coolant pumps are assumed to trip at the inception of the accident. The effects of pump coastdown are included in the blowdown analysis.
The blowdown phase of the transient ends when the RCS pressure (initially assumed at 2300 psia) falls to a value approaching that of the containment atmosphere. Prior to, or at the end of, the blowdown, termination of bypass occurs and refill of the reactor vessel lower plenum begins. Refill is completed when emergency core cooling water has filled the lower plenum of the reactor vessel to the bottom of the active fuel region (BOC time).
The ref/ood phase of the transient is defined as the time period lasting from BOC recovery until the reactor vessel has been filled with water to the extent that the core temperature rise has been terminated. From the latter stage of blowdown and then the beginning of ref/ood, the accumulator tanks rapidly discharge borated cooling water into the RCS, thus contributing to the filling of the reactor vessel downcomer. The 108
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 downcomer head provides the driving force required for the reflooding of the reactor core.
The RHR (low head), safety injection, and high head centrifugal charging pumps aid in the filling of the downcomer and subsequently supply water to maintain a full downcomer and complete the ref/ooding process. Continued operation of the EGGS pumps supplies water during long-term cooling.
Core temperatures have been reduced to Jong-term steady state levels associated with dissipation of residual heat generation. After the water level of the refueling water storage tank (RWST) reaches a minimum allowable value, coolant for long-term cooling of the core is obtained by switching to the cold leg recirculation phase of operation.
Spilled borated water is drawn from the engineered safety features (ESF) containment sump by the RHR (low head) pumps and returned to the RCS cold legs. The containment spray pumps are manually aligned to the containment sump and continue to operate to further reduce containment pressure and temperature. Approximately 10. 0 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> after initiation of the LOCA, the EGGS is realigned to supply water to the RCS hot legs in order to control the boric acid concentration in the reactor vessel.
The reactor parameters that bound the radiological consequences of a LOCA can be found in USAR Tables 15A-1, "Parameters Used in Accident Analysis," and 15.6-6, "Parameters Used in Evaluating the Radiological Consequences of a Loss-of-Coolant-Accident." As outlined in USAR § 15.6.5.4, "Radiological Consequences," the radiological source term includes the assumptions: *
- a. The reactor core equilibrium noble gas and iodine inventories are based on long-term operation at the ultimate core power level of 3,565 MWt.
- b. One hundred percent of the core equilibrium radioactive noble gas inventory is immediately available for leakage from the containment.
- c. Twenty-five percent of the core equilibrium radioactive iodine inventory is immediately available for leakage from the containment. *
- d. Of the iodine fission product inventory released to the containment, 91 percent is in the form of elemental iodine, 5 percent is in the form of particulate iodine, and 4 percent is in the form of organic iodine.
- e. Credit for iodine removal by the containment spray system is taken, starting at time zero and continuing until a decontamination factor of 100 for the elemental and particulate species has been achieved.
USAR Table 15.6-8, "Radiological Consequences of a Loss-of-Coolant-Accident," lists exclusion area boundary doses of 88,820 millirem to the thyroid and 1,530 millirem whole body.
- Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, classifies the large break LOCA as an EAL-1 / BASIS-1, "Radioactive Effluent Release," RER4 (greater than 5000 mR thyroid COE),
based on the above projected exclusion area boundary dose projections. This event is a potential General Emergency.
The event as diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-25, "Loss of Coolant Accident," is assumed to generate a reactor trip from full power, based on the USAR § 15.6.5.2 statement:
109
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1
" .. .depressurization of the RCS results in a pressure decrease in the pressurizer. The reactor trip signal subsequently occurs when the pressurizer low pressure trip setpoint is reached."
A loss of offsite power (LOOP) is also assumed, per USAR § 15.6.5.2.
A conceptual timeline of the events is shown in USAR Figure 15.6-;4, "Sequence of Events for Large Break LOCA Analysis."
EMG E-0:
For this assessment, it was assumed that procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection," was the entry point for operator actions. The reactor has tripped, and a large (greater than one square foot) break in the reactor coolant system has caused a LOCA. Offsite power was lost at the beginning of the event, but the emergency diesel generators started and loaded onto the busses properly.
EMG E-0, the "normal path," is followed through Step #8. (R0#1/R0#2)
Steps #9 and #10 checks RCS cold leg temperatures and establish steam generator (SG) pressure control. In this scenario, the coolant is being ejected through a large-break LOCA.
The condenser is unavailable due to the loss of offsite power and the main steam lines have been automatically isolated due to the reactor trip and loss of offsite power. See USAR § 10.3.2.3, "System Operation," [of the Steam System] for more details on the equipment response. For this scenario, the large break LOCA predominates. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Steps #11 through #13 looks for loss of RCS inventory due to problems with the pressurizer (stuck-open PORV, actions of the pressurizer spray values, or open pressurizer safety valves).
In this case, the loss of RCS inventory is due to the large-break LOCA. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #14 checks whether the RCPs should be stopped. The RCPs are already stopped, since a loss of offsite power occurred at the beginning of the event. The operator follows the RNO path.
(R0#2)
Step #15 has the operator monitor procedure EMG F-0, "Critical Safety Function Status Trees,"
while continuing this procedure. (STA)
EMG F-0: (STA)
In this case, the LOCA caused a blowdown of reactor coolant into the containment building.
This generated a rapid increase in containment pressure, as much of the coolant flashed to steam.
USAR § 6.2.1.2.1, "Design Basis," describes the LOCA as:
110
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1
" ... a double-ended cold leg guillotine break within the reactor cavity. Pipe restraints are employed to limit the break flow area to less than 10 square inches."
USAR Table 6.2.1-2, "Principal Containment Design Parameters," shows the containment pressure for a LOCA peaking at 4 7. 3 psig and the temperature peaking at 306.1 °F. USAR Table 6.2.1-8, "Comparative Results: Summary of Results of Containment Pressure and Temperature Analysis for the Spectrum of Postulated Accidents" shows peak pressure is reached within 130 seconds and peak temperature is reached within 60 seconds of the start of the event, for a variety of double-ended guillotine pipe breaks.
For this analysis, it's assumed the operator observed the rapidly increasing containment pressure and followed the critical safety function status tree F-05, "Containment." Containment pressure is less than 60 psig, but is greater than 27 psig. The containment spray pumps are running, as noted in USAR Figure 15.6-4. This status tree follows a yellow path condition. As this is not a red or orange path condition the crew will stay in EMG E-0.
EMG E-0 (continued):
Step #16 checks to see if any SIG is faulted. The SIGs in this scenario are not faulted. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #17 checks to see if the SIG tubes are intact. (At this point, the containment building is pressurizing to greater than 40 psig and a temperature greater than 300°F). (R0#2)
Step #18 checks to see if the RCS is intact in containment. The containment pressure is rising, so the operator follows the RNO path to procedure EMG E-1, "Loss of Reactor or Secondary Coolant," step #1. (R0#1)
EMG E-1:
Step #1 checks if the RCPs have been stopped. The scenario has the RCPs tripped when the reactor tripped, with the loss of offsite power. Follow the RNO path and go to step #2. (R0#2)
Step #2 checks if the S/Gs are faulted. This is a repeat of procedure EMG E-0, step #16. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #3 checks if the SIGs are intact (e.g., are not ruptured). (R0#2)
Step #4 has the operator reset the safety injection (SI), and Step #5 has the operator reset the containment isolation phase A and B. (R0#1/R0#2)
Step #6 determines the secondary radiation levels. One sub-step has health physics surveys steam lines in Area 5 of the Auxiliary Building, which was already to have been started in procedure E-0, step #17. (R0#2/RP#2ICH)
Step #6, sub-step (e), opens all SIG sample isolation valves. At that point, chemistry is directed to sample all S/Gs for activity. (R0#2/CH) 111
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #7 is a check on the secondary radiation levels. No local actions were identified.
(R0#2/RP#2)
Step #8 checks pressurizer PORV valves, which are assumed in this scenario to be acting normally. The loss of RCS pressure is due to a double-ended guillotine break in the cold leg, not due to a pressurizer valve lifting. The pressurizer valves remained closed and the RCS pressure has rapidly dropped below 2185 psig. Accumulator injection occurred 14-19 seconds into the event, as noted in USAR Table 15.6-10, "Time Sequence of Events for Loss-Of-Coolant Accidents." (R0#1)
Step #9 verifies instrument air alignment. This scenario assumes a loss of offsite power at the beginning of the LOCA. The RNO path involves using an operator to locally open the ESW A or 8 to air compressor valves, in order to insure instrument air compressors are available to supply air to instruments and to restore instrument air to the containment.
An operator may also be dispatched to locally reset alarms, restart air compressors and open instrument air supply containment isolation valves as needed. (R0#2/NS0#5/NS0#6)
Step #10 verifies instrument air to containment. (R0#2)
Step #11 checks to see if the ECCS flow should be reduced. In this scenario, the RCS has blown down to the bottom of the core and is re-filling. Much of the initial RCS inventory has flashed to steam, heating and pressurizing the containment building. The RCS pressure is rapidly decreasing. The operator goes to step #12. (R0#1)
Step #12 checks to see if the containment sprays should be stopped. The spray pumps are assumed to be running, and the containment pressure is between 3 psig and 60 psig. (Per USAR Figure 6.2.1-6 has the containment pressure at 27 psig and decreasing at 1000 seconds.
This step is assumed to follow the normal path. If 2 or more of the 4 available containment fan coolers are running in emergency mode, only one running spray pump will be required. As noted in USAR § 6.2.1.4.3.2, "Input Parameters and Assumptions," the containment fan coolers are operable using power from the emergency diesel generators. (R0#2)
Step #13 checks if RHR pumps should be stopped. The RHR pumps should continue running, as the RCS has blown down to the bottom of the core and is re-filling. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#2)
Step #14 checks the RCS and SIG Pressures. The RCS pressure is stable or decreasing due to the large double-ended guillotine break in the cold leg. The S/G pressures are not decreasing in an uncontrolled manner. The operator follows the normal path. (R0#1/R0#2)
Step #15 checks whether the diesel generators should be stopped. This scenario assumes that there was a loss of offsite power when the event started. Operators will try to restore offsite power to NB01 and NB02, but until that is successful, the emergency diesel generators will be kept running and loaded to their respective busses. (R0#2)
Step #16 has an operator locally reset and close the boric acid transfer pump breakers and the emergency borate valve breaker. (R0#1/NS0#5/NS0#6) 112
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #17 has the operator close the non-class 1E battery charger breakers. (R0#2)
Step #18 involves checking for the availability of offsite power. The RNO path is to "try to restore offsite power using applicable SYS procedure(s)." One of the additional RNO sub-steps involves energizing the TSC diesel using procedure STN KAT-001, while this procedure continues. (R0#2/NS0#3)
STN KA T-001: (NS0#3)
Operator locally performs the prerequisite checks listed in§ 7, "Prerequisites."*
Operator locally performs § 8.1.1, Testing Installed TSC Diesel Generator OR § 8.2.1, "Testing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator."
