l PWR/W-4-LP subiect: PARTIAL LOSS OF OVERHEAD ANNUNCIATOR (OHA) SYSTEM Reportable Event Number 25043 Discussion:

On 2/8/93, PSE&G reported, via the referenced EN, that the cathode ray tube (CRT) associated with the Salem Unit 1 OHA system was found to be inoperable for approximately 23 minutes. At the time of this discovery, unit operators also found that the printer connected to the OHA central l

processing unit (CPU) was out of paper. Throughout this time the overhead annunciator system appeared to continue to function and display alarms.

However, with thu concurrent loss of both the CRT and the printer, no chronological historical record was immediately available to verify that all alarms were properly passed on to the overhead windows. Due to recent problems associated with the Salem OHA system (reference NRC AIT Report 50-272&311/92-81), Salem management considered the loss of the CRT to be reportable as a loss of assessment capability pending verification of the continued integrity and operability of the OHA system.

Subsequently, the licensee refilled the printer paper supply, down-loaded the archived alarm history from the OHA CPU and determined that the OHA system remained operable and functional throughout the duration of the CRT failure. The responsible system engineer and a vendor representative determined that the CRT failed due to a fault on a printed circuit card associated with the CRT control panel. Upon replacing the card, the CRT control system was reset and the unit was returned to operation in accordance with applicable system and operating procedures. The licensee also initiated a work order to have the CRT and its control panel replaced. Currently, PSE&G management is considering retracting the referenced event report since it was determined that an actual loss of assessment capability did not occur, in that the OHA system continued to function even though the CRT unit failed.

I Recional Action:

The resident inspector was on site and was notified of the event by the licensee as soon as the 10CFR50.72 report was made. Upon discussing and j

reviewing this matter with the operations shift supervisors, the inspector verified that the OHA system remained operable through the duration of this occurrence.

. _ _. - ~. _. _. _ r LICENSED CPS /EMERCENCY RESPfMSE 07/22/94 I. INTRODUCTION i lAIRE The purpose of this classroom training is to provide the control Room Operations Staff, and in particular the Senior Nuclear Shift Supervisor, with the knowledge about the Artificial Island Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures necessary to ensure an effective response to a radiological emergency situation. 1 The planned responses of onshift plant personnel, and primarily the Operators, are key to a timely activation of supporting organizations and facilities required to ) initiate protective actions for the general public in the event of a radiological release. While the focus of our activities on a daily basis is j still the prevention of such an event, we cannot assume l that an emergency requiring public actions to minimize their dose or even save lives under worst case circumstances could never happen. In addition to this classroom trainina and evaluation, your Emergency Preparedness Program also includes oractice and demonstratiSD of selected Terminal Learning Objectives durina Initial and Reaual Simulator Trainina sessions. Furthermore, neriodic drills are conducted, both announced and unannounced, for shift personnel in either the plant or Simulator that are for the purpose of both training and occasionally NRC evaluation of our 3 preparedness and that of our State and Local agencies. Instructor Notes Before beginning, ensure each trainee has a copy of the Handout including the Obiectivaa. The trainees should be given the opportunity to review the Objectives prior to and after the lesson presentation. (Refer to Pgs. 3 - 11, TLos and ELOs.) II. ARTIFICIAL ISLAND EMERGENCY PLAN OVERVIEW Lanson Plan No. 215-0000-018, Overview for ERO Personnel, shall be presented at this time to provide training and review of the following Enabling Objectives. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,14,19,48 14

