ER 5.4A Plume Exposure Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) Worksheet 33

ER 5.4 Page 3 Rev. 35 1.0 OBJECTIVES This procedure provides guidance for determining Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) to be made to offsite authorities for the plume exposure pathway.

2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES 2.1 Response Manager Authorizes PARs from the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

2.2 Site Emergency Director Authorizes PARs prior to activation of the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

2.3 EOF Coordinator Implements this procedure for the evaluation of radiological and plant data, determines PARs and provides recommendations to the Response Manager at the EOF.

2.4 Health Physics Coordinator Implements this procedure for the evaluation of radiological and plant data, determines PARs and provides recommendations to the Site Emergency Director prior to activation of the BOF.

3.0 PRECAUTIONS

1. The following time critical tasks apply to this procedure:

TASK TIME Notification to offsite authorities of a No later than 15 minutes after the time of PAR made pursuant to an emergency declaration of the emergency classification classification or re-classification or re-classification.

Authorization of a revised PAR not No later than 15 minutes after indications associated with the re-classification of an of conditions that changes a PAR become emergency available.

Notification to offsite authorities of a No later than 15 minutes after revised PAR not associated with the authorization of the revised PAR per time re-classification of an emergency authorized on form ER 2.0B

2. Protective Action Recommendations should be reviewed against protective actions actually implemented prior to re-issuing an updated recommendation.

ER Rev.5.4 35 Page 4

3. If a wind direction shift causes a PAR to change per form ER 5.4A, an ERPA previously recommended to evacuate must not be changed to shelter in a revised PAR. For example, ,l if ERPA B had previously been included in an evacuation PAR, the evacuation PAR shallW continue to be recommended for the ERPA B even though the appropriate column on form ER 5.4A based on wind direction indicates shelter for ERPA B.

4. Core Cooling and Containment CSFSTs per steps 1 and 2 under the General Emergency section of form ER 5.4A shall be verified with the Emergency Operations Manager or Operations Technician (if PAR is formulated in the TSC) or the Technical Assistant (if PAR is formulated in the EOF) in accordance with the following CAUTION:

CAUTION Due to the time required for plant equipment to change states following a reactor trip or containment isolation signal, a Critical Safety Function Status Tree (CSFST) may briefly proceed along one path before changing to another. For example, if containment pressure exceeds 18 psig, the containment (Z) CSFST will briefly indicate a red path while the containment isolation valves are closing and then indicate an orange path after all valves have closed. Exercise appropriate judgment when using the CSFSTs for protective action decision-making.

5. Solicitation of information regarding, impediments (i.e., adverse weather, lack of resources, road impediments, etc.) for safe evacuation is not the responsibility of the Seabrook Station ERO when determining the appropriate initial PAR..

6. If any of the decision-making conditions identified on Figure 2 for a rapidly progressing severe accident cannot be immediately determined, then assume they are not taking place.

7. The Site Emergency Director should transfer his responsibility under this procedure to the Response Manager as soon as the EOF activation is complete.

8. The Health Physics Coordinator should ensure that all actions taken in accordance with this procedure are reported to the EOF Coordinator upon EOF activation.

4.0 PREREQUISITES

1. A Site Area Emergency or General Emergency has been declared.

2. The Technical Support Center (TSC) or Alternative TSC and BOF are activated.

5.0 ACTIONS Actions are specified in appropriate position checklists contained in Procedure ER 3.1, Technical Support Center Operations, and Procedure ER 3.3, Emergency Operations Facility Operations.

Rev. 34 (PCR 2009039):

In $3.0, Precautions, added Precaution 3.5 stating it is not the responsibility of the Seabrook Station ERO to solicit offsite impediment status when making the initial PAR.

In $3.0, added Precaution 3.6 stating that if any of the decision-making conditions identified on Figure 2 for a rapidly progressing severe accident cannot be immediately determined, then assume they are not taking place.

Consolidated Figure 1, Site Area Emergency Protective Action Flowchart into one page.

Added a new Figure 2, General Emergency Protective Action Flowchart to reflect NUREG-0654 Supplement 3 PAR Strategy guidance.

Revised form ER 5.4A to incorporate guidance based on NUJREG-0654, Supplement 3.

Rev. 33:

In §3.0, Precautions, added precaution 3.1 that defines criteria for timely notification to offsite authorities of a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) and for timely authorization and notification of a revised PAR. (AR# 17401 11)

In §3.0, Precautions, added precaution 3.3 to maintain previously recommended evacuation PARs in effect when issuing a revised PAR. (AR#17 10694)

In §3.0, Precautions, added precaution 3.4 that requires verification of Core Cooling and Containment Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSFSTs) with the Emergency Operations Manager or Operations Technician (TSC) or Technical Assistant (EOF) for General Emergency PAR determination and that provides a caution to be applied to evaluation of the CSFSTs.
