- 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.
- This STPEGS Emergency Plan continues to comply with regulations.
Based upon the evaluation, the changes do not represent a Reduction in Effectiveness of the Emergency Plan.

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.
- This STPEGS Emergency Plan continues to comply with regulations.

B.6 Emergency Organization The Emergency Preparedness program for the Station requires the coordinated response of several organizations. The Emergency Director is the key individual in the Station Emergency Response Organization. The Station Emergency Response Organization is described fully in Section C of this Plan.
B.6.1 Station Emergency Director The Emergency Director initiates the activation of the offsite Emergency Response Organizations by contacting the Texas Division of Emergency Management via the Department of Public Safety Offices in Pierce, Texas, the Matagorda County Sheriff's Office, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. All these organizations are staffed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to provide communications links for receiving notification of a radiological emergency. The Federal agencies which may be requested by the Station to provide assistance can be notified by contacting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on a dedicated communication link, the Emergency Notification System line.
B.6.2 State of Texas and Matagorda County The State of Texas and Matagorda County response is conducted in accordance with the following framework as presented in the State of Texas Emergency Management Plan and the Matagorda County Emergency Management Plan.
- The Texas Division of Emergency Management is responsible for coordinating state-level response and recovery activities during emergencies and disasters regardless of cause. The Department of State Health Services has been designated as the primary agency for radiological emergencies. The Department of Public Safety is the primary State agency for a hostile action based event. The Matagorda County Judge and the Mayors of Bay City and Palacios exercise overall authority for offsite protective actions and measures for the safety and protection of local personnel and property. Overall, direction and control of state response activities will be exercised by the Sub 2C Disaster District Committee Chairperson (Department of Public Safety highway patrol lieutenant) operating from the Emergency Operations Center located in Pierce. The Chairperson will be kept informed of conditions in a timely manner in order to facilitate state response and assistance. The Matagorda County E-PLAN\SEC-B Page 13 of 16 Revision ICN 20-16 06/16/14
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION B Emergency Operations Center is the direction and control point for county and city response activities for an emergency at the Station.
- The State is notified of an emergency at the Station by the Station's Emergency Director via a call to the Department of Public Safety Communication Center located at Disaster District Sub 2C, Pierce, Texas, on the dedicated ringdown telephone. The Communications Center at the Department of Public Safety, Pierce, will notify the Texas Division of Emergency Management of any emergency notification from the Station. The Governor and Chairperson of the Emergency Management Council are notified by the State Coordinator or the Texas Division of Emergency Management Duty Officer, depending on the severity of the situation. Notification of a station emergency is from the Texas Division of Emergency Management to the Texas Department of Health and in turn to the Department of State Health Services. The decision to activate the Radiological Response Team is based on the severity of the incident. The Station's Emergency Director initiates a declaration of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency. The Governor, by executive order or proclamation, may declare a state of disaster. The presiding officer of the governing body of a political subdivision may also declare a local state of disaster. A state of disaster condition activates disaster response, recovery, and rehabilitation aspects of the State Emergency Plan. The Matagorda County Sheriff's Office also has access to the dedicated ringdown telephone, and will be notified of an emergency classification at the Station when the Department of Public Safety Disaster District Sub 2C office is notified.
- When requested to assist in response and recovery efforts to radiation emergencies, personnel from other State of Texas Agencies will perform functions and activities as described in the State of Texas Emergency Management Plan Local officials shall provide notification to the various personnel in the Matagorda County Emergency Management Organization in accordance with County Procedures. The Matagorda County Sheriff is responsible to verify that notifications are made in accordance with details provided in the Matagorda County Emergency Management 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.
J.5.4 Contaminated Items Contaminated items belonging to the individuals will be returned to the Station for decontamination or disposal.
J.5.5 Radiological Surveys Radiation Protection personnel will perform radiological surveys and assist with establishing radiologically controlled area boundaries in the medical facilities.
J.6 Personnel Evacuation from Station

J.10 Radiation Monitoring System The Radiation Monitoring System monitors radioactivity in the station. This system, consisting of two subsystems, provides monitoring capability for area radiation and process/effluent stream radiation monitoring. The process/effluent Radiation Monitoring System is comprised of two smaller subsystems, the Liquid Monitoring System, and the Atmosphere Monitoring System. These Subsystems are described in Section H of this Plan and in the Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Section 9.0, 11.0, and 12.0.
The Radiation Monitoring System is designed to provide output in normal and emergency operating ranges and is designed to operate in emergency radiation fields.
J.10.1 Model Description The dose assessment models described in procedure 0ERP01-ZV-TP01, Offsite Dose Calculations, provides site specific estimates and predictions of atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion during and immediately after an airborne release.
The diffusion model used meets the criteria of a Class A model as defined in NUREG-0654/Federal Emergency Management Agency Report-1 and additionally can perform X/Q calculations, dose and dose rate projections, and deposition rates for the Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone.
