4 EIERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EVALUATION REPORT BY THE DIVISION OF EMERGENCY PREPARED ESS OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM 3. MCCUIRE NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NOS. 50-369, 370 FE3RUARY 1981 l-m

/

v

IST!:0ht'CTION The Nucicar Regulatory Ca mission's (NRC) evaluation of the state of emergency preparedness associated with the McGuire Nuclear Station in-volves review of the licensee's onsite emergency preparedness plus review of the Federal Emergency "anagement Agency (FEMA) findings and deter =inations pertaining to State and local emergency preparedness. This evaluation report only addresses the licensee's emergency preparedness. A subsequent supple-ment to this report will address the FEMA findings and determinations and provide the NRC's overall conclusions on the status of emergency prepared-ness associated with the McGuire site.

The Duke Power Company (Duke, licensee) filed with the NRC comprehensive revisions to the McGuire Nuclear Station E=crgency Plan (Plan) by letters dated August 25, 1980 and February 13, 1981. The staff has reviewed these revisions to the Plan. Previously, the staff had reviewed preliminary versions of the Plan, conducted a site visit to the facility, and held a local public meeting on emergency preparedness.

The Plan was reviewed against the sixteen planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47, the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, and the specific criteria of NUREG-0634/ FEMA-REP-1 entitled " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluatica of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", Rev. 1, November 1980.

This evaluation report follows the format of Part II of NUREG-0634. Each of the Planning Standards is listed and followed by a su==ary of applicable portions of the Plan that relate principally to that specific standard.

The conclusions of the staff review are provided in Part II of this Report.

e EVAL"ATION OF LICE!:SEE E C CE::CY PLM:

1.

EVALUATION h.

Assig5$cnt of Responsibility (Organization Control)

Standard Pri=ary responsibilities for c=c gency response by the nuclear facility licensee and by State and local organi:ations within the E=ergency Planning Zones (EPZ) have been assigned, the emergency responsibilities of the various supporting organi:ations have been specifically established, and each principal response organi:ation has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.

Licensee E=ergency Plan Evaluation tihen an e=ergency condition arises, the shif t supervisor is designated as the Emergency Coordinator and it is his responsibility to evaluate the situation.

If, in his judg=ent, conditions =eet or exceed any of the emergency classification action levels, it is his responsi-bility to implement the Plan. There is 24-hour per day co==unica-tion linkage capability between the station and Federal, State and local response agencies and organi=ations to ensure rapid trans=ittal of accurate notification information and e=ergency assess =ent data.

The Plan clearly defines the authority, responsibility, and duties.

of station staff personnel for coping with e=ergencies, both the nor=al operating staff and the aug=ented staff. The operational relationships between the onsite c=ergency centers and offsite agencies are identified. The Duke Power Co=pany Crises Manage =ent Plan details the corporate organi:stion for coping with.e=ergencies, in'.luding the corporate augmentation of the station organization.

The individual responsible for assuring continuity of licensee resources and overall =anagement of the e=ergency and recovery oper-ation is the Recovery Manager.

The Plan describes the functions and responsibilities of each. State and local organi:ation with a response role. The principal State organization with responsibility for planning and for =obilisation of State resources to cope with an e=ergency is the E=ergency Manage = cat Division within the Department of Cri=e Control and Public Safety. This organization is supported by the Radiation Protection 3 ranch of the Department of Hu=an Resources, for radiological assess =ent and pro-tection functions, and by other State agencies. For an e=ergency situation, the State organi:stions =obili:e as the State E=ergency Response Team (SERT) at Charlotte, N.C.

The SERT is the pri=ary response authority for the State. The principal local agency having planning and action responsibilities for emergencies is the Civil Pre-paredness Agency for Mecklenburg County. The Catawba County Depart-

=ent of E crgency Manage =ent, Caston County Depart =ent of E=ergency Manage =cnt, Iredell County Civil Preparedness Agency, and Lincoln County Dcps t= cat of E=c:gency Manage =ent are responsible for i=ple-

=entin; protecti"e actions withir thei: respective counties.

. The "cCuire Station, in the event of an c=:rrency, will contact by telephont the State warning point and :he warning points for Catawba, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, and ':ccklenburg counties.

These Jacilities are manned on a 24-hour per day basis. Arrange-

=ents have been made for the counties to acco=plish protective actions based upon licensee protective action reco=mendations.

