Serial No.: 18-364 Docket Nos.: 50-245/336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/4 7 /55/56 Enclosure 2 Page 1 of 4 DISCUSSION OF CHANGE BACKGROUND North Anna Power Station (NAPS) and Surry Power Station (SPS)

By letter dated March 28, 2007, as supplemented by letters dated October 2, 2007 and January 18, 2008, Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion Energy Virginia) requested Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of changes to the emergency action levels (EALs) for NAPS Units 1 and 2 and SPS Units 1 and 2. The requested changes were to convert from an EAL scheme based on NUREG-0654, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plan and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," to one based on NEI 99-01,

  • "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels," Revision 4. The NRC completed a technical and regulatory review of the proposed EAL changes and supporting documentation. The NRC staff concluded that incorporation of the proposed EAL changes would not decrease the effectiveness of the applicable Emergency Plans and the revised Plans would continue to meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated February 4, 2008 documented the staff's basis for accepting the proposed EAL changes based on Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Revision 4, for NAPS and SPS.

Since February 4, 2008, four EAL changes in accordance with NEI 99-01, Revision 4 have been submitted and approved by the NRC as documented in SERs dated April 8, 2009, January 26, 2011, September 25, 2011, and February 2, 2016.

Millstone Power Station (MPS)

By letter dated June 27, 1994, as supplemented by letter dated January 3, 1995, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company requested NRC approval of changes to the EALs for MPS Units 1, 2 and 3. The requested changes were to convert from an EAL scheme based on NUREG-0654, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plan and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," to one based on NUMARC/NESP-007, Revision 2. The NRC completed a technical and regulatory review of the proposed EAL changes and supporting documentation. The NRC staff .concluded that incorporation of the proposed EAL changes would meet the

-requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. NRC SER dated February 27, 1995 documented the staff's basis for accepting the proposed EAL changes* in accordance with NUMARC/NESP-007, Revision 2, for MPS, and subsequently endorsed the EAL scheme in NRC SER dated June 4, 1998 as part of the review of the MPS Emergency Plan, Revision 24.

A revision to the EALs for MPS Unit 1 (MPS 1) was processed in 2000 to reflect the permanently defueled status of the unit. The revised EALs were developed using

Serial No.: 18-364 Docket Nos.: 50-245/336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/4 7/55/56 Enclosure 2; Page 2 of 4 NEI 99-01, Draft Revision 4, since it was the industry guidance available at that time.

The EAL changes were implemented in Revision 26 of the MPS1 Emergency Plan and were reviewed by the NRC during subsequent on-site annual inspections of the MPS1 Emergency Plan.

  • Proposed Change The proposed EAL change will implement new EAL schemes based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," for MPS1, 2 and 3, and NAPS and SPS Units 1 and 2. An EAL Comparison Matrix has been prepared for MPS1, MPS2, MPS3, NAPS and SPS [collectively referred to as site/unit] which provides a means for assessing site/unit differences and deviations from the NRC endorsed guidance provided in NEI 99-01, Rev. 6. The EAL Comparison Matrix documents are provided in Enclosures 3, 4 and 5 for MPS, NAPS and SPS, respectively.

The proposed EAL revisions constitute EAL scheme changes from the previously approved NRC EALs. 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.B.2, stipulates that a licensee desiring to change its entire EAL scheme shall submit an application for an amendment to its license and receive NRC approval before implementing the change.

Therefore, DENG and Dominion. Energy Virginia are requesting NRG review and approval of the proposed EAL revisions for MPS, NAPS and SPS.

  • Justification The proposed changes affect the MPS, NAPS and SPS EALs, but do not alter the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications.
  • The changes do not alter any of the assumptions used in the safety analyses, nor do they cause any safety system parameters to exceed their acceptance limit. Therefore, the proposed changes have no adverse effect on plant safety. Additionally, the changes can be made without adverse impact to plant operations or to the health and safety of the public. The proposed changes are also being requested, in part, to more accurately reflect expected site dose rates. A summary of the site-specific and EP-FAQ approved NEI 99-01, Rev. 6, deviations is included in Table 3 of Enclosures 3, 4 and 5 for MPS, NAPS and SPS, respectively. Based on the technical analysis performed by DENG and Dominion Energy Virginia, the proposed change is considered acceptable.

No Significant Hazards Consideration Dominion has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is warranted with the proposed change addressing the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) as discussed below.

Serial No.: 18-364 Docket Nos.: 50-245/336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/4 7 /55/56 Enclosure 2; Page 3 of 4 Criterion 1:

Do the proposed amendments involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes affect the MPS, NAPS and SPS EALs by incorporating new EAL schemes, as well as associated revised engineering analysis, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not modify any plant equipment and do not impact any failure modes that could lead to an accident. Additionally, the proposed changes have no effect on the consequences of any analyzed accident since the changes do not affect any equipment related to accident mitigation. Based on this discussion, the proposed changes do not increase the*probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 2:

Do the proposed amendments create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes affect the MPS, NAPS and SPS EALs by incorporating new EAL schemes, as well as associated revised engineering analysis, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The changes do not modify any plant equipment'and there are no impacts on the capability of existing equipment to perform its intended design functions. No system setpoints are being modified and no new failure modes are introduced by the proposed changes. The proposed changes do not introduce any new accident initiators or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 3:

Do the proposed amendments involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed changes affect the MPS, NAPS and SPS EALs by incorporating new EAL schemes, as well as a~sociated revised engineering analysis, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not affect any of the assumptions used in the accident analyses, nor do the proposed changes affect any operability requirements for equipment important to plant safety. Therefore, the proposed changes will not result in a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

In summary, DENC and Dominion Energy Virginia conclude that the proposed changes do not represent a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c).

Serial No.: 18-364 Docket Nos.: 50-245/336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/4 7 /55/56 Enclosure 2; Page 4 of 4 Environmental Consideration DENG and Dominion Energy Virginia have determined that the proposed changes would not change requirements with respect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 1o CFR 20, nor would they change inspection or surveillance requirements. DENG and Dominion Energy Virginia have evaluated the proposed changes and have determined that the changes do not involve:

1. A Significant Hazards Consideration, -
2. A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of an effluent that may be released offsite, or
3. A significant increase in 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)(9) and (1 O)(ii). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b ), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed changes.

Description EAL IC Example EAL PD-HU2 1 HU1.1 The proposed MPS1 HU1 .1 wording is intended to ensure that an Unusual Event should be declared only when actual or potential performance issues with SAFETY SYSTEMS (SFP Cooling or Decay Heat Removal Systems) have occurred as a result of a hazardous event. In order to warrant declaration, the hazardous event should cause indications of degraded performance to either

. SAFETY SYSTEM (SFP Cooling or Decay Heat Removal).

The EAL and the Basis section have been revised to ensure potential classification of an Unusual Event, due to a hazardous event, is appropriate as the concern associated with this EAL is: (1) a hazardous event has occurred, and (2) either SAFETY SYSTEM (SFP Cooling or Decay Heat Removal) is having performance issues as a result of the hazardous event.

A loss of offsite AC power is excluded as the loss of power does not result in actual damage to the specified SAFETY SYSTEMS.

The definition for VISIBLE DAMAGE has been deleted to reflect the fact (SFP Cooling or Decay Heat Removal) that the EAL is based upon degraded performance of either SAFETY SYSTEM rather than just damage to individual components or structures that do not result in degraded safety system performance.

The proposed HU1 .1 is derived from NRG FAQ 2016-002 requiring degraded performance or visible damage to more than one safety system train caused by the specified events. However, for MPS1, the only Safety Systems are SFP Cooling and Decay Heat Removal. Neither of these systems have multiple trains.

That is, they are each single train safety systems. Therefore this threshold has been limited to degraded performance of either safety system.

While FAQ 2016-02 is applicable to NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 ICs CA6 and SA9 for operating reactors, IC/EAL PD-HU2 is the permanently defueled reactor equivalent of those thresholds.

This revised wording is a deviation from the NEI 99-01 Rev. 6 PD-HU2 generic wording and bases. This deviation is deemed acceptable consistent

. proposed for Dominion Energy's operating nuclear facilities.

The operating facilities use a dose-based criterion based on exceeding 1 mrem TEDE for 60 minutes or longer. For a shutdown nuclear facility like Millstone 1 that has essentially only Kr-85 as a source term, dose-based criteria would be inappropriate. This is due to fact that the damage to fuel to produce sufficient source to create 1 mrem TEDE would be inconsistent with the Unusual Event definition and basis (represents a loss of plant control and deqradation in the

Serial No.18-364 MPS1 - EAL Comparison Matrix Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3; Attachment 1A Page 11 of 25 Table 3 - MPS1 Comparison Matrix level of safety). To create a release that would result in 1 mrem TEDE, nearly 600 irradiated fuel assemblies decayed for over 22 years would need to fail. Setting the NOUE threshold based on a release greater' than two times the site-specific release limit would correlate to the failure of approximately1 .5 irradiated fuel assemblies. This number of .

IC Example EAL AU1 1, 2, 3 RU1.1, RU1.2, Generic IC AU1 has been split to address gaseous and liquid releases RU1 .3, RU1 .4, separately.

RU1.5 The basis for the gaseous UE IC and associated thresholds has been revised to correspond to any unplanned release of gaseous effluent radioactivity to the environment that will result in greater than 1 mrem TEDE.

This UE gaseous release criterion is being used consistently at all operating Dominion Energy nuclear stations (Millstone, North Anna and Surry). The reason this alternative criterion is required is due to the fact that for some effluent gaseous release pathways, the resulting calculated UE threshold following the NEI 99-01 guidance of two times the site specific effluent release limit would result in a UE threshold value greater than the corresponding calculated ALERT threshold based on exceeding 1O mrem TEDE. For the other gaseous release pathways that did not show an

' incongruent relationship when compared to the ALERT threshold, many showed UE values essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE when applying the guidance in NEI 99-01 of a value set at two times the site specific effluent release limit. The fact that, (1) many of the gaseous release pathway UE values following NEI 99-01 guidance were essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE, (2) application of an alternative definition set at a value of 1 mrem TEDE results in a more limiting value for those release paths that showed incongruent comparison to the corresponding ALERT threshold, and (3) UE criterion set at a value ten (10) times lower than the ALERT threshold provides a logical and consistent escalation between each classification level, provides justification for the UE criterion of 1 mrem TEDE. This single Initiating Condition (IC) definition for gaseous releases at the UE level is being applied to maintain consistency across the Dominion Energy nuclear fleet and to reduce confusion and human error potential if two different (IC) definitions were applied. Due to the fact that there are no ODCM limits on

IC Example EAL safeties and auxiliary feedwater exhaust are being labeled N/A (not applicable).

This revised IC and associated thresholds is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 AU1 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with the above justification.

HG1 1 N/A IC HG1 and associated example EAL is not implemented in the MPS2 scheme.

There are several other ICs that are redundant with this IC, and are better suited to ensure timely and effective emergency declarations. In addition, the development of new spent fuel pool level EALs, as a result of NRC Order EA-12-051, clarified the intended emergency classification level for spent fuel pool level events. This deviation is justified because:

1. Hostile Action in the Protected Area is bounded by ICs HS1 and HS7.

Hostile Action resulting in a loss of phy~ical control is bounded by EAL HG?, as well as any event that may lead to radiological releases to the public in excess of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective

,. Action Guides (PAGs).

a. If, for whatever reason, the Control Room must be evacuated, and control of safety functions (e.g., reactivity control, core cooling, and RCS heat removal) cannot be reestablished, then IC HS6 would apply, as well as IC HS7 if desired by the EAL decision-maker.
b. Also, as- stated above, any event (including Hostile Action) that could reasonably be expected to have a release exceeding EPA PAGs would be bounded by IC HG?,

C. From a Hostile Action perspective, ICs HS1, HS7 and HG? are appropriate, and therefore, make this part of HG1 redundant and unnecessary.

d. From a loss of physical control perspective, ICs HS6, HS7 and HG?

are appropriate, and therefore, make this part of HG1 redundant and unnecessary.

2. Any event which causes a loss of spent fuel pool level will be bounded by ICs AA2, AS2 and AG2, regardless of whether it was based upon a Hostile Action or not, thus making this part of HG1 redundant and unnecessary.
a. An event that leads to a radiological release will be b.ounded by ICs AU1, AA1, AS1 and AG1. Events that lead to radiological releases in excess of EPA PAGs will be bounded by EALs AG1 and HG?, thus making this part of HG1 redundant and unnecessary.
  • 1cs AA2, AS2, AG2, AS1, AG1, HS1, HS6, HS7 and HG? have been implemented consistent with NEI 99-01, Revision 6 and thus HG1 is adequately bounded as described above.

This exclusion of the generic HG1 guidance is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 generic guidance but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2015-013.

HS6 1 HS6.1 Deleted defueled mode applicability. Control of the cited safety functions are not critical for a defueled reactor as there is no energy source in the reactor vessel or RCS.

The Mode applicability for the reactivity control safety function has been limited to Modes 1, 2, and 3 (hot operating conditions). In the cold operating modes adequate shutdown margin exists under all conditions.

This revised mode applicability is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 HS6 generic guidance but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2015-014.

Serial No.18-364 MPS2 - EAL Comparison Matrix Document Docket No. 50-336 Enclosure 3; Attachment 1 B Page 16 of 126 Table 3 - Summary of Deviations NEI MPS2 Description EAL(s)

IC Example EAL CA6 1 CA6.1 The proposed MPS2 CA6.1 and MA9.1 wording is intended to ensure that an Alert should be declared only when actual or potential performance issues SA9 1 MA9.1 with SAFETY SYSTEMS have occurred as a result of a hazardous event.

The occurrence of certain hazardous events may result in an Unusual Event classification at a minimum. In order to warrant escalation to the Alert classification, the hazardous event may cause indications of degraded performance to one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM with either an indication of degraded performance on the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second SAFETY SYSTEM train, such that the operability or reliability of the second train is a concern. In addition, escalation to the Alert classification should not occur if the damage from the hazardous event is limited to a SAFETY SYSTEM that was inoperable, or out of service, prior to the event occurring. As such, the proposed EALs will reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, (i.e.,

does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant).

EALs CA6.1 and MA9.1 do not directly escalate to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency due to a hazardous event. The Fission Product Barrier and/or Abnormal Radiation Levels/Radiological Effluent recognition categories would provide an escalation path to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.

The EALs and the Basis sections have been revised to ensure potential escalations from an Unusual Event to an Alert, due to a hazardous event, is appropriate as the concern with these EALs is: (1) a hazardous event. This has occurred, (2) one SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues as a result of the hazardous event, and (3) either the second SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues or the VISIBLE DAMAGE indicates that the second SAFETY SYSTEM train may have operability or reliability issues.

IC Example EAL The definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE has been revised to reflect the fact that the EALs are based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains rather than individual components or structures.

"Note 9 has been added to CA6.1 and MA9.1 as it meets the intent of the EALs, is consistent with other EALs (e.g., EAL HA5.1 which was previously endorsed by the NRG), and ensures that declared emergencies are based upon unplanned events with the potential to pose a radiological risk to the public.

Note 10 has been added to CA6.1 and MA9.1 to help reinforce and succinctly capture the more detailed information from the revised basis section related to when conditions would require the declaration of an Alert.

CA6.1 and MA9.1 are consistent with NRG FAQ 2016-002 requiring degraded performance or visible damage to more than one safety system train caused by the specified events.

This revised wording is-a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 CA6 and SA9 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2016-002.

SG1 1 MG1.1 The proposed MPS2 MG1 .1 omits the Station Blackout (SBO) coping time threshold. As proposed, the General Emergency classification would be based on a loss of all onsite and offsite AC power to the emergency buses with indications of degraded core cooling. The MPS2 SBO analysis and derived coping time was determined in accordance with 10CFR50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155. This analysis does not take credit for plant capabilities in place to mitigate the effects of an extended loss of AC power (ELAP). These capabilities were developed and implemented to meet the requirements of NRG Orders EA-12-049 and EA-12-051, and pending regulations in 10 CFR 50.155 (per SECY-16-0142).

In accordance with plant EOPs, operators will declare an ELAP within 45

Even if no AC emergency bus is energized, these actions will maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities indefinitely. Therefore, the underlying basis for the generic EAL coping time statement, that power must be restored to an AC emergency bus within a fixed amount of time to avoid a severe challenge to one or more fission product barriers, is not valid for MPS2.

Additionally, the omission of the SBO coping time threshold does not remove the attribute of a likely General Emergency declaration prior to meeting the IC FG1 thresholds for ELAP events in which the RCS barrier has not been lost.

This revised wording is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 SG1 generic wording and bases but is deemed appropriate and acceptable.

mremTEDE The basis for the gaseous UE IC and associated thresholds MODE:AII has been revised to correspond to any unplanned release of gaseous effluent radioactivity to the environment that will result in greater than 1 mrem TEDE. This UE gaseous release criterion is being used consistently at all operating Dominion Energy nuclear stations (Millstone, North Anna and Surry). The reason this alternative criterion is required is due to the fact that for some effluent gaseous release pathways, the resulting calculated UE threshold following the NEI 99-01 guidance of two times the site specific effluent release limit wo1,1ld result in a UE threshold value greater than the corresponding calculated ALERT threshold based on exceeding 10 mrem TEDE. For the other gaseous release pathways that did not show an incongruent relationship when compared to the ALERT threshold, many showed UE values essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE when applying the guidance in NEI 99-01 of a value set at two times the site specific effluent release limit. The fact that, (1) many of the gaseous release pathway UE values following NEI 99-01 guidance were essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE, (2) application of an alternative definition set at a value of 1 mrem TEDE results in a more limiting value for those release paths that showed incongruent

UE criterion set at a value ten (10) times lower than the ALERT threshold provides a logical and*consistent escalation between each classification level, provides justification for the UE criterion of 1 mrem TEDE. This single Initiating Condition (IC) definition for gaseous ,

releases at the UE level is being applied to maintain consistency across the Dominion Energy nuclear fleet and to reduce confusion and human error potential if two different (IC) definitions were applied. Due to the fact that there are no ODCM limits on steam safeties or auxiliary feedwater exhausts and the limited ability for these respective radiation monitors to detect low level radioactivity in these steam line configurations, the UE classification thresholds for the steam safeties and auxiliary feedwater exhaust are being labeled N/A (not applicable).

This revised IC and associated thresholds is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 AU1 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with the above justification.

Generic IC AU 1 has been split to address gaseous and liquid releases separately. RU1 .3, RU1 .4, The basis for the gaseous UE IC and associated thresholds has been revised to RU1.5 correspond to any unplanned release of gaseous effluent radioactivity to the environment that will result in greater than 1 mrem TEDE. This UE gaseous release criterion is being used consistently at all operating Dominion Energy nuclear stations (Millstone, North Anna and Surry). The reason this alternative criterion is required is due to the fact that for some effluent gaseous release pathways, the resulting calculated UE threshold following the NEI 99-01 guidance of two times the site specific effluent release limit would result in a UE threshold value greater than the corresponding calculated ALERT threshold based on exceeding 1O mrem TEDE. For _the other gaseous release pathways that did not show an incongruent relationship when compared to the ALERT threshold, many showed UE values essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE when applying the guidance in NEI 99-01 of a value set at two times the site specific effluent release limit. The fact that, (1) many of the gaseous release pathway UE values following NEI 99-01 guidance were essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE, (2) application of an alternative definition set at a value of 1 mrem TEDE results in a more limiting value for those release paths that showed incongruent comparison to the corresponding ALERT threshold, and (3) UE criterion set at a value ten (1 O) times lower than the ALERT threshold provides a logical and consistent escalation between each classification level, provides justification for the UE criterion of 1 mrem TEDE. This single Initiating Condition (IC) definition for gaseous releases at the UE level is being applied to maintain consistency across the Dominion Energy nuclear fleet and to reduce confusion and human error potential if two different (IC) definitions were applied. Due to the fact that there are no ODCM limits on steam safeties or auxiliary feedwater exhausts and the limited ability for these respective radiation monitors to detect low level radioactivity in-these steam line configurations, the UE classification thresholds for the steam safeties and auxiliary feedwater exhaust are being labeled N/A (not applicable).

