Page 1 of 4 Attachment 1 10 CFR 50.54(g)(5) Procedure Change Summary Analysis Procedure!Title Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is submitting the following Emergency Plan Annex revision for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS):
* EP-AA-1007, Revision 32, "Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station" Description of Procedure The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex (i.e., EP-AA-1007) contains emergency planning information and guidance unique to the station. This includes facility geography, emergency response facility locations, and process and radiation monitoring instrumentation that provides a description of the station's emergency response capabilities, as well as any station unique commitments.
In conjunction with EP-AA-1007, EGC maintains a Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (i.e., EP-AA-1000) that outlines the basis for the response actions that would be implemented during an emergency. The planning efforts common to all EGC nuclear stations are encompassed within the Standard Plan.
Description of Changes
: 1. Phone System Change EP-AA-1007 was revised to address a digital upgrade of the main, commercial Private Branch Exchange (PBX) phone system at PBAPS. The upgrade replaces the current PBAPS main PBX with a digital system. The upgraded PBX will maintain an interface with the Peach Bottom Dedicated Emergency PBX (i.e., Omni System) that is equivalent to the current tie between the main PBX and the Emergency PBX. This change will not alter the Emergency PBX system. This change will also remove the Simulator phones from the Emergency PBX and transfer them to a separate phone switch. The Omni phones in the Simulator will be unaffected, and this change will have no impact on the communications capabilities used in support of emergency drills and exercises.
The main PBX upgrade also eliminates the existing point-to-point tie-lines between EGC facilities, as described in EP-AA-1007. These lines are accessed through a three-digit prefix associated with the target facility (e.g., 802 for Limerick Generating Station (LGS)), followed by the recipient's four-digit commercial phone extension. These tie-lines provide a redundant path to contact a commercial phone extension at another facility. These tie-lines do not allow access to the Emergency PBX telephone system. The upgraded system will route calls between EGC locations through the digital data network. This network provides a reliable communications infrastructure supported by multiple routers which provide alternate data paths in the event of a failure of a router. If the data network is unavailable, the commercial communications vendor's network will provide a backup communications path, further enhancing the reliability of these communications.
Page 2 of 4 Per EP-AA-1000, the State and local offsite authorities are simultaneously notified using the Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS), or a commercial telephone line as a backup.
This upgrade maintains the reliability of the commercial phone system and has no adverse impact on its ability to function as a backup means for State and local notifications.
The system upgrade eliminates the need for Emergency Response Organization (ERO) members to dial a "9" prefix in order to access an outside telephone line. This has no impact on the capability to communicate via the commercial phone network. EP-AA-1008, "Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Limerick Generating Station," was also reviewed for potential impacts. This review concluded that the PBAPS PBX upgrade has no impact on the LGS Emergency Plan.
: 2. 60 Minute Augmentation EP-M-1007 was revised to address a discrepancy regarding an incorrect statement in the Annex signifying when the 60-minute augmentation clock starts. The statement conflicts with implementing procedures and the language in the Standardized Emergency Plan (i.e.,
EP-AA-1000) and is being deleted.
: 3. Environmental Sampling Responsibilities EP-M-1007 was revised to include an additional change to recognize that the environmental sampling responsibilities during accident conditions are being changed from Normandeau Associates, Inc. to Exelon Industrial Services. The PBAPS Annex was revised to remove the reference to Normandeau and state that EGG shall provide for the collection of environmental media samples, leaving the option to use a vendor or collect the samples utilizing an EGG affiliated entity such as Exelon Industrial Services.
Description of How the Changes Still Comply with Regulations
: 1. Phone System Change Planning Standards 10 CFR 50.47(b)(6), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV.E, and Program Element NUREG-0654, Section 11.F, require licensees to establish physical means to communicate with offsite organizations and other licensee and offsite emergency response facilities.
These changes address the impact of the digital upgrade of the commercial PBX at PBAPS with a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) PBX system (Avaya). The upgraded system will route calls between EGG locations through the data network. This network provides a .
reliable communications infrastructure supported by multiple routers which provide alternate data paths in the event of a failure of a router. No changes to the Emergency Plan description of the commercial PBX telephone system are required with this modification.
Dedicated Emergency PBX Telephone System (Emergency Plan Section 5.5.3)
The PBAPS Emergency Plan description of the Dedicated Emergency PBX Telephone System is revised to remove reference to the "tie-line" between the PBAPS main PBX and the LGS Emergency PBX. While the tie-Line connection to the main PBX is removed, a tie-line connection is maintained between the PBAPS Emergency PBX and the Limerick Emergency PBX, such that the capability and redundancy is maintained. In addition, the capability to access the commercial phone system from the three-digit Page 3 of 4 dedicated Emergency PBX (OMNI system) is maintained. The functionality of the OMNI system is unaffected. The OMNI system still supports rapid dialing (i.e., three-digit numbers across the Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs)).
Tie-Lines (Emergency Plan Section 5.5.8)
The PBAPS Emergency Plan description of the point-to-point intra-facility tie-lines is revised to reflect the removal of the two-way commercial tie lines between LGS, PBAPS, Corporate Main Office, EGC Nuclear, and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
Dedicated lines are provided via the Vol P PBX network. These lines supported communications between comm~rcial phone extensions and were accessed through a three-digit prefix associated with the target facility (e.g., 802 for LGS), followed by the recipient's commercial phone extension. These tie-lines provide a redundant path to contact a commercial phone extension at another facility. The redundant intra-facility communication capability will be maintained through the EGC data network and is backed up by the commercial communications vendor's communications network, further enhancing the reliability of these communications. Due to the inherent reliability of the upgraded system, the removal of the point-to-point tie-lines has no impact on the capability to communicate between locations.
: 2. 60 Minute Augmentation 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) states: " ... timely augmentation of response capabilities is available." In addition, the guidance in NUREG-0654, Section 11.B.5, further states: "The licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency."
The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex (i.e., EP-AA-1007) Step 2.1 states that: "The Normal Shift Organization will be augmented, in an emergency, with designated/additional Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel within 60 minutes of notification as specified under Table PBAPS 2-1." The Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (i.e.,
EP-AA-1000) Step 11.H.4 provides a description of the activation process used at PBAPS and utilizes the word "declaration" to signify the start of the response time. PBAPS Emergency Plan implementing procedures are written to require augmentation to occur within 60 minutes of declaration and the change is consistent with ERO training and existing commitments under the PBAPS Emergency Plan. The statement in the EP-AA-1007 is being deleted and the governing guidance will be taken from the Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan EP-AA-1000.                                                    *
: 3. Environmental Sampling Responsibilities Planning Standard 10 CFR 50.54(b)(9) states:. "Adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use." In addition, guidance in NUREG-0654 further states:
    "Each organization shall describe the capability and resources for field monitoring within the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone."
