SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION A A INTRODUCTION The emergency preparedness program at the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (called the Station) is designed in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 50.47 and the guidelines of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as established in NUREG-0654/Federal Emergency Management Agency Report-1, Rev. 1. The Station is operated and managed by the STP Nuclear Operating Company, acting as Project Manager on behalf of NRG South Texas LP, The City Public Service Board of San Antonio (CPS), and the City of Austin Texas (COA) under the South Texas Project Operations Agreement. The emergency preparedness program at the Station is concerned with hypothetical accidents that may occur at the Station that could potentially have an impact on the health and safety of the general public, Station employees, vendors, and visitors and/or protection of the environment.

A.1 Overall Objective The overall objective of the emergency preparedness program is to provide planned actions and training which will mitigate consequences of a wide variety of accidents including response to a hostile action based event. Wide ranges of possible accident scenarios are used for a training basis following the guidelines established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Emergency Preparedness Planning has been developed to ensure an adequate level of preparedness for, and effective responses to, emergencies associated with the Station. The Emergency Plan (called the Plan) applies to emergency situations at the Station which involve actual or potential concerns for the safety of the general public or Station personnel.

The Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing and Administrative Procedures are designed to:

Establish and define an Emergency Response Organization for dealing with the impact of the emergency;

Provide for the protection of the health and safety of the general public;

Provide a means of quickly identifying an accident condition and declaring the required emergency classification; E-PLAN\SEC-A Page 1 of 9 Revision ICN 20-16 06/16/14

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION A

Describe the necessary notification of Station personnel, local and State officials, the Emergency Planning Zone population, the media, and the Federal authorities and others as appropriate;

Provide guidance on protective action recommendations to be made to the local and State governments;

Provide guidance for onsite and offsite radiological surveys, dose assessments; and,

Describe the techniques required for handling contaminated injured personnel.

A.2 Interfacing Plans, Procedures & Letters of Agreement The emergency response planning and preparedness program supporting the Station is contained in three separate, but interrelated plans. These plans are the State of Texas Emergency Management Plan, the Emergency Management Plan for Matagorda County, Bay City and the City of Palacios, and the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station Emergency Plan. These Plans contain coordinated emergency response planning and preparedness instructions for events which may result in a release of radioactive material into the environs around the Station which could result in radiological exposures to the general public that exceed the Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guidelines. Each Plan has been prepared by the respective user and is coordinated as appropriate with the other Plans. In addition to radiological emergency planning, the Plans for the State of Texas and Matagorda County address supplemental planning programs for emergency response. The State of Texas Emergency Management Plan and Matagorda County Emergency Management Plan are in controlled file status at the Station's Operations Document Control Center.

The Station Emergency Plan contains the emergency response planning and preparedness activities for those functions that are the responsibility of the Station. These responsibilities include making emergency notifications and providing station status information to Federal, State, and local authorities and establishing supplemental support through Letters of Agreement with support organizations. Refer to Sections B.4 and B.5 for Federal, State, local, and private sector organizations that will provide supplemental support to the Station in accordance with Letters of Agreement or contract. Current signature copies of all letters of agreement are maintained in the Emergency Response Division's correspondence file.

The Station Emergency Plan outlines the policies, activities, and responsibilities of Station personnel and offsite support organizations to be used in the event of an emergency at the Station. The Plan is further supplemented by the Station Emergency Response E-PLAN\SEC-A Page 2 of 9 Revision ICN 20-14 12/12/13

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION A administrative and implementing procedures. The administrative procedures address the maintenance and surveillance of the Emergency Response Program. The implementing procedures implement the Emergency Plan by describing:

Detailed actions to be taken by individuals responding to emergency conditions.

AND

The details addressing Emergency Action Levels, emergency classification, the notification process, dose calculation methodology, activation/staffing of the Emergency Response Facilities, and site personnel accountability.

Attachment 2 provides a listing of the Emergency Plan cross referenced to the Implementing Procedures.

In addition to the Emergency Plan implementing and administrative Procedures, additional Station procedures will be utilized and implemented during response to a declared emergency. These procedures are:

Emergency Operating Procedures - These procedures provide instructions to Control Room personnel for coping with abnormal and emergency conditions;

Chemistry, Radiochemistry and Station Radiation Protection Procedures - These procedures provide instructions for instrument operation, performing surveys, analyzing samples and providing guidance for the monitoring and decontamination of personnel. These procedures also define administrative controls and procedures for the use of radiological monitoring devices, protective clothing and equipment, and prescribed radiological control limits and procedures; and

Security Procedures - These procedures provide instructions for Station security, access control, and onsite protective measures taken by security personnel, including actions taken during hostile action based events.

