SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS | |||
(< | SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 1.0 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS 1.1 DEFINITIONS The terms defined in this section are those which are used in special context in this document or are unique to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. | ||
ACTUATE - | |||
To put into operation; to move to action. Commonly used to refer to automated, multi-faceted operations (e.g., "actuate ECCS"). | |||
AFFECTING SAFE SHUTDOWN - | |||
Event in progress has adversely affected functions that are necessary to bring the plant to and maintain it in the applicable Hot or Cold Shutdown condition. Plant condition applicability is determined by Technical Specification LCOs in effect. | |||
- | Example 1: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in Hot Shutdown. Hot Shutdown is achievable, but Cold Shutdown is not. This event is not "Affecting Safe Shutdown." | ||
Example 2: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in Cold Shutdown. Hot Shutdown is achievable, but Cold Shutdown is not. This event is "Affecting Safe Shutdown." | |||
ALARA-Acronym for "As Low as Reasonably Achievable," a basic concept of radiation protection that specifies that radioactive discharges from nuclear plants and radiation exposure to personnel be kept as far below regulation limits as feasible. | |||
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 exposure levels. | |||
- | AVAILABLE - | ||
The state or condition of being ready and able to be used (placed into operation) to accomplish the stated (or implied) action or function. As applied to a system, this requires the operability of necessary support systems (electrical power supplies, cooling water, lubrication, etc.). | |||
AREA RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM - | |||
An instrumentation system which measures radiation levels in various plant areas and alarms if abnormal radiation levels are detected. | |||
ASSEMBLY AREA - | |||
An area designated for the assembly of site personnel upon evacuation of the protected area. | |||

CAN / CANNOT BE MAINTAINED ABOVE / BELOW (< / >) - | |||
The value of the identified parameter(s) is / is not able to be kept above / below specified limits. This determination includes making an evaluation that considers both current and future system performance in relation to the current value and trend of the parameter(s). | |||
Neither implies that the parameter must actually exceed the limit before the action is taken nor that the action must be taken before the limit is reached. | |||
CAN / CANNOT BE RESTORED ABOVE I BELOW (< I >) - | |||
The value of the identified parameter(s) is / is not able to be returned to above / below specified limits after having passed those limits. This determination includes making an evaluation that considers both current and future systems performances in relation to the current value and trend of the parameter(s). It does not imply any specific time interval, but does not permit prolonged operation beyond a limit without taking the specified action. | |||
As applied to loss of electrical power sources (e.g., power cannot be restored to any vital bus in < 4 hours), the specified power source cannot be returned to service within the specified time. This determination includes making an evaluation that considers both current and future restoration capabilities. It implies that the declaration should be made as soon as the determination is made that the power source cannot be restored within the specified time. | |||
CIVIL DISTURBANCE - | |||
A group of persons violently protesting station operations or activities at the site. | |||
CLOSE - | |||
To position a valve or damper so as to prevent flow of the process fluid. To make an electrical connection to supply power. | |||

Specific EALs which constitute the four emergency classes are grouped into six event categories, which come from NEI 99-01, Revision 5. Whereas emergency classes indicate the severity of an emergency, event categories indicate the type or nature of the emergency. | Ir- z C6) | ||
The event categories are: A. Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent C. Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction E. Events Related to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations F. Fission Product Barrier Degradation H. Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety S. System Malfunction An event which meets the criteria of an EAL is identified and referenced by an event code which includes the event category, the emergency class, and the EAL number, as listed in EPIPs. This event code is used to indicate to station and offsite personnel the type, severity and specific plant conditions of a declared emergency. | E 0 m c) H 00 m -I LA -0 0 0 z 0 m z oz 0 m X | ||
Classification of Units 2/3 emergencies is also dependent upon plant status (mode).Plant conditions which constitute an emergency while operating at full power may be of less consequence when the plant is shutdown. | z z | ||
Thus, certain events which are classified as emergencies in some operating modes may be classified at a different level of emergency, or may not be classified as emergencies at all, in other operating modes.The applicability of each EAL to specific Units 2/3 modes is identified in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4. These modes are defined in the Technical Specifications and are summarized as follows: Mode 1: Power Operation Mode 2: Startup Mode 3: Hot Standby Mode 4: Hot Shutdown Mode 5: Cold Shutdown Mode 6: Refueling Revision 20 4-1 SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued) | 0RECOGNITION OF EMERGENCY 1 INITIAL ASSESSMENT CO" LASSIFY EMERGENCY | ||
If radiation monitor levels reach established levels in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs), an assessment of the offsite radiological dose will be performed using actual meteorology as an input. The classification of an emergency based on a radiological release will depend primarily on this dose assessment. | " NOTIFY OFFSITE AUTHORITIES Co INOTIFY STATION PERSONNEL qIOTIFY | ||
If the dose assessment is not complete in a timely manner, the event must be declared on the basis of the existence of valid radiation monitor readings that cannot be readily discounted. | . CORPORATE SUPPORT m | ||

Events that are not unit-specific such as security-related events will be declared as site-wide events. In addition, site-wide events are not dependent on Units 2/3 operating modes.The initial recognition and classification of all emergencies will be made by the Shift Manager in the Units 2/3 Control Room acting as the Emergency Coordinator in accordance with SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies, and subsequently by the Station Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator in the TSC, also in accordance with SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies. | U c/) | ||
When the EOF is activated, the responsibility for event classification will be retained by the Station Emergency Director in the TSC, who will classify the emergency based on plant conditions, announce the event to all site emergency response facilities and forward the information to the Corporate Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator at the EOF.Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4 describe the scope of the emergency classes, identify the EALs which constitute each class, and for Units 2/3, specifies applicable modes. Specific criteria for each Emergency Action Level are listed in EPIPs.4.1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT The Notification of Unusual Event classification is characterized by events that 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. | -0* | ||
No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating staff takes appropriate actions such as assessment and verification and comes to a state of readiness to respond, should the condition become more significant. | 0* 'D - *u a ( ACTIVATE OFFSITE EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION vI | ||

These Emergency Action Levels are based on postulated accidents, equipment malfunctions and other conditions of potential degradation of plant safety. Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are listed in EPIPs, and include objective criteria based on plant conditions. The EALs are also listed in the Manual of Emergency Events which has been provided to the offsite jurisdictions. | ||
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area. Total activation of the Emergency Response Facilities and offsite emergency organizations is required. | Emergency Action Levels are grouped into four emergency classes: Notification Of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The emergency class indicates the severity of the emergency, and determines the scope of response by station and offsite emergency response organizations. | ||
Protective actions involving offsite populations are highly probable.The General Emergency shall be declared following recognition of abnormal plant conditions. | Specific EALs which constitute the four emergency classes are grouped into six event categories, which come from NEI 99-01, Revision 5. Whereas emergency classes indicate the severity of an emergency, event categories indicate the type or nature of the emergency. The event categories are: | ||
For less apparent indications, emergency response personnel should ensure that an appropriate Alert or Site Area Emergency is in effect and determine the applicability of a General Emergency as soon as possible. | A. Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent C. Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction E. Events Related to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations F. Fission Product Barrier Degradation H. Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety S. System Malfunction An event which meets the criteria of an EAL is identified and referenced by an event code which includes the event category, the emergency class, and the EAL number, as listed in EPIPs. This event code is used to indicate to station and offsite personnel the type, severity and specific plant conditions of a declared emergency. | ||
NRC, State and local authorities will be notified as described in section 6.1.5.The TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC are required to be activated following the ERO notification of the declared General Emergency event. The TSC, OSC, and EOF are required to be activated and the JIC Director is required to report to the JIC within 90 minutes following ERO recall.In most cases, a General Emergency will involve conditions that exceed the design basis for the plant. Conditions which may constitute a General Emergency are discussed in SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.Revision 20 4-4 SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued) | Classification of Units 2/3 emergencies is also dependent upon plant status (mode). | ||
The EPIPs provide specific instructions to the ERO for response to this class of emergency including responsibilities, notification of offsite emergency organizations, mobilization of the ERO, methods for information flow, continuing assessment of radiation levels and plant systems status, and implementation of corrective and protective actions.4.2 SPECTRUM OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The classification of accidents and corresponding protective actions required relative to significant emergency conditions are based primarily on the resultant projected doses. Methods are described in this Plan and in EPIPs for projecting, measuring, and evaluating those doses.In nearly all cases, the proper response to an emergency condition requires a considerable degree of judgment by the Emergency Coordinator based on experience and knowledge. | Plant conditions which constitute an emergency while operating at full power may be of less consequence when the plant is shutdown. Thus, certain events which are classified as emergencies in some operating modes may be classified at a different level of emergency, or may not be classified as emergencies at all, in other operating modes. | ||
Discrete accidents are described in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2&3 FSAR and Dry Cask Storage FSAR. Discussion of these postulated accidents identifies the immediate indications which will be employed for prompt detection of an event and continued assessment of the consequences and plant status.Unit 1 is decommissioned. | The applicability of each EAL to specific Units 2/3 modes is identified in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4. These modes are defined in the Technical Specifications and are summarized as follows: | ||
There are no credible accidents applicable to Unit 1.The manpower needed to take immediate action directed at the minimization of damage to the plant and equipment, and to initiate protective measures for onsite and offsite individuals is provided by the normal shift operating crew. The composition of this around-the-clock crew, the emergency assignments for these individuals, and arrangements for augmentation with emergency response personnel are described in Section 5.Revision 20 4-5 SECTION 5 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES The onsite Emergency Response Organization, its augmentation and extension offsite are discussed in this section. Included are the authorities and responsibilities of key individuals and groups, and a description of the communication links for notifying, alerting, and mobilizing emergency response personnel. | Mode 1: Power Operation Mode 2: Startup Mode 3: Hot Standby Mode 4: Hot Shutdown Mode 5: Cold Shutdown Mode 6: Refueling Revision 20 4-1 | ||
The organization of onsite emergency response personnel and offsite support agencies is shown in Figure 5-1.5.1 NORMAL OPERATING ORGANIZATION The non-emergency SONGS operating organization is found on the Edison International Web Page under the Organization Chart. The diagram illustrates levels and lines of responsibility within the station. The minimum shift crew at all times is shown in Table 5-5. The Units 2/3 minimum shift staffing levels provide personnel sufficient to perform the functions required of on shift emergency responders and emergency responders called in within 30 minutes in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654. | |||
Personnel responding to postulated events at Unit 1 and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)are assigned by the Shift Manager from available on shift resources. | SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued) | ||
Personnel are available on each shift who are trained in firefighting, first aid, and the use of radiation monitoring equipment. | If radiation monitor levels reach established levels in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs), an assessment of the offsite radiological dose will be performed using actual meteorology as an input. The classification of an emergency based on a radiological release will depend primarily on this dose assessment. If the dose assessment is not complete in a timely manner, the event must be declared on the basis of the existence of valid radiation monitor readings that cannot be readily discounted. EPIPs will establish radiation monitor values that trigger the declaration of certain emergency events. The radiation monitor values are established assuming annual average meteorology values. An assessment of the offsite dose consequences will continue even if the event is declared based on radiation monitor readings. | ||
The SONGS Operations shift, under the direction of the Shift Manager, is responsible for the safe and proper operation of the plant at all times. The Operations shift will respond to all abnormal and emergency situations and take action as necessary to mitigate the consequences of and/or terminate any accident.The shift organization will be self-reliant for a sufficient period of time to allow for the notification of the required personnel and the assembly and integration of those personnel into the Emergency Response Organization. | Unit 1 is decommissioned. Only one EAL is applicable to the ISFSI (HU1.1) and is discussed in SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.

In addition, site-wide events are not dependent on Units 2/3 operating modes. | ||
The SM/ASM will be responsible for the initial assessment and evaluation of any abnormal or emergency situation and for directing the appropriate response. | The initial recognition and classification of all emergencies will be made by the Shift Manager in the Units 2/3 Control Room acting as the Emergency Coordinator in accordance with SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies, and subsequently by the Station Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator in the TSC, also in accordance with SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies. When the EOF is activated, the responsibility for event classification will be retained by the Station Emergency Director in the TSC, who will classify the emergency based on plant conditions, announce the event to all site emergency response facilities and forward the information to the Corporate Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator at the EOF. | ||
Once relieved by the Station Emergency Director in the TSC or the Corporate Emergency Director in the Emergency Operations Facility, or by their designated alternates, the SM/ASM will be responsible for maintaining control over plant operations. | Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4 describe the scope of the emergency classes, identify the EALs which constitute each class, and for Units 2/3, specifies applicable modes. Specific criteria for each Emergency Action Level are listed in EPIPs. | ||
The Shift Manager will have the Units 2/3 Operations shift personnel reporting to him or her. The SM/ASM will delegate control room personnel to make initial notifications per section 6.1.5 and will ensure appropriate site emergency public address announcements are made and coordinated with on-site siren activation. | 4.1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT The Notification of Unusual Event classification is characterized by events that 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. | ||
The SM/ASM will maintain contact with the Operations staff of the unaffected units.Revision 29 5-1 SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES (Continued) | The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating staff takes appropriate actions such as assessment and verification and comes to a state of readiness to respond, should the condition become more significant. The Notification of Unusual Event classification also requires that state and local offsite authorities are informed of abnormal conditions at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. With the exception of possible assistance by local support groups such as fire departments or medical facilities, no response is necessary by offsite organizations for events within this classification. Upon declaration of a Notification of Unusual Event, notification of the NRC, State and local authorities will be initiated as described in section 6.1.5. | ||
During off-normal conditions the SM/ASM shall ensure technical evaluation of plant conditions and parameters and an independent overview of plant safety. During transients and accidents, the SM/ASM will compare existing critical parameters with those predicted in operating procedures and other appropriate documents to ascertain whether the plant is responding to the incident as predicted. | Revision 20 4-2 | ||
The SM/ASM will formulate a plan for appropriate corrective action. The SMIASM will make a qualitative assessment of plant parameters during and following an accident.0 ISFSI Events The SM/ASM in the Units 2/3 control room will assume the role of Emergency Coordinator, directing resources to respond to an ISFSI event. The SM/ASM will designate a qualified operator to assume the duties of the Operations Leader for Units 2 and 3, who will then observe ISFSI changing conditions. | |||