Section 5.2.5 of the PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex provides a description of the Facilities and Equipment for offsite monitoring. The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex describes Normandeau Associates, Inc. as the contracted vendor to collect environmental media samples (e.g., water, grass, vegetation, etc.) under emergency conditions. The contract is being terminated and a new agreement is established with Exelon Industrial Services to Page 4 of 4 perform the same sampling function. The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex was revised such that it no longer names a specific contractor to perform these activities, but will still maintain the commitment to collect environmental media samples in accordance with the regulatory requirements and guidance. The capabilities for collecting environmental media samples are maintained and are not changed as a result of this revision.
Description of Why the Changes are Not a Reduction in Effectiveness CRIE)
Existing requirements and capabilities under the Emergency Plan Annex for PBAPS have not been deleted or reduced as a result of this revision as described in Items 1 through 3 above and, therefore, the station's Emergency Plan continues to satisfy the applicable Planning Standard regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, and Program Element guidance described in NUREG-0654. A review of existing regulatory commitments was made to ensure existing commitments continue to be met. Therefore, the changes made to EP-AA-1007 under this revision do not constitute a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan for PBAPS.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                        Exelon Nuclear Section 1: Introduction As required in the conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the operating licenses for the Exelon Nuclear Stations, the management of Exelon recognizes its responsibility and authority to operate and maintain the nuclear power stations in such a manner as to provide for the safety of the general public.
The Exelon Emergency Preparedness Program consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, Station Annexes, emergency plan implementing procedures, and associated program administrative documents. The Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. Planning efforts common to all Exelon Nuclear stations are encompassed within the Emergency Plan.
This document serves as the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex and contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. This includes facility geography and location for a full understanding and representation of the station's emergency response capabilities. The Station Annex is subject to the same review and audit requirements as the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan per EP-AA-120, "Emergency Plan Administration".
1.1    Facility Description The Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) is a fixed nuclear facility operated by Exelon Nuclear. The station consists of one High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor designated as Unit 1, which is in the SAFSTOR status of decommissioning, two operating Boiling Water Reactors designated as Units 2 and 3, and an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).
The PBAPS station is located partly in York County and partly in Lancaster County in southeastern Pennsylvania, on the west shore of Conowingo Pond, near the mouth of Rock Run Creek. The plant is about 38 miles NNE of Baltimore, MD; 65 miles WSW of Philadelphia, PA; 45 miles SE of Harrisburg, PA; and 20 miles SSE of Lancaster, PA. Conowingo Pond is a reservoir formed by the backwater of Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River; the dam is located about 9 miles downstream from PBAPS. The nearest communities are Delta, PA, and Cardiff, MD, located approximately 4 and 6 miles WSW of the site, respectively.
For more specific site location information, refer to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.
1.2    Emergency Planning Zones The Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station shall be an area surrounding the Station with a radius of about ten miles. The exact physical boundaries are determined by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Maryland, and affected Counties). Refer to Figure PBAPS 1-1.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                          Exelon Nuclear The Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station shall be an area surrounding the Station with a radius of about 50 miles. Refer to Figure PBAPS 1-2.
1.3  Participating Governmental Agencies The overall responsibility for the management of the effects of accidental off-site releases of radioactivity resulting from either a nuclear power plant or a transportation accident rests with state and local governments.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania organizations having prime responsibility in matters of radiation hazards are the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and the Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. State of Maryland organizations having primary responsibility in matters of radiation hazards are the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the Technical Support Program of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MOE).
County and local governments are responsible for the protection of public health and safety within their jurisdiction. Similarly, organizations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and States of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey are responsible for the protection of the public in their states. Cooperation with the States of Delaware and New Jersey is necessary because these states are within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ.
These civil agencies will respond to provide support in the event of an emergency in the areas indicated below.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                                    Exelon Nuclear Section 2: Organizational Control of Emergencies This section describes the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) and its key po,sitions. It outlines the staffing requirements which provide initial emergency response actions and provisions for timely augmentation of on-shift personnel when required. It also describes interfaces among Exelon Nuclear emergency response personnel and specifies the offsite support available to respond to the nuclear generating stations.
2.1    Shift Organization Staffing Initial response to any emergency is by the normal plant organization present at the site. This organization includes positions that are onsite 24 hours per day and is described in Section 8.1 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan. ERO activation is described in Section H.4 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.
Table PBAPS 2-1 outlines ERO positions required to meet minimum staffing and full augmentation of the on-shift complement at an Alert or higher classification, and the major tasks assigned to each position. Responsibilities for each position are described in Section 8.5 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.
2.1.1 Shift Dose Assessment The on-shift dose assessment function will be performed by a shift Radiation Protection Technician (RPT) at Limerick Generating Station.
However, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station will maintain the capability to perform a shift. dose assessment, if necessary.
2.1.2 Shift Emergency Communicators The Shift Communicator performs notifications to the State and County organizations until relieved by the TSC, and assists in the initiation of the ERO Callout System as directed. The Communicator position is staffed by a designated on..;shift individual capable of responding to -the Control Room immediately in support of the initiation of offsite notifications within 15 minutes of event classification.
A 2nd on-shift individual will be designated to support communications with the NRC over the Emergency Notification System (ENS) until relieved by the TSC.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                                Exelon Nuclear 2.1.3 Shift Technical Advisor (STA)/ Incident Assessor Section 8.1 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan outlines the On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Assignment of the STA. Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station has deemed the following as an acceptable method of implementing Section 8.1 in reference to the STA.
The responsibilities of the STA are delineated on OP-AA-101-111, "Roles and Responsibilities of On-Shift Personnel." If the STA is the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor, then another Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) shall assist as Incident Assessor during unexpected conditions and transients. Per Table PBAP-1, the on-shift STA or Incident Assessor shall also provide core/thermal hydraulics support to Control Room staff.
2.2  Emergency Response Organization (ERO) Staffing Refer to Table PBAPS 2-1 of the PBAPS Annex, "Minimum Staffing Requirements", for a comparison against the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan of 60-minute and full augmentation commitments.
