1 Rev. 42 JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT EMERGENCY PLAN I. INTRODUCTION A. PURPOSE The purpose of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Emergency Plan is to protect the health and safety of the general public, persons temporarily visiting or assigned to the plant, and plant employees in accordance with the requirements set forth in Appendix E, "Emergency Plans for Production and Utilization Facilities", of 10CFR50, "Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities".

Detailed procedures concerning the implementation of the Emergency Plan are not included here but are included in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

These procedures, listed in Appendix 4(D), describe the duties of individuals and groups in the event of an emergency and they also serve as an interface of the Emergency Plan to plant operations, security and radiological control. Supporting emergency plans, which include the emergency plans for the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, are listed in Appendix 6(F).

Information submitted in this plan was developed in accordance with the elements outlined in NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1 "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants". Information that describes the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) for Southern Nuclear is outlined in Appendix 7(G).

B.

SUMMARY

Southern Nuclear Operating Company corporate management has overall responsibility for maintaining a state of readiness to implement emergency plans for the protection of plant personnel, the general public and property from hazards associated with ionizing radiation originating within a company facility. The authority for planning, developing, and coordinating emergency control measures is discussed in Appendix 9 (I), Responsibility For The Planning Effort.

The Farley Plant Emergency Plan describes the organization and facilities both onsite and offsite that will be used to deal with a spectrum of accidents ranging from minor onsite incidents to those that could affect the general public. There are three phases of responsive action contained within the Farley Plant Emergency Plan. The first phase includes initial actions directed toward the protection of personnel and the elimination of the potential for further exposure to the hazard.

2 Rev. 47 The second phase includes immediate and planned action directed toward termination of the incident, containment of the effluent, establishment of incident boundaries, establishment of control, channeling of information and protection of the facility and equipment. The third phase is to restore the facility to its normal operating condition.

To respond effectively utilizing these phases, emergencies are classified according to increasing severity as Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency or

General Emergency. C. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Definitions
a. Affected Persons Individuals who have been radiologically exposed or physically injured as a result of an accident to a degree requiring special attention, e.g.,

decontamination, first aid, or medical services. b. Assessment Actions Those actions taken during or after an accident which are collectively necessary to make decisions to implement specific emergency measures. c. Controlled Area The Controlled Area is the fenced area immediately surrounding the nuclear plant, access to which is controlled for industrial security purposes. d. Corrective Action Those emergency measures taken to terminate an emergency situation at or near the source of the problem. e. Emergency Action Levels Radiological dose rates; specific contamination levels of airborne, waterborne or surface deposited concentrations of radioactive materials; or specific instrument indications (including their rates of change) that may be used as thresholds for initiating such specific emergency measures as designating a particular class of emergency, initiating a notification procedure or initiating a particular protective action. f. EOF Manager The EOF Manager is responsible for the activation of the corporate emergency organization and for providing corporate emergency support prior to and following Emergency Operations Facility activation.

g. Emergency Director The Plant Manager or designated alternate as the Emergency Director is charged with the responsibility of overall direction of the plant emergency activity and with initial interfacing with offsite groups.

3 Rev. 47 h. Hostile Action An act toward an NPP or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, takes hostages, and /or intimidates 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 NPP. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area.

i. 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.
j. Offsite All land and water areas outside the site property lines are considered to be offsite. k. Onsite All land and water areas inside the site property lines, use of which must be authorized by SNC, is referred to as onsite. l. Population at Risk Those persons for whom protective actions are being or would be taken. m. Protected Area The Protected Area is the fenced area immediately surrounding the plant Vital Areas, access to which is limited to those individuals with good cause for

entry. n. Protective Action Guides Projected radiological dose or dose commitment values to individuals in the general population that warrant protective action following a release of

radioactive material. o. Protective Actions Those emergency measures taken after an uncontrolled release of radioactive material has occurred for the purpose of preventing or minimizing radiological exposures that would be likely to occur to persons if the actions were not taken.

4 Rev. 47

p. Radiation Controlled Area The containment and the potentially contaminated portion of the Auxiliary Building and other areas onsite such as High Radiation Area, Radiation

Area, Radioactive Materials Area, Airborne Radioactivity Area or

Contaminated Area. q. Recovery Actions Those actions taken after the emergency to restore the plant as nearly as possible to its pre-emergency condition.

r. Vital Area The Vital Areas are those plant areas which enclose major systems, equipment and components necessary to prevent or mitigate the consequences of an accident. 2. Emergency Ingress and Egress
a. Emergency Ingress Ingress to any area of the plant can be obtained by the use of keys which

are maintained by the Shift Supervisor and the Senior Security Force Member. In the case of electrically locked doors, keys will override the locking device. The necessary keys will be issued as required to combat the emergency. b. Emergency Egress Egress from any area of the plant is assured without keys, electrical power or

other devices.

5 Rev. 49 II. ORGANIZATION The organization, responsibilities and functions of Southern Nuclear Operating Company onsite and offsite resources are individually discussed below. The onsite and offsite organizations provide emergency response duri ng the activation, emergency, and recovery phases of accident response. Principal federal, state, local and private agencies are also discussed. Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the interrelationships of these organizations before and after Emergency Operations Facility activation respectively. A. ONSITE The normal onsite organization for Farley Nuclear Plant is shown on Figure 1. Management positions in the onsite organization meet the qualification requirements of ANSI N18.1-1971.

The qualifications for the professional-technical level positions also meet the

requirements of ANSI N18.1-1971.

1. Technical Support Center (TSC)

The emergency onsite organization implemented for events requiring activation of the TSC is described in FNP-0-EIP-0 and is shown in Figure 2.

Responsibilities and authorities of personnel in the TSC emergency organization are as follows:

a. Emergency Director (ED)

The ED is charged with the responsibility of overall direction of onsite emergency activity including near-site field monitoring team dispatch and control and interfacing with offsite organizations and agencies until the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is activated. After the EOF is functional, the ED is responsible for overall direction of all in-plant emergency activity. The ED shall supervise the TSC and manage the in plant recovery efforts and the in plant recovery organization. The ED shall communicate directly with the EOF Manager when the EOF is activated and shall have full authority to direct the onsite recovery efforts without further consultation when the situation demands such action. Following EOF activation when time permits the ED will consult with EOF personnel prior to initiating major evolutions or changes in plant configuration. The ED's general responsibilities include:

1) Staffing the TSC. The TSC will be staffed by plant supervisory personnel supplemented by plant engineering, technical and administrative personnel as necessary to staff the TSC 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day and discharge the responsibilities discussed below.
2) Evaluating the classification of the emergency and amending as appropriate. Terminating an emergency level will not be delegated to other elements of the emergency organization and will be performed in accordance with approved procedures.

6 Rev. 56 3) Verifying correct control room response to the emergency classification.

4) Determining radiological status and initiating notifications to state agencies (and local agencies for General Emergencies). The decision to notify offsite government agencies may not be delegated to any other element of the emergency organization.
5) Initiating, on initial or upgrade emergency notifications, recommendations to state agencies on advisability of evacuations. Recommendations to local agencies when state authorities cannot be contacted for immediate evacuation may not be delegated to any other element of the emergency organization.
6) Initiating rescue or emergency repair operations as appro-priate. 7) Maintaining plant security.

Portable radiation survey instruments Although the OSLDs and the air particulate and iodine samples may be evaluated by an outside vendor, the capability for evaluating the air particulate and iodine samples exists at the plant. FNP-0-RCP-25 provides methodology for utilizing available air sampling and

monitoring

43 Rev. 50 equipment to measure radioiodine concentrations in air in the plume exposure EPZ as low as 10-7 uCi/ml under field conditions. Interference from noble gas and background radiation will not decrease the minimum detectable activity. A detailed description of the minimum portable and fixed health physics equipment available at the site is given in FSAR Section 12.3. Predesignated monitoring and sampling points are listed in FNP-0-EIP-4, "Health Physics Support to the Emergency Plan".

The states of Georgia and Florida have mobile laboratory facilities that could be used in case of emergencies. All field monitoring data will be transmitted to and analyzed at the EOF (the TSC until the EOF is staffed). The University of Georgia and Oak Ridge National Laboratories have fixed radiological laboratories in the general geographic area that can aid in radiological analysis. It is estimated that the response time for these organizations will range from 2 to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

The plant is equipped with a computer which utilizes automatically input meteorological data, effluent monitor data and selected plant parameter data (e.g. steam generator pressure, plant vent stack flow rate, etc.) to calculate estimated and projected offsite dose.

The system automatically actuates when effluent monitors indicate abnormal release point activity and continues until manually terminated. Calculational results are available at computer terminals located at the TSC, EOF and other selected locations.

In the event that the above computer is not available and for long term dose assessment, a

manual personal computer method is provided in FNP-0-EIP-9.3, "Personal Computer - Automated Dose Assessment Method". The system calculates estimated and projected offsite dose, and plume dimensions, location and arrival times out to 50 miles from the plant site. Meteorological data, effluent monitor data and plant parameter data utilized in the manual calculations will usually be obtained from local data systems. In the event that the local data systems are not available then data may be obtained from the control room meteorological data recorder, effluent monitor instruments and control room indicators.

A detailed discussion of the automatic offsite dose assessment method is provided in FNP-0-M-007, "Emergency Dose Calculation Manual". A detailed discussion of the manual offsite dose assessment method is provided in the MIDAS (Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System) Technical Manual.

