SEOC will relinquish operational control and will '
continue operation by supporting the FEOC. The director of EPD will be in charge of FEOC operations, ;
while the senior staff member of EPD assumes charge of SEOC operations. -
- 5. If the immediacy of the emergency is such that the SEOC/FEOC is not yet operational, and there is insufficient time for DHEC to confirm the VEGP's assessment, local government will initiate those protective actions recommended by VEGP.
- 6. To the extent available, local resources will be employed in response to emergencies at VEGP. The state arranges for emergency response capabilities that are not available at the local government level.
, 7. The state and county governments will activate their l radiological emergency response plans as warranted by the emergency action levels.
The organizational structure for state operations is illustrated.

Results of the analysis by the- l4 operations staff will be forwarded to chemistry for further E calculations. These actions may be carried out by TSC personnel 2
using the ERF computer system if the control room is unable to complete the information search in a ti.mely manner.
The Engineering Department will determine fission product core inventories per Procedure 91504. Nomographs will be used to l4 determine core inventory based on power history, duration at i
power, and shutdown to the end of power. The core inventory for each identified nuclide will be calculated. The data sheets

extent of core damage. These results are also forwarded to chemistry personnel. l l Chemistry personnel will coordinate core damage assessment activities and source term estimates, and provide post-accident sampling and analysis activities.

D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM i
! D.1 Summary of Emergency Classification Logic The classification system for the Emergency Plan for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) is based on four emergency classes. The classes determine initial steps to be taken by Georgia Power Company (GPC) on site and by corporate emergency response elements'and the actions which are taken by the offsite support organizations. An emergency class is an indicator of l the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification
! system include the status of plant systems, radiation levels in J
plant areas, and the rate of release of radioactivity from the plant.
! The emergency classes are used by offsite authorities to determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of
- members of the public are the responsibility of local and State i
governments. Subsequent actions by these authorities are based on projected or potential radiation exposures to individuals in the population. The actions recommended by these authorities have been identified as part of their emergency planning efforts. The projected or potential exposures are based on predictions made by GPC from parameters such as status of O reactor core and core cooling systems, effluent releace rates, effluent radioactivity levels, containment radiation level, containment pressure, actual meteorological conditions, or measurements of offsite levels of radioactivity made by GPC l " D t % e.T A and/or State radiological response teams.
- M i
= .
l D.2 Emergency Class Description and Response The emergency classes are as follows:
- Notification of Unusual Event (NUE).
- Alert.
1
- Site Area Emergency.
- General Emergency.
The NUE and Alert classes give early notification of minor events that could lead to more serious consequences or that might indicate more serious conditions which have not yet fully developed. A Site Area Emergency reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring but where core melt is not likely to occur. In this situation, onsite and l1 O offsite GPC mobilized.
substantial emergency personnel and monitoring teams are A General Emergency involves actual or imminent core degradation or melting with the potential for REV O 11/30/84 D-1 REV 1 5/85 ,

The weekly silent-test capability allows a siren to operate briefly at full power at an audio frequency too high (20 KHz) to radiate from the horn assembly. This allows a complete test of the siren without disturbing the neighborhood. The silent test will be done once a week for ,
every siren in the VEGP siren system by VEGP personnel.
The quarterly siren visit, also performed by VEGP personnel, will involve an inspection and test of each siren -
conducted once every three months. It will require a visit to
() each siren by a patrol person. Inspection and test procedures with an associated checklist are being prepared for these visits.
Once each year, in cooperation with State and local officials, a complete siren-system exercise will be conducted.
During this exercise, all sirens will be operated in a test j mode, after advance notice of the test has been given to the public. Any reports by the public of siren failures or of inadequate siren coverage will be investigated by VEGP.

. O VIBRANT is a microcomputer based program for rapidly, assessing the radiological impact of accidents at nuclear poGer plants.
l VIBRANT calculates whole body (5 cm depth) and infant thyroid 4 doses at various fixed downwind distances. Radionuclides considered primarily consist of noble gases and radiciodines.
Computer and manual dose calculation and projection capabilities will be complete and operational prior to fuel loading.
Actual meteorological data and release rate data will be obtained from the ERF computer and entered into"the dose l1 l4 3 l !
projection computer. Minimum meteorological data to be obtained will include windspeed, wind direction, and a stability indicator (either vertical temperature difference or standard j deviation of the horizontal wind direction). Plant-specific default values will be part of the program for use when meteorological or release rate data are not available. The computer will calculate dispersion, dose rates, and plume arrival times.
~
Whole body doses and dose rates are calculated assuming l4 1 submersion in a finite cloud. Thyroid doses and dose rates are based on the inhalation of radiciodines at the ambient ground l4 level concentration. Default release rates are available for i;
eight possible accidents in the event that measured source term z data are not available or the case where bounding calculations are desired. Default values for various accident source terms are presented in Tables I-1 through I-8. l l4 Meteorological data are obtained and utilized as input to the dose model, as described i'n section H.4.1.a. Data from the primary meteorological-' monitoring system can be accessed l4 directly from the control room, TSC, and EOF, and is also available to NRC personnel and State representatives at the j site. In the event the primary instruments are unavailable, the l1 1 backup meteorological tower is equipped with instruments at the 5 2
j lO-m level to provide parameters relevant to atmospheric dispersion calculations (i.e., wind speed, wind direction, and sigma theta). )(eather forecast information can be obtained 4
directly from the National Weather Service located at Bush 4 Fieldy h do,n arci.I M e4erre.