2.2.1 Emergency Onsite Organization (Figure PBAPS 2-2)
No changes in augmentation positions or staffing levels for the Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC) and Control Room from that specified in the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.
2.2.2 Emergency Offsite Organization (Figure PBAPS 2-3)
Based on existing interface and staffing agreements, representatives from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of Maryland will respond to the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), allowing direct face-to-face communications. As such, the State Environs Communicator position, listed under the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, is not staffed at the Coatesville EOF. Rather the EOF Environmental Coordinator will interface directly with State representatives present in the EDF.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                              Exelon Nuclear Section 4: Emergency Measures 4.1  Notification of the Emergency Organization Notifications for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station are made to the following additional State and local agencies in accordance with Section E.3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan:
* Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA)
* Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA)
* Cecil County Emergency Management & Civil Defense Agency
* Chester County Department of Emergency Services
* Harford County Division of Emergency Operations
* Lancaster County Emergency Management Agency
* York County Emergency Services Notification of PEMA and the risk counties will be directed by the Emergency Director within 15 minutes of initial event classification, reclassification, or a change in a protective action recommendation (PAR) due to plant conditions or meteorological changes per Section E.3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan. In addition, once the EOF is activated, the Corporate Emergency Director will contact the Senior Pennsylvania State Official as designated by PEMA following the decision to recommend a protective action for the general public.
Upon notification of an emergency at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) and Maryland Department of the Environment (MOE) will contact the appropriate station to verify that an emergency exists and to obtain technical information, and then makes recommendations to PEMA and MEMA respectively, regarding protective actions for the public. The BRP/
MOE Support Plan For Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents utilizes the Protective Action Guidelines in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents".
Exelon Nuclear will provide follow-up information to the BRP/MDE or other off-site authorities. The follow-up information will keep these authorities apprised of existing or potential radiological releases, meteorological conditions, projected doses and contamination levels, licensee actions, recommend* protective actions and other information .pertinent to the authorities responsibilities. The information may be provided over open communication paths or in person to BRP/MDE personnel.
January 2017                          PBAPS 4-1                EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                              Exelon Nuclear 4.2  Assessment Actions The effluent radiation monitoring system provides indications of gross releases of gaseous and liquid radioactivity. By applying calibration factors, meteorological data, or river flow, the gross indications are used to calculate approximate release rates in
      &#xb5;Ci/sec and dose rates at specific distances along the release pathways. Particulate and iodine analysis depends on collecting installed filter papers and charcoal cartridges for analysis in the counting room. Similar calculation procedures are applied to approximate release rates and dose rates due to iodine.
Detectors are strategically located throughout the plant. These detectors indicate and alarm locally and in the Control Room. They serve the purpose of indicating current dose rates in those areas and are used for local evacuation action levels and re-entry operations.
Certain plant operating systems contain radiation monitors.        These systems are described in the PBAPS UFSAR.
Portable monitoring instruments and sampling equipment consist of such items that are utilized and maintained on-site by the Chemistry and Health Physics sections for normal day-to-day plant operations and are thus available for emergency operations.
4.2.1 Core Damage Assessment Methodology Core damage information is used to refine dose assessments and confirm or extend initial protective action recommendations. Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station utilizes NEDC-33045P-A, "Methods of Estimating Core Damage in BWRs" (Revision 0, July 2001), as the basis for the methodology for post-accident core damage assessment. This methodology utilizes real-time plant indications. In addition, PBAPS may use samples of plant fluids and atmospheres as inputs to the CDAM (Core Damage Assessment Methodology) program for core damage estimation.
January 2017                            PBAPS 4-2                EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                                Exelon Nuclear 4.3  Protective Actions for the Offsite Public For incidents at PBAPS, PEMA coordinates with MEMA and contacts York, Lancaster and Chester County Emergency Management Agencies to assure that local plans have been implemented. MEMA likewise contacts Cecil and Harford Counties in the event of emergency at PBAPS to assure that all plans have been implemented. County and local governments have primary responsibilities for implementing protective measures for the public following a nuclear incident.
The BRP and MOE serve as lead State agency, in Pennsylvania and Maryland respectively, for technical assistance to other state agencies, county, and local governments regarding radiological health and accident assessment. In the absence of communications with the state, recommendations for protective actions shall be made directly to county emergency operations centers from the station.              ,
4.3.1 Alert and Notification System (ANS) Sirens Annex E of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan and Annex Q of the Maryland Radiological Emergency Plan address notification to the general public and others regarding protective actions. An Alert Notification System, which is intended for use by the counties, in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to provide notification to the general public, has been installed .
            . Alerting of the EPZ population is provided by a siren system that was installed and is maintained by Exelon Nuclear. The system consists of high-powered rotating electro-mechanical sirens mounted on Class 1 utility poles throughout the Plume Exposure Pathway (10-Mile EPZ). Personnel at the risk county communication centers operate the sirens. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), in conjunction with Maryland and the risk counties, coordinates the activation of the siren system for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.
The siren system meets or exceeds the acoustic coverage requirements outlined in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and FEMA-REP-10. The location of each siren site was determined by a computer-based sound propagation model.
The sirens are controlled by digitally encoded radio signals transmitted by a transceiver at the station. Each risk county has control of the sirens that are physically located in that county. The sirens can be activated on an individual, municipal, county, or EPZ-wide basis. A controller located at the station serves as a backup to the county controllers. After the system is activated, each siren reports the result of its activation back to the respective county controller and the controller at the station. The siren system is tested regularly to ensure its operability.
January 2017                            PBAPS 4-3                  EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                                  Exelon Nuclear Annex E (to the PA Emergency Operations Plan) and Annex Q (to the Maryland REP) delineate risk counties as responsible to:
* Develop a system for rapid notification (in priority order) of county and local government heads, key staff, emergency forces, volunteer organizations, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, business, and industry;
* Ensure that the alert and notification system is operable on an around-the-clock basis;
* Prepare and disseminate public information material on protective actions to provide clear instructions to the population at risk;
* Prepare and maintain material current for dissemination through the EAS; and
* Include provisions in the alert plan for notification of transients.
PEMA/MEMA will notify other states within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ should such action be necessary.