56 Rev. 50 IV. ASSESSMENT ACTIONS AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES A. CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES IS DESCRIBED IN APPENDIX 11(k)

B. POST ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT ACTIONS Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization require continuing assessment through the duration of the emergency situation. In addition to continued monitoring of control room instrumentation and plant parameters, some special assessment actions are, initiated if appropriate. These assessment functions are identified below:

1. Reactor Coolant Sampling, Containment Atmosphere Sampling and Plant Vent Stack Sampling.

RCS, containment atmosphere and/or plant vent stack samples will be taken and analyzed to assess the severity of core damage and the potential radiological consequences. The detailed sampling procedures for each area are provided in FNP-0-CCP-1300, "Chemistry and Environmental Activities During a Radiological Accident". FNP-0-EIP-30, "Post Accident Core Damage Assessment" provides a method to estimate the extent of core damage utilizing various plant monitor readings.

2. Surveillance of Control Room Monitors

Surveillance of radiological and meteorological monitors in the control room is primarily the responsibility of operations personnel. However, in the event that offsite assessments based on this data are necessary, an individual designated by the Emergency Director will maintain surveillance over effluent monitor readings and dose projections, periodically reporting them to those designated in FNP-0-EIP-6, "TSC Setup and Activation". If the dose assessment computer is inoperable, the designated individual will periodically log the monitor values.

3. In-Plant and Site Surveys During emergency conditions in-plant, site and site boundary surveys will be performed as appropriate by the Field Monitoring Team as described in FNP-0-EIP-4, "Health Physics Support to the Emergency Plan". The Field Monitoring Team will be capable of sampling under field conditions and will be capable of measuring radioiodine in the presence of noble gas and background radiation to as low as 5 x 10

-8 uCi/cc. 4. Population Exposure

57 Rev. 52 Exposure projections shall be periodically estimated in the affected sectors utilizing projected dose and measured dose rates. The Dose Assessment Supervisor will work with the state/local agency

representatives to determine the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) exposure (resulting from external exposure and inhalation of the plume and external exposure from deposition) and thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) exposure (resulting from the inhalation of radio-iodines).

5. Environs Surveys and Monitoring
a. Short Term Assessment Short term assessment will involve the use of the estimates and projections provided by the emergency dose calculation computer program s performed in accordance with FNP-0-EIP-9.3, "Personal Computer-Automated Dose Assessment Methods". Onsite and offsite surveys will be performed as necessary to verify release information or as a backup assessment method should the instrumentation used for dose assessment go off-scale or become inoperable. Monitoring teams will normally be dispatched in vehicles and will be equipped with two-way radios for communication with the TSC or EOF. Teams will be equipped with liquid sampling equipment, a GM instrument, an ion chamber instrument, and/or an air sampler as deemed appropriate by the Emergency Director, Health Physics Supervisor or Dose Assessment Supervisor. An environs survey team could be in the field within one hour. Radiological survey and sampling points will be identified by sector as shown in Figure 20. The correlation of various measured parameters (contamination levels, water and air activities) to dose rates for key isotopes and gross radioactivity levels is provided by FNP-0-RCP-25.
b. Long Term Assessment The long term aspects involving offsite assessments of contamination involving analysis of soil, vegetation, food, milk and water will be primarily handled by the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida as discussed in their Radiological Emergency Plans. The response of SNC would be to increase the sampling frequency of its established environmental monitoring program.

C. PROTECTIVE ACTIONS AND EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS The nature of protective actions to be implemented, the criteria for application, and the area involved or groups of persons for whom the protective actions would be taken are given here.

58 Rev. 56 1. Onsite Protective Action

a. Evacuation In the event of a Notification of Unusual Event an area of the turbine building, auxiliary building, or containment may have to be evacuated.

Personnel would be notified to evacuate the affected area via the public address system as directed by the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Should a Site Area Emergency, General Emergency, or an Alert be declared, immediate notification of all persons onsite may be accomplished by sounding the Plant Emergency Alarm and announcing the condition over the plant public address system.

Personnel onsite would report to their pre-assigned assembly area and preparations for evacuation of nonessential persons from the site would begin. Depending on the severity of the emergency condition, these individuals will be held in an

assembly area, evacuated, or returned to work.

If a site evacuation is warranted, personnel will be advised as to which routes should be used. The normal routes are State Highway 95 North or South and County Road 42 West (Figures 17 and 19). All personnel being evacuated from the site will be monitored before being released. Personnel leaving the site would then proceed, in their own vehicles, on one of these major routes, to their residences. Transportation for persons without vehicles will be arranged.

The details for evacuation and personnel accountability of all categories of personnel listed above are given in FNP-0-EIP-10, "Evacuation, Personnel Accountability, and Site Dismissal" and FNP-0-EIP-14 "Emergency Response Teams".

b. Personnel Accountability Each plant supervisor or the senior individual onsite from his group is responsible for accounting for all persons working in or visiting his group. Accountability within the Protected Area will be determined by the senior individual at the assembly area coordinating with the Security Response Center (SRC) and then will be reported to the Emergency Director by the senior plant security force member at the SRC. Accountability within the Controlled Area will be determined by the senior individual at each assembly area coordinating with the Security Response Center (SRC) Staff and then will be reported to the Emergency Director by the senior individual in the SRC. Contractor personnel assigned to Plant Modification and Maintenance Support (PMMS) report to the Fabrication Shop and will assemble by individual craft. Fitness for Duty Facility personnel outside the Protected Area report to the Visitor's Center Auditorium. No public access areas

59 Rev. 56 pass through or are within the owner controlled area. The owner controlled area is fenced and/or posted. Security patrols are conducted at random intervals as a part of daily routine. Detailed procedures for determining and reporting accountability and Responsibilities for accountability during local evacuations are given in FNP-0-EIP-10, "Evacuation, Personnel Accountability, and Site Dismissal".

Following accountability initiation, security personnel will control site access and egress for the duration of the emergency, maintaining entry/exit logs to allow accountability of all personnel onsite. c. Contamination and Exposure Control Measures The limits for personnel exposure set forth in 10CFR20 shall not

be exceeded without approval of the Emergency Director or his designee. Emergency exposure criteria are:

1) Farley Nuclear Plant personnel who have completed the onsite radiation protection training, may receive o 10 Rem When emergency onsite action is required to eliminate a source or potential source that represents a hazard to the general public or to prevent a substantial loss in property and a lower dose is not practicable.

o 25 Rem For life-saving operations such as rescue and search for known missing persons or for protection of large populations when a

lower dose is not practicable.

o >25 Rem but not to exceed 100 Rem For lifesaving or protection of large populations only on a voluntary basis. The volunteer worker should do so with full awareness of the associated risks for the radiation dose to be incurred.

2) Hospital and Ambulance Service Personnel, may receive o 3 Rem If there is an adequate number of attendants such that rotation may be accomplished without further endangering the patient(s).

o 5 Rem If the number of attendants is limited such that personnel cannot

be rotated.

o 25 Rem To save a life.

60 Rev. 56 Dosimetry, respiratory protection equipment and protective clothing will be issued for use in accordance with established Radiological Control Procedures. A supply of radio protective drugs (potassium iodide) is available onsite and, if necessary, will be issued at the direction of the Emergency Director to emergency personnel remaining or arriving onsite.

The levels of permissible radioactive contamination for personnel and equipment to be released from an RCA during an emergency are as follows:

Personnel Equipment

<5,000 dpm/100 cm 2 ND GMT/100 cm 2 (smearable) and < .25 mR/hr (fixed)

However, the Emergency Director may authorize higher levels based on plant conditions and recommendations from the HP Supervisor. When levels above these values are encountered, decontamination will be initiated. Facilities, supplies and waste disposal capability exists to provide for both personnel (emergency or onsite relocated) and equipment decontamination. Methods for equipment decontamination are discussed in NMP-HP-304, "Decontamination of Areas, Tools, and Equipment" and for personnel in NMP-HP-303, "Personnel Decontamination" with particular attention being given to radioiodine contamination of the skin. Extra clothing for personnel will be provided in the event personal clothing is confiscated. Information on personnel decontamination facilities is contained in Section III.

To prevent or minimize direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces, access into the exclusion area will be controlled by security personnel. Additionally, if conditions warrant, the site drinking water will be sampled and analyzed for radioactivity and quarantined, if necessary. If a quarantine is placed on the water, it will not be returned to use until the activity has returned to within acceptable limits as dictated by the State of Alabama Board of Health "Regulations Governing Public Water Supplies".

Personnel which are found to be contaminat ed when monitored during evacuation will be returned to the plant for deconning if possible. If the plant is not accessible, the personnel will be transported to the nearest decontamination facility.

Offsite contamination controls are described in the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida plans.

2. Offsite Protective Action The states of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are responsible, in

61 Rev. 45 their respective state, for handling the offsite radiological aspects of any emergency that should develop at the Farley Nuclear Plant. The Emergency Plans for Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are given in each states Radiological Emergency Plan.