Serial No. 18-364 MPS3 - EAL Comparison Matrix Document Docket No. 50-423 Enclosure 3, Attachment 1C Page 14 of 123 Table 3 - Summary of Deviations NEI MPS3 Description EAL IC Example EAL This revised IC and associated thresholds is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 AU1 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with the above justification. HG1 1 N/A IC HG1 and associated example EAL is not implemented in the MPS3 scheme. There are several other ICs that are redundant with this IC, and are better suited to ensure timely and effective emergency declarations. In addition, the development of new spent fuel pool level EALs, as a result of NRG Order EA 051, clarified the intended emergency classification level for spent fuel pool level events. This deviation is justified because:

1. Hostile Action in the Protected Area is bounded by ICs HS1 and HS7. Hostile Action resulting in a loss of physical control is bounded by EAL HG7, as well as any event that may lead to radiological releases to the public in excess of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs).
a. If, for whatever reason, the Control Room must be evacuated, and control of safety functions (e.g., reactivity control, core cooling, and RCS heat removal) cannot be reestablished, then IC HS6 would apply, as well as IC HS7 if desired by the EAL decision-maker.
b. Also, as stated above, any event (including Hostile Action) that could reasonably be expected to have a release exceeding EPA PAGs would be bounded by IC HG7.

C. From a Hostile Action perspective, ICs HS1, HS7 and HG7 are appropriate, and therefore, make this part of HG1 redundant and unnecessary.

d. From a loss of physical control perspective, ICs HS6, HS7 and HG7 are appropriate, and therefore, make this part of HG1 redundant and unnecessary.
2. Any event which causes a loss of spent fuel pool level will be bounded by ICs AA2, AS2 and AG2, regardless of whether it was based upon a Hostile Action

a. An event that leads to a radiological release will be bounded by ICs AU1, AA 1, AS1 and AG1. Events that lead to radiological releases in excess of EPA PAGs will be bounded by EALs AG1 and HG7, thus making this part of HG1 redundant and un_necessary.

ICs AA2, AS2, AG2, AS1, AG1, HS1, HS6, HS7 and HG7 have been implemented consistent with NEI 99-01, Revision 6 and thus HG1 is adequately bounded as described above. This exclusion of the generic HG1 guidance is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 generic guidance but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2015-013. HS6 1 HS6.1 Deleted defueled mode applicability. Control of the cited safety functions are not critical for a defueled reactor as there is no energy source in the reactor vessel or RCS. The Mode applicability for the reactivity control safety function has been limited to Modes 1, 2, and 3.(hot operating conditions).

CA6 1 CA6.1 The proposed MPS3 CA6.1 and MA9.1 wording is intended to ensure that an Alert should be declared only when actual or potential performance issues with SA9 1 MA9.1 SAFETY SYSTEMS have occurred as a result of a hazardous event The occurrence of certain hazardous events may result in an Unusual Event classification at a minimum. In order to warrant escalation to the Alert classification, the hazardous event must cause indications of degraded performance to one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM with either an indication of degraded performance on the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second SAFETY SYSTEM train, such that the operability or

In addition, escalation to the Alert classification should not occur if the damage from the hazardous event is limited to a SAFETY SYSTEM that was inoperable, or out of service, prior to the event occurring. As such, the proposed EALs will reduce the potential of declaring an Alert when events are in progress that do not involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant, (i.e., does not cause significant concern with shutting down or cooling down the plant). I EALs CA6.1 and MA9.1 do not directly escalate to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency due to a hazardous event. The Fission Product Barrier and/or Abnormal Radiation Levels/Radiological Effluent recognition categories would provide an escalation path to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The EALs and the Basis sections have been revised to ensure potential escalations from an Unusual Event to an Alert, due to a hazardous event, is appropriate as the concern with these EALs is: (1) a hazardous event has occurred, (2) one SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues as a result of the hazardous event, and (3) either the second SAFETY SYSTEM train is having performance issues or the VISIBLE DAMAGE indicates that the second SAFETY SYSTEM train may have operability or reliability issues. The definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE has been revised to reflect the fact that the EALs are based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains rather than individual components or structures. Note 9 has been added to CA6.1 and MA9.1 as it meets the intent of the EALs, is consistent with other EALs (e.g., EAL HA5.1 which was previously endorsed by the NRC), and ensures that declared emergencies are based upon unplanned events with the potential to pose a radiological risk to the public. Note 1O has been added to CA6.1 and MA9.1 to help reinforce and succinctly capture the more detailed information from the revised basis section related to when conditions would require the declaration of an Alert. CA6.1 and MA9.1 are consistent with NRC FAQ 2016-002 requiring degraded performance or visible damaqe to more than one safety svstem train caused bv

This revised wording is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 CA6 and SA9 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2016-002. SG1 1 MG1.1 The proposed MPS3 MG1 .1 omits the Station Blackout (SBO) coping time threshold. As proposed, the General Emergency classification would be based on a loss of all onsite and offsite AC power to the emergency buses with indications of degraded core cooling. The MPS3 SBO analysis and derived coping time was determined in accordance with 10CFR50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155. This analysis does not take credit for plant capabilities in place to mitigate the effects of an extended loss of AC power (ELAP). These capabilities were developed and implemented to meet the requirements of NRG Orders EA-12-049 and EA 051, and pending regulations in 10 CFR 50.155 (per SECY-16-0142). In accordance with plant EOPs, operators will declare an ELAP within 45 min. of the loss of all AC power to the emergency buses and direct implementation of FLEX Support Guidelines, including the deployment of dedicated portable equipment and performance of DC load shedding. Even if no AC emergency bus is energized, these actions will maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities indefinitely. Therefore, the underlying basis for the generic EAL coping time statement, that power must be restored to an AC emergency bus within a fixed amount of time to avoid a severe challenge to one or more fission product barriers, is not valid for MPS3. Additionally, the omission of the SBO coping time threshold does not remove the attribute of a likely General Emergency declaration prior to meeting the IC FG1 thresholds for ELAP events in which the RCS barrier has not been lost. This revised wording is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 SG1 generic wording and bases but is deemed appropriate and acceptable.

This UE gaseous release criterion is being used consistently at all operating Dominion Energy nuclear stations (Millstone, North Anna and Surry). The reason this alternative criterion is required is due to the fact that for some effluent gaseous release pathways, the resulting calculated UE threshold following the NEI 99-01 guidance of two times the site specific effluent release limit would result in a UE threshold value greater than the corresponding calculated ALERT threshold based on exceeding 10 mrem TEDE. For the other gaseous release pathways that did not show an incongruent relationship when compared to the ALERT threshold, many showed UE values essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE when applying the guidance in NEI 99-01 of a value set at two times the site specific effluent release limit. The fact that, (1) many of the gaseous release pathway UE values following NEI 99-01 guidance were essentially equivalent to t mrem TEDE, (2) application of art alternative definition set at a value of 1 mrem TEDE results in a more limiting value for those release paths that showed incongruent comparison to the corresponding ALERT threshold, and (3) UE criterion set at a value ten (10) times lower than the ALERT threshold

This single Initiating Condition (IC) definition for gaseous releases at the UE level is being applied to maintain consistency across the Dominion Energy nuclear fleet and to reduce confusion and human error potential if two different (IC) definitions were applied. Due to the fact that there are no ODCM limits on steam safeties or auxiliary feedwater exhausts and the limited ability for these respective radiation monitors to detect low level radioactivity in these steam line configurations, the UE classification thresholds for the steam safeties and auxiliary feedwater exhaust are being labeled N/A (not applicable).

                          -                                                   the EALs, is consistent with other EALs (e.g., EAL HA5.1 which was previously endorsed by the NRC), and ensures that declared emergencies are based upon unplanned events with the potential to pose a radiological risk to the public.

Note 10 has been added to CA6.1 and SA9.1 to help reinforce and succinctly capture the more detailed information from the revised basis section related to when conditions would require the declaration of an Alert. CA6.1 and SA9.1 are consistent with NRC FAQ 2016-002 requiring degraded performance or visible damage to more than one safety system train caused by the specified events. This revised wording is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 CA6 and SA9 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2016-002.

operating mode. The definition for VISIBLE DAMAGE has been revised to reflect the fact that the EALs are based upon SAFETY SYSTEM trains rather than individual components or structures. Note 9 has been added to CA6.1 and MA9.1 as it meets the intent of the EALs, is consistent with other EALs (e.g., EAL HA5.1 which was previously endorsed by the NRC), and ensures that declared emergencies are based upon unplanned events with the potential to pose a radiological risk to the public. Note 10 has been added to CA6.1 and MA9.1 to help reinforce and succinctly capture the more detailed information from the revised basis section related to when conditions would require the declaration of an Alert. CA6.1 and MA9.1 are consistent with NRG FAQ 2016-002 requiring degraded performance or visible damage to more than one safety system train caused by the specified events. This revised wording is a deviation from the NEI 99-01, Revision 6 CAS and SA9 generic wording and bases but is deemed acceptable consistent with endorsed NRC EP FAQ 2016-002.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document provides an explanation and rationale for each Emergency Action Level (EAL) included in the NEI 99-01, Revision 6, EAL Upgrade Project for Millstone Power Station Unit 1 (MPS1 ). It should be used to facilitate review of the MPS1 EALs and provide historical documentation for future reference. Decision-makers responsible for implementation of MP EPI-FAP06, Classification and PARs, may use this document as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation. This information may assist the Director of Station Emergency Operations (DSEO)/Assistant Director Technical Support (ADTS) in making classifications, particularly those involving judgment or multiple events. The basis information may also be useful in training and for explaining event classifications to off-site officials. The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the emergency classification. Since the information in a basis document can affect emergency classification decision-making (e.g., the DSEO/ADTS refers to it during an event), the NRC staff expects that changes to the basis document will be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q). For Dominion Energy sites, a 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3) screening/evaluation will be performed to evaluate changes to this document. Dominion Energy fleet procedure CM-AA-400, "10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 72.48 - Changes, Tests and Experiments," provides a method to determine the impacts to licensing basis docyments when changes are proposed to procedures, including changes to Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs) and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). The 50.59/72.48 applicability review specifically requires that the effect of a proposed procedure change on the Emergency Plan (and associated EALs) be reviewed/assessed. When impacts to the Emergency Plan are identified, a separate review in accordance to 10 CFR 50.54(q) will be performed to determine the acceptability of the proposed procedure change. 2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 Background EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the Millstone Power Station (MPS) Emergency Plan. In 2012, the NRC endorsed NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Methodology for the Development of Emergency Actio'n Levels for Non-Passive Reactors." This methodology includes guidance for development of EAL schemes for a Permanently D~fueled station. This is a station that has generated spent fuel under a 10 CFR 50 license, has permanently ceased operations and stores the spent fuel onsite for an extended period of time. The emergency classification levels applicable to this type of station are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50 and the guidance in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1. NEI 99-01, Revision 6, Recognition Category PD (Permanently Defueled) provides a stand-alone set oflnitiating Conditions (ICs)/EALs for a Permanently Defueled station to consider for use in developing a site-specific emergency classification scheme. For development, it was Page 3 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A assumed that the station had operated under a 10 CFR 50 license and that the licensee has permanently ceased power operations. Further, the licensee intends to store the spent fuel within the plant for some period of time.

  • When in a permanently defueled condition, a licensee receives approval from the NRC for exemption from specific emergency planning requirements. These exemptions reflect the lowered radiological source term and risks associated with spent fuel pool storage relative to reactor at-power operation. Source terms and accident analyses associated with plausible accidents are documented in the station's Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR), as updated. As a result, a licensee with a permanently defueled station must develop a site-specific emergency classification scheme using the NRC-approved exemptions, revised source terms, and revised accident analyses as documented in the station's DSAR.

Recognition Category PD uses the same Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs) as operating reactors; however, the source term and accident analyses typically limit the ECLs to an Unusual Event and Alert. The Unusual Event ICs provide for an increased awareness of abnormal conditions while the Alert ICs are specific to actual or potential impacts to spent fuel. The source terms and release motive forces associated with a permanently defueled station would not be sufficient to require de_claration of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. A permanently defueled station is essentially a spent fu*e1 storage facility with the spent fuel stored in a pool of water that serves as both a cooling medium (i.e., removal of decay heat) and shield from direct radiation. These primary functions of the spent fuel storage pool are the focus of the Recognition Category PD ICs and EALs. Radiological effluent IC and EALs were included to provide a basis for classifying events that cannot be readily classified based on an observable event or plant conditions alone. Appropriate ICs and EALs were included in Recognition Category PD to address a spectrum of events that may affect a spent fuel pool. The Recognition Category PD ICs and EALs reflect the relevant guidance in Section 3.0 of this document (e.g., the importance of avoiding both over-classification and under-classification). MPS1 has developed an emergency classification scheme using the NRG-approved exemptions and the source terms and accident analyses specific to the MPS1. While security-related events are also considered in the generic guidance, classification of security-related events impacting MPS1 are classified under the operating units (Millstone Power Station Units 2 and 3) security EALs. 2.2 EAL Organization and Technical Bases Information EAL technical bases are provided. in Attachment 1, grouped by EAL. A summary is given at the beginning of each group, which provides a brief description of the Category. For each EAL, the following information is provided: EAL Category designator and Title See Table 2.2-1 below for the Category designators and associated titles that are used at MPS1. EAL Subcategory designator and Title See Table 2.2-1 below for the Subcategory designators and associated titles that are used at MPS1. Page 4 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A 3.0 GUIDANCE ON MAKING EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS 3.1 General Considerations When making an emergency classification, the DSEO/ADTS must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition (IC). This includes the EAL plus any associated Notes and the informing basis information. 3.1.1 Classification Timeliness NRC regulations require the licensee to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The NRC staff has provided guidance on implementing this requirement in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants" (ref. 4.1. 7). 3.1.2 Valid Indications All emergency classification assessments shall be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. A valid indication, report, or condition, is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there is no doubt regarding the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy. An indication, report, or condition is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt is removed related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. 3.1.3 IMMINENT Conditions For ICs and EALs that have a stipulated time duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.), the DSEO/ADTS should not wait until the applicable time has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition has exceeded, or will likely exceed, the applicable time. If an ongoing radiological release is detected and the release start time is unknown, it should be assumed that the release duration specified in the IC/EAL has been exceeded, absent data to the contrary. 3.1.4 Planned vs. Unplanned Events A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that: 1) the activity proceeds as planned, and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 (ref. 4.1.4). 3.1.5 Classification Based on Analysis Page 7 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A The assessment of some EALs is based on the results* of analyses that are necessary to ascertain whether a specific EAL threshold has been exceeded (e.g., dose assessments, chemistry sampling, etc.). For these EALs, the wording of the EAL or associated basis discussion will identify the necessary analysis. In these cases, the 15-minute declaration period starts with the availability of the analysis results that show the threshold to be exceeded (i.e., this is the time that the EAL information is first available). The NRC expects licensees to establish the capability to initiate and complete EAL-related analyses within a reasonable period of time (e.g., maintain the necessary expertise on-shift). 3.1.6 DSEO/ADTS Judgment While the EALs have been developed to address a full spectrum of possible events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The NEI 99-01 EAL scheme provides the DSEO/ADTS with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment using EALs that are consistent with the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) definitions (refer to Category H). The DSEO/ADTS will need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular ECL definition. 3.2 Classification Methodology To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e., the relevant plant indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evaluation of an EAL must be consistent with the related Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, the associated IC is likewise. met, the emergency classification process "clock" starts, and the ECL must be declared in accordance with plant procedures no later than 15 minutes after the process "clock" started. When assessing an EAL that specifies a time duration for the potentially classifiable condition, the "clock" for the EAL time duration runs concurrently with the emergency classification process "clock." For a full discussion of this timing requirement, refer to NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 (ref. 4.1.7). 3.2.1 Classification of Multiple Events and Conditions When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the user will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable ECL identified during this review is declared. There is no "additive" effect from multiple EALs meeting the same ECL. Related guidanGe concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-02, Clarification of NRC Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events (ref. 4.1.2). 3.2.2 Classification of IMMINENT Conditions Although EALs provide specific thresholds, the DSEO/ADTS must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding an EAL within a relatively short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT). If, in the judgment of the DSEO/ADTS, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should be made as if the EAL has been met. While applicable to all emergency classification levels, this approach is particularly Page 8 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bal\>es Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A important at the higher emergency classification levels since it provides additional time for implementation of protective measures. 32.3 Emergency Classification Level Upgrading and Downgrading Afl ECL may be downgraded when the event or condition that meets the highest IC and EAL no longer exists, and other site-specific downgrading requirements are met. If downgrading the ECL is deemed appropriate, the new ECL would then be based on a lower applicable IC(s) and EAL(s). The ECL may also simply be terminated. As noted above, guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in RIS 2007-02 (ref. 4.1.2). 3.2.4 Classification of Short-Lived Events Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and, thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL, the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its continued presence at the time of declaration. Examples of such events include an earthquake or security event. 3.2.5 Classification of Transient Conditions Some radiological effluent based EALs employ time-based criteria. These criteria will require that the IC/EAL conditions be present for a defined period of time b~fore an emergency declaration is warranted. In cases where no time-based criterion is specified, it is recognized that some transient conditions may cause an EAL to be met for a brief period of time (e.g., a few seconds to a few minutes). The following guidance should be applied to the classification of these conditions. EAL momentarily met during expected plant response - In instances in which an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, an emergency declaration is not warranted provided that associated systems and components are operating as expected, and operator actions are performed in accordance with procedures. EAL momentarily met but the condition is corrected prior to an emergency declaration - If an operator takes prompt manual action to address a condition, and the action is successful in correcting the condition prior to the emergency declaration, then the applicable EAL is not considered met and the associated emergency declaration is not required. It is important to stress that the 15-minute emergency classification assessment period (process clock) is not a "grace period" during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event. Emergency classification assessments must be deliberate and timely, with no undue delays. The provision discussed above addresses only those rapidly evolving situations when an operator is able to take a successful corrective action prior to the DSEO/ADTS completing the review and steps necessary to make the emergency declaration. This provision is included to ensure that any public protective actions resulting from the emergency classification are truly warranted by the plant conditions. Page 9 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A 3.2.6 After-the-Fact Discovery of an Emergency Event or Condition In some cases, an EAL may be met but the emergency classification was not made at the time of the event or condition. This situation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL, but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no longer exists at the time of discovery. This may be due to the event or condition not being recognized at the time or an error that was made in the emergency classification process. In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted; however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022 (ref. 4.1.3) is applicable. Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50. 72 (ref. 4.1.4) within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies in accordance with the agreed upon arrangements. 3.2.7 Retraction of an Emergency Declaration Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022 (ref. 4.1.3).

