THE NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT EMERGENCY PLAN FOR COOPER NUCLEAR STATION Introduction The Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) is a one-unit Boiling Water Reactor power station rated at 778 Mw(e) operated by the Nebraska Public Power District. The station is located on the west bank of the Missouri River between the towns of Brownville and Nemaha, Nebraska. Cooper Nuclear Station has been in commercial operation since July 1974.

This Emergency Plan: (1) describes the organization formed to manage emergency situations; (2) provides the mechanism to classify emergencies according to severity of consequences; (3) defines and assigns functional responsibilities for emergency response actions; (4) outlines courses-of-action and protective measures to mitigate the consequences of an accident and to safeguard station personnel and the public; and (5) presents a general post-emergency plan and District organization for restoring the plant to normal operating status. Detailed implementing procedures for specific emergency actions during an incident are contained in the Cooper Nuclear Station Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

This Emergency Plan establishes the policies and practices involving the Nebraska Public Power District in the unlikely event of an emergency at the Cooper Nuclear Station. Additions, deletions, or modifications to this Emergency Plan must be reviewed by the Station Operations Review Committee and approved by the Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance before such changes can be incorporated. The Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance has overall authority and responsibility for radiological emergency response planning at CNS.

The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for the Nebraska Public Power District emergency response activities are the documents which implement the requirements of this plan. Additions, deletions, or modifications to the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are made in accordance with the CNS Administrative Procedures.

Copies of this Plan and the implementing documents shall be issued via a system of controlled distribution which will assure that all copies remain current.

Rev 46 vi

1.0 Definitions The following are definitions of terms commonly used in the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Emergency Plan.

1.1 Alternate Emergency Operations Facility (AEOF) -the offsite emergency response facility which is a backup for the nearsite Emergency Operations Facility. The AEOF is located within the Nemaha County Multiplex Building in Auburn, Nebraska.

1.2 Annual - once during every calendar year.

1.3 Assessment Actions - actions taken during or after an emergency to obtain and process information necessary to determine the character and magnitude of the emergency and specific corrective emergency measures.

1.4 Class "A" Dose Assessment Model - a dose assessment computer code which utilizes actual 15 minute average meteorological data from the meteorological instrumentation maintained by the licensee or from alternate meteorological sources. This model provides calculations of relative concentrations and transit times within the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The output from a Class A model typically includes the plume dimensions and position, and the location, magnitude, and arrival time of (1) the peak relative concentration, and (2) the relative concentrations at appropriate locations.

1.5 Control Room - the Control Room, operating under the direction of the Shift Manager, is the primary point from which station conditions are monitored and controlled. It is the point where many corrective actions are taken to mitigate an emergency and where the initial assessment and classification of an emergency are made.

1.6 Corrective Actions - measures taken to reduce the severity of, or terminate an emergency at or near the source of the problem; to prevent an uncontrolled release of radioactive material; or to reduce the magnitude of the radioactive release.

1.7 Emergencv Action Levels - parameter thresholds or sets of conditions used to classify an emergency. These parameters or conditions are indicators of the severity or potential severity of the emergency.

1.8 Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) - the nearsite emergency response facility which is the focal point for overall NPPD management of an emergency at CNS, and coordination of offsite radiological emergency operations. When activated, the EOF is under the direction of the EOF Director, who is responsible for maintaining continued coordination with governmental authorities regarding radiological consequences of an incident.

1.9 Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) - defined area established around CNS for which emergency planning is set forth in detail. These are the areas in which the potential need for protective action(s) is recognized and addressed. The two EPZs are defined as the plume exposure pathway and ingestion exposure pathway.

1.10 Information Authentication Center - that portion of the JIC and EOF where information concerning the emergency is gathered, coordinated, and disseminated.

Rev 46 1-1

1.11 Ingestion Exposure Pathway - the pathway through which principal exposure would be from the ingestion of contaminated water, milk, or food. The ingestion exposure pathway is referred to as the 50-mile EPZ since it includes the area within a 50-mile radius of CNS.

1.12 Joint Information Center (JIG) -the offsite emergency response facility which is the prime location for coordinating news media releases of information concerning the emergency between Utility, State, and Federal representatives. Employee information and rumor control activities are also conducted from this location.

1.13 Local Emerzencv Response Plans - plans for local governmental response to radiological emergencies at CNS by Nemaha, Otoe, and Richardson counties in Nebraska and Atchison county in Missouri.

1.14 Operational Support Center (OSC) - the onsite emergency response facility from which emergency repair teams, monitoring teams, damage control teams, inplant assignments, or other emergency response activities are coordinated and dispatched. The OSC is under the direction of the OSC Supervisor.

1.15 Plume Exposure Pathwav - the pathway through which principal exposure is by whole body exposure to gamma radiation (from the plume and deposited materials) and inhalation exposure (from the passing radioactive plume). The time of potential exposure could range in length from minutes to days. The dimensions of the plume exposure planning zone are depicted in Appendix C and is also referred to as the 10-mile EPZ.

1.16 Process Radiation Monitoring System - instrumentation designed to detect abnormal radiation levels and to activate appropriate alarms and controls for process and effluent plant system pathways.

1.17 Protective Actions - actions taken to prevent or minimize radiological exposure. These may include in-house shelter, evacuation, respiratory protection, and thyroid blocking.

1.18 Protective Action Guides - the projected radiological dose which warrants protective action to minimize exposure to radioactive material. (

Reference:

"Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" as revised May 1992, EPA 400-R-92-001) 1.19 Recovery Actions - post-emergency assessment, planning, resource allocation and corrective actions taken to restore the station as nearly as possible to its pre-emergency condition.

1.20 State Emergencv Response Plans - plans for the States of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas responding to radiological emergencies at CNS. Each plan sets forth specific responsibilities and procedures for emergency agencies responsible for offsite emergency operations and the protection of the affected population.

Rev 46 1-2

1.21 Technical Support Center (TSC) - the onsite emergency response facility which provides space and equipment for emergency response personnel to monitor station conditions, analyze problems, and provide technical guidance and assistance to the Control Room, OSC, and EOF. It also contains technical documents and drawings and is the focal point for onsite corrective action implementation during an emergency. This facility is under the direction of the TSC Director.

Rev 46 1-3

2.0 Scope and Applicability The Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Emergency Plan for CNS provides the mechanism to classify various types of emergencies and provides prior planning of emergency preparedness implementation actions. It delineates organized functions and responsibilities for the control and mitigation of an emergency to assure maximum protection of the public, station personnel, and plant equipment. This plan delineates responsibilities and actions to be taken by station, general office personnel, and other agencies during emergencies.

The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) designate responsibilities and define actions to be taken by assigned personnel in order to reduce or confine the consequences of an emergency. Appendix A provides the titles and summaries of the EPIPs.

The NPPD Emergency Plan interfaces with several State and Local Emergency Response Plans for areas that comprise the CNS Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs). Within the Nebraska portion of the 10-mile EPZ this Plan interfaces with the Nemaha County, Richardson County, and State of Nebraska Radiological Response Plans, as well as the Reception Area Plans for Otoe and Richardson Counties. Within the Missouri portion of the 10-mile EPZ, this plan interfaces with the Atchison County Nuclear Emergency Response Plan, State of Missouri Nuclear Accident Plan, and the Nodaway County Reception and Care Plan. For the 50-mile Ingestion Pathway EPZ, the NPPD plan interfaces with the Radiological Response Plans of the states of Iowa and Kansas, as well as those of Nebraska and Missouri. In the event of a radiological emergency, the state and local agencies are responsible for coordinating their efforts in dealing with radiological concerns beyond the CNS site boundaries.

In addition to state and local support, federal agencies may also provide assistance in accordance with the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP), i.e., Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE),

Coast Guard, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The NRC, assuming the position of the Lead Federal Agency, shall coordinate the Federal response.

The protection of the health and safety of the general public is the prime concern; accordingly, the appropriate Local, State, and Federal Agencies will be supported by NPPD to the fullest extent practical.

Rev 46 2-1

3.0 Summary of the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) CNS Emergencv Plan Nuclear power plant emergency plans are required to fulfill the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47 and Appendix E. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is required to determine the adequacy of the licensee Emergency Plan. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is required to determine the adequacy of State and Local plans. Together the two agencies determine the adequacy of overall emergency preparedness.

The CNS Emergency Plan has been structured with NRC and FEMA guidance contained in NUREG-0654 (FEMA-REP-1), "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, November 1980. Appendix B of this plan provides a cross-index of the CNS Emergency Plan to NUREG-0654.

The plan delineates the organization for emergencies, provides the methodology for classifying emergencies according to severity, defines and assigns responsibilities and authorities, and outlines measures to mitigate the consequences of an accident and minimize effects on the health and safety of the public and station personnel. In addition, the plan presents a general approach and organization for station recovery.

Radiological emergency planning for CNS has been coordinated with state and local emergency response agencies. The States of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas, as well as the appropriate local government agencies which would be involved in emergency response operations, are aware of the emergency response measures described in the CNS Emergency Plan and will be advised of changes or modifications to these measures resulting from plan reviews and audits.

The CNS Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is responsible for onsite emergency operations and for maintaining a continuous flow of accurate radiological and station status information to offsite emergency authorities.

Sections of the Emergency Plan in the balance of this document detail the emergency preparedness program. The contents of those sections are summarized below:

  • Section 4.0 - Emergency Conditions - describes emergency classifications, initiating events, Emergency Actions Levels and corresponding NPPD and State and Local actions in response to each emergency classification. Emergency Action Levels and corresponding actions noted are based upon design and operating characteristics specific to CNS and upon NRC guidance for boiling water reactors as contained in Appendix I to NUREG-0654, Rev. I and NRC Emergency Preparedness Position Paper (EPPOS-1).
  • Section 5.0 - Organizational Control of Emergencies - describes the function and responsibilities of the CNS emergency response organization. Interfaces with offsite emergency agencies are defined and specified. This section also defines the specific assignments of personnel and identifies local and contract support service arrangements.
  • Section 6.0 - Emergencv Measures - describes the activation of the emergency response organization, assessment of plant conditions, initiation of protective and corrective actions onsite, recommendation of protective actions offsite, and measures to aid injured or contaminated personnel.

Rev 46 3-1

  • Section 7.0 - Emergency Response Facilities and Equipment - describes facilities, emergency response equipment, and communications systems (onsite and offsite) available to assess emergency conditions, support emergency operations, notify offsite support agencies, provide aid to injured or contaminated personnel, and to control and mitigate incident-related damage.
  • Section 8.0 - Maintaining Emergencv Preparedness - describes the Emergency Preparedness Department and Emergency Preparedness Training Program, emergency drills and exercises, methods to review and update the Emergency Plan, and the process to maintain an adequate inventory of emergency equipment and supplies. This section also outlines methods used to provide emergency preparedness information to the general public.
  • Section 9.0 - Recovery - defines, in general terms, post-emergency reentry and recovery plans and organization. Recovery operations are divided into short-term activities, which are conducted during and immediately after an emergency, and long-term recovery activities, which comprise the more involved post-emergency efforts to return the station to a normal operating status.
  • Appendix A contains summaries of each EPIP and a cross reference to the appropriate section of the CNS Emergency Plan.
  • Appendix C contains maps and other references which depict evacuation routes, environmental sampling points, population distribution, etc. as defined in NUREG-0654, (Rev. 1) Section J.10.(a) and (b).
  • Appendix D contains a listing of the Letters of Agreement maintained with offsite support agencies. The Emergency Plan signature page verifies that current Letters of Agreement are maintained in the Emergency Preparedness files as specified in Appendix D.
  • Appendix E contains a list of supplies and emergency equipment typical of the inventory kept in the emergency response equipment lockers and storage areas.
  • Appendix F contains a listing of the interfacing emergency response plans of the various Local, State, and Federal Support Agencies.

Rev 46 3-2

4.0 Emergencv Conditions The types of emergencies considered in the CNS Emergency Plan are classified into four categories as recommended in Emergency Action Level Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plants, Appendix 1,NUREG-0654, Rev. I and modified by NRC Emergency Preparedness Position Paper Number I (EPPOS-I). The initiating conditions of NUREG-0654, Appendix 1,as well as the postulated accidents described in Chapter XIV of the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS)

Updated Safety Analysis Report, have been considered in developing the criteria presented in Section 4.1. Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 provide specific Emergency Action Levels. Emergency Action Levels and corresponding classifications are included in EPIP 5.7.1, "Emergency Classification."

Each successive classification is more severe. This classification system results in responses that are both timely and appropriate for a wide range of emergency conditions.

There are three principal advantages of the graded classification system:

I. To assure timely notification of particular events which could lead to significant consequences should events continue to deteriorate, which might be indicative of more serious conditions not fully appreciated at the time of discovery.

2. To provide an assessment of the actual or likely implications of the event which can be clearly communicated to various affected parties during the early stages of the event.
3. To provide a means for setting in motion appropriate, prearranged, near-term emergency actions by affected parties.

The initiating conditions of NUREG-0654, Appendix 1, Rev.1, as wvell as the postulated accidents described in Chapter XIV of the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Updated Safety Analysis Report, have been considered in developing the criteria presented in Section 4.1.

Tables 4.1-1 through 4.14 provide specific Emergency Action Levels. Emergency Action Levels and corresponding classifications are included in EPIP 5.7.1, "Emergency Classification."

4.1 Classifications The four classifications of emergencies are:

1. NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT
2. ALERT
3. SITE AREA EMERGENCY
4. GENERAL EMERGENCY The fundamental logic connecting the four classifications of emergencies is to provide an escalating gradation of events related to the severity of their consequences.