The criteria to be used for offsite protective action recommendations is given below. The basis for protective action guides is the "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Action for Nuclear Incidents", EPA-400-R-92-001. It should be noted that these levels are quite low and are used as guidelines for protective action rather than rigid levels of action. Recommendation of sheltering in residences shall be considered when there is radiological puff release that exceeds the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a below or there are hazards on or off-site that would make an evacuation dangerous. Areas within a ten mile radius in which protective action is deemed necessary will be referred to by Evacuation Zone as shown in Figure 21. The population distribution within this ten-mile radius has been predicted for the life of the plant and is summarized graphically in Figure 22.

a. Classification of Offsite Incidents SNC Classification Projected Dosage Organ or Media Involved GENERAL 1.0 Rem TEDE

5.0 Rem Thyroid CDE

SITE AREA 0.1 Rem TEDE

0.5 Rem Thyroid CDE

b. Response Classification Protective Actions to be Recommended to State Authorities GENERAL Recommendations based on plant conditions or projected dose:

1.) PAR 1 - Shelter to 2 miles and 5 mile downwind zones. Used when there is radiological puff release that exceeds the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a above or there are hazards on or off-site that would make an evacuation dangerous.

2.) PAR 2 - Evacuate to 2 miles and 5 mile downwind zones. Used when a general emergency has been declared but the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a above has not been exceeded.

3). PAR 3 - Evacuate to 5 miles and 10 mile downwind zones Used when a general emergency has been declared and the projected dosage for a general emergency listed in section a above has been exceeded.

4) Distribution of potassium iodide (KI) in accordance with State plans.
5) Advise Remainder of EPZ to Monitor Local Radio/TV Stations and TARs for Additional Information.

62 Rev. 51 Classification Protective Actions to be Recommended to State Authorities SITE AREA No Protective Action Recommendations are to be made at the Site Area emergency level. The Emergency Director should upgrade to a General Emergency if PARs are determined to be needed and not already in a

General Emergency.

ALERT No Protective Action Recommendations are to be made at the Alert level. The Emergency Director should upgrade to a General Emergency if PARs are determined to be needed and not already in a General Emergency.

The authority for initiation or relaxation of protective action recommendations is vested solely with the Emergency Director and may not be delegated to any other member of the emergency organization. Processes for development, approval, and notification of protective action recommendations are described in NMP-EP-111, "Emergency Notifications" and NMP-EP-112 "Protective Action Recommendations".

66 Rev. 55 V. ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION A. DECLARATION OF AN EMERGENCY The Shift Manager shall have the authority and responsib ility to immediately and unilaterally declare an emergency and initiate emergency response.Section IV of this plan delineates criteria for declaring emergency conditions.

Upon declaration of an emergency the Shift Manager will immediately notify the on-call Emergency Director (ED). Until the on-call ED arrives onsite and relieves the Shift Manager, the Shift Manager shall complete the duties of the ED prior to the on-call ED taking full responsibility for implementation of the Emergency Plan. Duties of the Shift Manager as an Emergency Director are addressed in NMP-EP-110, "Emergency Classification Determination and Initial Action" and NMP-EP-111, "Emergency Notifications".

The ED, Shift Clerk, or designee will notify the EOF Manager of the emergency condition. The EOF Manager will decide on the appropriate level of activation utilizing the criteria shown in Table 4.

B. ORGANIZATION ACTIVATION During the initial stages of an emergency situation, emergency activities at FNP are directed from the control room. For a Notification of Unusual Event, no other facilities need be activated. For security related events, the activation of emergency facilities may be delayed. Activation of ERO members will be performed for hostile action based events to promptly staff alternative facilities, in order to minimize delays in overall site response. The ERO will be staged in a manner that supports rapid response to limit or mitigate site damage or the potential for an offsite radiological release.

During hostile action, ERO members would likely not have access to the onsite emergency response facilities. A security related emergency may delay the ordering of facility activation in order to protect plant personnel from the security threat. The decision to delay activation of the facilities will be made by the Emergency Director. However, these events still warrant timely ERO augmentation. Alternative facilities have been identified to ensure rapid access to the site by augmented staff. These facilities have been established to minimize delays in overall site response by permitting ERO assembly without exposing responders to the danger of hostile action. These facilities function as staging areas for augmented ERO staff until the site is secured.

The minimum quantity of personnel available on shift and the quantity of additional personnel available within 75 minutes following declaration of the emergency to staff the emergency organization are shown in Table 3.

Each shift shall have a Shift Technical Advisor (STA). The STA will have No duties or responsibilities for manipulation of controls or command of operations during an emergency.

The normal shift crew will consist of at least those positions listed as "on shift" in Table 3. There will be a licensed operator in each unit's control room at all times when fuel is in the core of the respective unit. There will be a Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) in the control room (shared) at all times when fuel is in either core. Shift staffing for core alterations will also include either a SRO limited to fuel handling or a SRO not assigned any duties concurrent with core alterations.

Upon receiving notification of an emergency, the Emergency Director will proceed to the site. A shift communicator will coordinate the plant call list to notify those individuals of the Emergency Organization needed to meet initial activation requirements. The EOF Manager will be notified in accordance with NMP-EP-110, "Emergency Classification Determination and Initial Action".

Criteria for the activation of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility are shown in Table 4.

67 Rev. 51 1. Technical Support Center Activation The onsite emergency response organization which will be directed from the TSC is described in Section II. The TSC will be staffed and ready to receive emergency response functions by the following on-call individuals within 75 minutes following declaration of an emergency

METHODOLOGY Due to the unforeseeable conditions that would exist in an emergency condition, specific recovery criteria and procedures will be developed when required, considering maximum protection for plant personnel and the general public consistent with reasonable efforts to restore the affected Unit and continuing operation of the unaffected unit.

The decision to relax protective measures will be based upon a comprehensive review of plant system parameters. These shall include but not be limited

to the following:

1. Stability of the reactor shutdown condition i.e., successful movement toward a cold shutdown condition.
2. Integrity of the reactor containment building.
3. Operability of radioactive waste systems and decontamination facilities.
4. The availability and operability of a heat sink.
5. The integrity of power supplies and electrical equipment.
6. The operability and integrity of instrumentation including radiation monitoring equipment. In the latter instance this shall include portable equipment assigned to the emergency.
7. Availability of trained personnel and support services.

The Emergency Director will analyze the input from his advisors in the areas listed above to determine if plant restoration efforts can begin. The following criteria shall be considered appropriate for the consideration of relaxation of protective measures:

1. Plant parameters of operation no longer indicate a potential or actual emergency exists. 2. The release of radioactivity from the plant is controllable and no longer exceeds permissible levels and no danger to the public from this source is credible.
3. The plant is capable of sustaining itself in a long term shutdown condition.
4. Plant entry and clean-up is possible without workers receiving in excess of their permissible exposures.

79 Rev. 56 B. ORGANIZATION The recovery organization which will conduct the activities of returning the plant toward its pre-emergency condition to the extent reasonable is described in Section II.B.3.

C. NOTIFICATION The Emergency Director shall notify the Vice President - Nuclear Plant Site and company management that a decision has been reached to initiate a recovery operation. The ED shall then notify offsite agencies' representatives ensuring the NRC, and state and local authorities are provided with the same information. He shall also inform these agencies if any change in the structure of the recovery organization is to occur.

80 Rev. 42 VIII. MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS A. EXERCISES AND DRILLS Periodic drills and exercises will be conducted as described below. The scenarios for use in these drills will include the following elements:

o The basic objective, o The date, time, place(s) and participating organizations, o The simulated event, o A time schedule of real and simulated events, o A narrative summary describing conduct of the drill. Monitoring personnel shall be stationed at various locations to observe each individual's ability to perform his assigned emergency function.

During drills and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) non-evaluated exercises, on-the-spot correction of erroneous performance and a demonstration of proper performance may be made by the monitoring personnel.

1. Radiation Emergency Exercises a. Exercises simulating radiation emergencies will be conducted on a frequency consistent with 10CFR50, Appendix E.IV.F. These scenarios will be varied from exercise to exercise such that all major elements of the plans and emergency organizations are exercised at least once every 5 years. These exercises will be preplanned with the following purposes:
1) To determine the effectiveness of the FNP emergency organization in handling emergencies,
2) To evaluate communications and action support with off-site agencies, 3) To evaluate the interface with and the response of the Company Emergency Organization,
4) Test the adequacy, timing and content of the EIPs,
5) Test emergency equipment and communications networks,
6) Test the public Alert and Notification System, 7) Keep affected personnel aware of their role in the plan.