These are defined terms that have specific meanings as used in this document. The definitions of these terms are provided below. ALERT Events are in progress, oi- have occurred, which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY The barrier(s) behveen spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE The procedurally defined conditions or actions taken to secure containment (Primary or Secondary) and associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions. EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL) A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an INITIATING CONDITION that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL (ECL) One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are:

  • Notification of Unusual Event (-NGUE)
  • Alert
  • Site Area Emergency (SAE)
  • General Emergency (GE)

EXPLOSION A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FAULTED Page 12 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A The term applied to a steam generator that has a steam leak on the secondary side of sufficient size to cause an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator to become completely depressurized. FIRE Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER THRESHOLD /\ pre determined, site specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a fission product b';lrrier. FLOODING A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area. HOSTAGE /\ person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. HOSTILE ACTION An act toward a NPP MPS 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPPMPS. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA). HOSTILE FORCE One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable vveapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction. IMMINENT The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions. IMPEDE(D) Personnel access to a room or area is hindered to an extent that extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected room/area (e.g., requiring use of protective equipment, such as SCBAs, that is not routinely employed). INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) /\ complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated 1.vith spent fuel storage. Page 13 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A INITIATING CONDITION (IC) An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the four emergency classification levels by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences. NORMAL LEVELS As applied to radiological IC/EALs, the highest reading in the past twenty-four hours excluding the current peak value. OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (OCA) The area within the SITE BOUNDARY including the PROTECTED AREA (ref. 4.1.8). PROJECTILE /\n object directed tovvard a Nuclear Power Plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. PROTECTED AREA The area within the Millstone Power Station security fence (ref. 4.1.8). RUPTURED I The condition of a steam generator in which primary to secondary leakage is of sufficient magnitude to require a safety injection. SAFETY SYSTEM A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFR50.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. SECURITY CONDITION /\ny security event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant./\ Security Condition does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION. SITE BOUNDARY That line beyond which the land is not owned, leased or otherwise controlled by MPS. Also see OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (ref. 4.1.8). UNISOLABLE /\n open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. Page 14 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 Enclosure 3, Attachment 2A UNPLANNED A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. UNUSUAL EVENT Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. VALID An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. VISIBLE DAMAGE Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Page 15 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 EAL Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2A Category R - Abnormal Rad Levels / Rad Effluent Direct indication of elevated radiological effluents or area radiation levels are appropriate symptoms for emergency classification. Events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

1. Radiological Effluent Direct indication of effluent radiation monitoring systems provides a rapid assessment mechanism to determine releases in excess of classifiable limits. Projected offsite doses, actual offsite field measurements or measured release rates via sampling indicate doses or dose rates above classifiable limits.
2. Area Radiation Levels Sustained general area radiation levels which may preclude access* to areas needed to maintain spent fuel integrity also warrant emergency classification.

  • Unusual Event Reading on RM-SFPl-02 Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pool Island Monitor > 1 .1 E-2 µCi/cc for
~60 min. (Notes 1, 2, 3)

Note 1: The DSEO/ADTS should declare the event promptly upon determining that the time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. Note 2: If an ongoing release is detected and the release start time is unknown, assume that the release duration has exceeded the specified time limit. Note 3: If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer VALID for classification purposes. Definition(s): VALID -An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. Basis: This -lG-EAL addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g., an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored, including those for which a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared. Nuclear power plants incorporate design fec;3tures intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these features and/or controls. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The incl.usion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL. Page 21 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 EAL Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2A EAL #1 This EAL addresses radioactivity releases that cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed 2 times the station REMODCM limit for 60 minutes or longer. established by a radioactivity discharge permit. This EAL 'Nill typically be associated with planned batch releases from non continuous release pathvvays (e.g., radwaste, waste gas)addresses a continuous gaseous monitored pathway (ref. 1, 2). The basis for the MPS 1* UE value corresponds to the unplanned release of gaseous radioactivity greater than two times the site-specific effluent release limit. This UE gaseous release criterion is consistent with NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 guidance but different from the alternative criterion used for Dominion Energy's other operating nuclear facilities. The operating facilities use a dose-based criterion based on exceeding 1 mrem TEDE for 60 minutes or longer. For a shutdown nuclear facility like MPS 1 which has essentially only Kr-85 as a source term, dose-based criteria would be inappropriate. This is due to fact that the damage to fuel to produce sufficient source to create 1 mrem TEDE would be inconsistent with the Unusual Event definition and basis (represents a loss of plant control and degradation in the level of safety). To create a release that would result in 1 mrem TEDE, nearly 600 irradiated fuel assemblies decayed for over 22 years would need to fail. Setting the UE threshold based on a release greater than two times the site-specific release limit would correlate to the failure of approximately 1.5 irradiated fuel assemblies. This number of fuel assemblies failures would appropriately represent the Unusual Event definition and basis (ref. 2). E/\L #2 This EAL addresses uncontrolled gaseous or liquid releases that are detected by sample analyses or environmental surveys, particularly on unmonitored pathways (e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river v,ater systems, etc.).

It includes both monitored and un-monitored releases. Releases of this magnitude represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a radiological release that significantly exceeds regulatory limits (e.g., a significant uncontrolled release).

  • SPENT FUEL POOL LEVEL LOW alarm PLC-AL 101
  • SPENT FUEL POOL LEVEL LOW-LOW alarm PLC-AL 100
  • Report of dropping level in SFP

  • RM-SFPl-01 Channel 2 Refuel Floor East
  • RM-SFPl-01 Channel 3 Refuel Floor West (High Range)

Definition(s): UNPLANNED - A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This .JG-EAL addresses elevated plant radiation levels caused by a decrease in water level above irradiated (spent) fuel or other UNPLANNED events. The increased radiation levels are indicative of a minor loss in the ability to control radiation levels within the plant or radioactive materials. Either condition is a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. A water level decrease will be primarily determined by indications from available level instrumentation. Other sources of level indications may include reports from plant personnel or video camera observations (if available). A significant drop in the water level may also cause an increase in the radiation levels of adjacent areas that can be detected by monitors in those locations. The effects of planned evolutions should be considered. Note that this EAL #4 is applicable only in cases where the elevated reading is due to an UNPLANNED water level drop. E/\L #2 excludes radiation level increases that result from planned activities such as use of radiographic sources and movement of radioactive 1Naste materials. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC PD /V\1 or PD /\/\2RA2. Page 34 of 44

  • Definition(s):

IMPEDE(D) - Personnel access'to a room or area is hindered to an extent that extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected room/area (e.g., requiring use of protective equipment, such as SCBAs, that is not routinely employed). NORMAL LEVELS - As applied to radiological IC/EALs, the highest reading in the past twenty-four hours excluding the current peak value.

The cause of the parameter change. or event may be known or unknown. Basis: This G-EAL addresses increased radiation levels that impede necessary access to *areas containing equipment that must be operated manually or that requires local monitoring, in order to *maintain systems needed to maintain spent fuel integrity. As used here, 'IMPEDE' includes hindering or interfering, provided that the interference or delay is sufficient to significantly threaten necessary plant access. It is this impaired access that results in the actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

1. Hazardous Events Affecting Plant Safety Natural events such as earthquakes have potential to cause plant structure or equipment damage of sufficient magnitude to threaten personnel or spent fuel storage safety.

2 DSEO/ADTS Judgment The EALs defined in other categories specify the predetermined symptoms or events that are indicative of emergency or potential emergency conditions and thus warrant classification .. While these EALs have been developed to address the full spectrum of possible emergency conditions which may warrant classification and subsequent implementation of the Emergency Plan, a provision for classification of emergencies based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The EALs of this category provide the DSEO/ADTS the latitude to classify emergency conditions consistent with the established classification criteria based upon DSEO/ADTS judgment. Security events affecting MPS1 are classified per either the MPS2 or MPS3 EALs. Page 38 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 EAL Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2A Category: H - Hazards Subcategory: 1 - Hazardous Event Affecting Safety Systems Initiating Condition: Hazardous event affecting SAFETY SYSTEM equipment necessary for spent fuel cooling EAL: HU1.1 Unusual Event The occurrence of any Table H-1 hazardous event AND Event damage (excluding loss of offsite AC power) has caused indications of degraded performance of EITHER:

  • Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System
  • Decay Heat Removal System
                      !Table H-1 Hazardous Events
  • Seismic event (earthquake)
  • Internal or external FLOODING event
  • High winds or tornado strike
  • FIRE (refer to Unit 2/3 EALs for a fire within the Protected Area)
  • EXPLOSION
  • Other events with similar hazard characteristics as determined by the Shift Manager Definition(s):

EXPLOSION - A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. FLOODING - A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area. SAFETY SYSTEM - A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10 CFR 50.2): Page 39 of 44

Millstone Power Station Unit 1 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket No. 50-245 EAL Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2A Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. Basis: This EAL addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for spent fuel cooling. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an UNUSUAL EVENT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance. Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM. A loss of offsite AC power is excluded as the loss of power does not result in actual damage to the specified SAFETY SYSTEM. If the hazardous event only resulted in visible damage, with no indications of degraded performance of either SAFETY SYSTEM, then this emergency classification is not warranted . .This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to at least one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for spent fuel cooling. The damage must be of sufficient magnitude that the system(s) train cannot, or potentially cannot, perform its design function. This condition reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of the fuel clad barrier, and therefore represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. For EAL 1.c, the first bullet addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it 111ill be readily available. For EAL 1.c, the second bullet addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation or readily apparent through indications alone. Operators 1.vill make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. Escalation of the emergency classification level could, depending upon the event, be based on any of the Alert ICs; PG-AA 1, P-G-AA2, PD HA1 or PD HA3HA2. Reference(s):

The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. ' Basis: This -lG--EAL addresses a condition that is a precursor to a more serious event and represents a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. If uncorrected, boiling in the pool will occur, and result in a loss of pool level and increased radiation levels; Annunciator alarm PLC-AL 106, "SPENT FUEL POOL BULK lEMPERATURE HIGH," alarms at 125°F (ref. 1).

  • The maximum allowed bulk SFP water temperature is 140°F. The requirement to *maintain the spent fuel pool bulk water temperature < 140°F ensures that high water temperature will not degrade the resin in the spent fuel pool demineralizer, the fuel pool structure, pool liner, fuel racks, or external cooling system (ref. 3 ).

Spent Fuel Pool temperature is normally maintained well below this point thus allowing time to correct the cooling system malfunction prior to classification. With a complete loss of external cooling and a closed airspace above the pool, it would take approximately 7.5 days to rise to 212°F if starting from the TRM upper temperature limit of 140°F (ref. 4 ). Escalation of the emergency classification level. would be via IC PD /V\1 or PD /\/\2RA2. Reference(s):

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document provides an explanation and rationale for each Emergency Action Level (EAL) included in the NEI 99-01, Revision 6, EAL Upgrade Project for Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS2). It should be used to facilitate review of the MPS2 EALs and provide historical documentation for future reference. Decision-makers responsible for implementation of MP EPI-FAP06, Classification and PARs, may use this document as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation. This information may assist the Director of Station Emergency Operations/Assistant Director Technical Support (DSEO/ADTS) in making classifications, particularly those involving judgment or multiple events. The basis information may also be useful in training and for explaining event classifications to off-site officials. The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recpgnizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the emergency classification. Since the information in a basis document can affect emergency classification decision-making (e.g., the DSEO/ADTS refers to it during an event), the NRC staff expects that changes to the basis documeht will be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q). For Dominion Energy sites, a 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3) screening/evaluation will be performed to evaluate changes to this document. Dominion Energy fleet procedure CM-M-400, "10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 72.48 - Changes, Tests and Experiments" provides a method to determine the impacts to licensing basis documents when changes are proposed to procedures, including changes to Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs) and Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). The 50.59/72.48 applicability review specifically requires that the effect of a proposed procedure change on the Emergency Plan (and associated EALs) be reviewed/assessed. When impacts to the Emergency Plan are identified, a separate review in accordance to 10 CFR 50.54(q) will be performed to determine the acceptability of the p~opo_sed procedure change. 2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 Background EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the Millstone Power Station (MPS) Emergency Plan. In 1992, the NRC endorsed NUMARC/NESP-007, "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" as an alternative guidance to the original Standard Review Plan and NUREG-0654 EAL schemes. NEI 99-01 (NUMARC/NESP-007), Revisions 4 and 5 were subsequently issued for industry implementation. Enhancements over earlier revisions included:

  ,*   Consolidating the system malfunction initiating conditions and example emergency action levels which address conditions that may be postulated to occur during plant shutdown conditions.

  • Initiating conditions and example emergency action levels that fully address conditions that may be postulated to occur at permanently Defueled Stations and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSls).
  • Simplifying the fission product barrier EAL threshold for a Site Area Emergency.

Subsequently, Revision 6 of NEI 99-01 has been issued which incorporates resolutions to numerous implementation issues including the NRG EAL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). Using NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," November 2012 (ref. 4.1.1 ), MPS2 conducted* an EAL implementation upgrade project that produced the EALs discussed herein. 2.2 Fission Product Barriers Fission product barrier thresholds represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers, any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment. Many of the EALs derived from the NEI methodology are fission product barrier threshold based. That is, the conditions that define the EALs are based upon thresholds that represent the loss or potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. "Loss" and . "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. A "Loss" threshold means the. barrier no lo'nger assures containment of radioactive materials. A "Potential Loss" thres~old implies a greater probability of barrier loss. and reduced certainty of maintaining the barrier. The primary fission product barriers are: A. Fuel Clad Barrier (FC): The Fuel Clad Barrier consists of the cladding material that contains the fuel pellets. B. Reactor Coolant System Barrier (RCS): The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and Jelief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves. C. Containment Barrier (CTMT): The Containment Barrier includes the containment building and connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam, feedwater, ana blowdown line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve. Containment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) from an Alert to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. 2.3 Fission Product Barrier Classification Criteria The following criteria are the bases for event classification related to fission product barrier loss or potential loss: Page 4 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-4 7 Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Alert: Any loss or any potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS Barrier Site Area Emergency: Loss or potential loss of any two barriers General Emergency: Loss of any two barriers and loss or potential loss of the third barrier 2.4 EAL Organization The MPS2 EAL scheme includes the following features:

  • Division of the EAL set into three broad groups:

o EALs applicable under any plant operational modes - This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered. o EALs applicable only under hot operational modes - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Hot Standby, Startup, or Power Operation mode. o EALs applicable only under cold operating modes - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling or Defueled mode. The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of hot condition EALs when the plant is in a cold condition and avoid review of cold condition EALs when the plant is in a hot condition. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user tor a given plant condition, reduces*EAL-user reading burden and, thereby, speeds identification of the EAL that applies to the emergency.

  • Within each group, assignment of EALs to categories and subcategories:

Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user. The MPS2 EAL categories are aligned to and represent the NEI 99-01 "Recognition Categories." Subcategories are used in the MPS2 scheme as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds. The MPS2 EAL categories and subcategories are listed below. The EALs are pre-determined, site-specific, observable thresholds for determining whether an Initiating Condition (IC) has occurred and that an EAL threshold was met or exceeded. Thus failure to evaluate the IC and EAL together could result in an incorrect declaration. The primary tool for determining the emergency classification level is the EAL Classification Matrix. The user' of the EAL Classification Matrix may (but is not required to) consult the EAL technical bases in order to obtain additional information concerning the EALs under classification consideration. The user should consult Section 3.0 and Attachment 1 of this document for such information. Page 5 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-47 Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B 3.0 GUIDANCE ON MAKING EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS 3.1 General Considerations When making an emergency classification, the DSEO/ADTS must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition (IC). This includes the EAL plus any associated Operational Mode Applicability, Notes, and the informing basis information. In the Category F matrices, EALs are based on loss or potential loss of Fission Product Barrier thresholds. 3.1.1 Classification Timeliness NRC regulations require the licensee to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The NRC staff has provided guidance on implementing this requirement in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants" (ref. 4.1.8). 3.1.2 Valid Indications All emergency classification assessments shall be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. A valid indication, report, or condition, is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there is no doubt regarding the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy. An indication, report, or condition is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. 3.1.3 Imminent Conditions For ICs and EALs that have *a stipulated time duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.), the DSEO/ADTS should. not wait until the applicable time has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition has exceeded, orwill likely exceed, the applicable time. If an ongoing radiological release is detected and the release start time is unknown, it should be assumed that the release duration specified in the IC/EAL has been* exceeded, absent data to the contrary. 3.1.4 Planned vs. Unplanned Events A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that: 1) the activity proceeds as planned, and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or Page 9 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-47 Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10CFR 50.72 (ref. 4.1.4). 3.1.5 Classification Based on Analysis The assessment of some EALs is based on the results of analyses that are necessary to ascertain whether a specific EAL threshold has been exceeded (e.g., dose assessments, chemistry sampling, RCS leak rate calculation, etc.). For these EALs, the wording of the EAL or associated basis discussion will identify the necessary analysis. In these cases, the 15-minute declaration period starts with the availability of the analysis results that show the threshold to be exceeded (i.e., this is the time that the EAL information is first available). The NRG expects licensees to establish the capability to initiate and complete EAL-related analyses within a reasonable period of time (e.g., maintain the necessary expertise on-shift). 3.1.6 DSEO/ADTS Judgment While the EALs have been developed to address a full spectrum of possible events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The NEI 99-01 EAL scheme provides the DSEO/ADTS with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment using EALs that are consistent with the Emergency Classification Level (EGL) definitions (refer to Category H). The DSEO/ADTS will need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular EGL definition. A similar provision is incorporated in the Fission Product Barrier Tables; judgment may be used to determine the status of a fission product barrier. 3.2 Classification Methodology To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e., the relevant plant indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evaluation of an EAL must be consistent with the related Operating Mode Applicability and Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, the associated IC is likewise met, the emergency classification process "clock" starts, and the EGL must be declared in accordance with plant procedures no later than 15 minutes after the process "clock" started. When assessing an EAL that specifies a time duration for the potentially classifiable condition, the "clock" for the EAL time duration runs concurrently with the emergency classification process "clock." For a full discussion of this timing requirement, refer to NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 (ref. 4.1.8). 3.2.1 Classification of Multiple Events and Conditions When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the user will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable EGL identified during this review is declared. For 1 example:

  • If an Alert EAL and a Site Area Emergency EAL are met, whether at one unit or at two units, a Site Area Emergency should be declared.

There is no "additive" effect from multiple EALs meeting the same EGL. For example:

  • If two Alert EALs are met, whether at one unit or at two units, an Alert should be declared.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-47 Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Related guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-02, Clarification of NRG Guidance for

  • Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events (ref. 4.1.2).

3.2.2 Consideration of Mode Changes During Classification The mode in effect at the time that an event or condition occurred, and prior to any plant or operator response, is the mode that determines whether or not an IC is applicable. If an event or condition occurs, and results in a mode change before the emergency is declared, the emergency classification level is still based on the mode that existed at the time that the event or condition was initiated (and not when it was declared). On6e a different mode is reached, any new event or condition, not related to the original event or condition, requiring emergency classification should be evaluated against the ICs and EALs applicable to the operating mode at the time of the new event or condition. For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that are applicable in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling modes, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during the subsequent plant response. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that .initiate in the Hot Shutdown mode or higher. 3.2.3 Classification of Imminent Conditions Although EALs provide specific thresholds, the DSEO/ADTS must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding an EAL within a relatively short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT). If, in the judgment of the DSEO/ADTS, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should be made as if the EAL has been met. While applicable to all emergency classification levels, this approach is particularly important at the higher emergency classification levels since it provides additional time for implementation of protective measures. 3.2.4 Emergency Classification Level Upgrading and Downgrading An ECL may be downgraded when the event or condition that meets the highest IC and EAL no longer exists, and other site-specific downgrading requirements are met. If downgrading the ECL is deemed appropriate, the new ECL would then be based on a lower applicable IC(s) and EAL(s). The ECL may also simply be terminated. As noted above, guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in RIS 2007-02 (ref. 4.1.2). 3.2.5 Classification of Short-Lived Events Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety ot' specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and, thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL, the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its continued presence at the time of declaration. Examples of such events include an earthquake or a failure of the reactor protection system to automatically scram the reactor followed by a successful manual scram. 3.2.6 Classification of Transient Conditions Many of the ICs and/or EALs employ time-based criteria. These criteria will require that the IC/EAL conditions be present for a defined period of time before an emergency declaration is Page 11 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-47 Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B warranted. In cases where no time-based criterion is specified, it is recognized that some transient conditions may cause an EAL to be met for a brief period of time (e.g., a few seconds to a few minutes). The following guidance should be applied to-the classification of these conditions. EAL momentarily met during expected plant response - In instances in which an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, an emergency declaration is not warranted provided that associated systems and components are operating as expected, and operator actions are performed in accordance with procedures. EAL momentarily met but the condition is corrected prior to an emergency declaration - If an operator takes prompt manual action to address a condition, and the action is successful in correcting the condition prior to the emergency declaration, then the applicable EAL is not considered met and the associated emergency declaration is not required. For illustrative purposes, consider the following example: An ATWS occurs and the high pressure ECCS systems fail to automatically start. The plant enters an inadequate core cooling condition (a potential loss of both the Fuel Clad and RCS Barriers). If an operator manually starts a high pressure ECCS system in accordance with an EOP step and clears the inadequate core cooling condition prior to an emergency declaration, then the classification should be based on the ATWS only. It is important to stress that the 15-minute emergency classification .assessment period (process clock) is not a "grace period" during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event. Emergency classification assessments must be deliberate and timely, with no undue delays. The provision discussed above addresses only those rapidly evolving situations when an operator is able to take a successful corrective action prior to the DSEO/ADTS completing the review and steps necessary to make the emergency declaration. This provision is included to ensure that any public protective actions resulting from the emergency classification are truly warranted by the plant conditions. 3.2.7 After-the-Fact Discovery of an Emergency Event or Condition In some cases, an EAL may be met but the emergency classification was not made at the time of the event or condition. This situation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL, but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no longer exists at the time of discovery. This may be due to the event or condition . not being recognized at the time or an error that was made in the emergency classification process. In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted; however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022 (ref. 4.1.3) is applicable. Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10CFR 50.72 (ref. 4.1.4) within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies in accordance with the agreed upon arrangements. 3.2.8 Retraction of an Emergency Declaration Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022 (ref. 4.1.3).