This staff may be augmented as necessary to ensure a proper recovery effort. | |||
9.1.2 LONG TERM RECOVERY PLAN 9.1.2.1 Introduction The experiences at Three Mile Island suggest that SONGS (if experiencing a similar situation) could need resources beyond inhouse capabilities in order to minimize public consequences following a nuclear accident. Such resources properly organized and readily available would provide an additional measure of protection to the public. | |||
9.1.2.2 Discussion Following a nuclear accident, a utility may encounter significant problems in fully utilizing resources supplied from outside the plant organization, particularly if these resources must be supplied from outside of SCE. | |||
Such problems may include: | |||
* Internal and external communication | |||
* Definition of regulatory and governmental interfaces | * Definition of regulatory and governmental interfaces | ||
* Availability of recovery equipment and supplies* Use of specialized disciplines and skills This recovery plan provides a preplanned organizational approach as a framework within which SONGS 1, 2 and 3 can respond to the specific emergency conditions which may occur but for which the detailed situation cannot be fully foreseen in advance. Use will be made of existing SCE capabilities, facilities and equipment supplemented if necessary by a national inventory of personnel and material. | * Availability of recovery equipment and supplies | ||
This national inventory is maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).The necessity for a long term recovery organization presumes the declaration of a Site Area or General Emergency, and that at either level, NRC concurrence will, in all likelihood, be a prerequisite to restart.Accordingly, the typical organization provided for in this plan should be tailored and augmented with this consideration in mind and depending upon the particular circumstances. | * Use of specialized disciplines and skills This recovery plan provides a preplanned organizational approach as a framework within which SONGS 1, 2 and 3 can respond to the specific emergency conditions which may occur but for which the detailed situation cannot be fully foreseen in advance. Use will be made of existing SCE capabilities, facilities and equipment supplemented if necessary by a national inventory of personnel and material. This national inventory is maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). | ||
Revision 15 9-2 SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY (Continued) 9.1.2.3 Critical Elements of the Recovery Plan The SONGS Emergency Plan has detailed the immediate response required for an emergency condition existing at the plant. This immediate response makes use of SCE personnel, facilities, and equipment and is directed toward stabilizing plant conditions and terminating or minimizing offsite radiological releases.However, the emergency condition might be of such magnitude, nature, or be so time consuming that the recovery efforts overextend the SCE resources and additional support would be required in the following areas:* Manpower to augment SCE's operative personnel* Manpower in specialized disciplines beyond the capability of SCE resources, such as consultants for special technical problems* Additional and more specialized emergency response equipment and services SONGS recovery personnel must be able to request and receive this type of support from interior sources. This plan identifies certain sources of support that SONGS will be able to call upon in a severe emergency. | The necessity for a long term recovery organization presumes the declaration of a Site Area or General Emergency, and that at either level, NRC concurrence will, in all likelihood, be a prerequisite to restart. | ||
Separate prearranged agreements have been developed to cover compensation, insurance and other considerations associated with the use of external support.9.1.2.4 Recovery Organization Figure 9-1 shows the typical key positions of the Recovery Organization for SONGS. A Recovery Organization will be activated when a long term recovery effort is required. | Accordingly, the typical organization provided for in this plan should be tailored and augmented with this consideration in mind and depending upon the particular circumstances. | ||

SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 1.0 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS 1.1 DEFINITIONS The terms defined in this section are those which are used in special context in this document or are unique to the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
ACTUATE -
To put into operation; to move to action. Commonly used to refer to automated, multi-faceted operations (e.g., "actuate ECCS").
AFFECTING SAFE SHUTDOWN -
Event in progress has adversely affected functions that are necessary to bring the plant to and maintain it in the applicable Hot or Cold Shutdown condition. Plant condition applicability is determined by Technical Specification LCOs in effect.
Example 1: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in Hot Shutdown. Hot Shutdown is achievable, but Cold Shutdown is not. This event is not "Affecting Safe Shutdown."
Example 2: Event causes damage that results in entry into an LCO that requires the plant to be placed in Cold Shutdown. Hot Shutdown is achievable, but Cold Shutdown is not. This event is "Affecting Safe Shutdown."
ALARA-Acronym for "As Low as Reasonably Achievable," a basic concept of radiation protection that specifies that radioactive discharges from nuclear plants and radiation exposure to personnel be kept as far below regulation limits as feasible.
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 exposure levels.
AVAILABLE -
The state or condition of being ready and able to be used (placed into operation) to accomplish the stated (or implied) action or function. As applied to a system, this requires the operability of necessary support systems (electrical power supplies, cooling water, lubrication, etc.).
AREA RADIATION MONITORING SYSTEM -
An instrumentation system which measures radiation levels in various plant areas and alarms if abnormal radiation levels are detected.
ASSEMBLY AREA -
An area designated for the assembly of site personnel upon evacuation of the protected area.
BOMB -
Refers to an explosive device suspected of having sufficient force to damage plant systems or structures.

cannot be ascertained using all available indications (direct and indirect, singly or in combination).
CAN / CANNOT BE MAINTAINED ABOVE / BELOW (< / >) -
The value of the identified parameter(s) is / is not able to be kept above / below specified limits. This determination includes making an evaluation that considers both current and future system performance in relation to the current value and trend of the parameter(s).
Neither implies that the parameter must actually exceed the limit before the action is taken nor that the action must be taken before the limit is reached.
CAN / CANNOT BE RESTORED ABOVE I BELOW (< I >) -
The value of the identified parameter(s) is / is not able to be returned to above / below specified limits after having passed those limits. This determination includes making an evaluation that considers both current and future systems performances in relation to the current value and trend of the parameter(s). It does not imply any specific time interval, but does not permit prolonged operation beyond a limit without taking the specified action.
As applied to loss of electrical power sources (e.g., power cannot be restored to any vital bus in < 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />), the specified power source cannot be returned to service within the specified time. This determination includes making an evaluation that considers both current and future restoration capabilities. It implies that the declaration should be made as soon as the determination is made that the power source cannot be restored within the specified time.
CIVIL DISTURBANCE -

SECTION 3
SUMMARY
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN This Plan describes the emergency preparedness program implemented by SCE, which, when coupled with Federal, State and local plans, ensures the capability and the readiness for coping with and mitigating both onsite and offsite consequences of emergencies. The Plan describes the spectrum of emergencies ranging from minor events requiring only minimum response by SCE to emergencies requiring protective actions by offsite jurisdictions. Guidelines for immediate response, assessment activities, emergency actions, and emergency support functions are included in this Plan. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) provide detailed instructions for individuals who have specific emergency responsibilities and/or functions. The Manual of Emergency Events is a separate document provided to assist offsite emergency response personnel in understanding the SONGS facilities, the terminology used, the risks associated with exposure to radiation, and the kinds and magnitude of accidents which could occur.
A graded scale of response for distinct classifications of emergency conditions, actions appropriate for those classifications, and criteria for escalation to a more severe classification (or de-escalation ifappropriate) is provided. This system of classification is compatible with the system used by Federal, State and local governmental agencies. For conditions which involve offsite radiological considerations, this Plan and those of the State and local agencies relate action criteria to the magnitude of a release (or potential release) of radioactive material and the resultant projected offsite dose to the general populace. The State and local agency plans provide guidelines for action, based on assessment of the release, dose-estimate information, and protective action recommendations provided by the SONGS Emergency Coordinator.
The organization for control of emergencies is initially staffed by on-shift Station personnel and contains provisions for augmentation by additional Site personnel, SCE Corporate personnel, SCE contractor personnel, and offsite emergency response organizations.
SONGS personnel and SCE support personnel are responsible for onsite emergency actions and limited offsite activities, such as initial offsite radiological monitoring.
The total emergency program includes support by local, State, and Federal emergency organizations. Detailed provisions are made for implementing protective actions against direct radiation and inhalation of radioactive material for members of the public within the plume exposure EPZ. Additional protective actions may be taken beyond that distance to prevent ingestion pathway exposures.
Specific arrangements and agreements are made with local offsite organizations to provide:
" Backup emergency medical transportation
- Hospital medical treatment
" Backup fire and rescue
- Law enforcement and traffic control
" Radiological monitoring Local, State, and Federal agencies having lead responsibilities specifically related to this Plan are:
- Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton - the organization responsible for implementing emergency response actions at Camp Pendleton upon direct notification from SONGS.
- Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Emergency Management - the agency responsible for coordinating local emergency response within the unincorporated areas of Orange County.

Revision 20 3-2
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN (Continued) 3.1 EMERGENCY CLASSES Emergencies are grouped into four emergency classes. The four classes, each identified by specific Emergency Action Levels, assure a proper level of response to a broad spectrum of possible emergencies.
3.1.1 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. No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs.
3.1.2 ALERT Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of HOSTILE ACTION. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
3.1.3 SITE AREA EMERGENCY Events are in progress or have occurred which involve an 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 Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
3.1.4 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 Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area.
All onsite and offsite emergency groups, organizations and agencies are activated at the ALERT level. These organizations will respond with emergency actions according to plans specific to their jurisdictions.
Revision 20 3-3
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN (Continued) 3.2 ONSITE EMERGENCY COORDINATION Overall direction and coordination of onsite emergency responses lie with the Emergency Coordinator. The position of Emergency Coordinator commences with the declaration of an emergency event and is filled by the Shift Manager until the arrival of the Station Emergency Director, upon activation of the Technical Support Center and ultimately by the Corporate Emergency Director, upon activation of the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF).
3.2.1 ACTIVATION The first Station individual who becomes aware of an emergency condition ensures that details are provided to the Control Room. This recognition and the activation of emergency response may also be from Control Room instrumentation. Appropriate initial action is taken in accordance with Abnormal Operating Instructions/ Emergency Operating Instructions and/or other Station instructions or procedures (such as shutting down or operating certain plant equipment or systems).
Upon recognition of emergency conditions, the Shift Manager classifies the event, activating the Emergency Plan. The Shift Manager then declares the event and assumes the role of Emergency Coordinator until relieved by the Station Emergency Director, or designated alternate, upon activation of the Technical Support Center. The Station Emergency Director or Corporate Emergency Director may assume the role of Emergency Coordinator while in any emergency class. Ultimately, the role of Emergency Coordinator is assumed by the Corporate Emergency Director, or designated alternate, upon activation of the EOF.
3.2.2 NOTIFICATION The Emergency Coordinator ensures the activation and alerting of appropriate onsite and offsite emergency response personnel and organizations. Offsite notification methods for various emergency conditions are discussed in Section 6, and are summarized as follows:
" Requests for assistance, such as firefighting and medical transportation, from local offsite support agencies may be made by telephone directly to the individual agencies.
- Notification of offsite authorities shall commence within 15 minutes after the declaration of a Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. Notification to offsite authorities of a Notification of Unusual Event is primarily to ensure that those agencies are cognizant of the details of events which may arouse public concern. The agencies notified are listed in Section 6.1.5.
Message authenticity is assured by using the Yellow Phone System because it is a dedicated system. Other dedicated telephone circuits are provided for notification of the Cal OES and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Backup notification methods are provided by utilizing the Telephone Company System. Notification of the NRC of an emergency declaration will be made in accordance with 10CFR50.72 which requires such notification to commence immediately after notification to the state and local agencies but not later than one hour after declaration.
- Follow-up notifications will be made to offsite jurisdictions as changes in the plant conditions dictate.
Revision 20 3-4
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN (Continued) 3.2.3 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS Initial assessment of the nature and severity of an emergency condition will be performed by personnel at the scene. However, the overall responsibility for assessment of an emergency condition and declaration of a specific emergency event classification lies with the Emergency Coordinator. Assessment will be based on all pertinent information including readings of radiological and non-radiological Control Room instrumentation, inspection of the situation, appropriate radiological surveys, recommendations from the Shift Manager/Assistant Shift Manager Units 2/3, and personal judgment. Assessment actions will continue for the duration of the emergency.
3.2.4 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS All appropriate measures will be taken to mitigate the effects of an emergency and return conditions to normal operating status. Necessary elements of the Emergency Response Organization will be activated as appropriate for the situation. Teams will be activated and dispatched to care for injured persons, provide damage control, fight fires, perform rescue missions, perform radiological monitoring, decontaminate personnel or areas, ensure Station security, or direct site evacuation. The Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility, and Joint Information Center (JIC) will be activated to augment resources following declaration of an Alert or more serious emergency. The Technical Support Center, the Operations Support Center and the Emergency Operations Facility may be activated ifrequired by the Emergency Coordinator at the Notification of Unusual Event level. In a security emergency or any other event where conditions may prevent the ability to activate normal emergency response facilities, emergency response personnel may respond to staging locations or staff an alternate facility.
3.2.5 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Risk to personnel will be minimized. Personnel will be evacuated from any area where high levels of radiation or other hazardous conditions exist provided the evacuation does not pose a greater hazard. Under conditions where it is hazardous for personnel to evacuate, direction will be provided for personnel to either take cover or shelter in appropriate locations.
Personnel performing emergency functions in radiation areas will utilize appropriate radiation protection equipment and procedures, and exposure will be limited in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR20, the criteria set forth in the International Commission on Radiation Protection Publication No. 28, "Principles and General Procedures for Handling Emergency and Accidental Exposures of Workers" and EPA-400/R-92-001 "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents." Onsite facilities are available for radiological monitoring, personnel decontamination, and first aid.
Firefighters and a licensed ambulance are onsite 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day, 7 days a week. The onsite Firefighters and the ambulance are certified by the State of California. In addition, letters of agreement (enclosed in Appendix A) have been made with local ambulance services (as backup means), physicians and hospitals for transportation and treatment of contaminated injured personnel.
Revision 20 3-5
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN (Continued) 3.2.6 RECOVERY ACTIONS This Plan contains provisions for logical and orderly supplementation of onsite emergency staffing as conditions change from controlling the emergency and minimizing its consequences to those involved with recovery efforts. In the event of an emergency affecting plant systems, normal operations will be resumed only after damaged systems have been repaired, all required investigation(s) have been completed, and operating approvals have been obtained.
3.3 OFFSITE EMERGENCY COORDINATION Offsite emergency response agencies will activate emergency operations centers and send liaison representatives to the Emergency Operations Facility when an Emergency Action Level of Alert or higher is declared. The EOF is an SCE-controlled and operated onsite emergency response facility. The EOF provides the required space and equipment to allow management of SCE's overall emergency response efforts, coordination of radiological and environmental assessment, determination of recommended public protective actions, and coordination of emergency response activities with federal, state and local agencies through their liaison representatives.
Offsite response agency plans and procedures provide for:
- Rapid notification to the general public of the existence of a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency and periodic updates concerning conditions
- Monitoring of the environment to determine actual or projected population exposures
- Evacuation and/or sheltering of the population-at-risk
- Aid to affected persons
- Liaison with Cal OES and other local agencies
- Coordination of press information with SCE
- Re-entry of evacuated areas Responsibilities and emergency response capabilities of the various offsite agencies are addressed in their respective plans.
3.3.1 OFFSITE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Upon declaration of an emergency, the Emergency Coordinator will direct the Shift Communicator or designee to contact the offsite agencies listed in Section 6.1.5 and Cal OES. The Emergency Coordinator will also direct a licensed operator or designee to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The SCE Generation Operation Center staff will then notify the organizations on a special callout list. Provisions have been made to alert and evacuate persons on the beach directly in front of the Station immediately. This is performed upon request of State Parks or if an event related release of radiation occurs at the Alert level and automatically following the declaration of a Site Area or General Emergency.
The Emergency Coordinator will provide recommendations to offsite agencies concerning the advisability or necessity of protective actions for persons in affected areas. All offsite agencies have prepared plans and procedures within their jurisdictions to ensure that proper actions can be taken in a timely and orderly fashion.