Annex E (to the PA Emergency Operations Plan) and Annex Q (to the Maryland REP) also call for each risk county to promptly activate their alert notification system, when appropriate. EAS radio stations will be activated and instructed as to which prepared message to use. Detailed messages with specific instructions to the public will be provided to the EAS stations by state-and county public information officers on a timely basis. Various state agencies will assist the counties in assuring notifications of transients.
Backup means of notification is achieved through Route Alerting, which is contained within the State and respective counties' Radiological Emergency Response Plans and procedures. The means consists of utilizing vehicles with public address (PA) systems in the event the primary method of alerting and notification is unavailable. The backup method has the capability to alert and notify the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ within a reasonable time, but does not need to meet the 15-minute design objective for the primary prompt public alert and notification system.
4.3.2 Evacuation Time Estimates The ETE study used population data from the 2010 census which includes parts of three counties in Pennsylvania (Chester, Lancaster and York) and two counties in Maryland (Harford and Cecil). The evacuation times are based on a detailed consideration of the EPZ roadway network and population distribution. The ETE Study, contained in EP-AA-1007 Addendum 2, Evacuation Time Estimates for the Peach Bottom Station Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone, presents evacuation times for daytime and nighttime scenarios under various weather conditions for the evacuation of various areas around the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, once a decision has been made to evacuate.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                                    Exelon Nuclear 4.3.3 Potassium Iodide (Kl)
The Department of Health, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is responsible for providing advice to PEMA on the planning for the use, stockpiling and distribution of Potassium Iodide (Kl) or other thyroid blocking agents and such other radiological health materials as may be required for the protection of the general public. Their decision shall also be based on U.S. FDA guidance.
The use of Kl in the State of Maryland will be in accordance with state health laws and under the direction of State and County Medical Officials.
Based on agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of Maryland, PBAPS will recommend to government officials that the* general public be notified to take Kl at a General Emergency classification in those sectors were an evacuation or shelter has been recommended.                  This notification will be approved by the Emergency Director in Command and Control of PAR decision-making and off-site notifications, and performed as part of the State I local notifications described under Sections 11.8.4 and 11.E.3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.
4.3.4 Public Information
: a.      Publications Public information on protective actions is prepared and disseminated annually to provide clear instructions to the population-at-risk. Exelon Nuclear assi~ts PEMA/MEMA and risk counties in the preparation and distribution of their respective public information ..
Pamphlets outlining public education response actions are readily available for transients in the 10-Mile EPZ. In addition, emergency information is provided to the operators of other recreational areas in the 10-Mile EPZ, as defined by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Maryland and risk counties.
These public information publications (including telephone book emergency information, etc.) instruct the public to go indoors and turn on their radios when they hear the ANS sirens operating.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                                Exelon Nuclear 4.3.5 Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the General Public To aid the Emergency Response Organization during a developing emergency situation, EP-AA-111, "Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations" has been developed based on Section J.10.m of the Emergency Plan.
4.4  Protective Actions for Onsite Personnel 4.4.1 Plant Evacuation Exelon Nuclear personnel and contractors filling emergency response organization positions are considered essential personnel. As such, they will report to their emergency response locations. They will not evacuate unless specifically directed by the Emergency Director. All other personnel are considered non-essential.
In-plant evacuation is initiated primarily by area radiation monitor alarms and continuous air monitor alarms, but is also applicable for fire alarms, explosions, toxic material conditions, as well as radiation, contamination, and airborne radioactivity surveys which indicate conditions above applicable limits. Notification for personnel to proceed with in-plant evacuation will be via a local alarm or an announcement on the plant PA system. The affected area and evacuation assembly areas (if appropriate) will be announced. The immediate response by individuals in the vicinity of such an alarm or announcement is evacuation to an unaffected area or designed assembly area. In the absence of readily available radiological survey information or other logical assessment of conditions, evacuation will be, at least, to a point where other area radiation monitors, continuous air monitors, or observation of local conditions show that the area is not affected.
Assigned plant personnel report to the scene to evaluate conditions, to provide information to the Control Room, and to perform other emergency functions such as personnel accountability, decontamination, medical assistance, and control of the hazard.
Notification of a Site Evacuation is accomplished by activating the Evacuation Alarm System followed by an announcement over the plant PA system. The evacuation assembly area(s) are announced. Evacuation assembly areas are illustrated in Figure PBAPS 4-1. Non-essential personnel will exit via the security exit points and will proceed to the parking lot for transportation.
Evacuees are expected to use their personal vehicles in evacuating to the designated evacuation assembly area(s). Designated evacuation assembly areas are located out side the protected area. Plant access roads are maintained clear during the winter months, travel on these roads is expected to be possible at all times.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex                            Exelon Nuclear PBAPS has five points of release of radioactive material to the atmosphere. These are the Main Off-Gas Stack, Units 2 and 3 Roof Vents and Torus Hardened Vents. Sample systems are installed for three pathways, Main Stack and two Roof Vents. The sample systems consist of isokinetic sample lines containing particulate/iodine filters, and separate sample lines to shielded gas chambers. Detector outputs associated with the gas chambers are recorded in the Control Room.
Roof Vent and Main Stack flow rates are also recorded in the Control Room.
The roof vent radiation monitoring system continuously monitors the noble gas being discharged from the Peach Bottom Unit 2 and Unit 3 roof vents. Each unit has two independent monitoring stations. The monitoring stations use scintillation detectors, which read out digitally in the Control Room.
A representative sample of the Torus Hardened Vent (THV) effluent can be obtained by utilizing the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS). The PASS is capable of sampling containment atmosphere prior to and during the use of the Torus Hardened Vent. The THV radiation monitoring system consists of GM type radiation detectors.
One monitor is externally mounted to the vent. Both monitors readout in cpm, and are displayed on a digital monitor in the Control Room.
The refuel floor exhaust is combined with other building exhaust streams and is monitored by the Ventilation Stack Radiation Monitoring system for each unit. All alarm functions and readouts are in the Main Control Room. There are also several Area Radiation Monitors on the refuel floors that provide both local and Main Control Room alarm and readout.
Peach Bottoms' gas chamber detector recorder readouts are converted to uCi/sec of noble gas using calibration data and effluent flow rates for each point of release. The uCi/sec Iodine and particulates are determined from the filter and charcoal cartridge samples. The dose projection system then relates meteorological and radiological data to project dose rates along the plume pathway for selected distances.
Appropriate atmospheric distribution coefficients are selected for distances of interest from the poi_nt of release. Dose rates at these distances are calculated using this data. *
: b. Radiological Effluent Liquid Monitoring Liquid releases are made on a batch basis from waste sample tanks.
The contents of these tanks are circulated prior to sampling and analysis and release in the discharge canal. Release forms are prepared to authorize releases to the discharge canal. Potentially, plant system leaks could cause discharge to the canal directly.

