Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license or construction permit,"

Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) requests an amendment to Renewed Facility License Number DPR-50 for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMI), Unit 1 (TMI-1). The proposed amendment would revise the site emergency plan (SEP) and Emergency Action Level (EAL) scheme for the permanently defueled condition after all irradiated fuel has been transferred from the Spent Fuel Pools (SFPs) to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The proposed changes are being submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for approval prior to implementation, as required under 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4), 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.B.2, and 10 CFR 72.44(f).

By letter dated June 20, 2017 (Reference 1), Exelon provided formal notification to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that Exelon had determined to permanently cease operations at TMI-1 on or about September 30, 2019. In Reference 2, Exelon provided formal notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii) certifying all fuel has been permanently removed from the TMI-1 reactor vessel and placed in the SFP. Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the 10 CFR Part 50 license for TMI-1 no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel.

TMI-1 is in the process of constructing an ISFSI with irradiated fuel beginning to be transferred in late 2021. On April 5, 2019 Exelon submitted the Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) (Reference 3) and the Spent Fuel Management Plan (SFMP) (Reference 4) for TMI-1. The PSDAR documents the TMI-1 expectation that all irradiated fuel be completely transferred to the ISFSI by the end of 2022.

Three Mile Island, Unit 2 (TMI-2), has a possession only license and is currently maintained in accordance with the NRC approved SAFSTOR condition (method in which a nuclear facility is placed and maintained in a condition that allows it to be safely stored and subsequently de contaminated) known as Post-Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS). Exelon maintains the emergency planning responsibilities for TMI-2, which is owned by TMI-2 Solutions, through a service agreement. This License Amendment Request (LAR) does not impact Exelon's ability to maintain the service agreement.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission TMI-1 Proposed Changes to the Emergency Plan Docket Nos. 50-289 March 4, 2021 Page 3 This change permits specific reductions in the size and makeup of the Emergency Response Organization due to the elimination of the design basis accident related to the spent fuel (fuel handling accident) based on the complete removal of all irradiated fuel from the spent fuel pools. To comport to the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents with all TMI-1 irradiated fuel in dry cask storage within the TMI-1 ISFSI, Exelon determined that replacement of the approved PDEP and Permanently Defueled Emergency Action Level (PD EAL) scheme (Reference 5) with the ISFSI Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) and the ISFSI Only Emergency Action Level scheme were warranted. The proposed changes are necessary to properly reflect the conditions of the facility while continuing to preserve the TMI-1 Decommissioning Trust Fund and the effectiveness of the emergency plan.

The proposed emergency plan continues to rely on previously granted exemptions from certain emergency planning requirements (Reference 6), as the basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect. These proposed IOEP changes have been determined to represent changes in both the EAL scheme and the staffing level previously approved to implement the PDEP and therefore in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q), require NRC approval prior to implementation.

The proposed changes have been evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(a)(1) using criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and Exelon has determined that this change involves no significant hazards consideration. Exelon has also determined that the proposed emergency plan changes satisfy the criteria for categorical exclusion in accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10) and do not require an environmental review. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment is required.

The description, technical and regulatory evaluation, significant hazards determination, and environmental considerations evaluation for the proposed amendment are contained in . Attachment 2 provides the proposed IOEP. Attachment 3 provides the ISFSI Only EALs and Bases Document. Attachment 4 provides a comparison of the proposed ISFSI Only EAL Bases Document to the corresponding information contained in NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," Revision 6 (Reference

  1. ). Attachment 5 contains a supporting calculation for this submittal.

In support of this license amendment discussions have been held with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and local response organizations. On January 21, 2021, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Radiation Protection (PA-BRP) and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) received the draft proposed changes of the TMI Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan and EAL scheme. contains acknowledgements from PA-BRP and PEMA that they have no comments or concerns at this time regarding the proposed TMI ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and EALs.

Exelon requests review and approval of the proposed license amendment by March 25, 2022, Once approved, the amendment will be implemented within 90-days following Exelon's submittal of written notification to the NRC that the irradiated fuel has been transferred out of the spent fuel pools and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI.

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION The proposed changes would change the Three Mile Island (TMI) Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Level (EAL) scheme to support the operation of the TMI, Unit 1, (TMI-1)

Independent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and would be implemented after all irradiated fuel has been removed from the Spent Fuel Pools (SFPs) and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI. This request contains the proposed TMI ISFSI Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) and the ISFSI Only EAL (IOEP-EAL) scheme for U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review and approval. The Emergency Plan encompasses both TMI-1 and Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2). Exelon maintains the emergency planning responsibilities for TMI-2, which is owned by TMI-2 Solutions (subsidiary of EnergySolutions), through a service agreement. This amendment request does not impact Exelon's ability to maintain the service agreement.

Implementation of the IOEP and IOEP-EALs would involve the establishment of administrative controls for radiological source term accumulation limits and methods to control the accidental dispersal of the radiological source.

The proposed IOEP continues to rely on previously approved exemptions from certain emergency planning requirements (Reference 8.1) as the basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect. The proposed TMI IOEP and ISFSI-Only EAL (IO-EAL) scheme are being submitted to the NRC for approval prior to implementation, as required under 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.B.2. Additional changes to the TMI Site Emergency Plan (SEP) and EAL scheme are warranted to reflect the storage of all fuel in the ISFSI facility.

The proposed IO-EAL scheme is based on NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors, Revision 6, (Reference 8.2) as appropriate after the transfer of all irradiated fuel from the SFP to the ISFSI.

The Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) (Reference 8.3) documented Exelon's expectation that all irradiated fuel would be completely transferred to the ISFSI by the end of 2022. To comport to the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents with all irradiated fuel being stored in dry cask storage within the ISFSI, Exelon determined that implementation of the IOEP and the IO-EAL scheme would be warranted. Consistent with that condition, the proposed emergency plan will be implemented within ninety (90) days following Exelon's submittal of written notification to the NRC that all irradiated nuclear fuel assemblies have been transferred out of the SFP and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI. Exelon has submitted a License Amendment Request to revise the TMI-1 Renewed Facility License to comport to the ISFSI-Only condition that there is no longer a requirement to return irradiated fuel to the SFPs (Reference 8.4). The proposed technical specification 5.2 stipulates that irradiated fuel shall not be stored in the SFPs (Reference 8.4).

TMI-1 will be using the NRC approved NAC International (NAC) MAGNASTOR Cask System (Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1031) to store their irradiated fuel. The robust nature and high integrity of the irradiated fuel storage system selected for use at the ISFSI is designed to prevent the release of radioactivity in the event of an accident, including environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquake and flooding). As a result of the high integrity dry shielded canisters design and the substantial protection afforded the canisters, leakage of fission products from a canister is not considered to be a credible event.

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 2 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes

2.0 BACKGROUND

By letter dated June 20, 2017 (Reference 8.5), Exelon provided formal notification to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that Exelon had determined to permanently cease operations at TMI-1 on or about September 30, 2019. In Reference 8.6, Exelon provided formal notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii) certifying all fuel has been permanently removed from the TMI-1 reactor vessel and placed in the SFP. Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), the 10 CFR Part 50 license for TMI-1 no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel.

On April 5, 2019 Exelon submitted the PSDAR (Reference 8.3) and the Spent Fuel Management Plan (SFMP) (Reference 8.7) for TMI-1. The PSDAR documents the TMI-1 expectation that all irradiated fuel be completely transferred to the ISFSI by the end of December of 2022.

The Emergency Plan encompasses both Three Mile Island Unit 1 (TMl-1) and Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2). Exelon maintains the emergency planning responsibilities for TMl-2, which is owned by TMI-2 Solutions, through a service agreement. This amendment request does not impact Exelon's ability to maintain the service agreement. TMI-2 has a possession only license and is currently maintained in accordance with the NRC approved SAFSTOR condition (method in which a nuclear facility is placed and maintained in a condition that allows it to be safely stored and subsequently decontaminated) known as Post-Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS). All fuel assemblies have been removed from the TMl-2 reactor and SFP.

By letter dated December 2, 2020 (Reference 8.8), the NRC issued the Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) and Permanently Defueled EAL scheme for TMI. The PDEP provides approved changes to the TMI SEP that reflect the significantly reduced risk associated with the irradiated fuel stored in the TMI-1 SFPs after it has sufficiently decayed such that the radiological impact of accidents is not expected to result in radioactive releases that exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) beyond the site boundary. The approval of the PDEP was predicated on the approved exemptions from portions of 10 CFR 50.47(b), 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV (Reference 8.1). The proposed IOEP continues to rely on these approved exemptions as the basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect.

Amendment 6, to the standardized NAC MAGNASTOR Cask System CoC No. 1031 revised the CoC technical specifications removing the requirement to return irradiated fuel to a SFP once it has been transferred to the ISFSI (Reference 8.9). The revised MAGNASTOR technical specification would not require a user to maintain SFP related programs when a SFP is no longer required or exists.