LICENSED OPJ/EMERCENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 III. EVENT CLASSIFICATION GUIDE (ECG)- Hone Creek or Salem Review the contents and method of using the ECG. ECG has two basic parts; Classification Sections and Notification Attachments. Classification Sections are composed of Initiating Condition statements and their associated flow charted Emergency Action Levels (EALs). They are the gateway to entering a declared emergency or determining the requirement to make a non-emergency notification. ECG Attachments, which make up the bulk of the document, are nothing more than a set of procedures designed to facilitate the required notifications and activation of support personnel as needed based on the specific level of concern identified. Before looking at the Classification Sections, we need to first look at the Table of Contents and Introductory Sections. A. SECTION i, ECG INTRODUCTION Ensure that the trainee is aware of its contents. 1. Purpose of the ECG. (Subsection I) a. central reference, used by the SNSS or EC to classify both emergency and non-emergency conditions, b. notification procedures included. c. direction to EP implementing procedures which will ensure appropriate response as required by the classified event level. / 2. Basis for Emergency and Non-emergency Classification. (Subsection II) Discusses the basis for each classification. 3. Description of Each Emergency and Non-emergency classification. (III) 4. Event Classification Guide Structure. (IV) Provides description of the ECG format. 5. ECG Use. (Subsection V) a. The ECG is a guide. The EC must use all available information in determining the event. Judaement of the EC should always play an important role in classifying the event as all possible circumstances are not covered in the ECG. 15

k' LICENSED CPS /EMERSENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 b. NOTE: EC should classify and declare an emergency before an EAL is exceeded if, in the EC's judgement, the EAL will be exceeded. ELO 47 c. Guidance for EMERGENCY /NON-EMERGENCY conditions discovered after-the-fact. NOTE: After-the-fact events po NOT INCLUDE events that are in progress QB if not in progress, have ongoing consequences, effects, or corrective actions. (see also EAL 17.D which states it slightly different) 6. Description of the Engineered Safety Features (ESF) are described in the section 6 of HC's FSAR. (VI) B. SECTION 11 Contains a cross reference of events to the requirement documents. CAUTION: Do ngt classify events from here. Go first to any and all appropriate EAL Sections, 1 thru 18. C. EVENT CLASSIFICATION SECTIONS 1 thru 18 TLO 1.0 1. Method of Classifying an Event: ELO 31 The guides are broken up into 18 sections. Review selected sections with the trainees concentrating on methods of classifying events. Explain the unique flow charting of related Emergency Action Levels (EALs), purpose of Initiating Conditions statements and Notes used throughout. L32rons LOrned a. Use examples from EP Industry Events and Lessons Learned Binder, where appropriate, to emphasize the background and basis for selecred EALs. ~ b. Emphasize areas where there may be possible confusion over meaning of written description of event. 2. SNSS and EDO Judgement: ELO 34 Stress the need to consider all possible EALs for an event and to exercise judgement, choosing the hiahest classification appropriate when plant or public safety is in doubt. D. ATTACHMENTS (1 thru 4), Emercency Coordinator Loc Sheets: 1.

Purpose:

Contain directions for the EC to ensure that the necessary implementing procedures are entered, that notifications are made, that PARS are developed, and that protective actions for site personnel are considered. ~ 16

',e LICENSED CPS /EMERQENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 ELO 35 2. Major Activities: Review each of the major steps in these attachments to ensure that the trainees can recall the meaning and method of accomplishing each task. Stress the followina information; a. All other personnel responses are designed to be triggered by the steps in this attachment. Emergency response itself hinges on the SNSS's familiarity with this document and ability to make quick assessments of criteria for'taking certain actions. ELO 36

b. Release Determination on the Initial Contact Message Form (ICMF) iS H21 intended to raise a question while the EC is filling out the form.

Which box to check in Section III. of the ICMF, should he known as part of the EC's assessment and classification of the event. i The Release definition is stated as a footnote on the ICMF to document to the States that any radiological gaseous release less than Technical Specification limits is not a release. The States have accepted that definition as used here. SNSS should keep in mind to remind the Communicator Dgt to read the footnote when making notifications. c. Accountability, per step E.2 of Att. 1, Unusual Event is a planned ootion. ~ If necessary means, in the judgement of the EC, that circumstances other than radiological concerns (perhaps Security related, Toxic gas onsite, fire, explosion, etc.) have presented a challenge to personnel safety. ELO 49 Emohasize the importance of orovidina comolete and exolicit instructions to the Security Suoervisor in verbatim compliance with the procedure to ensure that Security emergency response is performed, as planned, to protect site personnel. Iacsons Learned During a recent Emergency, the SNSS decided to skip an instruction to Security because he didn't think it was necessary. Consequently, Assembly of personnel at the TSC was hindered. When in doubt, trust the EPIPs. Don't reinvent the Plan unless it is obviously unsafe to perform an action due to unforeseen circumstances. 17 4