SECTION 4 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS 4.1 CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCIES Specific conditions requiring declaration of an emergency have been identified to ensure accurate and timely response by emergency response organizations. These Emergency Action Levels are based on postulated accidents, equipment malfunctions and other conditions of potential degradation of plant safety. Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are listed in EPIPs, and include objective criteria based on plant conditions. The EALs are also listed in the Manual of Emergency Events which has been provided to the offsite jurisdictions.
Emergency Action Levels are grouped into four emergency classes: Notification Of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The emergency class indicates the severity of the emergency, and determines the scope of response by station and offsite emergency response organizations.
Specific EALs which constitute the four emergency classes are grouped into six event categories, which come from NEI 99-01, Revision 5. Whereas emergency classes indicate the severity of an emergency, event categories indicate the type or nature of the emergency. The event categories are:
A. Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent C. Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction E. Events Related to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations F. Fission Product Barrier Degradation H. Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety S. System Malfunction An event which meets the criteria of an EAL is identified and referenced by an event code which includes the event category, the emergency class, and the EAL number, as listed in EPIPs. This event code is used to indicate to station and offsite personnel the type, severity and specific plant conditions of a declared emergency.
Classification of Units 2/3 emergencies is also dependent upon plant status (mode).
Plant conditions which constitute an emergency while operating at full power may be of less consequence when the plant is shutdown. Thus, certain events which are classified as emergencies in some operating modes may be classified at a different level of emergency, or may not be classified as emergencies at all, in other operating modes.
The applicability of each EAL to specific Units 2/3 modes is identified in Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4. These modes are defined in the Technical Specifications and are summarized as follows:
Mode 1: Power Operation Mode 2: Startup Mode 3: Hot Standby Mode 4: Hot Shutdown Mode 5: Cold Shutdown Mode 6: Refueling Revision 20 4-1
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued)
If radiation monitor levels reach established levels in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs), an assessment of the offsite radiological dose will be performed using actual meteorology as an input. The classification of an emergency based on a radiological release will depend primarily on this dose assessment. If the dose assessment is not complete in a timely manner, the event must be declared on the basis of the existence of valid radiation monitor readings that cannot be readily discounted. EPIPs will establish radiation monitor values that trigger the declaration of certain emergency events. The radiation monitor values are established assuming annual average meteorology values. An assessment of the offsite dose consequences will continue even if the event is declared based on radiation monitor readings.
Unit 1 is decommissioned. Only one EAL is applicable to the ISFSI (HU1.1) and is discussed in SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases. There are no credible accidents applicable to Unit 1, since Unit 1 has been decommissioned.
Events that are not unit-specific such as security-related events will be declared as site-wide events. In addition, site-wide events are not dependent on Units 2/3 operating modes.
The initial recognition and classification of all emergencies will be made by the Shift Manager in the Units 2/3 Control Room acting as the Emergency Coordinator in accordance with SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies, and subsequently by the Station Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator in the TSC, also in accordance with SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies. When the EOF is activated, the responsibility for event classification will be retained by the Station Emergency Director in the TSC, who will classify the emergency based on plant conditions, announce the event to all site emergency response facilities and forward the information to the Corporate Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator at the EOF.
Sections 4.1.1 through 4.1.4 describe the scope of the emergency classes, identify the EALs which constitute each class, and for Units 2/3, specifies applicable modes. Specific criteria for each Emergency Action Level are listed in EPIPs.
4.1.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT The Notification of Unusual Event classification is characterized by events that 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.
The primary purpose for this classification is to ensure that the plant operating staff takes appropriate actions such as assessment and verification and comes to a state of readiness to respond, should the condition become more significant. The Notification of Unusual Event classification also requires that state and local offsite authorities are informed of abnormal conditions at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. With the exception of possible assistance by local support groups such as fire departments or medical facilities, no response is necessary by offsite organizations for events within this classification. Upon declaration of a Notification of Unusual Event, notification of the NRC, State and local authorities will be initiated as described in section 6.1.5.
Revision 20 4-2
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued)
Conditions which may constitute a Notification of Unusual Event classification are discussed in SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
The EPIPs provide specific instructions taken for Notification of an Unusual Event including responsibilities, notification of offsite emergency organizations, mobilization of the ERO, and will be in accordance with the applicable EPIPs. These procedures provide specific instructions to Station personnel for response to these conditions.
4.1.2 ALERT The Alert classification is characterized by events that 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 EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.
An Alert classification requires response by the augmentation of the onshift emergency organization and constitutes the lowest level where offsite emergency response may be anticipated. The TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC are required to be activated following the ERO notification of the declared Alert event. The TSC, OSC, and EOF are required to be activated and the JIC Director is required to report to the JIC within 90 minutes following ERO recall. The Alert shall be declared as soon as possible following recognition of abnormal plant conditions. All reasonable efforts shall be implemented to make this verification promptly. Notification of NRC, State and local authorities will be initiated as described in section 6.1.5.
Conditions which may constitute an Alert classification are discussed in SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1 Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
The EPIPs provide specific instructions to the ERO for response to this class of emergency including providing for the activation of emergency facilities and mobilization of the ERO to ensure readiness in the event the situation becomes more serious.
These procedures also provide ERO responsibilities, notification of offsite emergency organizations, methods for information flow, continuing monitoring and assessment of radiation levels and plant systems status, and implementation of corrective and protective actions.
4.1.3 SITE AREA EMERGENCY The Site Area Emergency classification is characterized by events that are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or HOSTILE ACTION that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.
Revision 20 4-3
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued)
Although emergency actions involving members of the public may not be necessary, offsite emergency response organizations should be mobilized and ready to implement protective measures. The Site Area Emergency shall be declared as soon as possible following recognition of abnormal plant conditions. All reasonable efforts shall be implemented to make this verification promptly. NRC, State and local authorities will be notified as described in section 6.1.5.
The TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC are required to be activated following the ERO notification of the declared Site Area Emergency event. The TSC, OSC, and EOF are required to be activated and the JIC Director is required to report to the JIC within 90 minutes following ERO recall.
Conditions which may constitute a Site Area Emergency are discussed in S01 23-VII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
The EPIPs provide specific instructions to the ERO for response to this class of emergency including responsibilities, notification of offsite emergency organizations, mobilization of the ERO, methods for information flow, continuing assessment of radiation levels and plant systems status, and implementation of corrective and protective actions.
4.1.4 GENERAL EMERGENCY The General Emergency classification is characterized by events that 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 Protective Action Guideline exposure levels off-site for more than the immediate site area. Total activation of the Emergency Response Facilities and offsite emergency organizations is required. Protective actions involving offsite populations are highly probable.
The General Emergency shall be declared following recognition of abnormal plant conditions. For less apparent indications, emergency response personnel should ensure that an appropriate Alert or Site Area Emergency is in effect and determine the applicability of a General Emergency as soon as possible. NRC, State and local authorities will be notified as described in section 6.1.5.
The TSC, OSC, EOF and JIC are required to be activated following the ERO notification of the declared General Emergency event. The TSC, OSC, and EOF are required to be activated and the JIC Director is required to report to the JIC within 90 minutes following ERO recall.
In most cases, a General Emergency will involve conditions that exceed the design basis for the plant. Conditions which may constitute a General Emergency are discussed in SO123-VIII-1, Recognition and Classification of Emergencies and in the SONGS EPSD-1, Emergency Action Level Technical Bases.
Revision 20 4-4
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (continued)
The EPIPs provide specific instructions to the ERO for response to this class of emergency including responsibilities, notification of offsite emergency organizations, mobilization of the ERO, methods for information flow, continuing assessment of radiation levels and plant systems status, and implementation of corrective and protective actions.
4.2 SPECTRUM OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The classification of accidents and corresponding protective actions required relative to significant emergency conditions are based primarily on the resultant projected doses. Methods are described in this Plan and in EPIPs for projecting, measuring, and evaluating those doses.
In nearly all cases, the proper response to an emergency condition requires a considerable degree of judgment by the Emergency Coordinator based on experience and knowledge.
Discrete accidents are described in the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Units 2&3 FSAR and Dry Cask Storage FSAR. Discussion of these postulated accidents identifies the immediate indications which will be employed for prompt detection of an event and continued assessment of the consequences and plant status.
Unit 1 is decommissioned. There are no credible accidents applicable to Unit 1.
The manpower needed to take immediate action directed at the minimization of damage to the plant and equipment, and to initiate protective measures for onsite and offsite individuals is provided by the normal shift operating crew. The composition of this around-the-clock crew, the emergency assignments for these individuals, and arrangements for augmentation with emergency response personnel are described in Section 5.
Revision 20 4-5
SECTION 5 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES The onsite Emergency Response Organization, its augmentation and extension offsite are discussed in this section. Included are the authorities and responsibilities of key individuals and groups, and a description of the communication links for notifying, alerting, and mobilizing emergency response personnel. The organization of onsite emergency response personnel and offsite support agencies is shown in Figure 5-1.
5.1 NORMAL OPERATING ORGANIZATION The non-emergency SONGS operating organization is found on the Edison International Web Page under the Organization Chart. The diagram illustrates levels and lines of responsibility within the station. The minimum shift crew at all times is shown in Table 5-5. The Units 2/3 minimum shift staffing levels provide personnel sufficient to perform the functions required of on shift emergency responders and emergency responders called in within 30 minutes in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654. Personnel responding to postulated events at Unit 1 and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) are assigned by the Shift Manager from available on shift resources. Personnel are available on each shift who are trained in firefighting, first aid, and the use of radiation monitoring equipment.
The SONGS Operations shift, under the direction of the Shift Manager, is responsible for the safe and proper operation of the plant at all times. The Operations shift will respond to all abnormal and emergency situations and take action as necessary to mitigate the consequences of and/or terminate any accident.
The shift organization will be self-reliant for a sufficient period of time to allow for the notification of the required personnel and the assembly and integration of those personnel into the Emergency Response Organization.
5.1.1 SHIFT MANAGE R/ASSISTANT SHIFT MANAGER Units 2/3 Events and Site-Wide Events The Shift Manager/Assistant Shift Manager (SM/ASM) initially assumes the duties of the Emergency Coordinator. The SM/ASM will be responsible for the initial assessment and evaluation of any abnormal or emergency situation and for directing the appropriate response. Once relieved by the Station Emergency Director in the TSC or the Corporate Emergency Director in the Emergency Operations Facility, or by their designated alternates, the SM/ASM will be responsible for maintaining control over plant operations.
The Shift Manager will have the Units 2/3 Operations shift personnel reporting to him or her. The SM/ASM will delegate control room personnel to make initial notifications per section 6.1.5 and will ensure appropriate site emergency public address announcements are made and coordinated with on-site siren activation. The SM/ASM will maintain contact with the Operations staff of the unaffected units.
Revision 29 5-1
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES (Continued)
During off-normal conditions the SM/ASM shall ensure technical evaluation of plant conditions and parameters and an independent overview of plant safety. During transients and accidents, the SM/ASM will compare existing critical parameters with those predicted in operating procedures and other appropriate documents to ascertain whether the plant is responding to the incident as predicted. The SM/ASM will formulate a plan for appropriate corrective action. The SMIASM will make a qualitative assessment of plant parameters during and following an accident.
0 ISFSI Events The SM/ASM in the Units 2/3 control room will assume the role of Emergency Coordinator, directing resources to respond to an ISFSI event. The SM/ASM will designate a qualified operator to assume the duties of the Operations Leader for Units 2 and 3, who will then observe ISFSI changing conditions. The Operations Leader will communicate with the SM/ASM/Emergency Coordinator during an emergency.
5.1.2 RADIATION PROTECTION SUPERVISOR The Radiation Protection Supervisor will initially be responsible for coordinating the in-plant radiological controls and supervising all available Radiation Protection personnel until such time as the Radiation Protection Supervisor is relieved by the Radiation Protection Manager or designated alternate. The Radiation Protection Supervisor will prioritize actions to provide assistance in radiological access control, dose projections, and assembly area monitoring. The Radiation Protection Supervisor will also provide radiological control coverage for emergency repair, search and rescue, first aid, firefighting, and other activities. If necessary, the Radiation Protection Supervisor can field a radiological monitoring team.
5.1.3 RADIATION PROTECTION TECHNICIANS The Radiation Protection Technicians will report to their designated Emergency Response Facility.
5.1.4 SHIFT COMMUNICATOR A Shift Communicator Qualified person assumes the position of Shift Communicator when directed by the Shift Manager or Station Emergency Director. The Shift Communicator will ensure the ERO Recall System is activated, event and follow-up notifications are made to state, local and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within administratively established time requirements. Responsibility for these duties will be transferred if able, to the EOF or TSC when the Emergency Coordinator duties are transferred. The Shift Communicator will also make contact with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and provide initial notification of the emergency declaration and maintain open communications if requested.

