Page 2 of 7 Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, Revision 41 Section Revised Description of Change Table of Contents Section B, Steps 3.1.1, 3.1.4, 3.1.8, and 3.1.10, Figure B-5 (Screen) Changed the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Log Keeper title to "EOF Communicator" and changed the EOF Communicator title to "EOF Log Keeper." This change consists of swapping the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) position titles "EOF Communicator" and "EOF Log Keeper".
This change aligns the titles with the actual function. Given the above, the Step 3.1.4, Sub-bullet A, statement that the EOF Communicator ensures that the EOF is made aware of key updated information is deleted. This change is due to the addition of Sub-bullet B to Step 3.1.10 that states "Ensuring that the EOF staff is informed of significant changes in plant conditions". This new step will cover the intent of the statement that the EOF is made aware of key updated information. The responsibility of informing the EOF of updated information was previously outlined in the respective section. Because this action is already being performed by the EOF Communicator, it is being removed from the Log Keeper's responsibilities step. Step 3.1.10, Sub-bullet B, ""Ensure that the EOF staff is informed of significant changes in plant conditions" is relocated to Step 3.1.4, Sub-bullet B. This change consists of moving the step to keep the EOF staff informed of significant changes in plant conditions from the EOF Log Keeper to the EOF Communicator. The responsibility of informing the EOF of updated information was previously outlined in the respective section. This action is already performed by the EOF Communicator. Because this action is already being performed by the EOF Communicator, it is being removed from the Log Keeper's responsibilities step. Step 3.1.4, Sub-bullet B, "Ensures timeliness of facility briefs by prompting the ED of the briefing schedule, if necessary" is relocated to Step 3.1.10, Sub-bullet B. This change consists of removing the task to ensure timeliness of facility briefs by prompting the Emergency Director (ED) of the briefing schedule from the EOF Communicator to the EOF Log Keeper. The Log Keeper maintains chronological logs of for the EOF and will be tracking the briefing schedule accordingly. Therefore, it is more appropriate for the Log Keeper to ensure the timeliness of the facility briefs. Note that this responsibility is only to assist the ED and is not a required function. Step 3.1.10.A "Transmission and reception of information between the EOF and onsite emergency response facilities in support of the EOF Staff" is deleted. This responsibility is already being performed by the EOF Communicator in Step 3.1.4, Sub-bullet A, by maintaining communications with the Control Room, the Technical Support Center, (TSC), and the Operational Support Center (OSC) for prompt identification of information that needs to be posted in WebEOC or other acceptable method. The EOF Communicator maintains a bridge line with the other facility Log Keepers/Communicators and sharing that information through WebEOC and the EOF. The Communicator is performing this function, so it is not required for the Log Keeper to duplicate the responsibility. Therefore, this step is being removed. The requirement to maintain a chronological log of emergency status and EOF activities is added to Step 3.1.10, Sub-bullet A. This addition aligns the EPlan responsibility of the EOF Log Keeper with the Entergy Standardized ERO responsibilities for this position, per EN-EP-609, "Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Operations." This additional task will align with the overall responsibility of the Log Keeper. Step 3.1.10, Sub-bullet C, "Assisting the EOF Manager with other non-regulatory notifications and communication" is relocated to Step 3.1.4, Sub-bullet C. This moves the task to assist the EOF Manager with other non-regulatory notifications and communications from the EOF Log Keeper to the EOF Communicator. This change aligns with the Entergy fleet procedure EN-EP-609 and the responsibilities outlined for each position there. The EOF Communicator maintains the log on WebEOC and will be in continuous communication with the other facilities and the ED; therefore, the assistance of other notifications for the ED is more appropriately assigned to the EOF Communicator. The above changes do not change a meaning or the intent of a description, do not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and do not change a process. to 0CAN081602
Page 3 of 7 Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, Revision 41 Section Revised Description of Change Definitions (Screen) Moved "Joint Information Center (JIC)" so it is listed alphabetically after "Initial Response Staff" in the definitions section. This is an administrative change only and does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process.
Section B, Steps 3.2.8 and 3.3.2, Figure B-6 (Evaluation) Deleted "A Team Tracking Communicator is available to assist the Maintenance Coordinator in tracking rescue / repair and damage control team status" from Step 3.2.8 and added Sub-bullet D "Assisting the TSC Maintenance Coordinator with tracking rescue / repair and damage control team status" to the list of Work Control Coordinator responsibilities in Step 3.3.2. In addition, deleted the Team Tracking Board Communicator block from Figure B-6. This change consists of deleting the position of Team Tracking Board Communicator from the TSC. This is not an assigned ERO position. The OSC provides an available person to report to the TSC and fill the role of assisting the TSC Maintenance Coordinator in tracking rescue / repair and damage control team status. This position is an assistance role and not required because, in accordance with the Standard ERO, the TSC Maintenance Coordinator is tasked with this responsibility. An additional step is added to the OSC Work Control Coordinator responsibilities to assist the TSC Maintenance Coordinator with tracking rescue / repair and damage control team status. This additional task aligns with the respective role as described in the EPlan, Section B, Step 3.3.2, as "maintaining communications with the TSC in regards to rescue/repair and damage control teams". A historical review of the EPlan identified that the Team Tracking Board Communicator was added to the TSC organization chart Figure B-6 in Revision 37. The Team Tracking Board Communicator was also added to Section B, Step 3.2.8, as being available to assist the Maintenance Coordinator in tracking rescue / repair and damage control team status. The Team Tracking Board Communicator positon was staffed prior to completing the implementing of the Standard ERO. A review of procedure 1903.065, "Emergency Response Facility - Technical Support Center (TSC)," Revision 10 identified the Team Tracking Board Communicator as a position that is assigned by the TSC Maintenance Manager. The procedure states that the Maintenance Manager assigns a maintenance individual from the OSC Assembly Area to staff this task position. The Team Tracking Board Communicator's Task Guide B-1 requires the Team Tracking Board to be maintained, the Maintenance Manager to remain informed of updated information, and to maintain damage and control team status and priorities. Because all ERO responsibilities are being maintained, the removal of this position will not affect the ERO or its ability to respond in an emergency. The assigned ERO Roster positions that maintain the EPlan are not changing with this revision. The proposed change to the EPlan continues to meet the planning standard outlined in 10 CFR 50.54(1). The effectiveness of the Emergency Plan is not reduced. to 0CAN081602
Page 4 of 7 Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, Revision 41 Section Revised Description of Change Section B, Figure B-6 (Evaluation) Combined the Mechanical and Civil Engineer blocks into one block. The TSC Engineering Support Positions are listed as Mechanical / Civil and Electrical / I&C. These support positions are assigned on the ERO Roster and maintain a duty rotation throughout the year. Section B, Step 3.
2.9, states that the TSC Support Engineers report to the Engineering Coordinator, but does not list the individual disciplines. Procedure 1903.065, "Emergency Response Facility - Technical Support Center (TSC)," states that the Support Engineers support the TSC emergency response efforts, coordinate Engineering activities, provide input for recovery actions, and review the Severe Accident Management Guidelines in the event of a severe accident. A historical review of the EPlan indicated that Revision 36 of Figure B-6 did not list the individual TSC Engineering Support titles. The staffing chart did not list any personnel under the Engineering Manager. Section B, Step 3.2.2, did not mention the Support Engineers. In Revision 37, Figure B-6 was changed to include a Mechanical Engineer, Electrical / I&C Engineer, and Civil Engineer as reporting to the Engineering Coordinator. Section B, Step 3.2.9, states that the TSC Support Engineers report to the Engineering Coordinator, but it does not list the individual disciplines. In Revision 0 of the EPlan, the title of Engineering & Technical Support Manager was used, being responsible for "providing advice on plant design and coordinating engineering activities" and included coordinating engineering activities. Figure B-6 lists Plant Engineering as reporting to the Engineering & Technical Support Manager, but individual Support positions are not listed. In Revision 4, the title changed from Engineering & Technical Support Manager to Engineering Manager. The responsibilities listed included coordinating engineering activities, but the Support Engineers were not listed until Revision 37. This change does not affect the function, role, or number of on-duty individuals because the support engineers are to provide support to the Engineering Coordinator and the individual disciplines assigned to the ERO roster positions will not affect this function. The change to the EPlan continues to meet the planning standard outlined in 10 CFR 50.54(1). The effectiveness of the Emergency Plan is not reduced. Section B, Figure B-11 (Screen) Removed EAL Reviewer block. This change consists of removing the Emergency Action Level (EAL) Reviewer from the Control Room organization chart in Figure B-11. This position was removed in Revision 040 to the EPlan. A 10 CFR 50.54(q) evaluation was performed at that time. This change will be removing the position box in the Control Room organization chart to be consistent with the changes made in Revision 40 of the EPlan. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. Section F, Step 3.0 (Screen) Added "Call out lists" to "ERO Pagers and the Emergency Telephone Directory / Call out lists are used as a backup method for ERO notification". This change consists of adding "call out lists" as a backup method for ERO notification. In Revision 040 of the Eplan, this section was changed to state that the backup methods for ERO notification consisted of the ERO pagers and the Emergency Telephone Directory (ETD). In addition to the ETD, personnel that do not carry pagers are called out using call out lists in the different craft shops. This change is updating the EPlan with the correct method for backup notification that ANO employs. No change to an existing process has been made with this revision. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. to 0CAN081602
Page 5 of 7 Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, Revision 41 Section Revised Description of Change Section G, Steps 2.0 and 3.0 (Screen) replaced "EOF" with "JIC" in the Step 2.0 sentence "The primary location of Entergy Operations' interface with the media is the EOF". The JIC is located outside the protective envelope of the EOF and is not considered within the EOF. Therefore, a more accurate description of where the media interfaces with Entergy Operations is the JIC. The functions of the JIC and EOF have not changed and the physical location of both has not changed with this revision. This change is to clarify where the JIC is currently located. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. (Evaluation) Deleted "An approved list of Company Spokespersons is available in the EOF for reference during emergencies" from Step 3.0. This change removes the pre-approved list of Company Spokespersons for reference during emergencies. This list provided the names of the ERO Company Spokespersons and was updated via memo annually. The Company Spokesperson is now an assigned ERO position on a duty rotation. Due to the ERO position of the Company Spokesperson and the on-call duty schedule in place, there will always be a Company Spokesperson available for emergencies. Further, procedure 1903.068, "Emergency Response Facility - Joint Information Center (JIC)," allows the Vice President, Operations and the Emergency Director to release information to the public. The Emergency Plan also states that the Emergency Director may approve other individuals to serve as a Company Spokesperson as necessary. A historical review of the EPlan identi fied that Section G, Step 3.0, stated "As appropriate, the Communications Manager and/or Communications Liaison prepares, with the approval of the EOF Director, a list of individuals who may serve as spokesmen for the Company" in Revision 0. At this time there was not a Company Spokesperson ERO position. In EPlan, Revision 26, the description was changed to "An approved list of company spokespersons is available in the EOF for reference during emergencies." Previously, a list of spokespersons was prepared during the emergency. This was changed to state that an approved list is always available in the EOF. This change is intended to eliminate the time the Communications Manager needed to spend preparing a company spokesperson list. In procedure 1903.068, Revision 9, the "primary spokesperson should be the Emergency Operations Facility Director, or his/her designee." The procedure also stated that the Communications Liaison may provide reports to the media as directed. The Communications Manager was assigned to preside at News Conferences. In Revision 12 of the procedure 1903.068, this responsibility changed to the JIC Manager or Company Spokesperson as part of implementing the Standardized ERO. In Revision 18 of procedure 1903.068, Section 6.5.1.A.2 stated: "The Vice President, Operations - ANO and the EOF Emergency Director (ED) may release information to the public in those incidents where an immediate release of information is prudent or necessary and the Company Spokesperson is unavailable." This change will not change the ERO position of the Company Spokesperson or the overall responsibility for the dissemination of information to the public. The ability to assign additional Spokespersons will also not be affected by this change. The proposed change to the ANO Emergency Plan continues to meet the planning standard outlined in 10 CFR 50.54(1). The effectiveness of the Emergency Plan is not reduced. to 0CAN081602
Page 6 of 7 Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, Revision 41 Section Revised Description of Change Section H, Steps 1.4 and 1.5 (Screen) Moved Step 1.4 Sub-bullet 2 of the EOF which stated "The Joint Information Center for coordinating the release of information to the media" to a new paragraph in the same section which states "The Reeves E. Ritchie Training Center (RERTC) also serves as the location for the Joint Information Center for coordinating the release of information to the media". This change consists of removing the statement "The Joint Information Center for coordinating the release of information to the media" from Section 1.4, "Emergency Operations Facility", describing what the EOF serves as and moving the statement to a stand-alone paragraph stating what the RERTC serves as. The JIC is located outside of the EOF habitability envelope; therefore, a more accurate description of its location is in the RERTC. The function of the JIC has not changed and the physical location of the JIC has not changed with this revision. This change is to clarify where the JIC is currently located. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. (Screen) Moved information associated with the Alternate EOF capability from Step 1.5 to Step 1.4. In Revision 040 to the EPlan, this information was inadvertently added to Step 1.5 and should have been added to Step 1.4, which is the section that discusses the EOF. No content was changed with this relocation of information. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. Section H, Step 2.3 (Screen) Deleted "in the EOF" from the statement "Communications with the media are normally made from the Joint Information Center in the EOF". This change consists of deleting reference to the JIC being located in the EOF. The JIC is located outside the protective envelope of the EOF and, therefore, is not consider within the EOF. Therefore, a more accurate description of the JIC location would be within the RERTC. The function of the JIC and its physical location has not changed with this revision. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. (Screen) Replaced "EOF" with "JIC" in the sentence "In the event of an EOF evacuation, an Alternate Joint Information Center (AJIC) may be activated". This change consists of clarifying that the JIC may be evacuated due to conditions other than when the EOF is evacuated. Therefore, removing "EOF evacuation" and replacing it with "JIC evacuation" eliminates having only one condition that would result in the Alternate JIC being activated. This change results in no change to the current process for evacuating the JIC to the Alternate JIC, but is a clarification only. Procedure 1903.068, "Emergency Response Facility - Joint Information Center (JIC)," states that "in the event it is necessary to evacuate t he JIC, the JIC cannot be staffed or a security event has occurred, an Alternate JIC (AJIC) is provided in Little Rock at the Entergy Call Center". This proposed change will allow for other conditions requiring JIC evacuation which aligns with the procedure. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process.Section I, Step 2.2.7 (Screen) Replaced "dose rates" with "dose" and "recommendations" with "guidelines" in the sentence "provides an estimate of the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Child Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) doses, displays zones exceeding protective action guidelines, and refines projections based on available field monitoring data." This change consists of replacing "dose rates" with "dose" and "recommendations" with "guidelines". This change will update the statement to be more accurate in its description of TEDE and Child Thyroid dose and that the Dose Assessment program provides a visual display of zones that exceed protective action guidelines instead of recommendations. None of the changes affect the program or the information that is produced using the program. Instead, it is clarifying the description. This change does not change a meaning or the intent of a description, does not change emergency response facilities or equipment, and does not change a process. to 0CAN081602
Page 7 of 7 Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, Revision 41 Section Revised Description of Change Bases for Acceptability of Changes The above changes have been screened and/or evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q). The changes continue to meet the applicable planning standards outlined in 10 CFR 50.47(b). This revision does not represent a reduction in the effectiveness to the Emergency Plan.

