EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 5 of 33 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for notification of Federal, State and County organizations should a classified emergency provided for in PPM 13.1.1 be declared, upgraded, terminated,
- or a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) be made or modified. It also provides instruction for notification, acknowledgment, and response actions by Energy Northwest emergency response personnel. {R-5.1}
2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 General Initial notification of Washington State and local authorities must be made within 15 minutes following declaration of the emergency event. For Energy Northwest, local authorities are defined as Benton County, Franklin County, Washington State, and the Department of Energy, Richland. Initial notification of the NRC via the Emergency Notification System (ENS) should be made immediately after notification of the appropriate state and local authorities, and must be made not later than one (1) hour after emergency event declaration. Immediate notifications are outlined in Attachment 7.1, Emergency Notification List, Part A - Immediate Notification List. Notification of other offsite agencies is outlined in Attachment 7 .3, Emergency Notification List, Part C - Offsite Agency Notification List. {R-5.4}
Notification of selected non-ERO supervisory staff (Construction and Project Management) is intended to prompt them to notify personnel they are responsible for of an emergency declaration so that appropriate protective action may be initiated for individuals in high noise
.environments or otherwise out of public address range within the owner controlled area.
Emergency notifications are one of the responsibilities assigned to the designated Emergency Director (ED) and will transfer along with the ED function from the Shift Manager to the TSC Manager or EOF Manager. The ED cannot delegate the decision to notify offsite authorities responsible for offsite emergency measures, but may delegate notification actions to other individuals in accordance with this procedure.
If a Transitory Event is discovered as outlined in PPM 13.1.1, ENS notification to the NRC must be made within one (1) hour of the discovery of the undeclared (or mis-classified) event.
State and county authorities will be notified by Emergency Preparedness.
2.2 Security Considerations 2.2.1 The authority to temporarily suspend affected security measures is given to the Columbia Generating Station Emergency Director.
2.2.2 Affected security measures may be suspended per 10 CFR 50.54(x) and 10CFR50.54(y) in an emergency when this action is immediately needed to protect the public health and safety and no other immediately apparent action, consistent with the Columbia Generating Station license conditions and technical specifications, can provide adequate or equivalent protection. Suspension of security measures must be approved as a minimum by a licensed senior reactor
- operator before taking this action. {R-5.3}
Number: 13.4.1 \useC~ego~:REFERENC E Major Rev: 043
Title:
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS 2.2.3 During severe weather, affected security measures may be suspended when Minor Rev: 005 Page: 6 of 33 immediately needed to protect the personal health and safety of security force personnel and no other immediately apparent action consistent with the license conditions and technical specifications can provide adequate or equivalent protection. This suspension of security measures must be approved, as a minimum, by a licensed senior operator, with input from the security supervisor or manager, before taking this action. {R-5.3}
2.2.4 The temporary suspension must be approved by the Emergency Director prior to taking the action unless a life-threatening situation exists and there is insufficient time to obtain prior approval. {R-5.3}
2.2.5 If security measures are temporarily suspended, the NRC Operations Center should be notified as soon as practicable, and in all cases, within one hour of the occurrence. Upon restoration of security measures, the NRC Operations Center shall be notified as soon as practicable. {R-5.3}
2.2.6 Suspended security measures must be restored as soon as practical. {R-5.3}
2.3 Precautions and Limitations 2.3.1 State and local authorities are required to receive emergency event notifications
- within 15 minutes of event classification, a change in event classification, or changes in Protective Action Recommendations (PARs).
NOTE: The time of classification entered on the new CNF should be the time of the new classification or Protective Action Recommendation.
2.3.2 If after beginning to fill out a Classification Notification Form (CNF), but before the event is communicated to anyone offsite, event conditions change which make it necessa~ to reclassify the event or change PARs, discontinue completing the first CNF and begin filling out a new one. If the hard copy CNF is used, mark the discontinued CNF void and include it with the After Action Report per PPM 13.13.4.
The initial 15 minute notification requirement is not waived and the new CNF must be completed within 15 minutes of declaring the previous classification.
2.3.3 If event conditions change which make it necessa~ to reclassify the event or change PARs and offsite notifications are in progress, the current 15 minute notification requirement is not waived. Notifications in progress for the lower level classification or PARs must be compl~ted. Inform the offsite agencies on the Crash phone that classification or PARs will be upgraded and another notification will be forthcoming shortly .