3.0 REASON FOR PROPOSED CHANGES The proposed amendment would replace the existing TMI PDEP and the associated PDEP EAL scheme (Reference 8.8) with the IOEP and the associated IO-EAL scheme to reflect the storage of all TMI-1 irradiated fuel in the TMI-1 ISFSI. The proposed changes reduce the scope of onsite emergency planning requirements to reflect the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents with all irradiated fuel in dry cask storage within the ISFSI and will allow the facility to transition to an emergency plan and EAL scheme specifically related to the storage of the irradiated fuel in the ISFSI. After all irradiated fuel is in dry cask storage within the ISFSI, the number and severity of potential radiological accidents possible at TMI are substantially lower.

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 3 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes There continues to be no need for offsite emergency response plans at TMI because no postulated design basis accident or reasonably conceivable beyond design basis accident can result in a radioactive release that exceeds Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) (Reference 8.10) beyond the site boundary. To comport to the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents with irradiated fuel in dry cask storage within the ISFSI, Exelon determined that replacement of the PDEP and associated EAL scheme with the IOEP and the IO-EAL scheme were warranted. The proposed changes are necessary to properly reflect the conditions of the facility and to maintain the effectiveness of the emergency plan.

The robust nature and high integrity of the irradiated fuel storage system selected for use at the ISFSI is designed to prevent the release of radioactivity in the event of an accident, including environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquake and flooding). As a result of the high integrity dry shielded canisters design and the substantial protection afforded the canisters, leakage of fission products from a canister is not considered to be a credible event.

The radioactive source term for an accidental release at the defueled reactor site is reduced by radioactive decay and transfer of irradiated fuel from the SFP to the ISFSI. Potential offsite doses were calculated at TMI-1 (Attachment 5) to verify that if a release of the remaining inventory of radioactive materials stored on site, after all the irradiated fuel has been transferred from the SFP to the ISFSI, were to occur, it would not exceed two times the applicable Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM),dose limits and therefore would not result in doses to the public above EPA PAGs beyond the unrestricted area boundary. Administrative controls will be in place to limit the dispersal of radioactive materials during decontamination and dismantling of radioactive systems, structures, and components (SSCs) contained in the non-operational nuclear unit.

The proposed revisions constitute a change in the emergency planning function commensurate with the ongoing and anticipated reduction in radiological source term at TMI-1.

4.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S Replacement of the TMI PDEP and associated EAL scheme with the IOEP and the IO-EAL scheme involves the following major changes to the TMI PDEP:

1) Removal of non-ISFSI-related emergency event types, including removal of emergency action levels related to the SFP,
2) Identification of the ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS) title as the position that assumes the Emergency Director (ED) responsibilities following an emergency declaration, and
3) Revision of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO).

The off-normal events and accidents addressed in the IOEP are related to the dry storage of irradiated nuclear fuel within the ISFSI and include only the off-normal, accident, natural phenomena, and hypothetical events and consequences presented in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for the standardized NAC MAGNASTOR Cask System CoC No. 1031. The FSAR accident analyses demonstrate that none of the hypothetical accidents analyzed has any consequential effect on the public. After all fuel is removed from the TMI-1 SFPs, there will no longer be any potential for the accidents previously addressed by the TMI PDEP that would increase risk to the health and safety of the public. These accidents included events specifically related to the storage of the irradiated fuel in the SFPs. After the transfer of all of the irradiated fuel from the SFP to the ISFSI, the SFPs and supporting systems will be drained and de-energized consistent with the PSDAR (Reference 8.3).

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 4 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes 4.1 Removal of Non-ISFSI Events from EAL Scheme The initiating conditions (ICs) and EALs associated with emergency classification in the current emergency plan are based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6 (Reference 8.2). Specifically, Appendix C of NEI 99-01 contains a set of ICs and EALs for permanently defueled nuclear power plants that had previously operated under a 10 CFR Part 50 license and have permanently ceased operations.

After all irradiated fuel has been removed from the SFPs and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI, the NEI 99-01, Appendix C ICs and EALs that are associated with the SFPs are no longer required to be in the emergency plan. Additionally, certain ICs and EALs whose primary function is not associated with the SFPs are also no longer required to be in the emergency plan when administrative controls are established to limit source term accumulation and the offsite consequences of uncontrolled effluent releases.

Therefore, proposed revisions to the ICs are shown in Table 4-1 in Bold-Italics and the deletions are shown using italicized strikethrough. The ICs being deleted are either associated only with SFP operation or are ICs for which administrative controls to limit possible effluent releases have been established.

Deletion of PD-RA2, PD-RU2, PD-MU1, and PD-HU2 PD-RA2, PD-RU2, PD-MU1, and PD-HU2 provide protection with fuel stored in the SPF. With all irradiated fuel removed from the SFP and relocated within dry casks placed in the ISFSI,

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 6 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes there are no longer any credible accident scenarios that could pose a radiological risk at the exclusion area boundary. There is no longer a need to provide the protection that these EALs afforded.

Modification of PD-HA1 and PD-HU1 With respect to the aircraft-related EALs; Interim Compensatory Measures (ICM) Order EA 026, "Issuance of Order for Interim Safeguards and Security Compensatory Measures for -

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1" (Reference 8.11), Section B.5.b mitigation strategies was issued and subsequent security-based ICs and EALs were provided to licensees in NRC Bulletin (BL) 2005-02, "Emergency Preparedness and Response Actions for Security Based Events" (Reference 8.12). BL 2005-02 was addressed to all holders of operating licenses for nuclear power reactors, except those who had permanently ceased operation and had certified that fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel.

In 2009, the NRC amended its security regulations adding new security requirements pertaining to nuclear power reactors. This rulemaking established and updated generically applicable security requirements similar to those previously imposed by Commission orders issued after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In the Statements of Consideration (SoC) for the Final Rule for Power Reactor Security Requirements (Reference 8.13), the Commission stated, in part:

"Current reactor licensees comply with these requirements through the use of the following 14 strategies that have been required through an operating license condition. These strategies fall into the three general areas identified by

§§ 50.54(hh)(2)(i), (ii), and (iii). The firefighting response strategy reflected in

§ 50.54(hh)(2)(i) encompasses the following elements: ....

7. Spent fuel pool mitigation measures" As such, the staff maintained EALs for potential or actual aircraft threats for facilities transitioning into decommissioning with irradiated fuel stored in a SFP, in addition to maintaining the mitigative strategies license conditions required by NRC Order EA-02-026.

The SoC further stated, in part:

"The NRC believes that it is inappropriate that § 50.54(hh) should apply to a permanently shutdown defueled reactor where the fuel was removed from the site or moved to an ISFSI. The Commission notes that the § 50.54(hh) do not apply to any current decommissioning facilities that have already satisfied the§ 50.82(a) requirements."

On November 28, 2011, the NRC issued a letter that rescinded Item B.5.b of the ICM Order EA-02-026 (Reference 8.14). The rulemaking codified generically applicable security requirements previously issued by orders and updated the existing power reactor security requirements.

The NRC has subsequently incorporated the strategies and guidelines under 10 CFR 50.54(h)(2) into 10 CFR 50.155(b)(2), Extensive Damage Mitigation Guidelines (EDMGs)

(Reference 8.15). 10 CFR 50.155(b)(2) provides strategies and guidelines to maintain or restore SFP cooling capabilities under the circumstances associated with loss of large areas of the plant impacted by the event, due to explosions or fire. However, as stated in 10 CFR 50.155(a)(2)(iv), this section does not apply after the certifications for permanent shutdown and

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 7 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes removal of fuel under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) have been submitted, and all of the irradiated fuel has been removed from the SFPs.

Neither the ICM Order EA-12-026 nor 10 CFR 155(b)(2) continue to apply to TMI after all of the irradiated fuel has been transferred to the ISFSI. Additionally, Exelon has requested the removal of the Mitigation Strategy License Condition form the TMI-1 Renewed Facility License (Reference 8.4). Therefore, the ICs deleted also include those associated with the mitigative strategies and response procedures for potential or actual aircraft attack procedures as the irradiated fuel has been removed from the SFP and is stored in the ISFSI.

4.2 Replacement of the "Shift Manager" with the "ISFSI Shift Supervisor" As provided in the PDEP, the Shift Manager (SM) position is staffed 24-hours per day, is the Onsite individual who initially assumes the role of the Emergency Director (ED), and who has authority and responsibility for control and mitigation of the emergency, including emergency response resources, coordination of radiological assessment activities, and recovery implementation. In the proposed TMI IOEP the SM position is to be replaced by the ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS).

The ISS will be at TMI-1 ISFSI on a continuous, 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day basis, and will be the senior management position during off-hours. This position is responsible for monitoring ISFSI conditions and managing the activities at the TMI-1 ISFSI. This position assumes overall command and control of the response as the ED and is responsible for monitoring conditions and approving all onsite activities. The IOEP identifies non-delegable responsibilities, along with other designated tasks. Exelon considers this an administrative change which will not impact the timing or performance of existing emergency response duties.

4.3 Emergency Response Organization Revision The PDEP provides for two (2) ERO augmented positions: 1) Technical Coordinator and 2)

Radiation Protection Coordinator. The proposed IOEP replaces these positions with a Resource Manager and an individual trained in radiological monitoring and assessment.

