By application dated January 16, 2014 (Reference 1), Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.(DEK) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License Number DPR-43 forKewaunee Power Station (KPS). The proposed amendment would revise theradiological emergency response plan (proposing a Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP)) and revise the associated emergency action level (EAL) scheme(proposing a Permanently Defueled EAL (PDEAL) Scheme).
The proposed changeswere submitted to the NRC for approval prior to implementation, as required under 10CFR 50.54(q)(4) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.B.2. The application wassupplemented on June 19, 2014 (Reference 2).Subsequently, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) transmitted a request foradditional information (RAI) regarding the proposed amendment (Reference 3). TheRAI questions and associated DEK responses are provided below.NRC Question KPS-RAI-19 Under Section 6.4, "Functional Responsibilities,"
of the PDEP, please respond to thefollowing:
: a. NRC's evaluation of the requested exemption considers the licensee's ability topromptly implement mitigation measures for the SFP [spent fuel pool]. Pleaseexplain if KPS has performed an on-shift analysis for Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) functions to ensure sufficient personnel will be able to respondto a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory using the minimum shift staffing asindicated in Section 6.4.The response should include:* SFP mitigation strategies described in DEK's letters dated January 10, 2014,and April 29, 2014 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML14016A078 andML14126A005 respectively);
and,* All functional areas of the table in Section 6.4 to address any potential collateral duties.b. Please describe the personnel that are assigned on-shift to monitor personnel exposure and determine if radiological conditions exist that may preclude access tothe SFP to perform mitigation
: actions, if required.
Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 2 of 13Response:
: a. On-shift Analysis for ERO Functions.
DEK has performed an analysis for on-shift ERO functions to ensure sufficient personnel will be able to respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory.
The on-shift staffing analysis shows that sufficient personnel will be able to performrequired ERO functions, including response to a catastrophic loss of SFP waterinventory, using the shift staffing indicated in Section 6.4 of the PDEP.The on-shift incipient fire brigade (3 members) can initiate SFP mitigation strategies (described in DEK's letters dated January 10, 2014, and April 29, 2014) within 2 hoursfrom the time it is determined that external makeup is required.
The fire brigade iscomposed of a plant operator, security personnel (who are not relied upon to performsecurity response duties required by the physical security plan), or other qualified personnel who do not have other required emergency response duties. Therefore, sufficient personnel will be able to respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory using the minimum shift staffing, accounting for collateral duties, as indicated in Section6.4 of the PDEP.On-Shift Staffing Evaluation and ResultsThe approach used for the on-shift analysis of ERO functions is similar to the structured approach used to perform previous on-shift staffing analyses under the guidanceprovided in NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities."
The NEI methodology for developing the Emergency Planon-shift staffing licensing basis is composed of the following:
* Define the on-shift ERO staffing and response time requirements.
" Define the site-specific event scenarios described in the ISG." Perform an On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) for each event scenario.
* Perform a Time-Motion Study (TMS) to analyze the results of the OSA, if deemednecessary.
The on-shift staff consists of individuals necessary to support the Emergency Planfunctional areas described in PDEP Section 6.4. The response time used for thisanalysis was the maximum acceptable time between emergency declaration and theexpected action. The event is conservatively assumed to occur outside of normal workhours when only the required minimum on-shift positions are filled. On-shift staffpositions were evaluated, accounting for collateral duties, to ensure their capability toperform required tasks.The staffing analysis determined that sufficient on-shift personnel will be able torespond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory and promptly implement mitigation measures prior to arrival of ERO augmentation personnel.
A three member Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 3 of 13fire brigade is capable of setting up a portable pre-staged diesel-powered pump andinitiating water flow to the SFP within 2 hours. Prompt operator actions required tomitigate the emergency condition do not conflict with or prevent the timely performance of assigned emergency plan functions.
There are no on-shift collateral duties inhibiting implementation of the emergency plan.Revisions to the Proposed PDEPTo enhance the ERO, DEK is proposing to add an on-shift radiation technologist to theERO staffing listed in Section 6.4 and a two hour augmentation response time (reducedfrom four hours) in Section 6.2 of the PDEP.Declaration of an event, notification to State and county authorities, and communication to the NRC will be provided by the Shift Manager (SM)/Emergency Director (ED).Under normal conditions, the SM/ED provides an oversight/command and controlfunction and will continue to provide this function during a declared event. The eventassessment, classification, and declaration functions of the SM/ED will be carried out inseries and can readily be performed within the proposed time of 30 minutes.
Thenotification function of the SM/ED can be readily performed within the proposed time of60 minutes of event declaration.
Due to the limited number of events that can occur atKPS in the permanently defueled condition and the significant length of time that wouldbe needed to heat up the spent fuel pool before any actions are required, oversight/command and control would have a minimal impact on the ability of theSM/ED to perform his/her other emergency functions.
KPS relies on an on-site incipient fire brigade for fire response.
The incipient firebrigade typically consists of the on-shift plant operator as the Incident Commander andtwo designated members (these two designated members do not have other requiredresponse duties (three members total). Incipient fire responses consist of assessing thealarm condition and extinguishing small fires with fire extinguishers or small hand lines(manual hose systems used to apply extinguishing agents).
Offsite fire and rescueresources would be called to respond for fires having the potential to exceed theincipient fire response capability.
Duties and responsibilities of the fire brigade arecontained in the Fire Protection Program Plan.The table below lists on-shift positions and the augmented positions that fulfillemergency staffing capabilities.