Assistance will be requested from outside medical support personnel or organizations as deemed necessary by the Battalion Chief.
- Radiological Monitoring Prior to the activation of the entire Emergency Response Organization, the Emergency Coordinator may request that radiological monitoring teams be dispatched. Onsite radiological monitoring is supported by the dispatch of on-shift RP Technicians under the direction of the RP Supervisor. They are responsible for performing radiological surveys and for assisting in decontamination activities as assigned. Offsite monitoring beyond the Owner Controlled Area is supported by utilizing the Fixed Environ Monitors described in Section 7.3.1.1 and Table 7-6.
Information provided by these monitors is available in the Control Room and can be utilized for dose assessment and projections. Additional field monitoring personnel are available with the activation of the Operations Support Center and Emergency Operations Facility.
0 Security and Personnel Accountability The SONGS Security Force will operate by the requirements established in the Physical Security Plan, the Safeguards Contingency Plan, Security Procedures, and the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures. Safeguard measures may be temporarily suspended by the Emergency Coordinator, or designee, as necessary to facilitate response to emergency conditions. The SONGS Security Force will report to the Security Leader in emergency situations. The Security Leader will in turn report to the Station Emergency Director.
The Security Force will respond and provide assistance as required to maintain the security of the site. Security will be responsible for performing protected area personnel accountability and facilitating site assembly or evacuation.
Provisions have been made in the Physical Security Plan for expediting access of emergency response vehicles. Security will, as appropriate, escort such vehicles to the proper location.
Revision 29 5-3
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES (Continued) 5.2 ONSITE EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION Figure 5-1 shows the structure of the SONGS Emergency Response Organization. The ERO will begin with the minimum shift crew and will expand to include additional personnel as they are needed and available. Individuals assigned to emergency response leader positions are qualified in accordance with the Emergency Plan Training Program described in Section 8.0.
Table 5-1 summarizes the duties of the Emergency Response Organization leader and staff positions. Table 5-2 identifies station personnel typically assigned to emergency response leader positions. Minimum Emergency Response Organization staff positions for each Emergency Response Facility are provided in Table 5-4.
Table 5-5 reflects the results of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities analysis. The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities analysis is retained under Records Processing Agreement (RPA) 02-0080.
During protracted emergencies when the plant is stable and there is no threat of escalation of the emergency, the Emergency Coordinator may authorize continued response to the emergency with a subset of the emergency response organization.
The Vice President and Site Manager, is ultimately responsible for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the plant in conformance with the Operating License (Units 2/3) and Possession Only License (Unit 1).
5.2.1 EMERGENCY COORDINATOR The Shift Manager will, upon declaration of an emergency event, assume the responsibilities of the Emergency Coordinator. Until such time as additional personnel can be recalled to staff the ERO (Figure 5-1), the Shift Manager will assign members of the shift organization to carry out prioritized actions as described in the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs), Emergency Operating Instructions (EOIs) for Units 2/3, and Abnormal Operating Instructions (AOIs) for Units 2/3. The Shift Manager will turn over responsibilities as Emergency Coordinator to the Station Emergency Director, and ultimately to the Corporate Emergency Director, in the Emergency Operations Facility, when activated.
In case the Shift Manager is unavailable or becomes incapacitated for any reason, the Assistant Shift Manager or Supervisor of Plant Operations has the authority to assume the position of Emergency Coordinator until properly relieved. Designated alternates to the Station Emergency Director and Corporate Emergency Director for staffing the Emergency Coordinator position are indicated on a SONGS Emergency Response Organization Roster.
Prior to transfer of the Emergency Coordinator function to the EOF, Emergency Coordinator responsibilities of the Shift Manager/Station Emergency Director are:
- 1. Decision to notify offsite agencies.
- 2. Making protective action recommendations to offsite agencies.
- 3. Classification and declaration of an emergency event.
- 4. Ordering site assembly.
Revision 29 5-4
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES (Continued)

When the Corporate Emergency Director assumes the Emergency Coordinator functions, only responsibilities 1, 2 and 5 are transferred.
Responsibilities 3, 4, and 6 remain assigned to the Shift Manager/Station Emergency Director.
Upon activation of the TSC, the Station Emergency Director will assume and retain responsibility throughout the duration of the emergency for the recognition and classification of emergencies. Once a classification is made the Station Emergency Director will have the classification announced to all onsite emergency response facilities and notify the Corporate Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator in the EOF. The Corporate Emergency Director/Emergency Coordinator will then develop an appropriate protective action recommendation and notify the state and local offsite jurisdictions of the change in classification/protective action recommendation as described in section 6.1.5 and 6.1.6. The Station Emergency Director will also retain responsibility for ordering a site assembly, and promptly notifying the Emergency Coordinator in the EOF of the decision.
5.2.2 EMERGENCY COORDINATOR (Continued)
Certain circumstances (e.g., security events, hazardous conditions) may warrant the relocation of personnel assigned to an emergency response facility to an alternate facility. These emergency response personnel may be relocated before activating their assigned emergency response facilities. The Emergency Coordinator (EC),
Station Emergency Director (SED), or Corporate Emergency Director (CED) must approve the relocation.
To ensure that offsite authorities are kept fully informed of the emergency status and actions in progress, the Emergency Coordinator will ensure that event and follow-up notifications are transmitted to offsite agencies within established time requirements.
The Emergency Coordinator has the authority and the responsibility to immediately and unilaterally initiate any Emergency Plan implementation action, including providing protective action recommendations to authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures.
Revision 29 5-5
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES (Continued)
The Emergency Coordinator has the authority to suspend any security measure described in the Physical Security Plan as necessary to facilitate response to emergency conditions (vital area access controls will not be dropped for life threatening situations not involving the public health and safety). During a declared emergency, when the Emergency Coordinator functions are transferred to the EOF, the Station Emergency Director (SED), or designee, assumes the authority to suspend security measures to facilitate the emergency response. Although the authority to suspend security measures is not transferred to the EOF, the Station Emergency Director shall keep the Corporate Emergency Director informed of events which require suspension of security measures. Any security measure suspended under these provisions will be restored, and inspected by the Shift Commander, as soon as practicable.
The Emergency Coordinator, following notification of an existing or potential emergency, will respond to the emergency as described in Section 6. The Emergency Coordinator will be responsible for final assessments of emergency situations, especially where the emergency presents a real or potential hazard to offsite persons or property. The Emergency Coordinator will implement the SONGS Emergency Plan through the use of specific EPIPs or the Emergency Planning Order, activate necessary and/or required portions of the Emergency Response Organization and, as appropriate:
- 1. Ensure that the Emergency Coordinator will be kept informed of the status of the emergency through communications with the Control Room, Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility.

The State of California, Department of Health Services Emergency Response Manager will activate the state's Ingestion Pathway Plan, if appropriate, and inform Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties of health information for the affected population.
5.4.2 FEDERAL AGENCIES The Nuclear Radiological Response Annex (NRRA) provides guidance regarding Federal agency response to a radiological emergency at San Onofre. The NRRA plan provides the framework through which the Federal agencies participating in the NRRA program will coordinate their emergency radiological monitoring and assessment activities with those of State and local governments. The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station will perform necessary onsite and in-plant radiological monitoring with Station personnel, augmented as necessary with personnel from other nuclear utilities, and from contractor organizations. NRRA personnel will not be used for onsite or in-plant monitoring. Since NRRA resources are to be used for offsite response, the emergency plan for California has made provisions for the use of NRRA resources. To provide means for NRRA access to plant release and meteorological data, space will be made available for a liaison from NRRA in the Emergency Operations Facility. The principal Federal government agencies having emergency responsibilities relative to SONGS, and a summary of those responsibilities follows.
" U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
In accordance with NUREG-0230, Response Coordination Manual 1996, the NRC will be the Lead Federal Agency responsible for coordinating all on scene Federal agency actions during a radiological emergency at San Onofre.
Specific actions performed by the NRC include:
- Determination of when, and to what extent, the NRRA is implemented.
- Notification of other Federal agencies whenever a radiological event occurs or whenever there is a high potential for such an event.
" Assist the State in interpretation and analysis of technical information as a basis for making decisions about protective actions.
- Prepare site specific information for distribution to the public, media, White House, and Congress.
Revision 29 5-19
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES (Continued)
In addition to the NRRA, the National Response Framework (NRF) may also be activated. The NRF is activated when the President declares an emergency under the Stafford Act. Ifthe NRF is activated, the NRC will continue to coordinate the Federal radiological response in conjunction with the Federal Coordinating Officer appointed under the NRF.
The primary method of notification to NRC is by the Emergency Notification System (ENS) telephone. For events requiring activation of the Emergency Plan, SCE will provide a Shift Communicator to initiate communication with the NRC within one hour and maintain an open communication channel if requested. Additionally, for events requiring the activation of the Emergency Plan at the Alert level or above, an Operations Leader or qualified replacement as indicated on the ERO roster shall be recalled to the station as a Red Phone Communicator. Upon activation of the Technical Support Center, responsibility for maintaining communications with the NRC is transferred from the Shift Communicator to the TSC Red Phone Communicator. Alternate communications are provided by the Telephone Company System.
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will respond to requests from the NRC, or the State, to coordinate offsite radiological monitoring and assessment.
DOE resources include technical laboratories, radiation monitoring and assessment, and dose assessment capabilities. DOE will manage the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center (FRMAC) which includes aerial dose monitoring. The primary method of notification to DOE is through the NRC. Notification may also be made by telephone.
" Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
FEMA coordinates non-radiological assistance to State and local organizations as described under the NRRA. Assistance from FEMA under the NRRA will be augmented with additional assistance from the NRF if the President declares a state of Emergency, or major disaster, under the Stafford Act.
Specific actions that FEMA performs in response to a radiological emergency include: 1) activation of the Emergency Information and Coordination Center (EICC) at FEMA Headquarters, 2) establish a Disaster Field Office (DFO), and
- 3) deploy an Emergency Response Team to make contact with State and local responding organizations.
- Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
The FBI acts as the lead agency for the coordination of law enforcement agencies responding to Security related events at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Response actions to Security events are addressed in the SONGS Safeguards Contingency Plan.

SECTION 6 EMERGENCY MEASURES
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES Activation of accident assessment activities is initiated by alarmed instrumentation, and/or through notification to the Control Room by the first individual at the Station to become aware of an apparent emergency condition. At Units 2/3, the Certified Operator promptly notifies the Supervisor who notifies the Shift Manager (SM)/Assistant Shift Manager (ASM), begins assessment activities, and under the direction of the Supervisor begins corrective actions. The Operator assigned to respond to ISFSI, will communicate with the SM and begin assessment activities and corrective actions.
The SM announces the declaration of an Emergency Event and the assumption of the role of Emergency Coordinator (EC) and, ifappropriate, determines the necessity to activate the Technical Support Center (TSC) and Operations Support Center (OSC), the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), and Joint Information Center (JIC) and initiate personnel recall. The SM continues the EC duties until relieved by the Station Emergency Director (SED), or designated alternate, upon activation of the TSC, and ultimately to the Corporate Emergency Director (CED), or designated alternate, upon activation of the EOF. The EC will direct assessment activities, determine the classification of the emergency and announce the event to all onsite emergency response facilities. The EC is responsible for development of protective action recommendations, and notification of offsite agencies. The EC ensures that the condition has been properly evaluated and classified, that appropriate protective actions have been initiated, and activates or deactivates response personnel and organizations as dictated by the situation.
In the event that normal access to San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) should be restricted, due to an earthquake or other emergency situation, emergency response personnel and equipment can be transported to the Station via helicopter. The Southern California Edison (SCE) Company maintains helicopters at Ontario Airport.
Provisions have been made for the dedicated use of two helicopters for the transport of emergency response personnel and equipment to SONGS. The EPC at the EOF will coordinate the use of helicopters to support the emergency.
Additionally, the SCE Company owns and operates an extensive fleet of ground transportation vehicles consisting of heavy-duty trucks, equipment, and four-wheel drive vehicles. These would be available to SONGS as needed. Additional assistance is reasonably expected to be available from various governmental agencies.
6.1 ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION This section describes the provisions for notification and/or activation of the various emergency response groups, as applicable to emergency conditions and classifications.
Table 6-1 summarizes the notification and immediate actions of onsite and offsite response organizations for each of the SONGS emergency classifications.
Action levels for response to emergency conditions are described in Section 4 of this Plan.

The appropriate response teams are assembled and dispatched to the event site by notification over the public address (PA) system and/or by direct communication. In some cases, repair teams are dispatched prior to the classification. Individual assignments (by title) to emergency functions are identified in Table 5-1 of this Plan.
6.1.1.2 Offsite Agencies Notification of state and local agencies will be performed as described in section 6.1.5.
6.1.2 ALERT 6.1.2.1 SCE Emergency Response Organization The occurrence of events or accidents leading to the declaration of an Alert requires initiation of the required recall and activation and staffing of the TSC, the OSC, the EOF, and the JIC. The TSC, OSC, and EOF are required to be activated and the JIC Director is required to report to the JIC within 90 minutes following ERO recall. This action is initiated by the EC. Notification, staging, and dispatch of appropriate onsite response teams such as fire fighting, first aid, rescue, onsite radiological monitoring, damage assessment, control, and repair is via the plant PA system and Onsite Emergency Siren System, and/or direct communication, such as telephone.
When conditions causing a breach of plant physical security occur, such as civil disturbance, notification is made to SONGS Security, and response actions are taken in accordance with the Safeguards Contingency Plan.
The EC will ensure that appropriate Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) and other site procedures are implemented to correct the situation.
Implementation of these procedures may be delegated to emergency response personnel.
6.1.2.2 Offsite Agencies Notification of state and local agencies will be performed as described in section 6.1.5.

