SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E establish emergency planning standards that require: 1) adequate staffing; 2) satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks; and 3) timely augmentation of the response capability.

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting NRC approval of a proposed revision to the Limerick Generating Station (LGS) Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. The proposed changes would revise certain Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions in the LGS Emergency Plan. Specifically, the proposed changes would revise certain ERO positions to align with the minimum staff ERO guidance specified in draft Revision 2 of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants" (referred to NUREG-0654 hereafter).

The proposed changes will also relocate the identified Full Augmentation ERO specified in the Limerick Generating Station Emergency Plan Annex EP-AA-1008, Table LGS 2-1, "Minimum Staffing Requirements," to an Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedure (EPIP).

The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans," paragraph (b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," and other applicable emergency preparedness NRC guidance documents. An evaluation of the proposed changes pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," paragraph (q), "Emergency plans," determined that the proposed changes result in a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plans for the affected facilities and, therefore, require prior NRC approval.

As specified in Enclosure 4 of this submittal for the LGS, Exelon has committed to conduct a confirmation Emergency Preparedness (EP) Drill at one of the Exelon stations located in Pennsylvania (Limerick or Peach Bottom) with the proposed minimum staff personnel to demonstrate that sufficient staffing capabilities will remain and no loss of EP function will result due to the proposed changes in the ERO staffing.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Proposed Changes 2.1.1 The content and format of the LGS Emergency Plan Annex EP-AA-1008, Table LGS 2-1, "Minimum Staffing Requirements," will be revised to align with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 updated Table B-1 guidance. This includes revisions to the EP Functions and Major Tasks, as well as the Minimum Staff assigned to these areas. The proposed changes will result in a reduction of some designated Minimum Staff responders and the relocation of the Full Augmentation staff from the Emergency Plan to LGS EPIPs, consistent with the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 draft guidance.

The specific wording changes are provided in Attachments 1A and 1B of this enclosure as marked-up and clean copy Emergency Plan pages, respectively. Enclosure 3 contains a task assessment of the Minimum Staff and Full-Augmented Staff removed License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 3 of 74 from the LGS Emergency Plan. Enclosure 5 of the License Amendment Request contains information related to the review of the proposed changes by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

2.1.2 On-Shift ERO Revision Summary The LGS on-shift staff will align with the guidance specified in draft Revision 2 of NUREG-0654. The proposed changes to align the LGS Emergency Plan Annex EP-AA-1008, Table LGS 2-1 with the draft guidance for the on-shift ERO are described as follows:

The Radwaste Operator is removed from the on-shift staff.

The Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) Technician is removed from the on-shift staff.

The offsite Field Monitoring team personnel is moved from the on-shift staff to minimum staff.

The on-shift dose assessment function will no longer be performed remotely by Peach Bottom Radiation Protection (RP) Technicians.

One of the two designated Communicators is removed from the on-shift staff.

The designated number of Fire Brigade personnel will be removed and the Table will be annotated stating the Function will be controlled per the Fire Protection Plan (FPP).

The First Aid and Rescue EP Function is removed from the Table, consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

The total number of on-shift RP Technicians will remain at two (2); however, the assignment to specific EP Functions and Major Tasks is revised to align with the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 draft guidance.

The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS on-shift ERO staffing positions for each EP Function identified in the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 draft guidance.

An on-shift analysis utilizing the guidance and methodology in NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," concluded that the proposed changes do not result in conflicting duties for on-shift ERO personnel.

No Technical Support Center (TSC) Dose Assessor. This is deemed to be acceptable because the LGS Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is activated at a lower classification level than required by the draft NUREG-0654 guidance for escalating events. The TSC Dose Assessor is not considered necessary because the LGS EOF will activate at 60 minutes of an Alert or higher Emergency Classification Level (ECL) and will include an EOF Dose Assessor as Minimum Staff.

The on-site Field Monitoring Team will not include a driver. Due to the configuration and size of the site within and around the Protected Area (PA) and the limited available roads in that area, a vehicle would not be needed to traverse the site.

The EOF Information Technology (IT) Lead (Computer Specialist) is proposed to be staffed within 90 minutes of an Alert rather than 60 minutes of a Site Area Emergency.

The TSC does not have an IT Lead staffed at 90 minutes.

The EOF will not staff an additional NRC Communicator at a Site Area Emergency.

The following ERO positions will be added to the LGS Emergency Plan as Minimum Staff consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

OSC RP Supervisor / Lead OSC Electrical Maintenance Supervisor / Lead OSC Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor / Lead OSC I&C Maintenance Supervisor / Lead The following ERO support positions will no longer be considered Minimum Staff under the LGS Emergency Plan and will be designated as Full-Augmented Staff. The Full-Augmented ERO Staff will be managed under an EPIP consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

TSC Director EOF Director Operations Support Center (OSC) Chemistry Person TSC Technical Manager TSC Maintenance Manager EOF Logistics Manager EOF Health Physics Network (HPN) Communicator EOF Environmental Coordinator The following positions will be reduced in number consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

Mechanical Technician - reduction of one (1) position RP Personnel - reduction of one (1) position Additional changes include:

The response time for one Offsite Field Monitoring Team (FMT) will change from being on shift to responding within 90 minutes consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

Three (3) RP Personnel will be changed from 60-minute responders to 90-minute responders consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

2.1.4 Full-Augmented Staff The description of the Full-Augmented Staff contained in the LGS Emergency Plan will be relocated to an EPIP. The LGS Full-Augmented Staff will continue to be notified to respond at an Alert or higher ECL at the same time as the Minimum Staff personnel; however, the Full-Augmentation ERO response is not required in order to activate the Emergency Response Facility (ERF). Additionally, ERO positions designated as "as needed" in the table below will be qualified for their ERO position; however, the position will be notified to respond to the ERF only if conditions warrant, as determined by the Emergency Director (ED) or his designee.

The revision to the NUREG-0654 guidance reflects changes to NRC regulations, guidance, and policies, as well as advances in technology and best practices that have occurred since the NUREG-0654 guidance was originally issued in November 1980.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 10 of 74 2.3 Limerick Emergency Plan Background LGS is located on the east bank of the Schuylkill River in Limerick Township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, approximately 4 river miles downriver from Pottstown, 35 river miles upriver from Philadelphia, and 49 river miles above the confluence of the Schuylkill with the Delaware River. The site contains 595 acres (423 acres in Montgomery County and 172 in Chester County). The licenses for Units 1 & 2 were issued in August 1985 and August 1989 respectively.

The LGS Emergency Preparedness Plan consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (EP-AA-1000) and a Station Emergency Plan Annex (EP-AA-1008). Additionally, the program provides direction and guidance through EPIPs, and associated program administrative documents. The Emergency Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. Planning efforts common to all Exelon nuclear stations are encompassed within the Exelon Standardized Emergency Plan. The Standardized Emergency Plan establishes the concepts, evaluation and assessment criteria, and protective actions that are necessary to limit and mitigate the consequences of potential or actual radiological emergencies.

The LGS Annex generally contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. The Annex and associated Addendums address site-specific criteria including:

Emergency Action Levels (EALs) located in Addendum 3 to the station Annex.

Differences from the Standardized Emergency Plan (such as station-specific staffing commitments, unique aspects of ERO augmentation, etc.).

Facility geography and location for a full understanding and representation of the stations emergency response capabilities.

Plant specific facilities and equipment associated with the Emergency Preparedness Program.

2.3.1 Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2 Emergency Plan, Revision 13 (Final Safety Analysis (FSAR) Section 13.3) - The LGS original Emergency Response Organization (ERO) defined at the time of the issuance of the Unit 1 License. Revision 13 of the LGS Emergency Plan described the On-Shift Emergency Staffing, the "60 Minute Augmentation" staff, the "Onsite Augmentation" and the "Full Augmentation" staffing.

2.3.2 Nuclear Emergency Plan for LGS and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS),

Revision 0, - In August 1993, Philadelphia Electric Company combined the Emergency Plans for Limerick and PBAPS into a common Plan. The revision identified the On-Shift and Augmented Staff, and included an Exhibit 3-7, Personnel and Facility Planning Basis summary which provided a staffing comparison to NUREG-0654, Revision 1. A public meeting was held between PECO and NRC on January 7, 1993 to discuss implementation of the common Emergency Plan.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 11 of 74 2.3.3 Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, Revision 13 - On August 30, 2002, as part of the merger with the Commonwealth Edison stations (Braidwood, Byron, Dresden, LaSalle, and Quad Cities), PBAPS, Units 2 and 3, and LGS, Units 1 and 2, were incorporated into the Exelon Generation Company Standard Emergency Plan. The revision established a mostly common ERO throughout the Exelon Fleet.

2.4 Minimum Staffing and Full Augmentation as discussed in Limerick Generating Stations Emergency Plan The LGS Emergency Plan designates two (2) types of augmented ERO responders.

Those designated as Minimum Staff are those key ERO personnel needed to relieve the on-shift staff of key EP functions/tasks required in response to the emergency. Those key functions and associated tasks are identified in NUREG-0654,Section II.B.

Evaluation Criteria 5 of Section II.B of NUREG-0654, Revision 1, 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 onsite 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.

Those ERO positions designated as Minimum Staffing in the LGS Emergency Plan are those required to activate their respective Emergency Response Facility (ERF).

Specifically, these are the ERO positions that are the absolute minimum needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). These positions in most cases are required to respond to their respective ERF within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher ECL.

"Facility Activation" refers to the decision to consider a facility fully operational based on the minimum staffing required in ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex and the ability of facility staffing and equipment to perform its designed function(s).

The positions which are considered Full-Augmented Staff (i.e., Non-Minimum Staff) are those positions which provide support for the Minimum Staff in their response to the emergency. While some Full-Augmentation positions were historically described in the LGS Emergency Plan EP-AA-1008, they were only added to EP-AA-1008, Table LGS 2-1, at the time of the PECO/AmerGen and ComEd merger for the development of a common Exelon fleet Emergency Plan in Revision 11.

The current Standardized Emergency Plan, in EP-AA-1000, Part II, Section B.5 supporting LGS emergency planning included the following description for the Full-Augmentation ERO:

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 12 of 74 ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex, outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. The full augmentation staffing levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible events.

As described in the LGS Emergency Plan, these Full-Augmentation positions consist of liaisons, coordinators, and additional communicators which help facilitate communication and the emergency response effort over time, but are not directly needed to implement the Functions/asks identified in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2, Table B-1 guidance.

The list of Full-Augmented positions and their current assigned tasks are listed in Enclosure 3.

2.5 EOF Activation as discussed in the Limerick Generating Station Emergency Plan The draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance establishes that the EOF facility activate within 60 minutes of a Site Area Emergency (SAE) or greater ECL. Exelon has elected to activate the EOF within 60 minutes of an Alert or greater ECL. By establishing the EOF at the Alert level, certain EP functions such as Dose Assessment or State/local communications can be established immediately following the Alert classification at the EOF and need not be duplicated at the TSC.

The turnover of Command and Control of EP functions will occur through a conference line between the Main Control Room (MCR), TSC, and EOF and may occur simultaneously if all facilities are available. In this manner, there will be no delay in transferring functions such as Emergency Action Level (EAL) classifications, State/local Notifications, Protective Action Recommendations (PARs), and Emergency Exposure Control from the MCR to the respective ERF (i.e., TSC or EOF).

2.6 ERO Performance Validation As part of the implementation of these changes, a confirmation of the capabilities of the final Minimum Staff personnel will be performed through an EP drill to demonstrate that no loss of function will result due to the changes in the ERO. The corresponding State(s) are invited to participate in this EP drill. Additionally, the NRC will be invited to observe the drill.

In support of this effort, and as documented in Enclosure 4 of this submittal, Exelon makes the following commitment:

Exelon will conduct a confirmation Emergency Preparedness Drill at one of the affected Pennsylvania stations (Limerick or Peach Bottom) under this License Amendment Request to demonstrate that no loss of EP function will result due to the proposed changes in the ERO. The drill will include each of the Emergency Response Facilities described in the Emergency Plan (i.e., MCR, TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC).

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 13 of 74 This commitment shall be completed prior to the implementation of the approved license amendment.

2.7 On-Shift Staffing Analysis (OSA)

Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2016-10, "License Amendment Requests for Changes to Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation," states that an on-shift staffing analysis under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 should not be used to provide the primary basis to support the Technical Evaluation of a License Amendment Request (LAR). The OSA, however, may be utilized as part of the overall evaluation of staffing changes. The RIS states:

an evaluation performed using only the guidance of NEI 10-05 does not satisfy the requirement to identify and evaluate changes to ERO augmentation timing or ERO augmentation staffing that reduces the capability to perform an emergency planning function.

In conjunction with this License Amendment Request, LGS performed an OSA per 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9. The results are used to support the conclusions made in this License Amendment Request for on-shift staffing; however, Exelon understands that the OSA comprises a select set of identified scenarios and should not be used as the sole basis for the conclusions in the technical evaluation supporting this amendment request.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

The evaluation of the proposed changes is discussed below.

3.1 Technical Advancements and Support The following section discusses technical changes in plant systems, procedures, EP equipment/programs and training, which have been completed to better support ERO functions, ease Operator burden and improve Augmented Staff efficiency. The following discussion describes the improvements implemented since the last revision of the NUREG-0654 staffing guidance.

3.1.1 Plant Process Computer The Plant Process Computer (PPC) system provides for the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) functions discussed below as well as data collection and processing, accounting, alarming and logging functions. An auxiliary function of the PPC is to transmit plant data to remote locations, including the TSC and the EOF.

The PPC and the SPDS provide a concise display of critical plant variables to the Main Control Room (MCR) personnel to aid them in rapidly and reliably determining the safety status of the plant. The PMS and SPDS are operated during normal plant operations, as well as during abnormal and emergency conditions. The principal purpose and function is to aid the MCR personnel during abnormal and emergency conditions in determining the safety status of the plant.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 14 of 74 Parameters displayed by the PPC and SPDS are the quantitative and qualitative measures to indicate the accomplishment or maintenance of critical safety functions.

Information needed to assess the status of the plant safety parameters is obtained by the measurement of key plant variables. The safety parameters utilized to assess the maintenance or accomplishment of the critical safety functions as required by NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements: Requirements for Emergency Response Capability," Section 4 are:

1. Reactivity control
2. Reactor core cooling and heat removal
3. Reactor coolant system integrity
4. Containment conditions
5. Radiation control In general, the ranges of parameters monitored by the PPC and SPDS are identical to those ranges monitored by existing MCR instrumentation. Ranges displayed by the PPC/SPDS are adequate to cover plant responses analyzed in Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Chapter 15, "Accident Analysis."

Benefits of the current level of computer capabilities include:

Improved plant monitoring capability for emergency functions.

Real-time plant data available through graphical displays.

PPC Pl functions available to any desktop computer through the plant's Emergency Response Facilities.

Programming capability for automated response such as indication of critical parameter alarms.

Easier interface when switching between graphical displays.

The PPC is a single operating platform incorporating the PPC and the SPDS as well as the following:

Process Computer System Meteorological Data Acquisition System Sequence of Events Recorder (SER)

Radiation monitoring MCR personnel can quickly monitor all critical plant parameters from a single workstation. The following are some of the benefits of the PPC:

The Shift Manager has improved plant monitoring capability to support Emergency Director (ED) function.

Workstations have the capability of being programmed for automated response (such as automatically indicating a critical parameter during events that may challenge that parameter).

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 15 of 74 Data manipulation functions, such as plotting information graphically or recovering historical data.

Much of the PPC functionality can be made available to any desktop computer through the plants site-wide intranet.

LGS also utilizes a Digital Plant Viewer (DPV) system that permits personnel to view conditions in the plant where cameras are installed live-time prior to entry. The DPV also allows personnel to access live-time dose rate data in areas with installed Area Radiation Monitors (ARM). No RP support is required to use the DPV.

In aggregate, these improvements support the proposed change in ERO staffing by ensuring that major functions and tasks are completed more easily with less burdens on the MCR staff.

