Description:

Guidance for initial classification, declaration, reclassification, and misclassification was deleted from Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) 5. 7.1, Emergency Classification, and was relocated to new EPIP 5. 7 .1.1, Emergency Classification Process. Emergency Directors will use this new EPIP to assess plant conditions, maintain oversight of their emergency response facility, obtain independent reviews of emergency action levels, and conduct joint discussions with other emergency response facilities for classification prior to declaring an emergency event. EPIP 5. 7 .1 continues to provide the formal set of threshold conditions necessary to classify an event as required per 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4). EPIP 5.7.1.1 is not considered part of the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Emergency Plan as it does not include content meeting the requirements for inclusion in the Emergency Plan per 10 CFR 50.4 7 or Regulatory Guide 1.219. Change Summary of Analysis (10 CFR 50.54(q) Screen): The emergency planning impact screen determined the changes did not impact a planning standard or program element and as such, did not require completion of a full 10 CFR 50.54(q) evaluation. Emergency Plan, Revision 76 Change

Description:

Emergency Plan, Appendix A, was revised to add new EPIP 5.7.1.1 to the list of implementing procedures as well as a brief description of the procedure.

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 approximately 830 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. An independent spent fuel storage installation is located within the Protected Area of CNS. 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 0 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 7 OF 192

1. DEFINITIONS The following are definitions of tenns commonly used in the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Emergency Plan.

1.1 Annual - Once during every calendar year. 1.2 Assessment Actions - Actions taken during or after an emergency to obtain and process information necessary to detennine the character and magnitude of the emergency and specific corrective emergency measures. 1.3 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. 1.4 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. 1.5 Corrective Actions - Measures tc;1ken to reduce the severity of, or-tenninate an 0 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. 1.6 Dosimeter of Legal Record (DLR) - A radiation dose monitoring device. A device used to determine an individual's accumulated external occupational radiation exposure including Deep Dose Equivalent (ODE), Lens Dose Equivalent (LOE), and Shallow Dose Equivalent (SOE). The term DLR is inclusive of Optically Stimulated Luminescent Dosimeters (OSLDs) and Thennoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs).

1. 7 Emergency 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 Emergency Response Facility which is the focal point for overall NPPD Management of an emergency at CNS, and coordination of off-site radiologicar 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 8 OF 192

1.10 Hostile Action - An act toward a nuclear power plant or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. 1.11 Information Authentication Center - That portion of the EOF where information concerning the emergency is gathered, coordinated, and disseminated. 1.12 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. 1.13 Joint Information Center (JIC) - The Off-Site Emergency Response Facility which is the prime location for coordinating news releases of information concerning the emergency between Utility, State, and Federal representatives. Employee information and rumor control activities are also coordinated from this location . 1.14 Legal Record - A document that satisfies State and Federal Regulations concerning radiation exposure to individuals. 1.15 Local Emergency 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. Q 1.16 Operational Support Center (OSC) - The On-Site Emergency Response Facility from which Emergency Repair Teams, Monitoring Teams, Damage Control Teams, in-plant assignments, or other emergency response activities are coordinated and dispatched. The OSC is under the direction of the OSC Supervisor. 1.17 Plume Exposure Pathway - 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. 1.18 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. 1.19 Protective Actions - Actions taken to prevent or minimize radiological exposure. These may include in-house shelter, evacuation, respiratory protection, and thyroid blocking. 1.20 Protective Action Guides - The projected radiological dose which warrants protective action to minimize exposure to radioactive material. (

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 9 OF 192

1.21 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. 1.22 State Emergency 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 off-site emergency operations and the protection of the affected population. 1.23 Technical Support Center (TSC) - The On-Site 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 on-site corrective action implementation during an emergency. This facility is under the direction of the TSC Director.

2. SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 2.1 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.

2.2 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. 2.3 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 and the State of Missouri Nuclear Accident 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. 2.4 In addition to State and Local support, Federal agencies may also provide assistance in accordance with the National Response Framework (NRF) (i.e., Department of Homeland Security (OHS), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Energy (DOE), Coast Guard, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)). The NRG, acting as the coordinating agency, has technical leadership for the Federal government's response to an event. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 1 0 OF 192

2.5 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.

SUMMARY

OF THE NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT (NPPD) CNS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.1 Nuclear power plant emergency plans are required to fulfill the requirements of 10CFR50.47 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 detennine the adequacy of State and Local Plans. Together, the two agencies determine the adequacy of overall emergency preparedness. 3.2 The CNS Emergency Plan has been structured with NRC and FEMA guidance contained in NUREG-0654, Rev. 1 (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, Rev. 1 (FEMA REP 1). 3.3 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. 0 3.4 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. 3.5 The CNS Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is responsible for on-site emergency operations and for maintaining a continuous flow of accurate radiological and station status infonnation to off-site emergency authorities. 3.6 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 - 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 described in NRC Endorsed Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Document 99-01, Revision 5, Methodology For Development of Emergency Action Levels.

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 11 OF 192

  • Section 5 - Organizational Control of Emergencies - Describes the function and responsibilities of the CNS emergency response organization. Interfaces with off-site 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 - Emergency Measures - Describes the activation of the emergency response organization, assessment of plant conditions, initiation of protective and corrective actions on-site, recommendation of protective actions off-site, and measures to aid injured or contaminated personnel.
  • Section 7 - Emergency Response Facilities and Equipment - Describes facilities, emergency response equipment, and communications systems (on-site and off-site) available to assess emergency conditions, support emergency operations, notify off-site support agencies, provide aid to injured or contaminated personnel, and to control and mitigate incident-related damage.
  • Section 8 - Maintaining Emergency 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 - Recovery - Defines, in general terms, post-emergency re-entry 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 B contains the cross-reference of the CNS Emergency Plan to NUREG-0654, Rev 1, (FEMA REP 1).

4. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS CNS maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant Operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.

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. 1. The initiating conditions of NRG endorsed document NEI 99-01, Revision 5, *Methodology For Development of Emergency Action Levels", 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:

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • To provide a means for setting in motion appropriate, prearranged, near-term emergency actions by affected parties.

4.1 CLASSIFICATIONS The four classifications of emergencies are:

  • NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT
  • ALERT
  • SITE AREA EMERGENCY
  • GENERALEMERGENC Y 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 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 13 OF 192

4.1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT 4.1.1.1 Events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. These types of events may progress to a more severe emergency classification if they are not mitigated. Therefore, appropriate off-site 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. 4.1.1.2 The purpose of this classification and its associated off-site 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 on-site 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 0 required. 4.1.1.3 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 4.1.2.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. At this classification, minor releases of radioactivity may occur or may have occurred. Operator modification of station operating status is a probable corrective action if such modification has not already been accomplished by automatic protection systems. 4.1.2.2 Upon declaration of an ALERT, notifications will be made (see Section 7.4 ). Notifying off-site 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 14 OF 192

4.1.2.3 The ALERT status is maintained until the event is downgraded, terminated, or escalated to a more severe emergency class. 4.1.2.4 Table 4.1-2 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-6 lists expected actions for the ALERT classification. 4.1.3 SITE AREA EMERGENCY 4.1.3.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or, (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. 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. 4.1.3.2 Upon declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY, non-ERO personnel are evacuated, monitoring teams are dispatched, off-site authorities are apprised of the emergency, the JIC is manned and activated, and periodic updates to the public are provided. 4.1.3.3 The SITE AREA EMERGENCY status is maintained until the event is 0 downgraded, terminated, or escalated to a GENERAL EMERGENCY. 4.1.3.4 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 4.1.4.1 Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area. The GENERAL EMERGENCY reflects conditions that may affect the general public. The GENERAL EMERGENCY declaration initiates pre-determined 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 off-site authorities, and provides periodic updates for the public. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 15 OF 192 I

4.1.4.2 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. 4.1.4.3 The GENERAL EMERGENCY status is maintained until the event is downgraded or terminated. 4.1.4.4 Table 4.1-4 lists Emergency Action Levels and Table 4.1-8 lists expected actions for the GENERAL EMERGENCY classification. 4.2 OFF-SITE RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT 4.2.1 The station will perform a preliminary assessment of the off-site 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. 4.2.2 The primary method for determining the radioactive release rate uses monitored release points. Effluent radiation monitor readings are available for CJ the Elevated Release Point, Turbine Building Vent, Reactor Building Vent, and Radwaste/Augmented Radwaste Building Vents. 4.2.3 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. 4.2.4 The dose rate and integrated dose are based on duration of release, release rates, meteorological data, and atmospheric dispersion factors. 4.2.5 The radioiodine concentration is obtained by multiplying the radioiodine release rate by the dispersion factor. The Committed Dose Equivalent (COE) is determined by multiplying the air concentration by the exposure time and then by the dose conversion factor. 4.2.6 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 16 OF 192

4.2. 7 Upon activation of the EOF and the State Emergency Operations Centers, the affected state assumes primary responsibility for confirmatory and continuing off-site radiological assessment. This is accomplished by dispatching state Field Monitoring Teams and by analyzing data provided by the CNS Field Monitoring Teams. CNS will deploy Field Monitoring Teams for initial off-site monitoring prior to the arrival of responding State Field 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 4.3.1 A number of accident scenarios which might occur at CNS have been analyzed in Chapter XIV of the CNS Updated Safety Analysis Report and within the Transnuclear NUHOMS Updated Final 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 spent fuel storage installation 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.

Off-site 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 NRG on-site 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 EOG 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 Field 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 Teams and the HHSRL Radiological Field 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 44 OF 192

5.4.2 THE STATE OF MISSOURI 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 Department of Health and Senior Services, through the Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology, is responsible for aU 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 off-site consequences and to keep the State EOG 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 off-site 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 0 timely information to State and Local Response Forces. Atchison County authorities are notified through the Atchison County 911 Center. The 911 Center 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 45 OF 192 I

5.4.4 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION The NRG 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. When NPPD notifies the NRG 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 off-site radiological effects and develop projections of on-site and off-site effects for the use of other federal, state, and local agencies. The NRG may offer specific advice to NPPD to help solve or limit the consequences of the problem. The NRG is prepared to amend or change CNS Technical Specifications or to issue formal orders if NPPD should fail to take whatever actions the NRG deems necessary to Rrotect the public. The Chairman of the Commission is the senior NRG authority for all aspects of emergency response and will become the "Director" of all NRG activities and personnel. Normally, the Chairman will delegate responsibilities to a "Deputy Director" 0 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 NRG "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:

  • Authority to recommend actions to the licensee.
  • Authority to direct the licensee to take specific actions.
  • 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 NRG in interactions with other agencies, and will decide what response actions must be taken, consistent with the delegated authority.

6. 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 EMERGENCY ALARMS When an emergency condition exists that could affect the safety of station personnel, the appropriate alann will be manually activated and an announcement made from Control Room. If the condition involves a fire, the fire alann 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 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS The four classes of emergencies defined in Section 4 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. The transition from the nonnal operating organization to the emergency response organization involves the following steps:

  • Notify the emergency response organization members who are off-site, or are on-site 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 ON-SITE PLANT PERSONNEL Plant personnel on-site are notified by an emergency alarm and announcement as described in Section 6.1 and EPIP 5.7.2. 6.2.2 OFF-SITE PLANT PERSONNEL Plant personnel (ERO) off-site are notified in accordance with EPIP 5.7.2. This is normally accomplished via the CNS Automated Notification System. A listing u of telephone numbers for notification of ERO members is maintained by the Emergency Preparedness Department. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 54 OF 192 j

6.2.3 JOINT INFORMATION CENTER (JIC) EPIPs 5. 7.2, Emergency Director EPIP, and 5. 7.6, Notification, define how General Office personnel are notified. Depending upon the situation, the JIC may be activated. Personnel notification schemes and procedures for activating this facility are contained in EPIP 5.7.23. 6.2.4 OFF-SITE AUTHORITIES AND SUPPORT AGENCIES When an emergency classification is declared, CNS will initiate pre-determined 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 off-site 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. Off-site 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 (FfS-ENS) in accordance with EPIPs 5.7.6 and 5.7ENS. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 55 OF 192

6.3 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS The assessment of station conditions, radiation levels, and off-site 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 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 pre-established limit~ are reached. These systems will monitor radioactive releases during accident conditions. 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:

  • 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.

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 56 OF 192

  • 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. Off-site concentrations of radionuclides and radiation dose rates are determined by NPPD and State Field Monitoring Teams. Once the EOF is operational, Field Monitoring 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 1.0x10-7 µCi/cc (microcuries per cubic centimeter). Field information is used to validate dose projections and to assist in determining the adequacy of protective 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. 0 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 (1) 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. The potential nature of some emergencies may warrant the utilization of off-site individuals, organizations, and agencies. As a result, local support service arrangements have been made with off-site groups to provide on-site aid in the event of an emergency situation, including those resulting from hostile actions. Corrective actions may also involve response by the following: EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 57 OF 192

  • FIRE BRIGADE The CNS Fire Brigade will respond to station fire calls. The Fire Brigade is composed of the Fire Brigade Leader, two Station Operators, and two other individuals qualified as Fire Brigade members, in accordance with station procedures. If off-site firefighting assistance is required, including that caused by hostile action, fire response including fire apparatus and firefighters will normally be requested by the CNS Control Room to the Nemaha County 911 Dispatch Center and implemented using the National Incident Management System (NIMS).

Mutual aid may also be requested via the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Off-Site Fire Department(s) will be 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 On-site 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. 0 Protective actions for on-site 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 on-site personnel in other emergency situations such as fires, floods, tornadoes, or security related events where personnel safety is threatened. A range of protective actions to protect on-site personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan. An alternative facility, with communication capabilities for contacting the Control Room, plant security, and the EOF is available to serve as a staging area for Augmented Emergency Response Staff if the site is not accessible or the site is under threat _of or experiencing hostile action. 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 safety would be threatened. In this situation, on-site 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 58 OF 192

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 off-site authorities. Protective actions for off-site 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 (ANS) 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 ANS is activated. This system was established to meet the prompt notification requirements established by the NRG and was designed for response to any disaster where prompt notification of the public is desirable. The design basis and rationales for the ANS is in the ANS Design Report. Details pertaining to physical and administrative controls of this system are also found in this document. The ANS includes fixed sirens and digitally-activated National Oceanic and (J Atmospheric Administration/Emergency Alert System (NOAA/EAS) Radio Receivers. These 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 ANS, 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 when instructing the general public on what actions should be taken. Approximately 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 NOAA/EAS radio will be repaired or replaced. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 59 OF 192

Back-up ANS methods have been established and are implemented by the Local Emergency Management Agencies. The back-up ANS for Atchison County, Missouri is Route Alerting. Route Alerting maps can be found in Atchison County Transportation and Fire Department procedures. Atchison County also uses social media to provide emergency alerts to the public, as a back-up method. Instructions for Route Alerting and the use of social media can be found in the Atchison County procedures. The 10-mile EPZ population in Missouri is approximately 2,215 people based on the current Cooper Nuclear Station Evacuation Time Estimate. Based on the guidance contained in the above procedures, there is reasonable assurance that back-up ANS can be completed within the target time of 45 minutes. The back-up ANS for Nemaha and Richardson Counties in Nebraska is the cloud-based mass notification service "Southeast Nebraska Emergency Notification System (SEN ENS)". This system can send emergency messages to geo-coded (by address) telephones throughout the EPZ. Otoe County Emergency Management Agency is the sponsor of this system. The primary activation points for this system are located at the Nemaha County Emergency Management office, the Richardson County Emergency Management office, and the Otoe County Emergency Management office. Multiple activation points offer the advantage of back-up activation capability should one activation point lose activation capability. The 10-mile EPZ population in Nebraska is approximately 1,800 people based on the current Cooper Nuclear Station Evacuation Time Estimate. Thus, including the potential addition of households that have land-lines and cellular communication voice or SMS text devices, plus business and institutional addresses correspond to a maximum expected number of contacts to be made, there is reasonable assurance that back-up ANS can be completed on an area-wide bases within the target time of 45 minutes. 0 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 ON-SITE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Protective equipment is available on-site to minimize radiological dose and contamination, as well as firefighting 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 60 OF 192

6.5.3 PERSONNEL ASSEMBLY AND ACCOUNTABILITY When the emergency alarm is sounded, site visitors, contractors, and non-ERO on-site 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 off-site 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 Maintenance Facility. 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 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 ON-SITE Measures will be taken to prevent ingestion of radioactive materials deposited within the Site Boundary. Affected areas will be isolated. Details of contamination control measures for on-site 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 off-site sources or from on-site supplies stored in a contamination resistant location. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 61 OF 192

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. Radio protective tablets (Potassium Iodide) 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 (i.e., the requesting organization has inadequate supplies). 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. EPI P 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 1 mrem/hr above background (fixed contamination) and 220 dpm/100cm2 alpha activity or 2200 dpm/100cm2 beta-gamma activity above background (removable contamination). 6.5.5.2 OFF-SITE For areas beyond the site boundary, Nebraska and Missouri 0 Radiological Monitoring Teams, in coordination with CNS Monitoring Teams, will identify contamination and radiation levels. For areas where public access normally occurs, criteria for off-site areas will be applied. Criteria and measures for contamination control in off-site 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, rf 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 EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 62 OF 192

dose to emergency workers are based on recommendations of the U.S. EPA and are shown in Table 6.4-1. n 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 10CFR20 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 0 facilities are provided within the station. In the event the above are not available during an emergency, the CNS Communications Building 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. If off-site emergency medical response is required, including that caused by hostile action, emergency medical services including ambulances, EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 63 OF 192

and emergency medical technicians as requested by the CNS Control Room or TSC to the Nemaha County 911 Dispatch Center and implemented using the National Incident Management System (NIMS) has been arranged. Mutual aid may also be requested via the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. Off-site medical transport services will be escorted to the scene by Security personnel upon arrival. 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:

  • Obtaining the most rapid access to the necessary medical services and facilities.
  • Capabilities of the specific hospital to provide the required services.
  • Accessibility due to weather and road conditions.
  • Number of injured personnel to be transported.
  • Preference of the injured personnel, if the type and severity of the injury permit.

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:

  • Nemaha County Hospital, 2022 13th Street, Auburn, Nebraska.
  • University Nebraska Medical Center, Center for Clinical Excellence, East Side, 44th 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 64 OF 192

C TABLEO1 J ASSESSMENT ACTIONS ACTION DESCRIPTION The radiation level, pressure, temperature, flow, and meteorological data are monitored. Control Room Operators can assess plant status by observing sensor readout. Most sensors

7. EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT This section of the CNS Emergency Plan describes the Control Room and the Emergency Response Facilities, including on-site and off-site 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 0 The TSC (Figure 7.2-1) is the focal point for on-site 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., NRG notifications).
  • Temporarily assumes the role of the EOF in the event the EOF functions must be transferred.

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, select TSC personnel would relocate to the Control Room. Remaining TSC personnel would report to the AOSC. 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 68 OF 192

The TSC Ventilation System is comparable to the Control Room Ventilation System. Although not seismically qualified, redundant, or automatically 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 Eis 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, Utility 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 Training Center Classrooms H, I, and J (903' Level) have 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 at 902 Central Avenue in Auburn, Nebraska approximately 11 miles west of the plant site. The EOF performs the following functions:

  • Management of the off-site 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 off-site authorities.

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 69 OF 192

The EOF has sufficient space to accommodate CNS emergency response personnel and representatives from local, state, and federal response agencies. Field Monitoring T earns will be dispatched from the OSC and controlled from the EOF. Emergency equipment in the Communications Building, West Warehouse, and/or Field Monitoring Team vehicles consist of material and equipment needed for off-site monitoring and re-entry 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 off-site 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 off-site authorities. Personnel in the EOF and TSC have the capability to assess meteorological data, current p*lant 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 Emergency Management Agency's Mobile Operations Center (MOC) and the Nebraska State Patrol Mobile Command Post may be stationed adjacent to the EOF. These vehicles are self-sustaining with their own electrical power and communications systems. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 70 OF 192

7.2.4 JOINT INFORMATION CENTER The JIC is the media briefing area and is the focal point for contact with the media. The JIC (Figure 7.2-4) is located adjacent to the EOF at 902 Central Avenue in Auburn, NE. The JIC is jointly staffed by utility, State, and Federal personnel. The JIC carries out the following functions:

  • Coordinate the dissemination of infonnation to the news media.
  • Conduct media monitoring.
  • Maintain rumor control.
  • Provide NPPD employees with infonnation concerning the emergency.

To assure accurate and timely infonnation is available to the public, personnel manning the JIC have current infonnation on plant status available. A direct continuous line for communication is available between the JIC and the other ERFs. NPPD personnel are available to respond to any questions regarding plant status, radiological releases, protective actions, etc. The JIC contains up-to-date copies of station, state, and county emergency plans, maps of the CNS site area and its environs, regional maps, and station layout drawings. Other equipment, facilities, and services that will be located within, or near the JIC include communication links with the EOF and state Emergency Operations Centers, reproduction equipment, and word processing capability.

  • O Communication equipment available for this facility is shown on Table 7 .1-1.

Since public infonnation 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 lnfonnation Officers to infonn 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 JIC Support Staff will receive information on plant status from designated personnel located in the EOF and will interact with state Public Information Officers as required. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 71 OF 192

7.3 COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS AND NOTIFICATION 7.3.1 PLANT COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT* On-site communications are provided by:

  • Site PBX.
  • EOF and JIC telephones, which are connected to the CNS PBX via NPPD owned fiber cable backed up by leased circuits.
  • CNS On-Site Cell Phone System.
  • Station lntercom/Gaitronics.
  • Alternate Intercom System.
  • FM Radio Systems with remote control consoles located in the Control Room and the Central Alarm Station, Secondary Alarm Station, TSC, OSC, and EOF (further described in Sections 7.3.4.1 and 7.3.4.2).

7.3.2 TELEPHONE COMMUNICATIONS Telephone communications to off-site organizations are provided by the following:

  • Trunks in buried cable connecting PBX to the central office at Brownville, Nebraska.
  • Federal Telecommunications System (FTS) Telephone System including 0 Emergency Notification System (ENS) and Health Physics Network (HPN) circuits. The ENS circuit of this system is manned 24-hours a day at the Control Room .;ind NRC Headquarters.
  • Trunks connecting the PBX to the N.P.P.D. microwave telephone network.
  • Several local numbers connecting telephones located in several places throughout the plant to the local service provider's Central Office in Brownville, Nebraska.
  • The State Notification Telephone System's dedicated lines will ring the Nebraska State Patrol, Missouri State Patrol, Atchison County 911 Center, Nemaha County Sheriffs Department, and the Richardson County Sheriff's Office. The use of law enforcement agencies and emergency services dispatch centers as the initial points of contact provides 24-hour coverage.

The dedicated lines listed also have extension lines in the following facilities: Nebraska State Emergency Management Agency EOG, Missouri State Emergency Management Agency EOC, Atchison County EOC, Nemaha County EOC and the Richardson County EOG. Once the EOCs are operational, notifications may be made using the extension lines at the EOCs with the concurrence between the respective EOG and the law enforcement and emergency services dispatch agencies. The CNS telephone system is split into two functional networks; one for normal business operations and one for emergency communications (CNS Emergency EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 72 OF 192

Preparedness (EP) telephones). Function of the CNS EP telephones is described below. Should the PBX lose AC power, the PBX and on-site Emergency EP analog telephones will automatically switch to back-up battery power. These batteries will power the PBX for approximately 6 hours. The Control Room digital telephones automatically switch to back-up battery power, and can also be powered from a site Emergency Diesel Generator. TSC and OSC digital telephones do not have battery back-up power, but can be powered from a site Emergency Diesel Generator. EOF and JIC telephone function is very similar to the telephones on-site at CNS. These telephones are connected to the CNS PBX via NPPD owned fiber cable backed up by leased circuits. Should there be a loss of AC power, a back-up source is available to power the telephone system. If the PBX connectivity were to be interrupted, network routers would go into a survivable mode, in which select telephones would have direct access to the local telephone service provider's Central Office (CO) lines. If the PBX System should fail, the system is designed to connect several extensions, designated as bypass telephones, directly to the local telephone service provider's CO lines. 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 SATELLITE TELEPHONES Should all installed means of off-site communications fail, CNS has remote satellite telephone extensions located in the Control Room, TSC, EOF, and JIC. Handheld satellite phones are also available for Fire Brigade and Field Monitoring Teams. 7 .3.4 RADIO COMMUNICATIONS For use both on-site and off-site are provided by: 7.3.4.1 TWO-WAY FM RADIO SYSTEM (BASE 1 AND BASE 2)

  • A system used primarily by in-plant Operations/Emergency Response personnel.
  • It is possible to operate this system either base-to-portable or portable-to-portable. The range of the Base 1 System at maximum would be approximately 20 miles.

7.3.4.2 TWO-WAY FM RADIO SYSTEM (LOW BAND)

  • This Low Band System is primarily used by off-site field monitoring personnel.
  • This Radio System can be used for communications between CNS and CNS EP vehicles.

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 73 OF 192

  • At CNS ERFs three remote control heads are accessible, one each in the Control Room, OSC, and the EOF. Low band radio consoles are n

  • The CNS Two-Way Radio System can be used for communicating between the Control Room, Security Alarm Stations, OSC, and the EOF to the Nemaha County Sheriff's Department located in Auburn, Nebraska, on the Sheriff's Department frequency or State-wide radio frequencies.

7.3.4.4 CNS SECURITY DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATIONS

  • The CNS Security Department uses its own Two-Way Radio Systems operating in the 460 and 800 Mhz.