Updated written agrec=ents have been enecuted with appropriate Federal, State and local agencies and organizations to provide for radiological support, medical assistance, =edical transporta-tion, and fire protection during an c=crgency. The e=ergency plans of the five surrounding counties provide for law enforce =ent, social services, medical services and e=ergency protective actions.

B.

Onsite Escreenev Oreanization Standard On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for e=ergency responses are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial cacility accident response in key functional areas is salat:ined at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is avai:-

able, and the interfaces a=ong various onsite response activitios and of fsite support and response activities are specified.

Licensee Emergenev Plan Evaluation In an emergency situation, the Shif t Supervisor assumes the function of Emergency Coordinator and, as suca, has the authority and responsi-bility to implement the Plan and initiate any necessary emergency actions, including notification of and reco=mendation of protective actions to local authorities. Thr, Station Manager, or his designee, assu=es the position of Emergency Coordinator upon his arrival at the Technical Support Center. Tt.e functional responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator are es:ablished and the Plan clearly specifies that he may not delegate the responsibility to notify and make protective action recommendations te offsite authorities.

Station staff emergency assign =ents have been made and the relation-ship between the emergency organization and normal staff co=plement are specified in the Plan. Pcsitions and/or titles of shift and plant staff personnel, both on and offsite, assigned e=ergency functional duties are listed. Minimum shift manning require =ents are in the Plan and provisions for timely shif t aug=entation are provided. The specified shift staffing for single unit operation satisfies the criteria in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654..The aug=enta_tio,n capability, with the exception of staff augmentation within one-half hour and the absence of an instrument and control technician, also satisfies the criteria in Table B-1.

3_

The Plan, together with the Duke Power Company Crises Manage:ent I'lan, establishes the framework for a long term augmented licenree c=cr;ency organization. This organization, under the Recovery Manager, is utilized for the direction and control of all emergency and recovery activities and is located at the near-site Crises Management Center (i.e. Emergency Operations Facility).

Actuation of the Crises Manage =ent Center occurs for an Alert, Site Area E=ergency, or General E=ergency.

Interfaces between and among the Crises Management Center staff, the station staff, govern-mental and private sector organizations, and technical and/or engineering contractor groups have been clearly specified.

The following item requires resolution:

1.

A commitment is needed to correct the deficiencies in aug=ented staf fing capability to meet criteria of Table B-1, NUREG-C654 by September 1, 1981.

C.

Emcreency Response Supeort and Resources Standard Arrangements for requesting and effectively using assistance re-sources have been made, arrange =ents to accommodate State and local staff at the licensee's near-site E=ergency Operations Facility have been made, and other organizations capable of augmenting the planned response have been identified.

Licensee E=ereeney Plan Evaluation Arrange =ents for requesting and utilizing outside resources have been made including authoricy to request i=plementation of the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan by either the Emergency Coordinator or Recovery Manager. Technical and administrative assistance, in addition to the Crises Management Center organization, is available from the corporate organization.

Arrangements have been made for assistance frem the plant contractors.

The Plan describes the radiological laboratories and the associated capabilities and expected response times. Fixed laboratory facilities exist at the station, the Crises Manage =ent Center, and the near-site Duke Power Enviro== ental Laboratory. 3ackup licensee facilities are available at the Catawba Nuclear Station (45 miles) and Oconee Nuclear Station (160 miles).

The Crises Manage =ent Center organization provides for dispatching licensee representatives to the principal govern = ental e:ergency operations centers. The Crises Manage ent Center is designed to acco==edate representatives from Federal, State, and local govern-mental agencies, as well as representatives from contractor and other suppcrt groups. The Crises Management Center is within one mile of the station and is the central data collection point for previdinn information needed by pri=ary response agencias for imple-m neation of protective actions.

_4-D.

E=ercenev Classification Svste:

Standard A standard emergency classification and action level sche =e, the basis of which include f acility syste= and effluent para =eters is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on infor=ation provided by facility licensees for deter =inations of =ini=u= initial re-sponse =easures.

Licensee E=erzenev Plan Evaluation The four standard emergency classes (i.e., Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General E=crgency) have been established by the licensee. E=ergency Action Levels (EALs) are established based upon onsite and offsite radiation =onitoring infor=ation and upon readings fro = various reactor sensors. These EAls are used for rapid classification of e=ergency situations. The EALs are observable and =easurable and, in general, are identified using specific instru=entation, para =eters, and equip =ent status. Tae e=ergency classifiestion and action level schc=e is consistent with the criteria of Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654. However, certain of the EALs =ust be identified in = ore specific detail.