Emergency Director (ED) - The designated senior management position who assumes Emergency Direction and Control from the Shift Manager/ED to direct the overall emergency response. Duties are discussed in Section B.
Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ) - Those areas around the nuclear facility which form the basis for emergency planning activities.
- a. 10-mile EPZ (Plume Exposure Pathway) - The area within a 10-mile radius of ANO in which the principal sources of exposure are whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited materials and/or inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The duration of principal potential exposures could range in length from hours to days. This area is also referred to as the "inhalation
exposure pathway." b. 50-mile EPZ (Ingestion Exposure Pathway) - The area within a 50-mile radius of the ANO reactor buildings that may be affected by deposition from a radiological release.
The principle exposure would be from the ingestion of water or foods and the potential
exposure time could range from hours to months.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 21 DEFINITIONS (Continued)
Emergency Response Organization (ERO) - The emergency organization composed of the Initial Response Staff, the Emergency Operations Facility staff, the Technical Support Center Staff, the Operational Support Center Staff, and the Emergency Team members. It has the capability to provide manpower and other resources necessary for immediate and long-term response to an emergency situation.
Exclusion Area - That area surrounding Arkansas Nuclear One within a minimum radius of 0.65 miles of the reactor buildings and controlled to the extent necessary by Entergy Operations during an emergency. This area includes certain portions of the bed and banks of the Dardanelle Reservoir which are owned by the United States. An easement has been obtained from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers which entitles Entergy Operations, as an agent of Entergy Arkansas, Inc., to exclude all persons from these areas during an emergency. A map of the Exclusion Area is provided in Figure J-1.
Health Physics Network (HPN) - The primary means of communicating radiological data (onsite and offsite measurements and dose assessment information) from the licensee to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Hostile Action - An act toward a nuclear power plant or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidates 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 the nuclear power plant. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the Owner Controlled Area).
Hostile Force - One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.
Initial Response Staff (IRS) - The emergency organization primarily composed of plant personnel which must be able to augment the onsite plant personnel in accordance with Table B-1 of the Emergency Plan.
Joint Information Center (JIC) - An offsite location used by Entergy Operations, the state, local, and other governmental agencies for the purpose of addressing the news media of conditions at ANO.
Nuclear Planning and Response Program (NP&RP) - Office of the Arkansas Department of Health located at the Entergy Arkansas, Inc. Russellville Service Center for the purposes of assistance to local government.
Operational - Status of an emergency facility declared by the appropriate facility manager upon determining that the facility is adequately staffed and equipment is setup and available to assume/perform the emergency functions assigned to that facility.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 22 DEFINITIONS (Continued)
Operational Support Center (OSC) - Emergency response center within the ANO Maintenance Facility where support is coordinated for the following functions: Onsite radiological monitoring, maintenance, chemistry, emergency medical support, fire fighting support. The OSC, located in the Maintenance Facility, serves as the briefing area for repair and damage control teams. The "OSC Assembly Area", located in the Maintenance Facility serves as the designated assembly area for the repair and damage control teams.
Owner Controlled Area (OCA) - The external area contiguous to the designated reactor site Protected Area over which site Security exercises control. The OCA extends outward to the Entergy site property lines.
Plant Evacuation - The orderly withdrawal of all personnel from the protected area except for those personnel required to respond to the situation.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 33 INTRODUCTION 1.0 STATEMENT OF EMERGENCY PLANNING POLICY
It is the policy of Entergy Operations, Incorporated that unusual events or accidents which may occur at its nuclear facilities are responded to in an organized and planned manner in order that potential hazards and concerns of the public as a result of the event or incident may be minimized. This response is based on the best understanding of the actual situation, with prudent actions and defined plans for possible complications. It is an essential part of this policy to provide prompt and publicly understandable information about these events to the nearby community and the public at large so that theirs may be an informed response.
The Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan implements this Entergy Operations policy by establishing a company-wide organization for emergency response and planned response program to be activated should incidents at the Company's nuclear facilities have the potential for an external impact. Because these incidents may range from minor events requiring only a public information release to major events involving serious offsite consequences, the Emergency Plan was prepared with consideration to this variance. The Emergency Plan incorporates an orderly and timely decision-making process which ensures that the response is appropriate to the situation. The Emergency Plan creates a foundation of required information and guidelines for responsive decision-making, and, in addition, ensures the availability of the necessary facilities, equipment, supplies, services and personnel to handle emergency situations.
The Emergency Plan provides assurance that an effective interface between Entergy Operations and the Federal, State and local government agencies responsible for radiological response planning has been established. The Plan assures that appropriate measures are taken promptly to protect the health, safety, and property of the public for situations involving potential radiological hazards.
The Emergency Plan includes by reference the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures; defines the division of responsibilities and the support of site and corporate groups; and serves as a preparedness document for site and corporate response guidance. Details of implementation of the Emergency Plan such as step-by-step instructions, checklists, and telephone numbers are contained in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and the Emergency Telephone Directory.
2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY This section of the Emergency Plan defines the unit, station, and area to which the Plan applies and presents a summary of the Plan's interrelationships with (1) its implementing procedures; (2) plant operating, radiological control, and industrial security procedures; and (3) emergency plans of participating agencies, particularly the Arkansas Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (ARCEMP), Annex V - Arkansas Nuclear One Radiological Incident Response Plan and the individual County Plans for Pope, Johnson, Yell, Conway, and Logan Counties which are discussed in Section A.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 34 2.1 PHYSICAL AREA INVOLVED
This Emergency Plan is for incidents which may occur at either Unit 1 or Unit 2 of Arkansas Nuclear One located in Pope County, Arkansas, approximately five miles west-northwest of the town of Russellville. This Emergency Plan is primarily applicable to the Arkansas Nuclear One Exclusion Area and the Emergency Planning Zones within a ten mile and fifty mile radius of Arkansas Nuclear One as shown on Figures J-1, J-2, and J-3, respectively, although provisions exist for extending these areas in the unlikely event this coverage is necessary. Figure J-2 is divided into sixteen 221/2-degree sectors (designated as sectors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) and ten lettered radial zones at one mile radii from the center of the plant in order to identify the area surrounding the plant by sector and zone nomenclature. Figure J-4 depicts the location of the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Operations Facility and the site evacuation routes. The location of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) in the area surrounding the plant is provided in Figure J-5.
2.2 PLANS AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES
SUMMARY
Entergy Operations, Incorporated is responsible for overall emergency response planning and implementation. The Emergency Plan describes the provisions made by Entergy Operations to respond to emergency situations within the Exclusion Area, and establishes the interfaces between Entergy Operations and local, State and Federal organizations capable of responding to plant-related emergencies which may extend outside the Exclusion Area. Details concerning implementation of the Emergency Plan which are reasonably expected to change from time-to-time (e.g., names and telephone numbers, specific items of equipment and supplies, inventory lists, and step-by-step procedures or checklists that may be altered as a result of experience or exercises) are contained in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures maintained at Arkansas Nuclear One and other designated emergency response facilities.
The titles of these Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are provided in Appendix 3. In the event of an emergency, the normal plant operating and radiological procedures are followed unless superseded by one of the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
The local and state governmental agency response to plant-related emergencies which may extend outside the Exclusion Area is coordinated by the Arkansas Department of Health/Arkansas Department of Emergency Management and is described in the State of Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V, a summary of which is included in Section A.
Like the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Plan, details concerning implementation of the State Emergency Operations Plan are contained in implementing procedures which are maintained in the appropriate government offices. A summary of the individual plans for Pope, Johnson, Yell, Conway, and Logan counties are included in Section A. A brochure entitled "Arkansas Nuclear One, Emergency Instructions; Pope, Yell, Logan and Johnson Counties has been prepared and distributed by the state and local governments and Entergy Operations. Distribution of this brochure within the 10-Mile Emergency Planning Zone is made by one of three means. First, brochures are mailed annually to each rural and urban postal patron for use by the permanent population. Second, brochures are posted in public use areas such as State and Federal parks for use by the transient population. Third, brochures are placed in bulk containers for distribution in public facilities and businesses.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 35 The Emergency Plan includes security threats to the plant as emergency situations. The responses to these situations are described in the Arkansas Nuclear One Security Plan.
Security during emergency situations is maintained in accordance with the Security Plan which
is implemented by separate Security Plan Implementing Procedures.
Fire fighting equipment installed at Arkansas Nuclear One is described in the Fire Hazards Analysis. Fire fighting activities during emergency situations are conducted in accordance with the Pre Fire Plans and the Plant Procedures. Additional fire fighting support may be provided
by the London Fire Department.
Arrangements have been made for local assistance from medical, law enforcement, fire fighting and other support organizations in the event such assistance should be required to supplement the plant organization. These arrangements include letters of agreement/contracts between Entergy Operations and the individual support organizations and the development of Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures for the coordination of any assistance which may be requested. These letters of agreement/contracts are summarized in Appendix 1.
3.0
SUMMARY
This section summarizes the objectives of the Emergency Plan and describes the principal elements of the overall emergency planning logic.
3.1 EMERGENCY PLAN OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Emergency Plan are to:
- a. establish an emergency organization to cope with emergency situations, b. identify personnel and delineate their duties and responsibilities in the emergency organization, c. identify emergency conditions, establish criteria for classifying emergency situations, implement prompt corrective and mitigating actions, perform dose assessment and issue appropriate Protective Action Recommendations, d. establish a system for reporting emergency situations to local, State, and Federal governmental agencies in compliance with the criteria for notification, e. establish a system for requesting emergency assistance, f. establish procedures which coordinate the response of local, State, and Federal governmental agencies for emergency situations, g. establish a system of communications for use during emergencies, and
- h. identify the equipment and facilities available to respond to emergency conditions.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 36 3.2
SUMMARY
OF THE EMERGENCY PLANNING LOGIC
3.2.1 Graded Classification System
This Emergency Plan is based on a system of classification of unusual or emergency situations that present, or have the potential for creating, a hazardous condition. The classification system divides these situations into four subgroups, each of an increasingly hazardous nature, and provides specific criteria, responsibilities, and actions for each of these subgroups. The subgroups are referred to as Emergency Classes. As emergency situations develop or continue, they might be upgraded or downgraded from one Emergency Class to another. This graded classification system is described in Section D.
3.2.2 Emergency Organizations
This Emergency Plan describes emergency organizations which are capable of assembling and effectively utilizing sufficient resources in response to each of the four Emergency Classes. These organizations consist of the Initial Response Staff, which can quickly respond to the immediate needs of the situation, and the Emergency Response Organization, which can provide sufficient resources to respond to the more long-term needs of the situation. These emergency organizations are described in Section B.
3.2.3 Emergency Measures
This Emergency Plan describes the measures that are taken in response to each Emergency Class, and assigns specific duties to members of the emergency organization. These measures are categorized as assessment actions, protective actions, corrective actions and recovery actions. These actions are directed toward the following:
- a. termination of the incident;
- b. establishment of channels of information;
- c. limitation of the area of effect;
- d. protection of equipment and facilities;
- e. care of directly involved personnel;
- f. definition of the boundaries of the emergency area; and
- g. establishment of access control.
When control of the incident has been attained and there is no further danger to personnel and the emergency phase is at an end, recovery and restoration operations are then carried out. The emergency measures for each Emergency Class and for recovery measures are described in Section D and Section M, respectively.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 37 3.2.4 Equipment and Facilities
This Emergency Plan describes the equipment and facilities which have been provided for the protection of plant personnel and the public, and the responsibilities for using the equipment and facilities for each Emergency Class. Additional equipment is assembled at the time of an emergency as is appropriate to the situation. Equipment and facilities available are described in Section H.
3.2.5 Training
In order for this Emergency Plan to be effective and to maintain a high level of effectiveness, training of plant personnel, support groups and the public must be performed periodically.
Section O describes the training provided for plant personnel and support groups to maintain their emergency preparedness. Public education is discussed in Section G.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 A-1 A ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY This section describes the agreements between Entergy Operations and other organizations on assignments of responsibilities for the overall response to emergency situations at Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO). The functions and responsibilities of the Company, offsite support organizations, and State, Federal, and local governments are specifically discussed.
1.0 ENTERGY OPERATIONS, INCORPORATED Entergy Operations, Incorporated has overall responsibility for all emergency planning associated with Arkansas Nuclear One. Therefore, Entergy Operations has entered into agreements with the State of Arkansas, local organizations, and Federal organizations to establish an emergency plan which delineates the roles of Entergy Operations and other response organizations. The response role of the State of Arkansas is described in detail in the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V.
The Emergency Plan describes the provisions to activate an emergency response organization to manage the emergency response within the Exclusion Area; coordinate mutual support activities between ANO and offsite response organizations; provide recommendations to the State on emergency actions; and assure communications between response organizations.
Once the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is activated, Entergy Operations contacts with senior management of State agencies responding to the incident are coordinated by the EOF Emergency Director (ED) or his designee. Initial notification of and continued coordination with the Governor of the State of Arkansas is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer of Entergy Operations, Incorporated and the ED. In general, Entergy Operations coordinates its response with the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), and this agency, in conjunction with the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM), coordinates the support of other State agencies which may be required to respond.
During the initial response, notification of, and coordination with local support services (fire, medical, police), when their support is required at ANO, is the responsibility of ANO personnel.
