I 7OERPO1-ZV-INO1 IRev. 6 1 Page2of 104 Emergency Classification
1.0 Purpose and Scope
1.1 This procedure provides guidance to the Emergency Director for determination of the appropriate Emergency Classification.
1.2 This procedure implements the requirements of the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS) Emergency Plan specific to Emergency Classification.
2.0 Definitions 2.1 Affecting Safe Shutdown: An 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.
2.2 Alert
Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Any radioactive releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) exposure levels.
2.3 Emergency Action Level (EAL): A pre-determined, site specific, observable threshold for a plant Initiating Condition that is used to place the plant in a given emergency class.
[EALs can be in the form of: instrument readings, measurable parameters (on or off site), a discrete observable event, equipment status, certain natural phenomena or via Emergency Operating Procedure guidance.]
2.4 Emergency Classification: One of a set of four titles established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal nuclear power plant conditions according to:
(1) their relative radiological consequences; and (2) the time sensitive onsite and offsite radiological emergency preparedness actions necessary to respond to such conditions. The existing radiological emergency classifications in ascending order of seriousness are Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.
2.5 EPA PAG: Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guidelines for exposure to a release of radioactive material.
2.6 Exclusion Area Boundary: The boundary of the Exclusion Area, as shown in Addendum 3.
The Exclusion Area is oval shaped such that any point on the Exclusion Area Boundary is at least 1430 meters from the center of either containment building. The licensee has control over all activities within the Exclusion Area.
2.7 Facility
The area and buildings within the Protected Area and the switchyard.
I OERPO1-ZV-INO1 IRev. 6 l Page 3of 104 Emergency Classification 2.8 Fission Product Barrier: The three boundaries for preventing the release of fission products to the environment. They are:
- Reactor Containment Building
2.9 Functional
A component is fully capable of meeting its design function. It would be declared inoperable if unable to meet Technical Specifications.
2.10 General Emergency (GE): Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Radioactive releases can reasonably be expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines exposure levels offsite beyond the exclusion area boundary.
2.11 Hatch Monitor: Temporary monitor installed when Containment Monitors RT-8050 and RT-805 1 are out of service. A correction factor has been calculated to relate Hatch Monitor dose rate to the dose rate inside Containment. (CR 01-3566) 2.12 Imminent: Mitigation actions have been ineffective and trended information indicates that the event or condition will occur within 1 or 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
2.13 Initiating Condition: One of a predetermined subset of nuclear power plant conditions where either the potential exists for a radiological emergency, or such an emergency has occurred.
2.14 Inoperable: A component does not meet Technical Specifications. The component may be functional, capable of meeting its design function.
2.15 Loss: A component is inoperable and not functional.
2.16 Potential Loss: Mitigation actions are not effective and trended information indicates that the parameters are outside desirable bands and not stable or improving.
2.17 Protected Area: That area inside the physical security boundary of the site that includes the nuclear reactor plant.
2.18 Radiological Release: Any radiological release from the plant that exceeds the EAL limits established for an Unusual Event.
2.19 Recovery: That phase of an emergency when the emergency condition no longer exists and the plant is in a stable, shutdown, and safe condition; major repairs, if required, have been identified in order to return the plant to operation; and the potential for uncontrolled releases of radioactive material to the environment no longer exists.
I OERPOI-ZV-INO1 IRev. 6 l Page 4of 104 l Emergency Classification 2.20 Security Alert: A security related situation that requires an increased level of readiness on the part of the Security Force.
2.21 Security Emergency: A security related emergency situation for which prompt response by the Security Force, immediate action by plant personnel, and/or assistance from offsite agencies may be required to apprehend intruders and mitigate the effects of or prevent radiological sabotage.
2.22 Site Boundary: The edge of the plant property whose access may be controlled by the licensee. This boundary is congruent with the Exclusion Area Boundary for the purpose of dose assessment.
2.23 Site Area Emergency (SAE): Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any radioactive releases are not expected to result in exposure levels that exceed EPA Protective Action Guidelines exposure levels outside the Exclusion Area Boundary.
2.24 Steam Generator Tube Rupture: A Steam Generator tube leak greater than the capacity of the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) to maintain pressurizer level.
2.25 Transient: A planned reactor trip in which the expected post-trip response did not occur.
2.26 Termination: Exiting the emergency condition.
2.27 Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE): Total committed dose from internally deposited radionuclide over subsequent 50 year period to the Thyroid.
2.28 Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE): The sum of external dose exposure to radioactive plume, to radionuclides deposited on the ground by the plume, and the internal exposure due to inhaled radionuclides deposited in the body.
2.29 Unusual Event: Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
2.30 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 condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.
2.31 Vital Area: Locations within the Protected Area as defined by security procedures which contain equipment that directly affect the safety of the plant.
OERP01-ZV-IN01 I Rev. 6 1 Page5of 104 Emergency Classification 3.0 Precautions and Limitations 3.1 The Emergency Director is the only individual who can declare an emergency or change an Emergency Classification. The normal progression for Emergency Director is:
3.1.1 Shift Supervisor to 3.1.2 TSC Manager to 3.1.3 EOF Director 4.0 Responsibilities 4.1 The Emergency Director is responsible for declaring or changing an Emergency Classification based on the EALs contained in Addendum 1, Emergency Classification Tables.
4.2 Emergency Response personnel are responsible for alerting the Emergency Director of conditions which may change the emergency classification.
5.0 Procedure NOTE Addendum 1, Emergency Classification Tables, may be removed from the basic procedure for use in classifying emergencies.
5.1 Upon recognition of the potential for an event or plant condition to represent an emergency OR as directed from other procedures, refer to Addendum 1, Emergency Classification Tables.
5.2 Anytime Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) or Off-Normal Procedures are initiated, this procedure should be reviewed to determine if an emergency action level has been reached.
5.3 IF the event or condition meets EALs applicable to more than one Emergency Classification, THEN declare the highest Emergency Classification and implement the appropriate procedure.
I OERPOI-ZV-INO1 IRev. 6 l Page6of 104 Emergency Classification 5.4 Based on the judgement of the Emergency Director, an emergency can be declared at any level even if it is not specifically covered in Addendum 1.
5.5 Any person recognizing an emergency or potential emergency condition should notify the Emergency Director and/or Shift Supervisor.
5.6 Declaration of an emergency class is not required if:
5.6.1 The event or condition which met an EAL threshold no longer exists at the time of discovery.
AND 5.6.2 The event or condition was due to a rapidly concluded event or an oversight in the emergency classification.
5.6.3 Reporting requirements of 10CFR50.72 are applicable and the guidance of NUREG-1022 should be applied.
5.7 The classification of an emergency may be downgraded by the Emergency Director if appropriate for the conditions.
5.8 Use the following criteria/guidance to determine entry into Recovery or Termination:
5.8.1 Recovery
- A Site Area or General Emergency has been declared;
- the emergency condition no longer exists and the plant is in a stable, shutdown, and safe condition;
- major repairs, if required, have been identified in order to return the plant to operation;
- the potential for uncontrolled release of radioactive material to the environment no longer exists; and
- concurrence from the NRC, State, and County has been obtained.
5.8.2 Termination
One of the following applicable conditions exists 5.8.2.1 From Recovery
- Repairs identified during the recovery phase are complete and the plant is ready to return to normal operations.
5.8.2.2 From Alert or Unusual Event
- The emergency condition no longer exists and the plant is ready to return to normal operations; or
- The emergency condition no longer exists, repair activities are minor, and the plant is in a stable shutdown mode.

Addendum 1 Bases for Emergency Action Levels Page 3 of 71 FUEL CLAD BARRIER EAL-1, Critical Safety Function (CSF) Status Potential Loss Core Cooling - ORANGE indicates subcooling has been lost and that some clad damage may occur. Heat Sink-RED indicates the heat sink function is under extreme challenge and thus a potential loss of the fuel clad barrier. A declaration should not be made if Heat Sink -RED is the result of operator control of auxiliary feedwater flow.
Loss Core Cooling - RED indicates significant superheating and core uncovery and is considered to indicate loss of the fuel-clad barrier.
EAL-2, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Activity Potential Loss A Failed Fuel Monitor reading of 870 microcuries/ml or greater indicates possible clad failure of about 1%.
Loss A coolant activity level of 300 microcuries/gm. Dose Equivalent 1-131 is well above that for iodine spikes and indicates significant clad heating and a loss of the fuel clad barrier.