7.4 NOTIFICATION BY EMERGENCY CLASS Notification schemes detailed by specific emergency classification including notification of the general public are contained in EPIP 5.7.2, 5.7.6, 5.7.27, and 5.7.23. The four classes of emergency defined in Section 4 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 0 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 NRG, will also be performed. In an ALERT classification, the TSC, EOF, and OSC will be activated. Notification of state, local, and NRG 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 74 OF 192

7.5 ENVIRONMENT AL 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. 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 METEOROLOG ICAL MONITORING One meteorological monitoring site is located at a grade elevation of 889 feet above mean sea level. A 100-meter tower located approximately 2,655 feet from the northwest comer of the Reactor Building is used to gather the meteorological data. The 100-meter tower has two independent Meteorological 0 Monitoring Systems (A and B) and gathers data at three levels, 100 meters, 60 meters, and 10 meters. The redundant signal cables from the tower 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. Digital data is available through PMIS. 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 sonic anemometers and heaters.

The range for wind direction is 0-360° +/- 3°. The range for wind speed is 0-112 mph +/- 0.336 mph accuracy up to 11 mph with accuracy increase to

                   +/- 2% above 11 mph.
  • The A and B Systems on the tower calculate 15-minute averages of Sigma Theta. Sigma Theta is calculated and updated every minute for the 15-minute time constant. The sigma theta values are then accessed by the Data Acquisition System.

u EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 75 OF 192

  • Air temperatures are monitored at all six locations on the tower. Each temperature system on the tower is comprised of a platinum RTD temperature probe and motorized aspirated radiation shield to monitor the temperature at the various levels. The estimation of atmospheric stability for the A and B Systems is then calculated based on the vertical temperature difference between the 100-meter, 60-meter, and 10-meter tower elevations. The range and accuracy are -58 to +122°F +/- 0.18°F not to exceed 0.18°F between tower vertical calibration points.
  • Dewpoint is calculated using output from an aspirated humidity sensor and ambient temperature measurement at the ten-meter level on the tower.
  • Precipitation is measured using an electrically heated rain and snow gauge located near the base of the tower. This gauge uses the tipping bucket method to measure all forms of precipitation. The instrument has an accuracy of+/- 1% from 1 to 3 inches/hour and 3% overall from O to 6 inches/hour.

Backup meteorological data may be obtained from the National Weather Service Office located in Valley, Nebraska, which 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 76 OF 192

7.5.4 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORS n 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 radiological controls, a special inventory of emergency equipment is maintained both on-site and off-site 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, 0 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 77 OF 192

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 recorder is located in the Control Room and is provided to continuously monitor four 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 EJECTOR 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 monitored at the Elevated Release Point by monitors described in Section 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 78 OF 192

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 onto fixed particulate filters or iodine filters and monitors them for radioactivity level. Two of these monitors are normally stationed on the refueling floor, one monitoring for particulate radioactivity and the other monitoring for Iodine activity. These Constant Air Monitors are mobile and may be stationed at strategic locations within the station. Each has a local activity readout and visual alarm functions. 7.5.5.5 PORTABLE AIR SAMPLING EQUIPMENT In addition to the constant air monitors described above, portable air 0 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 off-site surveys. In addition, nearby nuclear plants, as well as the Department of Energy (DOE) via the NRG, may be requested to provide air-sampling backup. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 79 OF 192

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, pre-operational testing phases, and operation of the station. This program basically consists of the aspects described below: 0

  • Radiation monitoring within a ten-mile radius, which is accomplished by the use of Dosimeters of Legal Record (DLRs). 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 e'nvironmental radiological assessments include:
  • Missouri River water samples.
  • Ground water samples.
  • Vegetation samples.
  • Milk samples.
  • Fish samples from Missouri River.
  • Sediment from Missouri River shoreline.

u EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 80 OF 192

The environmental program analyzes a wide variety of samples from the environment for radiological concerns. In case of an emergency affecting off-site 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 NRG are also available to aid in environmental assessments. 7.5.7 RADIOANAL YSIS LABORATORIES The radiochemistry laboratory and Radiological Protection Counting Room, located in separate buildings from the reactor, are used to analyze on-srte and off-site 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. 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 PROTECTIO N 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 0 with NRC regulations, which is *periodically inspected by the NRG to verify fire protection capabilities. CNS has its own fire pumps with backup capabilities and distribution systems, including numerous hose and hydrant stations, automatic sprinkler system, and fire barriers. Materials used meet fire code requirements. An on-site 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 EMERGENC Y 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 903' 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 Field Monitoring Team vehicles. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 81 OF 192

Respiratory protection equipment, protective clothing, survey equipment, sampling equipment, and other equipment for re-entry, rescue, or emergency n 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 distributed 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 0 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). Portable radiation monitoring instrumentation, communications equipment, respiratory equipment, and protective clothing are available in or near the Control Room, TSC, OSC, and AOSC. Portable radiation monitoring instrumentation, communications equipment, and protective clothing are available in or near the EOF. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 82 OF 192

7.9 MEDICAL FACILITIES AND FIRST AID n 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.

  • Nemaha County Hospital, 2022 13th Street, Auburn, Nebraska.

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:

  • NPPD Emergency Plan for CNS.
  • NPPD Emergency Preparedness Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) for CNS.
  • ERO Positional Instructional Manual Checklists (PIMs) for CNS.

8.1.1 TRAINING FOR CNS EMERGENCY 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 0 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 Procedure. Initial training will consist of formal sessions utilizing materials indicated by the ERO Training Program Procedure. This training will be followed by an evaluation of the student's 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 Procedure. 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 90 OF 192

Training will be developed and utilized for areas, as required, per 10CFR50 Appendix E.IV.F, Training:

  • 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 Procedure. 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 0 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 CNS Training 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 tr:aining annually for employees of the Nemaha County Hospital, Members of the Volunteer Fire Departments of Brownville, Nemaha, Peru, and Auburn, Local Ambulance Services, Local Emergency Management Personnel, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 91 OF 192

This training includes notification procedures, basic radiation protection theory, and the identity, by position and title, of the individual in the on-site 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:

  • Missouri Tourist Information Center.

0

  • Rock Port Rivers Edge 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 e$tablishment of other means of notification of the transient population. Informational bulletin boards and/or signs have been established at Brownville recreation area, Brick Yard Hill Wildlife Area, Steamboat Trace Trail 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 Corporate Communications Department. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 92 OF 192

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 Two drills or exercises, one of which shall be unannounced, will commence off-hours between 6:00 pm and 4:00 am during each eight-year cycle. These drills or exercises will be conducted during different seasons of the year. Scenarios used shall provide reasonable assurance that anticipatory responses will not result from preconditioning of participants. Scenarios must include a wide spectrum of radiological releases and events, including hostile action. Exercise and drill scenarios as appropriate must emphasize coordination among onsite and offsite response organizations. 8.2.2 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 off-site radiological releases to the extent requiring response by off-site authorities. In accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory 0 Commission (NRG) 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. Objectives for joint exercises are developed by NPPD with the states of Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa as appropriate. Scenarios shall vary from exercise to exercise and are developed to ensure that essential portions of plans and organizations are tested within an eight-year cycle 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.
  • Time schedule of initiating events.
  • Narrative summary describing exercise particulars which may include such things as simulated casualties, off-site medical assistance, rescue of EMERGENCY PL.AN REVISION 76 PAGE 93 OF 192

personnel, deployment of Radiological Monitoring Teams, and public information activities. n

  • 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 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. 0 Improvement Items Demonstrated or observed problem areas that are not consider~d to adversely affect the health and safety of the public, but correction would enhance the level of preparedness. Evaluators should help identify the root cause and, if possible, provide a solution for deficiencies. Evaluators should also help provide insights and/or solutions for weaknesses. 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 of joint 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 we(:lk 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 Emergency Preparedness Program and may serve as observers during exercises. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 94 OF 192

8.2.3 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 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 off-site participating 0 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: 8.2.3.1 FIRE DRILLS Fire drills are conducted in accordance with plant Technical Specifications. 8.2.3.2 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. 8.2.3.3 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING DRILLS These drills are conducted annually for on-site and off-site personnel assigned to radiation survey and Field 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 95 OF 192

8.2.3.4 RADIOLOGICAL PROTECTION DRILLS n 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 in-plant liquid samples including the use of the Post-Accident Sampling System will be conducted on an annual basis. 8.2.3.5 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 0 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.

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 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 untform updating and plan improvement. All revisions to the Emergency Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Station Operations Review Committee prior to implementation. A review of EALs shall be conducted by NPPD with State and Local Emergency Management Personnel on an annual basis. Independent audits of the various aspects of the Emergency Preparedness Program are conducted at least biennially by NPPD Quality Assurance Personnel per 10CFR50.54t and the results of such audits are reported to the Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB). 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 0 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. EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 98 OF 192

9. RECOVERY n 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.

Q

  • 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.
  • VP-Nuclear/CNO or his designee.
  • Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Director.
  • Technical Support Center (TSC) Director.
  • JIC Director (JIC).
  • Radiological Control Manager (EOF).

\ __) EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 99 OF 192

Personnel acting on this panel can either be physically present or connected by telephone conference from their various Emergenc y Response Facilities. The purpose of the Recovery Panel is to evaluate emergenc y termination considerations, determine plant status parameters, and the planning and implementation of recovery operations. A time frame can then be established for securing emergenc y response and de-escalation of the emergency classification for recovery, if not already completed. Based upon this information, the VP-Nuclear/CNO or his designee may initiate the Recovery Organization. 9.2 RECOVER Y ORGANIZATION Once the decision has been made to activate the Recovery Organization, NPPD Emergenc y Response Facilities and their personnel shall be informed (via briefings, Public Address systems, telephones, etc.). The JIC 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 Emergenc y 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 0 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 RECOVER Y EXPOSUR E 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 developm ent 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 pre-planned 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. IEMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 100 OF 192 I

9.4 NUCLEAR SAFETY COMMITTEES Normal safety review organizations, Station Operations and Review Committee (SORG), and Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB) will continue to function throughout all recovery activities. 9.4.1 STATION OPERATIONS REVIEW COMMITTEE (SORG) An on-site 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. Commitfee membership, responsibilities, and authorities are detailed in Station Procedures. 9.4.2 SAFETY REVIEW AND AUDIT BOARD (SRAB) An off-site 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 SRAB Charter. IEMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 101 OF 192 I

APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN ,.,-...) 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 of the Emergency Plan. An EAL is a pre-determined, site specific, observable threshold for a plant Initiating Condition (IC) that places the plant in a given Emergency Classification Level (EGL). An EAL can be: an instrument reading; an equipment status indicator; a measurable parameter (on-site or off-site); a discrete, observable event; results of analyses; entry into specific Emergency Operating Procedures; or another phenomenon which, if it occurs, indicates entry into a particular emergency classification level. EALs are utilized to classify emergency conditions. To the extent possible, the EALs are symptom-based. That is, the action level threshold is defined by values of key plant operating parameters that identify emergency or potential emergency conditions. This approach is appropriate because rt allows the full scope of variations in the types of events to be classified as emergencies. However, a purely symptom-based approach is not sufficient to address all events for which emergency classification is appropriate. Particular events to which no pre-determined symptoms can be ascribed have also been utilized as EALs since they may be indicative of potentially more serious conditions not yet fully realized. The CNS EAL methodology divides the EALs into 3 broad groups:

  • EALs applicable under all plant operating modes - This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.
  • EALs applicable only under Modes 1, 2, or 3 - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Startup, or Power Operation mode.
  • EALs applicable only under Modes 4, 5, or Defueled - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling, or Defueled mode.

The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of EALs that cannot be applicable in the current operating mode of the plant. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the Emergency Director for a given plant condition and thereby speeds identification of the appropriate applicable EAL. IEMERGENC Y PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 1 04 OF 192 I

APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN ,,-..,_) Within each of the above three groups, assignment of EALs to categories/subcategories - Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user. Subcategories are used as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds. 5.7.1.1 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION PROCESS This procedure provides instruction for the evaluation, classification and declaration of an emergency at Cooper Nuclear Station. 5.7.2 EMERGENCY DIRECTOR 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. 5.7.3 INCIDENT COMMAND POST (ICP) HOSTILE ACTION BASED EVENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES This procedure provides guidance on actions to be taken after a Hostile Action Based (HAB) Event has occurred or is occurring, including Incident Command Post (ICP) and Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) interface, communications with off-site agencies, and bringing off-site agencies into the Protected Area. 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 NRG 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.

They provide further information on the functions of the CNS ERFs (see Section 7.2 of the Emergency Plan). 5.7.10 PERSONN EL ASSEMBL Y AND ACCOUN TABILITY This procedure describes the immediate and on-going emergenc y personnel assembly and accountability actions to be taken by all on-site 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 on-site individuals continuously thereafter. Since each site employee, Security Officer, visitor, and contractor is assigned a designate d assembly area and each area is assigned a Designated Assembly Area Supervisor (OMS) personnel accountability, in accordance with the discussions in Section 6.5 of the Emergency Plan, is assured. 5.7.11 EARLY DISMISSA UEVACUA TION OF SITE PERSONN EL As discussed in Section 6.5 of the Emergenc y Plan, in the event of an emergenc y situation it may be desirable to minimize the number of non-ERO personnel on-site. 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 personne'I 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 EMERGE NCY RADIATION EXPOSUR E CONTROL As indicated in Section 6.6 of the Emergenc y Plan, under certain emergenc y 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 Emergenc y 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 IEMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 106 OF 192 I

APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN 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. 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 IODINE THYROID BLOCKING (Kl) The purpose of this procedure is to define under what emergency conditions 0 Potassium Iodide (Kl) should be administered to station personnel and who has the authority to determine when and at what dosages Kl should be administered. The procedure also provides a discussion of the effectiveness of Kl, the recommended dosage, as well as any precautions and potential side effects. As indicated in Section 7.7 of the Emergency Plan, Kl tablets ar~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 IEMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 107 OF 192 I

APPENDIX A PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN

~ 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 or EPIP 5. 7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual). 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 off-site dose rates and integrated dose based on meteorological data, release rates, and dispersion. 5.7.17.1 DOSE ASSESSMENT (MANUAL) This procedure provides a means for personnel to perform a plume centerline or non-centerline dose assessment including dose projections from multiple source releases using hand calculation methods when the CNS-DOSE 0 computer program is not available. 5.7.18 OFF-SITE AND SITE BOUNDARY MONITORING In the event of an accidental radiological release, data obtained from off-site survey will be used to assess the magnitude of the release and to determine which off-site areas have been affected by the release. As indicated in Section 4.2 of the Emergency Plan, CNS will deploy Field Monitoring T earns for initial off-site 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 off-site 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. Off-site survey data' will be used in conjunction with on-site release rate determination and dose assessment capabilities to accurately determine off-site consequences of an accident condition. This procedure describes the emergency off-site 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 ON-SITE RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING IEMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 108 OF 192 I

APPENDfXA PROCEDURES IMPLEMENTING THE EMERGENCY PLAN In the event of an accidental release involving radionuclides, data obtained from the on-site 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, anti-contamination 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 on-site radiological monitoring necessary to determine dose rates, airborne particulate, noble gas, and radioiodine activity levels due to an accidental release of radionuclides. The on-site 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 or EPIP 5.7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual). These dose estimates are referred to as projected dose. A protective action is an action taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose when 0 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). 5.7.21 MAINTAINING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - EMERGENCY EXERCISES, DRILLS, 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 JIG This procedure describes the sequence of events and the staffing requirements for the activation of the Joint Information Center (JIG). It IEMERGENCY PLAN REVISION 76 PAGE 109 OF 192 I

1. PURPOSE 1.1 This attachment along with Attachments 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 provide an explanation and rationale for each Emergency Action Level (EAL)

Included In the EAL Scheme for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS). It should be used in conjunction with EPIP 5. 7.1.1 to facilitate review of the CNS EALs, provide historical documentation for future reference, and serve as a resource for training. Decision-makers responsible for Implementation of the EAL Scheme may use these attachments as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation. 1.2 The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the emergency classification. 1.3 This procedure, its attachments, and the EAL Classification Matrix are controlled pursuant to 10CFR50.54(q).

2. DISCUSSION

2.1 BACKGROUND

2.1.1 An EAL is a pre-determined, site specific, observable threshold for a plant Initiating Condition (IC) that places the plant in a given Emergency Classification Level (ECL). An EAL can be: an instrument reading; an equipment status indicator; a measurable parameter (on-site or off-site); a discrete, observable event; results of analyses; entry into specific emergency operating procedures; or another phenomenon which, if it occurs, indicates entry into a particular emergency classification level. EALs are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the CNS Emergency Plan. 2.1.2 In 1992, the NRC endorsed NUMARC/NESP-007, Methodology for pevelopment of Emergency Action Levels, as an alternative to NUREG-0654 EAL guidance. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 4 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE] 2.1.3 NEI 99-01 (NUMARC/NESP-007), Revision 5, was the most recently accepted methodology for development of Emergency Action Levels approved by the NRC when CNS upgraded this classification scheme. 2.1.4 Using NEI 99-01, Revision 5, CNS conducted an EAL implementation upgrade project that produced the EALs discussed in this procedure. CNS has matched plant features and safety system designs that are unique to CNS to the generic NEI 99-01, Revision 5, guidance. Should CNS implement any design differences not addressed in NEI 99-01, Revision 5, CNS will have to consider the applicable failure mechanisms involved when assessing the impact on the site specific EALs. 2.2 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS 2.2.1 Many of the EALs derived from the NEI methodology are fission product barrier based. That is, the conditions that define the EALs are based upon loss or potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials; "potential loss" infers an increased probability of barrier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier. 2.2.2 The primary fission product barriers are: 2.2.2.1 Fuel Clad (FC): The Fuel Clad barrier consists of the zircaloy fuel bundle tubes that contain the fuel pellets. 2.2.2.2 Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS barrier is the Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary and includes the reactor vessel and all Reactor Coolant System piping up to the isolation valves. 2.2.2.3 Containment (PC): The Primary Containment barrier includes the drywell, the wetwell (torus), their respective interconnecting paths, and other connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves.

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE] 2.3 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION BASED ON FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER DEGRADATION 2.3.1 The following criteria are the bases for event classification related to fission product barrier loss or potential loss: 2.3.1.1 Unusual Event: Any loss or any potential loss of Primary Containment. 2.3.1.2 Alert: Any loss or any potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS. 2.3.1.3 Site Area Emergency: Loss or potential loss of any two barriers. 2.3.1.4 General Emergency: Loss of any two barriers and loss or potential loss of third barrier. 2.4 EAL RELATIONSHIP TO EOPS 2.4.1 Where possible, the EALs have been made consistent with and utilize the conditions defined In the CNS Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). While the symptoms that drive Operator actions specified in the EOPs are not indicative of all possible conditions which warrant emergency classification, they define the symptoms, independent of initiating events, for which reactor plant safety and/or fission product barrier integrity are threatened. When these symptoms are clearly representative of one of the NE! Initiating Conditions, they have been utilized as an EAL. This permits rapid classification of emergency situations based on plant conditions without the need for additional evaluation or event diagnosis. Although some of the EALs presented here are based on conditions defined in the EOPs, classification of emergencies using these EALs is not dependent upon EOP entry or execution. The EALs can be utilized independently or in conjunction with the EOPs. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 6 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE] 2.5 SYMPTOM-BASED VS. EVENT-BASED APPROACH 2.5.1 To the extent possible, the EALs are symptom-based. That is, the action level threshold is defined by values of key plant operating parameters that identify emergency or potential emergency conditions. This approach is appropriate because it allows the full scope of variations in the types of events to be classified as emergencies. However, a purely symptom-based approach is not sufficient to address all events for which emergency classification is appropriate. Particular events to which no pre-determined symptoms can be ascribed have also been utilized as EALs since they may be indicative of potentially more serious conditions not yet fully realized. 2.6 EAL ORGANIZATION 2.6.1 The CNS EAL scheme includes the following features: 2.6.1.1 Division of the EAL set into three broad groups.

a. GROUPS
1. EALs applicable under all plant operating modes - this group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.
2. EALs applicable only under MODE 1, 2, or 3 - this group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is rn Hot Shutdown, Startup, or Power Operation mode.
3. EALs applicable only under MODE 4, 5, or Defueled - this group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling, or Defueled Mode.

PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 7 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE]

b. The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of EALs that cannot be applicable in the current operating mode of the plant. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user for a given plant condition, reduces EAL-user reading burden, and thereby, speeds identification of the EAL that applies to the emergency.

2.6.1.2 Within each of the above three groups, assignment of EALs to categories/subcategories.

a. Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user. Subcategories are used, as necessary, to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds. The CNS EAL categories/subcategories are contained in Attachment 5.

2.6.1.3 The primary tool for determining the emergency classification level is the EAL classification matrix. The user of the EAL classification matrix may (but is not required to) consult the EAL Technical Bases in order to obtain additional information concerning the EALs under classification consideration. The user should consult Sections 2.7 and 2.7.1.11 of this attachment, and Attachments 2 and 3 for such information.

2. 7 TECHNICAL BASES INFORMATION
2. 7.1 EAL Technical Bases are provided in Attachment 2 for each EAL according to EAL group, EAL category (A, C, H, S, E, and F), and EAL subcategory. A summary explanation of each category and subcategory is given at the beginning of the technical bases discussions of the EALs included in the category. For each EAL, the following information is provided:

2. 7 .1.4 SITE-SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERIC IC GIVEN IN NEI 99-01.

2.7.1.5 EAL IDENTIFIER (ENCLOSED IN RECTANGLE)

a. Each EAL is assigned a unique identifier to support accurate communication of the emergency classification to on-site and off-site personnel. Four characters define each EAL identifier:
1. First character (letter): Corresponds to the EAL category as described in Attachment 5 (A, C, H, S, E, or F).
2. Second character (letter): The emergency classification (G, S, A, or U).
3. Third character (number): Subcategory number within the given category.

a) Subcategories are sequentially numbered beginning with the number one (1). If a category does not have a subcategory, this character is assigned the number one (1).

4. Fourth character (number): The numerical sequence of the EAL within the EAL subcategory.

a) If subcategory has only one EAL, it is given the number one (1).

2. 7.1.6 CLASSIFICATION (ENCLOSED IN RECTANGLE)
a. Unusual Event (U), Alert (A), Site Area Emergency (S), or General Emergency (G).

2.8 OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY 2.8.1 MODES 2.8.1.1 POWER OPERATION

a. Reactor mode switch is in RUN.

2.8.1.2 STARTUP

a. The mode switch is in either REFUEL (with all reactor vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned) or STARTUP/HOT STANDBY.

2.8.1.3 HOT SHUTDOWN

a. The mode switch is in SHUTDOWN with all reactor vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned and reactor coolant temperature > 212°F.

PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 10 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE] 2.8.1.4 COLD SHUTDOWN

a. The mode switch is in SHUTDOWN with all reactor vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned and reactor coolant temperature~ 212°F.

2.8.1.5 REFUELING

a. The mode switch is in either REFUEL or SHUTDOWN with one or more reactor vessel head closure bolts less than fully tensioned.

2.8.1.6 DEFUELED

a. All reactor fuel removed from reactor pressure vessel (full core off load during refueling or extended outage). This mode is designated as DEF in the EAL Classification Matrix.

2.8.2 The plant operating mode that exists at the time the event occurs (prior to any protective system or Operator action is initiated in response to the condition) should be compared to the mode applicability of the EALs. If a lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the emergency classification is made, the declaration shall be based on the mode that existed at the time the event occurred. 2.8.3 For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is per EALs that have Cold Shutdown or Refueling for mode applicability, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during any subsequent heat-up. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in Hot Shutdown or higher. 2.9 VALIDATION OF INDICATIONS, REPORTS, AND CONDITIONS

2. 9.1 All classifications are to be based upon valid indications, reports, or conditions. Indications, reports, or conditions are considered valid when they are verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indications, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt, related to the indication's operability, the condition's existence, or the reports accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 11 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE] 2.10 PLANNED VS. UNPLANNED EVENTS 2.10.1 Planned evolutions involve preplanning to address the limitations imposed by the condition, the performance of required surveillance testing, and the implementation of specific controls prior to knowingly entering the condition in accordance with the specific requirements of the CNS Technical Specifications. Activities which cause operation beyond that allowed by Technical Specifications, planned or unplanned, may result in an EAL threshold being met or exceeded. Planned evolutions to test, manipulate, repair, perform maintenance, or modifications to systems and equipment that result in an EAL value being met or exceeded are not subject to classification and activation requirements as long as the evolution proceeds as planned and is within the operational limitations imposed by the operating license. However, these conditions may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10CFRS0. 72. 2.11 CLASSIFYING TRANSIENT EVENTS 2.11.1 For some events, the condition may be corrected before a declaration has been made. The key consideration in this situation is to determine whether or not further plant damage occurred while the corrective actions were being taken. In some situations, this can be readily determined; in other situations, further analyses (e.g., coolant radiochemistry sampling) may be necessary. Classify the event as indicated and terminate the emergency once assessment shows that there were no consequences from the event and other termination criteria are met. 2.11.2 Existing guidance for classifying transient events addresses the period of time of event recognition and classification (15 minutes). However, in cases when EAL declaration criteria may be met momentarily during the normal expected response of the plant, declaration requirements should not be considered to be met when the conditions are a part of the designed plant response or

               *result from appropriate Operator actions.