FireBrigade personnel may be assigned other Emergency Plan functions (e.g. rescue and first aidtreatment, repair, and corrective actions).
** Provided by on-shift personnel who may be assigned other functions (e.g. Fire Brigade personnel orRadiation Technologist).
Response time is based upon Fire Protection Program Plan (fire fighting) or response capability ofoffsite organization (e.g., ambulance).
Fire Brigade members (3 personnel) are utilized to perform mitigating strategies required for acatastrophic loss of spent fuel pool inventory.
The above table appears in Section 6.4 of the PDEP (Table 6-1, Emergency ResponseOrganization Staffing).
The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter. Theassociated technical analysis and discussion of the change is provided in Attachment 2to this letter.b. Personnel Exposure and Radiological Conditions Monitoring On-shift personnel are trained in radiological monitoring to assess personnel exposureand determine whether radiological conditions exist that may preclude access to theSFP to perform mitigation
: actions, if required.
Such monitoring can be readilyperformed by on-shift personnel during the initial phase of an event. Personnel responding to areas around the SFP would be in possession of electronic dosimeters that can be used to monitor dose and dose rates. The Shift Manager has the capability Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 5 of 13to monitor plant conditions using installed area radiation monitors via the plant processcomputer system and plant operators are trained to self monitor using dose rate meters.Therefore, no specific personnel are needed on-shift solely to monitor personnel exposure or radiological conditions.
Although an on-shift staffing analysis shows that aspecific individual for the radiological assessment function is not required to be on-shiftto effectively respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory, the proposed PDEPhas been revised to include one Radiation Technologist as part of the on-shiftcomplement to enhance response capabilities for radiological monitoring (see Table 6-1contained in Section 6.4 of the PDEP).NRC Question KPS-RAI-20 The PDEP is based on the NRC's granting of exemptions from certain portions of 10CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E Section IV. The NRC staff based its evaluation of the DEK request for exemptions from EP requirements on site-specific analyses.
DEK's analysis is based on reasonable assurance that in granting the requested exemption to DEK: (1) an offsite radiological release will not exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) at the site boundary for adesign-basis accident; and (2) in the unlikely event of a severe beyond design-basis accident resulting in a loss of air cooling, there is sufficient time to initiate appropriate mitigating actions and if a release is projected to occur, there is sufficient time for offsiteagencies to take protective actions using a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) to protect the health and safety of the public.Under Section 6.4, "Functional Responsibilities,"
of the PDEP, please respond to thefollowing:
: a. Historically, the NRC staff has generally approved a range of ERO augmentation times of 1 to 2 hours. Provide further justification why a 4-hour ERO augmentation time is acceptable, in the event of a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory, tosuccessfully implement required mitigation
: actions, and, if necessary, for offsiteresponse organizations to implement early protective measures.
 