1.1 RESPONSIBILITIES The responsibilities of Entergy Operations are described within the Emergency Plan as follows:
Section(s) a. establish an emergency organization; B b. identify personnel and delineate their duties and responsibilities A, B in the emergency organization; c. establish criteria for classifying emergency situations; D d. establish a system for reporting emergency situations to local, State, E, F and Federal governmental agencies in compliance with the criteria for notification; e. establish a system for requesting emergency assistance; C, F f. establish procedures which coordinate the response of Entergy B, C, F, Operations and local, State, and Federal governmental G, H, J, agencies for emergency situations; K, L, M g. establish a system of communications for use during emergencies; and F h. identify possible emergency conditions and the equipment and H, I facilities available to respond to such conditions.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 A-2 1.2 ENTERGY OPERATIONS/ENTERGY OFFSITE DEPARTMENT/SECTION CAPABILITIES
This section of the Emergency Plan summarizes the capabilities of major offsite departments within the Company. Generally these services are not required except for events which require extended ERO activation (greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />). Interface between the ERO and offsite organizations are discussed in the appropriate subsection and/or implementing procedure.
Details for implementing responsibilities and actions which are interdepartmental in nature are contained in implementing procedures for this Plan.
The effectiveness of Entergy Operations in rapidly and effectively responding to an emergency condition at ANO is predicated upon having defined methods to obtain the service capabilities within the organization and being able to appropriately utilize these capabilities in a coordinated effort with other emergency response agencies in specific emergency situations. Certain capabilities already designated as sectional or departmental responsibilities under normal company-wide activities are available, including:
Engineering Services Government Liaison Public Relations Financial, Regulatory and Legal Services Administering Nuclear Property Insurance Safety, Health, and Claims Transportation Communications Offsite Security Computer Technical, Analytical, and Programming Assistance Quality Assurance Other specialized capabilities which exist in the corporate organization are available to the plant operating staff and emergency response agencies to assist their efforts in coping with the emergency situation, including:
Coordination of Emergency Response Efforts Transient and Accident Analyses Radiological Monitoring and Analyses Area Logistical Support Materials Procurement Construction Services Meteorology The release of information within Entergy Operations and Entergy regarding an incident is approved by the ED and coordinated by the JIC Manager. The JIC Information Coordinator provides approved updates to Entergy Operations and Entergy employees through Entergy Information Center and the Customer Services Department.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 A-3 2.0 OFFSITE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS Entergy Operations has overall responsibility for establishing and implementing emergency planning. Entergy Operations has agreements with other organizations to provide offsite support to implement emergency actions. This section discusses the State, local, federal, and private sector organizations that are a part of the overall response organization. The following areas are discussed: 1) primary responsibilities of the various supporting organizations for emergency response; 2) the operational role of the various organizations; and 3) the interface of these organizations with the ANO emergency response staff and other organizations, as applicable.
2.1 ARKANSAS PRIMARY GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS
Local and State government have the responsibility for implementation of the State and local emergency plans for the ten and fifty mile emergency planning zones. The general concept of operations used to insure the health and safety of the public is to carry out emergency actions at the lowest level of government having adequate resources to do so.
Under this concept it has been recognized that the local jurisdictions ordinarily will not have the capability for assessing the radiological impacts of an incident. This function is therefore performed by the State and ANO. ANO provides offsite Protective Action Recommendations (PAR). The State has the capability to assess ANO's recommendations and issue protective action advisories to the public.
Local authorities implement initial logistical support activities in coping with emergencies and request relief from the next higher level of government or ANO if resources at that level prove inadequate.
The total offsite State of Arkansas radiological emergency response plan is composed of five county plans for Johnson, Logan, Yell, Conway, and Pope Counties, and the State Emergency Operations Plan. The interfaces between the state and county response plans are defined in Annex V of the State Emergency Operations Plan. Within this plan are provisions for warning and notification of local government and the public, radiological accident assessment, offsite Protective Action Advisories, and State resource assistance for local government. Annex V, being part of the State Emergency Operations Plan, interfaces with all emergency plans for State agencies with response roles in all types of emergencies. This allows considerable resources to become available to protect the public health and safety.
The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management coordinates requests for additional assistance to support the offsite emergency response and recovery efforts of State, county, and municipal agencies and departments as provided in the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan. The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) coordinates with ANO on assessment and provides advisories for the emergency precautions and recovery precautions needed to protect the general public. The five county response plans contain the mechanism for local government to implement the protective actions recommended. The plans for local governments follow the same format, modified to conform to the resource limitations of a given jurisdiction.
The responsibilities of the various participating agencies are described in this section. Interfaces between the Initial Response Staff, the Emergency Response Organization, and participating government agencies are shown in Figures B-3, B-8, and B-10.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 A-4 2.1.1 Local Government
The Arkansas Emergency Services Act 511 of 1973, as amended, requires the highest elected official of political subdivisions to be responsible for pre-emergency logistical planning and response actions to a radiological incident affecting the lives and property within their political jurisdictions. County Radiological Emergency Response Plans have been established for those counties within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. Each county judge has appointed a local Emergency Management Coordinator to administer the emergency preparedness program. Responsibilities of local governments include providing citizens of the affected area with protection to minimize adverse health effects and a plan of action for orderly response to an incident; specifying the means for immediate notification of the population at risk within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone; and upon receipt of notification that a radiological incident has occurred or is imminent, implementing the County Radiological Response Plan to a degree consistent with the magnitude of the incident.
The Technical Operations Control Director (TOCD) of the ADH acts as liaison between ANO and local officials. Upon notification of an emergency, the county officials activate the County Emergency Operations Center and implement the Radiological Emergency Response Plan as necessary. Local requests for additional assistance or equipment are coordinated through the TOCD with the Director of the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. Examples of actions which can be taken by local officials upon the recommendation of the TOCD include:
- a. Evacuation or sheltering of the public; b. restriction of unnecessary movement of personnel into areas; and c. discontinuance of use of contaminated food and water supplies.
ANO provides, upon request by the county, liaison personnel at each local Emergency Operations Center in Pope, Logan, Yell, Conway, and Johnson Counties.
2.1.2 State Government
Ultimate responsibility for the welfare of citizens and continuity of government of the State of Arkansas rests with the Governor. Under the emergency management system of the State of Arkansas, authorized by the Arkansas Emergency Services Act and the ARKANSAS EMERGENCY OPERATIONS PLAN which is published by directive of the Governor, each emergency function assigned to State and volunteer agencies requires that some agency assume primary responsibility for accomplishment of the task. In each instance, one or more other State agencies are assigned supporting roles to provide specialized assistance to the primary agency.
In keeping with the federal regulations and guidelines on which it is based, the responsibilities of "principal organization" for off-site radiological emergency response planning and preparedness in support of Arkansas Nuclear One are shared between two agencies:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 A-5 a. The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH)
The ADH under State law has the primary responsibility for protecting the health and safety of the general public from radiological incidents. Therefore, it has the authority to recommend any precautions (such as evacuation or sheltering) which are required to protect the general public. Additionally, the ADH is responsible for the control of all agricultural products and agricultural production for the purpose of reducing the possible radiation health hazards. Responsibilities of the ADH include providing personnel and equipment to the Radiological Response Team, as outlined in Chapter 4 of Annex V of the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan; and, coordinating with the Offsite Monitoring Section of the ANO Emergency Radiation Team through the Radiological Assessment Coordinator, or designee, for sharing information regarding:
- 1. monitoring 2. decontamination 3. determination of magnitude of release and radiation levels 4. dose assessment The ADH coordinates the warning of, and communications with, the general public in affected areas.
Recommendation of precautionary actions to the public during and after an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One are made by the ADH. The ADH coordinates, to the extent possible, all information disseminated to the public regarding the severity and magnitude of an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One. The ADH is responsible for the initial notification and coordination of local services support to the public.
The individual with Emergency Direction and Control is responsible for the decision to notify the ADH and local officials of the declaration of an Emergency Class at
Arkansas Nuclear One.
The ADH maintains a 24-hour communications center which receives the notification from ANO. Annex V of the State Emergency Operations Plan describes the activation of the State response organization and the interfaces and duties of these organizations.
Initial liaison during an incident at ANO is established through the Shift Manager/ED and the ADH Technical Operations Control Director (TOCD) or their respective designees. Upon formal turnover, the Shift Manager/ED transfers this responsibility to the EOF Emergency Director (ED). Coordination of the response during a protracted incident at ANO is between the ED and the Technical Operations Control Director or their respective designees. ANO recommendations are provided to the TOCD.

The NRC's actions are governed by NUREG-0728, "NRC Incident Response Plan" (IRP) and the NRP's Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex, which supersedes the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP). The NRC IRP uses a flexible system to tailor its response to the significance of an incident. In the different modes of the system, NRC responders' activities change in order to best support the event. If necessary, personnel from the Region IV office in Texas can be at the ANO site within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following the notification of a radiological emergency. Notifications and continuing communications between ANO and the NRC are described in other sections of this Plan and are detailed in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
2.2 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) / FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA)
For incidents below the threshold of an Incident of National Significance, the NRC, as the Coordinating Agency, performs the federal-level functions and coordinates the overall federal response as provided in the NRP's Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex. For incidents of National Significance, DHS is responsible for the overall coordination of federal response activities and the NRC, as the Coordinating Agency, performs the federal-level functions in ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 C-2 concert with DHS. DHS/FEMA, in consultation with the Coordinating Agency, coordinates the provision of the Resources and Assistance to affected state/local/tribal governments under the Stafford Act. In addition, DHS/FEMA maintains integrated and coordinated information regarding the status of all support activities.
2.3 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE)
The responsibilities of other Federal departments/agencies such as DOE, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), pertaining to nuclear/radiological incidents are delineated in the Nuclear/Radiological Incident Annex. For a nuclear/radiological incident in which the NRC is designated the Coordinating Agency, these departments/agencies serve as Cooperating Agencies and provide technical assistance and support to the NRC. During a radiological incident, DOE can provide trained personnel with expertise in onsite/offsite radiological monitoring.
2.3.1 Department of Energy, Oak Ridge Operations
The Department of Energy (DOE) operates the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REACTS) in Oak Ridge Tennessee. In conjunction with the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), REACTS maintains equipment and trained staff to evaluate and treat individuals who have excessive radioactive materials ingestion or significant overexposures to external radiation in conjunction with severe trauma. This assistance is usually only available to commercial nuclear facilities when the magnitude or uniqueness of the radiological emergency exceeds commercially available resources.
2.4 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE The National Weather Service operates on a twenty-four (24) hour per day basis. Upon request, this organization can provide Arkansas Nuclear One with meteorological conditions.
2.5 MEMPHIS UNIVERSITY EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION CENTER / NATIONAL EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION CENTER The Memphis University Earthquake Information Center and the National Earthquake Information Service provide, upon request, information concerning major seismic activity occurring near Arkansas Nuclear One.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 D-1 D EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 1.0 CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM BACKGROUND
ANO maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded. Additionally, personnel are trained to promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification
level.
For the purposes of classifying emergencies, ANO and the State of Arkansas utilize a method outlined in NEI 99-01, in which emergencies are grouped into a four-level response scheme.
This approach to classification has been expanded and detailed to encompass the entire spectrum of possible emergency situations that may arise at ANO. Each of the four classifications is associated with a particular set of immediate actions to be taken. The ANO Emergency Action Levels are reviewed with State and County authorities on an annual basis.
The spectrum of possible emergency situations at Arkansas Nuclear One is categorized into the following Emergency Classes:
- a. Notification of Unusual Event
- b. Alert c. Site Area Emergency
- d. General Emergency
The severity of the Emergency Classes increases in the order as they are listed above from a Notification of Unusual Event to a General Emergency. Each classification is characterized by Initiating Conditions (ICs). ICs consist of plant conditions and specific plant parameters (i.e., instrument readings and system status indications, etc.) that are used to denote the emergency classification and require the implementation of emergency measures, such as notifications and mobilization of resources. Since the severity of the emergency situation may change with time, an emergency situation may be reclassified from one Emergency Class to another. After the initial declaration of an Emergency Class, the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control performs a continuing assessment of the situation to determine whether the Emergency Class must be upgraded. Emergency Class ICs and associated Emergency Action Levels (EALs) that apply to both Unit 1 and Unit 2, are listed in Table D-1, "Summary of Initiating Conditions".
The rationale for the Notification of Unusual Event and Alert classes is to provide early and prompt notification of minor events which could lead to more serious consequences given operator error or equipment failure or which might be indicative of more serious conditions which are not yet fully realized. The Site Area Emergency Class reflects conditions where some significant releases are likely or are occurring, but where a core melt situation is not indicated based on current information. In this situation full mobilization of emergency personnel in the near site environs is indicated as well as dispatch of monitoring teams and associated communications. The General Emergency class involves actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment integrity.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 D-2 2.0 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT Events are in progress or have occurred which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
3.0 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.
Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline (PAG) exposure levels.
4.0 SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that results 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. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
5.0 GENERAL EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or IMMINENT substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or HOSTILE ACTION that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area.
6.0 EMERGENCY CLASS CRITERIA
Table D-1 provides examples of initiating conditions used to determine the Emergency Class. It is noted that most of the listed initiating conditions for the Notification of Unusual Event class are events that can be expected to be terminated quickly, and therefore, the notification process may occur after the event has already been corrected.
The examples of initiating conditions found under the various emergency classifications are intended as general guidelines. Examples represent the types of conditions that may be evaluated to determine the extent of emergency response initiated by the plant operating staff.
However, whether the event is a Notification of Unusual Event, an Alert, a Site Area Emergency, or a General Emergency; there are many variables involved in going from plant instrument readings of a pre-accident situation to significant exposures to the public. Such readings may usefully serve as conservative criteria for determining when to mobilize various emergency organizations, but final decisions to notify and alert the public by the early warning siren system are the decisions of governmental officials.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 D-3 In utilizing the emergency class criteria as the basis for initiating emergency response activity there may be instances when the plant operating staff cannot determine quickly which of two emergency classes is appropriate for a particular occurrence. In those cases, the occurrence should be treated as the higher of the emergency classes and the appropriate response for that class should be initiated.
7.0 DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT EMERGENCY CLASSES A broad range of possible off-normal and accident conditions has been postulated and taken into consideration in deriving response actions to occur at the ANO site. These include radiological and non-radiological events that range from minor occurrences, which may be anticipated during the life of the plant, to highly improbable events, which could affect members of the general public.
Chapter 14 and 15 of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Safety Analysis Report (SAR) contains a summary of the events that have been postulated for the site.
7.1 CLASSIFICATION OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS
The events postulated in SAR may be categorized by one of the four emergency classifications. In many cases, the classification assigned initially may undergo escalation to the next higher classification depending on the severity of the accident. A complete discussion of these events may be found in the SAR.
The operating shift personnel under the direction of the Manager, Shift Ops perform the initial assessment and classification of potential in-plant and offsite consequences. These assessment times should last no longer than 15 minutes. The shift personnel then activate the Onsite Emergency Organization in accordance with the level of emergency response required, thereby providing additional manpower as the emergency evolves.