81 Rev. 56 One (1) exercise may be started between 6 p.m. and 4 a.m. once every six (6) years. One (1) exercise may be performed every six (6) years which is unannounced, except as required for effective coordination with the management of the various agencies and for the evaluation of the health and safety of the general public.

b. Both full-scale and small-scale exercises will be conducted and will include participation by appropriate state and local government agencies as follows:
1) Full scale exercises which test as much of the company, state and local emergency plans as is reasonably achievable without mandatory public participation will be conducted at least once every five years and at such greater frequency as necessary to provide for the following:

(a) Enable each state and local government in the plume exposure pathway EPZ to participate in at least one full-scale drill per

year, (b) Enable each state in the ingestion pathway EPZ to participate in at least one full-scale drill every six years.
2) A small scale exercise which tests the adequacy of communication links, establishes that response agencies understand the emergency action levels and tests at least one other component (e.g., medical or offsite monitoring) of the offsite emergency response plans for the company and state and local agencies within the plume exposure pathway EPZ will be conducted each year that a full scale drill is not conducted.
c. For Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) evaluated exercises the NRC will be provided with a description of exercise objectives at

least 75 days prior to the exercise. Participation in the exercise by the NRC shall be at their discretion.

d. The Alabama Emergency Management Agency will provide FEMA with a description of exercise objectives at least 90 days prior to a FEMA evaluated exercise. Participation in the exercise by FEMA shall be at their discretion.
e. Formal critiques shall be provided following each exercise to identify areas of weakness. Corrective action, as appropriate, for company onsite and offsite weaknesses shall be the responsibility of the Vice President-Nuclear Plant Site. Corrective action, as appropriate, for company public information weaknesses shall be the responsibility of the APC Public Relations Senior Vice President and the SNC Vice President and General

Counsel. 2. Drills

E-4 Rev. 49 Emergency Planning Zone The plume exposure pathway EPZ includes the majority of the 10-mile geographic area surrounding FNP. The land within the plume exposure pathway is divided by the Chattahoochee River. The FNP EPZ covers portions of Houston and Henry counties in Alabama, and Early County in Georgia. The EPZ is primarily a rural farming and lumber harvesting area. Transient population in the EPZ is minimal with the exception of recreational users along the Chattahoochee River, and hunters.

NUREG-0654 recommends that the EPZ be subdivided into evacuation areas, for performing the evacuation time estimate analyses (see Table 1).

5 TABLE 1: EVACUATION AR EAS FOR ETE ANALYSIS Radius Area Approximately 2 miles Four 90° sectorsApproximately 5 miles Four 90° sectorsApproximately 10 miles (EPZ)

Four 90° sectorsApproximately 10 miles (EPZ)Entire EPZ The State of Georgia and State of Alabama Radiological Emergency Plans (REPs) define the geographical and political boundaries of the EPZ. Based on the geographic and political boundaries in the EPZ, one 0-2-mile area, four 0-5-mile areas, and four 0-10-mile areas were identified. For evacuation and emergency response planning purposes, these areas have been further divided into 19 protective action zones (PAZs).

6 The zone descriptions were obtained and verified from the FNP's 2007 public outreach calendar 7, county radiological response plans 8, and discussions with SNC and plant representatives. The zones were selected based on existing political boundaries and prominent physical features, either natural (e.g., rivers and lakes) or manmade (e.g., roads), to enhance direction and coordination of the public in the affected area.

Following initial notification, all persons within the EPZ will evacuate. Evacuation of the EPZ will be considered complete after all evacuating vehicles are outside the EPZ. Existing lane utilization patterns will prevail during the course of the evacuation. There will be traffic control points (TCPs) in the network to allow efficient flow of traffic toward the reception centers. Reception centers are modeled as defined in the 2007 public outreach calendar. All households having more than one vehicle will only use one automobile. This is consistent with empirical data, which indicates that family members, when possible, prefer to evacuate as a unit.

9 Non-auto-owning households will evacuate with neighbors, friends, and relatives, or will be evacuated through coordinated efforts by State and county emergency management officials. This is also consistent with the 2007 public outreach calendar. For evacuation modeling purposes, it is assumed that one vehicle will be made available to evacuate each household of this population segment. To model the population evacuation during adverse weather conditions, speed limits are reduced by 40%, and road capacities are reduced by 25%. This is consistent with research that concludes that during adverse weather conditions, drivers may reduce their velocity by nearly 40%, which can result in a 25-30% reduction in capacity

.10 Weather-related capacity reductions of 20-25% are generally used in current evacuation studies for bad weather roadway conditions.

11 Methodology IEM used PTV Vision VISUM, a computer simulation model, to perform the ETEs for the FNP site.12 PTV Vision is the leading software suite for transportation planning and operations analyses used in more than 70 countries. Detailed information on the evacuation time analysis methodology using PTV Vision is provided in Section 0. PTV Vision quality assurance and industry acceptance information is provided in Appendix C

E-8 Rev. 49 Sources of Data The most up-to-date data sources were reviewed and analyzed to prepare appropriate input data for running the traffic simulation and providing the best ETEs. These data sources are explained

below: Population estimates were based on data obtained from Synergos Technologies, contact with individual facilities, and discussions with the SNC emergency planning

staff.13 The peak estimated employment level at the plant reflects office or operations personnel. Roadway geometric data was obtained from PTV. PTV data is based on high-quality, regularly updated, NAVTEQ street network data. NAVTEQ networks are detailed and include neighborhood streets in every communi ty in North America. This data was validated by IEM during a "ground truthing" field trip in November 2007. Roadway and intersection approach capacities were calculated using the concepts and procedures defined in the Highway Capacity Manual.

14 Warning diffusion and mobilization times were based on the data presented in Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies.

15 This data was collected during evacuations executed in response to large-scale chemical spills, and it explicitly incorporates the time required for communication of the warning (warning diffusion) and the time required for an individual to respond to the warning (mobilization). The data collected in this meta-study were based on transient, permanent, and special populations. Vehicle occupancy rates for the different population categories were derived based on average household size and discussions with the counties' and plant's emergency planning staffs.

O., et al., Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies (ORNL-6615). Oak Ridge, TN: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1990.

E-9 Rev. 49 Scenarios Modeled In accordance with NUREG-0654 guidelines, ETEs for each of the evacuation areas (refer to Table 2) have been prepared for several temporal and weather conditions. Based on the discussion with the SNC emergency planning staff, estimates have been prepared for weekday normal and adverse weather conditions, weekni ght normal and adverse weather conditions, and weekend normal and adverse weather conditions.

Normal weather refers to conditions where roads are clear and dry and visibility is not impaired.

Adverse weather refers to rainy or snowy conditions where road capacities are reduced by 25%

and speed limits are reduced by 40%.

Evacuation conditions are modeled for the populations of the year 2010. Table 3 presents the snapshot of the ETE scenarios that were modeled for the study.

TABLE 3: ETE SCENARIOS MODELED Normal Weather Adverse Weather Weekday Weekday Weeknight Weeknight Weekend Weekend The various population components for different scenarios are summarized below: Weekday: This situation represents a typical weekday period when the workforce is at a full daytime level. Assumptions on the population levels for this condition include the following:

  • Permanent residents within the EPZ will evacuate from their places of residence.
  • The plant site employment is at an estimated peak daytime level.
  • Workplaces are fully staffed at daytime levels.
  • Schools are in session.
  • Recreational activities, such as hunting and fishing, are at daytime levels. Weeknight: This situation reflects a typical nighttime period when the workforce is at a nighttime level. Assumptions on the population levels for this condition include the following:
  • Permanent residents within the EPZ will evacuate from their places of residence.
  • The plant site is staffed at an estimated peak nighttime level.
  • Workplaces are at nighttime levels.
  • Schools are closed.
  • There are no recreational (hunting and fishing) activities.

E-10 Rev. 49 Weekend: The weekend situation represents a daytime period when recreational activities are at peak levels. This condition would most likely occur during any weekend day during the hunting season. Assumptions on the population levels for this condition include the following:

  • Permanent residents within the EPZ will evacuate from their places of residence.
  • The plant site is at an estimated peak weekend level.
  • Workplaces are at weekend levels.
  • Schools are closed.
  • Recreational (hunting and fishing) activities are at a peak estimated level. Population and Vehicle Demand Estimation IEM identified three population categories within the EPZ surrounding FNP, as specified in the NUREG-0654 guidelines. These populations include the permanent resident population, the transient population, and the special facility population. The permanent resident population is made up of individuals residing in the 10-mile EPZ. The transient population is composed of individuals working and/or visiting within the EPZ but not living there. For instance, the transient population consists of workers employed within the area, recreational sportsmen, and visitors to the area. Special facility populations may require additional consideration in the event of an evacuation. For the purpose of this study, only special facilities holding populations of more than fifty people are considered under the special facility category. Facilities with less than fifty people are considered under the transient population category.

FNP is located in a rural area of Alabama. There are no concentrated population centers, and there is minimal transient population with in the 10-mile EPZ. There are several types of special facilities within the EPZ, including seven schools and five major employers including the plant itself. The majority of the population consists of permanent residents and workers.

IEM derived the 2010 permanent population estimates from 2007 third-quarter population estimates and the 2012 population forecast obtained from Synergos Technologies, Inc. Local school data was obtained through contact with individual facilities. The recreational visitors' population figures were based on discussions with FNP's emergency planning staff, and staff contact with individual parks. After discussion with the appropriate facilities and the site emergency planning personnel, it was estimated that the 2007 school and recreational user information applies to the year 2010 since no major change in the land use patterns within the EPZ is expected in the next three years. These population estimates formed the basis for determining the evacuee demand used in the analysis for any given evacuation scenario. The populations from these sources were assigned to each applicable zone.

E-11 Rev. 49 Permanent Residents IEM used GIS software to process the geographic data and associated population counts for census blocks in each of the counties surrounding FNP. IEM then aggregated these populations over each zone to generate a permanent resident population count, which comprises the nighttime population.

To calculate population by each zone and radial sector, census block population was aggregated within each of the sectors. Since boundaries of the sectors do not follow census block boundaries, many of the blocks had to be divided into sub-areas based on sector boundaries. To do this, IEM overlaid the census blocks with the zones and 10-mile radius sectors. The blocks were then split into sub-areas and the block population was allocated to sub-areas based on an area ratio method. The populations of the block sub-areas within the sector boundaries were then aggregated for each radius sector.