Operator locally performs § 8.1.2, "Placing TSC Diesel Generator In-service" OR § 8.2.2, "Placing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator In-service."
Note that if the TSC Diesel Generator runs for more than an hour, refer to Attachment B, "TSC Diesel Generator Reading," or if applicable, Attachment C, "TSC Temporary Diesel Generator Readings," for hourly checks on the diesel generator in question.
EMG E-1 (continued):
Step #19 places the hydrogen analyzers in service. No local actions were identified. (R0#2)
Step #20 verifies cold leg recirculation capability. The USAR Figure 15.6-4 shows recirculation on the RWST low-low-1 level alarm. This scenario assumes no additional complications for conducting this step, so the normal path is followed. (R0#1)
Step #21 checks to see if the fuel/auxiliary building radiation levels are normal. Radiation protection is directed to survey the fuel and auxiliary buildings with priority being pipe penetration areas and piping tunnels. Based on the scenario, a loss of RCS inventory outside of containment is not assumed. The normal path is followed. (R0#2/RP#2)
Step #22 requests chemistry obtain boron and activity samples for the RCS and pressurizer liquid space. (R0#2/CH/RP#2)
Step #23 initiates evaluation of plant status. (R0#2/CRS/NS0#5) Based on the scenario, this step is assumed to follow the normal path. As the basis document notes:
An evaluation of plant equipment available following a LOCA is necessary in determining long-term recovery actions. Hence, this evaluation is initiated at this time and any additional equipment that would assist in the plant recovery is started.
Perform step #23.c RNO for SFP cooling.
113
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #24 checks to see if the RCS cooldown and depressurization is complete. Based on the blowdown and refill events, the RCS pressure is less than 325 psig and the operator follows the RNO path to step #25. (R0#1)
Step #25 checks to see if the RWST level is less than 36%. If not, the operator loops back to step #20. Once the RWST level has dropped to less than 36%, the operator goes to procedure EMG ES-12, "Transfer to Cold Leg Recirculation," step #1. It should be noted that USAR Table 6.2.1-7, "Chronology of Events, DEPSG Break w/Max SI," which is one of the potential large-break LOCA scenarios, shows ECCS recirculation could be started as quickly as 849 seconds into the event. (R0#1/CRS)
EMG ES-12:
One of the notes ahead of step #1 cautions that switching to recirculation may cause high radiation in the auxiliary building.
Step #1 resets all SI signals. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #2 verifies CCW to the RHR heat exchangers. Based on the scenario description, this step is assumed to proceed normally. The RNO path (not followed) has cautionary remarks about radiation levels if valves needed to be locally opened. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #3 ensures both CCW from spent fuel pool heat exchangers are closed. Again, based on the scenario description, this step is assumed to proceed normally. The RNO path (not followed) has cautionary remarks about radiation levels if valves needed to be locally closed.
(R0#1/CRS)
Steps #4 and #5 verify the "red train" and "yellow train" RWST switchovers have occurred (e.g.,
suction is now being pulled from the containment sump rather than the RWST). The operator follows the normal path for both steps. The RNO paths have manual operations, but no local operations were identified. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #6 checks to see that the RHR pumps are both running. For this scenario, the step is assumed to proceed normally. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #7 involves closing both RHR train hot leg recirculation valves. The operator follows the normal path. The RNO path (not followed) has cautionary remarks about radiation levels if valves need to be locally closed. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #8 isolates SI pump miniflow to the RWST (to prevent release of containment sump water to the RWST). This step is assumed to follow the normal path. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #9 aligns the CCP and SI pump suctions to the RHR pump discharge and is assumed to follow the normal path. The RNO path (not followed) has cautionary remarks about radiation levels if valves need to be locally opened. (R0#1/CRS) 114
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #10 isolates the RWST from charging and SI pumps, and is assumed to follow the normal path. The RNO path (not followed) has cautionary remarks about radiation levels if valves need to be locally closed. (R0#1/CRS)
At this point, Functional Restoration (FR) procedures may now be implemented as required by EMG F-0, Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSFST). (R0#1/CRS - RO only for duration of ES-12)
Step #11 checks to see if phase A, phase 8 and containment spray actuation can be reset.
Given this scenario, it's assumed that the containment spray pumps are running. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #12 checks to see if containment spray system should be aligned for recirculation. Once the RWST level reaches 12%, actions in step #13 align the containment spray system for recirculation. Both steps follow the normal path. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #14 checks to see if the spray additive tank should be isolated. (R0#1/CRS) The normal path is followed. The function of the spray additive tank, per USAR § 6.5.2.2.1, "General Description," is:
The containment spray additive portion of the CSS provides for eduction of 30 weight percent (nominal) sodium hydroxide into the spray injection water. This yields a spray mixture with a pH of from 9. 0 to 11. 0 during the initial period of operation, when radioiodine is being removed from the containment atmosphere.
Step #15 verifies the "red train" and "yellow train" flow paths from the sump to the RCS. This step's normal path is followed. (R0#1ICRS)
Step #16 verifies core cooling. However, the RCPs are NOT running (loss of offsite power), so the required RVLIS level would need to be in the natural circulation range. USAR § 18.2.13.2, "The Operating Agent Response" notes that for large-break LOCAs, the RVLIS system is expected to provide unambiguous indications as early as 30 seconds after the initiation of a double-ended guillotine rupture of a main coolant pipe. The operator follows the normal path.
(R0#1/CRS)
Step #17 opens the breakers for both CCP suction from RWST valves. (R0#1/NS0#6)
- Step #18 records the time of fuel pool heat exchanger CW isolation in the control room log. At this point, the time elapsed since fuel pool heat exchanger isolation is less than 3.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />, so the RNO path is followed and the operator proceeds to step #19. (R0#1/CRS)
Step #19 monitors for ECCS leakage, which is assumed to be normal for the plant conditions.
(Additional ECCS *1eakage is a more complex event and is beyond the scope of the design basis scenario). (R0#2/CRS)
Step #20 determines if transfer to hot leg recirculation will be required. This procedure has been entered into from EMG E-1, so this follows step the normal path. It should be noted that hot leg recirculation of the sump water normally starts approximately 1O hours following an 115
Analysis 8 Loss of Coolant Accidents On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 accident. See USAR § 6.3.2.5, "System Reliability" for more details on the potential problem of boron precipitation. (R0#1/CRS)
Termination path (expected actions are beyond the 90 minutes of the event).

Analysis 9 Design Basis Fuel Handling Accident On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #9 Design Basis Fuel Handling Accident This is one of the Design-Basis Condition IV Limiting Fault events as listed in the USAR, § 15.0.1.4, "Condition IV - Limiting Faults.".,. USAR § 15.7.4.1, "Identification of Causes and Accident Description" states:
The accident is defined as the dropping of a spent fuel assembly onto the fuel storage area floor or refueling pool floor, resulting in the rupture of the cladding of all the fuel rods in the assembly despite many administrative controls and physical limitations imposed on fuel handling operations. All refueling operations are conducted in accordance with prescribed procedures.
A detailed discussion of potential accidents in this category, including analytical methods used and the scenario consequences expected, can be found in USAR § 15.7.4, "Fuel Handling Accidents" and are diagrammed in USAR Figures 15.0-29, "Fuel Handling Accident Inside Fuel Building" and 15.0-30, "Fuel Handling Accident Inside Containment."
USAR § 15.7.4.2, "Sequence of Events and System Operations" continues:
The postulated fuel handling accident is assumed to occur during a core offload at least 76 hours8.796296e-4 days <br />0.0211 hours <br />1.256614e-4 weeks <br />2.8918e-5 months <br /> after shutdown in either the reactor containment building, or in the fuel building subsequent to the transfer of a fuel assembly through the fuel storage pool transfer gate and prior to placement in a fuei storage pool storage rack designated location.
Although both accidents are Condition IV limiting faults, the radiological consequences of the accident inside containment are more severe than for an accident inside the spent fuel building, as discussed in USAR Tables 15.7-7, "Parameters Used in Evaluating the Radiological Consequences of a Fuel-Handling Accident" and 15.7-8, "Radiological Consequences of a Fuel Handling Accident." Accordingly, the containment building accident is the one selected for analysis in this scenario.
- USAR § 15.7.4.5, "Radiological Consequences," elaborates on the initiating conditions for an accident inside the containment building, involving spent fuel:
During fuel-handling operations, the containment is kept in an isolatable condition, with all penetrations to the outside atmosphere either closed or capable of being closed on an alarm signal from one of the redundant radiation monitors, indicating that radioactivity is above the prescribed limits.
In addition to the area radiation monitors in the containment, portable monitors capable of sounding audible alarms are to be located in the fuel-handling area. Should a fuel assembly be dropped and release activity above a prescribed level, the radiation monitors would sound an audible alarm, the containment would be isolated, and personnel would be evacuated.
During movement of irradiated fuel and core alterations, one door in the emergency air lock must be closed. The other emergency air lock door may be open provided it is 125
Analysis 9 Design Basis Fuel Handling Accident On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 capable of being closed. The equipment hatch may be open provided it is capable of being closed, and penetration flow paths providing direct access may be unisolated under administrative controls. Administrative controls are imposed for the closure of a personnel air Jock door, closure of the equipment hatch, and to isolate open penetration flow paths in the event of a fuel handling accident.
Assumptions and conditions for the accident scenario, per USAR § 15. 7.4.5.1.2, "Assumptions and Conditions" include:
- The dropped fuel assembly is assumed to be the assembly containing the peak fission product inventory. All the fuel rods contained in the dropped assembly are assumed to be damaged. In addition, for the analyses for the accident in the reactor building the dropped assembly is assumed to damage 20 percent of the rods of an additional assembly.
For the inside the reactor building case, the containment personnel airlock doors and equipment hatch are assumed to be open at the time of the accident. For added conservatism, the gaseous effluent escaping from the refueling water pool in the Reactor Containment Building is assumed to be released immediately to the environment through the open personnel and equipment hatch and the adjacent Auxiliary Building without mixing in the surrounding atmosphere. The activity releases continue until the containment personnel airlock doors and equipment hatch are closed (assumed to be accomplished within two hours). The Auxiliary Building atmosphere is normally exhausted through filter absorbers designed to remove iodine. However, no credit is taken for iodine removal by the atmosphere filtration system filters. It is also assumed that no containment coolers or hydrogen mixing fans are operating and 99. 99% of the activity escaping from the pool to the containment building is released to the environment over a two-hour period following the accident.
