CNS Emergency Plan, Rev 2, dated January 1983, does not address Section N.1.b, Exercise Scenario Response, stating. "See Crisis Management Plan Section N.1.a/N.1.b" and section N.5 states, "See Crisis Management Plan Section N.5" CNS Emergency Plan, Section N.1.b, Rev 150 states, "The exercise will be initiated at various times of the day, but in every eight calendar year exercise cycle, one exercise will begin between 6:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M". Section N.5 states, "The verbal evaluations made during the critique and any follow-up written evaluation will be compiled using the Corrective Action Program (CAP)."
The differences in approved revisions and the current revisions of the Emergency Plans have been reviewed, and they have been determined to meet the regulatory requirements required during the course of revisions.

Rev. 6 ATTACHMENT 5 Page 3 of 6 Part Ill. Description of How the Proposed Change Complies with Regulation and Commitments.
If the emergency plan, modified as proposed, no longer complies with planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, then ensure the change is rejected, modified, or processed as an exemption request under 10 CFR 50.12, Specific Exemptions, rather than under 10 CFR 50.54(q):
Change 1:
With the removal of the statement, "The exercise will be initiated at various times of the day, but in every eight calendar year exercise cycle, one exercise will begin between 6:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M," the CNS Emergency Plan continues to comply with regulation and commitments because NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, Rev 0, (November 2011) states, "Revised Evaluation Criterion N.1.b applies to licensee, State and local organizations. Because FEMA no longer requires offsite organizations to participate in off-hours or unannounced exercises, the portion of Evaluation Criterion N.1.b. regarding these types of exercises was relocated to new Evaluation Criterion N.1.c applicable to licensees only. The timeframe for conducting off-hours or exercises was also modified to align with Supplement 1 to NUREG-0654 as shown below:
N.1.c Provisions must be made to start a drill or exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
at least once in every eight-year exercise cycle. Some drills or exercises should be unannounced.
CNS Emergency Plan section N.2, Drills, indicates that drills will be conducted in accordance with PD-EP-ALL-0800, Drills and Exercises; AD-EP-ALL-0801, Design and Development of Drills and Exercises; AD-EP-ALL-0802, Conducting Drills and Exercises; and AD-EP-ALL-0803, Evaluation and Critique of Drills and Exercises.
AD-EP-ALL-0801, Design and Development of Drills and Exercises, Attachment 11, Augmentation Drills, section 1.2, includes the direction for a drill beginning after 6:00 PM and before 4:00 AM, Monday through Thursday.
Compliance with the guidance in the ISG is maintained.
Change 2:
Change 2 was initiated to clarify that only deficiencies should be entered into the corrective action program (CAP) or as work requests. Documentation of the Drill/Exercise Critique Report, described as "verbal evaluations" and "follow-up written evaluation" is not an appropriate use of CAP. Drill/Exercise records packages are maintained per AD-EP-ALL-0803, Evaluation and Critique of Drills and Exercises, section 5.4. CNS maintains all original drill/exercise records as hard copies.
The changes described continue to meet NRC requirements as described in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.

EMERGENCY PLAN CHANGE SCREENING AND AD-EP-ALL-0602 EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATIONS 10 CFR 50.54(Q)
Rev. 6 ATTACHMENT 5 Page 4 of 6 Part IV. Description of Emergency Plan Planning Standards, Functions and Program Elements Affected by the Proposed Change (Address each function identified in Attachment 4, 10 CFR 50.54(q) Screening Evaluation Form, Part IV of associated Screen):
Changes 1 and 2 impact Emergency Planning Standard 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14).
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) states the following:
Periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected.
Three emergency planning functions have been defined for this planning standard:
A drill and exercise program (including radiological, medical, health physics, or other program areas) is established.
Drills, exercises, and training evolutions that provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain, and demonstrate key skills, are assessed via a formal critique process to identify weaknesses.
Identified weaknesses are corrected.
Program elements are contained in Section II.N of NUREG-0654 Section II.N.1.c, "Provisions must be made to start a drill or exercise between 6:00 p.m.
and 4:00 a.m. at least once in every eight-year exercise cycle. Some drills or exercises should be unannounced. "
Section II.N.5, "Each organization shall establish means for evaluating observer and participant comments on areas needing improvement, including emergency plan procedural changes, and for assigning responsibility for implementing corrective actions.
Each organization shall establish management control used to ensure that corrective actions are implemented."

EMERGENCY PLAN CHANGE SCREENING AND AD-EP-ALL-0602 EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATIONS 10 CFR 50.54(Q)
Rev. 6 ATTACHMENT 5 Page 5 of 6 Part V. Description of Impact of the Proposed Change on the Effectiveness of Emergency Plan Functions:
Changes 1 and 2 continue to support the establishment of a drill and exercise program, including conducting unannounced off-hours drills, and the appropriate use of the Corrective Action Program and other record retention methods. Drills/exercises continue to provide performance opportunities to develop, maintain and demonstrate key skills, and drills/exercises are assessed via a formal critique process. The Corrective Action Program continues to be the method by which identified deficiencies are corrected and documented.
The changes described provide assurance that the normal plant operating organization and ERO has the ability and capability to:
- respond to an emergency;
- perform functions in a timely manner;

N.2.e Radiation Protection drills shall be conducted semi-annually which involve response to and analysis of, simulated elevated airborne and liquid samples and direct radiation measurements in the environment.
Analysis of samples may be simulated in Radiation Protection drills.
NOTES: 1. Due to ALARA considerations actual elevated samples will not be used in drills.
- 2. Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel perform analyses of similar nature routinely and therefore are not required to perform the analysis for drills.
N.3 Exercise and Drill Execution The Emergency Preparedness Group is responsible for the overall development and direction of the exercise. An Exercise Director and a key group of controllers will develop the exercise scenario, exercise messages, and simulated data for the station and off-site areas. The Exercise Director will, for each exercise, develop an exercise plan. This plan will include objectives of the exercise and evaluation criteria, the date, time, place, and participating organizations, the exercise scenario, a narrative summary of the event including such things as emergency classification at various times in the simulated accident, off-site assistance, some detail on plant conditions, and a description of the arrangements for official observers.
N.4 Exercise Critique A critique will be held following each exercise. The critique will be a closed session between Duke and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. During the critique, the Manager, Nuclear Support Services, the Exercise Director, the NRC and other official observers from state, federal or local governments will make preliminary evaluations of on-site and corporate emergency response.
Critiques are held after each drill. Drill critiques are open to all drill participants, drill evaluators and drill observers.
N.5 Critique Action Items Deficiencies identified during verbal evaluation are to be entered as condition reports in the Corrective Action Program (CAP) or work request for appropriate resolution. CAP will also be used to assign corrective actions and expected completion dates to the appropriate groups.
