EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 1.0 PURPOSE This doctirnent provides an explanation and rationale for each Emergency Action Level (EAL).
Decision-makers responsible for implementation of EIP-ZZ-00l0 1, Classification of Emergencies, shotild use this document as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation. This information may assist the Emergency Coordinator in making classifications, particularly those involving judgment or multiple events. The basis information may also be useful in training and for explaining event classifications to offsite officials.
The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present.
Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the emergency classification.
Because the information in a basis document can affect emergency classification decision-making (e.g., the Emergency Coordinator refers to it during an event), the NRC staff expects that changes to the basis document will be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q).
Additionally, changes to plant AOPs and EOPs that may impact EAL bases shall be evaluated in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(q).
2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1. Background EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the Callaway Plant Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP).
Page 6 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 2.2. Fission Product Barriers Fission product harrier thresholds represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on mtdtipte physical barriers, any one of which. if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission prodttcts to the environment.
Many of the EALs derived from the NEI methodology are fission product barrier threshold based. That is. the conditions that define the EALs are based upon thresholds that represent the loss or potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. Loss and Potential Loss signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. A Loss threshold means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials. A Potential Loss threshold implies an increased probability of battier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier.
The primary fission product barriers are:
A. Fuel Clad (FC): The Fuel Clad Barrier consists of the cladding material that contains the fuel peLlets.
B. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves.
C. Containment (CMT): The Containment Barrier includes the containment huildiiw and connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam. feedwater, and blowdewn line extensions outside the containment building up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve.
Containment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the ECL from Alert to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.
2.3. Fission Product Barrier Classification Criteria The following criteria are the bases for event classification related to fission product harrier loss or potential loss:
Alert:
Any loss or any potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS barrier Site Area Emergency:
Loss or potential loss of any two barriers General Emergency:
Loss of any two barriers and loss or potential loss of the third barrier Page 7 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-0010l ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 2.4. EAL Organization The Callaway EAL scheme includes the following features:
- Division of the EAL set into three broad groups:
- EALs applicable under all conditions This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.
- EALs applicable only under pj operating MODES This group wottid only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown. Hot Standby, Startup. or Power Operation MODE.
- EALs applicable only under cold operating MODES This grotip would only he reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling or Deluded MODE.
The ptirpose of the groups is to avoid review of hot condition EALs when the plant is in a cold condition and avoid review of cold condition EALs when the plant is in a hot condition. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user for a given plant condition, reduces EAL-user reading burden and, thereby. speeds identification of the EAL that applies to the emergency.
- Within each grotip. assignment of EALs to categories and subcategories:
Category and subcategory titles are selected tc) represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user. The Callaway hAL categories are aligned to and represent the NET 99-01 Recognition Categories. Subcategories are used in the Callaway scheme as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds. The Callaway EAL categories and subcategories are listed below.

D Defueled All fuel assemblies have been removed from Containment and placed in the spent fuel pit and the SFP transfer canal gate valve is closed.
The MODE in effect at the time that an event or condition occurred, and prior to any plant or operator response, is the MODE that determines whether or not an IC is applicable. If an event or condition occurs, and results in a MODE change before the emergency is declared.
the emergency classification level is still based on the MODE that existed at the time that the event or condition was initiated (and not when it was declared). Once a different MODE is reached, any new event or condition, not related to the original event or condition, requiring emergency classification should be evaluated against the ICs and EALs applicable to the operating MODE at the time of the new event or condition. For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that are applicable in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling MODES, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher MODE) is entered during the subsequent plant response. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in the Hot Shutdown MODE or higher.

EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 3.0 GUIDANCE ON MAKING EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATIONS 3.1. General Considerations When making an emergency classification, the Emergency Coordinator must consider all information having a bearing on the proper assessment of an Initiating Condition (IC). This includes the Emergency Action Level (EAL) plus the associated Operating MODE Applicability. Notes. and the informing basis information. In the Recognition Category F matrices, EALs are based on loss or potential loss of Fission Product Barrier Thresholds.
- 3. 1.1. Classification Timeliness NRC regulations require the licensee to establish and maintain the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. The NRC staff has provided guidance on implementing this requirement in NSIRIDPR-ISG-Ol. Interim Staff Guidance, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants (ref. 4.1.11).
Time based EALs should be evaluated upon first indication of the conditions. If someone is working to mitigate the condition in less than the time reqciired. the declaration can wait to see if they are successful within the time constraints. If there is indication that the threshold will be exceeded *for the time period, the declaration should immediately be declared, regardless of the time remaining. In the case of leaks, the exceeded threshold will take some additional period of time to lower and must be taken into account.
When assessing an EAL that specifies time duration for the off-normal condition.
the clock for the EAL time duration runs concurrently with the emergency classification process clock.
3.1.2. Valid Indications All emergency classification assessments shall be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. A valid indication, report. or condition, is one that has been verified through appropriate means such that there is no doubt regarding the indicators operability, the conditions existence, or the reports accuracy. For example, verification could be accomplished through an instrument channel check.
response on related or redundant indicators, or direct observation by plant personnel. The validation of indications should be completed in a manner that supports timely emergency declaration.
An indication, report, or condition is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicators operability, the conditions existence, or the reports accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.
Page 12 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00lt)l ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 3.1.3. Imminent Conditions For ICs and EALs that have a stipulated time duration (e.g.. 15 minutes. 30 minutes. etc.). the Emergency Coordinator should not wait until the applicable time has elapsed. but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition has exceeded, or will likely exceed, the applicable time. If an ongoing radiological release is detected and the release start time is unknown, it should be assumed that the release duration specified in the IC/EAL has been exceeded.
absent data to the contrary.
3.1 .4. Planned vs. Unplanned Events A planned work activity that results in an expected event or condition which meets or exceeds an EAL does not warrant an emergency declaration provided that: 1) the activity proceeds as planned. and 2) the plant remains within the limits imposed by the operating license. Such activities include planned work to test. maniptilate.
repair. maintain or tiiodify a system or component. In these cases, the controls associated with the planning. preparation and execution of the work will ensure that compliance is maintained with all aspects of the operating license provided that the activity proceeds and concludes as expected. Events or conditions of this type may he subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 (ref. 4.1.1).
3.1 .5. Classification Based on Analysis The assessment of some EALs is based on the results of analyses that are necessary to ascertain whether a specific EAL threshold has been exceeded (e.g.. dose assessments, chemistry sampling. RCS leak rate calculation. etc.). For these EALS, the EAL wording or the associated basis discussion will identify the necessary analysis. In these cases, the 15-minute declaration period starts with the availability of the analysis results that show the threshold to be exceeded (i.e.. this is the time that the EAL information is first available). The NRC expects licensees to establish the capability to initiate and complete EAL-related analyses within a reasonable period of time (e.g.. maintain the necessary expertise on-shift).
- 3. 1 .6. Emergency Coordinator Jitdment While the EALs have been developed to address a full spectrum of possible events and conditions which may warrant emergency classification, a provision for classification based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The NEI 99-01 EAL scheme provides the Emergency Coordinator with the ability to classify events and conditions based upon judgment tising EALs that are consistent with the Emergency Classification Level (ECL) definitions (refer to Category H). The Emergency Coordinator wilt need to determine if the effects or consequences of the event or condition reasonably meet or exceed a particular ECL definition. A simiLar provision is incorporated in the Fission Product Barrier Tables: judgment may be used to determine the status of a fission product barrier.
Page 13 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 3.2. Classification Methodology To make an emergency classification, the user will compare an event or condition (i.e., the relevant plant indications and reports) to an EAL(s) and determine if the EAL has been met or exceeded. The evalitation of an EAL must be consistent with the related Operating MODE Applicability and Notes. If an EAL has been met or exceeded, the associated IC is likewise met, the emergency classification process clock starts, and the ECL must be declared in accordance with plant procedures no later than I 5 minutes after the process clock started.
When assessing an EAL that specifies a time duration for the off-normal condition, the clock for the EAL time duration rims concurrently with the emergency classification process clock. For a full discussion of this timing requirement, refer to NSIRIDPR-ISG-0l (ref. 4.1.11).
3.2. 1. Classification of Multiple Events and Conditions When multiple emergency events or conditions are present, the tiser will identify all met or exceeded EALs. The highest applicable ECL identified during this review is declared. For example:
- If an Alert EAL and a Site Area Emergency EAL are met, a Site Area Emergency should be declared and the Alert noted in facility logs.
There is no additive effect from multiple EALs meeting the same ECL. For example:
- If two Alert EALs are met, one of the Alerts should he declared and the other Alert should he noted in the facility logs.
Related guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in Regulatory Issue Summary RIS) 2007-02, Clarification of NRC Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events (ref. 4.1.2).
3.2.2. Consideration of MODE Changes During Classification The MODE in effect at the time that an event or condition occurred, and prior to any plant or operator response, is the MODE that determines whether or not an IC is applicable. If an event or condition occurs, and results in a MODE change before the emergency is declared, the emergency classification level is still based on the MODE that existed at the time that the event or condition was initiated (and not when it was declared). Once a different MODE is reached, any new event or condition, not related to the original event or condition, requiring emergency classification should be evaluated against the ICs and EALs applicable to the operating MODE at the time of the new event or condition.
For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that are applicable in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling MODES, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher MODE) is entered during the subsequent plant response. En particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in the Hot Shutdown MODE or higher.

Classification of Imminent Conditions Aithotigh EALs provide specific thresholds, the Emergency Coordinator must remain alert to events or conditions that could lead to meeting or exceeding ati EAL within a relatively short period of time (i.e., a change in the ECL is IMMINENT).
If. in the judgment of the Emergency Coordinator, meeting an EAL is IMMINENT, the emergency classification should he made as if the EAL has been met. While applicable to all emergency classification levels, this approach is partictilarly important at the higher emergency classification levels since it provides additional time for implementation of protective measures.
3.2.4. Emergency Classification Level Up%radin and Downradin An ECL may he downgraded when the event or condition that meets the highest IC and EAL no longer exists, and other site-specific downgrading requirements are met. If downgrading the ECL is deemed appropriate, the new ECL would then he based on a lower applicable ICts) and EAL(s). The ECL may also simply he terminated.
As noted above, guidance concerning classification of rapidly escalating events or conditions is provided in RIS 2007-02 (ref. 4.1.2).
3.2.5. Classification of Short-Lived Events Event-based ICs and EALs define a variety of specific occurrences that have potential or actual safety significance. By their nature, some of these events may be short-lived and. thus, over before the emergency classification assessment can be completed. If an event occurs that meets or exceeds an EAL. the associated ECL must be declared regardless of its contintied presence at the time of declaration. Examples of such events include an earthquake or a failure of the reactor protection system to automatically trip the reactor followed by a successful manual trip.

EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 3.2.6. Classification of Transient Conditions Many of the ICs and/or EALs employ time-based criteria. These criteria will require that the IC/EAL conditions be present for a defined period of time before an emergency declaration is warranted. In cases where no time-based criterion is specified, it is recognized that some transient conditions may cause an EAL to be met for a brief period of time (e.g.. a few seconds to a few minutes). The following guidance should be applied to the classification of these conditions.
EAL Momentarily Met During Expected Plant Response In instances where an EAL is briefly met during an expected (normal) plant response, an emergency declaration is not warranted provided that associated systems and components are operating as expected, and operator actions are performed in accordance with procedures.
EAL Momentarily 1Iet But The Condition Is Corrected Prior To An Emergency Declaration If an operator takes prompt manual action to address a condition, and the action is successful in correcting the condition prior to the emergency declaration, then the applicable EAL is not considered met and the associated emergency declaration is not required. For illustrative purposes, consider the following example:
- An ATWS occtirs and the high pressure ECCS systems fail to automatically start. RPV level rapidly decreases and the plant enters an inadequate core cooling condition (a potential loss of both the fuel clad and RCS barriers). If an operator manually starts a high pressure ECCS system in accordance with an EOP step and clears the inadequate core cooling condition l)rior to an emergency declaration, then the classification should be based on the ATWS only.
It is important to stress that the 15-minute emergency classification assessment period (process clock) is not a grace period during which a classification may be delayed to allow the performance of a corrective action that would obviate the need to classify the event. Emergency classification assessments must he deliberate and timely. with no undue delays. The provision discussed above addresses only those rapidly evolving situations when an operator is able to take a successful corrective action prior to the Emergency Coordinator completing the review and steps necessary to make the emergency declaration. This provision is included to ensure that any ptiblic protective actions rescilting from the emergency classification are truly warranted by the plant conditions.

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 0t5 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT 3.2.7. After-the-Fact Discovery of an Emergency Event or Condition In some cases. an EAL may he met bctt the emergency classification was not made at the time of the event or condition. This sittiation can occur when personnel discover that an event or condition existed which met an EAL. but no emergency was declared, and the event or condition no lonter exists at the time of discovery.
This may be due to the event or condition not being recognized at the time or an error that was made in the emergency classification process.
In these cases, no emergency declaration is warranted: however, the guidance contained in NUREG-1022 (ref. 4.1.3) is applicable. Specifically, the event should be reported to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (ref. 4. 1.4) within one hour of the discovery of the undeclared event or condition. The licensee should also notify appropriate State and local agencies.
3.2.8. Retraction of an Emergency Declaration Guidance on the retraction of an emergency declaration reported to the NRC is discussed in NUREG-1022 (ref. 4.1.3).

- 5. 1. Definitions (ref. 4.1. 1 except as noted)
Selected terms used in [nitiating Condition and Emergency Action Level statements are set in all capital letters (e.g.. ALL CAPS). These words are defined terms that have specific meanings as used in this document. The definitions of these terms are provided below.
Alert Events are in process. or have occurred, which involve an acttial or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant 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 small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Gtiideline exposui-e levels.
Confinement Boundary The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. As applied to the Callaway [SF51. the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is defined to be the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC).
Containment Closure The procedurally defined actions taken to sectire containment and its associated structures. systems, and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions.
Asappliecl to Callaway. Containment Closure is established when the requirements of OSP-GT-00003 Containment Closure are met. (ref. 4.1.9)
Emergency Action Level A pre-determined, site-specific. observable threshold for an Initiating Condition that. when met or exceeded, places the plant in a given emergency classification level.
Emergency Classification Level One of a set of names or titles established by the US Nticlear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for grouping off-normal events or conditions according to (1) potential or actual effects or consequences, and (2) resulting onsite and offsite response actions. The emergency classification levels, in ascending order of severity, are: Unusual Event (UE). Alert, Site Area Emergency (SAE) and General Emergency (GE).
EPA PAGs Environment Protection Agency Protective Action Guidelines. The EPA PAGs are expressed in terms of dose commitment. I Rem TEDE or 5 Rem CDE Thyroid. Actual or projected offsite exposures in excess of the EPA PAGs requires Callaway to recommend protective actions for the general public to offsite planning agencies.
Explosion A rapid. violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or overpressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits. grounding, arcing. etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are present.
faulted The term applied to a steam generator that has a steam leak on the secondary side of sufficient size to cause an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator to become completely depressurized.
Page 19 of 241 INFORMATION USE
El P-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Fire Combustion characterized by heat and light. Souices of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
Fission Product Barrier Threshold A pre-determined, site-specific, observable threshold indicating the loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier.
flooding A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area.
General Emergency 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 actions that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
High Winds Winds in excess of 40 mph (1$ m/s) sustained, or 58 mph (26 mIs) gusting.
Hostage A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station.
Hostile Action An act toward Callaway or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment. take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end.
This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be incltided. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on Callaway. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e.. this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).
Hostile Force One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or caiis ing destruction.
Imminent The trajectory of events or conditions is such that an EAL will be met within a relatively short period of time regardless of mitigation or corrective actions.
Impede(d) Personnel access to a room or area is hindered to an extent that extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected roomlarea (e.g.,
requiring use of protective equipment. such as SCBAS. that is not routinely employed).
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nctclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage.
Initiating Condition An event or condition that aligns with the definition of one of the four emergency classification levels by virtue of the potential or actual effects or conseqtlences.