- Backup radiological monitoring assistance for a GE may be provided through the U.S. Department of Energy in Las Vegas, Nev. Requests for assistance may be made by telephone through the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
6.1.5 INITIAL NOTIFICATION Initial contact with offsite authorities is generally made to a dispatcher, communications operator, or other similarly qualified individual. Event notification will also be made to all primary response jurisdictions via the Yellow Phone System (YPS). To facilitate notification, an Event Notification Form (ENF) has been developed in cooperation with offsite agencies.
Copies of this form are in the TSC, EOF, and near the offsite agency Yellow Phone stations. The form contains pre-worded information and blanks for incident-specific data. Additionally, the form provides information on the class of emergency, whether a radiological release has taken place, potentially affected areas, and protective action recommendations, as appropriate to the emergency class.
Revision 29 6-4
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued)
Upon declaration of an emergency, the EC will direct the Shift Communicator, or designee, to contact the offsite agencies listed below using the YPS.
- Orange County
- San Diego County
- City of Dana Point
- City of San Juan Capistrano
- City of San Clemente
- Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton
- California Highway Patrol
- California State Parks In addition to the offsite agencies listed above, SCE's Generation Operation Center is notified via the YPS.
The California State Parks, and the cities of Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente are not staffed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day; alternate means of notification to these three agencies are described in Table 5-3.
The initial notification consists of a verbal message and a printed copy of the information provided verbally. The verbal message will commence within 15 minutes after the event declaration. The printed copy of the verbal message will be faxed to the agencies listed above within about 30 minutes of event declaration.
The EC will direct the Shift Communicator, or designee, to notify CAL OES using either a dedicated line (Blue Phone) or telephone company circuits. The initial message will commence within 15 minutes of event declaration.
The EC will direct a licensed operator or designee to notify the NRC in accordance with 10CFR50.72, "Notification of Significant Events," which requires NRC notification to commence immediately after notification of the state and offsite agencies and no later than within one hour using the Emergency Notification System (ENS).
Upon receipt of an event notification, the individual contacted at each agency notifies the director of that agency, or other designated personnel, and provides the event notification message.
The SONGS Manual of Emergency Events (MOEE) is used to assist primary offsite agencies with interpretation of the Site condition. The initiating conditions are keyed to the emergency classes of the Station EPIPs.
Revision 29 6-5
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) 6.1.6 FOLLOW-UP NOTIFICATION Follow-up messages will be faxed. Follow-up calls will also be made to each of the lead agencies notified initially and periodically as changing conditions warrant throughout the duration of the emergency.
Follow-up messages serve two purposes: the first is to provide hard copy technical information directly to those individuals knowledgeable in the use of the data; and the second is to provide additional information concerning onsite conditions which is necessary for accident assessment and recommended offsite protective actions.
Following activation of the EOF, technical information will be provided directly to State, local and Federal liaison personnel at the EOF. Should it become necessary to escalate an emergency classification, the ENF will be used to notify offsite agencies.
6.2 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS Provisions are made in this Plan for initial assessment and continuing reassessment throughout the course of an emergency to ensure effective coordination, direction, and upgrading of emergency activities in a timely manner. Assessment activities are described in detail in EPIPs and Offsite Dose Assessment Center (ODAC) procedures. Each of these procedures is designed to guide the actions of personnel in emergency responses.
EPIPs and ODAC Procedures provide detail for performing monitoring and dose assessment activities. These procedures are supported by Chemistry and RP Procedures which describe use of instrumentation and provide survey routes and analysis methods.
Table 5-2 of the Emergency Plan identifies those personnel who will comprise monitoring teams during normal working hours and on backshifts. The monitoring teams will be comprised of individuals trained to perform radiological monitoring. At least one monitoring team can be dispatched at all times, with additional teams drawn from off-duty personnel who are called in.
Monitoring personnel onsite are notified by the Station PA System, radio or phone. Off-duty Station personnel are called in by means of recall system or the telephone.
Monitoring team personnel are trained in accordance with Table 8-1. The composition of the monitoring teams and their participation in training and in periodic drills and exercises as described in Section 8.1 provide a sufficient level of expertise. The RP Manager or designee is the RP Leader during an emergency. This is normally the individual having the requisite experience and education specified for the RP Manager as described in Regulatory Guide 1.8.
The RP Leader (or designated alternate) will direct the OSC to dispatch monitoring teams. The RP Leader will receive the incoming data from the OSC.
Offsite monitoring teams will utilize SCE company vehicles, which are readily available onsite, and will maintain communications with the Station via portable radio transceivers, transceivers installed in the vehicle, or by telephone. Private vehicles may be used to augment company vehicles as necessary.
The assessment functions, including identification of methodology and techniques for each emergency class, are summarized below.
Revision 29 6-6
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) 6.2.1 NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT
- The instrumentation and other mechanisms used for accident assessment are periodically reviewed during the course of an emergency to ensure continued awareness of the magnitude of the conditions, and effective, timely coordination of the various elements of the ERO.

