A-2 Dresden Nuclear Emergency Response Oraanization Current Wording Proposed Wording Reason for Change Note: This table provides a summary of changes to documents comprising the Dresden Emergency Plan: EP-DR-1000.
Besides the changes associated with the permanent shutdown evaluated below, there are multiple editorial changes that are proposed in this license amendment request, i.e., they do not change the intent of the document. They do not impact the ability to comply with Regulatory Guidance or level of commitments made in the Emergency Plan. These changes are marked with revision bars within the Emergency Plan (except changes to step numbers); however, they are not specifically evaluated in the change assessment, since they are editorial. These include:
Changes in step numbers as a result of information which has been relocated or deleted.
Page number changes within the Table of Contents Changes in the Table of Contents which reflect changes made within the Plan Changes in Revision numbering and Revision History IEMA Technical has both the command authority for radiological aspects of a nuclear incident and the responsibility for performing various radiological functions. These functions include milk, water and food control, radiation exposure control for state emergency workers, and confirmatory accident assessment. During an emergency situation, IEMA Technical shall make protective action recommendations to the Governor.

OF CHANGES TO DRESDEN EMERGENCY PLAN Current Wording A qualified EAL assessor means any member of the plant staff who, by training and experience, is qualified to assess the indications or reports for validity and to compare the same to the EALs. A qualified EAL assessor may be, but need not be, a licensed operator or member of the ERO.
Qualified EAL assessors may be in the MGR or in another facility where emergency declarations are performed. A qualified EAL assessor does not include personnel such as chemists, radiation protection technicians, craft personnel, security personnel, and others whose positions require they report, rather than assess, abnormal conditions to the MGR.
The computerized data link to the NRG, referred to as the Emergency Response Data System (EROS),
continuously supplies specified plant data to the NRG.
The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) is notified at an Alert or higher classification with requests for assistance as necessary.

This change is in alignment with the site staffing changes being made in the Dresden Technical Specifications (TS), Administrative Controls License Amendment Request (LAR).3 This revision removes the computer data link to the NRG (EROS).
The permanent shutdown of the Dresden reactors and defueled status makes EROS references unnecessary within the Emergency Plan.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO DRESDEN EMERGENCY PLAN Current Wording The ANS is operated by local governmental agencies and maintained by Exelon Nuclear. To assure the ANS is maintained in an operational readiness posture, the local agencies have agreed to test the system (by sounding the sirens) on a periodic basis that meets or exceeds FEMA guidance and to report inoperable equipment to EP designated maintenance personnel.
The goal of the testing and maintenance program is to identify inoperable equipment in a timely manner and to restore equipment to a functional status commensurate with FEMA operability requirements as referenced in FEMA-REP-10, "Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants" Section E.6.2.1. In addition to this routine test and repair program, preventive maintenance of the ANS will be performed on an annual basis.
- 1) Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS): The NARS is a dedicated communications system that has been installed for the purpose of notifying state and local authorities of declared nuclear emergencies. This system links together the station Control Rooms, the EOF, TSCs and state and local authorities as appropriate. The specific design, operation, and responsibility for maintenance of the NARS systems vary between Exelon Nuclear regions. Note that some stations refer to NARS as Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS).
- 5) Emergency Response Data System (EROS): EROS will continuously supply the NRG with selected plant data points on a near real time basis. The selected data points are transmitted automatically to the NRG at approximately 1-minute intervals.

10 Reason for Change The revision deletes the reference to FEMA Rep 10 specific Step number E.6.2.1. The procedure has subsequently been revised and the step number is no longer applicable. FEMA Rep 1 O is still retained as an appropriate reference.
The revision removes reference to other station's NARs systems, as well as reference to the North East region's RECS systems. Both references are no longer applicable to the station specific Emergency Plan.
This revision removes the computer data link to the NRG (EROS) as communication portal.
The permanent shutdown of the Dresden reactors and defueled status makes EROS references unnecessary within the Emergency Plan.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO DRESDEN EMERGENCY PLAN Current Wording core damage occurring under accident conditions includes the following:
Containment Radiation Monitors: An indirect method used to determine the amount of core damage.
Applicable to Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) scenarios. Based upon an end-of-life source term and static nuclide ratio assumptions yielding a limited accuracy. Valid any time following an accident.
Core Temperatures: Methods such as Core Exit Thermocouple (CET), Peak Core Temperatures and Hot Leg Temperatures provide indirect methods used to indicate the type and/or amount of core damage. Applicable for all types of accidents. Valid any time following an accident.
Core Uncovery: Methods such as Core Uncovery Time, RVLIS Level and Source Range Monitor count rate provide indirect methods used to indicate the type of core damage (clad failure or fuel melt).
Applicable for all types of accidents. Provides a relatively accurate estimate of the state of the core early in the event. Valid any time following an accident.
Containment Hydrogen Concentration: An indirect method used to establish the type of core damage.
Applicable to LOCA type accidents where all the hydrogen generated by the metal-water reaction is released into containment. Valid any time following an accident.
Sample Analysis - Isotopic Ratio Comparison: A direct method used to establish the type of core damage. Compares expected isotopic ratios with a sample to determine a general core state. Applicable under all types of accidents. Valid any time following an accident.
Sample Analysis - Presence of Abnormal Isotopes: A direct method used to provide a go/no go indication of fuel melt by the presence of unusually high concentrations of the less volatile fission products.

Besides the changes associated with the permanent shutdown evaluated below, there are multiple editorial changes that are proposed in this license amendment request, i.e., they do not change the intent of the document. They do not impact the ability to comply with Regulatory Guidance or level of commitments made in the Emergency Plan. These changes are marked with revision bars within the Emergency Plan (except changes to step numbers);
however, they are not specifically evaluated in the change assessment, since they are editorial. These include:

The plant consists of three Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)
Nuclear Steam Supply Systems (NSSS) and turbine generators provided by General Electric Company. Unit 1 is a dual cycle boiling water reactor designed for a power output of 700 MWt and has officially been retired as of August 31, 1984. Units 2 and 3 are equipped with nuclear steam supply systems (NSSS) designed for a power output of 2957 MWt.
The station property consists of a 953-acre tract of land with boundaries generally following the Illinois River to the north, the Kankakee River on the south and east and the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway right-of-way on the west. Exelon is the sole owner of the 953-acre tract subject only to an easement of the U.S. Government for an access road to Dresden Island Lock and Dam maintained and operated by the U.S. Corps. of 1.1 Facility Description Dresden Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, is located in the Goose Lake Township of Grundy County in northeastern Illinois.