CONTINUED EAL-3, Core Exit Thermocouple Potential Loss Core Exit Thermocouple readings of between 2 708'F and 1200'F would indicate a loss of subcooling with the potential for fuel clad damage. This reading is redundant with the value needed to achieve Critical Safety Function Core Cooling - Orange.
Loss Core Exit Thermocouple readings of 1200'F or higher corresponds to significant superheating of the coolant. This is redundant with the value needed to achieve Critical Safety Function Core Cooling - Red and should be considered an indicator of loss of fuel clad barrier.
EAL-4, Reactor Vessel Water Level Potential Loss A Reactor Vessel Water Level plenum reading of less than 20% corresponds to the Critical Safety Function Core Cooling - Orange and is indicative that without corrective actions the top of the active core could become uncovered leading to a core melt sequence.
Loss None EAL-5, Reactor Containment Building (RCB) Radiation Monitors Potential Loss None Loss A reading of greater than 100 R/hr on the RCB Accident Monitors or 222 mR/hr on the Hatch Monitor indicates release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage. This value assumes the instantaneous release and dispersal into the containment of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with 2% gap activity. This value is the same as that in RCS Barrier Loss EAL-5, and this EAL indicates a loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers.

Loss A YELLOW path with subcooling less than 0 0 F in Core Cooling indicates that subcooling has been lost because of inadequate makeup capability.
EAL-2, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Leak Rate Potential Loss Normal RCS make up capacity of one centrifugal charging pump (CCP) is unable to maintain RCS liquid inventory. The capacity of one CCP is 240 gpm which is the approximate design flow of a CCP with the RCS at 2235 psig and is the maximum charging flow identified in OPOPOI-ZA-0018, Emergency Operating Procedure User's Guide. Any event that results in significant RCS inventory shrinkage will result in no lower than an ALERT emergency classification.
Loss Conditions are such that leakage from the RCS is greater than the available inventory control capacity such that a loss of subcooling has occurred. The loss of subcooling is the fundamental indication that the inventory control systems are inadequate.

The capacity of one CCP is 240 gpm which is the approximate design flow of a CCP with the RCS at 2235 psig and is the maximum charging flow identified in OPOPOI-ZA-0018. Any event that results in significant RCS inventory shrinkage will result in no lower than an ALERT emergency classification.
Loss This EAL indicates that there is a direct release of radioactive fission and activation products to the environment. This EAL also means Containment Loss EAL-3 is exceeded.
EAL-5, Reactor Containment Building (RCB) Radiation Monitors Potential Loss None Loss A reading of greater than 100 R/hr on the RCB Accident Monitors Monitors or 222 mR/hr on the Hatch Monitor indicates release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage. This value assumes the instantaneous release and dispersal into the containment of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with 2% gap activity. This value is the same as that in Fuel Clad Barrier Loss EAL-5, and this EAL indicates a loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers.

A Core Cooling ORANGE path represents an imminent melt situation which could lead to vessel failure and an increased potential for containment failure. In conjunction with the Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier EALs, this EAL results in the declaration of a General Emergency. Fifteen (15) minutes is chosen to provide a reasonable period to allow function restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence. This EAL should be entered as soon as it is recognized that the function restoration procedures have not been, or will not be, effective.
Loss None EAL-2, Containment Pressure Potential Loss Six percent (6%) hydrogen is the minimum explosive mixture in the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines and represents a potential loss of containment barrier. The second EAL means that containment heat removal systems are not functioning properly when they are needed.
Loss A rapid unexplained loss of pressure, not attributable to containment spray or condensation effects, following an initial pressure increase indicates a loss of containment integrity. If containment pressure and sump levels do not increase as expected following a LOCA, then a loss of containment integrity is also indicated.

CONTINUED EAL-3, Steam Generator (SG) Tube Leak Potential Loss None Loss Greater than Technical Specification primary to secondary leakage with a pathway to the environment outside normal plant design or operations.
The release to the environment must be due to the failure to isolate an abnormal pathway (e.g.,
nonisolable stuck open Safety, PORV, or steam line break outside containment).
Examples of pathways to atmosphere that are NOT considered a direct secondary side release path to atmosphere when evaluating plant conditions for the applicability of this EAL:
- Normal operation of the PORV to decrease Steam Generator pressure or control plant temperature.
- Pathways that result from the plant operational design such as the Condenser Air Removal System discharge.
- Pathways that are incidental to normal operation of the plant such as minor leakage from degraded secondary system components.
EAL-4, Containment Bypass Potential Loss An increase in area or ventilation radiation monitor readings located in areas adjacent to containment with a LOCA in progress could be due to penetration leakage. Other causes for increases could be interfacing system LOCAs involving systems (e.g. HHSI, LHSI) located in these areas, and leakage from systems recirculating containment sump water. All of these conditions are associated with a known LOCA and are indicative of a potential loss of the containment barrier.
Unexplained increases in monitor readings without a LOCA should be classified in accordance with the Radiological section. Adjacent areas are those spaces immediately outside the containment boundary that are monitored by area or ventilation radiation monitors.

EAL-5, Reactor Containment Building (RCB) Radiation Monitors Potential Loss This EAL indicates significant fuel damage, equivalent to 20% gap activity, in excess of Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier EALs. Regardless of whether containment is challenged, the amount of activity associated with fuel damage of this magnitude, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is treated as a potential loss of containment, which would lead to a classification of General Emergency.

- a. Loss of power to the STBY 1 XFMR, STBY 2 XFMR, UAT, and 13.8 KV Emergency bus 1(2)L for greater than 15 minutes.
AND

Prolonged loss of offsite AC power reduces required redundancy and potentially degrades the level of safety of the plant by rendering the plant more vulnerable to a complete Loss of AC Power (Station Blackout). Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.

EAL-1 The plant cannot be brought to the required operating mode within Technical Specifications LCO Action Statement Time.
BASES:
Limiting Conditions of Operation (LCOs) often require the plant to be brought to a required shutdown mode when the Technical Specification required configuration cannot be restored. Depending on the circumstances, this may or may not be an emergency or precursor to a more severe condition. In any case, the initiation of plant shutdown required by the site Technical Specifications requires a one-hour report under 10CFR50.72(b) non-emergency events. The plant is within its safety envelope when being shutdown within the allowable action statement time in the Technical Specifications. An immediate declaration of an Unusual Event is required when the plant cannot be brought to the required operating mode within the allowable action statement time in the Technical Specifications, as the plant is outside its safety envelope. Declaration of an Unusual Event is based on the time at which the LCO-specified action statement time period elapses under Technical Specifications and is not related to how long a condition may have existed. Other required Technical Specification shutdowns that involve precursors to more serious events are addressed by other System Malfunction, Hazards, or Fission Product Barrier Degradation ICs.

EAL-1 The following conditions exist:
- a. Loss of most (>50%) of Control Room Safety System annunciators or indicators for greater than 15 minutes.
AND
- b. Compensatory indications are available and can be adequately monitored with on-shift personnel.
AND
- c. The Shift Supervisor determines that the loss of the annunciators or indicators requires increased surveillance of compensatory indications (e.g. Control Board Indicators, Local Indicators, QDPS, ICS, ERFDADS) to safely operate the unit.
AND
- d. Annunciator or indicator loss is not the result of planned action.
BASES:
This IC and its associated EAL is intended to recognize the difficulty associated with monitoring changing plant conditions without the use of a major portion of the annunciation or indication equipment.
Unplanned loss of annunciators or indicator excludes scheduled maintenance and testing activities.
OERPO1-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 lPage 45 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 Bases for Emergency Action Levels Page 13 of 71 SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS Compensatory Indications: Includes any alternate source of information such as computers, Control Board indication or Local indication, which can be monitored to compensate for the loss of alarm functions or other indications.
Quantification of Most is arbitrary, however, it is estimated that if approximately 50% of the safety system annunciators or indicators are lost, there is an increased risk that a degraded plant condition could go undetected. It is not intended that plant personnel perform a detailed count of the instrumentation lost but use the value as a judgement threshold for determining the severity of the plant conditions. This judgement is supported by the specific opinion of the Shift Supervisor that additional operating personnel will be required to provide increased monitoring of system operation to safely operate the unit.
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 via IOCFR50.72. If the shutdown is not in compliance with the Technical Specification action, the Unusual Event is based on SU2 Inability to Reach Required Shutdown Within Technical Specification Limits.
Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.
Due to the limited number of safety systems in operation during cold shutdown, refueling, and defueled modes, no IC is indicated during these modes of operation.
This Unusual Event will be escalated to an Alert if a transient is in progress during the loss of annunciation or indication.