EIP-ZZ-OOtOl ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Category R Abnormal Rad Release / Rad Effluent EAL Group: ANY tEALs in this category are applicable in All. Hot or Cold plant conditions.)
Many EALs are based on actual or potential degradation of fission product barriers because of the elevated potential for offsite radioactivity release. Degradation of fission product barriers though is not always apparent via non-radiological symptoms. Therefore. direct indication of elevated radiological effluents or area radiation levels are appropriate symptoms for emergency classification.
At lower levels, abnormal radioactivity releases may be indicative of a failure of containment systems or precursors to more significant releases. At higher release rates, offsite radiological conditions may result which require otfsite protective actions. Elevated area radiation levels in plant may also he indicative of the failure of containment systems or preclude access to plant vital equipment necessary to ensure plant safety.
Events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:
- 1. Radiological Effluent Direct indication of eftluent radiation monitoring systems provides a rapid assessment mechanism to determine releases in excess of classifiable limits. Projected offsite doses, actual oftsite field measurements or measured release rates via sampling indicate doses or dose rates above classifiable Ii m its.
- 2. Irradiated Ftiel Event Conditions indicative of a loss of adequate shielding or damage to irradiated fuel may preclude access to vital plant areas or restilt in radiological releases that warrant emergency classification.
- 3. Area Radiation Levels Sustained general area radiation levels which may preclude access to areas requiring continuous occupancy also warrant emergency classification.

EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases The effluent monitor Hi-Hi alarm setpoints correspond to the Hi-Hi alarm (red) setpoint as displayed on RM-l 1.
The Hi-Hi alarm value setpoints are available by examining channel 9 on the RNl-23.
The RM-1 1 Channel Number 213 is utilized for the Unit Vent (GT-RE-21 B) reading for Table R-1. This channel is read out in pCi/sec while all others are read out in pCi/mi.
This IC addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regulatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g., an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored.
including those for which a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared.
Nuclear power plants incorporate design features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these features and/or controls.
Radiological effluent EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both plant cenditioti and radiological effluent EALS more ftilly addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions.
Classification based on effluent monitor readings assumes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path. then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification ptlrposes.
Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example. a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL.
This EAL addresses normally occurring continuous radioactivity releases from monitored gaseous or liquid effluent pathways.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RA1.

This IC addresses a potential decrease in the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a low-level radiological release that exceeds regtilatory commitments for an extended period of time (e.g., an uncontrolled release). It includes any gaseous or liquid radiological release, monitored or un-monitored, including those for which a radioactivity discharge permit is normally prepared.
This EAL addresses uncontrolled gaseous or liquid releases that are detected by sample analyses or environmental surveys, particularly on unmonitored pathways (e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.).
Nuclear power plants incorporate design features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, and to control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of an extended, uncontrolled radioactive release to the environment is indicative of degradation in these feattires and/or controls.
Radiological effitient EALs are also included to provide a basis for classifying events and conditions that cannot be readily or appropriately classified on the basis of plant conditions alone. The inclusion of both pLant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions.
Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4 times release limits for 30 minutes does not meet the EAL.

If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path. then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.
To clarify Note 4. if a threshold value is met in Table R] for a classification, there is a 15 minute time limit to make the classification (RAIl). If Dose Assessment (URIJRASCAL) is available it should be used instead (RAI.2) since it is more accurate than the values in Table R-l.

It includes both monitored and un-monitored releases. Releases of this magnitude represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant as indicated by a radiological release that significantly exceeds regulatory limits (e.g.. a significant uncontrolled release).

The inclusion of both plant condition and radiological effluent EALs more fully addresses the spectrum of possible accident events and conditions.
The TEDE dose is set at the EPA PAG of 1,000 mrem while the 5,000 mrem thyroid CDE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE.
Classification based on effluent monitor readings asscimes that a release path to the environment is established. If the effluent flow past an effluent monitor is known to have stopped due to actions to isolate the release path. then the effluent monitor reading is no longer valid for classification purposes.

REFUELING PATHWAY- The reactor refueling cavity, spent fuel pooi and fuel transfer canal comprise the refueling pathway.
Basis:
The low water level alarm in this EAL refers to the Spent Fitel Pool (SEP) low level alarm (Annunciator 76D, SFP LEV HI LO) (ref. 1). Dtiring the fuel transfer phase of refueling operations. the fuel transfer canal is normally in communication with the spent fuel pool and the refueling pool in the Containment is in communication with the fuel transfer canal when the fuel transfer tube is open. A lowering in water level in the SFP, fueL transfer canal or refueling pool is therefore sensed by the SFP low level alarm. Neither the refueling pool nor the fuel transfer canal is equipped with a low level alarm (ref. 1).
The SFP level is remotely monitored by level indicator EC LI-0039A. The level switch initiates high and low level annunciators Page 56 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Technical Specification 3.7.15 (ref. 2) requires at least 23 ft. of water above the Spent Fuel Pool storage racks. Technical Specification 3.9.7 (ref. 3) requires at least 23 ft. of water above the Reactor Vessel flange in the refueling pool. During refueling, this maintains sufficient water level in the fuel transfer canal.
refueling pool. and SFP to retain iodine fission product activity in the water in the event of a fuel handling accident.
The Table R-2 radiation monitors are those expected to see increase area radiation levels as a result of a loss of REFUELING PATHWAY inventory (ref. 1). Increasing radiation indications oii these monitors in the absence of indications of decreasiiw REFUELING CAVITY level are not classifiable tinder this EAL.
When the spent fuel pool and reactor cavity are connected. there could exist the possibility of uncovering irradiated fuel. Therefore, this EAL is applicable for conditions in which irradiated fuel is being transferred to and from the reactor vessel and spent fuel pool.
This IC addresses a decrease in water level above irradiated fttel sufficient to cause elevated radiation levels.
This condition could be a precursor to a more serious event and is also indicative of a minor loss in the ability to control radiation levels within the plant. It is therefore a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.
A water level decrease will he primarily determined by indications from available level instrumentation.
Other sources of level indications may include reports from plant personnel (e.g.. from a refueling crew) or video camera observations (if available). A significant drop in the water level may also cause an increase in the radiation levels of adjacent areas that can be detected by monitors in those locations.
The effects of planned evolutions should be considered. For example, a refueling bridge area radiation monitor reading may increase due to planned evolutions stich as lifting of the reactor vessel head or movement of a fuel assembly. Note that this EAL is applicable only in cases where the elevated reading is due to an unplanned loss of water level.
A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may be classified in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling MODES.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC RA2.

REFUELING PATHWAY- The reactor refueling cavity, spent ftiel pool and fuel transfer canal comprise the rettieling pathway.
Basis:
This IC addresses events that have caused imminent or actual damage to an irradiated fuel assembly, or a significant lowering of water level within the spent fuel pooi. These events present radiological safety challenges to plant personnel and are precursors to a release of radioactivity to the environment. As such.
they represent an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
This EAL escalates from RU2. I in that the loss of level, in the affected portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, is of sufficient magnitude to have resuLted in uncovery of irradiated fuel. Indications of irradiated fuel tincovery may include direct or indirect visual observation (e.g., reports from personnel or camera images), as well as significant changes in water and radiation levels, or other plant parameters.
Computational aids may also be used (e.g., a boil-off curve). Classification of an event using this EAL should be based on the totality of available indications, reports and observations.
While an area radiation monitor could detect an increase in a dose rate dtie to a lowering of water level in some portion of the REFUELING PATHWAY, the reading may not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is actually uncovered. To the degree possible, readings should he considered in combination with other available indications of inventory loss.
A drop in water level above irradiated fuel within the reactor vessel may require classification in accordance Recognition Category C during the Cold Shutdown and Refueling MODES.

COiVEINEMENT BOUNDARY- The barrier(s) between spent fuel and the environment once the spent fuel is processed for dry storage. As applied to the Callaway ISFSI, the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY is defined to be the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC).
OVERPACK For the HI-Storm UMAX, the term OVERPACK is synonyms with the term VVM.
TRANSFER CASK Containers designed to contain the MPC during and after Loading of spent fuel assemblies, and prior to and during unloading and to transfer the MPC to or from the overpacklVVM VERTIQAL VENTILATED MODULE(VVM) A subterranean type overpack which receives and contains the sealed MPC for interim storage at the ISFSI. The VVM supports the MPC in a vertical orientation and provide gamma and neutron shielding and also provides air flow through cooling passages to promote heat transfer from the MPC to the environs.
Basis:
Confinement boundary is established at Caltaway when the Mtilti-Purpose Canister welding is complete.
Overpacks/VVM casks receive and contain the sealed MPCs for interim storage in the ISFSI. They provide gamma and neutron shielding, and provide for ventilated air flow to promote heat transfer from the MPC to the environs. The term overpacklVVM does not include the transfer cask (ref. 1).
The values shown represents 2 times the limits specified in the ISFSI Certificate of Compliance Technical Specification 5.3.4 for radiation external to either a loaded MPC overpacklVVM or transfer cask (ref. I).
This IC addresses an event that results in damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a storage cask containing spent fuel. It applies to irradiated fuel that is licensed for dry storage beginning at the point that the loaded storage cask is sealed. The issues of concern are the creation of a potential or actual release path to the environment, degradation of one or more fuel assemblies due to environmental factors, and configuration changes which could cause challenges in removing the cask or fuel from storage. The cask is sealed when the welding is complete.

Category C EALs are directly associated with Cold Shutdown or refueling system safety functions. Given the variability of plant configurations (e.g., systems out-of-service for maintenance, containment open, reduced AC power redundancy, time since shutdown) during these periods, the consequences of any given initiating event can vary greatly. For example. a loss of decay heat removal capability that occurs at the end of an extended outage has less significance than a similar loss occurring during the first week after shutdown. Compounding these events is the likelihood that instrumentation necessary for assessment may also he inoperable. The Cotd Shutdown and refueling system malfunction EALs are based on performance capability to the extent possible with consideration given to RCS integrity, containment closure, and fuel clad integrity for the applicable operating MODES (5 Cold Shutdown, 6 Refueling, D Deluded).
The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:
I. RCS Level RCS water level is directly related to the status of adeciuate core cooling and, therefore, fuel clad integrity.
- 2. Loss of Emereency AC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compi-omise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core coc)liflg systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite power sources for 4.16KV AC emergency buses.
- 3. RCS Temperature Uncontrolled or inadvertent temperature or pressure increases are indicative of a potential loss of safety fitnctions.
- 4. Loss of Vital DC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise pliit safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of power to or degraded voltage on the 125V DC vital buses.
- 5. Loss of Communications Certain events that degrade plant operator abiLity to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.
- 6. Hazardous Event Affecting Safety Systems Certain hazardous natural and technological events may result in visible damage to or degraded performance of safety systems warranting classification.

UNPLANNED A parameter change or an event that is not I) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown.
Basis:
With the plant in Cold Shutdown. RCS water level is normally maintained above the pressurizer low level setpointof 17% (ref. 1). However, if RCS level is being controlled below the pressurizer low level setpoint.
or if level is being maintained in a designated band in the reactor vessel it is the inability to maintain level above the low end of the designated control band due to a loss of inventory resulting from a leak in the RCS that is the concern.
With the plant in Refueling MODE. RCS water level is normally maintained at or above the reactor vessel flange (Technical Specification 3.9.7 requires at least 23 ft. of water above the top of the reactor vessel flange in the refueling cavity during refueling operations) (ref. 2).
The Plant Computer System Display called Refuel Level Indications (turn on code RU) is available to assist in monitoring important parameters crucial to RCS draining operations (ref. 3).
This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain water level to a required minimum level. This condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
Refueling evolutions that decrease RCS water inventory are carefully planned and controlled. An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below a procedurally required limit warrants the declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced water inventory that is available to keep the core covered.

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases This EAL recognizes that the minimum required RCS level can change several times during the course of a refueling outage as different plant configttrations and system lineiips are implemented. This EAL is met if the minimum RCS level, specified for the current plant conditions, cannot be maintained for 15 minutes or longer.
The 15minute threshold dtiration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to restore and maintain the expected water level. This criterion excludes transient conditions causing a brief lowering of water level.
Continued loss of RCS inventory may result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either IC CA I or CA3.

CA1.1 Alert Loss of RCS inventory as indicated by Reactor Vessel level <bottom of RCS hot leg ID (RVLJS Pumps Off< 73).
MODE Applicability:
5 - Cold Shutdown. 6 - Refueling Definition(s):
None Basis:
When Reactor Vessel water level lowers to 2013.29 ft. (ref. I ), the inside diameter (ID) of the bottom of the RCS hot leg penetration is uncovered. The elevation of the bottom of the RCS hot leg penetration can be monitored only by RVLIS. (Note that this threshold is the loop penetration at the Reactor Vessel not the low point of the loop.) (ref. 3) When RVLIS is out of service, classification should he based on CA 1.2 if RCS inventory cannot he monitored.
The RVLIS Ptimps Off threshold has been determined as follows (ref. 1. 2):
Elevation of bottom of Reactor Vessel (H) A 1987.150 Elevation of bottom ID of RCS hot leg penetration (tt) B 2013.290 Hot leg penetration (above vessel bottom) C = B A (ft)
- 26.140 Height of vessel D (ft) 41 .245 RVLIS indication corresponding to the top of the core: H = 100 x C / D (%) 63.377 RVLIS overall channel accuracy: OCA = 7.48% + (0.0104 x H) + 0.81%
OCA at H (3/4) 8.949 Bottom ID of RCS ioop, including channel uncertainties: H ÷ OCA (3/4) 72.327 Rounded upward to nearest 1% (RVLIS range is 0 120% in 2% increments)
- 73 The threshold was chosen because level indication may be lost (RVLIS is normally inoperable in Refueling MODE (ref. 2)) and loss of suction to decay heat removal systems has occttrred. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint infers a failure of the RCS barrier.
This IC addresses conditions that are precursors to a loss of the ability to adequately cool irradiated fuel (i.e..
a precursor to a challenge to the fuel clad barrier). This condition represents a potential substantial reduction in the level of ptant safety.

