NOC-AE-17003490 Page 1 of 7

1. Description of Change:

Emergency Plan Sections B and J were modified to reflect relocation of the Bay City Offsite Reception Center from the McAllister Middle School Campus to the MRMC Wellness and Rehabilitation Center.

2. 10 CFR 50.54(q) Summary of Analysis Evaluation change:

The physical size of the new Bay City location is adequate for setup of equipment and provides space for processing the expected number of evacuees. The equipment and capabilities for registering and monitoring evacuees at the new location will be equivalent to or better than those provided at the old location. Following this change adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency remain in place. The distance of the proposed location is approximately 2.5 nautical miles further from the station than the existing location. The station has a FEMA approved alternative approach to satisfy NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, standard II.J.10.h which requires an alternative Reception Center location in Palacios.

The change has been evaluated and the determination made that:

  • The change does not affect the licensing basis.
  • The change does not affect any function or element of a Planning Standard and does not affect an Emergency Preparedness commitment.
  • The change does not affect the meaning or intent of the procedure, facilities or equipment, or any processes.

Based upon the evaluation, the changes do not represent a Reduction in Effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

NOC-AE-17003490 Page 2 of 7

1. Description of Change:

Emergency Plan Section B, deleted the requirement to maintain Letters of Agreement with local radio stations KMKS and KKHA. Emergency Plan Section E modified to add generic verbiage for how members of the public receive information. Previous revision referenced KMKS FM Radio.

Current revision references other local Public Radio Station.

2. 10 CFR 50.54(q) Summary of Analysis Evaluation for change:

The Stations Primary Alert System Provider was changed from local Radio Station KMKS to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Emergency Plan Change ICN 20-15. The NWS serves as the primary Emergency Alert System source for the Station by having the capability of providing 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day Emergency Alert Service. Local Radio Stations are required to rebroadcast emergency messages as mandated by Federal Communication Commission requirements.

Administrative and physical means for notifying local, State, and Federal officials, including prompt notification of the public, remain in place. Matagorda County is responsible for broadcast of Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages, activation of the Prompt Notification System and will continue to maintain applicable Letter of Agreement with Local Radio Stations regarding their participation as a supplemental ENS source. The proposed change meets the design requirements of FEMA-REP-10, Guide for Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants and is compliant with the stations FEMA-approved Alert Notification System design report.

The change has been evaluated and the determination made that:

  • The change does not affect the licensing basis.
  • The change does not affect any function or element of a Planning Standard and does not affect an Emergency Preparedness commitment.
  • The change does not affect the meaning or intent of the procedure, facilities or equipment, or any processes.

Matagorda County is responsible for establishing and operation of Reception Centers. The American Red Cross may provide assistance to Matagorda County when requested. The equipment and capabilities for registering and monitoring evacuees at reception centers will be unaffected. The reception centers will continue to provide adequate staff, methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency. American Red Cross will continue to participate during drills and exercises in the Matagorda County Emergency Operations Center. Training will be provided to the American Red Cross upon their request.

American Red Cross will maintain responsibility of congregate care facilities and provide support to Matagorda County as requested.

The change has been evaluated and the determination made that:

  • The change does not affect the licensing basis.
  • The change does not affect any function or element of a Planning Standard and does not affect an Emergency Preparedness commitment.
  • The change does not affect the meaning or intent of the procedure, facilities or equipment, or any processes.

1. Description of Change:

Emergency Plan Section C, Figure C-5 modified to reflect Joint Information Center organizational changes. These changes include removal of the following positions: Communications Technician Internet/Graphics Technician, Media Relations Technical Spokesperson and the Media Relations /

ANI Liaison.

2. 10 CFR 50.54(q) Summary of Analysis Evaluation for change:

The table below provides a summary of the primary function(s) for the positions removed and the remaining augmented ERO position which absorbed the function(s).