These are defined terms that have specific meanings as used in this document. The definitions of these terms are provided below. ALERT Events are in progress, or have occurred, which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. Confinement Boundary is defined as the NUHOMS Dry Shielding Canister (DSC) (ref. 4.1.10). CONTAINMENT CLOSURE The procedurally defined conditions or actions taken to secure containment (Primary or Secondary) and associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions. Containment Closure is established when all of the following conditions exist (ref. 4.1.13):

  • The equipment door is closed and held in place by a minimum of four bolts or the outage equipment door is installed.
  • A minimum of one door in each airlock is closed.
  • Each penetration providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere is closed by an isolation valve, blind flange, manual valve, or special device.

EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL) A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an INITIATING CONDITION that, when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL (ECL) One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are:

  • Notification of Unusual Event (NGUE)
  • Alert
  • Site Area Emergency (SAE)
  • General Emergency (GE)

EXPLOSION Page 14 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-47 Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FAULTED The term applied to a steam generator that has a steam leak on the secondary side of sufficient size to cause an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator to become completely depressurized. FIRE Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER THRESHOLD A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a -fission product barrier. FLOODING A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area. GENERAL EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. HOSTAGE A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station. HOSTILE ACTION An act toward a NPP MPS 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the NPPMPS. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA). HOSTILE FORCE One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.

RUPTURED The condition of a steam generator in which primary-to-secondary leakage is of sufficient magnitude to require a safety injection. SAFETY SYSTEM A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the EGGS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFR50.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; Page 16 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-366; 72-47 Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. SECURITY CONDITION Any security event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A Security Condition does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION. SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. SITE BOUNDARY That line beyond which the land is not owned, leased or otherwise controlled by MPS. Also see OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (ref. 4.1.7) UNISOLABLE An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. UNPLANNED A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. UNUSUAL EVENT Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. VALID An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. VISIBLE DAMAGE Damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected SAFETY SYSTEM train. Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure. Page 17 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosur~ 3; Attachment 2B Category R - Abnormal Rad Release / Rad Effluent EAL Group: ANY (EALs in this category are applicable to any plant condition, hot or cold.) Many EALs are based on actual or potential degradation of fission product barriers because of the elevated potential for offsite radioactivity release. Degradation of fission product barriers though is not always apparent via non-radiological symptoms. Therefore, direct indication of elevated radiological effluents or area radiation levels are appropriate symptoms for emergency classification. At lower levels, abnormal radioactivity releases may be indicative of a failure of containment systems or precursors to more significant releases. At higher release rates, offsite radiological conditions may result which require offsite protective actions. Elevated area radiation levels in plant may also be indicative of the failure of containment systems or preclude access to plant vital equipment necessary to ensure plant safety. Events of this category pertain to1he following subcategories:

1. Radiological Effluent Direct indication of effluent radiation monitoring systems provides a. rapid assessment mechanism to determine releases in excess of classifiable limits. Projected offsite doses, actual offsite field measurements or measured release rates via sampling indicate doses or dose rates above classifiable limits.
2. Irradiated Fuel Events Conditions indicative of a loss of adequate shielding or damage to irradiated fuel may preclude access to vital plant areas or result in radiological releases that warrant emergency classification.
3. Area Radiation Levels Sustained general area radiation levels which may preclude access to areas required to safely operate and shutdown the plant also warrant emergen.cy classification.

This Unusual Event gaseous release criterion is being used consistently across all operating nuclear units at Dominion Energy nuclear stations at Millstone, North Anna and Surry. The reason this alternative criterion is required is due to the fact that for some effluent gaseous release pathways, the resulting calculated Unusual Event threshold following the NEI 99-01 guidance of two times the site-specific effluent release limit would result in a Unusual Event threshold value greater than the corresponding calculated ALERT threshold based on exceeding 10 mrem TEDE. For the other gaseous release pathways that did not show an incongruent relationship when compared to the ALERT threshold, many showed Unusual Event values essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE when applying the guidance in NEI 99-01 of a value set at two times the site-specific effluent release limit. The fact that. {1) many of the gaseous release pathway Unusual Event values following NEI 99-01 guidance were essentially equivalent to 1 mrem TEDE. (2) application of an alternative definition set at a value of 1 mrem TEDE results in a more limiting value for those release paths that showed incongruent comparison to the corresponding ALERT threshold, and (3) Unusual Event criterion set at a value ten (10) times lower than the ALERT threshold provides a logical and consistent escalation between each classification level. provides justification for the Unusual Event criterion of 1 mrem TEDE. This single Initiating Condition {IC) definition for gaseous releases at the Unusual Event level is being applied to maintain consistency across the Dominion Energy nuclear fleet and to reduce confusion and human Page 34 of 259

Classification thresholds within Table R-1 were generated using the MIDAS dose assessment code. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent meteorological data and expected release point parameters. An assumed one-hour decay since shutdown and a one-hour release duration are applied. Mitigating reduction mechanisms (e.g., decay, sprays, filters) input into MIDAS for each accident type determined the radiological release source term consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-1228. Due to the fact that there are no REMODCM limits on main steam line exhausts and the limited ability for these respective radiation monitors to detect low level activity in these steam line configurations, the UE classification threshold for the steam line exhaust is being labeled N/A (not applicable).

Note 2: If an ongoing release is detected and the release start time is unknown, assume that the release duration has exceeded the specified time limit. Mode Applicability: All Definition(s): None Basis: This IC addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g., an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored, including those for v,hich a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared. Nuclear power plants incorporate design features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative control~ established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these features and/or controls. Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flmN past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes. Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL. Page 36 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Calculation RR 18-02 (ref. 2) demonstrates how a release rate limit based on 2 x the allocated REMODCM limit will produce essentially 1 mrem TEDE assuming most prevalent meteorological dispersion. Most prevalent meteorology represents conditions that would most likely to exist (based on most prevalent stability class and average wind speed within that stability class). Dispersion based on most prevalent meteorology differs from that assumed in the REMODCM which uses annual average meteorology. Dispersion based on actual meteorological conditions at the time of the emergency (most prevalent) can be 10 - 20 times higher than the annual average dispersion prescribed for use in an ODCM. E/\L #1 This E/\L addresses normally occurring continuous radioactivity releases from monitored gaseous or liquid effluent pathways. E/\L #2 This E/\L addresses radioactivity releases that cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed 2 times the limit established by a radioactivity discharge permit. This E/\L will typically be associated v,ith planned batch releases from non continuous release pathways (e.g., radwaste, 'Nasta gas). E/\L #3 This EAL addresses uncontrolled gaseous or liquid releases that are detected by sample analyses or environmental surveys, particularly on unmonitored pathways (e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.).

Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions. The TEDE dose is set at the EPA PAG of 1,000 mrem TEDEwhile the 5,000 mrem thyroid COE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EP/\ P/\G for TEDE and thyroid GG. The thyroid COE component has been eliminated from this EAL as allowed by EPA-400 (ref. 2) and consistent with direction provided by the States of Connecticut and New York. Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path, then the effluent monitor reading is no longer VALID for classification purposes. Classification thresholds within Table R-1 were generated using the MIDAS dose assessment code. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent meteorological data and expected release point parameters. An assumed one-hour decay since shutdown and a one-hour release duration are applied. Mitigating reduction mechanisms (e.g., decay, sprays, filters) input into MIDAS for each accident type determined the radiological release source term consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-1228. Since dose assessment is based on actual meteorology whereas the monitor reading EALs are not, the results from these assessments may indicate that the classification is not warranted, or may indicate that a higher classification is warranted. For this reason, emergency implementing procedures call for the timely performance of dose assessments using actual meteorology and release information. If the results of these dose assessments are available when the classification is made (e.g., initiated at a lower classification level), the dose assessment results override the monitor readings listed in Table R-1.

All Definition(s): UNPLANNED-. A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. REFUELING PATHWAY- Refueling pool (RFP), fuel transfer canal, and spent fuel pool (SFP), but not including the reactor vessel, comprise the refueling pathway. Basis: This IC addresses a decrease in water level above irradiated fuel sufficient to cause elevated radiation levels. This condition could be a precursor to a more serious event and is also indicative of a minor loss in the ability to control radiation levels within the plant. It is therefore a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. A water level decrease will be primarily determined by indications from ava_ilable level instrumentation. Other sources of level indications may include reports from plant personnel (e.g., from a refueling crew) or video camera observations (if available). A significant drop in the water level may also cause a loss of SFP Cooling suction flow and an increase in the radiation levels of adjacent areas that can be detected by monitors in those *1ocations.

Increasing radiation indications on these monitors in the absence of indications of decreasing REFUELING , PATHWAY level are not classifiable under this EAL. The effects of planned evolutions should be considered. For example, a refueling bridge area radiation monitor reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as lifting of the reactor vessel head or movement of a fuel assembly. Note that this EAL is applicable only in cases where the elevated reading is due to an unplanned loss of water level. A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling modes.

This condition will lead to fuel damage and a radiological release to the environment. It is recognized that this .JG-EAL would likely not be met until well after another General Emergency .JG-EAL was met; however, it is inc,luded to provide classification diversity. Post-Fukushima order EA-12-051 required the installation of reliable SFP level indication (Ll-7013 and Ll-7014) capable of identifying normal level (Level 1 - EL 36 ft. 3 in.), SFP level 10 ft. above the top of the fuel racks (Level 2 - EL 23 ft. 3 in.) and SFP level at 1 ft. above the top of the fuel racks (Level 3 - EL 14 ft. 3 in.) (ref. 1, 2). Primary level indicator Ll-7013 and display cabinet C547 are located on the 25 ft. 6 in. elevation of the Auxiliary Building in the Cable Vault Room near column lines K.6-15.9. The backup channel level indicator Ll-7014 and display cabinet C548 are located on the 36 ft. 6 in. elevation of the Auxiliary Building in the East 480V Switchgear Room near column line F.8-15.9.

Category C EALs are directly associated with cold shutdown or refueling system safety functions. Given the variability of plant configurations (e.g., systems out-of-service for maintenance, containment open, reduced AC power redundancy, time since shutdown) during these periods, the consequences of any given initiating event can vary greatly. For example, a loss of decay heat removal capability that occurs at the end of an extended, outage has Jess significance than a similar loss occurring during the first week after shutdown. Compounding these events is the* likelihood that instrumentation necessary for assessment may also be inoperable. The cold shutdown and refueling system malfunction EALs are based on performance capability to the extent possible with consideration given to RCS integrity, CONTAINMENT CLOSURE, and fuel clad integrity for the applicable operating modes (5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling, DEF - Defueled). The events of this category pertain .to the following subcategories:

1. RCS Level RCS water level is directly related to the status of adequate core cooling and, therefore, fuel clad integrity.
2. Loss of Emergency AC Power Loss of vital plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite power sources for 4.16 KV emergency buses.
3. RCS Temperature Uncontrolled or inadvertent temperature or pressure rises are indicative of a potential loss of safety functions.
4. Loss of Vital DC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of power to or degraded voltage on the 125V DC vital buses.
5. Loss of Communications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.
6. Hazardous Event Affecting Safety Systems Certain hazardous natural and technological events may result in VISIBL~ DAMAGE to or degraded performance of safety systems warranting classification.

 ~15 min. (Note 1)

Note 1: The DSEO/ADTS should declare the event promptly upon determining that the time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. Mode Applicability: 5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling Definition(s): UNPLANNED-. A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: RCS water level less than a required lower limit is meant to be less than the lower end of the level control band being procedurally maintained for the current condition or evolution. With the plant in Cold Shutdown, RCS water level is normally maintained within a pressurizer level control band (ref. 1 ). However, if RCS level is being controlled below the normal pressurizer level control band, or if level is being maintained in a designated band in the reactor vessel it is the inability to maintain level above the low end of the designated control band due to a loss of inventory resulting from a leak in the RCS that is the concern. With the plant in Refueling mode, RCS water level is normally maintained at or above the reactor vessel flange (ref. 2, 3). This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain water level to a required minimum level (or the lower limit of a level band), or a loss of the ability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [Pl#R] or RPV [BL"IR]) level concurrent with indications of coolant leakage. Either of these conditions is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Refueling evolutions that decrease RCS water inventory are carefully planned and controlled. An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below a procedurally required limit warrants the declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced water inventory that is available to keep the core covered. This EAL-#1- recognizes that the minimum required (reactor vessel/RCS [PLAIR] or RPV [BLAIR]) level can change several times during the course of a refueling outage as different plant configurations and system lineups are implemented. This EAL is met if the minimum level, specified for the current plant conditions, cannot be maintained for 15 minutes or longer. Page 74 of 259

The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to restore and maintain the expected water level. This criterion excludes transient conditions causing a brief lowering of water level. EAL #2 addresses a condition where all means to determine (reactor vessel/RCS [PVVR] or RPV [Bv'IR]) level have been lost. In this condition, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by obseNing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of 'Nater flmv to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the (reactor vessel/RCS [Pv'IR] or RPV [Bv'IR]).

This condition represents a potential substantial reduction in the level of plant safety. For this EAL-#!-, a lowering of RCS water level below (site specific level) ft-4 in. on Ll-112 or L-122 indicates that operator actions have not been successful in restoring and maintaining (reactor vessel/RCS [PVl/R] or RPV [BVVR]) water level. The heat-up rate of the coolant will increase as the available water inventory is reduced. A continuing decrease in water level will lead to core uncovery. RCS hot leg level of 4 in. below centerline is the lowest RCS level that supports continued decay heat removal pump operations (SOC) (ref. 1, 2, 3). Although related, this EAL is concerned with the loss of RCS inventory and not the potential concurrent effects on systems needed for decay heat removal (e.g., loss of a Residual Decay Heat Removal suction point). An increase in RCS temperature caused by a loss of decay heat removal capability is evaluated under IC CA3. A decreasing RCS level can be indicated by (ref. 1):

  • L-112 RCS mid-loop wide range RCS level transmitter (PPC)
  • L-122 No. 2 hot leg narrow range level transmitter (PPC)
  • Ll-112 No. 1 hot leg RCS mid-loop level indicator (CCTV)
  • ICC Reactor Vessel Level Monitoring System (RVLMS)

For EAL #2, the inability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [PVVR] or RPV [BVVR]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or pmver failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation.

Mode Applicability: 5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling Definition(s): IMMINENT - The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions. Basis: This IC addresses a significant and prolonged loss of (reactor vessel/RCS [PVVR] or RCS [BVVR]) inventory control and makeup capability leading to IMMINENT fuel damage. The lost inventory may be due to a RCS component failure, a loss of configuration control or prolonged boiling of reactor coolant. These conditions entail major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Emergency declaration. Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in RCS level. If RCS/reactor vessel RCS level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. Outage/shutdovvn contingency plans typically provide for re establishing or verifying CONTAINMENT CLOSURE following a loss of heat removal or RCS inventory control functions. The difference in the specified RCS/reactor vessel levels of E/\Ls 1.b and 2.b reflect the fact that with CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established, there is a lower probability of a fission product release to the environment. In E/\L 3.a, the 30 minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allmvs sufficient time for performance of actions to terminate leakage, recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring. The inability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [PVVR] or RCS [BVVR]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tanl< levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the (reactor vessel/RCS [PWR] or RCS [B'NR]).

The bottom of this instrument's span in the reactor vessel plenum is the lowest available reactor vessel level indicator and is used in this EAL to represent approximately the top of active fuel (ref. 1). RVLMS is only required to be operable in modes 1, 2 and 3 (ref. 2). For plant conditions in which RVLMS is disconnected or otherwise inoperable, such as in the Refueling mode, classification should be made based on CS1 .2 when RCS water level cannot be monitored.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Basis: This IC addresses a significant and prolonged loss of (reactor vessel/RCS RCS_[PVVR] or RP\/ [BVVR]) inventory control and makeup capability leading to IMMINENT fuel damage. The lost inventory may be due to a RCS component failure, a loss of configuration control or prolonged boiling of reactor coolant. These conditions entail major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Emergency declaration. Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If RCS/reactor vessel level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. Outage/shutdovvn contingency plans typically provide for re establishing or verifying CONTAINMENT CLOSURE following a loss of heat removal or RCS inventory control functions. The difference in the specified RCS/reactor vessel levels of EALs 1.b and 2.b reflect the fact that with CONTAINMENT CLOSURE established, there is a lmver probability of a fission product release to the environment. In this EAL~. the 30-minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time for performance of actions to terminate leakage, recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring. The inability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [PWR] or RPV [BVVR]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation (ref. 1, 2). If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the (reactor vessel/RCS [PVVR] or RPV [BVVR]) (ref. 2, 3, 1}. If the make-up rate to the RCS unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate, a loss of RCS inventory may be occurring even if the source of the leakage cannot be immediately identified. Visual observation of leakage from systems connected to the RCS that cannot be isolated could also be indicative of a loss of RCS inventory. Post-TMI accident studies indicated that the installed PWR nuclear instrumentation will operate erratically when the core is uncovered and that this should be used as a tool for making such determinations. In the Refueling mode, as water level in the reactor vessel lowers, the dose rate above the core will rise. The dose rate due to this core shine should result in on-scale indications of> 4 R/hr on containment area radiation monitors (ref. 5)., These This EALs addresses concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, Loss of Decay Heat Removal; SECY 91-283, Evaluation of Shutdown and Low Power Risk Issues; NUREG-1449, Shutdown and Low-Power Operation at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants in the United States; and NUMARC 91-06, Guidelines for Industry Actions to Assess Shutdown Management.

The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown. Basis: Millstone 2 includes in its Inadequate Core Cooling instrumentation a reactor vessel level monitoring system (RVLMS) that is displayed to the operators and can measure discrete reactor vessel water levels from the top of the reactor vessel head to the top of the core plate (string #8 - approximately 10 inches above the top of the active fuel). The bottom of this instrument's span in the reactor vessel plenum is the lowest available reactor vessel level indicator and is used in this EAL to represent approximately the top of active fuel (ref. 1). RVLMS is only required to be operable in modes 1, 2 and 3 (ref. 2). For plant conditions in which RVLMS is disconnected or otherwise inoperable, such as in the Refueling mode, classification should be made based on CG1 .2 when RCS water level cannot be monitored. This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain reactor vesselRCS level abo_ve the top of active fuel with containment challenged. This condition represents actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If RCS/reactor vessel level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable. Three conditions are associated with a challenge to containment's capability to serve as an effective barrier to fission product release:

1. With CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established, there is a high potential for a direct and unmonitored release of radioactivity to the environment. If CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is re-established prior to exceeding the 30-minute time limit, then declaration of a General Emergency is not required.
2. The existence of an explosive mixture means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to support a hydrogen burn (i.e., at the lower deflagration limit of 4%). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefore represents a challenge to containment integrity.