The heat-tip rate of the coolant will increase as the available water inventory is reduced. A continuing decrease in water level wilt lead to core ii nc o very.
Although related, this EAL is concerned with the loss of RCS inventory and not the potential concurrent effects on systems needed for decay heat removal (e.g.. loss of a Decay Heat Removal suction point). An increase in RCS temperature caused by a loss of decay heat removal capability is evaluated under IC CA3.
If RCS water level continues to lower, then escalation to Site Area Emergency would be via IC CS I.

Inventory loss may be dtie to a vessel breach, RCS pressure botitidary leakage or continued boiling in the Reactor Vessel. The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RCS or Reactor Vessel water level drop and potential core tincovery. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint infers a failure of the RCS harrier and Potential Loss of the Fuel Clad harrier.
The status of Containment clostire is tracked if plant conditions change that could raise the risk of a fission prodtict release as a result of a loss of decay heat removal (i-ef. 4).
This IC addresses a significant and prolonged loss of reactor vessel/RCS inventory control and makeup capability leading to IMMINENT fuel damage. The lost inventory may be clue to a RCS component failure.
a loss of configuration control or prolonged boiling of reactor coolant. These conditions entail major failtires of plant functions needed for protection of the public and thus warrant a Site Area Etnergency declaration.
Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If RCS level cannot be restored. fuel damage is probable.
Outage/shtitdown contingency plans typically provide for re-establishing or verifying CONTAINMENT CLOSURE following a loss of heat removal or RCS inventory control functions.

- 2. Containment hydrogen ? 4% The 4% hydrogen concentration threshold is generally considered the lower limit for hydrogen deflagrations. Callaway is equipped with a Hydrogen Control System 1-ICS which serves to limit or reduce combtistihle gas concetitrations in the Containment. The HCS is an engineered safety feature with redtmdant hydrogen recombiners, hydrogen mixing system, hydrogen monitoring subsystem, and a backup hydrogen purge subsystem. The HCS is designed to maintain the Containment hydrogen concentration below 4% by volume (ref. 5). Two Containment hydrogen monitors (GS AT-JO and GS A1-19) with a range of 0% to 10% provide indication on Control Room Panel RLO2O and Emergency Response Facilities Information System (ERFIS) (ref. 6.
7). The hydrogen monitors require a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> warmup period when starting from the OFF position and 15 minutes when starting from STANDBY (ref. 8. 9).
- 3. UNPLANNED rise in Containment pressure An unplanned pressure rise in containment while in Cold Shutdown or Refueling MODES can threaten Containment Closure capability and thus Containment potentially cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release (ref. 4).
Under the conditions specified by this EAL. continued lowering of Reactor Vessel water level is indicative of a loss of inventory control with a challenge to the Containment. Inventory loss may be dtie to a vessel breach. RCS pressure boundary leakage or contintied boiling in the Reactor Vessel. The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RCS or Reactor Vessel water level drop and potential core uncovery. The inability to restore and maintain level inventory within 30 minutes after reaching this condition in combination with a Containment challenge infers a failure of the RCS barrier, Loss of the fuel Clad barrier and a Potential Loss of Containment.
Page 87 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases This IC addresses the inability to restore and maintain reactor vessel level above the top of active fuel with containment challenged. This condition represents actual or IMMINENT sttbstantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
Following an extended loss of core decay heat removal and inventory makeup, decay heat will cause reactor coolant boiling and a further reduction in reactor vessel level. If RCS level cannot be restored, fuel damage is probable.
With CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established, there is a high potential for a direct and tmrnonitored release of radioactivity to the environment. If CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is re-established prior to exceeding the 30-minute time limit, then declaration of a General Emergency is not required.
The existence of an explosive mixture means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to stipport a hydrogen hum (i.e.. at the tower deflagration limit). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefore represents a challenge to Containment integrity.
In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive gas mixture in containment. If all installed hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service during an event leading to fuel cladding damage. it may not be possible to obtain a containment hydrogen gas concentration reading as ambient conditions within the containment will preclude personnel access.
During periods when installed containment hydrogen gas monitors are out-of-service, operators may use the other listed indications to assess whether or not containment is challenged (Tcthle C-2, Contctinmeni Challenge Ijic/kations).
The 30-minute criterion is tied to a readily recognizable event start time (i.e., the total loss of ability to monitor level), and allows sufficient time to monitor, assess and correlate reactor and plant conditions to determine if core uncovery has acttially occurred (i.e.. to account for various accident progression and instrumentation uncertainties). It also allows sufficient time for performance of actions to terminate leakage.
recover inventory control/makeup equipment and/or restore level monitoring.
The inability to monitor RCS level may he catised by instrumentation and/or power failures, or water level dropping below the range of available instrumentation. If water level cannot be monitored, operators may determine that an inventory loss is occurring by observing changes in sump and/or tank levels. Sump and/or tank level changes must be evaluated against other potential sources of water flow to ensure they are indicative of leakage from the RCS.

CONTAJyVMEiVT CLOSURE The procedurally defined conditions or actions taken to secttre Primary or Secondary Containment and its associated structures. systems. and components as a functional barrier to fission product release under shutdown conditions.
As applied to Callaway. Containment Closure is established when the requirements of OSP-GT-00003 Containment Closure are met.
RCS INTACT- The RCS should be considered intact when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the Cold Shutdown MODE of operation (e.g.. no freeze seals or nozzle dams). The RCS is capable of being placed in an intact condition by Operator Action. i.e., pressurized to support natural circulation cooling.
UNPLANNED A parameter change or an event that is not I) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may be known or unknown.
Basis:
In Cold Shutdown MODE, the RCS will normally be intact and standard RCS level monitoring means are available.
In the Refueling MODE. the RCS is not intact and RPV level may be monitored by different means.
including the ability to monitor level visually.
In this EAL. all RCS water level indication would be unavailable for greater than 30 minutes. and the RCS inventory loss must be detected by indirect leakage indications (Table C-I ). Surveillance procedures provide instructions for calculating primary system leak rate by manual or computer-based water inventory balances.
Level increases must he evaluated against other potential sources of leakage suich as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage. If the make-up rate to the RCS unexplainably rises above the pre-established rate. a loss of RCS inventory may be occurring even if the source of the leakage cannot be immediately identified. Visual observation of leakage from systems connected to the RCS that cannot be isolated could also he indicative of a loss of RCS inventory (ref. 1.2).
The Plant Computer System Display called Refuel Level Indications (turn on code RLI) is available to assist in monitoring important parameters crucial to RCS draining operations (ref. 3).
The Reactor Vessel inventory loss may be detected by the manipulator crane radiation monitor or erratic Source Range Monitor indication. As water level in the Reactor Vessel lowers, the dose rate above the core will rise. The dose rate due to this core shine should result in up-scaled manipulator crane radiation monitor (SD-RE-41) indication tref. 4. 5. 6).
Post-TMI accident studies indicated that the installed PWR nuclear instrumentation will operate erratically when the core is uncovered and that this should be used as a tool for making such determinations (ref. 7. 8).
Three conditions are associated with a challenge to Containment integrity:
- 1. CONTAINMENT CLOSURE not established - The status of Containment clostire is tracked if plant conditions change that could raise the risk of a fission product release as a result of a loss of decay heat removal (ref. 15). If containment closure is re-established prior to exceeding the 30 minute core cincovery time limit then escalation to GE would not occur.

For emergency classification purposes. capability means that an offsite AC power source(s) is available to the emergency buses and can he aligned within 15 minutes. whether or not the buses are powered from it.
The criteria for Standby Alignment is that the source can be supplying the station with power within 15 minutes. Obviously the Main Transformer could not be aligned for haekfeed in 15 minutes during normal power operations. But, in an outage, and if already aligned for backfeed. the Main Transformer could be supplying power to the station within 15 minutes. and credit could be taken for it. The same applies fot- the Alternate Energy Power System (AEPS). Timed control room actions have shown that Callaway can supply power from AEPS to the station in approximately 9 minutes. if AEPS is aligned in standby. If AEPS cannot he aligned to a bus within 15 minutes. then it is not considered a capable AC power source.
The condition indicated by this EAL is the degradation ci the offsite and onsite power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to the emergency buses.
4.16KV buses NBOI and NBO2 are the emergency (essential) buses. NBOI supplies power to Load Group I (Red Train) safety related toads and NBO2 supplies power to Load Group 2 (Yellow Train) safety related loads. Each bus has two sources of offsite power. One source is from 13.8 KV safeguards transformer A or B via ESF Load Tap Changing LTC transformer XNBO I and the other source is from the startup transformer XMROI via ESF LTC transformer XNBO2. Transformer XNBOI is the normal supply to bus NB0l XNBO2 is the normal supply to bus NBO2 (ref. 1,2.3).
In addition. NBO I and NBO2 each have an emergency diesel generator which supply electrical power to the btis automatically in the event that the preferred source becomes unavailable (ref. I).
Another method to obtain offsite potver is by backfeeding the emergency btises through the main transformer XMAOI and unit auxiliary transformer XMRO2. This is only done during Cold Shutdown unless nuclear safety considerations require it to he done during hot shutdown when no other power sources are available (ref. 4).
An additional source of offsite power is the Alternate Emergency Power Supply (AEPS). AEPS consists of Co-op Power or AEPS Diesel Generators. Credit can be taken for this source only if it can he aligned within 15 minutes.
This cold condition EAL is equivalent to the hot condition EAL SA 1.1.
This IC describes a significant degradation of offsite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safetyrelated equipment.
When in the Cold Shutdown. refueling. or defueled MODE. this condition is not classified as an Alert because of the increased time available to restore another power source to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thuts. when in these MODES, this condition is considered to he a potential degradation of the levet of safety of the plant.

This IC addresses a total loss of AC power that compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink.
When in the Cold Shutdown, refueling, or defueled MODE, this condition is not classified as a Site Area Emergency because of the increased time available to restore an emergency bus to service. Additional time is available due to the reduced core decay heat load, and the lower temperatures and pressures in various plant systems. Thus, when in these MODES, this condition represents an actual or potential stibstantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.

Several instruments are capable of providing indication of RCS temperature with respect to the Technical Specification Cold Shutdown temperature limit t200°F. ref. I ).

Page 99 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases This EAL involves a loss of decay heat removal capability, or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed, such that reactor coolant temperature cannot be maintained below the Cold Shutdown temperature limit specified in Technical Specifications. During this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat load has been reduced since the cessation of power operation.
During an outage, the level in the reactor vessel will normally he maintained at or above the reactor vessel flange. Refueling evolutions that lower water level below the reactor vessel flange are carefully planned and controlled. A toss of forced decay heat removal at reduced inventory may result in a rapid increase in reactor coolant temperature depending on the time after shutdown.
Escalation to Alert would be via IC CA I based on an inventory loss or IC CA3 based on exceeding plant configuration-specific time criteria.

EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases This EAL addresses the inability to determine RCS temperature and level, and represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. If the RCS is not intact and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established durin this event, the Emergency Coordinator should also refer to IC CA3.
This EAL reflects a condition where there has been a significant loss of instrumentation capability necessary to monitor RCS conditions and operators wottid be unable to monitor key parameters necessary to assure core decay heat removal. Dtiring this condition, there is no immediate threat of fuel damage because the core decay heat toad has been reduced since the cessation of power operation.
Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication.
Escalation to Alert would be via IC CAl based on an inventory loss or IC CA3 based on exceeding plant configuration-specific time criteria.

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases UNPLANNED A parameter change or an event that is not 1) the result of an intended evolution or 2) an expected plant response to a transient. The cause of the parameter change or event may he known or unknown.
RED LICED INVENTORY Plant condition when fuel is in the reactor vessel and Reactor Coolant System level is lower than 3 feet below the Reactor Vessel flange t< 64.0 in.).
Basis:
Several instruments are capable of providing indication of RCS temperature with respect to the Technical Specification Cold Shutdown temperature limit (200°F. ref. 1). These incltide core exit thermocouples (TICs) and Wide Range hot leg temperature indications. Plant computer screens are available for monitoring heatup and cooldown (e.g.. MODE3. HEATU, COOLD, MODE4. ACCUM, and RHR). The most limiting temperature indication should be used. For example. the highest valid reading temperature indication should he used (ref. 2. 3. 4).
RCS pressure instrument BB P1-403A is capable of measuring pressure to less than It) psig (ref. 5).
In the absence of reliable RCS temperattire indication caused by the loss of decay heat removal capability.
classification should be based on the RCS pressure increase criteria when the RCS is intact in MODE 5 or based on time to boil data when in MODE 6 or the RCS is not intact in MODE 5.
This IC addresses conditions involving a loss of decay heat removal capability or an addition of heat to the RCS in excess of that which can currently be removed. Either condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradatioti of the level of safety of the plant.
A momentary UNPLANNED excursion above the Technical Specification Cold Shutdown temperattire limit when the heat removal function is available DOES NOT warrant a classification.
The RCS Heat-tip Duration Thresholds table addresses an increase in RCS temperature when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but the RCS is not intact, or RCS inventory is reduced (e.g..
mid-loop operation). The 20-minute criterion was included to allow time for operator action to address the temperature increase.
The RCS Heat-up Duration Thresholds table also addresses an increase in RCS temperature with the RCS intact. The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not crucial in this condition since the intact RCS is providing a high presstire harrier to a fission product release. The 60-minute time frame should allow sufficient time to address the temperature increase without a substantial degradation in plant safety.
Finally, in the case where there is an increase in RCS temperature, the RCS is not intact or is at reduced inventory, and CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is not established, no heat-up duration is allowed (i.e.. 0 minutes). This is because I ) the evaporated reactor coolant may he released directly into the containment atmosphere and subsequently to the environment, and 2) there is reduced reactor coolant inventory above the top of irradiated fuel.
The RCS pressure increase threshold provides a pressure-based indication of RCS heat-tip in the absence of RCS temperature monitoring capability.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CS 1 or RS I.

