Monticello and Prairie Island Application to Transition to a Standard Emergency Plan (Based on NUREG-0654, Revision 2) and a Single Emergency Operations Facility February 3, 2021
Agenda
- Purpose
- Proposed Changes
- Schedule 2
Purpose 3
Discuss a proposed License Amendment Request (LAR) to develop an Xcel Energy Standard Emergency Plan and to transition to a single Emergency Operations Facility for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) and the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plants (PINGP).
- Transition to a Standard Emergency Plan (E-Plan) following the NUREG-0654, Revision 2, format.
Proposed Changes 4
Designed to address applicable elements of NUREG-0654, Rev. 2 Maintain 60/90-minute augmented ERO response (current licensing basis)
Standardizes positions/titles for the augmented ERO Moves administrative positions to Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs)
Remove references to functions governed under other licensing documents, e.g., Fire Protection Establishes site-specific annexes to the Standard E-Plan Incorporates Xcel Energy corporate emergency plan Onsite EOFs consolidated to a single EOF located in Minneapolis Standard Emergency Plan 5
- Standard E-Plan contains annexes providing site specific information related to:
Letters of Agreement - State/local response organizations Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (OSC) descriptions Communications capabilities Alert Notification System (ANS) description Standard Emergency Plan - Annexes 6
Standard Emergency Plan - Staffing 7
Standard Emergency Plan Command and Control 8
Purpose Optimize use of Fleet resources in ERO Focus TSC Staff on Onsite response Current Back-Up EOF will become the single EOF Same access to plant information as current EOFs The existing Back-Up EOF has the ability to serve as an EOF in accordance with the guidance of NUREG-0696 Back-Up EOF has already demonstrated ability to function as EOF in Drills/Evaluated Exercises Multi-site Drill to be performed to demonstrate capability Single EOF 9
- Single EOF easily accessible in downtown Minneapolis
- Located beyond 25 miles from both nuclear plant sites requiring Commission approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Subsection IV.E, Emergency Facilities and Equipment, Item 8.b Separate enclosure focused on information needed for Commission review and approval
- Near site location established for NRC / offsite responders consistent with Appendix E Single EOF 10
- - Evaluation of the Standard E-Plan
- - Xcel Energy Standard E-Plan
- - MNGP Detailed Description & Functional Analysis Attachments - Monticello Standard E-Plan Annex, ERO Change Summary and Justification Matrix
- - PINGP Detailed Description & Functional Analysis Attachments - Prairie Island Standard E-Plan Annex, ERO Change Summary and Justification Matrix
- - Evaluation of the consolidation of site EOFs and their common back-up to a single EOF License Amendment Request Content 11
- Proposed date for LAR submittal - May 2021