EAL-2 Unplanned loss of ALL onsite to offsite telephone and FAX communications capability: Plant telephone system, DPS/MCSO Ringdown Line, Texas Genco LP Line, STP Communicator (QSE) Ringdown Line, NRC ENS Line.
BASES:
The purpose of this IC and its associated EALs is to recognize a loss of communications capability that either defeats the plant operations staff's ability to perform routine tasks necessary for plant operations or the ability to communicate problems with offsite authorities. The loss of offsite communications ability is expected to be significantly more comprehensive than that addressed by 10CFR50.72.
Onsite communications loss encompasses the loss of all means of routine two-way communications.
Offsite communications loss encompasses the loss of all means of communications with offsite authorities. This EAL is intended to be used only when extraordinary means are being utilized to make communications possible (relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being sent to offsite locations, etc.).

EAL-1 Loss of ESF DC Power to Channel 1 and Channel 4 based on Battery Bus Voltage less than 107 volts DC for greater than 15 minutes.
BASES:
The purpose of this IC and its associated 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.
Unplanned is included in this IC and EAL to preclude the declaration of an emergency as a result of planned maintenance activities. Routinely STP performs maintenance on a Train related basis during shutdown periods. 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 per SA3 Inability to Maintain Plant in Cold Shutdown.
Class 1E bus voltage should be used as the minimum bus voltage necessary for the operation of safety related equipment. This voltage value of 107 volts DC incorporates a margin of at least 15 minutes of operation before the onset of inability to operate those loads.

EAL-2 Dose Equivalent Iodine (DEI) sample greater than Technical Specification limitations.
BASES:
This IC is included as an Unusual Event because it is considered to be a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant and a potential precursor of more serious problems. 300 gCi/ml reading on RT-8039 is based on 0.1% of the gap inventory. Grab sample verification is required in case of radiation monitor failures or high background radiation errors. Escalation of this IC to the Alert level is via the Fission Product Barrier Degradation Monitoring ICs.

EAL-1 Unidentified or pressure boundary leakage greater than 10 gpm.
EAL-2 Identified leakage greater than 25 gpm.
BASES:
This IC 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 1O-gpm value for the unidentified and pressure boundary leakage was selected as it is observable with normal control room indications. Lesser values must generally be determined through the time-consuming RCS Inventory surveillance test. 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 IC to the Alert level is via Fission Product Barrier Degradation ICs or IC SA3, Inability to Maintain Plant in Cold Shutdown.

EAL-l No voltage on all 4160 VAC ESF busses for greater than 15 minutes.
BASES:
Loss of all AC power compromises all plant safety systems requiring electric power including RHR, ECCS, Containment Heat Removal, Spent Fuel Pool Cooling and the Ultimate Heat Sink. When in cold shutdown, refueling, or defueled mode the event can be classified as an Alert because of the significantly reduced decay heat and lower temperature and pressure, which allows increased time to restore one of the emergency busses relative to that specified for the Site Area Emergency EAL. Escalating to Site Area Emergency, if appropriate, is by Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent, or Emergency Director Judgement ICs. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.

EAL-1 Reactor Protection System setpoint exceeded with NO automatic trip.
AND A manual reactor trip was required for plant shutdown.
BASES:
This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to trip 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 and thus the plant safety has been compromised, and design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded. An Alert is indicated because conditions exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS. Reactor protection system setpoint being exceeded (rather than limiting safety system setpoint being exceeded) is specified here because failure of the automatic protection system is the issue. A manual reactor trip is any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) in the Control Room which causes control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core and brings the reactor subcritical.
Failure of manual reactor trip would escalate the event to a Site Area Emergency.

EAL-1 The following conditions exist:
- a. Less than 2 RHR loops are functional.
AND
- b. Temperature increase that either:
- Results in Tavg exceeding 2000 F.
- Results in uncontrolled temperature rise causing Tavg to approach 2000 F.
BASES:
This EAL addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling during refueling and cold shutdown modes. Escalation to Site Area Emergency or General Emergency would be via Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent or Emergency Director Judgement ICs.
This IC and its associated EAL are based on concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, Loss of Decay Heat Removal. A number of phenomena such as pressurization, vortexing, steam generator U-tube draining, RCS level differences when operating at a mid-loop condition, decay heat removal system design, and level instrumentation problems can lead to conditions where decay heat removal is lost and core uncovery can occur. NRC analyses show sequences that can cause core uncovery in 15 to 20 minutes and severe core damage within an hour after decay heat removal is lost. Under these conditions, RCS integrity is lost and fuel clad integrity is lost or potentially lost, which is consistent with a Site Area Emergency.
OERPOI-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 l Page 53 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 Bases for Emergency Action Levels Page 21 of 71 SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS Indicators for this EAL are those methods used by the plant in response to Generic Letter 88-17 which include core exit temperature monitoring and RCS water level monitoring. In addition, radiation monitor readings may also be appropriate as an indicator of this condition.
Uncontrolled means that system temperature increase is not the result of planned actions by the plant staff. The EAL guidance related to uncontrolled temperature rise is necessary to preserve the anticipatory philosophy of NUREG-0654 for events starting from temperatures much lower than the cold shutdown temperature limit.
Escalation to the Site Area Emergency is by IC SS5, Loss of Water Level in the Reactor Vessel That Has or Will Uncover Fuel in the Reactor Vessel, or by Radiological ICs.

Significant Transient includes response to automatic or manually initiated functions such as reactor trips, runbacks involving greater than 25% thermal power change, ECCS injections, or thermal power oscillations of 10% or greater.
I OERPO1-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 l Page 65 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 l Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 33 of 71 SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS STP plant indications needed to monitor safety functions necessary for protection of the public must include Control Room indications, computer generated indications and dedicated annunciation capability.
The specific indications should be those used to determine such functions as the ability to shut down the reactor, maintain the core cooled and in a coolable geometry, to remove heat from the core, to maintain the reactor coolant system intact, and to maintain containment intact.
Planned actions are excluded from this EAL since the loss of instrumentation of this magnitude is of such significance during a transient that the cause of the loss is not a more tolerable factor.

EAL-I Entry into OPOP05-EO-ECOO, Loss of All AC Power, for greater than 15 minutes.
AND Either of the following conditions exist:
- a. Restoration of at least one 4160V AC ESF Bus within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> is not likely.
- b. Degradation of core cooling is indicated by a valid Red or Orange path on the Core Cooling Critical Safety Function Status Tree.
BASES:
Loss of all AC power 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 will lead to loss of fuel clad, RCS, and containment. The four hours to restore AC power is based on a site blackout coping analysis performed in conformance with 10CFR50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155, Station Blackout, with appropriate allowance for offsite emergency response. Although this IC may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation IC, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response.
This IC is specified to assure that in the unlikely event of a prolonged station blackout, timely recognition of the seriousness of the event occurs and that declaration of a General Emergency occurs as early as is appropriate, based on a reasonable assessment of the event trajectory.
The likelihood of restoring at least one emergency 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.
OERPO1-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 l Page 67 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 35 of 71 SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS 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 judgement as it relates to IMMINENT Loss or Potential Loss of fission product barriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers.

EAL-1 Entry into OPOP05-EO-FRS1, Response to Nuclear Power Generation - ATWS.
AND Either of the following:
- a. Degradation of core cooling is indicated by a valid Red path on the Core Cooling Critical Safety Function Status Tree.
- b. Degradation of heat sink is indicated by a valid Red path on the Heat Sink Critical Safety Function Status Tree.
BASES:
Automatic and manual reactor trip are not considered successful if action away from main control room is required to trip the reactor.
Under the conditions of this IC and its associated EALs, the efforts to bring the reactor subcritical have been unsuccessful and, as a result, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems were designed. Although there are capabilities away from the reactor control console, such as emergency boration, the continuing temperature rise indicates that these capabilities are not effective. This situation could be a precursor for a core melt sequence.
The extreme challenge to the ability to cool the core is intended to mean that the core exit temperatures are at or approaching 12000F or that the reactor vessel water level is below the top of active fuel. This EAL equates to a core cooling RED condition.
OERPO1-ZV-INOI I Rev. 6 l Page 69 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 1 Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 37 of 71 SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS Another consideration is the inability to initially remove heat during the early stages of this sequence. If feedwater flow is insufficient to remove the amount of heat required by design from at least one steam generator, an extreme challenge should be considered to exist. This EAL equates to a Heat Sink RED condition.
In the event either of these challenges exist at a time that the reactor has not been brought below the power associated with the safety system design (5% power) 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 matrix declaration to permit maximum offsite intervention time.