A Resource Manager is provided to assist in assessing the event and obtaining needed resources. The Resource Manager is required to be in contact with the ED within two (2) hours of the classification of an Unusual Event or an Alert. The Resource Manager augments the ED by assisting in assessing the emergency condition and coordinating the required resources, including serving as the public information interface. Services provided to the ED by the Resource Manager can be provided remotely and do not necessitate an onsite response by the Resource Manager. By responding remotely, the actual response time is decreased with no negative impact to services and functional responsibilities provided by the Resource Manager.

The Resource Manager's functional responsibilities could be performed in a timely manner either by reporting to the site or performing the function remotely in the specified timeframe.

In addition, TMI proposes that, for a classified event involving radiological consequences, a minimum of one person trained in radiological monitoring and assessment will report to the ISFSI within four hours of the emergency declaration.

The proposed IOEP also provides that additional personnel resources may be directed to report to TMI to provide additional support as needed to assess radiological conditions, support maintenance and repair activities, develop and implement corrective action plans, and assist

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 8 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes with recovery actions. The augmentation personnel are available from TMI-1 staff, Exelon, and from various contractors.

5.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

5.1 Radiological Consequences of Design Basis Events Three Mile Island Nuclear Station is located in an area of low population density about 12 miles southeast of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The area is in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, about 2.5 miles from the southern tip of Dauphin County, where the county is coterminous with York and Lancaster Counties. The TMI site is part of an 814-acre tract consisting of Three Mile Island and several adjacent islands, which were purchased by a predecessor. The island, which is situated about 900 feet from the east bank and approximately one mile from the west bank of the Susquehanna River, is elongated parallel to the flow of the river with its longest axis oriented approximately due north and south. The north and south ends of the island have access bridges, which connect the island to State Highway Route 441. The north access bridge is used daily. Route 441 is a two-lane highway, which runs parallel to TMI on the east bank of the Susquehanna River and is more than 2,000 feet from the TMI reactors at the closest point. The exclusion area for TMI is a 2,000-foot radius, and for the purposes of Emergency Planning, the exclusion area and the site boundary are considered the same.

Chapter 6 of the TMI-1 Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) describes the Abnormal Operational Transients and Design Basis Accident (DBA) scenarios applicable to TMI-1.

However, after permanent cessation of power operations and transfer of all irradiated fuel from the SFP to dry storage within the ISFSI, the remaining accident scenarios postulated in the DSAR are no longer possible. The ISFSI is a passive storage system that does not rely on electric power for heat transfer. After removal of the irradiated fuel from the SFP, there are no credible fuel related accidents for which actions of a Certified Fuel Handler (CFH), SM, or Non-Certified Operator (NCO) are required to prevent occurrence or to mitigate the consequences.

There is no credible accident resulting in radioactive releases requiring offsite protective measures.

The robust design and construction of the spent fuel storage system selected for use at the ISFSI prevents the release of radioactivity in the event of an off-normal or accident event as described in the ISFSI NAC Storage System FSAR. Leakage of fission products from a canister confinement boundary breach is not considered to be a credible event, given the high integrity nature of the canisters design and the additional protection afforded by the storage casks.

The TMI-1 PSDAR (Reference 8.3) identified that TMI-1 will decommission using a SAFSTOR method in which most plant fluid systems are drained and the plant is left in a stable condition until final decontamination and dismantlement activities begin. The PSDAR provided that TMI-1 expects to have all irradiated fuel transferred to the ISFSI by the end of 2022.

After all the irradiated fuel has been removed from the SFPs, the estimated radiological inventory (non-fuel) that remains at the TMI-1 reactor facility is primarily attributable to activated reactor components and structural materials.

TMI-2 has a possession only license and is currently maintained in accordance with the NRC approved SAFSTOR condition (method in which a nuclear facility is placed and maintained in a condition that allows it to be safely stored and subsequently decontaminated) known as Post-

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 9 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Defueling Monitored Storage (PDMS). All fuel assemblies have been removed from the TMl-2 reactor and SFP.

There are no credible accident scenarios that can mobilize a significant portion of this inventory for release. As a result, the potential accidents that could occur during decommissioning the reactor facility have negligible offsite and onsite radiological consequences.

With all irradiated fuel in dry storage within the ISFSI, the radiological status of the facility required for implementing this proposed IOEP is summarized as follows:

The remaining radiological source term at TMI will not create an unplanned/

unanticipated increase in radiation or in liquid or airborne radioactivity levels outside of the site boundary that would result in doses to the public above EPA PAG limits at the site boundary.

Source term accumulation from activities during decontamination and dismantlement of radioactive SSCs are administratively controlled at a level that would preclude declaring an Unusual Event.

Necessary radiological support personnel will be administratively required to be onsite during active decontamination and dismantlement of radioactive SSCs.

The IOEP and certain ICs and EALs do not apply to decontamination and dismantlement of radioactive SSCs; since administrative controls to limit possible effluent releases will be established.

NUREG-0586, "Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities," (Reference 8.16) supports this conclusion in the following statement:

The staff has reviewed activities associated with decommissioning and determined that many decommissioning activities not involving spent fuel that are likely to result in radiological accidents are similar to activities conducted during the period of reactor operations. The radiological releases from potential accidents associated with these activities may be detectible. However, work procedures are designed to minimize the likelihood of an accident and the consequences of an accident, should one occur, and procedures will remain in place to protect health and safety while the possibility of significant radiological accident exists.

NUREG-0586 also makes the following supportive statement:

The staff has considered available information, including comments received on the draft of Supplement 1 of NUREG-0586, concerning the potential impacts of non-spent fuel related radiological accidents resulting from decommissioning. This information indicates, that with the mitigation procedures in place, the impacts of radiological accidents are neither detectible nor destabilizing. Therefore, the staff makes the generic conclusion that impacts of non-spent fuel related radiological accidents are SMALL. The staff has considered mitigation and concludes that no additional measures are likely to be sufficiently beneficial to be warranted.

Accordingly, administrative controls that are designed to minimize the likelihood and consequence of an off-normal or accident event would be implemented when decontamination or dismantling activities of radioactive SSCs are being performed. Implementation of the IOEP would involve TMI establishing administrative controls for radiological source term accumulation limits and methods to control the accidental dispersal of the radiological source.

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 10 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Examples of radiological source term accumulation limits are based on:

Radioactive materials collected on filter media and resins (dose rate limit)

Contaminated materials collected in shipping containers (dose rate limit)

Surface or fixed contamination on work areas that may create airborne radioactive material (activity limits)

Radioactive liquid storage tank (activity concentration limits)

An example of a method to control accidental dispersal of the radiological source term is limitation on dispersal mechanisms that may cause a fire (e.g., limits on combustible material loading, use of fire watch to preclude fire, etc.) or placement of a berm around a radioactive liquid storage tank. If the dispersal control fails, the limits on source term would preclude exceeding the site boundary source term limit.

As discussed in the previously granted exemption from various emergency planning requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E (Reference 8.1), an analysis of the potential radiological impact of a design basis accident at TMI in a permanently defueled condition indicates that any releases beyond the site boundary are below EPA PAG exposure levels, as detailed in Reference 8.10. The basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect for the proposed emergency plan changes.

5.2 Radiological Consequences of Postulated Events Although the limited scope of design basis accidents that remain applicable to the TMI facility justifies a reduction in the necessary scope of emergency response capabilities, TMI also assessed beyond design basis events using past industry precedence, including information contained in Appendix I, Radiological Accidents, of NUREG-0586 (Reference 8.16).

5.2.1 TMI-1 Under the previous facility condition of fuel stored within the SFPs, the most severe postulated beyond design basis event involved a highly unlikely sequence of events that causes heatup of the irradiated fuel, postulated to occur without any heat transfer, such that the zircaloy fuel cladding reaches ignition temperature (adiabatic heat up). The resultant zircaloy fire could lead to the release of large quantities of fission products to the atmosphere. However, after removal of the irradiated fuel from the SFPs, the configuration of the irradiated fuel stored in dry storage precludes the possibility of such a scenario.

With this previously limiting beyond design basis scenario no longer possible, TMI assessed the following beyond design basis events associated with performance of decommissioning activities with all irradiated fuel stored in the TMI-1 ISFSI. A summary of the assessments is provided below.

1. Cask Events (Fuel Related Accident)

TMI-1 is the holder of a general license for the storage of irradiated fuel in an ISFSI at power sites in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 72.210 and 10 CFR 72.212. The generally licensed ISFSI at TMI-1 is used for interim onsite dry storage of spent nuclear fuel assemblies in the NAC International (NAC) MAGNASTOR Cask System (NAC Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1031, Amendment 9) (Reference8.17).

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 11 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes As documented in the MAGNASTOR FSAR (Reference 8.18), the system will withstand all of the evaluated normal conditions and off-normal and postulated accident events without release of radioactive material or excessive radiation exposure to workers or the general public. There are no evaluated normal conditions, or off-normal or accident events that result in damage to the canister producing a breach in the confinement boundary. Analysis of the off-normal and accident events, including drop events, demonstrate that MAGNASTOR is in compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 72.24 and 10 CFR 72.122 for off-normal and accident events. The MAGNASTOR design ensures subcriticality under normal conditions, and off-normal and accident events. The canister is designed to withstand normal conditions, or off-normal or accident events, including a 24-inch end drop in the concrete cask and a tip-over of the concrete cask, without precluding the subsequent removal of the fuel.

