11 Salem Page 1 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-201 1. PURPOSE This document provides an explanation and rationale for each Salem Generating Station (SGS) Emergency Action Level (EAL). It should be used to facilitate review of the SGS EALs, provide historical documentation for future reference and serve as a training aid. Decision-makers responsible for implementation of the Event Classification Guide (ECG) may 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 information may also be useful in training, for explaining event classifications to offsite officials, and facilitate regulatory review and approval of the classification scheme.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.

This document is controlled pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(q).2. Emergency Classification Descriptions The NRC and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) established four emergency classes for fixed nuclear facilities.

An emergency class is used for grouping off-normal nuclear power plant conditions according to their relative radiological seriousness and the time sensitive onsite and offsite actions needed to respond to such conditions.

The four emergency classes are (in order of less severe to most severe): " Unusual Event (UE)* Alert (A)* Site Area Emergency (SAE)* General Emergency (GE)2.1 Unusual Event Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicates a security threat to facility protection has been initiated.

• The lowest level of emergency at the plant, which can usually be handled by the normal operatirig shift.Salem Page 2 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 1 1-2Q1* No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs. Dose consequences in Unrestricted Areas would not reach 20 mRem TEDE.2.2 Alert Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual 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.* Emergency Response personnel are required in addition to the normal operating shift.The entire emergency response organization is called in. The TSC is activated, and the EOF and ENC are manned and may activate if needed for support.* Any release of radioactive material is expected to be limited to a small fraction of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels. Dose consequences in Unrestricted Areas would not reach 100 mRem TEDE.2.3 Site Area Emergency Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or likely failure of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public.* The entire emergency response organization is activated.

• Any release of radioactive material is not expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the plant boundary.

Dose consequences in Unrestricted Areas not to exceed 1000 mRem TEDE.2.4 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.* The entire emergency response organization is activated.

• Release of radioactive material can be expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels of 1000 mRem TEDE in Unrestricted Areas.3. Fission Product Barriers Many of the EALs derived from the NEI 99-01 methodology are fission product barrier based.That is, the conditions that define the EALs pertain to the loss or potential loss of one or more Salem Page 3 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-201 of the three fission product barriers. "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" infers an increased probability of barrier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier.3.1 Barrier Descriptions The EAL fission product barriers are: Fuel Clad Barrier (FB): The Fuel Clad barrier consists of the zircalloy or stainless steel fuel bundle tubes that contain the fuel pellets.Reactor Coolant System Barrier (RB): The Reactor Coolant System barrier includes the Reactor Coolant System 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.Containment (CB): 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 up to and including the outermost secondary side isolation valve.3.2 Emergency Classification Based on Fission Product Barrier Degradation The following criteria for event classification relate to fission product barrier loss or potential loss: UNUSUAL EVENT ANY loss or ANY potential loss of Containment ALERT ANY loss or ANY potential loss of either Fuel Clad or RCS SITE AREA EMERGENCY Loss or potential loss of ANY two barriers OR Potential loss of 2 barriers with the loss of the 3 rd barrier GENERAL EMERGENCY Loss of ANY two barriers and loss or potential loss of third barrier Salem Page 4 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-201 Discrete threshold values associated with fission product barrier loss and potential loss are given in Attachment 1, Use of Fission Product Barrier Table. The bases for the thresholds are discussed in the following ECG sections:* EP-SC-1 11-221 EAL Bases for Fuel Clad Barrier* EP-SC-111-222 EAL Bases for RCS Barrier* EP-SC-1 11-223 EAL Bases for Containment Barrier A point system (described in Attachment

1) is used to determine fission product barrier emergency classification levels as well as Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) if a General Emergency is declared.4. EAL Relationship to EOPs Where possible, the EALs have been made consistent with and utilize the conditions defined in the SGS Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs). While the symptoms that drive operator actions specified in the EOPs are not indicative of all possible conditions which warrant emergency classification, they define the symptoms, independent of initiating events, for which reactor plant safety and/or fission product barrier integrity are threatened.

When these symptoms are clearly representative of one of the NEI Initiating Conditions, they have been utilized as an EAL. This permits rapid classification of emergency situations based on plant conditions without the need for additional evaluation or event diagnosis.

Although some of the EALs presented here are based on conditions defined in the EOPs, classification of emergencies using these EALs is not dependent upon EOP entry or execution.

The EALs can be utilized independently or in conjunction with the EOPs.5. Symptom-Based vs. Event-Based Approach To the extent possible, the EALs are symptom-based; that is, the action level threshold is defined by values of key plant operating parameters that identify emergency or potential emergency conditions.

This approach is appropriate because it allows the full scope of variations in the types of events to be classified as emergencies.

However, a purely symptom-based approach is not sufficient to address all events for which emergency classification is appropriate.

Particular events to which no predetermined symptoms can be ascribed have also been utilized as EALs since they may be indicative of potentially more serious conditions not yet fully realized.Salem Page 5 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-201 6. EAL Organization 6.1 EAL Groups The EAL scheme is divided into three broad groups: " EALs applicable under all plant operating modes -This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.

• EALs applicable only under hot operating modes -This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Hot Standby, Startup or Power Operations operating modes.* EALs applicable only under cold operating modes -This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown or Refueling operating modes or when the Reactor Vessel is defueled.The purpose 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.

6.2 EAL Categories and Subcategories Within each EAL group, EALs are assigned to categories/subcategories.

Category titles generally align with the EAL Recognition Categories of NEI 99-01.Subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user.

Subcategories are used as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds.

Salem Page 6 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-201 The SGS EAL categories/subcategories and their relationship to NEI Recognition Categories are listed below.SGS EALs Category T Subcategory Group: Any Operating Mode: R -Abnormal Rad Release / Rad Effluent 1 -Offsite Rad Conditions 2 -Onsite Rad Conditions/Fuel Pool Events 3 -CR/CAS Rad E -ISFSl Spent Fuel Transit H -Hazards & Other Conditions Affecting 1 -Natural & Destructive Phenomena Plant Safety 2 -Fire or Explosion 3 -Hazardous Gas 4 -Security 5 -Control Room Evacuation 6 -EC Judgment Group: Hot Conditions:

Operating Mode Applicability With the exception of ISFSI (which is not assigned an operating mode), NEI 99-01 assigns one or more operating modes to each EAL. The ISFSI EAL will be applicable in all operating modes at Salem Generating Station; as such, operating mode applicability is N/A for the ISFSI EAL.7.1 Operating Mode Definitions THERMAL MODE K eff POWER* TAVG 1.

If a lower or higher plant operating mode is reached before the emergency classification is made, the declaration shall be based on the operating mode that existed at the time the event occurred.For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that have Cold Shutdown or Refueling for mode applicability, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during any subsequent heat-up. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in Hot Shutdown or higher.Salem Page 8 of 11 Rev. 0 (draft E)Introduction SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-201 8.

The Control Room Supervisor (CRS) assumes operational command and control responsibility for the shift crew but not as the EC. The CRS should ensure that the SM is immediately called back to the control room on any conditions that require ECG assessment.

Only if the SM is not able (sick or hurt) may the CRS serve as the EC.1. EC Judgment The EALs described in the ECG are not all inclusive and will not identify each and every condition, parameter or event which could lead to an event classification.

The following guidance should be used by the EC: IF an EAL has been exceeded, but satisfaction of the Initiating Condition (IC) is in question, THEN CLASSIFY the event lAW the EAL.IF however, it is clear that the EAL has NOT been exceeded (and will not), THEN DO NOT classify the event.IF an IC has been satisfied, but exceeding the specific EAL is in question, THEN CLASSIFY the event lAW the IC.In any case, IF the plant conditions are equivalent to one of the four emergency classes as described in Section 2 of EP-SC-1 11-201, THEN CLASSIFY the event based on EC discretion lAW EALs in Category H.2. Assessment Time 2.1 Timeliness Assessment of an Emergency Condition should be completed in a timely manner, which is considered to be within 15 minutes of when events are known or should have been known.If an EAL specifies a duration time (e.g., loss of annunciators for 15 minutes or longer), the assessment time runs concurrently with the EAL duration time and is the same length.Salem Page 1 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-202 2.2 Duration Time Exceeded If an event is recognized or reported and the required duration time is known to have already been exceeded, the duration portion of the EAL should be considered as being satisfied and the assessment time for the remaining portions of the EAL should be within 15 minutes from the time of recognition.

3. Implementing Actions The ECG is not a stand-alone document.

At times, the ECG will refer the user to other attachments or procedures for accomplishment of specific evolutions such as: Accountability, Recovery, development of PARs, etc.The ECG should be considered an "Implementing Procedure" and used in accordance with the requirements of a Level 2 -Reference Use procedure as defined in HU-AA-1 04-101, Procedure Use and Adherence.

The ECG classification sections allow for judgment and decision making as to whether or not an EAL is exceeded.NOTE Comparison of redundant instrumentation, indications, and/or alarms should be used to confirm actual plant conditions.

4. Classification The primary tools for determining the emergency classification level are the EAL wallcharts.

The user of the EAL wallcharts may (but is not required to) consult the EAL Technical Bases in order to obtain additional information concerning the EALs under classification consideration.

To use the EAL wallcharts, follow this sequence: 1. Assess the event and/or plant conditions and determine which EAL Group is most appropriate.

2. Review EAL categories and subcategories on the appropriate wallcharts.

3. For each applicable subcategory, review EALs in the subcategory beginning with the highest emergency classification level to the lowest classification level (left to right).4. If the HOT conditions wallchart is employed, also review the Fission Product Barrier (FPB) Table (Wallchart sheet 3) as follows: a. Examine the FPB categories in the left column of the table.b. Select the category that most likely coincides with event conditions.

c. Review all thresholds in this category for each fission product barrier.d. For each threshold that is exceeded, identify its point value and determine the classification level in accordance with the instructions on the Fission Product Barrier Table (or in EAL Technical Basis, Attachment 1).Salem Page 2 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-202 NOTE The Emergency Coordinator should classify and declare an emergency before an Emergency Action Level (EAL) is exceeded if, in the EC's judgment, it is determined that the EAL will be exceeded within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> 5. REVIEW the associated EALs as compared to the event and SELECT the highest appropriate emergency.

If identification of an EAL is questionable refer to paragraph 1 above.If there is any doubt with regard to assessment of a particular EAL, the ECG EAL Technical Basis Document should be reviewed.

Words contained in an EAL that appear in uppercase and bold print (e.g., VALID) are defined at the end of the basis for the EAL. Words or numbers contained in an EAL that are in bold print but not uppercase are EAL threshold values (e.g., _ 15 minutes).6. If an EAL has been exceeded, equal level EALs or lower level EALs are not required to be seperately reported as long as the applicable information is communicated to the NRC using ECG Attachment 5, EP-SC-111-F5, NRC Data Sheet Completion Reference.

7. When the Shift Manager (SM) is the Emergency Coordinator, the Shift Technical Advisor (STA) is responsible to perform an independent verification of the EAL classification.

The STA verification does not alleviate the requirement of the SM to make a timely classification.

Should the SM fill the STA role, independent verification of the EAL classification will be delegated to another on-shift SRO, the Independent Assessor.8. Identify and implement the referenced ECG form based on the Emergency Classification Level.* Unusual Event Implement EC-SC-111-F1

• Alert Implement EC-SC-1 11-F2" Site Area Emergency Implement EC-SC-1 1 1-F3* General Emergency Implement EC-SC-1 11-F4* Unusual Event (Common Site) Implement EC-SC-1 11-F8 9. Continue assessment after classification and attachment initiation, by returning to the EAL wallcharts to review EALs that may result in escalation/de-escalation of the emergency level.Salem Page 3 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -202 5. Emergency Short Duration Events 1. A Short Duration emergency event is a transitory event that meets or exceeds one or more EALs for less than 15 minutes (i.e., action is taken and the plant returned to a condition in which no EAL applies).

For a Short Duration event the Control Room Staff is aware of the event and realizes that an EAL had been exceeded.2. Short Duration events that occur will be assessed and emergency classification made, if appropriate, within 15 minutes of control room indications or the receipt of the information, indicating that an EAL has or had been exceeded.

This classification is to be made even if no EALs are currently being exceeded (i.e., actions have been taken to stabilize the Plant such that no EALs currently apply).3. For some events, the condition may be corrected before a declaration has been made.The key consideration in this situation is to determine whether or not further plant damage occurred while the corrective actions were being taken. In some situations, this can be readily determined, in other situations, further analyses (e.g., coolant radiochemistry sampling, may be necessary).

Classify the event as indicated and terminate the emergency once assessment shows that there were no consequences from the event and other termination criteria are met.4. Guidance for classifying transient events addresses the period of time of event recognition and classification (15 minutes).

However, in cases when EAL declaration criteria may be met momentarily during the normal expected response of the plant, declaration requirements should not be considered to be met when the conditions are a part of the designed plant response, or result from appropriate Operator actions.6. Conditions Discovered After-the-Fact There may be cases in which a plant condition that exceeded an EAL was not recognized at the time of occurrence but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g., as a result of routine log or record review), and the condition no longer exists. In these cases, an emergency should not be declared.

Reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 are applicable and the guidance of NUREG-1022, Rev. 2, Section 3, should be applied.1. An After-the-Fact event is defined as an event that exceeded an EAL threshold and was not recognized at the time of occurrence but is identified greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after the condition has occurred (e.g., as a result of a routine log review, record review, post trip review, engineering evaluation) and the condition no longer exists.2. For an After-the-Fact event the Control Room Staff was either not aware of the event or did not realize that an EAL was exceeded at the time of the occurrence.

3. Plant emergency events that are in progress or have occurred with ongoing adverse consequences/effects should not be considered After-the-Fact events and should therefore be classified and declared as an ongoing emergency event.Salem Page 4 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-202

4. EMERGENCY CONDITIONS

-After-the-Fact events that occur will be assessed and evaluated to ensure that no EAL currently applies. An emergency declaration is NOT required and a non-emergency, One-Hour Report should be initiated in accordance with non-emergency RALs in the ECG.7. NRC Communications During An Emergency Guidance 1. Complete and accurate communications with the NRC Operations Center during emergencies is required and expected.

The purpose of notifying the NRC within one-hour of an emergency, is to provide event information when immediate NRC action may be required to protect the public health and safety OR when the NRC needs accurate and timely information to respond to heightened public concern. If the information we provide is not accurate or does not contain sufficient detail, then we hamper the NRC from doing their job.2. The NRC Data Sheet, along with the Initial Contact Message Form, is the primary vehicle to ensure the NRC is kept informed.

General Guidance on completing the event description portion of the NRC Data Sheet is provided in the NRC Data Sheet (ECG Attachment 5).8. Event Retraction Guidance IF an ENS notification to the NRC was made as directed by the applicable ECG Attachment AND it is later determined that the event or condition is not reportable, THEN the notification may be retracted as follows: 1. OBTAIN both the Operations Shift Manager's and Shift Manager's approval of any proposed retractions.

Ensure Reg Assurance is consulted prior to approval to retract an Event.2. COMPLETE "page 1" of ECG Attachment, EP-SC-1 11-F5, NRC Datasheet Completion Reference, providing a retraction of the original notification.

Event Description Section of NRC Data Sheet should explain the rationale for the retraction.

3. NOTIFY the NRC Operations Center and NRC Resident Inspector.

4. RECORD on the "NRC Data Sheet" the name of the NRC contact that received the retraction information.

5. FORWARD the retraction "NRC Data Sheet" with the rest of the original attachment of the ECG that was implemented when the original notification was made to the Operations Shift Manager.Salem Page 5 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-202 9. Common Site Events Guidance 1. Selected EALs in Category H (Unusual Event level only) have been designated as"Common Site" events. These events will be annotated with the words "Common Site" just below the mode applicability line in the wallcharts and next to the classification level in the EAL Bases document.2. The Common Site UE ECG Attachment 8, EP-SC-1 11 -F8, Declaration of "Common Site" UE, will direct the SM to establish agreement on which SM will declare and report the event. Therefore, either Salem or Hope Creek will report Common Site Unusual Events, but not both.3. Events classified at an Alert or higher level require plant specific information to be provided to the states of New Jersey and Delaware, the NRC, and to PSEG Emergency Response Facilities and therefore will not be classified as common site events.10. EAL Classification Considerations

1. Planned evolutions involve preplanning to address the limitations imposed by the condition, the performance of required surveillance testing, and the implementation of specific controls prior to knowingly entering the condition in accordance with the specific requirements of the SGS Technical Specifications.

