[The COL applicant will identify specific capabilities.]
6.5 The means exists to make rapid assessment of actual or potential magnitude and locations of any radiological hazards through liquid or gaseous release pathways. [The COL applicant will identify specific capabilities.]
6.6 Radioiodine can be detected in the plume exposure EPZ, as low as
10-7 µCi/cc. [The COL applicant will identify specific capabilities.]
6.7 The means exists to estimate integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates, and for comparing these estimates with the EPA protective action guides (PAGs). [The COL applicant will identify specific capabilities.]
7.0 Protective Response 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10) - A range of protective actions has been developed for the plume exposure EPZ for emergency workers and the public. In developing this range of actions, consideration has been given to evacuation, sheltering, and, as a supplement to these, the prophylactic use of potassium iodide (KI), as appropriate. 7.1 The means exists to warn and advise onsite individuals of an emergency, including those in areas controlled by the operator, including:
[J.1]
- a. employees not having emergency assignments;
- b. visitors; 7.1 A test will be performed of the capabilities. 7.1 The means exists to warn and advise onsite individuals. [The COL applicant will identify specific capabilities.]
Guidelines for the choice of protective actions during an emergency, consistent with Federal guidance, are developed and in place, and protective actions for the ingestion exposure EPZ appropriate to the locale have been developed.
- c. contractor and construction personnel; and
- d. other persons who may be in the public access areas, on or passing through the site, or within the owner controlled area.
8.0 Exercises and Drills 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) - Periodic exercises are (will be) conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, periodic drills are (will be) conducted to develop and maintain key skills, and deficiencies identified as a result of exercises or drills are (will be) corrected. 8.1 Licensee conducts a full-participation exercise to evaluate major portions of emergency response capabilities, which includes participation by each State and local agency within the plume exposure EPZ, and each State within the ingestion control EPZ. [N.1] 8.1 A full-participation exercise (test) will be conducted within the specified time periods of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. 8.1.1 The exercise is completed within the specified time periods of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, onsite exercise objectives have been met, and there are no uncorrected onsite exercise deficiencies. [The COL applicant will identify exercise objectives and associated acceptance criteria.]
8.1.2 Onsite emergency response personnel were mobilized in sufficient numbers to fill emergency response positions, and they successfully performed their assigned responsibilities. [The COL applicant will identify responsibilities and associated acceptance criteria.]
8.1.3 The exercise is completed within the specified time periods of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50, offsite exercise objectives have been met, and there are either no uncorrected offsite exercise deficiencies or a license condition requires offsite deficiencies to be corrected prior to operation above 5% of rated power.
9.0 Implementing Procedures 10 CFR Part 50, App. E.V - No less than 180 days prior to the scheduled issuance of an operating license for a nuclear power reactor or a license to possess nuclear material, the applicant's detailed implementing procedures for its emergency plan shall be submitted to the Commission. 9.1 The licensee has submitted detailed implementing procedures for its emergency plan no less than 180 days prior to fuel load. 9.1 An inspection of the submittal letter will be performed. 9.1 The licensee has submitted detailed implementing procedures for the onsite emergency plan no less than 180 days prior to fuel load.
[The COL applicant will develop the implementing procedures.]