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 23 of 33 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION (ERO)
NOTIFICATION AND RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS General Instructions If the ERO is summoned during freezing or snowy weather, call the Hanford Patrol Operations Center and request that the roads to the plant be cleared or sanded as necessary. Refer to the Emergency Phone Directory for the number.
If an evacuation is necessary beyond the Exclusion Area, contact the Benton and Franklin County Emergency Operations Centers and request that the Benton and Franklin County road supervisors be contacted to assist in determining evacuation risk. Refer to the Emergency Phone Directory for the number.
At Alert or higher emergency classification, on call and Support personnel should report to their assigned emergency centers. Selected ERO personnel may also be instructed to respond at the Unusual Event classification. Security personnel at Energy Northwest roadblocks will direct Plant responders reporting from home to the Health Physics Center (HPC) at the Kootenai Building before going to the Plant if there are hazardous conditions to consider. Otherwise,. personnel will report directly to their assigned emergency center.
Emergency centers are required to be activated within about 90 minutes of classification and of notifying the ERO to report. The 90-minute time window starts at the time ERO pagers activate.
On call ERO members must meet Energy Northwest's Fitness for Duty criteria contained in SWP-FFD-01. Personnel should not acknowledge a telephone notification or report to their emergency center unless Fitness for Duty criteria is met.
10 CFR 26 and Energy Northwest procedures, such as SWP-FFD-01, specify that the consumption of alcohol is prohibited for five hours prior to "any scheduled working tour" and "during the period of any scheduled working tour." Abstinence is not specifically required for other periods. For Emergency Preparedness purposes, a scheduled drill/exercise is considered as a scheduled working tour.
Response to an actual event is considered as a call-in situation or unscheduled working tour.
10 CFR 26 and SWP-FFD-01 address alcohol consumption for call-in/unscheduled working tours.
The called-in person(s) must state whether alcohol has been consumed within the preceding five hours, and the Supervisor/Manager must ensure this information is provided. For those reporting for a call-in/unscheduled working tour and not meeting the five hour abstinence period, a determination of fitness must be made (including any necessary controls or conditions such as supervision or monitoring).
During events that would impact the safe operation of CGS, such as a large scale loss or degradation of the electrical grid, and area communications (pagers, cell towers, internet, land line phone systems) are being challenged or are not working, ERO personnel are expected to ensure their family and home are safe then report to their Emergency Response Facility if they cannot contact the plant for additional guidance .