3.1.2 Dose Assessment Radiological dose assessment has benefited from technological advances that make its use simpler and less time consuming. At the time of the startup of Unit 1, procedures describing methods for manually calculating offsite doses were provided. The methods incorporate constants which simplified and speed up calculations. Soon after, a computer based method for Dose Assessment was implemented. The Common Dose Model (CDM) was a PC-based computer dose model based on the MESOREM Jr.

system. The MESOREM Jr. system was designed to satisfy applicable 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, requirements and NUREG CR-3011, "Dose Projection Consideration at Nuclear Power Plants," guidance. It provided a means for immediate dose assessment as well as the capability to track the plume and resultant doses of an accidental radioactive airborne release for a duration of up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. By 1995, the LGS Emergency Plan indicated that MESOREM Jr. was being used for dose assessment calculations. MESOREM Jr. was replaced in 2002 with a Microsoft Access data program known as DAPAR, which was developed internally by Exelon. DAPAR allowed the user to move within different input screens making changes as needed.

In 2012, DAPAR was replaced by Unified Rascal Interface (URI), a Visual Basic.net program. URI is a more efficient program utilizing menus and toolbars with the majority of inputs on a single screen making the program more user friendly. The plant display systems have improved over the years allowing access to more data points that are needed within dose assessment. Redundant dose assessment computers were installed as part of the implementation of Cyber Security requirements. LGS has an individual plant data screen dedicated to the needs of dose assessment inputs.

The overall improvements in technology and information availability over the years have enabled the on-shift staff to assess plant conditions quickly and efficiently, and with less distraction than before. The computing power of modern computer processors allows for calculation of dose projections that take seconds rather than minutes.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 16 of 74 3.1.3 Automated Call-Out Systems Enhancements in automated call-out and paging systems have resulted in streamlined processes for activation of the ERO. The ERO activation can occur through a Web based or phone based system to initiate rapid notification of ERO members in lieu of individual calls to fill the individual ERO positions included in the current Emergency Plan for LGS. The system includes a primary activation system as well as back-up capability to ensure uninterrupted operation.

3.1.4 Procedural Improvements

a. Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs)

Since the original Emergency Plan approval, EOPs have been improved through industry initiatives. EOPs generally use a symptom-based approach that demands less assessment and interpretation of plant conditions by the crew. In addition, the EOPs are better human factored, and have an improved layout allowing for more consistent implementation.

EOPs interface well with new technology such as the PPC. The PPC system is capable of graphically displaying plant conditions to assist in EOP execution.

Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs) also contain directional steps for when a review of the classification procedure is required to determine potential classifiable conditions.

This prompts the user to identify applicable EALs.

b. Emergency Action Levels (EALs)

In 2016, LGS updated the EAL classification methodology to that published in NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors."

The LGS EALs incorporate the new guidance that has simplified the classification process, including the use of a matrix of EAL initiating conditions that streamlines the process of evaluating EALs against plant conditions.

3.1.5 Training

a. Operations Training Training is used to strategically drive improved performance at LGS. Since NRC approval of the LGS Emergency Plan, the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) has resulted in developing a task list for Operations personnel. The SAT process ensures training is conducted to industry-accepted standards, and has led to accreditation of the Operations Training Programs by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO)

National Academy for Nuclear Training.

A dynamic simulator is routinely used during Operations training. "As found" simulator evaluations that include emergency response scenarios are part of the requalification segment. Simulator scenarios are designed to be realistic and reflect a wide range of License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 17 of 74 plant conditions, including emergency conditions. During the simulator evaluated sessions the MCR staff is taken from normal operations to accident conditions which require evaluation against Emergency Action Levels and may result in the declaration up to a General Emergency (GE). The Operations crew performs critical functions, such as classification, core damage assessment, accident mitigation, response prioritization, and communications without augmentation from additional responders. The proficiency of the MCR staff to perform these functions while maintaining situational awareness, without additional support, is assessed during evaluated simulator sessions.

The Licensed Operator Requalification Training (LORT) Program includes licensed Operations crew performance evaluations that are to consider the scenario guidance attributes of INPO Operations Department Standing Instruction, ODSl-3, "Operations Department Guidance for Conducting Crew Performance Evaluations."

INPO ODSI-3 provides guidance on the realistic integration of the emergency response into crew performance evaluations. The purpose is to ensure the additional challenges the Emergency Plan responsibilities add to the crew's ability to manage an event are realistically represented in the crew performance evaluations. Representing the event as realistically as possible, which includes the additional challenges of Emergency Plan responsibilities, helps promote the situational awareness necessary during a real event.

b. Shift Technical Advisor (STA) Training The STA was originally trained as an advisor to the operating shift per NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements." In 2014, additional guidelines were developed by INPO for the training of STAs. This is detailed in the document ACAD 14-002, "Guidelines for the Training and Qualification of the Shift Technical Advisor."

The ACAD 14-002 guidelines describe the role of the STA. The STA performs independent assessments of plant operating concerns, technical support, appropriate corrective actions, analysis of events and their effects, effectiveness of response(s) to emergent conditions, classifications of emergencies, protection of the public and any other actions related to critical safety functions and plant safety during abnormal and emergency situations. They also contribute to operations during normal plant conditions.

By routine monitoring of equipment and plant operations, the STA can focus on preventative actions in order to mitigate the consequences of an accident.

3.1.6 Radiation Protection Improvements There have been many improvements in RP since the LGS staffing was established under NUREG-0654, Revision 1 guidance.

The following provides a summation of the technology/tools associated with the in-plant protective actions:

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 18 of 74

a. Access Control Access to the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) is controlled electronically.

The electronic access control system provides for the user to electronically sign Radiation Work Permits (RWPs) to self-authorize themselves to access the RCA and self-issuance of an electronic dosimeter (in addition to the assigned Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) that is always worn). Access to the RCA is controlled electronically without interface with a RP Technician.

b. Personnel monitoring Personnel are issued DLRs that are continuously worn for constant monitoring.

No RPT support is needed for issuance of DLRs to on-shift emergency workers.

Secondary dosimeters are issued through the electronic access control system.

The secondary dosimeters are self-reading, alarming electronic dosimeters that provide readout of accumulated dose and ambient dose rate. No RP Technician support is needed for issuance of electronic dosimeters.

Automated whole-body monitors provide contamination monitoring. All radiation workers are qualified to use the automated whole-body monitors without RP Technician interface.

In circumstances when the automated whole-body monitors are not available, hand held friskers are used for personnel contamination monitoring. All radiation workers are qualified to use the hand-held friskers without RP Technician interface.

c. Dosimetry Personnel are issued DLRs that are continuously worn for constant monitoring.

Secondary dosimeters are self-issued through the electronic access control system. The secondary dosimeters are self-reading, alarming electronic dosimeters that provide readout of accumulated dose and ambient dose rate. No RP Technician support is needed for issuance of electronic dosimeters.

If a DLR is lost or damaged under emergency conditions, additional DLRs are staged for emergency issuance.

If an electronic dosimeter is lost or damaged, additional electronic dosimeters are available.

d. Area Radiation Monitors (ARMs) are also used and reviewed prior to dispatch of personnel into the plant. LGS has multiple ARMs throughout the plant.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 19 of 74 Some RP Technician support functions associated with in-plant protective actions such as access control, personnel monitoring, dose assessment, and dosimetry now require less dedicated support time since they are covered by plant process enhancements (newer technology/tools).

These technology/tools use available equipment such as portal monitors, self-alarming dosimeters, and an automated access control point.

All onsite ERO members expected to be dispatched into the plant for evaluation, operations, or repair activities are Radiation Worker qualified and understand and are trained on how to use the available tools.

3.1.7 Improvements Summary The improvements to staffing, equipment, procedures, and training that have occurred since initial approval of the LGS Emergency Plan have resulted in a significant increase in the on-shift capabilities and knowledge. Based on these improvements, it is concluded that there would be no significant degradation or loss of any functional task as a result of the proposed changes in ERO staffing.

3.2 Functional Analysis This analysis evaluates the impact of implementing the changes in staffing on the ERO ability to perform the major tasks for the major functional areas of the LGS Emergency Plan. The analysis demonstrates that no degradation or loss of function would occur as a result of the change.

3.2.1 EP Function: Command and Control (formerly Emergency Direction and Control)

The Command and Control function includes the following tasks as defined in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision guidance:

Provide overall ERO command and control, until relieved.

Approve EAL and/ or Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) classifications, until relieved.

Authorize personnel dose extensions, until relieved This function is important for effective emergency response because adequate Command and Control enables the LGS ERO to effectively develop priorities for response planning and corrective action(s) and to provide a unified approach to the event response by providing a single individual with overall command and control authority. The function is staffed and maintained at all times and is assigned to the Operations Shift Manager (SM). The augmentation (relief) of this position is intended to relieve the SM of EP functions so that the SM can focus on the event response from an operations perspective. This occurs within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL declaration, or greater, and is a position staffed by the TSC ED. In addition, the EOF Corporate ED will take responsibility for those EP functions associated with PARs following activation of the EOF, also at the Alert or greater ECL.

  • may be performed by persons assigned other functions Emergency Plan Change Assessment The LGS existing on-shift staffing table currently aligns with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance with one exception. The current LGS Table 2-1 contains a note which states the MCR Shift ED position "may be performed by persons assigned other functions." There are no additional functions assigned to the Shift ED other than what is annotated in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance and as such, the existing note is deemed unnecessary and is being removed from the LGS staffing table.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will maintain the existing title for this EP Function. The draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Operations Shift Manager will be titled Shift Emergency Director at LGS.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 21 of 74 The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. There is one difference between the LGS proposed Minimum Staff and the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. Specifically, LGS will staff the EOF ED within 60 minutes of an Alert or higher ECL, while the NUREG-0654 guidance staffs the position within 60 minutes of a SAE or higher ECL. This difference expands the LGS emergency response at the Alert ECL and will ensure that the EOF ERO will be immediately available should an Alert classification escalate to a SAE or GE ECL.

3.2.2 EP Function: Communications The Communications function includes the following tasks as defined in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

Communicate EAL and PAR classifications to Offsite Response Organizations (OROs), including the NRC, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response. The function ensures adequate communication onsite and offsite to successfully implement the emergency plans. LGS maintains the ability to staff this position at all times. This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty and has been assessed through an on-shift staffing analysis, via 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, to ensure that this EP Function can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

The augmentation (relief) of this position is available within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is intended to relieve the on-shift staff of this EP function. This function consists of two (2) ERO members to fulfill the communication needs (i.e., one (1) for the NRC and one (1) for State/local notification and status updates). Under the LGS Emergency Plan, additional Communicators can be called upon as needed, and at the discretion of the ED.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan On-shift ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Communications - On-shift Current Emergency Plan, Proposed Emergency Plan Draft NUREG-0654, Table LGS 2-1 Table Revision 2 Guidance (2) Shift Personnel (1) Shift Communicator (1) Communicator1 1 Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 22 of 74 Emergency Plan Change Assessment LGS plans to reduce the number of personnel assigned to on-shift communications.

LGS currently utilizes two (2) Operators to perform these notifications (one dedicated for the State/local communications and one dedicated for ENS communications),

which is one more than provided by the draft guidance. Considering the requirements under the Emergency Plan is for State/local communications to occur within 15 minutes of EAL classification and the subsequent Emergency Notification System (ENS) notification occurs as soon as possible after the State/local notification, but not to exceed 60 minutes from an EAL classification, it is possible for one communicator to perform both functions until relieved by the augmented ERO.

This model of one dedicated shift communicator has been demonstrated successfully throughout the industry, including other stations within the Exelon fleet.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will keep the Shift Communication function consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The Shift Communicator will perform NRC and State/local communications as needed until relieved.

A difference identified related to the LGS implementation of the draft NUREG-0654 guidance is the absence of the note (1) regarding collateral duties. The notes states:

"Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time," and is not included in the LGS Emergency Plan. This note is not necessary because no collateral duties are assigned to the on-shift Communicator under the LGS Emergency Plan.

There are no other deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Communications - Minimum Staff Current Emergency Plan, Proposed Emergency Plan Draft NUREG-0654, LGS Table LGS 2-1 Table Revision 2 Guidance (1) TSC ENS (1) TSC ENS (1) TSC Communicator Communicator Communicator (NRC)

Emergency Plan Change Assessment LGS is maintaining the Minimum Staff TSC ENS and EOF State/local Communicator as currently described in the LGS Emergency Plan with no proposed changes to those positions. Additional Communicators will be staffed at the EOF or TSC as needed.

The following positions, identified as minimum staff under the current Emergency Plan, are being re-categorized as Full-Augmented staff and managed within an EPIP.

EOF HPN Communicator - The EOF HPN Communicator identified in the current Emergency Plan is removed and relocated to an EPIP. Exelon is adding a statement to the staffing Table that additional communicators will be staffed as needed. This ensures that if required, additional NRC communicators can be augmented as necessary to support communications between Exelon and the NRC.

TSC Director - Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the TSC Director responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under NUREG-0654, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position, as currently defined in the Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented).

The TSC Director performs support activities such as supervisory actions, validations, liaison, assistance and monitoring activities. Specific responsibilities include:

Verify that qualified individuals are filling Communicator positions in the Control Room, TSC and OSC.

Supervise the activities of the Logistics Coordinator and state/local Communicator.

Ensure that communications are established with appropriate parties as directed by the Station Emergency Director.

Ensure that all required notifications to offsite governmental agencies (state/local and NRC) are timely and accurate.

Act as the Exelon Nuclear Liaison to any NRC Site Team Representatives.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 24 of 74 Ensure that the NRC Site Team Representatives are directed to their appropriate counterparts.

Assist the Corporate Emergency Director in the acquisition of information for off-site agency updates.

Record and relay inquiries to the Station Emergency Director. In addition, record responses to such inquiries prior to transmission.

Assist the Station Emergency Director in maintaining proper records.

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the NUREG-0654 identified functions. As such, the TSC Director position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The TSC Director position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

EOF Director - Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the EOF Director responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under NUREG-0654, but rather support other personnel at the EOF. The position, as currently described in the LGS Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The EOF Director performs support activities such as coordination, assessment, monitoring, and assistance activities. Specific responsibilities include:

Direct and coordinate the activation and response efforts of the EOF staff in support of the Corporate Emergency Director.

Evaluate the need to augment the EOF staff based on events in progress.

Assess the effectiveness of ongoing EOF working relationships.

Monitor information flow within the EOF to ensure that facility activities remain coordinated.

Prepare state/local notification forms with the assistance of the EOF Radiation Protection Manager and the Technical Support Manager. (task transferred to the State/local Communicator position)

Coordinate services as necessary to support EOF operations.

Coordinate with the Administrative Coordinator for continual shift staffing requirements.

Assist in the conduct of Corporate Emergency Director duties.

Act as purchasing agent in support of the TSC for contract negotiation/administration.

Note the responsibility to "Prepare state/local notification forms with the assistance of the EOF Radiation Protection Manager and the Technical Support Manager," is relocated to the State/local Communicator position. Each of these other tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 identified functions. As such, the EOF Director position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The EOF Director position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

Draft NUREG 0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will maintain the ENS (NRC) Communicator and State/local (ORO)

Communicators consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance; however, the reporting location differs. Specifically, the function is maintained with one (1) ENS Communicator staffed at the TSC within 60 minutes to perform NRC communications and one (1) State/local Communicator at the EOF within 60 minutes to perform the State/local notifications with the (OROs.

The draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 designates the minimum staff ORO communication (State/local) is located at the TSC. For LGS, the State/local Communicator is located in the EOF. This is considered acceptable because the LGS EOF is activated at the Alert or higher ECL. By establishing the EOF at the Alert level, the function would be available at the same time as if it were located in the TSC.

Additionally, the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2, identified an EOF NRC communicator to be staffed within 60 minutes of an SAE or higher ECL. Exelon proposes to credit the TSC ENS communicator to provide information to the NRC in conjunction with the commitment to staff additional communicators as needed.

3.2.3 EP Function: Radiation Protection (formerly Radiological Assessment In-Plant Surveys and In-Plant Protective Actions)

The RP function includes the following tasks as defined in draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

Provide qualified radiation protection coverage for responders accessing potentially unknown radiological environments during emergency conditions.