" Onsite radiation, contamination, and airborne surveys for radioactivity are performed as appropriate.
Radiological monitoring teams are dispatched, as appropriate, for radiation measurements and sample collection at onsite/offsite locations, as appropriate.
Provision is made for radioactivity analysis and assessment in the field, in the Site laboratory, or at the facilities of an offsite contractor.
- Data and information pertinent to the emergency, from both onsite and offsite sources, are submitted to the TSC staff and the EOF staff for review and assessment to aid in direction, coordination, and recommendation of appropriate responses.
" Personnel are assigned specific record keeping duties to ensure that accurate records are obtained. These records allow later reassessment of conditions which existed and ensure that responses to the situation were appropriate.
" Assigned SCE staff compile and evaluate applicable data, and prepare a comprehensive report which details and assesses the emergency.
6.2.4 PLANT SYSTEM STATUS Process and effluent parameter monitoring instrumentation is installed to identify that an off-normal condition exists, to determine the extent and nature of the off-normal condition, to assess the radioactivity in effluent paths, and to determine the effectiveness of corrective and mitigative measures. This equipment is described in the Units 2 and 3 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
The SMs primary responsibility for monitoring and assessing plant systems status, reporting such status to Station Management and taking appropriate corrective action in a timely manner.
When activated, the TSC staff will advise the Operations Leader in performing accident assessment activities and in recommending corrective actions to place the plant in a safe configuration and to mitigate the consequences of the event. The TSC staff has access to all plant parameter indications by virtue of communications with the Control Room and for Units 2/3, data displays in the TSC.
Revision 29 6-8
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) 6.2.5 DOSE PROJECTION Provision has been made for the assessment and evaluation of offsite radiation doses which are a consequence of an accidental release of radioactive material from SONGS. Necessary radiological, process, and meteorological instrumentation to support this assessment activity has been provided in the Control Room, the TSC, and the EOF. This instrumentation is described in Section 7 of this Plan.
A dose projection methodology has been developed and implemented for airborne releases under a wide range of circumstances. EPIPs provide detailed instructions to TSC and EOF personnel in the use of this methodology. This may be accomplished either by the RP computer system or by hand calculation.
Following activation of the TSC, dose projection activities are performed by personnel designated by the RP Leader. Following activation of the EOF, dose projection activities are forwarded to the EOF. The EOF RP personnel in turn will develop a potential dose projection to support protective action recommendations as required. An independent dose calculation is performed by ODAC.
6.2.6 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING Radiological monitoring following a release of radioactive materials to the environment will be performed. This includes actions such as dose rate surveys, sampling and analysis of airborne and liquid activity, both onsite and offsite.
RP Procedures provide detail to TSC, OSC, EOF, and monitoring team personnel in the performance of radiological monitoring. The environmental monitoring program procedures identify the location of environmental monitors, the sampling techniques and analysis methods to be used.
SONGS will dispatch qualified monitoring personnel for the initial onsite and/or offsite emergency radiological monitoring.
Radiological monitoring systems and methods for performing radiological monitoring are discussed below.
6.2.6.1 In-Plant Radiological Surveys Procedures for performing routine and emergency radiological surveys, and the use of survey equipment, are described in detail by the SONGS RP procedures.
6.2.6.2 Onsite Radiological Monitoring Radiological monitoring systems have been engineered to monitor radioactivity levels in all important process and effluent points and are described in the SONGS Units 2&3 Updated FSAR.
In the event of an accidental radioactivity release to the environment, one or more onsite radiation monitoring teams may be dispatched to assess radiological conditions onsite and at the site boundary, in order to verify dose projection results which determine the need for protective actions.
Revision 29 6-9
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) 6.2.6.3 Offsite Radiological Monitoring In the event that dose projection results or onsite monitoring results indicate the potential for radioactivity release with offsite dose consequences, SCE offsite radiation monitoring teams will be dispatched. Initially, at least one monitoring team will be sent in the direction of the plume movement over land. The onsite monitoring team(s) may assist in the offsite monitoring at the discretion of the TSC RP Leader.
SCE offsite monitoring team personnel take direct radiation readings and obtain air samples for analysis of airborne radioactivity. Air sample media are field-checked and significant results reported to the TSC RP Leader. Sample media are returned to the Site or to other designated locations for laboratory analysis. Monitoring data is compared to the results of dose projections to adjust preliminary assessments and protective action recommendations.
6.2.7 POST EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT 6.2.7.1 Evacuation Routes In the event of a major earthquake, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will respond; provide inspection and assessment of key highway structures. Determination of any structural damage that may in some way affect an orderly evacuation of local populations in the event of an emergency will be made by Caltrans personnel. Caltrans has organized response teams which, in the event of an earthquake will be immediately assigned to assess any highway structural damage and evaluate the road carrying capability of the blocked highway or damage structure. Caltrans has access to a helicopter which may be designated for this use. In the event of a major earthquake the response team should be able to inspect, by air, key structures critical to certain representative evacuation scenarios and report their findings to the warning center of CAL OES.
6.2.7.2 Communications Procedures are in effect that require Station operators to notify offsite emergency response agencies of any classified emergency including an earthquake. The functional status of the communications facilities is verified during these notifications.
6.3 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Protective actions are measures which are implemented to prevent or mitigate potential adverse consequences to individuals during or after a radiological incident. Protective actions within the SONGS site boundary are the responsibility of the EC, but may include assistance from offsite agencies or organizations. Protective actions outside the SONGS site boundary are the responsibility of the local jurisdictions. The EC is responsible for formulating and transmitting protective action recommendations to local jurisdictions.
These Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) may be modified by the EC when information regarding offsite condition (traffic, weather, etc.) or radiological conditions (release parameters, etc.), which could affect the value of the PAR are known and can be evaluated.
Revision 29 6-10
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) 6.3.1 ONSITE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The primary protective measure for onsite personnel in an emergency is prompt evacuation from areas which may be affected by security-related hazards, significant radiation, contamination, or airborne radioactivity. Other onsite protective measures may involve direction for personnel to take cover, seek shelter, assemble, or perform accountability. Direction for personnel to take cover or seek shelter may occur as a result of security-related hazards. The protective measure to take cover may occur in the event of an attack on the site. Site personnel would be notified to take cover, get down and stay down until informed otherwise. This protective action supports the site Security response to an attack event. The direction for site personnel to seek shelter may occur in the event of an aircraft attack. Under these conditions, plant personnel would be notified to seek shelter in concrete reinforced locations until informed otherwise. Remaining protective measures are discussed below.
Respiratory protective equipment and protective clothing are provided in adequate quantities within the plant and in various emergency equipment kits for personnel who may be required to perform emergency activities. Control of in-plant contamination is in accordance with RP Procedures. In the event of radioactive contamination outside fenced security areas, but within the exclusion area, access to such areas shall be controlled by SCE RP personnel.
No potentially affected agricultural crops or drinking water supplies are located within the SONGS site boundary. A description of onsite evacuation categories follows:
6.3.1.1 Local Area Evacuation This category refers to evacuation of localized areas within the plant. Evacuation of personnel from localized areas may be caused by security events, fire, smoke, toxic gas, or radiation, and is usually initiated primarily by alarms from local Area Radiation Monitors (ARMS). The alarm setpoints are based on normal levels of radiation and airborne radioactivity and expected fluctuations within the specific areas.
The immediate response by individuals in the vicinity of such an alarm is evacuation to an unaffected area, probably within the same building, but away from the localized condition. In the absence of readily available radiological surveillance information or other logical assessment conditions, those individuals will evacuate to an unaffected area. Applicable instructions to personnel, based on evaluation of Control Room instrumentation or other supporting information, may be transmitted over the plant PA system.
Strategic location of the ARMS and the requirement for immediate evacuation in response to alarms from these monitors provides reasonable assurance that radiological consequences of a localized incident are minimized. Frequent radiological surveys throughout the station provide continuing verification of levels indicated by ARMS. These surveys, as well as any other detection Revision 29 6-11
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) method, can also serve to initiate the evacuation of personnel for conditions which may not otherwise be identified by ARMs.
6.3.1.2 Site Assembly This category refers to evacuation of larger areas than would be required for Local Area Evacuation. Site Assembly requires that all non-emergency response personnel on site assemble at designated Assembly Areas. During such evacuations, the Security Force shall maintain the appropriate security posture as defined by the SONGS Security Plan, the Safeguards Contingency Plan, and the EPIPs. SONGS Security will provide accountability within the protected area.
Site Assembly is initiated following declaration of a SAE or a GE unless it exposes plant personnel to a greater hazard. Notification for personnel to proceed with a Site Assembly will be announced over the plant PA system followed by the Onsite Evacuation Sirens and additional PA announcements.
Normally all emergency response personnel will report to the Emergency Response Facilities (ERF), and all non-emergency response personnel on site will report to an Assembly Area. Under security-related events, emergency response personnel not affected by take cover or shelter protective actions may report to alternate ERF.
The decision to initiate a precautionary Site Assembly is the responsibility of the EC/SED. This decision is based principally on the EC evaluation and judgment of the type, magnitude and severity of the situation on a case by case basis.
Factors to be considered must include the level of radiation exposure or other physical hazards to plant personnel which may result from a Site Assembly. In the event of a security emergency or a localized fire within the Protected Area, the EC may deem it prudent not to evacuate the Protected Area, but perform local area evacuation.
6.3.1.3 Accountability Accountability of Site personnel, visitors, and contractor personnel is conducted as personnel leave the Protected Area. Accountability of personnel will be performed in accordance with EPIPs and the results transmitted to the EC/SED, as appropriate.
6.3.1.4 Site Evacuation Site Evacuation requires that all non-emergency response personnel within the SONGS OCA and the Mesa Area evacuate the site and proceed as directed by the EC. The initiation of a site evacuation is mandatory following a SAE (after site assembly) unless it exposes plant personnel to a greater hazard.
The decision to initiate a precautionary Site Evacuation is the responsibility of the EC, normally the CED. This decision is based on the type, magnitude and severity of the incident, the likelihood of escalation, the security risk to personnel and the radiation and airborne radioactivity levels throughout the Station, particularly at the Assembly Areas. Assembly Area dose rates and airborne Revision 29 6-12
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) concentrations are determined by use of portable radiation survey meters and air sample collection devices.
Guidance is provided for Site Evacuation implementation in Table 6-2, "Guidance for Evacuation of Non-Emergency Response Personnel." Notification of a Site Evacuation is accomplished by announcements over the plant PA system, followed by sounding the onsite evacuation siren and additional PA announcements.
6.3.1.5 Contamination Control The SONGS RP Procedures contain provisions governing the control of contamination including access control, use of protective clothing, contamination monitoring, and the release of potentially contaminated items from controlled areas. The requirements and guidelines of these documents shall apply to contamination control during emergency conditions. EPIPs provide the interface between the RP Procedures and the Emergency Plan. EPIPs authorize the EC or RP Leader to waive or modify certain normal contamination control methods if other conditions, such as delaying necessary evacuations, personnel rescue, or delaying access to necessary plant equipment, would create a greater personnel or public hazard.
In the event that offsite treatment of SCE or SCE contract personnel involving a contaminated injury is required, an individual trained to perform radiological surveys shall accompany the ambulance to the treatment facility to provide continuing assessment of radiological conditions.
Revision 29 6-13
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) 6.3.1.6 Exposure Control The exposure of Station personnel during emergency operations shall be maintained As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), and shall be maintained within the emergency exposure criteria set forth in this plan. In order to accomplish this objective, administrative means used during normal operations to minimize personnel exposure (such as radiation exposure permits, radiation clearance, and ALARA measures) shall remain in force to the extent consistent with timely implementation of emergency measures.
If necessary operations require personnel exposures in excess of the 10CFR20 limits, or if normal access control and radiological work practices will result in unacceptable delays, the EC or SED may waive or modify the established exposure control criteria and methods. 10CFR20, "Planned Special Exposures" will not be used for emergency response. EPIPs provide direction for expeditious decision making and a reasonable consideration of relative risks.
Guidelines utilized by EC or SED shall include, but not necessarily be limited to:
- Emergency personnel should be volunteers and familiar with the consequences of exposures.
" Declared pregnant women should not take part in these actions.
" Other considerations being equal, volunteers above the age of 45 should be selected.
- Internal exposure shall be minimized by using the best available respiratory protection and contamination shall be controlled by using available protective clothing.
Table 6-3 summarizes the emergency exposure criteria for entry or reentry into areas for the purposes of undertaking protective or corrective actions. Two classifications of emergency exposure are identified: lifesaving actions and protection of large populations or protection of valuable property. Lifesaving actions and protection of large populations include actions such as rescue, first aid, personnel decontamination, medical transport, and medical treatment services, when such actions are immediately necessary to save a life. Protection of valuable property includes surveillance actions and plant operations necessary to minimize further deterioration of the level of plant safety or to mitigate the consequences of the accident, if failure to perform these actions could result in a significant increase in offsite exposures. Personnel exposures received performing emergency measures, other than those identified above, shall be in accordance with SONGS administrative controls.
Revision 29 6-14
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued)
Dosimetry equipment which is provided as part of the RP Program will be used during emergency situations. RP Procedures provide guidelines and procedures for issuing, using, and reading/processing dosimetry devices and provisions for exposure record keeping.
SONGS RP Procedures contain provisions for administration of the facility bioassay program. They provide guidance for accelerated or additional bioassays in the event there are individuals who are suspected of being exposed to elevated levels of airborne activity. These procedures also provide for follow-up monitoring, medical treatment, and incident reporting.
6.3.1.7 Respiratory Protection The SONGS Respiratory Protection Program includes provisions governing the use of respiratory protection equipment and administration of the SONGS respiratory protection program, which is responsive to Regulatory Guide 8.15 and NUREG-0041. The provisions of this document and supporting procedures shall apply to all usage of respiratory protection equipment during emergency conditions.
Two exceptions to normal respiratory protection practices may be instituted by the Emergency Coordinator, with the advice of the RP Leader, in accordance with the provisions of EPIPs. These exceptions are as follows:
" Extension of normal uptake limits. Provision is made for exposure above 10CFR20 limits. Under these provisions, internal exposure is controlled so that the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) due to internal and external exposure, does not exceed the emergency exposure limits established in Table 6-3.
- Use of Thyroid Prophylaxis. Potassium Iodide (KI) is available for use by emergency response personnel in the event of an emergency. The EPIPs delineate proper procedures for determining when KI should be administered, obtaining medical department approval, and how it shall be administered to employees and support personnel at SONGS.
6.3.2 OFFSITE PROTECTIVE ACTIONS Radiological emergency response plans are in effect to protect the public against:
(1) exposure to radiation associated with plume passage within the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ); (2) exposure to radiation associated with deposited radioactive material within the 50 mile ingestion pathway EPZ.
The role of the SONGS in offsite protective actions includes: the notification of cognizant officials, performing offsite dose assessment, apprizing the offsite agencies of plant and radiological release status, and making recommendations for offsite protective actions. The role of the State and local governments is to act upon all available information including recommendations provided by the Station and to perform emergency measures necessary for the protection of the public.
Revision 29 6-15
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued)
Evaluation of information obtained from SONGS and other sources and for initiating protective actions is the responsibility of the primary response agencies. Actions taken, based on available data, local constraints, and other considerations may include:
" Sheltering for affected populations
- Evacuation of selected areas
- Control of contaminated agricultural products and animal feed crops
- Ingest Potassium Iodide within the EPZ Boundary The primary offsite response agencies for responding to radiological emergencies in the vicinity of SONGS are Orange County, San Diego County Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, the California State Parks, the City of San Clemente, the City of Dana Point and the City of San Juan Capistrano. These primary response agencies will initiate appropriate actions in accordance with their respective emergency plans.
Their detailed plans and capability for implementing protective actions include:
" Direction and control of the emergency response effort
- Prompt alerting and notification to the population within the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ
- Radiation monitoring and dose assessment
- Determination of appropriate protective actions for the general public
- Activation of reception centers for evacuees
- Coordination of local actions with other offsite jurisdictions The plume exposure pathway EPZ is broken into 5 Protective Action Zones (PAZs).
Occupants within these PAZs are provided with information regarding emergency planning. This information describes the method by which they will be notified of an emergency and provides specific instructions to be followed upon receipt of such notification. Refer to the map found in Figure 6-1 of this section of the Emergency Plan and to Emergency Plan Implementing Procedure (EPIP) SO123-VIII-10.3, Protective Action Recommendations, for information concerning the specific PAR process.
6.3.2.1 Protective Action Guides and Recommendation of Protective Actions Protective action guides (PAGs) are the projected radiological dose, or dose commitment, to individuals in the general public which warrant protective action following a significant release of radioactive material. PAGs have been established in the Orange County Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan and the EPA Manual of Protective Action Guides. (Refer to EPIP SO123-VIII-10.3.)
Revision 29 6-16
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued)
Offsite agencies responsible for implementing protective actions for the public will assign protective actions based on their evaluation of the SONGS recommendation.
The role of SONGS in offsite protective actions is to provide offsite agencies with timely notifications of emergencies, appropriate recommendations for protective actions, appropriate accident assessment data, and data from offsite monitoring performed by SONGS personnel in the event of a release; to maintain the Community Alert Siren System; to maintain the YPS; and to assist local officials with pre-incident public information programs.
Following a major earthquake the station operators will perform, in accordance with established procedures, specific actions to verify plant status and ensure that no abnormal plant conditions exist. Information on road conditions will become available to the CED from the California Highway Patrol, or Caltrans response teams, as they conduct inspections of overpasses, bridges and roadway surfaces required for EPZ evacuation. Personnel reporting to the station will provide additional information on road conditions. Thus, the recommendations of the CED for offsite protective actions will reflect consideration of post-earthquake damage which is identified. Reliance on alternate communication links may be necessary, and alternate evacuation routes or sheltering may be recommended to achieve the emergency planning objective of realizing dose savings.
6.3.2.2 Beach Evacuation A beach evacuation (the State Beach immediately adjacent to SONGS located in PAZ 1) will be recommended by SONGS for an Alert based on a Security Code Red event or with an event related radiological release. For a SAE or a GE, a beach evacuation recommendation is mandatory. Marine Corps Base personnel and California State Parks personnel will ensure that the area is evacuated.
A beach evacuation will be accompanied by activation of the SONGS onsite sirens followed by PA announcements over the Perimeter Public Address System in accordance with EPIPs. This PA system is capable of transmitting a clearly audible message throughout the near-site Beach Area.
6.3.2.3 Community Alert and Notification System The physical and administrative means for alerting and warning the population of an incident at SONGS has been provided. This system involves alerting the population via the Community Alert Siren System. In accordance with instructions provided during periodic public information programs (See Section 8 of this Plan), the alerted population will turn to pre-designated radio and television stations for emergency information and instructions. The design objective of this system is to have the capability to essentially complete the initial notification of the public in the plume exposure pathway EPZ within 15 minutes of a decision by offsite decision makers to implement a protective action.
The hardware of the Community Alert Siren System consists of fixed outdoor sirens located within the plume exposure EPZ. These sirens are maintained by Revision 29 6-17
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued) the SCE Company. The sirens will be activated remotely from control panels in corresponding jurisdictions.
The responsibility for activation of the Community Alert Siren System rests with the organization designated in the emergency response plan of each of the jurisdictions. These organizations will activate their respective portions of the warning system and supply appropriate emergency messages to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) station or other radio station serving their jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of their emergency response plans. Information for these emergency messages will be provided from SONGS in the form of the event and follow-up notifications described in Sections 6.1.5 and 6.1.6.
6.4 AID TO AFFECTED PERSONNEL EPIPs and Site Procedures are established which provide for control of emergency exposure, personnel contamination, and for assistance to injured persons, including situations involving complications due to the presence of radiation or radioactive contamination.
6.4.1 EMERGENCY EXPOSURE All reasonable measures shall be taken to maintain the radiation exposure of emergency response personnel who provide rescue, first aid, decontamination, ambulance or medical treatment services to within applicable annual limits specified in 1 OCFR20. Table 6-3 summarizes the emergency exposure criteria for entry or re-entry into areas for purposes of undertaking protective or corrective actions such as firefighting, minimizing damage to facilities, reducing the release of effluents, and for carrying out lifesaving activities. Methods and conditions for permitting volunteers to receive emergency radiation exposures are described in EPIPs and provide for expeditious decisions with consideration to known and reasonable balances of associated risks. The SED or SM as the EC may authorize in writing emergency response personnel onsite to receive an exposure in excess of 10CFR20 limits.
6.4.2 DECONTAMINATION AND FIRST AID Personnel contamination in emergency situations will be controlled by the normal methods of using protective clothing and surveying for contamination following the removal of such clothing. Personnel decontamination areas, consisting of showers and sinks, are available for either routine or emergency use. Decontamination will be performed under the direction of RP personnel. Detailed methods for personnel decontamination are described in RP Procedures. Decontamination equipment is located at the personnel decontamination areas in the plant and at the EOF.
Firefighters qualified as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) will be onsite at all times. First aid to injured personnel can normally be performed in conjunction with any necessary decontamination methods. However, if immediate treatment of the injury is vital, that treatment will take precedence over decontamination. This philosophy also extends to offsite emergency assistance involving radioactive contamination.

This ambulance will transport to local hospitals any onsite personnel, who may have injuries complicated by radioactive contamination.
Backup arrangements have been made with Air Methods.
6.4.4 MEDICAL TREATMENT Arrangements have been made for medical treatment of patients who have injuries complicated by the presence of radioactive contamination and are unable to be treated by the SONGS Medical Staff. Arrangements exist at the locations described in Section 5.3.3, Local Services Support, of this Plan.
Additional arrangements have been made with several physicians in Orange County to provide consultation services and assistance to SCE in the treatment of radiation overexposures or injuries complicated by radioactive contamination (See Appendix A).
6.5 EMERGENCY PUBLIC INFORMATION (POST-ACCIDENT)
SCE respects the public's right to information about its operations and services and, in particular, to information regarding accidents and unplanned events which occur at Company facilities, including SONGS. This policy is the basis on which a public information plan for nuclear emergencies has been developed. The public information plan is a joint effort between SCE and the primary offsite agencies. Offsite plans and the Offsite Emergency Planning Order describe the objectives, responsibilities, procedures, facilities, and protocol for emergency public information.
The Sr. Vice President, Chief Nuclear Officer, or the designated alternate, shall be the official Company Spokesperson for news media communications in the San Onofre area. When the JIC is activated, and in the absence of the Sr. Vice President, Chief Nuclear Officer, normally the JIC Director serves as the official Company Spokesperson. The official Company Spokesperson shall be advised by the CED or the designated alternate in communicating with the news media and handling public inquiries.
The Manager of Nuclear Communications, or designee, will coordinate the preparation and dissemination of timely and accurate news releases, and will provide liaison with the EOF.
When the JIC is activated, interface with the news media will primarily occur at the JIC.
Responsibilities of the JIC staff include:
- 1. Preparation and dissemination of factual and timely information for the news media and general public.
- 2. Establishing contact with the news media covering the event and assisting them in obtaining factual information.
- 3. Coordinating with other agency public information officers to exchange public information necessary for the conduct of their respective duties.
For Notification Of Unusual Event (NOUE) emergency classifications, press releases and other media relations will be handled by Corporate Communications personnel at Corporate Headquarters or by Nuclear Communications personnel at San Onofre. For an Alert, SAE or GE, the JIC will be activated.
Revision 29 6-19
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES (Continued)
At the JIC, announcements to offsite groups will be made to assure consistency of information and to avert news leaks, sensationalism and misinterpretation.
As part of the public information plan, the SCE customer services organization provides telephone contact personnel to handle incoming calls from the media and general public during an emergency. This contact is in addition to rumor control programs established by the various local jurisdictions within the plume exposure EPZ.

