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. 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.

Introduction:

SNC has overall responsibility for maintaining a state of readiness to implement this Plan for the protection of plant personnel, the general public, and property from hazards associated with any facility operated by the company, The authority for planning, developing, and coordinating emergency control measures is derived from being the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license holder for the nuclear power plants operated by SNO.The SNC Emergency Plan describes the organization and facilities, training, and maintenance of both onsite and off-site facilities and equipment, that will be used to address a wide spectrum of accidents ranging from minor onsite incidents to those that could affect the general public.There are three phases of responsive action described in the SNC Emergency Plan. The first phase includes initial actions to protect personnel and eliminate the potential for further exposure to the hazard. The second phase includes immediate and planned action to terminate the condition, contain any effluent, establish incident boundaries, establish control, channel information, and protect the facility and equipment.

The third phase is to restore the facility to its normal operating condition.

To respond effectively using these phases, emergencies are classified according to increasing severity:

Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency.

PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND INFORMATION

1. Notification
a. Primary Southern Nuclear Operating Company has provided the administrative and physical means for alerting and providing prompt instructions to the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ by providing an Alert and Notification System (ANS) for the entire plume exposure pathway EPZ. Primary alerting is accomplished by use of a siren system. The siren alerting system consists of 89 pole mounted sirens. Each siren operates on battery power with battery charge maintained through an inverter that receives power from the local electrical grid or from a solar panel.Each siren site contains two radios -one for the primary radio signal frequency operating in the UHF band and one for the backup radio frequency operating in the VHF band. Repeaters for the primary and backup radio frequencies are provided on two separate radio towers with associated power, control, and radio communication provided.

Siren system activation, test, and monitoring panels are provided at each for the counties of Houston and Henry County, Alabama; one for Early County, Georgia; and one for the State of SGeorgia.EP E.2.5: Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ is the obligation of state and local government or other responsible authority.

Following activation of the siren system, emergency notifications will be made to the public within the 10 mile plume exposure pathway EPZ by activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). State and local Emergency Management Agencies will initiate activation of the local EAS stations through a dedicated EAS activation console. The EAS activation console provides a connection to designated EAS stations that allows for activation of the station through redundant communications pathways.Emergency messages are transmitted from the EAS activation console via phone line, internet, or satellite connections.

Activation of the station does not require that the station be manned. Emergency messages are coordinated between the local Emergency Management Agencies and the State Emergency Management Agencies prior to activation of the local radio stations, as specified in the local area plans.

a. Periodic Emergiencv Drills 1 ) During each exercise cycle, periodic drills will be conducted to ensure the ERO teams (not necessarily each individual) are provided the opportunity to develop and maintain key emergency response skills within the scope of their duties. The ERO (not necessarily each ERO team) will be provided the opportunity to demonstrate key skills in response to the following scenario elements in drills or exercises.
  • All functions in each ERF (e.g., all ERFs that are responsible for dose assessment perform those duties in response to a radiological release).* Use of alternative facilities to stage the ERO for rapid activation during hostile action.* Real-time staffing of facilities during off-hours (i.e., 6:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.).* Providing medical care for injured, contaminated personnel (every 2 years).* Response to essentially 100 percent of initiating conditions identified in the site emergency plan implementing procedure for classification of emergencies.
  • Response to actual industry event sequences appropriate for the nuclear plant technology (e.g., PWR).* Use of procedures developed in response to an aircraft threat and in compliance with 10 CFR 50.54 (hh)(1).* Use of the strategies associated with 10 CFR 50.54 (hh)(2) to mitigate spent fuel pool damage scenarios (all strategies, such as makeup, spray, and leakage control, but not every variation of a given strategy).
  • Use of the strategies associated with 10 CFR 50.54 (hh)(2) to mitigate reactor accidents and maintain containment.

EP N.3 During the exercise planning cycle described in Section N.1 .4, SNC sites vary the content of exercise scenarios to provide ERO members the opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in key skills necessary to respond to several specific scenario elements including:

  • Hostile Action directed at the plant site.* No radiological release, or unplanned release that does not require public protective actions.* An initial classification of, or rapid escalation to, a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.
  • implementation of strategies, procedures, and guidance developed in 50.54(hh) (i.e., potential aircraft threat, explosion or large fire).* Integration of offsite resources with onsite response.* A drill initiated between the hours of 6 p.m. and 4 a.m.* Drills using essentially 100 percent of Initiating Conditions in the 8-year cycle Drills and exercise scenarios will be varied from year to year to test major components of the plans and preparedness organizations.

A record of Exercises conducted during the 8-year exercise planning cycle that documents the contents of scenarios used during that cycle shall be maintained in accordance with Drill and Exercise procedure guidance..

This proposed change to the ERO will result in an SNC Fleet standard definition of ERO augmentation time as well as an SNC Fleet standard complement of emergency response positions, titles, duties, and responsibilities.

EP Functions Impacted by the Proposed Change The proposed change impacts the ERO as outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b) Planning Standards 1 and 2. This change addresses the following Planning Standard Functions:

  • 10 CFR 50.47(b) (1): The response organization has the staff to respond and augment on a continuing basis (24/7 staffing) in accordance with the Emergency Plan.* 10 CFR 50.47(b) (2): Process for timely augmentation of on-shift staff is established and maintained.

The proposed change has been reviewed and continues to perform the functions required of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the related requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Activation HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan Revision 36.0 requires staffing of the augmented ERO at the Alert or higher classification

". ..ASAP, but not later than approximately 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> following the initial notification." It also states, "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." The proposed SNO Fleet standard definition for ERO augmentation is 75 minutes from declaration.

This proposed change redefines the SNC Fleet augmentation time without extension, since the 15-minute notification period will be incorporated in the overall definition of augmentation time. The proposed SNC Fleet definition also removes ambiguous wording such as "about" and "approximately" in order to clearly define the augmentation requirement.

Assignment of Responsibility/Organizational Control The HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan maintains an on-shift organization as documented in the site Emergency Plan Revision 36.0. This Plan identifies the authority and responsibilities for emergency response and assigns major functional areas to on-site and offsite response facilities for augmented-~response.

In the following analysis, the impact of consolidating ERO positions and reassigning responsibilities is assessed based on the capacity of on-shift staff to perform major tasks for each major functional area of HNP.Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 guidance assumes the on-shift staff will provide the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects functions throughout the emergency.

The on-shift operations staffing as provided in the current HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan Revision 36.0 meets the operations staffing requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) and the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

In addition to these requirements, the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for a dedicated Shift Manager position to perform E7- 1 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation the NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 function of Emergency Direction and Control. Per NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, this function may be performed as a collateral duty of one of the individuals performing the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function.

However, providing a Shift Manager to fill this function as a standalone position enhances the ability of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 control room staff to fulfill the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function while the dedicated ED addresses aspects of the Emergency Direction and Control function.

This has been demonstrated and documented by performing a 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E shift staffing evaluation.

In accordance with the current HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the on-shift staffing exceeds the requirements of NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 Table B-i, as well as those prescribed in the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan. The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan will add another Reactor Operator to the HNP shift staff, ensuring further support of the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function at the start of an event and until the on-shift staff is properly augmented.

Emergency Direction and Control NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 guidance provides that the Emergency Direction and Control function may be fulfilled by personnel assigned other functions.

Per the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the Emergency Director (ED) function is was a collateral duty of an ED-qualified individual assigned to the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function until relieved by an augmented ED in the TSC within approximately one hour of notification of an emergency.

As provided in the current version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the Shift Manager is designated as the on-shift ED to fulfill the function of Emergency Direction and Control until relieved by the Technical Support Center (TSC) ED within approximately one hour of notification of an Alert or higher emergenCy.

With the proposed changes, the Shift Manager/ED is relieved within 75 minutes of declaration of an Alert or higher emergency by the ED in the TSC, who then assumes overall control of the response efforts. This remains unchanged in the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan with the exception of redefining the augmentation time to include the time provided for notification of the ERO.In addition to the augmentation of an ED in the TSC within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan provides an additional ED will be augmented in the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration.

The aspects of the Emergency Direction and Control function assigned to the TSC and EOF EDs are clearly defined in the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan. The primary role of the EOF ED will be to assume responsibility for state and local notifications and to approve of Protective Action Recommendations (PARs). This ensures that in the unlikely event of a Hostile Action Based (HAB) event in which the site is not accessible to the ERO, an ED would be available in the EQE within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration to assume these aspects of the Emergency Direction and Control function to minimize the burden on the Shift Manager/ED.