In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive gas mixture in containment. However, containment monitoring and/or sampling should be performed to verify this assumption and a General Emergency declared if it is determined that hydrogen concentration has exceeded the minimum necessary to support a hydrogen burn (4%) (ref. 3, 4). If all installed hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service during an event leading to fuel cladding damage, it may not be possible to obtain a containment hydrogen gas concentration reading as ambient conditions within the containment will preclude personnel access. During periods when installed containment hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service, operators may use the other listed indications to assess whether or not containment is challenged. Page 88 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B

3. Any UNPLANNED rise in containment pressure in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling mode indicates a potential challenge of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE capability due to likely reduced pressure capability of the containment (temporary barriers installed for CONTAINMENT CLOSURE). UNPLANNED containment pressure rise indicates CONTAINMENT CLOSURE cannot be assured and the containment cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release.

In EAL 2.b, the 30 minute criterion is tied to c! readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allmvs sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has actually occurred (i.e., to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time for peliormance of actions to terminate leakage, recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring. The inability to monitor (reactor vessel/RCS [P'NR] or RPV [BVVR]) level may be caused by instrumentation and/or pmver failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the (reactor vessel/RCS [PVVR] or RPV [B'NR]).

These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFR50.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; Page 94 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. Basis: Table C-3 provides a list of offsite and onsite AC electrical power sources credited for this EAL. The AC power sources annotated "(if already aligned)" require more than 15 minutes to establish and therefore are only credited if the source was already aligned at the time of AC power loss. The SBO Diesel Generator meets the definition for an Alternate AC power source per 10CFR50.2. This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safety-related equipment. When in the cold shutdown, refueling, or defueled mode, this condition is not classified as an Alert because of the increased time available to restore another power source to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these modes, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. An "AC power source" is a source recognized in AOPs and EOPs, and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.

  • A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency power source (e.g., an onsite diesel generator).
  • A loss of all offsite power and loss of all emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being back-fed from the unit main generatorUnit 3.
  • A loss of emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being fed or back-fed from an offsite power source.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power. The subsequent loss of the remaining single power source would escalate the event to an Alert in accordance with IC CA2. This cold condition EAL is equivalent to the hot condition EAL MA1.1. Under normal conditions, four 345 kV lines will be in service to connect the Millstone Station to the main electric system. The emergency buses powering equipment for safe shutdown are 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3), 240 (A4), and 24E (AS). 4.16 kV emergency bus 24E (AS) may be fed from either 24C or 240. The associated 480 V emergency buses are 22E (fed from 24C) and 22F (fed from 240). MPS2 has the following methods available to provide power to the 4.16 kV emergency buses (ref. 1, 2, 3): Page 95 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B

  • The Normal Station Service Transformer (NSST). During normal power operation, power is supplied to buses 24A (A 1) and 248 (A2). Bus ties connect to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 240 (A4 ). Additionally, the NSST may be used during shutdown and when maintenance is being performed on the Reserve Station Service Transformer by removing links for the main generator and providing power through the 15G-8T-2 or 15G-9T-2 breakers.
  • The Unit 2 Reserve Station Service Transformer (RSST). This is the connection to the utility system for the preferred power supply. During other periods, such as startup and shutdown when the NSST is not used, power is supplied from the Unit 2 RSST directly to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 240 (A4 ).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-12U(H7A) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24C(A3).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-13U(H7B) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24D(A4).
  • Unit 3 supplying power through bus 34A/34B to emergency bus 24E. This is controlled by procedure. However, there are power limitations when using this method to supply MPS2 buses when Millstone 3 bus 34A/34B is being used.

Thus, when in these modes, this condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Page 97 of 259

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC§ CS1 or A84RS1. This cold condition EAL is equivalent to the hot condition EAL MS1 .1. Under normal conditions, four 345 kV lines will be in service to connect the Millstone Station to the main electric system. The emergency buses powering equipment for safe shutdown are 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3), 240 (A4), and 24E (A5). 4.16 kV emergency bus 24E (A5) may be fed from either 24C or 240. The associated 480 V emergency buses are 22E (fed from 24C) and 22F (fed from 240). MPS2 has the following methods available to provide power to the 4.16 kV emergency buses (ref. 1, 2, 3):

  • The Normal Station Service Transformer (NSST). During normal power operation, power is supplied to buses 24A (A 1) and 248 (A2). Bus ties connect to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 240 (A4 ). Additionally, the NSST may be used during shutdown and when maintenance is being performed on the Reserve Station Service Transformer by removing links for the main generator and providing power through the 15G-8T-2 or 15G-9T-2 breakers.
  • The Unit 2 Reserve Station Service Transformer (RSST). This is the connection to the utility system for the preferred power supply. During other periods, such as startup and shutdown when the NSST is not used, power is supplied from the Unit 2 RSST directly to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 240 (A4).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-12U(H7A) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24C(A3).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-13U(H7B) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24D(A4).
  • Unit 3 supplying power through bus 34A/34B to emergency bus 24E. This is controlled by procedure. However, there are power limitations when using this method to supply MPS2 buses when Millstone 3 bus 34A/34B is being used.

A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change . or event may be known or unknown. Basis: In the absence of reliable RCS temperature indication caused by the loss of decay heat removal capability, classification should be based on the RCS pressure rise criteria when the RCS is intact in Mode 5 or based on time to boil data when in Mode 6 or the RCS is not intact in Mode 5 (ref. 2, 3). RCS time to 200°F is provided on the Shutdown Safety Assessment Sheet (ref. 2). The RCS is considered to be at reduced inventory when RCS level is less than 43 in. above RCS hot leg centerline (greater than 3 ft. below the reactor vessel flange) (ref. 3). This .J.G-EAL addresses conditions involving a loss of decay heat removal capability or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed. Either condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available does not warrant a classification. The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table addresses an increase in RCS temperature when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but the RCS is not intact, or RCS inventory is reduced (e.g., mid-loop operation in PWRs). The 20-minute criterion was included to allow time for operator action to address the temperature increase. The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table also addresses an increase in RCS temperature with the RCS intact. The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not crucial in this condition since the intact RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to a fission product release. The 60-minute time frame should allow sufficient time to address the temperature increase without a substantial degradation in plant safety. Finally, in the case where there is an increase in RCS temperature, the RCS is not intact or is at reduced inventory [PV1/R], and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established, no heat-up duration is allowed (i.e., 0 minutes). This is because 1) the evaporated reactor coolant may be released directly into the containment atmosphere and subsequently to the environment, and

2) there is reduced reactor coolant inventory above the top of irradiated fuel.

The RCS pressure rise threshold E/\L #2 provides a pressure-based indication of RCS_heat-up in the absence of RCS temperature monitoring capability. RCS pressure indicators Pl-103 and Pl-103-1 are capable of reading a 10 psi RCS pressure rise. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS 1 or AS4RS 1.

Mode Applicability: 5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling Definition(s): SAFETY SYSTEM - A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFR50.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. Basis ( The vital (Class 1E) 125 V DC power system consists of two physically and electrically separated redundant buses - Bus 201A and Bus 2018. Each bus has a 60 cell battery bank with an eight-hour rating of 2300 amp-hours. with an operating range of 105 Volts to 140 Volts. In the event that either battery system is out of service, it is possible through interlocked circuit breakers to feed both battery buses from one battery. Each of the vital batteries supplies control logic, field flashing and breaker control for one diesel generator. They also supply power to a backup DC motor driven starting air compressor for each diesel generator, emergency lighting, turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (Terry Turbine) controls (bus 201 B). and 125 VDC/120 VAC inverters for vital instrumentation. The four vital 120 VAC instrumentation panels power reactor protection, engineered safety features and vital instrumentation which is normally supplied by four physically isolated and electrically independent inverters, two of which are supplied by each of the two redundant batteries 201A and 201 B (ref. 1). Each of the four vital instrumentation panels has an alternate power supply via a "zero break" static transfer switch. Vital 120 VAC instrumentation channels 1 and 2 can be fed from separate DC/AC inverters whose power source is the turbine battery (i.e. 201 D). Vital 120 VAC instrumentation channels 3 and 4 can be fed from one of the two regulated AC instrument power panels. Page 105 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 This IC addresses a loss of vital DC power which compromises the ability to monitor and control operable SAFETY SYSTEMS when the plant is in the cold shutdown or refueling mode. In these modes, the core decay heat load has been significantly reduced, and coolant system -temperatures and pressures are lower; these conditions increase the time available to restore - a vital DC bus to service. Thus, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. As used in this EAL, "required" means the vital DC buses necessary to support operation of the in..,service, or operable, train or trains of SAFETY SYSTEM equipment. For example, if Train A is out-of-servjce (inoperable) for scheduled outage maintenance work and Train B is in-service (operable), then a loss of vital DC power affecting Train B would require the declaration of an Unusual Event. A loss of vital DC power to Train A would not warrant an emergency classification.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Definition(s): EXPLOSION - A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. FLOODING - A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area. SAFETY SYSTEM - A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFRS0.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. VISIBLE DAMAGE - Damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected SAFETY SYSTEM train. Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. Page 110 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B VISIBLE DAMAGE addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation and that potentially could cause performance issues. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. This VISIBLE DAMAGE should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM, or a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components, needed for the current operating mode. This condition significantly reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier, and therefore represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. EAL 1.b.1 addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it 'Nill be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. EAL 1.b.2 addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM component that is not in service/operation or readily apparent through indications alone, or to a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM_components. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended tO' be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. An event affecting equipment common to two or more trains of a safety system (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the common equipment) should be classified as an Alert under this EAL, as appropriate to the plant mode. By affecting the functionality of multiple trains of a safety system, the loss of the common equipment effectively meets the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and bases. An event affecting a single-train safety system (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under this EAL because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and bases would not be met. If an event affects a single-train safety system, then the emergency classification should be made based on plant parameters/symptoms meeting the EALs for another IC. Depending upon the circumstances, classification may also occur based on Shift Manager/DSEO/ADTS judgement. An event that affects two trains of a safety system (e.g., one train has indications of degraded performance and the other VISIBLE DAMAGE) that also has one or more additional trains should be classified as an Alert under this EAL as appropriate to the plant mode. This approach maintains consistency with the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and bases, and is warranted because the event was severe enough to affect the functionality of two trains of a safety system despite plant design criteria associated with system and system train separation and protection. Such an event may have caused other plant impacts that are not immediately apparent. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS1 or AS-1-RS1. This cold condition EAL is equivalent to the hot condition EAL MA8.1. Reference(s): Page 111 of 259

  • 1,700 mrem/hr on the HSM front bird screen
  • 400 mrem/hr on the outside HSM door
  • 12 mrem/hr on the HSM end shield wall Mode Applicability:

All Definition(s): CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY- The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. Confinement Boundary is defined as the NUHOMS Dry Shielded Canister (DSC). INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI): A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. Basis: This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage cask containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of one or more fuel assemblies due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the cask or fuel from storage. The existence of "damage" is determined by radiological survey. The specified EAL threshold values correspond to 2 times the NUHOMS Horizontal Storage Module (HSM) technical specification external surface dose rate limits (ref. 2). The technical specification multiple of "2 times", which is also used in Recognition CategoryA-.B_IC Ald4RU1, is used here to distinguish between non-emergency and emergency conditions. The emphasis for this classification is the degradation in the level of safety of the spent fuel cask and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded cask, the fact that the "on-contact" dose rate limit is exceeded may be determined based on measurement of a dose rate at some distance from the cask (ref. 1, 2.3). Security-related events for ISFSls are covered under Category H ICs HU1 and HA1. Page 114 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Category F - Fission Product Barrier Degradation EAL Group: Hot Conditions (RCS temperature > 200°F); EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more hot operating modes. EALs in this category represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of highly radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment. The primary fission product barriers are: A. Fuel Clad Barrier (FC): The Fuel Clad Barrier consists of the cladding material that contains the fuel pellets. B. Reactor Coolant System Barrier (RCS): The RCS Barrier includes the _RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves. C. Containment Barrier (CTMT): The Containment Barrier includes the containment building and connections up to' and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam, feedwater, and blowdown line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve. Containment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) from an Alert to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The EALs in this category require evaluation of the loss and potential loss thresholds listed in the fission product barrier matrix of Table F-1. "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials. "Potential Loss" means integrity of the barrier is threatened and could be lost if conditions continue to degrade. The number of barriers that are lost or potentially lost and the following criteria determine the appropriate emergency classification level: ' Alert: Any loss or any potential Joss of either Fuel Clad or RCS Barrier Site Area Emergency: Loss or potential Joss of any two barriers General Emergency: Loss of any two barriers and loss or potential Joss of third barrier The logic used for emergency classification based on fission product barrier monitoring should reflect the fo!lowing considerations:

  • The Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier are weighted more heavily than the Containment Barrier.
  • Unusual Event ICs associated with RCS and Fuel Clad Barriers are addressed under System Malfunction ICs.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28

  • For accident conditions involving a radiological release, evaluation of the fission product barrier thresholds will need to be performed in conjunction with dose assessments to ensure correct and timely escalation of the emergency classification. For .example, an evaluation of the fission product barrier thresholds may result in a Site Area Emergency classification while a dose assessment may indicate that an EAL for General Emergency IC AG4-RG1 has been exceeded.
  • The fission product barrier thresholds specified within a scheme reflect plant-specific MPS2 design and operating characteristics.
  • As used in this category, the term RCS leakage encompasses not just those types defined in Technical Specifications but also includes the loss of RCS mass to any location- inside the containment, an interfacing system, or outside of the containment.

The release of liquid or steam mass from the RCS due to the as-designed/expected operation of a relief valve is not considered to be RCS leakage.

  • At the Site Area Emergency level, EAL users should maintain cognizance of how far present conditions are from meeting a threshold that would require a General Emergency declaration. For example, if the Fuel Clad and RCS fission product barriers were both lost, then there should be frequent assessments of containment radioactive inventory and integrity. Alternatively, if both the Fuel Clad and RCS fission product barriers were potentially lost, the Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS would have more
  • assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.

Table F-1 lists the fission product barrier thresholds, bases and references. At the Alert classification level, Fuel Clad and RCS barriers are weighted more heavily than the Containment barrier. Unlike the Containment barrier, loss or potential loss of either the Fuel Clad or RCS barrier may result in the relocation of radioactive materials or degradation of core cooling capability. Note that the loss or potential loss of Containment barrier in combination with loss or potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS barrier results in declaration of a Site Area Emergency under EAL FS1 .1 Reference{s):

Basis: Fuel Clad, RCS and Containment comprise the fission product barriers. Table F-1 lists the fission product barrier thresholds, bases and references. At the Site Area Emergency classification level, each barrier is weighted equally. A Site Area Emergency is therefore appropriate for any combination of the following conditions:

  • One barrier loss and a second barrier loss (i.e., loss - loss)
  • One barrier loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., loss - potential loss)
  • One barrier potential loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., potential loss -

potential loss)

  • At the Site Area Emergency classification level, the ability to dynamically assess the proximity of present conditions with respect to the threshold for a General Emergency is important. For example, the existence of Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier loss thresholds in addition to offsite dose assessments would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and Containment integrity in anticipation of reaching a General Emergency classification. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS potential loss thresholds existed, they would have greater assurance that escalation to a General Emergency is less IMMINENT.

The table is structured so that each of the three barriers occupies adjacent columns. Each fission product barrier column is further divided into two columns; one for Loss thresholds and one for Potential Loss thresholds. The first column of the table (to the left of the Fuel Clad Loss column) lists the categories (types) of fission product barrier thresholds. The fission product barrier categories are: A. RCS or SG Tube Leakage B. Inadequate Heat removal C. CTMT Radiation / RCS Activity D. CTMT Integrity or Bypass E. DSEO/ADTS Judgment Each category occupies a row in Table F-1 thus forming a matrix defined by the categories. The intersection of each row with each Loss/Potential Loss column forms a cell in which one or more fission product barrier thresholds appear. If NEI 99-01 does not define a threshold for a barrier Loss/Potential Loss, the word "None" is entered in the cell. Thresholds are assigned sequential numbers within each barrier column beginning with number one. If a cell in Table F-1 contains more than one numbered threshold, each ofthe numbered thresholds, if exceeded, signifies a Loss or Potential Loss of the barrier. It is not necessary to exceed all of the thresholds in a category before declaring a barrier Loss/Potential Loss. Subdivision of Table F-1 by category facilitates association of plant conditions to the applicable fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds. This structure promotes a systematic approach to assessing the classification status of the fission product barriers. When equipped with knowledge of plant conditions related to the fission product barriers, the EAL-user first scans down the category column of Table F-1, locates the likely category and then reads across the fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds in that category to determine if a threshold has been exceeded. If a threshold has not been exceeded, the EAL-user proceeds to the next likely category and continues review of the thresholds in the_ new category If the EAL-user determines that any threshold has been exceeded, by definition, the barrier is lost or potentially lost - even if multiple thresholds in the same barrier column are exceeded, only that one barrier is lost or potentially lost. The EAL-user must examine each of the three fission product barriers to determine if other barrier thresholds in the category are lost or potentially lost. For example, if containment radiation is sufficiently high, a Loss of the Fuel Clad and RCS Barriers and a Potential Loss of the Containment Barrier can occur. Barrier Losses and Potential Losses are then applied to the algorithms given in EALs FG1 .1, FS1 .1, and FA 1.1 to determine the appropriate emergency classification. Page 121 of 259

None Basis: Containment radiation monitor readings greater than the Table F-2 Fuel Clad Loss column threshold indicate the release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage, into the containment. The reading is derived assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 5% clad failure into the containment atmosphere (readings have been rounded for readability). Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine spiking) allowed within Technical Specifications and are therefore indicative of fuel damage (approximately 5 % clad failure depending on core inventory and RCS volume)The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent I 131. Reactor coolant activity above this level is greater than that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to an approximate range of 2% to 5% fuel clad damage. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of fuel clad damage has occurred, it represents a lo~s of the Fuel Clad Barrier(ref. 1, 2). Time after shutdown values are provided to account for radioactive decay. The values specified in Table F-2 were developed using a method to minimize error(+/-) for the threshold value within each defined time period. Time periods were chosen to fit monitor Page 128 of 259

Values were chosen within each time period to minimize error (<50%) to the highest and lowest response within the range. The radiation monitor reading in this threshold is higher than that specified for RCS Barrier Loss threshold C.4-2._since it indicates a loss of both the Fuel Clad barrier and the RCS barrier.

None Basis: This threshold indicates that RCS radioactivity concentration is greater than 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131. Reactor coolant activity above this level is greater than 'that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to an approximate range of 2% to 5% fuel clad damage. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of fuel clad damage has occurred, it represents a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is recognized that sample collection and analysis of reactor coolant with highly elevated activity levels could require several hours to complete. Nonetheless, a sample-related threshold is included as a backup to other indications. This EAL provides the ability to take a dose rate off of an RCS sample to determine fuel clad barrier loss, without the need to analyze the sample before making this determination. This EAL saves significant time by allowing evaluation of contained radioactivity within the RCS by a direct dose rate measurement. Per Engineering Calculation RA-0059, dose rate is assumed to result from radioactive iodines (1-131 thru 1-135) in RCS in concentrations corresponding to the loss of 5% of gap radioactivity of the core. For 5% loss of gap radioactivity (-300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131 ), 2% of the core inventory of radioactive iodines are assumed to be contained in the gap. The values contained in Table F-3 (FC Loss Coolant Activity Dose Rates) represent expected one foot dose rates per ml of sample based on time since reactor shutdown to the time when the sample is taken. Time after shutdown values are provided to account for radioactive decay. The expected dose rate is a near linear relationship with the volume of the sample, so any volume collected can be determined by dividing the measured dose rate by the sample volume and comparing to the threshold value from Table F-3 for the applicable time frame. These dose rates assume no ECCS injection so there is no dilution credited which would vary coolant volume. Values in the table have been rounded for ease of use.