A list of all radiological-related design basis accidents, addressed in Chapters 14 and 15, respectively, of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Safety Analysis Reports is provided in Tables D-3 and D-4.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 E-1 E NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES This section describes those methods which have been established for notification, by Entergy Operations, of State and local response organizations and for notification of the emergency personnel of all response organizations. The content of initial and follow-up messages to response organizations and the public are discussed. The means to provide early notification and clear instruction to the public within the affected areas are outlined. More information on notification methods is provided by the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
1.0 NOTIFICATION
Entergy Operations has established communications links among the ANO emergency response centers and between the ANO centers and Federal, State, and local emergency response organizations. The notification of response organizations is based on the response criteria developed for each emergency class as discussed in Section D, subsection 6.0. Detailed information on the ERO personnel contacted for each Emergency Class is provided in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. Table F-1 shows the various communication links and the redundant communication equipment available to assure that communication channels are maintained. A description of the communications equipment is provided in Section H.2.
Initial notification is made to the State and local authorities within fifteen (15) minutes after declaring an emergency. Verification methods are used to authenticate messages to the State.
The NRC is notified immediately following notification of State and local authorities and within one (1) hour of the declared emergency.
The Shift Manager and the Operations staff monitor the Control Room instruments and alarms for any changes in the plant conditions. Upon noticing any unusual or abnormal change, the Shift Manager determines if the change or event corresponds to one of the Emergency Class categories as defined by Table D-1. If the event or change corresponds to one of the Emergency Classes he takes further actions as described below. Abnormal events or changes at the power plant are brought to the attention of the Shift Manager of the affected unit by the plant personnel. Situations not unique to a specific unit are brought to the attention of either unit's Shift Manager.
1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT For a Notification of Unusual Event, the Shift Manager/ED initiates notifications in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. In general, notifications include the Emergency Plant Manager, EOF Emergency Director, NRC, ADH, ADEM, local authorities, and site support personnel, as needed. Additional emergency response personnel are then contacted, as needed. The purpose of this Emergency Class is to provide current information on abnormal events to State and Federal governmental agencies and to test the communications links with offsite groups.
If the incident involves a fire, security, a radiological or medical emergency, the Fire Brigade, appropriate emergency response teams/groups, and local support services are notified in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. These local support services may include the London Fire Department, the Pope County Sheriff, the Pope County Emergency Medical Service, the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Hospital, and Monfee Medical Clinic. These local support services activate other local services in their individual areas of support if additional support is required.

This Emergency Class reflects conditions requiring immediate implementation of appropriate predetermined protective actions. Members of the Emergency Response Organization report to Arkansas Nuclear One and other response centers.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 E-3 The ADH also activates the Early Warning System within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone.
The ADH activates its State Emergency Operations Facility (located in the ANO EOF) and dispatches the Radiological Response Team to the site to perform radiological monitoring and environmental impact assessment. The ADEM also activates its Emergency Operations Center upon notification and provides a Mobile Support Unit to the State Emergency Operations Center at North Little Rock.
2.0 EMERGENCY MESSAGES
The forms for messages sent from Arkansas Nuclear One to offsite agencies are included in ANO implementing procedures for the Arkansas Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (ARCEMP), Annex V. These forms are utilized for both initial and follow-up messages. In
general the message forms allow information pertinent to the Emergency Classes to be supplied to the off-site authorities in a consistent manner. Information provided to offsite response centers via these forms include: the class of the emergency; details of the onsite situation; radiological release data including meteorological parameters for making dose projections and determining affected populations; and recommendations of offsite protective actions.
3.0 EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
The Early Warning System for the 10-mile radius Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) around Arkansas Nuclear One consists of a mixture of sirens and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radios. The system is essentially designed to notify the individuals in the 10-mile EPZ within 15 minutes of the issuance of recommendations by the State of Arkansas for radiological emergencies at Arkansas Nuclear One.
Sirens are used to alert the more densely populated areas shown on Figure E-1. The siren
system is divided into five zones: Russellville, London, Dardanelle, Johnson County, and Logan County. Each of these zones can be activated independently or in conjunction with each other.
The locations of the sirens were determined by field studies conducted by the siren manufacturer taking into account ambient noise measurements, terrain and rural and suburban areas. This system was designed considering the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Outdoor Warning Systems Guide (CPG-17) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's guidance presented in NUREG-0654. Tests of the Early Warning System are conducted by the ADH.
The siren system is activated by radio signal. The primary activation point for the siren system is the ADH office in Little Rock, Arkansas. This office is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to accommodate day or night activation. The secondary activation points for the siren system are located in the State Emergency Operations Facility at the ANO EOF and the Nuclear Planning and Response Program office.
The public is instructed in the Emergency Instructions Booklet to tune to local radio stations for emergency instructions when the sirens are activated. Local radio stations have the capability to broadcast emergency messages on a 24-hour basis to the general public.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 E-4 For those residents of the 10-mile EPZ who live outside the siren coverage area, NOAA Weather Radios are made available. Additionally, these receivers are made available to the rural population, large businesses, hospitals, schools, and other applicable groups, within the 10-mile EPZ.
The NOAA radio program is administered by the Arkansas Department of Health's Nuclear Planning and Response Program staff and operated by the National Weather Service. The NP&RP staff issues radios to new residents in the 10 mile EPZ. Recipients of NOAA radios are tracked on a master list by the NP&RP staff and needed repair and/or replacement of NOAA radios identified as defective is also carried out by the NP&RP staff.
The National Weather Service is a 300-watt station, with a 300-watt backup transmitter, which broadcasts 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day to the 10-mile EPZ. Entergy Operations has provided backup generator capability for the transmitter site. A summary of the NWS agreement with Entergy Operations to cooperate as a part of the Early Warning System can be found in Appendix 1 of this Plan.
The NWS is contacted by the ADH staff and informed of the intent to activate the Early Warning System. The NWS is notified in advance of the sirens being activated such that, in conjunction with the siren activation, the NWS activates the NOAA tone which automatically turns the receivers on. A loud tone is activated on the radio to alert the user. Following activation of the receivers, live or pre-recorded emergency messages are broadcast to instruct the public.
Supplemental notification to the EPZ population is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ. Also, in the event of siren or NOAA radio system failures, route alerting is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ.
Special provisions have been developed by the Nuclear Planning and Response Program and Entergy Operations for the alerting of identified handicapped individuals. These individuals, depending upon their handicap, are notified appropriately.
Activation of the system for emergencies not related to an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One is upon local government request.
4.0 PUBLIC WARNING MESSAGES
The State of Arkansas has formulated messages which instruct the public with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by occupants of affected areas in the event of an incident at Arkansas Nuclear One. The messages are provided in Appendix 6 of this Plan and in attachments to the Arkansas Emergency Operations Plan, Annex V. ANO has established notification methods and provides information as discussed in Section E, subsection 2.0, which allows officials of the State of Arkansas to make decisions on the appropriate public warning messages which are broadcast via the local broadcast stations. The ANO staff reviews revisions and provides comments on the formulation of emergency messages, as necessary, so that the ANO Emergency Plan and Implementing Procedures remain consistent with the needs of the State of Arkansas in regard to public warning messages.

This process is initiated by the Shift Manager who is responsible for making the calls as shown on Figure F-1 in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The Shift Manager is required to be present for each shift, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day.
Therefore, notification of organizations can be accomplished at any given time as required.
The ADH maintains a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day communications center which is utilized to receive emergency notification from the site and activate State, local, and Federal response organizations, as necessary. The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM) and the County Warning Points can also be contacted 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day. The ADH communications center and the Pope County Sheriff Department can be contacted by telephone or radio from the Control Room, TSC, and EOF. ADEM can also be contacted via radio using the Arkansas Wireless Information Network (AWIN) radio channel, as needed. The AWIN radio channel is available for use from the Control Rooms, the OSC, and the EOF. If normal communication systems are not accessible, use of the AWIN radio channel allows ANO to forward information to ADEM via AWIN, which can then be forwarded to ADH and the County Warning Points.
2.0 COMMUNICATIONS
2.1 COMMUNICATIONS WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AGENCIES Table F-1 illustrates the communication interface between the EOF and State and local response centers and the communications equipment available. Section H of this Plan outlines the communications hardware that is available for communications from ANO emergency response centers to State and local agencies within the emergency planning zone. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide information on the periodic testing of the equipment. During an emergency, communication links are maintained on a 24-hour basis.
2.2 ONSITE COMMUNICATIONS
Two-way radios are provided for communications between onsite facilities and the radiological monitoring teams.
2.3 COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE SITE AND MEDICAL FACILITIES
Communications with offsite medical facilities are made by telephone. If telephone service is not available, information may be relayed via radio communication with the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. Radio communications between Pope County Emergency Medical Service and the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center are available via a private radio frequency. This system uses a repeater on Mt. Nebo to provide a 30 to 40-mile radius coverage.

SUMMARY
Accident assessment consists of initial assessment activities and long-term assessment activities. At the first indication of abnormal conditions, initial assessments are performed. Actions are taken by the onsite plant staff to declare the Emergency Class, mitigate the conditions, make dose projections, and initiate the appropriate emergency response. When notified that an abnormal condition exists, the Shift Manager is responsible for making the immediate assessments, classifying the event, and initiating notification. The initial dose assessments for onsite and offsite personnel are evaluated and the recommended protective actions are promptly implemented in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. Initial assessment and projected dose data and offsite Protective Action Recommendations are provided to Federal, State, and local agencies.
If the situation dictates, the Shift Manager may activate the Emergency Response Organization. When activated, Emergency Response Organization personnel perform accident assessment activities and appropriate offsite Protective Action Recommendations are determined by the Emergency Director. This information is provided to the appropriate agencies by the
Emergency Director.
The long-term or continuing accident assessment is performed by the ERO. The ERO formulates protective responses; implements long-term offsite monitoring (radiological data gathered from the plume exposure pathway is analyzed and communicated to the ERO for further projected actual and integrated dose assessment); and the Emergency Director approves recommendations of protective actions. Monitoring teams systematically monitor the onsite and offsite environs using the functional plant instrumentation and portable instruments, as necessary. Assessment continues for the duration of the recovery. Federal, State, and local emergency organizations are notified for assistance as required. The radiological assessment procedures for use by the ERO are in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
The general criteria described in Section D are used to define the four Emergency Classes for emergency planning purposes. The initiating conditions are shown in Table D-1. The initiating conditions listed in Table D-1 are incorporated into the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures, along with plant specific indicators, to assist the person responsible for Emergency Direction and Control in recognizing and declaring the appropriate Emergency Class. The instrumentation available to the Shift Manager to perform this assessment is described in this section and in the Safety Analysis Report for each unit.
Tables D-3 and D-4 categorize each design basis accident considered in the Safety Analysis Report for each unit into the four Emergency Classes based upon their postulated consequences. It should be noted that, should any of these design basis accidents occur, the category they would be placed in at that time would depend on the actual consequences (Table D-1) rather than on the postulated consequences used to develop Tables D-3 and D-4.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-2 2.0 ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES 2.1 RESOURCES FOR DETECTION/ASSESSMENT OF NON-RADIOLOGICAL EVENTS 2.1.1 Fire Detection The Fire Detection System is described in Sections 9.8 and Appendix 9D of the Unit 1 Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and Sections 9.5 and Appendix 9D of the Unit 2 SAR.
2.1.2 Seismic Monitoring Plant seismic instrumentation, described in ANO-1 and ANO-2 SAR Sections 2.7 and 3.7.4, respectively, is provided to determine the response of the containment and auxiliary building structures in the event of an earthquake so that such response can be compared with that used as the basis of design.
Should a seismic disturbance occur in the neighborhood of the plant, the accelerations recorded within the plant will be the basis for a decision as to continued plant operation. Information on seismic activity can also be obtained from the Memphis University Earthquake Information Center and the National Earthquake Information Center.
2.1.3 River Level Detection The Lake Dardanelle level indication is monitored at the Lake Dardanelle Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps of Engineers has agreed to notify ANO of probable or actual level changes that will lower the lake below Elevation 335 ft. or raise the lake above Elevation 350 ft. at the ANO site.
2.2 RESOURCES FOR DETECTION/ASSESSMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL RELEASES 2.2.1 Plant Process Instrumentation The plant process instrumentation consists of various pressure, temperature, and level indicators of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) and the Engineered Safeguards System (ESF). Some of the parameters these instruments measure are:
- a. Containment Pressure b. Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Actuation
- c. Pressurizer Pressure
- d. Steam Generator Pressure e. Reactor Coolant (RC) Temperature f. Pressurizer Level
- g. Steam Generator Level Instruments which provide information to the reactor operators for monitoring conditions in the reactor, reactor coolant system, and containment; and specific instrumentation designations and ranges are listed in each unit's Technical Specifications. The alarm and trip setpoints for the listed instruments or components are subject to change as the reactor core configuration changes.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-3 These various instruments or components are used to detect problems within the system(s) prior to a release of radioactivity as well as monitor system status throughout an incident.
Corrective actions to return or maintain the reactor in a safe condition are contained in the Emergency Operations Procedures maintained in the Control Room.
2.2.2 Radiation Monitor for Failed Fuel Detection A monitor in the letdown line of each unit is the designated process radiation monitor which continuously measures the activity of the reactor coolant and activates an alarm in the Control Room if a predetermined activity level is reached. The monitor is described in SAR Table 11-7 and Section 11.4.2.1.1 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.
2.2.3 Radiation Monitoring ANO has an extensive system for monitoring radioactivity throughout the plant, called the Radiation Monitoring System (RMS). This system consists of area and process/effluent radiological instrumentation. The Area Radi ation Monitoring Systems are described in SAR Sections 11.2.5 and 12.1.4 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. The Process Radiation Monitoring Systems are described in SAR Sections 11.1.3.4 and 11.4 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. All channels of the radiation monitoring system indicate, record, and alarm in the Control Room.
The area radiation monitors, process/effluent radiation monitors and SPING monitors which are used to classify and assess radiological conditions are listed in Tables I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5.
Different types of portable survey instruments have been selected to cover the entire spectrum of radiation measurement. Portable survey and monitoring instruments are described in SAR Sections 11.2.6.2.5 and 12.3.2.5 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively. This includes instruments for detecting and measuring alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. Sufficient quantities have been obtained to allow for calibration, maintenance and repair. Laboratory counting equipment is described in SAR Sections 11.2.6.2.2 and 12.3.2.2 for Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.