E7-2 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation There would be no undue burden on the Control Room staff or impact on the notification function from an addition of the EOF ED. (See table below.)CONTROL ROOM TSC EOF Shift Manager / Emergency TSC Emergency Director EOF Emergency Director Director Classification Classification Notifications Notifications PARS PARS Emergency Exposure Emergency Exposure Controls Controls Finally, the proposed revision to the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan requires augmentation of the following TSC and EOF positions, which support activation of the TSC and OEO, within 75 minutes of event classification:

  • TSC Emergency Director* TSC Manager* TSC Operations Supervisor
  • TSC Emergency Notification System (ENS) Communicator
  • TSC ERE Communicator
  • TSC Radiation Protection (RP) Supervisor
  • TSC Chemistry Support* TSC Engineering Supervisor
  • TSC Reactor Engineer* TSC Engineering Support* TSC Maintenance Supervisor
  • EOE Emergency Director* EOF Manager* EOF Field Team Coordinator
  • EOF Emergency Communications Coordinator
  • EOF Security Coordinator
  • EOF Offsite Response Coordinator
  • EOF Emergency Notification Network (ENN) Communicator
  • EOF Nuclear Spokesperson
  • EOF Technical Assistant* EOF News Writer* EOF Field Team Communicator
  • EOF Dose Assessment Supervisor E7-3 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation
  • EOF Dose Analyst* EOF Technical Supervisor Notification and Communication NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 guidance requires one Communicator to be assigned on-shift.

Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for one Communicator or other trained personnel to perform this function.

In the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan staffing for HNP, this function will be modified by a note that indicates this function may be fulfilled by individuals assigned other functions.

However, an additional Reactor Operator will be added to the HNP control room staff to ensure there will be sufficient appropriately trained personnel on-shift for the Communications function to be assigned to a member of the control room staff with no collateral tasks. This has been demonstrated and documented by performing a 10 CER Part 50, Appendix E shift staffing evaluation.

In addition, the proposed SNO Fleet Emergency Plan provides for the transfer of state and local notifications, including authority to approve the content of the notification form, directly to the EOF from the control room. The proposed change includes both sufficient communications personnel to perform the communications and an ED with the authority to approve the content of the notification.

This ensures that in the unlikely event of an HAB event in which the site is not accessible to the ERO, sufficient personnel will be available in the EOF within 75 minutes from time of declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification to assume the Communications function t and minimize the burden on the Shift Manager/ED.

The ability to transfer the Communications function directly to the EOF, and provision of sufficient augmented personnel in the EOF to perform the Communicator function within 75 minutes ensure no additional burden is incurred by the on-shift staff.Radiological Accident Assessment and Chemistry/Radio-Chemistry The function of on-site radiological assessment is to: review radiological conditions onsite using data from available instrumentation, assess the impact of changing radiological conditions on emergency classification, assist in accident assessment based upon those changing radiological conditions, and recommend appropriate on-site protective measures.Classification is performed by the Shift Manager/ED using NMP-EP-1 10, Emergency Classification Determination and Initial Action procedure, which uses readily available and easily recognized plant instrumentation to determine the appropriate emergency classification.

Off-site and onsite surveys provide additional information, such as direct radiation measurements that can be directly applied to emergency classification.

The on-shift Radiation Protection (RP)Technician takes direction from the Control Room to provide radiological assessment support until the OSC is activated.

As part of the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function, the operating crew uses symptom-based emergency operating procedures (EOPs) which minimize the need for specific accident assessment.

The operating crew performs actions based on symptoms that are described in the EOPs, not based on specific accident assessment.

Similarly, the Shift Manager/ED uses flowcharts in NMP-EP-1 12, Protective Action Recommendations procedure, which prescribes the decision-making processes for directing on-site protective measures.

The simple information needed to accomplish this for rapid decision making by the Shift Manager/ED using readily available information.

The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) provides the control room with a display of plant parameters from which the status of plant operation can be assessed.

The SPDS has the following functions:

E7-4 Enclosure 7 to NL-1 6-01 69 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation

  • Aids the control room operators in the rapid detection and identification of abnormal operating conditions.
  • Provides additional specific information to analyze and diagnose the cause of abnormal operating conditions.
  • Monitors plant response to corrective actions.* Provides grouping of parameters to enhance the operators' capability to assess plant status quickly without surveying all control room displays concurrently.
  • Directs the operators' attention to other specific confirmatory non-SPDS control room displays.* Provides human factors engineered display formats in simple and consistent display patterns and coding.* Provides display information on a real-time basis, along with validation of data.* Provides generated selectable trend displays on a real-time basis for monitoring reactivity control, reactor core cooling and heat removal from the primary system, reactor coolant system integrity, radioactivity control, containment integrity, and other selected parameters.

Therefore, with the proposed changes, the ERO structure continues to meet the intent of the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).This Functional Area includes three tasks: EOF Emergency Director; Off-Site Dose Assessment and Chemistry/Radiochemistry; and Off-site, On-Site (out of plant), In-Plant Surveys, and Radiation Protection.

Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Emergency Director (ED)The TSC ED is not assigned to the on-shift complement.

In the current plan, the TSC ED arrives within approximately 60 minutes of notification of an Alert or higher emergency classification, and relieves the on-shift ED of overall emergency management as well as all off-site responsibilities including PARs and emergency notifications.

The EOF is also staffed within this timeframe; however, there is currently no ED provided in the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).Under this proposal, within 75 minutes of classification the Shift Manager/ED is relieved in the TSC by the ED who then assumes overall control of the response efforts. The EOF ED arrives and relieves the TSC ED of overall emergency management and off-site responsibilities including PARs, dose assessment, and emergency notifications.

This ensures that in the unlikely event of an HAB event in which the site is not accessible to the ERO, sufficient personnel to perform the Radiological Accident Assessment and Support of Operational Accident Assessment function will be available in the EOF within 75 minutes from time of an Alert or higher declaration and minimize the burden on the Shift Manager/ED.

As discussed earlier, the overall function is enhanced by providing a Shift Manager to fill this function as a standalone position beyond the collateral assignment as designated by NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 Table B-i, during the period prior to augmentation.

The proposed change presents no adverse impact to the ERO staffing because the TSC and EOF EDs will continue to provide timely relief to the on-shift ED from the duties and responsibilities for offsite functions.

Off site Dose Assessment (ODA) / Chemistry NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-0l Revision 1 does not provide for on-shift dose assessment capability.

The current version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan does provide E7-5 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation for an on-shift capability for performance of dose assessment and is currently assigned to a Reactor Operator.

In the proposed change, on-shift dose assessment will be assigned to appropriately trained on-shift personnel (typically a chemistry technician) who will be dedicated to this task with no other collateral emergency response duties. This will in turn free the Reactor Operator to perform other control room related tasks.With the improvements to the dose assessment software program, as well as plant status, meteorological, and radiation monitoring data, Chemistry can easily and rapidly perform dose assessments during emergency conditions.

Enhancements in dose assessment software have reduced to the time required to perform dose assessment runs and provide the results to the ED. In addition, the dose assessment software is operational in a Windows operating system on the SNC Local Area Network (LAN) and as such can be readily accessed from any LAN computer on the SNC network.A second Chemistry individual is provided as part of the minimum on-shift staffing so that any required chemistry samples may be collected without impacting the chemistry individual assigned to perform dose assessment.

A review of the Emergency Operations Procedures (EOPs), Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs), HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, and the procedures used by Operations for off-normal plant conditions did not identify any conflicts between completion of dose assessment and other on-shift Chemistry functions within the 75 minute augmentation time frame. An additional Chemistry support individual will be augmented in the TSC within 75 minutes, who will provide oversight for chemistry sampling and analysis activities.

An additional Chemistry technician will be augmented in the OSC within 75 minutes to assist in performing chemistry sampling and analysis.-

Augmentation by the RP Supervisor TSC within 75 minutes will relieve the Shift Manager/ED of the role of oversight of the on-shift dose assessor.

The TSC will retain this task until relieved by the EOF dose assessment staff, which consists of the Dose Assessment Supervisor and Dose Analyst. There is no loss of function or impact on the timing for performing either of the tasks of dose assessment or required radiochemistry sampling by the proposed on-shift staffing provided in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan.Offsite/Onsite Surveys, In-Plant surveys and Radiation Protection (RP)NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 identifies one on-shift RP Technician who is responsible for performing in-plant surveys. NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-0l Revision 1 does not provide for any on-shift personnel for on-site out of plant surveys or for off-site surveys.NUREG-0654

/ FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 further identifies two RP technicians under the Protective Actions function for performing the tasks of Access Control, Radiation Protection coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid, firefighting, Personnel monitoring, and dosimetry.

However, a note modification provides that these individuals may be assigned other functions, for example, the RP technician assigned to the in-plant surveys task and the individual assigned to the Chemistry/Radio-chemistry task under the Radiological Accident Assessment and Support of Operational Accident Assessment function.Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides two individuals for the task of off-site survey and an additional individual for the task of on-site (out of plant) survey.Collectively, these individuals include one individual qualified to perform the survey, an assistant to drive the team vehicle, and an individual is to coordinate communications between the survey team and the dose assessor.As part of the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan the HNP on-shift staffing for the on-site out of plant survey will be performed by a single RP technician or other appropriately trained E7-6 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation personnel.