Security Related Off Normal Plant Operating Procedures. These procedures provide instructions for protective measures to be taken by Operations and plant personnel during a hostile action based event.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION A A.4 Day-To-Day Operation The South Texas Project recognizes the importance of proper day-to-day operation of the Station. To accomplish this, the Station considered human factors and engineering in the Control Room design, established symptomatic Emergency Operating Procedures, established a systematic approach to training, and provided an effective Emergency Response Organization composed of qualified personnel.

A.5 Station Description The Station consists of two 3853 megawatt thermal Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor Nuclear Steam Supply electrical generating units. The units are essentially independent with separate Control Rooms. The site sits on a land area of approximately 12,000 acres, with a cooling reservoir utilizing 7000 acres of site property. The Station facilities occupy approximately 65 acres of the property. Figure A-1 identifies the location of the Station within Matagorda County. Figures G-1 and G-4 illustrate the site layout.

A.6 Station Location The Station is located entirely in south-central Matagorda County, west of the Colorado River, approximately 89 air miles southwest of Houston, Texas, 12 air miles north-northeast of Palacios, and approximately 14 air miles north of the Gulf of Mexico.

Matagorda County is located on a coastal plain rising from sea level to approximately 70 feet above mean sea level. The County seat, Bay City, is one of two incorporated cites within the County. The County's economy is primarily based on ranching and farm land with the major industries being agriculture, chemical production, oil and gas production, electrical generation, and commercial fishing and fisheries.

A.7 Station Population Areas The area surrounding the Station is sparsely populated. Table A-1 contains the population distribution data within a ten (10) mile radius of the Station divided by sectors. The estimated population, based on a 2010 census, within the two (2) mile radius of the Station is 0, and within the five (5) mile radius is 355. The largest population concentration is approximately 12 miles north-northeast of the Station in Bay City, which is outside the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION D D EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM This section of the Plan describes the emergency classification system utilized to categorize an event occurring at the Station into one of four emergency classification levels.

D.1 Event Classifications The spectrum of possible emergency events at the Station is categorized into the following four (4) emergency classifications, based on the recommendations of NEI 99-01, Rev. 6:

Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors:

UNUSUAL EVENT

ALERT

SITE AREA EMERGENCY

GENERAL EMERGENCY The technique for evaluation and classification of emergencies at the Station, based on specific observable data or Control Room instrumentation, is described in the NRC approved STPEGS Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Document and performed in Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN01, Emergency Classification The severity of the emergency classification increases in the order they are listed above from an Unusual Event to a General Emergency. Since the severity of the emergency may change with time, an emergency may be upgraded from one classification level to another. Incidents will typically be classified in a lower emergency classification at first and then escalated to a higher classification if the situation deteriorates. Each of the four emergency classifications has characteristic Emergency Action Levels for various parameters. These levels consist of specific values of various Station parameters such as instrument indications and system status that are used to classify the emergency and to initiate notification and activation of the appropriate members of the Station Emergency Response Organization. After the initial declaration of an emergency classification, the individual serving the lead function (i.e.,

Emergency Director) will perform a continuing assessment of the situation to determine whether the emergency classification must be upgraded.

The rationale for the Unusual Event and Alert classifications is to provide early and 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. It should be noted that most of the listed initiating conditions for the Unusual Event classification are events that can be expected to be terminated quickly, and therefore, the notification process may occur after the event has been corrected. The Site Area Emergency classification reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring, but where major core damage is not indicated based on current information.

The General Emergency classification involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity.

E-PLAN\SEC-D Page 1 of 9 Revision ICN 20-18 01/28/16

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION D The philosophy taken for classification will always be to immediately declare the highest classification for which a set of limits have been attained (Emergency Action Levels). For example, a Site Area Emergency would be declared directly if the Emergency Action Level of that classification had been attained, even if the lower, Alert classification had not been previously declared. In utilizing the Emergency Action Level criteria as the basis for initiating emergency response activity, there may be instances when the Station Operations staff cannot determine quickly which of two action levels is appropriate for a particular occurrence. In those cases, the occurrence is treated as the higher level of classification and the appropriate response for that level is initiated.

Initial assessment of plant conditions and emergency classification are performed by shift operating personnel under the direction of the Shift Manager. The Shift Manager/Emergency Director shall declare the emergency class within 15 minutes from the time that information, which exceeds an EAL, is available.