BASES:
The term "Unplanned," as used in this context, includes any release for which a radioactive discharge permit was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm setpoints, etc.) on the applicable permit.
Valid means that an unexpected radiation monitor reading has been confirmed by the operators to be correct.
- The Effluent Concentration Limit for Xe-133 is 5.00 E-7 gCi/ml.
OERPOI-ZV-INOI I Rev. 6 l Page 71 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 l Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 39 of 71 ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT The Unusual Event Limit is an unplanned release in excess of twice the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) limits that continues for 60 minutes or longer. Such an event is outside the permissible operating limits for South Texas Project and presumably represents an uncontrolled situation involving degradation in the level of plant safety. For a release to the offsite atmosphere, the limits of Control 3.11.2.1 apply (500 mrem/yr noble gas whole body and 1,500 mrem/yr organ dose rates). The final integrated dose (which is very low in the Unusual Event emergency class) is not the primary concern; it is the degradation in plant control implied by the fact that the release was not isolated within 60 minutes. For example, a release of eight times the ODCM limits for 15 minutes does not exceed this initiating condition. Further, the Emergency Director should not wait until 60 minutes has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is evident the release will not be stopped within 60 minutes.
There is generally more than one applicable Site Radiological Effluent Limit (e.g., air dose rate, other Technical Specifications may be more limiting). For this reason, the EALs should trigger an assessment of all applicable ODCM and NRC limits.
The methods for calculating offsite dose for routine releases as described in the ODCM do not correspond to the methods used to assess doses during an accident. Specifically, the ODCM uses sector average X/Q dispersion that is smaller than the centerline X/Q used in emergency release calculations. Moreover, the ODCM uses a 500 hour0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> average X/Q (averaged over all 16 sectors, 5.30 E-06 sec/m 3 ) whereas emergency calculations typically use the X/Q for the sector into which the wind is blowing at the time of the release.
In addition, the ODCM uses dose conversion factors calculated as described in Regulatory Guide 1.109 while emergency doses are calculated using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dose factors. The methodology of the ODCM produces a Unit Vent high alarm set point for noble gases of about 5.00 E+04 pCi/sec. When this alarm set point is evaluated using STAMPEDE*, the emergency offsite dose calculation method, and the assumptions below the resulting dose rates are about 540 mrem/yr (0.1 mrem/hr) TEDE, 150 mrem/yr (0.02 mrem/hr) gamma, and 550 mrem/yr thyroid CDE rate. These dose rates are in general agreement with the limits of ODCM Control 3.11.2.1. Consequently, adopting twice the Unit Vent high alarm set point is consistent with the criteria of twice the ODCM Control 3.11.2.1.
EAL 1 is set at 2 times the ODCM Limit which approximately corresponds to two (2) Effluent Concentration Limit for Xe-133 (5.00 E-7 pCi/ml specified in 10CFR20, Appendix B) which is the nuclide likely to dominate the release for this type of accident. The Unit Vent release rate of 1.00 E+5 plCi/sec produces concentrations at the site boundary of 1.00 E-6 pCi/ml when evaluated with the default meteorological conditions (X/Q = 1.00 E-5 sec/m 3 ).
EAL-4, the measured dose rate criteria is based on two times the ODCM Limits or 1,000 mrem/yr.
Typical exposure rate instruments may detect radiation at 1,000 mreni/yr or 0.1 mrem/hr. Therefore, if radiation is detected, twice the Effluent Concentrations of 10CFR20, Appendix B are exceeded and the criterion of EAL- I is also met.
- Assumed default meteorological conditions (X/Q = 1.00 E-5 sec/m 3 ), coolant inventory radionuclide release at 5.00 E+4 gCi/sec, and one (1) hour of decay before release.

BASES:
Valid means that an unexpected radiation monitor reading has been confirmed by the operators to be correct.
All of the above events tend to have long lead times relative to potential for radiological release outside the site boundary, thus impact to public health and safety is very low.
EAL-1 addresses unplanned increases in in-plant radiation levels that represent a degradation in the control of radioactive material, and represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.
This EAL escalates to an Alert per IC RA3, if the increases impair safe operation.
Explicit coverage of EALs-2 and-3 is appropriate given their potential for increased doses to plant staff.

Valid means that an unexpected radiation monitor reading has been confirmed by the operators to be valid.
The Alert limit has historically been set at 100 times the ODCM Control 3.11.2.1 limits. Although the Alert action level should be well above the Unusual Event action level to indicate significantly worsening radiological conditions, it should remain well below the Site Area action level. The accident is not sufficiently severe to assume fuel damage so the coolant inventory of radioactive material is appropriate for evaluating this accident level. If 100 times the ODCM Control were used, the Alert limit would be very close to the Site Area limit. For this reason, the bases for this limit was reduced to 25 times the Unusual Event action level.
EAL 1 is set at 25 times the Unusual Event action level. The release rate 2.00 E+6 gCi/sec would produce dose rates at the site boundary of about 30 rem/yr (TEDE) for the design basis coolant inventory of radionuclides. The design basis coolant inventory of radionuclides includes iodines and some corrosion products in addition to noble gases (as specified in the emergency offsite dose calculation code STAMPEDE). It is anticipated that a release of this magnitude would involve at least the activity available in the reactor coolant and therefore this mixture of radioactive materials is appropriate.
EAL-4, the measured dose rate criteria is based on the external dose rate component of EAL 1 above.
The external dose component of 30 rem/yr (TEDE) is about 3 mrem/hr.

NUREG-0818, Emergency Action Levels for Light Water Reactors, forms the basis for these EALs.
There is time available to take corrective actions, and there is little potential for substantial fuel damage.
In addition, NUREG/CR-4982, Severe Accident in Spent Fuel Pools in Support of Generic Safety Issue 82, July 1987, indicates that even if corrective actions are not taken, no prompt fatalities are predicted, and that risk of injury is low. In addition, NRC Information Notice No. 90-08, KR-85 Hazards from Decayed Fuel presents the following in its discussion:
In the event of a serious accident involving decayed spent fuel, protective actions would be needed for personnel on site, while offsite doses (assuming an exclusion area radius of one mile from the plant site) would be well below the Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guides.
I I OERPO1-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 l Page 76 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 l Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 44 of7l ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT Accordingly, it is important to be able to properly survey and monitor for Kr-85 in the event of an accident with decayed spent fuel.
Licensees may wish to reevaluate whether EALs specified in the Emergency Plan and procedures governing decayed fuel handling activities appropriately focus on concern for onsite workers and Kr-85 releases in areas where decayed spent fuel accidents could occur, for example, the spent fuel pool working floor. Furthermore, licensees may wish to determine if emergency plans and corresponding implementing procedures address the means for limiting radiological exposures of onsite personnel who are in other areas of the plant. Among other things, moving onsite personnel away from the plume and shutting off building air intakes downwind from the source may be appropriate.
Thus, an Alert Classification for this event is appropriate. Escalation, if appropriate, would occur via Radiological ICs.

This IC addresses increased radiation levels that impede necessary access to operating stations, or other areas containing equipment that must be operated manually, in order to maintain safe operation or perform a safe shutdown. It is this impaired ability to operate the plant that results in the actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant. The cause and/or magnitude of the increase in radiation levels is not a concern of this IC. The Emergency Director must consider the source or cause of the increase radiation levels and determine if any other IC may be involved. For example, a dose rate of 15 mremlhr in the Control Room or TSC may be a problem in itself.
OERPO1-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 l Page 78 of 104 Emergency Classification R Addendum 2 l Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 46 of 71 .
ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT However, the increase may also be indicative of high dose rates in the containment due to LOCA. In this latter case, an SAE or GE may be indicated by the fission product barrier matrix ICs.
This IC is not meant to apply to increases in the containment dome radiation monitors as these events are addressed in the fission product barrier matrix ICs. Nor is it intended to apply to anticipated temporary increases due to planned events. (e.g., incore detector movement, radwaste container movement, depleted resin transfers, etc.)
The only area requiring continuous occupancy is the Control Room; however, other control stations that are manned continuously, such as a radwaste control room, a central security alarm station, or an operator station in the plant should be alerted if Control Room radiation levels reach the action level. The value of 15 mrem/hr is derived from the GDC 19 value of 5 rem in 30 days with adjustment of expected occupancy times. Although Section III.D.3 of NUREG-0737, Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements, provides that the 15 mren/hr value can be averaged over the 30 days, the value is used here without averaging, as a 30 day duration implies in event potentially more significant than an Alert.
For areas requiring infrequent access, the values are based on radiation levels which result in exposure control measures intended to maintain doses within normal occupational exposure guidelines and limits (i.e., IOCFR20), and in doing so, will impede necessary access.

