IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan PARTI
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is owned by Southern California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) and the cities of Anaheim and Riverside, California.
SCE is authorized to act as agent for the participants and has exclusive responsibility for the operation of the facility.
The SONGS INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI) Only Emergency Plan (IOEP) describes the plan for responding to emergencies that may arise at the station's ISFSI.
In this condition, no reactor operations can take place and all irradiated fuel is removed from the Spent Fuel Pools (SFPs). This IOEP addresses the risks associated with SONGS' ISFSI-Only conditions.
As provided in the ISFSI storage system Final Safety Analysis Reports (FSARs) and 10 CFR 72.212 evaluations, the analyses of the potential radiological impacts of postulated off-normal, natural phenomenon, and accident events in an ISFSI-Only condition indicates that any releases beyond the CONTROLLED AREA boundary would result in a DOSE to the public below the radiation limits established in 10 CFR 72.106(b). Areas where exposure levels could potentially warrant pre-planned response measures are generally limited to the ISFSI pad and nearby vicinity; 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. This Plan integrates the necessary elements to provide effective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of organizations expected to respond to emergencies.
1.2 SCOPE The SONGS IOEP is developed to respond to potential radiological emergencies at the SONGS ISFSI. Because there are no postulated off-normal, natural phenomenon, or accident events that would result in OFFSITE 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. The concepts presented in this Plan address the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency Plans" and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities". The Plan is consistent with the applicable 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 Plants" and NEI 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors" Rev. 6.
Exemptions from selected portions of 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E for SONGS were granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commissic;m (NRC) on June 4, 2015 (ADAMS Accession Number: ML15082A204). .
The IOEP revision O was approved per NRC Safety Evaluation dated November 30, 2017.
1 Revision 2
IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan 2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 OVERVIEW OF ISFSI ONLY EMERGENCY PLAN (IOEP)
In the event of an emergency at the SONGS ISFSI, actions are required to identify and assess the nature of the emergency and to respond in a manner that protects the health and safety of the public and ONSITE personnel.
This Plan describes the organization and responsibilities for implementing emergency measures. It describes interfaces with OFFSITE government agencies (Federal, State and local) which may be notified in the event of an emergency and may provide assistance. Fire, rescue and ambulance services are provided by the United States Marine Corps Camp Pendleton Fire Department (USMC CPFD). Law enforcement services are provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local public entities. Medical services are provided by Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California.
Additionally, Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, California, can provide the medical services specified in this Plan.
Because there are no postulated events that would result in OFFSITE DOSE consequences that are large enough to require OFFSITE emergency planning, emergencies are divided into two EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS: UNUSUAL EVENT (UE) and ALERT.
SONGS is responsible for planning and implementing emergency measures associated with the SONGS ISFSI. This Plan is provided to meet this responsibility. To carry out specific emergency measures discussed in this Plan, detailed implementing procedures are established and maintained.
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 SONGS has permanently ceased power operations and all Units 2 and 3 irradiated fuel has been removed from the SFPs and placed into dry storage within the SONGS ISFSI.
SONGS Unit 1 has been permanently shut down since 1993 and is in the decommissioning phase.
Above-ground structures have been dismantled. Unit 1 fuel is stored in the SONGS ISFSI and in the GE-Hitachi Morris facility.
By letter dated June 12, 2013, SCE certified its intention to permanently cease power operations at SONGS Units 2 and 3 as of June 7, 2013, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i). By letters dated June 28, 2013 and July 22, 2013, SCE certified permanent removal of fuel from the Unit 2 and Unit 3 reactor vessels, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii). The 10 CFR 50 licenses for SONGS Units 2 and 3 no longer authorize operation of the reactors, or emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactor vessels, as specified in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2).
The San Onofre ISFSI is located on the coast of southern California in San Diego County, near the border with Orange County. The site is located entirely within the boundaries of the United States Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California. There is public access between the beaches north and south of the station. Interstate Highway 5 and the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway pass within 1000 feet of the station.

IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan 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 ACTIVITIES, recovery implementation, and coordination of emergency response activities. The following sections of this Plan describe the detailed plans and actions of the SONGS EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION (ERO), including interfaces with OFFSITE support organizations.

IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan 4.0 DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS 4.1 DEFINITIONS This section provides definitions that are used in this document. Terms capitalized in the text of the definitions indicate that they are defined elsewhere in this section.
Accident Assessment - Accident assessment consists of a variety of actions taken to determine the nature, effects and severity of an accident.
Accountability - A procedural or discretionary PROTECTIVE ACTION taken for all persons within the ISFSI PROTECTED AREA, which involves the gathering of personnel into pre-designated areas, and the subsequent verification that the location of these personnel is known.
Alert - Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the ISFSI or a security event that involves probable life-threatening risk to station personnel or damage to ISFSI equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guide exposure levels.
Annual - Frequency of occurrence is met if performed within 1.25 times a 12-month interval as measured from the previous performance. This definition does not apply to the term "annual" when it relates to the conduct of the EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Exercise and drills, which are performed within the calendar year.
Assessment Activities - Actions taken during or after an emergency for the purpose of obtaining and processing the information that will be used to make the decisions to implement specific emergency measures.
Biennial - Occurring every two calendar years.
Classification - The comparison of conditions, indications, and reports associated with an off-normal, natural phenomenon, or accident event to the approved emergency classification system, to determine the most accurate EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL.
Command and Control - When in Command and Control of the event, the designated individual has overall responsibility for the SONGS emergency response efforts.
Controlled Area - The area immediately surrounding the SONGS ISFSI for which SCE exercises authority over its use and within which ISFSI operations are performed. The minimum distance from the ISFSI to this boundary is 100 meters to meet 10 CFR 72.106(b). The Controlled Area includes a portion of the Pacific Ocean and limited portions of the adjacent beach and beach walk-way.
Corrective Action - Those emergency measures taken to lessen or terminate an emergency situation to prevent an uncontrolled release of radioactive material, or to reduce the magnitude of a release. Corrective actions include, but are not limited to, equipment repair or shutdown, installation of emergency structures, firefighting, repair, and damage control.
6 Revision 2
IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan Declaration - Official determination by the EMERGENCY DIRECTOR that conditions at the ISFSI meet the criteria for an EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL warranting*CLASSIFICATION of an emergency at the UNUSUAL EVENT or ALERT EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL.
Decontamination - The reduction or removal of radioactive material contamination from a structure, area, material, object, br person. Decontamination may be accomplished by (1) treating the surface so as to remove or decrease the contamination, (2) letting the material stand so that the radioactivity is decreased as a result of natural decay, and (3) covering the contamination.
Design Basis Accident (OBA) - Credible accident events as analyzed in the ISFSI storage system Final Safety Analysis Reports (FSARs) and 10 CFR 72.212 evaluations.
Dose - A generic term that means absorbed dose, dose equivalent, effective dose equivalent, deep dose equivalent, committed dose equivalent, committed effective dose equivalent, or TOTAL EFFECTIVE DOSE EQUIVALENT.
Dose Rate - The amount of ionizing (or nuclear) radiation to which an individual would be exposed per unit of time. As it would apply to DOSE rate to a person, it is usually expressed as rems per hour or in submultiples of this unit, such as millirems per hour. The DOSE rate is commonly used to indicate the level of radioactivity in a contaminated area.
Emergency Action Level (EAL) - A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an INITIATING CONDITION that when met or exceeded places the station in a given EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL.
Emergency Classification Level (ECL) - One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to potential or actual effects or consequences, and the resulting ONSITE and OFFSITE response actions. The Emergency Classification Levels applicable to the SONGS ISFSI, in ascending order of severity, are:
- UE
- ALERT Emergency Director (ED) -The Director of the facility in COMMAND AND CONTROL of the event.
The ISFSI Shift Supervisor fills the role of ED throughout an event.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) - Specific procedures describing actions needed to implement the IOEP and describing the methods established to maintain and monitor the IOEP.
Emergency Preparedness (EP) - A state of readiness that provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken upon implementation of the Emergency Plan in the event of a radiological emergency. Also, the SCE organization responsible for the Emergency Preparedness program.
Emergency Response Facility (ERF) - The security center of the station from which the ISFSI can be monitored. The facility containing the communication equipment necessary for both normal and emergency conditions. It is operated under the direction of the ISS/ED and serves as the primary location for event CLASSIFICATION, emergency DECLARATION and Notifications to OFFSITE agencies, ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES, and CORRECTIVE ACTION direction.

IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan Emergency Response Organization (ERO) - Organization of personnel who may be called upon during an emergency to perform duties to mitigate accident conditions at SONGS.
Emergency Response Personnel - Personnel who may be called upon during an emergency to perform duties to mitigate accident conditions at SONGS.
Essential Personnel - SONGS personnel that either have assigned emergency response duties, are security personnel, are required for maintaining the safe operation of the ISFSI, or are personnel either identified as essential by the ISS/ED or performing critical tasks under the direction of the ISS/ED.
Exclusion Area - The area surrounding the reactor where the licensee has the authority to determine all activities, including exclusion or removal of personnel and property (1 O CFR 100.3).
The Exclusion Area is determined as an area of such size that an individual located at any point on its boundary for two hours immediately following ohset of the postulated fission product release would not receive a total radiation DOSE to the whole body in excess of 25 rem or a total radiation DOSE in excess of 300 rem to the thyroid from iodine exposure [10 CFR 100.11 (a)(1)]. In accordance to the letter dated March 31, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14092A332), SONGS analyses demonstrate that the radiological consequences of design basis accidents at SONGS will not exceed the 1 rem limit of the EPA PAGs at the EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY.
Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) - For SONGS, the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) is roughly formed by two semicircles with radii of 1967.5 ft. each, centered on the Unit 2 Containment dome and a point 134 ft. southeast of the Unit 3 Containment dome, with a tangent connecting the landward arcs and seaward arcs of the two semicircles. The EAB is depicted in the San Onofre 2 &
Hostage - A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station.
Hostile Action - An act toward the SONGS ISFSI or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take HOSTAGES, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end.
- This includes attack by air, land or water using guns, explosives, PROJECTILES, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included.
Hostile Action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the SONGS ISFSI. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals within the VEHICLE BARRIER SYSTEM boundary).
Hostile Force - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) - A complex designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, solid reactor-related Greater Than Class C (GTCC) waste, and ot~er radioactive materials associated with spent fuel and re~ctor-related GTCC waste storage.

2.1 ON-SHIFT POSITIONS SONGS has personnel on-shift at all times that provide the initial response to an event. Members of the on-shift organization are trained on their responsibilities and duties in the event of an emergency and are capable of performing all necessary response actions until the augmentation personnel arrive or the event is terminated. The normal shift staffing assignments include the roles and responsibilities for their emergency response functions. The relationship between normal and emergency response positions for the shift personnel is unchanged when an event occurs. (See Table 2-1.)
ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS)IEMERGENCY DIRECTOR (ED)
The ISFSI Shift Supervisor (ISS) is the on-shift individual who makes the initial event CLASSIFICATION and assumes the role of ED upon emergency DECLARATION and has the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions. If the ISS is unavailable or incapacitated, another on-shift person qualified as ED will assume the ED duties.
The ED has the authority to suspend any security measure described in the Physical Security Plan as necessary to facilitate response to emergency conditions.
The Non-delegable responsibilities of the ISS/ED include the following:
- Event CLASSIFICATION and emergency DECLARATION
- Decision to notify OFFSITE agencies
- Authorization for the use of EPA-400 emergency exposure controls (emergency worker DOSE limits that exceed 10 CFR 20 occupational exposure limits)
Key delegable responsibilities of the ED include the following:
- Management of available station resources
- Initiation of assessment and mitigative/CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
- Initiation of ONSITE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS
- Decision to call for OFFSITE law enforcement, firefighting or ambulance assistance
- Augmentation of the EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION as deemed necessary
- Notification of OFFSITE agencies (State and LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and NRC) 13 Revision 2
IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan Security Station Security is administered by the Security Plan and reports to the ED when implementing the IOEP. Security personnel assist the ED as directed.
2.2 AUGMENTED POSITION The ERO is responsible for implementing the actions described in this Plan. The ERO is made up of on-shift personnel (described in section 2.1), augmented by the Resource Manager. Supplemental personnel are contacted as needed.
Resource Manager The Resource Manager will be in contact with the ED within two hours of CLASSIFICATION. The Resource Manager will augment the ED by assisting in assessment of the emergency conditions (refer to Table 2-1) and coordinating required resources, including public information interface. The Resource Manager does not need to physically report to SONGS to perform their responsibilities.
Supplemental personnel shall report at the discretion of the ED and/or the Resource Manager.
2.3 SUPPLEMENTAL PERSONNEL Additional personnel resources may be directed to report to SONGS to provide support as needed to assess radiological conditions, conduct maintenance and repair activities, develop and implement CORRECTIVE ACTION plans, and assist with recovery actions.