After 24 hours, the expected response from radioactive iodine levels off. Therefore, the value shown for > 8 hours applies for all samples taken 8 hours or more since reactor shutdown (ref. 1, 2). The values specified in Table F-3 were developed using a method to minimize error(+/-) for the threshold value within each defined time period.

  • UNISOLABLE RCS leakage
  • SG tube RUPTURE Definition(s):

UNISOLABLE - An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. RUPTURE - The condition of a steam generator in which primary-to-secondary leaRage is of sufficient magnitude to require a safety injection. Basis: This threshold is based on an UNISOLABLE RCS leak of sufficient size to require an automatic or manual actuation of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS). This condition clearly represents a loss of the RCS Barrier. A SIAS actuation resulting from a non-RCS leak event (ex.: FAULTED SG) does not meet the intent of this threshold. This threshold is applicable to unidentified and pressure boundary leakage, as well as identified leakage. It is also applicable to UNISOLABLE RCS leakage through an interfacing system. The mass loss may be into any location - inside containment, to the secondary-side (i.e., steam generator tube leakage) or outside of containment. A steam generator with primary-to-secondary leakage of sufficient magnitude to require a safety injection is considered to be RUPTURED. If a RUPTURED steam generator is also FAUL TED outside of containment, the declaration escalates to a Site Area Emergency since the Containment Barrier Loss threshold 4-AA.1 will also be met. If EOPs direct operators to open the Pressurizer pressure relief valves to implement a core cooling strategy (i.e., a "feed and bleed" cooldown), then there will exist a reactor coolant flow path from the RCS, past the "pressurizer safety and relief valves" and into the containment that operators cannot isolate without compromising the effectiveness of the strategy (i.e., for the strategy to be effective, the valves must be kept in the open position); therefore, the flow through the pressure relief line is UNISOLABLE. In this case, the ability of the RCS pressure boundary to serve as an effective barrier to a release of fission products has been eliminated and thus this condition constitutes a loss of the RCS barrier.

Definition{s): UNISOLABLE -An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. Basis: This threshold is based on an UNISOLABLE RCS leak that results in the inability to maintain pressurizer level within specified limits by operation of a normally used charging (makeup) pump, but aR EGGS (Sl)SIAS actuation has not occurred.

When assessing RCS leaks, the classification should be based on actual leakage vice the impact of normal plant response to Operator directed actions. Example: A rapid down power may have the impact of increasing charging flow. The increase in charging should not be considered increased leakage.

2. Uncontrolled RCS cooldown > 100°F/hr and RCS pressure and temperature are to the left of the 200°F Subcooling {PTS) Curve (EOP Figure 1)

Definition(s): None Basis: This condition indicates an extreme challenge to the integrity of the RCS pressure boundary due to pressurized thermal shock - a transient that causes rapid RCS cooldown while the RCS is in Mode 3 or higher (i.e., hot and pressurized). The maximum allowed RCS cooldown rate per Technical Specifications is 100°F/hr with cold leg temperature > 220°F (ref. 1). A RCS cooldown greater than 100°F/hr below 500°F is the temperature that requires implementation of Pressurized Thermal Shock (PTS) guidance (ref. 2, 3, 4). The 200°F maximum subcooling limit ensures PTS and brittle fracture of the reactor vessel will not occur following an RCS overcooling transient (defined as an uncontrolled cooldown to less than 500°F) (ref. 3).

3. Applicable RCS and Core Heat Removal (HR) Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria not met Definition(s):

None Basis: There are three defined and potentially applicable RCS and Core Heat Removal (HR) Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria conditions (ref. 1, 2):

  • HR SG Heat Sink With No SI Operating
  • HR SG Heat Sink With SI Operating
  • HR Once-Through-Cooling Failure to meet the applicable HR acceptance criteriaThis condition indicates an extreme challenge to the ability to remove RCS heat using the steam generators (i.e., loss of an effective secondary-side heat sink). This condition represents a potential loss of the RCS Barrier. In accordance with EOPs, there may be unusual accident conditions during which operators intentionally reduce the heat removal capability of the steam generators; during these conditions, classification using threshold is not warranted.

Meeting this threshold results in a Site Area Emergency because this threshold is identical to Fuel Clad Barrier Potential Loss threshold BB.3; both will be met. This condition warrants a Site Area Emergency declaration because inadequate RCS heat removal may result in fuel heat-up sufficient to damage the cladding and increase RCS pressure to the point where mass will be lost from the system.

None Basis: A reading > 5 R/hr (minimum practical reading) on RM-8240 or 8241 is indicative of a breach in the RCS barrier (ref. 1, 2). The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals Technical Specification allowable limits. This value is lower than that specified for Fuel Clad barrier loss threshold 3-AC.2 since it indicates a loss of the RCS Barrier only. Because of the very high fuel clad integrity, only small amounts of noble gases would be dissolved in the primary coolant. Conservative estimates indicated that the readings from release of the normal RCS inventory would be below normal readings on the monitor while the station was operating. Therefore, a value 5 times the normal containment radiation monitor (RE-8240/8241) reading of - 1 R/hr is used. The reading is less than that specified for fuel cladding barrier loss because no damage to the fuel cladding is assumed. Only leakage from the RCS is assumed for this barrier loss threshold. The value is high enough to preclude erroneous classification of barrier loss due to normal plant operations and is set at the mid-point of the lowest decade of monitor indication (ref. 2). There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with RCS Activity/ Containment Radiation. Page 147 of 259

1. A leaking or RUPTURED SG is FAULTED outside of CTMT Definition(s):

FAUL TED - The term applied to a steam generator that has a steam leak on the secondary side of sufficient size to cause an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator to become completely depressurized. RUPTURED - The condition of a steam generator in which primary-to-secondary leakage is of sufficient magnitude to require a safety injection. Basis: This threshold addresses a leaking or RUPTURED Steam Generator (SG) that is also FAUL TED outside of containment. The condition of the SG, whether leaking or RUPTURED, is determined in accordance with the threshqlds for RCS Barrier Potential Loss 4-A-A.1 and Loss 4-c-AA.1, respectively. This condition represents a bypass of the containment barrier. FAULTED is a defined term within the NEI 99-01 methodology; this determination is not necessarily dependent upon entry into, or diagnostic steps within, an EOP. For example, if the pressure in a steam generator is decreasing uncontrollably !fpart of the FAULTED definition.}} and the FAULTED steam generator isolation procedure is not entered because EOP user rules are dictating implementation of another procedure to address a higher priority condition, the steam generator is still considered FAUL TED for emergency classification purposes. Th1;3 FAULTED criterion establishes an appropriate lower bound on the size of a steam release that may require an emergency classification. Steam releases of this size are readily observable with normal Control Room indications. The lower bound for this aspect of the containment barrier is analogous to the lower bound criteria specified in IC -SY4-MU4 for the fuel clad barrier (i.e., RCS activity values) and IC SYa-MU5 for the RCS barrier (i.e., RCS leak rate values). This threshold also applies to prolonged steam releases necessitated by operational considerations such as the forced steaming of a leaking or RUPTURED steam generator directly to atmosphere to cooldown the plant, or to drive an auxiliary (emergency) feed water pump. These types of conditions will result in a significant and sustained release of radioactive steam to the environment (and are thus similar to a FAULTED condition). The inability to isolate the steam flow without an adverse effect on plant cooldown meets the intent of a loss of containment. Steam releases associated with the expected operation of a SG power operated relief valve or safety relief valve do not meet the intent of this threshold. Such releases may occur Page 154 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B intermittently for a short period of time following a reactor trip as operators process through emergency operating procedures to bring the plant to a stable condition and prepare to initiate a plant cooldown. Steam releases associated with the unexpected operation of a valve (e.g., a stuck-open safety valve) do meet this threshold. Following an SG tube leak or rupture, there may be minor radiological releases through a secondary-side system component (e.g., air ejectors, gland seal exhausters, valve packing, etc.). These types of releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category A-.R_ICs.

1. CETs > 1200°F AND .

Restoration procedures not effective within 15 min. (Note 1) Note 1: The DSEO/ADTS should declare the event promptly upon determining that the time limit has been exceeded, or. will likely be exceeded. Definition(s): IMMINENT: The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions. Basis: The SAMGs use a CET temperature of 1200°F as an entry condition and the temperature indicative of a badly damaged core. This condition represents an IMMINENT core melt sequence which, if not corrected, could lead to vessel failure and an increased potential for containment failure. For this condition to occur there must already have been a loss of the RCS Barrier and the Fuel Clad Barrier. If implementation of a procedure(s) to restore adequate core cooling is not effective (successful) within 15 minutes, it is assumed that the event trajectory will likely lead to core melting and a subsequent challenge of the Containment Barrier. The restoration procedure is considered "effective" if core exit thermocouple readings are decreasing and/or if reactor vessel level is increasing. Whether or not the procedure(s) will be effective should be apparent within 15 minutes. The Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS should escalate the emergency classification level to a General Emergency as soon as it is determined that the procedure(s) will not be effective. Severe accident analyses (e.g., NUREG-1150) have concluded that functional restoration procedures can arrest core degradation in a significant fraction of core damage scenarios, and that the likelihood of containment failure is very small in these events. Given this, it is appropriate to provide 15 minutes beyond the required entry point to determine if procedural actions can reverse the core melt sequence. Reference(s):

None Basis: The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the containment, assuming that 20% of the fuel cladding has failed (readings have been rounded for readability). This level of fuel clad failure is well above that used to determine the analogous Fuel Clad Barrier Loss and RCS Barrier Loss thresholds (ref. 1, 2). Time after shutdown values are*provided to account for radioactive decay. NUREG-1228, Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents, indicates the fuel clad failure must be greater than approximately 20% in order for there to be a major release of radioactivity requiring offsite protective actions. For this condition to exist, there must already have been a loss of the RCS barrier and the Fuel Clad barrier. It is therefore prudent to treat this condition as a potential loss of containment which would then escalate the emergency classification level to a General Emergency. The values specified in Table F-2 were developed using a method to minimize error(+/-) for the threshold value within each defined time period. Time periods were chosen to fit monitor response (fast changes in response early following reactor shutdown are broken up into smaller time periods to better approximate expected change). Values were chosen within each time period to minimize error (<50%) to the highest and lowest response within the range. Page 160 of 259

2. CTMT isolation is required AND EITHER:
  • CTMT integrity has been lost based on DSEO/ADTS judgment
  • UNISOLABLE pathway from CTMT atmosphere to the environment exists Definition(s):

UNISOLABLE -An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. Basis: The status of the containment barrier during an event involving steam generator tube leakage is assessed using Loss Threshold 4-:AA.1. Therefore this threshold is not applicable to steam generator tube leakage. These thresholds address a situation where containment isolation is required and one of two conditions exists as discussed below. Users are reminded that there may be accident and release conditions that simultaneously meet both bulleted thresholds 4.l\.1 and 4 .l\.2. 4:A:4First Threshold - Containment integrity has been lost, i.e., the actual containment atmospheric leak rate likely exceeds that associated with allowable leakage (or sometimes referred to as design leakage). Following the release of RCS mass into containment, containment pressure will fluctuate based on a variety of factors; a loss of containment integrity condition may (or may not) be accompanied by a noticeable drop in containment pressure. Recognizing the inherent difficulties in determining a containment leak rate during accident conditions, it is expected that the Emergency DirectorDSEOADTS will assess this threshold using judgment, and with due consideration given to current plant conditions, and available operational and radiological data (e.g., containment pressure, readings on radiation monitors outside containment, operating status of containment pressure control equipment, etc.). Refer to the middle piping run of Figure g._µ1. Two simplified examples are provided. One is leakage from a penetration and the other is leakage from an in-service system valve. Depending upon radiation monitor locations and sensitivities, the leakage could be detected by any of the four monitors depicted in the figure. Another example would be a loss or potential loss of the RCS barrier, and the simultaneous occurrence of two FAULTED locations on a steam generator where one fault is located inside containment (e.g., on a steam or feedwater line) and the other outside of containment. In this , case, the associated steam line provides a pathway for the containment atmosphere to escape to an area outside the containment. Page 162 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Following the leakage of RCS mass into containment and a rise in containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable (design) containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category A ICs. 4-:A+/-Second Threshold - Conditions are such that there is an UNISOLABLE pathway for the migration of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environn:tent. As used here, the term "environment" includes the atmosphere of a room or area, outside the containment, that may, in turn, communicate with the outside-the-plant atmosphere (e.g., through discharge of a ventilation system or atmospheric leakage). Depending upon a variety of factors, this condition may or may not be accompanied by a noticeable drop in containment pressure. Refer to the top piping run of Figure 94'.-41. In this simplified example, the inboard and outboara isolation valves remained open after a containment isolation was required (i.e., containment isolation was not successful). There is now an UNISOLABLE pathway from the containment to the environment. The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do not remove fission product noble gases. In addition, a filter could become ineffective due to iodine' and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e., retention ability has been exceeded) or water saturation from steam/high humidity in the release stream. Leakage between two interfacing liquid systems, by itself, does not meet this threshold. Refer to the bottom piping run of Figure 94-41. In this simplified example, leakage in an RCP seal cooler is allowing radioactive material to enter the Auxiliary Building. The radioactivity would be detected by the Process Monitor. If there is no leakage from the closed water cooling system to the Auxiliary Building, then no threshold has been met. If the pump developed a leak that allowed steam/water to enter the Auxiliary Building, then the second threshold-4.-B would be met. Depending upon radiation monitor locations and sensitivities, this leakage could be detected by any of the four monitors depicted in the figure and cause the first threshold 4 .A.1 to be met as well. Following the leakage of RCS mass into containment and a rise in containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. Minor releases may also occur if a containment isolation valve(s) fails to close but the containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category A-B._ICs. Reference(s):

3. Indications of RCS leakage outside of CTMT Definition(s):

None Basis: To ensure proper esc~lation of the emergency classification, the RCS leakage outside of containment must be related to the mass loss that is causing the RCS Loss and/or Potential Loss threshold 4-cAA.1 to be met. The status of the containment barrier during an event involving steam generator tube leakage is assessed using Containment Loss Threshold A.1. Therefore this threshold is not applicable to steam generator tube leakage. Containment sump, temperature, pressure and/or radiation levels will increase if reactor coolant mass is leaking into the containment. If these parameters have not increased, then the reactor coolant mass may be leaking outside of containment (i.e., a containment bypass sequence). Increases in sump, temperature, pressure, flow and/or radiation level readings outside of the containment may indicate that the RCS mass is being lost outside of containment. Unexpected elevated readings and alarms on radiation monitors with detectors outside containment should be corr9borated with other available indications to confirm that the source is a loss of RCS mass outside of containment. If the fuel clad barrier has not been lost, radiation monitor readings outside of containment may not increase significantly; however, other unexpected changes in sump levels, area temperatures or pressures, flow rates, etc. should be sufficient to determine if RCS mass is being lost outside of the containment. Refer to the middle piping run of Figure 94'.--41. In this simplified example, a leak has occurred at a reducer on a pipe c;:arrying reactor coolant in the Auxiliary Building. Depending upon radiation monitor locations and sensitivities, the leakage could be detected by any of the four monitors depicted in the figure and cause loss threshold CNB4 D.2 to be met as well.

CTMT Integrity or Bypass Degradation Threat: Potential Loss Threshold:

13. CTMT pressure > 54 psig Definition(s):

None Basis: If containment pressure exceeds the design pressure of 54 psig (ref. 1), there exists a potential . to lose the containment barrier. To reach this level, there must be an inadequate core cooling condition for an extended period of time; therefore, the RCS and Fuel Clad barriers would already be lost. Thus, this threshold is a discriminator between a Site Area Emergency and General Emergency since there is now a potential to lose the third barrier. Reference(s):

CTMT Integrity or Bypass Degradation Threat: Potential Loss Threshold: , 4. CTMT hydrogen concentration> 4% Definition(s): None Basis: The existence of an explosive mixture means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to support a hydrogen burn (i.e., at the lower deflagration limit). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefor~ represents a potential loss of the containment barrier. A containment hydrogen concentration of 4% conservatively represents the lowest threshold for flammability in the presence of oxygen (ref. 1). Reference(s):

5. CTMT pressure > 10 psig with < one full train of CTMT heat removal systems (Note 11) operating per design for ~15 min. (Note 1)

Note 1: The DSEO/ADTS should declare the event promptly upon determining that the time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. Note 11: One full train of containment heat removal systems consist of one Containment Spray pump and two containment air recirculation units in the Containment Air Recirculation and Cooling System. Definition(s): None Basis: This threshold describes a condition where containment pressure is greater than the setpoint (9.48 psig rounded to 10 psig for readability) at which containment energy (heat) removal systems are designed to automatically actuate, and less than one full train of equipment is capable of operating per design (ref. 1, 2). The 15-minute criterion is included to allow operators time to manually start equipment that n;iay not have automatically started, if possible. This threshold represents a potential loss of containment in that containment heat removal/depressurization systems (e.g., containment sprays, ice condenser fans, etc., but not including containment venting strategies) are either lost or performing in a degraded manner. One full train of containment heat removal systems consist of one Containment Spray pump and two containment air recirculation units. The combination of required equipment can be obtained from using equipment on either emergency bus in order to meet the "one full train" requirement (ref. 3). Reference(s):

Hazards are non-plant, system-related events that can directly or indirectly affect plant operation, reactor plant safety or personnel safety.

1. Security.

Unauthorized entry attempts into the PROTECTED AREA, bomb threats, sabotage attempts, and actual security compromises threatening loss of physical control of the plant.

2. Seismic Event Natural events such as earthquakes have potential to cause plant structure or equipment damage of sufficient magnitude to threaten personnel or plant safety.
3. Natural or Technological Hazard Other natural and non-naturally occurring events that can cause damage to plant facilities include tornados, FLOODING, hazardous material releases and events restricting site access warranting classification.
4. Fire FIRES can pose significant hazards to personnel and reactor safety. Appropriate for classification are FIRES within the plant PROTECTED AREA or which may affect operability of equipment needed for safe shutdown
5. Hazardous Gas Toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant or flammable gas leaks can affect normal plant operations or preclude access to plant areas required to safely shutdown the plant.
6. Control Room Evacuation Events that are indicative of loss of Control Room habitability. If the Control Room must be evacuated, additional support for monitoring and controlling plant functions is necessary through the emergency response facilities.
7. DSEO/ADTS Judgment The EALs defined in other categories specify the predetermined symptoms or events that are indicative of emergency or potential emergency conditions and thus warrant classification. While these EALs have been developed to address the full spectrum of possible emergency conditions which may warrant classification and subsequent implementation of the Emergency Plan, a provision for classification of emergencies based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The EALs of this category provide the DSEO/ADTS the latitude to classify emergency conditions consistent with the established classification criteria based upon DSEO/ADTS judgment.