The area ratio method assigns each sub-area a portion of the block population based on the ratio of the area of each block part to the area of the entire block. For example, if a particular sub-area contains one-fourth the area of the total block area, the sub-area receives one-fourth of the block's total population. Figure 3 illustrates this principle, in which one-fourth of the total area is located in the sub-area, which includes one-fourth of the population. The area ratio method assumes that the population within the block is evenly distributed, a reasonable assumption in most cases.

E-13 Rev. 49 The populations of the block sub-areas within the sector boundaries were then aggregated for each sector. This method was also used in the few instances in which the zone boundaries did not follow block boundaries, making it necessary to split blocks along a particular zone boundary.

Additionally, the permanent resident population is divided into auto-owning and non-auto-owning populations. Auto-Owning Population It was assumed that one vehicle would evacuate from each permanent resident household. This assumption is consistent with the research indicating the tendency of evacuees to evacuate, where possible, as a family unit.16 The population projections and estimates indicate that 92% of the households within the EPZ have at least one vehicle. The data also indicates an average household size of 2.5 persons for the FNP EPZ.

Non-Auto-Owning Population The population projections and estimates indicate that 8% of the households within the EPZ do not own a vehicle. It is assumed that privately-owned vehicles of friends and/or relatives will be available to evacuate this population component. This assumption is used since it provides the most realistic representation of evacuation traffic generated from the non-auto-owning households. For an estimate of the vehicle demand associated with the non-auto-owning population, IEM assumed one vehicle would be made available to evacuate each household. This is based on the previously-stated assumptions that a family would use a vehicle from neighbors, friends, and relatives, or will be evacuated through coordinated efforts by county emergency management officials.

E-19 Rev. 49 Transient Populations The transient population of the FNP EPZ area is derived from employment data and data on recreation populations. The employment data was obtained from Synergos. These populations were combined with other contributors, such as the percentage of the population that is of working age, to daytime population estimations and assigned to population centroids in a manner similar to the permanent resident populations. The daytime populations incorporate employment and workforce information, such as county working-age population and unemployment statistics.

The recreational population shown for the FNP site considers users of parks and waterways, primarily boaters on the Chattahoochee River. Through conversations with FNP's emergency planning staff and with staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Mobile office, IEM estimated there will be approximately 120 hunters/boaters throughout the EPZ on weekdays during the hunting season and approximately 575 hunters/boaters on peak weekends during the hunting season. In addition, there will be approximately 20 picnickers /campers at parks during the weekdays, and 90 picnickers/campers on the weekends.

A vehicle occupancy rate of 1.5 was used to estimate the number of vehicles used by recreational area users, such as hunters and fishermen. Table 6 shows the distribution of the transient population by sector and ring, while Figure 6 presents the same data graphically. Table 7 shows the distribution of the transient population by zone.

E-25 Rev. 49 Special Facility Populations IEM identified several special facilities within the EPZ, consisting of schools and major employers, including Farley Nuclear Plant (Table 8 and Table 9). The special facilities include the

following: Five major employers (including FNP) Seven schools-combination of public and private

E-29 Rev. 49 Different vehicle occupancy rates (VORs) were used for the various categories of population (e.g., one vehicle per household for permanent; 1.5 people per vehicle for recreational area users). All transient populations were assumed to evacuate with a VOR of 1.25. A vehicle occupancy rate of 1.1 was used to estimate the number of vehicles to be evacuated by the FNP onsite population, as was discussed with SNC and plant emergency planning staff. After consultation with SNC emergency planners, students were assumed to evacuate via buses at a rate of 52 students per bus, with the remaining school population departing mostly in their own cars (occupancy rate of 1.25). Table 10 shows the VORs by different population categories used for the evacuation modeling.

outreach calendar. Additional information regarding the evacuation routes was obtained from the past ETE report for the FNP site and the county radiological emergency response plans. The maps and descriptions in both documents were used by IEM as the basis of network verification activity. IEM personnel also met with the FNP emergency response planning staff regarding additional information and clarifications.

The public outreach calendar included a detailed description of the evacuation routes for both the Alabama and Georgia sides within a 10-mile radius. It provided descriptive information on recommended protective actions and the names and locations of reception centers for each zone. The map in the calendar clearly marked the evacuation routes and the direction of evacuation towards the respective reception centers. The reception centers are located well beyond the 10-mile EPZ.

IEM personnel drove along the designated evacuation routes in the direction of an evacuation, and all the way to the reception centers to collect complete and accurate information about the physical state of the roads. Any differences between information indicated in the calendar, NAVTEQ data, and existing field conditions were noted and, where necessary, were incorporated into the analyses. Figure 9 shows the entire evacuation network.

E-33 Rev. 49 Network Definition IEM performed a complete review of the evacuation roadway network. The evacuation network was developed using published evacuation routes and GIS road network data representing roads

available from NAVTEQ 21 and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).

22 The high accuracy NAVTEQ street network GIS data, obtained for the PTV Vision simulation software, was used for field validation purposes and to build the digital evacuation network database. The GDOT data was used to supplement the NAVTEQ data where required. To ensure the accuracy of this data, the entire evacuation network, including those roads outside the 10-mile EPZ leading to the reception centers, was verified by traveling each route in the network in the direction of evacuation and collecting detailed information regarding the properties of each road section using a Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled device. The GPS allowed IEM personnel to locate-with a high degree of precision-any sections that had changed in channelization, curvature, speed limits, or other necessary network information.

The specific network attributes that were collected during the field trip included number of lanes, speed, turns, traffic controls, pavement type and wi dth, shoulder width, and any other information required to model the traffic capacity of each link in the network.

Evacuation Route Descriptions The evacuation network modeled for the ETE analyses covers Henry and Houston counties in Alabama, and Early County in Georgia. The evacuation routes were originally developed by the Alabama and Georgia Emergency Management Agencies and county emergency officials. The evacuation route network is composed of three kinds of roads: highways, major arterial (roads connecting to highways), and minor arterial or connector roads (residential roads connecting to major arterial roads).

An example of a highway in the EPZ is United States Highway 84 (US-84). Examples of major arterials are Alabama State Road 95 (AL-95), Alabama State Road 52 (AL-52), Georgia State

Road 62 (SR-62), and Georgia State Road 370 (SR-370). An example of a connector road is Bill Yance Road in Alabama. The connector roads, although not part of the evacuation routes described in the calendar, actually load the evacuee population onto the evacuation routes. The following items are descriptions of each evacuation route as mentioned in the calendar (see also Figure 10 and Figure 11).

Online: http://www.dot.state.ga.us. GDOT road network data was downloaded from the Georgia GIS Clearinghouse Web site: https://gis1.state.ga.us/index.asp. No such information was readily available on the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) website.

E-36 Rev. 49 Reception Center/Shelter for Alabama Residents: Houston County Farm Center: Go west on US-84 or AL-52 to Ross Clark Circle in Dothan. Then go south on Ross Clark Circle to Houston County Farm Center located at the intersection of Ross Clark Circle and Cottonwood Road (AL-53). Reception Center/Shelter for Georgia Residents: Early County High School gymnasium in Blakely, GA: Go east to SR-39. Then go north to Blakely or take SR-62 into Blakely.

Each evacuation route leads to one of two designated reception centers. Table 11 lists the designated reception centers and their physical addresses. Figure 9 shows the reception centers graphically.

TABLE 11: RECEPTION CENTERS Reception Center Address Houston County Farm Center1701 E Cottonwood Road Dothan, AL 36301 Early County High School 12020 Columbia Street Blakely, GA 39823 Evacuation Network Characteristics The evacuation network, as modeled using the NAVTEQ street network data, contains 1,077 links in the direction of evacuation and includes the connector roads.23 The total length of the network, again in the direction of evacuation and all the way to the reception centers, is about 454 miles. Detailed information regarding the roads that make up the evacuation network is provided in Appendix B.

The highways generally have a posted speed limit of 50-65 mph. The major and minor arterial or connector roads generally have a posted speed limit of 35-45 mph. On some of the roads, especially the highways, the posted speed limit decreases to 25 mph near city limit boundaries. Unpaved roads or dirt roads do not have posted speed limits, so a speed limit of 20-25 mph was

assumed for modeling purposes based on comfortable and safe driving speeds achieved by IEM personnel on these roads during field verification. Most of the links in the evacuation network (including some highways) generally have one lane available in the direction of evacuation. There are no interstates within the 10-mile EPZ. Two roads in the EPZ have network links with two lanes in the direction of evacuation- US-84 west towards Ross Clark Circle in Dothan, Alabama, and US-84 east toward Jakin, Georgia. AL-52 and GA SR-62 also have two lanes in the direction of evacuation along some sections (due to the presence of passing lanes). US-84 has three lanes available in the direction of evacuation as it approaches Ross Clark Circle in Dothan..

23 A link is defined as a road section where its characteristics (e.g., speed limit, number of lanes) are constant. An intersection starts a new link or ends a link.

E-37 Rev. 49 Traffic control along the evacuation routes is mostly managed using stop signs. In Alabama, traffic lights were found along AL-95 (approaching center of Columbia), along AL-52 (approaching Dothan), along Ross Clark Circle (in Dothan), at the intersection of Broadway and Old US-84 (in Ashford), and along US-84 (approaching Dothan). In Georgia, a traffic light was found at the intersection of Church Street and Columbia Road in Blakely. Evacuation Time Estimate Methodology

ETEs are developed using VISUM, one of the core components of the PTV Vision software suite.