Provide in-plant surveys.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 26 of 74 Control dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access.

The ability to provide radiological expertise when the plant is experiencing an event with serious radiological consequences is crucial, due to the unknown radiological environment faced by emergency workers, particularly at the onset of the event.

This function is staffed by two (2) qualified RP staff members on-shift. Under the proposed LGS ERO staffing and the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, the augmentation (support) of this position occurs in two (2) stages: 1) within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL, three (3) additional qualified RP staff are available; and 2) within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL, an additional three (3) qualified RP staff are available, and both are staffed in the OSC. The total number of qualified RP staff for the ERO is eight (8) considering the on-shift and augmented staff.

The draft "Technical Analysis in Support of the Guidance in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, SECTION II.B, Emergency Response Organization," for proposed Revision 2 states that: "based upon staff review and approval of ERO staffing plans, and the evaluation of licensee exercises, the [NRC] staff has determined that expecting 2 qualified RP staff on-shift is reasonable for the increased time period (30 minutes to 60 minutes), at which point additional RP resources would become available, and that 3 additional RP staff in 60 minutes and 3 additional RP staff in 90 minutes is acceptable to ensure the staff can maintain its reasonable assurance finding (10 CFR 50.47(a)). In addition, the [NRC]

staff has determined that field monitoring teams (FMTs) (onsite and offsite) can function with limited RP expertise while under the direct supervision of senior RP staff in the TSC or EOF, thus removing the need for a fully qualified RP staff member being a part of the FMT when their expertise is better suited supporting the ERO on-site." The senior RP staff supervising the FMTs at LGS is responsible for directing the FMTs as well as providing direction for their safety from the radiological event.

In addition, the Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of plant indications of fuel damage available at LGS.

Overall, the ERO functions assigned to qualified RP staff are more clearly defined in Table B-1 to the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance and support the reduction of the overall staffing levels for qualified RP Personnel.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan On-Shift ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

  • may be performed by persons assigned other functions Emergency Plan Change Assessment LGS currently maintains two (2) RP Technicians on-shift to satisfy the Emergency Plan requirements. One (1) RP Technician is assigned to the In-Plant Surveys Task.

Two (2) RP Technicians are assigned to the task of In-Plant Protective Actions; however, those tasks are considered collateral duties and the assigned RP Technicians may be assigned other functions (e.g., dose assessment). LGS will maintain two (2) qualified RP staff members on-shift; however, under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, the RP tasks are combined such that the need to add the clarifying note regarding other functions is not necessary. As such, the LGS ERO Staffing Table is revised to show two (2) qualified RP staff members for this function, without the note which states the task may be performed by persons assigned other functions.

The proposed revision also removes the Chemistry personnel from Table 2-1.

The Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of available plant indications of fuel damage available at LGS. Early indications of fuel damage can be identified through Containment Radiation Monitors, Core Instrumentation, or Effluent Radiation Monitors, all of which are available in the MCR.

An on-shift staffing analysis under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the Chemistry major task is not required per LGS procedures prior to augmentation. The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician is chemistry/radiochemistry sampling to identify fuel damage; however, no chemistry sampling tasks were noted as being time critical in any of the analyzed events.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 28 of 74 Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. LGS will maintain two (2) RP personnel on-shift to perform the RP functions and tasks for protection coverage for responders, in-plant surveys, dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment Currently, LGS designates six (6) Minimum Staff RP Personnel as required to support the EP Major Tasks of In-Plant Surveys and In-Plant Protective Actions at 60 minutes. LGS proposes to maintain six (6) Minimum Staff RP Personnel; however, consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, three (3) of those RP Personnel will respond within 90 minutes. Note for the purposes of this table, RP Personnel consists of persons with an ANSI qualification. This includes RP Technicians or qualified RP Staff members. This is consistent with the guidance provided in the NRCs Technical Basis for the Proposed Guidance in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,Section II.B, Emergency Response Organization.

Technological advances in RP tasks (i.e., protection coverage for responders, in-plant surveys, dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access) support the additional time proposed in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance for the three (3)

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 29 of 74 RPTs. This includes the availability of installed area, process, airborne and effluent radiation monitors, automated systems and information technology solutions supporting RWPs and dosimetry issuance, and enhanced work processes that are available under accident conditions. Supporting tools and processes include portal monitors, self-alarming dosimeters, and the automated access control system for the RCA that maintain active RWPs (e.g., the system verifies qualifications, dose margins, and access requirements).

The proposed revision also removes the one (1) Minimum Staff Chemistry personnel from Table 2-1. The Chemistry/Radiochemistry function listed in Table B-1 to Revision 1 of NUREG-0654, is no longer needed as the need for immediate reactor coolant sampling has been reduced due to the variety of available plant indications of fuel damage available at LGS. Early indications of fuel damage can be identified through Containment Radiation Monitors, Core Instrumentation, or Effluent Radiation Monitors, all of which are available in the MCR. If reactor sampling is desired, Chemistry Technicians are on staff at LGS and would be called in as necessary to support the event.

NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will staff three (3) additional RP Personnel at 60 minutes and three (3) more RP Personnel at 90 minutes in the OSC, consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The augmented staff will perform the RP functions for protection coverage for responders, in-plant surveys, dosimetry and radiologically controlled area access. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance.

3.2.4 EP Function: Supervision of Radiation Protection Staff and Site Radiation Protection Supervision of RP staff and Site RP Functions include the following tasks as defined in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

Evaluate and assess plant and offsite radiological data in the development of onsite protective actions and offsite PARs, until relieved.

Recommend onsite protective actions and offsite PARs to the applicable decision-maker, until relieved.

Direct all radiation protection activities, including Field Monitoring Team (FMT) direction, until relieved.

Provide relevant information to applicable communicators who are communicating offsite PARs to OROs, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response to a radiological event because the management of RP resources, and the assistance this position provides License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 30 of 74 the ED, is crucial for response to radiological events.

Radiological events can be very significant and constantly evolving, and require significant expertise in radiation and radiological consequences. The evaluation of radiological events, and the development of effective PARs, requires this expertise to support the ED in making these decisions.

This position is also responsible for the direction and protection of FMTs.

The augmentation (relief) of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL, or greater, and is staffed in the TSC. Also for LGS, at the Alert (or greater) ECL, an EOF RP Manager position is staffed. Note that this position is primarily tasked with providing the applicable command and control position (i.e., Corporate ED) relevant expertise on radiological events. This will increase the LGS emergency response at the Alert ECL and will ensure the EOF ERO will be immediately available should an Alert classification escalate to a SAE or GE.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan On-Shift ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Supervision of Radiation Protection Staff and Site Radiation Protection - On-shift Current Emergency Plan, Proposed Emergency Draft NUREG-0654, Table LGS 2-1 Plan Table Revision Guidance None Shift Emergency Operations Shift Director Manager Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan does not specifically identify this Function on-shift under Table LGS 2-1. To align with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, the Function is being added and assigned to the Shift ED. The tasks identified above align with current responsibilities for the Shift ED. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the major tasks under this Function identified above can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will utilize the Shift ED on-shift to perform the "Supervision of Radiation Protection Staff" function until relieved by the Augmented Staff. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 31 of 74 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

Protection SAE ECL or greater Manager Emergency Plan Change Assessment LGS will staff both the TSC RP Manager and the EOF RP Manager at 60 minutes from an Alert ECL consistent with current Emergency Plan commitments. There are no changes proposed to the current Emergency Plan for this Function.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The TSC RP Manager will perform site related duties which include actions to recommend onsite protective actions, to direct all radiation protection activities at the site, and to evaluate and assess plant radiological data in the development of onsite protective actions. The TSC RP Manager will also provide relevant information to applicable communicators who are communicating offsite PARs to OROs.

The EOF RP Manager will perform duties which include actions to support evaluation of offsite radiological data in the development of onsite protective actions and offsite PARs, and to direct FMTs at the Alert ECL, or greater.

LGS staffing of this Function is different than the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, in that LGS staffs both the TSC RP Manager and the EOF RP Manager at 60 minutes from an Alert ECL. The draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance does not staff the EOF RP Manager until the SAE declaration.

This will increase the LGS emergency response at the Alert ECL and will ensure that the EOF RP Manager will be immediately available should an Alert classification escalate to a SAE or GE ECL.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 32 of 74 The proposed ERO staffing activates the EOF earlier than the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

3.2.5 EP Function: Dose Assessments/Projections The Dose Assessments/ Projections function includes the following tasks as defined in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

Perform dose assessments/projections and provide input to applicable PAR decision-maker, until relieved.

This function is important for effective emergency response to a radiological event because timely dose assessments/projections ensure accurate and timely PARs can be developed, when necessary. LGS maintains the ability to staff this position at all times.

This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that this EP function can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

The augmentation (relief) of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the EOF.

Maintaining the ability to perform dose assessments/projections at all times ensures that the consequences of a radiological event, to the public, are effectively mitigated by providing timely dose related information to the Station ED (TSC) or Corporate ED (EOF) depending on which position is in command and control. As a result, this position (Function) is expected to be available on-shift and in the EOF depending on the ECL declared.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and LGS Emergency Plan on-shift ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 33 of 74 Emergency Plan Change Assessment LGS currently utilizes on-shift RP personnel from PBAPS to perform the Dose Assessment Function prior to augmentation of the ERO. To align with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, the LGS Emergency Plan is revised to remove this flexibility in staffing the on-shift Dose Assessment position. The LGS Emergency Plan will be revised to annotate the Dose Assessment Function as the collateral duty and annotated with note (1) "Other personnel may be assigned this function if no collateral duties are assigned to an individual that are beyond the capability of that individual to perform at any given time." Removing the additional actions to contact PBAPS and locate the on-shift RP Technician provides for a more efficient accomplishment of the Dose Assessment function. Exelon utilizes the on-shift RP Technician to perform Dose Assessment at other stations within the Exelon fleet.

The use of the on-shift RP Technician to perform Dose Assessment is assessed through an on-shift staffing analysis, via 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, to ensure that this EP Function can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will maintain a Shift Dose Assessor on-shift to perform dose assessments/projections and provide input to applicable PAR decision-maker functions. This function is performed by available qualified personnel (e.g., the on-shift RP Technician). Additionally, an on-shift staffing analysis under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the Dose Assessment function on shift can be performed by one (1) of the two (2) RP staff on shift without any additional competing priorities. The proposed ERO staffing for this Function is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

The proposed revision to the LGS Emergency Plan maintains that commitment of one (1) Dose Assessment staff to be activated within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or greater. There are no changes, other than position title, proposed for this EP Function.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The LGS proposed ERO staffing for the Dose Assessment Function is different than that in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. Specifically, the draft guidance provides for one (1) Dose Assessment position to be staffed at the TSC within 60 minutes of an Alert ECL or higher. A second Dose Assessor is staffed at the EOF within 60 minutes of an SAE ECL or higher. LGS proposes to staff one (1) EOF Dose Assessor at 60 minutes from an Alert (or greater) ECL.

The draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance was developed based on the premise that the TSC is activated at the Alert ECL or higher and the EOF is activated at the SAE ECL or higher. While the Dose Assessment function falls more in line with the EOF responsibilities, it is not activated within the draft NUREG-0654 guidance until a SAE ECL or higher. In order to provide early relief of the on-shift Dose Assessment function for Alert ECLs, the guidance provides a TSC Dose Assessor, which is available at the Alert ECL.

The LGS EOF is staffed within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL, making it unnecessary to staff the redundant TSC Dose Assessor. The EOF Dose Assessor Coordinator will perform duties which include actions to perform dose assessments/projections and provide input to applicable PAR decision-maker at the Alert ECL, or greater.

3.2.6 EP Function: Emergency Classifications The Emergency Classifications Function includes the following tasks as defined in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

Evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications, until relieved.

This function is important to ensure a prompt and effective emergency response.

Because the impetus for implementing the Emergency Plan is the determination of an EAL at the correct ECL, having this ability maintained at all times is essential. This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that this EP function is performed when needed without any additional competing priorities. The augmentation (relief) of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater)

ECL and is staffed in the TSC.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 35 of 74 Maintaining the ability to perform this function at all times ensures that ECL decisions, and as applicable, the PAR decisions, are timely and accurate as these decisions have a direct relationship to public health and safety from the consequences of a radiological event. This function works in coordination with the ED in command and control, and as a result is available on-shift and in the TSC.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The LGS Emergency Plan Table 2-1 does not currently specify a separate Emergency Classification Function for the On-shift Staff. LGS proposes to revise Emergency Plan Table LGS 2-1 to align with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty (e.g., STA). The STA/IA has the experience and training to fill this position and the responsibilities for monitoring plant operation are consistent with the EP position responsibilities. The STA/IA is trained in EAL classification and is available in the MCR to evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications as described in the draft NUREG 0654, Rev 2.

The STAs responsibilities are defined in Operations Procedure OP-AA-100-101, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel. The procedure states the STA/IA maintains a sufficient level of independence commensurate with station conditions to act as an advisor to the Shift Manager during abnormal and emergency conditions.

During abnormal and emergency conditions the procedure states the STA/IA is responsible to perform an independent assessment and diagnosis of station License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 36 of 74 conditions and provides recommendations to the operating team. This assessment shall include monitoring critical parameters and challenges to radioactive release barriers. The STA/IA is also responsible to perform an independent assessment of Emergency Plan classification (as time permits) and should not cause a delay in making the event classification within the required time limit.

This practice has been demonstrated and evaluated in Operations Training Program and EP Drills and Exercises. Additionally, the STA/IAs role as an Emergency Classification Advisor is assessed in the OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will maintain an Emergency Classification Advisor on-shift to evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Emergency Classifications - Minimum Staff Current Emergency Proposed Emergency Draft NUREG-0654, Plan, Table LGS 2-1 Plan Table Revision 2 Guidance None specified TSC (1) Operations TSC (1) Emergency Manager Classification Advisor (Emergency Classification Advisor)

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan does not specifically identify a Classification Advisor on Table 2-1. LGS proposes to utilize the Operations Manager to support EAL Classification. LGS proposes to revise the Emergency Plan Table 2-1 to include the Emergency Classification Function and assign the TSC Operations Manager to support and advise the non-delegable responsibility of EAL Classification. The Operations Manager under the Emergency Plan has the necessary background, experience and training to fill this position.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will staff a TSC Operations Manager at 60 minutes to evaluate plant conditions and recommend emergency classifications. The proposed ERO staffing is consistent License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 37 of 74 with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

3.2.7 EP Function: Engineering The Engineering function includes the following tasks as defined in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance:

Provide engineering coverage related to the specific discipline of the assigned engineer, until relieved. Specifically:

o An engineer to monitor and evaluate changing core/thermal hydraulic issues is important to effective emergency response because monitoring and evaluating core conditions, or thermal hydraulic conditions of the reactor coolant system, can support timely corrective action(s), ECL declarations, and subsequent PARs.

Radiological events from a power reactor come from damage to an operating reactor core, or the systems used to cool the core, and engineering expertise in this area can greatly benefit the licensees response.

This function is assigned to a pre-existing on-shift staff member as a collateral duty. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that this EP function is performed when needed without any additional competing priorities. The augmentation (relief) of this function is available within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the TSC.

o An engineer to provide expertise in Electrical/ I&C systems and equipment supports the evaluation of these systems/equipment and supports the development of repair plans if necessary. The augmentation (support) of this function occurs within 60-minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the TSC.

o An engineer to provide expertise in mechanical systems and equipment supports the evaluation of these systems/equipment and supports the development of repair plans if necessary. The augmentation (support) of this function occurs within 60-minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the TSC.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan utilizes the STA/IA to satisfy the on-shift responsibilities for the Plant System Engineering, Repair, and Corrective Actions Function (Major Tasks: Technical Support).

Under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, the EP Engineering function is included as an on-shift function. The LGS Emergency Plan would be revised to identify the Engineering Function is a collateral duty satisfied by the STA/IA on-shift.