Section 5.0 of the CNS Emergency Plan provides a description of the portions of the Emergency Response Organization which will be activated in the event of a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT, ALERT, SITE AREA EMERGENCY, or GENERAL EMERGENCY.

Rev 46 4-1

4.1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT This classification consists of events in the process of occurring, or which have occurred, that indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the station. These types of events may progress to a more severe emergency classification if they are not mitigated. Therefore, appropriate offsite agencies will be notified of such events in order to be better prepared for response if the event should progress to a more severe classification. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

The purpose of this classification and its associated offsite notifications is to assure that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been initiated. This brings the operating staff into a state of readiness, and provides a systematic handling of information and decision-making. These conditions may not be particularly significant from an emergency or safety standpoint, but have the potential to increase in significance from a safety standpoint if proper action is not taken or if circumstances beyond the control of the operating staff render the situation more serious. Upon declaration of a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT, key onsite personnel, as well as specified management within NPPD will be notified (see Section 7.4). The NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT is maintained until the event is terminated or an escalation to a more severe emergency class is required.

Table 4.1-1 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-5 lists expected actions for the NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT classification.

4.1.2 ALERT The ALERT classification is comprised of events which are in progress, or have occurred, that involve an actual or potentially substantial degradation of the safety level of the station. At this classification, minor releases of radioactivity may occur or may have occurred. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.

Operator modification of station operating status is a probable corrective action if such modification has not already been accomplished by automatic protection systems.

Upon declaration of an ALERT, notifications will be made (see Section 7.4).

Notifying offsite agencies at an ALERT classification assures emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious, or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring, if required. The TSC, EOF, and OSC are manned and activated at the declaration of an ALERT.

The ALERT status is maintained until the event is downgraded, terminated, or escalated to a more severe emergency class.

Table 4.1-2 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-6 lists expected actions for the ALERT classification.

Rev 46 4-2

4.1.3 SITE AREA EMERGENCY A SITE AREA EMERGENCY classification is comprised of events that are in progress, or have occurred, which involve actual or potential major failure of plant functions needed for protection of the public. The SITE AREA EMERGENCY reflects conditions where there is a clear potential for significant releases of radioactive material, or such releases are in progress, but a core meltdown is not indicated based on current information. Releases are not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines, except near the site boundary.

Upon declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY, non-ERO personnel are evacuated, monitoring teams are dispatched, offsite authorities are apprised of the emergency, the JIC is manned and activated, and periodic updates to the public are provided.

The SITE AREA EMERGENCY status is maintained until the event is downgraded, terminated, or escalated to a GENERAL EMERGENCY.

Table 4.1-3 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-7 lists expected actions for the SITE AREA EMERGENCY classification.

4.1.4 GENERAL EMERGENCY A GENERAL EMERGENCY is comprised of events which are in progress, or have occurred, that involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with a potential for the loss of containment integrity. The GENERAL EMERGENCY reflects conditions that may affect the general public. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. The GENERAL EMERGENCY declaration initiates predetermined protective actions for the public, provides information to the appropriate state, local, and federal authorities, initiates additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, provides for coordination with offsite authorities, and provides periodic updates for the public.

Upon declaration of a GENERAL EMERGENCY, an automatic minimum protective action recommendation of evacuation for a 2-mile radius and 5 miles downwind, unless conditions make evacuation dangerous, and advise remainder of plume EPZ to go indoors to monitor EAS broadcasts, will be made to state or local authorities. If conditions make evacuation dangerous, sheltering may be recommended as alternative protective action. Consider recommending evacuation of extended distances if conditions dictate.

The GENERAL EMERGENCY status is maintained until the event is downgraded or terminated.

Table 4.1-4 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4. 1-8 lists expected actions for the GENERAL EMERGENCY classification.

Rev 46 4-3

4.2 Offsite Radiological Assessment The station will perform a preliminary assessment of the offsite consequences of an emergency. This preliminary assessment includes estimation by analytical methods of radiation dose rate, projected integrated dose for sectors and downwind distances, and a determination of the appropriate emergency classification.

The primary method for determining the radioactive release rate uses monitored release points. Effluent radiation monitor readings are available for the Elevated Release Point, Turbine Building Vent, Reactor Building Vent, and Radwaste/Augmented Radwaste Building Vents.

The elevated release point release rate can be determined by correlating the exposure rates on high range radiation monitors in the drywell to those which have been calculated assuming a Design Basis Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). The LOCA calculations are based on the NUREG-0737 assumptions that of the maximum full power equilibrium isotopic inventories, 100% of the noble gases, 25% of the halogens, and 1% of the remaining particulates are instantaneously released to the atmosphere of the primary containment. The entire release is assumed to be through the standby gas treatment system and out the elevated release point. Other methods may be used as described in EPIP 5.7.16.

The dose rate and integrated dose are based on duration of release, release rates, meteorological data, and atmospheric dispersion factors.

The radioiodine concentration is obtained by multiplying the radioiodine release rate by the dispersion factor. The Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) is determined by multiplying the air concentration by the exposure time and then by the dose conversion factor.

The noble gas concentration is obtained by multiplying the noble gas release rate by the dispersion factor. The Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) is determined by multiplying the air concentration by the exposure time and then by the appropriate dose conversion factor.

Upon activation of the EOF and the State Emergency Operations Centers, the affected state assumes primary responsibility for confirmatory and continuing offsite radiological assessment. This is accomplished by dispatching state field monitoring teams and by analyzing data provided by the CNS field teams. CNS will deploy field monitoring teams for initial offsite monitoring prior to the arrival of responding state monitoring teams.

These CNS teams may remain in the field to assist the state field monitoring teams.

4.3 Spectrum of Possible Accidents and Initiating Events A number of accident scenarios which might occur at CNS have been analyzed in Chapter XIV of the CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report for both severity of consequence and probability of occurrence. These types of accidents reflect the design characteristics of a Boiling Water Reactor and are addressed in Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 and in EPIP 5.7.1 from the standpoint of initiating conditions, Emergency Action Levels, and subsequent emergency classification.

5.0 Organizational Control of Emergencies In the event of an emergency, NPPD has both the normal operating organization (on-shift Control Room staff) and an organization specifically designed to augment them. The Emergency Response Organization may, depending upon the classification of the accident, range from the normal operating staff to a comprehensive emergency force composed of onsite, general office, state and local support, and contract personnel.

This section of the Emergency Plan describes the normal on-shift Operating organization, the Emergency Response Organization, other support available, and the governmental agencies responsible for dealing with offsite emergency conditions. Post-emergency station recovery plans are presented in Section 9.0. A general overview of the Nuclear Power Group Organization is described in the USAR.

5.1 Normal Operating Organization Direct operation and control of the Nuclear Power Plant is the responsibility of the on-duty Operations crew, operating out of the Control Room. The normal operating crew is staffed and qualified to perform all actions necessary to institute immediate protective measures and to implement the Emergency Plan. The composition and relationship of the Control Room crew (Normal Operating Organization) is depicted in Figure 5.2-1.

5.1.1 Lines of authority 5.1.1.1 The Shift Manager is the senior licensed individual on the operating crew. The Shift Manager must hold a Senior Reactor Operator's license.

5.1.1.2 If the Shift Manager is incapacitated the Control Room Supervisor assumes the Shift Manager role. The Control Room Supervisor must also hold a Senior Reactor Operator's license.

5.1.1.3 Reactor Operators (Control Room Operators) report to the Control Room Supervisor. Reactor Operators must hold a Reactor Operator's license 5.1.1.4 Station Operators function under the direction of Reactor Operators or the Control Room Supervisor. Station Operators do not require a license.

5.1.1.5 The Chem/RP Technician reports to the Shift Manager.

5.1.1.6 The Shift Technical Engineer reports to the Shift Manager.

5.1.2 Responsibilities/Functions 5.1.2.1 The Shift Manager is the individual, on-shift at all times, vested with the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate any emergency actions, including protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for Rev 46 5-1

implementing off-site emergency measures. Upon declaration of an emergency the Shift Manager becomes the site Emergency Director. The Emergency Director is responsible for, and may not delegate, classifying emergencies, ensuring notifications are made to off-site authorities, and recommending protective actions to off-site authorities.

The Shift Manager is responsible for providing guidance and support to the operating crew. He will ensure that there is an adequate staff to perform the required operational functions and be responsible for ensuring proper communications from the Control Room to the TSC, OSC, and EOF. In conjunction with key technical personnel, he will also assess station operations and ensure recommended corrective actions are given adequate consideration. He wvill also control and monitor station conditions, take corrective actions to mitigate or terminate the incident, stabilize the plant, and minimize accident consequences. Upon entry into Severe Accident Guidelines, the Shift Manager shall take direction for accident mitigation from the Operations Coordinator in the TSC.

Upon activation of the EOF the on-call Emergency Director will relieve the Shift Manager of Emergency Director duties.

5.1.2.2 The Control Room Supervisor (CRS) directs the activities of the Control Room Operators and Station Operators in response to normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures. The CRS functions as the primary command and control interface between the SS and other Operations Shift personnel.

5.1.2.3 Reactor Operators (Control Room Operators) are responsible for the safe operation of the reactor and balance of plant.

5.1.2.4 Station Operators are responsible to the Control Room Supervisor.

Station Operators perform functions in the plant such as equipment monitoring, log keeping, equipment operation, and tag-outs.

5.1.2.5 The Chem/RP Technician is responsible for providing advice and assistance to the crew regarding radiological issues. This position has primary responsibility for performing Dose Assessment on-shift.

5.1.2.6 The Shift Technical Engineer serves in an advisory capacity to the Shift Manager in the diagnosis of off-normal events, transients, and accident situations The Shift Technical Engineer functions to provide an independent assessment of the operation and response of the plant The STE may perform other functions as assigned, so long as they do not interfere with this oversight role.

Rev 46 5-2

Upon declaration of an emergency (Alert or higher), two additional positions become available to the Control Room. They are part of the ERO (described below) but function from the Control Room, therefore are described here.

5.1.2.7 The Technical Communicator provides a flow of technical data to the Ops/EOP Advisors in the TSC and EOF, and the Technical Communicator in the OSC.

5.1.2.8 The Control Room Logkeeper maintains an accurate log of important Control Room activities.

5.2 Emergency Response Organization Key elements of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) at CNS are depicted in Figures 5.2-2, 5.2-3, and 5.2-4.

Emergency Response Organization (ERO) positions in the TSC, OSC, and EOF, along with functions for these facilities are summarized in the following paragraphs. Sufficient personnel have been designated to assure that functional responsibilities are maintained for continuous 24-hour operation . The Emergency Response Organization roster is maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Department.

The Emergency Response Organization operates from the Control Room and the following onsite Emergency Response Facilities. These CNS emergency response facilities will be activated within approximately one (1) hour following the declaration of an Alert or higher.

  • Operational Support Center or alternate
  • Emergency Operations Facility The Emergency Response Organization is supported by the following offsite Emergency Response facilities as necessary:
  • Alternate Emergency Operations Facility
  • Joint Information Center The TSC, EOF, and OSC will be manned and activated at the declaration of an ALERT or higher level emergency. The JIC may be placed on standby during an ALERT, and will be manned and activated upon the declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY.

Rev 46 5-3

In all accident classifications, the Emergency Director is in charge of the Emergency Response Organization. The Emergency Director is assigned the authority and responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate emergency response actions. The Emergency Director may not delegate the following:

  • Event Declaration,
  • The decision to notify authorities responsible for offsite emergency measures and,
  • Recommend protective actions to authorities responsible for offsite emergency measures.

Under a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT all emergency response functions will usually be conducted from the Control Room by the on-shift Operating organization described in section 5.1. At an ALERT, the TSC, EOF, and OSC will be activated and will provide further management, technical, and craft support. At a SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY the JIC is activated and will have the additional support of the Public Affairs Director.

The authorities and responsibilities of each position are as follows:

5.2.1 Emergency Director The Emergency Director is in command of the NPPD Emergency Response Organization. His/her responsibilities are as follows:

  • Verify that the NPPD onsite and offsite emergency response functions are being performed in a timely manner.
  • Ensure that adequate technical and logistical support is available to the station organization.
  • Ensure continuity of emergency response resources.

All emergency actions which may involve exposures exceeding occupational exposure limits must be approved by the Emergency Director.

The Emergency Director provides management expertise to the emergency organization and may initially report to the Control Room instead of the EOF.

As the situation warrants he may relocate to any onsite facility to confer with members of the various emergency response organizations. The Emergency Director will be supported by the following positions:

5.2.2 TSC Director The TSC Director is in charge of TSC functions and activities. His/her primary responsibility is to maintain command and control in the TSC to provide technical assistance and recommendations to the Control Room.

The primary function of the TSC staff is to augment Control Room efforts to manage the plant emergency by:

5.3.3 Contract Support Rev 46 5-11

In addition to General Office support, the CNS Emergency Response Organization may draw on outside support. Letters of Agreement with organizations which may provide assistance to NPPD are listed in Appendix D.

A brief description of this contract support is provided below.

5.3.3.1 Manpower and Equipment Augmentation The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, as an organization serving the nuclear industry, has organized a response plan for nuclear power plant emergencies. Manpower and equipment may be requested from institute members to augment onsite capabilities.

5.3.3.2 Technical Support The General Electric Company has organized a Boiling Water Reactor Emergency Support Program. This program provides for an Emergency Response Team composed of personnel with appropriate technical disciplines, which will report to NPPD upon request. A Technical Support Team is also established at General Electric Nuclear Headquarters in San Jose, California.