SNC currently uses predesignated, readily accessible survey points around the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant site for collecting on-site survey data. Prior to dispatch of the on-site out of plant monitoring technician the dose assessor will brief the survey technician on the event conditions, direction of potential/actual plume path, potential radiological conditions, and so forth. The technician will be dispatched to one of the predesignated sample points in the downwind direction of the potential/actual plume path. The survey technician will then obtain the pre-staged on-site out of plant survey kit and vehicle and proceed to the designated location.

The dose assessor and the survey technician will have the capability to maintain near continuous communications, which will allow the dose assessor to redirect the technician while in route if needed. Since the designated sample points are on-site and readily accessible from the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant site road system, there will be no immediate need for the survey technician to travel off-site and this survey can be performed by a single individual without impacting the accuracy or timeliness of the survey.Additionally, the proposed SNO Fleet Emergency Plan HNP on-shift staffing will eliminate the on-shift individual coordinating communications between the out of plant survey technician and the dose assessor, and instead has the survey technician communicate directly with the dose assessor.

This will expedite communication of field survey readings to the dose assessor for input into the dose assessment program, resulting in a shorter completion time of dose assessment runs using actual field survey results.Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for augmentation of two off-site*

survey teams as well as a Field Team Coordinator and Field Team Communicator at the EOF. The proposed staffing for the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan augments a single off-site survey team within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration as well as maintaining the augmentation of the EOF Field Team Coordinator and Field Team Communicator positions currently provided.Installed effluent radiation monitors and in-plant radiation monitors are able to detect any radioactive release quickly and accurately.

The enhanced technology provided by the Safety Parameters Display System (SPDS) and the dose assessment computer model provides reliable visual indication of any radioactive plume and its calculated direction.

Quantification of a radioactive release is determined by dose assessment, which is performed by dedicated on-shift personnel then augmented by additional dose assessment personnel in the TSC and EOF. On-site, out of plant field teams and off-site field teams are typically used to verify the status of a potential release and Validate the dose assessment model. Dose assessment model validation strategies developed and implemented by the EOF staff typically include directing one team to track the leading edge of the radiological plume and one team to define the lateral edges of the plume and determine plume centerline radiological conditions.

If the field team survey data indicates a departure from the dose assessment model, the radiation surveys and air samples collected by these two field teams can be used to perform dose assessment back calculations.

SNC believes the two proposed field monitoring teams will be satisfactory for performing these surveys. To better support performing surveys off-site, the on-shift field team, which initially consisted of a single RP technician or appropriately trained individual, can be augmented by the on-shift dose assessor as a vehicle driver (once relieved by the EOF Dose Analyst).

Sufficient instrumentation, communication equipment, and transportation will be maintained on-site for augmenting and dispatching additional teams if needed.Regarding in-plant surveys, Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for two RP technicians to perform in-plant surveys. The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan HNP on-shift staffing provides one RP technician assigned to the task of E7-7 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation in-plant surveys under the Radiological Accident Assessment and Support of Operational Accident Assessment function.

An additional RP technician will be provided for the Protective Actions function discussed later. However, since both of these individuals are qualified RP technicians, they will be available to collectively support either of these functions as needed. An additional two Radiation Protection technicians will respond within 75 minutes to support Radiological Accident Assessment (in-plant) function.

This will provide sufficient Radiation Protection resources to address the Radiological Accident Assessment needs of both the on-shift and augmented ERO personnel.

With improved installed instrumentation, dose calculation computer modeling, and dedicated on-shift staffing for dose assessment and on-site out of plant surveys, there is no more than minimal impact to the performance of these tasks as a result of the proposed staffing alignments in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan.Plant System Engineering This functional area includes two tasks: Technical Support, and Repair and Corrective Actions.Technical Support NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 guidance provided for a Shift Technical Advisor (STA) to be available on-shift to perform the Technical Support task including core/thermal hydraulics in response to the NUREG-0737 requirements resulting from the Three Mile Island accident.

Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides an individual to fulfill the STA task. The performance of the Technical Support task includes use of the SPDS computer, which graphically displays the pertinent parameters with trending and graphing capabilities, alarm functions, and color-coded indication for changes in state for various critical safety parameters.

This enhances critical parameter monitoring and the rapid identification and assessment of in plant conditions.

This remains unchanged for HNP in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan.Repair and Corrective Actions NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-0! Revision 1 Table B-i specifies the functional area of Repair and Corrective Actions is to be provided on-shift by a total of two individuals who also "may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions." It further states that the "position title or expertise" for the Repair and Corrective Actions task could be filled by Mechanical Maintenance I Radwaste Operator, Electrical Maintenance, or l&C Technician.

Due to the time needed to stabilize the plant and assess the event, the initial phase of an accident is not expected to involve a significant need for maintenance personnel.

Once plant status is understood and the plant is in a stable condition, attention can be focused on corrective maintenance that may be needed to restore plant capabilities.

Typically, the initial stages of Corrective Actions will be minor or of limited scope, such as:* Mechanical

-Identification and operation of faulty valves, clogged filters, packing and seal adjustments, or troubleshooting,* Electrical

-Identification and correction of tripped breakers and overloads, or hands-off troubleshooting,* I&C -Identification and correction of controller and set point adjustment, calibration, or hands-off troubleshooting.

Until the reactor is stabilized and the causal agents identified, actual repairs or realignment of plant equipment would not require large-scale maintenance support. The current version E7-8 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for one mechanical journeyman, two electrical journeymen, and one instrument and controls technician on-shift to support the Repair and Corrective Action task. The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan on-shift maintenance staffing numbers will be reduced to one on-shift electrical journeyman.

In addition to these personnel, a maintenance supervisor will be added to on-shift to provide supervisory oversight for repair and corrective actions, further enhancing the on-shift response capability.

A 10 CFR 50 Appendix E shift staffing evaluation demonstrated that no maintenance personnel were assigned tasks during the 75 minutes prior to augmentation.

Additionally, the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan provides for augmentation of maintenance discipline specific leads in the 030 as well as an overall OSC Manager within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher emergency classification.

With the described on-shift maintenance staffing, there is no impact on the repair and corrective action tasks described under the Plant System Engineering, Repair and Corrective actions function as the result of removing the one electrical journeyman.

The NRC Public Meeting on July 16, 2015 discussing proposed changes to guidance regarding ERO staffing and augmentation (ML15174A309) identified that the proposed change primarily meets or exceeds the current regulatory guidance of NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 Table B-i and the proposed NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 2.Based on HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 licensing basis (FSAR), the design philosophy with respect to Emergency Safety Features (ESF), and guidance for restoration, it is unnecessary to have additional Mechanical Maintenance, Electrical Maintenance and I&C Maintenance augmented within the 75 minute timeframe.

ESF systems are redundant in trains (physical separation) and have diversity of subsystems.

Therefore, the inoperability of different system components in different trains is not anticipated to result in a loss of function of the ESE.This allows flexibility in plant operations under circumstances where components in redundant subsystems may be inoperable.

Protective Actions (In-Plant)

For the Protective Actions (In-Plant) function, NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 specifies providing two personnel on-shift who "may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions." The major tasks of this function are access control, RP coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid, and firefighting, personnel monitoring, and dosimetry.

Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides four individuals for performing this function.

However, this number is modified by a note stating "may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions." Under the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan staffing a single RP technician will support this function.System Operators are typically dispatched prior to the call-out of augmented personnel.

Normally the initial response phase involves search and rescue operations or manual manipulation of equipment.

Maintenance actions in the initial response phase are anticipated to be minimal as discussed previously.

Installed plant area radiation monitors are used to provide indication of in-plant radiation levels prior to dispatch of personnel into the plant. This allows for personnel to be assigned the appropriate dose and dose rate alarms for their electronic personal dosimetry prior to dispatch and to assign additional Radiation Protection technician support as needed.Personnel accessing the Radiological Control Areas (RCA) at HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 are required by procedure to obtain electronic personal dosimetry prior to entry. The same dosimetry is also used as a "key" to unlock turnstiles for access to the RCA. Radiation work permits (RWPs) establish the necessary preset warnings/alarms associated with the dosimetry.

E7-9 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation During a declared emergency, the normal RCA entry process may use pre-prepared emergency RWPs using the Digital Alarming Dosimeters DADs. In the event the normal access system is non-functional an emergency reentry process has been developed to use the pre-prepared emergency RWP dose and dose rate alarms manually programed into the DADs. This ensures the teams dispatched to in-plant areas to perform any function during a declared emergency will be afforded ample warning/alarm prior to exceeding their allowed dose or dose rate. In-plant teams are briefed on radiological conditions prior to being dispatched, including plant event conditions, radiological conditions, dose and dose rate turn back values/alarms, and communications methods to be used if radiological conditions change or if unexpected radiological conditions are encountered.

Thus, under emergency conditions, responding personnel will be knowledgeable of dose rates in the area, and radiation protection personnel may not be required to accompany all teams into the plant areas. Dosimeters also can be programmed at the OSC by RP personnel as needed prior to team dispatch.