D.2 Safety Features The Station is designed with structures, systems, and components to prevent or mitigate the consequences of postulated events that may result in the release of radioactive material into the environment that could produce doses in excess of established values. The Station is also designed with process, radiation monitoring, and analytical instrumentation to measure radioactivity in the Station system fluids, building atmospheres, and liquid and gaseous effluents. These structures, systems, and components are also described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.

The initiating conditions and events that determine the emergency classification are based on the actual or potential failure, malfunction, or improper operation of these structures, systems, and components. Some of the initiating conditions and events are directly identifiable by their existence, such as operation of a safety system or a fire, while others require observation of process and radiation monitoring instrumentation and/or radiochemical analysis.

Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN01, Emergency Classification, and Table D-1 provide initiating conditions that lead to Emergency Action Levels and associated emergency classification. Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN01, Emergency Classification, contains process parameter instrumentation and corresponding values, equipment status, and non-process conditions and events for identifying the initiating conditions and events that constitute the Emergency Action Level for each classification. The initiating conditions found under the various classifications are intended as general guidelines and represent the types of conditions that may be evaluated to confirm or modify, at any time, the emergency classification and action level response initiated by the Operations staff. The actual situation, however, from Unusual Event to General Emergency, involves many variables in going from plant instrumentation readouts of a pre-accident situation to significant radiological exposures E-PLAN\SEC-D Page 2 of 9 Revision ICN 20-11 06/20/12

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION D to the public. Such readings may usefully serve as conservative criteria for determining when to mobilize various emergency organizations, but final decisions to notify and alert the public utilizing the Prompt Notification System are the decisions of the local and State governmental officials.

Station process emergency conditions and events are confirmed and mitigated by use of Emergency Operating Procedures. These procedures are based on guidelines developed by the Westinghouse Owners Group and require the monitoring of critical safety functions and a diagnostic evaluation to classify the emergency.

Non-process emergency conditions and events are confirmed as required by the use of specific Station procedures or physical confirmation.

Station procedures contain the specific instrumentation, equipment status, and non-process conditions and events that are used to establish the emergency classification.

D.3 Emergency Classifications The following subsections describe each emergency classification. The descriptions contained in these subsections are not intended to be totally descriptive nor all-inclusive. The Emergency Director will declare an appropriate emergency classification when, in his judgment, the Station status warrants.

D.3.1 Unusual Event Classification Unusual Event is the least severe of the four classes of emergency, in that events are in process or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the station or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.

This classification includes those situations which, unless complicated by other factors, pose no harm to the public but for which it is prudent to notify Station personnel, State, local, and Federal officials to provide them with current information on unusual events which are occurring or have occurred at the Station.

Events in this classification will initiate activation of the Emergency Notification and Response System (ENRS) to notify Emergency Response Organization (ERO)

Personnel. This is an information only notification and does not require activation of Emergency Facilities.

E-PLAN\SEC-D Page 3 of 9 Revision ICN 20-11 06/20/12

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION D D.3.2 Alert Classification The Alert classification includes events that are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the station or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. This emergency classification includes those situations for which it is prudent to notify Station personnel, and State, Local, and Federal officials in order to assure that emergency personnel are available to respond should the situation become more serious. These situations, unless upgraded to a more severe emergency classification, pose no threat to the public but confirmatory radiological monitoring by the State may be appropriate in order to verify that no harm to the public has occurred.

Events in this classification will initiate activation of the Technical Support Center and Operations Support Center. The Emergency Operations Facility and the Joint Information Center shall be staffed as a precautionary action and may be activated at the discretion of the Emergency Director. The personnel in the Emergency Operations Facility act in a support function to the Technical Support Center. The Emergency Operations Facility Dose Projection capability is activated at an Alert.

Any Emergency Response Facility may be activated at the discretion of the Emergency Director.

D.3.3 Site Area Emergency Classification The Site Area Emergency classification includes events that are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of station functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary. This emergency classification includes those situations for which it is prudent to notify Station personnel, State, County, and Federal officials to allow emergency response facilities to be manned and personnel required for evacuation of near site areas to prepare and stage should the situation become more serious.

E-PLAN\SEC-D Page 4 of 9 Revision ICN 20-11 06/20/12

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION D Situations classified under the Site Area Emergency classification are those for which it may be prudent to provide early warning to the general public within the ten (10) mile Emergency Planning Zone to provide an increased state of readiness should the situation become more serious.

Although Protective Action Recommendation are not necessarily required, declaration of a Site Area Emergency will require initiation of emergency response actions by the Station personnel and the State and County authorities.