Communications between the CNS Emergency Response Organization and General Electric will enhance technical assistance to the station.

In the event CNS needs additional technical support, NPPD has made arrangements with the following organizations:

  • Burns & Roe
  • Stone & Webster Engineering Corp.

5.3.3.3 Radiological Monitoring and Analysis Support Arrangements have been made with Omaha Public Power District's Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station to provide monitoring equipment and personnel trained to use this equipment. The Radiochemistry Laboratory at the Fort Calhoun Station is able to perform backup radioisotopic analyses of monitoring samples. If the emergency is such that more monitoring equipment and personnel are needed, resources such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations may be requested.

Emergency service is available from the current dosimetry vendor which includes extra dosimetry, instrumentation, and technical 5.4 Participating Federal, State and Local Agencies Rev 46 5-12

Figure 5.4-1 depicts the interrelationships among some of the various State and Federal organizations, which may respond to an emergency at CNS.

Offsite monitoring and assessment activities will be coordinated at the EOF. The General Office support groups, as well as State, Local, and Federal Agencies will coordinate their efforts through the EOF (Figures 5.4-1 and 5.4-2). The NRC onsite effort may be coordinated through the TSC or EOF, whichever is appropriate. The affected states may send liaison representatives to the EOF to aid in the coordination effort.

5.4.1 The State of Nebraska In the State of Nebraska, the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency, under the Nebraska Adjutant General, is the lead planning agency for developing radiological emergency plans for fixed nuclear facilities. On receipt of information indicating the need for state and local government response, a disaster emergency condition will be declared by the Governor and the State Emergency Operations Center will be activated. State agencies having responsibilities under the Nebraska State Radiological Emergency Response Plan for nuclear power plant incidents will be notified and kept informed of the progress of the emergency as discussed in that Plan.

A Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) will be designated by the Governor. The GAR will coordinate activities of state agencies responding to the emergency. The GAR will also be a point of contact for decisions involving implementation of protective actions as recommended by the Emergency Director.

The Nebraska State Emergency Operations Center will be the principal point of contact with the Emergency Operations Centers of adjacent states. As conditions warrant, the state EOC command and control functions may be carried out from other designated facilities.

A Nebraska Health & Human Services Regulation and Licensure (HHSRL) representative will be at the Field Command Post or the EOF. Acting in coordination with NPPD Management and other agencies, he/she is responsible to perform initial state assessment of the health hazard to include development of recommendations for initiation of protective actions. This individual or representative will also coordinate the activities of the state radiological monitoring teams and advise the Governor's Authorized Representative and local governments as to health hazards of the incident.

Radiological monitoring will be conducted by both CNS field monitoring personnel and the HHSRL Radiological Monitoring Teams.

The lead agencies for the countywide emergency planning in Nemaha, Richardson, and Otoe Counties are the respective County Emergency Management Agencies/Directors. The responsibilities of various county groups are described in the appropriate annexes of the individual County Radiological Emergency Response Plans.

5.4.2 The State of Missouri Rev 46 5-13

The principal state agency for the coordination of emergency response in the State of Missouri is the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). SEMA coordinates actions, operations, and resources involving response required to support decisions affecting the emergency. The Missouri Division of Health, through the Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology, is responsible for all decisions affecting protective responses, dose, dose commitment during the emergency, and recovery in the emergency area.

In the event of an emergency, communications between CNS and the Division of Health is maintained in order to confirm measurements and estimates of possible offsite consequences and to keep the State EOC informed of the status of the emergency.

Emergency response and support operations will be initiated through decisions made jointly by the Director, SEMA, and the Director, Division of Health or their duly appointed representatives, or on request of affected governmental officials. In the event of an emergency, which may present an offsite hazard to the public, the State Emergency Operations Center at Jefferson City will be activated in accordance with the State Emergency Operations Plan.

A representative of the state may be dispatched to the EOF. He will have direct communications with the Forward Command Post to provide accurate and timely information to state and local response forces. Atchison County authorities are notified through the Atchison County Sheriff's Department that is notified by NPPD or by SEMA. The response from these authorities is more fully detailed in the Atchison County Nuclear Emergency Response Plan.

5.4.3 The States of Kansas/Iowa The States of Kansas and Iowa may also play an active role in responding to an emergency at CNS. While neither state is within the 10 mile EPZ, they are located within the 50 mile Ingestion Exposure Pathway. As such, NPPD will maintain liaison with the appropriate officials of these states and provide information and recommendations as the situation dictates.

More detailed information can be found in the Emergency Response Plan of each respective state.

5.4.4 Nuclear Regulatory Commission The NRC regulates nuclear activities to protect the health and safety of the public and to preserve environmental quality and has developed an Incident Response Plan to ensure that its statutory responsibilities are fulfilled.

The responsibilities assigned by the NRC plan are exercised through a set of implementing procedures that delineate the manner in which each function will be performed, the criteria to be used in making each decision, and the information needed for both.

Rev 46 5-14

When NPPD notifies the NRC of an emergency, the initial NRC response is to ascertain the status of the station and monitor emergency response activities to assure that the public and the environment are fully protected. The NRC will measure offsite radiological effects and develop projections of onsite and offsite effects for the use of other federal, state, and local agencies. The NRC may offer specific advice to NPPD to help solve or limit the consequences of the problem. The NRC is prepared to amend or change CNS Technical Specifications or to issue formal orders if NPPD should fail to take whatever actions the NRC deems necessary to protect the public.

The Chairman of the Commission is the senior NRC authority for all aspects of emergency response and will become the "Director" of all NRC activities and personnel.

Normally the Chairman will delegate responsibilities to a "Deputy Director" upon activation of the Operations Center. The Deputy Director will carry out the delegated responsibilities unless the Chairman specifically directs otherwise. Together, the Director and Deputy Director assure that preplanned actions commence and identify other necessary actions unique to the particular incident. Headquarters and region teams will carry out these actions.

The Director may appoint an NRC "Director of Site Operations" as soon as a qualified official arrives at the site, assesses the situation, and reports back to the Director. The Director may also delegate one or more of the following authorities to the Director of Site Operations:

1. Authority to recommend actions to the licensee.
2. Authority to direct the licensee to take specific actions.
3. Authority to recommend actions off site, including protective measures for the public.

Other officials and organizations will be immediately informed of the appointment and delegated authority. The Director of Site Operations will assume supervision of all NRC personnel at the site, will represent the NRC in interactions with other agencies, and will decide what response actions must be taken, consistent with the delegated authority.

6.0 Emergency Measures Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) emergency measures will be conducted in accordance with the particular emergency classification at Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS). This section of the plan (1) discusses emergency alarms and evacuation, (2) identifies segments of the station emergency organization that will be activated at each class of emergency, (3) details methods and procedures for assessment actions, (4) specifies actions to correct or minimize the emergency situation, (5) describes protective actions to prevent or minimize radiological exposure, and (6) discusses aid to affected personnel.

6.1 Site Emergencv Alarms When an emergency condition exists that could affect the safety of station personnel the appropriate alarm will be manually activated and an announcement made from control room. If the condition involves a fire, the fire alarm will be activated and designated personnel will respond. If the condition results in an emergency declaration, the emergency alarm will be activated and an announcement made.

The condition of the emergency will dictate what directions will be given during the announcement. Site security personnel may assist in notification of personnel on NPPD property.

6.2 Notification and Activation of Emergencv Response Organizations The four classes of emergencies defined in Section 4.0 require a varying degree and scope of emergency response. The appropriate parts of the emergency response organization activated in each emergency classification are presented in Section 5.0.

The transition from the normal operating organization to the emergency response organization involves the following steps:

  • Notify the emergency response organization members who are offsite, or are onsite but may not be aware of the emergency, that their assistance is required.
  • Fill emergency response positions on an interim basis with personnel who are immediately available at the time of the emergency.
  • Fill positions in the emergency organization with ERO members as they arrive at the various emergency response facilities.

6.2.1 Onsite Plant Personnel Plant personnel onsite are notified by an emergency alarm and announcement as described in Section 6.1 and EPIP 5.7.2.

6.2.2 Offsite Plant Personnel Plant personnel (ERO) offsite are notified in accordance with EPIP 5.7.2. This is normally accomplished via the CNS Automated Notification System. A listing of telephone numbers for notification of ERO members is maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Department.

Rev 46 6-1

6.2.3 Joint Information Center (JIC)

EPIP 5.7.6, Notification, defines how General Office personnel are notified.

Depending upon the situation, the JIC may be activated. Personnel notification schemes and procedures for activating these facilities are contained in EPIP 5.7.23.

6.2.4 Offsite Authorities and Support Agencies When an emergency classification is declared, CNS will initiate predetermined notifications as defined in EPIP 5.7.6. Initial notifications to responsible state and local governmental agencies will be completed within 15 minutes of the declaration of an emergency. The contents of initial and follow-up notifications are set forth in EPIP 5.7.6, and contain information about the class of emergency, release information, potentially affected population areas, and protective action recommendations. Follow-up communications with offsite authorities will consist of periodic messages containing additional information as described in EPIP 5.7.6.

Notifications to responsible State and Local Governmental Authorities are normally accomplished via the CNS State Notification Telephone System.

Offsite authorities, as well as technical support groups likely to be consulted in an emergency, are listed in the Emergency Telephone Directory.

6.2.5 Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Notification of the NRC Operations Center for all emergency classification levels is normally accomplished via the Federal Telecommunication System Emergency Notification System (FTS-ENS) in accordance with EPIP 5.7.6.

6.3 Assessment Actions The assessment of station conditions, radiation levels, and offsite consequences is initially conducted by the Control Room. Radiological dose assessment can also be performed in the Control Room, as necessary. The Shift Manager, in the role of Emergency Director, activates the emergency response organization described in Section 5.0 per EPIP 5.7.2. Assessment actions described in Table 6.3-1 will continue throughout the emergency. These assessments may result in reclassification, which could alter emergency response actions.

CNS has systems for monitoring radioactive materials released to the environment and is equipped with process and system monitors capable of assessing radiological conditions and initiating appropriate alarms or actuating control equipment for containment of radioactive materials if preestablished limits are reached. These systems will monitor radioactive releases during accident conditions.

Rev 46 6-2

6.3.1 Post-Accident Sampling System Samples of both reactor water coolant and drywell atmosphere can be drawn using post-accident sampling system. This system allows personnel to safely take samples and conduct analyses, while keeping radiation dose to personnel within specified limits. Samples collected and analyzed will provide information, which may indicate reactor conditions such as cladding failure, effects from high fuel temperature, or fuel melting.

6.3.2 Meteorological Data The site has meteorological instrumentation, which indicates and records wind speed, wind direction, and temperature differentials on a continuous basis.

Detailed information on this system can be found in Section 7.5.2. A continuous readout of this information is available on the Plant Management Information System (PMIS). In the event that meteorological information from this primary source is unavailable, meteorological information is available from the National Weather Service.

6.3.3 Dose Assessment CNS has the capability of performing dose projections during a radiological emergency using two separate techniques:

1. CNS-DOSE: CNS-DOSE, a computerized class 'A' model, is the primary method of performing rapid dose projections (predictions) in order to develop protective action recommendations during the early accident phase within the plume exposure EPZ. The program is operated on plant computers and can make use of current meteorological and radiological effluent monitor readings as well as manually entered data.
2. Hand Calculation: A manual calculation, derived from the methodology utilized by CNS-DOSE, is the backup method for performing dose projections in order to develop protective action recommendations during the early accident phase within the plume exposure EPZ. Input data is taken from the same resources as the computerized method. Both centerline and off-centerline calculations can be performed.

Once the EOF is operational, dose projection and assessment responsibilities are transferred from the Control Room to this facility. The TSC also has the capability to perform dose assessments.

Offsite concentrations of radionuclides and radiation dose rates are determined by NPPD and State downwind survey teams. Once the EOF is operational, downwind survey teams are deployed with portable radiological instrumentation (air samplers and radiation survey meters) and communications equipment in vehicles designated for this purpose. The field instrumentation used for airborne activity monitoring has the capability to detect radioiodine concentrations as low as I.Oxl o-7 Ci/cc (microcuries per Rev 46 6-3

cubic centimeter). Field information is used to validate dose projections and to assist in determining the adequacy of protection actions.

6.4 Corrective Actions Instrumentation and Control systems monitor, provide indications and alarms, record, and automatically control systems necessary for the safe operation of the station. Control and display of information from these systems is centralized in the Control Room. Displays are also available in the TSC and EOF. This instrumentation is a source of information used to determine emergency classification as shown in Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4, and EPIP 5.7.1 (Emergency Classification), and may provide entry conditions for Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOPs), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) or Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs). AOPs, EOPs, and SAGs contain steps for preventive and/or corrective actions to avoid or mitigate consequences of an emergency.

During a declared emergency, corrective actions are performed by the ERO under the direction of the Emergency Director. These corrective actions are designed to (I) terminate the accident, (2) mitigate or eliminate potential hazards to the public and station personnel, (3) restore the plant to a safe and stable condition, and (4) de-escalate the emergency classification. Corrective actions may also involve response by the following:

  • Fire Brigade The CNS Fire Brigade xvill respond to station fire calls. The Fire Brigade is composed of the Fire Brigade Leader, twvo Station Operators, and two other individuals qualified as Fire Brigade members, in accordance with station procedures. If offsite firefighting assistance is required, an offsite Department will be requested and escorted to the fire scene by security personnel upon arrival.
  • Repair and Damage Control Team For minor emergencies, station personnel will handle cleanup, repair, and damage control. For more severe emergencies, the support of additional NPPD personnel or specialized outside contractors may be required to assist in damage control, cleanup, and repair operations.