Under Limericks procedure OP-AA-101-111, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel, the STA/IA is responsible to perform an independent assessment and diagnosis of station conditions and provides recommendations to the operating team.

This assessment shall include monitoring critical parameters and challenges to radioactive release barriers. The STA/IA is also responsible to monitor Critical Safety Function Status per the EOPs.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will maintain STA/IA on-shift to perform the Core/Thermal Hydraulics Engineer function as a collateral duty. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance and the proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The LGS Emergency Plan currently identifies a Minimum Staff of one (1) Core Thermal/Hydraulic Engineer, one (1) Mechanical Engineer and one (1) Electrical Engineer consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. These positions will continue as Minimum Staff in the proposed LGS Emergency Plan Table.

The following positions, currently identified as Minimum Staff under the LGS Emergency Plan, are being re-categorized as Full-Augmented Staff and managed within an EPIP.

TSC Technical Manager - Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the TSC Technical Manager responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position, as currently defined in the LGS Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The TSC Technical Manager License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 40 of 74 performs support activities such as supervisory actions, evaluations, coordination, assistance and monitoring activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Accumulate, tabulate and evaluate data on plant conditions.

Evaluate plant parameters during an emergency to determine the overall plant condition.

Coordinate core damage assessment activities.

Identify data points and control parameters that the Operations staff should monitor.

Ensure that current and adequate technical information is depicted on status boards.

Identify and direct staff in the development of special procedures needed to effect long-term safe shutdown or to mitigate a release.

Supervise the total onsite technical staff effort.

Act as the TSC liaison with state and appropriate NRC Site Team representatives.

Assist the Radiation Protection Manager for onsite radiological/technical matters.

Assist the Station Emergency Director in evaluating plant based PARs (prior to Corporate Emergency Director accepting command and control) and changes in event classification.

Supervise the activities of the TSC Technical Communicator.

Assume the duties and responsibilities of an Evaluator when transition to Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG) is initiated and supervise the activities of the SAMG Evaluator Team.

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance identified functions. As such, the TSC Technical Manager position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The TSC Technical Manager position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

SAMG Decision Maker / Two (2) SAMG Evaluators In 1985, the NRC issued its policy on Severe Reactor Accidents Regarding Future Designs and Existing Plants (i.e., 50FR32138). In mid-1988, the NRC staff License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 41 of 74 formulated a program plan for the integration and closure of severe accident issues.

NEI 91-04, "Severe Accident Issue Closure Guidelines," provides guidelines in the closure of the severe accident issues on a plant specific basis.

As a result, Exelon implemented Severe Accident Management Guidance (SAMG) for accidents. Guidance was developed for use by ERO personnel in assessing plant damage, planning and prioritizing response actions, and implementing strategies that delineate actions inside and outside the MCR. Strategies and guidance were interfaced with the EOPs and Emergency Plans.

When plant conditions warrant entry into SAMG conditions, the Station ED or other qualified individual (e.g., Operations Manager) assumes the role of decision-maker.

The Technical Manager and/or another qualified individual(s) assumes the role of Evaluator (at least two (2) are required), and the MCR staff assumes the role of Implementers.

Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the TSC SAMG Decision-Maker and SAMG Evaluator responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The position, as currently defined in the LGS Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO staff needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented).

As such, the TSC SAMG Decision-Maker and SAMG Evaluator positions can be deleted from the Minimum Staff Table. LGS will continue to describe the SAMG interface in the Emergency Plan and maintain its existing commitments for the program.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will staff a Core Thermal/Hydraulic Engineer, a Mechanical Engineer, and an Electrical Engineer at 60 minutes to provide engineering coverage related to their specific discipline. The TSC SAMG Decision-Maker and SAMG Evaluator positions, as well as the TSC Tech Manager position are not identified in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance.

3.2.8 EP Function: Security The LGS Security Force is controlled and maintained by the NRC-approved Physical Security Plan (PSP) and is not reflected in the Emergency Plan. However, the establishment of a Security position in the TSC is advantageous to ensure effective coordination between the security force and the ERO, particularly for events where offsite resources are necessary as well as for security related events and site personnel accountability. The augmentation (support) of this function occurs within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed by Security personnel in the TSC to coordinate License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 42 of 74 security-related activities with that of the ERO. The command and control staff of the TSC all respond within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL to ensure that the ED has access to the resources and expertise of the site staff in order to develop response plans for a wide-spectrum of events.

The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance.

3.2.9 EP Function: Repair Team Activities The NRC has determined that, from an EP perspective, the ability to get Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) equipment operational was the primary basis for necessitating maintenance expertise while on-shift. The LGS ECCS are designed to be redundant and diverse such that common mode failures are very unlikely. From the LGS UFSAR:

The ECCS is provided to prevent excessive fuel clad temperature as a result of a LOCA. The ECCS provides for continuity of core cooling over the complete range of postulated break sizes in the nuclear system process barrier. The ECCS is diverse, reliable, and redundant. Operation of the ECCS is initiated automatically when required, regardless of the availability of offsite power supplies and the normal generating system of the plant.

the ECCS network has built-in redundancy so that adequate cooling can be provided, even in the event of specified failures. As a minimum, the following equipment makes up the ECCS:

1. One HPCI system
2. Two Core Spray (CS) loops
3. Four Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) loops
4. One ADS The ECCS is designed so that a single active or passive component failure, including power buses, electrical and mechanical parts, cabinets, and wiring, cannot disable the ADS.

As a result of the redundant and diverse design, the need to accommodate maintenance functionality on-shift is unnecessary. Nevertheless, a minimum number of Maintenance personnel are assigned to respond to an event as part of the ERO, with more personnel available on an as-needed basis depending on the event.

The augmentation (support) of the I&C position occurs within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the OSC. The OSC is the ERF associated with maintenance tasks, as directed by the Command and Control staff in the TSC.

(1) I&C Maintenance (1) Radwaste Operator Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan allows the Mechanical and Electrical Maintenance Repair Activities Function to be performed as a collateral duty by plant Operators.

The proposed revision utilizes the language from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance; however, adopting the guidance from the draft NUREG to utilize Operations staff to perform this EP function does not change with this proposed amendment.

The LGS Emergency Plan calls for a Radwaste Operator to be on shift. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, LGS processed larger volumes of dirty and clean radwaste liquids. Initiatives to reduce plant leakage and minimize dirty radwaste have significantly reduced the volume of waste water. With improvements in water management that have occurred over the years, LGS no longer needs a dedicated Radwaste Operator on shift at all times. The Radwaste function is being removed from the LGS Emergency Plan, Table 2-1 as a dedicated on-shift position. A review of procedures and tasks, including the activities directed by the normal plant License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 45 of 74 operating procedures for a plant shutdown, as well as AOPs and EOPs was performed. The minimum shift staff was determined to be sufficient to perform all required actions without support from the dedicated Radwaste Operator. Note that all Equipment Operators on shift at LGS are qualified to operate Radwaste systems when needed.

The LGS Emergency Plan also contains (1) on-shift I&C Technician to support the Repair Activities Function. A review of procedures and tasks, including the activities directed by the normal plant operating procedures for a plant shutdown, as well as AOPs and EOPs was performed. The minimum shift staff was determined to be sufficient to perform all required actions without support from the dedicated I&C Technician. The necessary timeframe for performing manual actions as well as the training required to perform the tasks was considered. Other operator actions that may be required in the first 60 minutes of the event would be to align equipment for repair. This has also been evaluated under the Equipment Operator training program and no additional tasks are required. Based on this review, eliminating the on-shift I&C Technician Repair and Corrective Action ERO responder has no effect on the performance of associated tasks during the early part of an event and maintains the effectiveness of the ERO on-shift response.

An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 was performed to ensure that the major tasks under this Function identified above can be performed when needed without any additional competing priorities.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will maintain plant Operators on-shift to perform the actions necessary to run the ECCS systems and perform minor maintenance activities. The ECCS systems at LGS are diverse and redundant such that Maintenance technicians are not required on-shift. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan provides for two (2) Mechanical Maintenance technicians, two (2) Electrical Maintenance Technicians and one (1) I&C to the OSC at 60 minutes. LGS is revising the Maintenance response consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, which provides for one (1) technician from each discipline to be staffed as Minimum Staff. Additional technicians are available and would be called as needed depending on the nature of the emergency repairs needed. LGS has a proven Work Management program that has demonstrated the ability to respond to emergent work activity issues during off hours, weekends, and holidays. In an emergency situation, the Minimum Staff OSC responders from each Maintenance discipline would be available to assess the required work activities, begin preparation activities, and request the needed support in a timely manner. The proposed staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance and provides the necessary personnel to respond to the emergency condition.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS will staff one (1) Mechanical and one (1) Electrical Maintenance Technician at 60 minutes to perform the maintenance activities from the OSC to respond to the emergency condition. An I&C Technician will respond within 90 minutes consistent with the draft NUREG-0654 guidance. Depending on the need, additional Maintenance Technicians will be called in to support the OSC activities. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 47 of 74 3.2.10 EP Function: Supervision of Repair Team Activities The ability to effectively supervise repair team personnel during emergency response is important. The augmentation (support) of these functions is as follows:

A Lead OSC Supervisor (OSC Director) is staffed within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the OSC.

An Electrical Supervisor/Lead, a Mechanical Supervisor/Lead, an I&C Supervisor/Lead, and an RP Supervisor/Lead is staffed within 90 minutes of an SAE (or greater) ECL and is staffed in the OSC.

The OSC Director can effectively manage the Maintenance resources for the additional 30 minutes prior to the specific craft (Mechanical, Electrical, or I&C) responding, as demonstrated through drills and exercises.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan on-shift ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment LGS does not currently have an ERO on-shift position for the Repair Team Supervisor. LGS proposes to add the collateral duty of Repair Team Supervisor to the Emergency Plan Table. Operators fulfill the requirements for on-shift Maintenance, so the Operations Shift Supervisor would maintain the supervision of the operators in this capacity. An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 assessed that the supervision of on-shift Operations personnel performing the Maintenance function can be performed when needed by an Operations Shift Supervisor without any additional competing priorities.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan Table LGS 2-1 identifies the Supervisory positions of OSC Director and TSC Maintenance Manager under the Major Task of Repair and Corrective Actions. The OSC Director effectively manages the Maintenance resources upon activation of the facility.

LGS is adding four (4) Minimum Staff positions to the OSC to be staffed at 90 minutes. These include an Electrical Maintenance Supervisor/Lead Technician, a Mechanical Maintenance Supervisor/Lead Technician, an I&C Supervisor/Lead Technician, and a RP Supervisor/Lead Technician. The addition of the four (4)

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 49 of 74 supervisor positions enhances the ERO response by putting in place effective supervision repair team personnel early in the emergency response.

TSC Maintenance Manager - The Maintenance Manager is being re-categorized from Minimum Staff to Full-Augmentation Staff. Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the TSC Maintenance Manager responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position, as currently defined in the Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The TSC Maintenance Manager performs support activities such as supervisory actions, validations, coordination, and assistance activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Direct the total onsite maintenance and equipment restoration effort.

Request additional equipment in order to expedite recovery and restoration.

Supervise the activities of the OSC Director and the TSC Damage Control Communicator.

Ensure the Operations Manager is informed of OSC staffing utilization and activities.

In coordination with the Operations Manager, determine the priority assigned to OSC activities.

Ensure adequate staffing of the OSC.

Assist in rescue operations.

Identify required procedures that need to be written or implemented in support of the response efforts.

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 identified functions. As such, the TSC Maintenance Manager position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The TSC Maintenance Manager position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment Under the proposed LGS Emergency Plan staffing, the OSC Director position is staffed within 60 minutes to oversee the activation of the OSC facility and the maintenance craft as they arrive. The Mechanical, Electrical, I&C, and RP License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 50 of 74 Supervisors/Lead Technicians staff at 90 minutes to support coordination and supervision of repair team activities.

LGS proposes one difference to the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

Specifically, LGS proposes to allow a Maintenance or RP Lead Technician to fill the supervisory role at 90 minutes. Under the Exelon Maintenance and RP programs, Lead Technicians are qualified, experienced craft technicians who successfully demonstrate the day-to-day leadership of the technician work force and act as lead on back shifts. Duties and responsibilities include training and development of other employees in performing preventive maintenance and routine equipment service activities. Basic qualifications for a Lead Technician include demonstrated reliability and responsibility and the ability to make quick and effective technical decisions, as well as demonstrated situational leadership, environmental and safety stewardship.

The experience and qualification of LGS Lead Technicians satisfy the requirements and the needs of the OSC for the Supervision of Repair Team Activities EP Function.

Other than the difference discussed above, the proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance.

3.2.11 EP Function: Field Monitoring Teams (FMTs)

The ability to locate, monitor, and track a radioactive plume is important to ensure appropriate protective measures are taken in response to a radiological event. The ability to staff these teams before they may be needed (i.e., before a radiological release) greatly enhances the ability to provide timely and accurate PARs.

The augmentation (support) for these teams is as follows:

On-site Field Monitoring An On-site Field Monitoring person is staffed consisting of personnel to monitor radiation. This on-site position is responsible for radiological monitoring of the sites PA. The size and configuration of the LGS PA does not support the need of an accompanying driver. The PA can be easily and efficiently traversed without use of a vehicle. This RP person is staffed within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL.

The On-site Field Monitor is qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but is not necessarily an ANSI-qualified RP Technician since the person is under the direct supervision of RP Manager in the TSC. Note: the On-site Field Monitor would not be staffed if the radiological conditions jeopardize the safety of the Onsite Field Monitor.

Offsite Field Monitoring An Offsite FMT is staffed, consisting of a Monitor and a driver, within 60 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL. This Offsite FMT is responsible for locating, License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 51 of 74 monitoring, and tracking a radioactive plume, as well as obtaining environmental samples as necessary (e.g., air, water, vegetation, etc.). The Monitor is qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but need not be an ANSI-qualified RP Technician as long as the FMT is under the direct supervision of senior staff in the TSC or EOF.

Another Offsite FMT is staffed, consisting of a monitor and a driver, within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL. This Offsite FMT is also responsible for locating, monitoring, and tracking a radioactive plume, as well as obtaining environmental samples (e.g., air, water, vegetation, etc.).

The Monitor is qualified to assess radiation and contamination levels, but need not be an ANSI-qualified RP technician as long as the FMT is under the direct supervision of senior staff in the TSC or EOF.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan on-shift ERO, as well as the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

EP Function: Field Monitoring Teams - On-Shift Staff Current Emergency Proposed Emergency Draft NUREG-0654, Plan, Table LGS 2-1 Plan Table Revision 2 Guidance (2) Offsite Field N/A N/A Team Personnel Emergency Plan Change Assessment Limerick maintains an Offsite Field Monitoring Team on shift. The Team was placed on-shift as an alternative to satisfy the NUREG-0654, Revision 1, 30-minute responders for this Task when PBAPS and Limerick combined their Emergency Plan in the early 1990s. Limerick proposes to remove the Offsite Field Monitoring personnel and align this function with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

An OSA under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 assessed that the Offsite Field Monitoring Team did not have any on-shift actions and was not required on-shift at Limerick.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment There are no differences or deviations from the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

The proposed ERO staffing is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. The assigned major tasks are aligned with those stated in the draft NUREG-0654 guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan ERO, as well as the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for this EP Function.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment Onsite Field Monitoring - The current LGS Emergency Plan designates two (2) RP personnel as Minimum Staff for the EP function of On-site Surveys. The proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan designate one (1) RP person for on-site surveys. The number of RP personnel for this function is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. Note there is a difference with respect to the designated on-site FMT Driver (discussed below). The reduction in RP personnel to this task is acceptable because one (1) Field Monitor dedicated to monitor and survey the site area is sufficient to provide current and timely data to the TSC/EOF in emergency conditions. At Exelon stations, the onsite Field Monitor is responsible only for monitoring the PA. The size of the stations PA allows traverse in minutes and a second RP Field Monitor would not be required to perform this function. The monitoring equipment is hand-held and does not require two (2) personnel for transport or operation. The Owner Controlled Area (OCA) has an infrastructure that supports vehicular traffic and will be monitored by the Offsite FMTs. This is the current Exelon process and has been demonstrated successfully through drills and exercises at Exelon stations.