D.3.4 General Emergency Classification The General Emergency is the most severe emergency classification defined in this Plan. The General Emergency classification includes events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. This emergency classification includes those situations for which it is prudent to notify Station personnel, State, County, and Federal officials to allow the cognizant organizations to take predetermined protective actions, such as shelter or evacuation of the public, in order to minimize the potential for radiological exposure of the public. For these situations, it is prudent to provide early warning to the population within the ten (10) mile Emergency Planning Zone to allow the public to take any necessary protective actions.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION F F EMERGENCY ACTIONS AND MEASURES This section of the Plan describes the actions to be taken and the organization required to mitigate the emergency commensurate with each classification.

The planning, training, and communications for Station and offsite personnel, including the general public, are established for each classification of emergency. The personnel, the organizations, and the expertise required to manage each classification of emergency are different.

The resources established for the most severe classification are available for the other three classified events. Personnel required for the composition of the Emergency Response Organization will come primarily from Station personnel who are specifically trained for the positions that they are to fill. The persons requested to staff the Emergency Response Facilities will normally assume emergency responsibilities that are directly related to their normal Station duties. Assignment to the Emergency Response Organization is described in Station Procedure 0PGP05-ZV-0003, Emergency Response Organization. The relief and turnover of Emergency Response Organization position responsibilities will be accomplished in accordance with Emergency Response Procedures. Relief staff will possess the required qualifications and training, or will be appointed/assigned by the Emergency Director. The Shift Manager will maintain the position of Emergency Director until relieved by the Technical Support Center Manager or Emergency Operations Facility Director. Responding Emergency Response Organization personnel will assume positions from the onshift emergency workers after turnover briefings. A description of the Station Emergency Response Organization is contained in Section C of this Plan.

F.1 Initiating Actions In an emergency, immediate response actions are directed toward mitigating the consequences of the event in a manner that will afford protection to Station personnel and the general public. Once corrective actions have restored the Station to a safe, stable condition, recovery actions may be initiated. Recovery actions are fully discussed in Section L of this Plan. The Station is responsible for performing recovery measures to restore the Station to normal operating conditions.

In the beginning minutes of a declared emergency, many actions are initiated. The Plant Operations staff begins immediate steps to restore the Station to a stable condition in accordance with approved Station Emergency Operating Procedures. Offsite protective action recommendations are issued at a General Emergency Declaration. Radiological surveys are started as needed. The Onshift Emergency Response Organization assumes the Station emergency positions as required.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION H H ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT This section of the Plan describes the techniques, methods and procedures for the initial and long-term assessment of the declared emergency classification at the Station. At the first indication of abnormal conditions, initial assessments are performed. Necessary actions are then taken by the onsite plant staff to classify the emergency, mitigate the conditions, recommend offsite protective actions, and initiate the appropriate emergency response action. When notified that an abnormal condition exists, the Shift Manager is responsible for making the immediate assessments, classifying the event, and initiating notifications. Offsite protective action recommendations are included on the notification form in accordance with Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN02, Notifications to Offsite Agencies.

An initial protective action recommendation is included in the Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-SH01, Shift Manager, and 0ERP01-ZV-IN07, Offsite Protective Action Recommendations.

If the situation dictates, the Shift Manager may activate the Station's Emergency Response Organization. When activated, the Station Emergency Response Organization personnel perform accident assessment activities and the Emergency Director determines appropriate offsite protective action recommendations.

The long-term or continuing accident assessment is performed by the Station Emergency Response Organization. The Station Emergency Response Organization formulates recommended protective actions and implements long-term offsite monitoring (radiological data gathered from the plume exposure pathway is analyzed and communicated to the Station). Monitoring teams systematically monitor the onsite and offsite environs using the functional plant instrumentation and portable instruments, as necessary. Assessment continues for the duration of the event and Recovery. Federal, State, and County emergency organizations will be notified for assistance as required. The radiological assessment procedures used by the Station Emergency Response Organization include 0ERP01-ZV-IN06, Radiological Exposure Guidelines, 0ERP01-ZV-TP01, Offsite Dose Calculations, and 0ERP01-ZV-IN07, Offsite Protective Action Recommendations.

The criteria for Emergency Action Levels used to classify an emergency are incorporated in 0ERP01-ZV-IN01, Emergency Classification to assist the Shift Manager in recognizing and declaring the appropriate emergency classification. The instrumentation available to the Shift Manager to perform this assessment is described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for the Station.

E-PLAN\SEC-H Page 1 of 10 Revision ICN 20-8 12/03/09

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION H H.1 Assessment Resources The following resources are available for detection/assessment of events:

H.1.1 Fire Detection Systems The fire detection equipment, alarms, and suppression equipment are described in Section 9.5 of the Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report and in the Station Fire Hazard Analysis Report. In general, standpipe and hose systems, together with portable extinguishers, are provided in all buildings throughout the Station, except the demineralizer building.