Activities which cause the site to operate beyond that allowed by the SGS Technical Specifications, planned or unplanned, may result in an EAL threshold being met or exceeded.

Planned evolutions to test, manipulate, repair, perform maintenance or modifications to systems and equipment that result in an EAL value being met or exceeded are not subject to classification and activation requirements as long as the evolution proceeds as planned and is within the operational limitations imposed by the specific operating license. However, these conditions may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72.2. All classifications are to be based upon VALID indications, reports or conditions.

Indications, reports or conditions are considered VALID when they are verified by (1)an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indications, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indication's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

3. Although the majority of the EALs provide very specific thresholds, the Emergency Coordinator must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL is IMMINENT.

If, in the judgment of the Emergency Coordinator, an IMMINENT situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded.

While this is particularly prudent at the higher emergency classification levels (as the early classification may provide for more effective implementation of protective measures), it is nonetheless applicable to all emergency classification levels.Salem Page 6 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-202 4. When multiple simultaneous events occur, the emergency classification level is based on the highest EAL reached. For example, two Alerts remain in the Alert category.

Or, an Alert and a Site Area Emergency is a Site Area Emergency.

Further guidance is provided in RIS 2007-02, Clarification of NRC Guidance for Emergency Notifications During Quickly Changing Events.5. Another important aspect of usable EAL guidance is the consideration of what to do when the risk posed by an emergency is clearly decreasing.

A combination approach involving recovery from General Emergencies and some Site Area Emergencies and termination from Unusual Events, Alerts, and certain Site Area Emergencies causing no long term plant damage appears to be the best choice. Downgrading to lower emergency classification levels adds notifications but may have merit under certain circumstances.

Refer to procedure NC.EP-EP.ZZ-0405, Emergency Termination

-Reduction

-Recovery, for detailed directions.

6. The logic used for the Fission Product Barrier EALs reflects the following considerations:

• The Fuel Clad Barrier and the RCS Barrier are weighted more heavily than the Primary Containment Barrier. Unusual Events associated with RCS and Fuel Clad Barriers are addressed under EALs in Category S, System Malfunctions.

• The ability to escalate to higher emergency classification levels as an event deteriorates must be maintained.

For example, RCS leakage steadily increasing would represent an increasing risk to public health and safety." The Primary Containment Barrier should not be declared lost or potentially lost based on exceeding Technical Specification action statement criteria, unless there is an event in progress requiring mitigation by the Primary Containment barrier. When no event is in progress (Loss or Potential Loss of either Fuel Clad and/or RCS barrier) the Primary Containment Barrier status is addressed by Technical Specifications.

7. Since Salem is a multi-unit station with shared safety-related system and functions, emergency classification level upgrading must also consider the effects of a loss of a common system on more than one unit (e.g., potential for radioactive release from more than one core). For example, the control panels for both units in close proximity within the same room. Thus, Control Room evacuation most likely would affect both units. There are a number of other systems and functions which may be shared. This must be considered in the emergency classification level declaration.

8. SGS and HCGS share a common ISFSl. Classification of events related to spent fuel stored at the ISFSI appear only in the HCGS EAL scheme. Classification of events related to the transfer of spent fuel from SGS to the ISFSI are addressed in the SGS EAL scheme (EAL EU1.1).Salem Page 7 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-I 11-202 This page intentionally blank Salem Page 8 of 8 Rev. 0 (draft E)Usage EALs for: Abnormal Radiologi~cal Levels&ISFSI SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-203 EAL Category: EAL Subcategory:

Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RU 1.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-203 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The column "UE" liquid release values in Table R-1 represent two (2) times the High Alarm setpoints ( except 2R1 8 which is 1.5 times) associated with the specified monitors.

The High Alarm setpoints are obtained from channel calibrations procedures as listed in the reference section of this bases.Instrumentation that may be used to assess this EAL is listed below: " Containment Fan Coil Process 1(2)R13A/B (Upper Range is 1.OOE+06 cpm)Service water is used as the cooling medium for the containment fan coil units (CFCUs)and could be contaminated if the cooling coil leaks with containment pressure above Service Water pressure.

Since the Service Water System discharges into Circ Water and then back to the river, the fan cooler units will be indirectly monitored for radioactivity.

This is done through the use of two monitors for the five fan coolers. The two monitors sample two of the three Circ Water headers that contain Service Water used to cool the CFCUs just before it discharges back to the river. Alarms on these monitors would be indicative of a CFCU leak but could also be associated with other systems including from the pathways monitored by the RI 8s, R1 9s and the R37, which also discharge into Circ Water and are monitored by the 1(2)R1 3A/B. If simultaneous Rad Alarms are received on an R1 3 monitor along with any R1 8s, R1 9s or R37 monitor, then the source of the Rad effluent may not be a CFCU leak and further investigation would be warranted.

However, exceeding the EAL threshold value for > 60 minutes should result in Unusual Event classification even if the exact source remains questionable." Liquid Radwaste Disposal Process 1(2)R18 (Upper Range is 1.OOE+06 cpm)This channel continuously monitors all Waste Disposal System liquid releases from the plant. Automatic valve closure action is initiated by this monitor when a high radiation level is indicated and alarmed in the Control Room. Liquid Radwaste discharges to Circ Water which then discharges to the Delaware River.This Unit 1 EAL threshold is based on 2 times the High Alarm Set Point as defined in the Channel Calibration procedure.

This Unit 2 EAL threshold is based on a value that is approximately

1.5 times

the High Alarm Set Point as defined in the Channel Calibration procedure which ensures that the threshold value is within the upper range of the monitor.Since the ranges of the 1(2) R1 8s monitors do not support EAL threshold values of 200 times the high alarm value, no Alert threshold is provided on Table R-1. If the release pathway could not be isolated as expected, the EC should refer to EAL RA1.3 for Alert threshold values based on sample analysis.Salem Page 3 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RU 1.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-203* Steam Generator Blowdown Process 1(2)R19A-D (Upper Range is 1.OOE+06 cpm)Each of these channels (four channels per unit) monitors the liquid phase of the steam generators for radioactivity, which would indicate a primary-to-secondary system leak.The four steam generator blowdown sample lines each have a radiation monitor. A high radiation alarm signal will close the No. 12 (22) steam generator blowdown tank inlet valves and the steam generator blowdown isolation valves on the affected steam generator." Non-Rad Liquid Waste 2R37 (Upper Range is 1.OOE+06 cpm)The non-radwaste basin provides a potential release path due to the fact that steam generator blowdown is directed to the basin during plant startup. This monitor provides for continuous monitoring of the discharge from the non-radwaste basin. Non-Rad Liquid Waste discharges to Circ Water which then discharges to the Delaware River.Definitions:

Releases in excess of two times the site Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Section 3/4.11.1 or 3/4.11.2 limits that continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and hence, a potential degradation in the level of safety. The final integrated dose (which is very low in the UNUSUAL EVENT emergency class) is not the primary concern here;it is the degradation in plant control implied by the fact that the release was not isolated within 60 minutes.Table R-2 provides calculated radiological release noble gas and iodine sample concentrations that equate to a release that is 2 times the ODCM limit (Section 3/4.11.2) of 500 mRem/year as well as specifying liquid release effluent sample streams 2 times the ODCM limits (Section 3/4.11.1).

Each Salem unit has a single gaseous release point (Plant Vent) for which a sample concentration threshold has been calculated.

Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, or control and monitor intentional releases.

The occurrence of extended, uncontrolled radioactive releases to the environment is indicative of a degradation in these features and/or controls.The threshold values that equate to a multiple of two hundred times the ODCM limits are specified in EAL RA1.2 only to distinguish between non-emergency conditions.

While this multiple obviously corresponds to an off-site dose or dose rate, the emphasis in classifying this event is the degradation in the level of safety of the plant, not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate.This EAL includes any release for which a radioactivity discharge permit was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm setpoints, etc.) on the applicable permit.This EAL is intended for sites that have established effluent monitoring on non-routine release pathways for which a discharge permit would not normally be prepared (Containment Fan Coil, SG Blowdown & Chemical Waste Basin) as well as planned batch releases for which a radioactivity discharge permit is prepared (Liquid Radwaste Disposal).

Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RA1.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-203 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

With the exception of the R18 monitors, the "ALERT" column liquid release values in Table R-1 represent two hundred (200) times the High Alarm setpoints associated with the specified monitors.

The High Alarm setpoints are obtained from channel calibrations procedures as listed in the reference section of this bases.Instrumentation that may be used to assess this EAL is listed below: " Containment Fan Coil Process 1(2)R1 3A/B (Upper Range is 1.00E+06 cpm)Service water is used as the cooling medium for the containment fan coil units (CFCUs)and could be contaminated if the cooling coil leaks with containment pressure above Service Water pressure.

Since the Service Water System discharges into Circ Water and then back to the river, the fan cooler units will be indirectly monitored for radioactivity.

This is done through the use of two monitors for the five fan coolers. The two monitors sample two of the three Circ Water headers that contain Service Water used to cool the CFCUs just before it discharges back to the river. Alarms on these monitors would be indicative of a CFCU leak but could also be associated with other systems including from the pathways monitored by the R1 8s, R1 9s and the R37, which also discharge into Circ Water and are monitored by the 1(2)R1 3A/B. If simultaneous Rad Alarms are received on an R1 3 monitor along with any R1 8s, R19s or R37 monitor, then the source of the Rad effluent may not be a CFCU leak and further investigation would be warranted.

However, exceeding the EAL threshold value for > 15 minutes should result in an Alert classification even if the exact source remains questionable.

• Liquid Radwaste Disposal Process 1(2)Ri 8 (Upper Range is 1.00E+06 cpm)Since the ranges of the 1(2) R1 8s monitors do not support EAL threshold values of 200 times the high alarm value, no Alert threshold is provided on Table R-1. If the release pathway could not be isolated as expected, the EC should refer to EAL RA1.3 for Alert threshold values based on sample analysis.This channel continuously monitors all Waste Disposal System liquid releases from the plant. Automatic valve closure action is initiated by this monitor when a high radiation level is indicated and alarmed in the Control Room. Liquid Radwaste discharges to Circ Water which then discharges to the Delaware River.* Steam Generator Blowdown Process 1(2)R19A-D (Upper Range is 1.00E+06 cpm)Each of these channels (four channels per unit) monitors the liquid phase of the steam generators for radioactivity, which would indicate a primary-to-secondary system leak.The four steam generator blowdown sample lines each have a radiation monitor. A high radiation alarm signal will close the No. 12 (22) steam generator blowdown tank inlet Salem Page 3 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RA1.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-203 valves and the steam generator blowdown isolation valves on the affected steam generator.

• Non-Rad Liquid Waste 2R37 (Upper Range is 1.OOE+06 cpm)The non-radwaste basin provides a potential release path due to the fact that steam generator blowdown is directed to the basin during plant startup. This monitor provides for continuous monitoring of the discharge from the non-radwaste basin. Non-Rad Liquid Waste discharges to Circ Water which then discharges to the Delaware River.Definitions:

Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, or control and monitor intentional releases.

The occurrence of extended, uncontrolled radioactive releases to the environment is indicative of a degradation in these features and/or controls.The multiple of two hundred times the ODCM limits is specified in EAL RU1.3 only to distinguish between non-emergency conditions.

While this multiple obviously corresponds to an off-site dose or dose rate, the emphasis in classifying this event is the degradation in the level of safety of the plant, not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate.This EAL addresses uncontrolled releases that are detected by sample analyses, particularly on unmonitored pathways, e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger leakage in river water systems, etc.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Confirmed sample analyses in excess of two hundred times the site Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Section 3/4.11.1 or 3/4.11.2 limits that continue for 15 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and hence, a potential degradation in the level of safety. This event escalates from the UNUSUAL EVENT by raising the magnitude of the release by a factor of 100 over the UNUSUAL EVENT level (i.e., 200 times ODCM).Table R-2 provides calculated radiological release noble gas and iodine sample concentrations that equate to a release that is 200 times the ODCM limit (Section 3/4.11.2) of 500 mRem/year as well as specifying liquid release effluent sample streams 200 times the ODCM limits (Section 3.11.1).Each Salem unit has a single gaseous release point (Plant Vent) for which a sample concentration threshold has been calculated.

The required release duration was reduced to 15 minutes in recognition of the raised severity.Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RA1.3 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-203 EAL Basis Reference(s):

All EAL: Dose assessment using actual meteorology indicates TEDE 4-day dose > 4.OE+03 mRem or Thyroid CDE dose > 2.OE+04 mRem at or beyond the MINIMUM EXCLUSION AREA (MEA)Basis: This EAL addresses radioactivity releases that result in doses at or beyond the MINIMUM EXCLUSION AREA (MEA) that exceed the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Public protective actions will be necessary.

Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public and likely involve fuel damage.While these failures are addressed by other EALs, this EAL provides appropriate diversity and addresses events which may not be able to be classified on the basis of plant status alone. It is important to note that for the more severe accidents the release may be unmonitored or there may be large uncertainties associated with the source term and/or meteorology.

The TEDE dose is set at the EPA PAG, while the 5000 mrem thyroid CDE was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE.Since dose assessment is based on actual meteorology, whereas the monitor reading EAL is not, the results from these assessments may indicate that the classification is not warranted.

For this reason, emergency implementing procedures call for the timely performance of dose assessments using actual meteorology and release information.

If the results of these dose assessments are available when the classification is made (e.g., initiated at a lower classification level), the dose assessment results override the monitor reading EAL.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RG 1.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-203 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

These radiation increases represent a loss of control over radioactive material and represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant.The refueling pathway is the combination of cavities and pools in which spent fuel may be located. While a radiation monitor could detect an increase in dose rate due to a drop in the water level, it might not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is covered.For example, an ARM reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as head lift, or even a fuel assembly being raised in the manipulator mast. Also, a monitor could in fact be Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev.0 (draft E)EAL#: RU2.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-204 properly responding to a known event involving transfer or relocation of a source, stored in or near the fuel pool or responding to a planned evolution such as removal of the reactor head.Generally, increased radiation monitor indications will need to combined with another indicator (or personnel report) of water loss.For refueling events where the water level drops below the Reactor Vessel flange, classification would be via EAL CU3.1. This event escalates to an ALERT per EAL RA2.1 if irradiated fuel outside the reactor vessel is uncovered.

For events involving irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel, escalation would be via the Fission Product Barrier Table for events in operating modes 1-4.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) low level alarm actuates at 128' 2" from 1(2)LC650.

During refueling operations the reactor vessel and refueling cavity are flooded. During fuel handling operations, the fuel transfer tube (canal) will connect the refueling cavity and the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP). An unexplained lowering of refueling cavity level or SFP level can be an indication that these volumes are draining.

A drop in refueling cavity and SFP level may result in a SFP low-level alarm. This alarm would be validated by visual observation of lowering level (local or remote) in the refueling cavity or SFP.When the spent fuel pool and refueling 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 SFP as well as for SFP drain down events.For a loss of shielding, the source of the radiation is within the refueling cavity or SFP. Without the shielding provided by normal water inventory in the SFP, equipment pool, and/or refueling cavity, radiation levels from irradiated fuel and activation products will rise substantially.

Area radiation monitors that may respond to a loss of spent fuel shielding are those located on the 130' elevation (Containment or Fuel Handling Building): " 1(2)R5 Fuel Handling Bldg* 1(2)R9 Fuel Storage Area* 1(2)R32A Fuel Handling Crane Fuel Handling Bldg (local monitor)* 1(2)R2 Containment General Area 130ft elevation* Temporary Area Radiation Monitors Definitions:

This EAL applies to emergency conditions affecting a spent fuel cask caused by an accident or natural phenomena.

This EAL would be applicable at all times in all modes for a loaded spent fuel storage cask from the time the lid is installed, as the cask leaves the Salem Fuel Handling Building and during transport to the INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI). This EAL provides for an Unusual Event classification, which may be entered if conditions occur that have the potential for damaging or degrading the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY of a spent fuel cask. Damage to the storage cask could result in an increase in direct radiation readings from the cask. This Salem EAL is only applicable for a Salem spent fuel cask that is in transit to the ISFSI.After the spent fuel cask is in place at the ISFSI, any further conditions that could adversely impact the ISFSI or an individual cask from either Salem or Hope Creek would be assessed and classified as needed by the Hope Creek Shift Manager (SM) per Hope Creek EAL EU1.1.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: EU 1.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -206 As provided in the Holtec HI-STORM 100 System Certificate of Compliance (CoC), Appendix A (Technical Specifications), Section 5.7.4 contains radiation values for the cask that should not be exceeded.