===Response===
Initiation of required mitigation actions is performed by the on-shift staff without a needfor ERO augmentation.
As discussed in the response to NRC Question 19 above, DEK has revised theproposed PDEP to specify a two-hour ERO augmentation time rather than a four-hour ERO augmentation time. The analysis described in the response to NRC Question 19concludes that a two-hour augmentation time in the event of a catastrophic loss of spentfuel pool (SFP) water inventory is adequate to successfully implement requiredmitigation
: actions, and if necessary, for offsite response organizations to implement Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 6 of 13early protective measures.
In addition, a radiation technologist has been added to thePDEP staffing table as an on-shift asset to enhance response capabilities forradiological monitoring.
The KPS PDEP has been revised accordingly (see PDEP Sections 6.2 and 6.4). Therevised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-21 Section 8.0, "Emergency Classification System,"
of the PDEP, states, in part, "Onceindications are available to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) hasbeen met, the event is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is declared."
The proposed exemption to rule language is as follows:B" june 20, 2012, nuc..a .pewc. rc..to. licensees shall establish and maintainthe capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition w"thIn 46minuteo after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. ...The information provided in Section 8.0 does not appear to meet the intent of theregulations, as modified by the proposed exemption, to ensure the prompt declaration ofan emergency condition.
Please revise accordingly or provide further justification forretaining existing language.
 
===Response===
Section 8.0 of the PDEP has been revised to state the following:
"Once indications areavailable to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) has been met, theevent is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification levelis promptly declared as soon as possible, and within 30 minutes."
The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.
Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 7 of 13NRC Question KPS-RAI-22 Appendix E.IV.E.9.a, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production andUtilization Facilities,"
to 10 CFR 50 requires that State/local and the NRCcommunication methods be tested monthly.
Section 10.0, "Emergency Communications,"
of the KPS PDEP does not provide any information as to the testingrequirements and frequency for the listed communications systems.
Please clarifywhether this information is provided in any other procedure, and if so, submit a copy forstaff review.Response:
Section 10.0 of the PDEP has been revised to specify the testing requirements andfrequency for State/local and NRC communication systems consistent with therequirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.IV.E.9.a.
The testing frequency for eachcommunication system is specified in Table 10-1, "Communication Systems."
Thetesting frequency "Frequent Use" in Table 10-1 indicates that the associated equipment is normally used at a sufficiently high regularity (e.g., multiple times each day), such thatseparate additional testing is not needed. Functionality of these communications systems is verified through normal (frequent) use.For the Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS) and the ERO callout system,performance of the drill requirements specified in Section 18 of the PDEP satisfies thetesting frequency (in lieu of performing a separate test) because the associated communication equipment is used sufficiently during the drill to verify its functionality.
The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-23 Please provide additional detail in Section 12.0, "Emergency Equipment and Facilities,"
and Appendix A, "Emergency Equipment, Supplies and Reference Material,"
of theproposed KPS PDEP, consistent with information that supports NUREG-0654 evaluation criteria H.1 0 and H.11. For example, Appendix A does not list anyemergency supplies or radiation protection equipment.
 
===Response===
Section 12.0 of the PDEP has been revised to address NUREG-0654 evaluation criteriaH.10. This section specifies that emergency equipment and reference materials areinspected, inventoried, and operationally checked each calendar quarter and after eachuse. There are sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment to replace those which areremoved from emergency kits for calibration or repair. Calibration of equipment isperformed at intervals recommended by the supplier of the equipment.
Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 8 of 13Appendix A of the PDEP has been revised to address NUREG-0654 evaluation criteriaH.11. Additional detail regarding emergency supplies and radiation protection equipment was added to this appendix.
The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-24 Section 14.0, "Protective Response,"
of the KPS PDEP states, in part, "Accountability ofall personnel onsite should be accomplished within 60 minutes after the announcement and maintained thereafter."
Please revise accordingly to reflect the 60-minutes timeclock starting at event declaration or provide further justification for retaining existinglanguage.
 