2.11.3 There may be cases in which a plant condition that exceeded an EAL was not recognized at the time of occurrence but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g., as a result of routine log or record review) and the condition no longer exists. In these cases, an emergency should not be declared. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 12 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 1 EAL SCHEME EXPLANATION AND RATIONALE [INFORMATION USE] 2.11.4 Reporting requirements of 10CFR50. 72 are applicable and the guidance of NUREG-1022, Event Reporting Guidelines 10CFR50. 72 and 50.73, should be applied. 2.12 MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS EVENTS AND IMMINENT EAL THRESHOLDS 2.12.1 When multiple simultaneous events occur, the emergency classification level is based on the highest EAL reached. For example, two Alerts remain in the Alert category; or, an Alert and a Site Area Emergency is a Site Area Emergency. Further guidance is provided in RIS 2007-02, Clarification of NRC Guidance for Emergency Notifications during Quickly Changing Events. 2.12.2 Although the majority of the EALs provide very specific thresholds, the Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL threshold is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded. While this is particularly prudent at the higher emergency classification levels (the early classification may permit more effective implementation of protective measures), it is nonetheless applicable to all emergency classification levels. 2.13 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION LEVEL DOWNGRADING 2.13.1 Another important aspect of usable EAL guidance is the consideration of what to do when the risk posed by an emergency is clearly decreasing. A combination approach involving recovery from General Emergencies and some Site Area Emergencies and termination from Unusual Events, Alerts, and certain Site Area Emergencies causing no long-term plant damage appears to be the best choice. Downgrading to lower emergency classification levels adds notifications but may have merit under certain circumstances. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 13 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Mode Applicability: All CNS Basis: The values listed for the Reactor Building vent, Turbine Building vent, and RW/ARW Building vent are based on a value of two times ODAM. The ERP UE value has been set to 1/5 the ODAM Instantaneous release limit to provide for a reasonable progression between the UE, Alert, and SAE classifications. If ERP UE value were placed at two times ODAM, the escalations between the UE, Alert, and SAE levels would have been significantly less than a decade apart. The ERP UE value allows approximately a 1 decade interval between the UE, Alert, and SAE classification points. Releases in excess of two times the site ODAM (Reference 3) instantaneous limits that continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and hence, a potential degradation in the level of safety. The final integrated dose (which is very low in the Unusual Event emergency class) is not the primary concern here; it is the degradation in plant control implied by the fact the release was not isolated within 60 minutes.

For this reason, the Alert gaseous thresholds have been set at the log-average of the UE threshold (two times ODAM limit for Turbine Building vent, Radwaste Building vent, and Reactor Building vent, 1/5 the ODAM limit for the ERP) and the

  • SAE threshold (CNS-DOSE dose assessment calculation) (Reference 1). This provides a reasonable escalation in classification from the UE to the Alert and SAE thresholds.

This EAL addresses an actual or substantial potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time. Nuclear power plants incorporate features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases or control and monitor intentional releases.

This EAL is intended for sites that have established effluent monitoring on non-routine release pathways for which a discharge permit would not normally be prepared. This EAL directly correlates with the IC since annual average meteorology is required to be used in showing compliance with the ODAM and is used in calculating the Table A-1 setpoints.

All (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 45 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] CNS Basis: Loss of inventory from the reactor cavity or Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) may reduce water shielding above spent fuel and cause unexpected increases in plant radiation. Classification as an Unusual Event is warranted as a precursor to a more serious event. The major item of concern on loss of inventory from the reactor cavity and SFP is to maintain adequate water level for personnel shielding and cooling of the irradiated fuel. Normal SFP water level is 37' 6 1/2" above the bottom. A low SFP level alarm can be determined by Annunciator 9-4-2/A-3, FUEL POOL COOLING TROUBLE, alarming due to Annunciator Panel 25-15, Fuel Pool Low Level at 4" below normal. Decreases in SFP water level can also be detected through visual observation. The Skimmer Surge Tank low level alarm (Annunciator 9-4-2/C-3 at 100 ft 3 in the skimmer surge tank, elevation 981' 3") alone may not be conclusive evidence of an uncontrolled loss of inventory from the SFP. SFP weir wall design should prevent inadvertent draining of the SFP through Fuel Pool Cooling and Demineralizer System connections. A Skimmer Surge Tank low level alarm needs to be confirmed by visual observation to determine the extent of inventory loss from the SFP (Reference 1, 3, 4). During refueling when the RPV head is removed, Shutdown Range RPV water level instrument NBI-LI-86 is recalibrated to read vessel cavity level up to the 1001' elevation (Refuel Floor). With reactor cavity in communication with the Spent Fuel Pool via the fuel transfer canal, uncontrolled inventory loss can be remotely monitored via this indicator. NBI-LI-86 can be used only if it has been set up to read to 1001' elevation as specified in Procedure 4.6.1, Reactor Vessel Water Level Indication (Reference 5). Allowing level to decrease could result in spent fuel being uncovered, reducing spent fuel decay heat removal and creating an extremely hazardous radiation environment. Technical Specification Section LCO 3. 7.6 (Reference 7) requires spent fuel storage pool water level be maintained at least 21' 6" over the top of Irradiated fuel assemblies seated in the spent fuel storage pool racks. Technical Specification LCO 3.9.6 (Reference 8) requires RPV water level to be maintained at least 21' above the top of the RPV flange. During refueling, this maintains sufficient water level in the refueling cavity and SFP to retain iodine fission product activity in the water in the event of a fuel handling accident. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 46 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Area radiation monitors that may indicate a loss of shielding of spent fuel in the SFP or refueling cavity include (Reference 2, 6):

  • RMA-RA-1 (1448) RX BLDG FUEL POOL (HR) AREA.
  • RMA-RA-2 (1449) RX BLDG FUEL POOL (LR) AREA.

Portable radiation monitors are routinely employed to conduct radiation surveys in the Reactor Building. This source of information should not be excluded when considering emergency classification under this EAL, particularly when RMA-RA-1 and RMS-RA-2 may be taken out of service for preventative or corrective maintenance.

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses increased radiation levels as a result of water level decreases above irradiated fuel. These radiation increases represent a loss of control over radioactive material and represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. The refueling pathway is the combination of refueling cavity and spent fuel pool. While a radiation monitor could detect an increase in dose rate due to a drop in the water level, it might not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is covered. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 4 7 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] For example, a refueling bridge ARM reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as head lift or even a fuel assembly being raised in the manipulator mast. Also, a monitor could in fact be properly responding to a known event involving transfer or relocation of a source, stored in or near the fuel pool or responding to a planned evolution such as removal of the reactor head. Generally, increased radiation monitor indications will need to be combined with another indicator (or personnel report) of water loss. For refueling events where the water level drops below the RPV flange classification would be via CU2.1. This event escalates to an Alert via AA2.1 if irradiated fuel outside the reactor vessel is uncovered. For events involving irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel, escalation would be per the Fission Product Barrier Table for events in operating Modes 1-3. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 48 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Category: A - Abnormal Rad Release/Rad Effluent Subcategory: 2 - On-Site Rad Conditions And Spent Fuel Pool Events Initiating Condition: Unplanned rise in plant radiation levels EAL: AU2.2 Unusual Event Unplanned Valid Area radiation monitor reading or survey results rise by a factor of 1,000 over normal levels*

  • Normal levels can be considered as the highest reading in the past 24 hours excluding the current peak value Mode Applicability:

All CNS Basis: It is recognized that some plant area radiation monitors may not be able to detect or display a reading that is one-thousand times NORMAL LEVELS. The intent of this IC is to rely on currently installed plant monitors and not to require design changes/back fits. In cases where an installed area radiation monitor cannot detect or display values at or above 1,000 X NORMAL LEVELS value, then survey instrument results may be used. The ARMs monitor the gamma radiation levels in units of mR/hr at selected areas throughout the station. If radiation levels exceed a preset limit in any channel, the Control Room annunciator and local alarms will be energized to warn of abnormal or significantly changing radiological conditions. The alarm limit is normally set at approximately ten times normal background for each channel (Reference 1, 2). Routine and work specific surveys are conducted throughout the station at frequencies specified by RP Management. Routine surveys are scheduled per the RP Department surveillance schedule. Work specific surveys are conducted per the Radiation Work Permit (RWP) (Reference 3). (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 49 OF 342

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses increased radiation levels as a result of water level decreases above irradiated fuel or events that have resulted, or may result, in UNPLANNED increases in radiation dose rates within plant buildings. These radiation increases represent a loss of control over radioactive material and represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. This EAL addresses increases in plant radiation levels that represent a loss of control of radioactive material resulting in a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. This EAL excludes radiation level increases that result from planned activities such as use of radiographic sources and movement of radioactive materials. A specific list of ARMs is not required as it would restrict the applicability of the Threshold. The intent is to identify loss of control of radioactive material in any monitored area.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Category: A - Abnormal Rad Release/Rad Effluent Subcategory: 2 - On-Site Rad Conditions And Spent Fuel Pool Events Initiating Condition: Damage to irradiated fuel or loss of water level that has or will result in the uncovering of irradiated fuel outside the RPV EAL: AA2.1 Alert Damage to irradiated fuel OR loss of water level (uncovering irradiated fuel outside the RPV) that causes EITHER of the following: Valid RMA-RA-1 Fuel Pool Area Rad reading > 5.0E+04 mR/hr OR Valid RMP-RM-452 A-D Rx Bldg Vent Exhaust Plenum Hi-Hi alarm Mode Applicability: All CNS Basis: When considering classification, information may come from:

  • Radiation monitor readings.
  • Sampling and surveys.
  • Dose projections/calculations.
  • Reports from the scene regarding the extent of damage (e.g., Refueling Crew, Radiation Protection Technicians).

This EAL is defined by the specific areas where irradiated fuel is located, such as the refueling cavity or Spent Fuel Pool (SFP). The bases for the ventilation radiation Hi-Hi alarm is a spent fuel handling accident (Reference 2). Fuel Pool area radiation > 5.0E+04 mR/hr represents 100 times the high alarm setpoint (HR) and is unambiguously indicative of spent fuel damage or uncovery (Reference 1).

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses increases in radiation dose rates within plant buildings and may be a precursor to a radioactivity release to the environment. These events represent a loss of control over radioactive material and represent an actual or substantial potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. This EAL addresses radiation monitor indications of fuel uncovery and/or fuel damage. Increased ventilation monitor readings may be indication of a radioactivity release from the fuel, confirming that damage has occurred. Increased background at the ventilation monitor due to water level decrease may mask increased ventilation exhaust airborne activity and needs to be considered. While a radiation monitor could detect an increase in dose rate due to a drop in the water level, it might not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is covered. Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on EALs in Subcategory Al. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 52 OF 342

  • Radiation monitor readings.
  • Sampling and surveys.

  • Reports from the scene regarding the extent of damage (e.g., Refueling Crew, Radiation Protection Technicians).

The major item of concern on loss of inventory from the Spent Fuel Pool and Refueling Cavity is to maintain adequate water level for personnel shielding and cooling of the irradiated fuel. Normal Spent Fuel Pool water level is 37' 6 1/2" above the bottom. A low pool level alarm occurs at 4" below the normal water level. Decreases in Spent Fuel Pool water level can also be detected only through visual observation and the existence of the Skimmer Surge Tank low level alarm (9-4-2/C-3) at 100 ft 3 in the skimmer surge tank which is at elevation 981' 3" (Reference 1, 2, 3).

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] During refueling when the RPV head is removed, Shutdown Range RPV water level Instrument NBI-LI-86 is recalibrated to read vessel cavity level up to the 1001' elevation (Refuel Floor). With the reactor cavity in communication with the Spent Fuel Pool via the fuel transfer canal, uncontrolled inventory loss can be remotely monitored per this indicator. NBI-LI-86 can be used only if it has been set up to read to 1001' elevation as specified in Procedure 4.6.1, Reactor Vessel Water Level Indication (Reference 4). Allowing level to decrease could result in spent fuel being uncovered, reducing spent fuel decay heat removal and creating an extremely hazardous radiation environment. Technical Specification Section LCO 3. 7.6 (Reference 5) requires spent fuel storage pool water level be maintained at least 21' 6" over the top of irradiated fuel assemblies seated in the spent fuel storage pool racks. Technical Specification LCO 3.9.6 (Reference 6) requires RPV water level to be maintained at least 21' above the top of the RPV flange. During refueling, this maintains sufficient water level in the refueling cavity and SFP to retain iodine fission product activity in the water in the event of a fuel handling accident.

The Central Alarm Station is included in this EAL because of its importance to permitting access to areas required to assure safe plant operations. There are no permanently installed CAS Area radiation monitors that may be used to assess this EAL threshold. Therefore, this portion of the EAL threshold must be assessed using local radiation survey (Reference 1, 2). CNS Basis Reference(s):

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses increased radiation levels that impact continued operation in areas requiring continuous occupancy to maintain safe operation or to perform a safe shutdown. The cause and/or magnitude of the increase in radiation levels is not a concern of this EAL. The Emergency Director must consider the source or cause of the increased radiation levels and determine if any other EAL may be involved. The value of 15 mRem/hr is derived from the GDC 19 value of 5 Rem in 30 days with adjustment for expected occupancy times. Although Section III.D.3 of NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements", provides the 15 mRem/hr value can be averaged over the 30 days, the value is used here without averaging, as a 30 day duration implies an event potentially more significant than an Alert. Areas requiring continuous occupancy include the Main Control Room and Central Alarm Station (CAS). PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 56 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Mode Applicability: 4 - Cold Shutdown, 5 - Refueling CNS Basis: The 4160V Critical Buses 1F (Div 1) and 1G (Div 2) are the plant essential, safety-related emergency buses. Each can be energized manually and separately by any of the following off-site sources of power: Figure C-1 illustrates the 4160V AC Distribution System (Reference 7, 8).

  • Startup Transformer - The Startup Transformer provides a source of off-site AC power to the entire Auxiliary Power Distribution System adequate for the startup operation or shutdown operation of the station. The Startup Transformer is the preferred source of off-site AC power to the station whenever the main generator is off-line. The Startup Transformer is energized from the 161 kV Switchyard. The transformer is normally left energized at all times to provide for quick automatic transfer of the 4160V auxiliaries to the Startup Transformer in the event the station Normal Transformer fails or the main generator trips off-line.
  • Emergency Transformer - The Emergency Transformer is the primary off-site AC power source to essential station loads. During normal station operation, the Emergency Transformer is energized by the 69 kV transmission line from OPPD.

As such, It supplies 4160V Switchgear 1F and/or 1G in the event the Normal Transformer and Startup Transformer are not available for service. Use of the Emergency Transformer also allows portions of the 345 kV System to be removed from service for inspection, testing, and maintenance.

  • Backfeeding power from the 345 kV line through the Main Power Transformer to the Normal Transformer. The Normal Transformer is the normal source of AC power to the station when the Main Generator is on-line above 20% (160 MWe) electrical power. The transformer Is energized during Main Generator operation through the Isolated Phase Buses that feed the Main Power Transformers. As mentioned in NOTE 8, the time required to establish the backfeed is likely longer than the 15 minute interval. If off-normal plant conditions have already established the backfeed its power to the safety-related buses may be considered an off-site power source.

On-site power sources are the emergency diesel generators (DG-1 and DG-2). (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 58 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] If critical bus AC power Is reduced to a single source for > 15 minutes, an Unusu,al Event is declared under this EAL. If a power supply should have picked up a critical bus but failed to do so, that power supply should be considered unavailable until It has been successfully tied onto the bus. If power supply can be tied to the bus within 15 minutes, then power supply Is to be considered available. The Supplemental Diesel Generator (SDG) is not considered an on-site or an off-site emergency power supply and Is not considered in classifications involving loss of power.

In Cold Shutdown, these limits are not applicable; hence, the use of RPV level as the parameter of concern in this EAL (Reference 4). CNS Basis Reference(s):

5. Technical Specification Table 3.3.1.1-1.

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The inability to maintain or restore level is indicative of loss of RCS inventory. Relief valve normal operation should be excluded from this EAL. However, a relief valve that operates and fails to close per design should be considered applicable to this EAL if relief valve cannot be isolated. Prolonged loss of RCS inventory may result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either CA2.1 or CA3. l. The difference between CU2.1 and CU2.2 deals with the RCS conditions that exist between Cold Shutdown and Refueling Modes. In Cold Shutdown, the RPV will normally be intact and RPV level is typically controlled below the elevation of the RPV flange and above the low-end of the normal control band. In the Refueling Mode the RPV is not intact and any planned evolutions to lower RPV level below the elevation of the RPV flange must be carefully controlled.

RPV water level at this elevation is normally indicated by the Shutdown Range instrument (LI-86 Shutdown, 0 - 400 inches). When calibrated for normal plant operations, the Shutdown Range instrument reads 206 inches at the RPV flange. With the RPV head removed, the instrument is calibrated to indicate reactor cavity water levels as high as the refuel floor. When calibrated for elevated indication, the Shutdown Range instrument reads 113. 75 inches at the RPV flange. Visual observation of water level in the reactor cavity and RPV is also used during refuel operations. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 71 OF 342

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is a precursor of more serious conditions and considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Refueling evolutions that decrease RPV water level below the RPV flange are carefully planned and procedurally controlled. An unplanned event that results in water level decreasing below the RPV flange or below the planned RPV water level for the given evolution (if the planned RPV water level is already below the RPV flange) warrants declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced RCS inventory that is available to keep the core covered. The allowance of 15 minutes was chosen because it is reasonable to assume that level can be restored within this time frame using one or more of the redundant means of refill that should be available. If level cannot be restored in this time frame, it may indicate a more serious condition exists. Continued loss of RCS inventory will result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either CA2.1 or CA3. l. The difference between CU2.1 and CU2.2 deals with the RPV conditions that exist between Cold Shutdown and Refuel Modes. In Cold Shutdown, the RCS will normally be intact and standard RPV inventory and level monitoring means are available. In Refuel Mode, the RCS is not intact and RPV level and inventory may be monitored by different means. This EAL involves a decrease in RPV level below the top of the RPV flange or a decrease below the RPV level band (when the RPV level band Is established below the RPV flange) that continues for 15 minutes due to an unplanned event. This EAL is not applicable to decreases in flooded reactor cavity level, which is addressed by AU2.1, until such time as the level decreases to the level of the vessel flange. , If RPV level continues to decrease and reaches the Low-Low ECCS actuation setpoint, then escalation to CA2.1 would be appropriate.

EOP/SAG Caution #1 indicates when an instrument may be used for level indication in the EOPs/SAGs. In this EAL, all water level indication ls unavailable and the RPV inventory loss should be detected by the leakage indications listed in Table C-1. Level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the drywell to ensure they are indicative of RPV leakage. Drywell equipment and floor drain sump level rise is the normal method of monitoring and calculating leakage from the RPV (Reference 1). A Reactor Building equipment or floor drain sump level rise may also be Indicative of RCS inventory losses external to the Primary Containment from systems connected to the RPV. With RHR System operating in the Shutdown Cooling Mode, an unexplained rise in torus water level could be indicative of RHR valve misalignment or leakage (Reference 2). If make-up rate to the RPV unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate, a loss of RPV inventory may be occurring even if the source of the leakage cannot be immediately identified.

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL serves as precursor to a loss of heat removal. The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RPV level decrease and potential core uncovery. This condition will result in a minimum classification of Alert. The low-low ECCS Actuation setpoint was chosen because it Is a recognized setpoint. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint would therefore be indicative of a failure of the RCS barrier. In Cold Shutdown Mode, the RCS will normally be intact and standard RPV level monitoring means are available. In the Refueling Mode, the RCS is not intact and RPV level may be monitored by different means, including the ability to monitor level visually. In the Refueling Mode, normal means of RPV level indication may not be available. Redundant means of RPV level indication will be normally installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RPV inventory event, the Operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing sump level changes listed in Table C-1. Sump level increas*es must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. The 15 minute duration for the loss of level indication was chosen because it is half of the CS2.1 Site Area Emergency EAL duration. The 15 minute duration allows CA2.1 to be an effective precursor to CS2.1. Significant fuel damage is not expected to occur until the core has been uncovered for > 1 hour. Therefore, this EAL meets the definition for an Alert. If RPV level continues to decrease, then escalation to Site Area Emergency will be via EALCS2.1. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 78 OF 342

  • Source Range Monitor (SRM) indication is provided in the Main Control Room by NMS-I-43A-D, SRM A-D LOG COUNT RATE, NM-NR-45, SRM 2 PEN RECORDER, and SPDS (Reference 4). Erratic Source Range Monitor Indication specified Is caused by increased boiling in the vicinity of the SRMs as water level lowers and exposed fuel heats up. This instability will be greatly magnified when compared with normal source range monitor behavior. Additionally, once the water level falls below the SRM level, lack of thermallzed neutron populations In the area will cause the SRMs to read abnormally low.

At some plants, containment high range area radiation monitors are specified as an alternate means of detecting loss of water shielding above the core and possible core uncovery. The CNS Primary Containment radiation monitors are designated RA-RM-40A and B. The Containment High Range Monitoring System monitors gamma radiation levels of 1 R/hr to 10 7 R/hr in the reactor drywell area. The system consists of two ion chambers in the drywell and two readout modules in Panels 9-2 and 9-10. The detectors (RA-RE-40A and B) are located 180° from each other in the drywell above elevation 901' 6". The elevation of the bottom of the RPV bottom head is 917'. The elevation of the top of active fuel in the Primary Containment is~ 947'. The detectors are~ 45' 6" below the top of active fuel. RCS piping, components, and drywell structural members are positioned between the detectors and the reactor core. Due to the relative location of these detectors with respect to the top of active fuel, the CNS containment high range radiation monitors cannot be utilized for detection of loss of RPV inventory above the core. Additionally, no other installed Radiation Monitoring System exists that can be utilized for the function. CNS Basis Reference(s):

Procedure 2.4RXLVL provides guidance for erratic or unexplained RPV water level changes. EOP/SAG Caution #1 indicates when an instrument may be used for level indication in the EOPs/SAGs. Four conditions are associated with a challenge to Primary Containment (PC) integrity:

1. Containment Closure is the action taken to secure Primary Containment or Secondary Containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. Containment Closure requirements are specified in Administrative Procedure 0.50.5, Outage Shutdown Safety (Reference 1).

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE]

2. Deflagratlon (explosive) mixtures In the Primary Containment are assumed to be elevated concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. BWR industry evaluation of hydrogen generation for development of EOPs/SAMGs indicates that any hydrogen concentration above minimum detectable is not to be expected within the short term. Post-LOCA hydrogen generation primarily caused by radlolysis ls a slowly evolving, long-term condition. Hydrogen concentrations that rapidly develop are most likely caused by metal-water reaction. A metal-water reaction Is indicative of an accident more severe than accidents considered in the plant design basis and would be indicative, therefore, of a potential threat to Primary Containment integrity. The specified values for this threshold are the minimum global deflagration concentration limits (6% hydrogen and 5% oxygen) (Reference 5).
3. Any unplanned increase in PC pressure in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling Mode indicates a potential loss of Containment Closure capability. Unplanned Primary Containment pressure increases indicates Containment Closure cannot be assured and the Primary Containment cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release.
4. 1,000 mR/hr Is the Secondary Containment Maximum Safe Operating radiation value. Exceeding this value is indicative of problems in the Secondary Containment that are spreading. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in EOP-SA, Secondary Containment Control, Table 10. As indicated by NOTE 5 in EOP-SA, Table 10, RP Surveys and ARM Teledoslmetry System may be used for these indications (Reference 6).

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL represents the inability to restore and maintain RPV level to above the top of active fuel with containment challenged. Fuel damage is probable if RPV level cannot be restored, as available decay heat will cause boiling, further reducing the RPV level. Analysis indicates that core damage may occur within an hour following continued core uncovery; therefore, conservatively, 30 minutes was chosen. The General Emergency is declared on the occurrence of the loss or imminent loss of function of all three barriers. Based on the above discussion, RCS barrier failure resulting in core uncovery for 30 minutes or more may cause fuel clad failure. With the Primary Containment and Secondary Containment breached or challenged, then the potential for unmonitored fission product release to the environment is high. This represents a direct path for radioactive inventory to be released to the environment. This is consistent with the definition of a General Emergency. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 91 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Containment Closure is the action taken to secure containment (Primary or Secondary) and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. Containment Closure should not be confused with refueling containment integrity as defined in Technical Specifications. Site shutdown contingency plans typically provide for re-establishing Containment Closure following a loss of heat removal or RPV inventory functions. If closure is re-established prior to exceeding the temperature or level thresholds of the RCS barrier and Fuel Clad barrier EALs, escalation to General Emergency would not occur. If Containment Closure is re-established prior to exceeding the 30 minute core uncovery time limit, then escalation to GE would not occur. The use of Secondary Containment radiation monitors should provide indication of increased release that may be indicative of a challenge to Secondary Containment. The radiation monitor values are based on the EOP "maximum safe values" because these values are easily recognizable and have an emergency basis. In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive mixture of dissolved gasses in Primary Containment. However, Primary Containment monitoring and/or sampling should be performed to verify this assumption and a General Emergency declared if it is determined that an explosive mixture exists.

Containment Closure requirements are specified in Administrative Procedure_ 0. 50. 5, Outage_ Shutdown_Safety.--------------------------------------------------------------- Mode Applicability:

  • 4 - Cold Shutdown, 5 - Refueling CNS Basis:

RPV level is normally monitored using the following instruments (Reference 5, 7):

  • Wide Range NBI-LI-85A, B & C (-155 to 60 inches).
  • Steam Nozzle Range NBI-LI-92 (0 to 180 inches).
  • Fuel Zone Range NBI-LI-91A, B & C (-320 to 60 inches).
  • Narrow Range RFC-LI-94A, B & C (0 to 60 inches).
  • Shutdown Range NBI-LI-86 (0 to 400 inches).