Station i=ple=enting procedures contain specific infor=ation and guidance for evaluating an e=ergency situation and the appropriate actions to be taken.

The following ite= requires resolution:

1.

Specific identification of ELLS.

E.

Notification Methods and Procedures Standard Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee, of State and local recponse organi=ations and for notification of e=er-zen,cy, personnel by all response organizations; the content of initial and followup =essages to response organi:stions and the public has been established; and =eans to provide early notification and clear instructions to the populace within the plu=e exposure pathway E=ergency Planning Zone have been established.

Licensee E=erzenev Plan Evaluation Procedures have been established for notification of State and local response organizations in case of e=ergency. The E=ergency Coordina-tor has been given the authority and esponsibility to =ake pro =pt notification to these agencies and to initiate activation of the Ncrth Carolina Radiological E=ergency Response Plan in Support of Fixed Nuclear Facilities and the c=er;cncy plans of the five local L

. counties. The Plan has establishtd proccdures which describe mutually agreeable bases for notification of offsite response organitations consistent with the standard emergency classifi-cation and action sche =e set forth in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0634 The Plan has established procedures for notifying, alerting, and mobilizing licensee e=ergency response personnel, including both station and corporate staff.

The infor=ation to be reported to the offsite agencies in the event of an e=ergency has been predetermined in accordance with the reces-mendations in NUREG-0654 and the format of the notification

~

messages is included in the Plan. A means for verification of the messages has been provided. The Plan specifies the support-ing information to be provided for inclusion in written =essages intended for release to the public, including reco== ended pro-tective actions.

The licensee is currently developing an alert and notification system to be. used to promptly inform the public within the plume exposure pathway E=ergency Planning Zone. The licensee has not described the system, but has committed to meet the criteria of Appendix 3 to NUREO-0654 and to have the system oper,at,ional, by July 1, 1981.

F.

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS Standard Provisions exist for pro =pt co==unications among principal response organizations to e=ergency personnel and to the public.

Licensee Emergency Plan Evaluation The station communication system is designed to provide secure, redundant and diverse ec==unications to all essential onsite and offsite locations during normal operations and under accident conditions. Within-station systcss are comprised of a ec==ercial celephone system, station telephone system, public-address system, radio networks, and intercom systems. Offsite systems are cc prised of a co==ercial telephone system, a microwave system, and two-way radio systems. Two separate co=mercial telephone lines are dedi-cated to NRC co==unications.

These co==unications systems are located in plant areas manned 24-hours per day. The E=ergency Coordinator will, in e=ergency situations, co==unicate directly with the State Warning Point at Raleigh, North Carolina, the dispatchers at each of the five sur-rounding counties, and the NRC. Thesa govern = ental offices are manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day. Cc==unications between the Control Roc,

Licensee E=cr;cncy plan Evaluation Emergency facilitics needed to support an e=ergency response have been provided including a Technical Support Center, E=ergency Opera-tions Facility (en:itled the Crises Manage =ent Center), and an Operations Support Center. Each will be ac:ivated for an Alert or higher e=crgency classification.

The Technical Support Center has been established in the sa=e build-ing as, and in close proxi=ity to, the Control Rco=.

The Technical Support Center will be used by plant =anage=ent and technical and engineering support personnel directly involved in assess =ent of plant accident response and =itigation. It contains equip =ent to display plant status and diagnostic information necessary to support the e=ersency organi:ation.

The Crises Manage =ent Concer will be utilized to evaluate and coordinate e=ergency and re-entry / recovery operations on a continuing basis by the licensee, Federal and State officials. It vill also be the center for receipt and analysis of field =enitoring infor=ation. The Crises Manage-

=ent Center is located at the licensee's Training and Technology Center within one =ile of the site. The licensee has =ade provisions for an alternate Emergency Operations Facility at the corporate head-quar:ers in Charlocce, N. C.

The Operations Support Center (asse=bly areal is located adjacent to the Control Roo= and will be the 3asse=oly point for unassigned support personnel. E=ergency equip =ent and supplies are readily available.

The licensee's e=ergency facilities satisfy the interi= staff criteria.

The finalised staff cri:eria for a per:anent Technical Support Center and E=ergency Operations Facility are contained in NCREG-0696, February, 1981. The licensee's facilities will be reviewed against this criteria.