===Response===
Section 14.0 of the PDEP has been revised to reflect that the 60-minute time starts atevent declaration.
The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-25 Please clarify how Section 15.0, "Radiological Exposure,"
of the KPS PDEP addresses NUREG-0654 evaluation criteria K.3.a.Response:
NUREG-0654 Evaluation Criterion K.3.a states the following.
: a. Each organization shall make provision for 24-hour-per-day capability to determine the doses received by emergency personnel involved in any nuclear accident, including volunteers.
Each organization shall make provisions for distribution ofdosimeters, both self-reading and permanent record devices.b. Each organization shall ensure that dosimeters are read at appropriate frequencies and provide for maintaining dose records for emergency workers involved in anynuclear accident.
The PDEP has been enhanced to address NUREG-0654 Evaluation Criterion K.3.a(see PDEP Section 15.0) in response to the staffs question.
In particular, the PDEPspecifies the following:
"Emergency workers are issued permanent reading dosimeters (e.g.thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)) as a means for recording exposure for Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 9 of 13permanent records prior to entering a radiologically controlled area. Additionally, personnel are issued electronic alarming dosimetry capable of measuring dose anddose rate on a real time basis. Emergency workers are instructed to read theirdosimeters frequently.
The dosimetry provides 24 hours per day capability todetermine the dose received by each emergency worker.Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures."
The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-26 Section 18.0, "Exercise and Drills,"
of the KPS PDEP does not differentiate betweenequipment checks and performance enhancing drills for communications.
State andcounty governments require monthly testing as stated in Appendix E.IV.E.9.a, with anannual performance enhancing drill as stated in NUREG-0654.1 1.N.2.a.
Please clarify ifthis information is provided in any other procedure, and if so, submit a copy for the NRCstaffs review.Response:
Section 18.0 of the PDEP has been revised to clarify the difference between equipment checks (tests) and performance enhancing drills for communications.
The equipment and proficiency drills listed in Section 18.0 are identified as being conducted for thepurpose of training, developing, and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders.
Equipment and Proficiency drills may be performed as part of an exercise, a drill, or as an independent drill.Additional clarifying information was added to Section 18.0 of the PDEP in thesubsections titled "Communications Drills,"
"Augmentation Capability Assessment (ACA) Drills,"
and "Critique and Evaluation."
The response to NRC Question KPS-RAI-22 (above) provides additional information regarding communications (associated with Section 10.0 of the PDEP).The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-27 In several sections of the KPS PDEP, the expected level of detail needed to supportreview of the PDEP seems to have been placed within the associated implementing procedure.
Please submit, for the NRC staffs review, the following procedures listed inAppendix B, "Cross Reference Table -PDEP Section to Planning Standards/
Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 10 of 13Requirements/Criteria to Procedures,"
of the KPS PDEP, or consider adopting theappropriate information from these procedures (consistent with the criteria from theattached draft emergency plan review guide) into the PDEP, thus removing the need toreview these procedures:

==1.0 INTRODUCTION==
 
The Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) describes the station's plan forresponding to emergencies that may arise at Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) while in apermanently shutdown and defueled configuration.
Irradiated fuel is stored in the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and in the Spent Fuel Pool. In this condition, noreactor operations can take place and the station is prohibited from moving the fuel from theSpent Fuel Pool to the reactor vessel. This PDEP adequately addresses the risks associated with KPS's current conditions.
The analyses of the potential radiological impacts of postulated accidents in a permanently defueled condition indicates that any releases beyond the Site Boundary would be below theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guide (PAG) exposure levels, asdetailed in the EPA's "Protective Action Guide and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents,"
Draft for Interim Use and Public Comment dated March 2013 (PAG Manual).Exposure levels, which warrant pre-planned response
: measures, are limited to onsite areas.1.1 PURPOSEThe purpose of the PDEP is to assure an adequate level of preparedness to cope with thespectrum of emergencies that could be postulated to occur, including means to minimizeradiation exposure to plant personnel.
This plan integrates the necessary elements to provideeffective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of organizations expected to respond to potential emergencies.
1.2 SCOPEThe PDEP has been developed to respond to potential radiological emergencies at KPSconsidering the permanently shutdown and defueled status of the plant. Because there are nopostulated accidents that would result in offsite dose consequences that are large enough torequire offsite emergency
: planning, the overall scope of this plan delineates the actionsnecessary to safeguard onsite personnel and minimize damage to property.
The concepts presented in this plan address the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR50.47, "Emergency Plans," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning andPreparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."
The plan is consistent with theapplicable guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria forPreparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness inSupport of Nuclear Power Plants."Exemption from selected portions of 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E for KewauneePower Station were granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) per XXX.The PDEP revision 0 was approved for use by the NRC per Safety Evaluation Report (SER)XXX.I
 