SEGUR/TY CONDITION - Any security event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A security condition does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION. Basis: This IC addresses events that pose a threat to plant personnel or SAFETY SYSTEM equipment, and thus represent a potential degradation in the level of plant safety. Security events which do not meet one of these EALs are adequately addressed by the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under ICs HA1, and HS1 and HG1. Guidance on assessing Security Conditions is included in the Security Contingency Plan Implementing Procedures (SCIP). The SCIPs are implementing procedures for the Station Safeguards Contingency Plan. Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event. Classification of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to plant personnel and Offsite Response Organizations. Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program]. The first threshold EAL #1 references the Security Shift Supervision (site specific security shift supervision)because these are the individuals trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on security event confirmation and classification is controlled due to the nature of Safeguards and 10 CFR 2.39 information. The second threshold EAL #2 addresses the receipt of a credible security threat. The credibility of the threat is assessed in accordance with the Millstone, North Anna and Surry Power Stations' Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan .and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program(site specific procedure) (ref. 1). The third threshold EAL #3 addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may also be provided by NORAD through the NRC. Validation of the threat is performed in accordance with OP-AA-900 Authentication (ref. 2)(site specific procedure). Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the Security Plan for MPS (ref. 1). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC HA 1.

Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan {and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program}. As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering).

In some cases, it may not be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). It is expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. In this case, the appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA or NRC. The emergency declaration, including one based on other ICs/EALs, should not be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency. Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the Security Plan for MPS (ref. 1). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC HS1.

HOSTILE ACTION - An act toward MPS 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on MPS. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA). HOSTILE FORCE - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction. OWNER CONTROLLED AREA - The area within the SITE BOUNDARY including the PROTECTED AREA. PROJECTILE - An object directed toward a Nuclear Power Plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. PROTECTED AREA - The area within the Millstone Power Station security fence. Basis: This IC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the PROTECTED AREA. This event will require rapid response and assistance due to the possibility for damage to plant equipment. Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event (ref. 1). Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan {and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program}.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). The Site Area Emergency declaration will mobilize State and local agencyGRG resources and have them available to develop and implement public protective actions in the unlikely event that the attack is successful in impairing multiple safety functions. This .f.G-EAL does not apply to- a HOSTILE ACTION directed at an ISFSI Protected Area located outside the PROTECTED /\RE/\; such an attacl< should be assessed using IC H/\1 . It also does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public document~; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the Security Plan for MPS (ref. 1). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC HG1.

An earthquake greater than an QBE but less than a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) should have no significant impact on safety-related systems, structures and components; however, some time may be required for the plant staff to ascertain the actual post-event condition of the plant (e.g., performs walk- ,downs and post-event inspections). Given the time necessary to perform walk-downs and inspections, and fully understand any impacts, this event represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Event verification with external sources should not be necessary during or following an OBE. Earthquakes of this magnitude should be readily felt by on-site personnel and recognized as a seismic event (e.g., lateral accelerations in excess of 0.00§09g). The Shift Manager or Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS may seek external verification if deemed appropriate (e.g., a call to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS}, check internet news sources, etc.); however, the verification action must not preclude a timely emergency declaration. For both MPS2 and MPS3, the QBE ground acceleration thresholds are > 0.09g horizontal or

> 0.06g vertical. The MPS3 Control Room has real time OBE exceedance alarm indications (ref. 1, 2, 3). Therefore classification shall be based upon the receipt of the MPS3 OBE alarm light on MPS3 Panel 3ERS-PNLSM1 C (ref. 2). The MPS3 Control Room will notify MPS2 if the seismic event exceeded the OBE threshold.

Additionally, the Unit 2 seismic instrumentation provides a trigger alarm (C06 DA-22) at 0.01 g ground acceleration (ref. 4 ). Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or SABMA9.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not_constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. VALID-An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. Basis: This IC addresses the magnitude and extent of FIRES that may be indicative of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. EAL#1 The 15 minute requirement begins with a credible notification that a FIRE is occurring, or receipt of multiple VALID fire detection system alarms or field validation of a single fire alarm. The alarm is to be validated using available Control Room indications or alarms to prove that it is not spurious, or by reports from the field. Table H-1 Fire Areas are those areas that contain equipment necessary for safe operation and shutdown of the plant (ref. 1, 2). The intent of the 15-minute duration is to size the FIRE and to discriminate against small FIRES that are readily extinguished (e.g., smoldering waste paper basket). In addition to alarms, other indications of a FIRE could be a drop in fire main pressure, automatic activation of a suppression system, etc. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of an initial fire alarm, indication, or report. For EAL assessment purposes, the emergency declaration clock starts at the time that the initial alarm, indication, or report was received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. Similarly, the fire duration clock also starts at the time of receipt of the initial alarm, indication or report._EAL #2 This EAL addresses receipt of a single fire alarm, and the existence of a fl RE is not verified (i.e., proved or disproved) within 30 minutes of the alarm. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of a single fire alarm. for EAL assessment purposes, the 30 minute clock starts at the time that the initial alarm 1.vas received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. A single fire alarm, absent other indication(s) of a flRE, may be indicative of equipment failure or a spurious activation, and not an actual flRE. for this reason, additional time is allowed to verify the validity of the alarm. The 30 minute period is a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual fl RE exists; hm.vever, after that time, and absent information to the contrary, it is assumed that an actual flRE is in progress. If an actual fl RE is verified by a report from the field, then EAL #1 is immediately appl,icable, and the emergency must be declared if the fl RE is not extinguished within 15 minutes of the report. If the alarm is verified to be due to an equipment failure or a spurious activation, and this verification occurs within 30 minutes of the receipt of the alarm, then this EAL is not applicable and no emergency declaration is i.varranted.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 E/\L #3 In addition to a FIRE addressed by E/\L #1 or E/\L #2, a FIRE 1.vithin the plant PROTECTED /\REA not extinguished within 60 minutes may also potentially degrade the level of plant safety. This basis extends to a FIRE occurring within the PROTECTED /\RE/\ of an ISFSI located outside the plant PROTECTED /\RE/\. [Sentence for plants with an ISFSI outside the plant Protected /\rea] E/\L #4 If a FIRE \Vithin the plant or ISFSI [for plants with an ISFSI outside the plant Protected Area] PROTECTED /\RE/\ is of sufficient size to require a response by an offsite firefighting agency (e.g., a local town Fire Department), then the level of plant safety is potentially degraded. The dispatch of an offsite firefighting agency to the site requires an emergency declaration only if it is needed to actively support firefighting efforts because the fire is beyond the capability of the Fire Brigade to extinguish. Declaration is not necessary if the agency resources are placed on stand by, or supporting post extinguishment recovery or investigation actions. Basis Related Requirements from Appendix R Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, states in part: Criterion 3 of Appendix/\ to this part specifies that "Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions." VVhen considering the effects of fire, those systems associated with achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions assume major importance to safety because damage to them can lead to core damage resulting from loss of coolant through boil off. Because fire may affect safe shutdown systems and because the loss of function of systems used to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents under post fire conditions does not per so impact public safety, the need to limit fire damage to systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents. In addition, Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, requires, among other considerations, the use of 1 hour fire barriers for the enclosure of cable and equipment and associated non safety circuits of one redundant train (G.2.c). /\s used in E/\L #2, the 30 minutes to verify a single alarm is \VOii within this vv1orst case 1 hour time period. Depending upon the plant mode at the time of the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CA6 or-SA9-MA9. Reference(s):

Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. VALID - An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. Basis: This IC addresses the magnitude and extent of FIRES that may be indicative of a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. E/\L #1 The intent of the 15 minute duration is to size the FIRE and to discriminate against small FIRES that are readily extinguished (e.g., smoldering waste paper basket). In addition to alarms, other indications of a FIRE could be a drop in fire main pressure, automatic activation of a suppression system, etc. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of an initial fire alarm, indication, or report. For E/\L assessment purposes, the emergency declaration clock starts at the time that the initial alarm, indication, or report 'Nas received, and not the time that a subsequent verification action was performed. Similarly, the fire duration clock also starts at the time of receipt of the initial alarm, indication or report. E/\L #2 The 30 minute requirement begins upon receipt of a single VALID fire detection system alarm. The. alarm is to be validated using available Control Room indications or alarms to prove that it is not spurious, or by reports from the field. Actual field reports must be made within the 30 minute time limit or a classification must be made. If a fire is verified to be occurring by field report, classification shall be made based on EAL HU4.1, with the 15 minute requirement beginning with the verification of the fire by field report. Table H-1 Fire Areas are those.areas that contain equipment necessary for safe operation and

 -shutdown of the plant (ref. 1, 2).

This EAL addresses receipt of a single fire alarm, and the existence of a FIRE is not verified (i.e., proved or disproved) within 30-minutes of the alarm. Upon receipt, operators will take prompt actions to confirm the validity of a single fire alarm. For EAL assessment purposes, the 30-minute clock starts at the time that the initial alarm was received, and not the time that a , subsequent verification action was performed. With regard to Containment Building fire alarms, there is constant air movement in the enclosed containment due to the operation of the containment ventilation system. The operating cooling units are drawing air to the units past the smoke detectors. It can be reasonably expected that a fire that burns for 15 minutes would produce sufficient products of combustion to cause fire detectors in multiple zones to alarm. Therefore, a single Containment Building fire alarm is not considered VALID. Page 194 of 259

For,this reason, additional time is allowed to verify the validity of the alarm. The 30-minute period is a reasonable amount of time to determine if an actual FIRE exists; however, after that time, and absent information to the contrary, it is assumed that an actual FIRE is in progress. If an actual FIRE is verified by a report from the field, then HU4.1 EAL #1 is immediately applicable, and the emergency must be declared if the FIRE is not extinguished within 15-minutes of the report. If the alarm is verified to be due to an equipment failure or a spurious activation, and this verification occurs within 30-minutes of the receipt of the alarm, then this EAL is not applicable and no emergency declaration is warranted. EAL #3 In addition to a FIRE addressed by EAL #1 or EAL #2, a FIRE \Vithin the plant PROTECTED AREA not extinguished within 60 minutes may also potentially degrade the level of plant safety.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 Basis: This IC addresses an event involving a release of a hazardous gas that precludes or IMPEDES access to equipment necessary to maintain normal plant operation, or required for a normal plant cooldown and shutdown. This condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. An Alert declaration is warranted if entry into the affected room/area is, or may be, procedurally required during the plant operating mode in effect at the time of the gaseous release. The emergency classification is not contingent upon whether entry is actually necessary at the time of the release. Evaluation of the IC and EAL do not require atmospheric sampling; it only requires the Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS's judgment that the gas concentration in the affected room/area is sufficient to preclude or significantly IMPEDE procedurally required access. This judgment may be based on a variety of factors including an existing job hazard analysis, report of ill effects on personnel, advice from a subject matter expert or operating experience with the same or similar hazards. *Access should be considered as IMPEDED if extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected room/area (e.g., requiring use of protective equipment, such as SCBAs, that is not routinely employed). An emergency declaration is not warranted if any of the following conditions apply:

  • The plant is in an operating mode different than the mode specified for the affected room/area (i.e.; entry is not required during the operating mode in effect at the time of the gaseous release). For example, the plant is in Mode 1 when the gaseous release occurs, and the procedures used for normal operation, cooldown and shutdown do not require entry into the affected room until .Mode 4.
  • The gas release is a planned activity that includes compensatory measures which address the temporary inaccessibility of a room or area (e.g., fire suppression system testing).
  • The action for which room/area entry is required is of an administrative or record keeping nature (e.g., normal rounds or routine inspections).
  • The access control measures are of a conservative or precautionary nature, and would not actually prevent or IMPEDE a required action.
  • If the equipment in the listed room or area was already inoperable, or out-of-service, before the event occurred, then no emergency should be declared since the event will have no adverse impact beyond that already allowed by Technical Specifications at the time of the event.

An asphyxiant is a gas capable of reducing the level of oxygen in the body to dangerous levels. Most commonly, asphyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment. This reduces the concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness or even death. This EAL does not apply to firefighting activities that generate smoke and that automatically or manually activate a fire suppression system in an area , or to intentional inerting of containment (BVVR only). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via Recognition Category AR, M, C or F ICs. Page 203 of 259

The loss of the ability to control the plant from the Control Room is considered to be a potential substantial degradation in the level of plant safety. Following a Control Room evacuation, control of the plant will be transferred to alternate shutdown locations. The necessity to control a plant shutdown from outside the Control Room, in addition to responding to the event that required the evacuation of the Control Room, will present challenges to plant operators and other on-shift personnel. Activation of the ERO and emergency response facilities will assist in responding to these challenges. Transfer of plant control begins when the last licensed operator leaves the Control Room. Control will be established at Hot Shutdown Panel C-21 if the Control Room was evacuated for reasons other than a fire or smoke. Control will be established at Fire Shutdown Panel C-10 if the Control Room was evacuated due to a fire or smoke (ref. 1, 2). Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC HS6.

  • Reactivity (modes 1,* 2 and 3 only)
  • Core cooling
  • RCS heat removal Note 1: The DSEO/ADTS should declare the event promptly upon determining that the time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.

Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown, 5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling Definition(s): None Basis: This IC addresses an evacuation of the Control Room that results in transfer of plant control to alternate locations, and the control of a key safety function cannot be reestablished in a timely manner. The failure to.-gain control of a key safety function following a transfer of plant control to alternate locations is a precursor to a challenge to one or more fission product barriers within a relatively short period of time. The determination of whether or not "control" is established at the remote safe shutdown location(s) is based on Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS judgment. The Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS is expected to make a reasonable, informed judgment within 15 (the site specific time for transfer) minutes whether or not the operating staff has control of key safety functions from the remote safe shutdown location(s). Transfer of plant control and the time period to establish control begins when the last licensed operator leaves the Control Room. Control will be established at Hot Shutdown Panel C-21 if the Control Room was evacuated for reasons other than a fire or smoke. Control will be established at Fire Shutdown Panel C-10 if the Control Room was evacuated due to a fire or smoke (ref. 1, 2). Page 206 of 259

HOSTILE ACTION - An act toward MPS 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. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on MPS. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA). OWNER CONTROLLED AREA - The area within the SITE BOUNDARY including the PROTECTED AREA. PROJECTILE - An object directed toward a Nuclear Power Plant that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. PROTECTED AREA - The area within the Millstone Power Station security fence. Basis: This IC addresses unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency DirectorDSEO/ADTS to fall under the emergency classification level description_ for a GENERAL EMERGENCY.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B Category M - System Malfunction EAL Group: Hot Conditions (RCS temperature > 200°F); EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more hot operating modes. Numerous system-related equipment failure events that warrant emergency classification have been identified in this category. They may pose actual or potential threats to plant safety. The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

1. Loss of Emergency AC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite power sources for 4.16 KV emergency buses.
2. Loss of Vital DC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of power to or degraded voltage on the 125V DC vital buses.
3. Loss of Control Room Indications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively assess plant conditions within the plant warrant emergency classification. Losses of indicators are in this subcategory.
4. RCS Activity During normal operation, reactor coolant fission product activity is very low. Small concentrations of fission products in the coolant are primarily from the fission of tramp uranium in the fuel clad or minor perforations in the clad itself. Any significant rise from these base-line levels (2% - 5% clad failures) is indicative of fuel failures and is covered under the Fission Product Barrier Degradation category. However, lesser amounts of clad damage may result in coolant activity exceeding Technical Specification limits. These fission products will be circulated with the reactor coolant and can be detected by coolant sampling. * *
5. RCS Leakage I

The reactor vessel provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The reactor pressure vessel and associated pressure piping (reactor coolant system) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail. Excessive RCS leakage greater than Technical Specification limits indicates potential pipe cracks that may propagate to an extent threatening fuel clad, RCS and containment integrity.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28

6. RPS Failure This subcategory includes events related to failure of the Reactor Protection System (RPS),

to initiate and complete reactor trips. In the plant licensing basis, postulated failures of the RPS to complete a reactor trip comprise a specific set of analyzed events referred to as Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) events. For EAL classification, however, A TWS is intended to mean any scram failure event that does not achieve reactor shutdown. If RPS actuation fails to properly result in reactor shutdown, positive control of reactivity is at risk and could cause a threat to fuel clad, RCS and containment integrity.

7. Loss of Communications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.
8. Containment Failure Failure of containment isolation capability (under conditions in which the containment is not currently challenged) warrants emergency classification. Failure of containment pressure control c;:apability also warrants emergency classification.
9. Hazardous Event Affecting Safety Systems Various natural and technological events that result in degraded plant safety system train performance or significant VISIBLE DAMAGE warrant emergency classification under this subcategory.

The offsite AC power sources annotated "(if already aligned)" require more than 15 minutes to establish and therefore are only credited if the source was already aligned at the time of AC power loss. This IC addresses a prolonged loss of offsite power. The loss of offsite.power sources renders the plant more vulnerable to a complete loss of power to AC emergency buses. This condition represents a potential reduction in the level of safety of the plant.

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-4 7 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B For emergency classification purposes, "capability" means that an offsite AC power source(s) is available to the emergency buses, whether or not the buses are powered from it. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of offsite power. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SMMA 1. Under normal conditions, four 345 kV lines will be in service to connect the Millstone Station to the main electric system. The emergency buses powering equipment for safe shutdown are 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3), 24D (A4 ), and 24E (AS). 4.16 kV emergency bus 24E (AS) may be fed from either 24C or 24D. The associated 480 V emergency buses are 22E (fed from 24C) and 22F (fed from 24D). MPS2 has the following methods available to provide power to the 4.16 kV emergency buses (ref. 1, 2, 3):

  • The Normal Station Service Transformer (NSST). During normal power operation, power is supplied to buses 24A (A 1) and 248 (A2). Bus ties connect to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 24D (A4 ). Additionally, the NSST may be used during shutdown and when maintenance is being performed on the Reserve Station Service Transformer by removing links for the main generator and providing power through the 15G-8T-2 or 15G-9T-2 breakers.
  • The Unit 2 Reserve Station Service Transformer (RSST). This is the connection to the utility system for the preferred power supply. During other periods, such as startup and shutdown when the NSST is not used, power is supplied from the Unit 2 RSST directly to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 24D (A4).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-12U(H7A) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24C(A3).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-13U(H78) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24D(A4).
  • Unit 3 supplying power through bus 34A/34B to emergency bus 24E. This is controlled by procedure. However, there are power limitations when using this method to supply MPS2 buses when Millstone 3 bus 34A/34B is being used.

Basis: Table M-1 provides a list of offsite and onsite AC electrical power sources credited for this EAL. AC power sources annotated "(if already aligned)" require more than 15 minutes to establish and therefore are only credited if the source was already aligned at the time of AC power loss. The SBO Diesel Generator meets the definition for an Alternate AC power source per 10CFR50.2. This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safety-related equipment. This IC provides an escalation path from IC S-Y-4MU1. An "AC power source" is a source recognized in AOPs and EOPs, and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.

  • A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency power source (e.g., an onsite diesel generator).
  • A loss of all offsite power and loss of all emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being back-fed from the unit main generatorUnit 3.
  • A loss of emergency power sources (e.g., onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being fed or back-fed from an offsite power source.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SS4MS1. This hot condition EAL is equivalent to the cold condition EAL CU2.1. Under normal conditions, four 345 kV lines will be in service to connect the Millstone Station to the main electric system.

This will allow additional time for implementation of offsite protective actions. Escalation of the emergency classification from Site /\.rea Emergency will occur if it is pr9:iected that pmver cannot be restored to at least one AG emergency bus by the end of the analyzed station blackout coping period. Beyond this time, plant responses and event trajectory are subject to greater uncertainty, and there is an increased likelihood of challenges to multiple fission product barriers. The estimate for restoring at least one emergency bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation. Mitigation actions with a low probability of success should not be used as a basis for delaying a classification upgrade. The goal is to maximize the time available to prepare for, and implement, protective actions for the public. The EAL will atso-require§ a General Emergency declaration if the loss of AC power results in parameters that indicate an inability to adequately remove decay heat from the core.