The analyses demonstrate that MAGNASTOR meets the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 72 and the guidance of NUREG-1536,"Standard Review Plan for Dry Cask Storage Systems" in excess of regulatory requirements (Reference 8.19). Therefore, no radiological release would be expected to occur in excess of regulatory requirements.

2. Radioactive Material Handling Accident (Non-Fuel Related Event)

The limiting non-fuel related event involves the release of radioactive material from a concentrated source, such as filters, resins, and shipping containers (as discussed in NUREG-0586, Appendix 1) (Reference 8.16).

For a permanently defueled plant with no fuel in the pools, it is very unlikely that the initiating conditions for Unusual Event or Alert would occur given the programmatic controls (radiation protection, fire protection, safety, chemical control, etc.) which will continue until license termination. Additionally, limits will be placed on the amount of dispersible radioactive material stored in any one location during decontamination and dismantlement so that it is not reasonably possible to exceed two (2) times the ODCM limit in the event of a radioactive release. By limiting the potential release of radioactive materials to not exceed two (2) time the ODCM limit it can be concluded that the radiological release thresholds given in PD-1 in NEI 99-01 (Reference 8.2) for an Unusual Event (two (2) time the ODCM limit) or an Alert (10 mrem TEDE) will not occur.

After all irradiated fuel has been moved to the ISFSI, there will be no concentrated source of radioactive material available to be released to the environment in an amount that could exceed two (2) times the ODCM limit at the site boundary. Attachment 5 provides the calculation to support that any fire or release involving radiological materials currently stored on site will not produce a radiation dose exceeding 2 times ODCM limits.

The areas considered in the calculation, where potential fires could occur that would result in a release of radioactivity, are those areas listed as containing radioactive materials in the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHAR) and used in decommissioning. They are:

  • Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Buildings
  • Chemical Cleaning Building
  • Hittman Solidification Building
  • Reactor Building
  • Interim Solid Waste Staging Facility (ISWSF/Carport) (Calc Attachment 2)

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 12 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes

  • Original Once Through Steam Generator (OTSG) Storage Facility For liquid releases, the TMI-1 DSAR states that there are no credible accidents that could exceed 10 CFR 20 limits. Also, Attachment 5 addresses a liquid release resulting from a breach in the spent fuel pool.

During decontamination and dismantlement activities, administrative controls will be applied to limit the total amount of activity that could accumulate in a concentrated source such that a release to the environment would not exceed two (2) time the ODCM limit.

It is expected that representative material samples will be taken and analyzed prior to actual decontamination/dismantlement work. Using the methodology consistent with this calculation, container/filter maximum radioactivity limits will be derived.

The results of the above assessment indicate that the projected radiological doses at the controlled area boundary are less than the EPA PAGs.

5.2.2 TMl-2 The bounding event for TMl-2 is a fire in the Reactor Building (RB) with the RB Purge System in operation. Per the TMl-2 Fire Protection Program Evaluation Report (Reference 8.20) the dose at the exclusion area boundary is 13.5 mrem expressed as a bone dose. Due to the isotopic mix (e.g., negligible amounts of iodine) and the nature of potential releases (i.e., particulate matter),

a more restrictive basis (i.e., the critical organ) for comparison was selected for reporting dose for TMl-2 fires.

This is also less than the EPA PAGs and the accepted 10% EPA PAG for declaration of Site Area Emergency per NEI 99-01, Rev.6 (Reference 8.2).

5.2.3 Summary In summary, there continues to be a low likelihood of any postulated event resulting in radiological releases requiring offsite protective measures, and there is no credible radioactive material event (non-fuel related) resulting in radiological releases requiring declaration of an emergency.

5.3 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan (IOEP)

The TMI IOEP is provided in Attachment 2 to this submittal for NRC review and approval. This proposed emergency plan is associated with EALs for events related to the ISFSI. The IOEP addresses the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR 50.47, Emergency Plans (as exempted), 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities (as exempted), and 10 CFR 72.32, Emergency Plan, and is consistent with the applicable guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 (Reference 8.21).

The IOEP describes the stations plan for responding to emergencies while all irradiated fuel is in dry storage within an ISFSI. Currently, irradiated fuel is stored only in the SFPs. After all irradiated fuel at TMI-1 is in dry storage within the ISFSI, the number and severity of potential radiological accidents is significantly less than when fuel was stored in the SFPs.

The TMI IOEP conservatively provides that the emergency planning zone for the ISFSI is the area within the site boundary. At TMI, the site boundary completely encompasses the controlled area. The controlled area, as defined in 10 CFR 72.3, Definitions, means the area immediately

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 13 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes surrounding an ISFSI for which Exelon exercises authority over its use and within which ISFSI operations are performed.

The controlled area is established to limit dose to the public during normal operations and design basis accidents in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 72.104, Criteria for radioactive materials in effluents and direct radiation from an ISFSI or MRS, and 10 CFR 72.106, Controlled area of an ISFSI or MRS. Exelon's analysis of the radiological impact of potential accidents at the ISFSI conclude that any releases beyond the ISFSI controlled area are expected to be less than the EPA PAGs. The controlled area is completely enclosed within the site boundary. Thus, any radiological releases beyond the site boundary will also be less than the EPA PAGs.

Based on the reduced number and consequences of potential radiological events at TMI with all TMI-1 irradiated fuel in dry storage within the ISFSI, there will continue to be no need for offsite emergency response plans for the protection of the public beyond the site boundary.

Additionally, the scope of the onsite emergency preparedness organization and corresponding requirements in the emergency plan may be reduced without an undue risk to the public health and safety.

The analysis of the potential radiological impact of an accident in a condition with all irradiated fuel stored in the ISFSI indicates that any releases beyond the site boundary are below the EPA PAG exposure levels as detailed in Reference 8.10. Exposure levels, which warrant pre-planned response measures, are limited to onsite areas. For this reason, radiological emergency planning is focused onsite.

5.4 ISFSI Only Emergency Action Levels provides the site-specific EAL technical bases document, which contains the proposed TMI ISFSI-Only Emergency Action Level (IOEAL) scheme for NRC review and approval. The current TMI EAL Scheme was approved by the NRC on December 2, 2020 (Reference 8.8). The new ISFSI EAL scheme is to be implemented by the TMI IOEP (provided in Attachment 2).

Deletions from the currently approved EAL scheme are listed in Section 4.1, Elimination of Spent Fuel Pool Initiating Conditions and EALs, Table 4-1, Emergency Plan Initiating Conditions Being Deleted, above. provides a comparison of the proposed EALs to NEI 99-01 (Reference 8.2).

5.4.1 Related Documents Supporting evaluations/calculations for establishing appropriate radioactive material administrative control limits are provided in Attachment 5 to this submittal.

5.4.2 Operating Modes and Applicability The proposed EALs are only applicable after the final spent nuclear fuel assembly has been transferred out of the SFPs and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI.

5.4.3 State and Local Government Review of Proposed Changes In support of this license amendment discussions have been held with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. On January 21, 2021, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Radiation Protection (PA-BRP) and the Pennsylvania

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 14 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) received the draft proposed changes of the TMI ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and EAL scheme. Attachment 6 contains acknowledgement from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania indicating that they have no comments or concerns at this time regarding the proposed TMI ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and EALs.

Following NRC approval and prior to implementation, Exelon will provide an overview of the new classification scheme to State and local emergency management officials in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.B.1.

6.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

The proposed emergency plan does not meet all standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E. However, TMI previously received exemptions from portions of 10 CFR 50.47(b), 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2), and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV, (Reference 8.1). The basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect for the emergency plan changes requested in this document. Considering the previously approved exemptions, the emergency plan, as revised, will continue to meet the remaining applicable requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E and the remaining applicable planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).

6.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit, Exelon requests NRC approval of a reduction in effectiveness of the site Emergency Plan as a result of changes to the emergency plan and the removal of several EALs, to be implemented after all irradiated fuel has been removed from the SFP and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI. The proposed IOEP and ISFSI Only EAL Technical Bases Document are commensurate with the reduction in radiological source term at TMI. The PSDAR documents the time period that TMI-1 expects to have all irradiated fuel transferred to the ISFSI.

To comport to the reduced scope of potential radiological accidents with all TMI-1 irradiate fuel in dry cask storage within the TMI-1 ISFSI, Exelon proposes a new emergency plan and corresponding EAL scheme.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92, Exelon has reviewed the proposed changes and concludes that the changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration because the proposed changes satisfy the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92(c). These criteria require that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The proposed changes would revise the TMI emergency plan and EAL scheme commensurate with the hazards associated with a permanently shut down and defueled facility that has transferred all irradiated fuel from the SFP to dry cask storage within the ISFSI.

The discussion below addresses each of these criteria and demonstrates that the proposed amendment does not constitute a significant hazard.

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 15 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes The proposed changes to the site emergency plan (SEP) and EAL scheme do not impact the function of plant structures, systems, or components (SSCs). The proposed changes do not affect accident initiators or precursors, nor does it alter design assumptions. The proposed changes do not prevent the ability of the on-shift staff and emergency response organization (ERO) to perform their intended functions to mitigate the consequences of any accident or event that will be credible in the permanently defueled condition.