Eliminated Position Functions Proposed Function Owner (Tele)Communications Ensure functionality of telecommunications EOF Communications Technician equipment at JIC. Supervisor Ensure functionality of JIC public address system.

Internet/Graphics Monitor for STP (South Texas Project) Public Inquiry Staff Technician misinformation on the Internet.

Respond to PIER email inquiries Media Relations ANI Provide information regarding insurance Media Relations Staff Member Liaison issues until arrival of American Nuclear Insurers (ANI).

Interface with ANI representatives during JIC activation Media Relations Provide technical information to and assist Technical Support Liaison Technical Senior Staff Writer in checking news Spokesperson releases for technical accuracy.

Participate in technical Press Briefings/Press Conferences.

Assist with interpreting technical information.

  • (Tele) Communications Technician - The responsibilities of the Communications Technician were being duplicated by the Communications System Supervisor in the EOF.

With the co-location of the EOF and JIC facilities, the EOF Communications Supervisor can effectively absorb these responsibilities for both facilities with no impact on either facilitys functionality.

  • Internet/Graphics Technician - The responsibilities of the Internet/Graphics Technician are not needed or are being duplicated by the Public Inquiry staff. The Public Inquiry Staff can effectively absorb the responsibility to monitor for STP misinformation on the Internet.

PIER will no longer be used.

  • Media Relations ANI Liaison - The responsibility for interfacing with ANI can be effectively absorbed by a remaining member of the Media Relations Staff.
  • Media Relations Technical Spokesperson - The responsibilities of the Media Relations Technical Spokesperson are being duplicated by the Technical Support Liaison. The Technical Support Liaison can adequately address technical needs for the JIC with no impact on release of information to the public.

NOC-AE-17003490 Page 5 of 7 The cumulative effect of eliminating these four positions does not impact the JICs ability to disseminate information to the public or the ability to answer phone calls and address rumors.

The change has been evaluated and the determination made that:

  • The changes do not affect the licensing basis.
  • The changes do not affect any function or element of a Planning Standard and does not affect an Emergency Preparedness commitment.
  • The changes do not affect the meaning or intent of the procedure, facilities or equipment, or any processes.

Based upon the evaluation, the changes do not represent a Reduction in Effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

An electronic mobile application has also been created.

2. 10 CFR 50.54(q) Summary of Analysis Evaluation for change:

The pamphlet contains the same information that was previously included in the telephone book.

The minimum information identified in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1,Section II.G is contained in the pamphlets. This change was approved by FEMA Region 6. The pamphlets will be mailed to all permanent residents in the plume exposure EPZ, and will be made available in public areas for transient population. The information will continue to be reviewed and verified accurate on an annual basis. This change does not reduce the assurance that the permanent and transient adult population within the plume exposure EPZ has been given an adequate opportunity to become aware of the information.

The change has been evaluated and the determination made that:

  • The change does not affect the licensing basis.
  • The change does not affect any function or element of a Planning Standard and does not affect an Emergency Preparedness commitment.
  • The change does not affect the meaning or intent of the procedure, facilities or equipment, or any processes.
  • This procedure continues to comply with regulations.

Based upon the evaluation, the changes do not represent a Reduction in Effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION J J RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE CONTROL Management commitment for an effective Dose Control Program (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) necessitates that detailed radiation protection measures be established and utilized during emergency situations as well as normal operating periods at the Station. These measures are described in Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN06, Radiological Exposure Guidelines. A description of applicable radiation control measures are outlined in this section.

J.1 Personnel Exposure Monitoring The approved Station Radiation Protection Procedures provide the specific actions undertaken to determine and record individual occupational exposures on a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day basis.

The Radiological Director or his designee is responsible to ensure that all personnel entering the Station, including visitors, vendors, contractors, construction personnel, and employees, are properly monitored for exposure to ionizing radiation.

Allowable planned emergency exposures and accident exposures to individuals have been established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency. In all cases and events, administrative control and restriction of exposure to radiation will be monitored by the radiation protection staff in accordance with 0ERP01-ZV-IN06, Radiological Exposure Guidelines.