Attachment 1 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5) Procedure Change Summary Analysis

/

Page 1 of 4 Attachment 1 10 CFR 50.54(g)(5) Procedure Change Summary Analysis Procedure!Title Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) is submitting the following Emergency Plan Annex revision for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS):

  • EP-AA-1007, Revision 32, "Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station" Description of Procedure The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex (i.e., EP-AA-1007) contains emergency planning information and guidance unique to the station. This includes facility geography, emergency response facility locations, and process and radiation monitoring instrumentation that provides a description of the station's emergency response capabilities, as well as any station unique commitments.

In conjunction with EP-AA-1007, EGC maintains a Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (i.e., EP-AA-1000) that outlines the basis for the response actions that would be implemented during an emergency. The planning efforts common to all EGC nuclear stations are encompassed within the Standard Plan.

Description of Changes

1. Phone System Change EP-AA-1007 was revised to address a digital upgrade of the main, commercial Private Branch Exchange (PBX) phone system at PBAPS. The upgrade replaces the current PBAPS main PBX with a digital system. The upgraded PBX will maintain an interface with the Peach Bottom Dedicated Emergency PBX (i.e., Omni System) that is equivalent to the current tie between the main PBX and the Emergency PBX. This change will not alter the Emergency PBX system. This change will also remove the Simulator phones from the Emergency PBX and transfer them to a separate phone switch. The Omni phones in the Simulator will be unaffected, and this change will have no impact on the communications capabilities used in support of emergency drills and exercises.

The main PBX upgrade also eliminates the existing point-to-point tie-lines between EGC facilities, as described in EP-AA-1007. These lines are accessed through a three-digit prefix associated with the target facility (e.g., 802 for Limerick Generating Station (LGS)), followed by the recipient's four-digit commercial phone extension. These tie-lines provide a redundant path to contact a commercial phone extension at another facility. These tie-lines do not allow access to the Emergency PBX telephone system. The upgraded system will route calls between EGC locations through the digital data network. This network provides a reliable communications infrastructure supported by multiple routers which provide alternate data paths in the event of a failure of a router. If the data network is unavailable, the commercial communications vendor's network will provide a backup communications path, further enhancing the reliability of these communications.

Page 2 of 4 Per EP-AA-1000, the State and local offsite authorities are simultaneously notified using the Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS), or a commercial telephone line as a backup.

This upgrade maintains the reliability of the commercial phone system and has no adverse impact on its ability to function as a backup means for State and local notifications.

The system upgrade eliminates the need for Emergency Response Organization (ERO) members to dial a "9" prefix in order to access an outside telephone line. This has no impact on the capability to communicate via the commercial phone network. EP-AA-1008, "Radiological Emergency Plan Annex for Limerick Generating Station," was also reviewed for potential impacts. This review concluded that the PBAPS PBX upgrade has no impact on the LGS Emergency Plan.

2. 60 Minute Augmentation EP-M-1007 was revised to address a discrepancy regarding an incorrect statement in the Annex signifying when the 60-minute augmentation clock starts. The statement conflicts with implementing procedures and the language in the Standardized Emergency Plan (i.e.,

EP-AA-1000) and is being deleted.

3. Environmental Sampling Responsibilities EP-M-1007 was revised to include an additional change to recognize that the environmental sampling responsibilities during accident conditions are being changed from Normandeau Associates, Inc. to Exelon Industrial Services. The PBAPS Annex was revised to remove the reference to Normandeau and state that EGG shall provide for the collection of environmental media samples, leaving the option to use a vendor or collect the samples utilizing an EGG affiliated entity such as Exelon Industrial Services.

Description of How the Changes Still Comply with Regulations

1. Phone System Change Planning Standards 10 CFR 50.47(b)(6), 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Section IV.E, and Program Element NUREG-0654, Section 11.F, require licensees to establish physical means to communicate with offsite organizations and other licensee and offsite emergency response facilities.

These changes address the impact of the digital upgrade of the commercial PBX at PBAPS with a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) PBX system (Avaya). The upgraded system will route calls between EGG locations through the data network. This network provides a .

reliable communications infrastructure supported by multiple routers which provide alternate data paths in the event of a failure of a router. No changes to the Emergency Plan description of the commercial PBX telephone system are required with this modification.

Dedicated Emergency PBX Telephone System (Emergency Plan Section 5.5.3)

The PBAPS Emergency Plan description of the Dedicated Emergency PBX Telephone System is revised to remove reference to the "tie-line" between the PBAPS main PBX and the LGS Emergency PBX. While the tie-Line connection to the main PBX is removed, a tie-line connection is maintained between the PBAPS Emergency PBX and the Limerick Emergency PBX, such that the capability and redundancy is maintained. In addition, the capability to access the commercial phone system from the three-digit Page 3 of 4 dedicated Emergency PBX (OMNI system) is maintained. The functionality of the OMNI system is unaffected. The OMNI system still supports rapid dialing (i.e., three-digit numbers across the Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs)).

Tie-Lines (Emergency Plan Section 5.5.8)

The PBAPS Emergency Plan description of the point-to-point intra-facility tie-lines is revised to reflect the removal of the two-way commercial tie lines between LGS, PBAPS, Corporate Main Office, EGC Nuclear, and the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).

Dedicated lines are provided via the Vol P PBX network. These lines supported communications between comm~rcial phone extensions and were accessed through a three-digit prefix associated with the target facility (e.g., 802 for LGS), followed by the recipient's commercial phone extension. These tie-lines provide a redundant path to contact a commercial phone extension at another facility. The redundant intra-facility communication capability will be maintained through the EGC data network and is backed up by the commercial communications vendor's communications network, further enhancing the reliability of these communications. Due to the inherent reliability of the upgraded system, the removal of the point-to-point tie-lines has no impact on the capability to communicate between locations.

2. 60 Minute Augmentation 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) states: " ... timely augmentation of response capabilities is available." In addition, the guidance in NUREG-0654, Section 11.B.5, further states: "The licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency."

The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex (i.e., EP-AA-1007) Step 2.1 states that: "The Normal Shift Organization will be augmented, in an emergency, with designated/additional Emergency Response Organization (ERO) personnel within 60 minutes of notification as specified under Table PBAPS 2-1." The Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan (i.e.,

EP-AA-1000) Step 11.H.4 provides a description of the activation process used at PBAPS and utilizes the word "declaration" to signify the start of the response time. PBAPS Emergency Plan implementing procedures are written to require augmentation to occur within 60 minutes of declaration and the change is consistent with ERO training and existing commitments under the PBAPS Emergency Plan. The statement in the EP-AA-1007 is being deleted and the governing guidance will be taken from the Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan EP-AA-1000. *

3. Environmental Sampling Responsibilities Planning Standard 10 CFR 50.54(b)(9) states:. "Adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use." In addition, guidance in NUREG-0654 further states:

"Each organization shall describe the capability and resources for field monitoring within the plume exposure Emergency Planning Zone."

Section 5.2.5 of the PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex provides a description of the Facilities and Equipment for offsite monitoring. The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex describes Normandeau Associates, Inc. as the contracted vendor to collect environmental media samples (e.g., water, grass, vegetation, etc.) under emergency conditions. The contract is being terminated and a new agreement is established with Exelon Industrial Services to Page 4 of 4 perform the same sampling function. The PBAPS Emergency Plan Annex was revised such that it no longer names a specific contractor to perform these activities, but will still maintain the commitment to collect environmental media samples in accordance with the regulatory requirements and guidance. The capabilities for collecting environmental media samples are maintained and are not changed as a result of this revision.