(/ l LICENSED GPS / EMERGENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 Note: The entire Assembly / Accountability process will be covered in full detail in EPIP 103 (S/H) l later in this lesson. d. OSC Activation. ELO 20 The above circumstances, and others related to plant operations, may warrant the SNSS's decision as EC to activate the OSC at an Unusual Event to assist in controlling a situation and thus avoid the need to escalate later. e. Event Termination with or without Initiation of Recoverv. Att. 1 (UE), Section III., contains steps and a form to be used in notifying others when the UE is' terminated and whether or not a Recovery phase of operations has been entered prior to returning to normal operations. Att. 2, 3, & 4 do not contain similar Termination criteria to Att. 1 because of the increased complexity involved in making such a decision during higher level emergencies.

EMERGENCY PLAN IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES (EPIPS) l This section of the lesson shall introduce the set of Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) with any i special explanations necessary for the SNSS in ensuring that each required action is taken when needed. t The EPIPs have a unique format and fall outside the requirements of station procedures in some areas of style and content and they should be treated as Cateaory II t procedures, for the most part. However, there are a number of forms to be completed and actions requiring timely performance in a specified manner where, because these activities are infrequently performed, verbatim compliance will provide maximum 1 assurance of personnel and public safety. A. ARTIPICIAL ISLAND EMERGENCY PLAN (AIEP) 1. The AIEP addresses both Salem Units and Hope Creek. I close coordination between Salem and Hope Creek is required during all emelgencies. 2. The set of implementing procedures may be thought of as consisting of 6 volumes. i a. ONSITE EMERGENCY RE M (2 volumes) The HC and SGS volume procedures mimic each other in number and in content (except for site specific differences). 1 100 series - SNSS/EDO responses. I 200 series - Support responses. 300 series - Rad Pro responses. The remaining 4 volumes are common to both stations. 1 1 b. EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY 400 series - Emergency coordination response. 500 series - Engineering responsa 600 series - Rad' Pro response 700 series - Admin Support response c.

First is to remind the SNSS at the Unaffected Station to avoid confusing the offsite emergency response actions by sending a potentially mixed message about Artificial Islanel's Emergency Level. Second is to ensure that any Protective Actions directed onsite by the two Emergency Coordinators during the early stages of a common site event 1 (or merely coincidental events) are themselves coordinated to avoid undesired consequences for site personnel. b. Emphasize the need for the SNSS to fully support the identified needs of the Emergency coordinator with available personnel and resources while taking whatever actions are necessary to keep the / Unaffected Station stable and safe. c. Discuss OSC Activation for Alert or higher. Limited authority of the SNSS (not EC), need to continue using normal procedures for doing work, surveillances.

Stress the responsibility of the SNSS to maintain frequent communications with the EDO and to advise the EDO (EC) of the need to change classifications or make PARS based on information or analysis of the emergency from the Control Room Staff. d. See EPIP 103 for discussion of Accountability Process. 3. 1038/E - SITE AREA EMERGENCY Note: Most of EPIP 103 is the same as 102. Review the Accountability Process in detail. Using excerpts from the 900 series EPIPs (Security Response), review the actions being taken by security to implement protective actions (Evacuation or Relocation) for personnel in the owner controlled Area (OCA) offsite (outside the Protected Area). ET O 49 a. Accountability shall be implemented, if not previously performed. If previously performed at the Alert level (optional), then OCA Evacuation has already been implemented. ELO 42 b.