Additional remarks on the radiological source term can be found in USAR § 15.7.4.5.2, "Identification of Uncertainties and Conservatisms in Analysis."
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, identifies the above as an EAL-7 /
BASES-7, "Fuel Handling Accident." FHA-3 (Radioactivity is released to the Reactor Building) classifies the event as an Alert.
The scenario assumes the reactor is in a refueling outage. The accident occurs while the outage is in Phase Ill - Fuel Handling. As discussed in USAR § 9.1.4.2.3.1, "Fuel Handling System Operations":
The reactor shall be determined to have been subcritica/ for at least 76 hours8.796296e-4 days <br />0.0211 hours <br />1.256614e-4 weeks <br />2.8918e-5 months <br /> by verification of the date and time of sub criticality prior to movement of irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel. With the reactor subcritica/ for Jess than 76 hours8.796296e-4 days <br />0.0211 hours <br />1.256614e-4 weeks <br />2.8918e-5 months <br />, suspend all operations involving movement of irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel. This requirement is consistent with the assumptions of Section 15. 7. 4. 5. 1. 2.
126
Analysis 9 Design Basis Fuel Handling Accident On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 The event as diagrammed in USAR Figure 15.0-30, "Fuel Handling Accident Inside Containment," is assumed to occur at 76 hours8.796296e-4 days <br />0.0211 hours <br />1.256614e-4 weeks <br />2.8918e-5 months <br /> post shutdown. The reactor is in Mode 6, cold shutdown.
This event would not occur when only the minimum on-shift staff is present. In addition, any new fuel received would occur only during the day shift, when additional staff is available to manage the consequences of any potential events.
Given the above constraints, the staffing requirements were not included in the On-Shift Staffing Analysis, since the "minimum on-shift staff' scenario would not apply.
127
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 Event Narrative #10 Aircraft Probable Threat This is a scenario as categorized by the NRG, which is outside the scope of the classical design basis accidents as defined by the USAR.
NEI 10-05 rev O (6/11), "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," discusses analysis of a 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(1) event in § 2.13:
This analysis should include all emergency response actions taken prior to an aircraft impact in accordance with RG 1.214 [an NRG Regulatory Guide with restricted distribution] for an aircraft threat that is greater than 5 minutes, but Jess than 30 minutes, from the site, and should consider the dispersal of the site fire brigades away from target areas for firefighting.
OFN SK-039, "Security Event," classifies aircraft threats in three categories, as defined in § 2.3:
- 1. Imminent threat - the site is in the flight path of a track of interest, the estimated time to the site is 5 minutes or less, and the altitude changes align the aircraft with the site OR there's specific, credible intelligence that a small aircraft presents a greater threat than it!s size would indicate and the estimated time to the site is 5 minutes or Jess. The other paths to an imminent threat declaration are a locally observed large aircraft threat OR upon order from an NRG imminent security threat authority.
- 2. Probable threat - the site is in the flight path of a track of interest, and either the estimated time to the site is more than 5 minutes but Jess than 30 minutes, or the site receives specific, credible intelligence that a small aircraft presents a greater threat than its size would indicate and the estimated time to the site is greater than 5 minutes but Jess than 30 minutes.
- 3. Informational threat - The site is in the flight path of a track of interest and either the estimated time to the site is 30 minutes or more, or the threat is a small aircraft and the site has not received specific, credible intelligence information that the aircraft presents a greater threat than its size would indicated. Another path to an informational threat declaration is a locally observed small aircraft threat.
As noted in OFN SK-039, Attachment B, for an informational threat, the plane is assumed to be smaller than a 737, DC9, MD80, MD90 or 717, and further, that there is no credible information that the smaller aircraft represents a "disproportionate threat" compared to its size.
NEI 12-05 requirements for the 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(1) analysis classify the aircraft event as a "Probable Threat."
For the purposes of this narrative, the scenario assumes that even if the initial aircraft probable threat resolves itself in under an hour, uncertainties about the threat environment 128
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 and the time needed to coordinate across multiple federal agencies will delay final resolution of the event. The 9/11 terrorist attacks help inform the scenario.
This timeline differs from the site's real-world experience with a small aircraft flyover on 6/11/2007, which resolved itself in 30 minutes, but the actual event would have fallen under the lesser "Informational Threat" classification.
Operator actions start with procedure OFN SK-039, "Security Event."
OFN' SK-039:
Step #1 checks for a credible threat. The normal path is followed; the aircraft is considered a probable threat, per NEI 10-05, § 2.13. (SM)
Step #2 has the NRC contacted to relay information on the threat. (SM/NS0#1/2)
Step #3 is a check on the nature of the threat (airborne or non-airborne-based). The RNO path is followed for the airborne threat. (SM)
The operator the goes to Attachment 8, "Response to an Airborne Threat."
Attachment B: Response to an Airborne Threat:
Step #8.1 has the Shift Security Lieutenant notified. Continuous communications with the NRC are established. (SM/NS0#1/2)
Per the NOTES, the shift manager can implement the remaining actions below in the order appropriate for the specific event. The steps from #8.2 through #8.9 should be performed.
Implementing the remaining steps may or may not be desirable, depending on the nature of the specific threat.
Step #8.2 has the authenticity of the report validated. Actions in Attachment 8 continue while the authenticity is validated. (SM)
Step #8.3 has possible protective measures evaluated, using Attachment C, "Guidance for Protective Measures." (SM)
Attachment C: Guidance for Protective Measures For this scenario, the plant is assumed to have been at full power at the start of the event.
The probable threat aircraft is assumed to be inbound, between 5 minutes and 30 minutes out.
Step #C.1 discusses consideration of protective measures for general site personnel. (SM)
Step #C.2 provides a table that lists possible protective measures, factoring in weather conditions and the ETA of the inbound aircraft. (SM) 129
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 If weather conditions are not severe, and the available warning time is between 15 and 30 minutes, the guidelines are to evacuate PAB to the E-plan assembly areas. If the warning time is between 5 and 15 minutes, the guidelines are to shelter in severe weather shelters.
Under adverse weather conditions, step # C.2 has the individuals' shelter in severe weather shelters for both time ranges. (For an imminent threat, which is beyond the scope of this scenario, the guidelines are to shelter in place).
Step #C.3 has operator personnel relocate to the following locations:
- The STA/SE and R0#2 go to the Aux Shutdown Panel.
- The site watch (NS0#3) and any accompanying crew members go to the Circ Water Screen House. (If persons are already at ESW, they stay at ESW).
- The SM or SRO outside the control room, aux building watch, turbine building watch, fire brigade leader and fire brigade members and all other ops personnel, the shift RP and shift chemist, go the GOB 1st floor computer training room across from the heartland cafe by the mail room. (FBL - NS0#4, FBM - NS0#5, FBM -
NS0#6, FBM - NS0#7, FBM - NS0#8, RP and CH)
The operator (SM) then returns to Attachment 8 .
. Attachment B: Response to an Airborne Threat (continued)
Step #8.4 directs that if protective measures are needed, security is to be* notified. The security and plant personnel relocation/evacuation process is started, as necessary.
Notification is performed using the telephone paging system, or by using the plant's Gai-tronics system if the phones don't work. (SM)
Step #8.5 has the shift manager determine the emergency action level of the event. For the scenario specified, APF 06-002-01, "Emergency Action Levels," EAL-9 / 8ASES-9, "Loss of Plant Control/ Security Compromise," under LPC/SC2, "Security Hostile Action declared
- in accordance with WCGS Safeguard Contingency Plan," would classify this event as an Alert. (SM/NS0#1/2)
Steps #8.6 and #8. 7 are skipped. The former assumes the plant is in a refueling outage; the latter discusses an "Imminent Airborne Threat." Neither assumption reflects the scenario being analyzed for this narrative.
Step #8.8 has the operator (CRS/R0#1) commence a rapid down-power of the reactor, per procedure OFN MA-038, "Rapid Plant Shutdown," concurrently with this procedure.
Step #8.8 continues with directions to Security to implement a site lighting blackout. An operator places the control room in CRVIS lineup. This narrative assumes the operator doesn't have time to follow the normal procedures for a CRVIS lineup, (SYS GK-122 and SYS GK-123), so the CRVIS is manually actuated. (SM)
Step #8.9 is skipped. The step is relevant for an "Informational Airborne Threat," which is not the scenario analyzed here.
130
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 As noted in the NOTES before step #8.2, performing the remaining steps in this attachment may or may not be desirable, depending on the nature of the specific threat.
Step #810 has an operator (CRS/R0#1) ensure that the reliability of off-site power sources is maintained.
Step #8.11 has an operator (CRS/R0#1) ensure that both emergency diesel generators are in standby.
Step #8.12 has an operator (CRS/R0#1) ensure that the site has backed out of/stopped in-progress surveillance testing/maintenance. Equipment is to be returned to functional status.
Step #8.13 starts the motor driven fire pump or diesel driven fire pump. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.14 instructs to place a temporary fire pump in service, if installed. (This scenario assumes the regular fire pumps are in service, so this step is skipped).
Step #8.15 checks for restoration of inoperable ECCS equipment. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.16 has an operator close the control room missile door. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.17 checks for securing the containment pump and verifying that containment penetrations are closed. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.18 checks to ensure that systems are available for reactor shutdown and A TWS.
(CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.19 checks to maximize makeup water sources and systems, and ensure that all tanks are at their maximum level. (CRS/R0#1/NS0#5/NS0#6, if available)
Step #8.20 ensures that decay heat removal systems are available. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.21 (if plant conditions permit), checks to isolate the spent fuel pool cleanup systems. (CRS/R0#1/NS0#6, if available)
Step #8.22 (as plant conditions allow), checks to shutdown ventilation systems, secures all possible site building fans, and minimizes the number of operating turbine building fans.
(CRS/R0#1)
Step #8.23 jumps back to the mainline procedure, step #18.
OFN SK-039: (continued)
Step #18 is a check to see that the security event is terminated. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #19. Step #19 is expected to occur beyond the first 90 minutes of the event.
OFN MA-038: (CRS/R0#1, everyone else is sheltered or use as available) 131
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 This step occurs during OFN SK-039, step #8.8, which is implemented concurrently. The unloading rate is greater than the 1% per minute of a normal shutdown, but does not exceed 5% per minute. This rate limit is to reduce the risk of turbine vibration during the down-power. See the procedures basis document for more information.