The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan HNP on-shift staffing provides for a total of two Radiation Protection technicians between the Protective Actions (in-plant) and Radiological Accident Assessment (in-plant surveys) to ensure appropriate radiological protective measures are available to the on-shift staff.An additional two Radiation Protection technicians and an RP/Chemistry OSC lead will be augmented in the OSC within 75 minutes to support the Protective Actions (in-plant) function.This will provide sufficient Radiation Protection resources to address the needs of both the on-shift and augmented ERO personnel for the Protective Actions (in-plant) function.Fire Fighting There are no proposed changes to this area. The on-shift Fire Brigade is assigned this task throughout the emergency with off-site support provided by local fire departments.

A staffing analysis meeting the requirements of 10 CER 50 Appendix E.IV.A.9 for the proposed organization was performed.

The results of that analysis showed that the required response functions could 'be conducted with parallel activation of the fire brigade for the subject scenarios.

Rescue Operations and First Aid Per NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, the Rescue Operations and First Aid function"may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions.

There are no proposed changes to this area. The HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides appropriately trained on-shift personnel to fulfill this function as a collateral duty. There are no additional personnel augmented for this task. Local off-site support provides for any additional assistance.

There are no proposed changes to this area.Site Access Controls and Personnel Accountability There are no proposed changes to this area. This function is part of the Security Contingency Plan and is staffed accordingly.

Onsite Emergency Response Organization (ERO) -10 CFR 50.47(b) (2)The current ERO provided in Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan was developed in response to NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1. The ERO developed by NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 was developed without a specific technical basis. The Emergency Preparedness Enhanced Rulemaking of November 23, 2011 required the capabilities of the on-shift staff to be validated by a formal analysis.

This requirement was E7-10 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation documented in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.A.9.

In support of this submittal, the proposed ERO for the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Site was analyzed and it was determined that the on-shift staff proposed is capable of performing the response functions required of the revised rule.Reason for the Chanqe The proposed ERO in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan provides a standard complement of emergency response positions, titles, duties, and responsibilities.

This will result in a more effective interface between ERO members at the sites and their counterparts at the SNC Fleet EOF. Having a common ERO organization for the SNC Fleet will also support sharing of ERO resources between affected and non-affected stations during emergencies.

Establishing an appropriately staffed SNC Fleet standard on-shift and an augmented ERO staffing model with an SNC Fleet standard definition for ERO augmentation time is a practical and prudent alternate method to ensure effective and timely emergency response augmentation.

Details associated with the on-shift ERO, revised augmented ERO, and revised key responsibilities and tasks as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, are included in Enclosure 9.Planning Basis for Augmented Emergency Response Organization (ERO)Positions have been designated as 75 minutes responders in the TSC, OSC, EOF, and JIC.These positions perform major functions and supporting functions in each facility.

Any personnel determined to be required to support the minimum staff activation and initiation of activities were added to the revised augmented ERO.Program Enhancements The following section discusses technical changes in plant systems, dose assessment, procedures, and training which have been completed in order to better support on-shift functions and ease operator burden. Additional information regarding on-shift and augmented positions and their responsibilities as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 are outlined in Enclosure 9.Plant Computer System At the time of the original approval of the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the site used an Emergency Response Facility Computer System. The operator interface consisted of a small number of printers located in the control room and computer room.In 1986, the Emergency Response Facility Computer System was housed in the TSC. The design criteria were based on the requirements of NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, for a Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and the upgrading of ERrs. The requirements were met or exceeded by a system of grouped displays of parameters from which plant safety status can be rapidly assessed, provided by Proteus software.

The system upgrade included introduction of automatic updates to plant overview and system displays on the computer monitors, consolidated safety parameter displays, and increased frequency of parameter updates.In 2008/2009, the site integrated SPDS into the plant process computer.

This significantly improved plant monitoring capabilities in the control room as well as in the site's ERrs by integrating other independent standalone systems.Benefits of the upgraded systems include:* Programming capability for automated response such as indication of critical parameter alarms.* Improved plant monitoring capability for ED functions.

  • Fewer keystrokes required to switch between graphical displays.* Real time plant data available through graphical displays.* Functions are available to any desktop computer through the plant's site-wide intranet.Computer basic functions are supported by instrument buses with back-up power provided by vital buses.Dose Assessment The original HNP dose assessment software used manual entry of basic meteorological data and either manual entry of radiological data or use of internally stored source terms. The HNP dose assessment capability was upgraded in the mid-i1990s when the MIDAS dose assessment program was installed on the ERF Computer to provide HNP a full Class B dose assessment model.E7-1 6 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation Improvements have been made to the dose assessment program resulting in minimal user interface required to quickly produce results. Radiological dose assessment has benefited from technological advances that make dose assessment simpler and less time-consuming.

Dose assessment is currently performed by on-shift operations personnel using the prompt dose assessment mode of the MIDAS-N U program, which is a Class A model. Once the TSC and EOF staff arrive, a full Class B model of the MIDAS-NU program is employed to perform dose assessment.

This program supports multi-unit and multi-accident assessment of radiological releases.

The MIDAS-NU program has minimal data entry needs and a minimal number of program windows the user needs to access to perform a dose projection.

With the use of the dose assessment program, as well as plant status, meteorological, and radiation monitoring data, one person can easily and rapidly perform dose assessments during emergency conditions.

Specifically designed displays have been developed for obtaining the necessary plant, radiological effluent, area radiation monitor, and meteorological information for dose assessment personnel on-shift using the Meteorological Information Dose Assessment System-Nuclear (MIDAS-NU) program.Automated Call-Out System Automated call-out systems have been enhanced to streamline processes for activation of the ERO. A single phone call initiates rapid notification of ERO members, in lieu of individual calls to fill the ERO positions included in the Emergency Plan. The system includes a primary activation location as well as a remotely located back-up capability to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Procedure Improvements Emergency Operations Procedures (EOPs)/Abnormal Operating Procedures)AOPs)

Since the original emergency plan approval, EOPs have been improved through industry initiatives.

EOPs now use a symptom-based approach that demands less assessment and interpretation of plant conditions by the operating crews. EOPs interface well with new technology such as IPC. EOP curves are generated by IPC to graphically display plant conditions relative to limits or required actions.Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs)In 2008 (Reference NL-08-01 60; Revision 27.0 of HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan)HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 updated the classification methodology to NEI 99-01, Revision 4.EALs now incorporate guidance that has simplified the classification process, including the use of an overview matrix of EAL initiating conditions and threshold values, which streamlines the process of evaluating EALs against plant conditions.

Training Improvements Operations Training Training is used to strategically drive improved performance at HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2.Since NRC approval of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the application of the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) has resulted in developing a task list for Operations personnel.

The SAT process ensures training is conducted to industry-accepted standards and has led to accreditation of the Operations Training Programs by the National Academy for Nuclear Training.E7-1 7 Enclosure 7 to NL-1 6-01 69 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation A dynamic simulator is routinely used during Operations Training.

Simulator evaluations include emergency response scenarios that periodically exceed 75 minutes in length and are part of the requalification cycle. Simulator scenarios are designed to be realistic and reflect a wide range of plant conditions, including emergency conditions.

During evaluated simulator sessions, the control room staff is taken from normal operation to accident conditions resulting in declaration of at least one event, which can range from Unusual Event to General Emergency.

The crew performs critical tasks, classification, accident mitigation, response prioritization, and communications without augmentation from additional responders.

The proficiency of the control room staff to perform these functions while maintaining situational awareness, without additional support, is assessed in every training cycle.The Licensed Operator Continuing Training (LOOT) Program includes licensed crew performance evaluations that consider the scenario guidance attributes of INPO Operations Department Standing Instruction, ODSI-3, and "Operations Department Guidance." Attachment C of ODSI-3 provides guidance on the realistic integration of the emergency response into crew performance evaluations.

The purpose is to ensure the crew performance evaluations realistically represent the additional challenges that the emergency plan responsibilities add to the crew's ability to manage an event. Representing the event as realistically as possible, which includes the additional challenges of emergency plan responsibilities, helps promote the situational awareness necessary during a real event.STA Training The Shift Technical Advisor (STA) was originally trained as an advisor to the operating shift per NUREG-0737.

In 1990, additional guidelines were developed by INPO for the training of STAs. This is detailed in the document INPO 90-003, Guidelines for Training and Qualifications of Shift Technical Advisors.The INPO Guidelines describe the role of the STA. The STA performs independent assessments of plant operating concerns, technical support, appropriate corrective actions, analysis of events and their effects, effectiveness of response(s) to emergent conditions, classifications of emergencies, development of recommendations to protect the public, and any other actions related to critical safety functions and plant safety during abnormal and emergency situations.