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 24 of 33 Notification Acknowledgement/Response While at work, ERO personnel may be notified of emergency classifications by one of the following:
- Pager notification
- Public address (PA) announcements
- Word of Mouth
- Telephone message from an automatic dialer Required response to the autodialer is detailed below.
If you receive an ERO notification on your home phone:
- Follow the scripted directions using a touch tone phone. The auto-dialer cannot recognize a Rotary dial or pulse tone phone.
- If you miss part of the message, you may call Dial: "9-1-855-896-2903" or "9-1-844-417-8128"
- (If first number does not work). Otherwise, report directly to your emergency center,* or as directed.
ERO Response Expectations NOTE: The following section applies to all Actual Events, Off-hours Drills, and any other ERO related notification real or simulated EXCEPT for regularly scheduled, pre-advertised Day Shift ERO Team Training Drills (for which the drill team has been pre-designated).
Day Shift ERO Team Training Drills are typically held four or more times per calendar year and are listed on the published ERO Team Drill/Exercise Schedule.
!E in doubt about whether the drill is one of the few regularly scheduled, pre-advertised Day Shift ERO Team Training .Drills, THEN respond as described below for your ERO category as if it is an actual event.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page:*25 of 33 Essential Category
- 1. When an ERO Call-out Notification occurs, all available "ESSENTIAL" category personnel from all four ERO teams (A, B, C, and D) should arrive at their emergency centers as soon as possible but within approximately 60 minutes, regardless of which ERO team is the scheduled duty team at the time of the Call-out Notification. All four teams are required to respond to assure that at least one person arrives in time to fill each "ESSENTIAL" category position within about 60 minutes so as to provide the best chance that all emergency centers will be activated within the 90-minute requirement.
- 2. All ERO personnel in positions classified as "ESSENTIAL" category should report to their emergency centers immediately when paged with either a "222" or "444" code (or to their designated alternate location for Security Contingency codes "191" or "393" when received while off-site. Onsite response to Security Contingency pager codes "191" or "393" is in accordance with the plant PA announcement.) "ESSENTIAL" category members are not expected to call the auto-dialer. "ESSENTIAL" category personnel on all four ERO teams (A, B, C, and D) will receive contact calls from the auto-dialer soon after the pager notification.
However, "ESSENTIAL" category personnel should not wait for the auto-dialer call or take the time to interact with the auto-dialer unless the auto-dialer's call is their first notification contact.
- 3. "ESSENTIAL" category members who receive a pager notification with either a "000" (informational message) or "333" (Unusual Event) code should call the auto-dialer and follow its instructions.
- 4. "ESSENTIAL" category members not on-call are not required to remain fit for duty when not on-call. "ESSENTIAL" category members not on-call are expected to carry their pagers with them at all times. However, if an ERO Call-out occurs, all available "ESSENTIAL" category
- members not on-call are to report if fit for duty.
- 5. The 90-minute center activation time requirement is measured from the point in time when the pagers are activated, not at the time the event is declared by the Shift Manager.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS Page: 26 of 33 Augmenting Category
- 1. All "AUGMENTING" category personnel should call the auto-dialer promptly when paged before reporting to preclude the auto-dialer from attempting to fill the position with members from the ERO teams that are not on-call.
- 2. However, if an "AUGMENTING" category ERO member from a team that is not on-call is contacted by the auto-dialer that means the on-call member in that position has not responded to the auto-dialer and presumably will not respond. In this event, that "AUGMENTING" category team member not on-call is needed to support the on-call ERO team and should respond to the dialer and report to the emergency center if fit for duty.
- 3. On-call "AUGMENTING" category ERO members who cannot contact the auto-dialer (despite multiple attempts) or who receive notice upon contacting the auto-dialer that their position has already been filled (presumably by an off-duty member) should respond to their assigned location to fill their position during actual events (pager code "444" or "191 ") or call-out drills (pager code "222" or "393") or when subsequently directed by appropriate ERO authority. This expectation for on-call staff is necessary to maximize team fidelity and establish team rotation sequence, should subsequent shift staffing be needed.
- 4. "AUGMENTING" category members who are not on-call are not required to remain fit for duty when not on-call. However, if an ERO Call-out occurs, all "AUGMENTING" category members who are contacted by the auto-dialer should report if fit for duty, regardless of whether or not they are on-call.
- 5. Although a 60-minute response expectation does not apply to "AUGMENTING" category members, all "AUGMENTING" category ERO members responding to a Call-out should report as soon as possible .