- a. Process Radiation Monitoring Systems (Units 1 and 2)
- 1. Design Bases All process systems which contribute to plant discharges are monitored prior to entering the various discharge systems. Each discharge system is also monitored providing redundancy of radiation detection for plant effluents. The Reactor Building air, waste gas, and the main condenser air discharge radiation monitoring systems are backed up by the stack gas monitoring system. The service water, radwaste liquid discharge, intermediate cooling, and decay heat radiation monitoring systems are backed up by the liquid discharge monitoring system.
- 2. System Description The process radiation monitoring systems are designed to assure that ionizing radiation levels are indicated, recorded, and alarmed so that action, either automatic or manual, can be taken to prevent radioactive releases from exceeding the limits of 10 CFR 20. Devices are located in the various process systems to monitor radiation levels and annunciate any abnormally high activity.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-4 All electronic circuitry (except for photomultipliers and geiger tubes) is solid state and each circuit has its own D.C. power supply and provisions for instrument operational testing while in service.
Most monitors are supplied with check sources. The check source simulates a radioactive sample and serves as a check for both the readout and detection equipment. The Control Room inlet air monitor is provided with a pulsed LED which provides an identical detector response as an isotopic check source and is used for the detector, preamplifier and readout equipment for this system.
Radiation monitoring equipment panels are located inside each Control Room. These panels provide mounting for indicators, recorders, power supplies, and alarms for the radiation monitoring systems. The radiation monitoring panels are fed by the instrument AC bus which, in the event of a loss of normal power, is fed by the diesel generator bus.
- 3. Testing and Maintenance Process radiation monitoring system instruments are tested as required by procedures using built-in or portable calibration sources.
Testing and maintenance for all systems and circuit testing of readout equipment and power supplies can be performed from the panels located in the Control Room. The circuit being tested or repaired indicates and alarms this condition in the Control Room. Faulty or inoperative circuits during operation are also alarmed and indicated in this manner.
- b. Area Radiation Monitoring Systems (Units 1 and 2)
- 1. Design Bases This system consists of monitors, instrumentation, and alarms that serve to warn plant personnel of set radiation levels in various plant areas. The area radiation monitoring systems serve as an early warning of a plant malfunction which may result in increasing radiation levels and in a health hazard. Area radiation monitoring system instruments and detectors (chosen for their proven reliability, spare parts and portability) are provided to permit operation during a long-term response.
- 2. System Description Continuous monitoring points are located in the Control Room and other normally nonradioactive areas and at the appropriate access control boundaries. The locations of area radiation monitors are provided in each unit's SAR.
Readout and display equipment for the area radiation monitoring system are located on a panel in the unit's Control Room. The area radiation monitoring panels receive power from the instrument AC bus, which is a vital bus.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-5 High range detectors (Geiger-Muller tubes) are located in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 containments. The detectors provide an indication of containment radiation levels up to 1 x 10 8 R/hr. The low-range area radiation monitors are wall-mounted, coaxial ion chambers or wall-mounted gamma sensitive Geiger-Muller tubes. The associated meters are designed with range and sensitivity suitable for their location. High radiation levels and individual circuit failures are alarmed both visually and audibly on the area radiation monitoring panel.
- 3. Testing and Maintenance Area radiation monitoring system instruments are tested as required by procedures using built-in or portable calibration sources.
Circuit testing of readout equipment and the power source can be performed from the Control Room. The circuit being tested or repaired is inoperative during this time and acts as a tripped channel. Check sources are used to calibrate the detectors and circuits.
- c. In-Plant Portable Survey and Monitoring Instruments Portable radiation survey instrumentation consists of different types of instruments, as described in the SAR, capable of detecting and measuring alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation. Continuous air monitors capable of monitoring particulate and iodine activity are available to identify airborne radioactivity. These monitors can be set to alarm on high particulate or iodine activity.
When continuous air monitors indicate airborne radioactivity, portable air samplers are used to obtain grab air samples for timely analysis of airborne conditions. These samplers can be equipped with filter cartridges for collecting gaseous and iodine airborne concentrations for analysis.
Gaseous activities of 1 x 10
-7 Ci/cc can be detected in low background areas.
- d. Laboratory Counting Equipment Laboratory counting equipment includes internal gas flow proportional counter scalers, thin window GM counter scalers, and gamma spectroscopy equipment.
2.2.4 Meteorological Instrumentation The plant has a permanent 60-meter high meteorological tower with redundant power supply, instrumentation and modes of data output. The tower instrumentation includes sensors to measure wind direction, wind speed, air temperature and differential temperatures. The wind and temperature sensors are located at the 10-meter and the 57-meter levels. Meteorological instrumentation is described in Section 2.3 of both the Unit 1 and Unit 2 SARs.
Forecasted wind speed and direction data may also be obtained from the National Weather Service by telephone as described in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-6 Real-time data is available by use of the RDACS computer. The offsite NRC Response Center may obtain these parameters by calling the Control Room or Emergency Operations Facility. Other offsite transmittal of data will be by radio or telephone circuits. Meteorological data is made available to State and local agencies through their dedicated communications network.
2.2.5 Water Analyses
Analyses of plant liquid systems may be performed to help ascertain the nature of problems detected by other instrumentation (prior to an emergency situation). The samples are collected and analyzed in accordance with ANO procedures. The analysis performed may include both standard chemistry (i.e., chlorides, boron, etc.) and radiochemistry.
2.2.6 Post Accident Sampling
Post-accident sampling via the Normal Sample System (NSS) provides the capability to obtain Reactor Coolant System (RCS) samples for isotopic determinations up to 5% clad failure. These analyses are primarily used to determine EAL criteria. Sampling above 5% clad failure may be performed but conditions and precautions will be assessed by Radiation Protection prior to sampling. The NSS has the capability of sampling the RCS from several RCS sample points.
2.2.7 Radiological Dose Assessment Computer System (RDACS)
The URI offsite dose projection software provides an initial estimate of the radiological conditions at the ANO Exclusion Area Boundary, provides information to determine the Emergency Action Level for subsequent classification into one of the four Emergency Classes, defines the offsite area(s) potentially affected by an airborne radiological release, provides an estimate of the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Child Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) doses, displays zones exceeding protective action guidelines, and refines projections based on available field monitoring data. This system meets the intent of 10 CFR 20 and Appendix I to 10 CFR 50.
2.2.8 Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS)
The function of the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) is to continuously provide concise displays of critical plant parameters to the control room operators to aid them in rapidly and reliably determining the safety status of the plant. The system is especially useful during abnormal and emergency conditions to assess whether the conditions warrant corrective action by the operators to avoid a degraded core. SPDS data display systems are also located in the Technical Support Center and in the Emergency Operations Facility.
2.2.9 Emergency Response Data System (ERDS)
The Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) is a channel over which raw reactor parametric data, i.e., SPDS information, is transmitted 24/7 from the site to the NRC Operations Center, (NRCOC) via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Transmission status review and/or activation of ERDS can be performed via designated computers in each Control Room, the TSC, EOF, and other designated offsite Entergy computers. ERDS transmission shall be verified and/or activated within one hour of an ALERT or higher emergency class declaration.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-7 2.3 RADIATION TEAM MONITORING
2.3.1 Operation of Monitoring Teams
The primary objective of the onsite and offsite emergency monitoring teams is to rapidly survey areas in order to determine the extent and magnitude of any unplanned release of radioactive material following an incident. The initial onsite and offsite surveys are of great importance; decisions regarding the extent and the type(s) of protective action(s) required are based upon data reported by the survey teams.
If it is determined that unplanned airborne materials have been released following an accident, monitoring teams are dispatched downwind immediately to evaluate radioactivity levels.
The task of each monitoring team is to collect air samples and survey data and transmit information and results to the appropriate response center (i.e., Control Room, TSC, OSC or EOF). Meteorological overlays, area maps, and actual radiation survey data collected by onsite and offsite survey teams are available for use to rapidly define affected areas and assess the extent and significance of the release. Information is required with as little delay as possible.
Therefore, surveys consist of simple methods and approximate results. Information obtained by the Offsite Monitoring Section is transmitted to the Dose Assessor , Radiological Assessment Coordinator (RAC), or their designees, as appropriate to the phase of the response, via radio contact. After the initial urgency of the post accident situation has relaxed, subsequent surveys are continued to obtain more accurate information.
2.3.2 Personnel
- a. Onsite Monitoring Section The Onsite Monitoring Section consists of members of the Emergency Radiation Team. Their activities are coordinated initially by the Shift Manager and then by the RAD Coordinator in the OSC. The Onsite Monitoring Team focuses their attention on obtaining onsite radiological data. Duties of the Onsite Monitoring Team are outlined in Section B.2.0.
- b. Offsite Monitoring Section The Offsite Monitoring Section consists of members of the Emergency Radiation Team and Chemistry. The Offsite Monitoring Section performs air sampling and measures radiation levels in the outlying areas of the plant site. Their activities are directed by the Offsite Team Coordinator. Survey results are forwarded to the Dose Assessor and the RAC. Duties of the Offsite Monitoring Section are further detailed in Section B.2.
ANO Chemistry personnel, accompanied by Emergency Radiation Team personnel, collect samples of water, vegetation, soil, and air and the environmental TLD's for analysis in accordance with ANO procedures.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 I-8 2.3.3 Equipment
Appendix 4 of this Plan lists the emergency kit contents and their locations.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures describe the equipment utilized by the monitoring teams in more detail. Portable equipment capable of measuring gaseous activities 1E-10 Ci/cc is included in field monitoring kits.
3.0 ASSESSMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL RELEASES
3.1 METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
Systems, equipment, instruments, and personnel resources available to the Initial Response Staff, and Emergency Response Organization allow for continuous monitoring and assessment of abnormal radiological conditions. Assessment of radioactivity released to the environs provides the information necessary to determine which, if any, offsite protective actions should be recommended to the State authorities. These recommendations are made in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The methods and calculations prepared for the assessment of radioactivity released to the environs are discussed in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-1 J PROTECTIVE RESPONSE 1.0 PROTECTIVE RESPONSE FOR ONSITE PERSONNEL
1.1 NOTIFICATION Onsite personnel are notified of a nuclear emergency via the ANO Public Address System. The Shift Manager/ED, or his designee, will announce the emergency classification and any other pertinent information. The announcements to be made are identified in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and/or Operations procedures.
Persons within the protected area are notified of plant emergency status via the Public Address System. Notification to persons within the exclusion area is accomplished by Security.
Evacuation of non-essential personnel within the exclusion area may be initiated for a Site Area Emergency and will be initiated for a General Emergency in accordance with EPIPs. The sounding of the plant evacuation alarm occurs for both classifications.
1.2 LOCALIZED EVACUATION
A Localized Evacuation is initiated if any condition exists that, in the opinion of the Shift Manager or Emergency Plant Manager (EPM), may pose a threat to the health and safety of plant workers. The threat must be confined to a localized area (i.e., the area selected for evacuation should have well-defined boundaries and be easily controllable).
1.3 PLANT EVACUATION
A Plant Evacuation is performed for non-essential personnel if a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency is declared. However, certain conditions may preclude or delay plant evacuation. These conditions may include an ongoing security threat within the protected area, inclement weather, or a radiological or hazardous material condition. A plant evacuation may be considered if RP survey results indicate that the general area radiation levels outside of a Radiologically Controlled Area exceed 2.5 mR/hr, which is attributed to a loss of control of radioactive material and the hazard is not confined to a well-defined area. If air sample results indicate unevaluated airborne radioactivity exceeds 9 x 10
-10 µCi/cc, which is attributed to a loss of control of radioactive material and the threat cannot be confined to a well-defined area. If certain security threats indicate the need to evacuate, or if an uncontrolled toxic gas leak occurs where the hazard is not confined to a local area. The decision to evacuate is based upon the action that presents the least risk to non-essential personnel.
Upon verification that conditions warrant a Plant Evacuation, the Shift Manager or EPM immediately notifies plant emergency teams to assemble. The Shift Manager or EPM alternates an evacuation announcement over the public address system and the sounding of the Plant Evacuation Alarm several times. The evacuation announcement includes instructions concerning the appropriate assembly area, the evacuation route(s), and any other special protective measures to be taken by plant evacuees. Appropriate actions are described in detail in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The following personnel actions are taken if a Plant Evacuation is declared:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-2 1.3.1 Visitors, Contractor and Construction Personnel, and Employees Not Assigned a Role in the Emergency Organization These personnel proceed to the Primary Access Point (PAP) by the most direct, safest route.
Personnel accountability and preliminary monitoring is accomplished as personnel pass through the PAP. These personnel then proceed as directed. As required, additional personnel monitoring, decontamination, and debriefing may be performed at the EOF, GSB (security threats only), or the Atkins Emergency Worker Center.
1.3.2 Personnel Assigned a Role in the Emergency Organization
These personnel proceed to their assigned emergency response location unless directed otherwise (security threat). If conditions require that the Technical Support Center or Operational Support Center be evacuated, these personnel relocate to the EOF.
1.3.3 Shift Personnel
Shift operations personnel on duty report to the Control Room. Other shift personnel proceed to the OSC assembly area unless otherwise directed.
1.4 EXCLUSION AREA EVACUATION
An Exclusion Area Evacuation, which is the orderly withdrawal of all personnel from that portion of the exclusion area affected by the emergency, is initiated if it is determined that area radiation levels greater than 2.5 mR/hr exist outside the Protected Area and within the Exclusion Area boundary.
The following personnel actions are taken in the event of an Exclusion Area Evacuation:
- a. When notified that an Exclusion Area Evacuation has been declared, Security personnel take action according to established procedures to verify that an orderly, safe withdrawal of personnel within the affected portion of the Exclusion Area takes place. Security personnel are responsible for personnel notification and accountability within the Exclusion Area. Under most conditions, the Exclusion Area can be evacuated/verified within one hour of the declaration of an evacuation. Thereafter, Security patrols the Exclusion Area every two hours to notify anyone found within the
area to leave.
- b. Personnel evacuating from the affected areas of the Exclusion Area follow designated evacuation routes under the supervision of Security personnel while on site. Once offsite, personnel proceed as directed by State and local authorities. Portable loudspeakers and the Arkansas Nuclear One boat are used by Security, as required, to direct the evacuation of the Exclusion Area. Evacuees use any available means of transportation and proceed as directed by the evacuation announcement.
1.5 EOF EVACUATION
An EOF Evacuation is initiated if any condition exists which, in the opinion of the Emergency Director, poses a threat to the health and safety of emergency response personnel at the EOF.