The instrument is capable of providing time history acceleration data. The appropriate trigger condition will be selected to start data capture into solid-state memory or removable memory cards for later analysis. Settings for the instruments pre-event memory and length of time that data is recorded will be selected so that the significant ground motion associated with the earthquake is recorded. The recorded information can be analyzed and displayed using a personal computer and software supplied with the machine. This software will display the measured response spectrum to be compared with the Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE) and Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) response spectrum. The seismic instrument is located at the -37 E-PLAN\SEC-H Page 2 of 10 Revision ICN 20-3 05/26/05

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION H foot level in the Unit 1 containment building tendon access gallery. This location has an existing calculated structural response spectrum.

H.1.3 Plant Process Instrumentation The plant process instrumentation consists of various pressure, temperature, and level indicators of the Reactor Protection System and the Engineered Safety Feature System.

Instruments which provide information to the Plant Operations Staff for monitoring conditions in the reactor, reactor coolant system, and containment, and specific instrumentation designations and ranges are listed in the Station Technical Specifications. These instruments provide information necessary for the rapid assessment of emergency conditions within the Station.

Containment pressure;

Emergency Core Cooling System activation;

Pressurizer pressure;

Steam generator pressure and levels; and,

Reactor coolant temperature.

Additionally, the instrumentation provides data in the Control Room, Technical Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility via the Emergency Response Facilities Data Acquisition and Display System.

H.1.4 Liquid Radiation Monitor A liquid radiation monitor is provided for gross failed fuel detection. The monitor obtains a continuous sample from the reactor coolant system and activates an alarm on the Radiation Monitoring System if a predetermined activity level is reached.

The monitor is described in Section 11.0 of the Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.

H.1.5 Radiation Monitoring System The Station has a system for monitoring radioactivity throughout the Station. This system is called the Radiation Monitoring System and consists of area and E-PLAN\SEC-H Page 3 of 10 Revision ICN 20-3 05/26/05

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION H process/effluent radiological monitoring instrumentation. More information on the Radiation Monitoring System can be found in Section J of this Plan and is described in detail in Section 12.3 of the Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.

H.1.6 Meteorological System The Station has two permanent meteorological towers near site for the analysis of current Station area meteorological data. The primary tower is a 60-meter (196.9 feet) tower, instrumentation, and computerized data output. The primary tower instrumentation includes sensors to measure wind direction, wind speed, air temperature, dew point, solar radiation, precipitation, and calculated differential temperatures between elevations. Data from the primary tower is relayed to the Station. This data is displayed by the Integrated Computer System (ICS/ERFDADS) and the Control Room meteorological instruments Table H-1 provides details on instrumentation and elevations of primary meteorological instrumentation.

The backup system consists of a 10-meter (32.8 feet) tower with similar but fewer instruments to measure air temperature, wind speed, and wind direction.

Data from either tower can be fed by independent digital processors to the Control Rooms, Technical Support Centers, Emergency Operations Facility, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and State and County offices through direct dial modem communications.

Weather forecasts are available from the National Weather Service by telephone.

The Station has the option of using contracted commercial weather service or the National Weather Service.

H.1.7 Plant Liquid Systems Analyses of plant liquid systems may be performed to help ascertain the nature of problems detected by other instrumentation (prior to an emergency). The samples will be collected and analyzed in accordance with Station Chemistry and Radiochemistry procedures.

E-PLAN\SEC-H Page 4 of 10 Revision ICN 20-3 05/26/05

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION H H.1.8 Gaseous Effluent Radiation Monitoring System The Gaseous Effluent Radiation Monitoring System is based on the Radiation Monitoring System multiple channel analysis. Each channel consists of a sampling mechanism, one, two, or three chambers for particulate, iodine, and/or noble gas collection and detection, associated with auxiliary equipment and a local microprocessor. The system is capable of monitoring particulate activity and iodine and noble gas concentrations, in accident and normal ranges. Location of detectors for the process/effluent Radiation Monitoring System is provided in table form in Section 11.0 of the Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.

H.2 Objectives of Onsite and Offsite Monitoring The primary objective of the Onsite and Offsite Emergency Response Teams is to rapidly survey areas in order to determine the extent and distribution of radioactive material following an incident. The initial onsite and offsite surveys are important in the decision process since the extent and type(s) of protective actions will be based upon data reported by the survey teams.

Data provided to the Radiological Director from the field monitoring teams shall be compared to information supplied to the dose projection and assessment area by any Department of State Health Services teams that may be dispatched into the area. Data collected before Texas Department of Health teams are in the field shall be provided to the Department of State Health Services by the Radiological Director as soon as possible.

