Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Report of Changes to Emergency Plan and Summary of 50.54(q) Analysis Enclosure 1 Description of Emergency Plan Changes and Summary of 50.54(q) Analysis to NL-21-0484 SNC 50.54(q) Summary of Analysis Description of Emergency Plan Changes and Summary of 50.54(q) Analysis On April 15th, 2021, Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Units 1 and 2 implemented changes to the emergency plan implementing procedures for the FNP emergency classification scheme.

The procedures were updated to align with the language developed in Emergency Preparedness Frequently Asked Question (EPFAQ) 2016-002. Specifically, the changes incorporated revisions to the definition of VISIBLE DAMAGE and corresponding clarification notes to initiating conditions (ICs) CA6 and SA9. Additional clarification language was added to SU7 and the Fission Product Barrier Matrix. These updates have no negative impact on the affected Emergency Action Levels (EALs) and the requirements defined in the SNC Standard Emergency Plan or the FNP Emergency Plan Annex.

SNC has written 50.54(q) evaluations for these changes and has concluded that the changes do not result in a reduction in effectiveness. The SNC Standard Emergency Plan, FNP Emergency Plan, and the FNP EAL implementing procedures continue to meet the requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).