16 Revision 2
IOEP-1 SONGS ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan 4.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Planning Standard 50.47(b)(4) (as exempted in Reference 3.17) -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.
SONGS utilizes NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors" as its basis for classifying emergencies. The CLASSIFICATION system referenced in NEI 99-01, Rev. 6 has been endorsed by the NRC and offers a standard method for classifying emergencies. EALs are addressed in site procedures and the ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Manual (IOEP-2).
This Plan addresses two (2) CLASSIFICATIONS of emergencies (UNUSUAL EVENT and ALERT),
which represent a hierarchy of emergencies based on potential accidents that could occur at the SONGS ISFSI. Once indications are available that an EAL is met, the event is assessed and classified, and the corresponding EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL is promptly declared as soon as possible.
4.1 UNUSUAL EVENT Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the SONGS ISFSI or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring OFFSITE response or monitoring are expected. State and LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and the NRC are notified of an UNUSUAL EVENT.
The purpose of the UNUSUAL EVENT CLASSIFICATION is to bring the on-shift staff to a state of readiness and to provide for systematic handling of event information and its relatfld decision making.
4.2 ALERT Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the SONGS ISFSI or a security event that involves probable life-threatening risk to site personnel or damage to ISFSI equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION.
Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels.
As in the case of the UNUSUAL EVENT, the ALERT CLASSIFICATION includes emergency situations which are not expected to threaten the public, but for which notification of the State and LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and the NRC is required.
17 Revision 2

