Davis-Besse Unit 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report 13.3 DAVIS-BESSE EMERGENCY PLAN The Davis-Besse Emergency Plan is a separate and complete document, submitted to and approved by the NRC in accordance with the operating license for the facility. The following description of the Emergency Plan is just a brief overview. For a more comprehensive description refer to the Emergency Plan itself.
13.3.1 Purposes and Objectives 13.3.1.1 Purpose of Emergency Preparedness The purpose of emergency preparedness is to provide a mechanism that would be utilized in making decisions in the event of an emergency, and to assure that the necessary equipment, supplies, and essential services are available.
13.3.1.2 Objectives of the Emergency Plan The objectives of the Emergency Plan are as follows:
- 1. Outline the most effective course of action required to safeguard the public and station personnel in the event of an emergency.
- 2. To establish an emergency organization and assign responsibilities in order to direct the response to an emergency condition or radiological incident and to limit the consequences of the incident.
- 3. Terminate or mitigate the radiological consequences of an emergency, both onsite and offsite.
- 4. Notification and coordination of offsite supporting organizations as required.
- 5. To establish procedures to identify and classify the emergency condition.
- 6. Evaluate the necessity for public protection actions and implement any protective actions deemed appropriate to protect members of the general public and station personnel.
- 7. Provide for the training of all emergency response personnel.
- 8. To describe emergency facilities and communication systems and their use.
13.3.2 Emergency Plan Interrelationships The Emergency Plan should not, by itself, be considered the primary working document to be used during an emergency. The purpose of the Emergency Plan, is to classify emergencies according to their nature and severity, assign responsibilities for actions, and to clearly outline the most effective course of action required to safeguard the public and station personnel in the event of an emergency.
Interrelationships of this plan with procedures, other plans, and emergency arrangements are summarized as follows:
13.3-1 UFSAR Rev 30 10/2014
Davis-Besse Unit 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report
- 1. Detailed actions to be taken by individuals in response to onsite emergency conditions are described in the Emergency Plan Procedures. These procedures provide the mechanisms for response as outlined in this plan.
- 2. Station procedures have been developed and issued to provide the implementing instructions in other areas. The DBNPS Physical Security Plan and Procedures and this plan have been coordinated to ensure that appropriate emergency actions can be taken. For example, the Physical Security Plan and Procedures contain provisions for Emergency response personnel and vehicle access when required by the procedures.
- 3. The DBNPS Radiation Protection Section Administrative Procedures define the administrative controls such as radiological control limits and precautions, use of personnel monitoring devices, use of protective clothing and equipment, personnel decontamination, etc. In addition, Chemistry and Radiation Protection procedures provide instructions on performing surveys, analyzing samples, operating health physics/radiation protection equipment, etc. The pertinent information and details provided in these documents have either been incorporated into the plan and/or implementing procedures, or have been appropriately referenced.
- 4. The Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS) has also formulated emergency and administrative procedures which are directed toward generic emergencies, such as floods, severe weather conditions and toxic material releases. The methods and equipment developed for such emergencies are available for use, when appropriate, in responding to emergencies covered by the Emergency Plan.
- 5. The coordination and liaison with offsite organizations and agencies having radiological emergency planning responsibilities in the immediate offsite area, include formal agreements that individual organizations will perform their respective emergency functions in response to information or requests for DBNPS.
Continuing liaison with the offsite organizations insures compatibility and proper interfacing with this plan.
13.3.3 Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Supporting Station Procedures Detailed procedures direct the implementation of the Emergency Plan. Detailed Station Procedures prescribe appropriate courses of action necessary to place the plant in a safe condition and limit the consequences for each classification of incident and/or emergency.
Procedures provided for normal activities already covered by DBNPS procedures (e.g.,
calibration of portable survey instruments, etc.) have not been listed. Implementation will only incorporate certain aspects of the station's operating procedures, radiological control procedures, and physical security procedures, where they are required for clarification.