Procedure 2.4RXLVL provides guidance for erratic or unexplained RPV water level changes. EOP/SAG Caution #1 indicates when an instrument may be used for level indication in the EOPs/SAGs .. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 94 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] In this EAL, all water level indication is unavailable and the RPV inventory loss must be detected by the leakage indications listed in Table C-1 or erratic Source Range Monitor (SRM) indication:

  • Level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the drywell to ensure they are indicative of RPV leakage. Drywell equipment and floor drain sump level rise is the normal method of monitoring and calculating leakage from the RPV (Reference 2). A Reactor Building equipment or floor drain sump level rise may also be indicative of RCS inventory losses 'external to the Primary Containment from systems connected to the RPV. With RHR System operating in the Shutdown Cooling Mode, an unexplained rise in torus water level could be indicative of RHR valve misalignment or leakage (Reference 4). If make-up rate to the RPV unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate, a loss of RPV inventory may be occurring even if the source of the leakage cannot be immediately identified.

Visual observation of leakage from systems connected to the RCS in areas outside the Primary Containment that cannot be'isolated could be indicative of a loss of RPV inventory.

  • Source Range Monitor (SRM) indication is provided in the Main Control Room by NMS-I-43A-D, SRM A-D LOG COUNT RATE, NM-NR-45, SRM 2 PEN RECORDER, and SPDS (Reference 6). Erratic Source Range Monitor indication specified is caused by increased boiling in the vicinity of the SRMs as water level lowers and exposed fuel heats up. This instability will be greatly magnified when compared with normal source range monitor behavior. Additionally, once the water level falls below the SRM level, lack of thermalized neutron populations in the area will cause the SRMs to read abnormally low.

(continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 95 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] At some plants, containment high range area radiation monitors are specified as an alternate means of detecting loss of water shielding above the core and possible core uncovery. The CNS Primary Containment radiation monitors are designated RA-RM-40A and RA-RM-40B. The Containment High Range Monitoring System monitors gamma radiation levels of 1 R/hr to 10 7 R/hr In the reactor drywell area. The system consists of two ion chambers in the drywell and two readout modules in Panels 9-2 and 9-10. The detectors (RA-RE-40A and RA-RE-40B) are located 180° from each other in the drywell above elevation 901' 6". The elevation of the bottom of the RPV bottom head is 917'. The elevation of the top of active fuel in the Primary Containment is ~ 947'. The detectors are ~ 45' 6" below the top of active fuel. RCS piping, components, and drywell structural members are positioned between the detectors and the reactor core. Due to the relative location of these detectors, with respect to the top of active fuel, the CNS containment high range radiation monitors cannot be utilized for detection of loss of RPV inventory above the core. Additionally, no other installed Radiation Monitoring System exists that can be utilized for the function. Four conditions are associated with a challenge to Primary Containment (PC) integrity:

1. Containment Closure is the action taken to secure Primary Containment or Secondary Containment and Its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. Containment Closure requirements are specified in Administrative Procedure 0.50.5, Outage Shutdown Safety (Reference 1).
2. Deflagration ( explosive) mixtures in the Primary Containment are assumed to be elevated concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. BWR industry evaluation of hydrogen generation for development of EOPs/SAMGs indicates that any hydrogen concentration above minimum detectable is not to be expected within the short term. Post-LOCA hydrogen generation primarily caused by radiolysis is a slowly evolving, long-term condition. Hydrogen concentrations that rapidly develop are most likely caused by metal-water reaction. A metal-water reaction is indicative of an accident more severe than accidents considered in the plant design basis and would be indicative, therefore, of a potential threat to Primary Containment integrity. The specified values for this threshold are the minimum global deflagration concentration limits (6% hydrogen and 5% oxygen) (Reference 8).

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE]

3. Any unplanned increase in PC pressure in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling Mode indicates a potential loss of Containment Closure capability. Unplanned Primary Containment pressure increases indicates Containment Closure cannot be assured and the Primary Containment cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release.
4. 1,000 mR/hr is the Secondary Containment Maximum Safe Operating radiation value. Exceeding this value is indicative of problems in the Secondary Containment that are spreading. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in EOP-SA, Secondary Containment Control, Table 10. As indicated by NOTE 5 in EOP-SA, Table 10, RP Surveys and ARM Teledosimetry System may be used for these indications (Reference 9).

In the Cold Shutdown Mode, nqrmal RPV level and RPV Level Instrumentation Systems will normally be available. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RPV inventory event, the Operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing sump level changes. Sump level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the Primary Containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. In the Refueling Mode, normal means of RPV level indication may not be available. Redundant means of RPV level indication will be normally installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RPV inventory event, the Operators would need to determine that RPV inventory loss was occurring by observing sump level changes listed in Table C-1. For both Cold Shutdown and Refueling Modes, sump level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the Primary Containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 99 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] A number of variables, such as initial RPV level or shutdown heat removal system design, can have a significant impact on heat removal capability challenging the fuel clad barrier. Analysis in the above references indicates that significant core damage may occur within an hour following continued core uncovery; therefore, conservatively, 30 minutes was chosen. Post-TMI studies indicated the installed nuclear instrumentation will operate erratically when the core is uncovered and that this should be used as a tool for making such determinations. The General Emergency is declared on the occurrence of the loss or imminent loss of function of all three barriers. Based on the above discussion, RCS barrier failure resulting in core uncovery for 30 minutes or more may cause fuel clad failure. With the Primary Containment and Secondary Containment breached or challenged, then the potential for unmonitored fission product release to the environment is high. This represents a direct path for radioactive inventory to be released to the environment. This is consistent with the definition of a General Emergency.

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is an Unusual Event because it may be a precursor of more serious conditions and, as a result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. In Cold Shutdown, the ability to remove decay heat relies primarily on forced cooling flow. Operation of the systems that provide this forced cooling may be jeopardized due to the unlikely loss of electrical power or RPV Inventory. Since the RCS usually remains intact in the Cold Shutdown Mode, a large inventory of water is available to keep the core covered. In Cold Shutdown, the decay heat available to raise RCS temperature during a loss of inventory or heat removal event may be significantly greater than in the Refueling Mode. Entry into Cold Shutdown conditions may be attained within hours of operating at power. Entry into the Refueling Mode procedurally may not occur for many hours after the reactor has been shut down. Thus, the heatup threat and therefore the threat to damaging the fuel clad may be lower for events that occur in the Refueling Mode with irradiated fuel In the RPV (note that the heatup threat could be lower for Cold Shutdown conditions if entry into Cold Shutdown was following a refueling). In addition, the Operators should be able to monitor RCS temperature and RPV level so that escalation to the Alert level via CA2.1 or CA3.1 will occur if required. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 102 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] During refueling operations, the level in the RPV will normally be maintained above the vessel flange. Refueling evolutions that decrease water level below the vessel flange are carefully planned and procedurally controlled. Loss of forced decay heat removal at reduced inventory may result in more rapid increases in RCS temperatures depending on the time since shutdown. Normal means of core temperature indication and RPV level indication may not be available in the Refueling Mode. Redundant means of RPV level indication are therefore_ procedurally installed to assure the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted. Escalation to the Alert level via CA3.1 may therefore be required should an unplanned event result in RCS temperature exceeding the Technical Specification Cold Shutdown temperature limit for an extended period of time. The allowed time varies and is dependent on the status of the Primary Containment and Secondary Containment barriers and the integrity of the RCS barrier. The Emergency Director must remain attentive to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL threshold is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 103 OF 342

Thermocouples associated with computer Points M180, M183, and M185 do not respond as quickly nor register as high a temperature as other thermocouples due to their locations. Inservice leak testing, hydrostatic testing, and control rod scram time testing in which RCS temperature is intentionally raised above 212°F per Technical Specification LCO 3.10.1 are not applicable to this EAL (Reference 5).

NEI 99-01 Basis: The first condition of this EAL addresses events in which RCS temperature exceeds the CU3.1 EAL threshold of 212°F (Reference 6) for the durations identified in Table C-3. Table C-3, Duration #3, addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling during Refueling and Cold Shutdown Modes when neither Containment Closure nor RCS integrity are established. RCS integrity is in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the Cold Shutdown Mode of operation. No delay time is allowed for Duration #3 because the evaporated reactor coolant that may be released into the containment during this heatup condition could also be directly released to the environment. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 110 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Table C-3, Duration #2, addresses the complete loss of functions required for core cooling for > 20 minutes during Refueling and Cold Shutdown Modes when Containment Closure is established but RCS integrity is not established. RCS integrity should be assumed to be In place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the Cold Shutdown Mode of operation. The allowed 20 minute time frame was included to allow Operator action to restore the heat removal function, if possible. The allowed time frame is consistent with the guidance provided by Generic Letter 88-17, Loss of Decay Heat Removal, and is believed to be conservative given that a low pressure containment barrier to fission product release is established. The table note indicates that this duration is not applicable if actions are successful in restoring a RCS Heat Removal System to operation and RCS temperature is being reduced within the 20 minute time frame. Table C-3, Duration #1, addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling for > 60 minutes during Refueling and Cold Shutdown Modes when RCS integrity is established. As in Durations #2 and #3, RCS integrity should be considered to be in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the Cold Shutdown Mode of operation. The status of Containment Closure in this EAL is immaterial given the RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to fission product release to the environment. The 60 minute time frame should allow sufficient time to restore cooling without there being a substantial degradation in plant safety. The 10 psig pressure increase covers situations where, due to high decay heat loads, the time provided to restore temperature control should be < 60 minutes. The table note indicates that Duration #1 ls not applicable if actions are successful in restoring a RCS Heat Removal System to operation and RCS temperature is being reduced within the 60 minute time frame assuming the RCS pressure increase has remained < 10 psig. Escalation to Site Area would be via CS2.1 should boiling result in significant RPV level loss leading to core uncovery. A loss of Technical Specification components alone is not intended to constitute an Alert. The same is true of a momentary unplanned excursion above 212°F when the heat removal function is available and either the RCS is Intact or Containment Closure is established. The Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL threshold is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded.

  • Station Intercom System "Gaitronics": Permits communication between the different parts of the plant and it also incorporates a public address system for plant wide announcements.
  • Site UHF Radio Consoles: The site UHF radio system uses four repeaters; Base 1 and Base 2 are used by Operations, Base 3 and Base 4 are used by Security. These repeaters operate on different frequencies. All remote control, portable, and mobile units are capable of selecting either repeater.
  • Radio Paging System: CNS leases pagers and radio paging services from a telecommunications company. Pagers are issued to various Management and Emergency Response personnel at CNS and other NPPD locations. Pagers can be activated from any touch-tone phone, on-site or off-site.
  • Alternate Intercom: Provides an alternate in-plant communications network utilizing a secondary telephone system. This system is located in the ERP shack and has battery back-up.
  • CNS On-Site Cell Phone System.
  • Telephone System (PBX): Provides voice communication between virtually all buildings, offices, and operation facilities within the station. The telephone system also provides communications between the plant and off-site facilities via the telephone switchboard network. The system allows Operating Crews to alert plant personnel in emergencies. The telephone company provides the normal and leased line services.
  • Federal Telecommunications System (FTS 2001): The Health Physics Network (HPN) and Emergency Notification System (ENS) provides communications between NRC and CNS during an emergency.
  • Local Telephones (C.O. Lines).

  • CNS State Notification Telephones: The CNS State Notification Telephone System is the primary means for the plant to make emergency notifications to state and local authorities. This system provides direct communication with the Nebraska State Patrol, the Missouri State Patrol, the Atchison County Sheriff's Department, and the Nemaha and Richardson County Sheriff's Departments.
  • Satellite Telephones.

This EAL is the cold condition equivalent of the hot condition EAL SU8.1. CNS Basis Reference(s):

1. EPIP 5.7COMMUN, Communications, Emergency Response Facility Communication Equipment attachment.

NEI 99-01 Basis: The purpose of this EAL is to recognize a loss of communications capability that either defeats the plant Operations Staff ability to perform routine tasks necessary for plant operations or the ability to communicate problems with off-site authorities. The loss of off-site communications ability is expected to be significantly more comprehensive than the condition addressed by 10CFRS0. 72. The availability of one method of ordinary off-site communications is sufficient to inform state and local authorities of plant problems. This EAL is Intended to be used only when extraordinary means (e.g., relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being s~nt to off-site locations, etc.) are being utilized to make communications possible. The Table C-2 list for on-site communications loss encompasses the loss of all means of routine communications (e.g., commercial telephones, on-site cell phone systems, page party system, and radios/walkie talkies). The Table C-2 list for off-site communications loss encompasses the loss of all means of communications with federal off-site authorities. This should include the ENS, commercial telephone lines, telecopy transmissions, and dedicated phone systems. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 114 OF 342

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses criticality events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling Modes (NUREG 1449, Shutdown and Low-Power Operation at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants in the United States) such as fuel mis-loading events. This EAL indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant, warranting an Unusual Event classification. This EAL excludes inadvertent criticalities that occur during planned reactivity changes associated with reactor startups (e.g., criticality earlier than estimated) which are addressed in the companion EAL SU2.1.

The 125 VDC System supplies DC power to conventional station emergency equipment and selected Safeguard System loads. 125 VDC Distribution Panels supply control and instrument power for annunciators control logic power and protective relaying. Figure C-2 illustrates the 125 VDC Power System (Reference 3). If 125 VDC Distribution Panel A is lost, the following major equipment is affected: RRMG A speed and breaker control, 4160V Bus lA, lE, and lF breaker control and undervoltage logics, 480V Bus lA and lF breaker control, the right light in all Control Room annunciators, annunciator panels for Water Treatment, RHR A Gland Water, Auxiliary Steam Boiler C, DG-1 starting and breaker control logics, CS A, RCIC, and RHR A control logics, TIP valve control monitors, main generator voltage regulation, RFPT A trip logic, and ARI solenoid valve power.

Battery chargers receive their power from 460V critical motor control centers. Each 125 VDC bus receives power from either a 125 VDC battery or a 125 VDC battery charger. The battery chargers receive their power from 460V critical motor control centers. The 250 VDC System supplies DC power to conventional station emergency equipment and selected Safeguard System loads. Although 250 VDC Buses lA and lB provide vital DC emergency power, 250 VDC Safety System loads (such as motor operated valves) also require 125 VDC control power. Loss of 125 VDC buses alone, therefore, would render most Safeguard System loads inoperable (Reference 4, 5, 6).

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: The purpose of this EAL is to recognize a loss of DC power compromising the ability to monitor and control the removal of decay heat during Cold Shutdown or Refueling operations. This EAL is intended to be anticipatory in as much as the Operating Crew may not have necessary indication and control of equipment needed to respond to the loss. The plant will routinely perform maintenance on a train related basis during shutdown periods. The required buses are the minimum allowed by Technical Specifications for the mode of operation. It is intended that the loss of the operating (operable) train is to be considered. If this loss results in the inability to maintain cold shutdown, the escalation to an Alert will be via CA3. l.

  • The Seismic Monitor System free field sensor actuated or Alarm B-3/B-1, SEISMIC EVENT
  • Earthquake felt in plant
  • National Earthquake Information Center Mode Applicability:

All CNS Basis: The method of detection with respect to emergency classification relies on the agreement of the Shift Operators on-duty in the Control Room that the suspected ground motion is a "felt earthquake" as well as the actuation of the CNS seismic instrumentation. Consensµs of the Control Room Operators with respect to ground motion helps avoid unnecessary classification if the seismic switches inadvertently trip or detect vibrations not related to an earthquake. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 121 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] CNS seismic instrumentation actuates at 0.01 g. The free field seismic sensor, located in the metal enclosure north of the Intake Structure, provides a start signal to the Seismic Monitoring System when ground motion > 0.01 g is sensed. On receipt of this start signal, the Seismic Monitor System indicates or initiates:

  • An Event is in-progress.
  • An Event has been recorded.
  • Annunciator B-3/B-1, SEISMIC EVENT, alarms.
  • Recording of the seismic signals from sensors located north of the Intake Structure, in the Reactor Building NW Quad 859', and on the Reactor Building 1001' level.

The National Earthquake Information Center can confirm if an earthquake has occurred in the area of the plant. Refer to the National Earthquake Information Center website: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/ This event escalates to an Alert under EAL HAL 1 if the earthquake exceeds Operating Basis Earthquake (QBE) levels.

A tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground and extending from the base of a thunderstorm. The design wind pressure for the station and structures is 30 lb/ft2 which is equivalent of sustained winds up to 100 mph (Reference 3). The Protected Area refers to the designated security area around the process buildings. Sustained winds are of a prolonged duration and, therefore, do not include gusts. Sustained winds are not intermittent or of a transitory nature. Since the inauguration of the Automatic Surface Observation System (ASOS), the National Weather Service has adopted a 2 minute average standard for its sustained wind definition (Reference 1).

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Category: H - Hazards And Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety Subcategory: 1 - Natural or Destructive Phenomena Initiating Condition: Natural or destructive phenomena affecting the Protected Area EAL: HUl.3 Unusual Event Main turbine failure resulting in casing penetration or damage to turbine or generator seals Mode Applicability: All CNS Basis: The main turbine generator stores large amounts of rotational kinetic energy in its rotor. In the unlikely event of a major mechanical failure, this energy may be transformed into both rotational and translational energy of rotor fragments. These fragments may impact the surrounding stationary parts. If the energy-absorbing capability of these stationary turbine generator parts is insufficient, external missiles will be released. These ejected missiles may impact various plant structures, including those housing safety-related equipment. In the event of missile ejection, the probability of a strike on a plant region is a function of the energy and direction of an ejected missile and of the orientation of the turbine with respect to the plant region. In addition to potential missile generation, the failure of the rotational elements will cause imbalances in these elements that may be of sufficient magnitude to damage turbine and generator seals resulting in the release of large quantities of lube oil and/or hydrogen. CNS Basis Reference(s): None (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 127 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is categorized on the basis of the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude to be of concern to plant Operators. This EAL addresses main turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause observable damage to the turbine casing or to the seals of the turbine generator. Generator seal damage observed after generator purge does not meet the intent of this EAL because it did not impact normal operation of the plant. Of major concern is the potential for leakage of combustible fluids (lubricating oils) and gases (hydrogen cooling) to the plant environs. Actual fires and flammable gas build up are appropriately classified via HU2. l and HU3.1. This EAL is consistent with the definition of an Unusual Event while maintaining the anticipatory nature desired and recognizing the risk to non-safety-related equipment.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] CNS Basis: The internal flooding areas of concern are listed in Table H-1 (Reference 1-5). Flooding, as used in this EAL, describes a condition where water is entering the room faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room. Flooding in these areas could have the potential to cause a reactor trip and could result In consequential failures to important systems. The potential for flooding in these areas was determined by an examination of piping systems in the area and also considered propagation of water from one area to another. The accumulation of water resulting in a rising water level in the area constitutes flooding. The Critical Switchgear Rooms are a part of the Reactor Building. CNS Basis Reference(s):

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] CNS Basis: The main turbine generator stores large amounts of rotational kinetic energy in its rotor. In the unlikely event of a major mechanical failure, this energy may be transformed into both rotational and translational energy of rotor fragments. These fragments may impact the surrounding stationary parts. If the energy-absorbing capability of these stationary turbine generator parts is insufficient, external missiles will be released. These ejected missiles may impact various plant structures, including those housing safety-related equipment. In the event of missile ejection, the probability of a strike on a plant region is a function of the energy and direction of an ejected missile and of the orientation of the turbine with respect to the plant region.

All CNS Basis: Fire, as used in this EAL, means combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is not required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. The Critical Switchgear Rooms are a part of the Reactor Building.

5. USAR Section XII-2.1.2.1, Principal Class I Structures Required for Safe Shutdown.

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses the magnitude and extent of fires that may be potentially significant precursors of damage to safety systems. It addresses the fire and not the degradation in performance of affected systems that may result. As used here, detection is visual observation and report by plant personnel or sensor alarm indication. The 15 minute time period begins with a credible notification that a fire is occurring or indication of a fire detection system alarm/actuation. Verification of a fire detection system alarm/actuation includes actions that can be taken within the Control Room or other nearby site specific location to ensure it is not spurious. An alarm is assumed to be an indication of a fire unless it is disproved within the 15 minute period by personnel dispatched to the scene. In other words, a personnel report from the scene may be used to disprove a sensor alarm if received within 15 minutes of the alarm, but shall not be required to verify the alarm. The intent of this 15 minute duration is to size the fire and to discriminate against small fires that are readily extinguished (e.g., smoldering waste paper basket).

As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that potentially imparts significant energy to nearby structures and materials. A steam line break or steam explosion that damages surrounding permanent structures or equipment would be classified under this EAL. This does not mean the emergency is classified simply because the steam line break occurred. The method of damage is not as important as the degradation of plant structures or equipment. The need to classify the steam line break itself is considered in fission product barrier degradation monitoring (EAL Category F).

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] CNS Basis: Fire, as used in this EAL, means combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. An explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment that potentially imparts significant energy to nearby structures and materials. A steam line break or steam explosion that damages permanent structures or equipment would be classified under this EAL. The method of damage is not as important as the degradation of plant structures or equipment. The need to classify the steam line break itself is considered in fission product barrier degradation monitoring (EAL Category F). The Critical Switchgear Rooms are a part of the Reactor Building.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: Visible damage is used to identify the magnitude of the fire or explosion and to discriminate against minor fires and explosions. The reference to structures containing safety systems or components is included to discriminate against fires or explosions in areas having a low probability of affecting safe operation. The significance here is not that a safety system was degraded but the fact the fire or explosion was large enough to cause damage to these systems. The use of visible damage should not be interpreted as mandating a lengthy damage assessment prior to classification. The declaration of an Alert and the activation of the Technical Support Center will provide the Emergency Director with the resources needed to perform detailed damage assessments. The Emergency Director also needs to consider any security aspects of the explosion. Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, will be based on System Malfunctions, Fission Product Barrier Degradation, or Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent EALs.

Initiating Condition: Release of toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant, or flammable gases deemed detrimental to normal plant operations EAL: HU3.1 Unusual Event Toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant, or flammable gases in amounts that have or could affect normal plant operations Mode Applicability: All CNS Basis: As used in this EAL, affecting normal plant operations means that activities at the plant site associated with routine testing, maintenance, or equipment operations, in accordance with normal operating or administrative procedures have been impacted. Entry into Abnormal or Emergency Operating Procedures, or deviation from normal security or radiological controls posture is a dep 9rture from normal plant operations, and thus, would be considered to have been affected. Administrative Procedure 0.36.6, Monitoring for Industrial Gases, may be used for help in assessing this EAL. Such review, however, does not constitute a departure from normal operations. The release may have originated within the Site Boundary or it may have originated off-site and subsequently drifted onto the Site Boundary. Off-site events (e.g., tanker truck accident releasing toxic gases, etc.) resulting in the plant being within the evacuation area should also be considered in this EAL because of the adverse effect on normal plant operations. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 158 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] At CNS there are various potential sources of atmospheric contamination. Some of these sources are;

  • Inert gas used for oxygen exclusion (nitrogen).
  • Combustion products.
  • Carbon dioxide from fire extinguishing.
  • Halon from fire extinguishing.
  • Welding gases (enclosed areas).
  • Vapors from painting (enclosed areas).
  • Vapors from petroleum products.
  • Hydrogen (OWC Hydrogen Gas Generation System, Generator Cooling System, batteries, and disassociation of water in the reactor).
  • Asphyxiants and irritants, found most often in confined areas (water and oil storage tanks, open manholes).
  • Methane from bacterial action (tanks and pits).

Some of the gases which could affect normal plant operations under this EAL are:

  • Carbon Monoxide - One of the most common asphyxiants encountered in industry. It is formed by the incomplete combustion of fuel containing carbon.

It may be found in the vicinity of a fire or a leak in an exhaust system (flue gas or internal combustion engines).

  • Oxygen - Oxygen has two fundamentally important properties: it supports combustion and it supports life. Since oxygen is necessary for life, it must be present in sufficient quantity. Oxygen deficiency occurs in confined spaces where the level of oxygen has been reduced below the limit to support life.

Oxygen content in the air can become fatally low in a brief period of time. Some of the more common causes of this problem are oxidation of metals, bacterial action, combustion, and displacement by other gases. An enriched oxygen atmosphere will accelerate combustion. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 159 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE]

  • Hydrogen - Used in generator cooling. Hydrogen gas is also produced by the owe Gas Generation System, located in the owe Building, and subsequently injected Into the Condensate System just upstream of the condensate booster pumps. Hydrogen is also produced by the disassociation of water from radiation in the reactor, which is seen in the off-gas. The presence of hydrogen will be especially significant in the Off-Gas and Augmented Off-Gas Systems.

Hydrogen is also a by-product of battery charging. It is lighter than air so it will be found in pockets at the ceiling of enclosures.