6.5 Protective Actions Onsite actions to protect station personnel and visitors during a declared emergency are the responsibility of the Emergency Director. Measures for the protection of the general public are detailed in the State Emergency Response Plans.

Protective actions for onsite personnel will be taken whenever a radiological emergency has occurred, or may occur, which might result in concentrations of airborne activity or radiation levels in excess of pre-determined limits. Protective actions will also be taken for onsite personnel in other emergency situations such as fires, floods, tornadoes, or security related events where personnel safety is threatened. Activation of Emergency Response Facilities, assembly and accountability activities, and evacuation of site personnel may be delayed if it is determined by the Emergency Director that personnel Rev 46 6-4

safety would be threatened. In this situation, onsite personnel will be notified of these events by the station alarms, telephone calls, or public address system announcements, as applicable. Personnel will be notified of appropriate protective actions to be taken as soon as assessment actions permit a proper evaluation of conditions.

Following the instructions and using the procedures referenced in EPIP 5.7.20, the Radiological Control Manager will determine if the projected downwind doses indicate a need to implement any type of protective actions. If the results of the analysis indicate a need to implement protective actions, he will inform the Emergency Director of his findings and together they will decide if protective action recommendations are warranted.

The Emergency Director will provide protective action recommendations to offsite authorities. Protective actions for offsite areas are implemented by state and local government emergency response organizations. These actions may include evacuation or in-house shelter. Factors such as release duration, mobilization time, or adverse weather will be important considerations affecting protective actions. The action which affords the lower radiation dose is preferred. Approximate initiation times for protective actions are shown in Table 6.4-2.

Within the Plume Exposure Pathway, an Alert and Notification System has been installed. Residents of this EPZ have been instructed to tune to their local Emergency Alert System radio station for further instructions when the Alert and Notification System is activated. This system was established to meet the prompt notification requirements established by the NRC and was designed for response to any disaster where prompt notification of the public is desirable. The design basis and rationales for the Alert and Notification System is in the Alert and Notification Design Report. Details pertaining to physical and administrative controls of this system are also found in this document.

The Alert and Notification System includes fixed sirens and tone activated National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / Emergency Alert System (NOAA/EAS)

Radio Receivers. These tone-activated radio receivers are made available to residences located within the Plume Exposure Pathway, but outside the hearing range of the fixed sirens. The radios are pre-tuned to an EAS station and are automatically activated when the EAS is activated. Special use or remote area notification is discussed in the CNS Alert and Notification Design Report. State and local plans have provisions for notifying the transient population within the Plume Exposure Pathway.

EPIP 5.7.27 describes how the system will be activated in the event of an emergency.

Local and/or state governments are responsible for implementation of notification/warning actions. Normally, public warning information will be disseminated as directed by the Governor or his Authorized Representative. However, the notification system provides for local government decision and initiation of notification/warning actions, especially in the event of a major nuclear power plant incident. Local governments may make decisions based on the recommendations of NPPD management or state representatives.

As indicated in EPIP 5.7.27, pre-arranged messages are used wvhen instructing the general public on what actions should be taken. EPIP 5.7.27 also provides CNS personnel the messages and instructions to be provided to the general public (in the event that the state and local authorities can not initiate the Alert and Notification System). Approximately Rev 46 6-5

15 minutes will be required to notify the public from the time the decision has been made to activate the system to the time required to broadcast a message.

EPIP 5.7.27.1 describes how a malfunctioning tone-activated radio will be repaired or replaced.

6.5.1 Rescue Operations The search and rescue function is handled by trained emergency response personnel. If station personnel are unaccounted for in the initial or subsequent personnel accountability, an emergency team will be assigned to locate and, if necessary, rescue them, observing the guidelines set forth in EPIP 5.7.15.

6.5.2 Onsite Protective Equipment and Supplies Protective equipment is available onsite to minimize radiological dose and contamination, as well as fire fighting hazards. The types of equipment include full-face particulate respirators, self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing, and air-fed respirators.

This equipment is located in the normal station storage areas, and in or near the Control Room and the emergency response facilities. An inventory of this equipment is contained in EPIP 5.7.21.

6.5.3 Personnel Assembly and Accountability When the emergency alarm is sounded site visitors, contractors and non-ERO onsite personnel will proceed to their Designated Assembly Area. Emergency response personnel will report to their emergency response facility or designated assembly area. The results of personnel accountability will be compiled and reported to the Emergency Director. In the event an individual cannot be located, search teams will be dispatched. Initial accountability will be completed within 30 minutes and continuous accountability will be maintained throughout the course of the emergency per EPIP 5.7.10.

6.5.4 Dismissal and Evacuation When the emergency alarm is sounded, all personnel will proceed to their designated assembly area by the most direct route unless otherwise instructed to avoid specified areas. The classification and magnitude of the emergency will dictate which Emergency Response Facilities shall be activated, the areas of the site to be avoided, and the offsite support required.

Upon assembly and accountability of all personnel, it may be appropriate to dismiss specific personnel to go home, or necessary, to direct personnel to the alternate assembly point located in the Nemaha County Multiplex Building.

All SITE AREA and GENERAL EMERGENCIES require evacuation of all non-ERO personnel. EPIP 5.7.11 provides the specific procedures to be followed in the event site dismissal or evacuation is required. Once the decision has been made to evacuate, non-ERO employees, contractors, and Rev 46 6-6

visitors can be evacuated and relocated to a remote assembly area within approximately one hour.

Personnel will not return to the station or deactivate emergency response facilities until directed by the Emergency Director or until the "ALL CLEAR" signal is sounded by the Control Room.

6.5.5 Contamination and Dose Control Measures 6.5.5.1 Onsite Measures will be taken to prevent ingestion of radioactive materials deposited within the Protected Area. Affected areas will be isolated. Details of contamination control measures for onsite areas are contained in Station Operation procedures.

The monitoring of the work environment within radiological control areas, including specific instructions, precautions, and limitations to personnel working within these areas is supervised by Radiological Protection personnel.

Food for emergency response personnel will be provided from offsite sources or from onsite supplies stored in a contamination resistant location.

Exposure to airborne radioactivity will be controlled in accordance with appropriate ALARA principles. Periodic air samples will be taken to assure that radioiodine and airborne contamination levels are known.

Radioprotective tablets are available for voluntary use by NPPD personnel. NPPD may also provide radioprotective tablets to non-NPPD emergency response organizations for distribution to their emergency workers. Administration of these tablets to non-NPPD personnel will be the responsibility of these non-NPPD organizations. Any NPPD distribution of radioprotective tablets will be made at the direction of the Emergency Director.

EPIP 5.7.14 provides further information on the use and distribution of radioprotective (Potassium Iodide) tablets.

During an emergency, equipment and tools will be unconditionally released for use outside the area only if their radiation levels are less than I mrem/hr above background (fixed contamination) and 220 dpm/100cm 2 alpha activity or 2200 dpm/1OOcm 2 beta-gamma activity above background (removable contamination).

6.5.5.2 Offsite For areas beyond the site boundary, Nebraska and Missouri radiological monitoring teams, in coordination with CNS Rev 46 6-7

monitoring teams, will identify contamination and radiation levels.

For areas where public access normally occurs, criteria for offsite areas will be applied. Criteria and measures for contamination control in offsite areas are detailed in the Nebraska and Missouri Emergency Plans.

6.5.6 Security and Access Control The CNS Security Plan is approved by the NRC and restricts access to the site.

Security personnel control access to the Protected Area and during declared emergencies, control access to areas of the Owner Controlled Area.

A roadblock will be established on the Plant Access road. Personnel attempting to access the site will be informed of the situation and, if cleared, will be directed to the proper location.

For security related emergencies, Local Law Enforcement Agency assistance may be requested.

6.6 Aid to Affected Personnel 6.6.1 Emergency Personnel Dose Criteria Dose records for station personnel are maintained by the Radiological Protection Group and are accessible at the TSC. This information will be utilized in determining emergency team assignments. Criteria used for limiting dose to emergency workers are based on recommendations of the U.S. EPA and are shown in Table 6.4-1.

Emergency workers will wear dosimetry as required by Radiological Protection personnel. Emergency worker dosimetry will be provided on a 24-hour basis by Radiological Protection personnel. Every effort will be made to minimize emergency worker dose through the use of protective equipment and supplies and by minimizing exposure time. The Chemistry/Radiological Protection Coordinator and the Maintenance Coordinator, with assistance of the OSC Supervisor, are responsible for making emergency team assignments.

Only the Emergency Director may authorize emergency workers to receive dose in excess of IOCFR20 occupational limits. Personnel conducting corrective or protective actions or life-saving actions who may receive dose in excess of occupational limits should be selected from those who volunteer.

Radiological Protection personnel are also responsible for providing self-reading and permanent dosimetry devices to emergency personnel assembled at the OSC and for assuring accountability of each worker's dose.

Emergency radiation exposure is controlled in accordance with EPIP 5.7.12.

6.6.2 Decontamination and First Aid Provisions have been made to assist personnel who are injured, contaminated, or who may have received high radiation doses. Station personnel are trained in first aid and portable first aid kits are available at strategic locations throughout the station. In addition, first aid lockers and decontamination Rev 46 6-8

facilities are provided within the station. In the event the above are not available during an emergency, the EOF will be used as a first aid station and personnel decontamination center. Detailed information on personnel monitoring and decontamination, including radiological criteria is contained in Station Radiological Protection Procedures. Personnel found to be contaminated will undergo decontamination under the direction of Radiological Protection personnel.

6.6.3 Medical Transportation A station ambulance is available for the transportation of injured personnel when station EMTs are available. This vehicle is reserved for emergency use to assure ready availability in time of need. During times when the station ambulance is unavailable due to the performance of preventative maintenance, malfunction, or other circumstances, backup medical transportation services shall be contacted and services requested when necessary.

The CNS ambulance is equipped with all required equipment and supplies required by the State of Nebraska for a licensed ambulance. The ambulance also has communications equipment for communicating with the Plant and Nemaha County Hospital. Ambulance attendants (Nebraska-certified EMTs or Paramedics) are trained to handle contamination cases. In addition, NPPD Radiological Protection personnel will accompany contaminated patients to the hospital. The Auburn Rescue Squad or Nemaha County Hospital Rescue Squad may also be contacted to transport injured personnel to the hospital during times when the station ambulance is unavailable.

6.6.4 Medical Treatment Facilities The Shift Manager or his designee in accordance with EPIP 5.7.24 will notify the appropriate hospitals if injured personnel are to be transported from the site.

Arrangements have been made with the hospitals listed below for care of injured personnel, including cases involving radiological contamination and radiation over-exposure. Selection of the hospital and medical assistance will be based on:

1. Obtaining the most rapid access to the necessary medical services and facilities
2. Capabilities of the specific hospital to provide the required services
3. Accessibility due to weather and road conditions
4. Number of injured personnel to be transported
5. Preference of the injured personnel, if the type and severity of the injury permit Rev 46 6-9

Except as otherwise dictated by the above conditions, hospitals and medical assistance will be utilized in the following order of priority, based on proximity to Cooper Nuclear Station:

1. Nemaha County Hospital, 2022 13th Street, Auburn, Nebraska
2. University Nebraska Medical Center, 42nd and Dewey, Omaha, Nebraska In accordance with Nebraska Statutes (85-805, 806, 807) Nebraska Public Power District supports the University of Nebraska Radiation Health Center and maintains the right to all services of the Radiation Health Center for, but not limited to:

Specialized medical and related services for evaluation, treatment and management of radiation casualties; Routine medical, radiation protection, consultation and associated services; Educational programs for nuclear safety, with emphasis on preventive medicine and radiological protection.

Patients with radiological injuries beyond the scope of the local medical facilities will be transferred to the Radiation Health Center at the discretion of the local medical staff.

7.0 Emergency Response Facilities and Equipment This section of the CNS Emergency Plan describes the Control Room and the Emergency Response Facilities, including onsite and offsite communications systems, assessment equipment and facilities, protective facilities and equipment, first aid and medical facilities, and damage control equipment and supplies.

7.1 Control Room Emergency assessment and control is initially directed from the Control Room by the Shift Manager prior to activation of the Technical Support Center (TSC). The Control Room is located in the Control Building and is equipped with an emergency bypass ventilation system allowing habitability during Design Basis Accidents as defined in the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Updated Safety Analysis Report. The Control Room contains plant instrumentation, required technical drawings, CNS records, and communications equipment.

Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.

7.2 Emergency Response Facilities When activated, the following Emergency Response Facilities supplement the Control Room in assessing and controlling emergencies:

7.2.1 Technical Support Center The TSC (Figure 7.2-1) is the focal point for onsite emergency coordination and for directing and assisting the Control Room during station emergency conditions. The following functions are performed in the TSC:

  • Provide management and technical support to station operations personnel during an emergency.
  • Relieve operations personnel of duties not directly related to reactor system manipulations (e.g., NRC notifications).
  • Temporarily assumes the role of the EOF in the event the EOF functions must be transferred to the Alternate EOF (AEOF).

The TSC is located on the first floor of the Administration Building.

Figure 7.2-1 provides a layout of the TSC.

If the TSC should become uninhabitable, personnel would relocate to the EOF.

To protect personnel under most conditions, the TSC is provided with dedicated radiological protection and monitoring equipment capable of continuous indication of dose rates and airborne radioactivity concentrations.

Local alarms provide early warning to TSC personnel.

The TSC ventilation system is comparable to the control room ventilation system. Although not seismically qualified, redundant, or automatically Rev 46 7-1

activated, it does include high efficiency particulate air filters and charcoal filters. System capacity is based on design basis accident airborne radioactivity levels, independent of thyroid blocking provisions (potassium iodide).