Because TMI-1 has permanently ceased power operations, the generation of fission products has ceased, and the remaining source term continues to decay. This continues to significantly reduce the consequences of previously evaluated postulated accidents.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed amendment constitutes a revision of the emergency planning function commensurate with the ongoing and anticipated reduction in radiological source term at TMI-1.

The proposed amendment does not involve a physical alteration of the plant. No new or different types of equipment will be installed and there are no physical modifications to existing equipment as a result of the proposed amendment. Similarly, the proposed amendment would not physically change any SSC involved in the mitigation of any postulated accidents. Thus, no new initiators or precursors of a new or different kind of accident are created. Furthermore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new failure mode associated with any equipment or personnel failures. The credible events for the ISFSI remain unchanged.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed changes are associated with the SEP and EAL scheme and do not impact operation of the plant or its response to transients or accidents. The change does not affect the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not involve a change in the method of plant operation, and no accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes.

Safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by the proposed changes. The IFSFI Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) will continue to provide the necessary response staff with the appropriate guidance to protect the health and safety of the public.

The proposed amendment does not involve a change in the plants design, configuration, or operation. The proposed amendment does not affect either the way in which the plant SSCs perform their safety function or their design margins. Because there is no change to the physical design of the plant, there is no change to these margins.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 16 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Based on the above, Exelon concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.

6.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria Exelon intends to meet the applicable emergency regulatory requirements as discussed below with the previously granted exemptions (Reference 8.1). The basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect. The exemptions are reflected by "strikeout" text in the discussion below.

10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency plans," sets forth emergency plan requirements for nuclear power plant facilities. The regulations in 10 CFR 50.47(a)(1)(i) state, in part:

" no initial operating license for a nuclear power reactor will be issued unless a finding is made by the NRC that there is reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency."

10 CFR 50.47(b) establishes the standards that the onsite and offsite emergency response plans must meet for NRC staff to make a positive finding that there is reasonable assurance that the licensee can and will take adequate protective measures in the event of a radiological emergency.

Planning Standard (1) of Section 50.47(b) states, in part:

[E]ach principal response organization has staff to respond and to augment its initial response on a continuous basis.

Planning Standard (2) of Section 50.47(b) states, in part:

On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timely augmentation of response capabilities is available Planning Standard (4) of section 10 CFR 50.47(b) (with exemption) requires that a licensee's emergency response plan contain the following:

"A standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which include facility system and effluent parameters, is in use by the nuclear facility licensee, and State and local response plans call for reliance on information provided by facility licensees for determinations of minimum initial offsite response measures."

Planning Standard (8) of Section 50.47(b) states, in part:

Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response are provided and maintained.

10 CFR 50.54(q)(4) specifies the process for revising emergency plans where the changes reduce the effectiveness of the plan. This regulation states the following:

"The changes to a licensee's emergency plan that reduce the effectiveness of the plan as defined in paragraph (q)(1)(iv) of this section may not be implemented without prior approval by the NRC. A licensee desiring to make such a change after February 21, 2012 shall submit an application for an amendment to its

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 17 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes license. In addition to the filing requirements of §§ 50.90 and 50.91, the request must include all emergency plan pages affected by that change and must be accompanied by a forwarding letter identifying the change, the reason for the change, and the basis for concluding that the licensee's emergency plan, as revised, will continue to meet the requirements in appendix E to this part and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, the planning standards of § 50.47(b)."

Section IV.A of Appendix E, Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities, to 10 CFR Part 50, states, in part:

The organization for coping with radiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensees emergency organization Section IV.B.1 of Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," to 10 CFR Part 50, states, in part (with exemption):

"The means to be used for determining the magnitude of, and for continually assessing the impact of, the release of radioactive materials shall be described, including emergency action levels that are to be used as criteria for determining the need for notification and participation of local and State agencies, the Commission, and other Federal agencies, and the emergency action levels that are to be used for determining when and what type of protective measures should be considered within and outside the site boundary to protect health and safety. The emergency action levels shall be based on in-plant conditions and instrumentation in addition to onsite and offsite monitoring. By June 20, 2012, for nuclear power reactor licensees, these action levels must include hostile action that may adversely affect the nuclear power plant."

Section IV.B.2 of Appendix E states that:

"A licensee desiring to change its entire emergency action level scheme shall submit an application for an amendment to its license and receive NRC approval before implementing the change."

Section IV.C.1 of Appendix E requires (with exemption) each emergency plan to define the emergency classification levels that determine the extent of the participation of the emergency response organization. EALs are used by plant personnel in determining the appropriate emergency classification level to declare. This section states, in part:

"Emergency action levels (based not only on onsite and offsite radiation monitoring information but also on readings from a number of sensors that indicate a potential emergency, such as the pressure in containment and the response of the Emergency Core Cooling System) for notification of offsite agencies shall be described. The existence, but not the details, of a message authentication scheme shall be noted for such agencies. The emergency classes defined shall include: (1) Notification of unusual events, [and] (2) alert, (3) site area emergency, and (4) general emergency."

Section IV.E of Appendix E states, in part:

Adequate provisions shall be made and described for emergency facilities and equipment. As identified in 10 CFR 72.13, Applicability, the applicable

License Amendment Request Attachment 1 ISFSI Only Emergency Plan and Emergency Action Levels Page 18 of 21 Evaluation of Proposed Changes emergency plan requirements for an ISFSI associated with a general license are specified in 10 CFR 72.32(c) and (d).

The proposed IO-EAL scheme format is based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6 (Reference 8.2), as appropriate after the transfer of the irradiated fuel from the SFP to the ISFSI. NRC endorsed NEI 99-01, Revision 6, by letter dated March 28, 2013 (Reference 8.22). The proposed revisions constitute a change in the emergency planning function commensurate with the ongoing and anticipated reduction in radiological source term at TMI-1.

The proposed amendment is being submitted to the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90 for the purpose of revising the TMI SEP to establish an emergency plan appropriate for a permanently defueled facility with irradiated fuel in dry cask storage within the ISFSI and a commensurate EAL scheme, predicated on approval of the exemptions granted in Reference 8.1. Additionally, the proposed changes are considered a change to the EAL scheme development methodology.

Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.B.2, a revision to an entire EAL scheme must be approved by the NRC before implementation.

6.3 Precedent Similar changes to emergency plans and associated EAL schemes approved by the NRC for plants that have transitioned to ISFSI-only status include: (1) Fort Calhoun Station on January 10, 2020 (Reference 8.23); (2) Vermont Yankee Station on March 30, 2018 (Reference 8.24);

(3) San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station on November 30, 2017 (Reference 8.25); and (4)

Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Station on March 22, 2017 (Reference 8.26).

6.4 Conclusion Based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

7.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

S This amendment request meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion from environmental review set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) as follows:

(i) The amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.

As described in Section 5.1 of this evaluation, the proposed changes involve no significant hazards consideration.

(ii) There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite.

The proposed changes do not involve any physical alterations to the plant configuration or any changes to the operation of the facility that could lead to a change in the type or amount of effluent release offsite.

(iii) There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation PART I

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) describes the plan for responding to emergencies that may arise at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMI) ISFSI. The Emergency Plan encompasses both Three Mile Island Unit 1 (TMI-1) and Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2).

This plan is applicable after the TMI-1 has placed all spent fuel previously maintained in the stations Spent Fuel Pool into dry cask storage on the TMI-1 ISFSI. In this condition, no reactor operations can take place and all irradiated fuel is removed from the Spent Fuel Pools (SFPs).

Exelon maintains the emergency planning responsibilities for TMI-2, which is owned by TMI-2 Solutions (subsidiary of EnergySolutions), through a service agreement.

This IOEP adequately addresses the risks associated with TMI's current conditions.

As provided in the ISFSI storage system Final Safety Analysis (FSAR), the analysis of the potential radiological impacts of postulated off-normal, natural phenomenon, and accident events in an ISFSI only condition indicates that any releases would result in a DOSE to the public below the radiation limits established in 10 CFR 72.106(b). Exposure levels, which warrant pre-planned response measures, are generally limited to the ISFSI pad and nearby vicinity, and for this reason; radiological emergency planning is focused on this area.

1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the IOEP is to assure an adequate level of preparedness to cope with a spectrum of emergencies that could be postulated to occur, including the means to minimize radiation exposure to facility personnel. This plan integrates the necessary elements to provide effective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of off-site organizations expected to respond to potential emergencies.

1.2 SCOPE The IOEP has been developed to respond to potential radiological emergencies at TMI. Because there are no postulated accidents that would result in DOSE consequences that are large enough to require OFFSITE emergency planning, the overall scope of this plan delineates the actions necessary to safeguard ONSITE personnel and minimize damage to property. If determined appropriate by government officials, PROTECTIVE ACTIONS may be implemented to protect the public using an all hazards approach to emergency planning.