==2.0 DISCUSSION==
2.1 OVERVIEW OF PERMANENTLY DEFUELED EMERGENCY PLAN (PDEP)In the event of an emergency at the plant, actions are required to identify and assess thenature of the emergency and to bring it under control in a manner that protects the health andsafety of plant personnel.
This plan is activated by the Shift Manager/Emergency Director (ED) upon identification of anemergency situation based upon the Emergency Action Level criteria.
The emergency measures described in the subsequent sections and implementing procedures areimplemented in accordance with the classification and nature of the emergency at the direction of the ED.This Plan describes the organization and responsibilities for implementing emergency measures.
It describes interfaces with Federal, State of Wisconsin, and Kewaunee Countyorganizations which may be notified in the event of an emergency, and may provideassistance.
Fire, ambulance, and law enforcement services are provided by local publicentities.
Medical services are provided by Aurora Medical Center in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Because there are no postulated accidents that would result in offsite dose consequences thatare large enough to require offsite emergency
: planning, emergencies are divided into twoclassifications:
: 1) Notification of Unusual Event (Unusual Event) and 2) Alert.KPS is responsible for planning and implementing emergency measures within the SiteBoundary.
This plan is provided to meet this responsibility.
To carry out specific emergency measures discussed in this Plan, detailed implementing procedures are established andmaintained.
In addition to the description of activities and steps that can be implemented during a potential emergency, this Plan also provides a general description of the steps taken to recover from anemergency situation.
It also describes the training, drills/exercises,
: planning, and coordination appropriate to maintain an adequate level of emergency preparedness.
2.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Kewaunee Power Station has ceased power operations and is permanently defueled.
OnMay 14, 2013, the station certified permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii). The 10 CFR 50 license for KPS no longerauthorizes operation of the reactor, and emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactorvessel, as specified in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2).
The plant consists of a single unit Westinghouse Electric Corporation Pressurized WaterReactor.
The reactor design core power was 1,772 megawatts thermal and gross plantelectrical output was approximately 600 megawatts electric.
An Independent Spent FuelStorage Installation (ISFSI) is located on the plant site.The plant is located in the town of Carlton, Kewaunee County, along the west shore of LakeMichigan in east central Wisconsin.
The topography of the region is gently rolling to flat, withelevations varying from 10 to 100 feet above the level of Lake Michigan.
The land surrounding the site slopes gradually east towards Lake Michigan from the higher elevations in the west.2 At the northern and southern perimeters of the site, bluffs form the boundary between the plantsite and Lake Michigan.