Step #1 has an operator determine the turbine unloading method to be used. Use of AUTO is assumed, in order to reduce the operator workload.
Step #2 has an operator set the turbine for automatic unloading. The normal path is followed.
Step #2.c has an operator borate the reactor cooling system (RCS) and adjusts the control rods, taking advantage of the automated control systems.
Steps #2.d through #6 has an operator energize the pressurizer backup heaters to limit the drop in pressurizer pressure as Tavg is decreased. The pressurizer PORVs are checked to verify pressure; valves and block valves are aligned as necessary. The operator checks the trending of the pressurizer pressure and level. The RNO paths, if they had been followed, would have required manual operations but no local operations were identified.
Step #7 has an operator check the S/G levels. The automatic level control system should be maintaining the proper S/G level. The RNO path, if followed, would have an operator taking manual control of the main feed regulating valves. The scenario assumes the normal path is taken.
Step #8 has an operator notify radiation protection that increased monitoring of potentially changing radiation levels in the RCS and other connecting systems is needed (the driving concern here is over the potential for a crud burst). This step does not require any monitoring while personnel are sheltered.
Step #11 has an operator enable the turbine high vibration trip, per Attachment B, "Restoring Turbine High Vibration Trip."
Attachment B: (may be deferred until sheltering is complete)
The operator jumps to the mainline procedure, continuing with step #12.
Step #12 has an operator check whether the generator is being taken offline. For this scenario, the assumption is the reactor is going to be tripped, shutdown and brought to hot standby. The normal path is followed and the generator is to be taken offline.
Step #13 has an operator begin removing the 2nd stage re-heaters from service, using procedure SYS AC-322, "MSR 2nd Stage Reheat Operations.".,. The note before this procedure step advises, "During an emergency shutdown, if time is not available to completely cool-down the reheat lines the shutdown should not be delayed." Step #13 is deferred until sheltering is complete.
132
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 Step #14 checks for reactor power less than 60%. The ultimate end point of this narrative is assumed to be a reactor that is shut down and at hot standby, so this step acts as a "hold point" before continuing with step #16.
Step #15 checks whether one main feedwater pump should be stopped, but this step may be bypassed at the option of the CRS. Given the time constraints, the operator bypasses this step.
Step #16 checks if the heater drain should be stopped, but this step may be bypassed at the option of the CRS. The operators are assumed pressed for time, so this step is bypassed.
Step #17 checks for reactor power less than 30%. This is a hold point before continuing with step #18.
Step #24 is conducted at the direction of the SM/CRS per RNO step #18, while continuing with the remaining steps of the procedure. Based on the procedure's basis document, feedwater preheating is not placed in-service, because we're headed for reactor shutdown rather than attempting to keep the plant operating at low power levels for a sustained piece of time.
The auxiliary boiler is assumed not started due to time constraints.
(These actions do increase the risk of SIG level instability during the down-power).
Step #25 has the operator transfer feedwater control to the bypass valves. The main feed regulating bypass valves are placed in automatic. (The scenario assumes that controls are placed in automatic to reduce the workload on the operator).
Step #26 checks to see if rod control should be placed in manual. Rod control is placed in manual once reactor power is at 15% (the C-5 interlock lights). Control rods are adjusted to.
maintain the desired reactor power (which in this scenario is to shutdown the reactor to hot standby). A recorder has its ranges transferred appropriate to the new power level.
Step #27 has the operator transfer loads to the startup transformer, as the final desired turbine load is less than 180 MW(e). Here, the final turbine load is to zero, as the reactor is brought to shutdown, hot standby.
Step #28 checks for reactor power between 8% and 10%. For this scenario, this will be treated as a "hold point", as the reactor is trending to shutdown and the reactor power will not be maintained stable between 8% and 5%. Once the reactor power is less than 8%, the operator continues with step #36.a.
Step #36.a has an RNO path to manually trip the reactor, using procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection." The RNO path is followed, given the scenario assumptions. At this point, further actions are assumed to be beyond the first hour of the event.
133
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 Termination path (expected actions are beyond the first 90 minutes of the event):
OFN SK-039:
Steps #19 through #21 (the procedures end-point). The longer-term closure of this event is assumed to involve termination of the security event and making "all clear announcements over the telephone paging system or plant Gai-tronics system, making necessary offsite notifications, making e-plan announcements and executing the plant's accountability process.
OFN MA-038:
Step #13 has an operator begin removing the 2nd stage re-heaters from service, using procedure SYS AC-322, "MSR 2nd Stage Reheat Operations." The note before this procedure step advises, "During an emergency shutdown, if time is not available to completely cool-down the reheat lines the shutdown should not be delayed."
Step #15, which was bypassed earlier due to time constraints, is conducted now. One main feedwater pump is stopped, using Attachment A, "Shutdown of One Main Feedwater Pump."
Step #16,
- which was bypassed earlier due to time constraints, is conducted now. One heater drain pump is stopped.
SYS AC-322:
This procedure provides instructions for removing the second stage reheaters from service at power. The cool-down rate is not to exceed 125°F / hour, a process which typically takes 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to complete. Operations in this procedure are assumed to be local.
This procedure begins with step #6.1, "Removing 2nd Stage Reheat from Service."
Step #6.1.1 has an operator at the MSR control panel ensure that the main steam supply low load valves air-loading controllers are in manual. The operator hooks up a laptop if a LAN connection is installed, or contacts the control room if a LAN connection is not available. The operator continues at the MSR control panel, slowly opening the main steam supply load valves until the valves are full open.
Step #6.1.3 has the operator record temperatures every 5 minutes using Attachment A, "Hot Reheat Line to CIV Temperatures (3.1.3)," until the temperatures stabilize.
The CAUTION statement remarks that the low load valves should be adjusted to ensure the rate of change of temperature and difference in temperature between systems is within limits. The cool-down process is expected to take 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. The NOTE statement references the valve locations and the need to monitor MSR outlet temperatures with a laptop or through maintaining communications with the control room.
Steps #6.1.4 through #6.1.6 involve closing the main steam supply load valves, decreasing the reheat inlet manual loading regulator pressure to zero, closing the main steam supply to 134
Analysis 10 Aircraft Probable Threat On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision1 MSR 2nd stage isolation, and removing the 2nd stage reheater from service. Step #6.1.6 is the last step conducted in this procedure.
EMG E-0:
The reactor is tripped and this procedure is followed to bring the reactor to hot standby.
Ultimately, a decision is made by a cognizant authority as to whether to bring the plant back to power or bring the plant to cold shutdown.

Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #11 Station Blackout Station blackout is considered a "Beyond Design Basis" accident that is outside the scope of USAR § 15.0, "Accident Analysis." The regulatory basis for addressing "Loss of all alternating current power AKA "station blackout" is specified in 10 CFR 50.63 and described in NRC Reg Guide 1.155, "Station Blackout":
The term "station blackout" refers to the complete loss of alternating current electric power to the essential and nonessential switchgear buses in a nuclear power plant.
Station blackout therefore involves the loss of offsite power concurrent with turbine trip and failure of the onsite emergency ac power system, but not the loss of available ac power to buses fed by station batteries through inverters or the loss of power from "alternate ac sources. *~
The Reg Guide continues:
Because many safety systems required for reactor core decay heat removal and containment heat removal are dependent on ac power, the consequences of a station blackout could be severe. In the event of a station blackout, the capability to cool the reactor core would be dependent on the availability of systems that do not require ac power from the essential and nonessential switchgear buses and on the ability to restore ac power in a timely manner.
As a minimum, the following potential causes for loss of offsite power should be considered:
- 1. Grid under-voltage and collapse
- 2. Weather-induced power loss
- 3. Preferred power distribution system faults (includes such failures as the distribution system hardware, switching and maintenance errors, and lightning-induced faults) that could result in the loss of normal power to essential switchgear buses.
The evaluation should be performed assuming that the station blackout event occurs while the reactor is operating at 100% rated thermal power and has been at this power level for at least 100 days.
USAR § Appendix 8.3A addresses the station blackout capacity of the plant. The WCGS electrical power system reliability and environmental characteristics were evaluated in USAR § 8.3A.3.1, "AC Power Design Characteristic Group":
Group P1 includes those sites characterized by redundant and independent power sources that are considered less susceptible to loss as a result of plant-centered and weather-initiated events. Based upon NUMARC 87-00 guidance, Wolf Creek is determined to be in AC Power Design Characteristic Group, P1.
144
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 USAR § 8.3A.3.2, "Emergency AC Power Configuration Group," continues:
Wolf Creek is determined to be in the emergency AC power configuration group C (EAC Group CJ. After the likelihood of losing off-site power, the redundancy of the emergency AC power system is the next most important contributor to station blackout risk. With greater EAC system redundancy, the potential for station blackout diminishes, as does the likelihood of core damage. The importance of EAC redundancy is reflected through the use of four distinct EAC configuration groups. Those sites in group C have typical redundant and independent EAC sources to safe shutdown equipment.
The Wolf Creek designation of Group C is based on the following:
- 2) One emergency AC power supply is necessary to operate safe shutdown equipment following a Joss of off-site power.
The conclusion was made that WCGS could sustain a station blackout condition for up to four (4) hours.
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, identifies this as an EAL-6 / BASES-6, "Loss of Electrical Power/Assessment Capability." LEP/AC4 classifies the event as a Site Area Emergency. This scenario assumes the power is recovered within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. If it is determined that a station blackout would continue for more than 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, the event would escalate to a General Emergency.
Consistent with assumptions described in Reg Guide 1.155, Appendix B, "Guidance Regarding System and Station Equipment Specifications," the initiating event and analysis is assumed to involve a station blackout, without the additional complications of a design-basis accident.
For this event, the operators start with procedure EMG E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection."
(A loss of all power will cause the control rods to drop automatically).
EMG E-0:
Steps #1 (R0#1) (verify reactor trip) and #2 (R0#2) (verify turbine trip) follow the normal path.
Step #3 (R0#1) involves checking the AC emergency busses. The normal path assumes at least one AC emergency bus is energized. Since this event involves a station blackout, the RNO path is followed instead. The emergency diesel generators fail to energize any AC emergency bus. The operator then goes to procedure EMG C-0, "Loss of All AC Power."
EMG C-0:
EMG C-0 starts with the caution "Accident conditions can cause higher than normal radiation levels. Radiation protection monitoring may be required while performing local operator actions."
145
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #1 (R0#1) and #2 (R0#2) are duplicative of the above EMG E-0 steps #1 and #2, and were added to this procedure in case an operator (seeing the loss of power), jumped to EMG C-O directly rather than going through EMG E-0 first.