VISUM is used to estimate evacuation times for different scenarios (e.g., day vs. night or normal vs. adverse weather) for user-defined spatial networks. Information provided by PTV Vision includes evacuation or clearance times, operational characteristics (e.g., average evacuation speed, average distance traveled), points of congestion, and other data necessary to evaluate evacuation plans.

The evacuation network was defined based on the information provided in 2007 public outreach calendar. IEM Subject Matter Experts drove the designated routes to ensure complete and accurate information about the state of the roads and to evaluate the appropriate selection of routes given the current conditions onsite.

Population (number of cars) loaded onto the network is based on the data and methods described above in the Section 0. Loading times for the evacuation network are described below.

Additional details about the methodology are included in the following sections. Assumptions Key assumptions that have a substantial impact on the results of the analysis are detailed in the following sections. Any assumptions associated with the development of population estimates are included in Section 0. Loading of the Evacuation Network The timing of network loading24 is derived from data presented in Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies.25 This data was collected during evacuations executed in response to large-scale chemical spills and explicitly incorporates the time required for communication of the warning (warning diffusion) and the time required for an individual to respond to the warning (mobilization). The data collected in this meta-study was based on transient, permanent, and special populations and is therefore appropriate to use as "general" warning diffusion and public mobilization curves for all three population types.

The underlying assumption regarding the applicability of Rogers' mobilization curves in the ETE study is that public perception of radiological emergencies differs from the actual characteristic of such an event. The familiarity of the hazard and the social assessment of the risks associated with the hazards are among the underlying forces that guide the decision-making process in an evacuation scenario. People are more likely to respond to calls for evacuation when the assessment of threat in the community is high and dangers to life and property are recognized.

The reality may be different. The alarm associated with social response in a radiological emergency makes the use of Rogers' mobilization curves prudent for the ETE study.

24 Loading is defined as the appearance of evacuating vehicles on the roads. 25 Rogers, G. O., et al., Evaluating Protective Actions for Chemical Agent Emergencies (ORNL-6615), Oak Ridge, TN: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1990.

E-38 Rev. 49 It should also be noted that these curves were developed from the empirical data collected from real-life evacuations in response to actual events. No similar study developed specifically for radiological events is readily available. Therefore, the widely accepted Rogers' mobilization

curves were used for this study. The implications of assuming public behavior in absence of real data are unknown. Actual data taken from a somewhat similar real-life scenario and similar public response is more applicable than some manufactured assumptions about how people will

behave.

The specific timing used for warning diffusion is detailed in Figure 12. Since the distribution of times depends on the warning system employed, the alert and notification systems (ANS) around the site were evaluated based on the description in the emergency plans. The warning diffusion time distribution was chosen based on the availability of sirens, tone alert radios (TARs), and the emergency alert system (EAS) in the EPZ. It was also assumed that in boating and recreational areas, local emergency officials will sound sirens and/or use loud speakers to warn visitors. Any deviations from this assumption will impact the evacuation times. For example, any loss of the capability of the ANS components will potentially increase the evacuation times. For example, Figure 12 shows that if only EAS is used, the evacuation times will be longer since it takes comparatively more time for warning to diffuse.

The mobilization curve (Figure 13) is combined with the warning diffusion curve to form a composite loading curve that reflects the actual time distribution of cars loaded on the network.

It is important to note that the starting point for this curve is the time at which public notification begins-not the start time of a hypothetical event.

E-41 Rev. 49 Evacuation Simulation Evacuations were simulated using the population and vehicle demand data, evacuation network data, and loading distribution data discussed in the previous sections. VISUM was used to simulate evacuations. Figure 14 describes the framework of the analysis and three of its main features: the demand model, the network model, and the impact model.

FIGURE 14: ETES ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK USING VISUM The Demand Model The demand model contains the travel demand data. The total number of vehicles originating from a zone is calculated by dividing a population with its expected vehicle occupancy rate. The total number of vehicles originating from a zone is then distributed to different time intervals based on the loading distribution curve for the zone. The loading distribution curve for the zone depends on the warning system available for that zone. The travel demand is described by an origin-destination (OD) matrix. The OD matrix refers to a time interval and the total number of vehicles departing in that time interval.

The Network Model The network model describes the relevant suppl y data of an evacuation network. The supply data consists of traffic zones, nodes, links, speed limits, and capacities. Traffic zones describe areas with particular boundaries based on demography, topography, land characteristics, access routes, and local jurisdictions. They represent the origin and destination of trips within the evacuation network. Nodes define positions of intersections in the evacuation network. Links connect nodes and, therefore, describe the road infrastructure. Every network object is described by its attributes (e.g., speed limits and capacities for the links). The travel time of a vehicle on a given link depends on the speed permitted on and the capacity of-the traffic volume that a road can handle before the formation of a jam-the link. The capacity calculations in the analysis are based on the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual.28 The Impact Model The impact model takes its input data from the demand model and the network model. PTV Vision provides different impact models to anal yze and evaluate the evacuation network. A user model simulates the behavior of travelers. It calculates traffic volumes and service indicators, such as travel time. VISUM traffic assignment procedure chosen for this analysis simulates movement of vehicles on the network as time passes in the evacuation, and outputs volumes for each link at each time after analyzing the queuing behavior. This time-dynamic functionality allows for loading of the network via distributions, as when using a range of mobilization times.

The ETE is measured by noting when the last car passes the boundary of the EPZ. VISUM displays the calculated results in graphic and tabular forms and allows graphical analysis of results. In this way, for example, routes per OD pair, traffic flow, and isochrones can be displayed

and analyzed.

E-42 Rev. 49 Analysis of Evacuation Times Evacuation times were estimated in order to give emergency planners in the area an approximate time required for evacuation of various parts of the footprint. The estimates were derived by using population (demand) data to determine the number of vehicles and then modeling the travel of the vehicles along the evacuation routes from their origin to their assigned reception center.

The evacuation time estimates are composed of two components. The first is loading time, which is the time required for residents within the area to prepare and then begin their evacuation. The second is travel time, which is the time between the residents' departure and when they cross the EPZ boundary. Loading time depends, in part, on how long it takes residents to receive the warning, and is thus dependent on the warning systems in their area.

As a part of the analysis, zones in the study area were grouped into scenarios to represent the different areas that might need to be evacuated during an incident. So that planners could more effectively order evacuations, scenarios were based on zones and potential wind direction. These scenarios are discussed in more detail in Section 0.

Each zone had been assigned a set of evacuation routes by State and local EMA planners, and these route restrictions were reflected in the modeling of the scenarios. These guidelines generally route evacuees based on the county where these are located at the time of the

incident.

The evacuation routes are described in more detail in Section 0. Summary of ETE Results The evacuation time estimate results are displayed in Table 12. Evacuation times listed include warning diffusion, public mobilization, and travel time out of the EPZ. It is important to note that the evacuation time is the time from the moment at which public notification begins-not the start time of a hypothetical event.

29 Note: The scenarios are each considered individually; if combinations of the geographic evacuation areas are to be evacuated together, the larger of the two numbers should be used as the evacuation time. For example, if zones E-5, F-5, J-5, and K-5 (combination of 5-mile NW and 5-mile SE scenarios) were to be evacuated on a normal 2010 weekday, the ETE would be the greater of the two ETEs or 155 minutes.

E-44 Rev. 49 Discussion of Scenario Results General Trends The ETEs in both normal and adverse weather are driven more by the warning system and available speeds rather than the roadway capacities because vehicular demand is low compared to available roadway capacities. Adverse weather conditions increase ETEs by approximately 5 to 20 minutes, due primarily to reduced travelling speeds, and to a lesser degree, to reduced roadway capacities. For each evacuation area except for the two-mile radius, the weekend scenario produced the highest evacuation times. This is due to the increased amount of recreational transients in the area (hunters and boaters and park visitors) on the weekend. This population has a higher warning and diffusion time than other populations-up to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> 5 minutes, compared to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 30 minutes for EAS and sirens, and 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 5 minutes for EAS and TARs.

Evacuation Area 1: 0-2 Miles The majority of the population within the two-mile radius, Zone A, consists of Plant Farley employees. This population will evacuate to the Houston/Henry County Evacuation Center in Alabama, primarily using Pleasant Grove Road to US-84.There is also a small amount of permanent population, transient employees, and recreational hunters in the area. These populations will primarily use SR 370 to SR 62 to exit the EPZ for the Early County reception center in Georgia, and US-84 to exit the EPZ to Houston and Henry counties in Alabama. The evacuation times range from 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 15 minutes to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 30 minutes. The highest evacuation times are for the Weekday Scenario, when the Plant population is at its peak. No significant congestion occurs in this scenario.

Evacuation Area 5: 0-5 Miles SE This evacuation area includes all population in the two-mile radius (Zone A), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zones J-5 and K-5. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, hunters, and special facility workers. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use Pleasant Grove Road to US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 273, State Route 370, Cedar Springs Highway, and State Route 62 to exit the EPZ.