EOF emergency response personnel relocate to the Alternate EOF in the Entergy Arkansas, Inc. Russellville Service Center, if conditions allow.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-3 1.6 SECURITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
1.6.1 Security
A range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the Emergency Plan.
The Security program at ANO is designed to deter, delay, and detect an intruder. The Protected Area of the plant site is enclosed by a security fence. All gates to the fence are normally kept locked. The Protected Area is surrounded by a Security Owner Controlled Area (SOCA) created by vehicle barrier systems and detection equipment. Security procedures outline the emergency evacuation duties of security personnel. Support group personnel reporting to the plant during an emergency assemble as discussed in security procedures unless instructed otherwise. Personnel assigned by the Shift Manager, Emergency Plant Manager (EPM), or Emergency Director (ED) to enter the plant must pass through the SOCA and PAP, which are guarded, unless instructed otherwise by Security. It is extremely unlikely that any unauthorized person would be able to enter the site undetected even during an emergency condition.
1.6.2 Accountability
A record of Arkansas Nuclear One personnel and visitors on site is available at the PAP for use in personnel accountability. Security procedures have been developed to ensure that on-site personnel are accounted for in the event of an emergency. If necessary, initial accountability may be performed at any time. It is ANO's goal to achieve initial accountability within 30 minutes of the declaration of a Site Area or General Emergency, or plant evacuation. In the event of an emergency requiring evacuation of the PAP, the personnel accountability records are transferred to the EOF and/or GSB (security threat).
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are used to account for personnel during an evacuation. Personnel exiting the site log out through the security card reader or as directed by site Security and/or the Shift Manager/EPM. Names of evacuating persons who do not have permanent security badges are obtained. Emergency Response Organization personnel remaining on-site scan in at designated card readers for accountability purposes, except for Control Room personnel who are accounted for each time they enter the Control Room. Security personnel then request a computer print-out of any personnel who failed to either log off-site or log on-site for accountability purposes. Search and rescue efforts are then initiated for these individuals.
Following a plant evacuation, continuous accountability is maintained for all persons remaining on-site.
Assembly/Accountability may be delayed in the event of a Hostile Action Based Event.
Reentry into the plant is made under an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure related to personnel rescue or reentry to evacuated areas.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-4 1.7 PROTECTIVE MEASURES
1.7.1 Whole Body Exposure
It is the policy at ANO to maintain personnel radiation exposure at levels which are as low as is reasonably achievable and in compliance with NRC regulations. Personnel entering the evacuated area(s) to conduct investigations are supplied with appropriate monitoring devices, and every effort is made to keep their doses within the limits of 10 CFR 20. Reentry is made in accordance with an Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure.
Individuals entering Radiologically Controlled Areas wear personnel monitoring devices capable of measuring the dose received from external sources of ionizing radiation. The official and permanent record of accumulated deep dose equivalent is normally obtained from a DLR badge. The self-reading dosimeter provides a day to day indication of deep dose equivalent.
Additional personnel monitoring equipment is available in the emergency kits as identified in Appendix 4.
1.7.2 Clothing
Protective clothing is a normal use item for work in a contaminated area at Arkansas Nuclear One. Both washable and disposable protective clothing are available. Sets of protective clothing are available in the following emergency kits as described in Appendix 4: Control Room Kit, Onsite Radiological Monitoring Kit, EOF Kit, TSC Kit, and Saint Mary's Hospital Kit.
Protective clothing is available in the Auxiliary Building. Waterproof protective clothing is also
available.
1.7.3 Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection devices may be required in any situation arising from plant operations where an airborne radioactivity condition exists or potentially exists. In such cases, the air is monitored and the necessary protective devices specified according to the concentration and type of airborne contaminants present. During an emergency, monitoring is conducted in accordance with RP Procedures. Precautions are taken to keep airborne contamination to a minimum through the use of proper ventilation and prior decontamination of equipment or work
areas.
Listed below are the types of respiratory protection equipment available:
- a. Full face and demand type respirator
- b. Pressure demand Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-5 Normally, SCBAs are issued at the Controlled Access entry. The following is a listing of the emergency kits containing SCBAs:
Emergency Kit Control Room Kit Onsite Radiological Monitoring Kit Alternate Fire Brigade Ready Room RCA Fire Locker Fire Brigade Ready Room Emergency Operations Facility 1.7.4 Radioprotective Drugs
Radioprotective drugs in the form of potassium iodide (KI) tablets are available in the onsite Radiological Monitoring Kit, TSC Kit, EOF Kit and in the Field Monitoring Kits. The use of potassium iodide is in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
1.7.5 Contamination Controls
Section K of this Plan outlines the radiological exposure controls implemented at ANO. Contamination control, personnel monitoring, and decontamination are detailed in Sections K.2.2 and K.3.1.
2.0 PROTECTIVE RESPONSE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE PLUME EXPOSURE PATHWAY 2.1 PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1.1 ANO Guidelines Arkansas Nuclear One is designed and equipped with a series of safety systems engineered to meet 10 CFR 100 criteria for reactor safety. ANO management recognizes that in any accident situation, it would be prudent and logical to make every effort to further reduce and minimize dose to the public.
The protective action guides for the general population for thyroid dose due to inhalation from a passing plume and whole body exposure to airborne radioactive material, as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are listed below:
Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) 1 Rem Child Thyroid Dose (CDE) 5 Rem
2.1.2 Initiation of Recommendation Recommendations originate from the Control Room or Emergency Operations Facility based upon data derived from implementing procedures relating to offsite dose assessment. The procedures establish methods for determining projected dose to the population at risk. Total population exposure is estimated in accordance with Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-6 Recommendations are made in accordance with agreements with the Arkansas Department of Health. Whenever possible, the message formats provided in procedures are utilized. The implementing procedures relating to Protective Action Guidelines assure that the recommendations are determined through an approved process. Offsite Protective Action Recommendations are approved by the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control.
2.1.3 Population Distribution This Emergency Plan is primarily applicable to the Arkansas Nuclear One Exclusion Area and the Emergency Planning Zones within a 10-mile and 50-mile radius of Arkansas Nuclear One as shown on Figures J-1, J-2, and J-3, respectively, although provisions exist for extending these areas in the unlikely event this coverage is necessary. Figure J-2 is divided into sixteen 221/2-degree sectors and ten lettered radial zones at one-mile radii from the center of the plant in order to identify the area surrounding the plant by sector and zone nomenclature. Figure J-4 depicts the location of the Arkansas Nuclear One Emergency Operations Facility and the site evacuation routes. The location of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) in the area surrounding the plant is provided in Figure J-5.
2.2 NOTIFICATION
If public notification is required, both transient and resident populations within the plume exposure pathway are initially notified through the Early Warning System (reference Section E 3.0). Additional notification and information is provided to the transient and resident population as well as the general public outside the 10-mile EPZ by local radio stations. Supplemental notification to the EPZ population is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ. Also, in the event of siren or NOAA radio system failures, route alerting is provided by local fire departments in the EPZ.
Emergency Instruction Brochures describing notification, protective actions, and general radiological education are provided by mail to residents and businesses, and by posting in public areas to transients within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. State and local government officials issue messages describing the incident and recommended public protective actions. Examples of these messages are provided in Appendix 6.
2.3 EVACUATION
The Arkansas Department of Health is responsible for the recommendation of protective actions for offsite areas and notification of State and local assistance agencies. State officials consider the potential risks of implementing protective actions against the reduction of radiological risk
achieved by the protective action.
The State of Arkansas Department of Health determined in conjunction with local officials that, based on the existing local warning and notification systems, experience in actual evacuation situations, and ambulance response times, the offsite area within distances up to ten (10) miles of Arkansas Nuclear One could be evacuated within the estimated evacuation times indicated in Table J-1. Population distribution by evacuation zone is shown on Figure J-6.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 J-7 A formal evacuation time estimate was completed in December of 2012. The results of this study are contained in Appendix 5.
Under these estimates and other considerations involved in the protection of the public, the State of Arkansas has developed protective action guides for the public which are included in the State Emergency Operations Plan and are summarized below:
A variety of parameters, including plant conditions and actual offsite doses, may result in a recommendation to evacuate all or part of the EPZ. (Based upon an evaluation of the potential risks of evacuation versus the reduction of radiological risk achieved by the evacuation, some institutional groups may be recommended to shelter personnel and/or use radioprotective drugs.)
Further protective action is recommended based upon an evaluation of data received from field radiological assessment teams.
Offsite protective actions may be appropriate for emergency situations which fall in the Site Area Emergency or General Emergency Classes. In order that the public may be in a state of readiness for any necessary action, an Early Warning System has been installed and may be activated at any Emergency Class as determined appropriate by the State. The Early Warning System is described in Section E.
2.4 SHELTERING / STAY INDOORS
Under certain conditions, sheltering may be the preferred recommended action. As discussed in the ANO Emergency Instruction Brochure, sheltering involves remaining inside with windows and doors closed and sources of outside air turned off. Limited radioactive releases may require this type of action.
Members of the public may also be requested to "stay indoors". Staying indoors is similar to sheltering except there is no need to close windows and doors and secure sources of outside
air. Area radio stations advise the public on taking these actions and also give the "all clear" signal
when appropriate.
2.5 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING In the event of an emergency, permanent air sampling stations are utilized for long-term evaluation concerning airborne releases. Environmental TLDs located at the background radiation stations, as shown on Figure J-5, provide exposure data and are periodically replaced. Sampling efforts may be combined with emergency team activities.
Figures J-2 and J-7 show pre-selected radiological field monitoring points within the 10-mile EPZ.

Description:
Version 5 edits from Bob Fowler BY CHKNOTES ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 K-1 K RADIOLOGICAL DOSE CONTROL 1.0 DOSE GUIDELINES
Radiation dose control is of utmost importance at Arkansas Nuclear One. Therefore, it is deemed appropriate that detailed radiation protection measures be established and utilized. These measures are included in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Radiation Protection Procedures, as appropriate. A description of applicable radiation control measures follows.
1.1 DOSE LIMITS
ANO Radiation Protection Procedures provide the specific actions undertaken to determine and record individual occupational doses on a 24-hour per day basis. These procedures state that each emergency responder entering a radiologically controlled area shall be issued appropriate personnel monitoring devices consisting of one or more of the following types: dosimeter of legal record (DLR), self-reading pocket dosimeter, neutron badges and extremity dosimetry devices. The TSC Radiological Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that all personnel (employees, vendors, contractors, and visitors) are appropriately monitored for exposure to ionizing radiation at ANO.
Allowable emergency doses and accidental doses to individuals have been established. Table K-1 outlines ANO's permissible emergency dose limits. Restrictions to further exposure are placed on exposed individuals, if necessary.
To determine accumulative doses, any DLRs of individuals exposed to radiation prior to the event are read and added to the emergency events doses promptly.
In all cases and events, administrative control and restriction of dose to radiation is monitored by the TSC Radiological Coordinator and the Radiation Protection staff.
EPA-400, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents," Table 2.2, is used to establish additional dose guidelines for life saving actions and protection of property. These guidelines are described in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.
All requests for increasing radiation doses for emergency workers above administrative limits are directed to the Shift Manager, EPM or ED. These individuals have the authority in emergency situations to authorize emergency workers to receive doses in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits. After ERO activation, the EPM will typically assume the responsibility for approving on-site personnel doses exceeding 10 CFR 20 limits and the ED will typically assume the responsibility for approving off-site ERO personnel doses exceeding 10 CFR 20 limits.
1.2 PERSONNEL DOSIMETRY The capability to determine radiation dose to emergency response personnel is available twenty-four hours per day. Dosimetry personnel issue DLRs and dosimeters, maintain DLR and dosimeter logs, and keep the TSC Radiological Coordinator informed of personnel doses.
The self-reading dosimeters are read by the Radiation Protection staff upon entry and exit from radiologically controlled areas and recorded for each individual. The permanent DLR is read, as necessary, in order to establish dose trends and control individual dose.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 K-2 2.0 CONTAMINATION CONTROL 2.1 AREA ACCESS
Controls have been established at ANO to ensure that there is no detectable fixed or removable contamination (beta-gamma or alpha) outside of the Controlled Access Area under normal and emergency conditions. All personnel and equipment leaving the Controlled Access Area are monitored to ensure that the limits for contamination levels are met.
Contamination control actions for off-site areas are planned for the Emergency Planning Zones with provisions to extend the actions to areas beyond this limit if necessary. These contamination control actions are described in the State Emergency Operations Plan.
2.2. PERSONNEL 2.2.1 Under Normal Conditions
Personnel working practices within the Controlled Access Area are controlled by Radiation Protection personnel. Radiation Work Permits are required by all personnel working in the Controlled Access Area. Specific instructions, precautions, and limitations are listed on the work permits.
Individuals leaving radiologically controlled areas are monitored for contamination before entering the uncontrolled area of the plant. Personnel are again monitored as they pass through the portal monitor before leaving the Protected Area, thus making it unlikely that a contaminated person could leave the site undetected.
2.2.2 Under Emergency Conditions
Under certain emergency conditions (e.g., security-related evacuations) personnel monitoring may be relaxed at the determined plant exit point(s) in order to reduce personal harm to plant personnel. However, these personnel will be monitored at external designated assembly areas in accordance with established procedures.
In the event of personnel contamination, Radiation Protection procedures are implemented. These procedures detail methods for contamination removal from wounds, the whole body, hair, nostrils, and under fingernails. Wounds, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are treated with utmost care to prevent internal deposition and infections. The procedures list supplies for decontamination; however, decontamination is accomplished by use of soap and water unless use of another agent is approved by the TSC Radiological Coordinator, or his designee.
All decontaminations are recorded and, if not effective or if sickness and/or wounds are involved, personnel are taken to the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center. Further decontamination is carried out at the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center. The types of supplies and detection instrumentation maintained by ANO at the hospital are listed in Appendix 4. Certain agents such as titanium dioxide, EDTA cream, surgical soap, and potassium permanganate solution are common hospital supplies and are not listed. Radiation Protection personnel assist hospital personnel in surveying the patient and in contamination control. Hospital radiological department facilities for waste disposal are used.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 K-3 If an accident occurs in a radiologically controlled area, and the patient requires medical aid, he is checked for contamination. If contamination levels are found to be below the levels for personnel contamination, the patient is taken to the Nurse's Station for treatment. If additional treatment is necessary, the Shift Manager may call the Pope County Emergency Medical Service for transportation to the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center. If the patient is contaminated to unacceptable levels, reasonable efforts are made to decontaminate him. If this cannot be done due to the nature of the injury or hospitalization is immediately necessary, medical treatment and transportation to a hospital takes priority over decontamination activities. The injured individual is placed in clean protective clothing or wrapped, if time allows, to minimize the spread of contamination. A person trained in Radiation Protection accompanies the patient.