Step #3 (R0#2) provides a cautionary remark on indications of potential steam leakby powering the turbine and requests the operator verify the generator and exciter breakers are open, to avoid the generator being "motored." The RNO path lists manual operations, but no local operations were identified.
Step #4 (R0#1/NS0#5) involves checking if the RCS is isolated. The last sub-step requires an operator to locally close the RCS and pressurizer sample line isolation valves at 3 locations in the aux building.
Steps #5 - #7 - the RNO paths have manual operations, but no local operations were identified.
(R0#2) Bus fault clearance can be performed by NSO if required.
Step #8 evaluates the availability of EDG's. (R0#1/NS0#6)
Step #9 involves manually starting both diesel generators from the control room. The RNO path goes to procedure OFN KJ-032, "Local Emergency Diesel Startup,") if starting the diesels from the control room fails. EMG C-0 steps continue concurrently with OFN KJ-032. (R0#2/NS0#6)
OFN KJ-032:
An operator (NS0#6) attempts to start both diesel generators locally. (For this analysis, "Fire in the Control Room," is outside the scope of the event).
The procedure outlines manual operations (NS0#6) to try to start emergency diesel generator A using a mallet switch, then by trying a local start pushbutton, then by trying an air start valve.
The last RNO step, if emergency diesel generator A fails to start, is to notify mechanical maintenance with a repair request. The same chain of events is followed for attempts to start emergency diesel generator B. Repair will occur when augmented staff arrives.
For this analysis, it's assumed that neither emergency diesel generator starts. Mechanical maintenance is contacted to repair both of the generators. Mitigating actions will continue and repair will occur when augmented staff arrives. The operator jumps back to procedure EMG C-
.Q, Step #10 which is already in progress.
EMG C-0:
Step #10 involves ensuring electrical power to at least one emergency bus. Based on the scenario, the RNO path is followed. Any emergency diesel generators that had been successfully started, but weren't able to be loaded onto a bus are stopped. The RNO path continues, with an operator trying to energize affected AC busses from any available power supply, going with procedure OFN NB-030, "Loss of AC Emergency Bus NB01 (NB02)," while continuing with the current procedure. (R0#1/NS0#6) 146
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 OFN NB-030:
Step #1, the RNO path, directs anyone entering into this procedure from EMG C-0 to jump immediately to Attachment A, Step #A14 (for NB01) or Attachment B, step #814 (for NB02).
(Extra RO/NSO)
Step #A14 checks the bus lockout relay. The RNO path acts to shut down the emergency diesel generators if they had started but were unable to load to the NE01 and NE02 busses.
(Extra RO/NSO)
Step #A 15, the RNO path, assumes the emergency diesel generators are not running, which is consistent with the scenario. There are attempts to energize NB01 from a non-diesel source, XNB01 or XNB02 (Engineered Safety Features transformers). There are also discussions on trying to start emergency diesel generator "A", following the same procedure as was previously discussed in EMG C-0, Step #8; those actions are therefore assumed to already be in progress.
(Extra RO/NSO)
Step #A 16 checks if NB01 is energized from NE01. The RNO path assumes that NB01 is NOT energized (emergency diesel generator A hasn't started). There are also actions to reset the anti-pumping circuit, by ensuring the NB01 normal, alternate and emergency supply breakers are properly set. Given the station blackout scenario, NB01 is assumed not energized. (Extra RO/NSO)
Step #A 17 has steps to manually energize the NB01 bus; the RNO path is followed and the emergency diesel generators are assumed to not be running. (Extra RO/NSO)
Step #A 18 starts a search for any available offsite power. (See USAR § 8.2, "Offsite Power Systems," for a description of the available ac power sources). Following the RNO path that the ESF transformer is not energized by offsite power, the event assumes that the SL? bus (13.8 kV) is not energized either. The next RNO sub-step, #A 18(b)(2) is to perform procedure SYS SY-120, "Sharpe Diesel Operation and Alignment to Site," to energize XNB01. (Extra RO/NSO)
SYS SY-120:
SYS SY-120 provides the instructions to "black-start" the Sharpe Diesel to provide power to the Wolf Creek Switchyard. Note that the Sharpe Station can only supply one NB bus. NB01 is preferred over NB02. (Extra RO/NSO)
For the purpose of this analysis, per Reg Guide 1.155, § B, "Discussion," and consistent with the 10 CFR 50.2 definitions for "Alternate ac source" and "Station blackout," the operations of SYS SY-120 are assumed successful.
- The SYS SY-120 procedure starts with step 6.1, "Sharpe Diesel Generator Availability Checks,"
which requires local operations in the Sharpe sub-station house. The substation north of Sharpe Station is checked for items that could degrade the ability of the Sharpe Station to provide power to Wolf Creek. (Extra RO/NSO) 147
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step 6.2 involves "Starting the Diesels." The 69 kV bus breakers are opened. Also, Westar and Lyon Coffey Electric Coop are directed to take actions. The remaining actions are performed in the Sharpe sub-station house. Operations include starting the Sharpe diesel and closing feeder breakers. (R0#1/NS0#3)
Step 6.3 involves "Aligning Sharpe Diesels to NB01 / NB02." Note that Attachment C of OFN NB-030 has nearly identical steps listed, but since the operator is already in the switchyard, this procedure's series of steps should be followed when energizing the bus. Breakers are manipulated in the switchyard. Bus-side disconnects using hot sticks are performed by qualified individuals. Also, Lyon Coffey Electric Coop is directed to take actions. Various breakers continue to be manipulated as an NB bus is supplied (NB01 is preferred over NB02).
(R0#1/NS0#3)
After a 2-minute delay, the operator jumps back to procedure OFN NB-030.
OFN NB-030:
Continuing with step #A 18, using the RNO path, the operator goes to the next step. (R0#1)
Step #A 19 re-energizes the NB01 bus from the offsite power supply. (If that fails, the RNO path is to re-energize NB02). Based on the scenario, re-energizing NB01 is assumed successful.
The procedure jumps to step #A24. (R0#1)
- Step #A24 has a check that EMG C-0, "Loss of All AC Power," is not in effect. The RNO path has a provision that if bus NB02 is not energized (it isn't; the Sharpe Diesel can energize either NB01 or NB02, but not both simultaneously), the RNO path sends the operator (R0#1) to step
- 814 to try to energize NB02.
Step #814 checks the NB02 bus lockout relays. (R0#1)
Step #815 checks for a running emergency diesel generator NE02. Based on the scenario, the RNO path is followed and NE02 cannot be started from the control room. Procedure OFN KJ-032, local emergency diesel startup would normally be followed, however this step has already been executed using EMG C-0, Step #8. (R0#1/NS0#1/2) The next action jumps to step #818.
Step #818 checks to see if a normal offsite power supply is available. Per the scenario, it is not and the RNO path is followed. (R0#1) The next action jumps to step #820.
Step #820 checks for alternate offsite power. (R0#1) A sub-step checks that XNB01 is energized from offsite power. The RNO path jumps to Attachment C, "Placing XNB01 on SL?,"
however as noted above, Step #6.3 of procedure SYS SY-120 has already executed this step.
Continue to step #821.
Step #821 checks for the ability to energize NB02. Based on the RNO path and the constraint that the Sharpe diesel can energize either NB01 or NB02, but not both simultaneously, the actions for this procedure "loops" steps #815 through #823 until NB02 can be energized (either using offsite power or by getting emergency diesel generator NE02 started and successfully loaded to the bus). (R0#1/NS0#1/2) 148
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #824 is to check that EMG C-0, "Loss of All AC Power" is not in effect. The RNO path is to return to the calling procedure and step in effect. Based on the scenario, the operator jumps to procedure EMG C-0, step #9, which was already in progress. As the basis document notes, "if power is available to only one train, the operator should initiate attempts to restore power to the other train while continuing in the procedure to deal with the emergency condition." (R0#1)
EMG C-0:
Based on Reg Guide 1.155, no complicating 'design basis events' have occurred concurrently with the station blackout, so any RNO paths involving non-blackout-related equipment malfunctions, fuel damage, etc., or other situations that could place the plant into a design-basis or beyond-design-basis accident are outside the scope of this scenario.
Step #11 checks that at least one NB bus is energized. Here the RNO path is followed, based on the emergency busses NB01 ad NB02 not being energized yet. (R0#1/NS0#4) The actions jump to step #14.
Steps #15 has the operator place the ECCS pump switches and other equipment in the "pull to lock" position, in order to defeat automatic loading of large loads on the AC emergency bus.
(R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #16 has operators locally close valves to isolate the reactor coolant pump seals.
(R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #17 checks if AC power can be restored within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. (STA/NS0#7/NS0#8)
Step #18 evaluates whether the TSC diesel and/or a diesel driven fire pump should be started.
(NS0#3) The bus supplying the motor driven fire pump is checked to see if it is energized.
Another check is made to determine whether the permanent diesel driven fire pump is running.
The RNO path regarding the permanent diesel driven fire pump is to place a temporary diesel driven fire pump in-service per SYS FP-290, "Temporary Fire Pump Operations." For this particular scenario, the permanent diesel driven fire pump is assumed to be properly running.
This event assumes loss of offsite power, so the site watch (NS0#3) is directed to start the TSC diesel using procedure STN KAT-001, "Technical Support Diesel Generator Operation."
STN KA T-001:
An operator locally performs the prerequisite checks listed in§ 7, "Prerequisites." (NS0#3)
An operator locally performs § 8.1.1, "Testing Installed TSC Diesel Generator" OR § 8.2.1, "Testing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator." (NS0#3)
An operator locally performs § 8.1.2, "Placing TSC Diesel Generator In-service" OR § 8.2.2, "Placing Temporary TSC Diesel Generator In-service." (NS0#3)
Note that if the TSC Diesel Generator runs for more than an hour, then refer to Attachment 8, "TSC Diesel Generator Reading,", or if applicable, Attachment C, "TSC Temporary Diesel Generator Readings," to conduct hourly checks on the diesel generator in question.
149
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 EMG C-0 (continued):
Step #19 involves operators (NS0#6) establishing emergency ventilation to provide emergency cooling to vital plant equipment. An operator is dispatched to locally open doors for the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Room using Attachment A, "Door Alignment in Auxiliary Feedwater Corridor for Loss of All AC." (Attachment A identifies specific locations of the doors and is a single page long). An operator also opens cabinet doors and control building doors, using Attachment B, "Door Alignment in Control Room for Loss of All AC" (Attachment B identifies equipment cabinet and control building door locations and is 3 pages long). Security will be performing compensatory measures.