J.1.1 Emergency Exposure Guidelines Environmental Protection Agency-400-R-92-001, Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, is used to establish additional exposure guidelines for lifesaving actions and protection of property.

J.1.2 Emergency Exposure Limits All questions of radiation exposure limits for emergency workers above Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 20 limits will be directed to the Emergency Director. This individual has the nondelegable authority in an emergency to authorize volunteer emergency workers to receive exposures in excess of Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 20 limits. The methods of documenting the voluntary status of the workers are authorized in Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN06, Radiological Exposure Guidelines.

E-PLAN\SEC-J Page 1 of 8 Revision 20 05/01/02

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION J J.2 Measurement of Radiation Worker Exposure Twenty-four hour per day capabilities have been established for determining the exposure received by workers by utilization of the Radiation Protection staff. Radiation Protection personnel, under the guidance of the Radiological Manager, will issue dosimetry and maintain logs of activities. The Radiological Manager ensures the Emergency Director and Radiological Director are kept informed of the exposure of emergency responders.

J.3 Contamination Control and Preventive Measures Preventive measures will be taken to minimize direct exposure to or ingestion of radioactive materials. This will include timely processing of all solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes using the Station radioactive waste processing systems in accordance with established plant procedures or other waste processing systems as necessary. Other contamination control measures are described in detail in the Station's Radiation Protection Program, the Emergency Response Procedures, and are summarized as follows:

In order to avoid personnel contamination or the spread of contamination in the Station areas, contaminated areas will be designated and clearly identified. Access to these areas will be controlled and appropriate protective clothing will be specified to minimize personnel contamination and the spread of contamination. Limits for the use of protective clothing are specified in the Station Radiation Protection Procedures. Personnel and equipment leaving the controlled area are monitored to assure that the limits for contamination control are met. If personnel become contaminated, Station Radiation Protection operating procedures will be implemented.

In general, contaminated areas and materials are permitted to return to normal use when areas meet the Station Radiation Protection Program contamination limits. Some areas and equipment may be returned to service prior to achieving these limits. In such cases, special precautions and measures are taken to prevent personnel contamination and to limit the spread of contamination.

J.4 Drinking Water and Food Contamination Control Drinking water and food supplies are not allowed in contaminated or potentially contaminated areas. If the potential exists for food or water to become contaminated in normally clean areas, Radiation Protection personnel will perform appropriate surveys and sample analysis, respectively.

E-PLAN\SEC-J Page 2 of 8 Revision 20 05/01/02

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION J If contamination is found, appropriate actions will be taken based on the levels of contamination and its location.

J.4.1 Surveys of Emergency Response Facilities Radiological surveys of the emergency response facilities and the assembly area for habitability will be performed on a frequent basis. These surveys will include radiation levels and contamination and airborne radioactivity concentrations.

Drinking, smoking, and eating are prohibited during a radiological incident in areas where the potential for contamination exists.

J.4.2 Airborne Releases In the event of an airborne release of radioactive materials, samples will be collected by Station personnel, and State and other agencies. These samples are analyzed and the results recorded and reported to the Emergency Director and the Department of State Health Services for appropriate offsite protective action recommendation decisions.

J.4.3 Colorado River & Selected Wells Selected wells are analyzed for radioactivity as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program at the Station. Surface water from the Colorado River is sampled at several locations upstream and downstream of the Station's river discharge. These samples are analyzed for gross activity as part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.

J.5 Radiological Medical Considerations Responses to personnel injuries are in accordance with guidelines set forth in 0POP04-ZO-0004, Personnel Emergencies and 0PGP03-ZA-0106, Emergency Medical Response Plan.

Normally, in the event a personnel injury occurs in a Radiologically Controlled Area and the person requires offsite medical aid, the person will be taken to the Radiologically Controlled Area Access Control Point. The person is monitored for contamination and, if found to be below the levels for personnel contamination, the person is treated as a normal industrial accident and first aid will be supplied by Station medical assistance personnel. If additional treatment is required, the Station shall transport the person to the Matagorda Regional Medical Center or Palacios Community Medical Center for treatment.