By routinely monitoring equipment and plant operations, the STA can focus on preventive actions in order to mitigate the consequences of an accident and protect public health and safety.Increases in On-Shift Staffing There has been an increase in on-shift staffing from what was required in the 1981 Revision of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, in order to ensure adequate performance of the major emergency plan functions and tasks. A total of 25 persons are identified for on-shift staffing in Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, which is an increase from the total of 10 persons in the regulatory guidance provided by NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1. A comparative chart depicting on-shift and augmented staffing based on NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, and proposed revisions are included in Enclosure 9.Enhancements in Information Sharing with Offsite Agencies There has been a dramatic increase in the ability of the site to share event-specific information with Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) from the one-to-one telephone systems at the time E7-1 8 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation of the 1981 Revision of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan. Real-time plant data is communicated to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission using the approved Emergency Response Data System (ERDS). Additionally, local OROs are provided real-time data with automated methods (currently Web EOC). These enhancements provide more timely and accurate information of actual plant conditions than was originally available.

Improvement Summary The improvements to staffing, equipment, procedures, communication of plant information, and training since initial approval of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan have resulted in a significant increase in on-shift capabilities and knowledge.

The ERO maintains the depth and capability for continuous 24-hour coverage of the Emergency Response for a protracted period.Summary Based on overall improvements in technology, procedures, training, and staffing levels available to ERO since the original implementation of the guidance contained in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1, the proposed Emergency Response Organization is capable of implementing the Emergency Plan in accordance with the requirements of 10 CER 47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.E7-19 Southern Nuclear Operating Company Joseph M.

PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY EMERGENCY PLANNING ZONE PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND INFORMATION

1. Notification
a. Primary Southern Nuclear Operating Company has provided the administrative and physical means for alerting and providing prompt instructions to the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ by providing an Alert and Notification System (ANS) for the entire plume exposure pathway EPZ. Primary alerting is accomplished by use of a siren system. The siren alerting system consists of 89 pole mounted sirens. Each siren operates on battery power with battery charge maintained through an inverter that receives power from the local electrical grid or from a solar panel.Each siren site contains two radios -one for the primary radio signal frequency operating in the UHF band and one for the backup radio frequency operating in the VHF band. Repeaters for the primary and backup radio frequencies are provided on two separate radio towers with associated power, control, and radio communication provided.

Siren system activation, test, and monitoring panels are provided at each for the counties of Houston and Henry County, Alabama; one for Early County, Georgia; and one for the State of SGeorgia.EP E.2.5: Prompt alerting and notification of the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ is the obligation of state and local government or other responsible authority.

Following activation of the siren system, emergency notifications will be made to the public within the 10 mile plume exposure pathway EPZ by activation of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). State and local Emergency Management Agencies will initiate activation of the local EAS stations through a dedicated EAS activation console. The EAS activation console provides a connection to designated EAS stations that allows for activation of the station through redundant communications pathways.Emergency messages are transmitted from the EAS activation console via phone line, internet, or satellite connections.

Activation of the station does not require that the station be manned. Emergency messages are coordinated between the local Emergency Management Agencies and the State Emergency Management Agencies prior to activation of the local radio stations, as specified in the local area plans.

Farley Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2;Edwin I, Hatch Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2;Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2;Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4 ENCLOSURE 7 Hatch Staffing Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation Enclosure 7 to NL-1 6-01 69 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation This License Amendment Request (LAR) revises the current on-shift and augmented Emergency Response Organization (ERO) for Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan to incorporate a standard on-shift and augmented ERO staffing plan for the Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNO) Fleet. This proposed change to the ERO will result in an SNC Fleet standard definition of ERO augmentation time as well as an SNC Fleet standard complement of emergency response positions, titles, duties, and responsibilities.

EP Functions Impacted by the Proposed Change The proposed change impacts the ERO as outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b) Planning Standards 1 and 2. This change addresses the following Planning Standard Functions:

  • 10 CFR 50.47(b) (1): The response organization has the staff to respond and augment on a continuing basis (24/7 staffing) in accordance with the Emergency Plan.* 10 CFR 50.47(b) (2): Process for timely augmentation of on-shift staff is established and maintained.

The proposed change has been reviewed and continues to perform the functions required of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the related requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Activation HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan Revision 36.0 requires staffing of the augmented ERO at the Alert or higher classification

". ..ASAP, but not later than approximately 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> following the initial notification." It also states, "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." The proposed SNO Fleet standard definition for ERO augmentation is 75 minutes from declaration.

This proposed change redefines the SNC Fleet augmentation time without extension, since the 15-minute notification period will be incorporated in the overall definition of augmentation time. The proposed SNC Fleet definition also removes ambiguous wording such as "about" and "approximately" in order to clearly define the augmentation requirement.

Assignment of Responsibility/Organizational Control The HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan maintains an on-shift organization as documented in the site Emergency Plan Revision 36.0. This Plan identifies the authority and responsibilities for emergency response and assigns major functional areas to on-site and offsite response facilities for augmented-~response.

In the following analysis, the impact of consolidating ERO positions and reassigning responsibilities is assessed based on the capacity of on-shift staff to perform major tasks for each major functional area of HNP.Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 guidance assumes the on-shift staff will provide the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects functions throughout the emergency.

The on-shift operations staffing as provided in the current HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan Revision 36.0 meets the operations staffing requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) and the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

In addition to these requirements, the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for a dedicated Shift Manager position to perform E7- 1 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation the NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 function of Emergency Direction and Control. Per NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, this function may be performed as a collateral duty of one of the individuals performing the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function.

However, providing a Shift Manager to fill this function as a standalone position enhances the ability of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 control room staff to fulfill the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function while the dedicated ED addresses aspects of the Emergency Direction and Control function.

This has been demonstrated and documented by performing a 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E shift staffing evaluation.

In accordance with the current HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the on-shift staffing exceeds the requirements of NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 Table B-i, as well as those prescribed in the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan. The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan will add another Reactor Operator to the HNP shift staff, ensuring further support of the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function at the start of an event and until the on-shift staff is properly augmented.

Emergency Direction and Control NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 guidance provides that the Emergency Direction and Control function may be fulfilled by personnel assigned other functions.

Per the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the Emergency Director (ED) function is was a collateral duty of an ED-qualified individual assigned to the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function until relieved by an augmented ED in the TSC within approximately one hour of notification of an emergency.

As provided in the current version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the Shift Manager is designated as the on-shift ED to fulfill the function of Emergency Direction and Control until relieved by the Technical Support Center (TSC) ED within approximately one hour of notification of an Alert or higher emergenCy.

With the proposed changes, the Shift Manager/ED is relieved within 75 minutes of declaration of an Alert or higher emergency by the ED in the TSC, who then assumes overall control of the response efforts. This remains unchanged in the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan with the exception of redefining the augmentation time to include the time provided for notification of the ERO.In addition to the augmentation of an ED in the TSC within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan provides an additional ED will be augmented in the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration.

The aspects of the Emergency Direction and Control function assigned to the TSC and EOF EDs are clearly defined in the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan. The primary role of the EOF ED will be to assume responsibility for state and local notifications and to approve of Protective Action Recommendations (PARs). This ensures that in the unlikely event of a Hostile Action Based (HAB) event in which the site is not accessible to the ERO, an ED would be available in the EQE within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration to assume these aspects of the Emergency Direction and Control function to minimize the burden on the Shift Manager/ED.

E7-2 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation There would be no undue burden on the Control Room staff or impact on the notification function from an addition of the EOF ED. (See table below.)CONTROL ROOM TSC EOF Shift Manager / Emergency TSC Emergency Director EOF Emergency Director Director Classification Classification Notifications Notifications PARS PARS Emergency Exposure Emergency Exposure Controls Controls Finally, the proposed revision to the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan requires augmentation of the following TSC and EOF positions, which support activation of the TSC and OEO, within 75 minutes of event classification:

  • TSC Emergency Director* TSC Manager* TSC Operations Supervisor
  • TSC Emergency Notification System (ENS) Communicator
  • TSC ERE Communicator
  • TSC Radiation Protection (RP) Supervisor
  • TSC Chemistry Support* TSC Engineering Supervisor
  • TSC Reactor Engineer* TSC Engineering Support* TSC Maintenance Supervisor
  • EOE Emergency Director* EOF Manager* EOF Field Team Coordinator
  • EOF Emergency Communications Coordinator
  • EOF Security Coordinator
  • EOF Offsite Response Coordinator
  • EOF Emergency Notification Network (ENN) Communicator
  • EOF Nuclear Spokesperson
  • EOF Technical Assistant* EOF News Writer* EOF Field Team Communicator
  • EOF Dose Assessment Supervisor E7-3 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation
  • EOF Dose Analyst* EOF Technical Supervisor Notification and Communication NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 guidance requires one Communicator to be assigned on-shift.

Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for one Communicator or other trained personnel to perform this function.

In the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan staffing for HNP, this function will be modified by a note that indicates this function may be fulfilled by individuals assigned other functions.

However, an additional Reactor Operator will be added to the HNP control room staff to ensure there will be sufficient appropriately trained personnel on-shift for the Communications function to be assigned to a member of the control room staff with no collateral tasks. This has been demonstrated and documented by performing a 10 CER Part 50, Appendix E shift staffing evaluation.