Step #20 checks whether the safety injection (SI) accumulator tank outlet isolation valves are open. (R0#2)
Step #21 checks to see if the condensate storage tank (CST) is isolated from the hotwell. The RNO path has an operator locally close the isolation valves. (R0#2/NS0#6)
Step #22 checks to ensure the main steam line isolation valves, main steam line isolation bypass valves and main steam line low point drain valves are closed. The RNO path for isolating the bypass valves is having an operator locally closing the valves. The RNO path for isolating the drain valves is to have an operator locally close the valves. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #23 verifies feedwater isolation. The RNO path for most of the sub-steps is manually closing the valves. Sub.:.step (e) RNO path has a further step to have an operator locally isolate the main feedwater chemical injection valves. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #24 verifies blowdown isolation on all SIG's. The RNO path has the operator try to close the valves manually. If that fails, an operator locally isolates the lines. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Step #25 checks to see whether the SIG's are faulted. The scenario assumes the SIGs are intact, as there is no design-basis or beyond-design-basis accident to complicate matters.
(R0#2)
Step #26 checks to see whether the SIG tubes are intact. Radiation protection is directed to survey steam lines in Area 5 of the Auxiliary building, and to locally check SIG steam line radiation monitors and turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump exhaust levels. The normal path is followed ("no complicating design basis events.") (R0#2/RP#2)
Step #27 checks for intact SIG levels. The normal path is followed for this scenario. (R0#2)
Step #28 has operators (R0#2/NS0#4) locally shed non-essential AC and DC loads, using Attachment C, "AC and DC Load Shedding." This step also discusses disconnecting the NK batteries from the bus when the voltage drops below 105 VDC. Design capacity of the Class 1E batteries is 240 minutes, so this voltage drop is not expected to be an issue during the first hour of the event.
Step #29 to depressurize the main generator is assumed conducted after the first hour.
Step #30 checks the condensate storage tank level. Thus, the normal path is followed. (R0#2) 150
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #31 and #32 monitor the RCS inventory and checks if intact S/G~s should be depressurized to 310 psig. The scenario assumes a normal cooldown, so the operator follows the normal path. No local operations have been identified for either step. (R0#2)
Step #33 checks if reactor is subcritical. (R0#1)
Step #34 checks if S/G depressurization should be stopped. (R0#1)
Step #35 checks for SI signal actuation. The scenario assumes the RNO path this early in the event, given an assumed cooldown rate no greater than 100 °F/hr. (R0#1)
Step #36 resets SI. (R0#1)
Step #37 verifies containment isolation phase A. This step has manual operator actions.
(R0#1/NS0#5)
Step #38 verifies containment purge isolation. (R0#2)
Step #39 verifies containment isolation phase B - not required. (R0#2)
Step #40 checks core temperature < 1200°F (this tests for a severe accident). The scenario assumes a station blackout without the additional complications of a design-basis or beyond design-basis accident, per Reg Guide 1.555. The normal path is followed. (R0#1)
Step #41 checks plant conditions. RNO path directs to go to Step #43. (R0#2)
Step #43 monitors the spent fuel pool parameters and is assumed conducted after the first hour.
(R0#2)
Step #44 checks to see if emergency AC power is restored yet. The scenario assumes a station blackout, so the RNO path is followed. Sub-part (a) of the RNO path includes operator steps to check the status of local actions, and to locally check the boric acid tank (BAT) temperatures. (R0#2/NS0#5)
Operator loops back to step #25, "Check if S/Gs are not Faulted" and continues the loop until the Step #44 question, "Check if AC Emergency Power is Restored" can be answered with a normal path. (R0#1/R0#2/CRS)
Termination path (expected actions are beyond the first 90 minutes of the event):
EMG C-0 Step #30 has operators check CST to AFP suction header pressure. The RNO path has operators locally close valves to the condensate store tank, acquire appropriate tooling from an emergency locker, and connect a fire hose. Once the fire hose is connected, operator ensures diesel driven pump is. running, locally operate valves and pressurize the fire hose.
(R0#2/NS0#3/NS0#5/NS0#6) 151
Analysis 11 Station Blackout On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #43 checks the spent fuel pool level. The normal path is assumed to be followed at this stage of the scenario, since this procedure's Figure 1, "SFP Time to Boil" graph shows boiling doesn't start to occur until at least 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> into the event. (NS0#5)
The longer-term closure to this event is assumed to involve executing Steps #45 to #54 of this procedure. Operator actions specifically include, stabilizing S/G pressures, re-setting safety injection to permit manual loading of equipment on the AC emergency bus, loading up equipment on energized AC emergency busses (once the busses are restored), re-energizing DC loads and battery chargers, restoring power to Security inverters and verifying the Red Train and Yellow Train ESW operations.
At the end of step #54, sub-step (d), the operator is assumed to ultimately jump to procedure EMG CS-01, "Loss of All AC Power Recovery Without SI Required," step #1, to close out the event.

Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Event Narrative #12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation And Remote Shutdown This is a scenario as categorized by the NRG, which is outside the scope of the classical design basis accidents as defined by the USAR.
As noted in USAR § 1.2.6, "Plant Instrumentation and Control Systems":
Additional controls at appropriate locations outside the control room (in particular, an auxiliary shutdown panel in the auxiliary building) ensure the capability of reaching and maintaining a post-accident or post-fire shutdown condition in the unlikely event that the control room becomes uninhabitable.
USAR Table 7.4-1.1, "Auxiliary Shutdown Panel Controls and Monitoring Instruments," list the controls and monitoring indications available at the plant. USAR Table 7.4-1.2, "Controls at Switchgear Motor Control Centers, and Other Locations," identifies other locations available to support remote shutdown of the plant.
USAR §7.4.6 discusses the problem of "Safe Shutdown from Outside the Control Room,"
including identifying the locations and capabilities of the remote shutdown panels.
If temporary evacuation of the control room is required because of some abnormal plant condition, the operators can establish and maintain the plant in a hot standby condition from outside the control room through the use of controls located at the auxiliary shutdown panel, at the switchgear, or at motor control centers, and other local stations.
Hot standby is a stable plant condition, automatically reached following plant shutdown.
The hot standby condition can be maintained safely for an extended period of time. In the unlikely event that access to the control room is restricted, the plant can be safely kept at a hot standby, until the control room can be reentered, by the use of the essential monitoring indicators and the controls listed in Tables 7.4-1.1 and 7.4-1.2.
The auxiliary shutdown panel room is located in the northeast comer of the auxiliary building one level below the control room at Elevation 2026. There are two distinct auxiliary shutdown panels at this location; one panel is associated with instrumentation and control circuits used for controlling safe shutdown equipment in train A, and the other panel is associated with instrumentation and control circuits used for controlling safe shutdown equipment in train B. Both panels are electrically separated and are associated with the same safety-grade circuits that serve their respective trains.
The auxiliary shutdown panel design also provides electrical isolation of instrumentation and control circuits for the equipment controlled between train B auxiliary shutdown panel and the control room. Switches are provided on B auxiliary shutdown panel to isolate and remove control from the control room for the train B safe shutdown
- equipment necessary to take the plant to and maintain the plant in a safe hot standby condition independent of the control room. This capability is assured in the event a postulated fire causes damage in the control room and subsequent evacuation of the operators.
161
Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 USAR Table 9.5.2-1, "Communications Systems in Plant Areas Required to be Manned for Post Fire Safe Shutdown Following Control Room Evacuation," lists locations around the plant and communications equipment available for responding to this category of event.
Document APF 06-002-01, Emergency Action Levels, identifies this as an EAL-9 / BASES-9, "Loss of Plant Control/Security Compromise." LPC/SC5 classifies the event as an Alert.
Should establishing control at the auxiliary shutdown panel require more than 15 minutes, LPC/SC6 escalates the event to a Site Area Emergency.
Operator actions start with procedure OFN RP-017, "Control Room Evacuation."
OFN RP-017:
The procedure starts with a note prefacing Step #1:
The fire brigade is dedicated to fighting the Control Room fire. They are not responsible for performing any of the operator actions described in this procedure.
Step #1 - The scenario evaluated here postulates that the control room has a fire and that loss of the control room controls is imminent. The scenario is not so drastic as to assume an "instant evacuation" of the control room is required, so the normal path is followed. (SM)
Step #2 has the operator trip the reactor. (R0#1)
Step #3 has the operator close MSIVs. (R0#2)
R0#2 and STA are now available to perform OFN Auxiliary and Turbine Building actions.
Step #4 on the normal path has an operator make an announcement over the Gai-tronics that the control room is being evacuated due to the fire. The fire brigade is called out. Fire brigade response actions are detailed in procedure AP 10-106, "Fire Preplans." (SM)
At this point, the plant is at an ALERT. The control room is being evacuated. Should the operators be unable to establish control of the plant at the remote shutdown panel within 15 minutes, the plant will escalate this to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY.
Step #4.d.2 has the offsite communicator make pre-approved ALERT or SITE AREA EMERGENCY notification, as appropriate, for the plant conditions. (NS0#1/2)
Step #5 has the CRS obtain dosimetry and protective equipment from the control room emergency locker. CAS personnel receive directions, various breakers are switched off, a radio is picked up, and Attachment A, "SRO Actions,", is entered.
Step #6.A has the operator performing turbine building actions, proceed to PA01/PA02 and perform actions of ATTACHMENT B, TURBINE BUILDING ACTIONS. (STA)
Step #6.B has the reactor operator proceed to NK switchgear rooms and perform actions of ATTACHMENT C, REACTOR OPERATOR ACTIONS. (R0#1) 162
Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Step #6.C has the operator performing aux building actions, proceed to 2026' RDMG set room and perform actions of ATTACHMENT D, AUXILIARY BUILDING ACTIONS. (R0#2)
Step #6.D has the offsite communicator proceed to TSC. (NS0#1/2)
Step #6.E has the ENS communicator proceed to TSC and establish and maintain continuous communications with the NRC via the ENS emergency telecommunications system (ETS) telephone. (NS0#1/2)
Step #6.F has operator closing BN HV-8812A, RWST to RHR PUMP A SUCTION ISOLATION VALVE proceed to ESF switchgear room 8 and perform actions of ATTACHMENT E, BN HV-8812A AND AUX FEEDWATER VALVE CLOSURE. (Extra RO/NSO)
If the supply of operators is constrained, the steps in Attachment F, "Actions to Protect Train A Equipment" are deferred until all of the steps in Attachments A through E are complete. If there are available personnel, the steps in Attachment F may be executed concurrently with Attachments A through E. (STA)
Attachment A: SRO Actions Step #A 1 has the CRS place several control rooni isolation switches to isolate.
Step #A2 has the CRS close the SIG A and SIG C ARVs.