The task of each Offsite Field Team is to collect air samples and survey data so as too transmit information and results to the appropriate response center (i.e., the Control Room, Technical Support Center, and Emergency Operations Facility). 0ERP01-ZV-TP02, Offsite Field Teams provide process and procedural requirements for Offsite Field Teams.

Information obtained by the Offsite Field Team is transmitted to the Offsite Field Team Supervisor as appropriate to the phase of the response, via radio contact. After the initial urgency of the post-accident situation has relaxed, subsequent surveys will be performed to obtain more information that is accurate.

The systems and equipment described in this section and the personnel resources described in Section B and C of this Plan allow for continuous monitoring and assessment of abnormal radiological conditions.

Within minutes of the declaration of an emergency, monitoring of the plant systems is established to assess potential releases or the extent of an actual release and to provide E-PLAN\SEC-H Page 5 of 10 Revision ICN 20-3 05/26/05

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION H guidance for appropriate protective measures. This includes the capability to deploy an Offsite Field Team. Offsite Field Teams may be deployed after declaration of an Alert or higher emergency classification with an effluent monitor indication of a higher than normal release of radioactive materials or an unmonitored release. Field monitoring data and samples shall be collected and analyzed per normal Station Radiation Protection procedures and Radiological Environmental Monitoring procedures. Data from Federal, State, and County organizations are coordinated with the Station through their representatives at the Station Emergency Operations Facility with the Radiological Director.

The principal early concerns are thyroid dose commitment, due to inhalation of radioactive iodines, and exposure from immersion in a cloud of radioactive noble gases. Criteria for taking protective actions such as evacuation are expressed in terms of these two variables.

Following this, efforts will normally be directed toward the evaluation of possible long-term exposures from ground deposition and various food chain pathways. Monitoring will continue throughout the duration of the emergency classification to allow for offsite protective action recommendation escalation, recovery or termination (with concurrence of County, State, and NRC organizations) as dictated by environmental sampling results.

Offsite Field Teams may be deployed to take dose rate readings and iodine concentrations in accordance with 0ERP01-ZV-TP02, Offsite Field Team. The Radiological Director will provide direct input to the Emergency Director concerning the need to make protective action recommendations to offsite agencies.

Environmental radiological impact analysis is available using computerized dose assessment models or equivalent. This is more adequately detailed in Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-TP01, Offsite Dose Calculations.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATIN EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION I I PROTECTIVE RESPONSE This section of the Plan describes the protective response actions for the protection of site and offsite personnel in the plume exposure pathway. This Emergency Plan is applicable to the South Texas Project Electric Generating Station and the Emergency Planning Zone within the 10-mile and 50-mile radius of the Station. Maps depicting the 10 and 50 mile Emergency Planning Zones are included as Figures I-1 and I-2.

I.1 Onsite Personnel Notification Onsite personnel are notified of an emergency via the Station Public Address Paging System. The Emergency Director, or his designee, will announce the emergency classification and other pertinent data relating to the emergency classification to Station personnel using the Station Public Address Paging System on site. This system is described in Section E of this Plan. Persons within the Protected Area are notified of the emergency classification via the Public Address Paging System. Notification of personnel located onsite but outside the Protected Area is accomplished through emergency sirens, Public Address announcements, Wireless Communication Device activation, and by Security Force personnel. To comply with emergency classification and severity, evacuation within the Protected Area will be initiated for non-essential personnel at a Site Area Emergency classification or if not already performed at a General Emergency classification (optional at an Unusual Event or Alert). The sounding of the alarms over the Public Address Paging System occurs for both classifications. Inside plant buildings, where hearing is difficult due to high ambient noise levels, flashing lights are used to supplement the Public Address Paging System.

I.2 Assembly and Accountability Protected Area assembly and accountability is initiated at the Emergency Director's discretion or when either a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency has been declared. Protected Area assembly and accountability must be initiated when a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency is involved. Appropriate actions are implemented by 0ERP01-ZV-IN04, Assembly and Accountability and in Section F.3 of this Plan.

I.3 Site Evacuation Site evacuation will be performed in accordance with 0ERP01-ZV-IN05, Site Evacuation and Section F.5 of this Plan, after assembly and accountability is completed.

E-PLAN\SEC-I Page 1 of 8 Revision ICN 20-14 12/12/13

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATIN EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION I I.4 Onsite Shelter The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) monitors hazards and appropriate protective actions are taken for emergency workers. Station nonessential personnel shelter instructions are contained in Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN05, Site Evacuation and Section F.6 of this Plan.