Review steps 3.2.3 thru 3.2.6 in; 1) confirming the emergency is over. 2) developing a Recovery Management Organization. 3) receiving concurrence from the VP-NO prior to implementing Recovery. e. Review the implementation process of step 3.3. f. Stress that this procedure is being covered more for familiarity with its contents and the philosophy of Recovery as an interim phase of operations between an Emergency and Normal Operations. There is never a reason to rush or hurry through the steps in this procedure. Termination of an emergency with or without Recovery requires careful analysis of the consequences to plant and personnel safety and at least enough understanding of the causes of the emergency to satisfy any concern that it could reoccur shortly later. 7. 2018/E - TSC - INTEGRATED ENGINEERING RESPONSE ELO 38 a. TSC TECHNICAL SUPPORT TRACKING FORM (Appendix 8) 1) A document, serves as a coversheet to any Engineering Recommendations generated in the TSC and forwarded to the SNSS for consideration in mitigating an emergency. ) If the recommendation is concise enough it could also be complete in the space provided and not every recommendation out of the TSC needs to be so formal. 2) During an emergency, we need to ensure complete understanding of technical i information being used to potentially modify the plant configuration beyond design basis 1 or take other actions that violate existing procedures or even the plant license for that j 29

Serves as an expedited process that ensures a minimum set of reviews by technically qualified individuals. 3) Use of this form (and attached drawings, parts lists, procedures, etc.) should provide better communication of the details and specific actions proposed for the SNSS and NSTA to then consider and, if approved by the SNSS, ultimately understood by the NSS or OSCC for implementation. 4) The proper implementation of such a tracking mechanism, along with emergency work orders and tagouts associated with it, should be invaluable in the Recovery phase of operations when PSE&G attempts to restore the plant to a quality condition for normal operations. Salcm only b. Post Accident Low Pressure Iniection Monitorina When the'RHR System is swapped to cold leg recirculation (taking suction off the containment Sump rather then the RWST) the Technical Support Team Leader (TSTL) in the TSC is required to begin monitoring the ECCS Pumps for adequate NPSH or indications of any unsatisfactory pump performance. In order to do this, the TSTL will request the SNSS to have the POST ACCIDENT MONITORING LOG, Appendix 10, completed every hour in the CR and faxed to the TSC only. C.

/ LICENSED GPS /EMER2ENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 I. OPERATIONS SUPPORT CENTER DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Any Licensed operator may be expected to serve in the OSC Organization during an emergency if assigned to shift responsibilitics outside of the Control Room (i.e. SSS or NEO functions) at the time of declaration. Also, since the OSC reports directly to the SNSS, a good understanding of OSC procedures and organization will enable the SNSS to maximize their effectiveness in responding to Operations' priorities. This section of the lesson plan'will discuss the activation of the OSC as well as the responsibilities and duties of personnel there i.a.w. EPIP 2025. A. ACTIVATION ELO 20 1. The OSC shall be activated in response to any of the following conditions; a. The declaration of an ALERT or higher level of emergency. b. The declaration of an UNUSUAL EVENT where a bomb search is required. c. The direction of the SNSS/EDO. B. ORGhMI2ATION 1. Command and Control. The initial Osc Coordinator is a shift supervisor from the Operations Department. This / individual may or may not be licensed and is usually ELO 21 a Shift Support Supervisor, Work Control Center Supervisor, or Rad Waste Supervisor, as designated by the shift manning roster. The initial OSCC serves primarily to get the facility set up and early team activities begun until relieved by the duty _OSC Coordinator during augmentation of shift staffing (Alert and higher). a. OSC Coordinator is in charge of the OSC. b. First line supervisors from Operations, Maintenance, Rad Protection, Pire Brigada and security (for security events only) man the OSC facility and report to the OSCC. I Also reporting to the OSCC are a Relay Department supervisor, a Duty storekeeper, and one or more Station Planners, along with an OSC Clerk. 31 2