Valid means that an unexpected radiation monitor reading has been confirmed by the operators to be correct.
The Site Area Emergency limit is 0.1 times the Protective Action Guides (PAGs) (0.100 rem TEDE or 0.500 rem Thyroid CDE at the site boundary). The 100 mrem TEDE and 500 mrem Thyroid CDE dose were adopted at one-tenth the EPA Protective Action Guideline doses. Doses at these levels would generally require action within the site boundary to protect personnel.
EAL 1 uses a source term that is representative of a postulated accident mixture of noble gases and iodine.
The mixture assumes a gap inventory (as defined in the STAMPEDE emergency offsite dose calculation code) about one hour after the reactor ceases to be critical. This mixture is consistent with fuel damage that would be necessary for generating the dose rates associated with a site area emergency. The average centerline X/Q is assumed to be 1.00 E-5 sec/m3 to be consistent with the value used for emergency offsite dose calculations.
The 100 mrem TEDE and 500 mrem integrated thyroid dose were adopted at one-tenth the EPA Protective Action Guideline doses. Doses at these levels would generally require action within the site boundary to protect personnel. Note that the gap inventory radionuclide mixture contains sufficient iodine to exceed the 500 mrem/hr thyroid CDE criteria before the 100 mrem/hr TEDE is exceeded.
Integrated doses are generally not monitored in real-time. In establishing the emergency action levels, a duration of one hour is assumed, and the EALs are based on a site boundary dose rate of 100 mrem/hr TEDE or 500 mrem/hr thyroid, whichever is more limiting (depends on source term assumptions). If the Radiological Director/Emergency Director indicates a longer or shorter duration for the period in which the substantial portion of the activity is released, these dose rates should be adjusted.

ABNORMAL RAD LEVELS/RADIOLOGICAL EFFLUENT BASES:
Valid means that an unexpected radiation monitor reading has been confirmed by the operators to be correct.
Doses in excess of 1 rem TEDE or 5 rem Thyroid CDE at the site boundary warrant declaration of a General Emergency. The Emergency Action Level (EAL) is based on a dose rate consistent with the release rate that would have to be sustained for one hour to produce the 1 rem TEDE or 5 rem Thyroid CDE at the site boundary. Integrated doses are generally not monitored in real-time. In establishing the EALs, a duration of one hour is assumed, and the EALs are based on site boundary doses for either TEDE or Thyroid CDE, whichever is more limiting (source term dependent). The severity of the General Emergency requires fuel damage to have sufficient activity for significant offsite dose consequences. If the Radiological Director or Emergency Director indicates a longer or shorter duration for the period in which the substantial portion of the activity is released, these dose rates should be adjusted.
The release rate was derived using the centerline X/Q, 1.00 E-5 sec/m3, associated with average annual meteorology for emergency offsite dose calculations. Actual meteorology is used when calculating dose projections using OERPO1-ZV-TPO1, Offsite Dose Calculations.
Actual meteorology is specifically identified in the initiating condition since it gives the most accurate dose assessment. Actual meteorology (including forecasts) should be used whenever possible.

EAL-1 Fire within the areas below which is not under control within 15 minutes of initial notification.
EAL-2 Explosion in or adjacent to any of the following areas which damages equipment necessary for normal plant operation.
Areas considered for EAL-I and EAL-2:
- Turbine Generator Building
- Mechanical/Electrical Auxiliary Building
- Fuel Handling Building
- Reactor Containment Building
- Essential Cooling Water Intake Structure
- Isolation Valve Cubicle
- Diesel Generator Building
- Circulating Water Intake Structure BASES:
The purpose of this IC is to address the magnitude and extent of explosions or fires that may be potentially significant precursors to damage to safety systems or for initiation of plant transients. This excludes such items as fires within administration buildings, wastebasket fires, and other small fires of no safety consequence. This IC applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant Vital Areas or other significant buildings or areas. The intent of this IC is not to include buildings (e.g., warehouses) or areas that are not contiguous or immediately adjacent to plant Vital Areas. Initial Notification is a credible notification a fire is occurring or verification of a fire detection system alarm. Verification of the alarm includes actions that can be taken within the Control Room or other plant specific locations to ensure the alarm is not spurious, but does not include dispatch of personnel to the scene to confirm a fire exists (NUMARC Q&A, June 1993). Fifteen minutes is allowed to verify that the fire alarm is valid and that initial fire fighting efforts have not been effective.
Escalation to a higher emergency class is by IC HAI, Fire or Explosion in a Vital Area Potentially Affecting Safe Shutdown or Decay Heat Removal.

EAL-1 Onsite toxic or flammable gas release which requires evacuation of areas within the Protected Area.
EAL-2 Report by Local, County or State Officials for potential evacuation of site personnel based on offsite event.
BASES:
This IC is based on releases in concentrations within the site boundary that will affect the health of plant personnel or affect the safe operation of the plant with the plant being within the evacuation area of an offsite event (e.g., tanker truck accident releasing toxic gases, etc.) The evacuation area is as determined from the DOT Evacuation Tables for Selected Hazardous Materials, in the DOT Emergency Response Guide for Hazardous Materials.
HAZARDS & OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SYSTEMS UNUSUAL EVENT HU4 Natural or Destructive Phenomena Affecting Plant Operations OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: At All Times EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS:
EAL-l Earthquake detected by seismic monitoring system and confirmed by OPOP04-SY-0001 Seismic Event.
EAL-2 Tornado striking facilities within the Protected Area.
EAL-3 Shutdown of the facility required due to actual or predicted natural phenomenon, in accordance with OPOP04-ZO-0002, Natural or Destructive Phenomena Guidelines.
EAL-4 Vehicle crash into plant structures or systems within the Protected Area.
EAL-5 Report of main turbine failure resulting in casing penetration or damage to turbine or generator seals.
BASES:
EAL-1: Damage may be caused to some portions of the site, but should not affect ability of safety functions to operate. Method of detection can be based on instrumentation, validated by seismic event procedure OPOP04-SY-0001.
EAL-2: Based on the assumption that a tornado striking (touching down) within the Protected Area boundary may have potentially damaged plant structures containing functions or systems required for safe shutdown of the plant. If such damage is confirmed visually or by other in-plant indications, the event may be escalated to Alert.
EAL-3: This EAL raises awareness that the potential exists for loss of electrical power or station blackout. It also represents a threshold beyond which special provisions for additional support are likely.
EAL 4: Addresses events such as aircraft crash that may damage plant structures containing systems and functions required for safe shutdown. If the crash is confirmed to affect a Vital Area, the event may be escalated to an Alert.
OERPO1-ZV-INO1 Rev. 6 Page 89 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 Bases for Emergency Action Levels Page 57 of 71 HAZARDS & OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SYSTEMS EAL-5: Intended to address main turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause observable damage to the turbine casing or to the seals of the turbine generator. 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 and HU3. 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. Escalation of the emergency classification is based on potential damage done by missiles generated by the failure or by radiological releases in conjunction with a steam generator tube rupture. These latter events would be classified by the radiological ICs or Fission Product Barrier ICs.
NOTE If generator seal damage is observed after the generator has been purged for disassembly, declaration of an Unusual Event is not required. In this case, there is no report of a leak, no detection of hydrogen, and no explosion or fire. In effect, the amount of gas that leaked did not affect normal operations of the plant. (Ref. NUMARC Questions and Answers, June 1993)

EAL-1 Essential Cooling Pond (ECP) level less than 25.0 ft. mean sea level.
EAL-2 Other conditions exist which in the judgement of the Emergency Director indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
BASES:
EAL-1 Based on the requirement to shutdown the plant for ECP level less than 25.5 ft. mean sea level.
(STPUFSAR 9.2.5.1.1.5).
EAL-2 This EAL is intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the Unusual Event emergency class.
From a broad perspective, one area that may warrant Emergency Director judgement is related to likely or actual breakdown of site specific event mitigating actions. Examples to consider include inadequate emergency response procedures, transient response either unexpected or not understood, failure or unavailability of emergency systems during an accident in excess of that assumed in accident analysis, or insufficient availability of equipment and/or support personnel.
Specific example of actual events that may require Emergency Director judgement for Unusual Event declaration are listed here for consideration. However, this list is by no means all inclusive and is not intended to limit the discretion of the site to provide further examples.
- Missile(s) impacting safety related structures.
- Near-site explosion which may adversely affect normal site activities.
- Near-site release of toxic or flammable gas which may adversely affect normal site activities.
- Uncontrolled RCS cooldown due to Secondary Depressurization.
It is also intended that the Emergency Director's judgement not be limited by any list of events as defined here or as augmented by the site. This list is provided solely as examples for consideration and it is recognized that actual events may not always follow a preconceived description.