(_ automatic sampling equipment near the intakes of water treatment i plants. Composite samples from each location are collected monthly. Grab samples of finishyd drinking water are taken l monthly. Monthly samples are analyzed for gross beta and garma isotopics. Quarterly composites,.which are prepared from the monthly samples, are analyzed for tritium.
Sediment from the Savannah River is collected semiannually from control and indicator locations using manual grab sampling techniques. Sediment samples are analyzed for gamma isotcpics.
Milk samples are collected semimonthly by taking grab samples from milk supplies at control and indicator stations. These samples are analyzed for gamna. isotopics.
.s Vegetation is sampled monthly during the growing season by 2
collecting grab samples of grass or leafy vegetation at control and indicator stations. Vegetation samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics.
The normal environmental sample analysis is performed at the Georgia Power Company's Environmental Laboratory located in Smyrna, Georgia.
'] During and/or subsequent to emergency cond'itions, the routine x_) environmental monitoring program will be modified to collect and analyze additional samples from existing stations. The need for additional samples will be determined by the dose assessment manager.
The dose assessment manager will coordinate sampling and analysis activities for those areas that may have been impacted by a release from the plant. Sample results will be transmitted back to the dose assessment manager by the manager, radiation safety or designated representative. M // 3 4
I.7 Use of Field Monitoring Data Field monitoring data may be used to refine dose projections.
If three sequential samples or readings are obtained which deviate consistently from projections by a factor of three or more the dose assessment manager may adjust dose projections and modify protective action recommendations as warranted. This 2 would apply particularly to source terms calculated from gross readings such as containment or steam line monitors.
Since there are no elevated release points at VEGP, the use of Is '-
submersion-in-a-finite-cloud model is a conservative (worst 73 case) assumption. While the possibility of an elevated release ;
is unlikely, it may occur. All field readings will be taken as

- D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
! D.1 Summary of Emergency Classification Logic
! The classification system for the Emergency Plan for the Vogtle i Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) is based on four emergency j classes. The classes determine initial steps to be taken by
! response elements'and the actions which are taken by the offsite j support organizations. An emergency class is an indicator of t
the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification I system include the status of plant systems, radiation levels in plant areas, and the rate of release of radioactivity from the plant.
l The emergency classes are used by offsite authorities to
- , determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their i emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of '
l members of the public are the responsibility of local and State
- governments. Subsequent actions by these authorities are based j on projected or potential radiation exposures to individuals in
! the population. The actions recommended by these authorities
- have been identified as part of their emergency planning
! efforts. The projected or potential exposures are based on
! predictions made by GPC from parameters such as status of i reactor core and core cooling systems, effluent release rates, i effluent radioactivity levels, containment radiation level, i
containment pressure, actual meteorological conditions, or measurements of offsite levels of radioactivity made by GPC and/or State radiological response teams.
M -
D.2 Emergency Class Description and Response The emergency classes are as follows:
Notification of Unusual Event (NUE).
- Alert.
- Site Area Emergency.
- General Emergency.
The NUE and Alert classes give early notification of minor events that could lead to more serious consequences or that might indicate more serious conditions which have not yet fully developed. A Site Area Emergency reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring but where core
- melt is not likely to occur. In this situation, onsite and offsite CPC emergency personnel and monitoring teams are l1 -
mobilized. A General Emergency involves actual or imminent I substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for REV O 11/30/84 D-1 REV 1 5/85 ,,

Insert for P. D-1 The Emergency Classes and the Bner Action Levels which determine them, are agreed on by GPC and state and local authorities.
The Energency Action Levels will be review by these parties annually.