- 1. All "SUPPORT" category personnel should respond to the auto-dialer when called before reporting to preclude the auto-dialer from attempting to fill the position with members from the ERO teams that are not on-call.
- 2. However, if a "SUPPORT" category ERO member from a team that is not on-call is contacted by the auto-dialer, that means the on-call member in that position has not responded to the auto-dialer and presumably will not respond. In this event, that "SUPPORT" category team member not on-call is needed to support the on-call ERO team and should respond to the dialer and report to the emergency center if fit for duty.
- 3. On-call "SUPPORT" category ERO members (with a Pager) who cannot contact the auto-dialer (despite multiple attempts) or who receive notice upon contacting the auto-dialer that their position has already been filled (presumably by an off-duty member) should respond to their assigned location to fill their position during actual events (pager code "444" or "191 ") or call-out drills (pager code "222" or "393") or when subsequently directed by appropriate ERO authority. This expectation for on-call staff is necessary to maximize team fidelity and establish team rotation sequence, should subsequent shift staffing be needed.
- 4. An approximate 60-minute response expectation applies to "SUPPORT" category members from telephonic notification. All "SUPPORT" category ERO members responding to a Call-out Notification should report as soon as possible.
- 5. "SUPPORT" category members who are not on-call are not required to remain fit for duty when not on-call. However, if an ERO Call-out occurs, all "SUPPORT" category members who are contacted by the auto-dialer should report if fit for duty, regardless of whether or not they are on-call.

- 2. Scheduled ERO Team Training Drills are typically held four or more times per calendar year, involve a pre-designated drill team, and are scheduled months in advance. See the published ERO Team Drill/Exercise Schedule to confirm the team assignment for Scheduled ERO Team Training Drills.
- 3. To minimize unnecessary impact to other scheduled station activities, those ERO members not designated to participate in the Scheduled ERO Team Training Drill on a given day should initially allow the designated training team to respond.
- 4. ERO members who are not scheduled to participate in that day's Scheduled ERO Team Training Drill should give the scheduled team time to call in to the auto-dialer (about 20 minutes).
- 5. Response to Scheduled ERO_Team Training Drills by the scheduled participants should be as prompt as safely possible, and should not exceed 60 minutes from initial notification .

- 1. "ESSENTIAL" category ERO members who are scheduled to participate in the drill should report to their designated drill location without delay. They should not take time to contact the auto-dialer. Prompt arrival is critical to ensure full staffing to activate.
- 2. "ESSENTIAL" category ERO members who are not participating in the drill should confirm they re_ceived a pager code for a training drill (either "222" or "393") or that the plant announcement stated it was for an ERO Drill and await contact by the auto-dialer.
This is *done to ensure the notification was not for an actual event and to keep auto-dialer lines open to accept calls from the designated training team.
- a. After confirming that the occurrence is a Drill, the non-participating "ESSENTIAL" category ERO members should await contact from the auto-dialer, listen to the call (to confirm it.is for the scheduled Drill) and decline the position. This is done to "free up" auto-dialer resources to contact ERO members who are participating in the drill.
- b. IF a non-participating "ESSENTIAL" category ERO member is contacted by ERO personnel & asked to respond, THEN they must do so immediately, if fit for duty. This request indicates that the scheduled "ESSENTIAL" category team member is presumed to be unable to respond and the non-scheduled person is needed to report to their designated location to support center activation.

- a. After confirming that the occurrence is a Drill, the non-participating "AUGMENTING" category ERO members who receive a call from the auto-dialer should neither accept nor decline the first call. They should listen to the call and hang up before accepting or declining the position. This is done to allow the scheduled participant additional time to call in and accept the position, .
while keeping the auto-dialer primed to call this person back if the scheduled person does not fill the position.
- b. "AUGMENTING" category ERO members who receive a second call from the auto-dialer should then listen to the call, accept the position, and report to their designated location. In this event, the scheduled "AUGMENTING" category team member is presumed to be unable to respond and the non-scheduled person is needed to support the responding ERO team and should report to their designated location if fit for duty.

