ATTACHMENT 1 1
The revision is being submitted in accordance with 10CFR50.54(q) and does not decrease the cffectiveness of the Emergency Plan. The Plan as revised will continue to meet the requirements of 10CFR50.47 and 10CFR50. Appendix E.
I Synopsis of Changes Table of Contents Changes made in this section are editorial.
List of Figures Changes made in this section are editorial, j
Section B, On site Emergency Organization Duke Power has re-engineered the communications emergency plan to be more effective. New positions have been developed and are now included in Section B.8. As a result of the inclusion, information in Sections B.9 and B.10 have been renumbered and remaining pages in Section B have shifted.
Figure B-1, McGuire Nuclear Site minimum staffing requirements for emergencies has been revised as approved in the NRC safety evaluation dated 11/12/96 (TAC Nos. M92462 and M92463). The NRC determined the following changes do not decrease the level of on-site preparedness:
Eliminate the 45-minute communicator response.
Relax the core and thermal / hydraulic technical support response from 45 minutes to 75 minutes.
Reduce the minimum number of on-shift RP technicians from four to two.
Relax the response time of two RP technicians used for performing off-site radiation surveys from 45 minutes to 75 minutes.
Relax the response time of two RP technicians for access control, team coverage, personnel monitoring and dosimetry from 45 minutes to 75 minutes.

I Revise I&E technician response to two personnel on-shift and two within 75 minutes.

Listing the local support response in the areas of firefighting and rescue operations / first-aid in the colurnn of 75-minute responders.
j Figure B-1 has also been reformatted, positions clarified, notes revised, and the EOF minimum j
staffing commitments 1: ave been included.
The Operations Engineering Liaison and TSC/OSC communication positions have been deleted from Figure B-2 as a result of re-engineering in the TSC and the addition of a video conferencing system between the TSC and OSC facilities.
Section C, Emergency Response Support and Resources Page C-2, Section C-3 has been revised to delete the use of Duke Power personnel and the emergency boat for lake warning purposes. This change does not relax lake warning capabilities but removes Duke Power personnel from assisting in evacuating Lake Norman. Letter to Duke Power Company dated March 21,1997, from North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Division of Emerger.cy Management (see Attachment 2) states Annex G of the Nonh Carolina Emergency Response Plan has been revised to reflect the sole use of the State of North Carolina and the cour. ties of Mecklenburg, Iredell and Catawba to provide 100% warning capability. Lake evacuation must be performed by certified law enforcement. Use of Duke Power personnel to facilitate evacuation is no longer an option. As stated in the letter, revised Annex G has been tested and evaluated by FEMA with no problems identified.
Section D, Emergency Action Levels Editorial changes were made to Section D pages as follows:
Pages D-17,27,28,36,55: Capitalized trw.. designations for EMPs 51 A and SIB and clarified numericallimits Pages D-39,80,82: Added low range indication (L) to certain EMFs for clarification because they have dual ranges Page D-42: Added closure parenthesis to previously unclosed parenthesis Page D47: Corrected for consistency Pages D-55,93,101,104: Corrected typographical error Page D-70: Incorporated existing note into initiating condition 2
i Pages D-73,76: Changed praedural reference Pages D-80,81,82,83: Under!ined header for emphasis i
Page D-83: Added qualifying statement for consistency with other EAL initiating conditions 4
Section E, Notification Methodology 1.
A new document management system has been adopted to standardize McGuire i
procedures. As a result, procedure numbers have been changed. The following pages and section numbers contain the revised procedure numbers:
Pages E-1 and 2 Section E.2.a j
Pages E-2,3 and 4 Section E.2.b i
Pages E-5 and 6 Section E.2.c Pages E-6,7 and 8 Section E.2.d 1

The State of North Carolina has requested initial emergency notifications be through the EOC rather than the State Warning Point. As a result, the following pages and sections were revised to reflect the North Carolina Emergency Operations Center:
Page E-1 Section E.2.a l
Pages E-3 and 4 Section E.2.b i
Page E-5 Section E.2.c Page E-7 Section E.2.d i
3.
Page E-8, Section E.2.c has been revised to reflect recommendation of off-site authorities 2
to evacuate the two-mile radius and all affected zones five miles downwind and in-place I

were adopted from EPA 400-R-92-001 and are shown in Figure J.l. Section E.2.c was l
not revised when EPA 400 was implemented in Section J of the McGuire Emergency l
Plan.

Dear Ms. Hasty:
Several years ago the McGuire Task Force Lake W rning Project Team reviewed the capabilities of the State of North Carolina and the Counties ofMecklenburg, Iredell and Catawba, to provide 100% warning capability for Lake Norman and the Catawba River in the event of an accident at McGuire. The purpose of this review was to remove any responsibility from Duke Power for evacuation of the lake and river. Use of Duke Power personnel to facilitate evacuation is a problem because they are not certified law enforcement.
Ofr-site law enforcement epJes are now able to carry out this function due to changes in the lake patrol capability of the 9 affs departments. The agencies responsible for this function are Charlotte /Mecklenburg Police Department, Iredell Sheriffs Department, Nonh Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission - Enforcement Division, and the Catawba County Sheriff s Department.
We hope to invoive :he Lincoln County Sheriffs Department and Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation in the fuiu.e.
The committee revised Annex G to the McGuire Emergency Response Plan to reflect the sole use oflaw enforcement personnel. The revised Annex G has been tested and evaluated by FEMA.
No problems have been identified.
I understand that the Emergency Planning Group at McGuire Nuclear Site has been retaininj; a boat for Lake Warning. After review of the current plans, and because of the above mentioned changes, I do not believe Lake Warning suppon from McGuire is still needed.
Should you need any further clarification or assistance on this issue, please contact Mike Cook in the Area E Office at 704-466-5555.