Under Amendment

1. 5, the highest allowable radiation level on contact with the HI-STORM 100 cask body is 300 mR/hr on the side of the cask and 30 mR/hr on the top of the cask. Keeping in line with NEI guidance that a UE is warranted for radiation conditions at a level of twice the Technical Specification value, 600 mR/hr and 60 mR/hr are being used as the EAL threshold radiation levels.Continued use of this lower value is conservative for casks loaded under later CoC amendments where the radiation limit values may increase.

The threshold values are sufficiently above nominal radiation levels of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY that radiation levels above this EAL threshold would indicate significant damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY.No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected -because the seal-welded spent fuel canister (part of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY) is designed to remain intact under all normal, off-normal, and credible accident conditions of onsite transport and storage at the ISFSl, according to Holtec licensing documents.

Prior to the installation of the spent fuel cask lid on the HI-STORM 100 cask, emergency classifications would be based on other Category R EALs.Definitions:

The National Earthquake Information Center can confirm if an earthquake has occurred in the area of the plant.Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HUI .1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-207 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

SGS seismic instrumentation consists of a Kinemetrics SMA-3 Strong Motion Accelerograph and associated sensors that are equipped with seismic triggers set to alarm (Unit 1 OHA A-37 SEIS RCDR SYS ACT) and initiate recording at an acceleration equal to or exceeding 0.01 g.When the seismic trigger activates the SMA-3 Event Indicator (flag) will change from black to white and the amber event alarm will illuminate.

The amber event alarm will extinguish when ground acceleration reduces below the 0.01 g setpoint but the Event Indicator (flag) will remain white until manually reset. Three time-history triaxial acceleration sensors are provided (2 in Reactor Building, 1 in Auxiliary Building).

These sensors transmit electrical signals to be recorded on magnetic tape.The NEIC can confirm seismic activity in the vicinity of the SGS/HCGS site. Refer to Note 4 to contact the NEIC.Alternatively go to the USGS NEIC website: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenterl On the US map, click on 'New Jersey' and then click on earthquake indicator for information.

This EAL addresses main turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause observable damage to the turbine casing or to the seals of the turbine generator.

Generator seal damage observed after generator purge does not meet the intent of this EAL because it did not impact normal operation of the plant.Of major concern is the potential for leakage of combustible fluids (lubricating oils) and gases (hydrogen cooling) to the plant environs.

Actual fires and flammable gas build up are appropriately classified via EAL HU2.1 and EAL HU3.1.This EAL is consistent with the definition of an UNUSUAL EVENT while maintaining the anticipatory nature desired and recognizing the risk to non-safety related equipment.

Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be to EAL HA1.3 based on damage done by projectiles generated by the failure or by any radiological releases in Category R.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Main Turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause damage to the turbine casing or turbine/generator seals increases the potential for leakage of combustible/explosive gases and of combustible liquids to the Turbine Building or damage to Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU1.3 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 plant systems due to PROJECTILES.

The presence of H 2 gas in sufficient quantities may present a combustion hazard. Actual fires and flammable gas build up is classified under fire and flammable gas EALs.Generator seal damage observed after generator purge does not meet the intent of this EAL since it did not impact normal plant operations.

Turbine rotating component failures may also result in other direct damage to plant systems and components.

Damage may rupture the turbine lubricating oil system, which would release flammable liquids to the Turbine Building.

Potential rupture of the condenser and condenser tubes may cause flooding in the lower levels of the Turbine Building.

This damage should be readily observable.

Escape of H 2 gas from the generator due to a loss of seal oil pumps or turbine lube oil without a turbine rotating component failure should not be classified under this event but should be reviewed lAW EALs in Subcategory H.3, Hazardous Gas.Definitions:

Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU1.4 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Flooding as used in this EAL describes a condition where water is entering the room faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room. Classification of this EAL should not be delayed while corrective actions are being taken to isolate the water source.The Table H-1 Plant Structures Containing Safe Shutdown Systems or Components include those plant structures identified as Seismic Category I.Flooding can occur from several sources including the Circulating Water System, Service Water System, Demineralized Water, Component Cooling Water, Fire Protection and Refueling Water Storage Tank.Flooding is determined in these areas by visual report from staff or by confirmation of sump alarms. S1(S2).OP-AB.ZZ-0002 (Q) directs the operators to determine the exact location and severity of flooding.

Attachments in this procedure delineate the affected plant areas, potential source(s) of water, affected vital equipment, flood rate and time to submerge vital equipment.

If mitigating actions to control flooding have been unsuccessful and the flooding level has reached 50% of the equipment disabled level(s) as specified in SI(S2).OP-AB.ZZ-0002, FLOODING, then the flooding is severe, is in excess of sump handling capability and has the potential to affect safety equipment and therefore, classification under this EAL is warranted.

The source of the flooding and the status of the sump pumps are not factors in evaluating this EAL. For areas that do not have a flooding level specified in S1(S2).OP-AB.ZZ-0002, SM judgment should be used.Definitions:

Assessment of degraded safe shutdown system performance includes examination of systems in standby status as well as those in operation.

When a safe shutdown system is in operation, its performance can be directly observed and compared to its design capability (e.g., rated flow is required but cannot be achieved).

When an operating safe shutdown system cannot fulfill its design function, its performance is degraded.

When a safe shutdown system is in standby, its performance capability may not be readily determined.

One or more of the following can provide indirect indication of its performance capability:

• Electrical faults on power supplies* Normally closed breakers in tripped position* System annunciators activated" System warning lights lit* Insufficient system pressure from keep-fill pumps* Elevated area temperatures or radiation levels" Increased sump pump operation in areas in which the system is located EAL Bases Reference(s):

The first condition of this EAL indicates river level conditions that can threaten the level of safety of the plant due to flooding.

River level greater than 99.5' (+10.5' Mean Sea Level, MSL) is indication of impending site flood conditions.

Flood protection measures are required by Salem Technical Specifications and procedure at 99.5'(+1 0.5'MSL).

At this river level precautionary actions are taken, including filling outside tanks and ensuring that perimeter flood doors are closed. These actions ensure that the facility flood protection features are in place prior to a river level that would necessitate their use. Hope Creek performs these actions at 95.0' (+6.0'MSL).

The High river level threshold is below the river level that would require a plant shutdown.Technical Specification actions required by a River Level of >100.5' includes placing the plant in at least Hot Standby within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Cold Shutdown within the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.This is based on the river level at which facility flood protection features provide protection to safety related equipment.

Hope Creek performs similar actions are at 99.5' (+1 0.5'MSL).The grade level at the Salem station is lower than that for Hope Creek (Salem = 99.5', Hope Creek = 101.5'). 1 The second condition of this EAL indicates river level conditions, River level < 80.0,'(-9.0'MSL), approaching the loss of the Service Water Intake (Ultimate Heat Sink). The low Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HUI.5 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 level threshold indicates a river level condition that is one foot lower than the historical low water level of 81.0' (-8.0'MSL) (December 31, 1962) and is higher than the Service Water pumps design level.These events will be escalated based on damage to plant safety systems, loss of fission product barriers or abnormal radiological releases as discussed in other EAL categories.

Definitions:

VITAL AREA: Typically any site specific areas, normally within the PROTECTED AREA, that contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

DEGRADED PERFORMANCE:

Assessment of degraded safe shutdown system performance includes examination of systems in standby status as well as those in operation.

When a safe shutdown system is in operation, its performance can be directly observed and compared to its design capability (e.g., rated flow is required but cannot be achieved).

When an operating safe shutdown system cannot fulfill its design function, its performance is degraded.

When a safe shutdown system is in standby, its performance capability may not be readily determined.

One or more of the following can provide indirect indication of its performance capability: " Electrical faults on power supplies* Normally closed breakers in tripped position* System annunciators activated" System warning lights lit" Insufficient system pressure from keep-fill pumps* Elevated area temperatures or radiation levels" Increased sump pump operation in areas in which the system is located Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HA1.3 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 PROTECTED AREA (PA): A security controlled area within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (OCA) that is enclosed by the security perimeter fence and monitored by intrusion detection systems.

For the purpose of emergency classification, area from the PSEG Nuclear access road checkpoint and inward towards the stations is considered the OCA.VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis.

Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of the affected structure, system, or component.

Example damage includes:

deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, and paint blistering.

Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.PROJECTILE:

The lack of access or occurrence of degraded system response is intended to discriminate against lesser events. The initial report should not be interpreted as mandating a lengthy assessment prior to classification.

No attempt is made in this EAL to assess the actual magnitude of any damage. The significance here is not that a particular system or structure was damaged, but rather, that the event was of sufficient magnitude to cause this lack of access or performance degradation.

Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on System Malfunction EALs.This EAL addresses the effect of internal flooding caused by events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, or outage activity mishaps. It is based on the DEGRADED PERFORMANCE of systems, or has created industrial safety hazards (e.g., electrical shock)that preclude necessary access to operate or monitor safety equipment.

The inability to access, operate or monitor safety equipment represents an actual or substantial potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.Flooding as used in this EAL describes a condition where water is entering the room faster than installed equipment is capable of removal, resulting in a rise of water level within the room. Classification of this EAL should not be delayed while corrective actions are being taken to isolate the water source.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Flooding is an event or condition in excess of the available sump pump handling capability (installed or temporary) that results in a condition where water is entering a room faster than it is being removed resulting in a rise in water level within the room. Classification should not be delayed while taking corrective actions to isolate the source of the flooding.

This EAL addresses the effects of flooding caused by events such as component failures, equipment misalignment, or outage activity mishaps where flooding is occurring in areas that affect safety related equipment.

This EAL is based on the degraded performance of systems, or has created industrial safety hazards (electrical shock) that preclude necessary access to operate or monitor safety equipment.

The inability to access, operate or monitor safety equipment represents an actual or substantial potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant meeting the definition of an ALERT.In those cases where it is believed that DEGRADED PERFORMANCE due to flooding may have caused damage to a Safety System, an ALERT declaration is warranted since the full extent of the damage need not be known. A Safety System is defined as any system required to maintain safe operation or to establish or maintain Cold Shutdown.If the flooding has reached the level(s) specified in OP-AB.ZZ-0002, FLOODING, then the flooding is severe, is in excess of sump handling capability and has degraded the performance of safety related equipment.

Consequently, if the flooding has reached the levels specified in Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HA1.4 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 OP-AB.ZZ-0002, Flooding, then classification under this EAL is warranted.

The source of the flooding and the status of the sump pumps are not factors in evaluating this EAL. For areas that do not have a Flooding level specified in OP-AB.ZZ-0002, SM judgment should be used.Flooding is determined in these areas by visual report from staff or by confirmation of sump alarms. S1 (S2).OP-AB.ZZ-0002 (Q) directs the operators to determine the exact location and severity of Flooding.

Attachments in this procedure delineate the affected plant areas, potential source(s) of water, affected vital equipment, flood rate and time to submerge vital equipment.

No attempt is made in this EAL to assess Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HA1.6 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 the actual magnitude of the damage. The significance here is not that a particular system or structure incurred damage, but rather that the event was of sufficient magnitude to cause either VISIBLE DAMAGE to the safety systems in Table H-1 structures or Control Room indications of degraded system performance.

Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on EALs in Category S, System Malfunctions.

This EAL addresses vehicle crashes or PROJECTILE impacts within the PROTECTED AREA that results in VISIBLE DAMAGE to VITAL AREAS or indication of damage to safety structures, systems, or components containing functions and systems required for safe shutdown of the plant.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The primary concern in this EAL is the magnitude of the vehicle crashes/ PROJECTILE impacts. A detailed assessment of system damage is not required prior to classification.

Vehicle Crash includes AIRCRAFT, Helicopters, Ships, Barges, Trucks, Autos, or any other vehicle types of sufficient momentum to potentially damage the structure.

Minor contacts (not crashes) by onsite vehicles such as trucks, autos, forklifts, etc., are excluded from classification under this EAL. PROJECTILE impact includes flying objects from either offsite or onsite, rotating equipment or turbine failure causing turbine-casing penetration.

A Safety System is any system required to maintain safe operation or to establish or maintain cold shutdown.

In those cases where it is believed that the vehicle crash/ PROJECTILE impact may have caused VISIBLE DAMAGE to a Safety System, an ALERT declaration is warranted since the full extent of the damage may not be known. The turbine building is not a safety structure and would not be considered for this EAL.No lengthy or time-consuming assessment of damage is required prior to classification.

In this EAL, no attempt is made to quantify the magnitude of the damage to any safety system but instead an attempt is made to identify any damage in order to quantify the magnitude and extent of the vehicle crashes/PROJECTILE impact.In short, if the vehicle crash/ PROJECTILE impact is big enough that it has damaged a Safety System/Safety Structure or cause Safety System DEGRADED PERFORMANCE, then the vehicle crash/ PROJECTILE impact is big enough to justify an ALERT declaration.

Any security aspects or suspected HOSTILE ACTIONS that involve vehicles or PROJECTILE impact should be considered under EALs in Subcategory H.4.This event will be escalated based on further damage to plant safety systems, fission product barriers, or abnormal radiation releases.

The Emergency Coordinator may use discretion and escalate the classification to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY based on the nature of the damage.Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HA1.6 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-207 Definitions:

Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of the affected structure, system, or component.

Example damage includes:

deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, and paint blistering.

Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.AIRCRAFT:

Includes both small and large AIRCRAFT.

Examples of AIRCRAFT include general aviation Cessna, Piper and Lear type private planes, large passenger or freight planes as well as police, medical and media helicopters.

HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward Salem or Hope Creek or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take HOSTAGES, and/or intimidate PSEG 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 Salem or Hope Creek. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OCA).HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station.EAL Bases Reference(s):

A credible notification/report to the Control room would be a communications from a member of the plant staff (in-house or contractor) that identifies the observation of a FIRE in a specific location.NOTE: In this case, the 15 minute clock to assess the EAL and to extinguish the FIRE runs concurrently and starts upon Control Room receipt of the FIRE notification/report.

b. Verification that a FIRE detection system alarm/actuation is due to a FIRE (not a spurious/false alarm) includes either one of the following:

1. Control Room (or other nearby site-specific location) receipt of related independent alarm(s) (FIRE, temperature, deluge, FIRE pump start, etc.)NOTE: In this case, the 15 minute clock to assess the EAL and to extinguish the FIRE runs concurrently and starts upon receipt of the independent alarm(s) related to the FIRE.2.

This excludes FIRES within administration buildings, waste-basket FIRES, and other small FIRES of no safety consequence.

Immediately adjacent implies that the area immediately adjacent contains or may contain equipment or cabling that could impact equipment located in VITAL AREAS or the FIRE could damage equipment inside VITAL AREAS or that precludes access to VITAL AREAS.Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU2.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-208 Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on EAL HA2.1.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The fact that SCBA or other respiratory protection may be worn does not eliminate the need to declare the event.This EAL is not intended to require significant assessment or quantification.

It assumes an uncontrolled process that has the potential to affect NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS.

This would preclude small or incidental releases, or releases that do not impact structures needed for plant operation.

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 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness or even death.Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on EAL HA3.1.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The release may have originated within the Site Boundary, or it may have originated offsite and subsequently drifted onto the Site Boundary.

Offsite events (e.g., tanker truck accident releasing toxic gases, etc.) resulting in the plant being within the evacuation area should also be considered in this EAL because of the adverse affect on NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS.

Most commonly, asphyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment.

This reduces the concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness or even death.Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be based on EAL HA3.1.Explanation/Discussion/Defi nitions: This EAL is based on the existence of an uncontrolled release originating offsite and local, county or state officials have reported the need for evacuation or sheltering of site personnel.

State and local officials may determine the evacuation area for an offsite spill or release by using "The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG2008)" developed by the US Department of Transportation.

Should the release affect plant VITAL AREAS, escalation to an ALERT would be based on EAL HA3.1. Should an EXPLOSION or FIRE occur due to flammable gas within an affected plant area, an ALERT may be appropriate based on EAL HA2.1.A Toxic Gas is considered to be any substance that is dangerous to life or limb by reason of inhalation or skin contact.Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU3.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-209 A Flammable Gas is considered to be any substance that can result in an ignition, sustained burn or detonation.

This could be based upon documented analysis, indication of personal ill effects from exposure, or operating experience with the hazards.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 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness or even death.An uncontrolled release of flammable gasses within a facility structure has the potential to affect safe operation of the plant by limiting either operator or equipment operations due to the potential for ignition and resulting equipment damage/personnel injury. Flammable gasses, such as hydrogen and acetylene, are routinely used to maintain plant systems (hydrogen) or to repair equipment/components (acetylene

-used in welding).