Title:
Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 4 of 32 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for the use of the computerized dose projection system Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) to predict offsite dose rates, integrated doses and radioactive material deposition for locations within the 10-mile Plume Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) and the 50-mile Ingestion EPZ. Actual manipulation of system display terminals is described in document MAN-URl-01 referred to as the URI User's Manual.
The dose projection system is used for estimating the whole body (TEDE) and thyroid (COE) doses of onsite and offsite persons in the event of potential or actual accidental release of radioactivity to the environment. The dose projection system used at Columbia consists of a computer software program that relies on pre-calculated, real time, site-specific relationships between effluent monitor readings (or sample results) and on-site and offsite dose rates.
The dose projection system is available in the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and Alternate EOF.
Having the dose projection system software loaded on multiple, stand-alone computers located in the various emergency centers maximizes dose projection capability. Field Team data may be used to calculate dose projections or validate previous projections.
The software program supports a rapid version of dose projection using limited pathways for a rapid evaluation of the release out to 10 miles. The software also supports a detailed dose projection based on more detailed pathways with dose projections from the site boundary out to 10 or 50 miles.
- 2.0 2.1 State and county organizations will have access to this system in the EOF or by transmission of output information to their emergency centers.
DEFINITIONS COE Thyroid - Committed Dose Equivalent to the thyroid.
2.2 Delta T - The temperature difference between two sensors located at different elevations on a meteorological tower.
2.3 EDE to TEDE Ratio (EDE/TEDE) - Ratios computed by URI that are used for determining the Emergency Worker Dose Adjustment Factor. The EDE is the external gamma dose that is normally monitored by emergency workers through their self-reading dosimeters (electronic dosimeters or pocket ion chambers); and TEDE is the total dose from both EDE and the internal dose fro"m inhaled iodines and particulates.
2.4 Elevated Release - An effluent release point model that assumes that the release point is from a discreet true elevated (tall) stack.
2.5 Emergency Worker Dose Adjustment Factor (EWDAF) - An adjustment factor determined from the EDE/TEDE Ratio that is used by offsite emergency workers to monitor their TEDE whole body dose based on their EDE doses as measured on their self-reading dosimeters. The adjustment factor is the inverse of the EDE/TEDE Ratio reported by URI (for example, an EDE/TEDE Ratio of 0.15 would mean that the EWDAF is 1 / 0.15 = 6. 7) .

Title:
Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 5 of 32 2.6 Radioactive Release - A radioactive release is in progress when:
Effluent monitors indicate an increase in radiation levels from normal readings for plant operating conditions, or Field teams detect environmental radiation 1O times greater than normal background.
ANO The increased levels are attributable to the emergency event.
2.7 Radioactive Release Termination - A radioactive release is terminated when the following criteria have been met:
- t. The source of the release has been isolated;
- 2. The effluent monitors are trending downward (if available);
- 3. Environmental Field Team surveys indicate a decrease in radiation levels or airborne radioactivity.
2.8 RASCAL - NRG supported and distributed computer software for determining source term, atmospheric dispersion, and dose consequences; 2.9 Site Boundary (SB) - Closest distance between owner controlled area boundary and core, set
- 2.10 2.11 at 1.2 miles .
Source Term - The quantity and radionuclide makeup of the material in the release. The source term used in URI is based on NUREG-1228.
Stability Class - Values from A to G representing ranges of Delta T which in turn represent atmospheric mixing estimations. The NRG definitions of these ranges are used to define the stability classes used in URI.
- 2.12 Stack Door Monitor (SOM) - A portable radiation survey meter (e.g., Teletector) or radiation monitoring instrument (e.g., AMP-100) used for monitoring radiation levels at the exterior and center of the Elevated Release Stack Access Door (R-DOOR-R515). This provides an alternate means for monitoring Reactor Building post-accident effluent releases when the installed Process Radiation Monitor (PRM) Stack Monitor is inoperable or unavailable. SOM readings (in mR/hr) are available from HP; or, when set up for remote monitoring, through eDNA Real-Time Client or eDNA Trend from eDNA Point IDs EP99M (mid-range SOM) and EP99H (high-range SOM) in the ENW.WRM Service.
2.13 TEDE - Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) - The sum of the Deep Dose Equivalent (DOE) and the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE).
2.14 Unified RASCAL Interface (URI) - Computer software which replaces the NRG issued RASCAL user interface for user input of dose assessment parameters and interpretation of results that interfaces to the RA?CAL meteorological and dose processor modules .