  • Argon - Commonly used during the welding of certain metals. It is denser than air so it will settle in pockets below the welding area.
  • Carbon Dioxide - Used to fight fire. Being heavier than air, carbon dioxide will settle in pockets and displace oxygen.
  • Halon - Used to fight fire in the Service Water Pump Room, Computer Room, and in the Simulator. Discharge of a Halon System will result in exceeding IDLH limits in the area. Discharge of the Service Water Pump Room or Computer Room Halon System should be classified under EAL HA3.1.
  • Nitrogen - Used primarily to purge Primary Containment. Since it is approximately the same density as air, it can be dispersed by proper ventilation. Areas of poor ventilation may contain greater than expected concentrations of nitrogen and consequently may be deficient in oxygen.
  • Combustible Gases and Vapors - Includes naturally occurring gases (such as methane and hydrogen gas) and the vapors of a large group of liquids which are used as fuels and solvents. Monitoring shall be required in fuel tanks and other areas where explosive mixtures may be present.
  • Hydrogen Sulfide - Classified as an irritant in low concentrations, but is even more toxic than carbon monoxide because It inflames the mucus membranes and results in the lungs filling with fluid. This colorless gas has a characteristic rotten egg odor, which renders the sense of smell ineffective. Hydrogen sulfide may be found in sewage treatment or wherever organic matter containing sulfur decomposes and shall be monitored constantly during work.
  • Methane - The chief constituent of natural gas and is extremely explosive. It ls non-toxic, but may reduce the oxygen content of an atmosphere, causing asphyxiation. Methane is often found in the vicinity of sanitary landfills and has been detected In tanks where bacterial action is taking place (i.e., reactor water cleanup and condensate phase separator tanks). It is lighter than air and tends to accumulate in high spots or pockets. This can present a dangerous situation in storage tanks or sewers where access ls normally gained at the top of the confined area.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE]

  • Ethyl Benzene - Used primarily as an additive to diesel fuel. Acute exposure results in a local irritant effect on the skin and mucous membranes. Chronic exposure can lead to nervous system disorders and upper respiratory tract Inflammation. Monitoring is required when entering a diesel fuel tank.
  • Chlorine - Used in chemical treatment of Circulating Water and Service Water Systems. Chlorine gas can be recognized by its pungent, irritating odor, which is like the odor of bleach. Chlorine Is not flammable but can react explosively with other chemicals such as turpentine or ammonia. Chlorine gas stays close to the ground and spreads rapidly. When chlorine gas comes in contact with moist human tissues, such as the eyes throat and lungs, an acid is produced that can damage these tissues.
  • Chlorine Dioxide -'This is a yellow to reddish-yellow manufactured gas which does not occur naturally in the environment. When added to water, chlorine dioxide forms chlorite ion, which is also a very reactive chemical. High levels of chlorine dioxide can be Irritating to the nose, eyes, throat, and lungs.
  • Hydrogen Chloride - This is a colorless to slightly yellowish gas with a pungent odor. On exposure to air, the gas forms dense white vapors due to condensation with atmospheric moisture. The vapor is corrosive and air concentrations above 5 ppm can cause irritation. When mixed with water or atmospheric moisture, a highly corrosive atmosphere is formed. The most common source of Hydrogen Chloride gas is from Muriatic (Hydrochloric) Acid.

Should the release affect access to plant Safe Shutdown Areas, escalation to an Alert would be based on EAL HA3.1. Should an explosion or fire occur due to flammable gas within an affected plant area, an Alert may be appropriate based on EAL HA2.1. CNS Basis Reference(s):

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is based on the release of toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant, or flammable gases of sufficient quantity to affect normal plant operations. The fact that SCBA may be worn does not eliminate the need to declare the event. This EAL is not intended to require significant assessment or quantification. It assumes an uncontrolled process that has the potential to affect plant operations. This would preclude small or incidental releases or releases that do not impact structures needed for plant operation. An asphyxiant is a gas capable of reducing the level of oxygen in the body to dangerous levels. Most commonly, asphyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment. This reduces the concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness, or even death.

Off-site events (e.g., tanker truck accident releasing toxic gases, etc.) are considered in this EAL because they may adversely affect normal plant operations. State officials may determine the evacuation area for off-site spills by using the Department of Transportation (DOT) Evacuation Tables for Selected Hazardous Materials in the DOT Emergency Response Guide for Hazardous Materials. If evacuation area extends to any portion of the Owner Controlled Area, the EAL threshold is met. Should the release affect plant Safe Shutdown Areas, escalation to an Alert would be based on EAL HA3.1.

They are not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather, the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land, or water attack elements. The fact that the site is under serious attack or is an identified attack target with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires a heightened state of readiness and Implementation of protective measures that can be effective (such as on-site evacuation, dispersal, or sheltering). 1st Threshold This EAL threshold addresses the potential for a very rapid progression of events due to a hostile action. It is.not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small aircraft impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the Owner Controlled Area. Those events are adequately addressed by other EALs.

Validation is performed by calling the NRC or by other approved methods of authentication. Only the plant to which the specific threat is made need to declare the Alert. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an airliner. The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC. If not previously notified by the NRC that the airborne hostile action was intentional, then it would be expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency would follow. In this case, appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA, or NRC. However, the declaration should not be unduly delayed awaiting Federal notification.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Category: H - Hazards And Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety Subcategory: 4 - Security Initiating Condition: Hostile action within the Protected Area© 1 EAL: HS4.1 Site Area Emergency A hostile action is occurring or has occurred within the Protected Area as reported by the Security Shift Supervisor Mode Applicability: All CNS Basis: Timely and accurate communication between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is crucial for the implementation of effective Security EALs. Reference is made to the Security Shift Supervisor because this individual is the designated on-site person qualified and trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on security event classification confirmation is closely controlled due to the strict secrecy controls placed on the CNS Security and Safeguards Contingency Plan (Reference 1). Hostile Action: An act toward a nuclear power plant or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to _destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile Action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on CNS. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the Owner Controlled Area). CNS Basis Reference(s):

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: This condition represents an escalated threat to plant safety above that contained in the Alert in that a hostile force has progressed from the Owner -controlled Area to the Protected Area. This EAL addresses the contingency for a very rapid progression of events, such as that experienced on September 11, 2001. It is not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather, the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land, or water attack elements. The fact that the site is under serious attack with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires off-site response organizations readiness and preparation for the implementation of protective measures. This EAL addresses the potential for a very rapid progression of events due to a hostile action. It is not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small aircraft impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the Protected Area. Although nuclear plant Security Officers are well trained and prepared to protect against hostile action, it ls appropriate for off-site response organizations to be notified and encouraged to begin preparations for public protective actions (if they do not normally) to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions. If not previously notified by NRC that the airborne hostile action was intentional, then it would be expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency would follow. In this case, appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA, or NRC. However, the declaration should not be unduly delayed awaiting Federal notification. Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on actual plant status after impact or progression of attack. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 178 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: 1st Threshold This EAL threshold encompasses conditions under which a hostile action has resulted in a loss of physical control of Vital Areas (containing vital equipment or controls of vital equipment) required to maintain safety functions and control of that equipment cannot be transferred to and operated from another location. These safety functions are reactivity control (ability to shut down the reactor and keep it shut down), reactor water level (ability to cool the core), and decay heat removal (ability to maintain a heat sink). Loss of physical control of the Control Room or remote shutdown capability alone may not prevent the ability to maintain safety functions per se. Design of the remote shutdown capability and the location of the transfer switches should be taken into account. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions. If control of the plant equipment necessary to maintain safety functions can be transferred to another location, then the threshold ls not met. 2nd Threshold

  • This EAL threshold addresses failure of Spent Fuel Cooling Systems as a result of hostile action If imminent fuel damage Is likely, such as when a freshly off-loaded reactor core is in the spent fuel pool.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: The intent of this EAL is to capture those events where control of the plant cannot be re-established in a timely manner. In this case, expeditious transfer of control of safety systems has not occurred (although fission product barrier damage may not yet be indicated). The 15 minute time for transfer starts when the Control Room begins to be evacuated (not when Procedure 5. lASD, Alternate Shutdown, is entered). The time interval is based on how quickly control must be re-established without core uncovery and/or core damage. The intent of the EAL is to establish control of important plant equipment and knowledge of important plant parameters in a timely manner. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions. Typically, these safety functions are reactivity control (ability to shut down the reactor and maintain it shutdown), reactor water level (ability to cool the core), and decay heat removal (ability to maintain a heat sink). The determination of whether or not control is established from outside the Control Room is based on Emergency Director (ED) judgment. The Emergency Director is expected to make a reasonable, informed judgment that control of the plant from the Alternate Shutdown Panels cannot be established within the 15 minute interval. Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be by Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent EALs.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Shutdown CNS Basis: The 4160V critical Buses 1F (Div. I) and 1G (Div. II) are the plant essential, safety-related emergency buses. Each can be energized manually and separately by any of the following off-site sources of power: Figure S-1 illustrates the 4160V AC Distribution System (Reference 7, 8).

  • Startup Transformer - The Startup Transformer provides a source of off-s1te AC power to the entire Auxiliary Power Distribution System adequate for the startup operation or shutdown operation of the station. The Startup Transformer is the preferred source of off-site AC power to the station whenever the main generator is off-line ( < 160 MWe). The Startup Transformer is energized from the 161 kV Switchyard. The transformer is normally left energized at all times to provide for quick automatic transfer of the 4160V auxiliaries to the Startup Transformer in the event the station Normal Transformer fails or main generator trips off-line.
  • Emergency Transformer - The Emergency Transformer is the primary off-site AC power source to essential station loads. During normal station operation, the Emergency Transformer is energized by the 69 kV transmission line from OPPD. As such, it supplies 4160V Switchgear 1F and/or 1G in the event the Normal Transformer and Startup Transformer are not available for service. Use of the Emergency Transformer also allows portions of the 345 kV System to be removed from service for inspection, testing, and maintenance.
  • Backfeeding power from the 345 kV line through the Main Power Transformer to the Normal Transformer. The Normal Transformer is the normal source of AC power to the station when the Main Generator is on line above 20%

(160 MWe) electrical power. The transformer is energized during Main Generator operation through the Isolated Phase Buses that feed the Main Power Transformers. As mentioned In NOTE 8, the time required to establish the backfeed is likely longer than the 15 minute interval. If off-normal plant conditions have already established the backfeed, its power to the safety-related buses may be considered an off-site power source. On-site power sources are the emergency diesel generators (DG-1 and DG-2) and the Main Generator. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 193 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is intended to provide an escalation from IC SU1.1, "Loss of all off-site AC power to critical buses for 15 minutes or longer". The condition indicated by this EAL is the degradation of the off-site and on-site AC power systems such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to the critical buses. This condition could occur due to a loss of off-site power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency generator to supply power to its critical bus. Another related condition could be the loss of all off-site power and loss of on-site emergency generators with only one train of crltical buses being backfed from the unit main generator or the loss of on-site emergency generators with only one train of critical buses being backfed from off-site power. The subsequent loss of this single power source would escalate the event to a Site Area Emergency in accordance with 551.1. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 203 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Shutdown CNS Basis: The 4160V critical Buses lF (Div. I) and lG (Div. II) are the plant essential, safety-related emergency buses. Each can be energized manually and separately by any of the following off-site sources of power: Figure S-1 illustrates the 4160V AC Distribution System (Reference 7, 8).

  • Startup Transformer - The Startup Transformer provides a source of off-site AC power to the entire Auxiliary Power Distribution System adequate for the startup operation or shutdown operation of the station. The Startup Transformer is the preferred source of off-site AC power to the station whenever the main generator is off-line ( < 160 MWe). The Startup Transformer is energized from the 161 kV Swltchyard. The transformer is normally left energized at all times to provide for quick automatic transfer of the 4160V auxiliaries to the Startup Transformer in the event the station Normal Transformer fails or main generator trips off-line.
  • Emergency Transformer - The Emergency Transformer is the primary off-site AC power source to essential station loads. During normal station operation, the Emergency Transformer is energized by the 69 kV transmission line from OPPD. As such, it supplies 4160V Switchgear lF and/or lG in the event the Normal Transformer and Startup Transformer are not available for service. Use of the Emergency Transformer also allows portions of the 345 kV System to be removed from service for inspection, testing, and maintenance.
  • Backfeeding power from the 345 kV line through the Main Power Transformer to the Normal Transformer. The Normal Transformer is the normal source of AC power to the station when the Main Generator is on line above 20%

(160 MWe) electrical power. The transformer is energized during Main Generator operation through the Isolated Phase Buses that fee_d the Main Power Transformers. As mentioned in NOTE 8, the time required to establish the backfeed is likely longer than the 15 minute interval. If off-normal plant conditions have already established the backfeed, its power to the safety-related buses may be considered an off-site power source. On-site power sources are the emergency diesel generators (DG-1 and DG-2) and the Main Generator. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 205 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] If a power supply should have picked up a critical bus but failed to do so, that power supply should be considered unavailable until it has been successfully tied onto the bus. If power supply can be tied to the bus within 15 minutes, then the power supply is to be considered available. The Supplemental Diesel Generator (SDG) is not considered an on-site or an off-site emergency power supply and is not considered in classifications involving loss of power. The SBO Coping Time per Regulatory Guide 1.155 considers the impact of a SDG. This EAL is the hot condition equivalent of the cold condition loss of all AC power EAL CAL 1. When in Cold Shutdown, Refueling, or Defueled Mode, the event can be classified as an Alert because of the significantly reduced decay heat, lower temperature and pressure, increasing the time to restore one of the critical buses, relative to that existing when in hot conditions.

PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 211 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] If a power supply should have picked up a critical bus but failed to do so, that power supply should be considered unavailable until it has been successfully tied onto the bus. 4 hours is the CNS Station Blackout Coping Analysis time (Reference 11, 13). The Supplemental Diesel Generator (SDG) is not considered an on-site or an off-site emergency power supply and is not considered in classifications involving loss of power. The SBO Coping Time per Regulatory Guide 1.155 considers the impact of a SDG. Indication of continuing core cooling degradation is manifested by a RPV level instrument reading of< -158 inches (RPV level is below the top of active fuel). When RPV level is at or above the top of active fuel, the core is completely submerged. Core submergence is the most desirable means of core cooling. When RPV level is below the top of active fuel, the uncovered portion of the core must be cooled by less reliable means (i.e., steam cooling or spray cooling). If core uncovery is threatened, the EOPs specify alternate, more extreme, RPV level control measures in order to restore and maintain adequate core cooling. Since core uncovery begins if RPV level drops to the top of active fuel, the level is indicative of a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier. When RPV level cannot be determined, EOPs require entry to EOP-2B, RPV Flooding, or EOP-7B, RPV Flooding (Failure-to-Scram). RPV water level indication provides the primary means of knowing if adequate core cooling is being maintained. When all means of determining RPV water level are unavailable, the fuel clad barrier is threatened and reliance on alternate means of assuring adequate core cooling must be attempted. The instructions in EOP-2B/7B specify these means, which include emergency depressurization of the RPV and injection into the RPV at a rate needed to flood to the elevation of the main steam lines or hold the Minimum Steam Cooling Pressures (in scram-failure events). If RPV water level cannot be determined with respect to the top of active fuel, a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier exists.

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: Loss of all AC power to critical buses compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, containment heat removal, and the ultimate heat sink. Prolonged loss of all AC power to critical buses will lead to loss of fuel clad, RCS, and containment, thus, warranting declaration of a General Emergency. This EAL is specified to assure that in the unlikely event of a prolonged loss of all critical bus AC power, timely recognition of the seriousness of the event occurs and that declaration of a General Emergency occurs as early as ls appropriate, based on a reasonable assessment of the event trajectory. The likelihood of restoring at least one critical bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in .an upgrade decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions. In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded. Although it may be difficult to predict when power can be restored, it is necessary to give the Emergency Director a reasonable idea of how quickly (s)he may need to declare a General Emergency based on two major considerations:

1. Are there any present indications that core cooling is already degraded to the point that loss or potential loss of fission product barriers is imminent?
2. If there are no present Indications of such core cooling degradation, how likely is it that power can be restored in time to assure that a loss of two barriers with a potential loss of the third barrier can be prevented?

Thus, indication of continuing core cooling degradation must be based on Fission Product Barrier monitoring with particular emphasis on Emergency Director judgment as it relates to imminent loss or potential loss of fission product barriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers.

Following a successful reactor scram, rapid insertion of the control rods occurs. Nuclear power promptly drops to a fraction of the original power level and then decays to a level several decades less with a negative period. The reactor power drop continues until reactor power reaches the point at which the influence of source neutrons on reactor power starts to be observable. A predictable post-scram response from an automatic reactor scram signal should therefore consist of a prompt drop in reactor power as sensed by the nuclear instrumentation and a lowering of power Into the source range. A successful scram has therefore occurred when there is sufficient rod insertion to bring the reactor power below the APRM downscale setpoint of 3% (Reference 1, 2). The significance of the second condition of this EAL is that a potential degradation of a safety system exists because a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient. Thus, plant safety has been compromised. Following any automatic RPS scram signal, Procedure 2.1.5_ prescribe insertion of redundant manual scram signals to back up the automatic RPS scram function and ensure reactor shutdown ls achieved (Reference 1). Even if the first subsequent manual scram signal inserts all control rods to the full-in position immediately after the initial failure of the automatic scram, the lowest level of classification that must be declared is an Alert. This EAL is not applicable if a manual scram is initiated and no RPS setpoints are exceeded. Taking the mode switch to shutdown is a manual scram action. When the mode switch is taken out of the Run position, however, the nuclear instrumentation scram setpoint is lowered. If reactor power remains above the lowered setpoint, an automatic scram is initiated. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 218 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] In the event the Operator identifies a reactor scram Is imminent and initiates a successful manual reactor scram before the automatic scram setpoint is reached, no declaration is required. Methods of inserting a manual scram are limited to those that can be taken rapidly at the reactor control console (Panel 9-5) and include:

  • Both manual Reactor Scram pushbuttons.
  • Reactor Mode switch in SHUTDOWN.
  • Manual or auto actuation of ARI.

Auto actuation of ARI is included in the list of methods because the Operator, by procedure, always ensures actuation of ARI has occurred if the ARI actuation setpoints are exceeded. This means action to depress the ARI pushbuttons is taken if the automatic ARI actuation setpoints are exceeded but failed to actuate. If ARI properly actuates automatically, the ARI pushbuttons are not depressed. Reactor shutdown achieved by use of the alternate rod insertion methods listed in Procedure 5.8.3 do not constitute a successful manual scram (Reference 2). The successful manual scram of the reactor before it reaches its automatic scram setpoint or reactor scram signals caused by instrumentation channel failures do not lead to a potential fission product barrier loss. If manual reactor scram actions fail to reduce reactor power below 3% (Reference 1, 2), the event escalates to the Site Area Emergency under EAL 552.1. If by procedure, Operator actions include the initiation of an immediate manual scram following receipt of an automatic scram signal and there are no clear indications the automatic scram failed (such as a time delay following indications that a scram setpoint was exceeded), it may be difficult to determine if reactor was shut down because of automatic scram or manual actions. If a subsequent review of the scram actuation indications reveals the automatic scram did not caus'e the reactor to be shut down, then consideration should be given to evaluating the fuel for potential damage and the reporting requirements of 50. 72 should be considered for the transient event.

NEI 99-01 Basis: Manual scram (trip) actions taken at the reactor control console are any set of actions by the Reactor Operator(s) which causes or should cause control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core and shuts down the reactor. This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to scram the reactor. This condition Is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient. Thus, the plant safety has been compromised because design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded. An Alert is indicated because conditions may exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS and because of the failure of the Reactor Protection System to automatically shut down the plant. If manual actions taken at the reactor control console fail to shut down the reactor, the event would escalate to a Site Area Emergency. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 220 OF 342

Methods of inserting a manual scram are limited to those that can be taken rapidly at the reactor control console (Panel 9-5) and include (Reference 1):

(continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 221 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Auto actuation of ARI is included in the list of methods because the Operator, by procedure, always ensures actuation of ARI has occurred if the ARI actuation setpoints are exceeded. This means action to depress the ARI pushbuttons is taken if the automatic ARI actuation setpoints are exceeded but failed to actuate. If ARI properly actuates automatically, the ARI pushbuttons are not depressed. Reactor shutdown achieved by use of the alternate rod insertion methods listed in Emergency Procedure 5.8.3 do not constitute a successful manual scram (Reference 2). The APRM downscale trip setpoint (3%) is a minimum reading on the power range scale that indicates power production. It also approximates the decay heat which the shutdown systems were designed to remove and is indicative of a condition requiring immediate response to prevent subsequent core damage. Below the APRM downscale trip setpoint, plant response will be similar to that observed during a normal shutdown. Nuclear instrumentation (APRM) indications or other reactor parameters (steam flow, RPV pressure, torus temperature trend) can be used to determine if reactor power is greater than 3% power (Reference 1, 3). Escalation of this event to a General Emergency would be under EAL SG2.1 or Emergency Director judgment. CNS Basis Reference(s):

NEI 99-01 Basis: Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed and efforts to bring the reactor subcritical are unsuccessful. A Site Area Emergency is warranted because conditions exist that lead to imminent loss or potential loss of both fuel clad and RCS. Manual scram actions taken at the reactor control console are any set of actions by the Reactor Operator(s) at which causes or should cause control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core and shuts down the reactor. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 222 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Manual scram actions are not considered successful if action away from the reactor control console Is required to scram the reactor. This EAL ls still applicable even if actions taken away from the reactor control console are successful in shutting the reactor down because the design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded or because of the gross failure of the Reactor Protection System to shut down the plant. Escalation of this event to a General Emergency would be due to a prolonged condition leading to an extreme challenge to either core-cooling or heat removal.

  • Any automatic reactor scram signal followed by failure of the automatic scram and all subsequent manual scrams to shut down the reactor to an extent the reactor Is producing energy in excess of the heat load for which the safety systems were designed (EAL 552.1); and
  • Indications that either core cooling is extremely challenged or heat removal is extremely challenged.

(continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 224 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Reactor shutdown achieved by use of the alternate rod insertion methods listed in Procedure 5.8.3 are credited as a successful manual scram provided reactor power can be reduced below the APRM downscale trip setpoint before indications of an extreme challenge to either core cooling or heat removal exist (Reference 1). The APRM downscale trip setpoint is a minimum reading on the power range scale that indicates power production. It also approximates the decay heat which the shutdown systems were designed to remove and is indicative of a condition requiring immediate response to prevent subsequent core damage. Below the APRM downscale trip setpoint, plant response will be similar to that observed during a normal shutdown. Nuclear instrumentation (APRM) indications or other reactor parameters (steam flow, RPV pressure, torus temperature trend) can be used to determine if reactor power is > 3% power (Reference 1, 3). The combination of failure of both front line and backup protection systems to function in response to a plant transient, along with the continued production of heat, poses a direct threat to the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers. Indication that core cooling is extremely challenged is manifested by inability to restore and maintain RPV water level above -183 inches (or cannot be determined). -183 inches is the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). The MSCRWL is the lowest RPV level at which the covered portion of the reactor core will generate sufficient steam to prevent any clad temperature in the uncovered part of the core from exceeding 1500°F (Reference 5). This water level is utilized in the EOPs to preclude fuel damage when RPV level is below the top of active fuel. RPV level below the MSCRWL for an extended period of time without satisfactory core spray cooling could be a precursor of a core melt sequence. A threshold prescribing declaration when a parameter value cannot be maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the limit (-183 inches), but does not permit extended operation below the limit. Because the systems used to restore water level have different volume and discharge pressure capabilities, and pressure control methods also have varying rates that RPV pressure can be modified to support injection, the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent the limit cannot be attained within a reasonable amount of time. Determination of inability to restore and maintain RPV level is based on actions driven by EOPs to restore level. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 225 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] When RPV level cannot be determined, EOPs require entry to EOP-7B, RPV Flooding (Failure-to-Scram). RPV water level indication provides the primary means of knowing if adequate core cooling is being maintained. When all means of determining RPV water level are unavailable, the fuel clad barrier is threatened and reliance on alternate means of assuring adequate core cooling must be attempted. The Instructions in EOP-7B specify these means, which include emergency depressurization of the RPV and injection into the RPV at a rate needed to flood to the elevation of the main steam lines or hold the Minimum Steam Cooling Pressures. The Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (HCTL) is the highest torus temperature from which Emergency RPV Depressurization will not raise torus pressure above the Primary Containment Pressure Limit (PCPL), while the rate of energy transfer from the RPV to the containment is greater than the capacity of the containment vent. The HCTL Is a function of RPV pressure and torus level. It is utilized to preclude failure of the containment and equipment in the containment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant. This threshold is met when EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control, Step SP/T-5, is reached (Reference 4). This condition addresses loss of functions required for hot shutdown with the reactor at pressure and temperature. CNS Basis Reference(s):

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed and efforts to bring the reactor subcritical are unsuccessful. The extreme challenge to the ability to cool the core Is intended to mean the reactor vessel water level cannot be restored and maintained above Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level as described in the EOP bases. Considerations include inability to remove heat via the main condenser or via the suppression pool or torus (e.g., due to high pool water temperature). In the event either of these challenges exists at a time the reactor has not been brought below the power associated with the safety system design, a core melt sequence exists. In this situation, core degradation can occur rapidly. For this reason, the General Emergency declaration is intended to be anticipatory of the fission product barrier table declaration to permit maximum off-site Intervention time.