IOEP-2 EAL Technical Bases Manual
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE This document contains the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved set of INITIATING CONDITIONS (ICs), their associated EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL (EAL) thresholds, and their site-specific technical bases, for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI), using the EAL development methodology found in NEI 99-01 Revision 6.
Any changes to this document will be made in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q) and 10 CFR 72.44(f).
Personnel responsible for emergency CLASSIFICATION and declaration shall use this document as a technical reference and an aid in EAL interpretation. 1 The primary tool for determining the EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL is the EAL Matrix Table in this manual. The user of the EAL Matrix Table may (but is not required to) consult the Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Manual in order to obtain additional information concerning the EALs being considered for CLASSIFICATION of an emergency.
This document is also used to facilitate review of any proposed changes to the SONGS ISFSI-Only EALs.
The SONGS ISFSI is essentially an interim spent fuel storage facility where the spent fuel is surrounded by inert gas inside a container called a canister. The canisters used at SONGS are stainless steel cylinders that are welded closed. The fuel is cooled by natural airflow around the canister. The fuel was moved to dry storage after several years in spent fuel pools, so the heat given off by the fuel has significantly decreased. Each canister is surrounded by additional steel, concrete, or other material to provide physical protection, structural integrity, and additional radiation shielding to workers and members of the public. These primary functions of the ISFSI are the focus of the ISFSI-Only ICs and EALs.
SCE was granted exemptions from portions of 10 CFR 50.47(b), 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2), and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV. The basis for these exemptions has not changed and remains in effect for the ISFSI-Only Emergency Plan (IOEP). The changes to this Technical Bases Manual reflect the lowered radiological source term and risks associated with ISFSI storage relative to reactor at power operation or storage in spent fuel pools. Source terms and accident analyses associated with design basis accidents are documented in the dry storage systems' Final Safety Analysis Reports (FSARs) and 10 CFR 72.212 evaluations.
With regard to event recognition and CLASSIFICATION, regulations specific to the declaration of emergencies are provided in planning standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.B, and 10 CFR 72.32(a)(3).
1 Emergency event declaration is required to be made as soon as possible and within 30 minutes after the availability of the indications that an EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL has been exceeded. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay event declaration.
1 Revision 2
IOEP-2 EAL Technical Bases Manual The NRC, by letter to Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) dated 03/28/13 (ML12346A463), documented its review of the draft version of NEI 99-01, Revision 6, dated November 2012 (ML12326A805), and found it acceptable for use by licensees seeking to upgrade their EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS (EALs) in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix E. The regulatory and technical analysis for this endorsement can be retrieved through ADAMS Accession No. ML13008A736.
1.2 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVELS (ECLS)
As defined in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, nuclear power plant emergencies are separated into four ECLs:
- UNUSUALEVENT(U~
- ALERT
- Site Area Emergency
- General Emergency The ECLs are escalated from least severe to most severe according to the relative threat to the health and safety of the public and emergency workers. An ECL is determined to be met by identifying abnormal conditions and then comparing them to ICs through EAL threshold values as discussed below. When multiple EALs are met, event declaration is based in the highest ECL reached.
The ISFSI Only ICs and EALs within this document use the lower two of the four EC Ls. The source terms and release motive forces associated with an ISFSI are not sufficient to require declaration of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.
2 Revision 2
IOEP-2 EAL Technical Bases Manual 1.3 INITIATING CONDITIONS (ICS)
An IC is a general description of an event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the ECLs by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences.
Each IC is given a unique identification code consisting of a hyphenated letter combination, a separate letter and one number. The hyphen*ated letter combination identifies the recognition category, the separate letter identifies the ECL, and the number identifies the sequence of the IC within the recognition category. The EAL identification codes are developed as follows:
Permanently Defueled Recognition Category Applicable to ISFSI
- PD-H - Hazards and Other Conditions ISFSI Recognition Category
- U- UNUSUAL EVENT
- A-ALERT For an ISFSI-Only station, 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.
Security and Judgment ICs and EALs were included to provide a basis for classifying events that cannot be readily classified based on observable events or physical conditions alone.
1.4 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS (EALS)
An EAL is a pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an IC that, when met or exceeded, places the ISFSI in a given ECL.
EAL thresholds may utilize a variety of criteria including instrument readings and status indications; observable events; and entry into particular procedures.
EALs are individually identified by the IC identification code followed by the EAL number, such as E-HU1 .1 for damage to a loaded canister CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY or PD-HA1 .1 for a HOSTILE ACTION within the VEHICLE BARRIER SYSTEM (VBS).
All EAL CLASSIFICATION assessments shall 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 operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy.
3 Revision 2
IOEP-2 EAL Technical Bases Manual 1.5 EAL TECHNICAL BASES MANUAL CONTENT EAL Matrix Table This manual contains an EAL Matrix Table that addresses all of the recognition categories for the ISFSI EAL thresholds.
The EAL Matrix Table is designed as an evaluation tool that organizes the ECLs from the highest (ALERT) on the left to the lowest (UNUSUAL EVENT) on the right. Evaluating the EALs for each ECL from highest to lowest reduces the possibility that an event will be under classified. All EALs are to be reviewed for applicability prior to event declaration.
Other user aids, such as wallcharts, may be developed from the EAL Matrix Table to support evaluation of abnormal conditions in other human factored formats.
EAL Documentation Format Each EAL within the technical bases manual is documented in the following manner:
- IC Identification Number
- INITIATING CONDITION
- EAL Threshold Value(s)
- Basis
- Basis Reference(s) 4 Revision 2