This EAL assumes concentrations of flammable gasses which can ignite/support combustion.

Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, will be based on EALs in Category S, System Malfunctions, Category F, Fission Product Barrier Degradation, or Category R, Abnormal Rad Levels / Rad Effluent.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This EAL is based on gases that have entered a plant structure in concentrations that could be unsafe for plant personnel and, therefore, preclude access to equipment necessary for the safe operation or safe shutdown of the plant. The Table H-1 Plant Structures Containing Safe Shutdown Systems or Components include those plant structures identified as Seismic Category I.A Toxic Gas is considered to be any substance that is dangerous to life or limb by reason of inhalation or skin contact.A Flammable Gas is considered to be any substance that can result in an ignition, sustained burn or detonation.

H -Hazards & Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety 4 -Security Confirmed SECURITY CONDITION or threat which indicates a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant All EAL# & Classification Level: HU4.1 -UNUSUAL EVENT (Common Site)EAL: A SECURITY CONDITION that does NOT involve a HOSTILE ACTION as reported by the Security Operations Supervisor or designee (Note 8)OR Receipt of a CREDIBLE/ACTUAL THREAT to Salem or Hope Creek station -(determined by security in accordance with SY-AA-1 01-132, "Threat Assessment") (Note 8)OR A VALIDATED notification from NRC providing information of a Salem/Hope Creek AIRCRAFT threat (Note 8)NOTE 8: Shift Manager (SM) should implement the Prompt Actions of NC.EP-EP.ZZ-0102, EC Response, Attachment 10, prior to classification of a security emergency.

Key Information to obtain from Security Supervision upon SM notification of a security event: " Determination if the security event is a HOSTILE ACTION or SECURITY CONDITION" If a HOSTILE ACTION, is location the OCA or PA?Basis: Security events which do not represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant are reported under 10 CFR 73.71 or in some cases under 10 CFR 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under EAL HA4.1, EAL HS4.1 and EAL HG4.1.Salem Page 1 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-210 A higher initial classification could be made based upon the nature and timing of the security threat and potential consequences.

The Emergency Coordinator shall consider upgrading the emergency response status and emergency classification level in accordance with the Salem-Hope Creek Security Contingency Plan.1 st Condition (SECURITY CONDITION)

Reference is made to the specific security shift supervision (Security Operations Supervisor or designee) because these individuals are the designated personnel on-site qualified and trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred.

Training on security event classification confirmation is closely controlled due to the strict secrecy controls placed on the Salem -Hope Creek Security Contingency Plan.This threshold is based on the Salem -Hope Creek Security Contingency Plan. The Salem -Hope Creek Security Contingency Plan is based on guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Security Contingency Plan and ISFSI Program.2 nd Condition (CREDIBLE

/ ACTUAL THREAT)This threshold is included to ensure that appropriate notifications for the security threat are made in a timely manner. This includes information of a credible threat. Only the site to which the specific threat is made needs declare the Notification of an UNUSUAL EVENT.The determination of CREDIBLE is made through use of information found in Threat Assessment, SY-AA-101-132.

3 rd Condition (AIRCRAFT Threat)The intent of this part of the EAL is to ensure that notifications for the AIRCRAFT threat are made in a timely manner and that offsite response organization (OROs) and plant personnel are at a state of heightened awareness regarding the credible threat. It is not the intent of this EAL to replace existing non-hostile related EALs involving AIRCRAFT.This EAL is met when a plant (site) receives information regarding an AIRCRAFT threat from NRC. Validation is performed by calling the NRC or by other approved methods of authentication.

Only the site to which the specific threat is made need declare the UNUSUAL EVENT.Salem Page 2 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -210 The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an AIRLINER (AIRLINER is meant to be a large AIRCRAFT with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant). The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.Escalation to ALERT emergency classification level would be via EAL HA4.1 and would be appropriate if the threat involves an AIRLINER within 30 minutes of the plant or a HOSTILE ACTION in the OCA or PA.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

If the security events do not meet the threshold for an UNUSUAL EVENT classification, they may result in the need to make a non-emergency report per RAL Section 11.7.1 .a, One Hour Non-Emergency Safeguards Event (10 CFR 73.71) as determined by Security per SY-AA-1002, "Safeguards Event Report." Security will be focused on actions to mitigate the security event and will provide the SM with key information as the event progresses.

Communications between the SMs and the Security Team Leader should be accurate, concise, and focused on EAL criteria and protection of key target sets. As Security and Operations terminology sometimes differ, clarifying questions should be asked to ensure accurate information exchange.1 st Condition (SECURITY CONDITION)

Page 6 of this EAL Basis is a "Security Contingency Event Summary Table" that indicates which Security Contingency Events could result in Security Supervision determining that a SECURITY CONDITION exists and therefore an UNUSUAL EVENT classification should be made OR, could result in Security Supervision determining that a HOSTILE ACTION is or has occurred and therefore classification at the ALERT or higher level should be made based on the location (OCA or PA) of the HOSTILE ACTION.2 nd Condition (CREDIBLE I ACTUAL THREAT)This threshold is included to ensure that threat information from any source which is assessed by security supervision as being a "CREDIBLE/ACTUAL THREAT" is classified as an UNUSUAL EVENT. Only the site to which the specific threat is made needs to declare the UNUSUAL EVENT. For Security Events, Salem and Hope Creek is considered a single site, therefore a "CREDIBLE/ACTUAL THREAT" to either Salem or Hope Creek would affect the entire site and a "Common Site" UE declaration would be made.Timely classification will ensure that Offsite Response Organizations and plant personnel are notified in a timely manner resulting in a state of heightened awareness.

Threats are evaluated by security per Threat Assessment, SY-AA-1 01-132. Security threats that do not meet the definition of a "CREDIBLE/ACTUAL THREAT" should be dispositioned lAW Threat Assessment, SY-AA-101-132.

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 Salem or Hope Creek. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OCA).Salem Page 4 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HU4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -210 OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (OCA): Property owned, maintained and controlled by PSEG Nuclear as part of the Salem & Hope Creek Generating Station complex.

Key Information to obtain from Security Supervision upon SM notification of a security event:* Determination if the security event is a HOSTILE ACTION or SECURITY CONDITION" If a HOSTILE ACTION, is location the OCA or PA?Basis: This EAL addresses the contingency for a very rapid progression of events, such as that experienced on September 11, 2001. They are not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land or water attack elements.The fact that the site is under serious attack or is an identified attack target with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires a heightened state of readiness and implementation of protective measures that can be effective (such as on-site evacuation, dispersal or sheltering).

I Salem Page 1 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HA4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-210 1 st Condition (OCA HOSTILE ACTION)This EAL addresses the potential for a very rapid progression of events due to a HOSTILE ACTION within or directed towards the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (OCA). It is not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small AIRCRAFT impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the OCA.Those events are adequately addressed by other EALs or RALs Note that this EAL is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA.If not previously notified by the NRC that the airborne HOSTILE ACTION was intentional, then it would be expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency would follow. In this case, appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA or NRC. However, the declaration should not be unduly delayed awaiting Federal notification.

2 nd Condition (AIRLINER Threat)This EAL addresses the immediacy of an expected threat (AIRLINER) arrival or impact on the site within a relatively short time (< 30 minutes).The intent of this EAL is to ensure that notifications for the AIRLINER attack threat are made in a timely manner and that OROs and plant personnel are at a state of heightened awareness regarding the credible threat.

This event will be escalated to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY based upon HOSTILE ACTION affecting the PROTECTED AREA (PA). Also, if Hope Creek declares an SAE due to their PA being affected by the security event, Salem will escalate to SAE to match them.1 st Condition (OCA HOSTILE ACTION)Reference is made to the specific security shift supervision (Security Operations Supervisor or designee) because these individuals are the designated personnel on-site qualified and trained to confirm that a HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred.This EAL condition is not premised solely on adverse health effects caused by a radiological release. Rather the issue is the immediate need for assistance due to the nature of the event and the potential for significant and indeterminate damage. Although nuclear plant security officers are well trained and prepared to protect against HOSTILE ACTION, it is appropriate for Offsite Response Organizations (OROs) to be notified and encouraged to begin activation to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions.Page 6 of this EAL Basis is a "Security Contingency Event Summary Table" that indicates which Security Contingency Events could result in Security Supervision determining that a HOSTILE ACTION is or has occurred and therefore classification at the ALERT or higher level should be made based on the location (OCA or PA) of the HOSTILE ACTION. Security events that do not involve a HOSTILE ACTION may result in Security Supervision determining that a SECURITY CONDITION exists and therefore an UNUSUAL EVENT classification should be made per EAL HU4.1.2 nd Condition (AIRLINER Threat)The fact that the site is an identified attack candidate with minimal time available for further preparation requires a heightened state of readiness and implementation of protective measures that can be effective (onsite evacuation, dispersal, or sheltering) before arrival or impact.This EAL is met when a plant receives VALIDATED information regarding an AIRLINER attack threat from NRC and the AIRLINER is less than 30 minutes away from the site. Only the site (Salem and Hope Creek is considered a single site for Security event classifications) to which the specific threat is made needs declare the ALERT.AIRLINER threat calls from the NRC should be VALIDATED by use of NRC authentication code or a return call to the NRC Headquarter Operations Center.Salem Page 3 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HA4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-210 Definitions:

EAL# & Classification Level: EAL: H -Hazards & Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety 4 -Security HOSTILE ACTION within the PROTECTED AREA All HS4.1 -SITE AREA EMERGENCY A HOSTILE ACTION is occurring or has occurred within the PROTECTED AREA as reported by the Security Operations Supervisor or designee (Note 8)NOTE 8: Shift Manager (SM) should implement the Prompt Actions of NC.EP-EP.ZZ-0102, EC Response, Attachment 10, prior to classification of a security emergency.

Key Information to obtain from Security Supervision upon SM notification of a security event: " Determination if the security event is a HOSTILE ACTION or SECURITY CONDITION" If a HOSTILE ACTION, is location the OCA or PA?Basis: This condition represents an escalated threat to plant safety above that contained in the ALERT in that a HOSTILE FORCE has progressed from the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA to the PROTECTED AREA.This EAL addresses the contingency for a very rapid progression of events due to a HOSTILE ACTION within or directed towards the PROTECTED AREA (PA). Plant VITAL AREAS are within the PROTECTED AREA and are generally controlled by card key readers. A HOSTILE ACTION in the PROTECTED AREA (which includes VITAL AREAS) could represent a situation that threatens the safety of plant personnel and the general public.Salem Page 1 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HS4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-210 These EALs address the contingency for a very rapid progression of events, such as that experienced on September 11, 2001. It is not premised solely on the potential for a radiological release. Rather the issue includes the need for rapid assistance due to the possibility for significant and indeterminate damage from additional air, land or water attack elements.The fact that the site is under serious attack with minimal time available for further preparation or additional assistance to arrive requires Offsite Response Organization (ORO) readiness and preparation for the implementation of protective measures.This EAL is not intended to address incidents that are accidental events or acts of civil disobedience, such as small AIRCRAFT impact, hunters, or physical disputes between employees within the PROTECTED AREA. Those events are adequately addressed by other EALs or RALs.Although nuclear plant security officers are well trained and prepared to protect against HOSTILE ACTION, it is appropriate for OROs to be notified and encouraged to begin preparations for public protective actions to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions.If not previously notified by NRC that the airborne HOSTILE ACTION was intentional, then it would be expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency would follow. In this case, appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBI, FAA or NRC. However, the declaration should not be unduly delayed awaiting Federal notification.

Escalation of this emergency classification level to a GENERAL EMERGENCY, if appropriate, would be based upon the actual loss of physical control of the facility.

If necessary, Salem will declare this event.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The Security Shift Supervision is defined as the Security Operations Supervisor or designee.These individuals are the designated on-site personnel qualified and trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred.

Training on security event classification confirmation is closely controlled due to the strict secrecy controls placed on the Salem -Hope Creek Security Contingency Plan (Safeguards) information.

PROJECTILES that are directed into or that have impacted the PA from the OCA or beyond are considered under this EAL as HOSTILE ACTIONS within the PA.Salem Page 2 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HS4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-210 Page 5 of this EAL Basis is a "Security Contingency Event Summary Table" that indicates which Security Contingency Events could result in Security Supervision determining that a HOSTILE ACTION is or has occurred and therefore classification at the ALERT or higher level should be made based on the location (OCA or PA) of the HOSTILE ACTION. Security events that do not involve a HOSTILE ACTION may result in Security Supervision determining that a SECURITY CONDITION exists and therefore an UNUSUAL EVENT classification should be made per EAL HU4.1.Definitions:

HOSTILE ACTION: An act toward Salem or Hope Creek 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 Salem or Hope Creek. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OCA).OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (OCA): Property owned, maintained and controlled by PSEG Nuclear as part of the Salem & Hope Creek Generating Station complex. For the purpose of emergency classification, area from the PSEG Nuclear access road checkpoint and inward towards the stations is considered the OCA.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 causing destruction.

HOSTAGE: A person(s) held as leverage against the station to ensure that demands will be met by the station.PROTECTED AREA (PA): A security controlled area within the OWNER-CONTROLLED AREA (OCA) that is enclosed by the security perimeter fence and monitored by intrusion detection systems. Access to the PA requires proper security clearance and is controlled at the Security Center.SECURITY CONDITION:

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.AIRCRAFT:

Includes both small and large AIRCRAFT.

Examples of AIRCRAFT include general aviation Cessna, Piper and Lear type private planes, large passenger or freight planes as well as police, medical and media helicopters.

A large AIRCRAFT is referred to as an AIRLINER.Salem Page 3 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HS4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-210 AIRLINER/LARGE AIRCRAFT:

Any size or type of AIRCRAFT with the potential for causing significant damage to the plant (refer to the Security Contingency Plan for a more detailed definition).

PROJECTILE:

An object that impacts Salem and/or Hope Creek that could cause concern for continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.VITAL AREAS: Typically any site specific areas, normally within the PROTECTED AREA, that contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

Inability to establish plant control from outside the Control Room will escalate this event to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY per EAL HS5.1.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Control Room evacuation represents a serious plant situation since the degree of plant control at the Remote Shutdown Panel (RSP) is not as complete as from the Control Room. The intent of this EAL is to declare an ALERT when the determination to evacuate the Control Room has been made based on environmental/personnel safety concerns, and the physical process of evacuating the Control Room per SI(S2).OP-AB.CR-0001 (Q), Control Room Evacuation, or S1 (S2).OP-AB.CR-0002(Q)

Control Room Evacuation Due to Fire in the Control Room, Relay Room, 460/230V Switchgear Room or 4kV Switchgear Room, has commenced.

The Shift Manager (SM) determines if the Control Room 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.

In this case, expeditious transfer of control of safety systems has not occurred (although fission product barrier damage may not yet be indicated).

The intent of the EAL is to establish control of important plant equipment and knowledge of important plant parameters in a timely manner. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions.

These safety functions are reactivity control (ability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it shutdown), RCS inventory control (ability to cool the core), and secondary heat removal (ability to maintain a heat sink).The determination of whether or not control is established at the remote shutdown panel is based on Emergency Coordinator judgment.

The Emergency Coordinator is expected to make a reasonable, informed judgment within the allocated 15 minutes that the licensee has control of the plant from the remote shutdown panel.Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be by EALs in Category F, Fission Product Barrier Degradation, or Category R, Abnormal Rad Levels/Rad Effluent.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: HS5.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-11 11-211 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Prolonged loss of all AC power to vital buses will lead to loss of Fuel Clad, RCS, and Containment, thus this event can escalate to a GENERAL EMERGENCY.

This EAL is specified to assure that in the unlikely event of a prolonged station blackout, timely recognition of the seriousness of the event occurs and that declaration of a GENERAL EMERGENCY occurs as early as is appropriate, based on a reasonable assessment of the event trajectory.

The likelihood of restoring at least one vital bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in an upgrade decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions.In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded.I Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: SG 1.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-213 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The AC power distribution is summarized in Attachment 2, page 2.Four hours is the station blackout coping time.The status and availability of DC power may limit or prevent restoration activities.

When prolonged powering of inverters and DC loads has occurred without AC power available for the battery chargers, DC voltage will degrade. This degradation of DC power may limit monitoring and assessment capabilities as instrumentation and control power may not be available.