Evacuation Area 6: 0-5 Miles This area includes the entire five-mile EPZ, consisting of zones A, B-5, C-5, D-5, E-5, F-5, I-5, J-5 and K-5.The evacuation times for the entire 5-mile EPZ are similar to the maximum evacuation times by sector for each scenario. The evacuation routes for the entire 5-mile radius were similar to those for each sector. The evacuation times ranged from 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 35 minutes to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> 10 minutes. For each scenario (Weekday, Weeknight, and Weekend), the evacuation times for the overall five-mile EPZ were 0-5 minutes higher than the highest time for each sector. This indicates that there will not be excess congestion from adjacent sectors evacuating together.

This population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational park visitors, and hunters. This area also includes three special facilities: a day care center, Houston County High School, and Webb Elementary School. The population evacuating

this area will primarily use Alabama Highway 52 and US-84 to leave the 10-mile EPZ. The small population that will evacuate to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 370 to State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 35 minutes to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> 5 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario.

Evacuation Area 9: 0-10 Miles NE This evacuation area includes all population in the five-mile NE radius (Zones A and I-5), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zones G-10, H-10 and I-

10. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, recreational park visitors, hunters, special facility workers, and Camp E-Tu-Nake school. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception center will primarily use State Route 62 to exit the EPZ. The evacuation times range from 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> 55 minutes to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 50 minutes and are highest for the Weekend Scenario.

These times are driven by warning and diffusion times and are not influenced by significant congestion.

E-47 Rev. 49 Evacuation Area 10: 0-10 Miles SE This evacuation area includes all population in the five-mile SE radius (Zones A, J-5 and K-5), and additional population in Early County east of the Chattahoochee River in Zones J-10 and K-

10. The population includes permanent residents, transient employees, Plant Farley employees, recreational visitors to the Chattahoochee River, recreational park visitors, hunters, and special facility workers. The population evacuating to the Houston/Henry County reception center will primarily use US-84 to exit the EPZ. The population evacuating to the Early County reception center will primarily use Cedar Springs Highway , State Route 39, Ades Springs Road and State Route 62 to exit the EPZ.

Evacuation Area 11: 0-10 Miles The evacuation time of the entire 10-mile EPZ was similar to the evacuations of the separate 10-mile 90° areas. For all scenarios, the 10-mile radius evacuation times were 0-20 minutes longer than the highest individual sector times. These times show that as traffic from each 90° area merges, congestion in the network will not significantly contribute to increased evacuation time.

Some routes such as Ross Clark Circle, US-84 and Alabama Highway 52 (leading to Houston/Henry County reception center), and State Route 62 leading to Early County reception center may experience some congestion as the volumes reach levels that are near the capacity of the road.

E-48 Rev. 49 Supplemental Analysis The analyses related to confirmation of evacuation and potential mitigating measures to effectively manage the traffic flow were performed and are provided in the following sections.

Confirmation of Evacuation Confirmation of the evacuation process determines whether the evacuation has been completed. The time required for confirmation of evacuation is dependent upon the method employed. The

most time-consuming method typically employed is to use ground vehicles. The time required involves the driving time for each route selected.

Informing people to leave some standard signs on their doors or windows, such as tying a white cloth to the front doorknob of the house or to the mailbox (as mentioned in the public outreach calendar), when they leave their houses would help the authorities in the confirmation of evacuation. Presence of TCPs and Access Control Points (ACPs) at strategic locations within the evacuation network could provide real-time feedback regarding the progress of the evacuation process. All evacuees are recommended to register at the designated county reception centers as they arrive. This procedure helps the authorities to account for the population within the designated county. This can be accounted as one of the means of confirmation of evacuation only under the assumption that all the evacuees would actually report to the reception centers and nowhere else. Telephoning people at their homes could also be considered as a possible means of ensuring completion of evacuation.

As noted in the county radiological emergency response plans, evacuation confirmation will be accomplished by the county Sheriff's Department and supporting law enforcement agency personnel, who will traverse roadways throughout the affected area to ensure that the residential population has evacuated their homes. Personnel from the State Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Section and the county Emergency Management Agency will ensure that hunters and fishermen within the 10-mile EPZ are evacuated. Additional assistance is available from other State agencies. Officials from the plant will advise the county EOCs when evacuation is confirmed at the plant site.

The actual time associated with the confirmation process would depend on both the number of personnel and the amount of equipment available. These resources may change significantly under various emergency conditions. Evacuation Traffic Management Locations and Other Potential Mitigating Measures In order to efficiently promote smooth movement of traffic flow during an evacuation, several TCPs have been identified by the plant and county emergency response planning personnel. These TCPs are listed in Table 13 and shown graphically in Figure 15. The responsibility of supervising traffic controls during an evacuation will be shared between State and county emergency management and law enforcement pers onnel, as available. Each TCP will be manned and/or road blocks will be established to direct evacuees out of the EPZ and to deny access into the affected area. Also, route markers will be placed along the evacuation routes at critical intersections and road block locations to promote more efficient traffic flow out from the

EPZ.

E-53 Rev. 49 Conclusion and Recommendations The ETEs developed for 11 evacuation areas within the 10-mile FNP EPZ measured the time from the public notification to when the last evacuating vehicle exited the EPZ boundary.

ETEs for the evacuation areas ranged from 75 minutes to 185 minutes for the normal scenarios, and from 85 minutes to 200 minutes for those occurring in adverse weather. Variations in ETEs between scenarios generally correlated to differences in the number of evacuating vehicles, the capacity of the evacuation routes, the roadway conditions, or the distance from the origin zones to the EPZ boundary. The weekend scenario produced the highest evacuation times due to the longer mobilization time for the higher number of recreational transients in the area (hunters and boaters) on the weekend.

The analysis shows that the capacity of the roadway network within the EPZ is adequate to accommodate the population for all scenarios. Based on the data gathered and the results of the evacuation study conducted, IEM believes that the existing evacuation strategy is functional for the year 2010 conditions, given the lack of severe congestion or very high ETEs.

EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY

G-i Rev. 41

G-1 Rev. 41 A. INTRODUCTION A.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this appendix is to outline the function of the Emergency Operations Facility for the Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC).

Additionally, this appendix delineates the actions to be taken by SNC Corporate Staff in the event of an emergency at any (SNC) site.

A.2 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY This appendix provides the framework for operations of the EOF for SNC. This appendix is an integral part of the site specific emergency plan(s).

This appendix may be implemented to coordinate a SNC response to an emergency at any SNC facility or in response to a transportation accident involving

radioactive material.

Additionally, this appendix provides the mechanism for obtaining and providing additional emergency response support and resources to SNC site(s) in the event of an emergency.

The SNC Corporate Staff will be responsible for offsite emergency response support and resources as requested. Overall management of the emergency will be accomplished at the specific site(s)[Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) and Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP)].

A.3

SUMMARY

The site specific Emergency Plan, is activated by the Emergency Director (ED). Upon notification of an ALERT or higher classification or as directed by the ED, the EOF will be activated as described in emergency implementing procedures. When notified, the designated corporate emergency organization management report to the EOF to be briefed on current conditions and perform their assigned tasks.

Each manager's support staff will operate from that group's office area. Offsite support personnel and equipment will be dispatched to the site Operations Support Center (OSC) or Technical Support Center (TSC)upon request from the specific site Emergency Director. The corporate emergency organization will provide offsite emergency response support and resources to SNC sites 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day

until the emergency has been terminated.

The EOF will be activated for an ALERT, SITE AREA or GENERAL emergency classification. This facility will be operational within about an hour of the initial notification. SNC's goal is to begin notification of all required on-call Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel as soon as practicable, within 15 minutes, following the declaration of an Alert emergency or higher emergency classification at any SNC site. Minimum EOF staff for facility activation will include the EOF Manager, the Dose Assessment Supervisor, the Dose Analyst, the Field Team Coordinator, the ENN Communicator, and the Licensing Support

Coordinator.

Access control for the EOF is established through the use of electronic card readers.

G-2 Rev. 41 During the emergency, the emergency director will normally be located in either the TSC or Control Room at his/her option. The emergency director is responsible for the management of the emergency response. Specific duties and responsibilities are provided in the site specific Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

SNC has taken precautions to ensure that the EOF can be quickly accessed and made operational within about an hour of the initial notification and is safe-guarded against unauthorized personnel. The common EOF is located in a secure building. The building itself has posted security guards and video surveillance cameras. Any outside doors that do not have security guards are accessible only by SNC ID badges. Additionally, the EOF facility door is accessible only to people with ID badges that have been pre-approved for access. If an event were to occur during off-normal hours, a guard will be posted at the main entrance to Building 40 to allow access to offsite agency or other responders without pre-designated ID access.

B. EOF ORGANIZATION

The EOF Organization consists of selected management and staff members located in the SNC Corporate Office. This organization is responsible for providing offsite emergency response support and resources, as needed. The EOF Organization is displayed in Figure 1 and typical duty assignments are shown on Table 1. This organization may be supplemented or reduced by the EOF Manager, as required, to respond to the specific emergency situation but will not be reduced to below the minimum staff as specified in A.3 above.

SNC normally maintains ERO positions in a duty rotation. Several positions have been designated as plant specific and, as such, have personnel designated for each of the 3 sites. Specifically each of the following EOF positions has site-specific personnel designated: EOF Manager

G-3 Rev.49 EOF Technical Supervisor In order to augment additional staff that may be needed in the unlikely event of a multi-site accident, SNC will re-activate its ERO notification system. When the EOF is activated, all EOF staff pagers are activated, and all EOF personnel are expected to report to the EOF. Personnel that are not needed to augment positions are briefed and dismissed with a stand-by status.