> 15 mm.
(Note 1)
No 1: The Emerency Coordinator should declare the event promptly upon determining that time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.
MODE Applicability:
5 - Cold Shutdown. 6 - Refueling Definition(s):
None Basis:
The purpose of this EAL is to recognize a loss ol DC power compromising the ability to monitor and control the removal of decay heat during Cold Shutdown or refueling operations. This EAL is intended to be anticipatory in as much as the operating crew may not have necessary indication and control of equipment needed to respond to the toss. The fifteen minute interval is intended to exclude transient or momentary power losses.
As used in this EAL, required means the vital DC btises necessary to support operation of the in-service, or operable. train or trains of SAFETY SYSTEM equipment. For example, if Train A is out-of-service (inoperable) for scheduled outage maintenance work and Train B is inservice (operable), then a loss of Vital DC power affecting Train B (NKO2 or NKO4) wotild require the declaration of an Unusual Event. A loss of Vital DC power to Train A would not warrant an emergency classification.
The vital DC buses are the following 125 VDC Class I E buses (ref. I):
Division 1: Division 2:
NKO1 NKO2 NKO3 NKO4 There are fotir battery banks (NKI I. NK 12. NK 13 and NKI4) that supplement the output of the battery chargers. They supply DC power to the distribution buses when AC power to the chargers is lost or when transient loads exceed the 300 amp capacity of the battery chargers.
Page 106 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCtJMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Due to the load distribution on each of the I 25VDC buses, the four batteries for each bus do not have the same rating. All four of the I 25VDC buses supply inverters for I 2OVAC NN bus poer as well as control power for various safety related systems. NKO1 and NKO4 stipply additional DC loads such as diesel field flashing. breaker control power. main control hoard power and emergency lighting. These loads are not supplied by the other two buses, NKO2 and NKO3. For this reason. batteries NK1 I and NKI4 require additional capacity. Each battery is designed to have stifficient stored energy to supply the required ernergeticy loads for 240 minutes following a loss of AC power (station blackout) (ref. 2. 3, 4).
Minirntim DC bus voltage is 107.0 VDC (ref. 4, 5). Bus voltage may be obtained from the following instruments (ref. 6):
- NKEI-l (NKOI)
- NK ET-2 (NKO2)
- NK EI-3 NKO3)
- NKEI-4NKO1)
This EAL is the cold condition equivalent of the hot condition loss of DC power EAL SS2.1.
This IC addresses a loss of vital DC power which compromises the ability to monitor and control operable SAFETY SYSTEMS when the plant is in the Cold Shutdown or refueling MODE. In these MODES. the core decay heat load has been significantly reduced. anti coolant system temperatures and pressures are lower these conditions increase the time available to restore a vital DC bus to service. Thus, this condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses.
Depending upon the event, escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC CAl or CA3. or an IC in Recognition Category R.

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Basis:
Onsite/offsite communications incitide one or more of the systems listed in Table C-S (ref. 1, 2).
Gaitronics system The Gaitronics system provides six separate independent communication channels--one general page.
one Control Room page and four party tines. Cot;mtinication between parties within the ptant can he easily and quickly established by using the general page channel. Communication between parties in the plant and the Control Room can be easily and quickly established using the Control Room page channel. The party tine channel is normally used after the page catt is completed. As many as focir party lines may communicate sinuiltaneously. The portion of the PA system connecting the fuel transfer area in the Containment, the spent fuel area and new ftiet handling area in the fuel building, and the control room can be isolated from the remainder of the PA system from the control room.
This permits extended tise of the fuel handling communications system without disruption to the remainder of the system.
- 2. Plant Radios A six channel Xt)0 MHZ trunked radio system for overall plant site area coverage reaches out as far as the intake structure. This two-way radio system provides communications for operating purposes with plant radioequipped vehicles and plant handheld portable radios. These systems are for use during normal operation or dtiring a plant emergency. This radio system is available on the Control Room radio consoles, on the security radio consoles, on the EOF radio console, and the TSC radio console. This system is also in the field monitoring team vehicles and is used to communicate during emergencies.
- 3. Plant Emergency Dedicated Phones Three independent telephone systems are available for communications between the Emergency Response Facilities: the Technical Assessment Bridge Line. the Dose Assessment Bridge Line and the Emergency Management Bridge Line. Each system operates indeJ)endently from the other systems and allows for conference calls between the members of that bridge line group
- 4. Plant telephone system The telephone system consists of digital automatic switchboard (DPBX) equipment and telephone stations. The DPBX is provided with redundant processors for reliability. The telephone stations are located throughout the power block, in the main control room, in the various buildings around the site, in the security building, and in the service building where the administrative offices are located.
For emergency use, unlisted telephone numbers are provided for direct access to the outside local public telephone system. Company provided cell phones ARE considered part of the Plant Telephone System. The FLEX response satellite phones are in place for beyond design basis accidents and ARE NOT considered pait of the Plant Telephone System.
- 5. ENS (Red Phone) line The NRC Emergency Notification System (ENS) is an FTS telephone used for official communications with NRC Headquarters. The NRC Headquarters has the capability to patch into the NRC Regional offices. The primary purpose of this phone is to provide a reliable method for the initial notification of the NRC and to maintain continuous communications with the NRC after initial notification. ENS telephones are located in the Control Room, TSC and EOF.

EIP-ZZ-0010I ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases
- 6. Back-Up Radio System (BURS)
The Back-up Radio System is a communication link between the Callaway Plant and offsite emergency response agencies. The primary use of this system is the hack-up notification of offsite agencies and the coordination of offsite activities during a radio logic al emergency. The system uses $00 MHz radios. There are radio control base: units in the Plant Control Room, TSC and EOF.
as well as each county EOC and the State EOC. The backup to this system is the commercial touchtone telephone system Notifications may also he initiated through the Callaway County/City of Fulton EOC via the Security radio.
- 7. Sentry Notification System A computerized notification system linked between the Catlaway Plant, the State Emergency Management Agency and the four (4) EPZ risk counties. It allows the Communicator to fill out a notification form on screen and transmit the data simttltaneoiisly. Notifications on Sentry can be initiated from the Control Room, the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), or the Technical Support Center (TSC).
This EAL is the cold condition equivalent of the hot condition EAL 5U7. I.
This IC addresses a significant loss of on-site or offsite communications capabilities. While not a direct challenge to plant or personnel safety, this event warrants prompt notifications to OROs and the NRC.
This IC should be assessed only when extraordinary means are being utilized to make communications possible (e.g., use of non-plant, privately owned equipment, relaying of on-site information via individuals or multiple radio transmission points. individtials being sent to offsite locations, etc.).
The first EAL condition addresses a total loss of the communications methods used in support of routine plant operations.
The second EAL condition addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify all OROs of an emergency declaration.
The third EAL addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify the NRC of an emergency declaration.

EIP-ZZ-DO1O1 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases SAFETY SYSTEM A system tequired for safe plant operation, cooling down the plant and/or placing it in the Cold Shutdown condition. including the ECCS. These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in IOCFR5O.2):
Those structures, systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure:
The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary;
- 2. The capability to shtit down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition:
- 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures.
VISIBLE DAMAGE Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements.
testing, or analysis. The visual impact of the damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the affected component or structure.
Basis:
- Annunciator 98D. OBE will illuminate if the seismic instrument detects ground motion in excess of the OBE threshold. OTO-SG-0000l, Seismic Event provides the guidance for determining if an OBE earthquake threshold is exceeded and any required response actions (ref. I).
- Internal FLOODING may he catised by events suich as component failures, equipment misalignment.
or outage activity mishaps (ref. 2).
- External flooding may be due to high rainfall. Callaway plant grade elevation is 810.0 ft. MSL.
(ref. 3).
- Seismic Category I structures are analyzed to withstand a sustained, design wind velocity of at least 100 mph. (ref. 4).
- Areas containing functions and systems required for safe shutdown of the plant are identified by fire area (ref. 5).
- An explosion that degrades the performance of a SAFETY SYSTEM train or visibly damages a SAFETY SYSTEM component or structure would be classified tinder this EAL.
This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM, or a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components, needed for the current operating MODE. This condition significantly reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of a fission produict barrier, and therefore represents an actual or potentiat stthstantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
The first conditional addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.
The second conditional addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM component that is not in service/operation or readily apparent through indications alone, or to a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components.
Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to he a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage.
Escalation of the emergency ctassification level would be via IC CS 1 or RS 1.

- 6. Control Room Evacuation Events that are indicative of loss of Control Room habitability. If the Control Room must be evacuated, additional support for monitoring and controlling plant functions is necessary through the emergency response facilities.
- 7. Emergency Coordinator Judgment The EALs defined in other categories specify the predetermined symptoms or events that are indicative of emergency or potential emergency conditions and thus warrant classification. While these EALs have been developed to address the full spectrum of possible emergency conditions which may warrant classification and subsequent implementation of the Emergency Plan, a provision for classification of emergencies based on operator/management experience and judgment is still necessary. The EALs of this category provide the Emergency Coordinator the latitude to classify emergency conditions consistent with the established classification criteria based uipon Emergency Coordinator judgment.

MODE Applicability:
All Definition(s):
SECURIT} CONDITIOiV Any security event as listed in the approved security contingency plan that constitutes a threat/compromise to site security, threat/risk to site personnel, or a potential degradation to the level of safety of the plant. A security condition does not involve a hostile action.
HOSTILE ACTION An act toward Callaway or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns. explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force.
Other acts that satisfy the overall intent may be included. Hostile action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on Callaway.
Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e.. this may include violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).
Basis:
The security shift supervision is defined as the Security Shift Supervisor.
This EAL is based on the Callaway Plant Security Plan and DBT (ref. I).
This IC addresses events that pose a threat to plant personnel or SAFETY SYSTEM equipment. and thus represent a potential degradation in the level of plant safety. Sectirity events which do not meet one of these EALs are adequately addressed by the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under ICs HAl, HS 1 and HG 1.
Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event (ref. 2, 3, 4). Classification of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to plant personnel and Offsite Response Organizations.

EIP-ZZ-00I01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12. Template for the Sectirity Plan. Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan.
The first threshold references the Shift Security Stipervisor because these are the individuals trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on sectirity event confirmation and classification is controlled due to the nature of Safeguards and JO CFR 2.39 information.
The second threshold addresses the receipt of a credible security threat. The credibility of the threat is assessed in accordance with the Callaway Plant Security Plan and DBT.
The third threshold addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant. The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will commtinicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may also he provided by NORAD through the NRC. Validation of the threat is performed in accordance with the Callaway Plant Security Plan and DBT (ref. 1).
Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents therefore, EALs should not incorporate Securitysensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary. such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Securitysensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the Callaway Plant Security Plan and DBT (ref. 1).
Escalation of the emergency classification level would he via IC HAl.

EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.g., evacuation, dispersal or sheltering). The Alert declaration will also heighten the awareness of Offsite Response Organizations (OROs). allowing them to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions.
This IC does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc. Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EAL, or the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 50.72.
The first threshold is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA.
The second threshold addresses the threat from the impact of an aircraft on the plant, and the anticipated arrival time is within 30 minutes. The intent of this EAL is to ensure that threat-related notifications are made in a timely manner so that plant personnel and OROs are in a heightened state of readiness. This EAL is met when the threatrelated information has been validated in accordance with sitespecific security procedures.
The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat invoLves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.
In some cases, it may not be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). It is expected. although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. In this case, the appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI. FAA or NRC. The emergency decLaration, including one based on other ICs/EALs, should not be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency.
Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents therefore, EALs should not incorporate Securitysensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Securitysensitive information should be contained in nonpublic documents such as the Callaway Plant Security Plan and DBT (ref. I).

MODE Applicability:
All Definition(s):
None Basis:
Annunciator 98D. OBE will illuminate it the seismic instrument detects ground motion in excess of the OBE threshold (ref. 4).
Seismic Event verification with external sotirces should not be necessary during or following an OBE.
Earthquakes of this magnitude should he readily felt by on-site personnel and recognized as a seismic event.
Shift Manager or Emergency Coordinator may seek external verification if deemed appropriate (e.g., a call to the USGS. check internet news sources. etc.): however, the verification action must not preclude a timely emergency declaration.
To avoid inappropriate emergency classification resulting from spurious actuation of the seismic instrumentation or felt motion not attributable to seismic activity, an offsite agency like the USGS. National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) can confirm that an earthquake has occurred in the area of the plant.
Such confirmation should not, however, preclttde a timely emergency declaration based on receipt of the OBE alarm. The NEIC can he contacted by calling (303) 273-8500. Select option #1 and inform the analyst you wish to confirm recent seismic activity in the vicinity of Callaway. Alternatively, near real-time seismic activity can be accessed via the NEIC website:
Additional actions after EAL declaration:
When the seismic recorder indicates that the OBE has been exceeded, as verified by ETP-SG-0000l, the reactor must be shut down and remain shut down until inspection of the facility shows that no damage has been incurred which wouLd jeopardize safe operation of the facility or until such damage is repaired.
Callaway was designed such that, for ground motion less than the OBE. those features of the plant necessary for continued operation without undue risk to the health and safety of the public will remain functional. Any grotind motion in excess of this results in an uncertainty as to the extent of the damage which must be resolved before continued operation can be considered safe (ref. 1). Ground motion of this magnitude is unmistakably a felt earthquake.

This IC addresses a seismic event that results in accelerations at the plant site greater than those specified for an Operating Basis Earthquake (OBE). An earthquake greater than an OBE but less than a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) should have no significant impact on safety-related systems, structures and components:
however, some time may be required for the plant staff to ascertain the acttial post-event condition of the plant (e.g., performs walk-downs and post-event inspections). Given the time necessary to perform walk-downs and inspections, and fully understand any impacts, this event represents a potential degi-adation of the level of safety of the plant.

The process of flushing chemicals to the sump at the Circ and Service Water building is in a normal plant operations area, but since it is a planned maintenance activity it is excluded provided the process was controlled. That means looLing at extra ventilation and barrier tape to control access. Then as long as the process by which the gasses are being generated is controlled (not expanding beyond the boundary set), is short in duration, and we are able to monitor the atmosphere at the boundary we should be outside the EAL threshold.

- Are there copious quantities of smoke still being generated?
A smoked component (subject to overheating) should show blackened areas or signs that the component itself had been very hot (e.g.. paint peeling). It can be expected to generate some lower level of smoke. If there is so much smoke present that entry to inspect the component is not possible without an SCBA. that would probably be an indication that a fire existed and determine if EAL HAS. 1 is applicable (MODE 4 only). If a breaker truly suffered a fault local to the breaker. the damage and fire ball would be such that consideration of the Hazardous Event EAL SA9.

In the case of a fire alarm in Containment, OTAKC0 100$ states that at the discretion of the Shift Manager/Operating Supervisor, either:
- INSPECT detectors for operation AND INSPECT the Reactor Building for the presence of smoke/fire, OR
- INSPECT other containments parameters available in the Control Room. such as other detection zones, containment temperature or equipment failure, for evidence of a fire.
Other items to monitor would be Containment Radiation Monitors such as GTREOO3 I and GTREOO32 for loss of flow due to filters plugging. The important thing is to make the initial declaration timely with respect to the time of the initial indication. In all cases, document the indications considered for the decision made.

EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases This IC addresses an event invoIvin a release of a hazardous gas that precludes or impedes access to equipment necessary to maintain normal plant operation, or required for a normal plant cooldown and shutdown. This condition represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
An Alert declaration is warranted ii entry into the affected room/area is. or may he, procedurally reqtiired during the plant operating MODE in effect at the time of the gaseous release. The emergency classification is not contingent upon whether entry is actually necessary at the time of the release Evaluation of the IC and EAL do not require atmospheric sampling: it only requires the Emergency Coordinators judgment that the gas concentration in the affected roornlarea is sufficient to preclude or significantly impede procedtirally required access. This judgment may he based on a variety of factors including an existing job hazard analysis, report of ill effects on personnel, advice from a subject matter expert or operating experience with the same or similar hazards. Access should be considered as impeded if extraordinary measures are necessary to facilitate entry of personnel into the affected roonilarea (e.g.,
requiring tise of protective ecluiprnent. such as SCBAS. that is not routinely employed).
An emergency declaration is not warranted if any of the following conditions apply:
- The plant is NOT in MODE 4.
- The gas release is a planned activity that includes compensatory measures which address the temporary inaccessibility of a room or area (e.g., fire suppression system testing).
- The action for which roomlarea entr is required is of an administrative or record keeping nature (e.g.. normal rounds or routine inspections).
- The access control measures are of a conservative or precautionary nature, and would not actually prevent or impede a required action.
An asphyxiant is a gas capable of reducing the level of oxygen in the body to dangerous levels. Most commonly. asphyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment. This reduces the concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around l9c, which can lead to breathing difficulties, tinconsciousness or even death.
This EAL DOES NOT apply to firefighting activities that automatically or manually activate a fii-e stippression system in an area.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via Recognition Category R. C or F ICs.

For the purpose of this EAL the 15 minute clock, to re-establish control of key safety functions, starts when the last licensed operator leaves the Control Room.
The Shift Manager (SM) determines if the Control Room is uninhabitable and requires evacuation. Control Room inhabitability may be caused by fire, dense smoke, noxious fumes, bomb threat in or adjacent to the Control Room, or other life threatening conditions. OTO-ZZ-0000 1, Control Room Inaccessibility, provides the instructions for tripping the unit, and maintaining RCS inventory and Hot Shutdown conditions from outside the Control Room (Ref. 1,2).
The intent of this EAL is to capture events in which control of the plant cannot be reestablished in a timely manner. The time interval is based on how quickly control must be reestablished without core uncovery and/or core damage. The determination of whether or not control is established from outside the Control Room is based on Emergency Coordinator judgment. The Emergency Coordinator is expected to make a reasonable. informed judgment that control of the plant from outside the Control Room cannot be established within the fifteen minute interval.

Primary emphasis should he placed on components and insttuments that suppiy protection for and information abottt safety functions. Typically.
these safety functions are reactivity control (ability to shut down the teactor and maintain it shutdown), RCS inventory (ability to cool the core), and secondary heat removal (ability to maintain a heat sink).
This IC addresses an evacuation of the Control Room that results in transfer of plant control to alternate locations, and the control of a key safety function cannot he reestablished in a timely manner. The failure to gain control of a key safety function following a transfer of plant control to alternate locations is a precursor to a challenge to one or more fission product harriers within a relatively short period of time.
The determination of whether or not control is established at the remote safe shutdown location(s) is based on Emergency Coordinator judgment. The Emergency Coordinator is expected to make a reasonable.
informed judgment within 15 minutes whether or not the operating staff has control of key safety functions from the remote safe shutdown location(s).

Numerous system-related equipment failure events that warrant emergency classification have been identified in this category. They may pose actual or potential threats to plant safety.
The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:
Loss of Emergency AC Power Loss of emergency electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may he necessary to ensure fission product harrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite sources for 4. 16KV AC emergency buses.
- 2. Loss of Vital DC Power Loss of emergency electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency coie cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category incltides loss of vital plant 125 VDC power sources.
- 3. Loss of Control Room Indications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively assess pliit conditions within the plant warrant emergency classification. Losses of indicators are in this suhcategory.
- 4. RCS Activity During normal operation, reactor coolant fission product activity is very tow. Small concentrations of fission products in the coolant are primarily from the fission of tramp uranium in the ftiel clad or minor perforations in the clad itself. Any significant increase from these base-line levels (2% 5% -
clad failures) is indicative of ftiel failures and is covered under the fission Product Barrier Degradation category. However, lesser amounts of clad damage may result in coolant activity exceeding Technical Specification limits. These fission products will be circitlated with the reactor coolant and can be detected by coolant sampling.
- 5. RCS Leakae The reactor vessel provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The reactor pressure vessel and associated pressure piping (reactor coolant system) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail. Excessive RCS leakage greater than Technical Specification limits indicates potential pipe cracks that may propagate to an extent threatening fuel clad, RCS and containment integrity.

In the plant licensing basis. postulated failures of the RTS to complete a reactor trip comprise a specific set of analyzed events referred to as Anticipated Transient Without Scram tATWS) events. For EAL classification, however. ATWS is intended to mean any trip failure event that does not achieve reactor shutdown. if RTS actuation fails to assure reactor shutdown.
positive control of reactivity is at risk and could cause a threat to fuel clad. RCS and containment integrity.
- 7. Loss of Communications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.
- 8. Containment Failure failure of containment isolation capability (under conditions in which the containment is not currently challenged) warrants emergency classification. Failure of containment pressure control capability also warrants emergency classification.
- 9. Hazardous Event Affectine Safety Systems Variotis natural and technological events that result in degraded plant safety system performance or significant visible damage warrant emergency classification under this subcategory.

None Basis:
For emergency classification purposes, capability means that one of the Table S-I offsite sources remains available and can be aligned within 15 mintites.
The criteria here is that the source can he supplying the station with power within 15 minutes. Obviously the Main Transformer could not he aligned for backfeed in 15 minutes during normal power operations. But, in an outage, and if already aligned for backfeed, the Main Transformer could be supplying power to the station within 15 minutes, and credit could be taken for it. The same applies for AEPS. Timed control room actions have shown that Callaway can supply power from AEPS to the station in approximately 9 minutes. if AEPS is aligned in standby. If AEPS cannot be aligned to a bus within 15 minutes, then it is not considered a capable AC power source.

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases The 4. 16KV AC System provides the power requirements for operation and safe shutdown of the plant. The essential switchear are buses NB01 and N302 (ref. 1).
N301 supplies power to Load Group 1 (Red Train) safety related loads and NBO2 supplies power to Load Group 2 (Yellow Train) safety related loads. Each bus has two sources of offsite power. One source is from 13.8 KV safeguards transformer A or B via ESF Load Tap Changing (LTC) transformer XNBO1 and the other source is from the startup transformer XMROI via ESF LTC transformer XNBO2. Transformer XNBOI is the normal supply to bits NBO1: XNBO2 is the normal supply to bus NBO2 ref. 1, 2 3).
Another method to obtain offsite power is by backfeeding the emergency buses through the main transformer XMAOI and unit auxiliary transformer XMRO2. However, this is only done during Cold Shtttdown unless nuclear safety considerations require it to be done during hot shutdown when no other power sources are available (ref. 4).

For emergency classification purposes. capability means that one of the Table S-I offsite sources remains available and can be aligned within 15 minutes.
If AEPS cannot he aligned to a bus within 15 minutes. then it is not considered a capable AC power source.
The criteria here is that the source can be supplying the station with power within 15 minutes. Obviously the Main Transformer could not be aligned for backfeed in 15 minutes during normal power operations. But, in an outage. and if already aligned for backfeed. the Main Transformer could be supplying power to the station within 15 minutes. and credit could he taken for it. The same applies for AEPS. Timed control room actions have shown that Callaway can supply power from AEPS to the station in approximately 9 minutes, if AEPS is aligned in standby.
The 4. 16KV AC System provides the power requirements for operation and safe shutdown of the plant. The essential switchgear are btises NBOI and NBO2 (ref. I).
NBOI supplies power to Load Group I (Red Train) safety related loads and N802 supplies power to Load Group 2 (Yellow Train) safety related loads. Each bus has two sources of olfsite power. One source is from 13.8 KV safeguards transformer A or B via ESF Load Tap Changing tLTC) transformer XNBOI and the other soui-ce is from the startup transformer XMR() 1 via ESE LTC transformer XNBO2. Transformer XNBOI is the normal supply to bus NBOl: XNBO2 is the normal supply to btis NBO2 (ref. 1.2 3).
Another method to obtain offsite power is by backfeeding the emergency buses through the main transformer XMAOI and unit auxiliary transformer XMRO2. However, this is only done during Cold Shutdown unless nticlear safety considerations require it to be done during hot shtttdotvn when no other power sources are available (ref. 4).
An additional source of offsite power is the Alternate Emergency Power Supply (AEPS). AEPS consists of Co-op Power or AEPS diesel generators. Credit can he taken for this source only if it can he aligned within 15 minutes.
If the capability of a second source of emergency bus power is not restored within 15 minutes, an Alert is declared under this EAL.
This IC describes a significant degradation of ofisite and onsite AC power sources such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to SAFETY SYSTEMS. In this condition, the sole AC power source may be powering one, or more than one, train of safety-related equipment. This IC provides an escalation patti from IC SUI.
An AC power source is a source recognized in AOPs and EOPs. and capable of supplying required power to an emergency bus. Some examples of this condition are presented below.
- A loss of all offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency power source (e.g.. an onsite diesel generator).
- A loss of all offsite power and loss of all emergency pOWer sources (e.g.. onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being back-fed from the unit main generator.
- A loss of emergency power sources (e.g.. onsite diesel generators) with a single train of emergency buses being fed from an offsite power sotirce.
Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC SS 1.

This EAL is indicated by the extended loss of all offsite and onsite AC power capability to 4. 16KV emergency buses NBOI and NBO2 either for greater then the Callaway Station Blackout (SBO) coping analysis time (4 hrs.) (ref. 1, 2) or that has resulted in indications of an actual loss of adequate core cooling.
Indication of continuing core cooling degradation is manifested by CSFST Core Cooling RED PATH conditions being met. (ref. 3).
The 4.16KV AC System provides the power requirements for operation and safe shutdown of the plant. The essential switchgear are buses NBOI and NBO2 (ref. 1).
NBOI supplies power to Load Group 1 (Red Train) safety related loads and NBO2 stipplies power to Load Group 2 (Yellow Train) safety related loads. Each bus has two sources of offsite power. One source is from 13.8 KV safeguards transformer A or B via ESF Load Tap Changing (LTC) transformer XNBOI and the other source is from the startup transformer XMROI via ESF LTC transformer XNBO2.

In addition, NBOI and N302 each have an emergency diesel generator (onsite power supply) which supply electrical power to the bus automatically in the event that the preferred source becomes unavailable (ref. 4).
Another method to obtain offsite power is by backfeeding the emergency buses through the main transformer XMAO1 and unit auxiliary transformer XMRO2. However, this is only done during Cold Shutdown unless nuclear safety considerations require it to be done during lint shutdown when no other power sources are availabLe (ref. 7).

Indication of continuing core cooling degradation must be based on fission product barrier monitoring with particular emphasis on Emergency Coordinator judgment as it relates to imminent Loss of fission product harriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers. Indication of continuing core cooling degradation is manifested by CSFST Con Cooling RED PATH contlitions being met (ref. 3).
This IC addresses a prolonged loss of all power sources to AC emergency buses. A loss of all AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A prolonged loss of these buses will lead to a loss of one or more fission product harriers.
In addition, fission product harrier monitoring capabilities may be ctegraded under these conditions.
The EAL should reqtlire declaration of a General Emergency prior to meeting the thresholds for IC FG 1.
This wilt allow additional time for implementation of ofisite protective actions.
Escalation of the emergency classification from Site Area Emergency will occur if it is projected that power cannot be restored to at least one AC emergency btis by the end of the analyzed station blackout coping period. Beyond this time, plant responses antI event trajectory are subject to greater uncertainty, and there is an increased likelihood of challenges to multiple fission product harriers.
The estimate for restoring at least one emergency bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation.
Mitigation actions with a low probability of success should not be used as a basis for delaying a classification tipgrade. The goal is to maximize the time available to prepare for, and implement, protective actions for the public.
The EAL will also require a General Emergency declaration ilthe loss of AC power results in parameters that indicate an inability to adequately remove decay heat from the core.

The vital DC buses are the following 125 VDC Class IE buses (ref. 6):
Division 1: Division 2:
NKO1 NKO2 NKO3 NKO4 There aie four battery banks. (NKI I. NKI2. NK13 and NKI4) that supplement the output of the battery chargers. They suppLy DC power to the distribution buses when AC power to the chargers is lost or when transient loads exceed the 300 amp capacity of the battery chargers.
Due to the load distribution on each of the I 25VDC buses, the fotir battery banks for each bus do not have the same rating. All four of the I 25VDC buses supply inverters for I 2OVAC NN bus power as well as control power for various safety related systems. NKOI and NKO4 supply additional DC loads such as diesel field flashing. breaker control i wer. main control hoard power and emergency lighting. These loads are not supplied by the other two buses, NKO2 and NKO3. For this reason, batteries NKI 1 and NKI4 require additional capacity. Each battery is designed to have sufficient stored energy to supply the required emergency loads for 240 minutes following a loss of AC power (siation blackout) (ref. 8, 9, 10).
Minimum DC bits voltage is 107.0 VDC (ref. 9. 10). Bus voltage may he obtained from the following instruments (ref. 6):

This IC addresses a concurrent and prolonged loss of both emergency AC and Vital DC power. A loss of all emergency AC power compromises the performance of all SAFETY SYSTEMS requiring electric power including those necessary for emergency core cooling, containment heat removal/pressure control, spent fuel heat removal and the ultimate heat sink. A loss of vital DC power compromises the ability to monitor and control SAFETY SYSTEMS. A sustained loss of both emergency AC and vital DC power will lead to multiple challenges to fission product barriers.

This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring normal plant conditions without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. This condition is a precursor to a more significant event and represents a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.
As used in this EAL, an inability to monitor means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of ALL of the Control Room sources for the given parameter(s).

SAFETY SYSTEM parameters listed in Table 5-2 are momtorecl in the Control Room through a combination of hard control panel indicators as well as computer based information systems. The Plant Computer, which displays SPDS recluired information, serves as a redundant compensatory indicator which may be utilized in lieu of normal Control Room indicators (ref. 1,2).

electrical load rejections of greater than 25 full electrical load or ECCS (SI) injection actuations.
This IC addresses the difficulty associated with monitoring rapidly changing plant conditions during a transient without the ability to obtain SAFETY SYSTEM parameters from within the Control Room. During this condition, the margin to a potential fission product barrier challenge is reduced. It thus represents a potential substantial degradation in the level of safety of the plant.
As used in this EAL. an inability to monitor means that values for one or more of the listed parameters cannot be determined from within the Control Room. This situation would require a loss of all of the Control Room sources for the given Iarameter( 5). For example, the reactor power level cannot be determined from any analog. digital and recorder source within the Control Room.
An event involving a loss of plant indications, annunciators and/or display systems is evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (and associated guidance in NUREG-1022) to determine if an NRC event report is required. The event would he reported if it significantly impaired the capability to perform emergency assessments. In partictilar, emergency assessments necessary to implement abnormal operating procedures. emergency operating procedures, and emergency plan implementing procedtires addressing emergency classification, accident assessment. or protective action decision-making.
This EAL is focused on a selected subset of plant parameters associated with the key safety functions of reactivity control, core cooling and RCS heat removal. The loss of the ability to determine one or more of these parameters from within the Control Room is considered to he more significant than simply a reportable condition. In addition, if all indication sources for one or more of the listed parameters are lost, then the ability to determine the values of other SAFETY SYSTEM parameters may he impacted as well. For example. if the valtte for reactor vessel level cannot he determined from the indications and recorders on a main control board, the SPDS or the plant computer, the availability of other parameter values may be compromised as well.
Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of indication.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via ICs FS 1 or IC RS 1.