MEANS FOR PROVIDING PROMPT ALERTING AND NOTIFICATION OF THE PUBLIC A. INTRODUCTION Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ is the obligation of State and local government or other responsible authority. The responsibility that means exist for this purpose rests with Georgia Power Company, An overview of these means excluding the SRP site is given in this Appendix.
Initial notification of the public will occur in a manner consistent with assuring the public health and safety. The dasign objective for the system is to meet the acceptance criteria which are provided in a subsequent section of this Appendix. The design objective does not constitute a guarantee that prompt notification can be provided for everyone with 100%
assurance, or that the system when tested under actual field ,
conditions will meet the design objective in all cases.
In the event of an emergency the Emergency Director at VEGP

emergency class are delineated in Section D in the main body of this emergency plan. The capability for 24-hour-per-day
' alerting and notification of offsite response organizations and plant emergency personnel is described in Section E.
Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume l1 l2 exposure pathway EPZ will be accomplished by a combination of serveral means. Initial alerting will be made primarily by both automatically actuated tone-alert radios and a system of fixed sirens. Those who are not alerted by the primary means will be alerted by' vehicles or boats equipped with Having sirens, been and/or alerted, =
loudspeakers, or by door-to-door contact. -
the public will turn on their radio or television to receive additional instructions from the Emergency Broadcasting System (EBS). 2 e

three cycles: a weekly silent test, a quarterly site visit, and an annual siren exercise.
The weekly silent-test capability allows a siren to operate briefly at full power at an audio frequency too high (20 KHz) to radiate from the horn assembly. This allows a complete test of the siren without disturbing the neighborhood. The silent test will be done once a week for .
every siren in the VEGP siren system by VEGP personnel.
l The quarterly siren visit, also performed by VEGP personnel, will involve an inspection and test of each siren -
conducted once every three months. It will require a visit to each siren by a patrol person. Inspection and test procedures with an associated checklist are being prepared for these visits.
Once each year, in cooperation with State and local officials, a complete siren-system exercise will be conducted.
. During this exercise, all sirens will be operated in a test mode, after advance notice of the test has been given to the public. Any reports by the public of siren failures or of inadequate siren coverage will be investigated by VEGP.
The objective of the overall test and maintenance program j will be to maintain system availability exceeding the 90% goal established by FEMA for such systems.

VIBRANT calculates whole body (5 cm depth) and infant thyroid 4 doses at various fixed downwind distances. Radionuclides considered primarily consist of noble gases and radiciodines.
Computer and manual dose calculation and projection capabilities will be complete and operational prior to fuel loading. ...-
Actual meteorological data and release rate data will be ly obtained from the ERF computer and entered into"the dose l4 projection computer. Minimum meteorological data to be obtained l l will include windspeed, wind direction, and a stability indicator (either vertical temperature difference or standard deviation of the horizontal wind direction). Plant-specific default values will be part of the program for use when meteorological or release rate data are not available. The computer will calculate dispersion, dose rates, and plume arrival times.
~
Whole body doses and dose rates are calculated assuming l4 submersion in a finite cloud. Thyroid doses and dose rates are '
based on the inhalation of radiciodines at the ambient ground l4 level concentration. Default release rates are available for eight possible accidents in the event that measured source term z
! data are not available or the case where bounding calculations are desired. Default values for various accident source terms l
are presented in Tables I-1 through I-8.
l4 l
Meteorological data are obtained and utilized an input to the dose model, as described i'n section H.4.1.a. Data from the primary meteorological' monitoring system can be accessed l4 directly from the control room, TSC, and EOF, and is also available to NRC personnel and State representatives at the l site. In the event the primary instruments are unavailable, the backup meteorological tower is equipped with instruments at the 5l1 2 1
lO-m level to provide parameters relevant to atmospheric dispersion calculations (i.e., wind speed, wind direction, and sigma theta). )f'nther e forecast information can be obtained directly from the National Weather Service located at Bush 4 Fieldy h t.'o,n erd.I Mp/= w. %8- E't sk *2 g g g y @ pn maw oneine a.el me,ho kab e\oy, MI A'C-