LICENSED CPS /EMERSENCY RESPfMSE 07/22/94 c. Members of the following departments shall report to the OSC facility, sign in and standby for a briefing on the emergency from the OSCC. Operations personnel, selected maintenance, selected Rad Pro Technicians,' Fire Brigade, and Security (as needed). d. Authority of the OSCC. The OSCC is an extension of the authority of the SNSS. Orders given by the OSCC are carried out as if given by the SNSS. OSCC is responsible to ensure that decisions made during the course of OSC activitier, are approved by the SNSS before any actions are taken that might affect plant status adversely or could jeopardize the success of future actions that could have mitigated the emergency. C. EPIP 2028/H, OSC ACTIVATION AND_ OPERATIONS Review EPIP 202 with the trainees emphasizing the meaning and method of accomplishing each task and the following key points: H2ta: OSC Activation at the " unaffected station" utilizes EPIP 202 also, but only with Caution since the EPIP presumes other emergency response conditions that do not exist. SNSS authority is limited, no Control Point or TSC Support, no Store Keeper, and normal work rules still apply without exception. 1. OSC Facility Set Un and Makina OSC Activated ELO 23 a. SSS shall obtain a working copy of EPIP 202S/H from the CR Emergency Plan file drawer and report to the SNSS for a briefing. ELO 22 b. Based on the emergency conditions, the SNSS shall decide if the planned location or a backup location should be used to protect personnel. c. OSCC notifies other shift personnel including the Fire Brigade and directs the facility set up. The OSC facility includes the Work Control Center as an extension for planning emergency activities. d. For an Alert or hiaher classification, the entire Emergency Response Organization is called out to augment shift capabilities. Hence, within about an hour, a Duty OSC Coordinator will report to the OSC for a turnover from the SSS. ELO 24 888 will function as Operations support 32

LICENSED CPS /EMERSENCY RE PONS 3 07/22/94 supervisor in the OSC, and second in command, once relieved by the Duty OSCC. OSCC shall review SNSS priorities for team activities against the planned and present OSC Staffing and initiate requests for additional 1 personnel as needed by contacting the TSC Admin. Supervisor directly. Any requests to bring in relief personnel or physically transport resources to the Island is ultimately coordinated by the EDO and TSC Staff. Lescons l Lenrned Fire Watch Personnel who report to the OSC during activation may be dispatched as OSC Teams to resume their watches if emergency conditions allow, in accordance with SNSS priorities. If watches must be suspended, ensure the SNSS is notified and compensatory actions taken as needed. 2. OSC Staff Duties. Responsibilities, and Authority. a. Review the Duties and Responsibilities of the OSC Staff pe'rsonnel as delineated in the Appendices. b. Authority of all OSC Staff personnel is limited by compliance with all written, approved procedures except as allowed by the SNSS through the OSCC. ELO 26 The osCC is at all times acco.untable to the SNSS for the activities and priorities of the OSC teams in the field. That is to say that, in an emergency, at the affected station actions may be taken to mitigate the consequences of the emergency which violate procedures, technical specifications or license requirements, that compromise normally accepted quality standards, and in fact carry with them a high degree of risk with low expectations of success. ELO 40 In all cases where this is true, the SNSS shall have the final authority to approve that activity after determining its potential effect on current or projected plant status and reactor core reactivity. 33

Dispatch, and Control. i a. Review the process of OSC Team Dispatch in accordance with EPIP 202. b. As a minimum, discuss the following; 1) Team Member selection. CLu LL a) Manaue available skills and experience as precious resources. For example, don't send two qualified mechanics out as a team to do a job that only requires one mechanic and an unskilled helper. Consider also the need to have an operator as a team member to help identify and locate plant components, b) Know what resources are available to draw from. Assess their qualifications for pending jobs if possible and get additional personnel if needed, beforehand. c) If necessary, OSC Supervisors or even extra TSC personnel can be sent out on team activities, d) Team Leaders shall be carefully selected when ther's is a need for independent decision making in the field under crisis situations. Limits of authority shall be consistent with the experience and demonstrated judgement of the individuals selected. E' 30