Manual or computer-based methods of performing an RCS inventory balance are normally used to determine RCS leakage. The Personal Computer (PC) is preferred method of calculating RCS leak rate. When the PC is used, plant status information and all calculations are generated by the Plant Process Computer. When the PC software is not available, procedural guidance is available to perform the manual RCS inventory balance (ref. I).
Identified leakage includes
- Leakage such as that from pump seals or valve packing (except reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal water leakoff). that is captured and conducted to collection systems or a stimp or collecting tank, or
- Leakage into the containment atmosphere from sources that are both specifically located and known either net to interfere with the operation of leakage detection systems or not to he pressure bocLndary leakage. or
- RCS leakage through a steam generator to the secondary system (ref. 2).
Unidentified leakage is all leakage (except RCP seal water leakoff) that is not identified leakage (ref. 2).
Pressure Boundary leakage is leakage (except SG tube leakage) through a nonisolable fault in an RCS component body, pipe wall. or vessel wall (ref. 2)

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases RCS leakage outside of the containment that is not considered identified or unidentified leakage per Technical Specifications includes leakage via interfacing systems such as RCS to the Component Cooling Water, or systems that directly see RCS pressure outside containment such as Chemical & Volume Control System, Nuclear Sampling system and Residual Heat Removal system (when in the shtitdown cooling MODE) (ref. 3, 4)
Escalation of this EAL to the Alert level is via Category F. Fission Product Barrier Degradation, EAL FAI 1. .
This IC addresses RCS leakage which may be a precursor to a more significant event. In this case. RCS leakage has been detected and operators, following applicable procedures. have been unable to promptly isolate the leak. This condition is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
The first and second EAL conditions are focused on a loss of mass from the RCS due to unidentified leakage, pressure boundary leakage or identified leakage (as these leakage types are defined in the plant Technical Specifications). The third condition addresses an RCS mass loss caused by an UNISOLABLE leak through an interfacing system. These conditions thus apply to leakage into the containment, a secondary-side system (e.g.. steam generator tube leakage) or a location otitside of containment.
The leak rate values for each condition were selected because they are usually observable with normal Control Room indications. Lesser values typically require time-consuming calculations to determine (e.g., a mass balance calculation). The first condition uses a lower value that reflects the greater significance of unidentified or pressure hotindary leakage.
The release of mass from the RCS due to the as-designed/expected operation of a relief valve does not warrant an emergency classification. An emergency classification would he reqtiired if a mass loss is caused by a relief valve that is not functioning as designed/expected (e.g.. a relief valve sticks open and the line flow cannot be isotated).
The 1 5minute threshold duration allows sufficient time for prompt operator actions to isolate the leakage, if possible. If the leak is isolated, the RCS harrier was never lost.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via lCs of Recognition Category R or F.

MODE Applicability:
- Power Operation Definition(s):
N one Basis:
The first condition of this EAL identifies the need to cease critical reactor operations by actuation of the automatic Reactor Trip System (RTS) trip function. A reactor trip is automatically initiated by the RTS when certain continuously monitored parameters exceed predetermined setpoints (ref. 1).
For the purposes of emergency classification, successful manual trip actions are those which can be quickly performed from the reactor control console; SB-HS-1 on Panel RLOO3 or SB-HS-42 on Panel RLOO6. Reactor shutdown achieved by use of other trip actions, such as opening PGI9 and PG2O supply breakers, emergency horation or t;anttally driving control rods. do not constitute a successful manual trip (ref. 4). A successful manual turbine trip that suthseqtiently automatically trips the reactor does constitute a successful trip.
FoLlowing a successfut reactor trip, rapid insertion of the control rods occurs. Nuclear power promptly drops to a fraction of the original power level and then decays to a level severat decades less with a negative startup rate. The reactor power drop continues until reactor power reaches the point at which the influence of source neutrons on reactor power starts to be observable. A predictable post-trip response from an automatic reactor trip signal should therefore consist of a prompt drop in reactor power as sensed by the nuclear instrumentation and a lowering of power into the source range. A successful trip has therefore occurred when there is sufficient rod insertion from the trip of RTS to bring the reactor power below the immediate shutdown decay heat level of 5c (ref. 2, 3, 4).

(ref. 4) prescribe insertion of redundant manual trip signals to back tip the automatic RTS trip function and ensure reactor shutdown is achieved.
Even if the first subsequent manual trip signal inserts all control rods to the fullin position immediately after the initial failure of the automatic trip, the lowest level of classification that must be declared is an Unusual Event (ref. 4).
The ATWS Mitigation System Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC) logic will automatically initiate auxiliary feedwater and a turbine trip under conditions indicative of an Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) event (ref. 5).
In the event that the operator identifies a reactor trip is imminent and initiates a successful manual reactor trip before the arttornatic RTS trip setpoint is reached, no declaration is required. The successful manual trip of the reactor before it reaches its automatic trip setpoint or reactor trip signals caused by instrumentation channel failures do not lead to a potential fission prodtict barrier toss. However, if subsequent manual reactor trip actions fail to redtice reactor power below 5%. the event escalates to the Alert under EAL SA6. I.
If by procedure, operator actions include the initiation of an immediate manual trip following receipt of an automatic trip signal and there are no clear indications that the automatic trip failed (such as a time delay following indications that a trip setpoint was exceeded), it may he difficult to determine if the reactor was shut down because of automatic trip or manual actions. If a subsequent review of the trip actuation indications reveals that the automatic trip did not cause the reactor to he shut down, then consideration should be given to evaluating the fuel for potential damage, and the reporting requirements of 50.72 should be considered for the transient event.
This IC addresses a failure of the RTS to initiate or complete an automatic or manual reactor trip that results in a reactor shutdown, and either a subsequent operator manual action taken at the reactor control consoles or an automatic trip is successful in shutting down the reactor. This event is a precursor to a more significant condition and thus represents a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
Following the failure on an automatic reactor trip, operators will promptly initiate manual actions at the reactor control consoles to shut down the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor trip). If these manual actions ate successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plants decay heat removal systems.
If an initial manual reactor trip is unsuccessful, operators will promptly take manual action at another location(s) on the reactor control consoles to shut down the reactor (e.g., initiate a manual reactor trip) using a different switch). Depending upon several factors, the initial or suhseqtient effort to manually trip the reactor, or a concurrent plant condition, may lead to the generation of an automatic reactor trip signal. If a subseqtient manual or automatic trip is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within the capabilities of the plants decay heat removal systems.
A manual action at the reactor control consoles is any operator action, or set of actions, which catises the control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core (e.g., initiating a manual reactor trip). This action does not include manually driving in control rods or implementation of boron injection strategies. Actions taken at back-panels or other locations within the Control Room, or any location outside the Control Room, are not considered to be at the reactor control consoles.

Depending upon the plant response. escalation is also possible via IC FAI. Absent the plant conditions needed to meet either IC SA6 or FAI. an Unusual Event declaration is appropriate for this event.
A reactor shutdown is determined in accordance with applicable Emergency Operating Procedure criteria.

EIP-ZZ-00l01 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Basis:
Onsite/otfsite communications include one or more of the systems listed in Table 5-4 (ref. 1. 2).
Gaitronics system The Gaitronics system provides six separate independent communication channels--one general page, one Control Room page and four party lines. Commttnication between parties within the plant can be easily and quickly established by using the general page channel. Communication between parties in the plant and the Control Room can he easily and quickly established using the Control Room page channel. The party line channel is normally used after the page call is completed. As many as four party lines may communicate simultaneously. The portion of the PA system connecting the fuel transfer area in the Containment, the spent fuel area and new fuel handling area in the fuel building, and the control room can be isolated from the remainder of the PA system from the control room.
This permits extended use of the fuel handling communications system without disrttption to the remainder of the system.
- 2. Plant Radios A six channel 800 MHZ trunked radio system for overall plant site area coverage reaches out as far as the intake structctre. This two-way radio system provides communications for operating purposes with plant radio-equipped vehicles and plant hand-held portable radios. These systems are for use during normal operation or during a plant emergency. This radio system is available on the Control Room radio consoles, on the security radio consoles, on the EOF radio console, and the TSC radio console. This system is also in the field monitoring team vehicles and is tised to communicate during emergencies.
- 3. Plant Emergency Dedicated Phones Three independent telephone systems are available for communications between the Emergency Response Facilities: the Technical Assessment Bridge Line. the Dose Assessment Bridge Line and the Emergency Management Bridge Line. Each system operates independently from the other systems and allows for conference calls between the members of that bridge line group
- 4. Plant telephone system The telephone system consists of digital automatic switchboard (DPBX) equipment and telephone stations. The DPBX is provided with redundant processors for reliability. The telephone stations are located throughout the power block, in the main control room, in the various buildings around the site, in the security building, and in the service buildine where the administrative offices are located.
For emergency use, unlisted telephone numbers are provided for direct access to the outside local public telephone system. Company provided cell phones ARE considered part of the Plant Telephone System. The FLEX response satellite phones are in place for beyond design basis accidents and ARE NOT considered part of the Plant Telephone System.
- 5. ENS (Red Phone) line The NRC Emergency Notification System (ENS) is an FTS telephone used for official communications with NRC Headquarters. The NRC Headquarters has the capability to patch into the NRC Regional offices. The primary purpose of this phone is to provide a reliable method for the initial notification of the NRC and to maintain continuous communications with the NRC after initial notification. ENS telephones are located in the Control Room, TSC and EOF.

- 6. Back-Up Radio System (BURS)
The Back-up Radio System is a communication link between the Caltaway Plant and offsite emergency response agencies. The primary use of this system is the backup notification of offsite agencies and the coordination of offsite activities during a radio logic al emergency. The system uses $00 MHz radios. There are radio control base: units in the Plant Control Room. TSC and EOF.
as well as each county EOC and the State EOC. The backup to this system is the commercial touchtone telephone system Notifications may also be initiated through the Callaway County/City of Fulton EOC via the Security radio.
- 7. Sentry Notification System A computerized notification system linked between the Callaway Plant, the State Emergency Management Agency and the four (4) EPZ risk counties. It allows the Communicator to fill otit a notification form on screen and transmit the data simtdtaneotisly. Notifications on Sentry can be initiated from the Control Room. the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). or the Technical Support Center (TSC).
This EAL is the hot condition equivalent of the cold condition EAL CU5. I.
This IC addresses a significant loss of on-site or offsite communications capabilities. While not a direct challenge to plant or personnel safety. this event warrants prompt notifications to OROs and the NRC.
This IC should he assessed only when extraordinary means are being utilized to make communications possible (e.g.. use of non-plant. privately owned eqtiipment, relaying of on-site information via individuals or multiple radio transmission points, individuals being sent to offsite locations. etc.).
The first EAL condition addresses a total loss of the communications methods used in support of routine plant operations.
The second EAL condition addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify all OROs of an emergency declaration.
The third EAL addresses a total loss of the communications methods used to notify the NRC of an emergency declaration.

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Category: S System Malfunction Subuategory: 8 Containment Failure Initiating Condition: Failure to isolate containment or loss of containment pressure control.
EAL:
SUS.1 Unusual Event Any penetration is not isolated within 15 mm. of a VALID containment isolation signal.
OR Containment pressure > 27 psig with < one full train of containment depressurization equipment operating per design for 15 mm.
(Notes 1, 9)
Note ]. The Emergency Coordinator should declare the event promptly upon determining that time limit has been exceeded, or will likely be exceeded.
Note 9: One Containment Spray System train and one Containment Cooling System train comprise one lull train of depresstirization equipment.
MODE Applicability:
- Power Operation, 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s):
VALID An indication, report. or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (I) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicators operability, the conditions existence, or the reports accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.
Basis:
This EAL addresses a failure of one or more containment penetrations to automatically isolate (close) when required by an actuation signal. It also addresses an event that results in high containment pressure with a concurrent failure of containment pressure control systems. Absent challenges to another fission product barrier, either condition represents potential degradation of the leveL of safety of the plant.
For the first condition, the containment isolation signal mtist be generated as the restilt of an off-normal/accident condition (e.g., a safety injection or high containment pressure): a failure resulting from testing or maintenance does not warrant classification. The determination of containment and penetration status isolated or not isolated should be made in accordance with the appropriate criteria contained in the plant AOPs and EOPs. The 15-minute criterion is incltided to allow operators time to manually isolate the required penetrations, if possible.
Page 186 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases The second condition addresses a condition where containment pressure is greater than the setpoint at which containment energy (heat) removal systems are designed to automatically actuate. and less than one full train of eqtiiprnent is capable of operating per design. The 15-minute criterion is included to allow operators time to manually start equipment that may not have automatically started, if possible. The inability to start the required equipment indicates that containment heat removal/depressurization systems (e.g.. containment spray system or containment cooling system) are either lost or performing in a degraded manner.
The Containment Spray System consists of two separate trains of equal capacity. each capable of meeting the design bases requirement. Each train includes a containment spray pump. spray headers. nozzles, valves.
and piping. The refueling water storage tank (RWST) supplies borated water to the Containment Spray System dtiring the injection phase of operation. In the recirculation MODE of operation. Containment Spray pump suction is transferred from the RWST to the Containment stimps (ref. 2).
The Containment Cooling System consists of two trains of Containment cooling, each of sufficient capacity to supply l00 of the design cooling requirement. Each train of two fan units is supplied with cooling water from a separate train of essential service water (ESW). Air is drawn into the coolers through the fan and discharged to the steam generator compartments. pressurizer compartment. and instrument tunnel, and outside the secondary shield in the lower areas of containment. During normal operation. all four fan units may be operating. In post-accident operation following an actuation signal. the Containment Cooling System fans are designed to start automatically in slow speed if not already running (ref. 3).
The Containment pressure Hi-3 setpoint (27 psig. ref. 4, 5, 6) is the presstlre at which the equipment should actuate and begin performing its ftinction. The design basis accident analyses and evaltiations assume the loss of one Containment Spray System train and one Containment Cooling System train treE 7). Consistent with the design requirement, one full train of depressurization equipment is therefore defined to be the availability of one train of each system. If less than this equipment is operating and Containment pressure is above the actuation setpoint, the threshold is met.
This event wotild escalate to a Site Area Emergency in accordance with IC FS I if there were a conctirrent loss or potential loss of either the Fuel Clad or RCS fission product barriers.

