1.0 INTRODUCTION
Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Plant (CR-3) was safely shutdown on September 26, 2009. On February 20, 2013, by letter 3F0213-07, Duke Energy provided certification to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii) that CR-3 has permanently ceased operations and that all fuel has been permanently removed from the reactor vessel. Subsequently, all spent fuel has been transferred to the on-site INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) facility.
The CR-3 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) describes the plan for responding to emergencies that may arise at the stations ISFSI. In this condition, no reactor operations can take place and all irradiated fuel is removed from the Spent Fuel Pool. This IOEP adequately addresses the risks associated with CR-3s current conditions.
As provided in the ISFSI storage system UFSARs, the analyses of the potential radiological impacts of postulated off-normal, natural phenomenon, and accident events in an ISFSI-Only condition indicates that any releases would result in a dose to the public below the radiation limits established in 10 CFR 72.106(b). Exposure levels, which warrant pre-planned response measures, are generally limited to the ISFSI pad and nearby vicinity, and for this reason; radiological emergency planning is focused on this area.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 1-1
1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the IOEP is to assure an adequate level of preparedness to cope with the spectrum of emergencies that could be postulated to occur. This Plan integrates the necessary elements to provide effective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of organizations expected to respond to emergencies.
1.2 SCOPE The IOEP is developed to respond to potential radiological emergencies at the CR-3 ISFSI. Because there are no postulated off-normal, natural phenomenon, or accident events that would result in offsite dose consequences large enough to require offsite emergency planning, the overall scope of this plan delineates the actions necessary to safeguard onsite personnel. The concepts presented in this plan address the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR 50.47, Emergency Plans, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities. The Plan is consistent with the applicable guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants and NEI 99-01, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors, Rev. 6.
Exemptions from selected portions of 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E for CR-3 were granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on March 30, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Number: ML15058A906).
The IOEP, Revision 0, was approved per NRC Safety Evaluation dated March 22, 2017.
The IOEP, Revision 1 changes were approved per NRC Safety Evaluation dated May 3, 2019.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 1-2
2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 OVERVIEW OF ISFSI-ONLY EMERGENCY PLAN (IOEP)
In the event of an emergency at the CR-3 ISFSI, actions are required to identify and assess the nature of the emergency and to bring it under control in a manner that protects the health and safety of onsite personnel. This Plan describes the organization and responsibilities of the licensee for implementing emergency measures. It describes interfaces with Federal, State of Florida, and Citrus County organizations, which may be notified in the event of an emergency, and may provide assistance. Emergency services are provided by local public and private entities.
Fire, rescue and law enforcement services are provided by Citrus County.
Ambulance service is provided by Nature Coast Emergency Medical Services.
Medical services are provided by Bayfront Health Seven Rivers hospital.
CR-3 is licensed under the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities. Consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, this Plan is based on the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Section 50.47(b) and Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, with approved exemptions. Sections 5.0 thru 20.0 of this Plan address the standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(1) through (16). In addition, the Plan is also intended to meet appropriate State of Florida and U.S. NRC regulations in accordance with the Operating License (No. DPR 72). CR-3 is licensed to store spent fuel in the CR-3 ISFSI under the General License provisions of 10 CFR 72.210 and 10 CFR 72.212.
Because the analyses of the credible design basis events and consequences indicate there are no postulated accidents that would result in off-site dose consequences that are large enough to require off-site emergency planning, emergencies are divided into two classifications: 1) Notification of UNUSUAL EVENT and 2) ALERT. This classification scheme has been discussed and agreed upon with responsible off-site organizations and is compatible with the State Plan.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 2-1
2.1 OVERVIEW OF ISFSI-ONLY EMERGENCY PLAN (IOEP) (Continued)
The licensee is responsible for planning and implementing emergency measures associated with the CR-3 ISFSI. This Plan is provided to meet that responsibility. To carry out specific emergency measures discussed in this Plan, detailed implementing procedures are established and maintained. Appendix A provides a listing of the implementing procedures for this Plan.
In addition to the description of activities and steps that can be implemented during a potential emergency, this Plan also provides a general description of the steps taken to recover from an emergency. It also describes the training, drills, exercises, planning, and coordination appropriate to maintain an adequate level of emergency preparedness.
2.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION The CR-3 Plant is located at Red Level, Florida in Citrus County, about 5 miles south of Levy County. The site is 7.5 miles northwest of Crystal River, Florida and 90 miles north of St. Petersburg, Florida. CR-3 is situated on the Gulf of Mexico, within the Crystal River Energy Complex.
CR-3 formerly consisted of a single unit nominal 911 MWe / 2609 MWth Nuclear Power Plant, utilizing a Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) Company (currently AREVA) pressurized water reactor (PWR). The unit is certified to have ceased power operations and is permanently defueled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii). All spent fuel has been transferred to the CR-3 INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) which is located to the east of the CR-3 Plant. The CR-3 ISFSI is a robust and high integrity facility for the spent fuel storage system. This facility is designed to prevent the release of radioactivity in the event of accidents, including environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquake and flooding).

SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY ACTIONS The IOEP is activated by the ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS) upon identification of an emergency situation based upon the EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL) criteria.
The ISS assumes the position of the EMERGENCY COORDINATOR (EC). The emergency measures described in the subsequent sections and implementing procedures are implemented in accordance with the classification and nature of the emergency at the direction of the EC. Regulatory authorities and off-site support organizations are notified in accordance with this Plan. The EC has authority and responsibility for control and mitigation of the emergency, including emergency response resources, coordination of radiological ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES, RECOVERY implementation, and coordination of emergency response activities.
The following sections of this IOEP describe the detailed plans and actions of the CR-3 Emergency Response Organization (ERO), including interfaces with off-site support organizations.

8.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 8.1 STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES CR-3 utilizes NEI 99-01, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors Rev. 6, as its basis for classifying emergencies. The classification system referenced in NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 has been endorsed by the NRC and offers a standard method for classifying emergencies. EALs are addressed in site procedures and the ISFSI Only Emergency Plan EAL Basis Manual (IOEP EALBM).
This IOEP addresses two (2) classifications of emergencies (UNUSUAL EVENT and ALERT), which represent a hierarchy of emergencies based on potential accidents that could occur at the CR-3 ISFSI. Once indications are available that an EAL is met, the event is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is promptly declared as soon as possible.
8.1.1 Unusual Event Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the CR-3 ISFSI or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No release of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected. The State of Florida and the NRC are notified of an UNUSUAL EVENT.
The purpose of the UNUSUAL EVENT classification is to bring the on-shift staff to a state of readiness and to provide for systematic handling of event information and its related decision making.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 8-1
8.1.2 Alert Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the CR-3 ISFSI or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to ISFSI equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.
As in the case of the UNUSUAL EVENT, the ALERT classification includes emergency situations which are not expected to threaten the public, but for which notification of the State of Florida and the NRC is required.
8.2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS AND POSTULATED ACCIDENTS Both emergency classifications are characterized by EALs consisting of specific instrument readings and/or observations which are used to tell the CR-3 ISS that an initiating condition has been met. These EALs are used to assure that the initial classification of emergencies can be accomplished rapidly, allowing for the prompt identification of the nature of mitigating activities needed.
EALs and Initiating Conditions are provided under the following categories for the CR-3 ISFSI:
- ISFSI Malfunction
- Hazards and Other Conditions The ISFSI UFSAR describes the Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) applicable to the CR-3 ISFSI, along with the radiological dose calculation results. Specific guidance for classifying emergencies is found in site procedures and the ISFSI Only Emergency Plan EAL Basis Manual (IOEP EALBM).
EALs shall be reviewed with State of Florida and Citrus County government authorities on an ANNUAL basis.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 8-2
9.0 NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES To provide prompt notification of affected personnel and emergency response organizations in the event of an emergency at the CR-3 ISFSI, the licensee has established means for notification and dissemination of emergency messages.

13.0 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT Effective response to a potential emergency situation requires assessment to determine the nature of the emergency and its actual and potential consequences.
The licensee has established various methods to evaluate and monitor the effects of a potential emergency at the CR-3 ISFSI and has the appropriate means to assure adequate assessment.
The ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES required to evaluate a particular emergency depend on the specific nature and classification of the emergency. The ISS/EC is responsible for the initial measurement of ISFSI dose rates after an off-normal, natural phenomena, or accident event. The EALs identify the parameter value to determine the emergency condition. Classification of events is performed by the ISS/EC in accordance with the EAL scheme.
If the measured ISFSI dose rates exceed the EAL threshold, the ISS/EC then ensures a radioactive RELEASE assessment in the vicinity of the affected storage module or cask is performed. After completing the assessment, the EC will contact the Resource Manager for assistance in interpreting the radioactive RELEASE assessment results.
Notification of the radiological RELEASE assessment is in accordance with Section 9.0.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 13-1
14.0 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Protective actions for onsite personnel are provided for their health and safety.