I.5 Protective Action for Onsite Personnel during Hostile Action Based (HAB) Events Protective actions taken during a hostile action is intended to protect onsite personnel. This includes personnel necessary to safely shut down the reactor, emergency responders necessary to implement the site emergency plan, and other onsite workers.

As appropriate, the following measures may be taken by site management:

Evacuation of personnel from target buildings, including security personnel;

Protected area evacuation via security gates;

Dispersal of licensed operators;

Sheltering of personnel in structures away from potential site targets;

Arrangements for accounting for personnel after the attack I.6 Protective Action Recommendations The Station is designed and equipped with a series of safety systems engineered to meet Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 100 criteria for reactor safety. The Station recognizes that in any accident situation, it is prudent and logical to make every effort to reduce and minimize exposure of the public to radioactive materials and radiation. This is accomplished by issuing offsite protective action recommendations when plant conditions indicate a potential for release of radioactive material or if a release is occurring or has occurred. The Protective Action Guidelines for the general public for thyroid dose due to inhalation from a passing plume and exposure to airborne radioactive material, as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency, are five (5) rem Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent and one (1) rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent respectively.

Additional information is provided in Addendum I-1.

Recommendations for protective actions for the general public will originate from the Control Room, the Technical Support Center, or the Emergency Operations Facility (depending on facility activation) based on plant conditions and/or based on data derived from offsite dose assessment or actual field monitoring measurements. Emergency E-PLAN\SEC-I Page 2 of 8 Revision ICN 20-14 12/12/13

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATIN EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION I Response Procedures establishing these methodologies are 0ERP01-ZV-TP01, Offsite Dose Calculations and 0ERP01-ZV-IN07 Offsite Protective Action Recommendations.

These procedures establish methods for determining projected dose to the public at risk.

Recommendations will be made in accordance with agreements made with the Department of State Health Services. Whenever possible, message formats provided in the Emergency Response Procedure 0ERP01-ZV-IN02, Notifications to Offsite Agencies, in accordance with Section E of this Plan will be utilized. The implementing procedures relating to Protective Action Guidelines assure that the recommendations are determined through an approved process. The Emergency Director shall approve Offsite protective action recommendations.

I.7 Public Notification In the event public notification is required, both transient and resident population within the ten mile Emergency Planning Zone will be initially notified through the Prompt Notification System as referenced and described in Section E of this Plan and by the Matagorda County officials. Additional notification and information will be provided to the transient and resident population as well as the general public outside the ten mile Emergency Planning Zone through the Emergency Alert System. The National Weather Service, radio stations KMKS FM, Bay City and KKHA FM are the local sources for the Station nuclear emergency response. Information brochures and other public information documents describing notification, protective actions and general radiological education are provided by mailing and by general distribution to residents and transients within the ten mile Emergency Planning Zone. Matagorda County will issue messages similar to those provided in the Matagorda County Emergency Management Plan describing the incident and recommended public protective actions.

I.7.1 Public Shelter and Evacuation Shelter and Evacuation recommendations from the Station and/or the Department of State Health Services are considered, and appropriate actions are determined and conducted by Matagorda County officials. Pertinent information from the evacuation time estimate1 has been incorporated into Matagorda County emergency procedures.

The evacuation time estimate study is maintained by and on file in the Station Emergency Response Division.

I.7.2 Special Needs Groups Individuals with special needs will be accommodated as per Matagorda County plans and procedures.

E-PLAN\SEC-I Page 3 of 8 Revision ICN 20-15 05/29/14

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATIN EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION I I.8 Environmental Monitoring Points In the event of an emergency, the permanent air sampling stations may be utilized for long term evaluation concerning airborne releases.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATIN EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION I ADDENDUM I-1 Page 1 of 2 RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR THE PUBLIC 1.0 Recognizing, in an accident situation, that it is prudent and logical to make every effort to reduce and minimize public exposure, the Station will make protective action recommendations to the State and County authorities. These recommendations are to assist the public officials in protecting the public in the Plume Exposure Pathway. It should be noted that the responsibility of final decision to implement offsite protective action recommendations made by the Station rests solely with Matagorda County authorities and respective authorities in other affected counties.

Detailed instructions to implement protective actions will also be disseminated by County authorities.

2.0 The protective actions for offsite areas are discussed or presented in the State and County Emergency Management Plans. The State and County Plans have adopted the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Protective Action Guides for initiating actions to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a nuclear power plant accident. These are the same guides used by the Station in developing their protective action recommendation to the State and County authorities. In addition, the Station has developed protective action recommendations based on plant conditions exclusive of actual or projected radiological exposures.