SA9.I Alert The occurrence of any Table 5-5 hazardous event AND EITHER:
- Event damage has caused indications of degraded performance in at least one train of a SAFETY SYSTEM needed for the current operating MODE.
- The event has caused VISIBLE DAMAGE to a SAFETY SYSTEM component or structure needed for the ctirrent operating MODE.
Table S-5 Hazardous Events
- EXPLOSION
- FIRE
- HIGH WINDS or tornado strike
- Internal or external FLOODING event
- Seismic event (earthquake)
- Other events with similar hazard characteristics as determined by the Emergency Coordinator MODE Applicability:
- Power Operation. 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s):
EXPLOSION A rapid, violent and catastrophic failure of a piece of equipment due to combustion, chemical reaction or over pressurization. A release of steam (from high energy lines or components) or an electrical component failure (caused by short circuits, grounding, arcing, etc.) should not automatically be considered an explosion. Such events require a post-event inspection to determine if the attributes of an explosion are prese lit.
FIRE Combustion characterized by heat and light. Sources of smoke such as slipping drive belts or overheated electrical equipment do not constitute fires. Observation of flame is preferred but is NOT reqttired if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.
FLOODING A condition where water is entering a room or area faster than instaLled equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room or area.
HIGH WINDS Winds in excess of 40 mph (18 mIs) sustained, or 58 mph (26 mIs) gusting.

These are typically systems classified as safety-related (as defined in IOCFR5O.2):
Those structures. systems and components that are relied upon to remain functional during and following design basis events to assure:
The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary:
- 2. The capability to shtit down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition:
- 3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures.
VISIBLE DAMAGE Damage to a component or structure that is readily observable without measurements.

- Internal FLOODING may he caused by events such as component failures, equipment misalignment.
or outage activity mishaps (ref. 2).
- External flooding may he due to high lake level. Callaway plaill grade elevation is 840.0 ft. MSL.

- Seismic Category I structures are analyzed to withstand a sustained, design wind velocity of at least 100 mph. (ref. 4).
- Areas containing functions and systems reqitired for safe shutdown of the plant are identified by fire area (ref. 5).
- An explosion that degrades the performance of a SAFETY SYSTEM train or visibly damages a SAFETY SYSTEM component or structure wotild be classified tinder this EAL.
A single FAULTED steam generator would NOT require declaration per this EAL. Technical Specification Bases 3.7.4 explains that two intact Steam Generators are required for cooldown of the RCS and a third Steam Generator is assumed to be RUPTURED. If more than one Steam Generator is FAULTED, then this EAL is applicable.
This IC addresses a hazardous event that causes damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM. or a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components. needed for the current operating MODE. This condition significantly reduces the margin to a loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier, and therefore represents an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant.
The first condition addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM train that is in service/operation since indications for it will be readily available. The indications of degraded performance should be significant enough to cause concern regarding the operability or reliability of the SAFETY SYSTEM train.
Page 189 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases The second condition addresses damage to a SAFETY SYSTEM component that is not in service/operation or readily apparent through indications alone, or to a structure containing SAFETY SYSTEM components.
Operators will make this determination based on the totality of available event and damage report information. This is intended to he a brief assessment not requiring lengthy analysis or quantification of the damage.
Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via IC FS I or RS 1.

EIP-ZZ-00 101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Category F fission Product Barrier Degradation EAL Group: Hot Conditions (RCS temperature> 200°F): EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more hot operating MODES.
EALs in this category represent threats to the defense in depth design concept that precludes the release of hih1y radioactive fission products to the environment. This concept relies on multiple physical barriers any one of which, if maintained intact, precludes the release of significant amounts of radioactive fission products to the environment, The primary fissioti prodtict harriers are:
A. fuel Clad tFC): The Fuel Clad Barrier consists of the cladding material that contains the fuel pellets.
B. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS Barrier includes the RCS primary side and its connections up to and including the pressurizer safety and relief valves, and other connections up to and including the primary isolation valves.
C. Containment (CMT): The Containment Barrier includes the containment building and connections up to and including the outermost containment isolation valves. This barrier also includes the main steam. feedwater, and blowdown line extensions outside the containment building tip to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve. Contaitiment Barrier thresholds are used as criteria for escalation of the ECL from Alert to a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.
The EALs in this category require evaluation of the loss and potential loss thresholds listed in the fission prodtict barrier matrix of Table F-I tAttachment 2). Loss and Potential Loss signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. Loss means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials. Potential Loss means integrity of the harrier is threatened and could be lost if conditions continue to degrade. The number of barriers that are lost or potentially lost and the following criteria determine the appropriate emergency classification level:
Atert:
Aiiv loss or any potenttal loss of either Fuel Clad oi- RCS Site Area EmerRency:

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases The logic used for emergency classification based on fission product barrier monitoring should reflect the following considerations:
- The fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier are weighted more heavily than the Containment Barrier.
- Unusual Event ICs associated with RCS and fuel Clad Barriers are addressed under System Malfunction ICs.
- For accident conditions involving a radiological release, evaluation of the fission product barrier thresholds will need to be performed in conjunction with dose assessments to ensure correct and timely escalation of the emergency classification. For example, an evaluation of the fission prodtict barrier thresholds may result in a Site Area Emergency classitication while a dose assessment may indicate that an EAL for General Emergency IC RGI has been exceeded.
- The fission product harrier thresholds specified within a scheme reflect plant-specific Callaway design and operating characteristics.
- As used in this category, the term RCS leakage encompasses not just those types defined in Technical Specifications but also includes the loss of RCS mass to any location inside the primary containment, an interfacing system, or outside of the primary containment. The release of liquid or steam mass from the RCS due to the as-designed/expected operation of a relief valve is not considered to be RCS leakage.
- At the Site Area Emergency level. EAL users should maintain cognizance of how far present conditions are from meeting a threshold that would require a General Emergency declaration. For example, if the Fuel Clad and RCS fission proilict barriers were both lost, then there should be frequent assessments of containment radioactive inventory and integrity. Alternatively, if both the Fuel Clad and RCS fission product barriers were potentially lost, the Emergency Coordinator wotild have more assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.

At the Alert classilcation level. Fuel Clad and RCS barriers are weighted more heavily than the Containment barrier. Unlike the Containment barrier, loss or potential toss of either the Fuel Clad or RCS barrier may result in the relocation of radioactive materials or degradation of core cooling capability. Note that the loss or potential loss of Containment barrier in combination with loss or potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS barrier results in declaration of a Site Area Emergency under EAL FS I .

EIP-ZZ-00101 ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases Category: Fission Product Barrier Degradation Subcategory: N/A Initiating Condition: Loss or potential loss of any two barriers EAL:
fS.1 Site Area Emergency Loss or potential loss of any two barriers (Table F-i).
MODE Applicability:
- Power Operation. 2 - Startup, 3 - Hot Standby, 4 - Hot Shutdown Definition(s):
None Basis:
Fuel Clad, RCS and Containment comprise the fission prodtict harriers. Table F-I (Attachment 2) lists the fission prodtict barrier thresholds, bases and references.
At the Site Area Emergency classification level, each barrier is weighted equally. A Site Area Emergency is therefore appropriate for any combination of the toliowing conditions:
- One barrier loss and a second barrier less (i.e., loss - toss)
- One barrier loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., loss - potential loss)
- One barrier potential loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., potential loss - potential loss)
At the Site Area Emergency classification levet, the ability to dynamically assess the proximity of present conditions with respect to the threshold for a General Emergency is important. For example, the existence of Fuel Clad and RCS Barrier loss thresholds in addition to offsite dose assessments would recluire continual assessments of radioactive inventory and Containment integrity in anticipation of reaching a General Emergency classification. Alternatively, if both Ftiel Clad and RCS potential loss thresholds existed, the Emergency Coorclinator would have greater assurance that escalation to a General Emergency is less imminent.

EIP-ZZ-00J0l ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 2 Fission Product Barrier Loss/Potentia] Loss Matrix and Bases Introduction Table F- I lists the threshold conditions that define the Loss and Potential Loss of the three fission product barriers (Fuel Clad, Reactor Coolant System, and Containment). The table is structured so that each of the three barriers occupies adjacent columns. Each fission product barrier column is further divided into two columns; one for Loss thresholds and one for Potential Loss thresholds.
The first column of the table (to the left of the Fuel Clad Loss column) lists the categories (types) of fission product harrier thresholds. The fission product barrier categories are:
- 3. Inadequate Heat removal C. CMT Radiation / RCS Activity D. CMT Integrity or Bypass E. Emergency Coordinator Judgment Each category occupies a row in Table F-I thus forming a matrix defined by the categories. The intersection of each row with each Loss/Potential Loss column forms a cell in which one or more fission product barrier thresholds appear.
Thresholds are assigned sequential numbers within each Loss and Potential Loss coltirnn beginning with number one. In this manner, a threshold can be identified by its category title and number. For example, the first Fuel Clad barrier Loss in Category A would he assigned FC Loss A. I the third Containment barrier Potential Loss in Category C would he assigned CMT P-Loss C.3, etc.
If a cell in Table F-I contains more than one numbered threshold, each of the numbered thresholds, if exceeded, signifies a Loss or Potential Loss of the harrier. It is not necessary to exceed all of the thresholds in a category before declaring a barrier Loss/Potential Loss.
Subdivision of Table F-I by category facilitates association of plant conditions to the applicable fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds. This structure promotes a systematic approach to assessing the classification status of the fission product barriers.
When equipped with knowledge of plant conditions related to the fission product barriers, the EAL-user first scans down the category column of Table Fl, locates the likely category and then reads across the fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds in that category to determine if a threshold has been exceeded. If a threshold has not been exceeded, the EAL-user proceeds to the next likely category and continues review of the thresholds in the new category If the EAL-user determines that any threshold has been exceeded, by definition, the barrier is lost or potentially lost even if multiple thresholds in the same barrier column are exceeded, only that one barrier is lost or potentially lost. The EAL-user must examine each of the three fission product barriers to determine if other barrier thresholds in the category are lost or potentially lost. For example, if containment radiation is scifficiently high, a Loss of the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers and a Potential Loss of the Containment barrier can occur. Barrier Losses and Potential Losses are then applied to the algorithms given in EALs FGI.l, FS 1 .1, and FA I .Ito determine the appropriate emergency classification.
In the remainder of this Attachment, the Fuel Clad barrier threshold bases appear first, followed by the RCS barrier and finally the Containment barrier threshold bases. In each barrier, the bases are given according category Loss followed by category Potential Loss beginning with Category A, then B,..., E.

In combination with RCS Potential Loss B.l, meetin this threshold results in a Site Area Emer2ency.
Critical Safety Function Status Tree (CSFST) Heat Sink-RED path indicates the heat sink function is under extreme challenge and that some fuel clad damage may potentially occur (ref. 1).
The CSFSTs are normally monitored using the SPDS display on the Plant Computer (ref. 1).
The phrase and heat sink required precludes the need for classification for conditions in which RCS pressure is less than SG presstire or Heat Sink-RED path entry was created through operator action directed by an EOP. For example. FR-H. 1 is entered from CSFST Heat Sink-Red. Step I tells the operator to determine if heat sink is recjuired by checking that RCS pressure is greater than any non-faulted SG pressure and either RCS temperature is greater than 350°F or RCS pressure is greater than 360 psig. If these conditions exist, Heat Sink is required. Otherwise, the operator is to either return to the procedure and step in effect and place RHR in service for heat removal. For large LOCA events inside the Containment, the SGs are moot because heat removal through the containment heat removal systems takes place. Therefore.
Heat Sink Red should not be required and. should not be assessed for EAL classification because a LOCA event alone should not require higher than an Alert classificalion. (ref. 2).
This condition indicates an extreme challenge to the ability to remove RCS heat using the steam generators (i.e., loss of an effective .secondary-side beat sink). This condition represents a potential loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier. In accordance with lOPs, there may be unusual accident conditions during which operators intentionally redtice the heat removal capability of the steam geilerators: during these conditions, classification using threshold is not warranted.

Containment radiation monitor readings greater than 840 RIhr (ref. I ) indicate the release of reactor coolant.
with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage. into the Containment. The reading is derived assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 300 pCi/cc dose equivalent 1-131 into the Containment atmosphere. Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine spiking) allowed within technical specilcations and are therefore indicative of ftiel damage (approximately 5% clad failure depending on core inventory and RCS volume).
Monitors used for this fission product barrier loss threshold are the Containment High Range Radiation Monitors GT-RE-59 (Panel RM-l I channel 591) and GT-RE-60 (Panel RM-1 I channel 601). The threshold value of $40 R/hr is the HIHI (RED) alarm setpoint (ref. 2).
The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneous release of all reactor coolant mass into the containment, assuming that reactor coolant activity equals 300 pCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131. Reactor coolant activity above this level is greater than that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to an approximate range of 2% to 5% fuel clad damage. Since this condition indicates that a significant amount of ftiel clad damage has occurred, it represents a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier.
The radiation monitor reading in this threshold is higher than that specified for RCS Barrier Loss threshold C.l since it indicates a toss of both the Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier. Note that a combination of the two monitor readings appropriately escalates the ECL to a Site Area Emergency.

When reactor coolant activity reaches this level the Fuel Clad barrier is considered lost. (ref. 2).
This threshold indicates that RCS radioactivity coHceitration is greater than 300 pCi/gm dose equivalent 1-13 1.

Definition(s):
UNISOMBLE - An open or breached system line that cannot he isolated, remotely or locally.
Basis:
This threshold is based on the inability to maintain liquid inventory within the RCS by normaL operation of the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS). The CVCS includes three charging pumps: one Normal Charging Pump with a design flow capacity of 130 gpm. and two centrifugal charging pumps each with a design flow capacity of 150 gpm (ref. I). Approximately 12 gpm of charging flow bypasses the RCS due to leakage through the RCP seals; thus, the Normal Charging Pump can deliver 130 gprn 12 gpm 118 gpm (rounded to 120 gprn for readability) (ref. 2). A second charging pump being required is indicative of a substantial RCS leak exceeding the capacity of one charging pump (120 gpm) in the normal charging MODE with letdown isolated.
This threshold is based on an UNISOLABLE RCS leak that results in the inability to maintain pressurizer level within specified limits by operation of a normally used charging (makeup) pump. but an ECCS (SI) actuation has not occurred. The threshold is met when an operating procedure, or operating crew supervision, directs that a standby charging (makeup) pump be placed in service, indicating a substantial RCS leak exceeding the capacity of one charging pump (120 gpm) in the normal charging MODE with letdown isolated, to restore and maintain pressurizer level.
This threshold is applicable to unidentified and pressure boutnclary leakage, as well as identified leakage. It is also applicable to UNISOLABLE RCS leakage through an interfacing system. The mass loss may be into any location inside containment, to the secondaryside (i.e.. steam generator tube leakage) or outside of containment.
If a leaking steam generator is also FAULTED outside of containment, the declaration escalates to a Site Area Emergency since the Containment Barrier Loss threshold I .A will also he met.