The concepts presented in this plan address the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency Plans" and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities," as exempted. Exemptions to selected portions of 10 CFR 50.47(b), 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E were previously approved by the NRC on December 1, 2020 (ADAMS Accession Number:

ML20244A292 and ML20244A293). The plan is consistent with the remaining applicable TBD 20## 1 EP-TM-1002 (Revision 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Facilities" (NUREG-0654). Appendix 3 contains a cross-reference to the applicable guidance in NUREG-0654.

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation 2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 OVERVIEW OF ISFSI ONLY EMERGENCY PLAN (IOEP)

In the event of an emergency at TMI, actions are required to identify and assess the nature of the emergency and to bring it under control in a manner that protects the health and safety of the public and facility personnel.

This plan describes the organization and responsibilities for implementing emergency measures. It describes interfaces with Federal, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and local organizations that may be notified in the event of an emergency and may be requested to provide assistance.

Emergency services are provided by local public and private entities as provided in Part II, Section 1.

Law enforcement support services are provided by local, state, and federal law enforcement authorities, as appropriate. Ambulance service is provided by Londonderry Volunteer Fire Company.

Because there are no postulated accidents that would result in off-site DOSE consequences that are large enough to require off-site emergency planning, emergencies are divided into two CLASSIFICATIONS: 1) Notification of UNUSUAL EVENT (UNUSUAL EVENT) and 2) ALERT.

The CLASSIFICATION scheme, developed in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," Revision 6, November 2012 (NEI 99-01), has been discussed and agreed upon with responsible OFFSITE organizations and is compatible with their respective emergency plans. If determined appropriate by government officials, PROTECTIVE ACTIONS may be implemented to protect the public using the existing all hazards emergency planning (i.e., Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)).

Exelon is responsible for planning and implementing emergency measures associated with the TMI site. This plan is provided to meet this responsibility. To carry out specific emergency measures discussed in this plan, detailed EMERGENCY PLAN IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES (EPIP) are established and maintained. A list of EPIPs is included in Appendix B.

In addition to the description of activities and steps that can be implemented during a potential emergency, this Plan also provides a general description of the steps taken to recover from an emergency situation. It also describes the training, drills, EXERCISES, planning, and coordination appropriate to maintain an adequate level of emergency preparedness.

2.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION The TMI site is located in an area of low population density about 12 miles southeast of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The area is in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, about 2.5 miles from the southern tip of Dauphin County, where the county is coterminous with York and Lancaster Counties.

TMI-1 is owned by Exelon Generation. TMI-1 formerly consisted of a single unit Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) Company (Currently AREVA) pressurized water reactor (PWR). TMI-1 ceased power operations in September 2019 and certified that fuel had been permanently removed from TBD 20## 3 EP-TM-1002 (Revision 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation the reactor vessel. The 10 CFR Part 50 license for TMI-1 no longer authorize operation of the reactor, emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessel, as specified in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2). All spent fuel has been transferred to the TMI-1 ISFSI which is located to the south of the TMI-1 facility. The TMI-1 ISFSI is a robust and high integrity facility for the spent fuel storage system. The ISFSI is designed to prevent the release of radioactivity in the event of accidents, including environmental phenomena (e.g. earthquake).

TMI-2 is owned by TMI-2 Solutions. The TMI-2 reactor was damaged during an accident in 1979 and is currently defueled and the plant maintained in long-term monitored storage. Monitoring of this facility is performed by Exelon through a service agreement with TMI-2 Solutions.

The TMI site is part of an 814-acre tract consisting of TMI and several adjacent islands, which were purchased by a predecessor. The island, which is situated about 900 feet from the east bank and approximately one mile from the west bank of the Susquehanna River, is elongated parallel to the flow of the river with its longest axis oriented approximately due north and south. The north and south ends of the island have access bridges, which connect the island to State Highway Route 441. The north access bridge is used daily. Route 441 is a two-lane highway, which runs parallel to TMI on the east bank of the Susquehanna River and is more than 2,000 feet from the TMI reactors at the closest point. The EXCLUSION AREA for TMI is a 2,000-foot radius, and for the purposes of Emergency Planning, the EXCLUSION AREA and the site boundary are considered the same.

A Norfolk Southern one-track line runs adjacent and parallel to Route 441 on the east bank of the river. On the west bank of the river, there is a multi-track Norfolk Southern line at the river's edge about 1.25 miles west of the site and a black top, two lane road that runs parallel to it. There is a one-track railroad spur across the bridge on the north end of the island, which is used for site-related activities.

2.3

SUMMARY

OF EMERGENCY ACTIONS This Plan is activated by the ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS), who assumes the position of EMERGENCY DIRECTOR (ED) upon DECLARATION of an emergency based upon CLASSIFICATION of an event according to the EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL) criteria. The emergency measures described in the subsequent sections and implementing procedures are implemented in accordance with the CLASSIFICATION and nature of the emergency at the direction of the ED. Regulatory authorities and OFFSITE support organizations are notified in accordance with this Plan. The ED has authority and responsibility for control and mitigation of the emergency, including emergency response resources, coordination of radiological ASSESSMENT ACTIONS, recovery implementation, and coordination of emergency response activities. The following sections of this Plan describe the detailed plans and actions of the TMI EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION (ERO), including interfaces with OFFSITE support organizations.

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation PURPOSE This document provides the detailed set of EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS (EALs) applicable to the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMI) and the associated Technical Bases using the EAL development methodology found in NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," Revision 6 (NEI 99-01, Rev. 6). As a permanently defueled facility, TMI will use the Recognition Category "PD" (Permanently Defueled) to provide a site-specific emergency classification scheme including a set of Initiating Conditions (ICs) and EALs associated with the permanently defueled condition and a Recognition Category "E" IC/EAL for the INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI). Permanently defueled station ICs and EALs are addressed in Appendix C of NEI 99-01, Rev. 6. All recommendations for changes to this document or associated implementing procedures are reviewed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q).

This document should be used to facilitate review of the TMI EALs, provide historical documentation for future reference, and serve as a resource for training. Individuals responsible for the classification of events will refer to the ICs and EALs contained in the matrix of this document. They may use the information in the associated "Basis" and "Notes" sections as a reference in support of EAL interpretation. An EAL matrix may be provided as a user aid.

Emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification in accordance with the applicable EALs; but within 30 minutes in all cases after the availability of indications to operators that an EAL threshold has been reached. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the emergency classification.

DISCUSSION 2.1 Permanently Defueled Facility NEI 99-01, Appendix C, Rev. 6, provides guidance for an emergency classification scheme applicable to a permanently defueled facility. This is a facility that generated spent fuel under a 10 CFR Part 50 license, has permanently ceased operations, has removed all irradiated fuel from the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP), and will store the spent fuel onsite for an extended period of time in an ISFSI. The EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS applicable to permanently defueled facility are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, Rev. 1" (NUREG-0654).

In order to relax the emergency plan requirements applicable to an operating station, the owner of a permanently defueled station must demonstrate that no credible event can result in a significant radiological release beyond the site boundary. Exelon has confirmed that the source term and motive force available in the permanently defueled condition are insufficient to warrant classifications of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.

Therefore, the generic ICs and EALs applicable to a permanently defueled facility may only result in either a Notification of UNUSUAL EVENT (UNUSUAL EVENT) or ALERT classification.

TBD 20XX 1 EP-TM-1002 Addendum 1 (Rev. 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation 2.2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Selected guidance in NEI 99-01, Rev. 6, is applicable to licensees electing to use their 10 CFR Part 50 emergency plan to fulfill the requirements of 10 CFR 72.32 for a stand-alone INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI). The EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS applicable to an ISFSI are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50. The initiating conditions germane to a 10 CFR 72.32 emergency plan (as described in NUREG-1567, "Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities") are subsumed within the classification scheme for a 10 CFR 50.47 emergency plan.

The analysis of potential onsite and offsite consequences of accidental releases associated with the operation of an ISFSI is contained in NUREG-1140, "A Regulatory Analysis on Emergency Preparedness for Fuel Cycle and Other Radioactive Material Licensees" (NUREG-1140). NUREG-1140 concluded that the postulated worst-case accident involving an ISFSI has insignificant consequences to public health and safety.

This evaluation shows that the maximum offsite dose to a member of the public due to an accidental release of radioactive materials would not exceed 1 Rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE).

Regarding the above information, the expectations for an offsite response to an ALERT classified under a 10 CFR 72.32 emergency plan are generally consistent with those for an UNUSUAL EVENT in a 10 CFR 50.47 emergency plan (e.g., to provide assistance if requested). Also, the licensee's Emergency Response Organization (ERO) required for 10 CFR 72.32 emergency plan is different from that prescribed for a 10 CFR 50.47 emergency plan (e.g., there is no emergency technical support function required).

KEY TERMINOLOGY USED There are several key terms that appear throughout the NEI 99-01, Rev. 6, methodology.

These terms are introduced in this section to support understanding of subsequent material.