Offsite Field Monitoring Teams - The Offsite FMTs at LGS currently consist of two (2)

Field Teams, one team is maintained on shift and a second team staffing at 60 minutes; each consisting of a driver and one (1) RP personnel. LGS proposes to change the Offsite FMTs to be consistent with the draft NUREG- 0654, Revision 2 guidance. Specifically, there would be two (2) FMTs, but one (1) FMT would staff at 60 minutes and one FMT would staff at 90 minutes. Additional time in the response is considered acceptable. Since both FMTs are expected to respond to an event and in order to better coordinate radioactive plume tracking action(s), allowing for additional time provides some flexibility in staffing this ERO function without License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 53 of 74 compromising the "reasonable assurance" finding in accordance with 10 CFR 50.47(a).

EOF Environmental Coordinator - The EOF Environmental Coordinator is being re-categorized from Minimum Staff to Full-Augmentation Staff. Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the EOF Environmental Coordinator responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance, but rather support other personnel at the TSC. The position, as currently defined in the Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the Emergency Plan may not be effectively implemented). The EOF Environmental Coordinator performs support activities such as coordination, communication, monitoring, and assistance activities. Specific responsibilities include:

Coordinate the transfer of control of the Field Monitoring Teams if initially under the direction of the TSC Radiological Controls Coordinator.

Ensure communications are established with the TSC to obtain information on the accident conditions, meteorological conditions and estimates of radioactive material releases.

Maintain cognizance of Field Monitoring Team exposure. When warranted, ask the Dose Assessment Coordinator to initiate an evaluation of the need for administering KI to Exelon nuclear workers.

Determine needs of the Dose Assessment Coordinator, the Dose Assessor, the HPN Communicator and the State Environs Communicator(s) for updates on Field Monitoring Team data and ensure distribution of new data to them in accordance with those needs. (task transferred to EOF RPM)

Upon request, provide environmental data to Emergency Public Information personnel.

Evaluate and coordinate additional equipment and personnel as necessary from unaffected stations to augment and/or relieve station Field Monitoring Teams.

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 identified functions. As such, the EOF Environmental Coordinator position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The EOF Environmental Coordinator position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 54 of 74 Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The proposed ERO staffing for Onsite Field Monitoring is different than that proposed in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. Specifically, LGS On-site Field Monitoring will be staffed without a designated driver.

At Exelon stations, the On-site Field Monitor is responsible only for monitoring the area within the PA. The size of the stations PA allows traverse of foot in minutes and a designated driver would not be required to perform this function. The PA is size allows efficient traverse without the use of a vehicle. The monitoring equipment is hand-held and does not require a vehicle for transport. Additionally, the PA does not have an infrastructure which readily supports vehicle transportation.

For Exelon stations, the OCA supports vehicular traffic and is the responsibility of one of the Offsite FMTs. This has been demonstrated successfully through drills and exercises at Exelon stations. The 60-minute and 90-minute Offsite FMTs will staff consistent with the draft NUREG- 0654, Revision 2 guidance. There are no differences or deviations from the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance for the Offsite FMTs.

3.2.12 EP Function: Media Information The Media Information function includes the following tasks:

Manage and coordinate media information related to the event.

Media relations is an important part of effective emergency response and is consistent with the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Revision 1 of NUREG-0654 left the exact staffing composition flexible, with input from applicable OROs, and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The augmentation (support) of this function is defined for LGS to be that which is absolutely needed to support this function (i.e., without those positions, this function could not occur).

LGS is supported through the Exelon Communications Department at all times. The Communications Department responds to media inquiries initially for any ECL. The Communications Department coordinates with Exelon Management and ERFs to respond to media inquiries. Press releases are issued as appropriate from the Communications Department.

Within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL, the LGS Emergency Plan is revised to describe the positions of Corporate Spokesperson, Public Information Director, and Joint Information Center (JIC) Director as those necessary to support the additional news media related tasks associated with the more significant classifications. These tasks include periodic press briefings, media engagement, and coordination with State and local Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs).

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan identifies three (3) Minimum Staff positions to be staffed following an Alert ECL to address the Media Information EP Function. The positions report to the JIC. The positions consist of the Corporate Spokesperson, Public Information Director, and JIC Director. The LGS Emergency Plan, in contrast License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 56 of 74 to other Minimum Staff positions, does not specify an activation time requirement.

The proposed LGS Emergency Plan changes maintain the three (3) JIC positions; however, the response time is being revised to activate within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL. The revision to the Emergency Plan adds a specific facility activation time of 90 minutes from an Alert (or greater) ECL. The Exelon Corporate Communications Department is capable of responding to and addressing events prior to the arrival of the JIC Minimum Staff at 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater)

ECL.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The proposed ERO staffing activates the JIC at a lower ECL than the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. Exelon proposes to activate the JIC within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL. The 90-minute activation time provides for a larger population of candidates to fill the JIC minimum staff positions and is offset to some degree by the activation of the JIC at a lower ECL than stipulated in the draft guidance. The Exelon Communications Department will provide for the JIC functions until the JIC is activated and turnover of responsibility occurs.

LGS will staff a Corporate Spokesperson at the JIC to maintain Command and Control of the JIC and conduct periodic briefings with the news media. The JIC Director is staffed at the JIC to coordinate with the State, local and Federal agencies to maintain factual consistency of information conveyed. LGS will also staff a Public Information Director to oversee the issuance of news releases and media monitoring/rumor control. The Public Information Director function may be performed remotely by taking advantage of advancements in communication technology.

3.2.13 EP Function: Information Technology The Information Technology (IT) function includes the following tasks:

If Emergency Plan functions rely on computer-based equipment, provide IT support.

The ever-increasing advances in technology have led to significant enhancements in many areas of emergency response, such as communications, monitoring, displays, digital procedures, etc. LGS has assessed the use of this technology as it is used to enhance the ability to protect the health and safety of the public with respect to EP.

a. On-Shift Staff - There are no on-shift staff assigned to this EP Function; however, the Exelon IT department maintains a 24 hour/day HELP Desk to assist users with IT related issues.

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The current LGS Emergency Plan does not identify IT positions as Minimum Staff.

LGS maintains a Computer Specialist position at the EOF as a Full-Augmentation position. Performance of digital equipment at the EOF and TSC has shown to be acceptable during drills and exercises with this staffing. With the built-in redundancy for communication systems and digital EP assets, LGS has not identified a need to maintain an IT Lead as a Minimum Staff position at the TSC facility. The EOF License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 58 of 74 Computer Specialist is revised to Minimum Staff with a response time of 90 minutes from the Alert or higher ECL.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment LGS proposes to staff an IT Lead at the EOF as Minimum Staff; however, LGS proposes to staff the position within 90 minutes of an Alert (or greater) ECL, rather than 60 minutes of a SAE. LGS does not propose to staff an IT Lead position as minimum staff at the TSC. The draft NUREG 0654, Revision 2, guidance states:

IT staff is only required to be described in the emergency plan if the emergency response is reliant on IT equipment to the extent where failure of IT equipment would prevent the effective implementation of the emergency plan. In other words, if the failure of IT equipment prevents the effective implementation of the emergency plan (i.e., redundant methods/options are unavailable or not timely),

then this EP function should be developed as described.

The LGS EOF and TSC contain multiple computers and programs in the facility which support EP functions. This includes Plant Parameter Display Systems, Core Damage Assessment and Dose Assessment programs, as well as Web EOC, fax, and copy machines. Performance during drills and exercises indicates consistent performance of the digital assets in the facilities. The communications, dose assessment and core damage assessment equipment is periodically tested and issues, if any identified, are promptly addressed. The facilities and respective digital equipment are frequently used through administration of training for each team, as well as drills and Exercises. In addition, the IT Department maintains a Site IT Duty Person (SIDP) per procedure IT-AA-2001, Information Technology Response to Emergent Issues Process, for each station. During duty periods, the SIDP must be fit for duty, available, reachable by telephone, pager, and/ or cell phone at all times.

The SIDP functions as the single point of contact for site IT during the duty period.

When contacted, must respond to all requests for emergent assistance, including conference calls.

Manage the response to the emergent IT issues at the site. Primary role to coordinate recovery actions with Vendors and other support teams, as needed.

Ensure that the appropriate priority and resources are assigned to address all emergent issues.

Utilize SY-AA-102-201, Call-Outs for Unscheduled Work, for any required Call-Outs Additionally, Exelon maintains an IT HELP Desk 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day, 7 days a week.

Many computer issues can be addressed remotely with an IT specialist at the HELP Desk. If additional help is needed at the TSC, the EOF IT Specialist will be available to support resolution of the issue.

In addition, each of these EP related digital assets in the TSC and EOF were evaluated as part of implementation of the Cyber Security Rule, 10 CFR 73.54(b).

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 59 of 74 Under NEI 13-10, "Cyber Security Control Assessments," EP Critical Digital Assets at the TSC and EOF have been assessed and controls have been put in place to protect the assets against cyber-attack. In conjunction with these controls, alternate administrative, non-digital, or adequately independent means have been put in place for performing each EP function, should the digital component or program fail for any reason. For example, both the Core Damage Assessment program and the Dose Assessment programs have a redundant, non-network laptop computer at their respective facility to maintain the EP function should the designated computer fail.

ERO position procedures have written instructions for backup communication measures should the primary means fail.

Finally, performance of digital assets are monitored through either the Corrective Action Program or the EP Drill and Exercise critique process. Performance trends are monitored and corrective actions are implemented as necessary.

Under the LGS Emergency Plan, the EOF Logistics Manager responsibilities do not directly perform actions necessary to accomplish EP functions under NUREG-0654 guidance, but rather support other personnel at the EOF. The position, as currently defined in the Emergency Plan, would not be considered as part of the absolute minimum ERO needed to implement the License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 60 of 74 emergency plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the emergency plan may not be effectively implemented). The EOF Logistics Manager performs support activities such as monitoring, advising, validations, coordination, and assistance activities). Specific responsibilities include:

Ensure contact is made and communications are maintained with appropriate non-Exelon Nuclear personnel whose assistance may be required to terminate the emergency conditions and to expedite the recovery.

Advise the EOF Director concerning the status of activities relating to governmental interfaces.

Obtain support from Human Resources, the Comptrollers Office, the Legal Department, Accounting Department and others as required.

Coordinate with the Nuclear Duty Officer to maintain communications with ANI and INPO.

Ensure shift relief and continual staffing for the EOF.

Each of these tasks above are considered support activities and are not required to directly accomplish any of the NUREG-0654 identified functions. As such, the EOF Logistics Manager position can be deleted from the Minimum Staff and maintained as a Full-Augmentation position. The EOF Logistics Manager position and the listed responsibilities are being relocated to an EPIP.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The Resource Allocation and Administration EP Function does not exist in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. Removing the Logistics Manager and re-License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 61 of 74 categorizing the position as Full-Augmentation is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

3.2.15 EP Function: First Aid and Rescue Operations The First Aid and Rescue Operations EP Function no longer exists in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

a. On-Shift Staff - The table below identifies the current and proposed LGS Emergency Plan on-shift ERO staff.

EP Function: First Aid and Rescue Operations - On-Shift Staff Current Emergency Plan Proposed Emergency Plan (2) First Aid and Rescue Not Applicable Operations personnel (May be performed by personnel assigned other functions)

Emergency Plan Change Assessment The LGS Emergency Plan identifies two (2) persons fulfilling the EP Function of First Aid and Rescue Operations as collateral duties. LGS utilizes Operators and/or RP Personnel to satisfy this responsibility. First Aid and Rescue is no longer identified as an EP Function under the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Table B-1 guidance.

First Aid is still maintained as part of the draft NUREG-0654 Revision 2, guidance under Section II.L, "Planning Standard for Medical and Public Health Support." As such, LGS will continue to maintain qualified First Aid and Rescue personnel on shift; however, the personnel resources are no longer listed on the Emergency Plan Table consistent with the NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

Draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Alignment The First Aid and Rescue Operations EP Function does not exist in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 Table B-1 guidance. Therefore, removing the Function from the Emergency Plan is consistent with the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance.

b. Minimum Staff - There are no ERO resources assigned to First Aid and Rescue Operations under the current LGS Emergency Plan. Additionally, the First Aid and Rescue Operations EP Function does not exist in the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance. No revision is required to the LGS Emergency Plan.

Neither NUREG-0654, Revision 1 or the draft Revision 2 document discuss Full-Augmentation positions under Table B-1. In the draft Revision 2, Table B-1, Note iii addresses the required minimum staffing as compared to other staff not critical to the effective Emergency Plan implementation. Note iii states:

iii. The minimum ERO staffing plan is that which is required to effectively implement the site-specific emergency plan (i.e., the emergency plan cannot be effectively implemented without this staff). The emergency plan should describe the minimum ERO staffing plan, while supporting implementing procedures can describe any other staff response desired by the licensee as long as this staff is not critical to effective emergency plan implementation.

The augmentation times listed are intended to provide a model for applicants and licensees to consider in the development of their site-specific emergency plan.

The intent of this note is to emphasize the distinction between ERO minimum staffing and ERO members who serve in a supporting capacity.

The LGS Emergency Plan describes the Minimum Staff ERO that is the absolute minimum needed to implement the station's Emergency Plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed, then the Emergency Plan cannot be effectively implemented).

LGS utilizes additional Full-Augmentation ERO Staff that are trained, qualified, and available to ensure all available licensee resources are used when a radiological emergency occurs and to provide for staff relief on a 24-hour / 7-day a week extended basis. The Full-Augmentation Staff performs support functions such as intra-facility communications, organization liaisons, and expert advisors. This description of the additional Full-Augmentation ERO Staff is being relocated from the LGS Emergency Plan to an EPIP.

The LGS Emergency Plan shall be effectively implemented utilizing the Minimum Staff positions. However, most Full-Augmentation Staff will still be assigned ERO teams, be expected to maintain Fitness-for-Duty during duty weeks, and be notified to respond to their ERF at the Alert or higher ECL. Their presence will not be required, however, to activate the respective ERFs.

The complete list of Full-Augmented Staff relocated from the LGS Emergency Plan, along with their respective EP tasks is listed in Enclosure 3 of this submittal. Each EP task assigned under the Emergency Plan is further evaluated and dispositioned in Enclosure 3.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 66 of 74 3.4 Other Changes to the Emergency Plan 3.4.1 Command and Control Turnover The Exelon Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan EP-AA-1000, Part II, Sections B.3 and B.4, are being revised to reflect the changes to the Command and Control turnover description. With the proposed changes in ERO, the description of the turnover process is revised to describe the transfer of non-delegable duties for PARs and State/local notifications directly from the MCR to the EOF. Note that under the current Emergency Plan, the MCR has the option to transfer PAR and State/local notification responsibilities directly to the EOF or to the TSC on an interim basis should the EOF be unavailable. The section of the Emergency Plan is revised to no longer describe the capability to transfer PARs and State/local notifications to the TSC on an interim basis. The revision will have no impact on timeliness or resources since the EOF and TSC are both staffed within 60 minutes of declaration and will continue to have staff available to perform the functions. The Command and Control turnover of responsibilities between the MCR, TSC, and EOF will occur concurrently on a bridge-line without delay.

3.5 Impact of Proposed Changes on State Emergency Plan 3.5.1 Potential Impact of ERO Changes on Off-Site Emergency Response Organizational Interfaces On January 29, 2018, Exelon held a meeting with representatives of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) to discuss the proposed changes to Limericks Emergency Plan and to ensure the revision had no adverse impact on the ability of State and local response organizations to effectively implement their FEMA-approved RERP plans. Exelon subsequently provided a draft copy of this License Amendment Request to representatives from both PEMA and BRP.