Emergency Action Level (EAL) - A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold for an INITIATING CONDITION that, when met or exceeded, places the station in a given ECL.
Emergency Classification Level (ECL) - One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to potential or actual effects or consequences, and the resulting ONSITE and OFFSITE response actions. The Emergency Classification Levels applicable to the SONGS ISFSI, in ascending order of severity, are:
- UE
- ALERT Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) - For SONGS, the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) is roughly formed by two semicircles with radii of 1967.5 ft. each, centered on the Unit 2 Containment dome and a point 134 ft. southeast of the Unit 3 Containment dome, with a tangent connecting the landward arcs and seaward arcs of the two semicircles. The EAB is depicted in the San Onofre 2 &
Hostage - A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station.
5 Revision 2
IOEP-2 EAL Technical Bases Manual Hostile Action - An act toward the SONGS ISFSI or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take HOSTAGES, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end.
This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, PROJECTILES, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included.
Hostile Action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on the SONGS ISFSI.. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals within the VBS boundary).
Hostile Force - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) - A complex designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel, solid reactor-related Greater Than Class C (GTCC) waste, and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel and reactor-related GTCC waste storage.
Initiating Condition (IC) - An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the ECLs by virtue of the potential or actual effects or consequences.
Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) - A Holtec sealed spent nuclear fuel canister which provides the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY for the contained radioactive materials.
Offsite - The area around the station that lies beyond the EAB.
Onsite - The area around the station that lies within the EAB.
Projectile - An object directed toward the SONGS ISFSI that could cause concern for its continued capability, reliability, or personnel safety.
Protected Area (PA) - That area within the ISFSI security boundary as defined in SONGS' Security Plan.
Security Condition - Any security event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety. A Security Condition does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION.
Transfer Cask - Container designed to contain the Transnuclear DSC or Holtec MPC during and after loading of spent fuel assemblies, prior to and during unloading, and to transfer the DSC or MPC to or from the Transnuclear AHSM or Holtec VERTICAL VENTILATED MODULE (WM).
Site Boundary - The plant easement boundary (or site boundary) is delineated in the San Onofre 2
& 3 UFSAR (DSAR) Section 2.1.1.2. The site, comprising 83.63 acres, is approximately 4500 feet long and 800 feet wide. The San Onofre State Beach is located along the Pacific Coast on both the north and south ends of the site. Old U.S. Highway 101 is immediately adjacent to the east boundary line of the site. Access between open beach areas is provided by a walkway (the beach
- passage-way) adjacent to the NIA and Units 2&3 seawal'is.
Unusual Event (UE) - Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the ISFSI 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 occurs.

I Basis: . . '.-~ ';, \'. ...
This IC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the VBS boundary. This event will require rapid response and assistance due to the possibility of the attack progressing to the ISFSI PROTECTED AREA.
Timely and accurate communications between SSS and the ISS is essential for proper CLASSIFICATION of a security-related event.
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 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, 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 the requirements of 10 CFR 73. 71 or 10 CFR 50.72.
EAL #1 is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, within the VBS boundary.
This includes any action directed against the ISFSI that is located within the VBS boundary.
In some cases, it may not be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the VBS boundary was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). It is expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. In this case, the appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA or NRC. The emergency declaration, including one based on other ICs/EALs, should not be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency.
Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location.
Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the Security Plan.

This IC addresses events that pose a threat to station personnel or the spent fuel, and thus represent a potential degradation in the level of station safety. Security events which do not meet one of these EALs are adequately addressed by the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under IC PD-HA 1.
Timely and accurate communications between SSS and the ISS is essential for proper CLASSIFICATION of a security-related event. CLASSIFICATION of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to station personnel and OFFSITE Response Organizations.
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].
EAL #1 references Security Shift Supervisor because these are the individuals trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on security event confirmation and CLASSIFICATION is controlled due to the nature of Safeguards and 10 CFR 2.390 information.
EAL #2 addresses the receipt of a credible security threat. The credibility of the threat is assessed in accordance with Security procedures. Credible security threat includes a HOSTILE ACTION within the SITE BOUNDARY outside of the VBS boundary.
Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location.
Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the Security Plan.

The measurement locations shall be approximately 90 degrees apart around the circumference of the cask. Dose rates shall be measured between the radial ribs of the water jacket.
I Basis:*
This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage canister containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage canister is sealed. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of one or more fuel assemblies due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the canister or fuel from storage.
The existence of "damage" is determined by radiological survey. The EAL threshold values, which are a technical specification multiple of "2 times", are 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 canister and not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. It is recognized that in the case of extreme damage to a loaded canister, 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 canister.
Security-related events for ISFSls are covered under ICs PD-HU1 and PD-HA1.