When the patient arrives at the hospital, the hospital staff follows their procedure to handle this type of patient. Radiation Protection personnel conduct surveys to ensure that contamination levels are kept to a minimum and control contamination until clean-up has been satisfactorily completed.
Contaminated personal items are confiscated if successful decontamination cannot be
completed.
The Emergency Radiation Team performs radiological surveys and establishes Radiologically Controlled Area boundaries. The criteria for boundary placement are found in the Radiation Protection Implementing procedures. Controls normally include use of a personnel entry log, a frisking station, and air sampling. The establishment of such areas control and contain
contamination.
Decontaminated items and areas must meet radiological release criteria before being released from Radiation Protection control.
2.3 WATER AND FOOD SUPPLY
2.3.1 Onsite Supplies Radiological surveys of the emergency response facilities and the designated assembly area are performed on a frequent basis. Potable water for ANO is obtained from the Russellville Water Supply. It is unlikely that any airborne release of radioactive material could affect this supply. A minimum storage of bottled water and MREs (meals ready to eat) are staged onsite for use by ERO and support personnel during extended emergency event staffing. Contaminated areas are posted as described in Section K.3.2. Drinking, eating, and smoking are prohibited in radiologically controlled areas.
2.3.2 Offsite Supplies
Surface water samples from Lake Dardanelle upstream and downstream of the plant discharge and at the intake to the Russellville water supplies on the Illinois Bayou are analyzed for gross activity. Samples of vegetation and milk (if active dairies in the 10-mile EPZ - see ODCM) are also analyzed as part of the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program. In the event of an airborne release of radioactive materials, samples are collected and analyzed. Results are provided to the Arkansas Department of Health for appropriate protective action.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 K-4 2.4 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
All tools and equipment used in radiologically controlled areas are checked for contamination before being taken from these areas. If the item is found to be contaminated and decontamination is not practical, the item remains in the radiologically controlled area.
Equipment and tools are unconditionally released for use outside of the radiologically controlled areas only if they meet radiological release criteria.
2.4.1 Site Equipment Contamination Control Equipment, such as vehicles, normally stored outside the plant buildings are surveyed for contamination. Normal decontamination procedures of wiping, vacuuming or water spray are performed, dependent on the magnitude and type of the contaminant.
Vehicles leaving the site are monitored and decontaminated. Emergency vehicles on lifesaving missions are not delayed for decontamination when leaving the site.
Large equipment on site which is contaminated, but not required for emergency recovery, is normally covered with plastic film to contain loose contamination.
2.4.2 Plant Equipment Contamination Control
Small contaminated tools and equipment are wrapped in plastic and stored in radiologically controlled areas of the plant until decontaminated.
Large equipment outside radiologically controlled areas is covered with plastic film and decontaminated by methods described in radiation control procedures.
Large equipment inside radiologically controlled areas of the plant is normally located within rooms. Access and ventilation to these rooms are individually controlled. Contaminated plant equipment is decontaminated and/or controlled by methods described in radiation control procedures.
3.0 DECONTAMINATION
3.1 PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION 3.1.1 Decontamination Facilities
Contaminated personnel are dressed in clean protective clothing to contain the contamination and transferred to the decontamination area to be decontaminated in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures. Normal personnel decontamination is accomplished in the Controlled Access Area exit Control Point decontamination area. All drains lead to the Radwaste System where the liquid is processed and monitored prior to discharge. The domestic fresh water system supplies water to all the restrooms and showers. During a plant evacuation, personnel decontamination can be performed at the Emergency Operations Facility. A decontamination shower and supplies for decontamination of personnel are maintained at the EOF.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 K-5 3.1.2 Decontamination Process
Personnel decontamination is conducted by members of the Radiation Protection staff, under the direction of the TSC Radiological Coordinator. Decontamination is conducted in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures.
3.2 AREA DECONTAMINATION
Area decontamination is performed in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures.
3.2.1 Clean Areas
For areas outside of the radiologically controlled areas, surface contamination is kept below the following:
- a. Removable and Fixed Contamination Beta-Gamma or Alpha In accordance with Radiation Protection Implementing Procedures.
3.2.2 Contamination Areas Contamination Areas are defined in Radiation Protection procedures. Contamination areas have been divided into categories where the degree of contamination control requires changes with the level of contamination present.
3.2.3 Priorities for Area Decontamination
Priorities for area decontamination are determined by the Emergency Plant Manager or the
Emergency Director.
4.0 WASTE DISPOSAL UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
Liquid and gaseous wastes are processed using normal methods during emergency conditions.
Emergency conditions may, however, require that additional resources of processing and disposal of waste be obtained.
A Process Control Program (PCP) is used at Arkansas Nuclear One to ensure that radioactive waste management results in solid waste products meeting the criteria contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, state regulations, off-site processing facility criteria and radioactive waste burial site license criteria for solid radiological waste shipment, processing and disposal.
In order to minimize the possibility of an accident involving radioactive waste occurring in an uncontrolled area, radioactive wastes are packaged and stored in a facility designed to prevent radiological releases to the environment. The waste is prepared, loaded and shipped to an offsite processor or a federal or state licensed radioactive waste disposal facility (burial site) in accordance with Arkansas Nuclear One approved procedures and/or qualified vendor procedures which have been approved by Arkansas Nuclear One. These procedures provide specific instructions which ensure the shipments meet the processor or intended burial site license requirements as well as applicable federal and state regulations.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 L-1 L MEDICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPORT 1.0 ONSITE FIRST AID
Arkansas Nuclear One maintains first aid kits for minor treatment of injured individuals, showers for decontaminating personnel, and a whole body counter. A decontamination shower and supplies for decontamination of personnel are also maintained at the Emergency Operations Facility.
2.0 MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION
Pope County Emergency Medical Services provides ambulances as required. Radio communications between Pope County Emergency Medical Services and the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center are available via a private radio frequency. Members of the Emergency Radiation Team accompany contaminated personnel off site. Special effort is made to minimize radiological contamination of the ambulances.
3.0 OFFSITE MEDICAL FACILITIES
3.1 MEDICAL SERVICES PERSONNEL
Local physicians have been retained to provide medical consultants for Arkansas Nuclear One. These physicians have received training in the treatment of patients that are contaminated and/or overexposed to radiation. These physicians treat contaminated, injured personnel from Arkansas Nuclear One. These physicians practice at the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center.
3.2 SAINT MARY'S REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER
The Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center has facilities to treat individuals who are contaminated with radioactive material. Agreements are established between the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, the consulting physicians, and Arkansas Nuclear One for the treatment of contaminated individuals at the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center. Individuals may be transferred to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Hospital for further tests, examination, or treatment, as required, if they:
- a. have received an overexposure to radiation sufficient to warrant special treatment or observation;
- b. have, or are suspected of having, inhaled or ingested significant quantities of radioactive materials; and/or
- c. cannot be readily decontaminated at the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center.
Appendix 4 lists types of emergency supplies that are maintained at the Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center by Arkansas Nuclear One. These supplies are checked on a routine basis by Arkansas Nuclear One and/or medical facility personnel.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 L-2 3.3 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES HOSPITAL
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Hospital provides medical treatment for radiologically contaminated and/or overexposed patients.
3.4 OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITY MEDICAL DIVISION
The Oak Ridge Associated University Medical Division assists in the treatment of radiologically overexposed patients, if required.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 M-1 M RECOVERY AND REENTRY PLANNING AND POST ACCIDENT OPERATIONS 1.0 ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND
The Emergency Response Organization (ERO) is responsible for the overall coordination and management of the recovery effort and for the technical and administrative services, design work, scheduling, planning, quality control/assurance, construction, and vendor support necessary during the initial stages of the recovery phase. The individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control has full authority to take immediate and decisive actions to mitigate the consequences of any nuclear emergency and for protection of the health and safety of the public. The Emergency Response Organization's effort during emergencies is viewed as a long-term effort requiring the ERO to be present 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day. The Initial Response Staff (IRS), in contrast, functions as the immediate response organization for emergencies. The IRS provides required immediate response actions and radiological controls; and compiles technical data for its own use and for review by the ERO. From the point of initiation of an emergency classification until the ERO is fully operational, the IRS provides direction and assistance for all emergencies.
The ERO is composed of, or can incorporate as needed, all the necessary technical, administrative, managerial, and support personnel that may be required for an emergency as illustrated on Figures B-4 through B-12 of Section B. The organization is capable of 24-hour-a-day sustained operation. For each job title shown on Figures B-5, B-6, B-7 and B-12, there are at least three personnel assigned to fill that position, which facilitates the 24-hour-a-day operational capability.
The Emergency Director makes the decision to proceed from the emergency phase to the recovery phase. The Emergency Response Organization's responsibilities extend into the recovery phase until a decision is made by ERO managers that plant parameters and other pertinent criteria allow deactivation of the ERO and return to the normal plant and corporate organization.
The Emergency Director makes the decision to relax/curtail duties of the ERO personnel. This decision is based on input from ERO managers and advisors and includes, at a minimum, the following criteria:
- a. Stable reactor shutdown with direction toward a cold shutdown condition.
- b. Containment Building integrity.
- c. Availability of an operational heat sink.
- d. Operability of instrumentation and control equipment needed to maintain the reactor in a safe condition.
The duties of the ERO may be curtailed, as appropriate, by the Emergency Director to provide the recovery assistance necessary to support the normal plant staff or the ERO may be deactivated by the Emergency Director and responsibility for long-term recovery activities assumed by the normal corporate and plant staff. At the time the ERO is deactivated, ANO management or the Emergency Director may form special groups/ task forces to handle specialized recovery operations.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 M-2 Decisions to relax protective actions for the public are made by the appropriate State and local officials. The Emergency Director advises the State Technical Operations Control Director (TOCD) and the NRC when the plant has returned to a safer mode and suggests that the response be downgraded or terminated and recovery actions initiated if necessary. Recovery actions and procedures are developed as required considering maximum protection for plant personnel and the public.
After ERO deactivation, the organization performing recovery activities follows the ANO normal corporate organization structure as shown in Figure M-1. The ANO corporate positions indicated in Figure M-1 have been assigned recovery responsibilities as described in the following sections.
2.0 ORGANIZATIONAL ARRANGEMENT, ASSIGNMENT, AND RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 SITE VICE PRESIDENT The Site Vice President provides overall management and direction of the ANO resources utilized for recovery, provides corporate level guidance, provides licensing support, and provides coordination with other Entergy Operations Divisions. If the recovery phase is expected to be a long-term process, he may form a team to be responsible for continuous control of the recovery operation thus permitting other personnel to return to their normal duties. The organizational structure of such a team is contingent on the emergency situation and the procedures required for recovery.
2.2 GENERAL MANAGER, PLANT OPERATIONS
The General Manager, Plant Operations is responsible for the site recovery effort and security support. He may request any needed offsite support through the Site Vice President and is responsible for developing required recovery procedures dictated by the type of incident.
The General Manager, Plant Operations also provides for Radiation Protection, Radwaste, and Chemistry support and ensures that area sampling programs are developed for continued sampling until radiation effects of the emergency have been analyzed and an agreement has been reached between Entergy Operations, the State of Arkansas, and local governments that continued special sampling is no longer required. Once the recovery phase is entered, the General Manager, Plant Operations updates estimates of the total population exposure received in the 10-mile EPZ as more current radiological data becomes available.
2.3 DIRECTOR, ENGINEERING
The Director, Engineering is responsible for reactor, performance, and system design engineering activities required for the safe and efficient recovery of the plant. These activities include resolving all plant-related engineering issues that do not alter the design basis of the plant.
2.4 MANAGER, OPERATIONS
The Sr. Manager, Operations provides assistance and technical services to the General Manager, Plant Operations in the area of plant operations and maintenance.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 M-3 2.5 OTHER ENTERGY OPERATIONS RESOURCES
All other Entergy Operations resources plus other governmental and vendor support are available through the Entergy Operations Corporate Emergency Center to aid the Site Vice President in developing, evaluating, and implementing specific recovery and reentry operations.
2.6 POST ACCIDENT RECOVERY MEASURES
Major post-accident recovery measures are performed in accordance with applicable Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures and Emergency Operating Procedures. Other procedures which may be developed following an incident include the following activities:
- 1. The first auxiliary building entry.
- 2. The first containment building entry.
- 3. Damage evaluation.
- 4. Facility Decontamination.
- 5. Disposal of radioactive material.
Recovery coordination is provided from the Emergency Operations Facility or normal staff offices according to the status of the ERO. A description of the EOF is provided in Section H and in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. The communications equipment available in this facility is described in Section F and shown in Table F-1 of this Plan.
2.7 POST ACCIDENT REPORTING
An Emergency Class is closed out with a verbal and written summary to offsite authorities in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 and ANO EPIPs. A LER may serve as a written summary.
If a release of radioactive material occurred during the emergency, ANO personnel, in cooperation with ADH personnel, develop a report estimating the total radiation exposure to the population affected by the release.
3.0 REENTRY
3.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of a reentry plan is to provide a means to regain access to an onsite or offsite area that was previously made inaccessible due to an emergency situation.
3.2 AUTHORITY
The individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control authorizes reentry into a previously evacuated onsite area. In the event the ERO is deactivated, the Site Vice President has the responsibility for authorizing reent ry into a previously evacuated area.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 M-4 3.3 IMPLEMENTING ORGANIZATION
The implementation of the reentry plan is carried out by the ERO depicted in Figure B-6 or the normal ANO organization shown in Figure M-1 and discussed in Section M.2. These organizations have access to all information, documents, equipment, and personnel required to support a reentry effort. Actual reentry is accomplished by recovery personnel under the control of the Emergency Plant Manager and/or the Emergency Director.
3.4 REENTRY - EMERGENCY RADIATION EXPOSURE DOSE JUSTIFICATION
Although every effort is made to keep dose as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA), it is understood that there are emergency situations which transcend the normal requirements for limiting dose. When such situations exist, the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control makes the determination as to the amount of radiation exposure that will be permitted based on the guidelines set forth below.
3.5 REENTRY GUIDELINES
Reentry into an evacuated area may be required for one or more of the following reasons:
- a. To ascertain that all personnel who were in the affected area have been evacuated and, if necessary, to search for unaccounted personnel;
- b. To rescue any injured or trapped personnel from the affected area;
- c. To perform operations which may decrease the effect of the emergency or hazardous condition; and/or
- d. To determine the nature and extent of the emergency and/or radiological conditions.