- 1. A leakin or RUPTURED SG is FAULTED outside of containment.
Definition(s):
f4 ULTED The term applied to a steam generator that has a steam leak on the secondary side of sufficient size to cause an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator to become completely depressurized.
RUPTURED The condition of a steam generator in which primary-to-secondary leakage is of sufficient magnitude to require a safety injection.
Basis:
This threshold addresses a leaking or RUPTURED Steam Generator (SG) that is also FAULTED outside of containment. The condition of the SG, whether leaking or RUPTURED, is determined in accordance with the thresholds for RCS Barrier Potential Loss A. I and Loss A. 1, respectively. This condition represents a by pass of the containment barrier.
FAULTED isa defined term within the NEJ 99-01 methodology: this determination is not necessarily dependent upon entry into, or diagnostic steps within, an FOP. For example, if the pressure in a steam generator is decreasing uncontrollably (part of the FAULTED definition) and the FAULTED steam generator isolation procedure is not entered because EOP user rules are dictating implementation of another procedure to address a higher priority condition, the steam generator is still considered FAULTED for emergency classification purposes.
The FAULTED criterion establishes an appropriate lower bound on the size of a steam release that may require an emergency classification. Steam releases of this size are readily observable with normal Control Room indications. The lower hound for this aspect of the containment barrier is analogous to the lower bound criteria specified in 1C SU4 for the fuel clad barrier (i.e., RCS activity saluies) and IC SU5 for the RCS barrier (i.e., RCS leak rate values).
This threshold also applies to prolonged steam releases necessitated by operational considerations such as the forced steaming of a leaking or RUPTURED steam generator directly to atmosphere to cootdown the plant.
orto drive an auxiliary (emergency) feedwater pump. These types of conditions will result in a significant and sustained release of radioactive steam to the environment (and are thus similar to a FAULTED condition). If the TDAFP is funning and being supplied by a ruptured steam generator that has not been isolated. this threshold is met. Manual Operator action can NOT be credited.

A direct correlation to status trees can he made if the effectiveness of the restoration procedures is also evaltiated. tf core exit thermocouple (TC) readings are greater than I ,200F (ref. 1), Fuel Clad barrier is also lost.
This threshold addresses any other factors that may be used by the Emergency Coordinator in determining whether the RCS Barrier is potentially lost. The Emergency Director should also consider whether or not to declare the barrier potentially lost in the event that barrier status cannot be monitored.

I. Containment radiation> 14,000 R/hron GI-RE-59 (591) orGT-RE-60 (601).
Definition(s):
NC) fl C Basis:
Containment radiation monitor readings greater than 14.000 R/hr (ref. 1) indicate signihcant fuel damage well in excess of that required for loss of the RCS harrier and the Ftiel Clad barrier.
The readings are higher than that specified for Fctel Clad harrier Loss C. I and RCS barrier Loss C. I Containment radiation readings at or above the Containment barrier Potential Loss threshold, therefore, signify a loss of two fission product harriers and Potential Loss of a third, indicating the need to upgrade the emergency classification to a General Emergency.
Monitors used for this fission product barrier loss threshold are the Containment High Range Radiation Monitors GT-RE-59 (Panel RM-I 1 channel 591) and GT-RE-60 (Panel RM-l I channel 601) (ref. 2).
The radiation monitor reading corresponds to an instantaneotts release of all reactor coolant mass into the containment, assuming that 2Ocf of the fuel cladding has failed. This level of fuel clad failtire is well above that used to determine the analogous Fuel Clad Barrier Loss and RCS Barrier Loss thresholds.
NUREG-122$, Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nticlear Power Plant Accidents, indicates the fuel cLad failure must be greater than approximately 20 in order for there to be a major release of radioactivity requiring offsite protective actions. For this condition to exist. there must already have been a loss of the RCS Barrier and the Fuel Clad Barrier. It is therefore prudent to treat this condition as a potential loss of containment which would then escalate the ECL to a General Emergency.

AND EITHER:

Basis:
These thresholds address a situation where containment isolation is recluired and one of two conditions exists as discussed below. Users are reminded that there may be accident and release conditions that simultaneously meet both bul leted thresholds.
First Threshold Containment integrity has been lost, i.e., the actual containment atmospheric leak rate likely exceeds that associated with allowable leakage (or sometimes referred to as design leakage).
following the release of RCS mass into containment, containment pressure will fluctuate based on a variety of factors; a loss of containment integrity condition may (or may not) be accompanied by a noticeable drop in containment pressure. Recognizing the inherent difficulties in determining a containment leak rate dciring accident conditions, it is expected that the Emergency Coordinator will assess this threshold tising judgment.
and with due consideration given to current plant conditions, and available operational and radiological data (e.g., containment pressure, readings on radiation monitors outside containment. operating status of containment pressure control equipment, etc.).
Refer to the middle piping run of Figure 1. Two simplified examples are provided. One is leakage from a penetration and the other is leakage from an in-service system valve. Depending upon radiation monitor locations and sensitivities, the leakage could be detected by any of the four monitors depicted in the figure.
Another example wouLd be a loss or potential loss of the RCS barrier, and the simultaneous occurrence of two FAULTED locations on a steam generator where one fault is located inside containment (e.g.. on a steam or feedwater line) and the other outside of containment. In this case, the associated steam line provides a pathway for the containment atmosphere to escape to an area outside the containment.
Following the leakage of RCS mass into containment and a rise in containment pressure, there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable (design) containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of containment but should be evaluated using the Recognition Category R ICs.
Page 230 of 241 INFORMATION USE
EIP-ZZ-0010I ADDENDUM 2 Rev. 015 EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL TECHNICAL BASES DOCUMENT Attachment 2 Fission Product Barrier Loss/Potential Loss Matrix and Bases Second Threshold Conditions are such that there is an UNISOLABLE pathway for the migration of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment. As used here. the term environment includes the atmosphere of a room or area, outside the containment, that may. in turn, communicate with the outside-the-plant atmosphere (e.g., throtigh discharge of a ventilation system or atmospheric Leakage). Depending tipon a variety of factors. this condition may or may not be accompanied by a noticeable drop in containment pressure.
Refer to the top piping run of Figure 1. In this simplified example. the inboard and outboard isolation vatves remained open after a containment isolation was required tie.. containment isolation was not successful).
There is nos an UNISOLABLE pathway from the containment to the environment.
The existence of a filter is not considered in the threshold assessment. Filters do not remove fission product noble gases. In addition. a filter could become ineffective due to iodine and/or particulate loading beyond design limits (i.e.. retention ability has been exceeded) or water saturation from steaimhigh humidity in the release stream.
Leakage between two interfacing liquid systems. by itself, does not meet this threshold.
Refer to the bottom piping run of Figure 1. In this simplified example. leakage in an RCP seal cooler is allowing radioactive material to enter the Atixiliary Building. The radioactivity would he detected by the Process Monitor. If there is no leakage from the closed water cooling system to the Auxiliary Building, then no threshold has been met. If the pump developed a leak that allowed steam/water to enter the Auxiliary Building, then second threshold would he met. Depending upon radiation monitor locations ind sensitivities.
this leakage cotild he detected by any of the four monitors depicted in the figure and catise the first threshold to he met as well.
Following the leakage of RCS mass into containment and a rise in containment pressttre. there may be minor radiological releases associated with allowable containment leakage through various penetrations or system components. Minor releases may also occur if a containment isolation valve(s) fails to close but the containment atmosphere escapes to an enclosed system. These releases do not constitute a loss or potential loss of containment hut should be evaluated tising the Recognition Category R ICs.
The status of the containment barrier during an event involving steam generator tube leakage is assessed tising Loss Threshold A. I Callaway Basis Reference(s):

- 2. Indications of RCS leakage outside of containment.
Detlnition(s):
N one Basis:
ECA-l.2 LOCA Outside Containment (ref. I) provides instructions to identify and isolate a LOCA outside of the containment. Potential RCS leak pathways outside containment include (ret. 1, 2):
- Safety Injection
- Chemical & Volume Control
- RCP seals
- PZR/RCS Loop sample lines Containment sump. temperattire. pressure and/or radiation levels will increase if reactor coolant mass is leaking into the containment. If these parameters have not increased, then the reactor coolant mass may be leaking outside of containment (i.e., a containment bypass sequence). tncreases in sump. temperature.
presstire, flow and/or radiation level readings outside of the containment may indicate that the RCS mass is being lost outside of containment.
Unexpected elevated readings and alarms on radiation monitors with detectors outside containment should be corroborated with other available indications to confirm that the source is a loss of RCS mass outside of containment. If the fttel clad barrier has not been lost, radiation monitor readings otitside of containment may not increase significantly: however, other unexpected changes in sump levels, area temperatures or pressures, flow rates. etc. should he sufficient to determine if RCS mass is being lost outside of the containment.
The sum of the leakage rates of less than or equal to I gpm are acceptable outside of containment per Technical Specification. These systems include the recirculation portion of the Containment Spray, Safety Injection, Chemical and Volume Control, and Residual Heat Removal.
Refer to the middle piping run of Figure 1. In this simplified example, a leak has occurred at a reducer on a pipe carrying reactor coolant in the Auxiliary Building. Depending upon radiation monitor locations and sensitivities, the leakage could be detected by any of the four monitors depicted in the figure and cause threshold D.l to be met as weLl.
To ensure proper escalation of the emergency classification, the RCS leakage outside of containment mtist be related to the mass loss that is causing the RCS Loss and/or Potential Loss threshold A. I to be met.

- 1. CSFST Containment-RED path conditions met.
Detl nhtion( s):
None Basis:
Critical Safety function Status Tree CSFST) Containment-RED path is entered if containment pressure is greater than or equal to 48 psig and represents an extreme challenge to safety function. The CSFSTs are normally monitored using the SPDS display on the Plant Computer (ref. 1).
4$ psig is the containment pressure that is expected to occur following a design basis Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) (ref. 2) and is the pressure used to define CSFST Containment Red Path conditions.
If containment pressure exceeds the pressure that is expected to occur following a design basis Loss of Coolatit Accident (LOCA). there exists a potential to lose the Containment Barrier. To reach this level. thei-e must be an inadequate core cooling condition for an extended period of time: therefore. the RCS and Fuel Clad barriers would already be lost. Thus, this threshold is a discriminator between a Site Area Emergency and General Emergency since there is now a potential to lose the third barrier.

- 2. Containment hydrogen concentration 4%.
Definition(s):
None Basis:
Following a design basis accident, hydrogen gas may be generated inside the containment by reactions such as zirconium metal with water, corrosion of materials of construction and racliolysis of aqueous solution in the core and sump. (ref. 1).
Callaway is equipped with a Hydrogen Control System (HCS) which serves to limit or reduce combustible gas concentrations in the Containment. The HCS is an engineered safety feature with redundant hydrogen recombiners. hydrogen mixing system, hydrogen monitoring subsystem, and a backup hydrogen purge subsystem. The HCS is designed to maintain the Containment hydrogen concentration below 4% by volume (ref. I).
HCS operation is prescribed by EOPs if Containment hydrogen concentration should reach 0.5% by volume (ref. 4). If the Potential Loss threshold is reached or exceeded, the primary means of controlling Containment hydrogen concentration must have failed to perform its design function or has otherwise been inadeqtiate in mitigating the hydrogen generation rate. For either case, continued hydrogen production may yield a flammable hydrogen concentration and a consequent threat to Containment integrity.
To generate such levels of combustible gas, loss of the Fttel Clad and RCS barriers must have occurred.
With the Potential Loss of the containment barrier, the threshotd hydrogen concentration, therefore, will likely warrant declaration of a General Emergency.
Two Containment hydrogen monitors (GS Al-It) and GS Al-19) with a range of 0% to 10% provide indication on Control Room Panel RLO2O and ERF[S (ref. 3). The hydrogen monitors require a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> warmup period when starting from the OFF position and 15 minutes when starting from STANDBY (ref. 4, 5). If an actual hydrogen concentration meastirement is unavailable. CA-3 (ref. 6) may be used to estimate the Containment atmosphere hydrogen concentration.
The existence of an explosive mixttire means, at a minimum, that the containment atmospheric hydrogen concentration is sufficient to support a hydrogen burn (i.e.. at the lower deflagration limit). A hydrogen burn will raise containment pressure and could result in collateral equipment damage leading to a loss of containment integrity. It therefore represents a potential loss of the Containment Barrier.

(Notes 1, 9)
Note I: The Emergency Coordinator should declare the event promptly upon determining that time limit has been cxceeded. or will likely be exceeded.
Now 9: One Containment Spray System train and one Containment Cooling System train comprise one full train of depressurization equipment.
Definition(s):
None Basis:
The Containment Spray System consists of two separate trains of equal capacity, each capable of meeting the design bases requirement. Each train includes a containment spray pump, spray headers, nozzles, valves.
and piping. The refueling water storage tank (RWST) sttpplies borated water to the Containment Spray System during the injection phase of operation. In the recirculation MODE of operation, Containment Spray pump suction is transferred from the RWST to the Containment sumps (ref. 2).
The Containment Cooling System consists of two trains of Containment cooling, each of sufficient capacity to supply 100% of the design cooling recluirement. Each train of two fan units is supplied with cooling water from a separate train of essential service water (ESW). Air is drawn into the coolers through the fan and discharged to the steam generator compartments, pressurizer compartment, and instrument tunnel, and outside the secondary shield in the lower areas of containment. Dtiring normal operation. all four fan units may he operating. In postaccident operation following an actuation signal. the Containment Cooling System fans are designed to start atitomaticalty in slow speed if not already running (ref. 3).
The Containment pressure setpoint (27 psig. ref. 4. 5. 6)is the pressure at which the equipment shotitd actuate aoL! begin performing its function. The design basis accident analyses and evaluations assume the loss of one Containment Spray System train and one Containment Cooling System train (ref. 7). Consistent with the design requirement. one full train of depressurization equipment is therefore defined to be the availability of one train of each system. If less than this equipment is operating and Containment pressure is above the actuation setpoint, the threshold is met.
This threshold describes a condition where containment pressure is greater than the setpoint at which containment energy (heat) removal systems are designed to automatically actuate, and less than one full train of equipment is capable of operating per design. The 15-minute criterion is incicided to allow operators time to manually start equipment that may not have automatically started, if possible. This threshold represents a potential loss of containment in that containment heat removal/depressurization systems (e.g., containment sprays. ice condenser fans. etc., but not including containment venting strategies) are either Lost or performing in a degraded manner.