( Samples from drinking water supplies are taken by continuous automatic sampling equipment near the intakes of water treatment plants. Composite samples from each location are collected monthly. Grab samples of finished drinking water are taken monthly. Monthly samples are analyzed for gross beta and gamma isotopics. Quarterly composites, which are prepared from the monthly samples, are analyzed for tritium.
Sediment from the Savannah River is collected semiannually from' control and indicator locations using manual grab sampling techniques. Sediment samples are analyzed for gamma isotcpics.
Milk samples are collected semimonthly by taking grab samples from milk supplies at control and indicator stations. These samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics.
Vegetation is sampled monthly during the growing season by 2
collecting grab samples of grass or leafy vegetation at control and indicator stations. Vegetation samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics.
The normal environmental sample analysis is performed at the Georgia Power Company's Environmental Laboratory located in Smyrna, Georgia.
( During and/or subsequent to emergency cond'itions, the routine
(. environmental monitoring program will be modified to collect and analyze additional samples from existing stations. The need for additional samples will be determined by the dose assessment manager.
The dose assessment manager will coordinate sampling and analysis activities for those areas that may have been impacted by a release from the plant. Sample results will be transmitted back to the dose assessment manager by the manager, radiation safety or designated representative. M //
4 I.7 Use of Field Monitoring Data Field monitoring data may be used to refine dose projections.
If three sequential samples or readings are obtained which deviate consistently from projections by a factor of three or more the dose assessment manager may adjust dose projections and modify protective action recommendations as warranted. This 2 would apply particularly to source terms calculated frem gross readings such as containment or steam line monitors.
Since there are no elevated release points at VEGP, the use of g, submersion-in-a-finite-cloud model is a conservative (worst s' case) assumption. While the possibility of an elevated release
( is unlikely, it may occur. All field readings will be taken as REV O 11/30/84 REV 1 5/85 REV 2 11/85 '

When l sampling is performed during normal operating conditions, fluid samples are directed to the chemical drain tank. This tank is 2 provided with a vent for release of gaseous samples to the plant vent.
Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) will provide backupj,/-

W0 I.3 Determination of Release Rate Section H of this plan describes the post-accident sampling system (PASS) and the process effluent radiation monitoring system (PERMS). These systems provide the required data to l perform a core damage assessment as per Procedure 91502. This procedure is based on the methodology developed by the lt l
l4 Westinghouse Owners Group. :
The operations staff will determine whether the reactor core was l4 uncovered, make an estimate of time uncovered, and record core exit temperature and specific radiation monitoring readings from l PERMS. Additionally, the operations staff will determine the amount of water added to the reactor coolant system during the l4 accident. Control room actions and required information are described in Procedure 91503. Results of the analysis by tho' l4 operations staff will be forwarded to chemistry for further I calculations. These actions may be carried out by TSC personnel ,
using the ERF computer system if the control room is unable to complete the information search in a ti.nely manner.
The Engineering Department will determine fission product core inventories per Procedure 91504. Nomographs will be used to l4 determine core inventory based on power history, duration at power, and shutdown to the end of power. The core inventory for each identified nuclide will be calculated. The data sheets containing the core inventory will be used to determine the extent of core damage. These results are also forwarded to chemistry personnel.
Chemistry personnel will coordinate core damage assessment activities and source term estimates, and provide post-accident sampling and analysis activities. Data obtained per Procedure 91503 and Procedure 91504 are combined in the charts and graph to determine core damage. The charts and graphs are part of Procedure 91502 and include REV O 11/30/84 REV 1 5/85 REV 2 11/85 I-3 REV 4 2/86

D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM l
D.1 Summary of Emergency Classification Logic .
The classification system for the Emergency Plan for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) is based on four emergency classes. The classes determine initial steps to be taken by Georgia Power Company (GPC) on site and by corporate emergency response elements'and the actions which are taken by the offsite support organizations. An emergency class is an indicator of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of plant systems, radiation levels in
! plant areas, and the rate of release of radioactivity from the plant.
The emergency classes are used by offsite authorities to determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of members of the public are the responsibility of local and State governments. Subsequent actions by these authorities are based on projected or potential radiation exposures to individuals in the population. The actions recommended by these authorities have been identified as part of their emergency planning efforts. The projected or potential exposures are based on predictions made by GPC from parameters such as status of reactor core and core cooling systems, effluent release rates, effluent r'adioactivity levels, containment radiation level, containment pressure, actual meteorological conditions, or j measurements of offsite levels of radioactivity made by GPC and/or State radiological response teams.
, THwtr A ass ( -
D.2 Emergency Class Description and Resoonse t
! Tb6 emergency classes are as follows:
- Notification of Unusual Event (NUE).
- Alert.
- Site Area Emergency.
- General Emergency.
The NUE and Alert classes give early notification of minor events that could lead to more serious consequences or that might indicate more serious conditions which have not yet fully developed. A Site Area Emergency reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring but where core melt is not likely to occur. In this situation, onsite and offsite GPC emergency personnel and monitoring teams are l1 mobilized. A General Emergency involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for REV O 11/30/84 I D-1 REV 1 5/85
Insert for P. D-1 The Baergency Classes and the Ener Action Levels which determine them, are agreed on by GPC and state and local authorities.
The Snergency Action Levels will be review by these parties annually.