Emergency equipment listed in EPIP 5.7.21 and Appendix E is provided to protect personnel who must exit the TSC or continue TSC operation during the presence of low-level airborne radioactivity or radioactive surface contamination.

To facilitate the TSC function, a set of as-built drawings of the station, schematics and diagrams, Technical Specifications, Station Operating Procedures, Emergency Operating Procedures, Severe Accident Guidelines and associated Technical Support Guidelines, station operating records, records needed to perform the functions of the EOF when it is not operational, and a copy of the Updated Safety Analysis Report are available to personnel in the TSC.

Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.

7.2.2 Operational Support Center The OSC (Figure 7.2-2) is the assembly and staging area for CNS personnel for emergency response assignments. The OSC provides a location where plant logistic support can be coordinated during an emergency.

Chemistry/Radiological Protection personnel, Mechanical Maintenance personnel, Electrical and Instrument & Control personnel, and administrative personnel report to the OSC. The OSC is located adjacent to the TSC. In the event the OSC would need to be relocated due to habitability concerns, the Instrument & Control Shop (932' Level) has been identified as an alternate OSC.

Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.

7.2.3 Emergency Operations Facility The EOF (Figure 7.2-3) is located adjacent to the Security Building, outside the Protected Area. The EOF performs the following functions:

  • Management of the offsite emergency response.
  • Coordination of radiological and environmental assessment.
  • Determination of recommended protective actions for the public.
  • Coordination of emergency response activities with federal, state, and local agencies.
  • Event Classification.
  • Notification to offsite authorities.

Rev 46 7-2

The EOF has sufficient space to accommodate CNS emergency response personnel and representatives from local, state, and federal response agencies.

Offsite monitoring teams will be dispatched from the EOF. Emergency lockers in the EOF and/or downwind survey vehicles contain material and equipment needed for offsite monitoring and reentry activities. This equipment includes procedures, protective clothing, radiation detection instrumentation, dosimetry, air sampling equipment, respiratory protection equipment, personnel decontamination supplies, and counting instruments. A list of this equipment is included in the Emergency Plan, Appendix E, as well as in Implementing Procedure (EPIP) 5.7.21. Results of offsite surveys and sample analyses will be reported to the EOF for evaluation and assessment, and to aid in the development of protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.

Personnel in the EOF and TSC have the capability to assess meteorological data, current plant conditions and release rate data from the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) or the Control Room to determine projected downwind doses. All of this data is prominently displayed in the EOF and is readily available to local, state, and federal authorities for use in making an independent determination of protective actions.

Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.

Communication by facsimile equipment between the EOF, TSC, and the JIC is also provided.

Information available in the EOF includes: CNS Technical Specifications, Operating Procedures, Emergency Operating Procedures, Updated Safety Analysis Report, environs radiological monitoring records, and selected as-built drawings. In addition, copies of state and local emergency response plans and information pertinent to evacuation is also maintained.

The Nebraska Field Command Post and the Nebraska State Patrol Mobile Emergency Communications Unit may be stationed adjacent to the EOF.

Electrical power is available to these vans. Communications between the EOF and the communication vans consists of direct intercom and telephone via external plug-in at the EOF. Radio communications are also available.

7.2.4 Alternate Emergency Operations Facility The AEOF (Figure 7.24) is located in the town of Auburn, Nebraska, approximately I O2 miles wvest of CNS. It is housed in the Nemaha County Multiplex Building. If emergency conditions dictate relocation to the AEOF, emergency evaluation and coordination activities will be accomplished from this location. It will serve as the alternate assembly point for station personnel.

The AEOF has emergency lockers containing similar amounts and types of emergency equipment as the EOF; however, it does contain a larger quantity of decontamination equipment should decontamination of evacuated station personnel be required. A list of the general type of this emergency and decontamination equipment is included in Appendix E of this plan as well as EPIP 5.7.21.

Rev 46 7-3

Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.

In the unlikely event that the EOF had to be evacuated, key personnel would evacuate the area and relocate to the AEOF in accordance with EPIP 5.7.9.1 and EPIP 5.7.11.

Personnel in the TSC would be notified of the situation and control of the onsite and offsite aspects of Emergency Response would be directed from the TSC. It is estimated that the activation of the AEOF would require approximately one hour. It should be emphasized that key personnel relocating to the AEOF would maintain contact with CNS via mobile radio or cellular telephones. Direct communications with the TSC and JIC would be established from the AEOF.

7.2.5 Joint Information Center The JIC is the media briefing area and is the focal point for contact with the media. The JIC (Figure 7.2-5) is located on the third floor of the NPPD General Office Building in Columbus, Nebraska. The JIC is jointly staffed by utility, State, and Federal personnel. The JIC carries out the following functions:

Coordinate the dissemination of information to the news media.

  • Conduct media monitoring.

Maintain rumor control.

Provide NPPD employees with information concerning the emergency.

To assure accurate and timely information is available to the public, personnel manning the JIC have current information on plant status available. A direct continuous line for communication is available between the JIC and the EOF.

NPPD personnel are available to respond to any questions regarding plant status, radiological releases, protective actions, etc.

Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7.1-1.

Since public information activities occur at the JIC, CNS has not dedicated an area within the EOF for media representatives.

The EOF has an area dedicated for state Public Information Officers to inform counterparts located in the JIC of the events, which are occurring at CNS.

The NPPD Designated Spokesperson located in the JIC is responsible for all interfaces with the media. The Designated Spokesperson and the Public Affairs support staff wvill receive information on plant status from designated personnel located in the EOF and will interact with state Public Information Officers as required.

The dedicated lines listed also have extension lines in the following facilities: Nebraska State Emergency Management Agency EOC, Missouri State Emergency Management Agency EOC, Atchison County EOC, and Nemaha County EOC.

Once the EOCs are operational, notifications may be made using the extension lines at the EOCs with the concurrence between the respective EOC and the law enforcement agency.

Rev 46 7-5

Should the PBX lose AC power the system will automatically switch to back-up battery power. These batteries will power the PBX for approximately 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. All stations will continue to function in their normal fashion. If the PBX system should fail there are several trunks that will be directly connected to pre-selected extensions.

National Warning System (NAWAS) is installed, monitored, and operated from the Control Room. NAWAS, which is manned 24-hours a day, is a nationwide telephone system primarily for attack warnings.

7.3.3 Radio Communications for use both onsite and offsite are provided by:

7.3.3.1 Two-Way FM Radio System (High Band)

A system used primarily by inplant operations/emergency response personnel and the security force.

This radio system can be used for communications between the Control Room/Security Alarm Stations and the Nemaha County Sheriff's Department located in Auburn, Nebraska.

It is possible to operate this system either base-to-portable or portable-to-portable. The range of either system at maximum would be approximately twenty miles.

It is equipped with an encoder to activate the alert monitor receiver at the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office.

7.3.3.2 Two-Way FM Radio System (Low Band)

This low band system is primarily used by offsite field monitoring personnel.

This radio system can be used for communications between CNS and NPPD vehicles.

At CNS four remote control heads are accessible, one each in the Control Room, TSC/OSC, EOF, and the 345 kV substation.

7.4 Notification by Emergency Class Notification schemes detailed by specific accident classification including notification of the general public are contained in EPIP 5.7.6, EPIP 5.7.27, and EPIP 5.7.23.

The four classes of emergency defined in Section 4.0 require varying degree and scope of emergency response. The emergency organization for a NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT classification consists of the normal shift personnel. Normally, no further site emergency staff augmentation is required, although several members of station management, including senior management personnel, are notified. Notification of responsible state and local governmental agencies, and well as the NRC, will also be performed.

Rev 46 7-6

In an ALERT classification, the TSC, EOF, and OSC will be activated. Notification of state, local, and NRC authorities, as well as station management and staff will be initiated.

SITE AREA EMERGENCY and GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications require complete activation of all emergency response facilities, including state and local Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). The complete emergency response notification scheme, depicted in Figure 7.4-1 shall be initiated.

7.5 Environmental Assessment Capabilities This section outlines the equipment available at CNS for the evaluation and assessment of emergency conditions. Some of this equipment is used in the initial evaluation and classification of the emergency as described in Section 4.0. Other equipment and capabilities described in this section are used in the assessment, mitigation, and subsequent analysis and monitoring of areas, equipment, and the environment. In some cases equipment may serve for both initial and continual assessment.

7.5.1 Seismic Monitor A seismic event monitor and recorder is located in the Control Room. This instrument, in conjunction with assessment of equipment damage within the station, will be a primary factor in determining the emergency condition and classification as a result of a seismic occurrence. Detailed seismic information can be obtained from the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. Additional seismic information can be obtained from the U.S.

Geological Survey office of Earthquake Studies in Golden, Colorado.

7.5.2 Meteorological Monitoring Two meteorological monitoring sites are located at a grade elevation of 889 feet above mean sea level. A 100-meter tower and a backup 10-meter tower located 1,230 feet and 1,597 feet respectively, from the northwest comer of the reactor building are used to gather the meteorological data. The 100-meter tower gathers data at three levels, 100 meters, 60 meters, and 10 meters.

The 10-meter tower data is collected at the 10-meter level. The redundant signal cables from the towers to the plant are located in either protected duct banks or directly buried in separated routings so that only one path can be interrupted at a time due to construction or other activities. The data is displayed by the data acquisition system located in the computer room adjacent to the control room. Digital data may also be displayed on both the Meteorological System console and the Plant Management Information System display console. The meteorological monitoring system is powered locally from the 12.5 kV ring bus and from MCC "L" in the event of a loss of off-site power condition. The system monitors and continuously records the following:

  • Wind speed and wind direction are measured continuously at all tower levels. Wind system components include a three-cup anemometer, wind vane, heater, translators, and recorders. The installed range for Rev 46 7-7

wind direction is 0-540° +/- 30 with a threshold speed of 0.58 mph and a damping of 0.4 at 1.13 meters. The installed range for wind speed is 100 mph +/- 0.15 mph or 1%. The threshold speed is 0.6 mph and the distance constant is 1.5 meters.

  • Sigma Theta is calculated using the Climatronics Sigma Computer.

The running sigma theta is updated every minute for the 15-minute time constant. The sigma theta values are then accessed by the data acquisition system.

  • Air temperatures are monitored at all four locations. A system comprised of thermistor temperature probes, motorized aspirated radiation shields, and temperature translator is used to monitor the temperature and the corresponding delta-T's at the various levels. The estimation of atmospheric stability is based on the vertical temperature difference between the 100-meter, 60-meter, and 10-meter tower elevations. The installed accuracy is -30 to +50'C +/- 5% not to exceed 0.150 C between tower vertical sample points.
  • Dewpoint temperature is measured with Climatronics dewpoint system. This system consists of an aspirated dewpoint sensor and a dewpoint translator module.
  • Precipitation is measured using an electrically heated rain and snow gauge. This gauge uses the tipping bucket method to measure all forms of precipitation. The instrument has a resolution of 0.01 inches.

Backup meteorological data may be obtained from the National Weather Service Office located in Valley, Nebraska, w"hich offers projected windspeed, wind direction, and temperature up to the 10,000-foot level. Information can be obtained by telephone or NAWAS.

7.5.3 Missouri River Monitoring CNS is located on the Missouri River, river mile 532.5. This river is the only water source in the area that has the potential for causing major flood damage.

Operations personnel record the river level once per shift. Backup information concerning river level and flow is available from the U.S. Geological Survey Station in Nebraska City, Nebraska, via the U.S. Geological Survey in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

7.5.4 Radiological Monitors CNS maintains a Radiological Protection program and related radiological equipment in accordance with NRC Regulations, guidelines, and recommended practices. This program, including personnel, procedures, and equipment is periodically inspected by the NRC. The program provides manpower and equipment to evaluate, assess, and perform follow-up action for radiological emergencies. In addition to the equipment used in normal Rev 46 7-8

radiological controls, a special inventory of emergency equipment is maintained both onsite and offsite for emergency radiological response.

State Radiological Health Departments, nearby nuclear plants, federal radiological assistance plan teams, and private organizations such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and General Electric may be requested to provide manpower and radiological monitoring equipment during an emergency situation. Equipment vendors may also be contacted to provide equipment needed in an emergency situation.

The instrumentation listed below at the described locations is used to evaluate radiological conditions and assess the radiological risks. Tables 4.1-1 through 4.1-4 may require the use of indications from these sources in classifying emergencies.

7.5.4.1 Effluent Release Point Monitors Each effluent release point is continuously monitored for particulates, radioiodines, and noble gases. The fixed filters and radioiodine absorbing charcoal cartridges may be changed and taken to the radiochemistry laboratory for analysis and release level determination. Noble gas samples may also be taken and analyzed, or release rate versus monitor readings may be used to determine release rates for each effluent point. The CNS effluent monitors are capable of monitoring releases during normal and accident conditions.

7.5.5 Main Steam Line Monitors The four main steam lines are continuously monitored for radiation level. This instrument system consists of four channels, which contain the following:

An ionization chamber, used to measure the steam radiation level as it leaves primary containment.

  • A logarithmic monitor with local readout located in the Control Room.
  • An annunciator for low/inop, high, and high/high radiation readout located in the Control Room.

A selectable recorder is located in the Control Room and is provided to continuously monitor two channels. If radiation levels increase above the alarm setpoint, visual and audible alarms are actuated in the Control Room.

