10 CFR 50.54(q) requires that a licensee follow and maintain in effect '

emergency plans which meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E.

10 CFR 50.47(b)(4) requires in part that the licensee use a standard emergency classification and action level scheme.

Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) EM-202, " Duties of the Emergency Coordinator," provides instructions and guidelines to be utilized by the Emergency Coordinator during initiation of the Radiological Emergency Response Plan.

Section 5.g of Enclosure 1 to EPIP EM-202 indicates an Alert is the l appropriate classification for the "all alarms lost" condition.

Section 6.0, " Records and Notifications," of EPIP EM-202 requires the retention of significant information for accident reconstruction.

or equal to 15 minutes would be classified as a Sitel rea Emergency I whereas Paragraph 5.g of Enclosure 1 to Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) EM 202 states that the condition of "all alarms lost" for greater than or equal to 15 minutes with plant transient would be classified as a Site Area Emergency.