The responsibility that means exist for this purpose rests with Georgia Power Company. An overview of these means excluding the SRP site is given in this Appendix.
Initial notification of the public will occur in a manner consistent with assuring the public health and safety. The design objective for the system is to meet the acceptance criteria which are provided in a subsequent section of this Appendix. The design objective does not constitute a guarantee that prompt notification can be provided for everyone with 100%
assurance, or that the system when tested under actual field l
condition.s will meet the design objective in all cases.
In the event of an emergency the Emergency Director at VEGP -
is responsible for notifying appropriate State and and local DOE's response organizations, The plantinitiating emergency personnel, conditions for each Savannah River Plant.
emergency class are delineated in Section D in the main body of this emergency plan. The capability for 24-hour-per-day alerting and notification of offsite response organizations and plant emergency personnel is described in Section E.
l Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume l1l2 exposure pathway EPZ will be accomplished by a combination of serveral means. Initial alerting will be made primarily by both automatically actuated tone-alert radios and a system of fixed sirens. Those who are not alerted by the primary means will be and/or alerted by' vehicles or boats equipped with sirens,Having been alerted, =;
loudspeakers, or by door-to-door contact. -
i the public will turn on their radio or television to receive additional instructions from the Emergency Broadcasting System (EBS). 2 l

B. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS In the event of a serious emergancy at VEGP, the primary means for alerting and providing initial instructions to the 2 public will be by a combination of tone-alert radios and a system of fixed sirens. The specific tone-alert radio systen to be employed is the National Oceanic and The Atmospheric National Weather Administration's (NOAA) Alert System.

The inspection, test and maintenance program is done in 6' three cycles: a weekly silent test, a quarterly site visit, and an annual siren exercise.
The weekly silent-test capability allows a siren to operate briefly at full power at an audio frequency too high (20 KHz) to radiate from the horn assembly. This allows a complete test of the siren without disturbing the neighborhood. The silent test will be done once a week for ,
! every siren in the VEGP siren system by VEGP personnel.
The quarterly siren visit, als'o performed by VEGP personnel, will involve an inspection and test of each siren -
conducted once every three months. It will require a visit to each siren by a patrol person. Inspection and test procedures with an associated checklist are being prepared for these visits.
! Once each year, in cooperation with State and local officials, a complete siren-system exercise will be conducted.
During this exercise, all sirens will be operated in a test mode, after advance notice of the test has been given to the ,
public. Any reports by the public of siren failures or of inadequate siren coverage will be investigated by VEGP.

Composite samples from each location are collected monthly. Grab samples of finished drinking water are taken monthly. Monthly samples are analyzed for gross beta and gamma is topics. Quarterly composites, which are prepared from the monthly samples, are analyzed for tritium. Sediment from the Savannah River is collected semiannually from" control and indicator locations using manual grab sampling techniques. Sediment samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics. Milk samples are collected semimonthly by taking grab samples from milk supplies at control and indicator stations. These samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics. Vegetation is, sampled monthly during the growing season by 2 collecting grab samples of grass or leafy vegetation at control and indicator stations. Vegetation samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics. The normal environmental sample analysis is performed at the Georgia Power Company's Environmental Laboratory located in Smyrna, Georgia. (( During and/or subsequent to emergency cond'itions, the routine environmental monitoring program will be modified to collect and analyze additional samples from existing stations. The need for additional samples will be determined by the dcse assessment manager. The dose assessment manager will coordinate sampling and analysis activities for those areas that may have been impacted by a release from the plant. Sample results will be transmitted back to the dose assessment manager by the manager, radiation safety or designated representative. M // 3 4 I.7 Use of Field Monitorig7 ]Lt. Field monitoring data may be u.ca to refine dose projections. If three sequential samples or readings are obtained which deviate consistently from projections by a factor of three or more the dose assessment manager may adjust dose projections and modify protective action recommendations as warranted. This 2 would apply particularly to source terms calculated from gross readings such as containment or steam line monitors. Since there are no elevated release points at VEGP, the use of g, submersion-in-a-finite-cloud model is a conservative (worst 8' case) assumption. While the possibility of an elevated release ( is unlikely, it may occur.