16.0 MEDICAL AND HEALTH SUPPORT Medical assistance is available on-site and off-site for treatment of CR-3 ISFSI personnel. Various means of transportation are also available to transport individuals for radiological and non-radiological injuries.
The individuals and organizations providing emergency medical assistance as identified in this section either have the capability for evaluation of radiation exposure and uptake or they are provided this capability from the licensee in the form of personnel and/or equipment. The licensee assures that persons providing these services are adequately prepared to handle contaminated individuals through detailed training classes, drills and exercises. Letters of Agreement with off-site organizations and individuals for medical support are listed in Appendix B.
16.1 ON-SITE FIRST AID First aid assistance at the CR-3 ISFSI is designed to handle a wide range of injuries.
This task is accomplished by medical response personnel. The medical response personnel are on-site individuals trained in basic first aid procedures. Medical response personnel are trained to handle injured personnel, with or without radiological considerations.
16.2 MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION Transportation of injured personnel is available via local emergency medical services, other CR-3 vehicles, or private vehicles. When personnel are transported to Bayfront Health Seven Rivers hospital while in a contaminated condition, a person trained in radiological monitoring will be dispatched to monitor and maintain radiological controls.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 16-1
16.3 OFF-SITE MEDICAL SUPPORT The Bayfront Health Seven Rivers hospital in Crystal River, Florida has medical facilities capable of handling various types of injuries. Bayfront Health Seven Rivers hospital is capable of treating patients with injuries of a non-radiological or radiological nature.
Bayfront Health Seven Rivers hospital will provide for hospital treatment, medical examinations, and laboratory services for those employees, and other persons designated by the licensee. Medical records, including bioassay records, will be maintained permanently by the hospital.
When local facilities are considered inadequate because of the nature or severity of the injury sustained, the injured person may be referred to a trauma center in Florida or to Oak Ridge, Tennessee - REAC/TS for hospitalization. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) operates a research hospital in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for the U.S. Department of Energy.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 16-2
17.0 EMERGENCY TERMINATION AND RECOVERY The licensee has established general plans described in the following sections to yield RECOVERY from potential emergencies at the CR-3 ISFSI. The recovery organization will be based on the normal organization and would function with the senior management position being responsible for site activities.
17.1 EMERGENCY TERMINATION AND NOTIFICATION Termination of an emergency status is the responsibility of the EC. The EC is also responsible for providing notification of the emergency termination and initiation of RECOVERY operations to the NRC, State of Florida (SWO), the CR-3 ERO, and other organizations that may be providing on-site support.
17.2 RECOVERY OPERATIONS RECOVERY operations begin immediately following emergency termination and will address the specific emergency circumstances.
RECOVERY planning includes equipment to be repaired or replaced, licensing implications, special training requirements, offsite support, and determination of causes and consequences. Site procedures addressing RECOVERY operations provide an outline for a short term RECOVERY plan.
The ISFSI Site Director shall be responsible for the development and implementation of the RECOVERY plan and shall provide for detailed monitoring of the implementation and status reporting. The ISFSI Site Director also has the authority to revise or halt activities as circumstances dictate.
The RECOVERY will be terminated by the CR-3 senior management position after the ISFSI is returned to a stable condition.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 17-1
18.0 EXERCISE AND DRILLS Periodic exercises are conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities. Periodic drills are conducted to develop and maintain key skills.
Deficiencies as a result of exercises or drills are identified and corrected.
18.1 BIENNIAL EXERCISE AND DRILL A Biennial Exercise is conducted and tests the capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within emergency preparedness plans and organizations. The State of Florida, the Citrus County Sheriffs Office and local support organizations (firefighting, ambulance and medical services) will be invited to participate to verify this capability to respond to an emergency scenario requiring response.
Drills are conducted for the purpose of testing, developing, and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders. Exercise and Drill scenarios will include, at a minimum, the following:
- Basic objective(s) of the exercise / drill.
- Date(s), time period, place(s), and participating organizations.
- A time schedule of real and simulated initiating events.
- A narrative summary describing the conduct of the drill to include such items as simulated casualties, offsite fire assistance, rescue of personnel, and use of protective clothing.
A remedial exercise will be conducted if it is determined that the emergency plan was not satisfactorily tested during the biennial exercise such that the NRC cannot find reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.
IOEP REV. 2 Page 18-1
18.2 TRAINING DRILLS Training drills serve as elements of training programs in which individuals demonstrate their ability to perform assigned emergency functions. During a training drill, on-the-spot correction of erroneous performance should be made and a demonstration of the proper performance should be offered. Problems should be noted for discussion as part of the training drill critique. Training drills shall be conducted at the FREQUENCY indicated below:

3.0 DEFINITIONS Selected terms used in Initiating Condition (IC) and EAL statements are set in all capital letters (e.g., ALL CAPS). These words 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 CR3 ISFSI or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to ISFSI equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guide (PAG) exposure levels.
CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY: The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. As applied to the CR3 ISFSI, the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is the Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) consisting of the DSC shell, the inner top and inner bottom cover plates, the siphon and vent block, the siphon and vent port cover plates, and the associated welds.
CONTROLLED AREA (CA): The area of land (approximately 884 acres) that is owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee. The CONTROLLED AREA is the area of land within the SITE BOUNDARY, as shown in Figure 2-2 of the DSAR. The PROTECTED AREA is located within the CONTROLLED AREA.
CREDIBLE SECURITY THREAT: A threat to the CR3 ISFSI confirmed and validated by Security per procedures or received over the Emergency Notification System (ENS) from the NRC.
EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL): A pre-determined, observable threshold for plant conditions that places the plant in a given emergency classification.
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 (NOUE) and ALERT.
HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward the CR3 ISFSI 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 CR3 ISFSI. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the 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.
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.
IOEP EAL Bases Manual REV. 1 Page 4 of 21
PROTECTED AREA: The area encompassed by physical barriers and to which access is controlled.
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 CR3 ISFSI. A SECURITY CONDITION does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.
SITE BOUNDARY: That line beyond which the land is not owned, leased, or otherwise controlled by the licensee. This line establishes the perimeter of the CONTROLLED AREA (CA).
UNUSUAL EVENT (UE): Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the ISFSI or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occur.

ATTACHMENT 1 Page 3 of 9 Hazards and Other Conditions PD-HU1 Basis:
This IC addresses events that pose a threat to plant personnel or spent fuel 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 IC PD-HA1.
Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the ISFSI Shift Supervisor/Emergency Coordinator are essential for proper classification of a security-related event.
Classification of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to plant personnel and Off Site 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].
EAL #1 references the Security Shift Supervisor 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 § 2.390 information.
EAL #2 addresses the receipt of a CREDIBLE SECURITY THREAT. The credibility of the threat is assessed in accordance with Security procedures.
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.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via Initiating Condition PD-HA1.

This as reported by the Security includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, Shift Supervisor. 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 CR3 ISFSI. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the CONTROLLED AREA).
IOEP EAL Bases Manual REV. 1 Page 10 of 21
ATTACHMENT 1 Page 5 of 9 Hazards and Other Conditions PD-HA1 Basis:
This IC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION.
Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the ISFSI Shift Supervisor/Emergency Coordinator are essential for proper classification of a security-related event.
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 or sheltering). The ALERT declaration will also heighten the awareness of Offsite Response Organizations, allowing them to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions.
This IC 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 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.

ATTACHMENT 1 Page 9 of 9 ISFSI Malfunction E-HU1 Basis:
This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a dry shielded canister containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage canister 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 canister or fuel from storage.
The existence of damage is determined by radiological survey. NEI 99-01, Revision 6, November 2012, Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors, Section 8, Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) ICs/EALs recommends using 2 times the site-specific cask specific technical specification allowable radiation level as the EAL. The technical specification multiple of 2 times 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 dry shielded canister and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded canister, 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 canister.
Security-related events for ISFSIs are covered under ICs PD-HU1 and PD-HA1.
An UNUSUAL EVENT in this EAL is categorized on the basis of the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude that a loaded Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is damaged or violated while in transit or storage.
This EAL applies to emergency conditions affecting a spent fuel DSC caused by an accident or natural phenomena. This EAL would be applicable at all times in all modes for a loaded DSC from the time the lid is installed, during transport to the INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) and while stored in the Horizontal Storage Module (HSM).
As provided in the Transnuclear Standardized NUHOMS System Technical Specifications, Section 5.2.4 (Radiation Protection Program) and Section 5.4.2 (HSM or HSM-H Dose Rate Evaluation Program) contain radiation dose levels for the DSC that should not be exceeded based on whether the DSC is being transported inside the fuel transfer cask or while it is stored in the HSM. Keeping in line with NEl guidance that a UNUSAL EVENT warranted for radiation conditions at a level of twice the Technical Specification value, the values chosen for EAL E-HU1 represent these values. The Note in the EAL provides guidance on where the radiation readings are to be taken when evaluating this EAL.