Description of Why the Changes are Not a Reduction in Effectiveness CRIE)

Existing requirements and capabilities under the Emergency Plan Annex for PBAPS have not been deleted or reduced as a result of this revision as described in Items 1 through 3 above and, therefore, the station's Emergency Plan continues to satisfy the applicable Planning Standard regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.47, 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, and Program Element guidance described in NUREG-0654. A review of existing regulatory commitments was made to ensure existing commitments continue to be met. Therefore, the changes made to EP-AA-1007 under this revision do not constitute a reduction in effectiveness of the Emergency Plan for PBAPS.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 1: Introduction As required in the conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the operating licenses for the Exelon Nuclear Stations, the management of Exelon recognizes its responsibility and authority to operate and maintain the nuclear power stations in such a manner as to provide for the safety of the general public.

The Exelon Emergency Preparedness Program consists of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, Station Annexes, emergency plan implementing procedures, and associated program administrative documents. The Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. Planning efforts common to all Exelon Nuclear stations are encompassed within the Emergency Plan.

This document serves as the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex and contains information and guidance that is unique to the station. This includes facility geography and location for a full understanding and representation of the station's emergency response capabilities. The Station Annex is subject to the same review and audit requirements as the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan per EP-AA-120, "Emergency Plan Administration".

1.1 Facility Description The Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) is a fixed nuclear facility operated by Exelon Nuclear. The station consists of one High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor designated as Unit 1, which is in the SAFSTOR status of decommissioning, two operating Boiling Water Reactors designated as Units 2 and 3, and an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

The PBAPS station is located partly in York County and partly in Lancaster County in southeastern Pennsylvania, on the west shore of Conowingo Pond, near the mouth of Rock Run Creek. The plant is about 38 miles NNE of Baltimore, MD; 65 miles WSW of Philadelphia, PA; 45 miles SE of Harrisburg, PA; and 20 miles SSE of Lancaster, PA. Conowingo Pond is a reservoir formed by the backwater of Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River; the dam is located about 9 miles downstream from PBAPS. The nearest communities are Delta, PA, and Cardiff, MD, located approximately 4 and 6 miles WSW of the site, respectively.

For more specific site location information, refer to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.

1.2 Emergency Planning Zones The Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station shall be an area surrounding the Station with a radius of about ten miles. The exact physical boundaries are determined by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Maryland, and affected Counties). Refer to Figure PBAPS 1-1.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear The Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station shall be an area surrounding the Station with a radius of about 50 miles. Refer to Figure PBAPS 1-2.

1.3 Participating Governmental Agencies The overall responsibility for the management of the effects of accidental off-site releases of radioactivity resulting from either a nuclear power plant or a transportation accident rests with state and local governments.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania organizations having prime responsibility in matters of radiation hazards are the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and the Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. State of Maryland organizations having primary responsibility in matters of radiation hazards are the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the Technical Support Program of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MOE).

County and local governments are responsible for the protection of public health and safety within their jurisdiction. Similarly, organizations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and States of Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey are responsible for the protection of the public in their states. Cooperation with the States of Delaware and New Jersey is necessary because these states are within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ.

These civil agencies will respond to provide support in the event of an emergency in the areas indicated below.

1.3.1 Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA)

Responsibilities of PEMA are outlined in Annex E, "Radiological Emergency Response to Nuclear Power Plant Incidents" of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan.

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 3: Classification of Emergencies The PBAPS Emergency Action Levels and supporting information are re-located to EP-AA-1007, Addendum 3 January 2017 PBAPS 3-1 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Section 4: Emergency Measures 4.1 Notification of the Emergency Organization Notifications for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station are made to the following additional State and local agencies in accordance with Section E.3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan:

  • Cecil County Emergency Management & Civil Defense Agency
  • Chester County Department of Emergency Services
  • Harford County Division of Emergency Operations
  • York County Emergency Services Notification of PEMA and the risk counties will be directed by the Emergency Director within 15 minutes of initial event classification, reclassification, or a change in a protective action recommendation (PAR) due to plant conditions or meteorological changes per Section E.3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan. In addition, once the EOF is activated, the Corporate Emergency Director will contact the Senior Pennsylvania State Official as designated by PEMA following the decision to recommend a protective action for the general public.

Upon notification of an emergency at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) and Maryland Department of the Environment (MOE) will contact the appropriate station to verify that an emergency exists and to obtain technical information, and then makes recommendations to PEMA and MEMA respectively, regarding protective actions for the public. The BRP/

MOE Support Plan For Fixed Nuclear Facility Incidents utilizes the Protective Action Guidelines in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents".

Exelon Nuclear will provide follow-up information to the BRP/MDE or other off-site authorities. The follow-up information will keep these authorities apprised of existing or potential radiological releases, meteorological conditions, projected doses and contamination levels, licensee actions, recommend* protective actions and other information .pertinent to the authorities responsibilities. The information may be provided over open communication paths or in person to BRP/MDE personnel.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-1 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.2 Assessment Actions The effluent radiation monitoring system provides indications of gross releases of gaseous and liquid radioactivity. By applying calibration factors, meteorological data, or river flow, the gross indications are used to calculate approximate release rates in

µCi/sec and dose rates at specific distances along the release pathways. Particulate and iodine analysis depends on collecting installed filter papers and charcoal cartridges for analysis in the counting room. Similar calculation procedures are applied to approximate release rates and dose rates due to iodine.

Detectors are strategically located throughout the plant. These detectors indicate and alarm locally and in the Control Room. They serve the purpose of indicating current dose rates in those areas and are used for local evacuation action levels and re-entry operations.

Certain plant operating systems contain radiation monitors. These systems are described in the PBAPS UFSAR.

Portable monitoring instruments and sampling equipment consist of such items that are utilized and maintained on-site by the Chemistry and Health Physics sections for normal day-to-day plant operations and are thus available for emergency operations.

4.2.1 Core Damage Assessment Methodology Core damage information is used to refine dose assessments and confirm or extend initial protective action recommendations. Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station utilizes NEDC-33045P-A, "Methods of Estimating Core Damage in BWRs" (Revision 0, July 2001), as the basis for the methodology for post-accident core damage assessment. This methodology utilizes real-time plant indications. In addition, PBAPS may use samples of plant fluids and atmospheres as inputs to the CDAM (Core Damage Assessment Methodology) program for core damage estimation.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-2 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.3 Protective Actions for the Offsite Public For incidents at PBAPS, PEMA coordinates with MEMA and contacts York, Lancaster and Chester County Emergency Management Agencies to assure that local plans have been implemented. MEMA likewise contacts Cecil and Harford Counties in the event of emergency at PBAPS to assure that all plans have been implemented. County and local governments have primary responsibilities for implementing protective measures for the public following a nuclear incident.