In addition, the proposed SNO Fleet Emergency Plan provides for the transfer of state and local notifications, including authority to approve the content of the notification form, directly to the EOF from the control room. The proposed change includes both sufficient communications personnel to perform the communications and an ED with the authority to approve the content of the notification.

This ensures that in the unlikely event of an HAB event in which the site is not accessible to the ERO, sufficient personnel will be available in the EOF within 75 minutes from time of declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification to assume the Communications function t and minimize the burden on the Shift Manager/ED.

The ability to transfer the Communications function directly to the EOF, and provision of sufficient augmented personnel in the EOF to perform the Communicator function within 75 minutes ensure no additional burden is incurred by the on-shift staff.Radiological Accident Assessment and Chemistry/Radio-Chemistry The function of on-site radiological assessment is to: review radiological conditions onsite using data from available instrumentation, assess the impact of changing radiological conditions on emergency classification, assist in accident assessment based upon those changing radiological conditions, and recommend appropriate on-site protective measures.Classification is performed by the Shift Manager/ED using NMP-EP-1 10, Emergency Classification Determination and Initial Action procedure, which uses readily available and easily recognized plant instrumentation to determine the appropriate emergency classification.

Off-site and onsite surveys provide additional information, such as direct radiation measurements that can be directly applied to emergency classification.

The on-shift Radiation Protection (RP)Technician takes direction from the Control Room to provide radiological assessment support until the OSC is activated.

As part of the Plant Operations and Assessment of Operational Aspects function, the operating crew uses symptom-based emergency operating procedures (EOPs) which minimize the need for specific accident assessment.

The operating crew performs actions based on symptoms that are described in the EOPs, not based on specific accident assessment.

Similarly, the Shift Manager/ED uses flowcharts in NMP-EP-1 12, Protective Action Recommendations procedure, which prescribes the decision-making processes for directing on-site protective measures.

The simple information needed to accomplish this for rapid decision making by the Shift Manager/ED using readily available information.

The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) provides the control room with a display of plant parameters from which the status of plant operation can be assessed.

The SPDS has the following functions:

E7-4 Enclosure 7 to NL-1 6-01 69 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation

  • Aids the control room operators in the rapid detection and identification of abnormal operating conditions.
  • Provides additional specific information to analyze and diagnose the cause of abnormal operating conditions.
  • Monitors plant response to corrective actions.* Provides grouping of parameters to enhance the operators' capability to assess plant status quickly without surveying all control room displays concurrently.
  • Directs the operators' attention to other specific confirmatory non-SPDS control room displays.* Provides human factors engineered display formats in simple and consistent display patterns and coding.* Provides display information on a real-time basis, along with validation of data.* Provides generated selectable trend displays on a real-time basis for monitoring reactivity control, reactor core cooling and heat removal from the primary system, reactor coolant system integrity, radioactivity control, containment integrity, and other selected parameters.

Therefore, with the proposed changes, the ERO structure continues to meet the intent of the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).This Functional Area includes three tasks: EOF Emergency Director; Off-Site Dose Assessment and Chemistry/Radiochemistry; and Off-site, On-Site (out of plant), In-Plant Surveys, and Radiation Protection.

Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Emergency Director (ED)The TSC ED is not assigned to the on-shift complement.

In the current plan, the TSC ED arrives within approximately 60 minutes of notification of an Alert or higher emergency classification, and relieves the on-shift ED of overall emergency management as well as all off-site responsibilities including PARs and emergency notifications.

The EOF is also staffed within this timeframe; however, there is currently no ED provided in the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).Under this proposal, within 75 minutes of classification the Shift Manager/ED is relieved in the TSC by the ED who then assumes overall control of the response efforts. The EOF ED arrives and relieves the TSC ED of overall emergency management and off-site responsibilities including PARs, dose assessment, and emergency notifications.

This ensures that in the unlikely event of an HAB event in which the site is not accessible to the ERO, sufficient personnel to perform the Radiological Accident Assessment and Support of Operational Accident Assessment function will be available in the EOF within 75 minutes from time of an Alert or higher declaration and minimize the burden on the Shift Manager/ED.

As discussed earlier, the overall function is enhanced by providing a Shift Manager to fill this function as a standalone position beyond the collateral assignment as designated by NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 Table B-i, during the period prior to augmentation.

The proposed change presents no adverse impact to the ERO staffing because the TSC and EOF EDs will continue to provide timely relief to the on-shift ED from the duties and responsibilities for offsite functions.

Off site Dose Assessment (ODA) / Chemistry NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-0l Revision 1 does not provide for on-shift dose assessment capability.

The current version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan does provide E7-5 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation for an on-shift capability for performance of dose assessment and is currently assigned to a Reactor Operator.

In the proposed change, on-shift dose assessment will be assigned to appropriately trained on-shift personnel (typically a chemistry technician) who will be dedicated to this task with no other collateral emergency response duties. This will in turn free the Reactor Operator to perform other control room related tasks.With the improvements to the dose assessment software program, as well as plant status, meteorological, and radiation monitoring data, Chemistry can easily and rapidly perform dose assessments during emergency conditions.

Enhancements in dose assessment software have reduced to the time required to perform dose assessment runs and provide the results to the ED. In addition, the dose assessment software is operational in a Windows operating system on the SNC Local Area Network (LAN) and as such can be readily accessed from any LAN computer on the SNC network.A second Chemistry individual is provided as part of the minimum on-shift staffing so that any required chemistry samples may be collected without impacting the chemistry individual assigned to perform dose assessment.

A review of the Emergency Operations Procedures (EOPs), Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs), HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, and the procedures used by Operations for off-normal plant conditions did not identify any conflicts between completion of dose assessment and other on-shift Chemistry functions within the 75 minute augmentation time frame. An additional Chemistry support individual will be augmented in the TSC within 75 minutes, who will provide oversight for chemistry sampling and analysis activities.

An additional Chemistry technician will be augmented in the OSC within 75 minutes to assist in performing chemistry sampling and analysis.-

Augmentation by the RP Supervisor TSC within 75 minutes will relieve the Shift Manager/ED of the role of oversight of the on-shift dose assessor.

The TSC will retain this task until relieved by the EOF dose assessment staff, which consists of the Dose Assessment Supervisor and Dose Analyst. There is no loss of function or impact on the timing for performing either of the tasks of dose assessment or required radiochemistry sampling by the proposed on-shift staffing provided in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan.Offsite/Onsite Surveys, In-Plant surveys and Radiation Protection (RP)NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 identifies one on-shift RP Technician who is responsible for performing in-plant surveys. NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-0l Revision 1 does not provide for any on-shift personnel for on-site out of plant surveys or for off-site surveys.NUREG-0654

/ FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 further identifies two RP technicians under the Protective Actions function for performing the tasks of Access Control, Radiation Protection coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid, firefighting, Personnel monitoring, and dosimetry.

However, a note modification provides that these individuals may be assigned other functions, for example, the RP technician assigned to the in-plant surveys task and the individual assigned to the Chemistry/Radio-chemistry task under the Radiological Accident Assessment and Support of Operational Accident Assessment function.Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides two individuals for the task of off-site survey and an additional individual for the task of on-site (out of plant) survey.Collectively, these individuals include one individual qualified to perform the survey, an assistant to drive the team vehicle, and an individual is to coordinate communications between the survey team and the dose assessor.As part of the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan the HNP on-shift staffing for the on-site out of plant survey will be performed by a single RP technician or other appropriately trained E7-6 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation personnel.

SNC currently uses predesignated, readily accessible survey points around the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant site for collecting on-site survey data. Prior to dispatch of the on-site out of plant monitoring technician the dose assessor will brief the survey technician on the event conditions, direction of potential/actual plume path, potential radiological conditions, and so forth. The technician will be dispatched to one of the predesignated sample points in the downwind direction of the potential/actual plume path. The survey technician will then obtain the pre-staged on-site out of plant survey kit and vehicle and proceed to the designated location.

The dose assessor and the survey technician will have the capability to maintain near continuous communications, which will allow the dose assessor to redirect the technician while in route if needed. Since the designated sample points are on-site and readily accessible from the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 plant site road system, there will be no immediate need for the survey technician to travel off-site and this survey can be performed by a single individual without impacting the accuracy or timeliness of the survey.Additionally, the proposed SNO Fleet Emergency Plan HNP on-shift staffing will eliminate the on-shift individual coordinating communications between the out of plant survey technician and the dose assessor, and instead has the survey technician communicate directly with the dose assessor.

This will expedite communication of field survey readings to the dose assessor for input into the dose assessment program, resulting in a shorter completion time of dose assessment runs using actual field survey results.Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for augmentation of two off-site*

survey teams as well as a Field Team Coordinator and Field Team Communicator at the EOF. The proposed staffing for the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan augments a single off-site survey team within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher declaration as well as maintaining the augmentation of the EOF Field Team Coordinator and Field Team Communicator positions currently provided.Installed effluent radiation monitors and in-plant radiation monitors are able to detect any radioactive release quickly and accurately.