There is one cart for TEA, and a different cart for WEA readings. While the equations below apply directly to the readings from either cart, it is critical to ensure that the WEA cart readings are only used for WEA dose assessments and TEA readings be used for TEA dose assessments. IF both WEA and TEA are non-functional, then both carts will be in operation and the dose assessments must be derived from the respective cart.
The technical basis for this compensatory measure equivalency can be found in RSCS TSD-13-035 (CVI 1057-00, 131 ). The conversion equations below are used for calculating equivalent inputs for URI. Data from the CNGM will be available to the Main Control Room for monitoring a release during this compensatory measure.

- 12. REVIEW the process reduction factor selections on the bottom of the pathway page. Defaults are specified but these may be changed as needed to better represent the plant status.
!E pathway is through Standby Gas Treatment (SBGT),
THEN CHANGE "Reactor Building Reductions" Hold-Up Time to 2-24 Hours .
THEN SELECT SBGT Status (Working or Not Working)
- 13. SELECT "Accept" on the pathways page.

Title:
Emergency Dose Projection System Operations Page: 32 of 32 NOTE: If TAB cannot be selected, then the pathway selected does not support monitored release assessment.
- 14. IF pathway is from the RB Stack, TB Exhaust or RW Exhaust, THEN SELECT Monitored TAB top center.
NOTE:
- If release is from the Reactor Building Stack, you may use Stack Comp (Rad Stat) or Composite (Containment Status) if available; select Monitor based upon value as shown below:
o PRM-RE-11 (low) if radiation level is LE 1E-2 µCi/cc o PRM-RE-12 (mid) if radiation level is GT 1E-2 thru LE 1E1 µCi/cc o PRM-RE-13 (hi) if radiation level is GT 1E1 µCi/cc o Stack Door Monitor (if in service as compensatory measure)
- If release is from the Turbine Building Exhaust, use the COMP reading
- If release is from the Radwaste Building Exhaust, use the COMP reading
- 15. SELECT a monitor that has valid and on-scale data for selected pathway.
- 16. ENTER the Monitor reading for the selected monitor.
- 17. ENTER the Release Point Flow Rate. (If SBGT is running and Reactor Building Exhaust Fans are
- shutdown; use the total of the running SBGT train flowrates.)
- 18. SELECT the 10 miles or 50 miles Process Assessment button. - A green progress bar will be displayed. Typical calculation times will be less than 20 seconds.
Results for dose assessment by distance will be displayed.
- 19. SELECT "View the Evacuation Area Graphic" (GLOBE) icon below "Monitored" TAB for PAR graphic.
- 20. To perform an update or different calculation, CHANGE any or all input values as needed and
- SELECT the Process Assessment button again. If only changing one field, it may be necessary to click out of that field to get the Process Assessment button to appear.
- 21. SELECT Print Preview Options (magnifying glass icon directly below the "Monitored" TAB) to view the Dose Assessment report. The Receptor Point Report is not used at CGS.
- 22. Either SELECT the "Printer" to print or SELECT "Close" to return to the main screen.
- 23. !E printing is desired from the main screen, THEN SELECT Print Options (printer icon directly below the "Monitored" TAB) to print out a copy of the Dose Assessment report.
- 24. COMPARE URI output at 1.2 miles for EALs per PPM 13.1.1 and for potential protective action recommendations.
- 26. FORWARD to the Emergency Director for approval prior to releasing data for distribution .