Reentry operations take place only on the authority of the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control who selects individuals that are familiar with radiation protection, first aid, operation, or maintenance for specialized recovery groups. The initial entry of these groups, and all subsequent entries until radiation areas have been properly marked, are under the direction of the TSC Radiological Coordinator. Recovery personnel are briefed regarding their duties and the actions they are to perform while in the area. They are also briefed as to the expected dose rates, stay time, and other hazards. Information for these briefings is obtained from the applicable available sources including interviews with evacuated employees, current operating records, surveys conducted by the Emergency Radiation Team, and Company technical support personnel.
Even under emergency conditions, it is not desirable to exceed the limits of 10 CFR 20.
Guidelines in the Emergency Plan Implementi ng Procedures, however, permit the individual with Emergency Direction and Control to authorize exceeding those limits under conditions where the mission is to search for and remove injured personnel, prevent conditions that may endanger human life or safety, protect the facilities, eliminate further escape of effluents, or
control fires.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 M-5 Recovery personnel perform their duties in the most safe and efficient manner possible. Once their operations have been completed, the recovery personnel follow self-monitoring and personnel decontamination procedures as spec ified by the TSC Radiological Coordinator.
All questions which relate to exceeding occupational dose limits are directed to the individual responsible for Emergency Direction and Control.

This Off-Hours Drill can be accomplished by using the ERO Notification (ERON) system. This type of drill may be performed more frequently.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 N-3 An Off-Hours Augmentation Unannounced Drill is also conducted in accordance with EP Implementing Procedures to test the ERON system and to ensure that the ERO can activate and staff facilities in a timely manner. This drill is performed using the ERON system and requires a call-in response from ERO and ERO support personnel.
3.0 SCENARIOS Scenario development for drills and the biennial exercise is the responsibility of the Emergency Planning Manager. Input from major Federal, State and local agencies, as well as the ANO staff, is required in order to define the objectives to be accomplished in graded exercises. The scenario for drills and exercises is then prepared which may include but is not limited to:
- a. the basic objective of the drill or exercise; b. the participating organizations for the drill or exercise;
- c. a chronology of the simulated unusual events; d. a time schedule of real and simulated initiating events; e. a narrative summary describing the simulated events and the appropriate responses and actions; and f. arrangements for qualified controllers and evaluators.
Preparation of the scenario includes identifying Control Room alarms, sequence of alarms, and instrument readings required to initiate the essential components of the exercise.
Only officials of Federal, State, and local support agencies involved in scenario development or designated as scenario controllers/evaluators share scenario information in advance of the exercises. Limited distribution of scenario information allows effective participation by observers/controllers without losing confidentiality of exercise information.
4.0 CRITIQUES
In addition to the ANO observers, offsite support agencies provide evaluators for the biennial exercise. Evaluators are given information on the accident scenario prior to the exercise so that they may judge participants effectively.
A critique is scheduled at the conclusion of the exercise to evaluate the ability of organizations to respond as called for in the Emergency Plan. The critique is conducted as soon as practical after the exercise, and a formal evaluation should result from the critique.
The Manager, Emergency Planning is responsible for reviewing the results from the final drill/exercise critique meeting and proposing corrective action to the General Manager, Plant Operations and the Site Vice President. The General Manager, Plant Operations and the Site Vice President are responsible for assuring that appropriate corrective action is taken to improve emergency preparedness.
Remedial exercises are required by the NRC if the emergency plan is not satisfactorily tested during the biennial exercise.

APPENDIX 5 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
OF THE EVACUATION TIME ESTIMATE FOR ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE DECEMBER 2012
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 5-1 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
(The complete Evacuation Time Estimate Study can be obtain from Emergency Planning)
This report describes the analyses undertaken and the results obtained by a study to develop Evacuation Time Estimates (ETE) for the Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) located in Pope County, Arkansas. ETE are part of the required planning basis and provide Entergy and State and local governments with site-specific information needed for Protective Action decision-making.
In the performance of this effort, guidance is provided by documents published by Federal Governmental agencies. Most important of these are:
Criteria for Development of Evacuation Time Estimate Studies, NUREG/CR-7002, November 2011. Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, November 1980. Development of Evacuation Time Estimates for Nuclear Power Plants, NUREG/CR-6863, January 2005. 10CFR50, Appendix E - "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities"
Overview of Project Activities
This project began in October, 2011 and extended over a period of 13 months. The major activities performed are briefly described in chronological sequence:
Attended "kick-off" meetings with Entergy personnel and emergency management personnel representing state and county governments. Accessed U.S. Census Bureau data files for the year 2010. Studied Geographical Information Systems (GIS) maps of the area in the vicinity of the Arkansas Nuclear One, then conducted a detailed field survey of the highway network. Synthesized this information to create an analysis network representing the highway system topology and capacities within the Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ), plus a Shadow Region covering the region between the EPZ boundary and approximately 15 miles radially from the plant. Designed and sponsored a telephone survey of residents within the EPZ to gather focused data needed for this ETE study that were not contained within the census database. The survey instrument was reviewed and modified by the licensee and offsite response organization (ORO) personnel prior to the survey. Data collection forms (provided to the OROs at the kickoff meeting) were returned with data pertaining to employment, transients, and special facilities in Pope, Johnson, and Yell Counties. Telephone calls to specific facilities supplemented the data provided.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 5-2 The traffic demand and trip-generation rates of evacuating vehicles were estimated from the gathered data. The trip generation rates reflected the estimated mobilization time (i.e., the time required by evacuees to prepare for the evacuation trip) computed using the results of the telephone survey of EPZ residents. Following federal guidelines, the EPZ is subdivided into 15 zones. These zones are then grouped within circular areas or "keyhole" configurations (circles plus radial sectors) that define a total of 33 Evacuation Regions. Time-varying external circumstances are represented as Evacuation Scenarios, each described in terms of the following factors: (1) Season (Summer, Winter); (2) Day of Week (Midweek, Weekend); (3) Time of Day (Midday, Evening); and (4) Weather (Good, Rain, Ice). One special event scenario involving a football game at Arkansas Tech University was considered. One roadway impact scenario was considered wherein a single lane was closed on Interstate 40 eastbound for the duration of the evacuation. Staged evacuation was considered for those regions wherein the 2 mile radius and sectors downwind to 5 miles were evacuated. As per NUREG/CR-7002, the Planning Basis for the calculation of ETE is:
A rapidly escalating accident at Arkansas Nuclear One that quickly assumes the status of General Emergency such that the Advisory to Evacuate is virtually coincident with the siren alert, and no early protective actions have been implemented. While an unlikely accident scenario, this planning basis will yield ETE, measured as the elapsed time from the Advisory to Evacuate until the a stated percentage of the population exits the impacted Region, that represent "upper bound" estimates. This conservative Planning Basis is applicable for all initiating events.
If the emergency occurs while schools are in session, the ETE study assumes that the children will be evacuated by bus directly to reception centers located outside the EPZ. Parents, relatives, and neighbors are advised to not pick up their children at school prior to the arrival of the buses dispatched for that purpose. The ETE for schoolchildren are calculated separately. Evacuees who do not have access to a private vehicle will either ride-share with relatives, friends or neighbors, or be evacuated by police cruisers of other emergency worker vehicles. Separate ETEs are calculated for the transit-dependent evacuees and homebound special needs population. All medical and correctional facilities in the EPZ shelter-in-place. ETEs are not provided for these facilities.
Computation of ETE
A total of 462 ETEs were computed for the evacuation of the general public. Each ETE quantifies the aggregate evacuation time estimated for the population within one of the 33 Evacuation Regions to evacuate from that Region, under the circumstances defined for one of the 14 Evacuation Scenarios (33 x 14 = 462). Separate ETEs are calculated for transit-dependent evacuees, including schoolchildren for applicable scenarios.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 5-3 Except for Region R03, which is the evacuation of the entire EPZ, only a portion of the people within the EPZ would be advised to evacuate. That is, the Advisory to Evacuate applies only to those people occupying the specified impacted region. It is assumed that 100 percent of the people within the impacted region will evacuate in response to this Advisory. The people occupying the remainder of the EPZ outside the impacted region may be advised to take shelter.
The computation of ETEs assumes that 20% of the population within the EPZ but outside the impacted region, will elect to "voluntarily" evacuate. In addition, 20% of the population in the Shadow Region will also elect to evacuate. These voluntary evacuees could impede those who are evacuating from within the impacted region. The impedance that could be caused by voluntary evacuees is considered in the computation of ETEs for the impacted region.
Staged evacuation is considered wherein those people within the 2-mile region evacuate immediately, while those beyond 2 miles, but within the EPZ, shelter-in-place. Once 90% of the 2-mile region is evacuated, those people beyond 2 miles begin to evacuate. As per federal guidance, 20% of people beyond 2 miles will evacuate (non-compliance) even though they are advised to shelter-in-place.
The computational procedure is outlined as follows:
A link-node representation of the highway network is coded. Each link represents a unidirectional length of highway; each node usually represents an intersection or merge point. The capacity of each link is estimated based on the field survey observations and on established traffic engineering procedures. The evacuation trips are generated at locations called "zonal centroids" located within the EPZ and Shadow Region. The trip generation rates vary over time reflecting the mobilization process, and from one location (centroid) to another depending on population density and on whether a centroid is within, or outside, the impacted area. The evacuation model computes the routing patterns for evacuating vehicles that are compliant with federal guidelines (outbound relative to the location of the plant), then simulate the traffic flow movements over space and time. This simulation process estimates the rate that traffic flow exits the impacted region.
The ETE statistics provide the elapsed times for 90 percent and 100 percent, respectively, of the population within the impacted region, to evacuate from within the impacted region. These statistics are presented in tabular and graphical formats. The 90 th percentile ETEs have been identified as the values that should be considered when making protective action decisions because the 100 th percentile ETEs are prolonged by those relatively few people who take longer to mobilize. This is referred to as the "evacuation tail" in Section 4.0 of NUREG/CR-7002.
Traffic Management
This study applies the existing comprehensive traffic management plans provided by Pope, Johnson, Logan and Yell Counties. As discussed in Section 9 and Appendix G, no additional traffic control points or roadblocks are recommended as a result of this study.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 5-4 Selected Results
A compilation of selected information is presented on the following pages in the form of figures and tables extracted from the body of the report; these are described below.
Figure 6-1 displays a map of the ANO EPZ showing the layout of the 15 zones that comprise, in aggregate, the EPZ. Table 3-1 presents the estimates of permanent resident population in each zone based on the 2010 Census data. Table 6-1 defines each of the 33 Evacuation Regions in terms of their respective groups of zones. Table 6-2 lists the Evacuation Scenarios. Tables 7-1 and 7-2 are compilations of ETEs. These data are the times needed to clear the indicated regions of 90 and 100 percent of the population occupying these regions, respectively. These computed ETEs include consideration of mobilization time and of estimated voluntary evacuations from other regions within the EPZ and from the Shadow
Region. Tables 7-3 and 7-4 presents ETEs for the 2-mile region for un-staged and staged evacuations for the 90 th and 100 th percentiles, respectively. Table 8-6 presents ETEs for the schoolchildren in good weather. Figure H-8 presents an example of an Evacuation Region (Region R08) to be evacuated under the circumstances defined in Table 6-1. Maps of all regions are provided in Appendix H.
Conclusions General population ETEs were computed for 462 unique cases - a combination of 33 unique Evacuation Regions and 14 unique Evacuation Scenarios. Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 document these ETEs for the 90 th and 100 th percentiles. These ETE range from 1:55 (hr:min) to 5:05 at the 90 th percentile. Inspection of Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 indicates that the ETEs for the 100 th percentile are significantly longer than those for the 90 th percentile. This is the result of the congestion within the EPZ. When the system becomes congested, traffic exits the EPZ at rates somewhat below capacity until some evacuation routes have cleared. As more routes clear, the aggregate rate of egress slows since many vehicles have already left the EPZ. Towards the end of the process, relatively few evacuation routes service the remaining demand. See Section 7.4 and Figures 7-9 through 7-22. Inspection of Table 7-3 and Table 7-4 indicates that a staged evacuation provides no benefits to evacuees from within the 2 mile region and unnecessarily delays the evacuation of those beyond 2 miles (compare Regions R02 and R04 through R12 with Regions R24 through R33, respectively, in Tables 7-1 and 7-2). Staged evacuation is not recommended for this site. See Section 7.6 for additional discussion.
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE EMERGENCY PLAN Revision 41 5-5 Comparison of Scenarios 9 (winter, weekend, midday) and 13 (winter, weekend, midday) in Tables 7-1 and 7-2 indicates that the special event - football game at Arkansas Tech University - does not materially affect the ETEs. See Section 7.5 for additional discussion. Comparison of Scenarios 1 and 14 in Table 7-1 indicates that the roadway closure - one lane eastbound on I-40 from Mission Road (Exit 78) to Exit 101 (County Hwy 34 / Fishlake Rd) - has a material impact on the 90 th and 100 th percentile ETEs. Those regions wherein all of Russellville (R03 and R19 through R23) evacuates experience increases in ETEs of up to one hour and fifteen minutes (90th percentile) and 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and 35 minutes (100th percentile). See Section 7.5 for additional discussion. Russellville and Dardanelle are the most congested areas during an evacuation. Congestion within Dardanelle clears at 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> and 15 minutes after the advisory to evacuate. The last location in the EPZ to exhibit traffic congestion is I-40 eastbound leaving Russellville at 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and 55 minutes after the advisory to evacuate. See Section 7.3 and Figures 7-3 through 7-8. Separate ETEs were computed for schoolchildren, transit-dependent persons, and homebound special needs persons. The average ETE for these population groups are less than the general population ETE for evacuation of the entire EPZ at the 90 th percentile. See Section 8. Table 8-4 indicates that there are sufficient transportation resources available in the EPZ to evacuate all schoolchildren, transit-dependent persons, and homebound special needs persons in a single wave. The general population ETE at the 90 th percentile is insensitive to changes in the base trip generation time of 31/2 hours due to the traffic congestion within the EPZ. See Table M-1. The general population ETE is relatively insensitive to the voluntary evacuation of vehicles in the Shadow Region (tripling the shadow evacuation percentage only increases 90th percentile ETE by 5 minutes). See Table M-2. Population changes of +19% or more or -20% or more result in ETE changes (30 minutes or more) which meet the NRC criteria for updating ETE between decennial Censuses. See Section M.3.