The enhanced technology provided by the Safety Parameters Display System (SPDS) and the dose assessment computer model provides reliable visual indication of any radioactive plume and its calculated direction.

Quantification of a radioactive release is determined by dose assessment, which is performed by dedicated on-shift personnel then augmented by additional dose assessment personnel in the TSC and EOF. On-site, out of plant field teams and off-site field teams are typically used to verify the status of a potential release and Validate the dose assessment model. Dose assessment model validation strategies developed and implemented by the EOF staff typically include directing one team to track the leading edge of the radiological plume and one team to define the lateral edges of the plume and determine plume centerline radiological conditions.

If the field team survey data indicates a departure from the dose assessment model, the radiation surveys and air samples collected by these two field teams can be used to perform dose assessment back calculations.

SNC believes the two proposed field monitoring teams will be satisfactory for performing these surveys. To better support performing surveys off-site, the on-shift field team, which initially consisted of a single RP technician or appropriately trained individual, can be augmented by the on-shift dose assessor as a vehicle driver (once relieved by the EOF Dose Analyst).

Sufficient instrumentation, communication equipment, and transportation will be maintained on-site for augmenting and dispatching additional teams if needed.Regarding in-plant surveys, Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for two RP technicians to perform in-plant surveys. The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan HNP on-shift staffing provides one RP technician assigned to the task of E7-7 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation in-plant surveys under the Radiological Accident Assessment and Support of Operational Accident Assessment function.

An additional RP technician will be provided for the Protective Actions function discussed later. However, since both of these individuals are qualified RP technicians, they will be available to collectively support either of these functions as needed. An additional two Radiation Protection technicians will respond within 75 minutes to support Radiological Accident Assessment (in-plant) function.

This will provide sufficient Radiation Protection resources to address the Radiological Accident Assessment needs of both the on-shift and augmented ERO personnel.

With improved installed instrumentation, dose calculation computer modeling, and dedicated on-shift staffing for dose assessment and on-site out of plant surveys, there is no more than minimal impact to the performance of these tasks as a result of the proposed staffing alignments in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan.Plant System Engineering This functional area includes two tasks: Technical Support, and Repair and Corrective Actions.Technical Support NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1 guidance provided for a Shift Technical Advisor (STA) to be available on-shift to perform the Technical Support task including core/thermal hydraulics in response to the NUREG-0737 requirements resulting from the Three Mile Island accident.

Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides an individual to fulfill the STA task. The performance of the Technical Support task includes use of the SPDS computer, which graphically displays the pertinent parameters with trending and graphing capabilities, alarm functions, and color-coded indication for changes in state for various critical safety parameters.

This enhances critical parameter monitoring and the rapid identification and assessment of in plant conditions.

This remains unchanged for HNP in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan.Repair and Corrective Actions NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-0! Revision 1 Table B-i specifies the functional area of Repair and Corrective Actions is to be provided on-shift by a total of two individuals who also "may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions." It further states that the "position title or expertise" for the Repair and Corrective Actions task could be filled by Mechanical Maintenance I Radwaste Operator, Electrical Maintenance, or l&C Technician.

Due to the time needed to stabilize the plant and assess the event, the initial phase of an accident is not expected to involve a significant need for maintenance personnel.

Once plant status is understood and the plant is in a stable condition, attention can be focused on corrective maintenance that may be needed to restore plant capabilities.

Typically, the initial stages of Corrective Actions will be minor or of limited scope, such as:* Mechanical

-Identification and operation of faulty valves, clogged filters, packing and seal adjustments, or troubleshooting,* Electrical

-Identification and correction of tripped breakers and overloads, or hands-off troubleshooting,* I&C -Identification and correction of controller and set point adjustment, calibration, or hands-off troubleshooting.

Until the reactor is stabilized and the causal agents identified, actual repairs or realignment of plant equipment would not require large-scale maintenance support. The current version E7-8 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides for one mechanical journeyman, two electrical journeymen, and one instrument and controls technician on-shift to support the Repair and Corrective Action task. The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan on-shift maintenance staffing numbers will be reduced to one on-shift electrical journeyman.

In addition to these personnel, a maintenance supervisor will be added to on-shift to provide supervisory oversight for repair and corrective actions, further enhancing the on-shift response capability.

A 10 CFR 50 Appendix E shift staffing evaluation demonstrated that no maintenance personnel were assigned tasks during the 75 minutes prior to augmentation.

Additionally, the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan provides for augmentation of maintenance discipline specific leads in the 030 as well as an overall OSC Manager within 75 minutes of an Alert or higher emergency classification.

With the described on-shift maintenance staffing, there is no impact on the repair and corrective action tasks described under the Plant System Engineering, Repair and Corrective actions function as the result of removing the one electrical journeyman.

The NRC Public Meeting on July 16, 2015 discussing proposed changes to guidance regarding ERO staffing and augmentation (ML15174A309) identified that the proposed change primarily meets or exceeds the current regulatory guidance of NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 Table B-i and the proposed NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 2.Based on HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 licensing basis (FSAR), the design philosophy with respect to Emergency Safety Features (ESF), and guidance for restoration, it is unnecessary to have additional Mechanical Maintenance, Electrical Maintenance and I&C Maintenance augmented within the 75 minute timeframe.

ESF systems are redundant in trains (physical separation) and have diversity of subsystems.

Therefore, the inoperability of different system components in different trains is not anticipated to result in a loss of function of the ESE.This allows flexibility in plant operations under circumstances where components in redundant subsystems may be inoperable.

Protective Actions (In-Plant)

For the Protective Actions (In-Plant) function, NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 specifies providing two personnel on-shift who "may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions." The major tasks of this function are access control, RP coverage for repair, corrective actions, search and rescue, first aid, and firefighting, personnel monitoring, and dosimetry.

Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides four individuals for performing this function.

However, this number is modified by a note stating "may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions." Under the proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan staffing a single RP technician will support this function.System Operators are typically dispatched prior to the call-out of augmented personnel.

Normally the initial response phase involves search and rescue operations or manual manipulation of equipment.

Maintenance actions in the initial response phase are anticipated to be minimal as discussed previously.

Installed plant area radiation monitors are used to provide indication of in-plant radiation levels prior to dispatch of personnel into the plant. This allows for personnel to be assigned the appropriate dose and dose rate alarms for their electronic personal dosimetry prior to dispatch and to assign additional Radiation Protection technician support as needed.Personnel accessing the Radiological Control Areas (RCA) at HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 are required by procedure to obtain electronic personal dosimetry prior to entry. The same dosimetry is also used as a "key" to unlock turnstiles for access to the RCA. Radiation work permits (RWPs) establish the necessary preset warnings/alarms associated with the dosimetry.

E7-9 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation During a declared emergency, the normal RCA entry process may use pre-prepared emergency RWPs using the Digital Alarming Dosimeters DADs. In the event the normal access system is non-functional an emergency reentry process has been developed to use the pre-prepared emergency RWP dose and dose rate alarms manually programed into the DADs. This ensures the teams dispatched to in-plant areas to perform any function during a declared emergency will be afforded ample warning/alarm prior to exceeding their allowed dose or dose rate. In-plant teams are briefed on radiological conditions prior to being dispatched, including plant event conditions, radiological conditions, dose and dose rate turn back values/alarms, and communications methods to be used if radiological conditions change or if unexpected radiological conditions are encountered.

Thus, under emergency conditions, responding personnel will be knowledgeable of dose rates in the area, and radiation protection personnel may not be required to accompany all teams into the plant areas. Dosimeters also can be programmed at the OSC by RP personnel as needed prior to team dispatch.

The proposed SNC Fleet Emergency Plan HNP on-shift staffing provides for a total of two Radiation Protection technicians between the Protective Actions (in-plant) and Radiological Accident Assessment (in-plant surveys) to ensure appropriate radiological protective measures are available to the on-shift staff.An additional two Radiation Protection technicians and an RP/Chemistry OSC lead will be augmented in the OSC within 75 minutes to support the Protective Actions (in-plant) function.This will provide sufficient Radiation Protection resources to address the needs of both the on-shift and augmented ERO personnel for the Protective Actions (in-plant) function.Fire Fighting There are no proposed changes to this area. The on-shift Fire Brigade is assigned this task throughout the emergency with off-site support provided by local fire departments.

A staffing analysis meeting the requirements of 10 CER 50 Appendix E.IV.A.9 for the proposed organization was performed.

The results of that analysis showed that the required response functions could 'be conducted with parallel activation of the fire brigade for the subject scenarios.

Rescue Operations and First Aid Per NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, the Rescue Operations and First Aid function"may be provided by shift personnel assigned other functions.

There are no proposed changes to this area. The HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan provides appropriately trained on-shift personnel to fulfill this function as a collateral duty. There are no additional personnel augmented for this task. Local off-site support provides for any additional assistance.