Since monitoring of overall plant conditions will be difficult with no AC power, CFST indications for determining barrier loss are used.The likelihood of restoring at least one Vital Bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in an upgrade decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions.In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded.

Although it may be difficult to predict when power can be restored, it is necessary to give the Emergency Coordinator reasonable idea of how quickly he may need to declare a General Emergency based on two major considerations:

1. Are there any present indications that core cooling is already degraded to the point that loss or potential loss of fission product barriers is imminent?2. If there are no present indications of such core cooling degradation, how likely is it that power can be restored in time to assure that a loss of two barriers with a potential loss of the third barrier can be prevented?

It is estimated that several hours are required to fully evacuate the 10-mile EPZ. Taking into consideration the above factors, declaring a General Emergency leaves sufficient time for the offsite authorities to implement Protective Actions well before a radioactive release would occur while providing sufficient time for on-site and off-site mitigation activities to restore AC power.CFST status will not be used for event classification until the Control Room Staff has implemented the CFSTs.

The term "sustained" is used in order to allow exclusion of expected short term positive startup rates from planned fuel bundle or control rod movements during core alteration.

These short term positive startup rates are the result of the increase in neutron population due to subcritical multiplication.

This EAL equates to the criteria used to determine a valid CFST Shutdown Margin Red Path.Manual trip actions taken at the reactor control console are any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) which causes or should cause control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core and shuts down the reactor.The reactor trip switches on the Control Room console are an automatic input into the Reactor Protection System. A failure to trip after actuating both reactor trip switches without any other automatic input would make this threshold applicable.

This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to trip the reactor. This condition is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient.

Thus the plant safety has been compromised because design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded.

An ALERT is indicated because conditions may exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS and because of the failure of the Reactor Protection System to automatically shutdown the plant.If manual actions taken at the reactor control console fail to shut down the reactor, the event would escalate to a SITE AREA EMERGENCY.

Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E3)EAL#: SA3.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-215 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This EAL identifies the need to cease critical reactor operations by actuation of the automatic Reactor Protection System (RPS) trip function.

A reactor trip is automatically initiated by the Reactor Protection System (RPS) when certain continuously monitored parameters exceed predetermined setpoints.

Following a successful 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 several decades less with a negative period. 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 RPS to bring reactor power to below 5%, the value used to determine a valid Shutdown Margin Status Tree Red Path. CSFST Shutdown Margin red path is illustrated in Attachment 2, page 5.For the purposes of emergency classification at the Alert level, successful manual trip actions are those which can be quickly performed from the reactor control console (i.e., reactor trip switches, trip bkr bezels, supply breakers 1/2E6D and 1/2G6D). EOP-FRSM-1 requires an Equipment Operator to locally open the Reactor Trip Breakers and trip the Rod Drive MG Sets. These actions are performed outside the Main Control Room and are NOT to be credited as a successful manual trip.Following any automatic RPS trip signal EOPs prescribe insertion of redundant manual trip signals to back up the automatic RPS trip function and ensure reactor shutdown is achieved.Even if the first subsequent manual trip signal fully inserts all control rods immediately after the initial failure of the automatic trip, the lowest level of classification that must be declared is an Alert.In the event that the operator identifies a reactor trip is imminent and initiates a successful manual reactor trip before the automatic 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 product barrier loss.If manual reactor trip actions fail to reduce reactor power below 5%, the event escalates to the Site Area Emergency under EAL SS3.1.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 be 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 be shut down, consideration should be given to evaluating the fuel for Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E3)EAL#: SA3.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-215 potential damage, and the reporting requirements of 10CFR50.72 should be considered for the transient event.EAL Bases Reference(s):

This EAL equates to the criteria used to determine a valid CFST Shutdown Margin Red Path.Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed and efforts to bring the reactor subcritical are unsuccessful.

A SITE AREA EMERGENCY is warranted because conditions exist that lead to IMMINENT loss or potential loss of both fuel clad and RCS.Manual trip actions taken at the reactor control console are any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) at which causes or should cause control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core and shuts down the reactor.Escalation of this event to a GENERAL EMERGENCY would be due to a prolonged condition leading to an extreme challenge to either core cooling or heat removal.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This EAL addresses any automatic reactor trip signal followed by a manual trip that fails to shut down the reactor to an extent the reactor is producing energy in excess of the heat load for which the safety systems were designed.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: SS3.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-215 For the purposes of emergency classification at the Site Area Emergency level, successful manual trip actions are those which can be quickly performed from the reactor control console (i.e., reactor trip switches, trip bkr bezels, supply breakers 1(2)E6D and 1(2)G6D).

EOP-FRSM-1 requires an Equipment Operator to locally open the Reactor Trip Breakers and trip the Rod Drive MG Sets. These actions are performed outside the Main Control Room and are not to be credited as a successful manual trip.For emergency classification purposes, the reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed.

This equates to < 5% power, the value used to determine a valid Shutdown Margin Status Tree Red Path. CSFST Shutdown Margin red path is illustrated in Attachment 2, page 5.Entry into EOP-FRSM-1 will be required if the manual trip from the console "trip handles" or Turbine Trip and P-9 (> 49% Power) is not successful.

EOP-FRSM-1 requires an Equipment Operator to locally open the Reactor Trip Breakers and trip the Rod Drive MG Sets. Since this action is outside the Control Room, a successful remote Reactor Trip will still require classification under this EAL because the design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded or because of the gross failure of the RPS to shut down the plant. The threshold value of < 5%reactor power was selected to be consistent with CFST EOP-FRSM-1 entry criteria.

This EAL equates to the criteria used to determine a valid CFST Shutdown Margin Red Path.Under these conditions, the reactor is producing more heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed and efforts to bring the reactor subcritical are unsuccessful.

In the event either of these challenges exists at a time that the reactor has not been brought below the power associated with the safety system design, a core melt sequence exists. In this situation, core degradation can occur rapidly. For this reason, the GENERAL EMERGENCY declaration is intended to be anticipatory of the fission product barrier table declaration to permit maximum offsite intervention time.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: SG3.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -215 Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

For emergency classification purposes, the reactor should be considered shutdown when it is producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed.

This equates to < 5% power, the value used to determine a valid Shutdown Margin Status Tree Red Path. CSFST Shutdown Margin red path is illustrated in Attachment 2, page 5.Entry into EOP-FRSM-1 will be required if the manual trip from the console "trip handle" or Turbine Trip and P-9 (> 49% Power) is not successful.

EOP-FRSM-1 requires an Equipment Operator to locally open the Reactor Trip Breakers and trip the Rod Drive MG Sets. Since this action is outside the control room, a successful remote Reactor Trip will require classification under this EAL. The threshold value of 5% reactor power was selected to be consistent with CFST EOP-FRSM-1 entry criteria.

For events, which result in a return to > 5% reactor power from some lower value, classification under this EAL would be required.Further degradation is indicated by the occurrence of valid CFST Core Cooling red path or Heat Sink red path. The Core Cooling red path is indicative of a loss of core cooling and the Heat Sink red path of a potential loss of core cooling. CFST status will not be used for event classification until the Control Room Staff has implemented the CFSTs. CFST Core Cooling and CFST Heat Sink are illustrated in Attachment 2 page 4 and 6, respectively.

If the Heat Sink red path is due to a procedurally directed action, classification under this EAL is not required.

EOP-FRSM-1 directs the operators to minimize feedwater flow to the steam generators in order to minimize cooldown and control reactivity.

A heat sink red path is generated as a result of this operator action. However, actual loss of control of the heat sink does not occur due to these actions. In addition, the heat sink red path is precursor to a loss of core cooling and is backed up by the core cooling red path. Declaration of a General Emergency is not justified if the heat sink red path is a result of procedurally directed actions.EAL Bases Reference(s):

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This EAL recognizes the difficulty associated with monitoring changing plant conditions without the use of a major portion of the annunciation or indication equipment.

A UNPLANNED loss of most or all Control Room Overhead Annunciators or other key control room safety function indicators without a plant transient in MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4 for _ 15 minutes warrants a heightened awareness by Control Room Operators.

Quantification of> 75% is left to the discretion of the Shift Manager (SM), and is considered approximately 75%. It is not intended that a detailed count be performed, but that a rough approximation be used to determine the severity of the loss.OP-AB.ANN-0001 (Q) details increased monitoring and surveillance requirements as well as alternate indicators.

15 minutes is used as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. The 15 minutes clock starts when the annunciators or other key Control Room safety function indications have been lost, or are determined to have been lost. If upon time of discovery it is determined that the annunciators or key safety function indications have been lost for at least 15 minutes prior to discovery, classification should be made under this EAL regardless of time required for restoration.

If it is determined that the annunciators were lost for at least 15 minutes with the annunciators now available at the time of discovery, classification is not required under this EAL, but a review of the "After The Fact" RAL (11.6)should be completed.

The availability of one method of ordinary off-site communications is sufficient to inform federal, state, and local authorities of plant problems.

This EAL is intended to be used only when extraordinary means (e.g., relaying of information from non-routine radio transmissions, individuals being sent to off-site locations, etc.) are being used to make communications possible.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Onsite and offsite communications include one or more of the systems listed in Table S-2.Direct Inward Dial System (DID)Direct Inward Dial (DID) system is named for the dominant feature of the commercial telephone service provided by the local telephone company for the site. DID allows station telephones to be extensions or tied lines of the same systems. These exchanges can take advantage of backup power supplies provided to the stations, and may use either PSEG microwave, commercial telephone system microwave, or buried cable transmission systems to maintain external communications.

This commercial telephone service is available as an additional backup for the NETS and Centrex/ESSX 1 system.Station Page System (Gaitronics)

Gaitronics is a completely transistorized voice communication system with five voice channels: one page and five party. The system is designed for use in extreme environmental conditions such as dust, moisture, heat and noise. The system consists of handsets, speakers and their associated amplifiers.

The power for this system is 120 volts AC from an inverted DC source to provide reliable communications during an emergency.

Station Radio System The Operations and Fire Protection Department UHF radio system is a multi-frequency system used routinely by both station Operations Departments and the Fire Protection Department.

When an emergency event is declared, these radio frequencies serve both station Operations Support Centers (OSC).Nuclear Emergency Telephone System (NETS)The Nuclear Emergency Telecommunications System (NETS) is a privately controlled, self-contained telephone exchange that operates as a closed system, not accessible from other phone exchanges.

This feature allows the system to be dedicated to emergency response Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: SU6.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -218 use. The system may use PSEG microwave, commercial telephone system microwave, fiber optics, or buried cable transmission as needed. The exchange switching equipment is maintained at the Environmental

& Energy Resource Center (EERC). As an independent system with an uninterruptible power supply, it may operate with or without local phone service or external power.Centrex Phone System (ESSX)The Centrex/Electronic Switch System Exchange 1 (Centrex/ESSX

1) is also a privately controlled exchange, which PSEG operates with its own microwave signal system. This system is also independent of local phone service, since each circuit is independently wired.The microwave signal is generated from corporate facilities in Newark, NJ, separated from any local effects of weather or telephone use. The exchange is accessible from other exchanges, but circuits are located only in PSEG facilities.

It is considered the primary backup for the NETS system.NRC (ENS)The Emergency Notification System (ENS) is a dedicated communications system with the NRC, which is part of the Federal Telecommunications System (FTS) and consists of direct lines to the NRC. FTS lines are used to provide general accident information.

These telephones are installed in the Control Room, TSC, and the EOF.This EAL is the hot condition equivalent of the cold condition EAL CU5.1.EAL Bases Reference(s):

• 2R31 in alarm Basis: This EAL is included because it is a precursor of more serious conditions and, as result, is considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant.Escalation of this EAL to the ALERT level is via the Fission Product Barriers.This threshold addresses letdown radiation monitor readings that provide indication of a degradation of fuel clad integrity.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Letdown Line Monitors serve as a failed fuel detector by monitoring gamma levels in the reactor coolant letdown line. Unit 1 Letdown Line Monitor (1 R31A) is a gross iodine monitor.The Unit 2 Letdown Line Monitor (2R31) is an ion chamber which measures letdown line activity.

The Letdown Line Monitor "warning" setpoints are administratively set at 50% of the"alarm" setpoints.

• 1R31A "alarm" setpoint is based on 1% failed fuel. The "warning" setpoint represents about 0.5% failed fuel and has been selected because the setpoint would be readily identifiable on Control Room instrumentation.

• 2R31 "alarm" setpoint is based on 0.1% failed fuel. This setpoint is readily identifiable and also representative of typical values of coolant activity at Technical Specification limits.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: SU7.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-219 Read-outs for these monitors can be obtained in the Control Room.Other radiation monitors that may be used to confirm a valid Letdown Line Monitor alarm include: " 1(2)R4 Charging Pump Room" 1(2)R26 Reactor Coolant Filter" Containment Area Rad Monitors (1 (2)R2, 1(2)7, 1(2)1 OA, 1(2)1 OB)Definitions:

VALID: An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

The 10 gpm value for the UNIDENTIFIED or PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE was selected as it is observable with normal Control Room indications.

Lesser values must generally be determined through time-consuming surveillance tests (e.g., mass balances).

Relief valve normal operation should be excluded from this EAL. However, a relief valve that operates and fails to close per design should be considered applicable to this EAL if the relief valve cannot be isolated.The EAL for identified leakage is set at a higher value due to the lesser significance of IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE in comparison to UNIDENTIFIED or PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE. In either case, escalation of this EAL to the ALERT level is via Fission Product Barrier Degradation EALs.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

RCS Leakage is defined as any leakage of Reactor Coolant this is unisolable or affects Pressurizer level. RCS Leakage of the magnitude described in this EAL is consistent with an Unusual Event classification and should be declared immediately.

Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: SU81 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-220 The Technical Specification definitions for UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE, IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE are provided below.Relief valve normal operation (e.g., PZR PORV or safety valves) should be excluded from emergency classification under this EAL. A relief valve that fails to close per design and cannot be isolated from the Control Room, however, should be considered applicable to this EAL.Utilizing the leak before break concept, it is anticipated that there will be indications of minor RCS boundary leakage prior to a fault escalating to a major leak or rupture. Detection of low levels of leakage while pressurized permits monitoring for catastrophic failure or rupture precursors.

The Control Room staff is equipped with the Plant Computer (PRIM SYS LEAK RATE program) and manual methods of determining the extent of RCS leakage.Examples of RCS leakage and applicability include: Example #1: A rapidly lowering Volume Control Tank (VCT) level is identified during a Radwaste evolution involving the draining of the #12 Mixed Bed Demineralizer (MBD). The Control Room staff identifies the condition and the drain valve on the MBD is closed. Charging flow has not changed and VCT level is stabilized within 3 minutes. The calculated leak rate is 73 gpm for 3 minutes.This is not reportable because the leakage did not affect pressurizer level and the leak was isolable from the RCS. Note that Tech Spec limits still apply.Example #2: A Unit 2 RCS leakrate calculation identified a 30-gpm leak. VCT level has started to drop unexpectedly and enough time has passed that there are minor variations in pressurizer level. The source of the leak is unknown. After about 20 minutes, it was determined that the source of the leak was the stem leakoff line from the 2CV55.This event should be classified within the 15 minute clock and declared an Unusual Event even though the leak could have been isolated.

Any reduction in pressurizer level, which can be attributed to a Reactor Coolant System leak should be quantified and the Technical Specification entered and the applicable EAL entered as appropriate.

The use of increasing charging flow to quantify Reactor Coolant System leakage is acceptable provided there is an actual Reactor Coolant System leak. This could result in a stable pressurizer level and should be reviewed against Technical Specifications and the ECG as applicable.

If at any time the source of the leakage is unknown and it meets the ECG criteria, the Emergency Coordinator should classify the event.Escalation to the ALERT emergency classification level is via EALs in Category F. Note 6 has been added to remind the EAL-user to review the Fission Product Barrier EALs for possible escalation to higher emergency classifications.

Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine spiking) allowed within technical specifications and are therefore indicative of fuel damage.This value is higher than that specified for RCS barrier Loss RB1-L. Thus, this threshold indicates a loss of both the Fuel Clad barrier and RCS barrier that appropriately escalates the emergency classification level to a Site Area Emergency.

1(2)R44A and 1(2)R44B are the Containment High Range area radiation monitors.

The threshold value of 300 R/hr has been calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 300 pCi/gm Dose Equivalent 1-131 into the Containment atmosphere.