D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM D.1 Summary of Emergency Classification Logic The classification system for the Emergency Plan for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) .is based on four emergency classes. The classes determine initial steps to be taken by Georgia Power Company (GPC) on site and by corporate emergency response elements'and the actions which are taken by the offsite support organizations. An emergency class is an indicator of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of plant systems, radiation levels in plant areas, and the rate of release of radioactivity from the plant.
l The emergency classes are used by offsite authorities to
. determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of l members of the public are the responsibility of local and Stata governments. Subsequent actions by these authorities are based on projected or potential radiation exposures to individuals in the population. The actions recommended by these authorities have been identified as part of their emergency planning efforts. The projected or potential exposures are based on predictions made by GPC from parameters such as status of reactor core and core cooling systems, effluent release rates, effluent radioactivity levels, containment radiation level, containment pressure, actual meteorological conditions, or measurements of offsite levels of radioactivity made by GPC and/or State radiological response teams.
i AaM --
l D.2 Emergency Class Description and Resoonse l
The emergency classes are as follows:
Notification of Unusual Event (NUE).
~
l
- Alert.
- Site Area Emergency.
- General Emergency.
The NUE and Alert classes give early notification of minor events that could lead to more serious consequences or that might indicate more serious conditions which have not yet fully developed. A Site Area Emergency reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring but where core melt is not likely to occur. In this situation, onsite and offsite GPC emergency personnel and monitoring teams are l1 mobilized. A General Emergency involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for REV O 11/30/84 D-1 REV 1 5/85 ,
Insert for P. D-1 The Bnergency Classes and the Bnerge Action Levels which i
determine them, are agreed on by GPC and state and local authorities.
The Bnergency Action Levels will be review by these parties annually.

t MEANS FOR PROVIDING PROMPT ALERTING AND NOTIFICATION OF THE PUBLIC A. INTRODUCTION Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ is the obligation of State and local government or other responsible authority. The responsibility that means exist for this purpose rests with Georgia Power Company. An overview of these means excluding the SRP site is given in this Appendix.
1 Initial notification of the public will occur in a manner consistent with assuring the public health and safety. The design objective for the system is to meet the acceptance l criteria shich are provided in a subsequent section of this Appendix. The design objective does not constitute a guarantee l that prompt notification can be provided for everyone with 100%
assurance, or that the system when tested under actual field conditions.will meet the design objective in all cases.
In the event of an emergency the Emergency Director at VEGP -
l is responsible for notifying appropriate State and and local DOE's
, ~
response organizations, The plantinitiating emergency personnel, conditions for each Savannah River Plant.
emergency class are delineated in Section D in the main body of this emergency plan. The capability for 24-hour-per-day I
alerting and notification of offsite response organizations and plant emergency personnel is described in Section E.
Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume l1l2 exposure pathway EPZ will be accomplished by a combination of serveral means. Initial alerting will be made primarily by both automatically actuated tone-alert radios and a system of fixed sirens. Those who are not alerted by the primary means and/or will be alerted by vehicles or boats equipped with Having sirens, been alerted, e loudspeakers, or by door-to-door contact. -

every siren in the VEGP siren system by VEGP personnel.
- The quarterly siren visit, also performed by VEGP personnel, will involve an inspection and test of each siren -

C VIBRANT is a microcomputer based program for rapidly, assessing the radiological impact of accidents at nuclear poser plants.
VIBRANT calculates whole body (5 cm depth) and infant thyroid 4 doses at various fixed downwind distances. Radionuclides considered primarily consist of noble gases and radioiodines.
Computer and manual dose calculation and projection capabilities will be complete and operational prior to fuel loading. , , .
Actual meteorological data and release rate data will be ly obtained from the ERF computer and entered into'the dose g l4 projection computer. Minimum meteorological data to be obtained I will include windspeed, wind direction, and a stability indicator (either vertical temperature difference or standard deviation of the horizontal wind direction). Plant-specific default values will be part of the program for use when meteorological or release rate data are not available. The computer will calculate dispersion, dose rates, and plume arrival times.
~
Whole body doses and dose rates are calculated assuming l4 submersion in a finite cloud. Thyroid doses and dose rates are based ota the inhalation of radiciodines at the ambient ground l4 level concentration. Default release rates are available for eight possible accidents in the event that measured source term A data are not available or the case where bounding calculations are desired. Default values for various accident source terms are presented in Tables I-1 through I-8. l l4 Meteorological data are obtained and utilir.ed as input to the dose model, as described i'n section H.4.1.a'. Data from the primary meteorological monitoring system can be accessed l4 directly from the control room, TSC, and EOF, and is also available to NRC personnel and State representatives at the site. In the event the primary instruments are unavailable, the backup meteorological tower is equipped with instruments at the El1 2 10-m level to provide parameters relevant to atmospheric dispersion calculations (i.e., wind speed, wind direction, and sigma theta). )(enther forecast information can be obtained directly from the National Weather Service located at Bush 4 Fieldy h t'o,n rd.I Mrp4.w. ik8 pnmay ad beXV S'iskm2 l %a ww e mwo\ay. a l%==s ee-mgM.w, mb<.taput Aah a.nd lp3p A* Zu$h) G.&T' ^

Sediment from the Savannah River is collected semiannually from' control and indicator locations using manual grab sampling I techniques. Sediment samples are analyzed for gamma isotcpics.
Milk samples are collected semimonthly by taking grab samples from milk supplies at control and indicator stations. These samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics.