Transportation will be provided by the site with Station medical staff in attendance or a contractor ambulance service.

E-PLAN\SEC-J Page 3 of 8 Revision ICN 20-8 12/03/09

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION J J.5.1 Personnel Contamination In the event, the person is contaminated above the levels for personnel contamination, reasonable efforts will be made to decontaminate the person at the Radiologically Controlled Area Access Control Point. If this can not be done due to the nature of the injury and/or hospitalization is required immediately, medical treatment and transportation to the hospital will take priority. The person will be placed in clean protective clothing or wrapped in a clean blanket time permitting, to minimize the spread of contamination.

J.5.2 Health Physics Supervision A Radiation Protection Technician will accompany the individual to the hospital.

Health Physics Supervision should meet the person at the hospital. The medical facility will be notified when a contaminated patient is being transported for treatment to allow for establishment of the radiological treatment area.

J.5.3 Hospital Procedures When the victim arrives at the medical facility, the staff of the hospital will follow their procedures to handle this type of injury. Radiation Protection personnel will conduct surveys to ensure that contamination levels are kept to a minimum and will monitor for contamination until cleanup has been satisfactorily completed.

0PGP05-ZV-0014 Rev. 16 Page 51 of 58 Emergency Response Activities Form 19 ENRS Test Page 1 of 4 1.0 Introduction This Emergency Notification and Response System (ENRS) test was developed to provide a means of verifying the ENRS software, global paging capability and message delivery system is performing as required. This test also provides a means of documenting the results, identifying, and correcting any deficiency with the system.

2.0 Objectives The objectives of the tests are:

2.1 Once every Eight years 2.1.1 Conduct and document an Off-Hours Call-Out of required ERO personnel. This test will verify the correct operation of the ENRS system and that the required Emergency Response Facility positions are filled in the required times.

2.2 Quarterly 2.2.1 Conduct and document an Off-Hours Call-In only drill to verify the correct operation of the ENRS system and the validity of the roster. The test includes activation of ENRS devices, message delivery and report generation of the results.

2.2.2 Verify the ENRS call out roster matches the Emergency Response Organization Roster as required by 0PGP05-ZV-0002, Emergency Response Activities Schedule, Section 4.6.

2.2.3 Verify the ENRS Backup call out roster matches the Emergency Response Organization Roster as required by 0PGP05-ZV-0002, Emergency Response Activities Schedule, Section 4.6.

2.3 Monthly 2.3.1 Verify that the Emergency Notification and Response System (ENRS) is capable of performing its function, including activation of ENRS devices, message delivery, and report generation of results. Typically the ENRS is tested weekly, and the test performed during the 3rd week of the month is used to document required testing frequency.

This form, when completed, SHALL be retained in accordance with the Document Type list.

0PGP05-ZV-0014 Rev. 16 Page 52 of 58 Emergency Response Activities Form 19 ENRS Test Page 2 of 4 2.4 Post Maintenance 2.4.1 Verify correct operation of the system after changes to an installed scenario or development of a new scenario. Correct operation would include activation of the electronic notification device with the correct response and code, delivery of correct verbal message, notification of the correct ERO positions, and report generation of the results.

3.0 Test Message An appropriate test message will be used depending upon the test, which clearly begins and ends with the statement This is only a Test. Drill messages will be similar but will depend upon the extent of play for the particular drill.

4.0 Evaluation The individual performing the test shall complete the appropriate section of the evaluation checklist. The completed checklist along with the ENRS Communicator Execution List Exception Report shall be used as objective evidence of completion. The completed checklist utilized to document the test objectives set forth in 0PGP05-ZV-0002, Emergency Response Activities Schedule, Section 2.0, Limitations, were addressed, and any subsequent corrective actions are identified.