In the event that either battery system is out of service, it is possible through interlocked circuit breakers to feed both battery buses from one battery. Each of the vital batteries supplies control logic, field flashing and breaker control for one diesel generator. They also supply power to a backup DC motor driven starting air compressor for each diesel generator, emergency lighting, turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump (Terry Turbine) controls (bus 2018), and 125 VDC/120 VAC inverters for vital instrumentation. The four vital 120 VAC instrumentation panels power reactor protection, engineered safety features and vital instrumentation which is normally supplied by four physically isolated and electrically independent inverters, two of which are supplied by each of the two redundant batteries 201A and 201 B (ref. 1). Each.of the four vital instrumentation panels has an alternate power supply via a "zero break" static transfer switch. Vital 120 VAC instrumentation channels 1 and 2 can be fed from separate DC/AC inverters whose power source is the turbine battery (i.e. 201 D). Vital 120 VAC instrumentation channels 3 and 4 can be fed from one of the two regulated AC instrument power panels. Page 225 of 259

Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s): SAFETY SYSTEM - A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFR50.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures. Basis: This IC addresses a concurrent and prolonged loss of both emergency AC and vital DC power. A loss of all emergency AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A loss of vital DC power compromises the ability to monitor and control SAFETY SYSTEMS. A sustained loss of both emergency AC and vital DC power will lead to multiple challenges to fission product barriers. For this EAL credit can be taken for any AC power source that has sufficient capability to operate equipment necessary to maintain a safe shutdown condition. such .as the Unit 3 SBO diesel or FLEX generators. provided it can be aligned within the 15 minute classification criteria {ref. 1. 2. 3. 4).

The Vital (Class 1 E) 125 V DC power system consists of two physically and electrically separated redundant buses - Bus 201A and Bus 2018. Each bus has a 60 cell battery bank with an eight-hour rating of 2300 amp-hours, with an operating range of 105 Volts to 140 Volts.

Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. The 15-minute emergency declaration clock begins at the point when both EAL thresholds are met. Under normal conditions, four 345 kV lines will be in service to connect the Millstone Station to the main electric system. The emergency buses powering equipment for safe shutdown are 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3), 240 (A4 ), and 24E (AS). 4.16 kV emergency bus 24E (AS) may be fed from either 24C or 240. The associated 480 V emergency buses are 22E (fed from 24C) and 22F (fed from 240). MPS2 has the following methods available to provide power to the 4.16 kV emergency buses (ref. 1, 2, 3):

  • The Normal Station Service Transformer (NSST). During normal power operation, power is supplied to buses 24A (A 1) and 248 (A2). Bus ties connect to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 240 (A4). Additionally, the NSST may be used during shutdown and when maintenance is being performed on the Reserve Station Service Transformer by removing links for the main generator and providing power through the 15G-8T-2 or 15G-9T-2 breakers.
  • The Unit 2 Reserve Station Service Transformer (RSST). This is the connection to the utility system for the preferred power supply. During other periods, such as startup and shutdown when the NSST is not used, power is supplied from the Unit 2 RSST directly to 4.16 kV emergency buses 24C (A3) and 240 (A4 ).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-12U(H7A) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24C(A3).
  • Diesel Generator 15G-13U(H7B) supplying 4.16 kV emergency bus 24D(A4 ).
  • Unit 3 supplying power through bus 34A/34B to emergency bus 24E. This is controlled by procedure. However, there are power limitations when using this method to supply MPS2 buses when Millstone 3 bus 34A/34B is being used.

The Plant Process Computer System and Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) serve as redundant indicators which may be utilized as compensatory measures in lieu of the Control Room indicators associated with safety functions (ref. 1. 2). This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring normal plant conditions without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. As used in this EAL, an "inability to monitor" means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog, digital and recorder source within the Control Room.

The event would be reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In particular, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures, emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedures addressing emergency classification, accident assessment, or protective action decision-making.

This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, core cooling [PV'IR] I RPV level [BV1/R] and RCS heat removal.

1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s): None Basis: This IC addresses a reactor coolant activity value that exceeds an allowable limit specified in Technical Specifications. This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Per Engineering Calculation RA-0059, dose rate is assumed to result from radioactive iodines {1-131 thru 1-135) in RCS in concentrations corresponding to 60 µCi/gm DEl-131. This value corresponds to the Technical Specification coolant activity limit for iodine spike at full power operations. The values contained in Table M-4 (Tech. Spec. Coolant Activity Dore Rates) represent expected one foot dose rates per ml of sample based on time since reactor shutdown to the time when the sample is taken. Time after shutdown values are provided to account for radioactive decay. The expected dose rate is a near linear relationship with the volume of the sample. so any volume collected can be determined by dividing the measured dose rate by the sample volume and comparing to the threshold value from Table M-4 for the applicable time frame. These dose rates assume no emergency core cooling system (ECCS) injection so there is no dilution credited which would vary coolant volume. Values in the table have been rounded for ease of use. The > 8 hour threshold is conservative up to 24 hours following reactor shutdown. After 24 hours, the expected response from radioactive iodine levels off. Therefore. the value shown for > 8 hours applies for all samples taken 8 hours or more since reactor shutdown. The values specified in Table M-4 were developed using a method to minimize error(+/-) for the threshold value within each defined time period. Values were chosen to minimize error from the highest to lowest dose rate within each range. Page 235 of 259

OR RCS identified leakage > 25 gpm for ~15 min. OR Leakage from the RCS to a location outside containment > 25 gpm for >15 min. (Note 1) Note 1: The DSEO/ADTS should declare the event promptly upon determining that the time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded. Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s): UN/SOLABLE - An open or breached system line that cannot be isolated, remotely or locally. Basis: The 15-minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to isolate the leakage, if possible. Once the RCS leak rate has been quantified to be greater than the specified value, failure to isolate the leak within 15 minutes, or if known that the leak cannot be isolated within 15 minutes, from the time of leak rate quantification, requires immediate classification. This IC addresses RCS leakage which may be a precursor to a more significant event. In this case, RCS leakage has been detected and operators, following applicable procedures, have been unable to promptly isolate the leak. This condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The first and second EAL conditions EAL #1 and EAL #2 are focused on a loss of mass from the RCS due to "unidentified leakage", "pressure boundary leakage" or "identified leakage" (as these leakage types are defined in the plant Technical Specifications). The third condition Ab

The leak rate values for each condition Ab-were selected because they are usually observable with normal Control Room indications. Lesser values typically require time-consuming calculations to determine (e.g., a mass balance calculation). The first condition EAL #1 uses a lower value that reflects the greater significance of unidentified or pressure boundary leakage. Page 238 of 259

Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup Definition(s): IMMINENT - The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions. Basis: This G--EAL addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor (trip [Pl/1/R] I scram [Bl/1/R])that results in a reactor shutdown, and either a subsequent operator manual action taken at the reactor control consoles or an automatic {trip [PL 11/R] I scram [Bll'/R]) (i.e., any subsequent RPS setpoint trip) is successful in shutting down the reactor. This event is a precursor to a more significant condition and thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. This EAL is applicable in Mode 2 as well as Mode 1 since the power level specified in the reactivity control Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria is below the Mode 2 to Mode 1 transition power of 5% (ref. 1). Following the failure on an automatic reactor {trip[Pll'/R] I scram [BWR]), operators will promptly initiate manual actions at the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor {trip[Pll'/R] I scram [Bll'/R]) by either pushing the RX TRIP TCBS buttons or tripping the MG Set Output Breakers (80505 AND 80608)). If either of these manual actions are successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. If an initial manual reactor (trip [PL 11/R] I scram [Bll'/R])is unsuccessful, operators \Viii promptly take manual action at another location(s) on the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor (trip[Pll'/R] I scram [BL11/R])) using a different switch). Depending upon several factors, the initial or subsequent effort to manually (trip [PL11/R] / scram Page 240 of 259

If a subsequent manual or automatic (trip [PV1/R] I scram [BV'IR]) is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. A manual action at the reactor control consoles console (Panel C04) is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor {trip by either pushing the RX TRIP TCBS buttons or tripping the MG Set Output Breakers (B0505 AND B0608) [PV'IR] I scram [BV1/R])). This action does not include opening the reactor trip feeder breakers locally, manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. Actions taken at back panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control consoles". Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to SHUTDOVVN is considered to be a manual scram action. [BV'IR] The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor (trip[PVVR] / scram [BVVR]) will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are also unsuccessful in shutting down the reactor, then the emergency classification level will escalate to an Alert via IC SMMA6. Depending upon the plant response, escalation is also possible via IC FA 1. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC Me-MA6 or FA1, an Unusual Event declaration is appropriate for this event. A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable Emergency Operating Procedure criteria (ref. 3, 4 ). Should a reactor {trip [PVVR] I scram [BVVR])signal be generated as a result of plant work (e.g., RPS setpoint testing), the following classification guidance should be applied.

  • If the signal causes a plant transient that should have included an automatic reactor {trip

[PVVR] / scram [BVVR])and the RPS fails to automatically shutdown the reactor, then this IC and the EALs are applicable, and should be evaluated.

  • If the signal does not cause a plant transient and the {trip [PWR] / scram [BVVR])failure is determined through other means (e.g., assessment of test results), then this IC and the EALs are not applicable and no classification is warranted.

In the event that the operator identifies a reactor trip is IMMINENT and initiates a successful manual reactor trip before the automatic RPS trip setpoint is reached, no declaration is required. The successful manual trip of the reactor before it reaches its automatic trip setpoint or reactor trip signals caused by instrumentation channel failures do not lead to a potential fission product barrier loss. However, if subsequent manual reactor trip actions* fail to shutdown the reactor, the event escalates to the Alert under EAL MA6.1. Reference(s):

Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup Definition(s): None Basis: This G-EAL addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic OF§ manual reactor ftrip [Pl/1/R] / scram [8111/R]) that results in a reactor shutdown, and either a subsequent operator manual action taken at the reactor control consoles or an automatic ftrip[Pl/1/R] / scram [8111/R]) is successful in shutting down the reactor. This event is a precursor to a more significant condition and thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Follov:ing the failure on an automatic reactor (trip[Pl/1/R] / scram [8111/R]), operators will promptly initiate manual actions at the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor (trip[Pl/1/R] / scram [8111/R])). If these manual actions are successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. This EAL is applicable in Mode 2 as well as Mode 1 since the power level specified in the reactivity control Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria is below the Mode 2 to Mode 1 transition power of 5% (ref. 1). If an initial manual reactor ftrip[Pl/1/R] / scram [8111/R]) is unsuccessful, operators will promptly take manual action§ at another other location(s) eR-away from the reactor control consoles to shutdown the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor ftrip[Pl/1/R] / scram [8111/R])) using a different svvitch!;!y opening the reactor trip feeder breakers locally) (ref. 3). However, those actions are not credited as a successful manual reactor trip for this EAL. Page 243 of 259

If a subsequent manual or automatic {trip [PVIR] I scram [BV'/R])is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. A manual action at the reactor control consoles (Panel C04) is any operator action, or set of actions, which causes the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor {trip by pushing the RX TRIP TCBS buttons or tripping the MG Set Output Breakers (80505 AND 80608) [PV'IR] l scram [BV'/R])). This action does not include opening the reactor trip feeder breakers locally, manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. Actions taken at back panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be "at the reactor control consoles". Taking the Reactor Mode Switch to SHUTDOVVN is considered to be a manual scram action. [BV'IR] The plant response to the failure of an automatic or manual reactor {trip [PWR] / scram [BVVR]) will vary based upon several factors including the reactor power level prior to the event, availability of the condenser, performance of mitigation equipment and actions, other concurrent plant conditions, etc. If subsequent operator manual actions taken at the reactor control consoles are also unsuccessful in shutting down the reactor, then the emergency classification level will escalate to an Alert via IC S/\5. Depending upon the plant response, escalation is also possible via IC FA 1. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC SAa--MA6 or FA1, an Unusual Event declaration is appropriate for this event. A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable Emergency Operating Procedure criteria (ref. 3, 4 ). Should a reactor {trip [PVVR] / scram [BVVR]) signal be generated as a result of plant work (e.g., RPS setpoint testing), the following classification guidance should be applied.

  • If the signal causes a plant transient that should have included an automatic reactor {trip

[PVVR] / scram [BVVR]) and the RPS fails to automatically shutdown the reactor, then this IC and the EALs are applicable, and should be evaluated.

  • If the signal does not cause a plant transient and the {trip [PVVR] / scram [BVVR]) failure is determined through other means (e.g., assessment of test results), then this IC and the EALs are not applicable and no classification is warranted.

1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup Definition(s): None B~sis: This .J.G..EAL addresses a failure of the RPS to initiate or complete an automatic reactor trip or failure of a manual reactor ftrip [Pv'IR] l scram [Bl/1/R]) that results in a reactor shutdown, all subsequent operator actions to manually shutdown the reactor are unsuccessful, and continued power generation is challenging the capability to adequately remove heat from the core and/or the RCS. This condition will lead to fuel damage if additional mitigation actions are unsuccessful and thus warrants the declaration of a Site Area Emergency. This EAL is applicable in Mode 2 as well as Mode 1 since the power level specified in the reactivity control Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria is below the Mode 2 to Mode 1 transition power of 5% (ref. 1). Reactor shutdown achieved by use of other actions such as opening supply breakers, emergency boration, or manually driving control rods are also credited for achieving a successful shutdown provided reactivity control Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria are met before indications of an extreme challenge to either core cooling or heat removal exist. In some instances, the emergency classification resulting from this IC/EAL may be higher than that resulting from an assessment of the plant responses and symptoms against the Recognition Category F ICs/EALs. This is appropriate in that the Recognition Category F Page 247 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 2B ICs/EALs do not address the additiona.1 threat posed by a failure to shut_down the reactor. The inclusion of this IC and EAL ensures the timely declaration of a Site Area Emergency in response to prolonged failure to shut_down the reactor. A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable Emergency Operating Procedure criteria (ref. 3, 4). The SAMGs use a CET temperature of 1200 °F as an entry condition and the temperature indicative of a badly damaged core (ref. 7, 8). This reading indicates temperatures within the core are sufficient to cause significant superheating of reactor coolant. Failure to meet the applicable HR acceptance criteria indicates an extreme challenge to the ability to remove RCS heat using the steam generators (i.e .. loss of an effective secondary-side heat sink). There are three defined and potentially applicable RCS and Core Heat Removal (HR) Safety Function Status Check acceptance criteria conditions (ref. 5. 6):

  • HR SG Heat Sink With No SI Operating
  • HR SG Heat Sink With SI Operating
  • HR Once-Through-Cooling Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC AG4-RG1 or FG1.

Note 11: One full train of containment heat removal systems consist of one Containment Spray pump and two containment air recirculation units in the Containment Air Recirculation and Cooling System.

  • Mode Applicability:

1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s): VALID -An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid wheri it is verified_ by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. Basis: This -IG-EAL addresses a failure of one or more containment penetrations to automatically isolate (close) when required by an actuation signal. It also addresses an event that results in high containment pressure with a concurrent failure of containment pressure control systems. Absent challenges to another fission product barrier, either condition represents potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. For EAL #1the first condition, the containment isolation signal (CIAS) must be generated as the result on an off-normal/accident condition (e.g., a safety injection or high containment pressure); a failure resulting from testing or maintenance does not warrant classification. The determination of containment and penetration status - isolated or not isolated - should be made in accordance with the appropriate criteria contained in the plant AOPs and EOPs. The 15-minute criterion is included to allow operators time to manually isolate the required penetrations, if possible. EAL #2The second condition addresses a condition where containment pressure is greater than the setpoint (9.48 psig rounded to 10 psig for readability) at which containment energy . (heat) removal systems are designed to automatically actuate, and less than one full train of equipment is capable of operating per design (ref. 1. 2).

The combination of required equipment can be obtained from using equipment on either emergency bus in order to meet the "one full train" requirement (ref. 3). The 15-minute criterion is included to allow operators time to manually start equipment that may not have automatically started, if possible. The inability to start the required equipment indicates that containment heat removal/depressurization systems (e.g., containment sprays et= ice condenser fans) are either lost or performing in a degraded manner. This event would escalate to a Site Area Emergency in accordance with IC FS1 if there were a concurrent loss or potential loss of either the Fuel Clad or RCS fission product barriers. Reference{s):

Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present. FIRE - Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. FLOODING - A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area. SAFETY SYSTEM - A system required for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the cold shutdown condition, including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in 10CFR50.2): Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure: (1) The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary; (2) The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (3) The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could re~ult in potential offsite exposures. VISIBLE DAMAGE - Damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected SAFETY SYSTEM train. Basis: This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to SAFETY SYSTEMS needed for the current operating mode. In order to provide the appropriate context for consideration of an ALERT classification, the hazardous event must have caused indications of degraded SAFETY SYSTEM performance in one train, and there must be either indications of performance issues with the second SAFETY SYSTEM train or VISIBLE DAMAGE to the second train such that the potential exists for this second SAFETY SYSTEM train to have performance issues. In other words, in order for this EAL to be classified, the hazardous event must occur, at least one SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance, and the second SAFETY SYSTEM train must have indications of degraded performance or VISIBLE DAMAGE such that the potential exists for performance issues. Note that this second SAFETY SYSTEM train is from the same SAFETY SYSTEM that has indications of degraded performance; commercial nuclear power plants are designed to be able to support single system issues without compromising public health and safety from radiological events. Indications of degraded performance addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significantenough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. VISIBLE DAMAGE addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is not in service/operation and that potentially could cause performance issues. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the Page 254 of 259

Millstone Power Station Unit 2 Serial No. 18-364 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document Docket Nos. 50-336; 72-47 Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Enclosure 3; Attachment 28 damage. This VISIBLE DAMAGE should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM, or a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components, needed for the current operating mode. This condition significantly reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier, and therefore represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. E/\L 1.b.1 addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it 1.vill be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train. E/\L 1.b.2 addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM component that is not in service/operation or readily apparent through indications alone, or to a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components. Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to be a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage. An event affecting equipment common to two or more trains of a safety system (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the common equipment) should be classified as an Alert under this EAL, as appropriate to the plant mode. By affecting the functionality of multiple trains of a safety system, the loss of the common equipment effectively meets the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and bases. An event affecting a single-train safety system (i.e., there are indications of degraded performance and/or VISIBLE DAMAGE affecting the one train) would not be classified under this EAL because the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and bases would not be met. If an event affects a single-train safety system, then the emergency classification should be made based on plant parameters/symptoms meeting the EALs for another IC. Depending upon the circumstances, classification may also occur based on Shift Manager/DSEO/ADTS ,judgement. An event that affects two trains of a safety system (e.g., one train has indications of degraded performance and the other VISIBLE DAMAGE) that also has one or more additional trains should be classified as an Alert under this EAL. as appropriate to the plant mode. This approach maintains consistency with the two-train impact criteria that underlie the EALs and bases, and is warranted because the event was severe enough to affect the functionality of. two trains of a safety system despite plant design criteria associated with system and system train separation and protection. Such an event may have caused other plant impacts that are not immediately apparent. Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC FS1 or AS4RS1.

Background

NEI 99-01 Revision 6 ICs M3 and HA5 prescribe declaration of an Alert based on IMPEDED access to rooms or areas (due to either area radiation levels or hazardous gas concentrations) where equipment necessary for normal plant operations, cooldown or shutdown is located. These areas are intended to be plant operating mode dependent. Specifically the Developers Notes for M3 and HA5 states: The "site-specific list of plant rooms or areas with entry-related mode applicability identified" should specify those rooms or areas that contain equipment which require a manual/local

  • action as specified in operating procedures used for normal plant operation, coo/down and shutdown. Do not include rooms or areas in which actions of a contingent or emergency nature would be performed (e.g., an action to address an off-normal or emergency condition such as emergency repairs, corrective measures or emergency operations). In addition, the list should specify the plant mode(s) during which entry would be required for each room or area.

The list should not include rooms or areas for Which entry is required solely to perform actions of an administrative or record keeping nature (e.g., normal rounds or routine inspections). Further, as specified in IC HA5: The list need not include the Control Room if adequate engineered safety/design features are in place to preclude a Control Room evacuation due to the release of a hazardous gas.