3.1 Emergency Classification Levels (ECLs)

One of a set of names or titles established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The ECLs that remain applicable to TMI, in ascending order of severity, are:

3.1.1 UNUSUAL EVENT (UE)

EVENTS ARE IN PROGRESS OR HAVE OCCURRED WHICH INDICATE A POTENTIAL DEGRADATION OF THE LEVEL OF SAFETY OF THE FACILITY OR INDICATE A SECURITY THREAT TO FACILITY PROTECTION HAS BEEN INITIATED. NO RELEASES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRING OFFSITE RESPONSE OR MONITORING ARE EXPECTED UNLESS FURTHER DEGRADATION OF SAFETY SYSTEMS OCCURS.

Purpose:

The purpose of this classification is to assure that the first step in future response has been carried out, to bring the operations staff to a state of readiness, and to provide systematic handling of UNUSUAL EVENT information and decision-making.

TBD 20XX 2 EP-TM-1002 Addendum 1 (Rev. 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation 3.1.2 ALERT EVENTS ARE IN PROGRESS OR HAVE OCCURRED WHICH INVOLVE AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SUBSTANTIAL DEGRADATION OF THE LEVEL OF SAFETY OF THE FACILITY OR A SECURITY EVENT THAT INVOLVES PROBABLE LIFE-THREATENING RISK TO SITE PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE TO SITE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE OF A HOSTILE ACTION. ANY RELEASES ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED TO SMALL FRACTIONS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDES (PAG) EXPOSURE LEVELS.

Purpose:

The purpose of this classification is to assure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring, if deemed necessary, and provide offsite authorities current information on facility status and parameters.

3.2 Initiating Condition (IC)

An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the two ECLs by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences.

Discussion: An IC describes an event or condition, the severity or consequences of which meets the definition of an ECL. An IC can be expressed as a continuous, measurable parameter (e.g., radiation monitor readings) or an event (e.g., a SECURITY CONDITION).

NUREG-0654 states that the ICs form the basis for establishment by a licensee of the specific facility instrumentation readings (as applicable) which, if exceeded, would initiate the emergency classification. Thus, it is the specific instrument readings that would be the EALs.

3.3 Emergency Action Level (EAL)

A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an IC that, when met or exceeded, places the facility in a given ECL.

Discussion: EAL statements may utilize a variety of criteria including instrument readings and status indications, observable events, results of calculations and analyses, entry into particular procedures, and the occurrence of natural phenomena.

GUIDANCE ON MAKING EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS 4.1 General Considerations When making an emergency classification, the Emergency Director (ED) must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an IC. This includes the EAL, plus Notes, and the informing Basis information.

All emergency classification assessments should be based upon valid indications, reports, or conditions. A valid indication, report, or condition is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there is no doubt regarding the indicator's TBD 20XX 3 EP-TM-1002 Addendum 1 (Rev. 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy. For example, validation could be accomplished through a response on related or redundant indicators or direct observation by personnel. The validation of indications should be completed in a manner that supports timely emergency declaration.

A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that 1) the activity proceeds as planned and 2) the conditions remains within the limits imposed by the license. Such activities include planned work to test, manipulate, repair, maintain, or modify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning, preparation, and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected.

Events or conditions of this type may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72.

While the EALs have been developed to address possible or anticipated events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on the EDs experience and judgment is still necessary. The NEI 99-01, Rev. 6, scheme provides the Emergency Director with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment using EALs that are consistent with the ECL definitions (refer to PD-HU3 and PD-HA3). The Emergency Director will need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular ECL definition.

4.2 Classification Methodology To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e.,

the relevant facility indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evaluation of an EAL(s) must be consistent with the related Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, then the IC is considered met and the associated ECL is declared in accordance with facility procedures.

4.3 Classification of Multiple Events and Conditions When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the user will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable ECL identified during this review is declared.

For example:

If an UNUSUAL EVENT EAL and an ALERT EAL are met, an ALERT should be declared.

There is no "additive" effect from multiple EALs meeting the same ECL. For example:

  • If two UNUSUAL EVENT EALs are met, an UNUSUAL EVENT should be declared.

Related guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-02, "Clarification of NRC Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events."

4.4 Classification of Imminent Conditions Although EALs provide specific thresholds, the Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding an EAL within a relatively TBD 20XX 4 EP-TM-1002 Addendum 1 (Rev. 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT). If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should be made as if the EAL has been met.

4.5 Emergency Classification Level Upgrading and Termination An ECL may be terminated when the event or condition that meets the IC and EAL no longer exists. Events will not be downgraded.

As noted above, guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in RIS 2007-02.

4.6 Classification of Short-Lived Events Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and, thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL, the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its continued presence at the time of declaration. Example of such events would be a SECURITY CONDITION.

4.7 Classification of Transient Conditions It is important to stress that the emergency classification assessment period is not a "grace period" during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event; emergency classification assessments must be deliberate and timely, with no undue delays.

4.8 After-the-Fact Discovery of an Emergency Event or Condition In some cases, an EAL may be met but the emergency classification was not made at the time of the event or condition. This situation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL, but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no longer exists at the time of discovery. This may be due to the event or condition not being recognized at the time or an error that was made in the emergency classification process.

In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted; however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022, "Event Report Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73," is applicable.

Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies in accordance with the agreed upon arrangements.

4.9 Retraction of an Emergency Declaration Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022.

4.10 Response to a TMI-2 Emergency TMI-2 alarms will be monitored on a 24-hour a day basis remotely from Emergency Response Facility (ERF) or by another appropriate location in the event of a failure of the TBD 20XX 5 EP-TM-1002 Addendum 1 (Rev. 0)

Three Mile Island IOEP Exelon Generation remote monitoring system. For failures of specific local alarm capabilities, local conditions will be monitored in accordance with the applicable procedures.

A TMI-2 related emergency will be reported to the ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS). The ISS will assess and evaluate the situation; classify the event as required based on impact to the site per the EALs; and provide the appropriate response.

TBD 20XX 12 EP-TM-1001 Addendum 1 (Revision 0)

Three Mile Island PDEP Exelon Generation Attachment 2 - EAL Bases Recognition Category PD EAL Basis Recognition Category PD provides a stand-alone set of ICs/EALs for a Permanently Defueled nuclear facility to consider for use in developing a site-specific emergency classification scheme. For development, it was assumed that the plant had operated under a 10 CFR Part 50 license and that the operating company has permanently ceased plant operations. Further, the company intends to store the spent fuel on the ISFSI pad until the Department of Energy takes possession of the spent fuel.

When in a permanently defueled condition, the plant licensee typically receives approval from the NRC for exemption from specific emergency planning requirements. These exemptions reflect the lowered radiological source term and risks associated with spent fuel pool storage relative to reactor at-power operation. Source terms and accident analyses associated with plausible accidents are documented in the station's Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR), as updated. As a result, each licensee will need to develop a site-specific emergency classification scheme using the NRC-approved exemptions, revised source terms, and revised accident analyses as documented in the station's DSAR.

The Permanently Defueled (PD) Recognition Category uses the same ECLs as operating reactors; however, the source term and accident analyses limit the ECLs to an UNUSUAL EVENT and ALERT. The UNUSUAL EVENT ICs provide for an increased awareness of abnormal conditions while the ALERT ICs are specific to actual or potential impacts to spent fuel. The source terms and release motive forces associated with a permanently defueled facility would not be sufficient to require declaration of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.

In NEI 99-01, Rev. 6, appropriate ICs and EALs from Recognition Categories A [R], C, F, H, and S [M] were modified and included in Recognition Category PD to address a spectrum of the events that may affect a spent fuel pool. Once all of the irradiated fuel has been removed from the spent fuel pool the spectrum of potential emergency events that may occur are again greatly reduced. Based on industry precedence, some of Hazard Recognition Category (PD-H) ICs and EALs, as reflected in this document, are being maintained.

Table PD-1: Recognition Category "PD" Initiating Condition Matrix, provides a summary of initiating conditions associated with Recognition Category PD.

Recognition Category E EAL Basis Recognition Category E provides an IC/EAL for an ISFSI. A significant amount of the radioactive material contained within a cask must escape its packaging and enter the atmosphere for there to be a significant environmental effect resulting from an accident involving the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel. Formal offsite planning is not required because the postulated worst-case accident involving an ISFSI has insignificant consequences to the public health and safety.

HOSTILE ACTION within the TMI-1 ISFSI is occurring or has occurred.

Emergency Action Level (EAL):

Notification by the Security Force that a HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the TMI-1 ISFSI.

Basis:

This IC addresses an occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the TMI-1 ISFSI.

Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan [and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program].

As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the facility staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). The ALERT declaration will also heighten the awareness of Offsite Response Organizations (ORO), allowing them to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions.

This IC does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFR § 73.71 or 10 CFR § 50.72.

Emergency Action Level (EAL):

Damage to a loaded cask CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY as indicated by a radiation reading > 2 times the ISFSI Technical Specification allowable levels.

Basis:

This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage cask containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. The word cask, as used in this EAL, refers to the storage container in use at the site for dry storage of irradiated fuel. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of any fuel assemblies' due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the cask or fuel from storage.

The existence of "damage" is determined by radiological survey. The cask technical specification multiple of "2 times" is used here to distinguish between non-emergency and emergency conditions. The emphasis for this classification is the degradation in the level of safety of the spent fuel cask and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded cask, the fact that the on-contact dose rate limit is exceeded may be determined based on measurement of a dose rate at some distance from the cask.