7.5.5.1 Steam Jet Air Eiector Monitors Off-gas radiation levels are continuously monitored by the Steam Jet Air Ejector monitors. Each monitor system consists of an ionization detector with readouts and recorder in the Control Room. Calibration curves relate count rate and flow versus release rate at the Steam Jet Air Ejectors. This flow path is independently Rev 46 7-9

monitored at the Elevated Release Point by monitors described in 7.5.4.1.

Measurement is made upstream of the 30-minute holdup line. If the alarm setpoint is exceeded and the alarm does not clear within 15 minutes, the off-gas holdup line isolates and the reactor will be shutdown.

7.5.5.2 Area Radiation Monitors Areas within CNS are monitored with permanently mounted Area Radiation Monitors. Many of these monitors have local level indications and local audible and visual alarms, including level indications and audible and visual alarm annunciation in the Control Room. Area Radiation Monitors are in locations that may be occupied by station personnel or where higher than normal radiation levels may indicate system malfunction. The alarm setpoints are based on the normal operational radiation background surrounding each individual monitor. Any abnormal increase in radiation levels will produce an annunciator alarm in the Control Room. A continuous record of this monitor system is provided on a Control Room multipoint recorder. Area Radiation Monitors located inside the primary containment will alert personnel to abnormal radiation increases.

7.5.5.3 Liquid Radioactivity Monitors Changes in the levels of radioactive material within a liquid system with its subsequent radiation level change is normally monitored by the Area Radiation Monitor system. The Reactor Equipment Cooling system, the Radioactive Liquid Effluent line, and the Service Water Cooling system each have detectors, which continuously monitor radioactivity level. A readout, visual and audible alarms, and recorder are provided in the Control Room.

7.5.5.4 Constant Air Monitors In addition to the Gaseous Effluent Release Points described in Section 7.5.4.1. Constant Air Monitor units analyze surrounding building air. These units filter the air on moving filters and monitor this filter for radioactivity level. One of these monitors, normally stationed on the refueling floor, also has radioiodine monitoring capabilities. After the air is filtered, it passes through a charcoal cartridge, which absorbs iodine. This cartridge is monitored by a scintillation detector. Those Constant Air Monitors are mobile and may be stationed at strategic locations within the station. Each has a local activity readout recorder and visual alarm functions.

Rev 46 7-10

7.5.5.5 Portable Air Sampling Equipment In addition to the constant air monitors described above, portable air sampling equipment is also available. Three basic types of portable air samplers are provided at the station. Particulate and iodine samplers, both high volume and low volume, may be used.

These types of air samplers circulate air through a particulate filter and then through a radioiodine absorbing charcoal cartridge. The filters and charcoal cartridges are then analyzed for airborne radioactivity. Radioanalysis of these air samples are normally performed in the CNS Radiological Protection Counting Room or the Radiochemistry Laboratory.

Both silver zeolite charcoal and conventional charcoal cartridges are available for use with portable air samplers. The use of conventional cartridges requires the extra step of purging noble gases prior to analysis for radioiodines. Facilities to purge these gases are available in the Radiochemistry Lab.

Air samplers are also available in the emergency lockers described in EPIP 5.7.21. The Nebraska and Missouri State Radiological Health Departments also have air-sampling equipment available for offsite surveys. In addition, nearby nuclear plants, as well as the Department of Energy (DOE) via the NRC, may be requested to provide air-sampling backup.

7.5.5.6 Process Monitors System readouts, scaled to provide normal and abnormal primary system parameter indications, are displayed in the Control Room.

Such parameters include, but are not limited to, pressure, temperature, level indication, and flow rates. Each parameter will normally have alarm setpoints with audible and visual alarm capabilities when setpoints are exceeded. Particular instruments also have recorder capabilities, which serve as a record of system performance. Process monitors, their alarms, annunciators, and recorders, give indication of system performance. Process monitors serve as indicators to alert station personnel of emergency situations. Monitor indications, in conjunction with the Emergency Action Levels discussed in EPIP 5.7.1, are used to initiate emergency measures and aid in the evaluation and assessment of such emergency situations.

7.5.6 Environmental Radiation Surveillance The CNS Environmental Radiation Surveillance Program was initiated in 1970. The initial phase determined background levels of radioactivity in the environment around CNS. The Environmental Radiological Program has continued throughout plant startup, preoperational testing phases, and operation of the station.

Rev 46 7-11

This program basically consists of the aspects described below:

Radiation monitoring within a ten-mile radius, which is accomplished by the use of thermoluminescent dosimeters. In addition, the NRC and State Health Departments have placed thermoluminescent dosimeters in areas surrounding the station.

Continuous air sampling is performed within a ten-mile radius of the station. Air sampling stations collect airborne particulates on stationary filters, then pass this filtered air through charcoal cartridges to collect gaseous radioiodines.

Samples which are periodically taken for environmental radiological assessments include:

- Missouri River water samples

- Ground water samples

- Vegetation samples

- Milk samples

- Fish samples from Missouri River

- Sediment from Missouri River shoreline The environmental program analyzes a wide variety of samples from the environment for radiological concerns. In case of an emergency affecting offsite radiological parameters, any phase of this program may be used to assess the situation. In addition, portable air sampling equipment for particulates and radioiodines is available for gaseous release emergencies; dose rate instruments and analytical capabilities are available for environmental assessment. The State(s) Department of Health, other nuclear plants, and the DOE via the NRC are also available to aid in environmental assessments.

7.5.7 Radioanalysis Laboratories The radiochemistry laboratory and Radiological Protection Counting Room, located in separate buildings from the reactor, are used to analyze onsite and offsite emergency monitoring samples. These facilities are equipped with analytical instruments capable of measuring radionuclides and their associated emergency concentrations in environmental samples. Gross radiation level instrumentation is also available in the EOF and AEOF emergency kits. The State(s) Health Department and Omaha Public Power District's Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station may also be requested to assist in the analysis of environmental monitoring samples.

7.6 Fire Protection Although the fire protection system is not detailed in the CNS Emergency Plan, the type, location, and severity of a fire may prompt this Emergency Plan to be implemented. CNS maintains a fire protection system in accordance with NRC regulations, which is periodically inspected by the NRC to verify fire protection capabilities. CNS has its own fire pumps with backup capabilities and distribution systems, including numerous hose Rev 46 7-12

and hydrant stations, automatic sprinkler system, and fire barriers. Materials used meet fire code requirements. An onsite emergency fire house containing portable fire fighting equipment is maintained and periodically inventoried. Smoke detectors, heat detectors, visual means, and Control Room annunciation of the fire system serve as indicators of fire location and severity.

7.7 Emergency Lockers Emergency lockers containing respiratory protection equipment, air sampling equipment, survey equipment, and other emergency type equipment are located in the Control Room and the CNS emergency response facilities. An emergency rescue locker is located in Administration Building, level 9030 near the entrance to the RCA. EPIP 5.7.21 lists the locations and minimum inventory requirements for the emergency lockers, the station ambulance, and the emergency downwind survey vehicles.

Respiratory protection equipment, protective clothing, survey equipment, sampling equipment, and other equipment for reentry, rescue or emergency operations will be provided from these emergency lockers if normal station supplies are not available.

Radioprotective tablets (Potassium Iodide) are stocked in emergency lockers and are available on a voluntary basis to emergency response personnel as conditions dictate.

These tablets will be dispensed only with the permission of the Emergency Director.

These lockers will remain unlocked with a seal across the door, which will break when the doors are opened.

The contents of the lockers will be inventoried at least each calendar quarter and also after each use using EPIP 5.7.21. Any missing or expended items shall be replaced. A new seal will then be attached to the doors. Any time a locker seal is found broken, the contents of the locker will be promptly verified by inventory of the contents.

The procedures and associated attachments available in the emergency lockers will be updated as required.

7.8 Habitability Equipment Control Room shielding and ventilation are designed to allow personnel habitability during Design Basis Accident Conditions. The TSC/OSC has shielding and ventilation similar to the Control Room for habitability during the course of an emergency. The TSC/OSC ventilation system is not seismic qualified, redundant, instrumented in the Control Room, or automatically activated. In the unlikely event the OSC is not habitable, an Alternate OSC location is provided which has ventilation similar to the TSC/OSC. The EOF meets the habitability requirements of NUREG-0696 (Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities). In the unlikely event the EOF is not habitable, an Alternate EOF is provided outside the 10 mile EPZ. Portable radiation monitoring instrumentation, communications equipment, respiratory equipment, and protective clothing are available in or near the Control Room, TSC, OSC, EOF, AOSC, and AEOF.

Rev 46 7-13

7.9 Medical Facilities and First Aid 7.9.1 Medical Facilities Arrangements have been made with the hospitals listed below for care of injured personnel, including cases involving radiological contamination and radiation over-exposure. Selection of the hospital and medical assistance will normally be based on obtaining the most rapid access to the necessary medical services, the capability of the specific hospital to provide the required services, and the preference of the injured personnel, if the type and severity of the injury permit.

1. Nemaha County Hospital, 2022 13th Street, Auburn, Nebraska
2. University Nebraska Medical Center, 42nd and Dewey, Omaha, Nebraska 7.9.2 First Aid First aid kits are available at strategic locations throughout the station. These kits are fully equipped with supplies and materials appropriate for use in radiological emergencies.

8.0 Maintaining Emergencv Preparedness Maintenance of the CNS Emergency Plan and Emergency Preparedness Program consists of:

(1) training for NPPD emergency response personnel, (2) drills and exercises, (3) regular emergency plan review and evaluation, and (4) periodic inventory, maintenance, and testing of emergency facilities and equipment.

8.1 Training Emergency Preparedness training ensures that Emergency Response Organization (ERO) members, will be familiar with applicable portions of the following Emergency Preparedness documents:

  • ERO Positional Instructional Manual Checklists (PIMs) for CNS 8.1.1 Training for CNS Emergencv Response Organization (ERO)

ERO members may be stationed at CNS, Columbus General Office or other NPPD offices. These employees may become members of the ERO by virtue of their normal job position, or may be selected to fill a position in the ERO based on their availability and/or personal qualifications.

Emergency Response Organization members will receive initial training which will be followed by requalification training. This training includes both knowledge-based and performance-based elements. Requalification training on knowledge based elements generally will be offered on a 12-month cycle not to exceed 15 months. Requalification training on performance based elements will be offered on a calendar year basis. Exceptions to the requalification training periods are as noted in ERO Training Qualification Descriptions.

Details are as noted in the ERO Training Qualification Descriptions. No employee will become an active member of the ERO until training has been completed and the individual has been qualified.

Training will be conducted in accordance with the ERO Training Program Guide. Initial training will consist of formal sessions utilizing materials indicated by the ERO Training Program Guide. This training will be followed by an evaluation of the students comprehension of the subject material.

Requalification training may consist of formal training, drills, exercises, or other alternate methods of completion as described by the ERO Training Program Guide. Training records and documentation will be maintained by the Nuclear Training Department. The Emergency Preparedness Department is responsible for assuring that all appropriate emergency response personnel are adequately trained.

Training will be developed and utilized for areas as required per 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.IV.F, Training:

Rev 46 8-1

Directors and/or coordinators of the plant emergency organization Personnel responsible for accident assessment, including control room shift personnel Radiological monitoring teams Fire Control teams (fire brigades)

Repair and damage control teams First Aid and rescue teams Medical support personnel Licensee's headquarters support personnel Security personnel Emergency Preparedness training material is identified in the ERO Training Program Guide. A listing of training requirements and a synopsis of the course content is contained in this document. Fire Brigade, Security, and First Aid training have been established to fulfill requirements of other programs.

Lesson plans addressing these areas have been developed and are taught under their respective training programs. Training materials will be revised to correspond with changes made to the Emergency Plan, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, or other supporting documents. Changes may be identified through drill and exercise performance.

8.1.2 Training for Emergency Preparedness Department Personnel Training for the Emergency Preparedness Manager and staff will be provided through participation in industry sponsored emergency planning symposia and workshops, as well as observation of drills and exercises of other utilities. This training will also be conducted on a 12-month cycle not to exceed 15 months.

Documentation for such participation will be recorded and maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Manager and NPPD Human Resources Department.

8.1.3 Training for Participating Agencies Training for participating agencies is programmed by the individual agencies with aid from the State Governments in Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa.

NPPD personnel are available to describe the special conditions and constraints involved in dealing with the station emergencies and any radiological release situations.

NPPD offers training annually for employees of the Nemaha County Hospital, Members of the Volunteer Fire Departments of Brownville, Nemaha, Peru, and Auburn, Local Ambulance Services, Local Civil Defense Personnel, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies.

Rev 46 8-2

This training includes notification procedures, basic radiation protection theory, and the identity, by position and title, of the individual in the onsite emergency organization who will control CNS emergency response activities.

8.1.4 Public Education NPPD prepares educational material for annual distribution to the public within the 10-mile plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). The material is mailed to residents and is available for review at NPPD headquarters, CNS, the Nebraska State Emergency Management Agency, the Nebraska Department of Health - Division of Regulation and Licensure, and the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency. The material outlines the station's operational concept, defines the various classifications of emergencies, summarizes the emergency plan and procedures developed to safeguard the general public, reviews appropriate protective actions (i.e.,

in-house shelter, evacuation, etc.), and describes public warning signals and their meaning. Facts about radiation and contacts for additional information are included. The material is reviewed annually by NPPD and State and Local Emergency Management Agencies and updated as required.

To provide for the notification and education of the transient population within the 10-mile EPZ, NPPD has provided numerous copies of the information to the following:

  • Walnut Grove KOA Campground
  • All motels within the 10-mile EPZ
  • Indian Cave State Park
  • Brownville Historical Society In the event of an emergency at CNS, the owner, operator, etc., of each of these establishments has been instructed to distribute the material to any individuals occupying their facilities.

