Chair - North Carolina Utilities Commission RA-21-0136 Additional Information on ERO Staff Removed from Duke Energy Site Emergency Plans RA-21-0136 Page 1 Duke Energy has performed a review of changes to ERO staffing made under 10 CFR 50.54(q) since the revisions of the site Emergency Plans provided in Reference 1. Table 1-1 shows positions that have been removed over this period:
Table 1-1 Position Title Location Affected Sites OAC Support TSC BNP, CNS, HNP, MNS, ONS, RNP Chemistry Supervisor OSC BNP, CNS, HNP, MNS, ONS, RNP Generation Supply Chain Liaison OSC BNP, CNS, HNP, MNS, ONS, RNP Administration Support NOTE JIC BNP, HNP, ONS, RNP Registration Liaison NOTE JIC BNP, HNP, ONS, RNP TSC: Technical Support Center OSC: Operations Support Center JIC: Joint Information Center OAC: Operator Aid Computer NOTE:
The JIC Administration Support and Registration Liaison positions are not described in the CNS and MNS Emergency Plans.
Removal of these positions from the current site Emergency Plans under 10 CFR 50.54(q) does not affect the justifications for ERO staffing changes made in Reference 1. The current site Emergency Plans identify all the Table 1-1 positions as non-minimum augmenting ERO positions, therefore they do not perform key functions that are required to effectively implement the Emergency Plan. Additionally, Reference 1 identifies Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE) 3 for removing all non-minimum augmenting ERO positions from the Emergency Plans based on NUREG-0654, Revision 2 (Reference 2) staffing. The ERO staff shown in Table 1-1 are included in RIE 3, and each is evaluated for removal from the applicable site Emergency Plans as part of the Non-Minimum Augmenting ERO Functional Analysis performed in Reference 1.
Each non-minimum augmenting ERO positions tasks are evaluated to ensure key functions are retained and performed by minimum augmenting ERO positions within the proposed Duke Energy Common Emergency Plan. The justification for removal of the positions in Table 1-1 is based on each positions tasks being categorized as either:
(1) performed by a proposed Duke Energy Common Emergency Plan minimum augmenting ERO position; (2) did not support a NUREG-0654, Revision 2, function; or (3) administrative in nature.
Additionally, no new tasks were assigned to minimum augmenting ERO positions as a result of the analysis of the Table 1-1 positions. Therefore, the justification in Reference 1 for removing the Table 1-1 positions remains valid as their assigned tasks do not support key functions required to effectively implement the proposed Duke Energy Common Emergency Plan, or are already performed by other positions.

H.1 A TSC is established, using current Federal guidance, from which NPP conditions are evaluated and mitigative actions are developed.
The TSC has the following characteristics/capabilities:
- 1. The TSC is located within the Protected Area at elevation 324'-0" in the Fuel Handling Building, Section "K," approximately 400 feet walking distance from the Main Control Room (MCR) (primary route).
- 2. The TSC provides at least 75 square feet per person for the required TSC augmenting responders plus five (5) NRC personnel.
- 3. Exterior walls, roof, and floor are built to Seismic Category I, tornado, wind, and missile safety-related criteria. The exceptions are several penetrations on the west exterior wall which are not constructed to Seismic Category I standards and various roof penetrations that are not tornado missile protected. The TSC penetrations on the west exterior wall comply with the minimum standards required of the NC Building Code and will therefore withstand the most adverse conditions reasonably expected during the design life of the plant. Equipment is non-safety related and nonredundant. The TSC was designed taking into account good human factors engineering principles.
- 4. Provided with radiation protection equivalent to Main Control Room habitability requirements such that the dose to an individual in the TSC for the duration of a design basis accident is less than 5 Rem TEDE. The Emergency Ventilation System includes HEPA and carbon filtration. The TSC is also environmentally controlled to provide room air temperature, humidity and cleanliness appropriate for personnel and equipment.
Decontamination and monitoring area is available.
- 5. Video System capable of displaying Emergency Response Facility Information System (ERFIS) information (such as, plant data, SPDS, and RMS).
- 6. Reliable power for habitability systems and battery pack emergency lighting are provided. Power to the TSC is supplied from 2 reliable and diverse offsite power sources available through an automatic transfer switch.
- 7. The TSC has access to drawings and other records, including general arrangement diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), electrical schematics and plant procedures.
In the event the TSC must be evacuated, the backup location is the 305 Shift Manager, Shift Technical Advisor, and the Auxiliary Operator office area.
Duke Energy HNP Emergency Plan Annex 12 Rev. 0 H.2 An OSC is established, using current Federal guidance, from which repair team activities are planned and teams are dispatched to implement actions.
The OSC located in the Waste Processing Building inside the Protected Area. The total area is approximately 1500 square feet in the Waste Processing Building HP Tech Work Area. This area includes a separate Command and Control area for coordinating and planning of OSC activities in addition to sufficient area for team members to standby for activities. Additional space in excess of 8500 square feet is available in adjacent offices and locker rooms to accommodate additional personnel as may be required.
In the event the OSC must be evacuated, a backup location has been established in the Fuel Handling Building, Section "K," near the TSC.
H.3.a For an EOF that is located more than 25 miles away from the NPP site, provisions are made for locating NRC and offsite responders closer to the NPP site.
The Duke Energy EOF is located greater than 25 miles from the site. The Harris Energy &
Environmental Center (HEEC) is used as a near site location for the NRC and other off-site agency staff.
This location will provide for conference areas with white boards, separate briefing/debriefing areas, telephones, ERO telephone contact lists, computers with internet access, necessary office supplies and photocopier access, and access to plant radiological information.
H.4 An alternative facility (or facilities) is established, using currently provided and/or endorsed guidance, which would be accessible even if the NPP site is under threat of or experiencing hostile action.
The Harris Energy & Environmental Center (HEEC) located on New Hill Holleman Road has been designated as the HNP Alternate Emergency Facility.
H.8 Provisions are made to acquire data from offsite monitoring and analysis equipment, including data on geophysical phenomena (e.g., meteorological, hydrologic, and seismic monitors) and radiological data (e.g., from FMTs, environmental dosimeters, and laboratory analyses).
- 1. Meteorological Monitoring HNP has a permanent meteorological monitoring station located within the exclusion area boundary for display and recording of wind speed, wind direction, and differential temperature for use in making off-site dose projections. Meteorological information is presented in the Main Control Room, the TSC, and the EOF by means of a communication interface. Additional information on the on-site meteorological monitoring system can be found in UFSAR Section 2.3.3.
- 2. Hydrologic Monitoring The design basis flood, probable maximum precipitation, and other improbable, conceivable extremes in hydrologic natural phenomena are well below any design limits for this site.
Refer to UFSAR Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3.
Duke Energy HNP Emergency Plan Annex 13 Rev. 0
- 3. Seismic Monitoring HNP has a seismic monitoring system, described in UFSAR Section 3.7.4 and procedure PLP-114, that is located inside safety-related structures and measures horizontal and vertical acceleration. A seismic event is digitally recorded, analyzed, and displayed by the seismic monitor computer in the Main Control Room. The digital record can also be sent off site for additional analysis.
- 4. Radiation Monitoring The Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) is a plant-wide radiation information gathering and control system encompassing the process and effluent monitors and the area and airborne monitors. Radiological monitors are provided for plant systems as described in UFSAR Sections 11.5 and 12.3.4.
