Purpose To outline proposed Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP)
Emergency Plan changes and the considerations used in development of the License Amendment Request (LAR),
including:
- Regulatory Requirements
- Regulatory Guidance
- Recent NRC Approvals of Industry Submittals 4
LAR Scope
- Extending augmentation times increases the population of eligible personnel available to fill response positions and adds more expertise to the emergency response organization.
- The LAR includes an analysis of NUREG-0654 Table B-1 functions as implemented in the Emergency Plan between the last approved and current revisions.
- California Governor's Office of Emergency Services and the County of San Luis Obispo Office of Emergency Services have been informed of the proposed changes.
5
LAR Scope (continued)
- Extends facility activation time for Technical Support Center (TSC), Operational Support Center (OSC) and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) to 90 minutes
- Transfers two maintenance personnel from on-shift to 60 minute responders
- Maintains an Operations Advisor as a 60 minute responder to provide additional on-shift support to the Control Room for plant operations oversight
- Re-aligns the site Field Monitoring Team (FMT) configuration 6
Engineering & Design Considerations The improvements to staffing, equipment, procedures and training that have occurred since the initial approval of the DCPP Emergency Plan have resulted in significant increase in on-shift capabilities and knowledge.
- Use of DCPP real-time radiation monitoring system
- Upgrade from P-250 to Plant Process Computer (PPC)
- Upgrade from Emergency Assessment and Response System (EARS) to EARS / Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS)
- Addition of Automated Call-Out Systems with redundancy