BRP provided information via electronic mail dated February 6, 2018, and PEMA provided information via electronic mail dated February 8, 2018, stating that based on their initial review, neither organization had "any concerns at this time." PEMA further stated they "will conduct a formal review with the Bureau of Radiation Protection once the proposed amendments have been issued and will submit our input as part of the NRCs review." Refer to Enclosure 5, "Information Related to Review of Proposed Changes by the States," for a copy of the referenced State communications.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The proposed changes have been evaluated to determine whether applicable regulations and requirements continue to be met.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 67 of 74 Section 50.47, "Emergency plans," of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) sets forth the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Emergency Plan requirements for nuclear power plant facilities. The regulation in 10 CFR 50.47(a)(1)(i) states, in part:

no initial operating license for a nuclear power reactor will be issued unless a finding is made by the NRC that there is reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

Section 50.47(b) establishes the standards that the onsite and offsite emergency response plans must meet for NRC staff to make a positive finding that there is reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.

Planning Standard (2) of this section requires that:

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 onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities are specified.

Section IV.A of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," states:

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:

1. A description of the normal plant operating organization.
2. A description of the onsite emergency response organization (ERO) with a detailed discussion of:
a. Authorities, responsibilities, and duties of the individual(s) who will take charge during an emergency;
b. Plant staff emergency assignments;
c. Authorities, responsibilities, and duties of an onsite emergency coordinator who shall be in charge of the exchange of information with offsite authorities responsible for coordinating and implementing offsite emergency measures.
3. A description, by position and function to be performed, of the licensee's headquarters personnel who will be sent to the plant site to augment the onsite emergency organization.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 68 of 74

4. Identification, by position and function to be performed, of persons within the licensee organization who will be responsible for making offsite dose projections, and a description of how these projections will be made and the results transmitted to State and local authorities, NRC, and other appropriate governmental entities.
5. Identification, by position and function to be performed, of other employees of the licensee with special qualifications for coping with emergency conditions that may arise. Other persons with special qualifications, such as consultants, who are not employees of the licensee and who may be called upon for assistance for emergencies shall also be identified. The special qualifications of these persons shall be described.
6. A description of the local offsite services to be provided in support of the licensee's emergency organization.
7. By June 23, 2014, identification of, and a description of the assistance expected from, appropriate State, local, and Federal agencies with responsibilities for coping with emergencies, including hostile action at the site. For purposes of this appendix, "hostile action" is defined as an act directed toward a nuclear power plant or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force.
8. Identification of the State and/or local officials responsible for planning for, ordering, and controlling appropriate protective actions, including evacuations when necessary.
9. By December 24, 2012, for nuclear power reactor licensees, 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.

Revision 1 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," dated November 1980, was intended to aid licensees, applicants for licenses, or State and local emergency response organizations in the development of their Radiological Emergency Response Plans. The NRC endorsed this document for use in this effort via Revision 2 to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.101, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors," dated October 1981. RG 1.101 allowed for licensees to submit alternatives to the guidance provided in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 for staff review and approval if necessary.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 69 of 74 Section II.B of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, 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, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available, and the interfaces among various onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities are specified.

Evaluation Criteria 5 of Section II.B of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, 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 onsite 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.

10 CFR 50.54(q) establishes requirements that all holders of a nuclear power reactor operating license must follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities." 10 CFR 50.47 of 10 CFR, "Emergency plans," sets forth emergency plan requirements for nuclear power plant facilities.

NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," provides guidance and acceptance criteria to provide a basis for NRC licensees, State and local governments to develop radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness.

Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans for Nuclear Power Reactors," provides guidance related to emergency preparedness and specifically to making changes to emergency response plans.

NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2005-02, Revision 1, "Clarifying the Process for Making Emergency Plan Changes," which provides guidance to (1) clarify the meaning of a "decrease in effectiveness," as stated in 10 CFR 50.54(q); (2) clarify the process for evaluating proposed changes to emergency plans; (3) provide a method for evaluating proposed changes to emergency plans; and (4) provide clarifying guidance on the appropriate content and format of applications submitted to the NRC for approval prior to implementation.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 70 of 74 NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants," provides guidance for addressing emergency planning requirements for nuclear power plants. This guidance is based on changes to Emergency preparedness regulations 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, that were published in the Federal Register (FR) on November 23, 2011 (i.e., reference 76FR 72560). The guidance should be used by licensees and applicants for implementing changes to onsite EP programs based on the revised emergency preparedness requirements and by NRC for reviewing the adequacy of the revised onsite emergency preparedness programs.

In addition, Exelon also reviewed draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 (NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 2), "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," dated May 2015 and draft RIS 201X-XX, "License Amendment Requests for Changes to Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation" (ML15338A291) in support of this submittal.

Exelon has evaluated the proposed changes against the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance criteria. The proposed Emergency Plan changes continue to assure that regulatory requirements and emergency planning standards associated with emergency response are met.

4.2 Precedent There is no industry precedent for licensees implementing changes based on the draft NUREG-0654, Revision 2 guidance; however, there have been other ERO staffing amendments approved by the NRC within the last few years. Specifically, on March 14, 2017, the NRC approved Southern Nuclear Operating Companys License Amendment Request to standardize the Emergency Plans for the Joseph M. Farley, Edwin I. Hatch and Vogtle Nuclear Plant Stations which included changes to the ERO staffing (ML16141A109). Regarding Exelon stations, a revision to the Three Mile Island Emergency Plan related to ERO staffing was approved by the NRC on June 23, 2017 (ML17137A393).

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) requests amendments to the following licenses:

NPF-39 and NPF Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, respectively The requested amendments to the licenses support changes to the Limerick Generating Station (LGS) Emergency Plan based upon completion of a supporting evaluation of onsite Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staffing. The proposed changes will help align the Exelon nuclear stations' minimum staff ERO with the draft NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 2 guidance.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 71 of 74 The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the applicable requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, 10 CFR 50, Appendix E and other applicable NRC guidance criteria. Exelon has evaluated the proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan and determined that the changes do not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration. In support of this determination, an evaluation of each of the three (3) standards, set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," is provided below.

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan do not increase the probability or consequences of an accident. The proposed changes do not impact the function of plant Structures, Systems, or Components (SSCs). The proposed changes do not affect accident initiators or accident precursors, nor do the changes alter design assumptions.

The proposed changes do not alter or prevent the ability of the onsite ERO to perform their intended functions to mitigate the consequences of an accident or event. The proposed changes remove ERO positions no longer credited or considered necessary in support of Emergency Plan implementation.

Therefore, the proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes have no impact on the design, function, or operation of any plant SSCs. The proposed changes do not affect plant equipment or accident analyses. The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed), a change in the method of plant operation, or new operator actions. The proposed changes do not introduce failure modes that could result in a new accident, and the proposed changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. The proposed changes remove ERO positions no longer credited or considered necessary in support of Emergency Plan implementation.

Therefore, the proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

Margin of safety is associated with confidence in the ability of the fission product barriers (i.e., fuel cladding, reactor coolant system pressure boundary, and containment structure) to limit the level of radiation dose to the public.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 72 of 74 The proposed changes do not adversely affect existing plant safety margins or the reliability of the equipment assumed to operate in the safety analyses. There are no changes being made to safety analysis assumptions, safety limits, or limiting safety system settings that would adversely affect plant safety as a result of the proposed changes. Margins of safety are unaffected by the proposed changes to the ERO staffing.

The proposed changes are associated with the LGS Emergency Plan staffing and do not impact operation of the plant or its response to transients or accidents. The proposed changes do not affect the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not involve a change in the method of plant operation, and no accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes. Safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by these proposed changes. The proposed changes to the Emergency Plan will continue to provide the necessary onsite ERO response staff.

Therefore, the proposed changes to the LGS Emergency Plan do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

4.4 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

The proposed changes are applicable to emergency planning standards for Limerick Generating Station (LGS) involving proposed ERO staffing changes. The proposed changes do not reduce the capability to meet the emergency planning standards established in 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. The proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed changes meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed changes.

Furthermore, in accordance with 10 CFR 51, additional information is provided below in support of a finding that the proposed changes do not have significant impact on the quality of the human environment.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) is requesting amendments to the licenses for LGS, Units 1 and 2.

Specifically, the proposed changes would revise certain Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions to align with the minimum staff ERO guidance specified in draft Revision 2 of License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 73 of 74 NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."

The proposed changes will also relocate the identified Full-Augmentation ERO positions specified in Table 2-1, "Minimum Staff Requirements," of the station's Emergency Plan to an Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedure (EPIP).

The proposed changes have been reviewed considering the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans," paragraph (b), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," and other applicable emergency preparedness NRC guidance documents. An evaluation of the proposed changes pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54, "Conditions of licenses," paragraph (q), "Emergency plans," determined that the proposed changes result in a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plans for the affected facilities and, therefore, require prior NRC approval.

Exelon has determined that the proposed changes do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. The proposed changes update the licensing basis for the LGS related to ERO staffing consistent with guidance in draft Revision 2 of NUREG-0654. The associated changes to the ERO staffing will not affect the quality of the human environment.

As described above, Exelon has determined that operation of LGS in accordance with the proposed changes does not involve a significant hazards consideration, in that it does not: 1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; 2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or 3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Exelon has determined that operation of LGS in accordance with the proposed changes does not authorize a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite. The proposed changes are unrelated to any aspects of plant construction or operation that would introduce any changes to effluent types (e.g.,

effluents containing chemicals or biocides, sanitary system effluents, or other effluents) or affect any plant radiological or non-radiological effluent release quantities. Furthermore, these changes do not diminish the functionality of any design or operational features that are credited with controlling the release of effluents during plant operation.

Exelon has determined that operation of the affected facilities in accordance with the proposed changes does not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The proposed changes will not affect how a structure, system, or component will be used to meet the design bases of the nuclear plant. The proposed changes will have no effect on the construction or operation of the nuclear plants and, therefore, would not introduce any changes to the amount of occupational radiation exposure.

In conclusion, Exelon has determined that the operational effects of the proposed amendment do not involve 1) a significant hazards consideration, 2) a significant change in the types of or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or 3) a significant increase in the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

License Amendment Request Changes to Emergency Plan Staffing NRC Docket Nos. 50-352, 50-353, and 72-65 Page 74 of 74 Consequently, the proposed changes will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

3. Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)

Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate. The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager. The Shift Manager is the Shift Emergency Director and has the Station and Corporate Emergency Director's responsibilities and authority until relieved by a qualified Station Emergency Director.

The Station Corporate Emergency Director, once having relieved the Shift Manager of the Emergency Director responsibilities, is responsible for continued assessment of the severity of the emergency and for the necessary functions as described in the E-Plan, the Station Annex, and the emergency implementing procedures. Final succession is achieved when the Corporate Emergency Director assumes overall Command and Control, and directs Exelon Nuclear's Emergency Response activities.

December 2017 B-2 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 2930)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Command and Control may be transferred directly to the Corporate Emergency Director, or transferred to the Station Emergency Director on an interim basis. Following the Command and Control turnover, the Corporate Emergency Director shall have overall Command and Control of the Emergency Response.

Note that the Station Emergency Director takes responsibility for onsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Classification and Emergency Exposure Control. The Corporate Emergency Director takes responsibility for offsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Protective Action Recommendations and State/local Notifications. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:

  • Adequate staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
  • The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
  • A turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made.

Although Exelon Nuclear's ERO fulfills all regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the Emergency Director. This type of alteration will be based upon identified needs within the ERO, event dependent criteria, and identified needs of the company as a whole.

4. Non-Delegable Responsibilities Non-delegable responsibilities include the following functions:
  • Event classification.
  • Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the general public.
  • Notification of offsite authorities (approval of state/local and NRC notifications).
  • Authorization of emergency exposure controls in excess of 5 Rem TEDE and the issuance of potassium iodide (KI), for Exelon Nuclear emergency workers per EPA-400.

The Shift Manager is responsible for the initial classification of an event and assumes the position as Shift Emergency Director. In this capacity, the Shift Manager has responsibility for performing the non-delegable responsibilities until relieved.

The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Overall Command and Control is transferred to the Station Emergency Director but may be transferred directly to the Corporate Emergency Director.

5. Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities The Emergency Plan designates two types of augmented ERO responders. Those designated as Minimum Staff are those key ERO needed to relieve the on-shift staff of key EP functions/tasks required in response to the Emergency and are those required to activate their respective Emergency Response Facility (ERF).

Specifically, these are the ERO that are the absolute minimum needed to implement the emergency plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the emergency plan may not be effectively implemented). These positions in most cases are required to respond to their respective ERF within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher. See Appendix 5, Table 5-1 for the list of On-shift and Minimum Staff positions.

The positions which are considered Full Augmented staff (i.e., non-min staff) are those positions which provide support for the minimum staff in their response to the Emergency. The Full Augmentation positions consist mostly of liaisons, coordinators and additional communicators which help facilitate communication and the emergency response effort over time, but are not directly needed to implement the functions/tasks identified in the Emergency Plan.

ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annexthis Emergency Plan, outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. The full augmentation staffing levels are used as a planning basis to cover a wide range of possible eventsdescribed in Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures (EPIPs). For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability. However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.

In addition to maintaining adequate documentation of the event, responsibilities for each position are as follows:

a. Station Emergency Response Organization: The Station ERO is the onsite group that is activated during an emergency. It functions under the Station Emergency Director, who is responsible for organizing and coordinating the emergency efforts at and within the immediate vicinity of the station (including carrying out all onsite emergency efforts and the initial offsite environs monitoring efforts necessary to assess plant releases).

The Station ERO consists of station personnel who are involved with emergency response efforts necessary to control the plant during an incident. This organization operates out of the Control Room, the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Operations Support Center (OSC). Collectively, members of the Station ERO provide for the following activities during an emergency:

  • Plant systems operations
  • Radiological survey and monitoring (including Environs Monitoring)

9) Field Monitoring Team (FMT) Communications: A separate communications system has been installed to allow coordinated environmental monitoring and assessment during an emergency. This system consists of the necessary hardware to allow communication between the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and mobile units in Exelon Nuclear vehicles. Though direct communications between the Control Room and the FMTs is not required per the prescribed methods of FMT coordination, the FMTs can be contacted from equipment in the Control Room if required. Commercial cell phones or other means are available as back up to the primary field team communications system.

In addition, station communication links exist to ensure appropriate information transfer capabilities during an emergency. The station may also utilize its Public Address System, station radios and notification devices to augment its emergency communications.

e. ERO Notification System: Exelon Nuclear utilizes an automated ERO Notification System to rapidly notify members of the ERO. The system consists of a network of physical infrastructure capable of initiating and receiving contact via multiple notification devices. When activated, the system contacts the notification devices (e.g., through commercial and cellular phone, email, text message) belonging to members of the ERO. The System includes redundant activation methods via the internet, call-centers, or direct telephone activation, as well as redundant, geographically separated call centers and data centers, with redundant power sources. Implementing procedures specify the course of action to be taken if the primary ERO Notification System activation path fails to respond. The ERO Notification System provides primary and back-up notification functions. For the Exelon North East sites, the ERO notification system description is contained in the Station Annex and EP implementing procedures.
f. NRC Communications (ENS and HPN)

Communications with the NRC Operations Center will be performed via the NRC ENS and HPN circuits or commercial telephone line. Information is normally communicated from an approved NRC Event Notification Worksheet prior to establishing an open ENS and/or HPN line.

The actual configuration of these systems may vary from station to station.

Installation and use of these NRC telephones is under the direction of the NRC (see Figure F-3).

Emergency Notification System (ENS): Dedicated telephone equipment is in place between each nuclear station's Control Room and the NRC, with an extension of that line in the TSC. A separate line is available in the EOF with the capability of being patched with the station through the NRC. This line is used for NRC event notifications and status updates.

Health Physics Network (HPN): There also exists a separate dedicated telephone between the NRC, the TSC, and EOF for conveying health physics information to the NRC as requested or as an open line.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The primary purpose of the Emergency Public Information Organization is to disseminate information from Exelon Nuclear's ERO about the emergency events to the public, via the news media. However, the authority for issuance of news releases for the classification of an Unusual Event or prior to ERO activation will always reside with the Exelon Communications and Public Affairs Department. Upon activation, the Emergency Public Information Organization has the responsibility and authority for issuance of news releases to the public.