>170 mrem Total Effective Dose Equivalent or Evacuation
>170 mrem Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent Note:
The decision to evacuate must include the following considerations.
- 1. Whether or not the emergency can be mitigated prior to dose level being reached.
- 2. If personnel involved are not immediately essential for handling the emergency, they should be evacuated as soon as possible. This will prevent giving unnecessary doses to personnel who may be needed for assistance later in the emergency.
- 3. Any time personnel are to be evacuated, the dose expected during evacuation must be weighed against the dose expected if the person is not evacuated. (In some cases, evacuation may give personnel a higher dose).
- 4. Any time personnel are to be evacuated, the hazards associated with evacuation during a security condition must be weighed against the hazards associated with personnel remaining stationary. (In some cases, evacuation may pose greater hazards).

SECTION 7 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Emergency facilities and equipment are provided to ensure the capability for prompt, efficient assessment and control of situations over the entire spectrum of probable and postulated emergency conditions. The facilities and associated equipment, and their emergency functions are described in this section.
7.1 EMERGENCY FACILITIES 7.1.1 CONTROL ROOM The Control Room for each respective unit at SONGS is the primary location for initial assessment coordination of corrective actions for essentially all emergency conditions. The Control Rooms are equipped with readouts and controls for all critical plant systems, readout and assessment aids related to the radiological monitoring system, and have access to all station communications systems.
Some Emergency Plan functions initially served by the Control Room will be transferred to the Station Emergency Director in the Technical Support Center and/or to the Corporate Emergency Director in the Emergency Operations Facility when activated for an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency. The primary consideration is to ensure the number of personnel in the Control Room is minimized and to avoid confusion that might impair the safe and orderly shutdown of the reactor or the operation of plant safety systems.
The Control Rooms have the following features which provide protection for personnel during an emergency:
- 1. Continuous indication of radiation levels from the monitors listed in Table 7-3
- 2. Basic protective equipment for personnel (see Appendix F for listing of typical equipment)
- 3. Communications systems, as described in Section 7.5 and Table 7-1.
In addition, the Units 2/3 Control Room has the following features:
- 1. Radiological shielding by concrete walls
- 2. An emergency air supply system, equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air and Activated Charcoal filters
- 3. Emergency lighting and power supplied by a 125 volt DC system
- 4. Meteorological monitoring system Additional details regarding the design and protective capabilities of the Control Room are described in the SONGS Units 2 and 3 FSAR.
Revision 25 7-1
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) 7.1.2 TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER The Technical Support Center (TSC) is located near the Units 2/3 Control Room.
The typical TSC configuration is shown in Figure 7-1. When activated, the TSC becomes the primary location for the coordination of emergency activities. The TSC initially houses the Emergency Coordinator and Staff during an emergency, after the Emergency Coordinator function is transferred from the Shift Manager to the Station Emergency Director. Upon full activation of the EOF, the Emergency Coordinator function will be transferred to the EOF and the Station Emergency Director will coordinate onsite activities from the TSC. The TSC serves several functions:
- 1. It is the location from which emergency-related activities are controlled.
These activities include, but are not limited to: offsite dose projection, direction of assessment and corrective actions, initiation of onsite protective actions and development of offsite protective action recommendations. Primary responsibility for some of these functions shifts to the EOF when the Emergency Coordinator's duties are transferred to the EOF. The TSC provides a reservoir of technical expertise which can be used to ensure proper evaluation of conditions and direction of the emergency effort.
- 2. It is the onsite communications center providing communication with the Control Room, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and local, state and federal response agencies.
- 3. It is designated as the central point for the receipt and analysis of field monitoring data generated by SCE. Following evaluation by TSC personnel, appropriate information will be reported to the EOF where it will be transmitted to local, state, and federal agencies.
The TSC and EOF electronically receive meteorological information. The TSC is designed for habitability during any postulated accident and shares the same habitability characteristics as the Units 2/3 Control Room.
Appropriate as-built drawings and other records are stored and filed at the Site, and are accessible to the TSC under emergency conditions.
In case the primary TSC becomes unavailable to responders for situations that are not hostile-action related, the TSC staff will respond or relocate to an alternate location depending on the specific event circumstances.
In case of initial declaration of an emergency event that is hostile-action related, TSC responders will be directed to report to Building E-50, Classroom 11 as an alternate TSC. TSC Leader Notebooks are located in a bookcase in the Building E-50 Hallway. The Station Emergency Director, Emergency Advisor-Operations, TSC Technical Leader, and TSC Radiation Protection Leader will collocate to the EOF to perform TSC functions using EOF equipment. The rest of the TSC responders report to Classroom 11, and standby for directions from the Station Emergency Director.
Revision 25 7-2
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) 7.1.3 OPERATIONS SUPPORT CENTER The Operations Support Center (OSC) is the onsite staging area where personnel report for assignment to emergency response teams. The typical OSC configuration is shown in Figure 7-2. The OSC is located on the 70' elevation of the control building. This location provides satisfactory protection of personnel under most postulated accident conditions.
The OSC is the location from which the Emergency Group Leader supervises and coordinates the following emergency activities: dispatch of onsite/offsite radiological monitoring teams, emergency services (fire, rescue, first aid) and damage assessment, control, and repair. The OSC has direct communications with the Control Room and TSC via a dedicated telephone extension (see Table 7-1).
In case the primary OSC becomes unavailable to responders for situations that are not hostile-action related, the OSC Staff will respond or relocate to an alternate location depending on the specific event circumstances.
In case of initial declaration of an emergency event that is hostile-action related, OSC responders will be directed to report to Building E-50 Learning Center, Rooms A and B, as an alternate OSC. OSC Leader Notebooks are located in a bookcase in the Building E-50 Hallway. OSC responders will report to the Learning Center, prepare to perform work, and wait for Security escorted access to the Protected Area.
7.1.4 EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY The Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) is the facility designated by SCE to coordinate the offsite emergency responses of SCE and the various local, State and Federal agencies for the development of protective action recommendations to ensure the health and safety of the general public. Space is provided for local, State and Federal government representatives. These representatives include agencies which are within the plume exposure EPZ as well as those within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ. The EOF serves as the coordination center for technical, radiological and environmental assessments of accident conditions. It also includes the Offsite Dose Assessment Center (ODAC) where independent recommendations for public protective actions are made.
The EOF is staffed by Emergency Response Organization personnel and is activated during Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency events.
Space is allocated in this facility for local, State and Federal representatives and, as such, is the point for face-to-face communications between SCE and offsite agencies. This interface between agencies facilitates coordination of offsite emergency actions, including public alert and notification. A portion of the EOF (ODAC) serves as the center for the collection and assessment of radiological monitoring data, meteorological data, dose assessments and projections, and making Protective Action Recommendations (PARs). The EOF provides space for engineering backup, administrative and logistical support. The EOF is also used during the recovery effort.
Revision 25 7-3
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)
The EOF is located approximately one kilometer from SONGS on the Mesa area controlled by SCE. Access to the EOF is provided by existing roads.
Entrance to the EOF is provided as shown in Figure 7-3. In the event of an emergency, security personnel can restrict entry to the EOF at the frontage road.
A heliport is located within close proximity to the security entrance to the EOF.
The design of the EOF satisfies the habitability criteria that specifies the facility shall be engineered for the design life of the plant. Ventilation protection of the EOF is accomplished by the use of High Efficiency Particulate Air filters. The EOF has a radiological protection factor greater than five. Anticontamination clothing, dosimeters (low and high range), and respirators with spare particulate and charcoal canisters are also available for emergency response teams.
The EOF will be staffed to direct overall licensee response efforts, provide overall management of licensee resources and the continuous evaluation and coordination of licensee activities during and after these events. The EOF consists of a Coordination Center, Medical/Decontamination Facilities, Security Area, Joint Operations Center, Telecommunications Area, Support Facilities, and Storage Area. Within the Coordination Center are areas for Technical Assessment, Radiological Assessment, personnel from the local, State and Federal Agencies, Administrative Support, and the Offsite Dose Assessment Center (ODAC). The Coordination Center includes space for approximately 85 people. The entire EOF encompasses 12,248.5 square feet and can accommodate up to 163 emergency responders based on 75 square feet per person in accordance with NUREG 0696. The typical Coordination Center configuration is shown in Figure 7-4.
The Joint Operations Center (JOC) is a unified command center which may be activated during a security event. Staffing includes the primary law enforcement agency and critical incident response groups consisting of law enforcement and other agencies.
The ODAC will function as the technical offsite center to coordinate and make independent offsite environmental assessments and measurements, radiological evaluations, and protective action recommendations. ODAC is a primary center for coordination of Plume Pathway Sampling.
ODAC and environmental monitoring samples are brought to the EOF where a determination of sample analysis is made. These samples will either be analyzed in the EOF or forwarded to an offsite contract laboratory, as appropriate.
An emergency kit is also provided in the EOF. For a typical inventory of the EOF emergency kit, see Appendix F.
Communication capabilities of the EOF are outlined in Table 7-1.
In the event the primary EOF becomes unavailable through radiological or environmental conditions, or becomes inaccessible prior to the event, personnel assigned to the EOF will be directed to report to the Alternate EOF located at the SCE Irvine Operations Center (IOC), 23 Parker Street, Irvine, California.
Revision 25 7-4

SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) 7.3.1.1 Radiation Monitoring System This onsite system consists of effluent monitors, continuous air monitors, area radiation monitors, in-containment radiation monitors (Units 2/3) and process monitors. The system has several purposes: radiation level monitoring, high radiation alarm for personnel protection, process stream monitoring, effluent stream monitoring, and accident assessment. The system measures and records radiation levels and concentrations of radioactive material at selected locations throughout the Station. Each potential radioactivity release point is monitored. These monitors are tabulated in Table 7-3.
Several monitors are designed for assessment of radiation levels and/or effluent release rates in the event of a significant accident. These monitors generally supplement the other monitors in the Radiation Monitoring System by extending the range of radiation level measurements. Such monitors are provided for each of the major potential release points at Units 2 and 3. In addition, nine direct radiation monitors have been installed in each of the nine landward sectors at a range of approximately 1 kilometer from the Station. These are dual-range pressurized ion chambers with real time readout locally and at the Control Room, TSC and EOF via the dose assessment computer terminals.
7.3.1.2 Portable Instrumentation Portable radiological survey instrumentation and equipment is provided as part of the SONGS Radiation Protection Program, as established in the SONGS Radiation Protection Procedures. Appropriate beta-gamma survey instruments, contamination monitoring instrumentation, and air sampling equipment are reserved in emergency kits for emergency use.
With few exceptions, this equipment is battery operated.
The selection of instruments and sampling media, and the methodology established in EPIPs, provide for a field detection capability of 1 E-7 pCi/cc of Iodine-1 31 in the presence of radioactive noble gases.
7.3.1.3 Radiological Laboratory Instrumentation Appropriate radiological counting instrumentation is provided in support of routine operations. This instrumentation is also available for use during emergencies. Instrumentation includes: beta counter, liquid scintillation counter, and a gamma spectrometer. Portable radiological instrumentation is also available for field assessment of sample media.
Revision 25 7-8
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued) 7.3.1.4 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Stations The primary function of the radiological environmental monitoring program is to establish the pre-operational background levels, detect any gradual build-up of radionuclides, and verify that operation of SONGS has no detrimental effect to the health and safety of the public. Field thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and air sampling media from environmental monitoring stations may be utilized to obtain valuable data in the event of a significant release of radioactive material.
Laboratory analysis of environmental samples will be accomplished at onsite and/or laboratories offsite. Analysis will be provided by laboratories which routinely analyze environmental, 10CFR61, or other radiological samples.
7.3.2 OFFSITE RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING EQUIPMENT Radiological monitoring equipment and portable air samplers have been provided by SCE to local agencies. These enable the agencies to determine local radiological conditions. This information is transmitted to ODAC to enable a thorough evaluation of radiological conditions in the local areas.
7.3.3 FIRE DETECTIONS SYSTEMS Fire detection at SONGS is provided by a central alarm system with an annunciator panel located in the Control Room, which is activated by a variety of fire and smoke detection devices located throughout the plant. Units 2/3 fire detection systems are identified in the respective plant Updated Fire Hazards Analysis.
7.3.4 GEOPHYSICAL PHENOMENA MONITORS Monitors are provided for detecting and recording geophysical phenomena parameters related to meteorology and seismic events.