There are no proposed changes to this area.Site Access Controls and Personnel Accountability There are no proposed changes to this area. This function is part of the Security Contingency Plan and is staffed accordingly.

Onsite Emergency Response Organization (ERO) -10 CFR 50.47(b) (2)The current ERO provided in Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan was developed in response to NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1. The ERO developed by NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 was developed without a specific technical basis. The Emergency Preparedness Enhanced Rulemaking of November 23, 2011 required the capabilities of the on-shift staff to be validated by a formal analysis.

This requirement was E7-10 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation documented in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.A.9.

In support of this submittal, the proposed ERO for the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Site was analyzed and it was determined that the on-shift staff proposed is capable of performing the response functions required of the revised rule.Reason for the Chanqe The proposed ERO in the SNC Fleet Emergency Plan provides a standard complement of emergency response positions, titles, duties, and responsibilities.

This will result in a more effective interface between ERO members at the sites and their counterparts at the SNC Fleet EOF. Having a common ERO organization for the SNC Fleet will also support sharing of ERO resources between affected and non-affected stations during emergencies.

Establishing an appropriately staffed SNC Fleet standard on-shift and an augmented ERO staffing model with an SNC Fleet standard definition for ERO augmentation time is a practical and prudent alternate method to ensure effective and timely emergency response augmentation.

Details associated with the on-shift ERO, revised augmented ERO, and revised key responsibilities and tasks as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, are included in Enclosure 9.Planning Basis for Augmented Emergency Response Organization (ERO)Positions have been designated as 75 minutes responders in the TSC, OSC, EOF, and JIC.These positions perform major functions and supporting functions in each facility.

Additional information regarding on-shift and augmented positions and their responsibilities as identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1 are outlined in Enclosure 9.Plant Computer System At the time of the original approval of the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the site used an Emergency Response Facility Computer System. The operator interface consisted of a small number of printers located in the control room and computer room.In 1986, the Emergency Response Facility Computer System was housed in the TSC. The design criteria were based on the requirements of NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, for a Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and the upgrading of ERrs. The requirements were met or exceeded by a system of grouped displays of parameters from which plant safety status can be rapidly assessed, provided by Proteus software.

The system upgrade included introduction of automatic updates to plant overview and system displays on the computer monitors, consolidated safety parameter displays, and increased frequency of parameter updates.In 2008/2009, the site integrated SPDS into the plant process computer.

This significantly improved plant monitoring capabilities in the control room as well as in the site's ERrs by integrating other independent standalone systems.Benefits of the upgraded systems include:* Programming capability for automated response such as indication of critical parameter alarms.* Improved plant monitoring capability for ED functions.

  • Fewer keystrokes required to switch between graphical displays.* Real time plant data available through graphical displays.* Functions are available to any desktop computer through the plant's site-wide intranet.Computer basic functions are supported by instrument buses with back-up power provided by vital buses.Dose Assessment The original HNP dose assessment software used manual entry of basic meteorological data and either manual entry of radiological data or use of internally stored source terms. The HNP dose assessment capability was upgraded in the mid-i1990s when the MIDAS dose assessment program was installed on the ERF Computer to provide HNP a full Class B dose assessment model.E7-1 6 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation Improvements have been made to the dose assessment program resulting in minimal user interface required to quickly produce results. Radiological dose assessment has benefited from technological advances that make dose assessment simpler and less time-consuming.

Dose assessment is currently performed by on-shift operations personnel using the prompt dose assessment mode of the MIDAS-N U program, which is a Class A model. Once the TSC and EOF staff arrive, a full Class B model of the MIDAS-NU program is employed to perform dose assessment.

This program supports multi-unit and multi-accident assessment of radiological releases.

The MIDAS-NU program has minimal data entry needs and a minimal number of program windows the user needs to access to perform a dose projection.

With the use of the dose assessment program, as well as plant status, meteorological, and radiation monitoring data, one person can easily and rapidly perform dose assessments during emergency conditions.

Specifically designed displays have been developed for obtaining the necessary plant, radiological effluent, area radiation monitor, and meteorological information for dose assessment personnel on-shift using the Meteorological Information Dose Assessment System-Nuclear (MIDAS-NU) program.Automated Call-Out System Automated call-out systems have been enhanced to streamline processes for activation of the ERO. A single phone call initiates rapid notification of ERO members, in lieu of individual calls to fill the ERO positions included in the Emergency Plan. The system includes a primary activation location as well as a remotely located back-up capability to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Procedure Improvements Emergency Operations Procedures (EOPs)/Abnormal Operating Procedures)AOPs)

Since the original emergency plan approval, EOPs have been improved through industry initiatives.

EOPs now use a symptom-based approach that demands less assessment and interpretation of plant conditions by the operating crews. EOPs interface well with new technology such as IPC. EOP curves are generated by IPC to graphically display plant conditions relative to limits or required actions.Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs)In 2008 (Reference NL-08-01 60; Revision 27.0 of HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan)HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 updated the classification methodology to NEI 99-01, Revision 4.EALs now incorporate guidance that has simplified the classification process, including the use of an overview matrix of EAL initiating conditions and threshold values, which streamlines the process of evaluating EALs against plant conditions.

Training Improvements Operations Training Training is used to strategically drive improved performance at HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2.Since NRC approval of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, the application of the Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) has resulted in developing a task list for Operations personnel.

The SAT process ensures training is conducted to industry-accepted standards and has led to accreditation of the Operations Training Programs by the National Academy for Nuclear Training.E7-1 7 Enclosure 7 to NL-1 6-01 69 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation A dynamic simulator is routinely used during Operations Training.

Simulator evaluations include emergency response scenarios that periodically exceed 75 minutes in length and are part of the requalification cycle. Simulator scenarios are designed to be realistic and reflect a wide range of plant conditions, including emergency conditions.

During evaluated simulator sessions, the control room staff is taken from normal operation to accident conditions resulting in declaration of at least one event, which can range from Unusual Event to General Emergency.

The crew performs critical tasks, classification, accident mitigation, response prioritization, and communications without augmentation from additional responders.

The proficiency of the control room staff to perform these functions while maintaining situational awareness, without additional support, is assessed in every training cycle.The Licensed Operator Continuing Training (LOOT) Program includes licensed crew performance evaluations that consider the scenario guidance attributes of INPO Operations Department Standing Instruction, ODSI-3, and "Operations Department Guidance." Attachment C of ODSI-3 provides guidance on the realistic integration of the emergency response into crew performance evaluations.

The purpose is to ensure the crew performance evaluations realistically represent the additional challenges that the emergency plan responsibilities add to the crew's ability to manage an event. Representing the event as realistically as possible, which includes the additional challenges of emergency plan responsibilities, helps promote the situational awareness necessary during a real event.STA Training The Shift Technical Advisor (STA) was originally trained as an advisor to the operating shift per NUREG-0737.

In 1990, additional guidelines were developed by INPO for the training of STAs. This is detailed in the document INPO 90-003, Guidelines for Training and Qualifications of Shift Technical Advisors.The INPO Guidelines describe the role of the STA. The STA performs independent assessments of plant operating concerns, technical support, appropriate corrective actions, analysis of events and their effects, effectiveness of response(s) to emergent conditions, classifications of emergencies, development of recommendations to protect the public, and any other actions related to critical safety functions and plant safety during abnormal and emergency situations.

By routinely monitoring equipment and plant operations, the STA can focus on preventive actions in order to mitigate the consequences of an accident and protect public health and safety.Increases in On-Shift Staffing There has been an increase in on-shift staffing from what was required in the 1981 Revision of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, in order to ensure adequate performance of the major emergency plan functions and tasks. A total of 25 persons are identified for on-shift staffing in Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, which is an increase from the total of 10 persons in the regulatory guidance provided by NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1. A comparative chart depicting on-shift and augmented staffing based on NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-01 Revision 1, the 1981 version of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, Revision 36.0 of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan, and proposed revisions are included in Enclosure 9.Enhancements in Information Sharing with Offsite Agencies There has been a dramatic increase in the ability of the site to share event-specific information with Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) from the one-to-one telephone systems at the time E7-1 8 Enclosure 7 to NL-16-0169 Hatch Staffing -Detailed Description and Technical Evaluation of the 1981 Revision of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan. Real-time plant data is communicated to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission using the approved Emergency Response Data System (ERDS). Additionally, local OROs are provided real-time data with automated methods (currently Web EOC). These enhancements provide more timely and accurate information of actual plant conditions than was originally available.

Improvement Summary The improvements to staffing, equipment, procedures, communication of plant information, and training since initial approval of the HNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Emergency Plan have resulted in a significant increase in on-shift capabilities and knowledge.

The ERO maintains the depth and capability for continuous 24-hour coverage of the Emergency Response for a protracted period.Summary Based on overall improvements in technology, procedures, training, and staffing levels available to ERO since the original implementation of the guidance contained in NUREG-0654/FEMA REP-Ol Revision 1, the proposed Emergency Response Organization is capable of implementing the Emergency Plan in accordance with the requirements of 10 CER 47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.E7-19