The Emergency Public Information Organization is comprised of senior managers from Exelon Nuclear who will function as spokespersons, and other Exelon Nuclear individuals including personnel from the Governmental Affairs and Human Relations areas. Exelon Nuclear's spokespersons disseminate information to the news media/public concerning the emergency events out of a Joint Information Center (JIC).

2) The Joint Information Center (JIC): The JIC is the facility in which media personnel gather to receive information related to the emergency event. The JIC is the location where approved news releases will be provided to the media for dissemination to the public. News releases are coordinated between the EOF and JIC personnel and state and/or Federal representatives in the JIC. Exelon public information personnel operate from the EOF and the JIC, which is under the direction of the Corporate Spokesperson and functions as the single point contact to interface with Federal, state, and local authorities who are responsible for disseminating information to the public.

Each station has a designated JIC. Each JIC is equipped with appropriate seating, lighting and visual aids to allow for public announcements and briefings to be given to the news media. Additionally, JICs are equipped with commercial telephone lines for making outgoing calls. The Emergency Public Information Organization functions from the JIC and EOF in preparing and releasing utility information about the emergency event. The JIC is activated at the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. Some JIC personnel may perform functions remotely from alternate locations while remaining in contact with personnel in the JIC facility (e.g., media monitoring, rumor control, news writers, issuance of press releases). The JIC Director and Corporate Spokesperson will ensure communication and coordination of these functions with the EOF and JIC staff. Functions of the JIC include:

  • Serving as the primary location for accumulating accurate and current information regarding the emergency conditions and writing news releases.
  • Providing work space and phones for public information personnel from the state, counties, NRC, FEMA, and industry-related organizations.
  • Providing telephones for use by the news media personnel.

c. Operations Support Center (OSC): Each nuclear generating station has established an OSC. The OSC is the onsite location to where station support personnel report during an emergency and from which they will be dispatched for assignments or duties in support of emergency operations. The OSC shall be activated whenever the TSC is activated, but need not remain activated at the Alert level if its use is judged unnecessary by the Station Emergency Director. At the Site Area and General Emergency levels, the OSC or an alternate OSC shall be activated at all times. The OSC is not activated for a HOSTILE ACTION when the Alternative Facility is implemented. Activation for other events is optional.

Station disciplines reporting to the OSC include, but are not limited to:

  • Operating personnel not assigned to the Control Room,
  • Radiation Protection Personnel,
  • Chemistry Personnel,
  • Maintenance Personnel (mechanical, electrical and I&C).

Figure B-1b illustrates the staffing and organization for the OSC.

Each OSC is equipped with communication links to the Control Room, the TSC and the EOF (see Section F). A limited inventory of supplies will be kept for the OSC. This inventory will include respirators, protective clothing, flashlights and portable survey instruments.

2. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)

The EOF is the location where the Corporate Emergency Director will direct a staff in evaluating and coordinating the overall company activities involved with an emergency. Activation of the EOF is mandatory upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification. The EOF provides for:

  • Management of overall emergency response.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

3. Emergency Operations Centers EOCs operated by the state and local communities have been established to perform direction and control of emergency response functions.

The respective state EOCs are capable of continuous (24-hour) operations for a protracted period. These centers contain sufficient communications (radio, telephone and teletype) equipment, maps, emergency plans, and status boards to provide the necessary interfaces with other federal, state, county, and Exelon emergency facilities.

The county EOCs serve as Command and Control headquarters for local emergency response activities as well as a center for the coordination of communications to field units and to the state EOCs. These EOCs have the equipment necessary, (such as facsimile machines, telecommunications equipment, radio gear, photocopiers, wall maps, etc.) to carry out their emergency responsibilities.

4. Activation NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion II.B.5 states that the licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. It further defines that short period as 30 and 60 minutes. The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It is Exelon Nuclears intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Exelon Nuclear realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations staff, possible adverse weather conditions, road congestion and site access restrictions, these time frames might be exceeded.

Exelon Nuclear has put into place plans and procedures to ensure timely activation of its emergency response facilities. The Shift Manager (as Shift Emergency Director) will initiate a call-out in accordance with the implementing procedures. The ERO augmentation process identifies individuals who are capable of fulfilling the specific response functions that are listed in ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex. This table was developed based on the functions listed in NUREG-0654, Table B-1.

Although the response time will vary due to factors such as weather and traffic conditions, a goal of 60 minutes for minimum staffing, following the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification, has been established for the ERO personnel responding to the station emergency facilities and the EOF. Additionally, plans have been developed to ensure timely functional activation and staffing of the JIC within 90 minutes of when the classification of Alert is declared.

December 2017 H-5 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 2930)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear It is the goal of the organization to be capable of activating the applicable Emergency Response Facility upon achieving minimum staffing. The facility can be declared activated when the following conditions are met:

a. Minimum staffing has been achieved.
b. The facility is functional.

Although the minimum staffing criteria applies to the JIC, the activation time is not applicable. Public Information personnel must first coordinate the decision to activate the JIC with the appropriate offsite authorities.

The Director in charge may elect to activate their facility without meeting minimum staffing; if it has been determined that sufficient personnel are available to fully respond to the specific event (this would not constitute a successful minimum staff response).

5. Monitoring Equipment Onsite Each nuclear station is equipped with instrumentation for seismic monitoring, radiation monitoring, fire protection and meteorological monitoring. Instrumentation for the detection or analysis of emergency conditions is maintained in accordance with station Technical Specifications, if applicable, or commitments made to the NRC. The actual instrumentation varies somewhat from site to site and thus will not be described in detail in this plan. Descriptions of the equipment will appear in each Station Annex. This equipment includes but is not limited to the following:
a. Geophysical Monitors
1) Meteorological Instrumentation: A permanent meteorological monitoring station is located near each station for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and ambient and differential temperature for use in making offsite dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the CR, TSC, and EOF by means of the plant computer system. This information is remotely interrogated using a computer or other data access terminal.

With regard to Exelon Nuclears meteorological monitoring program, there has been a quality assurance program adopted from 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

However, since the meteorological facilities are not composed of structures, systems, and components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents and are not "safety related," not all aspects of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, apply. Those aspects of quality assurance germane to supplying good meteorological information for a nuclear power station were adopted into the meteorological quality assurance program. The meteorological program is also subject to the requirements of the QATR, Section 19, Augmented Quality.

December 2017 H-6 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 2930)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Radiation Protection personnel are trained to assess the radiological hazards associated with equipment repair and instruct personnel as to the appropriate protective clothing requirements, respiratory protection requirements, stay times, and other protective actions specific to the conditions present.

At least 50% of personnel from those departments, who are potential responders to the OSC as Damage Control Team members, are required to be qualified in the use of respiratory protection equipment. This includes in-plant supervision and craft/technicians for the following departments:

  • Operations
  • Radiation Protection
  • Chemistry
  • Maintenance (mechanical, electrical and I&C)
f. First Aid and Rescue Personnel: First aid and rescue team members receive training as outlined in Part 3 of this section.
g. Local Support Service Personnel: Local support service personnel providing assistance during an emergency are invited to receive training as outline in Parts 1.a and 1.b of this section.
h. Medical Support Personnel: Onsite medical personnel receive specialized training in the handling of contaminated victims and hospital interface. Offsite ambulance and hospital personnel are offered annual training in accordance with a program provided by Emergency Preparedness.
i. Public Information Personnel: Corporate and station personnel responsible for disseminating emergency public information and responding to media and public information requests receive specialized public information training.
j. Communications Personnel: ERO personnel receive training on communications protocol as a part of the initial Emergency Response Overview Course.

Personnel using specialized communications equipment that is not part of their normal daily function receive initial and requalification training on the equipment.

Personnel involved in notifications to offsite agencies receive specialized training in the notification process.

5. General, Initial, and Requalification Training Program Maintenance
a. Station Departments and Emergency Preparedness share the responsibility for ensuring that the ERO receives all necessary training and retraining. In order to carry this out, responsibilities are assigned as follows:

Limerick Generating Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies Limericks Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and its key positions are described in the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (EP-AA-1000). This section describes the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and its key positions. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among Exelon Nuclear emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.

2.1 Shift Organization Staffing Initial response to any emergency is by the normal plant organization present at the site. This organization includes positions that are onsite 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day and is described in Section B.1 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan. The Normal Shift Organization will be augmented, in an emergency, with designated/additional Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel within 60 minutes following the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification as specified under Table LGS 2-1. ERO activation is described in Section H.4 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

Table LGS 2-1 outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. Responsibilities for each position are described in Section B.5 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

2.1.4 Shift Dose Assessment The on-shift dose assessment function will be performed by a shift Radiation Protection Technician (RPT) at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. However, Limerick Generating Station will maintain the capability to perform a shift dose assessment, if necessary.

2.1.6 Shift Communicator The Shift Communicator performs notifications to the State and County organizations until relieved by the TSC, and assists in the initiation of the ERO Callout System as directed. The Communicator position is staffed by a designated on-shift individual capable of responding to the Control Room immediately in support of the initiation of offsite notifications within 15 minutes of event classification.

A 2nd on-shift individual will be designated to support communications with the NRC over the Emergency Notification System (ENS) until relieved by the TSC.

2.1.92.1 Shift Technical Advisor (STA) / Incident Assessor Section B.1 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan outlines the On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignment December TBD 2017 LGS 2-1 EP-AA-1008 (Revision 3031)

Limerick Generating Station Annex Exelon Nuclear of the STA. Limerick Generating Station has deemed the following as an acceptable method of implementing Section B.1 in reference to the STA.

The responsibilities of the STA are delineated on OP-AA-101-111, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel. If the STA is the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor, then another Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) shall assist as Incident Assessor during unexpected conditions and transients. Per EP-AA-1000, Appendix 5, Table LGS 25-1, the on-shift STA or Incident Assessor shall also provide core/thermal hydraulics support to Control Room staff.

2.2 Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Staffing Refer to Table LGS 2-1 of the LGS Annex, Minimum Staffing Requirements, for a comparison against the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan of 60-minute and full augmentation commitments.

2.4.0 Emergency Onsite Organization (Figure LGS 2-2)

No changes in augmentation positions or staffing levels for the Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC) and Control Room from that specified in the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

2.6.0 Emergency Offsite Organization (Figure LGS 2-3)

Based on existing interface and staffing agreements, representatives from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will respond to the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), allowing direct face-to-face communications. As such, the State Environs Communicator position, listed under the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, is not staffed at the Coatesville EOF. Rather the EOF Environmental Coordinator will interface directly with State representatives present in the EOF.

2.2.3 Emergency Public Information Organization (Figure LGS 2-4)

No changes in augmentation positions or staffing levels for the Joint Information Center (JIC)) and Emergency News Center (ENC) from that specified in the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

December TBD 2017 LGS 2-2 EP-AA-1008 (Revision 3031)

Limerick Generating Station Annex Exelon Nuclear 2.112.2 Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Training Training is conducted in accordance with Section O.5 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan per TQ-AA-113, ERO Training and Qualification. Retraining is performed on an annual basis, which is defined as once per calendar year not to exceed 18 months between training sessions.

2.43 Non-Exelon Nuclear Support Groups Agreements exist on file with or are verified current annually by the MA Region Corporate Emergency Preparedness Group for the support agencies listed in Appendix 2 of the Exelon Nuclear Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for LGS.

Additionally, Exelon Nuclear has contractual agreements common within Exelon Nuclear with several companies whose services would be available in the event of a radiological emergency. These agencies are also listed in Appendix 3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

Emergency response coordination with governmental agencies and other support organizations is discussed in Section A of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

2.54 Nuclear Steam Systems Supplier (NSSS)

General Electric Company maintains an Emergency Response Organization, which can provide technical assistance from their home office or at the site.

2.65 Architect/Engineer Bechtel or other contractors may be involved in the technical analysis or construction activities associated with the emergency response or recovery operation. Each such organization will designate a lead representative who will have the same responsibilities, within their scope of work, as described for the NSSS Contractor.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Shift Technical Advisor (STA): During normal plant operations, the Senior Reactor Operators report to the Shift Manager and directly supervise the licensed Reactor Operators and all activities in the Control Room. During an abnormal condition, the Shift Manager assumes direct supervision of personnel and all activities in the Control Room while a qualified individual steps back and assumes an overview role as an STA with the specific responsibility of monitoring the maintenance of core cooling and containment integrity. An individual assigned the duty as the STA shall be available to the Control Room at all times.

Radiation Protection: The Station Radiation Protection personnel are responsible for the handling and monitoring of radioactive materials. Included in this organization are Health Physicists, Radiation Protection Supervisors and Technicians.

Chemistry: The Station Chemistry personnel are responsible for sampling of system effluents, and the chemical and radio-analytical analysis of those samples. Included in this organization are Chemists, Chemistry Supervisors and Technicians.

Security: The Station Security personnel are responsible for the physical security of the site. Included in this organization are Security Supervisors and Security Guards.

2. Authority Over the Emergency Response Organization The Emergency Director in Command and Control is the designated Exelon Nuclear individual who has overall authority and responsibility, management ability, and technical knowledge for coordinating all emergency response activities at the nuclear power station.
  • Control Room: Shift Emergency Director (Shift Manager)
  • TSC: Station Emergency Director
  • EOF: Corporate Emergency Director
3. Criteria for Assuming Command and Control (Succession)

Emergency personnel assume responsibility for their positions upon receiving notification to activate. The responsibility for initial assessment of and response to an emergency rests with the Shift Manager. The Shift Manager is the Shift Emergency Director and has the Station and Corporate Emergency Director's responsibilities and authority until relieved. The Corporate Emergency Director, once having relieved the Shift Manager of the Emergency Director responsibilities, is responsible for continued assessment of the severity of the emergency and for the necessary functions as described in the E-Plan, the Station Annex, and the emergency implementing procedures.

December 2017 B-2 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 30)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Following the Command and Control turnover, the Corporate Emergency Director shall have overall Command and Control of the Emergency Response.

Note that the Station Emergency Director takes responsibility for onsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Classification and Emergency Exposure Control. The Corporate Emergency Director takes responsibility for offsite Non-Delegable Responsibilities including Protective Action Recommendations and State/local Notifications. Command and Control does not transfer until the following criteria have been met:

  • Adequate staff levels are present in support of the non-delegable responsibilities.
  • The staff has been fully briefed as to the status of the event and the currently proposed plan of action.
  • A turnover between the Emergency Director relinquishing Command and Control and the Emergency Director assuming Command and Control has been made.

Although Exelon Nuclear's ERO fulfills all regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the Emergency Director. This type of alteration will be based upon identified needs within the ERO, event dependent criteria, and identified needs of the company as a whole.

4. Non-Delegable Responsibilities Non-delegable responsibilities include the following functions:
  • Event classification.
  • Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the general public.
  • Notification of offsite authorities (approval of state/local and NRC notifications).
  • Authorization of emergency exposure controls in excess of 5 Rem TEDE and the issuance of potassium iodide (KI), for Exelon Nuclear emergency workers per EPA-400.

The Shift Manager is responsible for the initial classification of an event and assumes the position as Shift Emergency Director. In this capacity, the Shift Manager has responsibility for performing the non-delegable responsibilities until relieved.

The Shift Emergency Director is relieved of Command and Control as soon as possible after the declaration of an Alert (or higher classification if Alert not declared). Overall Command and Control is transferred to the Corporate Emergency Director.

The Station Emergency Director assumes overall authority and responsibility for Classification and Emergency Exposure Control. The Corporate Emergency Director (EOF) assumes the non-delegable responsibilities for PAR determination and notifications to offsite authorities.

5. Emergency Response Organization Positional Responsibilities The Emergency Plan designates two types of augmented ERO responders. Those designated as Minimum Staff are those key ERO needed to relieve the on-shift staff of key EP functions/tasks required in response to the Emergency and are those required to activate their respective Emergency Response Facility (ERF).