EAL-I Intrusion into the Protected Area by a hostile force.
EAL-2 Security Emergency as defined by the Safeguards Contingency Plan.
BASES:
This class of security events represents an escalated threat to plant safety above that contained in the Unusual Event. For the purposes of this IC, a civil disturbance which penetrates the Protected Area boundary can be considered a hostile force. Intrusion into a Vital Area by a hostile force will escalate this event to a Site Area Emergency
OERPO1-ZV-INO1 Rev. 6 Page 92 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 l Bases for Emergency Action Levels IPage 60 of 71 HAZARDS & OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SAFETY ALERT HA2 Fire or Explosion in a Vital Area Potentially Affecting Safe Shutdown or Decay Heat Removal OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: See Specific EAL EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS:
EAL-1 Fire or Explosion potentially affecting Safe Shutdown Equipment or systems required for decay heat removal (Modes 1-6).
The following conditions exist:
- a. Fire or explosion in any of the following areas:
- Mechanical/Electrical Auxiliary Building
- Reactor Containment Building
- Isolation Valve Cubicle
- Diesel Generator Building
- Essential Cooling Water Intake Structure AND
- b. Affected system parameter indications show degraded performance or plant personnel report visible damage to systems, structures or components within the specified area required for safe shutdown.
EAL-2 Fire or explosion in one or more of the areas listed below which impacts ability to maintain cooling for spent fuel. (Mode: At all times)
- Fuel Handling Building
- Mechanical/Electrical Auxiliary Building
OERPOI-ZV-INO1 I Rev. 6 l Page 93 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 Bases for Emergency Action Levels Page 61 of 71 HAZARDS & OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SAFETY BASES:
EAL-1 & 2: The areas above contain functions and systems required for the safe shutdown of the plant. This EAL addresses a fire and not the degradation in performance of affected systems. System degradation is addressed in the System Malfunction EALs. The reference to damage of systems is used to identify the magnitude of the fire and to discriminate against minor fires. The reference to safety systems is included to discriminate against fires in areas having a low probability of affecting safe operation.
The significance here is not that a safety system was degraded but the fact that the fire was large enough to cause damage to these systems. The designation of a single train is appropriate when the fire is large enough to affect more than one component and an Alert is justified.
Escalation to a higher emergency class, if appropriate, will be based on System Malfunction, Fission Product Barrier Degradation, Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent, or Emergency Director Judgement ICs. With regard to explosions, only those explosions of sufficient force to damage permanent structures or equipment required for safe operation within the identified plant area should be considered. As used here, an explosion is a rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or a catastrophic failure of pressurized equipment, that potentially imparts significant energy to near-by structures and materials. The inclusion of a report of visible damage should not be interpreted as mandating a lengthy damage assessment prior to classification. No attempt is made in this EAL to assess the actual magnitude of the damage. The occurrence of the explosion with reports of evidence of damage (e.g., deformation, scorching) is sufficient for declaration. The declaration of an Alert and the activation of the TSC will provide the Emergency Director with the resources needed to perform these damage assessments.
The Emergency Director also needs to consider any security aspects of the explosions, if applicable.
Potential loss of decay heat removal during shutdown conditions or loss of spent fuel cooling capability can result in challenges to operators and plant response mechanisms.
Vulnerabilities for the consequences of fire or explosion may be increased in Mode 4, 5 and 6 because of the likelihood of support systems being out of service for maintenance and reduced requirements for electrical power.

EAL-l Confirmed entry of toxic gas into Control Room envelope.
EAL-2 Uncontrolled entry of flammable gas into a Vital Area.
EAL-3 Uncontrolled entry of toxic gas into the facility in life threatening concentration or into a Vital Area where lack of access constitutes a safety problem.
BASES:
This IC is based on gases that have entered a plant structure affecting the safe operation of the plant. This IC applies to buildings and areas contiguous to plant Vital Areas or other significant buildings or areas.
The intent of this IC is not to include buildings (e.g., warehouses) or other areas that are not contiguous or immediately adjacent to plant Vital Areas. It is appropriate that increased monitoring be done to ascertain whether consequential damage has occurred. Escalation to the higher emergency class, if appropriate, will be based on System Malfunction, Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Abnormal Rad Levels/Radioactive Effluent ICs.

EAL-1 Seismic motion exceeding Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) as indicated by a Seismic monitor alarm and confirmed by OPOP04-SY-0001.
EAL-2 Tornado or high wind causing visible structural damage to any of the following plant structures:
- Reactor Containment Building

EAL-6 Turbine failure generated missiles result in any visible structural damage to or penetration of any of the following plant areas:
- Reactor Containment Building
- ECW Intake Structure
- Mechanical/Electrical Auxiliary Building
- Isolation Valve Cubicle
- Fuel Handling Building
- Diesel Generator Building
OERPO1-ZV-INOI I Rev. 6 l Page 96 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 l Bases for Emergency Action Levels I Page 64 of 71 HAZARDS & OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SYSTEMS BASES:
EAL-1: Based on STPEGS UFSAR design basis. Seismic events of this magnitude can cause damage to safety functions.
EAL-2: Based on actual evidence of wind damage regardless of wind speed.
EAL-3: Based on potential for uncontrolled or ineffectually controlled flooding of vital structures which potentially affects systems required for safe shutdown of the plant.
EAL-4: Based on potential for a design basis flood event resulting from breach of the dike. (Ref.
UFSAR 3.4. 1)
EAL-5: Addresses items such as airplane, helicopter, or machinery crash into plant vital areas.
EAL-6: Is intended to address the threat to safety related equipment imposed by missiles generated by main turbine rotating component failures. This EAL is, therefore, consistent with the definition of an ALERT in that if missiles have damaged or penetrated areas containing safety-related equipment the potential exists for substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
Each of these EALs is intended to address events that may have resulted in a plant Vital Area being subjected to forces beyond design limits, and thus damage may be assumed to have occurred to plant safety systems. Escalation to a higher emergency class, if appropriate, will be based on System Malfunction, Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Radiological ICs.
OERPOI-ZV-INO1 l Rev. 6 l Page 97 of 104 Emergency Classification Addendum 2 1 Bases for Emergency Action Levels I Page 65 of 71 HAZARDS & OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING PLANT SYSTEMS ALERT HA5 Control Room Evacuation OPERATING MODE APPLICABILITY: 1-6 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS:
EAL-1 The Control Room is evacuated and the plant is being controlled within 15 minutes per OPOP04-ZO-0001, Control Room Evacuation.
BASES:
With the evacuation of the Control Room, additional support, monitoring and direction through the TSC and for other Emergency Operations Centers is necessary. Inability to establish control from outside the Control Room within 15 minutes will escalate this event to a Site Area Emergency (HS-2). Step 12 of OPOP04-ZO-0001 places the control transfer switches in the Auxiliary Shutdown Panel (ASP) position.
At this point the operators can determine that actual control is achieved at the ASP. If the Emergency Director is not confident that the appropriate plant controls are functioning at the ASP, escalation to a Site Area Emergency is indicated.
As stated in NUREG-0654, the rationale for the Alert class is to provide prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences given operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized. When an Alert is declared, based upon control room evacuation or any other EAL, the Technical Support Center is staffed.
Declaration of an Alert is appropriate to notify onsite and offsite emergency organizations that a control room evacuation is taking place and that the possibility exists, however small, that control cannot be established outside of the control room.

EAL-2 Other conditions exist which in the judgement of the Emergency Director indicate that plant safety systems may be degraded and that increased monitoring of plant functions is warranted.
BASES:
EAL-I Based on continued depletion of ECP with no make-up. EAL allows 1.5 ft. margin to minimum ECP level described in UFSAR Table 9.2.5.3.
EAL-2 Intended to address unanticipated conditions not addressed explicitly elsewhere but that warrant declaration of an emergency because conditions exist which are believed by the Emergency Director to fall under the Alert emergency class.

EAL-I Intrusion into a Vital Area by a hostile force.
EAL-2 Security Emergency which in the judgement of the Emergency Director could prevent safe shutdown or interfere with maintaining safe shutdown conditions.
EAL-3 Confirmed presence of an explosive device in a Vital Area.
BASES:
This class of security events represents an escalated threat to plant safety above that contained in the Alert IC in that a hostile force has progressed from the Protected Area to a Vital Area, or that other events (e.g.
sabotage) have been found which could affect safe shutdown.