- Editorial changes.
The Site Boundary definition is used in IOEP-1 Section 10.0, Protective Actions, to specify that non-essential personnel located outside of the ISFSI PA but within the Site Boundary may be directed to report to an assembly area or exit the site, as appropriate.
Updating the definition ensures adequate protective measures are taken as needed.
The removal of wording indicating that dosimeters are utilized to monitor the exposure of personnel during normal conditions aligns the Emergency Plan with Radiation Protection practices since the Radiation Protection program does not require the use of dosimeters at the ISFSI during normal conditions.
Clarifying the term annual for Emergency Preparedness drills aligns them with the periodicity for Biennial Exercise and the Integrated Drill. As stated in IOEP-1, drills may be performed as part of the Biennial Exercise, Integrated Drill or as an independent drill.
The Biennial Exercise and the Integrated Drill do not have the requirement to be performed within 1.25 times a 12-month interval, they are performed any time during the year. Therefore, this periodicity is also applicable to the annual drills, either when they are part of the biennial exercise or integrate drill, or when they are performed as independent drills.
Proactively inviting Federal, State, and local government agencies to participate or observe scheduled exercises ensures consistency in the exercise preparation process.
This change ensures that exercises and drills are conducted periodically, and offsite organizations are invited to participate or observe.
The word "overview" is being removed from "emergency planning overview training", as it is not used in the specific training modules, and it may cause misunderstanding. This change ensures the Emergency Plan properly reflects the training practices The clarification that station personnel are trained to report any fire to the ISFSI Alarm Station ensures that the Emergency Plan properly reflects the training practices.
The Emergency Plan continues to meet the regulatory requirements of 10CFR50.47(b) and 10CFR50 Appendix E, as exempted.
The changes do not modify the licensing basis with regards to a reduction in effectiveness. Responsibility for emergency response is assigned. Methods, systems, and equipment for assessment of radioactive releases are in use. A range of Protective Actions is available for implementation during emergencies. A range of protective actions is available for emergency workers during emergencies, including hostile action events. The resources for controlling radiological exposures for emergency workers are established. A drill and exercise program (including radiological, medical, health physics, or other program areas) is established. Training is provided to emergency responders. The capability and timeliness of the functions described are not altered by EP SOA Rev 0 08/20 Page 2 of 3

Weaknesses Items of documented performance during an exercise, drill or training that could have precluded effective implementation of the Emergency Plan in the event of an actual emergency.
4.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 4.1 Precautions 4.1.1 IOEP Maintenance
- The IOEP is designed as a last line of defense to address emergencies at an ISFSI including the capability of protecting public health and safety during and following the event. Therefore, regulations that govern emergency equipment may require more timely restoration than technical specifications or other administrative controls.
- Emergency equipment must be capable of functioning at all times. IF there is a loss of function, THEN compensatory measures must be evaluated and used to restore the function until the emergency equipment is repaired.
- A loss of function of the IOEP requires a determination regarding reportability in accordance with SEC-15 (10 CFR 50.72).

- Multiple activities may be considered on a single screening so long as all proposed activities are identified and screened.
- An activity may involve a specific change that results in an impact to a single item or it may involve a much broader change to an area of the emergency preparedness program.
6.2.1.1.2 Screen each activity separately unless it involves any of the following:
- Editorial or typographical changes such as formatting, paragraph numbering, spelling, grammar, punctuation, or title changes that do NOT change the intent.
- Conforming changes (e.g., activities that implement a change associated with regulation, order, or NRC approved license amendments that specifically address the impact on the SONGS emergency preparedness program).
- Repetitive identical changes such as a single activity that changes several sections of the IOEP or EPIPs.
- Two or more changes that are interdependent (e.g., an activity where one change compensates for another change, such as changes to the ERO staffing, changing equipment used for multiple functions, major program changes in a particular area, etc.).