While failure of a large portion of annunciators is more likely than a failure of a large portion of indications, the concern is included in this EAL due to difficulty associated with assessment of plant conditions. The loss of specific or several safety system indicators should remain a function of that specific system or component operability status. This will be addressed by the specific Technical Specification. The initiation of a Technical Specification imposed plant shutdown related to the instrument loss will be reported per 10CFRSO. 72. If shutdown is not in compliance with the Technical Specification action, the UE is based on SU3.1, Inability to Reach Required Shutdown Within Technical Specification Limits. A Site Area Emergency is considered to exist if Control Room Staff cannot monitor safety functions needed for protection of the public while a significant transient is in-progress. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 237 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Site specific indications needed to monitor safety functions necessary for protection of the public must include Control Room indications, computer generated indications, and dedicated annunciation capability. "Compensatory indications" in this context includes computer based information such as PMIS/SPDS. This should include all computer systems available for this use depending on specific plant design and subsequent retrofits. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 238 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Category: S - System Malfunction Subcategory: 5 - Fuel Clad Degradation Initiating Condition: Fuel clad degradation EAL: SU5.1 Unusual Event SJAE monitor > 1.58E+3 mR/hr Mode Applicability: 1 - Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Shutdown CNS Basis: Steam Jet Air Ejectors (SJAEs) remove all non-condensable gases from the condensers including air in-leakage and disassociated products originating in the reactor and exhausts them to the off-gas holdup volume. A rise in off-gas activity could therefore indicate damage to the fuel cladding, a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant, and a potential precursor of more serious problems. The Technical Specification allowable limit is ~ 1 Ci/sec. The SJAE monitor Hi-Hi radiation setpoint is set at 50% of the instantaneous release limit and represents ~ 0.1 % fuel cladding damage. The SJAE monitor Hi-HI radiation setpoint has been selected because it is operationally significant and is readily recognizable by the Control Room Operating Staff (Reference 2-6). The Off-Gas System isolates after a 15 minute time delay (Reference 2, 3). In the Hot Modes, a steam source is available from which non-condensables can be separated for processing by the Off-Gas System. The Cold Shutdown, Refueling, and Defueled Modes do not afford a transfer mechanism from which the off-gas radiation monitors can draw a valid sample. The radiation monitors lose a valid sample source when the air ejectors are not in service (Reference 2, 4, 5). (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 239 OF 342

  • Sensing excess flow in piping systems.
  • Sensing pressure and temperature changes in the Primary Containment.
  • Monitoring for high flow and temperature through selected drains.
  • Sampling airborne particulate and gaseous radioactivity.
  • Drywell floor and equipment drain sump leak rate alarm system.

(continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 242 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] The 10 gpm value for the unidentified drywell leakage was selected because it is observable with normal Control Room measurement of sump pump out rates (e.g., Drywell Sump Pump Flow RW-FR-528, red/blue pen, etc.). Drywell equipment Sump G and drywell floor drain Sump F each have a FILL UP RATE HIGH annunciator on Panel 9-4-2. If either sump fills from the low-level switch reset point to the high-level pump start point before a preset timer has timed out, the annunciator will alarm indicating the sumps are filling at an excessive rate. Sumps F and G will overflow to each other through a trench system. Drywell equipment and floor drain sump pump isolation valves isolate on RPV low water level (~ 3 inches) or high drywell pressure (~ 1.84 psig). A SRV that opens but cannot be closed from the Control Room meets this criterion and the UE should be declared. CNS Basis Reference(s):

ATTACHMENT 2 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is included as an Unusual Event because it may be a precursor of more serious conditions and, as result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The 10 gpm value for the unidentified or pressure boundary leakage was selected as it is observable with normal Control Room indications. Lesser values must generally be determined through time-consuming surveillance tests (e.g., mass balances). Relief valve normal operation should be excluded from this EAL. However, a relief valve that operates and fails to close per design should be considered applicable to this EAL if relief valve cannot be isolated. The EAL for identified leakage is set at a higher value due to the lesser significance of identified leakage in comparison to unidentified or pressure boundary leakage. In either case, escalation of this EAL to the Alert level is per the Fission Product Barrier Degradation EALs. PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 244 OF 342

Battery chargers receive their power from 460V critical motor control centers. Each 125 VDC bus receives power from either a 125 VDC battery or a 125 VDC battery charger. The battery chargers receive their power from 460V critical motor control centers. The 250 VDC System supplies DC power to conventional station emergency equipment and selected Safeguard System loads. Although 250 VDC Buses 1A and 1B provide vital DC emergency power, 250 VDC Safety System loads (such as motor operated valves) also require 125 VDC control power. Loss of 125 VDC buses alone, therefore, would render most Safeguard System loads inoperable (Reference 4, 5, 6).

  • Station Intercom System "Gaitronics": Permits communication between the different parts of the plant and it also incorporates a public address system for plant wide announcements.
  • Site UHF Radio Consoles: The site UHF radio system uses four repeaters; Base 1 and Base 2 are used by Operations, Base 3 and Base 4 are used by Security. These repeaters operate on different frequencies. All remote control, portable, and mobile units are capable of selecting either repeater.
  • Radio Paging System: CNS leases pagers and radio paging services from a telecommunications company. Pagers are issued to various Management and Emergency Response personnel at CNS and other NPPD locations. Pagers can be activated from any touch-tone phone, on-site or off-site.
  • Alternate Intercom: Provides an alternate in-plant communications network utilizing a secondary telephone system. This system is located in the ERP shack and has battery back-up.
  • CNS On-Site Cell Phone System.
  • Telephone System (PBX): Provides voice communication between virtually all buildings, offices, and operation facilities within the station. The telephone system also provides communications between the plant and off-site facilities via the telephone switchboard network. The system allows Operating Crews to alert plant personnel in emergencies. The telephone company provides the normal and leased line services.
  • Federal Telecommunications System (FTS 2001): The Health Physics Network (HPN) and Emergency Notification System (ENS) provide communications between NRC and CNS during an emergency.
  • Local Telephones (C.O. Lines).

NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses loss of communications capability that either prevents the plant operations staff ability to perform routine tasks necessary for plant operations or inhibits the ability to communicate problems externally to off-site authorities from the Control Room. The loss of off-site communications ability encompasses the loss of all means of communications with off-site authorities and is expected to be significantly more comprehensive than the condition addressed by 10CFR50. 72. The availability of one method of ordinary off-site communications is sufficient to inform federal, state, and local authorities of plant problems. This EAL is intended to be used only when extraordinary means (e.g., relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being sent to off-site locations, etc.) are being utilized to make communications possible.

Table F-1 (Attachment 3) lists the fission product barrier thresholds, bases, and references. At the Site Area Emergency classification level, each barrier is weighted equally. A Site Area Emergency is therefore appropriate for any combination of the following conditions:

  • One barrier loss and a second barrier loss (i.e., loss - loss).
  • One barrier loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., loss - potential loss).
  • One barrier potential loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., potential loss - potential loss).

At the Site Area Emergency classification level, the ability to dynamically assess the proximity of present conditions with respect to the threshold for a General Emergency is important. For example, the existence of Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier loss thresholds In addition to off-site dose assessments would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and Primary Containment integrity in anticipation of reaching a General Emergency classification. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS potential loss thresholds existed, the Emergency Director would have greater assurance that escalation to a General Emergency is less imminent.

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] ATTAO-IMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TEO-INICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Introduction Table F-1 lists the threshold conditions that define the Loss and Potential Loss of the three fission product barriers (Fuel Clad, Reactor Coolant System, and Primary Containment). The table is structured so that each of the three barriers occupies adjacent columns. Each fission product barrier column is further divided into two columns; one for Loss thresholds and one for Potential Loss thresholds. The first column of the table (to the left of the Fuel Clad Loss column) lists the categories (types) of fission product barrier thresholds. The fission product barrier categories are: A. RPV Level. B. PC Pressure/Temperature. C. Isolation. D. ERD. E. Rad. F. Judgment. Each category occupies a row in Table F-1, thus forming a matrix defined by the categories. The intersection of each row with each Loss/Potential Loss column forms a cell in which one or more fission product barrier thresholds appear. If NEI 99-01 does not define a threshold for a barrier Loss/Potential Loss, the word "None" is entered in the cell. Thresholds are assigned sequential numbers so that they can be easily identified. If a cell in Table F-1 contains more than one numbered threshold, each of the numbered thresholds, if exceeded, signifies a Loss or Potential Loss of the barrier. It is not necessary to exceed all of the thresholds in a category before declaring a barrier Loss/Potential Loss. Subdivision of Table F-1 by category facilitates association of plant conditions to the applicable fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds. This structure promotes a systematic approach to assessing the classification status of the fission product barriers. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 258 OF 342 J I

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] When equipped with knowledge of plant conditions related to the fission product barriers, the EAL-user first scans down the category column of Table F-1, locates the likely category and then reads across the fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds in that category to determine if a threshold has been exceeded. If a threshold has not been exceeded, the EAL-user proceeds to the next likely category and continues review of the thresholds in the new category. If EAL-user determines that any threshold has been exceeded, by definition, the barrier is lost or potentially lost - even if multiple thresholds in the same barrier column are exceeded, only that one barrier is lost or potentially lost. The EAL-user must examine each of the three fission product barriers to determine if other barrier thresholds in the category are lost or potentially lost. For example, if containment radiation is sufficiently high, a Loss of the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers and a Potential Loss of the Primary Containment barrier can occur. Barrier Losses and Potential Losses are then applied to the algorithms given In EALs FGl.1, FSl.1, FAl.1, and FU 1.1 to determine the appropriate emergency classification. In the remainder of this attachment, the Fuel Clad barrier threshold bases appear first, followed by the RCS barrier, and finally the Primary Containment barrier threshold bases. In each barrier, the bases are given according category Loss followed by category Potential Loss beginning with Category A, then B, then C, then D, then E, and then F.

CNS Basis: EOP-lA, EOP-2B; EOP-7A, and EOP-7B specify entry into SAG 1 when it is determined that core damage is occurring due to loss of core cooling (Reference 1). SAG entry signifies the need to implement severe accident mitigation actions. These EOPs provide instructions to ensure adequate core cooling by maintaining RPV water level above prescribed limits or operating sufficient RPV injection sources when level cannot be determined. SAG 1 entry is required during Non-Failure-to-Scram events when any of the following conditions exist (Reference 1):

  • RPV water level cannot be restored and maintained above -183 inches (MSCRWL, EOP-lA) (Reference 2, 6).
  • RPV water level cannot be restored and maintained at or above -209 inches (elevation of the jet pump suction) and no core spray subsystem flow can be restored and maintained equal to or~ 4,750 gpm (design core spray flow, EOP-lA) (Reference 2, 7).

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] SAG 1 entry ~s required during Failure-to-Scram events when RPV water level cannot be restored and maintained > -183 inches and core steam flow cannot be restored and maintained > 800,000 lbm/hr (Reference 3, 6). The specified steam flow is the Minimum Core Steam Flow (MCSF). The MCSF is the lowest core steam flow sufficient to preclude any clad temperature from exceeding 1500°F even if reactor core is not completely covered (Reference 6). The MCSF is only applicable in failure-to-scram events because reactor power must be well above the decay heat generation rate for steam production to equal the MCSF. Whether or not RPV water level can be determined, SAG 1 entry is also required when core damage is occurring due to loss of core cooling (EOP-lA, EOP-2B, EOP-7A, or EOP-7B) (Reference 2, 3, 4, 5). If RPV water level cannot be determined, the absence of core damage indications may be the only means of determining if adequate core cooling is being maintained. If RPV water level can be determined, restoration of RPV water level to above -183 inches and restoration of core spray cooling requirements may not occur in a timely manner. If indications of core damage occur while RPV injection is being restored, entry to SAG 1 is appropriate even if required water levels and spray cooling flow are eventually achieved. Fuel Clad Losses 2 and 6 (drywell radiation), 3 (primary containment activity), 4 (MSL Hi-Hi Rad), and 5 (SJAE Monitor dose rate) are thresholds that would be indicative of core damage occurring due to loss of core cooling. The above EOP conditions represent a challenge to core cooling and are the minimum values to assure core cooling without further degradation of the clad. This threshold is also a Potential Loss of the Primary Containment barrier (PC P-Loss 25). Since the EOP requirement for SAG 1 entry is reached after core uncovery has occurred, a Loss of the RCS barrier exists (RCS Loss 10). SAG entry, therefore, represents a Loss of two barriers and a Potential Loss of a third, which requires a General Emergency classification. The EALs are aligned to the updated guidance of EPG/SAG Revision 3 such that the plant Operator can readily implement both when needed (Reference 8).

8. RPV level cannot be restored and maintained > -158 in. or cannot be determined CNS Basis:

The KEY consideration of this criterion is adequate core cooling. RPV conditions that result In Inadequate core cooling shall result in determinations that the fuel clad barrier has been potentially lost and the RCS barrier has been lost. A RPV level instrument reading of -158 inches indicates RPV level is at the top of active fuel (TAF) (Reference 4). When RPV level is at or above TAF, the core is completely submerged. Core submergence Is the most desirable means of core cooling. When RPV level is below TAF, the uncovered portion of the core must be cooled by less reliable means (i.e., steam cooling or spray cooling). To reach this level, RPV inventory loss would have previously required isolation of the RCS and Primary Containment barriers, and initiation of all ECCS. If after RPV pressure reduction (either manually, automatically, or by failure of the RCS barrier), RPV level cannot be restored and maintained above TAF, ECCS and other sources of RPV injection have been ineffective or incapable of reversing the decreasing level trend. If core uncovery is threatened, the EOPs specify alternate, more extreme, RPV level control measures in order to restore and maintain adequate core cooling. Since core uncovery begins if RPV level drops below TAF, the level ls indicative of a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier. EOPs allow the Operator a wide choice of RPV injection sources to consider when evaluating if RPV water level can be restored and maintained to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization of the RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration of RPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, an important consideration Is the status of adequate core cooling during the pressure reduction process. A rapid depressurization which allows refilling the RPV with a high volume system will normally maintain adequate cooling with steam flow. Slow depressurizations, however, may challenge adequate core cooling due to both low water levels and low steam flows. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 264 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] A threshold prescribing declaration when a parameter value cannot be maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the limit (top of active fuel), but does not permit extended operation below the limit. Because the systems used to restore water level have different volume and discharge pressure capabilities, and pressure control methods also have varying rates that RPV pressure can be modified to support injection, the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent the top of active fuel cannot be attained within a reasonable amount of time. Determination of inability to restore and maintain RPV level is based on actions driven by EOPs to restore level. In* high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the Operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then controlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power Is the higher priority. For such events, ICs SA2, 552, and SG2 will dictate an emergency classification. The fission product barrier criteria should continue to be evaluated independently to identify barrier conditions that would require escalation of the classification. When RPV level cannot be determined, EOPs require entry to EOP-2B, RPV Flooding, or EOP-7B, RPV Flooding (Failure-to-Scram). RPV water level indication provides the primary means of knowing if adequate core cooling is being maintained. When all means of determining RPV water level are unavailable, the fuel clad barrier is threatened and reliance on alternate means of assuring adequate core cooling must be attempted. The instructions in EOP-2B/7B specify these means, which include emergency depressurization of the RPV and injection into the RPV at a rate needed to flood to the elevation of the main steam lines or hold the Minimum Steam Cooling Pressures (in scram-failure events). If RPV water level cannot be determined with respect to the top of active fuel, a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier exists (Reference 1, 3). CNS Basis Reference(s):

Drywell radiation monitor (RMA-RM-40A/B) > 2.50E+03 Rem/hr CNS Basis: EPIP 5.7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual), Core Damage Estimation attachment provides a method of calculating percent fuel clad damage and fuel melt based on drywell radiation. Under LOCA conditions, a reading of 2.44E+6 Rem/hr corresponds to 100% core melt on drywell radiation Monitors RMA-RM-40A/B. A value of 2.44E+3 Rem/hr (rounded to 2.50E+03 Rem/hr) yields 1% fuel clad damage using this method. In order to reach this Fuel Clad barrier Potential Loss threshold, a loss of the RCS barrier has already occurred (see RCS Loss 14). This threshold, therefore, represents at least a Site Area Emergency classification. CNS Basis Reference{s):

1. EPIP 5.7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual).

NEI 99-01 Basis: 2.50E+03 Rem/hr is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage, into the drywell. The reading was calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration

                                          ~

of~ 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent I-131 ( 1% clad damage) into the drywell atmosphere. Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine spiking) allowed within Technical Specifications and are therefore indicative of fuel damage. This value is higher than that specified for RCS barrier Loss Threshold 14. Thus, this threshold indicates a loss of both Fuel Clad barrier and RCS barrier that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency.

The Hi-Hi alarm setpoint for the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitors is based on a Control Rod Drop Accident. This accident is most severe when initiated at< 10% rated thermal power. The setpoint is a multiple of the normal full power background reading on these monitors that was observed during the previous operating cycle. Clad damage resulting in the Hi-Hi Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor Alarms due to a Control Rod Drop Accident could exceed 2% of the core's fuel rods.

NEDC 02-009 assumes that cladding damage has resulted in 300 µCi/gm of I-131 in the reactor coolant and that non-LOCA conditions exist. The calculated value is based strictly on shine from the RR System piping, and as a result, is only valid if primary containment parameters do not indicate increased RCS leakage. With increased RCS leakage, any contaminants in the coolant could be in closer proximity to the detectors (as an aerosol or vapor) causing the monitors to read higher. If elevated RCS leakage is suspected, a drywell radiation monitor reading of 2500 R/hr, per Criteria 2, is the appropriate threshold for this parameter to determine Fuel Clad failure.

10. RPV level cannot be restored and maintained > -158 in. or cannot be determined CNS Basis:

The KEY consideration of this criterion is the ability to maintain adequate core cooling. RPV conditions that result in inadequate core cooling shall result In determinations that the fuel clad barrier has been potentially lost and the RCS barrier has been lost. A RPV level instrument reading of -158 inches indicates RPV level is at the top of active fuel (TAF) (Reference 4). TAF is significantly lower than the normal operating RPV level control band. To reach this level, RPV Inventory loss would have previously required isolation of the RCS and Primary Containment barriers, and initiation of all ECCS. If after RPV pressure reduction (either manually, automatically, or by failure of the RCS barrier), RPV level cannot be restored and maintained above TAF, ECCS, and other sources of RPV injection have been ineffective or incapable of reversing the decreasing level trend. The cause of the loss of RPV inventory is therefore assumed to be a LOCA. By definition, a LOCA event is a Loss of the RCS barrier. EOPs allow the Operator a wide choice of RPV injection sources to consider when evaluating if RPV water level can be restored and maintained, to within prescribed limits. EOPs also specify depressurization of the RPV in order to facilitate RPV water level control with low-pressure injection sources. In some events, elevated RPV pressure may prevent restoration of RPV water level until pressure drops below the shutoff heads of available injection sources. Therefore, an important consideration is the status of adequate core cooling during the pressure reduction process. A rapid depressurization which allows refilling the RPV with a high volume system will normally maintain adequate cooling with steam flow. Slow depressurizations, however, may challenge adequate core cooling due to both low water levels and low steam flows. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 274 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] A threshold prescribing declaration when a parameters value cannot be maintained above a specified limit does not require immediate action simply because the current value is below the limit (top of active fuel), but does not permit extended operation below the limit. Because the systems used to restore water level have different volume and discharge pressure capabilities, and pressure control methods also have varying rates that RPV pressure can be modified to support injection, the threshold must be considered reached as soon as it is apparent the top of active fuel cannot be attained within a reasonable amount of time. Determination of inability to restore and maintain RPV level is based on actions driven by EOPs to restore level. In high-power ATWS/failure to scram events, EOPs may direct the Operator to deliberately lower RPV water level to the top of active fuel in order to reduce reactor power. RPV water level is then controlled between the top of active fuel and the Minimum Steam Cooling RPV Water Level (MSCRWL). Although such action is a challenge to core cooling and the Fuel Clad barrier, the immediate need to reduce reactor power is the higher priority. For such events, ICs SA2, SS2, and SG2 will dictate an emergency classification. The fission product barrier criteria should continue to be evaluated independently to identify barrier conditions that would require escalation of the classification. When RPV level cannot be determined, EOPs require entry to EOP-2B, RPV Flooding, or EOP-7B, RPV Flooding (Failure-to-Scram). The instructions in EOP-2B/7B specify emergency depressurization of the RPV, which is defined to be a Loss of the RCS barrier (RCS Loss 10) (Reference 1, 3). CNS Basis Reference(s):

PC Pressure/Temperature Degradation Threat: Loss Threshold: I11. PC pressure > 1.84 psig due to 'Res leakage CNS Basis: The Primary Containment (PC) high pressure scram setpoint is an entry condition to EOP-1A, RPV Control, and EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control (Reference 1, 2). Normal Primary Containment pressure control functions (e.g., operation of drywell cooling, SBGT, etc.) are specified in EOP-3A in advance of less desirable but more effective functions (e.g., operation of drywell or torus sprays, etc.). In the CNS design basis, Primary Containment pressures above the high pressure scram setpoint are assumed to be the result of a high-energy release into the containment for which normal pressure control systems are inadequate or incapable of reversing the increasing pressure trend. Pressures of this magnitude, however, can be caused by non-LOCA events such as a loss of drywell cooling or inability to control Primary Containment vent/purge (Reference 3). The threshold phrase " ... due to RCS leakage" focuses the barrier failure on the RCS instead of the non-LOCA malfunctions that may adversely affect Primary Containment pressure. PC pressure > 1.84 psig with corollary indications (drywell temperature, humidity, etc.) should therefore be considered a Loss of the RCS barrier. Loss of drywell cooling that results in pressure > 1.84 psig should not be considered a RCS barrier Loss. CNS Basis Reference(s):

12. Release pathway exists outside Primary Containment resulting from isolation failure in any of the following (excluding normal process system flowpaths from an unisolable system):
  • Main steam line.
  • HPCI steam line.
  • RCIC steam line.
  • RWCU.
  • Feedwater.

CNS Basis: The conditions of this threshold Include required containment isolation failures allowing a flow path to the environment. A release pathway outside Primary Containment exists when flow is not prevented by downstream isolations. In the case of a failure of both isolation valves to close but in which no downstream flowpath exists, emergency declaration under this threshold would not be required. Similarly, if emergency response requires the normal process flow of a system outside Primary Containment (e.g., EOP requirement to bypass MSIV low RPV water level interlocks and maintain the main condenser as a heat sink using main turbine bypass valves), the threshold is not met. The combination of these threshold conditions represent the loss of both the RCS and Primary Containment (see PC Loss 21) barriers and justifies declaration of a Site Area Emergency (i.e., Loss or Potential Loss of any two barriers). Even though RWCU and Feedwater Systems do not contain steam, they are included in the list because an unisolable break could result in the high-pressure discharge of fluid that is flashed to steam from relatively large volume systems directly connected to the RCS.

This method of monitoring leakage may be isolated as part of the drywell isolation, and thus, may be unavailable. If primary system leak rate information ls unavaUable, other indicators of RCS leakage should be used (Reference 1-6).

17. Unisolable primary system discharge outside Primary Containment as indicated by exceeding any Secondary Containment Maximum Normal Operating temperature or radiation value (EOP-SA Tables 9 and :1,.0)

CNS Basis: The presence of elevated general area temperatures or radiation levels in the Secondary Containment may be indicative of unisolable primary system leakage outside the Primary Containment. The Maximum Normal Operating values define this RCS threshold because they signify the onset of abnormal system operation. When parameters reach this level, equipment failure or mis-operation may be occurring. Elevated parameters may also adversely affect the ability to gain access to or operate equipment within the affected area. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in EOP-SA, Secondary Containment Control, Tables 9 and 10 (Reference 1) (see below). In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system is discharging outside Primary Containment. For example, a high area radiation condition does not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the Secondary Containment since this may be caused by radiation shine from nearby steam lines or the movement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition in conjunction with other indications (e.g., room flooding, high area temperatures, reports of steam in the Secondary Containment, an unexpected rise in feedwater flowrate, or unexpected main turbine control valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharging into the Secondary Containment. As indicated by Note 5 in EOP-SA, Table 10, RP surveys and ARM teledosimetry system may be used for these indications. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 282 OF 342

ERO Degradation Threat: Loss Threshold: I13. Emergency RPV Depressurlzation is required CNS Basis: Plant symptoms requiring Emergency RPV Depressurization per the EOPs are indicative of a loss of the RCS barrier. If Emergency RPV depressurization is required, the plant Operators are directed to open safety relief valves (SRVs). Even though the RCS is being vented into the suppression pool, a loss of the RCS should be considered to exist due to the diminished effectiveness of the RCS pressure barrier to a release of fission products beyond its boundary. Revision 3 of the BWROG EPG allows for limiting Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) depressurization by reclosing the Safety Relief Valves (SRVs) under certain conditions. This strategy is intended to prolong operation of steam-driven water injection sources required for adequate core cooling (e.g., RCIC System and/or HPCI) following an extended loss of AC power, and thus maintain the core cooling safety function. When the requirement to enact Emergency Depressurizatlon occurs during such an event, Operators will determine if RPV depressurization will result in a loss of RCIC/HPCI, and, if so, terminate depressurization while maintaining RPV pressure as low as practicable. There is no effect on the fission product barrier threshold intent. The relationship between the operationally significant action and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) barrier status is unchanged, i.e., performing an Emergency RPV Depressurization per EOPs remains indicative of a loss of the RCS barrier, even though the SRVs may be reclosed. RCS mass has been lost to the wetwell and subsequent depressurizatlons may be required (i.e., the ability of the RCS pressure boundary to serve as an effective barrier to a release of fission products has been diminished). In conclusion, the threshold basis of this EAL remains in effect once the Emergency Depressurlzation starts, even though Operators may reclose the SRVs before the full depressurization is complete (Reference 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 10).

Drywell radiation monitor (RMA-RM-40A/B) > 2.40E+02 Rem/hr CNS Basis: EPIP 5. 7 .17 .1, Dose Assessment (Manual), Core Damage Estimation attachment provides a method of calculating percent fuel clad damage and fuel melt based on drywell radiation. Under LOCA conditions, a reading of 2.44E+6 Rem/hr corresponds to 100% core melt on RMA-RM-40A/B. A value of 2.44E+2 Rem/hr (rounded to 2.40E+02 Rem/hr) yields 0.1 % fuel clad damage using this method. This amount of clad damage is approximately the equivalent of Technical Specification coolant activity discharged uniformly throughout the Primary Containment (Reference 1). CNS Basis Reference(s):

NEI 99-01 Basis: The 2.40E+02 Rem/hr value indicates the release of reactor coolant to the Primary Containment. The reading was calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with normal operating concentrations (i.e., within Technical Specifications) into the drywell atmosphere. This reading is less than that specified for Fuel Clad barrier Loss Threshold 2. Thus, this threshold would be indicative of a RCS leak only.