EAL-I 1. The following conditions exist:
- a. Control room evacuation has been initiated per OPOP04-ZO-0001, Control Room Evacuation.
AND
- b. Control of the plant cannot be established by completion of step 12 of OPOP04-ZO-0001 within 15 minutes.
BASES:
Step 12 of OPOP04-ZO-0001 places the control transfer switches in the Auxiliary Shutdown Panel (ASP) position. At this point, the Operators can determine they have control at the ASP. Expeditious transfer of safety systems has not occurred but fission product barrier damage may not yet be indicated. Time for transfer based on analysis or assessments as to how quickly control must be reestablished without core uncovering and/or core damage. In cold shutdown and refueling modes, operator concern is directed toward maintaining core cooling such as is discussed in Generic Letter 88-17, Loss of Decay Heat Removal. In power operation, hot standby and hot shutdown modes, operator concern is primarily directed toward maintaining critical safety functions and thereby assuring fission product barrier integrity.
Escalation of this event, if appropriate, would be by Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Radiological ICs.
If the Emergency Director is not confident that adequate plant controls are functioning at the ASP, escalation to a Site Area Emergency is warranted.

I OERPO1-ZV-IN02 I Rev. 17 lPage 24 of 28 Notifications To Offsite Agencies Addendum 4 l Instructions for Operating Emergency Response Data Systems (ERDS) I Page I of 2 1.0 Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) Activation, Termination, and Error Handling Instructions:
2.0 Steps to Activate the ERDS from Integrated Computer System / Emergency Response Facility Data Acquisition Display System (ICS/ERFDADS) Main Menu:
2.1 Click on the Menu UP Arrow (WDPF Main Menu) 2.2 Select Custom Graphics 2.3 Select Top Level Menu 2.4 Select AF, AM, AP, BR, & CC DISPLAYS 2.5 Select NRC Link Control 2.6 Click in ACTIVATE Block to connect with the NRC ERDS Computer at the NRC Operations Center in Rockville, Maryland, via a dedicated telephone line.
2.7 The dial-up should generally succeed within one minute, at which time the NRC Link Control screen will indicate ACTIVE and ONLINE and will begin counting GOOD CYCLES. Otherwise, the ICS/ERFDADS will automatically re-dial and attempt to connect with the NRC ERDS computer several additional times. If no connection is established within approximately five minutes, then NRC Link Control screen will indicate the link status via error messages. If more than five minutes elapses without a successful response, then site personnel should notify the NRC before terminating efforts to establish the ERDS data link.
2.8 The display terminal may now be used for other purposes while the ERDS data continues to be transmitted to the NRC. Whenever the ERDS is active, it is suggested that NRC Link Control or NRC Link Status screen be used to monitor the status of the ERDS data link.
3.0 Steps to terminate the ERDS:
3.1 If NRC Link Control screen is not present on an ICS/ERFDADS terminal, repeat the ERDS activation steps 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5.
3.2 When NRC Link Control screen is present on the terminal CLICK in the TERMINATE Block. This action causes the ICS/ERFDADS to disconnect the telephone connection with the NRC ERDS computer in Rockville, Maryland.
3.3 When the ERDS is terminated by STP, the NRC Link Control and NRC Link Status screens will show the message Terminated and the Link Status Block with the message OFFLINE. When STP terminates the ERDS, then 15 minutes must lapse before attempting to activate the ERDS again from the same STP Unit.
OERPOI-ZV-IN02 I Rev. 17 I Page25of28 Notifications To Offsite Agencies Addendum 4 lInstructions For Operating Emergency Response Data Systems (ERDS) I Page 2 of 2 4.0 Steps to handle ERDS error conditions:
4.1 If an error condition occurs, then the error messages will be displayed on NRC Link Control and NRC Link Status screens. If an error condition occurs, then obtain a hardcopy of the error message using Print Screen.
4.2 When the ERDS is active and no errors are occurring, then displays NRC Link Control and NRC Link Status screens will tag the ERDS Messages block with the message Active, the Link Status block with the message Online, the Read Error block with the message OK, the Nonsensical error block with the message OK, and the Write Error block with the message OK.
4.3 If an attempt is made to activate the ERDS by STP and all telephone lines at NRC are busy, then displays NRC Link Control and NRC Link Status screens will tag the ERDS Messages block with the message NRC lines busy. Obtain a hardcopy of the display showing the NRC lines busy message and then follow the steps to terminate the ERDS.
Periodically try again to activate the ERDS, producing a hardcopy of the display each time the NRC lines busy message is shown.

1.0 Purpose and Scope
1.1 This procedure provides instructions for determining Offsite Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the general public.
1.2 PARs may be based on any of the following:
1.2.1 Declaration of a General Emergency.
1.2.2 Projected and/or actual measured doses offsite exceeding the EPA Protective Action Guidelines of 1 REM TEDE or 5 REM Thyroid CDE.
1.3 No PARs are required for the Unusual Event, Alert or Site Area Emergency classification.
1.4 This procedure implements the requirements of the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS) Emergency Plan specific to PARs.
2.0 Definitions 2.1 COMMITTED DOSE EQUIVALENT (CDE): Total dose from internally deposited radionuclides over subsequent 50 year period to a specific organ.
2.2 EXCLUSION AREA BOUNDARY: An oval shape that is at least 1,430 meters (4,692 feet, 0.889 miles) from the center of either containment building, see Addendum 3 of procedure OERPO1-ZV-INOI, Emergency Classification. The Site Boundary and Exclusion Area Boundary are considered the same for dose assessment purposes.
2.3 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS: Any action taken to avoid or reduce a projected radiological dose to the public.
2.4 PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDE (PAG): The projected dose to reference man, or other defined individual, from an unplanned release of radioactive material at which a specific protective action to reduce or avoid that dose is recommended.
2.5 PROTECTIVE RESPONSE ZONES: Designated areas that divide the ten mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) by geographical boundaries, access roads and natural landmarks to facilitate evacuation of the public.
2.6 RADIOLOGICAL RELEASE: Any radiological release from the plant that exceeds the EAL limits established for an Unusual Event.
2.7 SECTOR
The emergency planning zone is divided into 16 sectors (22.5° each). Sectors are used to provide a visual representation of the location of the plume.
2.8 TOTAL EFFECTIVE DOSE EQUIVALENT (TEDE): The sum of the deep dose equivalent (external exposure) and the committed effective dose equivalent (internal exposure).
I OERPO1-ZV-IN07 I Rev. 9 1 Page 3of 10 Offsite Protective Action Recommendations 3.0 Precautions and Limitations 3.1 PAR development is expected to be made promptly following indications that conditions have exceeded Protective Action Guides (PAGs). PARs shall be developed and given to the Emergency Director within 15 minutes of initial indications.
3.2 The PARs determined by this procedure are to be issued to State and County agencies as RECOMMENDATIONS. State and County agencies are responsible for determining and implementing protective actions for the general public.
3.3 Offsite agency notifications and Protective Action Recommendations should not be delayed until a dose assessment can be completed. Follow-up notifications can address the results of dose assessments.
3.4 Upon declaration of a General Emergency, a PAR shall be issued. This recommendation shall accompany notification of the emergency declaration and shall be issued within 15 minutes of the declaration of the Emergency Classification.
3.5 Changes in wind direction, stability class, or increase in release rates may result in the need to revise PARs to include additional protective response zones.
3.6 Wind direction changes that only affect additional downwind sectors shall be communicated to the Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC).
3.7 Any change to a PAR shall be issued on OERPOI-ZV-IN02, Data Sheet 1, Offsite Agency Notification Message Form within 15 minutes of approval of the revision by the Emergency Director.
3.8 Any recommendation to relax protective measures implemented for the public requires joint concurrence by the State of Texas, Matagorda County, and the NRC.
3.9 If PARs have been made beyond 10 miles, then wind direction changes that affect additional sectors may result in the need to revise PARs.
4.0 Responsibilities 4.1 The Emergency Director shall be responsible for implementation of this procedure and the approval and release of PARs to offsite agencies.
4.2 The Radiological Director shall be responsible for making PAR recommendations to the Emergency Director.
4.2.1 If the Emergency Operations Facility is not activated and Command and Control is in the Technical Support Center, then the Radiological Manager is responsible for making Protective Action Recommendations to the Emergency Director.
I OERPO1-ZV-IN07 I Rev.9 l Page 4 oflO Offsite Protective Action Recommendations 4.2.2 If neither the Technical Support Center nor the Emergency Operations Facility is activated, then the Acting Radiological Manager is responsible for making Protective Action Recommendations to the Emergency Director.
5.0 Procedure 5.1 Based on the judgement of the Radiological Director, Protective Action Recommendations are developed using the guidance provided in Addendum 2 or Addendum 3 and recommended to the Emergency Director.
5.2 Determine PARs at a General Emergency by one of the following methods:
5.2.1 IF a radiological release is in progress AND time does not permit the calculation and evaluation of downwind doses OR personnel are not available to complete these calculations, THEN determine the PAR using Addendum 1, Initial Protective Action Recommendation Flowchart.
5.2.2 IF a radiological release is NOT in progress, THEN determine the PAR using Addendum 2, Core/Containment Status Table.
5.2.3 IF a radiological release is in progress, THEN use Addendum 3, Radiological Release Table. Refer to OERPO1-ZV-TPO1, Offsite Dose Calculations, to determine projected downwind doses.
- Conditions presented in Addendum 3 are listed in order of preference based on available data.
- Any single condition or combination of conditions may be used to determine the most appropriate PAR.
5.2.4 IF a PAR has been calculated and issued using Addendum 2, Core/Containment Status Table, and a radiological release begins, THEN determine PAR expansion using dose assessment or field monitoring results and Addendum 3, Radiological Release Table.
5.2.5 IF a PAR has been calculated and issued using dose assessment, and the radiological release is terminated, THEN determine PAR expansion using field monitoring results.
5.2.6 IF dose assessment results indicate PAGs are exceeded at 10 miles, THEN
- Verify dose projection with field team measurements.
I OERPOI-ZV-IN07 I Rev. 9 l Page 5of 10 Offsite Protective Action Recommendations
- If field team measurement supports the dose projection, then recommend to the Emergency Director that PARs be expanded to include the 10-mile radius and the downwind sectors greater than 10-miles in 2-mile increments until PAGs are not exceeded.
5.3 If weather conditions (such as frontal passage) are or would cause frequent revisions to the PAR due to downwind zone changes (frequently changing wind direction), then recommend protective actions affecting the entire radius.
5.4 Use Addendum 5, Protective Response Zones, and determine the affected zones and sectors. Use Addendum 4, Protective Response Zones Map, for a visual representation of PARs.
5.5 Provide PARs to the Emergency Director for approval and issuance.

