RA-21-0291 Page 1 of 1 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5) Summary for CSD-EP-BNP-0101-01, Revision 4, and CSD-EP-BNP-0101-02, Revision 4 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5), Duke Energy Progress, LLC, is providing a summary of the revision analysis for CSD-EP-BNP-0101-01, EAL Technical Basis Document, Revision 4, and CSD-EP-BNP-0101-02, EAL Wallchart (Both Hot And Cold), Revision 4, which both became effective on October 28, 2021.

The changes to CSD-EP-BNP-0101-01, EAL Technical Basis Document, and CSD-EP-BNP-0101-02, EAL Wallchart (Both Hot And Cold), include editorial changes with no change to intent, and changes that are not associated with a planning standard and do not affect the E-Plan functions. In addition to these changes, the Emergency Action Level (EAL) CU5.1 and SU7.1 Communication Methods tables and associated information were updated to align with the E-Plan. Also, the EAL HU4.4 Bases description was updated to provide additional clarifying information for when an offsite firefighting agency is actively supporting firefighting efforts.

The changes implemented by CSD-EP-BNP-0101-01, Revision 4, and CSD-EP-BNP-0101-02, Revision 4, were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q). The evaluation concluded that these changes do not result in a reduction in the effectiveness of the E-Plan; the E-Plan continues to meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. A standard scheme of emergency classification and action levels remains in use.

The meaning or intent of the basis of the approved EAL is unchanged. The classification of the event would NOT be different from that approved by the NRC in the site-specific application.

The changes do not reduce the licensees capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes of the availability of indications. As such, there is no impact to compliance, adherence, or effectiveness of the E-Plan.