A third meteorological tower is located on the roof of the Emergency Operations Facility at the SONGS Mesa area. This tower is comprised of the following:
- Self-supported tower
- Instrument sensors
- Uninterruptible power supply The sensors on the tower record wind directions, wind speed, and sigma theta at the 10m level as well as rainfall. Data from the EOF backup system is transmitted to the TSC Radiation Protection Leader located in the TSC.
Revision 25 7-10
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)
Meteorological measurement equipment is tabulated in Table 7-2. All of the natural phenomena monitors listed are located onsite.
Offsite meteorological data are available from the following nearby locations:
- Lindbergh Field, San Diego
" Palomar Airport
- Orange County Airport
- Marine Corps Air Station, Camp Pendleton
- National Weather Service, San Diego SCE's Generation Operation's Center routinely checks weather conditions via Internet access to the National Weather Service.
Telephone Company phone lines are used as a backup means of communication. This information includes climatological data, forecasts and notifications of all severe weather watches and warnings. A severe weather watch is issued when meteorological conditions are favorable for possible severe thunderstorms or tornado activity. A warning is issued when tornados or severe thunderstorms have actually been observed. A currently established procedure requires the Dispatcher to notify all SCE generating stations, including SONGS, in the event of severe weather watches or warnings. In addition, a weather alert radio is located in the office of the Battalion Chief, SONGS Fire Department. Any severe weather warning received as broadcast by the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) over this radio is immediately relayed to the Control Room. The Control Room personnel will then respond in accordance with established procedures.
7.3.4.2 Seismic Equipment Appropriate seismic instrumentation is provided at the Site to monitor and record the motion and peak shock imparted to critical elements of the station (structures and components) due to an earthquake.

SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 7.0 EMERGENCY FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT (Continued)
Communications systems are provided with diverse power sources. The main equipment cabinet and power supplies are located in separate areas to minimize losses from localized events.
Table 7-1 lists in detail the onsite and offsite communications equipment.
Simultaneous failure of these diverse facilities is unlikely, even in the event of an earthquake.
Following an earthquake and before the unit is returned to service, a determination will be made that adequate communications systems are in service to communicate with emergency response agencies, and adequate sirens are in service to alert the general public.
The Yellow Phone System from SONGS is the primary communications link for notification to offsite emergency response agencies. Southern California Edison's Generation Operation Center (dispatching center) has been designated as the primary communications link for notifications to the SCE Corporate Communication, Claims, and Customer Communication Center, and SDG&E Grid Control and as the back-up communications link for notifications to offsite emergency response agencies during an emergency at SONGS. These notifications are initiated for a Notification Of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency. Verification that key communication systems continue to operate satisfactorily is routinely accomplished during the notification process following all emergency events.
7.6 ONSITE FIRST AID AND MEDICAL FACILITIES An onsite health care center is located on the Mesa and has a medical team 5 days per week during normal working hours for routine administrative medical functions, and a physician on call 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day.

SECTION 9 RECOVERY
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY Recovery actions are taken after an emergency to restore the plant to as nearly as possible it is pre-emergency condition. The Emergency Coordinator has the responsibility for determining and declaring when an emergency situation is stable and has entered the recovery phase.
Evaluation of the status of the emergency will be made by observing instrument readings and reviewing all current and pertinent data available. The emergency shall be considered under control and in the recovery phase only when the following general guidelines have been met:
" Reactor and associated systems are considered to be in a safe, stable condition.
- Radiation levels in all in-plant areas are stable or decreasing with time.
" Release of radioactive materials to the environment from the plant are under control.
" Fire, flooding, or similar emergency conditions are controlled.
" Contaminated/injured personnel have been transferred to a hospital or have received appropriate medical treatment.
- The need for emergency response activities is significantly reduced. The event may or may not be closed out.
Upon declaration that an emergency has entered the recovery phase, the Emergency Coordinator shall be responsible for providing notification to all applicable agencies (e.g.,
Federal, State, County, etc.) that the emergency has entered a recovery phase.
Recovery actions that plan for, or may result in, radioactive release will be evaluated by the Recovery Manager and the Recovery Manager's staff as far in advance of the event as possible. Such events and data pertaining to the release will be reported to the appropriate offsite emergency response organizations and agencies.
Termination from an emergency condition will be through joint evaluation by the organizations involved. In the case of a severe emergency involving offsite consequences, this would include the Recovery Manager, CAL OES, Orange County, San Diego County, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, California Department of Parks and Recreation, Camp Pendleton and the NRC. All emergency response and support organizations shall be promptly notified of the termination of the emergency, and/or the initiation of recovery operations, in the same manner as was used for initial notification as described in Section 6.
Revision 15 9-1
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY (Continued) 9.1 RECOVERY ORGANIZATION 9.1.1 SHORT TERM RECOVERY PLAN The Technical Support Center organization will handle recovery efforts where post-accident conditions are uncomplicated and expected to be of short duration. This staff may be augmented as necessary to ensure a proper recovery effort.
9.1.2 LONG TERM RECOVERY PLAN 9.1.2.1 Introduction The experiences at Three Mile Island suggest that SONGS (if experiencing a similar situation) could need resources beyond inhouse capabilities in order to minimize public consequences following a nuclear accident. Such resources properly organized and readily available would provide an additional measure of protection to the public.
9.1.2.2 Discussion Following a nuclear accident, a utility may encounter significant problems in fully utilizing resources supplied from outside the plant organization, particularly if these resources must be supplied from outside of SCE.
Such problems may include:
- Internal and external communication
- Definition of regulatory and governmental interfaces
- Availability of recovery equipment and supplies
- Use of specialized disciplines and skills This recovery plan provides a preplanned organizational approach as a framework within which SONGS 1, 2 and 3 can respond to the specific emergency conditions which may occur but for which the detailed situation cannot be fully foreseen in advance. Use will be made of existing SCE capabilities, facilities and equipment supplemented if necessary by a national inventory of personnel and material. This national inventory is maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).
The necessity for a long term recovery organization presumes the declaration of a Site Area or General Emergency, and that at either level, NRC concurrence will, in all likelihood, be a prerequisite to restart.
Accordingly, the typical organization provided for in this plan should be tailored and augmented with this consideration in mind and depending upon the particular circumstances.
Revision 15 9-2
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY (Continued) 9.1.2.3 Critical Elements of the Recovery Plan The SONGS Emergency Plan has detailed the immediate response required for an emergency condition existing at the plant. This immediate response makes use of SCE personnel, facilities, and equipment and is directed toward stabilizing plant conditions and terminating or minimizing offsite radiological releases.
However, the emergency condition might be of such magnitude, nature, or be so time consuming that the recovery efforts overextend the SCE resources and additional support would be required in the following areas:
- Manpower to augment SCE's operative personnel
- Manpower in specialized disciplines beyond the capability of SCE resources, such as consultants for special technical problems
- Additional and more specialized emergency response equipment and services SONGS recovery personnel must be able to request and receive this type of support from interior sources. This plan identifies certain sources of support that SONGS will be able to call upon in a severe emergency.
Separate prearranged agreements have been developed to cover compensation, insurance and other considerations associated with the use of external support.
9.1.2.4 Recovery Organization Figure 9-1 shows the typical key positions of the Recovery Organization for SONGS. A Recovery Organization will be activated when a long term recovery effort is required. The Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer will be involved in the emergency response activities prior to the recovery phase so that the Vice President and Station Manager may determine at what point in time and to what degree the recovery organization should be activated.
The key positions with major functions for the recovery should be considered as follows:
Vice President and Station Manager Responsible for selecting the Recovery Manager and the senior management personnel to fill the key positions in the long term recovery organization and for implementation and coordination of the recovery Operations Revision 15 9-3
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY (Continued)
- Recovery Manager The designated senior manager who has the requisite authority, experience and technical expertise to manage the recovery operations.

- Nuclear Communications Manager The designated manager responsible for the preparation and dissemination of news releases. This person reports to the Recovery Coordinator.
- Joint Information Center Director I The designated manager responsible for providing accurate and timely information to the public through the news media and coordinating this information with federal, state and local public relations officials. The Joint Information Center (JIC) Director will manage the JIC including liaison activities with the news media. This person reports to the Recovery Coordinator.
9.1.2.5 Facilities and Communications Four coordinated emergency facilities are activated for the recovery phase of the emergency response. These facilities are interconnected with communications systems to support the recovery operation. Figure 9-2 shows the facilities and communications flow. The four key facilities are:
- Technical Support Center The Technical Support Center provides a main communications link between the plant and the Recovery Center. The plant operations function is related to the requirements of the Plant Restart Manager.
- Operations Support Center This center is a staging area for shift personnel to report for instructions from the Restart Operations Manager or the Restart Operations Manager's staff. Communications are provided to the Control Room and Technical Support Center.
- Recovery Facility This facility is operated by the Recovery Manager and is the command center for all recovery operations and Emergency Plan functions under the control of the Recovery Manager. The Recovery Facility is located in the Emergency Operations Facility. It consists of two functions, The Recovery Center function operated by the Recovery Manager and the Joint Information Center function operated by the JIC Director. The JIC function may also make use of a separate news facility for major news conferences and briefings to the news media when appropriate.
Revision 15 9-6
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY (Continued) 9.1.2.6 Staffing the Recovery Team SCE is responsible for filling the key positions of section 9.1.2.4. The personnel to be assigned the various positions will depend upon the type of recovery response required. An up-to-date roster of SCE personnel who may be assigned to fill key positions in the recovery organization is maintained within the nuclear organization. The Vice President and Site Manager is responsible for assigning personnel to the recovery phase of the emergency from the current roster.
Assistance from outside SCE may be required to meet the needs of the recovery function. For this purpose, an inventory list of individuals and skills available as identified throughout the nuclear power industry is maintained by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) and current rosters made available to SCE.
9.1.2.7 Material, Equipment and Service Inventory A listing will be maintained by INPO of utility, vendor, construction and service equipment, materials and special services which might be required in emergency situations. This inventory will provide information on applicability, location and availability. It should be comprehensive and be maintained up-to-date. Appendix B contains a letter confirming that the INPO information is available to SCE.
9.2 REENTRY TO STATION Radiation Protection Procedures delineate precautions and instructions to ensure a safe re-entry into areas that have been evacuated during the emergency. Reentry will be made to perform essential tasks such as saving human life, controlling release of radioactive materials, and preventing additional damage to plant and equipment. Allowable occupancy times and applicable radiation exposure criteria for individuals performing these tasks will be determined by local area surveys. The criteria of 10CFR20 shall apply.
9.3 POST-ACCIDENT EVALUATION Following the termination of the emergency phase of the accident and the commencement of recovery operations, appropriate evaluations to assess Station conditions will be performed.
The outcome of these evaluations will form the basis of recovery planning and licensee event reports to the NRC. The scope of these evaluations will be consistent with the emergency classification, the nature of the initiating events, and the preliminary assessment of station equipment status.
One of the evaluations to be performed will be the estimation of the total population exposure that is the consequence of radioactivity releases during an emergency. Analyses will be performed to estimate population exposure from all applicable exposure pathways identified in Regulatory Guide 1.109. The analyses will utilize monitoring and sampling data obtained during the incident along with concurrent meteorology. The methodology for performing these analyses will be consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.109. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide guidance and methods for performing radiological analyses.
Revision 15 9-7
SONGS EMERGENCY PLAN 9.0 RECOVERY (Continued) 9.4 RESUMPTION OF OPERATION Station operation shall be permitted to resume only after repair or replacement of damaged systems. Compliance with these requirements will be assured by an operating review committee and completion of any licensing review and approvals.

(877)-680-2644 Please amend your procedures and records to include this important number.
WHEN TO NOTIFY ANI OF AN EMERGENCY Your ANI policies provide you coverage for "bodily injury" and "property damage" (terms defined in the policies), sustained by people who live or work or own homes or businesses near insured nuclear facilities due to a release or threatened release of nuclear material from one of those facilities. In the event of nuclear emergencies, it Is Important to notify American Nuclear Insurers as soon as possible. Timely notification enables ANI to properly respond to emergency situations.
Under what circumstances should ANI receive notification?
American Nudear Insurers must be notified as soon as possible in the event of a nuclear emergency that requires notifying State or Federal authorities. This includes transportation Incidents involving radioactive materials. This information is critical to ANI's decision to implement its emergency response plan.
In addition, for insured nuclear power reactor facilities, ANI must receive notification anytime one of the following conditions is declared:
- ALERT
- SITE AREA EMERGENCY
- GENERAL EMERGENCY The above criterion also applies when you are conducting a drill which simulates one or more of the above conditions.
We ask that your emergency plans be amended (if necessary) to contain AN I notification requirements.
Revision 21 A-30
ANI INFORMATION BULLETIN 11-01 Emergency Notification ProceduresForANI Policyholders It is particularly Important to notify American Nuclear Insurers of any situation that might cause authorities to order or recommend that off-site persons evacuate their homes and businesses because of an actual or potential release of radioactive material from an ANI insured facility or shipment.
Even if It appears to be only remotely probable that off-site persons will be affected, ANI must be notified so we can initiate our response plans in case the emergency escalates.

2 Revision 21 A-31
ANI INFORMATION BULLETIN 11-01 Emergency Notification ProceduresForANI Policyholders BACKGROUND Past experience demonstrates the need for follow-up communication since the information transmitted in the initial notification may be incomplete. It is essential that ANI receives up-to-date information from reliable technical sources regarding radioactive releases from the site, plant status, and impending protective actions for members of the public.
In order to assure that this type of follow-up information is available to ANI, we request through this bulletin that policyholders notifying ANI of a nuclear emergency be prepared to provide us with the name (preferably by position within the emergency organization or Risk Management Department), and telephone number of the Individual we can contact during a nuclear emergency for follow-up information.
Your company's ANI liaison should possess sufficient understanding of the nuclear facility and emergency plan to be able to discuss the technical aspects relating to plant status, accident prognosis and radioactive releases.
WHY ACCURATE INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT Accurate and timely information enables American Nuclear Insurers to make an appropriate response to a nuclear emergency situation.
In the event of an actual emergency, ANI is prepared to send claims adjusters to the scene to assist members of the public who are directed to evacuate their homes and businesses. These claims adjusters would help evacuees by providing them with financial assistance to defray the costs of temporary lodging, transportation, food and other related emergency expenses in accordance with the coverage afforded under our policies.
Accurate information will enable American Nuclear Insurers to evaluate both the need for sending adjusters into the field as well as to gauge the necessary magnitude of the response.
POLICYHOLDERS OTHER THAN POWER REACTOR OPERATORS American Nuclear Insurers' Emergency Response Procedures apply to all ANI Policy and Certificate holders.