1 -Power Operations, 2 -Startup, 3 -Hot Standby, 4 -Hot Shutdown EAL# & Point Value: RB3-P (4 points)EAL: One Centrifugal Charging Pump CANNOT maintain PZR level > 17% as a result of RCS leakage Basis: This threshold is based on the apparent inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the Chemical and Volume Control System which is considered to be the flow rate equivalent to one charging pump discharging to the charging header. Minimizing letdown is a standard abnormal operating procedure action and may prevent unnecessary classifications when a non-RCS leakage path such as a CVCS leak exists. The intent of this condition is met if the leak is in Letdown and attempts to isolate Letdown are NOT successful.

Additional charging pumps being required is indicative of a substantial RCS leak.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Significant leakage from the RCS requires implementation of S1 (S2).OP-AB.RC-0001(Q).

Actions required by this procedure specify the use of one Centrifugal Charging Pump, discharging to the charging header, and Letdown reduced to a minimum. If RCS leakage results in an inability to maintain the specified Pressurizer (PZR) level with a normal charging lineup and minimum Letdown flow using one Centrifugal Charging Pump, an RCS inventory loss is occurring that would require initiation of Reactor Trip and Safety Injection (SI) and entry into EOP-TRIP-1.

This RCS Potential Loss assumes that any event that would result in significant RCS mass loss will require at least an Alert emergency classification.

Non-RCS leakage events (such as steam or feedwater system breaks) in which no mass is lost from the RCS should not be classified under this RCS barrier Loss. SGTRs that result in entry into I(2)-EOP-SGTR-1 shall be classified under RCS Barrier Loss RB3-L. If a SGTR does not result in I(2)-EOP-SGTR-1 entry, it should be classified as a minimum under this RCS barrier Potential Loss if PZR level cannot be maintained above 17%.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: RB3-P SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-222 When PZR level drops to 17%, Letdown isolates and pressurizer heaters deenergize.

130' Containment Area Rad Monitor 1(2)R2 has an instrument scale range of 0.1 mR/hr to 10 RPhr and, therefore, offers the preferred method of assessing this RCS Barrier Loss. 1 RPhr on this monitor is indicative of the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with Technical Specification concentrations into the Containment atmosphere.

< 0°F (as a result of RCS leakage)Basis: This threshold addresses conditions where leakage from the RCS is greater than available inventory control capacity such that a loss of subcooling has occurred.

The loss of subcooling is the fundamental indication that the inventory control systems are inadequate in maintaining RCS pressure and inventory against the mass loss through the leak.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

RCS subcooling of 0°F or less is a criterion in the CFST Core Cooling YELLOW path (or higher) and is monitored in the Continuous Action Summary (CAS). Subcooling is indicated in the Control Room on Subcooling Margin Monitor Channel A and Channel B. This threshold focuses on RCS inventory loss due to LOCA conditions.

Non-RCS leakage events (such as steam or feedwater system breaks) in which no mass is lost from the RCS should not be classified under this RCS barrier Loss. Subcooling equal to or less than 0°F is indication that leakage from the RCS barrier is greater than the available inventory control capacity.This threshold does not apply to primary-to-secondary leakage events since adequate injection capability should be available for the spectrum of such events including Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR). Refer to RCS barrier Loss RB3-L for SGTR.EOP directed actions resulting in deliberate subcooling reduction (e.g. during SGTR saturated recovery), steam/feedwater line breaks, or momentary reductions below 0°F that are recoverable (e.g. SI flow reduction sequence) should not be classified under this EAL.EAL Bases Reference(s):

In addition, the inability to monitor the barrier should also be incorporated in this threshold as a factor in Emergency Coordinator judgment that the barrier may be considered lost.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The Emergency Coordinator judgment threshold addresses any other factors relevant to determining if the RCS barrier is lost. Such a determination should include IMMINENT barrier degradation, barrier monitoring capability and dominant accident sequences.

• Barrier degradation exists if the degradation will likely occur within two hours based on a projection of current safety system performance.

• Barrier monitoring capability is decreased if there is a loss or lack of reliable indicators.

This assessment should include instrumentation operability concerns, readings from portable instrumentation and consideration of offsite monitoring results.* Dominant accident sequences lead to degradation of all fission product barriers and likely entry to the EOPs. The Emergency Coordinator should be mindful of the Loss of AC power (Station Blackout) and ATWT EALs to assure timely emergency classification declarations.

EAL# & Point Value: F -Fission Product Barrier Degradation CFSTs Potential Loss of Containment 1 -Power Operations, 2 -Startup, 3 -Hot Standby, 4 -Hot Shutdown CB1-P (2 points)EAL: CFST Containment RED path exists Basis: RED path indicates an extreme challenge to the safety function derived from appropriate instrument readings and/or sampling results, and thus represents a potential loss of containment.

Conditions leading to a Containment RED path result from RCS barrier and/or Fuel Clad Barrier Loss. Thus, this threshold is primarily a discriminator between Site Area Emergency and General Emergency representing a potential loss of the third barrier.There is no Loss threshold associated with this item.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Critical Safety Function Status Tree (CFST) Containment RED path exists if Containment pressure is greater than or equal to 47 psig. The Containment RED path is in the Containment Environment CFST illustrated in Attachment 2, page 9.Containment pressure of this magnitude results from RCS barrier loss or a faulted S/G inside Containment and signifies an extreme challenge to the Containment.

For this condition, all Containment isolations, as well as automatic Containment Spray and CFCU "low speed" operation should be initiated before this threshold is reached.The Containment barrier is considered potentially lost at 47 psig even though the Containment yield strength is much higher that 47 psig. Thus, this threshold is primarily a discriminator between a Site Area Emergency and a General Emergency (i.e., a potential loss of the third barrier).CFST status will not be used for event classification until the Control Room staff has implemented the CFSTs.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB1-P SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 EAL Bases Reference(s):

The procedure is considered effective if the temperature is decreasing or if the vessel water level is increasing.

Whether or not the procedures will be effective should be apparent within 15 minutes. The Emergency Coordinator should make the declaration as soon as it is determined that the procedures have been, or will be ineffective.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

If core exit thermocouple (CET) readings are greater than 1,200 0 F, Fuel Clad barrier is lost.CETs provide an indirect indication of fuel clad temperature by measuring the temperature of the reactor coolant that leaves the core region. Although clad rupture due to high temperature is not expected for CET readings less than the threshold, temperatures of this magnitude Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB3-P SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 signal significant superheating of the reactor coolant and core uncovery.

Events that result in CET readings above the loss threshold are severe accidents and are a severe accident management "Badly Damaged (BD)" condition.

The BD descriptor signifies possible core overheating to the point that clad ballooning/collapse may occur and portions of the core may have melted.Severe accident analysis has concluded that functional restoration procedures can arrest core degradation within the Reactor Vessel in a significant fraction of the scenarios, and that the likelihood of Containment failure in these scenarios is small. It is appropriate; therefore, to allow a reasonable period of time for the functional restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence.

The functional restoration procedure, 1(2)-EOP-FRCC-1, is the emergency operating procedures that address the recovery an inadequate core cooling condition.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This threshold indicates subcooling has been lost (CET readings > 700 0 F), the core is uncovered and some fuel clad damage may be occurring.

The Table F-1 RVLIS thresholds are used in the CFSTs to signal core uncovery and are, therefore, indication of loss of coolant inventory.

As stated in NEI 99-01 Section 3.8, a major release of radioactivity requiring off-site protective actions from core damage is not possible unless a major failure of fuel cladding allows radioactive material to be released from the core into the reactor coolant.Regardless of whether Containment is challenged, this amount of activity in Containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a Potential Loss of Containment, such that a General Emergency declaration is warranted.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

1(2)R44A and 1(2)R44B are the Containment High Range area radiation monitors.

The threshold value of 2000 R/hr has been calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with 20% fuel clad damage into the Containment atmosphere.

The specified Containment pressure (47 psig) is the Containment design pressure.

Proper actuation and operation of the Containment heat removal system when required should avoid Containment pressures in excess of this threshold.

The threshold is therefore indicative of a loss of both RCS and Fuel Clad barriers in that it should not be exceeded without severe core degradation (metal-water reaction) or failure to trip in combination with RCS breach. This condition would be expected to require the declaration of a General Emergency.

A Containment pressure rise above 15 psig (the Containment Spray initiation setpoint)indicates a major release of energy to the Containment.

No Containment Spray with fewer than five Containment Fan Coil Units (CFCUs) running in low speed or only one train of Containment Spray in service with fewer than 3 CFCUs running in low speed indicates a condition in which systems designed for Containment heat removal and depressurization do not have the capacity to maintain Containment pressure below the structural design limit.The Containment Fan Cooling System is designed to circulate and cool the Containment atmosphere in the event of a LOCA and thereby ensures that Containment pressure will not Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB8-P SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 exceed its design value. Five fan-cooler units are capable of transferring heat from the Containment atmosphere at the post-accident design conditions.

The UFSAR accident analyses determined a minimum of three fan-cooler units with at least one Containment Spray train is needed to maintain Containment integrity.

This indicator relies on operator recognition of an unexpected response for the condition and therefore does not have a specific value associated with it. The unexpected response is important because it is the indicator for a Containment bypass condition.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The term "Unexplained" signifies the pressure drop is not a result of operator actions taken to reduce Containment pressure.

The term "rapid" indicates the Containment breach is relatively large.For cases in which secondary coolant provides the source of energy that raised Containment pressure, a faulted Steam Generator is possible.

This event would require actions in 1(2)-EOP-LOSC-1 to isolate the Main Steam lines, maintain intact Steam Generators for an RCS Heat Sink, minimize Containment pressure, and minimize RCS cooldown.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB1-L SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 EAL Bases Reference(s):

A LOCA is expected to result in a significant Containment pressure rise. This leak rate should result in the accumulation of RCS inventory in the Containment sump as the level rises.

The inclusion of a threshold that uses terms that are commonly used in Emergency Operating Procedures like "RUPTURED and FAULTED" adds to the ease of the classification process and has been included based on this human factor concern.For SG tube ruptures which may involve multiple steam generators or UNISOLABLE secondary line breaks, this threshold would exist in conjunction with RCS barrier thresholds and would result in a Site Area Emergency.

Escalation to General Emergency would be based on "Potential Loss" of the Fuel Clad Barrier.This threshold addresses the condition in which a RUPTURED steam generator is also FAULTED. This condition represents a bypass of the RCS and containment barriers and is a subset of the threshold CB4-L. In conjunction with RCS leak rate barrier loss threshold, this would always result in the declaration of a Site Area Emergency.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This threshold is intended to include all flow paths of Contaminated secondary coolant to the environment directly or through systems which exhaust to the Plant Vent (e.g.; leakage to the Auxiliary Building ventilation system). An exception would be if the EOPs require steaming the ruptured Steam Generator to the main condenser.

The main condenser off-gas (R1 5) pathway is excluded from this EAL provided the release is both controlled and monitored.

This threshold results in a UE for smaller breaks that; (1) do not exceed the normal charging capacity threshold in RCS leak rate barrier Potential Loss RB3-P, or (2) do not result in ECCS (SI) actuation in RCS SG tube rupture barrier Loss RB3-L. For larger breaks, RCS barrier threshold criteria would result in an Alert. For SG tube ruptures which may involve multiple steam generators or UNISOLABLE secondary line breaks, this threshold would exist in conjunction with RCS barrier thresholds and would result in a Site Area Emergency.

Escalation to General Emergency would be based on "Potential Loss" of the Fuel Clad Barrier.This threshold addresses SG tube leaks that exceed 25 gpm in conjunction with an UNISOLABLE release path to the environment from the affected steam generator.

The threshold for establishing the UNISOLABLE secondary side release is intended to be a prolonged release of radioactivity from the RUPTURED steam generator directly to the environment.

This could be expected to occur when the main condenser is unavailable to accept the contaminated steam (i.e., SG tube rupture with concurrent loss of off-site power and the RUPTURED steam generator is required for plant cooldown or a stuck open relief valve). If the main condenser, is available, there may be releases via air ejectors, gland seal exhausters, and other similar controlled, and often monitored, pathways.

These pathways do not meet the intent of an UNISOLABLE release path to the environment.

The existence of an in-line charcoal filter does not make a release path indirect since the filter is not effective at removing fission product noble gases. Typical filters have an efficiency of 95-99% removal of iodine. Given the magnitude of the core inventory of iodine, significant releases could still occur. In addition, since the fission product release would be driven by boiling in the reactor vessel, the high humidity in the release stream can be expected to render the filters ineffective in a short period.There is no Potential Loss threshold associated with this item.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

Indications of Containment failure may be evident without the exact pathway bIein g understood at the time of the failure. If the Containment or part of the RCS is required to be isolated and Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB5-L SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 there are VALID indications that the Containment is not isolated, the Containment barrier should be considered lost.Area Radiation monitor alarms that exceed normal monitor indications without a reason to expect another source such as a gas decay tank, spill, piping shine or fuel handling problem, indicate a loss of the Containment.

Area temperature alarms, rising sump level indications or unexpected system flow indications outside Containment may also indicate a loss of the Containment.

If the Containment Barrier is lost without a loss of the Fuel Clad Barrier, effluent radiation readings may not increase significantly.

Unexpected area temperature alarms, unexpected flow rates or sump level increases outside of Containment, however, may provide the indications that the Containment atmosphere is no longer isolated.

In addition, the term "to the environment" is intended to include any leakage that cannot be isolated either directly or through systems that exhaust to the Plant Vent (e.g., leakage to the Auxiliary Building Ventilation System) or directly to any other area outside the Containment.

A safety injection, high Containment pressure or a Containment vent isolation signal represents a situation that requires the Containment to be isolated from the outside environment.

As indicated in Note 8, this EAL allows for valve closure from the Control Room, prior to event classification, to isolate any system not completely isolated.

Leakage cannot be isolated from the Control Room refers to valve(s) that did not completely close when demanded (either automatically or manually).

This includes Motor Operated Valves not controlled by isolation logic but are manually controlled from the Control Room. For example, if the isolation logic fails to cause valve closure but operator actions implemented in the Control Room successfully isolates the Containment breach path, classification under this EAL is NOT WARRANTED.

Although this EAL ALLOWS for valve closure from the Control Room, the time to attempt closure and make a decision if containment leak isolation was successful RUNS CONCURRENTLY with the EAL 15-minute assessment clock." If, during the EAL 15-minute assessment period attempts from the Control Room to isolate the containment ARE SUCCESSFUL then, this EAL is NOT exceeded and classification per this EAL should NOT be made.* If, during the EAL 15-minute assessment period attempts from the Control Room to isolate the containment ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL then, this EAL is exceeded and classification should be made at that time. There is no need to wait the full 15 minutes." If near the end of the 15 minute assessment period and the control room staff has not been able to attempt containment isolation or the EC is not convinced that an isolation attempt has been successful, then this EAL is exceeded and classification should be made at or before the 15-minute assessment time expires.Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB5-L SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 Definitions:

VALID: An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

In addition, the inability to monitor the barrier should also be incorporated in this threshold as a factor in Emergency Coordinator judgment that the barrier may be considered lost.The Containment barrier should not be declared lost based on exceeding Technical Specification action statement criteria, unless there is an event in progress requiring mitigation by the Containment barrier. When no event is in progress (Loss or Potential Loss of either Fuel Clad and/or RCS) the Containment barrier status is addressed by Technical Specifications.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The Emergency Coordinator judgment threshold addresses any other factors relevant to determining if the Containment barrier is lost. Such a determination should include IMMINENT barrier degradation, barrier monitoring capability and dominant accident sequences.

• Barrier degradation exists if the degradation will likely occur within two hours based on a projection of current safety system performance.

• Barrier monitoring capability is decreased if there is a loss or lack of reliable indicators.

This assessment should include instrumentation operability concerns, readings from portable instrumentation and consideration of offsite monitoring results." Dominant accident sequences lead to degradation of all fission prpduct barriers and likely entry to the EOPs. The Emergency Coordinator should be mindful of the Loss of Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CB6-L SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-223 AC power (Station Blackout) and ATWT EALs to assure timely emergency classification declarations.