Lettersof Agreement are in place for those local agencies (Fire, Ambulance and Local LawEnforcement) that will respond to the site, and for the hospital that will treat a contaminated injured individual from the site. Letters of Agreement for each agency are maintained on file atKPS.Fire, Ambulance and LLEA response is at the request and direction of the Emergency Directoras previously discussed in Section 5.2 of this Plan.The Emergency Director is authorized to request Federal assistance as needed. The NuclearRegulatory Commission (NRC) will act as the lead Federal agency providing coordination andsupport in response to a nuclear incident.
As requested, office space, telephone service andstation liaison will be designated to assist NRC personnel during the emergency.
8.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMA standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which includefacility system and effluent parameters, is in use. This section describes KPS emergency classifications, initiating events, emergency action levels, and postulated emergency situations.
EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMThe emergency classification system covers an entire spectrum of possible radiological andnon-radiological emergencies at the Kewaunee Power Station.
The emergency classification system categorizes accidents and/or emergency situations into one of two emergency classification levels depending on emergency conditions at the time of the incident.
Theemergency classification levels applicable at Kewaunee Power Station, in order of increasing
: severity, are Unusual Event and Alert. Each of these emergency classes requires notification to the station's ERO, State and county agencies, as well as the NRC.The emergency classification system is based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development ofEmergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors".
Once indications are available to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) hasbeen met, the event is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is promptly declared as soon as possible, and within 30 minutes.Notification to the State and county offsite authorities and the NRC is required within 60minutes of the event being declared.
Incidents may be classified in a lower emergency classification level at first and then escalated to the higher level if the situation deteriorates.
13 The following subsections outline the plant actions at each classification level. Refer toPermanently Defueled Emergency Action Level Technical Bases for actual parameter values,annunciators, and equipment status used by emergency response personnel to classifyemergencies.
Actions associated with an Unusual Event:" Bring the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to a state of readiness.
" Notify Federal, State, and county government authorities.
" Initiate the systematic handling of information and decision making." Augment shift personnel, if needed.The Unusual Event status will be maintained until an escalation in emergency class occurs orthe event is terminated.
Offsite authorities will be informed of the change in the emergency status and the necessary documentation will be completed as specified in the Emergency PlanImplementing Procedures.
Actions associated with an Alert:" Activate the Emergency Response Organization (ERO)." Notify Federal, State, and county government authorities.
" Initiate the systematic handling of information and decision making.* Initiate immediate and follow-up notification(s) including current plant status information tooffsite authorities.
The Alert status shall be maintained until termination of the event or de-escalation inemergency class occurs. The plant may enter recovery operation without de-escalating from adeclared Alert. Offsite authorities will be informed of the change in the emergency status andthe necessary documentation shall be completed as specified in the Emergency PlanImplementing Procedures.
SPECTRUM OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The Updated Safety Analysis Report Chapter 14 describes the postulated accidents applicable to Kewaunee Power Station.
Methods for detecting and evaluating for emergency classification of these events include the use of installed
: systems, instrumentation, alarms, andapproved procedures.
9.0 NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee, of State and localorganizations and for notification of emergency personnel by all organizations; the content ofinitial and follow-up messages to response organizations has been established.
ERO Activation The ERO is activated by a plant announcement and by the ERO callout system directed by theEmergency Director.
14 Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS)NARS is a communication process used to notify the State and county agencies of a declaredemergency.
The NARS form contains information that identifies the station, emergency classification, Emergency Action Level (EAL), and radiological release status. Notification tothe State and county agencies will be made within 60 minutes of event classification, and theprocess includes a means of message verification.
Notification using NARS is theresponsibility of the Emergency Director.

Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 2 of 13Response:

a. On-shift Analysis for ERO Functions.

DEK has performed an analysis for on-shift ERO functions to ensure sufficient personnel will be able to respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory.

The on-shift staffing analysis shows that sufficient personnel will be able to performrequired ERO functions, including response to a catastrophic loss of SFP waterinventory, using the shift staffing indicated in Section 6.4 of the PDEP.The on-shift incipient fire brigade (3 members) can initiate SFP mitigation strategies (described in DEK's letters dated January 10, 2014, and April 29, 2014) within 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />sfrom the time it is determined that external makeup is required.

The fire brigade iscomposed of a plant operator, security personnel (who are not relied upon to performsecurity response duties required by the physical security plan), or other qualified personnel who do not have other required emergency response duties. Therefore, sufficient personnel will be able to respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory using the minimum shift staffing, accounting for collateral duties, as indicated in Section6.4 of the PDEP.On-Shift Staffing Evaluation and ResultsThe approach used for the on-shift analysis of ERO functions is similar to the structured approach used to perform previous on-shift staffing analyses under the guidanceprovided in NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities."

The NEI methodology for developing the Emergency Planon-shift staffing licensing basis is composed of the following:

  • Define the on-shift ERO staffing and response time requirements.

" Define the site-specific event scenarios described in the ISG." Perform an On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) for each event scenario.