For special use areas within the EPZ, NPPD has made arrangements for the establishment of other means of notification of the transient population.

Informational bulletin boards and/or signs have been established at Brownville State Recreation Area, Brick Yard Hill Wildlife Area, and river access boat ramps. At Indian Cave State Park, an informational brochure includes information on what actions should be taken in the event of an accident at CNS.

8.1.5 Media Familiarization Annual programs are conducted to acquaint media personnel with the CNS Emergency Plan, information concerning basic nuclear plant operation and radiation, and the locations and means employed to disseminate emergency information to the public. This activity may be performed in cooperation with the NPPD Public Affairs Department.

Rev 46 8-3

8.2 Drills and Exercises Regular participation by station personnel in drills and exercises is designed to maintain emergency preparedness and test specific aspects of emergency plans, procedures, and equipment. Evaluation of these drills and exercises is conducted and revisions to the Emergency Preparedness Program are implemented to improve performance.

8.2.1 Exercises An exercise is an event that tests the integrated capability and a major portion of the basic elements existing within the Emergency Plan.

Emergency exercises (required biennially), are conducted annually and simulate events that may result in offsite radiological releases to the extent requiring response by offsite authorities. In accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rules, these exercises are conducted jointly with participating federal, state, and local government agencies to assure effective response to major emergency situations. These combined exercises are coordinated by the CNS Emergency Preparedness Department with state and local emergency planning personnel.

During any six-year period, two exercises will commence offshift - between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. Exercises will be conducted during different seasons of the year. At least one exercise shall be unannounced.

Objectives for joint exercises are developed by NPPD with the states of Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa as appropriate. Scenarios are developed to ensure that essential portions of plans and organizations are tested within a six-year period and to ensure that the scenarios include at least the following:

  • Statement of basic objectives and evaluation criteria.
  • Date, time, place, and participating organizations.
  • Simulated events.
  • Narrative summary describing exercise particulars which may include such things as simulated casualties, offsite medical assistance, rescue of personnel, deployment of radiological monitoring teams, and public information activities.
  • Provision for proper utilization of observers.

Initial critiques will be held at each facility immediately following termination of the exercise. A synopsis of the exercise critique process is as follows:

Players critique their own performance, noting areas requiring improvement.

Evaluators then present their initial findings to the players. Players have the Rev 46 8-4

opportunity to provide evidence to the evaluators of actions taken for which they did not receive credit. Evaluators then prepare their critique findings. This includes categorizing each finding using the following definitions.

Deficiency - demonstrated or observed inadequacies, whether a single isolated case or a collection of observations, that indicate the state of emergency preparedness is not adequate to protect the health and safety of the public.

Weakness - demonstrated or observed inadequacies, that require corrective action, but when considered by themselves do not adversely impact the health and safety of the public.

Improvement - demonstrated or observed problem areas that are not Items considered to adversely affect the health and safety of the public, but correction would enhance the level of preparedness.

Evaluators should identify the root cause and, if possible, provide a solution for each weakness or deficiency.

The Emergency Preparedness Department conducts a meeting of the Lead Evaluators where categorized critique items are formatted for presentation to CNS Sr. Management. Exercise findings are then presented to the NRC. The Emergency Preparedness Manager will ensure that Exercise findings are tracked and resolved as appropriate.

At the conclusion ofjoint exercises, FEMA, NRC, and state observers will also conduct critiques. Formal evaluations of these exercises published by federal or state authorities will be reviewed by NPPD management. Areas found to be deficient or weak will be identified and corrective actions implemented.

The Safety Review and Audit Board, as well as the NPPD Quality Assurance Department, will perform periodic audits of the plan and may serve as observers during the exercises.

8.2.2 Drills A drill is a supervised instruction period aimed at testing, developing, and maintaining skills in a particular operation.

Emergency drills are conducted on a scheduled basis with emphasis placed upon the orderly implementation of activities prescribed within the Emergency Plan and EPIPs. Guidelines for administering drills are in place to ensure a quality drill program.

Drill performance is critiqued by personnel acting as drill evaluators who may offer on-the-spot corrections to deficient performance. Each evaluator is assigned to evaluate drill performance in a specific area of emergency Rev 46 8-5

response. A written evaluation of drill performance is provided to CNS Management by the Emergency Preparedness Manager.

Based on the results of these critiques, including participants' comments, follow-up action is then recommended by the Emergency Preparedness Manager, with action items assigned by the appropriate level of management.

Drills for the station staff are conducted periodically to: (1) test response timing and familiarity with implementing procedures and methods, (2) test emergency equipment, (3) ensure that emergency response organization personnel are familiar with their duties. Certain drills (i.e., fire, communications and notification, and medical emergency) are coordinated with offsite participating agencies. The Emergency Preparedness Manager has the overall responsibility for preparing, scheduling, and conducting emergency drills.

A brief description of the type of drills conducted at CNS follows:

8.2.2.1 Fire Drills Fire drills are conducted in accordance with plant Technical Specifications.

8.2.2.2 Medical Emergency Drills A medical emergency drill or exercise involving the treatment of a simulated contaminated person is conducted once per calendar year with provision for participation by local support service agencies.

8.2.2.3 Radiological Monitoring Drills These drills are conducted annually for onsite and offsite personnel assigned to radiation survey and monitoring teams.

They shall include operation of instruments, tests of field communications equipment, interpretation of radiation readings, calculation of dose rates, collection of sample media (soil, water, vegetation, and air) and record keeping.

8.2.2.4 Radiological Protection Drills Radiological Protection drills are conducted semi-annually, generally in connection with joint exercises or radiological monitoring drills. They involve analyses of simulated elevated radiation levels, both liquid and airborne, as well as direct radiation measurements in the environment.

Analyses of inplant liquid samples including the use of the postaccident sampling system will be conducted on an annual basis.

Rev 46 8-6

8.2.2.5 Communications Drills Communications systems are periodically tested during normal use, CNS security checks, and scheduled tests, as well as during emergency drills and exercises. The CNS telephone system, microwave communications system, site radio system and plant intercom system are used daily during normal plant operation. The NRC ENS is tested daily by phone check from NRC Headquarters and monthly from CNS to NRC Headquarters from the Control Room, Technical Support Center (TSC), and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). The NRC Health Physics Network (HPN) direct telephone is tested monthly from the TSC, and EOF.

The State Notification Telephone System is tested monthly.

8.3 Emergency Preparedness Department To ensure the maintenance and implementation of the Emergency Preparedness Program, several Emergency Preparedness positions at CNS have been established. A CNS Emergency Preparedness Manager reports directly to the Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance. Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (EPC) positions have been established with each assigned a primary area of responsibility. Each EPC reports directly to the Emergency Preparedness Manager. An Emergency Preparedness Specialist (EPS) position has also been established to assist in the conduct of Emergency Preparedness Department Activities. The EPS reports directly to the Emergency Preparedness Manager.

These positions have been established to:

  • Maintain continued coordination with state and local emergency planners on the status of Emergency Preparedness including budgetary issues
  • Annual review and development of revisions to the CNS Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures
  • Coordinate the development and implementation of the annual exercise
  • Assist the EP Manager with the following:

  • Interface with other agency Public Information Officers.
  • Emergency planning public information material to include mailing list control revision, reprint, and mailout of the material.
  • Media interfaces which may include conferences, quarterly newspaper and radio ads for the CNS Alert and Notification System testing program, media monitoring, and JIC activities.
  • Training in the above areas.

8.5 Review and Update of the Emergency Plan The CNS Emergency Plan is reviewed annually and revised as necessary. The annual review and update is documented by the CNS Emergency Preparedness Manager. Special Rev 46 8-8

attention is devoted to reviewing station-government agency interfaces, maintaining effective communication channels, and, on a quarterly basis, ensuring the accuracy of the contact and notification lists to verify telephone numbers and the responsible individuals to be contacted. Liaison with state and local agencies ensures uniform updating and plan improvement. All revisions shall be reviewed and approved by the Station Operations Review Committee prior to implementation.

Independent audits of the various aspects of the Emergency Preparedness program are conducted annually by NPPD Quality Assurance Personnel and the Safety Review and Audit Board and wvill be conducted as outlined in the Quality Assurance Program for Operations Policy Document. The independent audit includes, but is not limited to, the Emergency Plan, Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, training, readiness testing, equipment, and interfaces with state and local organizations. The results are considered by NPPD management in modifying aspects of the plan. Audit documentation is maintained for at least five years. Revised or updated emergency plans and procedures are handled in accordance with document control procedures as delineated in the CNS Operations Manual. Distribution is controlled by the Emergency Preparedness Manager, via the Document Control Department.

8.6 Maintenance and Inventory of Emergency Equipment and Supplies Quarterly inspections of the operational readiness of items of emergency equipment and supplies are conducted. Deficiencies noted during inspections are corrected in a timely manner. The use of EPIP 5.7.21, Maintaining Emergency Preparedness - Emergency Exercises, Drills, Tests, and Evaluations, in conjunction with the CNS Preventative Maintenance Tracking System, and Emergency Preparedness Departmental Guides ensure equipment is ready for use. Sufficient reserves of instruments and equipment are maintained to replace those undergoing calibration or repair. Calibration of equipment is conducted at intervals set forth in Technical Specifications. In addition, the planned use of communications, first aid, fire fighting and radiation measuring equipment during scheduled drills further ensures the availability and operability of emergency equipment.

Rev 46 8-9

9.0 Recovery This section of the Emergency Plan describes the initiating conditions and transitional steps required to move from Emergency Response Organization operations into Recovery Operations.

With the safety of the public and station personnel being of the utmost priority, recovery operations allow for a smooth transition from the Emergency Response Organization operations to normal day-to-day operations.

Recovery operations will include measures taken during and immediately following the emergency, as well as, the longer term post-emergency efforts. These operations will be performed by station and other NPPD personnel, and, if required, by contract technical and labor support. Manpower and equipment resources supporting the individual functional segments of the Recovery Organization will vary according to the severity of damage and specific situational needs.

The Emergency Director will evaluate the effectiveness of corrective actions and determine if the emergency is under control. The following station conditions will serve as general guidelines for decisions whether the emergency is under control:

  • Radiation levels are stable or decreasing with time.
  • Releases of radioactive materials to the environment have ceased or are controlled within permissible license limits.
  • Fire, flooding, or similar emergency conditions no longer constitute a hazard to the station or station personnel.
  • Measures have been successfully instituted to correct or compensate for malfunctioning equipment.

Based on the consideration of these criteria as well as other pertinent items, the Emergency Director shall determine when to activate the Recovery Panel.

9.1 Recovery Panel If, after evaluating the effectiveness of corrective actions, the Emergency Director determines that the emergency is under control, he will activate the Recovery Panel.

The panel may consist of the following personnel:

  • Emergency Director
  • Vice-President Nuclear or his designee
  • Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Director
  • Public Affairs Director (fIC)
  • Radiological Control Manager (EOF)

Personnel acting on this panel can either be physically present or connected by telephone conference from their various emergency response facilities. The purpose of the Recovery Panel is to evaluate emergency termination considerations, determine plant Rev 46 9-1

status parameters, and the planning and implementation of recovery operations. A time frame can then be established for securing emergency response and de-escalation of the emergency classification for recovery, if not already completed. Based upon this information, the Vice-President Nuclear or his designee may initiate the Recovery Organization.

9.2 Recovery Organization Once the decision has been made to activate the Recovery Organization, NPPD Emergency Response Facilities and their personnel shall be informed (via briefings, Public Address systems, telephones, etc.).

The Public Affairs Director shall inform personnel at the JIC of the activation of the Recovery Organization. Depending upon the amount of media interest, the JIC may be deactivated at this time. Public Affairs duties and responsibilities would then be assumed by the Corporate Communications & Public Relations Manager and staff. Other personnel at the JIC return to their normal work stations and support the recovery effort through their normal position functions.

The Emergency Director or his alternate shall inform personnel in the EOF, TSC, OSC, and Control Room of the activation of the Recovery Organization.

Depending upon current conditions, any of these facilities may be deactivated at this time. Once deactivated, personnel in these facilities would return to their normal work stations and support the recovery effort through their normal position functions. The Recovery Organization is the same as the normal Nuclear Power Group Organization, described in Section 5, except the Corporate Communications & Public Relations Manager and the Corporate Environmental Manager are included in the organization.

9.3 Recovery Exposure Control The General Manager of Plant Operations is responsible for ensuring that the Radiation Protection Manager evaluates the advisability of initiating re-entry. Information on existing conditions, interviews with employees involved in the emergency, regulatory dose guidelines, and, when necessary, counsel from recognized experts will be utilized in formulating decisions on re-entry. The development and evaluation of these operations will be under the direction of the General Manager of Plant Operations. General Office support personnel will aid in the requisition of technical assistance, increased manpower, and special equipment.

During recovery and re-entry operations, actions will be preplanned to minimize the amount of radiation dose to personnel. Access to areas will be controlled and radiation dose will be documented. Estimates of total population dose will be coordinated with state and federal authorities.

9.4 Nuclear Safety Committees Normal safety review organizations, Station Operations and Review Committee (SORC) and Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB) will continue to function throughout all recovery activities.

Rev 46 9-2

9.4.1 Station Operations Review Committee (SORC)

An onsite nuclear safety committee is provided to review all matters pertaining to nuclear safety in the operation of the nuclear facility. This committee is advisory to the General Manager of Plant Operations and the chairman is designated in writing by the General Manager of Plant Operations.