This condition could occur due to a loss of off-site power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency diesel generator to supply power to its vital bus. The subsequent loss of this single power source would escalate the event to an ALERT in accordance with EAL CA1.1.Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions: "Availability" means the power source can be aligned to provide power to a vital bus within 15 minutes or is currently supplying power to at least one vital bus.The availability of EDGs that have not been challenged to start during degradation of AC power sources to the 4KV vital buses should be based on meeting Technical Specification action requirements for loss of offsite AC power sources.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: C U 1.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-224 The AC power distribution is summarized in Attachment 2, page 2.Emergency Classification escalates to an ALERT under EAL CA1.1 based on a loss of all offsite and all onsite AC power to all 4KV vital buses.This cold condition UNUSUAL EVENT EAL is equivalent to the hot condition ALERT EAL SA1.1.EAL Bases Reference(s):

The inability to maintain or restore level is indicative of loss of RCS inventory.

Relief valve normal operation should be excluded from this EAL. However, a relief valve that operates and fails to close per design should be considered applicable to this EAL if the relief valve cannot be isolated.Prolonged loss of RCS Inventory may result in escalation to the ALERT emergency classification level via either EAL CA3.1 or EAL CA4.1.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

When Pressurizer (PZR) level drops to 17%, letdown isolates and pressurizer heaters are deenergized.

The Pressurizer cold calibration level is monitored on LI-462. This condition is signaled by overhead annunciator E-36, PZR HTR OFF LVL LO'. Cold calibrated Pressurizer level is indicated on computer points and SPDS.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CU3.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-226 In Cold Shutdown mode, PZR level may be intentionally lowered below the letdown isolation setpoint (e.g., in preparation to detension the reactor vessel head, etc.). For such evolutions, this EAL is applicable if RCS level cannot be restored and maintained within the prescribed target band specified in operating procedures.

Redundant means of RCS level indication will normally be installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted.

However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RCS inventory loss was occurring by observing Table C-1 indications.

An UNPLANNED event that results in water level decreasing below the Reactor Vessel flange, or below the planned RCS water level for the given evolution (if the planned RCS water level is already below the Reactor Vessel flange), warrants declaration of a UE due to the reduced RCS inventory that is available to keep the core covered.The allowance of 15 minutes was chosen because it is reasonable to assume that level can be restored within this time frame using one or more of the redundant means of refill that should be available.

If level cannot be restored in this time frame then it may indicate a more serious condition exists.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E3)EAL#: CU3.3 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-226 Continued loss of RCS Inventory will result in escalation to the ALERT emergency classification level via either EAL CA3.1 or EAL CA4.1.This EAL involves a decrease in RCS level below the top of the Reactor Vessel flange that continues for 15 minutes due to an UNPLANNED event. This EAL is not applicable to decreases in flooded refueling cavity level, which is addressed by EAL RU2.1, until such time as the level decreases to the level of the vessel flange.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

104 ft is the Reactor Vessel flange elevation.

RCS water level is normally monitored using the instrument ranges illustrated in Attachment 2, page 10.During refueling, the reactor head and associated RVLIS piping are removed. Visual observation by personnel on the refuel floor in communication with the Control Room may also provide indication of refueling cavity water level and RCS water level.In cold conditions, RCS level may be intentionally lowered below the Reactor Vessel flange (e.g., detensioning the Reactor Vessel head, reduced inventory conditions, etc.). For such evolutions, this EAL is applicable if RCS level cannot be restored and maintained within the prescribed target band.This Cold Shutdown EAL represents the hot condition EAL SU7.1, in which RCS leakage is associated with Technical Specification limits.

The magnitude of this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RCS level decrease and potential core uncovery.

This condition will result in a minimum emergency classification level of an ALERT.The RCS Level setpoint was chosen because at this level remote RCS level indication may be lost and loss of suction to decay heat removal systems may occur.The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching this setpoint would be indicative of a failure of the RCS barrier.If RCS level continues to lower then escalation to SITE AREA EMERGENCY will be via EAL CS3.2.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

RCS water level is normally monitored using the instrument ranges illustrated in Attachment 2, page 10.The centerline level of the RCS loop hot leg is at approximately 97 ft and the inside diameter of the hot leg penetration is 29 in. The bottom ID would be 97 ft -29/2 in. or 95 ft 9.5 in.Although NEI desires a level for this threshold that is equal to the bottom of the RCS loop hot leg penetration, the RCS level indication capability does not support detection of a threshold level that low. Mid Loop Level indication is capable of monitoring level to 97.3 ft; so, a setpoint of 97.5 ft has been selected.

Local indication is also available to monitor this level. Continued inventory loss could result in a loss of suction to the RHR System. The inability to restore and maintain level after reaching loop centerline (approximately) would therefore be indicative of a failure of the RCS barrier.Salem Page 1 of 2 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CA3.M SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-226 EAL Basis Reference(s):

Visual observation of leakage from systems connected to the RCS in areas inside or outside the Containment that cannot be isolated could be indicative of a loss of RCS inventory.

The 15-minute duration for the loss of level indication was chosen because it is half of the EAL CS3.2 SITE AREA EMERGENCY duration.

Significant fuel damage is not expected to occur until the core has been uncovered for greater than 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> per the analysis referenced in the EAL CG3.2 basis. Therefore this EAL meets the definition for an ALERT.If RCS leakage indications continue and RCS level cannot be monitored for 30 minutes or more, EAL CS3.2 will require escalation to SITE AREA EMERGENCY.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

In this EAL, all RCS level indication is unavailable and the RCS inventory loss must be detected by the leakage indications listed in Table C-1. Level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage (SWS, Component Cooling Water, etc.) to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.In cold shutdown, the decay heat available to raise RCS temperature during a loss of inventory or heat removal event may be significantly greater than in the Refueling Mode. Entry into cold shutdown conditions may be attained within hours of operating at power or hours after refueling is completed.

Entry into the Refueling Mode procedurally may not occur for typically a few days or longer after the reactor has been shutdown.

Thus the heatup threat and therefore the threat to damaging the fuel clad may be lower for events that occur in the Refueling Mode with irradiated fuel in the Reactor Vessel (note that the heatup threat could be lower for cold shutdown conditions if the entry into cold shutdown was following a refueling).

Inventory loss may be due to an RCS breach, pressure boundary leakage, or continued boiling in the Reactor Vessel. Thus, declaration of a SITE AREA EMERGENCY is warranted.

Escalation to a GENERAL EMERGENCY is via EAL CG3.2 or EAL RG1.1.In the cold shutdown mode, normal RCS level instrumentation systems will usually be available.

In the refueling mode, normal means of RCS level indication may not be available.

Redundant means of RCS level indication will usually be installed (including the ability to monitor level visually) to assure that the ability to monitor level will not be interrupted.

However, if all level indication were to be lost during a loss of RCS inventory event, the operators would need to determine that RCS inventory loss was occurring by observing Table C-1 indications.

Table C-1 RCS leakage indications must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.The 30-minute duration allows sufficient time for actions to be performed to recover inventory control equipment.

Post-TMI studies indicated that the installed nuclear instrumentation will operate erratically when the core is uncovered and that this should be used as a tool for making such determinations.

Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

This EAL applies to conditions in which the loss of decay heat removal capability has caused a significant drop in RCS water level below the bottom of the RCS hot leg penetration and core uncovery may be challenged.

RCS level indication capability does not support detection of RCS levels that low and, consequently, alternate means of assessing RCS inventory loss must be used: As water level in the Reactor Vessel lowers, the dose rate above the core will increase.The dose rate due to this core shine should result in up-scaled general area low range containment monitor (1/2R1OB & 1/2R2) and high range containment monitor (1/2R44A) indication and possible alarm. A dose rate setpoint indicative of core uncovery (i.e., level at top of active fuel) is a means to detect the onset of IMMINENT core damage. S-C-ZZ-MDC-2280 documents the basis for the threshold values for the R2, R1OB and R44A values that indicate RCS level at or approaching the top of active fuel. Data from both Unit 1 and Unit 2 was reviewed and values rounded off to provide conservative threshold values that cover both Salem units based on how many fuel assemblies are in the Reactor Vessel and includes an appropriate reduction for radioactive decay of short lived radionuclides.

As Reactor Vessel level decreases life Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CS3.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-226 threatening levels could exist directly above the core; with water level at top of active fuel dose rates 20 feet above the core will be in excess of 38,000 R/hr. Additionally, post-TMI studies indicated that the installed nuclear instrumentation will operate erratically when the core is uncovered and that this should be used as a tool for making such determinations.

For EAL simplification, the thresholds are representative of a partially defueled core (80 fuel assemblies in the Reactor Vessel).* Erratic source range monitor indication may be identified by: o Source range count rate indicators NI31B and N132B o NIS Recorder NR45 o Audio count rate o SPDS o Process Computer o RCS inventory loss may be detected by the leakage indications listed in Table C-1.Level increases must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the Containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.

• CONTAINMENT CLOSURE NOT established

• Indications of > 4% H 2 inside Containment

• UNPLANNED rise in Containment pressure Basis: This EAL represents the inability to restore and maintain RCS level to above the top of active fuel with containment challenged.

Fuel damage is probable if RCS level cannot be restored, as available decay heat will cause boiling, further reducing the RCS level. With the Containment breached or challenged then the potential for unmonitored fission product release to the environment is high. This represents a direct path for radioactive inventory to be released to the environment.

This is consistent with the definition of a GENERAL EMERGENCY.

The GENERAL EMERGENCY is declared on the occurrence of the loss or IMMINENT loss of function of all three barriers.A number of variables can have a significant impact on heat removal capability challenging the fuel clad barrier. Examples include: mid-loop, reduced level/flange level, head in place, cavity flooded, RCS venting strategy, decay heat removal system design, vortexing pre-disposition, steam generator U-tube draining.Analysis indicates that core damage may occur as soon as one hour following continued core uncovery, therefore, 30 minutes was conservatively chosen.Salem Page 2 of 6 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CG3.2 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-226 If CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is re-established prior to exceeding the 30 minute core uncovery time limit then escalation to GE would not occur.Table C-1 RCS leakage indications must be evaluated against other potential sources of leakage such as cooling water sources inside the Containment to ensure they are indicative of RCS leakage.In the Cold Shutdown mode, normal RCS level instrumentation systems will usually be available.

This EAL applies to conditions in which a significant drop in Reactor Vessel water level below the RCS hot leg penetration has occurred with prolonged core uncovery.

Three conditions are associated with a challenge to Containment:

• The status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE indicates the ability to rely on the Containment as a barrier to fission product release." When hydrogen concentration in the Containment atmosphere exceeds 4%, the possibility of an explosive mixture exists inside Containment.

Elevated Containment atmosphere hydrogen concentration is alarmed at > 2% by overhead annunciator C-23, CNTMT H 2 LVL HI* An UNPLANNED rise in Containment pressure in the Cold Shutdown or Refueling Mode may signify an energy addition to the Containment such that the Containment cannot be relied upon as a barrier to fission product release.Definitions:

RCS integrity should be considered to be in place 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 status of CONTAINMENT CLOSURE in this condition is immaterial given that the RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to fission product release to the environment.

The 60 minute time frame should allow sufficient time to restore cooling without a substantial degradation in plant safety.The RCS Heatup Duration Threshold table also addresses the complete loss of functions required for core cooling for greater than 20 minutes during Refueling and Cold Shutdown modes when CONTAINMENT CLOSURE is established but RCS integrity is not established or RCS inventory is reduced (e.g., mid-loop operation in PWRs). The allowed 20 minute time frame was included to allow operator action to restore the heat removal function, if possible.Finally, complete loss of functions required for core cooling during Refueling and Cold Shutdown modes when neither CONTAINMENT CLOSURE nor RCS integrity are established.

RCS integrity is in place 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). No delay time is allowed because the evaporated reactor coolant that may be released into the Containment during this heatup condition could also be directly released to the environment.

The note (**) in Table C-3 indicates that this EAL is not applicable if actions are successful in restoring a decay heat removal system to operation and RCS temperature is being reduced within the specified time frame.2nd Condition The 10 psig pressure increase addresses situations where, due to high decay heat loads, the time provided to restore temperature control, should be less than 60 minutes. The RCS pressure setpoint chosen should be 10 psig or the lowest pressure that the site can read on installed Control Board instrumentation that is equal to or greater than 10 psig.Escalation to SITE AREA EMERGENCY would be via EAL CS3.2 should boiling result in significant RCS level loss leading to core uncovery.A loss of Technical Specification components alone is not intended to constitute an ALERT.The same is true of a momentary unplanned excursion above the Technical Specification cold shutdown temperature limit when the heat removal function is available.

The Emergency Coordinator must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL is IMMINENT.

If, in the judgment of the Emergency Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CA4.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-227 Coordinator, an IMMINENT situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The loss of off-site communications ability is expected to be significantly more comprehensive than the condition addressed by 10 CFR 50.72.The availability of one method of ordinary off-site communications is sufficient to inform federal, state, and local authorities of plant issues. This EAL is intended to be used only when extraordinary means (e.g., relaying of information from radio transmissions, individuals being sent to off-site locations, etc.) are being utilized to make communications possible.Expla natio n/Dis cussion/Defi n itions: Onsite and Offsite global communications include one or more of the systems listed in Table C-4.Direct Inward Dial System (DID)Direct Inward Dial (DID) system is named for the dominant feature of the commercial telephone service provided by the local telephone company for the site. DID allows station telephones to be extensions or tied lines of the same systems. These exchanges can take advantage of backup power supplies provided to the stations, and may use either PSEG microwave, commercial telephone system microwave, or buried cable transmission systems to maintain external communications.

This commercial telephone service is available as an additional backup for the NETS and Centrex/ESSX 1 system.Station Page System (Gaitronics)

Gaitronics is a completely transistorized voice communication system with five voice channels: one page and five party. The system is designed for use in extreme environmental conditions such as dust, moisture, heat and noise. The system consists of handsets, speakers and their associated amplifiers.

The power for this system is 120 volts AC from an inverted DC source to provide reliable communications during an emergency.

Station Radio System The Operations and Fire Protection Department UHF radio system is a multi-frequency system used routinely by both station Operations Departments and the Fire Protection Department.

When an emergency event is declared, these radio frequencies serve both station Operations Support Centers (OSC).Salem -Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)EAL#: CU5.1 SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-228 Nuclear Emergency Telephone System (NETS)The Nuclear Emergency Telecommunications System (NETS) is a privately controlled, self-contained telephone exchange that operates as a closed system, not accessible from other phone exchanges.

This feature allows the system to be dedicated to emergency response use. The system may use PSEG microwave, commercial telephone system microwave, fiber optics, or buried cable transmission as needed. The exchange switching equipment is maintained at the Environmental

& Energy Resource Center (EERC). As an independent system with an uninterruptible power supply, it may operate with or without local phone service or external power.Centrex Phone System (ESSX)The Centrex/Electronic Switch System Exchange 1(CentrexiESSX

1) is also a privately controlled exchange, which PSEG operates with its own microwave signal system. This system is also independent of local phone service, since each circuit is independently wired.The microwave signal is generated from corporate facilities in Newark, NJ, separated from any local effects of weather or telephone use. The exchange is accessible from other exchanges, but circuits are located only in PSEG facilities.

It is considered the primary backup for the NETS system.NRC (ENS)The Emergency Notification System (ENS) is a dedicated communications system with the NRC, which is part of the Federal Telecommunications System (FTS) and consists of direct lines to the NRC. FTS lines are used to provide general accident information.

These telephones are installed in the Control Room, TSC, and the EOF.This EAL is the cold condition equivalent of the hot condition EAL SU6.1.EAL Bases Reference(s):

This EAL indicates a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant, warranting a UE classification.

Escalation would be by Emergency Coordinator Judgment.Explanation/Discussion/Definitions:

The term "sustained" is used in order to allow exclusion of expected short term positive startup rates from planned fuel bundle or control rod movements during core alteration.

These short term positive startup rates are the result of the increase in neutron population due to subcritical multiplication.

Positive reactor startup rate may be identified by:* Source range startup rate indicators N131 D and N132D , NIS Recorder NR45 o Audio count rate 0 SPDS o Process Computer This EAL is the cold condition equivalent of the hot condition EAL SU3.1.Definitions:

Two transmission lines go north to two major switching stations:

PSE&G New Freedom Switching Station and Atlantic City Electric's Orchard Switching Station. The New Freedom Switching Station is connected to the PSE&G 230-kV bulk power system via four 500/230-kV autotransformers.

Orchard Switching Station is also connected to Atlantic City Electric's 230-kV bulk power system via a 500/230-kV autotransformer.