( During and/or subsequent to emergency cond'itions, the routine
( environmental monitoring program will be modified to collect and analyze additional samples from existing stations. The need for additional samples will be determined by the dose assessment manager.
The dose assessment manager will coordinate sampling and analysis activities for those areas that may have been impacted by a release from the plant. Sample results will be transmitted back to the dose assessment manager by the manager, radiation safety or designated representative. M //

I.7 Use of Field Monitoring Data Field monitoring data may be used to refine dose projections.
If three sequential samples or readings are obtained which deviate consistently from projections by a factor of three or more the dose assessment manager may adjust dose projections and modify protective action recommendations as warranted. This 2 l would apply particularly to source terms calculated from gross readings such as containment or steam line monitors.
Since there are no elevated release points at VEGP, the use of g ',

All samples are returned to the containment building under accident conditions. The sample return line inside the containment is vented for the release of gaseous samples. When sampling is performed during normal operating conditions, fluid samples are directed to the chemical drain tank. This tank is 2 provided with a vent for release of gaseous samples to the plant vent.

M8 I.3 Determination of Release Rate Section H of this plan describes the post-accident sampling system (PASS) and the process effluent radiation monitoring system (PERMS). These systems provide the required data to perform a core damage assessment as per Procedure 91502. This ly l4 procedure is based on the methodology developed by the I Westinghouse owners Group. :
The operations staff will determine whether the reactor core was l4 uncovered, make an estimate of time uncovered, and record core exit temperst're u and specific radiation monitoring readings from PERMS. Additionally, the operations staff will determine the l4 g
amount of water added to the reactor coolant system during the accident. Control room actions and required information are described in Procedure 91503. Results of the analysis by the - l4 operations staff will be forwarded to chemistry for further E calculations. These actions may be carried out by TSC personnel 2 using the ERF computer system if the control room is unable to complete the information search in a ti.mely manner.
The Engineering Department will determine fission product core inventories per Procedure 91504. Nomographs will be used to l4 determine core inventory based on power history, duration at power, and shutdown to the end of power. The core inventory for each identified nuclide will be calculated. The data sheets containing the core inventory will be used to determine the extent of core damage. These results are also forwarded to chemistry personnel.
Chemistry personnel will coordinate core damage als,essment ,
activities and source term estimates, and provide post-accident
- sampling and analysis activities. Data obtained per Procedure 1 91503 and Procedure 91504 are combined in the charts and graph to determine core damage. The charts and graphs are part of Procedure 91502 and include

D. EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM i D.1 Summary of Emergency Classification Logic The classification system for the Emergency Plan for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) is based on four emergency classes. The classes determine initial steps to be taken by Georgia Power Company (GPC) on site and by corporate emergency response elements'and the actions which are taken by the offsite support organizations. An emergency class is an indicator of the status of the plant. Inputs to the emergency classification system include the status of plant systems, radiation levels in plant areas, and the rate of release of radioactivity from the plant.
The emergency classes are used by offsite authorities to determine the level of preplanned actions to be taken by their emergency organizations. Protective actions taken on behalf of
- members of the public are the responsibility of local and State governments. Subsequent actions by these authorities are based on projected or potential radiation exposures to individuals in t the population. The actions recommended by these authorities have been identified as part of their emergency planning efforts. The projected or potential exposures are based on predictions made by GPC from parameters such as status of reactor core and core cooling systems, effluent release rates, effluent radioactivity levels, containment radiation level, containment pressure, actual meteorological conditions, or measurements of offsite levels of radioactivity made by GPC
, and/or State radiological response teams.
Asrt =
D.2 Emergency Class Description and Resoonse The emergency classes are as follows:
- Notification of Unusual Event (NUE).
- Alert.
- Site Area Emergency.
- General Emergency.
l The NUE and Alert classes give early notification of minor
! events that could lead to more serious consequences or that might indicate more serious conditions which have not yet fully developed. A Site Area Emergency reflects conditions where some l
significant releases are likely or are occurring but where core
! melt is not likely to occur. In this situation, onsite and offsite GPC emergency personnel and monitoring teams are l1 mobilized. A General Emergency involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for REV O 11/30/84 D-1 REV 1 5/85
Insert for P. D-1 The Bnergency Classes and the Energe Action Levels which determine them, are agreed on by GPC and state and local authorities.
The Energency Action Levels will be review by these parties annually.