Committee membership, responsibilities and authorities are detailed in the Quality Assurance Program for Operation Policy Document and station procedures.

9.4.2 Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB)

An offsite nuclear safety committee is provided to perform independent review and audit of station activities. SRAB is advisory in nature. Committee membership, responsibilities, and authorities are detailed in the Quality Assurance Program for Operation Policy Document and SRAB Instructions and Guidelines.

Controlled copies of the CNS EPIPs are maintained in all Emergency Response Facilities.

Summaries of each EPIP and a cross-reference to the appropriate section of the CNS Emergency Plan is provided below.

5.7.1 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION This procedure provides a means of classifying an event into one of four emergency classifications as described in Section 4.0 of the Emergency Plan.

The procedure establishes four basic modules which depict the eight types of events which could occur at CNS (radiological, fission product barrier threat or loss, operational, power or alarms, fire flammable toxic, security, natural phenomenon, and other hazards. These events are abnormal conditions considered to be those initiating events upon which all emergencies categorized within the Emergency Action Levels are based (see Section 4.1 of the Emergency Plan).

5.7.2 SHIFT SUPERVISOR EPIP This procedure provides a series of actions to be taken upon declaration of an Emergency Classification. Personnel shall be directed to use additional procedures to adequately respond to an emergency event. Certain actions may still need to be performed by the Shift Manager, as requested by the Emergency Director, after command and control of the emergency response has been transferred to the EOF.

5.7.6 NOTIFICATION This procedure provides notification instructions to be followed upon declaration of an emergency condition. These include initial, follow-up, and event termination notifications to responsible state and local governmental agencies and NRC notifications prior to TSC activation.

Upon declaration of an emergency condition, all notifications and communications will be handled from the Control Room (CR) until the Technical Support Center (TSC) and/or the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) are activated. All telephone numbers needed for notification or follow-up information transmission are in the Emergency Telephone Directory located in the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, and other designated areas.

5.7.7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITY (ERF) ACTIVATION 5.7.8 PROCEDURES 5.7.8.1, 5.7.9, 5.7.9.1 These procedures describe the sequence of events and the staffing requirements for the activation of the TSC (5.7.7), OSC (5.7.8), Alternate OSC (5.7.8.1, EOF (5.7.9), and the Alternate EOF (5.7.9.1). They provide further information on the functions of the CNS ERFs (see section 7.2 of the Emergency Plan) and provide responsibilities of key emergency response personnel.

Rev 46 A-2

5.7.10 PERSONNEL ASSEMBLY AND ACCOUNTABILITY This procedure describes the immediate and on-going emergency personnel assembly and accountability actions to be taken by all onsite personnel including ERO members, security personnel, contractors, and visitors in the event of a station emergency. It also provides a means to ascertain the names of missing individuals within 30 minutes and account for all onsite individuals continuously thereafter.

Since each site employee, security officer, visitor, and contractor is assigned a designated assembly area and each area is assigned a Designated Assembly Area Supervisor (DAAS) personnel accountability, in accordance with the discussions in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, is assured.

5.7.11 EARLY DISMISSAL/EVACUATION OF SITE PERSONNEL As discussed in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, in the event of an emergency situation it may be desirable to minimize the number of non-ERO personnel onsite. If the emergency involves a radiological release or the potential for a release, then evacuation of non-ERO personnel is desirable, or may be required, to minimize exposure to radioactive material.

This procedure provides an efficient means for evacuation of personnel from isolated areas or from the plant site in its entirety. Furthermore, it provides a definition of the duties and responsibilities of designated supervisory personnel associated with site evacuation.

5.7.12 EMERGENCY RADIATION EXPOSURE CONTROL As indicated in Section 6.6 of the Emergency Plan, under certain emergency conditions it may become necessary for emergency workers to receive dose in excess of occupational limits established by 10CFR20. Dose limits for workers performing emergency services are contained in this procedure.

As indicated in the Emergency Plan and procedure, the Emergency Director has the authority to authorize dose in excess of occupational limits. This dose is only justifiable if it is determined that benefits are being achieved, the dose is commensurate with the significance of the objective, and every reasonable effort is being made to maintain emergency workers dose As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).

The primary purpose of this procedure is to provide policy guidance, address required authorization, and set forth maximum criteria for emergency radiation dose control in the event emergency workers are required to exceed established annual dose limits.

5.7.13 PERSONNEL MONITORING AND DECONTAMINATION As discussed in Section 6.6 of the Emergency Plan, the objectives of personnel decontamination techniques are to promptly reduce radiation dose; to minimize the absorption of radionuclides, particularly radioiodine, into the body; and to prevent the spread of localized contamination.

Rev 46 A-3

This procedure provides instructions for decontamination of station personnel during emergency conditions utilizing normal decontamination facilities or alternate areas if necessary.

5.7.14 STABLE IODIDE THYROID BLOCKING (KI)

The purpose of this procedure is to define under what emergency conditions Potassium Iodide (KI) should be administered to station personnel and who has the authority to determine when and at what dosages KI should be administered. The procedure also provides a discussion of the effectiveness of KI, the recommended dosage, as well as any precautions and potential side effects.

As indicated in Section 7.7 of the Emergency Plan, KI tablets are stored in the CNS emergency lockers and are available on a voluntary basis to emergency response personnel as conditions dictate. These tablets will be dispensed only with the permission of the Emergency Director (also see Section 6.5.5 of the Emergency Plan).

5.7.15 OSC TEAM DISPATCH As defined in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, if station personnel are unaccounted for in the initial or subsequent emergency accountability, the Emergency Director will assign an emergency team to locate, and if necessary, rescue them.

This procedure provides guidance and requirements necessary to conduct efficient rescue and re-entry operations. It presents the organization and operation of Rescue and Re-Entry Teams and identifies the precautions which should be observed by the Rescue and Re-Entry Teams (including equipment carried during search and rescue operations).

5.7.16 RELEASE RATE DETERMINATION This procedure describes methodology for the manual determination of airborne radioactive release rates from the Elevated Release Point, reactor building vent, the turbine building vent, and the augmented radwaste building vent utilizing effluent monitor readings.

Upon determination of release rates, actual or projected plume exposure dose may be calculated in accordance with EPIP 5.7.17, "Dose Assessment." This dose provides a basis for relating plume exposure dose to the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs) in accordance with EPIP 5.7.20, "Protective Action Recommendations." (See Section 6.3 of the Emergency Plan.)

5.7.17 DOSE ASSESSMENT This procedure provides a means for personnel to quickly predict offsite dose rates and integrated dose based on meteorological data, release rates, and dispersion.

Rev 46 AX4

5.7.18 OFFSITE AND SITE BOUNDARY MONITORING In the event of an accidental radiological release, data obtained from offsite survey will be used to assess the magnitude of the release and to determine which offsite areas have been affected by the release. As indicated in Section 4.2 of the Emergency Plan, CNS will deploy field monitoring teams for initial offsite monitoring prior to the arrival of responding state teams. The CNS teams will remain in the field and assist the State(s) Teams as required.

Data obtained through the offsite survey shall be utilized to determine actual release rates, deposition rates, and actual dose. Dose assessments provide a basis for decision making concerning recommendation of appropriate protective actions in accordance with EPIP 5.7.20, Protective Action Recommendations. Offsite survey data will be used in conjunction with onsite release rate determination and dose assessment capabilities to accurately determine offsite consequences of an accident condition.

This procedure describes the emergency offsite and site boundary radiological monitoring and field surveys to be undertaken in the event of an airborne release of radioactive gases from CNS. Instructions for the implementation of the program, locating sampling points, collecting samples, and performing field surveys are provided.

5.7.19 ONSITE RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING In the event of an accidental release involving radionuclides, data obtained from the onsite survey will be used to make initial assessments concerning the magnitude of the accident and decisions concerning evacuation of site personnel.

Principal concerns for accidental radioactive releases, particularly gaseous releases, include limiting internal dose through appropriate respiratory protection equipment, anticontamination clothing, limiting external dose by identifying areas of high radiation, and containment of the material to prevent the spreading of contamination or release to the environs.

This procedure describes the emergency onsite radiological monitoring necessary to determine dose rates, airborne particulate, noble gas, and radioiodine activity levels due to an accidental release of radionuclides. The onsite survey entails the interior space of all station buildings.

5.7.20 PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS Dose estimates (which population groups may potentially receive) are calculated according to the dose assessment methodology described in EPIP 5.7.17, Dose Assessment. These dose estimates are referred to as projected dose. A protective action is an action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose when the benefits derived from such action are sufficient to offset any undesirable features of the protective action.

This procedure provides a basis for relating actual or projected plume exposure dose to the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs) in order to recommend the appropriate protective actions to the county or state governments. (See Sections 6.5 and 6.6.)

Rev 46 A-5

5.7.21 MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - EMERGENCY EXERCISES.

TESTS AND EVALUATIONS This procedure provides a means of ensuring the operational readiness and availability of equipment required for the immediate action steps of all four Emergency Classification action levels. This procedure also provides instructions for documenting the completion of periodic surveillances, tests, drills, and training to ensure availability, operability, and reliability.

As an emergency situation progresses, conditions may arise which require augmentation of emergency equipment. The necessary equipment will be utilized on an as-needed basis to support the emergency operations. (See Section 6.5.2 of the Emergency Plan.)

5.7.23 ACTIVATION OF THE JIC This procedure describes the sequence of events and the staffing requirements for the activation of the Joint Information Center (JIC). It provides further information on the functions of the JIC and its interaction with CNS ERF's (see Section 7.2 of the Emergency Plan) and provides responsibilities of key emergency response personnel.

5.7.24 MEDICAL EMERGENCY As delineated in Section 6.6.3 and 6.6.4 of the Emergency Plan, arrangements with local organizations have been made for the transportation and care of injured/contaminated personnel.

This procedure details the treatment of injured personnel during a radiological emergency.

The topics addressed by the procedure are: (1) aid to contaminated and non-contaminated injured personnel on site, and (2) transportation and treatment of injured personnel. It also provides information on local offsite facilities and the actions to be taken by offsite personnel.

5.7.25 RECOVERY OPERATIONS This procedure describes recovery operations necessary to identify the extent of station damage and radiological contamination (if any) and return the station to an operating status in compliance with the Technical Specifications.

Recovery operations will include measures taken during and immediately following the emergency, as well as, the longer term post-emergency efforts. These operations will be performed by station and other NPPD personnel, and, if required, by contract technical and labor support. Manpower and equipment resources supporting the individual functional segments of the Recovery Organization will vary according to the severity of damage and specific situational needs.

5.7.26 LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING Rev 46 A-6

Methods to be used for evaluating long-term environmental consequences and analyses of trends involving key isotopes of radioactive material released from CNS are described in this procedure. Immediate collection and analysis of samples from impacted areas following a release shall be conducted in accordance with EPIP 5.7.18, Offsite And Site Boundary Monitoring. Long-term environmental monitoring and trend analyses shall be conducted in accordance with EPIP 5.7.26. Appropriate protective measures are also discussed. (Also see Section 7.5.5 of the Emergency Plan.)

5.7.27, ALERT AND NOTIFICATION SYSTEM 5.7.27.1 &

5.7.27.2 The purpose of these procedures are to describe the CNS Alert And Notification System within the Plume Exposure Pathway (10-Mile EPZ) of Cooper Nuclear Station. This system was set up to meet prompt notification requirements for Cooper Nuclear Station. It was also designed for response to any disaster, fire, flood, tornado, etc., where prompt notification of the public is desirable.

As indicated in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, the CNS Early Warning System consists of fixed sirens covering areas of high population density and tone activated Emergency Alert System (EAS) radios in the low population density rural areas.

The fixed siren system is composed of 24 pole mounted sirens.

The EAS tone activated radios are in residences located within the rural 10-Mile EPZ in areas outside the effective range of the fixed sirens. These radios are pretuned to Emergency Alert Stations (KFAB-I 110 kHz Omaha, within the Nebraska EPZ and KFEQ-680 kHz St. Joseph, within the Missouri EPZ) and are automatically activated when the EAS stations sound tones.

5.7.28 ADMINISTRATION OF POSITIONAL INSTRUCTION MANUALS (PIMS)

This procedure provides guidance on the revision and control of the Positional Instructional Manuals (PIMs). This procedure shall ensure proposed changes to the PIMs are properly evaluated and approved prior to implementation. This shall prevent any potential degradation to the CNS Emergency Plan and its associated implementing procedures.

5.7COMMUN COMMUNICATIONS As presented in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of the Emergency Plan, the Emergency Response Organization has available to it various types of communications equipment which allow for effective communication to both onsite and offsite groups. This procedure provides a description of these systems and very basic instructions for their use.

Letters of Agreement (LOAs) supporting the CNS Emergency Plan are listed on the following page, with their effective dates, and are incorporated in the Emergency Plan by reference. The Emergency Plan signature page verifies a signed copy of a current Letter of Agreement is on file per this Appendix. This Appendix is updated at each revision of the Emergency Plan. Copies of the current Letters of Agreement are maintained in the Emergency Preparedness office.

Letters of Agreement are reviewed annually by the CNS Emergency Planning Coordinator, or his designee. Each organization is then contacted. The type of support defined in the letters is discussed to determine if any significant changes have occurred. If significant changes have occurred, a Letter of Agreement is requested from the agency. If there are no significant changes, the Letters of Agreement are certified current by the CNS Emergency Planning Coordinator and documented with a record of telephone conversation or other appropriate documentation. A change in original signatory(ies) to a given Letter of Agreement does not in itself require revision of that Letter.

The documentation associated with this review process is maintained by the CNS Emergency Planning Coordinator.