2) Team Leader Responsibilities

D. EPIP 3048/5, RADIATION PROTECTION RESPONSE This EPIP is used by the RP Exposure Control Supervisor (RPS-EXP) in the OSC to track and control doses to team members. TLO 27.0 The osC Coordinator is responsible for evaluating radiological conditions, with the RPS-EXP tsaistance, and ensurina that a croiected dose analysis is correctly performed prior to dispatching personnel into a 35

LICENSED OPS /EKERCENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 potentially hazardous area. For activities involving individual cumulative doses exceeding 4500 Mrem TEDE for the current year (Alert or higher only), the OSCC shall reevaluate the method of task performance to lower projected doses or request an Emergency Exposure Authorisation from the EDO. ELO 25 1. RP Exposure Control Supervisor Duties. a. Reports directly to the OSC Coordinator, not the RAC. b. Interfaces with the RPS-Inplant at the CP and the RAC in the TSC to exchange radiological information, receive guidance. c. Tracks OSC team members' doses (Refer to EPIP 304, Att. 1) d.

Field Monitoring (direct measurements and sampling) a. time and labor intensive b. need data from many points over several hours c. must wait for the plume to arrive offsite 2. Dose Projections j a. Comnuter Code Calculations 1) Provides an estimate of-the peak dose expected along the. centerline of the wind direction at specific distances 2) Need data from one reliable RMS vent monitor coupled with preprogrammed conversions and assumptions 3) Code assumes wind blows steady, same speed, same direction for four hours l 1 B. RAD PRO TECHNICIAN ON8HIFT RESPONSE: [EPIP 301S/H] ELO 43 When notified by the CM2, the RPT - Onshift (SRPT) will implement EPIP 301. This procedure directs the SRPT to come to the CR for a briefing from the EC. In addition to other duties, the SRPT will begin performing dose assessment functions and generate a computer printed copy of'Pg. 2 of the SSCL every 30 minutes. TLO 11.0 The EC reviews the SSCL Rad Data and is responsible for verifyina the validity of any dose orolections produced by carefully examining the printed form prior to approving its transmittal. 38

~ LICENSED OP8/EMER2ENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 C. COMPUTER CODE DOSE PROJECTION 82 [EPIP 309S/H or 310S/H] SSCL Pg. 2 generated by a program called MIDA8 either in Automatic (normal) or Manual mode as described in the 5 referenced EPIPs. What you should know is that for simplicity and speed of l projections, the dose code used in generating the SSCL dose projections offsite uses a calculation method known as a segmented plume model and a number of assumptions about such things as reactor power history and future meteorological conditions. The model is only an estimate, but with certain conservative assumptions built in, it should in all cases over predict the severity of a release in terms of peak doses offsite. D. STATION STATUS CHECKLIST (Refer to Example) Contents of SSCL. Pace 2., taken one step at a time; CALCULATION TIME When was the last input variable entered to start the projection. This time determines whether or not projected data will be displayed for certain distances from the vent, based on plume ETA. 1. GASEOUS RELEASE > TECE SPEC; If either value in I or J, below, exceeds the T/S LIMITS then YE8 [I] RELEASE START TIME; When did the release begin. This time sets the leading edge of the release plume for determining ETA at various distances from the vent. i A. RELEASE TERMINATED If ongoing, then NO [I) B. DURATION OF RELEASE 4 hours is default value if unknown C. TYPE OF RELEASE: If botn GROUND and ELEVATED are checked off, the release is a SPLIT WAKE RELEASE. For Hope Creek, most normal releases from NPV and SPV will be this way. FRVS will always be GROUND. HTV will always be ELEVATED due to the temperatures anticipated with this path. N/A, if indicated, will most likely be for situations where a release was in progress, but is now terminated. Dose projections continue to follow the plume segment as it travels around the Plume EPZ. 39