The BRP and MOE serve as lead State agency, in Pennsylvania and Maryland respectively, for technical assistance to other state agencies, county, and local governments regarding radiological health and accident assessment. In the absence of communications with the state, recommendations for protective actions shall be made directly to county emergency operations centers from the station. ,

4.3.1 Alert and Notification System (ANS) Sirens Annex E of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Emergency Operations Plan and Annex Q of the Maryland Radiological Emergency Plan address notification to the general public and others regarding protective actions. An Alert Notification System, which is intended for use by the counties, in conjunction with the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to provide notification to the general public, has been installed .

. Alerting of the EPZ population is provided by a siren system that was installed and is maintained by Exelon Nuclear. The system consists of high-powered rotating electro-mechanical sirens mounted on Class 1 utility poles throughout the Plume Exposure Pathway (10-Mile EPZ). Personnel at the risk county communication centers operate the sirens. The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), in conjunction with Maryland and the risk counties, coordinates the activation of the siren system for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.

The siren system meets or exceeds the acoustic coverage requirements outlined in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and FEMA-REP-10. The location of each siren site was determined by a computer-based sound propagation model.

The sirens are controlled by digitally encoded radio signals transmitted by a transceiver at the station. Each risk county has control of the sirens that are physically located in that county. The sirens can be activated on an individual, municipal, county, or EPZ-wide basis. A controller located at the station serves as a backup to the county controllers. After the system is activated, each siren reports the result of its activation back to the respective county controller and the controller at the station. The siren system is tested regularly to ensure its operability.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-3 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Annex E (to the PA Emergency Operations Plan) and Annex Q (to the Maryland REP) delineate risk counties as responsible to:

  • Develop a system for rapid notification (in priority order) of county and local government heads, key staff, emergency forces, volunteer organizations, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, business, and industry;
  • Ensure that the alert and notification system is operable on an around-the-clock basis;
  • Prepare and disseminate public information material on protective actions to provide clear instructions to the population at risk;
  • Prepare and maintain material current for dissemination through the EAS; and
  • Include provisions in the alert plan for notification of transients.

PEMA/MEMA will notify other states within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ should such action be necessary.

Annex E (to the PA Emergency Operations Plan) and Annex Q (to the Maryland REP) also call for each risk county to promptly activate their alert notification system, when appropriate. EAS radio stations will be activated and instructed as to which prepared message to use. Detailed messages with specific instructions to the public will be provided to the EAS stations by state-and county public information officers on a timely basis. Various state agencies will assist the counties in assuring notifications of transients.

Backup means of notification is achieved through Route Alerting, which is contained within the State and respective counties' Radiological Emergency Response Plans and procedures. The means consists of utilizing vehicles with public address (PA) systems in the event the primary method of alerting and notification is unavailable. The backup method has the capability to alert and notify the public within the plume exposure pathway EPZ within a reasonable time, but does not need to meet the 15-minute design objective for the primary prompt public alert and notification system.

4.3.2 Evacuation Time Estimates The ETE study used population data from the 2010 census which includes parts of three counties in Pennsylvania (Chester, Lancaster and York) and two counties in Maryland (Harford and Cecil). The evacuation times are based on a detailed consideration of the EPZ roadway network and population distribution. The ETE Study, contained in EP-AA-1007 Addendum 2, Evacuation Time Estimates for the Peach Bottom Station Plume Exposure Pathway Emergency Planning Zone, presents evacuation times for daytime and nighttime scenarios under various weather conditions for the evacuation of various areas around the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, once a decision has been made to evacuate.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-4 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.3.3 Potassium Iodide (Kl)

The Department of Health, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is responsible for providing advice to PEMA on the planning for the use, stockpiling and distribution of Potassium Iodide (Kl) or other thyroid blocking agents and such other radiological health materials as may be required for the protection of the general public. Their decision shall also be based on U.S. FDA guidance.

The use of Kl in the State of Maryland will be in accordance with state health laws and under the direction of State and County Medical Officials.

Based on agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of Maryland, PBAPS will recommend to government officials that the* general public be notified to take Kl at a General Emergency classification in those sectors were an evacuation or shelter has been recommended. This notification will be approved by the Emergency Director in Command and Control of PAR decision-making and off-site notifications, and performed as part of the State I local notifications described under Sections 11.8.4 and 11.E.3 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan.

4.3.4 Public Information

a. Publications Public information on protective actions is prepared and disseminated annually to provide clear instructions to the population-at-risk. Exelon Nuclear assi~ts PEMA/MEMA and risk counties in the preparation and distribution of their respective public information ..

Pamphlets outlining public education response actions are readily available for transients in the 10-Mile EPZ. In addition, emergency information is provided to the operators of other recreational areas in the 10-Mile EPZ, as defined by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State of Maryland and risk counties.

These public information publications (including telephone book emergency information, etc.) instruct the public to go indoors and turn on their radios when they hear the ANS sirens operating. These publications identify the local radio stations to which the public should tune in for information related to the emergency. Additional materials (e.g., such as rumor control numbers, evacuation routes, information on inadvertent siren soundings, etc.) may also be included in these publications based on agreements with responsible State and risk county agencies.

b. News Media Education Information kits are available to news media personnel. These kits include information on a variety of nuclear power plant related subjects.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-5 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear 4.3.5 Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) for the General Public To aid the Emergency Response Organization during a developing emergency situation, EP-AA-111, "Emergency Classification and Protective Action Recommendations" has been developed based on Section J.10.m of the Emergency Plan.

4.4 Protective Actions for Onsite Personnel 4.4.1 Plant Evacuation Exelon Nuclear personnel and contractors filling emergency response organization positions are considered essential personnel. As such, they will report to their emergency response locations. They will not evacuate unless specifically directed by the Emergency Director. All other personnel are considered non-essential.

In-plant evacuation is initiated primarily by area radiation monitor alarms and continuous air monitor alarms, but is also applicable for fire alarms, explosions, toxic material conditions, as well as radiation, contamination, and airborne radioactivity surveys which indicate conditions above applicable limits. Notification for personnel to proceed with in-plant evacuation will be via a local alarm or an announcement on the plant PA system. The affected area and evacuation assembly areas (if appropriate) will be announced. The immediate response by individuals in the vicinity of such an alarm or announcement is evacuation to an unaffected area or designed assembly area. In the absence of readily available radiological survey information or other logical assessment of conditions, evacuation will be, at least, to a point where other area radiation monitors, continuous air monitors, or observation of local conditions show that the area is not affected.