Step #A3 has the CRS check to see if the RCS cold leg temperatures are stable at or trending to 561 °F. The RNO path has an operator locally dump steam using the SIG 8 and D ARVs, until the temperature is less than 561 °F and decreasing.
Steps #A4 through #A6 checks that the CST to MD-AFW 8 is open, the AFW valves are lined up, and that the reactor operator is notified that the Motor Driven AFW Pump 8 valve lineup steps are complete. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #A7 has the CRS assess the stability of plant conditions. Specific checks are conducted to verify that the RCS pressure, pressurizer level, SIG wide range levels and RCS cold leg temperatures are all within acceptable ranges. The RNO path for sub-step (b) tasks the operator performing turbine-building actions (STA) to locally throttle the boron injection tank (BIT) outlet valve as needed.
Step #AB checks that the ESW to TDAFW pump isolation valve is closed. (CRS)
Step #A9, has the CRS contacts the operator (STA) performing Attachment 8, "Turbine Building Operations," to verify an open valve .. The RNO path shows manual operations as needed.
Steps #A 10 and #A 11 has the CRS place the turbine driven aux feedwater pump governor control to local and verifies the aux feedwater valve line-up for the turbine-driven aux feedwater pump.
163
Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #A12 through #A14 has the CRS ensure the Loop 8 steam line isolation to the AFP turbine is open, the Loop C steam isolation is closed, and the turbine mechanical trip/throttle valve is open.
Step #A 15 has the CRS contact the operator (Extra ROINSO) performing Attachment E, "8N HV-8812A and Aux Feedwater Valve Closure," to ensure the AFW valves are closed. This is a "hold point" before continuing on with step #A 16.
Step #A 16 has the CRS establish turbine driven AFW pump control.
Step #A 17 has the CRS align alternative AFW pump water source, when CST level is less than 14% or local CST level is less than 6'5". (The RNO path has the rest of this step conducted after those levels are achieved, and otherwise continues with step #A 18).
Step #A18 directs an available operator to perform Attachment F, "Actions to Protect Train A Equipment,", if that hasn't already been started earlier. (CRS/R0#1)
Step #A 19 has the SM/CRS check plant cooldown status. The normal path assumes that cooling the plant down from "Hot Standby" to "Cold Shutdown" is not desired. For this scenario, the RNO path is taken instead. The scenario assumes that if the control room is (or was) on fire, WCGS is not going to be back at power until after the NRC has investigated the incident.
The CRS then jumps to procedure OFN RP-17A, "Hot Standby to Cold Shutdown From Outside the Control Room Due to Fire," when TSC augmentation is complete.
Attachment B: Turbine Building Actions Step #81 has an operator locally trip the RCPs. (STA)
Steps #82 and #83 have the operator proceed to 2033' turbine to obtain a copy of the procedure, a radio, a flashlight, and dosimetry from the emergency locker. (STA)
Steps #84 and #85 have the operator open breakers for DC control power to PA01 and PA02.
(STA)
Step #86 has the operator ensure the RCP breakers are tripped. (STA)
Step 87 verifies with CRS at ASP that Step #5(c), "placing breakers on NG03C are off is completed. This is a "hold point" before continuing with Step #87(b). The operator then ensures the CST to turbine driven AFP suction isolation valve is open. (STA)
Step #88 has the operator go through a hatch, descend a ladder, and enter the RCA. (STA)
Step #89 has the operator close the CCP to regen HX valves in the NCP room. (STA)
Step #81 O has the operator isolate the CCW from RCP thermal barriers in the north mechanical penetration room. There is a statement echoing step #87 that the operator needs to verify with the SRO that step 5(c), "placing breakers on NG03C are off' is completed. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #81 O(b). The operator then ensures that EG HV-61 is ensured 164
Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 closed. The operator then verifies with the operator at the aux building that Attachment D, step 010 is complete. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #81 O(d), where EG HV-133 is ensured closed. (STA)
Step #811 has the operator locally close valves to isolate the RCP seals in Aux Building Filter Alley. The operator then informs the reactor operator that Steps 810 and 811 are done. (STA)
Step #812 has the operator fail the MSIV bypass valves closed at RP209, across from the north mechanical penetration room. (STA)
Step #813 has the operator verify the BIT isolation valves open. Sub-step (a) has the operator verify with person performing aux building actions that Attachment D, steps 04 through 05 are complete. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step B13(b). (STA)
The operator then goes to the north piping penetration room to locally close a BIT outlet valve and locally throttle open a BIT outlet isolation valve. The CRS is notified that the BIT is lined up for injection, and then EM HV-8801 B is throttled as directed by the CRS to control the pressurizer level. (STA)
Attachment C: Reactor Operator Actions Step #C1 has the operator exit the control room, has the operator ensure that at least one control room outer door is closed and then has the operator proceed to the NK switchgear rooms. (R0#1)
Step #C2 has the operator turn off a series of NK breakers. (R0#1)
Steps #C3 and #C4 have the operator proceed to the NB02 switchgear room to obtain a copy of the OFN RP-017 procedure, a radio and flashlight from the emergency locker. (R0#1)
Steps #CS and #C6 have the operator ensure the train B pump breakers are open and the feeder breakers to NB02 are also open. (R0#1)
Step #C7 has the operator ensure the ESA and ESB relays are energized. (R0#1)
Step #CB has the operator align EOG B to the bus. The RNO path assumes the diesel has not started. If the RNO path is followed, the operator obtains a handle from the emergency locker and places it at one of the available air start valves. The handle is then pulled down until the diesel starts. The scenario assumes the rest of the sub-steps follow the normal path, once the diesel has started. The EOG output breaker is closed and the NB02 voltage on the breaker is verified as normal. (R0#1)
Steps #C9 and #C 10 have the operator ensure the ESW pump B breaker is closed and the load center and ESW pumphouse MCC breakers are closed. The RNO path uses Attachment G, "Manual Charging of Siemens Circuit Breakers" to charge the breaker closing springs. (R0#1) 165
- Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #C11 through #C13 have the operator isolate control power to NG02, position a valve for the ESW B/Service Water Cross-Connect, and isolate control power to NG04. (R0#1)
Step #C14, sub-step (a) has the operator verify that- the CRS performing Attachment A has completed steps A4 through AS. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #C14(b).
(R0#1)
Sub-steps (b) and (c) have the operator start the motor driven AFW pump Band then notify the CRS that the pump is running. (The RNO path, not followed for this scenario, would direct the operator to Attachment G). (R0#1)
Steps #C15 ensures the containment spray pump A is also stopped. (R0#1)
Step #C16, has the operator align the ESW pump room ventilation. (R0#1)
Steps #C17 through #C21 have the operator position switches for the ESW to UHS isolation valves, the RWST to RHR pump B isolation valves, the RWST to CCP B suction valves, close the VCT outlet isolation valve, and open a charging pump mini flow isolation valve. (R0#1)
Step #C22, sub-step (a) contacts the operator performing Turbine Building Attachment B to ensure step #810 is complete. This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #C22(b).
(R0#1)
Sub-step (b) closes NB0206. The RNO path (not followed for this scenario) has the operator close NB0207 to start CCW pump D, and then if no CCW pump can be started, to go to Attachment G. (R0#1)
Step #C23, sub-step (a) ensures the Turbine Building Attachment B, Step 811, is complete and auxiliary building, steps D4 through D10 are also complete. These are both "hold points" before continuing with step #C23(b). (R0#1)
Sub-step (b) closes NB0201. The RNO path would have directed the operator to go to Attachment G. (R0#1)
Step #C24 has the operator inform the CRS that the CCW and CCP pumps have been started.
(R0#1)
Step #C25, has the operator align the diesel generator building ventilation. (R0#1)
Step #C26 has the operator isolate possible RCS leakage paths. (R0#1)
Step #C27 has the operator open breaker for SIG blowdown isolation valves. (R0#1)
Step #C28 has the operator start the EDG fuel oil transfer pump. (R0#1)
Step #C29 has the operator verify the EDG B room temperature is between 65 °F and 11 O °F.
(R0#1) 166

Attachment D: Auxiliary Building Actions (R0#2) (NS0#4 is FBL)
Step #D1 has an operator in the Rod Drive M/G Room, isolate normal letdown at the RC and Support Systems Control Panel. (R0#2)
Steps #D2 and #D3 has an operator proceed to the emergency locker at the 2026' level and obtain a copy of procedure OFN RP-017, get a radio, a flashlight, a FR jump suit, and a pair of circular soft-jawed pliers. (R0#2)
Steps #D4 and #D5 have the operator operate breakers and switches, then isolate power to the BIT outlet valve. (R0#2)
Step #D6, sub-step (a), has the operator verify with the CRS at ASP that step 5.c is complete.
This is a "hold point" before continuing with step #D6(b). (R0#2)
Sub-step (b) has the operator ensure the CCW return from nuclear auxiliary components to Train A CCW is closed. (R0#2)
Step #D7 has the operator locally check if the ESW train B from CCW HX B valve is c.losed.
(R0#2)
Step #D8, in the south electrical penetration room, has the operator place the boron injection upstream test line switch to iso/closed. (R0#2)

Step #D16 has the operator place boron injection downstream test line switch to iso/closed in north electrical penetration room. (R0#2)
Steps #D17 and #D18, has the operator ensure the MSIVs are closed by unplugging the Amphenol connectors and then notify the CRS at the aux shutdown panel of the status of the MSIVs. (R0#2)
Step #D19 requests the CRS at the auxiliary shutdown panel to ensure SIG A and SIG C ARVs are closed. (R0#2) 167
Analysis 12 Fire with Control Room Evacuation and Remote Shutdown On-Shift Staffing Analysis Report Revision 1 Steps #D20 and #D21 have the operator isolate air and nitrogen to the SIG A and SIG C ARVs.
(R0#2)
Step #D22, in the SGK04B room, has the operator start the Class 1E electrical equipment A/C unit. (R0#2)
Step #D23 has the operator proceed as directed by the CRS at the ASP. (R0#2)

- 1. Introduction In May, 2012, NEI published NEI 12-01, "Guideline for Assessing Beyond Design Basis Accident Response Staffing and Communications Capabilities". This guideline provide criteria to assist with the preparation of assessments used to determine the required staff needed to respond to a Beyond Design Basis External Event (BDBEE) that affect multiple units at a site, and the identification of enhancements that could provide a means to power equipment needed to communicate with on-site and offsite personnel during an extended loss of AC power event. These assessments were necessary for responding to certain information requests contained in US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) letter, Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 50.54(£) Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3, of the Near-Term Task Force Review oflnsights from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Accident, dated March 12, 2012. As discussed in SECY-11-0137, "Prioritization of Recommended Actions to be taken in Response to Fukushima Lessons Learned',
dated October 3, 2011, responses to the information requests will be used to inform possible future regulatory actions.