  • RPV water level cannot be restored and maintained at or above -209 inches (elevation of the jet pump suction) and no core spray subsystem flow can be restored and maintained~ 4,750 gpm (design core spray flow, EOP-lA)

(Reference 2, 7). SAG 1 entry is required during Failure-to-Scram events when RPV water level cannot be restored and maintained > -183 inches and core steam flow cannot be restored and maintained > 800,000 lbm/hr (Reference 3, 6). The specified steam flow is the Minimum Core Steam Flow (MCSF). The MCSF is the lowest core steam flow sufficient to preclude any clad temperature from exceeding 1500°F even if reactor core is not completely covered (Reference 6). The MCSF is only applicable in failure-to-scram events because reactor power must be well above the decay heat generation rate for steam production to equal the MCSF.

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Whether or not RPV water level can be determined, SAG 1 entry is also required when core damage ls occurring due to loss of core cooling (EOP-lA, EOP-2B, EOP-7A, or EOP-7B) (Reference 2, 3, 4, 5). If RPV water level cannot be determined, the absence of core damage indications may be the only means of determining if adequate core cooling is being maintained. If RPV water level can be determined, restoration of RPV water level to above -183 inches and restoration of core spray cooling requirements may not occur in a timely manner. If indications of core damage occur while RPV injection is being restored, entry to SAG 1 is appropriate even if the required water levels and spray cooling flow are eventually achieved. The above EOP conditions represent a potential core melt sequence which could lead to RPV failure and increased potential for containment failure. This threshold is also a Loss of the Fuel Clad barrier (FC Loss 1). Since SAG entry occurs after core uncovery has occurred, a Loss of the RCS barrier exists (RCS Loss 7). SAG entry, therefore, represents a Loss of two barriers and a Potential Loss of a third, which requires a General Emergency classification. The EALs are aligned to the updated guidance of EPG/SAG Revision 3 such that the plant Operator can readily implement both when needed (Reference 8). CNS Basis Reference( s):

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] NEI 99-01 Basis: The potential loss requirement for SAG 1 indicates adequate core cooling cannot be established and maintained and that core melt Is possible. Entry Into the SAG 1 is a logical escalation in response to the inability to maintain adequate core cooling. EOPs direct SAG 1 entry when it is determined that core damage is occurring due to loss of core cooling (Reference 1): The condition in this potential loss threshold represents a potential core melt sequence which, if not corrected, could lead to vessel failure and increased potential for containment failure. In conjunction with Reactor Vessel water level "Loss" thresholds in the Fuel Clad and RCS barrier columns, this threshold will result In the declaration of a General Emergency - loss of two barriers and the potential loss of a third.

None CNS Basis Reference(s): None NEI 99-01 Basis: Rapid unexplained loss of pressure (i.e., not attributable to drywell spray or condensation effects) following an initial pressure increase from a high energy line break indicates a loss of containment integrity. This indicator relies on Operator recognition of an unexpected response for the condition and therefore does not have a specific value associated with it. The unexpected response is important because it is the indicator for a containment bypass condition. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 294 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Barrier: Containment Category: B. PC Pressure/Temperature Degradation Threat: Loss Threshold: I20. PC pressure response not consistent with LOCA conditions CNS Basis: Analysis of the Primary Containment response to a postulated OBA LOCA event gives a peak drywell pressure of 54.4 psig and a peak drywell temperature of 301.4°F. These peak values were obtained for the power/flow point of 1020/oP/75°/oF (MELLL point). Due to conservatisms in LOCA analyses, actual pressure response is expected to be less than the analyzed response. For example, blowdown mass flowrate may be only 60% to 80% of the analyzed rate. The unexpected response is important because it is the indicator for a containment bypass condition (Reference 1). As stated in the NEI 99-01 basis, the anticipated response to a LOCA is that the Primary Containment pressure would increase. The failure of torus to drywell vacuum breaker(s) could cause peak Primary Containment pressure to be higher than the analyzed peak Primary Containment pressure, but this condition is addressed by the potential containment failure Criteria 26. As such, violation of the pressure suppression pressure curve (PSP) does not constitute a loss of the Primary Containment. CNS Basis Reference(s):

1. USAR Section XIV-6.3. 7.

NEI 99-01 Basis: Primary Containment pressure should increase initially as a result of mass and energy release into containment from a LOCA. Thus, Primary Containment pressure not initially increasing under these conditions indicates a loss of containment integrity. This indicator relies on Operator recognition of an unexpected response for the condition and therefore does not have a specific value associated with it. The unexpected response is important because it is the indicator for a containment bypass condition. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 295 OF 342

PC Pressure/Temperature Degradation Threat: Potential Loss Threshold: I26. PC pressure > 56 psig and rising CNS Basis: The Primary Containment internal design pressure is 56 psig (Reference 1). If this threshold is exceeded, a challenge to the Primary Containment structure has occurred because assumptions used in the accident analysis are no longer valid and an unanalyzed condition exists. This constitutes a Potential Loss of the Primary Containment barrier even if a containment breach has not occurred. CNS Basis Reference(s):

27. Deflagration concentrations exist inside PC
    * ~  6% H2 in drywell or torus (or cannot be determined)

AND

    *  ~ 5% 02 In drywell or torus or cannot be determined)

CNS Basis: Deflagration (explosive) mixtures in the Primary Containment are assumed to be elevated concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen. BWR industry evaluation of hydrogen generation for development of EOPs/SAMGs indicates that any hydrogen concentration above minimum detectable is not to be expected within the short term. Post-LOCA hydrogen generation primarily caused by radiolysis is a slowly evolving, long-term condition. Hydrogen concentrations that rapidly develop are most likely caused by metal-water reaction. A metal-water reaction is indicative of an accident more severe than accidents considered in the plant design basis and would be indicative, therefore, of a potential threat to Primary Containment Integrity. Except for brief periods during plant startup and shutdown, oxygen concentration In the Primary Containment is maintained at insignificant levels by nitrogen inertion. The specified values for this Potential Loss threshold are the minimum global deflagration concentration limits (6% hydrogen and 5% oxygen) and readily recognizable because 6% hydrogen is well above the EOP-3, Primary Containment Control, entry condition (Reference 2, 3). Since the EOPs/SAGs require deflagration concentration actions to be performed when hydrogen and oxygen concentrations cannot be determined, the phrase has been added to the* meaning of explosive mixtures. The minimum global deflagration hydrogen/oxygen concentrations (6% and 5%, respectively) require intentional Primary Containment venting, which is defined to be a Loss of Containment (PC Loss 22).

28. Average torus water temperature and RPV pressure cannot be maintained within the Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (EOP/SAG Graph 7)

CNS Basis: This threshold is met when EOP-3, Primary Containment Control, Step SP/T-5 is reached (Reference 1). CNS Basis Reference(s):

1. EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control.

N EI 99-01 Basis: The Heat Capacity Temperature Limit (HCTL) is the highest suppression pool temperature from which Emergency RPV Depressurization will not raise:

  • Suppression chamber temperature above the maximum temperature capability of the suppression chamber and equipment within the suppression chamber which may be required to operate when the RPV is pressurized; or
  • Suppression chamber pressure above Primary Containment Pressure Limit A, while the rate of energy transfer from the RPV to the containment is greater than the capacity of the containment vent.

The HCTL is a function of RPV pressure and suppression pool water level. It is utilized to preclude failure of the containment and equipment in the containment necessary for the safe shutdown of the plant and therefore, the inability to maintain plant parameters below the limit constitutes a potential loss of containment.

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Barrier: Primary Containment Category: C. Isolation Degradation Threat: Loss Threshold:

21. Failure of all valves in any one line to close AND Direct downstream pathway to the environment exists after PC isolation signal CNS Basis:

This threshold addresses failure of open isolation devices which should close upon receipt of a manual or automatic containment isolation signal resulting in a significant radiological release pathway directly to the environment. The concern is the unisolable open pathway to the environment. A failure of the ability to isolate any one line indicates a breach of Primary Containment integrity. Leakage into a closed system is to be considered only if the closed system is breached and thereby creates a significant pathway to the environment. Examples include unisolable Main steam line, HPCI steam line, or RCIC steam line breaks, unisolable RWCU System breaks, and unisolable containment atmosphere vent paths. If main condenser is available with an unisolable main steam line, there may be releases through the steam jet air ejectors and gland seal exhausters. These pathways are monitored, however, and do not meet the intent of a non-isolable release path to the environment. These minor releases are assessed using the Category A, Abnormal Rad Release/Rad Effluent, EALs. The threshold is met if the breach is not isolable from the Control Room or an attempt for isolation from the Control Room has been made and was unsuccessful. An attempt for isolation from the Control Room should be made prior to the emergency classification. However, the expectation is that assessment, classification, and declaration of an emergency condition be made within 15 minutes after initial availability of the indication of a breach of Primary Containment integrity. If Operator actions from the Control Room are successful, this threshold is not applicable. Credit is not given for Operator actions taken in-plant (outside the Control Room) to isolate the breach.

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control, Step PC/P-6, may specify Primary Containment venting and intentional bypassing of the containment isolation valve logic, even if off-site radioactivity release rate limits are exceeded (Reference 1). - Under these conditions with a valid containment isolation signal, the containment barrier should be considered lost under Criteria 22 for Intentional PC venting per EOPs. CNS Basis Reference(s):

1. EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control.

NEI 99-01 Basis: These thresholds address incomplete containment isolation that allows direct release to the environment. The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems. The existence of an in-line charcoal filter does not make a release path indirect since the filter is not effective at removing fission product noble gases. Typical filters have an efficiency of 95% to 99% removal of iodine. Given the magnitude of the core inventory of iodine, significant releases could still occur. In addition, since the fission product release would be driven by boiling in the reactor vessel, the high humidity in the release stream can be expected to render the filters ineffective in a short period.

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Barrier: Primary Containment Category: C. Isolation Degradation Threat: Loss Threshold: I22. Intentional PC venting per EOPs CNS Basis: EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control, Steps PC/P-3 and PC/P-8, may specify Primary Containment venting and intentional bypassing of the containment isolation valve logic, even if off-site radioactivjty release rate limits are exceeded (Reference 1). The threshold is met when the Operator begins venting the Primary Containment in accordance with EOP-3A, not when actions are taken to bypass interlocks prior to opening the vent valves. Purge and vent actions specified in EOP-3A, Step PC/P-1, to control Primary Containment pressure below the Primary Containment high pressure scram setpoint does not meet this threshold because such action is only permitted if off-site radioactivity release rates will remain below ODAM limits. CNS Basis Reference(s):

1. EOP-3A, Primary Containment Control.

NEI 99-01 Basis: The EOPs may direct containment isolation valve logic(s) to be Intentionally bypassed, regardless of radioactivity release rates. Under these conditions with a valid containment isolation signal, the containment should also be considered lost if containment venting is actually performed. Intentional venting of Primary Containment for Primary Containment pressure or combustible gas control per EOPs to the Secondary Containment and/or the environment is considered a loss of containment. Containment venting for pressure when not in an accident situation should not be considered. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 302 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 3 FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS - INDICATIONS OF LOSS OR POTENTIAL LOSS TECHNICAL BASES [INFORMATION USE] Barrier: Primary Containment Category: C. Isolation Degradation Threat: Loss Threshold:

23. Unisolable primary system discharge outside PC as indicated by exceeding any Secondary Containment Maximum Safe Operating temperature or radiation value (EOP-SA, Tables 9 and 10)

CNS Basis: The Maximum Safe Operating values define this Primary Containment barrier threshold because they are indicative of problems in the Secondary Containment that are spreading and pose a threat to achieving a safe plant shutdown. This threshold addresses problematic discharges outside Primary Containment that may not originate from a high-energy line break. The locations into which the primary system discharge is of concern correspond to the areas addressed in EOP-SA, Secondary Containment Control, Tables 9 and 10 (see below). In general, multiple indications should be used to determine if a primary system is discharging outside Primary Containment. For example, a high area radiation condition does not necessarily indicate that a primary system is discharging into the Secondary Containment since this may be caused by radiation shine from nearby steam lines or the movement of radioactive materials. Conversely, a high area radiation condition in conjunction with other indications (e.g., room flooding, high area temperatures, reports of steam in the Secondary Containment, an unexpected rise in feedwater flowrate, or unexpected main turbine control valve closure) may indicate that a primary system is discharging into the Secondary Containment. As indicated by NOTE 5 in EOP-SA, Table 10, RP surveys and ARM Teledosimetry System may be used for these indications. (continued on next page) PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 303 OF 342

A reading of 2.44E+6 Rem/hr corresponds to 100% core melt on RMA-RM-40A/B. A value of 4.88E+4 Rem/hr (rounded to 5.00E+04 Rem/hr) yields 20% fuel clad damage using this method (Reference 1). CNS Basis Reference(s):

1. EPIP 5.7.17.1, Dose Assessment (Manual).

NEI 99-01 Basis: 50,000 Rem/hr is a value which indicates significant fuel damage well in excess of that required for loss of RCS and Fuel Clad. A major release of radioactivity requiring off-site protective actions from core damage is not possible unless a major failure of fuel cladding allows radioactive material to be released from the core into the reactor coolant. Regardless of whether containment is challenged, this amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a Potential Loss of containment, such that a General Emergency declaration is warranted. NUREG-1228, Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents, indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is

Degradation of fission product barriers though is not always apparent via non-radiological symptoms. Therefore, direct indication of elevated radiological effluents or area radiation levels are appropriate symptoms for emergency classification. At lower levels, abnormal radioactivity releases may be indicative of a failure of Containment Systems or precursors to more significant releases. At higher release rates, off-site radiological conditions may result which require off-site protective actions. Elevated area radiation levels in plant may also be indicative of the failure of Containment Systems or preclude access to plant vital equipment necessary to ensure plant safety. Events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE] CATEGORY H - HAZARDS AND OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SAFETY EAL GROUP: ANY (EALS in this category are applicable to any plant condition) Hazards are non-plant, system-related events that can directly or indirectly affect plant operation, reactor plant safety, or personnel safety. The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

3. NATURAL OR DESTRUCTIVE PHENOMENA Natural events include earthquakes, tornados, high winds, and high/low river levels that have potential to cause plant structure or equipment damage of sufficient magnitude to threaten personnel or plant safety. Non-naturally occurring events that can cause damage to plant facilities and include vehicle crashes, missile impacts, internal flooding, etc.
2. FIRE OR EXPLOSION Fires can pose significant hazards to personnel and reactor safety.

Appropriate for classification are fires within the site Protected Area or which may affect operability of vital equipment.

3. HAZARDOUS GAS Non-naturally occurring events that can cause damage to plant facilities and include toxic, corrosive, asphyxiant, or flammable gas leaks.
4. SECURITY Unauthorized entry attempts into the Protected Area, bomb threats, sabotage attempts, and actual security compromises threatening loss of physical control of the plant.
5. CONTROL ROOM EVACUATION Events indicative of loss of Control Room habitability. If Control Room must be evacuated, additional support for monitoring and controlling plant functions is necessary through the Emergency Response Facilities.

6. JUDGMENT The EALs defined in other categories specify the pre-determined symptoms or events that are indicative of emergency or potential emergency conditions and thus, warrant classification. While these EALs have been developed to address the full spectrum of possible emergency conditions which may warrant classification and subsequent implementation of the Emergency Plan, a provision for classification of emergencies based on Operator/Management experience and judgment is still necessary. The EALs of this category provide the Emergency Director the latitude to classify emergency conditions consistent with the established classification criteria based upon Emergency Director judgment.

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE] CATEGORY E - ISFSI EAL GROUP: ANY (the EAL in this category is applicable to any plant condition) An Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is a complex that is designed and constructed for the Interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. A significant amount of the radioactive material contained within a cask must escape its packaging and enter the biosphere for there to be a significant environmental effect resulting from an accident involving the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel. Formal off-site planning is not required because the postulated worst-case accident involving an ISFSI has insignificant consequences to the public health and safety. An Unusual Event is declared on the basis of the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude that a loaded cask confinement boundary is damaged or violated. This includes classification based on a loaded fuel storage cask confinement boundary loss leading to the degradation of the fuel during storage or posing an operational safety problem with respect to its removal from storage. A security event that leads to a potential loss of level of safety of the ISFSI is a classifiable event under Security Category EAL HU4.1. Minor surface damage that does not affect storage cask boundary is excluded from the scope of these EALs. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 318 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE] CATEGORY S - SYSTEM MALFUNCTION EAL GROUP: MODES 1, 2, OR 3 Numerous system-related equipment failure events that warrant emergency classificatlon have been identified In this category. They may pose actual or potential threats to plant safety. The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

7. LOSS OF AC POWER Loss of emergency electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including Decay Heat Removal and Emergency Core Cooling Systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity.
8. ATWS/CRIDCALITY Events related to failure of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) to initiate and complete reactor scrams. In the plant licensing basis, postulated failures of the RPS to complete a reactor scram comprise a specific set of analyzed events referred to as Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) events.

For EAL classification, however, ATWS is Intended to mean any scram failure event that does not achieve reactor shutdown. If RPS actuation fails to assure reactor shutdown, positive control of reactivity is at risk and could cause a threat to Fuel Clad, RCS, and Containment integrity. Inadvertent criticallties pose potential personnel safety hazards as well being indicative of losses of reactivity control.

9. INABILITY TO REACH SHUTDOWN CONDITIONS One EAL falls into this subcategory. It is related to the failure of the plant to be brought to the required plant operating condition required by Technical Specifications If a limiting condition for operation (LCO) is not met.
10. INSTRUMENTATION Certain events that degrade plant Operator ability to effectively assess plant conditions within the plant warrant emergency classification. Loss of annunciators or indicators is In this subcategory.

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE]

11. FUEL CLAD DEGRADATION During normal operation, reactor coolant fission product activity is very low.

Small concentrations of fission products in the coolant are primarily from the fission of tramp uranium in the fuel clad or minor perforations in the clad itself. Any significant increase from these base-line levels (1 % clad failures) is indicative of fuel failures and is covered under the Fission Product Barrier Degradation category. However, lesser amounts of clad damage may result in coolant activity exceeding Technical Specification limits. These fission products will be circulated with the reactor coolant and can be detected by coolant sampling.

12. RCS LEAKAGE The Reactor Vessel provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The Reactor Vessel and associated pressure piping (Reactor Coolant System) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail.

Excessive RCS leakage greater than Technical Specification limits are utilized to indicate potential pipe cracks that may propagate to an extent threatening fuel clad, RCS, and containment integrity.

13. LOSS OF DC POWER Loss of vital critical DC electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including Decay Heat Removal and Emergency Core Cooling Systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier Integrity.

This category includes loss of vital 125 VDC power sources.

14. COMMUNICATIONS Certain events that degrade plant Operator abillty to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.

PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 320 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE] CATEGORY F - FISSION PRODUCT BARRIER DEGRADATION© 4 EAL GROUP: MODE 1, 2, OR 3 EALs in this category represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of highly radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment. The primary fission product barriers are: A. Fuel Clad (FC): The Fuel Clad barrier consists of the zircaloy fuel bundle tubes that contain the fuel pellets. B. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS barrier is the Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary and includes the reactor vessel and all Reactor Coolant System piping up to the isolation valves. C. Primary Containment (PC): The Primary Containment barrier includes the , drywell, the wetwell (torus), their respective interconnecting paths, and other connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. The EALs in this category require evaluation of the loss and potential loss thresholds listed in the fission product barrier matrix of Table F-1 (Attachment 3). "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials. "Potential Loss" means integrity of the barrier is threatened and could be lost if conditions continue to degrade. The number of barriers that are lost or potentially lost and the following criteria determine the appropriate emergency classification level:

  • Unusual Event: Any loss or any potential loss of Primary Containment.
  • Alert: Any loss or any potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS.
  • Site Area Emergency: Loss or potential loss of any two barriers.
  • General Emergency:. Loss of any two barriers and loss or potential loss of third barrier.

PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 321 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE] The logic used for emergency classification based on fission product barrier monitoring should reflect the following considerations:

  • The Fuel Clad barrier and the RCS barrier are weighted more heavily than the Primary Containment barrier. UE EALs associated with RCS and Fuel Clad barriers are addressed under System Malfunction EALs.
  • At the Site Area Emergency level, there must be some ability to dynamically assess how far present conditions are from the threshold for a General Emergency. For example, if Fuel Clad and RCS barrier "Loss" EALs existed, that, in addition to off-site dose assessments, would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and containment integrity. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS barrier "Potential Loss" EALs existed, the Emergency Director would have more assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.
  • The ability to escalate to higher emergency classes as an event deteriorates must be maintained. For example, RCS leakage steadily increasing would represent an Increasing risk to public health and safety.
  • The Primary Containment barrier should not be declared lost or potentially lost based on exceeding Technical Specification action statement criteria, unless there is an event in-progress requiring mitigation by the Primary Containment barrier. When no event is in-progress (Loss or Potential Loss of either Fuel Clad and/or RCS), the Primary Containment barrier status is addressed by Technical Specifications.

Determine which combination of the three barriers are lost or have a potential loss and use FUl.1, FAl.1, FSl.1, and FGl.1 to classify the event. Also, an event for multiple events could occur which result in the conclusion that exceeding the loss or potential loss thresholds is imminent. In this Imminent loss situation, use judgment and classify as If the thresholds are exceeded. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 322 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 5 EAL GROUPS, CATEGORIES, AND SUBCATEGORIES [INFORMATION USE] CATEGORY C - COLD SHUTDOWN/REFUELING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION EAL GROUP: MODES 4, 5, DEF Category C EALs are directly associated with cold shutdown or refueling system safety functions. Given the variability of plant configurations (e.g., systems out of service for maintenance, containment open, reduced AC power redundancy, time since shutdown) during these periods, the consequences of any given initiating event can vary greatly. For example, a loss of decay heat removal capability that occurs at the end of an extended outage has less significance than a similar loss occurring during the first week after shutdown. Compounding these events is the likelihood that Instrumentation necessary for assessment may also be inoperable. The cold shutdown and refueling system malfunction EALs are based on performance capability to the extent possible with consideration given to RCS integrity, Containment Closure, and fuel clad integrity for the applicable operating modes ( 4 - Cold Shutdown, 5 - Refueling, D - Defueled). THE EVENTS OF THIS CATEGORY PERTAIN TO THE FOLLOWING SUBCATEGORIES:

15. LOSS OF AC POWER Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including Decay Heat Removal and Emergency Core Cooling Systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity.

This category includes loss of on-site and off-site sources for 4160V emergency buses and loss of vital 125 VDC power sources.

16. RPV LEVEL RPV water level is a measure of inventory available to ensure adequate core cooling and, therefore, maintain fuel clad integrity. The RPV provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The RPV and associated pressure piping (Reactor Coolant System) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail.
17. RCS TEMPERATURE Uncontrolled or inadvertent temperature or pressure increases are indicative of a potential loss of safety functions.

ATTACHMENT 6 EAL DEFINmONS AND ACRONYMS [INFORMATION USE] ATTAD-IMENT 6 EAL DEFINmONS AND ACRONYMS [INFORMATION USE] DEFINITIONS Affecting Safe Shutdown Event in-progress has adversely affected functions that are necessary to bring the plant to and maintain it in the applicable hot or cold shutdown condition. Plant condition applicability is determined by Technical Specification LCOs in effect. Example 1: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in hot shutdown. Hot shutdown is achievable, but cold shutdown is not. This event is not "affecting safe shutdown". Example 2: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in cold shutdown. Hot shutdown is achievable, but cold shutdown is not. This event is "affecting safe shutdown". Alert Events are in-progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of hostile action. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels. Bomb Refers to an explosive device suspected of having sufficient force to damage plant systems or structures. Civil Disturbance A group of people violently protesting station operations or activities at the site. Confinement Boundary Is the barrier(s) between areas containing radioactive substances and the environment. Containment Closure Is the action taken to secure Primary or Secondary Containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under existing plant conditions. Containment Closure requirements are specified in Administrative Procedl!re 0.50.5, Outage Shutdown Safety. PROCEDURE 5. 7 .1 REVISION 67 PAGE 325 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 6 EAL DEFINffiONS AND ACRONYMS [INFORMATION USE] Emergency Action Level (EAL) A pre-determined, site specific, observable threshold for a plant IC that places the plant in a given emergency classification level. An EAL can be: an instrument reading; an equipment status indicator; a measurable parameter (on-site or off-site); a discrete, observable event; results of analyses; entry into specific emergency operating procedures; or another phenomenon which, if it occurs, indicates entry into a particular emergency classification level. Emergency Classification Level (ECL) One of a minimum set of names or titles established by the NRC for grouping off normal nuclear power plant conditions according to (1) their relative radiological seriousness, and (2) the time-sensitive on-site and off-site radiological emergency preparedness actions necessary to respond to such conditions. The existing radiological emergency classification levels, in ascending order of seriousness, are called:

  • Notification of Unusual Event (UE).
  • Alert.
  • Site Area Emergency (SAE).
  • General Emergency (GE).