NOTE: Evaluated using Revision 7.0 of the STAMPEDE code. The evaluation involved running a series of calculations and comparing the offsite doses to the PAGs at 1, 5, and 10 miles. The gap inventory existing about I hour after reactor shutdown was assumed to best represent the nuclide mix. STAMPEDE defaults were assumed for the meteorology. The "containment leakage" method was used to calculate the release rate because this method allows the entry of both the containment pressure indications and the containment exposure rate measured by the RT8050 or RT8051 radiation monitors.

I OERPO1-ZV-TPOI I Rev. 14 l Page 2of 24 Offsite Dose Calculations
1.0 Purpose and Scope
1.1 This procedure provides instructions for performing offsite dose calculations by estimating offsite dose rates and integrated doses to the general public during a declared event when radioactive material is released from the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS).
1.2 Methods that may be used for dose calculations included in this procedure are STAMPEDE, Emergency Dose Rate Tables, and OPDA.
1.3 This procedure implements the requirements of the STPEGS Emergency Plan specific to calculating offsite doses to the General Public.
2.0 Definitions 2.1 ATMOSPHERIC STABILITY CLASS: A letter designator indicating the relative stability or instability of an air mass.
2.2 DEFAULT RELEASE DURATION - The amount of time in hours, automatically used by dose projection programs as the release duration. This default value is selected to best characterize release duration based on maximum evacuation times and historical meteorological data.
2.3 DELTA TEMPERATURE: The temperature differential measured between the 60 meter and 10 meter levels of the primary meteorological tower ( 60 m (1F) - 10 m (1F)).
2.4 GROUND LEVEL RELEASE: All releases at the STPEGS are assumed to be best modeled as though at ground level and are dispersed based on 10 meter meteorological data.
2.5 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION METHODS:
2.5.1 South Texas Assessment Model Projecting Emergency Dose Evaluation (STAMPEDE)
A computer program used to perform offsite dose calculations, TEDE dose rates, inhalation thyroid CDE dose rates and doses integrated through the duration of the release are calculated.
I OERPO1-ZV-TPOI I Rev. 14 l Page3of24 Offsite Dose Calculations 2.5.2 Emergency Dose Rate Tables Tables which predict TEDE and thyroid CDE dose rates at 1 to 10 miles from the STPEGS are based on an estimated release rate (iiCilsec) and the atmospheric stability class (A through G). The default isotopic mix was based on a gap inventory using STAMPEDE. Wind speed varies per stability class as indicated on each table.
2.5.3 Onshift Prompt Dose Assessment (OPDA)
A computerized calculation program which operates in a Windows environment to estimate TEDE and thyroid CDE dose based on an estimated release rate (jtCi/sec), atmospheric stability class and release pathway. This method may be used by onshift Health Physics technicians in performing a prompt dose assessment.
2.6 HATCH MONITOR: Temporary monitor installed when Containment Monitors RT-8050 and RT-805 1 are out of service. A correction factor has been calculated to relate Hatch Monitor dose rate to dose rate inside containment. Reference 6.6 2.7 OFFSITE DOSE CALCULATION: A calculation of the estimated offsite dose to the general public based on releases of radioactive material, meteorological conditions, time since reactor shutdown, and the expected release duration. The offsite dose calculation is helpful in formulating offsite Protective Action Recommendations (PAR).
2.8 PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDE (PAG): An action to be taken to avoid or reduce a projected dose as identified in EPA 400-R-92-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents.
2.9 RADIOLOGICAL RELEASE: Any radiological release from the plant that exceeds the EAL limits established for an Unusual Event.
2.10 SIGMA-THETA: A method to assign atmospheric stability classes based on the standard deviation of the wind direction in degrees ()*.
2.11 SOURCE TERM: With respect to offsite dose calculations, the characteristics and release rates of the radioactive material.
I OERPO1-ZV-TPO1 I Rev. 14 l Page4of24 Offsite Dose Calculations 3.0 Precautions and Limitations 3.1 For Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) events with 100% S/G water level, the steam flow reported on the Integrated Computer System (ICS) will be high and result in an over conservative PAR. Use the default MSL flow rate specified by the dose assessment program.
3.2 The dose projection capabilities of all methods depend upon models that become less exact at greater distances from the release point.
3.3 When collecting wind speed and wind direction meteorological data from the primary or backup meteorological tower, or the National Weather Service Forecast Office, care must be taken to ensure that a 15 minute average value is used in dose calculations and not an instantaneous value.
3.4 Regional meteorological data may be required to help evaluate offsite dose calculations.
This information can be obtained from the National Weather Service in Dickinson, Texas.
The types of information that can be obtained include temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud height, and cloud cover. As time permits, forecast data may be used to supplement dose projections.
3.5 Default parameters are built into the STAMPEDE program for ground wind velocity, ground level wind direction, and atmospheric stability class. These parameters are displayed on screen while working with STAMPEDE.
3.6 IF dose assessment results indicate Protective Action Guides (PAGs) exceeded at >10 miles, AND the Emergency Director resides in the affected Unit Control Room, THEN as available, verify dose assessment results with field teams and notify the Emergency Director. Discuss with the Emergency Director expanded PARs for downwind sectors >10 miles in 2 mile increments until PAGs are not exceeded.
3.7 IF dose assessment results indicate PAGs exceeded at >10 miles, AND the Emergency Director resides in the TSC, THEN verify dose assessment results with field teams and notify the Radiological Manager. Discuss with the Radiological Manager expanded PARs for downwind sectors >10 miles in 2 mile increments until PAGs are not exceeded.
3.8 IF dose assessment results indicate PAGs exceeded at >10 miles, AND the Emergency Director resides in the EOF, THEN verify dose assessment results with field teams and notify the Radiological Director. Discuss with the Radiological Director expanded PARs for downwind sectors >10 miles in 2 mile increments until PAGs are not exceeded.
lIl OERIPO1-ZV-TPO1 I Rev. 14 l Page 5of24 Offsite Dose Calculations 3.9 If multiple release paths are indicated by elevated radiological monitor readings, then calculate each pathway and sum result. (Example: Two S/G Tube Ruptures with two stuck open PORV's results in the following - Calculate Main Steam Line Monitors RT-8046 and RT-8049 and sum results).