Recommendation 4.2 requires a three-phase approach for mitigating beyond-design-basis external events. The Initial Phase requires the 'use of installed equipment and resources to maintain or restore the functions of core cooling, containment and spent fuel pool cooling. The Transition Phase requires providing sufficient, portable, on-site equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they can be accomplished with resources brought from off site. The Final Phase requires obtaining sufficient offsite resources to sustain those functions indefinitely.
Additionally, the event analyzed impedes site access such that for the first 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> no personnel from off-site can access the site, from 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> there is limited site access and after 24+ hours there is improved site access.
Section IV.A.9 of 10 CPR 50, Appendix E, states that nuclear power reactor licensees shall perform "a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan." The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) On-Shift ERO Staffing Task Force developed NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities" to establish a standard methodology for performing analyses of the ability of on-shift staff to perform all required functions and tasks necessary to respond to a declared emergency. Licensees used this methodology to meet the requirement of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 in a manner acceptable to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff. The methodology provided in this guidance was used to perform the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) On-Shift Staffing Assessment (OSSA), initially conducted in November 2015.

This report provides Draft Revision 1 of the staffing assessment results for Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) as required by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) letter, Request for Information Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 50.54(f) Regarding Recommendations 2.1, 2.3, and 9.3, of the Near-Term Task Force Review oflnsights from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Accident, dated March 12, 2012. The WCNOC FLEX Staffing Study Draft Revision 1 will be approved after the NRC approval of the License Amendment Request for Revision to the Emergency Plan.
- 2. Analysis Summary The assessment concluded that the on-shift staff as defined in the current WCNOC Emergency Plan and augmented ERO is adequate to implement existing and planned BDBEE and ELAP strategies while continuing to perform required Emergency Planning tasks without unacceptable collateral duties. Gaps identified during the Staffing Assessment process should be addressed through the WCNOC Corrective Action Program.
Revision Ogaps identified:
- a. The staffing assessment was not performed with the final approved versions of procedures and guidelines that will be used during an ELAP. (CR00050727-01-I0)
- b. FLEX Support Guideline task training/qualification is not yet developed and incorporated into the appropriate training programs. (CR00050727-01-I0)
- c. Current drill and exercise procedures do not include objectives or demonstration criteria for FLEX implementation. (CR00066747-02-46)
- 3. Analysis Overview Staffing Analysis Scope The Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) staffing assessment was performed using the guidance ofNEI 12-01 to conduct the staffing assessment. This assessment considers the staffing necessary to implement actions that address functions related to Fukushima NTTF Recommendation 4.2. The intent of this assessment was to perform the following:
- 1. Evaluate the ability of the on-shift staff to implement Initial Phase coping actions and, consistent with the site access assumption, evaluate Transition Phase actions which must be performed prior to the end of the "no site access" time period.
- Initial Phase - Implementation of strategies that generally rely upon installed plant equipment.
3
- Transition Phase - Implementation of strategies involving the use of on-site portable equipment and consumables to extend the coping period, and prevent a loss of functions needed for core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling. Setup for these strategies may be performed prior to the end of the Initial Phase as determined by procedure.
- 2. Evaluate the ability of the on-shift staff to implement the Station Blackout (SBO) coping strategies in place before Extended Loss of AC Power (ELAP) is declared.
Draft FSGs were used.)
- 4. Evaluate whether the ability of the on-shift staff to perform any required emergency response functions would be degraded or lost prior to the arrival of the augmented ERO.
- 5. Consistent with the site access assumption, evaluate the ability of the on-shift staff and augmented staff to implement Transition Phase coping strategies performed after the end of the "no site access" time period.
The staffing level determined as a result of the Phase 2 assessment have been verified and validated in the process used to reasonably assure required tasks, manual actions and decisions for FLEX strategies are feasible and may be executed.
Methodology A tabletop assessment was performed to determine what operational and emergency response actions were procedurally required during an ELAP. Representatives from WCNOC Operations, Maintenance, Radiation Protection, Chemistry, Procedure Writers, Engineering, Security, and Emergency Preparedness met with an industry consultant in a tabletop exercise in November 2015. The participants reviewed the assumptions and applied procedural guidance, including draft FLEX Support Guidelines (FSGs) for coping with a BDBEE using minimum on-shift staffing.
Particular attention was given to the sequence and timing of each procedural step, its duration, and the on-shift individual performing the step. Because the FSGs were not finalized, the results of the Revision Oassessment were preliminary and were validated prior to FLEX implementation. All gaps identified were addressed through the WCNOC corrective action program.

The team reviewed the tasks of each member of the minimum on-shift staff in responding to the ELAP and constructed a timeline (Table 5.1) recording the tasks and the approximate time at which they were performed following the event. In reviewing on-shift staffing tasks, the team was alert to identify instances where staff members were assigned conflicting tasks or collateral duties that would distract from their ability to fulfill Plan responsibilities.
The assessment team used the guidance ofNEI 10-05 to determine if the number and composition of the on-shift staff was sufficient to implement the Emergency Plan, Initial Phase actions, and, with the assistance from augmented staff, Transition Phase actions intended to maintain or restore core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool makeup for both units. The NEI 10-05 data tables (Attachment 3) were modified to include tasks associated with FLEX strategies.
- 4. Assumptions NEI 12-01 Assumptions for Staffing Analysis The set of standard assumptions that were used in the development of this report:
- 1. A large-scale external event occurs that results in:
- all on-site units affected
- extended loss of AC power
- impeded access to the units
- 2. All on-site reactors are operating at full power and are successfully shut down.
- 3. A Hostile Action directed at the affected site does not occur during the period that the site is responding to the event.
- 4. The event impedes site access as follows:
A. Post event time: 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> - No site access. This duration reflects the time necessary to clear roadway obstructions, use different travel routes, mobilize alternate transportation capabilities (e.g., private resource providers or public sector support), etc.
B. Post event time: 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> - Limited site access. Individuals may access the site by walking, personal vehicle or via alternate transportation capabilities (e.g., private resource providers or public sector support).
C. Post event time: 24+ hours - Improved site access. Site access is restored to a near-normal status and/or augmented transportation resources are available to deliver equipment, supplies and large numbers of personnel.
5
- 5. The on-shift personnel complement is limited to the minimum required number and composition as described in the site emergency plan. If the plan commitments allow for different minimum staffing levels ( e.g., a variance between a normal dayshift and a backshift), use the staffing with the smallest total number of personnel.
NEI 10-05 Applicable Assumptions In accordance with this guidance, the following assumptions and limitations apply to the Phase 2 OSSA:
- 1. On-shift personnel can report to their assigned response locations within the timeframes sufficient to allow for performance of assigned actions.
- 2. The on-shift staff possesses the necessary Radiation Worker qualifications to obtain normal dosimetry and to enter Radiologically Controlled Areas (but not high, locked high or very high radiation areas) without the aid of a Radiation Protection Technician.
- 3. Personnel assigned to the major response area of Plant Operations and Safe Shutdown meet the requirements and guidance established by NRC regulations and are able to satisfactorily perform the functions and tasks necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown.
Note: Staff performance within this area was not evaluated as part of this assessment, unless a role/function/task from another major response area is assigned as a collateral duty.
- 4. Performance of the on-site security organization's function is regularly analyzed through other station programs and was not evaluated in the OSSA, unless a role or function from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.
- 5. Individuals holding the position of Radiation Protection Technician or Chemistry Technician are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
- 6. The task of making a simple and brief communication has minimal impact on the ability to perform other assigned functions/tasks, and was therefore an acceptable collateral duty for all positions. Examples include making a plant page announcement or placing a call for assistance to an offsite resource such as local law enforcement. This assumption does not apply to emergency notification to an Offsite Response Organization (ORO) or the NRC. Communications methods will be different, i.e. Satellite phones instead of dedicated phone lines. Satellite phones require clear view of southern sky and therefore the communicator must go outside or set up an outside antenna. As such the communication to the State, 6
Counties and the NRC will be done in series as each phone must be dialed separately. The satellite phones have simple usage cards with each phone and the use is similar to the use of a cellular phone within the capability of the communicator.
- 7. The task of performing a peer check had minimal impact on the ability to perform other assigned functions/tasks, and was therefore an acceptable collateral duty for all positions. Examples include performing a peer check on a recommended emergency classification or notification form for transmittal to offsite authorities.
- 8. The analyzed events occur during off-normal work hours at a time when augmented ERO responders are not at the site (e.g., during a backshift, weekend or holiday).
- 5. Event Staffing Analysis Minimum On-Shift Staffing The shift staffing requirements for Wolf Creek Generating Station are listed in the table below. The methodology ofNEI 12-01 requires that only personnel required to be on-shift can be credited in the staffing analysis.

Scenario Overview The BDBEE assumes a loss of off-site power combined with a failure of the emergency diesel generators to load. All remaining power is supplied by the station batteries. The loss of AC power to emergency buses initially results in the declaration of a Site Area Emergency. When it becomes apparent that power will be unavailable for a prolonged period, the event classification is escalated to a General Emergency.
Wolf Creek utilizes a three-phase approach for mitigating beyond-design-basis external events. The Initial Phase utilizes installed equipment and resources to monitor, maintain or restore the functions of core cooling, containment and spent fuel pool cooling. The Transition Phase requires providing sufficient, portable, on-site equipment and consumables to maintain or restore these functions until they can be accomplished with resources brought from off site. The Final Phase uses offsite resources to sustain those functions indefinitely. Portable and off-site equipment location and operation during the Transition and Final Phases is addressed through the FSG's.
EMG E-0 and EMG C-0 are the governing procedures for the BDBEE initial response. Actions are focused on response to the unit trip, restoration of electrical power and establishing ventilation in different areas of the plant.
FLEX strategies are focused on maintaining or restoring key plant safety functions and are not tied to any specific damage state or mechanistic assessment of external events.
Staffing Analysis Summary Tables 5.1 & 5.2 provide the results of the actions taken to the BDBEE transient using installed plant and portable equipment and the available staffing complement.
The on-shift staff performed actions required by operating and emergency plan procedures in the 6-hour period, relying only on installed structures, systems and components available in the Initial Phase of the response.
The assessment concluded that the on-shift staff as defined in the current WCNOC Emergency Plan and augmented ERO is adequate to implement existing and planned BDBEE and ELAP strategies while continuing to perform required Emergency Planning tasks without unacceptable collateral duties.