Assigned plant personnel report to the scene to evaluate conditions, to provide information to the Control Room, and to perform other emergency functions such as personnel accountability, decontamination, medical assistance, and control of the hazard.

Notification of a Site Evacuation is accomplished by activating the Evacuation Alarm System followed by an announcement over the plant PA system. The evacuation assembly area(s) are announced. Evacuation assembly areas are illustrated in Figure PBAPS 4-1. Non-essential personnel will exit via the security exit points and will proceed to the parking lot for transportation.

Evacuees are expected to use their personal vehicles in evacuating to the designated evacuation assembly area(s). Designated evacuation assembly areas are located out side the protected area. Plant access roads are maintained clear during the winter months, travel on these roads is expected to be possible at all times.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-6 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear Plant visitors who have not completed the required training program are escorted at all times. This ensures proper response under emergency conditions. Visitors at the station shall follow the lead of their escorts to the assembly areas.

4.4.2 Personnel Accountability The Security personnel shall follow security procedures for personnel accountability. For evacuations, information from evacuees is an important means of accounting for plant personnel. For Site Evacuations, non-essential personnel and those ERO members whose facility is located outside the Protected Area are accounted for at the security exit point. Emergency response personnel responding to the OSC within the Protected Area are accounted for by badging into designated card readers.

4.4.3 Monitoring of Evacuees Evacuees from the Peach Bottom Site are checked for contamination.

Necessary personnel and vehicle decontamination efforts are initiated at the evacuation assembly area using in-plant equipment or emergency kit supplies.

Priority for decontamination shall be given. to personnel found to have the highest levels of contamination. Any personnel suspected, or known, to have ingested or inhaled radioactive material shall be given a whole body count, as soon as conditions permit, to assess their internal exposure.

The registering and monitoring of the general public evacuating from the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ, as described in Section 11.J.12 of the Exelon Nuclear Standardized Radiological Emergency Plan, will occur at designated facilities per the respective State and County Radiological Emergency Response Plans.

4.5 Severe Accident Management Accident management consists of those actions taken during the course of an accident, by the Emergency Response Organization (ERO), specifically: plant operations, technical support, and plant management staff in order to:

  • Prevent the accident from progressing to core damage;
  • Terminate core damage once it begins;
  • Maintain the capability of the containment as long as possible; and
  • Minimize on-site and off-site releases and their effeds.

January 2017 PBAPS 4-7 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear The later three actions constitute a subset of accident management, referred to as Severe Accident Management (SAM) or severe accident mitigation. The Severe Accident Management Plan (SAMP) procedures provide sound technical strategies for maximizing the effectiveness of equipment and personnel in preventing, mitigating and terminating severe accidents.

Implementation of SAMP procedures is a collaborative effort between the Shift Manager and the Station Emergency Director in the TSC (once activated). The Station Emergency Director maintains ultimate responsibility for direction of mitigating strategies. Designated TSC Technical and Operations Support personnel are also trained to assist with decision-making by evaluating plant conditions using the SAM Technical Support Guidelines (TSG).

Meteorological monitoring is described in the PBAPS UFSAR.
b. Seismic Monitoring Seismic instrumentation includes time-history strong motion pressure triaxial seismic monitor accelerographs located in secondary containment. Peak recording accelerographs, and seismic switches are discussed in the PBAPS UFSAR.

5.2.2 Radiation Monitoring Equipment For radiological assessments, instrumentation includes area radiation monitors (ARMs), ventilation effluent radiation monitors, liquid effluent radiation monitors, stack effluent monitors, primary containment radiation monitors and miscellaneous process radiation monitors (Refer to PBAPS UFSAR Section 7 for additional information). Data from these sources would be augmented by plant and field surveys for radiation and airborne levels.

a. Radiological Effluent Gaseous Monitoring January 2017 PBAPS 5-2 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear PBAPS has five points of release of radioactive material to the atmosphere. These are the Main Off-Gas Stack, Units 2 and 3 Roof Vents and Torus Hardened Vents. Sample systems are installed for three pathways, Main Stack and two Roof Vents. The sample systems consist of isokinetic sample lines containing particulate/iodine filters, and separate sample lines to shielded gas chambers. Detector outputs associated with the gas chambers are recorded in the Control Room.

Roof Vent and Main Stack flow rates are also recorded in the Control Room.

The roof vent radiation monitoring system continuously monitors the noble gas being discharged from the Peach Bottom Unit 2 and Unit 3 roof vents. Each unit has two independent monitoring stations. The monitoring stations use scintillation detectors, which read out digitally in the Control Room.

A representative sample of the Torus Hardened Vent (THV) effluent can be obtained by utilizing the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS). The PASS is capable of sampling containment atmosphere prior to and during the use of the Torus Hardened Vent. The THV radiation monitoring system consists of GM type radiation detectors.

One monitor is externally mounted to the vent. Both monitors readout in cpm, and are displayed on a digital monitor in the Control Room.

The refuel floor exhaust is combined with other building exhaust streams and is monitored by the Ventilation Stack Radiation Monitoring system for each unit. All alarm functions and readouts are in the Main Control Room. There are also several Area Radiation Monitors on the refuel floors that provide both local and Main Control Room alarm and readout.

Peach Bottoms' gas chamber detector recorder readouts are converted to uCi/sec of noble gas using calibration data and effluent flow rates for each point of release. The uCi/sec Iodine and particulates are determined from the filter and charcoal cartridge samples. The dose projection system then relates meteorological and radiological data to project dose rates along the plume pathway for selected distances.

Appropriate atmospheric distribution coefficients are selected for distances of interest from the poi_nt of release. Dose rates at these distances are calculated using this data. *

b. Radiological Effluent Liquid Monitoring Liquid releases are made on a batch basis from waste sample tanks.

The contents of these tanks are circulated prior to sampling and analysis and release in the discharge canal. Release forms are prepared to authorize releases to the discharge canal. Potentially, plant system leaks could cause discharge to the canal directly.

Radiation monitors are located on certain process water systems that January 2017 PBAPS 5-3 EP-AA-1007 (Revision 32)

Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Annex Exelon Nuclear indicate abnormal radioactivity levels. A point of release sampling system is located at the end of the discharge canal.

c. Laboratory Facilities Chemical laboratories are in the Plant Entrance and Radiochemistry Laboratory (PEARL) at PBAPS. A radiochemistry section is provided.

The laboratories are adjacent to the counting room for convenience in transporting prepared samples for counting.

5.2.3 Data Acquisition Methods