Security-related events for ISFSIs are covered under ICs PD-HU1 and PD-HA1.

The proposed changes discussed herein to the Emergency Action Level (EAL) scheme support the operation of Three Mile Island, Unit 1, (TMI-1) Independent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and would be implemented after all irradiated fuel has been removed from the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) and placed in dry storage within the ISFSI. The EALs encompasses both TMI-1 and Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2). Exelon maintains the emergency planning responsibilities for TMI-2, which is owned by TMI-2 Solutions, through a service agreement.

By letter dated December 2, 2020 (Reference 1), the NRC issued the Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) and Permanently Defueled EAL (PD-EAL) scheme for TMI. In Exelon's licensing amendment request (LAR) for the PDEP and Permanently Defueled EAL scheme (Refence 2), Exelon provided a "Comparison Matrix for Permanently Defueled EALs Based on NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors," Revision 6" (NEI 99-

01) (Reference 2). The comparison matrix provided herein, provides a similar comparison of the EALs that are proposed for inclusion in the ISFSI Only EAL scheme, utilizing the comparison matrix provided in Attachment 4 of the PDEP and PD-EAL LAR (Reference 2) as the bases for the remaining EALs.

The following Table provides a comparison of the proposed EALs for inclusion in the ISFSI Only EAL scheme to NEI 99-01 and the currently approved PDEP EALs (Reference 1). The first column represents the NEI 99-01 Appendix C - Permanently Defueled Station ICs/EALs (Reference 2), the second column represents the EAL wording in the currently approved PD-EAL scheme (Reference

1) as marked up to reflect the proposed changes to the ISFSI Only EALs, and the third column presents the differences between the proposed EALs and NEI 99-01. In the second column, the wording from the current EALs (Reference 1) is provided with the proposed deletions indicated by italicized strikethrough and additions are indicated by bold italics. In the third column, comparison items that are indicated by "ISFSI Only Change" are those comparisons that have been added to address the proposed ISFSI Only EAL changes, the remaining comparisons are repeated from the PD-EAL submittal (Attachment 4, Reference 3).

ATTACHMENT 5 THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION TM-RP-20-04, REVISION 1, "TMI-1 EAL VERIFICATION CALCULATIONS"

TM-RP-20-04 Revision 1 Page 1 of 15 TMI-1 EAL Verification Calculations Prepared by: / Date Reviewed by: / Date Approved by: / Date Dennis Viola/R. D. Holmes Linda Parlatore 2/22/21 /s/ R. D. Holmes 2/23/21 2/18/21 1.0 Purpose This calculation is to ensure any fire or release involving radiological materials will not produce a radiation dose exceeding 2 times the TMI Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) limits, Reference 8.4.

2.0 Problem Statement Assess the offsite radiological consequences of severe hypothetical fire in radiological controlled areas as listed in the Permanently Defueled Fire Hazards Analysis Report (FHAR) Reference 8.1. Also assess the consequences associated with radioactive release to the environment. Compare the calculation results against the criteria that doses from such postulated release would not exceed two times the applicable ODCM limits.

3.0 Background Decommissioning processes at TMI-1 have changed component configurations and usage requirements, necessitating a revisit to historical dose calculation ensuring that any release to offsite areas is minimized.

The areas to be considered in this document are those areas listed as containing radioactive materials in the FHAR and used in decommissioning:

  • Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Buildings
  • Chemical Cleaning Building
  • Hittman Solidification Building
  • Reactor Building
  • Interim Solid Waste Staging Facility (ISWSF/Carport)

TM-RP-20-004 Revision 1 Page 2 of 15 3.1 Analysis of Area Contents:

- Auxiliary and Fuel Handling Buildings, Chemical Cleaning Building, Hittman Solidification Building and Reactor Building - Quantities of radioactive materials in these areas are enclosed in steel vessels. These vessels are separated from general areas by concrete enclosures with no significant amounts of combustible materials. This containment and segregation from combustible materials makes the probability of a significant release very unlikely. A generic radioactive materials fire area calculation of 1 Curie of material released indicates very low

(~1E-3 millirem per hour) dose for a one-hour exposure at site boundary.

- The Spent Primary Filter High Integrity Container was removed from the TMI-1 Auxiliary Building. This shielded container is designed to be transported for shipment when at capacity and is not a permanent plant component. It is currently in the Waste Module Structure awaiting shipment. A calculation for a postulated fire involving this component was performed using 1% of radioactive materials released in accordance with references 8.8 and 8.9. and is included here as a bounding calculation.

- The Interim solid Waste Storage Facility (ISWSF) Building is used for storage of low-level waste. All significant quantities of radioactive materials are stored in closed metal containers. Fire loading outside these containers is near zero.

Calculation is performed using 1% of radioactive materials released in accordance with references 8.8 and 8.9.

- Original OTSG Storage Facility has a fire loading of essentially zero as described in FHAR. The building contents include a significant amount of radioactive materials entirely contained and sealed within the heavy wall steel components which are in turn stored in a concrete building. Programmatic controls limit the fire loading and minimizes the likelihood of a fire and radioactive release. While a release of 1% of the radioactive materials within the metal components could exceed the ODCM limits, there is no mechanism for this release.

- The doses associated with Spent Fuel Pool water being released directly to the environment is essentially zero. The Radioactive components of the Fuel Pool water has total gamma activity of 4.26 E-4 uCi/ml and Tritium activity of 1.24E-1 uCi/ml.

SRRS 2B.134

TM-RP-20-004 Revision 1 Page 3 of 15 4.0 Assumptions 4.1 Inhalation pathway is used to calculate whole body and organ dose at Site Boundary.

4.2 Fire detection and suppression systems are not considered in these calculations.

4.3 The total time from fire initiation to extinguishment is 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, as per fire load classification of LOW in FHAR.

4.4 Radioactive materials contained in these buildings are wholly contained in metal packaging or system components and piping.

4.5 Areas containing surface contamination are of low activity levels and entirely contained in structures.

4.6 Controlled and monitored ventilation systems will remain operable in buildings until components are deenergized and abandoned. However, no installed process reduction such as filtration is considered in these calculations.

4.7 Building design will retain isolation features such as airlocks to prevent release.

4.8 A radioactive release of 1% of radioactive materials in metal containers involved in fire scenarios will be used in accordance with references 8.8 and 8.9.

4.9 An assumption of a breach of the fuel pool will allow most if not all of its contents to remain within the Fuel Handling Building structure. Calculation will assume 1%

release to the environment to be consistent with fire calculations.

5.0 Methodology Waste stream analysis results are input into a Dose-to-Curie process using RADMAN or MICROSHIELD software to determine available radionuclide inventory. The release fraction of this inventory is then utilized in a dose assessment process. Dose projection is performed for an airborne ground level release using dose factors for each radionuclide, inhalation pathway, and the most restrictive age group and organ factors.

The result of the calculation is the offsite dose per second, and the total dose for a 1-hour duration is then calculated for the result.

Liquid release component is calculated using OpenEMS spreadsheet for dose calculations. Appropriate target organ dose results will be calculated and evaluated.

Once all of the spent fuel has been moved from the spent fuel pools to dry storage the ODCM dose rate limit will not be a useful basis for the Unusual Event initiating condition, as there will be no source of noble gases remaining within the plant. Industry guidance (Ref. 8.13) does not explicitly address an emergency classification scheme for this plant condition, only the use of an Unusual Event and Alert for a permanently defueled plant with spent fuel in the pools.

SRRS 2B.134

TM-RP-20-004 Revision 1 Page 4 of 15 6.0 Conclusions None of the scenarios evaluated result in exceeding two times the applicable ODCM dose limits for a fire involving remaining radioactive materials or release of Spent Fuel Pool Inventory.

The largest amount of radioactive materials that have any potential to release during a fire event was the Spent Primary Filter High Integrity Container (Filter HIC). This container was removed from the Auxiliary Building and placed in the Waste Module Structure awaiting shipment. This container had the potential to exceed Site Boundary limits in case of fire, the threat was eliminated by removing it.

This Filter HIC calculation is bounding for all other radioactive material release calculations resulting from fire on the TMI-1 Site. Filter HIC is planned to remain in waste modules preventing any release of radioactive materials until shipped to the appropriate radioactive waste processing facility. While this hypothetical release does not exceed any 10CFR20 limits for offsite release, it is bounding for all other potential accidental releases to the environment, as listed in Attachments 1 through 5 in this document.

The current conditions and nuclide and curie content in the station will only decrease between now and license termination. The worst-case condition evaluated demonstrates that the resulting dose would be less than two times the applicable ODCM limits. In addition, the limit of 2 times the ODCM (Ref. 8.4) Specification, or 3000 mrem/y to any organ will not be reached.

The TMI ODCM liquid and particulate airborne release dose limits are as follows:

Release type Quarter Organ Quarter Whole Annual Organ Annual Whole dose limit Body dose limit dose limit Body dose limit (mrem) (mrem) (mrem) (mrem)

Liquid 5 1.5 10 3 Airborne 7.5 7.5 15 15 Particulate All of the doses from the postulated releases analyzed result in less than two times the TMI ODCM dose limits listed above.