In addition, it is connected to the Pennsylvania

! New Jersey / Maryland 500-kV interconnected system. The third transmission line serves as a tie line to the adjacent Hope Creek 500-kV switchyard line which is also integrated into the Pennsylvania

/ New Jersey / Maryland 500-kV interconnected system.The 500-13 kV station power transformers are connected to different bus sections of the 500-kV switching station:* 13-kV north ring bus: Each 500-13 kV transformer T1 and T2 feeds two (one for each unit) 13-4 kV station power transformers T1 1, T21 and T1 2, T22 associated with group buses.* 13kV south bus: Each 500-13kV transformer T3 and T4 respectively and feeds two (one for each unit) 13 4kV station power transformers T1 3, T24 and T1 4, T23 associated with vital buses and circulating water switchgear.

The 13-4kV station power transformers T13 and T14 (Unit 1) share the loads of three vital buses and two CW bus sections while T21 and T22 (Unit 2) share the loads of three vital buses and two CW bus sections.The onsite power sources for each unit consists of the main generator, the emergency diesel generators (one for each vital bus), and the Unit 3 40-MW gas turbine generator (one for both units). Any two EDGs and their associated vital buses can supply sufficient power for operation of the required safeguards equipment for a design basis LOCA coincident with a loss of offsite power. For the purposes of the EAL, availability of EDGs that have not been challenged to start during degradation of AC power sources to the 4KV vital buses should be based on meeting Technical Specification action requirements for loss of offsite AC power sources. The gas turbine generator can be manually started and paralleled with normal sources of plant startup or standby power but is normally used for peaking purposes.Procedure ABLOOP-0001(Q) provides guidance to use the gas turbine to energize a 13KV ring bus during a blackout if necessary.

The gas turbine generator is not controlled by technical specifications, however, and for classification purposes under this EAL cannot be credited as a power source for the 4KV vital buses.Salem Page 2 of 10 Rev. 0 (draft E)Figures SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-231 AC Power Distribution (cont'd)NEWF RrRDom 52 2-6 MI 502 /-/ 1 -/P347s 21 DISC 1-8 HOPE CREER 5,a7 2-1-S 2- ~ 2-500KV PING BUJS 5--"1I 4KV VITAL lADD 14ASD 1A OZ 1 3ASOýIA 1610D lASS -, 1_13 1CO 1140S0 1) ~ Z 13CSD I C 144M W 13CWE) 13 W 2ADO 24ASO [;:;JDM0 'ý2ASD 2A0 24BSO 23 BS0D 24 -2 2000 jp' 24CS0 3S 23 24CWSAD 2CWV2BD 23CW1MAD/2 T 4W 'C Salem Page 3 of 10 Rev. 0 (draft E)Figures SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -231 CFST -Core Cooling R E Vi S AT DOf AM C R,440I E ,,ýEATE,4 rHMN;MC~ FOR k RP!20?

CREDIBLE / ACTUAL THREAT: Is a threat which poses a likely and serious danger to the safe operation of the facility or to site personnel and public safety.DEGRADED PERFORMANCE:

Assessment of degraded safe shutdown system performance includes examination of systems in standby status as well as those in operation.

When a safe shutdown system is in operation, its performance can be directly observed and compared to its design capability (e.g., rated flow is required but cannot be achieved).

When an operating safe shutdown system cannot fulfill its design function, its performance is degraded.

When a safe shutdown system is in standby, its performance capability may not be readily determined.

One or more of the following can provide indirect indication of its performance capability:

• Electrical faults on power supplies Salem Page 1 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)Definitions SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11-232" Normally closed breakers in tripped position* System annunciators activated* System warning lights lit" Insufficient system pressure from keep-fill pumps* Elevated area temperatures or radiation levels" Increased sump pump operation in areas in which the system is located EXPLOSION:

A rapid, violent, unconfined combustion, or catastrophic failure of pressurized/energized equipment that imparts energy of sufficient force to potentially damage permanent structures, systems, or components.

FAULTED: (PWRs) In a steam generator, the existence of secondary side leakage that results in an uncontrolled drop in steam generator pressure or the steam generator being completely depressurized.

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 required if large quantities of smoke and heat are observed.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 Salem or Hope Creek or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take HOSTAGES, and/or intimidate PSEG 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 Salem or Hope Creek. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities (i.e., this may include violent acts between individuals in the OCA).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 causing destruction.

IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE: As defined in T/S, shall be leakage (except Reactor Coolant Pump Seal Water Injection) into closed systems, such as pump seal or valve packing leaks that are captured and conducted to a sump or collecting tank, or, shall be leakage into the containment atmosphere from sources that are both specifically located and known either not to interfere with the operation of the leakage detection systems or not to be PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE, or, shall be Reactor coolant system leakage through a steam generator to the secondary system (primary-to-secondary leakage).Salem Page 2 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)Definitions SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-1 11 -232 IMMINENT:

INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI): A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage.MALICIOUS ACT: Purposeful malevolent actions directed at compromising reactor safety and thus could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety.MINIMUM EXCLUSION AREA (MEA): The closest location just beyond the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA where a member of the general public could gain access. For Salem the MEA is 0.79 miles.NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS:

Activities at the plant site associated with routine testing, maintenance, or equipment operations, in accordance with normal operating or administrative procedures.

Entry into abnormal or emergency operating procedures, or deviation from normal security or radiological controls posture, is a departure from NORMAL PLANT OPERATIONS.

OWNER CONTROLLED AREA (OCA): Property owned, maintained and controlled by PSEG Nuclear as part of the Salem & Hope Creek Generating Station complex. For the purpose of emergency classification, area from the PSEG Nuclear access road checkpoint and inward towards the stations is considered the OCA.PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE: As defined in T/S, shall be leakage (except steam generator tube leakage) through a non-isolable fault in a Reactor Coolant System component body, pipe wall or vessel wall.PROJECTILE:

An object that impacts Salem and/or Hope Creek that could cause concern for continued operability, reliability, or personnel safety.PROTECTED AREA (PA): A security controlled area within the OWNER-CONTROLLED AREA (OCA) that is enclosed by the security perimeter fence and monitored by intrusion detection systems. Access to the PA requires proper security clearance and is controlled at the Security Center.RUPTURED: (PWRs) In a steam generator, existence of primary-to-secondary leakage of a magnitude sufficient to require or cause a reactor trip and safety injection.

SABOTAGE:

Deliberate damage, mis-alignment, or mis-operation of plant equipment with the intent to render the equipment inoperable.

Equipment found tampered with or damaged due to malicious mischief may not meet the definition of SABOTAGE until this determination is made by security supervision.

Salem Page 3 of 4 Rev. 0 (draft E)Definitions SGS ECG -EAL Technical Bases EP-SC-111-232 SECURITY CONDITION:

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.SIGNIFICANT TRANSIENT:

(1) automatic turbine runback greater than 25% thermal reactor power, (2) electrical load rejection greater than 25% full electrical load, (3) Reactor Trip, or (4) Safety Injection Activation.

TAMPERING:

Means deliberately damaging, disabling, or altering equipment necessary for safe shutdown or security equipment necessary for the protection of the facility.

Confirmed tampering implies that a criminal activity may have occurred which requires a threshold of proof for a reason to believe that no other possibility exists for the incident other than tampering.

UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE: As defined in T/S, shall be all leakage which is not IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE.UNISOLABLE:

A breach or leak that cannot be promptly isolated from the Control Room.UNPLANNED:

A parameter change or an event that is not the result of an intended evolution and requires corrective or mitigative actions.VALID: An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be VALID when it is verified by (1)an instrument channel check, (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

VALIDATED:

AIRCRAFT threat call from the NRC that is confirmed to be authentic.

Calls from the NRC are VALIDATED by use of the NRC provided authentication code or by making a return call to the NRC Headquarter Operations Center and confirming threat information with the NRC Operation Officer. AIRCRAFT threat calls from other agencies, NORAD, FAA, or FBI should be VALIDATED by calling the NRC Operations Officer.VISIBLE DAMAGE: Damage to equipment or structure that is readily observable without measurements, testing, or analysis.

Damage is sufficient to cause concern regarding the continued operability or reliability of the affected structure, system, or component.

Example damage includes:

deformation due to heat or impact, denting, penetration, rupture, cracking, and paint blistering.

Surface blemishes (e.g., paint chipping, scratches) should not be included.VITAL AREAS: Typically any site specific areas, normally within the PROTECTED AREA, that contains equipment, systems, components, or material, the failure, destruction, or release of which could directly or indirectly endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

Discussion:

The ODCM limit of 500 mRem/year is a total site limit that includes Salem 1, Salem 2 and Hope Creek.Therefore, Salem 1 &2 will have an administratively controlled limit of 1/2 the total site limit or 250 mRem/year for EAL calculation purposes.This EAL does not include Iodine Release Rates, since the Plant Vent does not have an Iodine detector.Release Rate = Total Noble Gas Release Rate from Salem (Unit 1 & Unit 2) which would result in a TEDE Dose Rate of 250 mRem/year, The EAL value will be 2 times this release rate.Derivation

-EAL AS1.1 -(Default Release Rate EAL)Objective of Calculation:

Provide a Radiological Release Rate value that equates to a Release resulting in an offsite dose of > 100 mrem EDE at or beyond the site boundary.Discussion:

This IC addresses radioactivity releases that result in doses at or beyond the site boundary that exceed 10%of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public.The monitor reading EALs should be determined using a dose assessment method that back calculates from the dose values specified in the IC. Since doses are generally not monitored in real-time, it is suggested that a release duration of one hour be assumed, and that the EALs be based on a site specific boundary (or beyond)dose of >100 mrem whole body. Iodine Release Rates for this EAL are excluded since the Plant Vent Radiation Monitoring System does not include an Iodine detector.The meteorology and source term used are the same as used for determining AU1 and AA1 monitor reading EALs.Release Rate = Total Noble Gas Release Rate from Salem (Unit 1 & Unit 2) which would result in a EDE Dose Rate of> 001nRem/hr at the site boundary or beyond.Derivation

-EAL AS1.2 -(Dose Assessment)

Objective of Calculation:

Using actual meteorology, provide a dose assessment SSCL threshold TEDE 4-Day Dose value that is equivalent to a TEDE dose of >100 mRem and a Thyroid-CDE Dose of 500 mRem.Discussion:

This IC addresses radioactivity releases that result in doses at or beyond the site boundary that exceed 10%of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Public protective actions will be necessary.

Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public and involve fuel damage.Derivation

/ Calculation:

The dose assessment output on the SSCL is reported at varying distances from the plant as a TEDE 4-Day dose. This TEDE 4-day dose assumes a 4 hr release duration.

To obtain the approximate dose for a projected release condition of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, the TEDE 4-day dose value would need to be divided by 4.A TEDE 4-Day Dose > 4.OE+02 mRem correspond directly to an EDE dose rate value of 100 mRenl/hr and exceeds 10% of the EPA Protective Actions Guides (PAGs). The Thyroid-CDE Dose > 2.0E+03 mRem correspond directly to an CDE dose rate value of 500 mRem/hr and exceeds 10% of the EPA Protective Actions Guides (PAGs) which was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE..Dose Assessment using actual meteorological data provides an accurate indication of release magnitude.

The use of dose assessment based EALs is therefore preferred over the use of Release Rate based EALs which utilize calculations which have built-in inaccuracies because ODCM default Meteorological data is used.SAE EALs Values: (EAL# RS1.2)Dose Assessment TEDE 4-Day Dose > 4.OE+02 mRem Dose Assessment CDE Dose > 2.OE+03 mRem -based on Dose Assessment using Plant Vent effluent isotopic sample analysis as input to MIDAS and NOT based on a default Noble Gas to Iodine Ratio Salem Page 9 of 15 Rev. 0 (Draft E)

-EAL AS1.4 -(1-131 Field Survey Sample Analysis)Objective of Calculation:

Provide a Field Survey Sample Analysis value that equates to an offsite release that would result in a dose of> 500 mRem Thyroid CDE at or beyond the PROTECTED AREA Boundary.Discussion:

This EAL addresses a radioactivity release field survey 1-131 sample concentration or count rate that would result in a Thyroid CDE dose of greater than 500 mRem for one hour of inhalation at or beyond the site boundary.

This value exceeds 10% of the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public.The Iodine- 131 field survey sample concentration and count rate threshold is based on I-131 dose conversion factors (DCFs) from EPA-400. The thresholds are based on a Thyroid-CDE Dose Rate of > 500 mRemrihr for 1-131.Field Survey 1-131 Sample Analysis results are provided as a sample concentration in units of uCi/cc for field samples counted in a Multi-Channel-Analyzer (MCA).Derivation

/ Calculation:

The release sample concentration calculations are as follows.The sample concentration is calculated using the 1-131 Dose Conversion Factor from EPA-400: Solving the following equation for pCi/cc: mRem/hr = (gCi/cc)(Dose Conversion Factor)Then;1-131 Sample Concentration (pCi/cc) = ( ) = 3.85E-07 RCi/c/1.30E + 09m Remo / pCi / cc / hr Where 1.30E+09 mRem/!Ci/cc/hr is the Dose Conversion Factor from EPA-400, Table 5-4, Thyroid Dose, and includes the EPA breathing rate.SAE EAL Values: (EAL# RS].3)1-131 Concentration

Iodine Release Rates for this EAL are excluded since the Plant Vent Radiation Monitoring System does not include an Iodine detector.The meteorology and source term used are the same as used for determining AU1 and AA1 monitor reading EALs.Release Rate = Total Noble Gas Release Rate from Salem (Unit 1 & Unit 2) which would result in a TEDE Dose Rate of> 1000 mRem/hr at the site boundary or beyond.Derivation

-EAL AG1.2 -(Dose Assessment)

Objective of Calculation:

Using actual meteorology, provide a dose assessment SSCL threshold TEDE 4-Day Dose value that is equivalent to a TEDE dose of> 1000 mRem and a Thyroid-CDE Dose of> 5000 mrero.Discussion:

This IC addresses radioactivity releases that result in doses at or beyond the site boundary that exceed the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Public protective actions will be necessary.

Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public and involve fuel damage.Derivation

/ Calculation:

The dose assessment output on the SSCL is reported at varying distances from the plant as a TEDE 4-Day dose. This TEDE 4-day dose assumes a 4 hr release duration.

To obtain the approximate dose for a projected release condition of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, the TEDE 4-day dose value would need to be divided by 4.A TEDE 4-Day Dose > 4.OE+03 mRem correspond directly to an EDE dose rate value of >1000 mRem/hr and exceeds the EPA Protective Actions Guides (PAGs). The Thyroid-CDE Dose > 2.OE+04 mRem correspond directly to an CDE dose rate value of> 5000 mRem/hr and exceeds the EPA Protective Actions Guides (PAGs) which was established in consideration of the 1:5 ratio of the EPA PAG for TEDE and thyroid CDE..Dose Assessment using actual meteorological data provides an accurate indication of release magnitude.

The use of dose assessment based EALs is therefore preferred over the use of Release Rate based EALs which utilize calculations which have built-in inaccuracies because ODCM default Meteorological data is used.GE EAL Values: (EAL# RG1.2)Dose Assessment TEDE 4-Day Dose > 4.OE+03 mRem Dose Assessment CDE Dose > 2.OE+04 mRem -based on Dose Assessment using Plant Vent effluent isotopic sample analysis as input to MIDAS and NOT based on a default Noble Gas to Iodine Ratio Salem Page 13 of 15 Rev. 0 (Draft E)

-EAL AG1.4 -(1-131 Field Survey Sample Analysis)Objective of Calculation:

Provide a Field Survey Sample Analysis value that equates to an offsite release that would result in a dose of> 5000 mRem Thyroid CDE at or beyond the PROTECTED AREA Boundary.Discussion:

This EAL addresses a radioactivity release field survey 1-131 sample concentration or count rate that would result in a Thyroid CDE dose of greater than 5000 mnRem for one hour of inhalation at or beyond the site boundary.

This value exceeds the EPA Protective Action Guides (PAGs). Releases of this magnitude are associated with the failure of plant systems needed for the protection of the public.The Iodine- 131 field survey sample concentration and count rate threshold is based on 1-131 dose conversion factors (DCFs) from EPA-400. The thresholds are based on a Thyroid-CDE Dose Rate of> 5000 mRem/hr for 1-131.Field Survey 1-131 Sample Analysis results are provided as sample concentration in units of uCi/cc for field samples counted in a Multi-Channel-Analyzer (MCA).Derivation

/ Calculation:

The release sample concentration calculations are as follows.The sample concentration is calculated using the 1-131 Dose Conversion Factor from EPA-400: Solving the following equation for [tCi/cc: inRemihr = ([tCi/cc)(Dose Conversion Factor)Then;5000m Re in / hr 1-131 Sample Concentration