The Plan contains a listing of e=ergency equip:ent and supplies.

The Plan provides for the inspection, inventory, and opera:ional check of :he equip =en: in accordance vi:h statica procedures.

Onsi:e =eni:oring sys:c=s and instru=entation used to ini:iate e=ergency =casures and/or provide continuing assess =ent are identi-fied. These include =etcorological and seis=ic instru=entation, radiological =eni: ors, process =enitors, fire de:ection syste=s, and por:able dose ra:e and radia: ion detection ins--"-a-s.

-g-The licensee has made provisions for offsite nitoring equipment which includes an extensive TLD network, in a-3rdance with the staff's pasition, and portable radiation monitoring instru=ents for use by the offsite field assessment teams. Mobile =enitoring capabilities, in addition to the licensec's, are available through the North Carolina Department of Human Resources, Radiation Pro-tection Branch and the DOE Radiolocical Assistance Team. Offsite meteorological data is available from both the National Weather Service and the North Carolina Air National Guard.

The licensee's capabilities pertaining to meteorology presently do not meet the criteria identified in Appendix 2 to NUREG-0634.

The licensee has ce=mitted to meet the criteria and associated implementation schedule, with the exception of remote interroga-tion capability.

The licensee has co=mitted to upgrade the radiation and effluent monitoring capability to meet the criteria of NUREG-0737.

The following items require resolution:

1.

Meteorological capability to meet the criteria of Appendix 2 to NUREG-0654.

2.

Emergency response facilitics to meet the criteria of NUREG-0696.

1.

Accident Assessment Standard Adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and =onitoring actual or potential of fsite consequences of a radiological e=ergency condition are in use.

Licensee Emergenev Plan Evaluation The Plan and procedures contain system and radiological effluent parameter values characteristic of a spectrum of off-normal condi-tions and accidents. These parameter values and other reliable in-for=ation are tabulated to cross-reference initiating conditions for each of the Emergency Classes. Specific alarm set points, both visual and audio, are in the Control Room to alert the operator.

The onsite radiation monitoring and sampling system consists of (1) a process radiological monitoring and sampling syste=, (2) an effluent radiological =enitoring and sampling system, (3) an air-borne radioactive =onitoring system, (4) an a 'ea radiation =onitor-ing system, and (5) portable survey and count ing equip =ent.

The licensee has committed to upgrading.cnd post-accident =enitoring and sampling capability to sect the criteria of NUREG-0737.

The Plan provides the methodology for determining the magnitude of a release or potential release by utilizing: (1) evaluation of plant conditions. (2) dose projections offsite, and (3) offsite radiological measure = cats. Station procedures provide the details of the =ethod-ology. The licensee has established a methodology to be used for estimating of fsite dose:. in the unlikely event that

i assessment instru=cntstien is of fscale er out of service. The details for such projected dose calculations are provided in the station procedures.

In addition to projecting offsite consequences fro = =easured in-plant parameters, the licensee has also established a field =en-itoring capability. Four field monitoring teams are dispatched at the Site E=ergency and General Emergency levels. The tes=s are provided with radiological =enitoring and sa=pling equipment and radio co=munication equipment. A single tea = can be deployed within ten minutes and all tea =s can be operational within one hour.

The licersee has under development procedures to provide the means for relating =easured field contamination levels to dose rates and for esticating integrated dose to the population at risk.

J.

Protective Response Standard A range of protective actions have beea develeped for the plu=e ex-posure pathway EPZ for emergency workers and the public. Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an e=ergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure pathway EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed.

License E=errenev Plan Evaluation The licensee has established an onsite protective response for e=ployees, contractor personnel, and =e=bers of the general public who =ay be onsite.at the time of an emergency. This response con-sists of warning and notification, relocation and accountability, and protective actions. Onsite warning and notification will be by means of various alar: syste=s, station public address syste=,

and an electric signal-horn syste=.

In the case of a Site or General E=ergency, personnel onsite will be relocated to designated shelter areas and an initial accountability completed within thirty minutes. Evacuation of non-essential personnel is by designated preplanned routes to offsite reasse=bly locations. The reasse=bly locations have provisions for radiological monitoring and deconta=-

ination of personnel. Additional onsite protective =casures include the use of individual respiratory protection, protective clothing, and radioprotective drugs.