Specifically, these are the ERO that are the absolute minimum needed to implement the emergency plan (i.e., if any position or function is not staffed then the emergency plan may not be effectively implemented). These positions in most cases are required to respond to their respective ERF within 60 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher. See Appendix 5, Table 5-1 for the list of On-shift and Minimum Staff positions.

The positions which are considered Full Augmented staff (i.e., non-min staff) are those positions which provide support for the minimum staff in their response to the Emergency. The Full Augmentation positions consist mostly of liaisons, coordinators and additional communicators which help facilitate communication and the emergency response effort over time, but are not directly needed to implement the functions/tasks identified in the Emergency Plan.

ERO staffing tables contained within this Emergency Plan, outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. The full augmentation staffing levels are described in Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures (EPIPs). For extended events (one which lasts for more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), actual staffing will be established by the Emergency Director based on the event and personnel availability. However, additional staffing or reduced staffing will only occur after discussion concerning the impact on plant operations and emergency response.

In addition to maintaining adequate documentation of the event, responsibilities for each position are as follows:

a. Station Emergency Response Organization: The Station ERO is the onsite group that is activated during an emergency. It functions under the Station Emergency Director, who is responsible for organizing and coordinating the emergency efforts at and within the immediate vicinity of the station (including carrying out all onsite emergency efforts and the initial offsite environs monitoring efforts necessary to assess plant releases).

The Station ERO consists of station personnel who are involved with emergency response efforts necessary to control the plant during an incident. This organization operates out of the Control Room, the Technical Support Center (TSC) and the Operations Support Center (OSC). Collectively, members of the Station ERO provide for the following activities during an emergency:

  • Plant systems operations
  • Radiological survey and monitoring (including Environs Monitoring)

9) Field Monitoring Team (FMT) Communications: A separate communications system has been installed to allow coordinated environmental monitoring and assessment during an emergency. This system consists of the necessary hardware to allow communication between the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and mobile units in Exelon Nuclear vehicles. Though direct communications between the Control Room and the FMTs is not required per the prescribed methods of FMT coordination, the FMTs can be contacted from equipment in the Control Room if required. Commercial cell phones or other means are available as back up to the primary field team communications system.

In addition, station communication links exist to ensure appropriate information transfer capabilities during an emergency. The station may also utilize its Public Address System, station radios and notification devices to augment its emergency communications.

e. ERO Notification System: Exelon Nuclear utilizes an automated ERO Notification System to rapidly notify members of the ERO. The system consists of a network of physical infrastructure capable of initiating and receiving contact via multiple notification devices. When activated, the system contacts the notification devices (e.g., through commercial and cellular phone, email, text message) belonging to members of the ERO. The System includes redundant activation methods via the internet, call-centers, or direct telephone activation, as well as redundant, geographically separated call centers and data centers, with redundant power sources. Implementing procedures specify the course of action to be taken if the primary ERO Notification System activation path fails to respond. The ERO Notification System provides primary and back-up notification functions. For the Exelon North East sites, the ERO notification system description is contained in the Station Annex and EP implementing procedures.
f. NRC Communications (ENS)

Communications with the NRC Operations Center will be performed via the NRC ENS circuits or commercial telephone line. Information is normally communicated from an approved NRC Event Notification Worksheet prior to establishing an open ENS.

The actual configuration of these systems may vary from station to station.

Installation and use of these NRC telephones is under the direction of the NRC (see Figure F-3).

Emergency Notification System (ENS): Dedicated telephone equipment is in place between each nuclear station's Control Room and the NRC, with an extension of that line in the TSC. A separate line is available in the EOF with the capability of being patched with the station through the NRC. This line is used for NRC event notifications and status updates.

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear The primary purpose of the Emergency Public Information Organization is to disseminate information from Exelon Nuclear's ERO about the emergency events to the public, via the news media. However, the authority for issuance of news releases for the classification of an Unusual Event or prior to ERO activation will always reside with the Exelon Communications and Public Affairs Department. Upon activation, the Emergency Public Information Organization has the responsibility and authority for issuance of news releases to the public.

The Emergency Public Information Organization is comprised of senior managers from Exelon Nuclear who will function as spokespersons, and other Exelon Nuclear individuals including personnel from the Governmental Affairs and Human Relations areas. Exelon Nuclear's spokespersons disseminate information to the news media/public concerning the emergency events out of a Joint Information Center (JIC).

2) The Joint Information Center (JIC): The JIC is the facility in which media personnel gather to receive information related to the emergency event. The JIC is the location where approved news releases will be provided to the media for dissemination to the public. News releases are coordinated between the EOF and JIC personnel and state and/or Federal representatives in the JIC. Exelon public information personnel operate from the EOF and the JIC, which is under the direction of the Corporate Spokesperson and functions as the single point contact to interface with Federal, state, and local authorities who are responsible for disseminating information to the public.

Each station has a designated JIC. Each JIC is equipped with appropriate seating, lighting and visual aids to allow for public announcements and briefings to be given to the news media. Additionally, JICs are equipped with commercial telephone lines for making outgoing calls. The Emergency Public Information Organization functions from the JIC and EOF in preparing and releasing utility information about the emergency event. The JIC is activated at the declaration of an Alert or higher classification. Some JIC personnel may perform functions remotely from alternate locations while remaining in contact with personnel in the JIC facility (e.g., media monitoring, rumor control, news writers, issuance of press releases). The JIC Director and Corporate Spokesperson will ensure communication and coordination of these functions with the EOF and JIC staff. Functions of the JIC include:

  • Serving as the primary location for accumulating accurate and current information regarding the emergency conditions and writing news releases.
  • Providing work space and phones for public information personnel from the state, counties, NRC, FEMA, and industry-related organizations.
  • Providing telephones for use by the news media personnel.

December 2017 G-2 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 30)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

  • Providing responses to media inquiries through telephones that the media can call for information about an emergency.
b. The news media is not permitted into the EOF during an emergency.
4. Coordination of Public Information
a. The JIC is staffed by Exelon and government public information representatives who will be the source of public information during an emergency at the station.

The Corporate Spokesperson is the primary spokesperson for Exelon Nuclear.

The Corporate Spokesperson has direct access to all necessary information (see Section B.5).

b. The JIC is staffed by federal, state, county, and utility personnel to assure timely, periodic exchange and coordination of information. Representatives coordinate information prior to conducting news briefings.
c. Rumors or misinformation are identified during an emergency by the JIC Staff.

They respond to public and news media calls and monitor media reports.

d. The common MW Region JIC is located west of Chicago, in Warrenville IL, in the Exelon Nuclear Cantera facility. This facility supports the Braidwood, Byron, Clinton, Dresden, LaSalle and Quad Cities stations.

The JIC for the MA Region Three Mile Island, Limerick and Peach Bottom Stations is co-located with the EOF at 175 North Caln Road, Coatesville, Pennsylvania.

The JIC for Calvert Cliffs Station is co-located with the EOF about twelve miles from the site, in Calvert Industrial Park, Skipjack Road at Hallowing Point Road.

The JIC for the Ginna Station is located at 1255 Research Forest, Macedon, NY.

The JIC for the Nine Mile Point Station is located near the Oswego County Airport, on County Route 176 in the Town of Volney, New York approximately 12 miles from the site.

5. Media Orientation Emergency Preparedness, in conjunction with Exelon Communications and Public Affairs Department, offers training (at least annually) to acquaint news media with the E-Plan, information concerning radiation, and points of contact for release of public information in an emergency. Training is provided for those media agencies that accept the training offer.

December 2017 G-3 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 30)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Personnel in the TSC shall be protected from radiological hazards, including direct radiation and airborne contaminants under accident conditions with similar radiological habitability as Control Room personnel. To ensure adequate radiological protection, permanent radiation monitoring systems have been installed in the TSC and/or periodic radiation surveys are conducted. These systems indicate radiation dose rates and airborne radioactivity inside the TSC while in use. In addition, protective breathing apparatus (full-face air purifying respirators) and KI are available for use as required.

The TSC has access to a complete set of as-built drawings and other records, including general arrangement diagrams, P&IDs, and the electrical schematics.

The TSC has the capability to record and display vital plant data, in real time, to be used by knowledgeable individuals responsible for engineering and management support of reactor operations, and for implementation of emergency procedures.

c. Operations Support Center (OSC): Each nuclear generating station has established an OSC. The OSC is the onsite location to where station support personnel report during an emergency and from which they will be dispatched for assignments or duties in support of emergency operations. The OSC shall be activated whenever the TSC is activated, but need not remain activated at the Alert level if its use is judged unnecessary by the Station Emergency Director. At the Site Area and General Emergency levels, the OSC or an alternate OSC shall be activated at all times. The OSC is not activated for a HOSTILE ACTION when the Alternative Facility is implemented. Activation for other events is optional.

Station disciplines reporting to the OSC include, but are not limited to:

  • Operating personnel not assigned to the Control Room,
  • Radiation Protection Personnel,
  • Maintenance Personnel (mechanical, electrical and I&C).

Figure B-1b illustrates the staffing and organization for the OSC.

Each OSC is equipped with communication links to the Control Room, the TSC and the EOF (see Section F). A limited inventory of supplies will be kept for the OSC. This inventory will include respirators, protective clothing, flashlights and portable survey instruments.

2. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)

The EOF is the location where the Corporate Emergency Director will direct a staff in evaluating and coordinating the overall company activities involved with an emergency. Activation of the EOF is mandatory upon declaration of an Alert or higher classification. The EOF provides for:

  • Management of overall emergency response.
  • Coordination of radiological and environmental assessments.

December 2017 H-3 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 30)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear

3. Emergency Operations Centers EOCs operated by the state and local communities have been established to perform direction and control of emergency response functions.

The respective state EOCs are capable of continuous (24-hour) operations for a protracted period. These centers contain sufficient communications (radio, telephone and teletype) equipment, maps, emergency plans, and status boards to provide the necessary interfaces with other federal, state, county, and Exelon emergency facilities.

The county EOCs serve as Command and Control headquarters for local emergency response activities as well as a center for the coordination of communications to field units and to the state EOCs. These EOCs have the equipment necessary, (such as facsimile machines, telecommunications equipment, radio gear, photocopiers, wall maps, etc.) to carry out their emergency responsibilities.

4. Activation NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion II.B.5 states that the licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency. It further defines that short period as 30 and 60 minutes. The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It is Exelon Nuclears intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Exelon Nuclear realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations staff, possible adverse weather conditions, road congestion and site access restrictions, these time frames might be exceeded.

Exelon Nuclear has put into place plans and procedures to ensure timely activation of its emergency response facilities. The Shift Manager (as Shift Emergency Director) will initiate a call-out in accordance with the implementing procedures. The ERO augmentation process identifies individuals who are capable of fulfilling the specific response functions that are listed in ERO staffing tables contained within the station specific Annex. This table was developed based on the functions listed in NUREG-0654, Table B-1.

Although the response time will vary due to factors such as weather and traffic conditions, a goal of 60 minutes for minimum staffing, following the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification, has been established for the ERO personnel responding to the station emergency facilities and the EOF. Additionally, plans have been developed to ensure timely functional activation and staffing of the JIC within 90 minutes of when the classification of Alert is declared.

December 2017 H-5 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 30)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear It is the goal of the organization to be capable of activating the applicable Emergency Response Facility upon achieving minimum staffing. The facility can be declared activated when the following conditions are met:

a. Minimum staffing has been achieved.
b. The facility is functional.

The Director in charge may elect to activate their facility without meeting minimum staffing; if it has been determined that sufficient personnel are available to fully respond to the specific event (this would not constitute a successful minimum staff response).

5. Monitoring Equipment Onsite Each nuclear station is equipped with instrumentation for seismic monitoring, radiation monitoring, fire protection and meteorological monitoring. Instrumentation for the detection or analysis of emergency conditions is maintained in accordance with station Technical Specifications, if applicable, or commitments made to the NRC. The actual instrumentation varies somewhat from site to site and thus will not be described in detail in this plan. Descriptions of the equipment will appear in each Station Annex. This equipment includes but is not limited to the following:
a. Geophysical Monitors
1) Meteorological Instrumentation: A permanent meteorological monitoring station is located near each station for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and ambient and differential temperature for use in making offsite dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the CR, TSC, and EOF by means of the plant computer system. This information is remotely interrogated using a computer or other data access terminal.

With regard to Exelon Nuclears meteorological monitoring program, there has been a quality assurance program adopted from 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

However, since the meteorological facilities are not composed of structures, systems, and components that prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents and are not "safety related," not all aspects of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, apply. Those aspects of quality assurance germane to supplying good meteorological information for a nuclear power station were adopted into the meteorological quality assurance program. The meteorological program is also subject to the requirements of the QATR, Section 19, Augmented Quality.

The National Weather Service (NWS), or regional weather forecast providers, may be contacted during severe weather periods. These providers analyze national and local weather in order to provide localized weather forecasts for the system or for the station area as appropriate.

December 2017 H-6 EP-AA-1000 (Revision 30)

PART II: Planning Standards And Criteria Exelon Nuclear Radiation Protection personnel are trained to assess the radiological hazards associated with equipment repair and instruct personnel as to the appropriate protective clothing requirements, respiratory protection requirements, stay times, and other protective actions specific to the conditions present.

At least 50% of personnel from those departments, who are potential responders to the OSC as Damage Control Team members, are required to be qualified in the use of respiratory protection equipment. This includes in-plant supervision and craft/technicians for the following departments:

  • Operations
  • Radiation Protection
  • Maintenance (mechanical, electrical and I&C)
f. First Aid and Rescue Personnel: First aid and rescue team members receive training as outlined in Part 3 of this section.
g. Local Support Service Personnel: Local support service personnel providing assistance during an emergency are invited to receive training as outline in Parts 1.a and 1.b of this section.
h. Medical Support Personnel: Onsite medical personnel receive specialized training in the handling of contaminated victims and hospital interface. Offsite ambulance and hospital personnel are offered annual training in accordance with a program provided by Emergency Preparedness.
i. Public Information Personnel: Corporate and station personnel responsible for disseminating emergency public information and responding to media and public information requests receive specialized public information training.
j. Communications Personnel: ERO personnel receive training on communications protocol as a part of the initial Emergency Response Overview Course.

Personnel using specialized communications equipment that is not part of their normal daily function receive initial and requalification training on the equipment.

Personnel involved in notifications to offsite agencies receive specialized training in the notification process.

5. General, Initial, and Requalification Training Program Maintenance
a. Station Departments and Emergency Preparedness share the responsibility for ensuring that the ERO receives all necessary training and retraining. In order to carry this out, responsibilities are assigned as follows:

Corporate Responsibilities for Corporate ERO Personnel

  • Scheduling and conducting initial, retraining, and make-up classes.

Limerick Generating Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies Limericks Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and its key positions are described in the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (EP-AA-1000). This section describes interfaces among Exelon Nuclear emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.

2.1 Shift Technical Advisor (STA) / Incident Assessor Section B.1 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan outlines the On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignment of the STA.

Limerick Generating Station has deemed the following as an acceptable method of implementing Section B.1 in reference to the STA.

The responsibilities of the STA are delineated on OP-AA-101-111, Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel. If the STA is the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor, then another Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) shall assist as Incident Assessor during unexpected conditions and transients. Per EP-AA-1000, Appendix 5, Table 5-1, the on-shift STA or Incident Assessor shall also provide core/thermal hydraulics support to Control Room staff.

2.2 Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Training Training is conducted in accordance with Section O.5 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan per TQ-AA-113, ERO Training and Qualification. Retraining is performed on an annual basis, which is defined as once per calendar year not to exceed 18 months between training sessions.

2.3 Non-Exelon Nuclear Support Groups Agreements exist on file with or are verified current annually by the MA Region Corporate Emergency Preparedness Group for the support agencies listed in Appendix 2 of the Exelon Nuclear Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for LGS.

Additionally, Exelon Nuclear has contractual agreements common within Exelon Nuclear with several companies whose services would be available in the event of a radiological emergency. These agencies are also listed in Appendix 3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

2.4 Nuclear Steam Systems Supplier (NSSS)

General Electric Company maintains an Emergency Response Organization, which can provide technical assistance from their home office or at the site.