The weekly silent-test capability allows a siren to operate briefly at full power at an audio frequency too high (20 KHz) to radiate from the horn assembly. This allows a complete test of the siren without disturbing the neighborhood. The silent test will be done once a week for ,
every siren in the VEGP siren system by VEGP personnel.
The quarterly siren visit, also performed by VEGP personnel, will involve an inspection and test of each siren -
conducted once every three months. It will require a visit to each siren by a patrol person. Inspection and test procedures with an associated checklist are being prepared for these visits.
Once each year, in cooperation with State and local officials, a complete siren-system exercise will be conducted.
During this exercise, all sirens will be operated in a test i mode, after advance notice of the test has been given to the public. Any reports by the public of siren failures or of inadequate siren coverage will be investigated by VEGP.

C VIBRANT is a microcompeter based program for rapidly, assessing the radiological impact of accidents at nuclear poser plants.
VIBRANT calculates whole body (5 cm depth) and infant thyroid 4 doses at various fixed downwind distances. Radionuclides 4
considered primarily consist of noble gases and radiciodines.
Computer and manual dose calculation and projection capabilities will be complete and operational prior to fuel loading. ...<
Actual meteorological data and release rate data will be ly obtained from the ERF computer and entered into'the dose l4 projection computer. Minimum meteorological data to be obtained E E will include windspeed, wind direction, and a stability indicator (either vertical temperature difference or standard deviation of the horizontal wind direction). Plant-specific default values will be part of the program for use when meteorological or release rate data are not available. The computer will calculate dispersion, dose rates, and plume arrival times.
~ '
Whole body doses and dose rates are calculated assuming l4 submersion in a finite cloud. Thyroid doses and dose rates are based on the inhalation of radiciodines at the ambient ground l4 level concentration. Default release rates are available for eight possible accidents in the event that measured source tera y-data are not available or the case where bounding calculations are desired. Default values for various accident source terms are presented in Tables I-1 through I-8. l '
~
l4 Meteorological data are obtained and utilized as input to the dose model, as described i~n section H.4.1.a. Data from the l4 primary meteorological' monitoring system can be accessed directly from the control room, TSC, and EOF, and is also available to NRC personnel and State representatives at the site. In the event the primary instruments are unavailable, the backup meteorological tower is equipped with instruments at the El1 2 10-m level to provide parameters relevant to atmosphe::ic '
dispersion calculations (i.e., wind speed, wind direction, and sigma theta).3 /eather forecast information can be obtained directly fromfthe National Weather Service located at Bush 4 Eieldy Q Cornherc M /*4 hern.

i Samples from drinking water supplies are taken by continuous C automatic sampling equipment near the intakes of water treatment plants. Composite samples from each location are collected monthly. Grab samples of finished drinking water are taken monthly. Monthly samples are analyzed for gross beta and gamma isotopics. Quarterly composites, which are preptred from the monthly samples, are analyzed for tritium.
Sediment from the Savannah River is collected semiannually from' control and indicator locations using manual grab sampling techniques. Sediment samples are analyzed for gamma isotcpics.
Milk samples are collected semimonthly by taking grab samples from milk supplies at control and indicator stations. These samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics.
Vegetation is sampled monthly during the growing season by 2
collecting grab samples of grass or leafy vegetation at control and indicator stations. Vegetation samples are analyzed for gamma isotopics.
The normal environmental sample analysis is performed at the Georgia Power Company's Environmental Laboratory located in Smyrna, Georgia.
( During and/or subsequent to emergency cond'itions, the routine
( environmental monitoring program will be modified to collect and analyze additional samples from existing stations. The need for additional samples will be determined by the dose assessment manager.
The dose assessment manager will coordinate sampling and analysis activities for those areas that may have been impacted by a release from the plant. Sample results will be transmitted back to th- dose assessment manager by the manager, radiation safety or designated representative. M // g 4
I.7 Use of Field Monitoring Data Field monitoring data may be used to refine dose projections.
If three sequential samples or readings are obtained which deviate consistently from projections by a factor of three or more the dose assessment manager may adjust dose projections and modify protective action recommendatiens as warranted. This 2 would apply particularly to source terms calculated from gross readings such as containment or steam line monitors.
Since there are no elevated release points at VEGP, the use of g.
submersion-in-a-finite-cloud model is a conservative (worst s' case) assumption. While the possibility of an elevated release
( is unlikely, it may occur. All field readings will be taken as REV O 11/30/84 REV 1 5/85 REV 2 11/85 I-10 REV 4 2/86