3.0 There are various types of actions that can be taken to protect the public. These include shelter, evacuation, access control, controlling distribution of food, water, milk, and livestock, and individual protective actions.

4.0 United States Environmental Protection Agency Protective Action Guidelines serve as the basis for offsite protective actions recommendations. The type, amount, and duration of the release source term, and the potential for radiological release based on plant conditions must also be considered when recommending protective actions.

5.0 Projected or measured doses that the public may be or is subject to receiving are correlated to protective action guides. Dose projections and measured dose are not prerequisites for issuance of a protective action recommendation.

E-PLAN\SEC-I Page 7 of 8 Revision ICN 20-14 12/12/13

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATIN EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION I ADDENDUM I-1 Page 2 of 2 RECOMMENDED PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR THE PUBLIC 6.0 The Emergency Director has the authority to make protective action recommendations and approve their release to governmental authorities. Protective action recommendations originate from the Control Room, Technical Support Center, or the Emergency Operations Facility based upon data derived from or received from assessment of plant conditions, radiological monitoring computer systems, field measurements, or process instrument readings. The Emergency Plan procedures relating to Protective Action Guides assure that recommendations are determined through an approved process. Emergency Plan Procedures, like the Plan, are based on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents Environmental Protection Agency 400-R-92-001, revised May, 1992.

7.0 The Station agrees with the position of the State of Texas not to use radioiodine blocking drugs such as potassium iodide for the general public. It is the State's responsibility to stockpile and acquire the agent and disseminate it if it is to be distributed to the general public during an accident. The Station is responsible for maintaining and providing to the Department of State Health Services upon request, a quantity of potassium iodide sufficient for State and local emergency workers including any mobility impaired or institutionalized members of the general public whose evacuation could not be readily effected.

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 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months 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.

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION L L RECOVERY AND RE-ENTRY This section of the Plan discusses the requirements for recovery and reentry into evacuated areas of the Station following an emergency condition.

L.1 Recovery Responsibility and Initiating Conditions The Station Emergency Response Organization is responsible for the overall coordination and management of the recovery effort and for the technical and administrative services, construction, design work, scheduling/planning, quality control/assurance, and vendor support necessary during the initial stages of the recovery phase.

The Emergency Director has full authority to take immediate and decisive steps to mitigate the consequences of any nuclear emergency and for protection of the health and safety of the public. The Station Emergency Response Organization's effort during emergencies is viewed as a long term effort requiring the Station Emergency Response Organization to be present 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months per day.

The Station Emergency Response Organization is composed of, or can incorporate as needed, all the necessary technical, administrative, managerial, and support personnel that may be required for recovery. The organization is capable of 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months per day sustained operation by providing that each emergency position has the capability of being filled by any of three normal organization personnel.

The Emergency Director shall make the decision to proceed from the emergency phase to the recovery phase (with concurrence of State, County and NRC agencies if a Site Area or General Emergency was declared). The Station Emergency Response Organization's responsibilities extend into the Recovery phase and Recovery organization until the Emergency Director (with concurrence from State, County and NRC agencies if a Site Area or General Emergency was declared) decides to terminate the event and return to the normal Station organization.

The Recovery Phase can be entered when all the following conditions are met:

The emergency conditions no longer exist and the plant is in a stable, shutdown, and safe condition.

The potential for uncontrolled releases of radioactive material to the environment no longer exists.

E-PLAN\SEC-L Page 1 of 4 Revision ICN 20-20 6/27/18

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EMERGENCY PLAN SECTION L

Major repairs, if required, have been identified in order to return the plant to operation.

If the event was either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency, concurrence from the NRC, State, and County has been obtained.

L.2 Recovery Conduct Accounting for the particular situation, the Recovery phase will be conducted to restore the Station to normal operating conditions. Some emergency classifications (i.e., Unusual Event, Alert) may require only brief or no recovery actions where more severe classifications (i.e., Site Area Emergency, General Emergency) may necessitate complex recovery actions.

L.3 Recovery Phase In general, the Recovery phase will consist of:

Logical evaluation of the cause and effect of the emergency;

Planning necessary activities to place the Station in a configuration ready for restart;

Analysis of the exposures to Station personnel;

Analysis of effluent, and environmental data to quantify offsite consequences, if any;

Assembly of the Recovery Organization needed to expediently implement recovery; and,

Implementation of radiological controls for reentry into affected areas by posting radiation, contamination, and airborne radioactive material warning signs and entry requirements and stay times based on current surveys.