Explosion A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized/energized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components. Extortion Is an attempt to cause an action at the station by threat of force. Fire Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed. Flooding Flooding, as used within the EALs, describes a condition where water is entering a room faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 326 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 6 EAL DEFINffiONS AND ACRONYMS [INFORMATION USE] General Emergency Events are in-progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or hostile action that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area. Hostage Person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure demands will be met by the station. Hostile Action An act toward CNS or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidates the Licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on CNS. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the Owner Controlled Area). Hostile Force One or more Individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction. Imminent Mitigation actions have been ineffective, additional actions are not expected to be successful, and trended information indicates the event or condition will occur. Where IMMINENT timeframes are specified, they shall apply. Initiating Condition (IC) One of a pre-determined subset of nuclear power plant conditions where either the potential exists for a radiological emergency or such an emergency has occurred. Inoperable Not able to perform its intended function. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 327 OF 342

Discovery of a bomb in a specified area is indication of intrusion into that area by a hostile force. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage. Normal Plant Operations Activities at the plant site associated with routine testing, maintenance, or equipment operations, in accordance with normal operating or administrative procedures. Entry into abnormal or emergency operating procedures, or deviation from normal security or radiological controls posture, is a departure from Normal Plant Operations. Operating Mode Applicability The plant mode existing at the start of an event under which a particular EAL is applicable. These modes are defined in Technical Specifications Table 1.1-1. The Defueled or DEF mode referred to in some EALs is the condition where all fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel. Note that the ISFSI EAL has no mode applicability. Projectile An object directed toward CNS that could cause concern for its continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety. Protected Area An area which normally encompasses all controlled areas within the security Protected Area fence. Sabotage Deliberate damage, mis-alignment, or mis-operation of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment inoperable. Equipment found tampered with or damaged due to malicious mischief may not meet the definition of sabotage until this determination is made by Security Supervision. PROCEDURE 5. 7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 328 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 6 EAL DEFINffiONS AND ACRONYMS [INFORMATION USE] Security Condition Any security event as listed in the approved security* contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A security condition does not involve a hostile action. Significant Transient An unplanned event involving any of the following:

  • Runback > 25% thermal power.

Any releases are not expected to result In exposure levels which exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary. Strike Action Work stoppage within the Protected Area by a body of workers to enforce compliance with demands made on CNS. The strike action must threaten to interrupt Normal Plant Operations. Sustained Wind Sustained winds are of a prolonged duration and, therefore, do not include gusts. Sustained winds are not Intermittent or of a transitory nature. Since the inauguration of the Automatic Surface Observation System (ASOS), the National Weather Service has adopted a 2 minute average standard for its sustained wind definition. Unisolable A breach or leak that cannot be promptly isolated. PROCEDURE 5.7.1 REVISION 67 PAGE 329 OF 342

ATTACHMENT 6 EAL DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS [INFORMATION USE] Unplanned A parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions. Unusual Event Events are in-progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Valid An indication, report, or condition is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the conditions existence, or the reports accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. Visible Damage Damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis. Damage Is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of affected safety structure, system, or component. Examples of damage includes: deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, paint blistering. Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included. Vital Area Any area, normally within the Protected Area, which contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT ,) INTRODUCTION This document is a revision to the Cooper Nuclear Station On-shrft Staffing Analysis (OSA) report dated July 20, 2015. This revision adds a clarifying not into the report identifying the process used for revising this document and Identifying it as part of the CNS Emergency Plan This revIsIon continues to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Section IV.A.9, which states that nuclear power licensees shall perform "a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timely performance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan." A structured approach was utilized to perform this analysis using the guidance found in NEI 10-05, Rev. 0, Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities. This analysis examined the capability of the minimum staff listed in Figure 5.2-1 of the Cooper Emergency Plan (E-Plan) to perform the actions for the key functional areas of events described In NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance - Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, until augmenting Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staff arrives In accordance with the E-Plan. NOTE: This report is considered part of the CNS Emergency Plan. Any changes made to this report must follow the guidance in CNS Administrative Procedure 0.29.1 "License Basis Document Changes". II. ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

The OSA team determined that an on-shift staff of fourteen (14) is required to respond to the most limiting accident scenario reviewed, main control room fire and shutdown at the remote shutdown panel. The on-shrft staff consists of individuals necessary to support each of the E-Plan functional areas or tasks*

  • Emergency Direction and Control
  • Plant Operations and Safe Shutdown (SSD)
  • Fire Fighting (FB)
  • Accident Assessment
  • Rad1at1on Protection and Chemistry
  • Notrf1cat1on/Commurncation
  • Technical Support
  • Access Control and Accountab1l1ty NEI 10-05 states It Is acceptable for certain functions or tasks to be assigned to personnel already assigned other functions/tasks These include Repair and Corrective Action, Rescue Operations and First Aid COOPER Page 4

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT A. Emergency Plan Minimum Staffing Per 10 CFR 50.54 (q)(1 )(111), Emergency planning function means a capability or resource necessary to prepare for and respond to a radiological emergency, as set forth in the elements of section IV of Appendix E and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, the planning standards of§ 50.47(b). The following table indicates the result of the NEI 10-05 staffing analysis of on-shift personnel to perform the required emergency planning functions and the licensing basis requirement for each on-shrft position On-Shift Licensing Basis Staffing Position E-Plan Functional Area Requirement Analysis Results 50.54m Emergency Direction and Shift Manager (SM) E-plan 5.1 1, 5 1.2, 1 Control Figure 5 2-1 50.54m Control Room Supervisor (CRS) E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1 .2, SSD 1 Figure 5.2-1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1.2, Shrft Technical Engineer (STE) Technical Support 1 Figure 5.2-1 50.54m Reactor Operator #1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1 2, SSD 1 Figure 5 2-1 50.54m Reactor Operator #2 E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1.2, SSD 1 Figure 5.2-1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1 .2, Reactor Operator #3 FBL 1 Figure 5.2-1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1.2, Figure SSD Station Operator #1 1 5 2-1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5 1 2, Figure Station Operator #2 FB 1 5.2-1 E-plan 5.1 1, 5.1 2, Figure Station Operator #3 FB 1 5.2-1 E-plan 5 1 1, 5.1 2, Figure Notif1cat1ons and Communicator1 1 5.2-1 Communications E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1.2, Figure Dose Assessor 1 Dose Assessment 1 5 2-1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5 1.2, Figure Chem1stry/Rad1ation Chemistry/RP Technician 1 5 2-1 Protection E-plan 5.1.1, 5 1 2, Figure Utility Worker Fire Brigade #1 FB 1 5.2-1 E-plan 5.1.1, 5.1 2, Figure Ut1l1ty Worker Fire Brigade #2 FB 1 5 2-1 Per Security Access Control and Security Secunty Contingency Plan Contingency Accountability Plan TOTAL 14 1 Filled by staff qualified per TPP-101, Training Program Procedure and the Emergency Plan COOPER Page 6

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT B. Other Commitments to Shift Staffing None. C. Staffing Exceptions and Time Motion Studies (TMS) 1 The primary responsibility for the Chemistry Technician is chemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry job tasks were noted as being time critical or required during the first 60 minutes of any of the analyzed events. It is therefore acceptable to assign the Chemistry Technician the E-Plan function of dose assessment. No further analysis or TMS is required.

2. The Shift Manager 1s assigned the responsibility to make some event notifications such as the Duty Plant Manager, and Operations Manager. These notifications by phone are considered communications that are approximately one minute in length and are tasks for the Shift Manager.

No further analysis or TMS is required.

3. The analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement to maintain continuous communications with the notification source during an aircraft threat in accordance with 10CFR50 54(hh) and Reg. Guide 1 214. There are no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function 1s not required to be assigned in advance. The review of the Aircraft Threat Accident identrf1ed that there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action during the event. Specifically, a licensed or non-licensed nuclear plant operator and a chemistry technician were all available to fill this function. No further analysis or TMS is required.

4 A Time Motion Study was completed to determine if the Shift Manager performance of ERO notif1cat1on would impact the capability to maintain emergency direction and control as Emergency Director. The TMS demonstrated that the Shift Manager was able to maintain oversight for emergency direction and control during the approximate 90 seconds that 1t took to activate the ERO using Dialog1cs ERO notification was evaluated as being an acceptable task for the Shift Manager. Details of the TMS are found in section VIII Appendix C COOPER Page 7

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT D. Emergency Plan Tasks Not Analyzed

1. Repair and Corrective Action -. Repair and corrective action is defined as.
  • An action that can be performed promptly to restore a non-functional component to functional status (e g., resetting a breaker), or to place a component in a desired configuration (e.g.,

open a valve), and which does not require work planning or implementation of lockout/tagout controls to complete. In accordance with NE! 10-05 section 2.5, the analysis included a review of the repair and corrective action tasks. For the purpose of this analysis, the tasks were considered to fall into two broad categories:

  • Unplanned/unexpected actions that address equipment failures. These actions are contingent in nature and cannot be specified in advance
  • Planned/expected actions performed in support of operating procedure implementation, including severe accident management guidelines At CNS, Station Operators on shift will pnmarily be available to the Shift Manager to perform actions to assist in controlling/m1t1gating the event. Initial corrective actions are contained in and controlled by plant operating procedures The Station Operators have been trained to perform specrf1c actions within the Abnormal and Emergency Operating Procedures and maintenance support Is not required. Maintenance Is not included in the on-shrft staff. Repair and Corrective Action Is an acceptable collateral duty per the guidance of NEI 10-05 and was not analyzed
2. Rescue Operations and First Aid. In accordance with NEI 10-05 section 2.6, the analysis also included a review of rescue operations and first aid response. Rescue operations and first aid may be performed by shrft personnel assigned other functions At CNS 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 rf necessary, rescue them. Rescue operations and first aid response are acceptable collateral duties per the guidance of NEI 10-05 and was not analyzed Ill. ANALYSIS PROCESS The initial staffing analysis (Revision 0) was conducted by a Joint team of corporate Emergency Preparedness (EP) personnel and station personnel from the Operations, Training, Security, Chemistry and Emergency Preparedness (EP) departments. The team members are identified in Section XII of this report The emergency response to each event scenario was determined by conducting a tabletop of the event using the emergency plan and procedures and the applicable department procedures such as Operations emergency and abnormal operating procedures.

Each scenario was reviewed by the cross disc1pl1nary team to determine what plant actions and emergency plan implementation actions were required based on plant procedures prior to staff augmentation. These actions were then compared to the minimum staffing for Emergency Plan 1mplementat1on as described in the Emergency Plan Section 5 1 and Figure 5 2.1, ensuring that no actions were assigned to staff members that conflicted with either their dedicated emergency plan role or their dedicated operational role as appropriate. In cases where multiple __j tasks were assigned to an 1nd1v1dual In their role, the team evaluated tImIng of the tasks to ensure that they could be performed by the 1nd1v1dual in series within any spec1f1ed time requirements. COOPER Page 8

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT The results of the analysis for each _of the scenarios are included in Section VIII, APPENDIX B- ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS. Note that NSIR DPR-ISG--01 states that only OBA accidents "which would result in an emergency declaration" should be evaluated in the staffing assessment. Each of CNS DBA's were evaluated and classified according to ,ts FSAR Chapter XIV description. If the accident description alone did not result in a classification, the projected accident exclusion area boundary (EAB) dose found in the FSAR was utilized to determine if an EAL threshold would be exceeded within the first 60 minutes using the Abnormal Rad Level EAL thresholds. In cases where several projected dose rates were provided or release data was not detailed significantly to determine an EAL, the assessment used the radiological consequences associated with the realistic case in accordance with NEI 10-05.

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT IV. ACCIDENT SCENARIOS A Accident Selection

1. The OSA scenarios were chosen using the guidance of NEI 10-05 and NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance - Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants." The evaluation considered the station Design Basis Accidents (OBA) described m the FSAR along with additional scenarios specified by the guidance documents. The scenarios considered were.
  • Design Basis Threat (DBT) ground assault
  • OBA Control Rod Drop Accident
  • OBA Loss of Coolant Accident
  • Accidents That Result in Direct Release to Secondary Containment
  • OBA Fuel Handling Accident
  • OBA Main Steam Line Break Accident
  • Aircraft Probable Threat
  • Fire Requ1ring Evacuation of the Control Room and Plant Shutdown From Alternate Location
  • Station Blackout, (SBO)
  • LOCNGeneral Emergency with release and PAR
  • LOCA with entry into Severe Accident Management
  • Fire Resulting in Reactor Trip (NFPA 805 fire)

B. Accident Scenarios included m the Analysis

1. Design Basis Threat (DBT) as described in NEI 10-05
  • Land and/or waterborne Hostile Action directed against the Protected Area by a Hostile Force This event assumes the threat is neutralized 1mmed1ately when inside the protected area fence, no s1gnrf1cant damage to equipment or systems that require corrective actions before the ERO is staffed, no radiological release, and no fire that requires f1ref1ghting response before the ERO Is staffed EAL is based on the event.

2 Control Rod Drop Accident as described m FSAR XIV-6 Section 6.2

  • One control rod drops and reactor trips on APRM 120% flux scram Credit is not taken for MSIV closure. Release pathway Is through condenser, turbine building, then to environment. EAL is based on condenser release EAB dose information m FSAR.
3. Loss of Coolant Accident as described m FSAR XIV-6 Section 6.3
  • Double ended guillotine break of a rec1rculat1on line. All ECCS operate as designed. EAL Is based on fission product barrier EALs.

4 Fuel Handling Accident as described In FSAR XIV-6 Section 6 4

  • The accident involves a dropped fuel bundle on top of the core. Initial EAL Is based on event COOPER Page 10

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT 5 Main Steam Line Break Accident as described In FSAR XIV-6 Section 6.5

           )
  • Break of one main steam line and followed by MSIV closure. Release Is to the atmosphere through the top of the turbine building (puff release). Reactor coolant activity at TS limit.

No EAL on the accident but on the USAR EAB 2-hr dose.

6. Aircraft Probable Threat (50.54hh)
  • Notrf1cat1on is received from the NRC that a probable aircraft threat exists (>5 minutes,
                                 <30 minutes). EAL is based on the event.
7. Control Room Fire and Remote Shutdown.
  • A fire occurs in the main control room requiring the evacuation and the procedure implemented to perform shutdown from the alternate shutdown panels. EAL is based on the event.
8. Station Blackout.
  • A loss of all offsite AC power occurs and the failure of the emergency diesel generators.

EAL is based on the event.

9. General Emergency with release and PAR
  • Assume GE condition with dose projection 1nd1cat1on of a release greater than the protective action guideline (PAG)

C Accident Scenarios not included in the Analysis

1. Accidents That Result in Direct Release to Secondary Containment
  • FSAR includes 2 varieties of accidents: (1) Failures of the reactor coolant pressure boundary inside Secondary Containment and (2) failure involving fuel that is located outside the Primary Containment but inside the Secondary Containment. These accidents are not described since they are less severe than similar accidents in other categories No Analysis is required.

2 Implement SAMG

  • NEI 10-05 Section 2.11 states that the analysis of the ability to implement SAMG focuses on the reasonably expected initial mitigation action that would be performed by on-shift personnel other than licensed and non-licensed operators. A review of the SAMGs associated with the initial site-spec1f1c Candidate High Level Actions concluded that no actions would require on-shrft personnel other than licensed and non-licensed operators.

No analysis required. 3 NFPA 805 Fire

  • Fire leading to reactor trip with complications. The control room fire and alternate shutdown requires more resources and actions outside the control room than this fire. The team concluded the control room fire bounds the fire analysis. No add1t1onal analysis required.

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS A. Notes and Assumptions applicable to Cooper OSA: 1 The RP and Chemistry tasks reviewed were those directed by the Shift Manager to support actions in Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOP), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP), and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIP). Any additional tasks directed by the Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) procedures were not reviewed.

2. The OSA team determined RP/Chem Tech tasks performance is directed and prioritized by the Shrft Manager The time the RP/Chem Tech is directed to perform a task and the amount of time taken to complete tasks are estimated. No Chemistry samples are required by Tech Specs within the 60 minute penod after the declaration. Since the Shift Manager directs when the tasks are performed, there are no overlapping RP or chemistry tasks.
3. All crews have one individual filling the SM and one 1nd1v1dual filling the STE roles therefore the analysis did not consider using a dual-role individual
4. While the augmentation time used for this analysis was based on the time 1dentrf1ed in the station's emergency plan (60 minutes), no additional tasks requiring the augmented ERO were noted as being required of the on-shift ERO for the first 90 minutes following the emergency declaration B NEI 10-05 Rev 0 Assumptions
1. Response time used for this analysis was the maximum acceptable number of minutes elapsed between emergency declaration and the augmented ERO position holder at a location necessary to relieve an on-shift position of the emergency response task. (60 min.).

2 On-shrft personnel complement was l1m1ted to the minimum required number and composItIon as described in the site emergency plan. If the plan commitments allow for different minimum staffing levels (e g., a variance between a normal dayshift and a backshrft), use the staffing with the smallest number of personnel. 3 Although the temporary absence of a posItIon may be allowed by Tech Specs, the analysis was performed assuming that all required on-shrft positions are filled.

4. Event occurred during off-normal work hours where ERO was offsite and all required minimum on-shrft posItIons were filled.
5. On-shrft personnel reported to their assigned response locations within timeframes sufficient to allow for performance of assigned actions
6. On-shrft staff had necessary Rad1at1on Worker qualif1cat1on to obtain normal dosimetry and enter the rad1olog1cal control area (RCA) (but not locked high or very high radiation areas) without the aid of a RP technician COOPER Page 12

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT ~ 7. Personnel assigned plant operations and safe shutdown meet the requirements and guidance (analyzed through other programs such as operator training) and was evaluated as part of this assessment unless a role/function/task from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.

8. In-plant (manual) safety related operator actions to manipulate components and equipment from locations outside the control room to achieve and maintain safe shutdown was done by a member of the on-shrft staff as defined in the unit's Tech Specs.
9. Fire brigade (FB) staff performance is analyzed through other station programs (e.g., fire drills) and was not evaluated as part of this assessment unless a role/function/task from another maJor response area was assigned as a collateral duty.
10. Individuals holding the position of RP techn1c1an or Chemistry technician are qualrfied to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
11. Security was not evaluated unless a role or function from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.
12. Communications, briefings, and peer checks are acceptable collateral duties 13 All on-shift staff positions were evaluated, even if they had no known collateral duties, to ensure they can perform the tasks assigned to them. [Ref NSIR/DPR-ISG-01]

14 . The Staffing Analysis specified the resources available to perform "Repair and Corrective .~) Actions" and "Rescue Operations and First Aid" but these may be assigned as collateral duty to a designated on-shrft responder

15. For assessment purposes, NRC notifications were treated as a continuous action per 10CFR50.72(c)(3) and 73.71(b)(1). This means once the 1nit1al NRC communications are established, the NRC will request an open line be maintained with the NRC Operations Center.

16 OBA (postulated accident, Condition IV event, or limiting fault) Is considered as "Unanticipated occurrences that are postulated for accident analysis purposes but not expected to occur during the lrfe of the plant. A postulated accident could result in sufficient damage to preclude resumption of plant operation. As a result, a greater number and variety of actions would need to be implemented by plant personnel." 17 Unless otherwise specrf1ed in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance - Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, or by the FSAR initial cond1t1ons of a OBA analysis, 1t was assumed that the unit was In Mode 1, Power

18. DBT assumed a hostile force breached the protected area fence but was neutralized with no adverse consequences to plant safety Damage inflicted on plant systems, structures and components was not sufficient to prevent safe shutdown or cause a radiological release. There was no fire s1gnrf1cant enough to warrant f1ref1ghting efforts prior to amval of offsIte resources and/or the augmented ERO 19 The Staffing Analysis used OBA analysis assumptions, inputs, timing of events, plant protective response, and specrfied manual operator actions and their tImIng, as documented In the FSAR.

COOPER Page 13

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT ~I 20. In cases where a OBA analysis included a radiological release, and the starting point of the release was not clearly defined, the staffing analysis assumed that the release began 15-minutes after the initiating event.

21. Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) - It is suff1c1ent to simply assume that the accident progressed to conditions requiring a severe accident response; it is not necessary to determine specific failures and the accident sequence.
22. SAMG - The actions analyzed included those that implement the initial site-specrfic actions assuming the core is not ex-vessel (i.e., no reactor vessel failure), and there is no actual or imminent challenge to containment integrity.

These accidents are not described in the FSAR since they are less severe than similar accidents in other categories. Analysis is not required. 3 CNS does not meet the NEI 10-05 intent for the analysis of implementing SAMG. NEI 10-05 Section 2.11 states that the analysis of the ability to implement SAMG focuses on the reasonably expected initial mitigation action that would be performed by on-shift personnel other than licensed and non-licensed operators. The actions assessed by NEI 10-05 are those which implement the initial site-specific Candidate High Level Action assuming the core is not ex-vessel (1 e., no reactor vessel failure), and there is no actual or imminent challenge to containment integrity. CNS does not include maintenance qualified to perform maintenance job tasks in minimum staffing and any response actions would be performed by operators. 4 NFPA 805 Fire Is bound by the Control Room Fire and Alternate Shutdown.

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT B. Design Basis Accident Analysis #2 - Control Rod Drop Accident

1. Accident Summary
  • The control rod drop accident (CRDA) results from an assumed failure of the control rod-to-drive mechanism couphng after the control rod (very reactive rod) becomes stuck in its fully inserted position It Is assumed that the control rod dnve Is then fully withdrawn before the stuck rod falls out of the core. The control rod velocity l1m1ter, an engineered safeguard, limits the control rod drop veloCJty The resultant radioactive material release is maintained far below the guideline values of 10CFR50 67
  • Loss of offsite power coincidental with CRDA.
  • Radionuclides are released from damaged fuel rods to the main condenser Single release path Is modeled from the leakage of main condenser at 1% volume per day to the turbine building. Activity is distributed throughout the turbine building and passes directly to the environment (with no mIxmg or holdup in the TB volume) as a diffuse ground level release
2. Accident Specific Assumptions Made
  • EAL is based on FSAR EAB dose 1nformat1on.

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT D. Design Basis Accident Analysis #5 - Fuel Handling Accident.

1. Accident Summary
  • The fuel handling accident is assumed to occur as a consequence of a failure of the fuel assembly hfting mechanism, resulting In the dropping of a raised fuel assembly onto the core. The drop causes mechanical damage to the bundle being dropped.
  • The drywell and reactor building are open with ventilation running. All releases to the environment are through the reactor building vent1lat1on.
  • The drop of a fuel bundle in containment over the reactor pressure vessel bounds a drop of a fuel bundle in the reactor bu1ld1ng due to the greater drop height.
  • Smee Secondary Containment Is not assumed to be functioning, the discharge is a ground level, unfiltered release from the ventilation exhaust plenum to the discharge point on the Reactor Building roof. This release point was determined to provide the most limiting dose consequences over other Reactor Building hatches, doors, and airlocks
2. Accident Specific Assumptions Made
  • Onsite personnel will be in accordance with the refuel outage staffing plan that includes additional SROs, ROs, NPOs, RP Techs, and Maintenance.

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT E. Design Basis Accident Analysis #6 - Main Steam Line Break.

1. Accident Summary
  • This event involves the postulation of a large steam line pipe break outside containment downstream of the outermost isolation valve with a simultaneous loss of offs1te power. No fuel damage is calculated to result but the EAB dose assumes coolant 1-131 TS limit of
5 4 µCi/gm MS IVs isolate resulting In a steam cloud (puff) to environment within seconds.
2. Accident Specrfic Assumptions Made
  • Emergency Classrf1cat1on Is not required based on the break of the main steam line. This analysis is based on the FSAR MSLB accident dose. Assume the turbine building vent reaches the Alert level for~ 15 minutes (EAL AA 1 1)
3. Procedures for Accident Response
  • 5.3BREAK, Pipe Break Outside Pnmary Containment
  • 5 1 RAD, Building Rad1at1on Trouble
  • 5. 7.1, Emergency Classification
  • 5.7.2, Emergency Director EPIP
  • 5 7 6, Notrf1cat1ons
  • 5 7 16, Release Rate Determination
  • 5.7.17, Dose Assessment
  • 5.7.19, On-site Rad1olog1cal Monitoring

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT G. Design Basis Accident Analysis #8 - Control Room Evacuation and Shutdown

1. Accident Summary
  • Fire in the Main Control that requires control room evacuation.
  • If the nuclear system becomes Isolated from the main condenser, decay heat Is transferred from the reactor to the suppression pool via the relief valves. The incident detecbon circuitry initiates operation of the RCIC and HPCI systems on low water level which maintains reactor vessel water level, and the RHR suppression pool cooling mode Is used to remove the decay heat from the suppression pool if required. When reactor pressure fails below 100 pslg level, the RHR shutdown cooling mode is started.
2. Accident Specrf1c Assumptions Made
  • The ATC operator will perform the immediate actions of the procedure to initiate a manual scram and verify all rods in before evacuating the control room.
  • Subsequent actions are performed form outside the control room.
3. Procedures for Accident Response
  • 5.1 INCIDENT, Srte Emergency Incident
  • 5.4FIRE-S/D, Fire Induced Shutdown from Outside Control Room

COOPER ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYIS REPORT Explain why it Is acceptable or not acceptable for the Shift Manager to perfonn the task of notifying the ERO: The process of activating the ERO takes 48 seconds to perform the actions required followed by 41 seconds of carrying the pager to verify that it activated. Activating the ERO is covered by 2.1-2 to initiate any emergency actions. Per the Shift Manager, more time would be expended directing someone to activate the ERO with code 222 than it would to just do 1t. This task 1s very short 1n duration and the shrft manager is able to stay apprised of plant cond1t1ons while doing 1t. The Shrft Manager used proper place-keeping techniques while performing this task. NAME POSITION DATE Task Performer Assistant Operations Ron Shaw Nov. 3, 2012 Manager