The plan provides for reco==ending offsite protective =easure de-pending on the projected dose to the environs. The particular

. reconcendation may be sheltering or evacuation depending on the magnitsde of the projected dose, the =cteorological conditions, the nature of tha release, and the predetermined evacuation ti=e estimates for the sector (s) affected. The Plan contains =aps and infor=ation regarding evacuation routes, and areas, shelters, presclected sampling and =enitoring points, and the population distribution around the facility.

The Plan contains ti=e esti=stes for evacuation within the plu=e exposure EPZ. These ti=e estimates are generally in accordance with Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654; however, additional infor=ation concerning the assumptions and the =cthods by which ti=e estimates were calculated are required to satisfy the criteria.

K.

Radiological Exposure Control Standard Means for controlling radiological exposures, in an e=ergency, are established for emergency workers. The means for controlling radio-logical exposures shall include exposure guidelines consistent with EPA E=ergency Workers and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides.

Licensee E=ergency Plan Evaluation The licensee has established a radiation protection progra: for controlling radiological exposures in the event of an e=ergency.

E=crgency exposure guidelines have been provided for the varicus categorie, of radiation workers. These guidelines are consistent with the EPA E=ergency Worker and Lif. saving Activity Protective Action Guides. E=ergency procedures specify the persons authorized to permit emergency exposures in execss of 10 CFR Part 20 limits.

The Station Health Physics Manual definss the radiation protection progra= for normal and e=ergency conditions. It provides for 24-hour per day dose deter =ination for c=ergency personnel and for the maintenance of dose records to ensure that exposure history is current. This =anual and associated procedures will be reviewed by the staff.

Onsite conta=ination control =casures for personnel, equip =ent, and access control are provided. The criteria for decontamination of personnel and equipment are specified in the Plan. Procedures have been developed for par =itting the return of areas and ite=s to normal use.

Provisions have been established for deconta=inating relocated on-site personnel including provisions for extra clothing and decen-ta=inants suitable for the type af contamination expected.

Charlotte Memorial Hospital is a large gene _ral hospital with cc=-

piece emergency-treatment capabilities and Oak Ridge has extensive radiological care facilities and expertise.

The station has two first aid facilities located in the Administra-tion Building for providing medical assistance to injured personnel.

The facilities can provide first aid treat =ent for minor injuries and emergency aid for more serious injuries. One facility has de-contamination capability. Arrangements have been made with local physicians for onsite medical assistance.

'a'ritten agreements have b'een made with the North Mecklenburg A=bu-lance Service and the North Mecklenburg Rescue Squad for the trans-portation of injured personnel who may also be conta=inated.

M.

Recovery and Reentry Plannine and Postaccident Operations Standard General plans for recovery and reentry are developed.

Licensee E=ergency Plan Evaluation The Duke Power Company Crisis Management Plan (CEP) is designed to support the McGuire Nuclear Station in the execution of its Plan.

The CMP describes an extensive recovery organization which is l

activated upon actuation of the Crises Manage =ent Center. The organization consists of experienced corporate =anagement and supervisory personnel who have the authority to assure the best available use of corporate resourecs to assist in rapid recovery.

The CMP organization will provide:

1. Technical and operational support planning for recovery operation

2. Radiological field monitoring ard data assess:ent 3.

Logistics support for emergency parsonnel

12 -

4. Mana;cment 1cvel interface with local, State, and Federal gevernment authorities 5'. Release of information to news media coordinated with govern =cntal authoritics Any decision on Duke's part to relax protective =easures will be made by the Recovery Manager in coordination with NRC, North Carolina and local officials. 'Jhenever a recovery operation is to be initiated or any change is to be made in the organizational structure, the Recovery Manager will notify representatives of the response organi:ations.

N.

Exercises and Drills Standard Periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of escrgency response capabilities, periodic drills are (vill be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected.

Licensee Emergenev Plan Evaluation Annual exercises will be conducted to test the integrated capa-bility and a maior portion of the basic elements existing within the Plan.

Offsite, as well as licensee, response organizations will be involved. Although the State Plan will be exercised annually, it may be done separate from the licensee in so e years due to the existence of other nuclear power reactor f acilities within the State's jurisdiction. At least once every six years exercises will be started between 6:00 P.M. and midnight and another between midnight and 6:00 A.M.

The scenario used for the various exercises will contain at least the essential elements as set forth in NUREG-0654.