LICENSED CPS /EMER2ENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 e D. ADJUSTED WIND SPEED: Calculated value based on Type of Release, Vent Path elevation (weighted sum of all sources). ( 15 minute average value as required by NRC for all dose calculations) E. STABILITY CLA88 NRC scale of A thru G based on delta T between 33' and 300', usually'D, E, or F for us. Stability classifications are a measure of atmospheric mixing (dispersion) with the most unstable (greatest mixing) at "A" and the highest stability (least mixing) at "G". F. VENT PATE OF RELEASE: Indicates each individual source of effluent contributing to the Total Release. G. NG RELEASE RATE: List each individual vent effluent reading or calculated value in uci/s. H. I-131 RELEASE RATE: List each individual vent affluent reading for Iodine, where applicable, uci/s. I. TOTAL RELEASE RATE NOBLE GAS: Calculated from Plant Vent RMS indicated release concentration times flow rate, converted to Uci/sec. (Q) (15 min, average value based on NRC commitment) J. TOTAL RELEASE RATE IODINE 131: Maybe calculated effluent based on Iodine monitors or a default value solely based on Noole Gas affluent. In most cases default will initially be used until an effluent sample can be obtained. Important to get a sample as soon as possible since default,is in general extremely conservative. 2. PROJECTED OFF8ITE DOSE RATE CALCULATIONS Always done automatically based on the input parameters above for the four distances given; other distances can be calculated. XU/Q: Calculated term that represents dispersion of the Plume as a function of Stability Class, Adjusted Wind Speed, and Distance from Vent with units of 2 (1/m ). TEDE RATE (MREM /ER):' Calculated whole body internal and external exposure rate (including ground deposition shine) which will result in a TEDE Dose to an individual based on immersion at the centerline of the plume. Emercancy Classification EAL data. TEDE DO8E (4 DAY) (NREN): Calculated TEDE Dose based on TEDE RATE and DURATION OF RELEASE. The SRPT will use the MEA and LPZ distance values in making Radiolocically Based PARS. 40

3 LICENSED CPS /EMERCENCY RESPONSE 07/22/94 THYROID CDE RATE (MREM /ER): Calculated committed dose to an individual's Thyroid gland per hour of that person's immersion in the centerline of the plume. Emeraency Classification EAL data. THYROID CDE DOSE (MREM): Calculated THYROID CDE based on THYROID CDE RATE and DURATION OF RELEASE. The SRPT will use MEA and LPZ distance values in making Radiolocically Based PARS. E.

SUMMARY

OF 8N88 CONCERN 8 WITH DOSE ASSESSMENT 88CL Approval (Refer again to Example) ADoroval means the SNSS (EC) has reviewed the form generally for completeness and, without necessarily doing verification calculations has at least noted the followina: 1. There is or is not a gaseous radiological release. (as defined by exceeding T/S Limits) 4 2. RELEASE START TIME is consistent with your i understanding of when the containment failed or other radiological accident occurred outside of containment. 3. WIND SPEED and WIND DIR (dog from) are consistent with your control Room indications. ~ Note the direction for use in any protective action decisions onsite or PARS for offsite. This direction may be slightly different than the initial 33 ft. based value off CRIDS (at HC) or the Met Computer (at Salem) and should be used to Upgrade any existing ? PAR. 4. Note the TOTAL RELEASE RATES for NG and I-131 and the TEDE RATE and TRYROID CDE RATE at the MEA and compare these values with the thresholds of ECG 8ection 7. 5. Note the VENT PATE OF RELEASE from the form and ensure that it is appropriate for the plant conditions'. (are there any unmonitored release pathways, not accounted for) 6. Note the basis of the I-131 release rate under item H. If DEFAULT is followed by FRV8 or ETV (at HC), a ratio of 1000:1 (NG:I-131) is used. If default ratio is used, understand that offsite Thyroid CDE data is likely to be very conservative, but it may also be non-conservativel 41