B.1 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY (EOF) MANAGER The EOF Manager manages the following activities:

  • Overall direction and control of the offsite response for SNC
  • Communication of radiological information to State and local emergency response agencies as needed

Notification of personnel may be accomplished through the use of an automated or manual system.

C.2 NOTIFICATION OF OFFSITE SUPPORT AGENCIES Offsite support agencies will be notified by the appropriate emergency organization member(s), as requested by VEGP, FNP, and HNP.

G-11 Rev. 41 D. EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Following the declaration of an emergency, response activity will be coordinated at a number of facilities. These emergency response facilities are described in the site specific emergency plans. The EOF is a common facility for all SNC sites and is described in this section.

D.1 EOF DESCRIPTION The EOF is the central location for management of the offsite emergency response, coordination of radiological assessment, and management of initial recovery operations. The EOF is located in Birmingham, Alabama and serves as the EOF for all SNC sites (VEGP, FNP, and HNP). The EOF will be activated as prescribed in the site specific Emergency Plan implementing procedures. From the EOF, SNC corporate management personnel assist the states and other governmental bodies by communicating protective action recommendations approved by the Emergency Director to ensure public health and safety. Plant systems information, radiological data, and meteorological data are provided via the SNC Integrated Data Display System to EOF personnel as needed to: assess environmental conditions, coordinate radiological monitoring activities, and recommend implementation of offsite emergency plans. Data displays provide periodic and timely conditions of the affected plant and periodic and timely assessment of radiological conditions in the plant environs.

The SNC integrated data display system utilizes data provided by the plant specific data links. These station data links are described in each site specific plan. These displays may be either manual or electronic. Data displays are located in the main caucus area of the EOF, dose assessment area, plant status area, and engineering area within the facility. Other displays may be located in the command center area. Data is also available to all state agencies responding to the EOF. Data is available both in the main caucus area and the area designated for the particular state agency. Similarly, this data is available to state and local authorities via a secure network dedicated to data distribution among the various offsite emergency response facilities. The data display system provides the user with a "master view" for the monitoring of multiple site events simultaneously. Data required to support EOF operations is provided by an extensive ring bus transport network. Data may also be obtained manually via telephone from the Control Room and the TSC to the EOF.

G-12 Rev. 41 Contained within the facility will be the manpower and equipment necessary to provide dedicated direct communication links to the plant site(s). In addition, there are commercial and company wide phone systems to and from the site(s). A communication link will be established and maintained between the Emergency Operations Facility and the Technical Support Center (TSC) until the emergency director determines that the communication link is no longer needed.

Other communications equipment accessible to the EOF includes Nuclear Network (an intra-industry computer-based information exchange network),

telecopiers, and computer workstations designated for emergency use. Computer workstations are dedicated for performing dose assessment for multiple sites.

The EOF is the distribution center for all field data and sample analyses. This information will be available to county, State, and Federal representatives. The EOF is sized to accommodate 35 persons, including 25 pre-designated persons, 9 persons from the NRC, and 1 person from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Provisions have also been made for the relocation of NRC staff (including NRC communications capabilities) from the EOF to a near-site location, if requested. It is anticipated that representatives from the state(s) of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida will be dispatched to the EOF for an event at specific SNC site(s). The EOF has been designed to accommodate these representatives. Agreements exist between the appropriate State agencies and SNC to ensure rapid response of state personnel dispatched to the EOF. Table 4 provides additional information concerning EOF communications capabilities.

Upon activation of the EOF, Corporate personnel will provide staffing 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day until directed otherwise by the Emergency Director.

The emergency director, located at the affected site(s), is responsible for the management of the emergency response. Specific duties and responsibilities are provided in the site specific Emergency.

The EOF consists of several rooms, as shown, together with the location of key personnel, in Figure 2. The EOF is a dedicated facility. The designated emergency planning coordinator for each of the three sites maintains an office within the EOF to ensure readiness and daily operability.

Based on the physical location of the EOF, specialized ventilation systems are not required. The EOF ventilation system is consistent in design with G-13 Rev. 41 standard building codes. Similarly, EOF functions would not be interrupted by radiation releases from any SNC site.

Normal power to the EOF is from a reliable offsite source. Emergency lighting is provided by battery operated lights. Back-up power for the EOF is supplied by onsite diesel generation. All essential equipment is backed up by the diesel generation system.

The EOF is located adjacent to the document management section for SNC.

The following records or information are available:

  • Technical Specifications.
  • Selected plant operating procedures.
  • State and local emergency response plans.

The following records or information can be transmitted to the EOF manually, electronically or by facsimile:

  • Environs radiological monitoring records.
  • SNC employee radiation exposure histories.
  • System piping and instrumentation diagrams and HVAC flow diagrams.
  • Piping area diagrams.
  • Electrical one-line, elementary, and wiring diagrams. The above records or information are available in current form and updated as necessary to ensure currency and completeness. Operations at this facility are directed by the EOF manager.

D.2 Contingency Planning Optimum functionality and availability was considered in the decision to locate the EOF in Birmingham, Alabama. At this location, functionality of the EOF would be uninterrupted by radiation releases, natural phenomena, and security based events at any of the SNC sites. Support operations and coordination with Federal, State and local organizations would continue. If personnel were to be dispatched to the sites, then personal protection equipment would be available

from G-14 Rev. 44 the local emergency management agency or from one of the unaffected SNC plant sites.

In the unlikely event that individuals should need to respond to the EOF from within the 10 mile EPZ of any SNC plant, they would be surveyed prior to release by local emergency authorities at the reception centers in accordance with State and Local emergency response plans.

In the unlikely event that the EOF becomes uninhabitable, resources and personnel will be transferred to the Corporate Headquarters of Alabama Power Company, located in Birmingham, Alabama. These actions will be taken as part of the normal business continuity plan.

E. COORDINATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES The site specific Emergency Plan(s) delineate the governmental agencies to be notified and specifies the information to be initially conveyed. It is anticipated that representatives of various agencies will be dispatched to the EOF for an event at an SNC facility. Arrangements have been made between the appropriate State agencies and SNC to ensure rapid response of state personnel dispatched to the EOF.

E.1 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Coordination with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) may be underway at several locations simultaneously. For details of the NRC response, see the NRC Incident Response Plan NUREG 0728.

Initial notification of the NRC will proceed as specified in the site specific Emergency Plan. The resident NRC inspector(s) and plant personnel have direct communications from the site control room to the NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. and to the regional headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

The resident inspector(s) may be reinforced by additional NRC personnel shortly after notification of an emergency. The Emergency Director is responsible for coordinating NRC activities to reduce duplication of effort and reduce impact on the plant staff during the emergency situation.

Provisions have been made to have direct NRC FTS lines in the TSC and the EOF during an emergency. This will allow personnel in the control room to continue responding to the emergency while personnel in the TSC or EOF respond to questions and input from the NRC.

G-15 Rev. 41 NRC activities requiring response from the licensee will be coordinated by the EOF Technical Coordinator through the EOF manager.

E.2 STATE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES The government notifications are outlined in the site specific Emergency Plan(s).

Coordination of offsite responses to the emergency is the responsibility of State agencies as outlined in the State Radiological Emergency Response Plans.

E.3 LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES Notification of local government officials is outlined in the site specific Emergency Plan(s). Coordination with local government agencies will normally be through the responsible State agency.

E.4 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Notification of DOE officials is outlined in the site specific Emergency Plan.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PLANNING EFFORT

I-2 Rev. 56 The Fleet Emergency Preparedness Manager performs a review of the emergency plans for Southern Nuclear once each calendar year. The review includes a comparison for consistency of a ll emergency plans for the specific sites including the Security Plan, State, Count y, and the Savannah River Site plan, as appropriate.

The Emergency plans and EIPs are revised in accordance with applicable site procedures.

Emergency Plan changes which are judged to reduce the effectiveness of the Plan will be submitted to the NRC for approval prior to implementation. The

Emergency Planning Coordinator will review Emergency Plan changes to determine if the effectiveness of the site specific plan has been reduced prior to submitting the proposed change for departmental review and subsequently to the

PRB for approval.

As required by 10CFR50.54(t). An annual independent audit of the emergency preparedness program is conducted by the SNC Nuclear Oversight Department.

This audit is conducted as part of the standard audit program and will include a review of the Emergency Plan, its im plementing procedures and practices, emergency preparedness training, annual exercises, equipment, and emergency response facilities. In addition, an audit of the interfaces with offsite agencies is performed by the Corporate SNC Nuclear Oversight department.

Each audit is nominally conducted every 12 months.

Audits are performed in accordance with SNC Nuclear Oversight department procedures. Audit reports are written and distributed to management and, in addition, applicable portions of the corpor ate audit reports are made available to affected Federal, State, and local agenci es, as appropriate, in accordance with 10CFR50.54(t).

Appropriate departments are responsible for implem enting corrective actions resulting from the audit findings. Records of these audits and exercise findings are maintained in accordance w ith plant procedures.

In addition to this Plan, several other formal emergency plans have been developed to support the overall emergency response effort. These supporting plans and their sources are listed in procedure NM P-EP-300, SNC Corporate Emergency Preparedness, Conduc t of Operations.