  • Perform a Time-Motion Study (TMS) to analyze the results of the OSA, if deemednecessary.

The on-shift staff consists of individuals necessary to support the Emergency Planfunctional areas described in PDEP Section 6.4. The response time used for thisanalysis was the maximum acceptable time between emergency declaration and theexpected action. The event is conservatively assumed to occur outside of normal workhours when only the required minimum on-shift positions are filled. On-shift staffpositions were evaluated, accounting for collateral duties, to ensure their capability toperform required tasks.The staffing analysis determined that sufficient on-shift personnel will be able torespond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory and promptly implement mitigation measures prior to arrival of ERO augmentation personnel.

A three member Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 3 of 13fire brigade is capable of setting up a portable pre-staged diesel-powered pump andinitiating water flow to the SFP within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Prompt operator actions required tomitigate the emergency condition do not conflict with or prevent the timely performance of assigned emergency plan functions.

There are no on-shift collateral duties inhibiting implementation of the emergency plan.Revisions to the Proposed PDEPTo enhance the ERO, DEK is proposing to add an on-shift radiation technologist to theERO staffing listed in Section 6.4 and a two hour augmentation response time (reducedfrom four hours) in Section 6.2 of the PDEP.Declaration of an event, notification to State and county authorities, and communication to the NRC will be provided by the Shift Manager (SM)/Emergency Director (ED).Under normal conditions, the SM/ED provides an oversight/command and controlfunction and will continue to provide this function during a declared event. The eventassessment, classification, and declaration functions of the SM/ED will be carried out inseries and can readily be performed within the proposed time of 30 minutes.

Thenotification function of the SM/ED can be readily performed within the proposed time of60 minutes of event declaration.

Due to the limited number of events that can occur atKPS in the permanently defueled condition and the significant length of time that wouldbe needed to heat up the spent fuel pool before any actions are required, oversight/command and control would have a minimal impact on the ability of theSM/ED to perform his/her other emergency functions.

KPS relies on an on-site incipient fire brigade for fire response.

The incipient firebrigade typically consists of the on-shift plant operator as the Incident Commander andtwo designated members (these two designated members do not have other requiredresponse duties (three members total). Incipient fire responses consist of assessing thealarm condition and extinguishing small fires with fire extinguishers or small hand lines(manual hose systems used to apply extinguishing agents).

Offsite fire and rescueresources would be called to respond for fires having the potential to exceed theincipient fire response capability.

Duties and responsibilities of the fire brigade arecontained in the Fire Protection Program Plan.The table below lists on-shift positions and the augmented positions that fulfillemergency staffing capabilities.

Response time is based upon Fire Protection Program Plan (fire fighting) or response capability ofoffsite organization (e.g., ambulance).

Fire Brigade members (3 personnel) are utilized to perform mitigating strategies required for acatastrophic loss of spent fuel pool inventory.

The above table appears in Section 6.4 of the PDEP (Table 6-1, Emergency ResponseOrganization Staffing).

The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter. Theassociated technical analysis and discussion of the change is provided in Attachment 2to this letter.b. Personnel Exposure and Radiological Conditions Monitoring On-shift personnel are trained in radiological monitoring to assess personnel exposureand determine whether radiological conditions exist that may preclude access to theSFP to perform mitigation

actions, if required.

Such monitoring can be readilyperformed by on-shift personnel during the initial phase of an event. Personnel responding to areas around the SFP would be in possession of electronic dosimeters that can be used to monitor dose and dose rates. The Shift Manager has the capability Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 5 of 13to monitor plant conditions using installed area radiation monitors via the plant processcomputer system and plant operators are trained to self monitor using dose rate meters.Therefore, no specific personnel are needed on-shift solely to monitor personnel exposure or radiological conditions.

Although an on-shift staffing analysis shows that aspecific individual for the radiological assessment function is not required to be on-shiftto effectively respond to a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory, the proposed PDEPhas been revised to include one Radiation Technologist as part of the on-shiftcomplement to enhance response capabilities for radiological monitoring (see Table 6-1contained in Section 6.4 of the PDEP).NRC Question KPS-RAI-20 The PDEP is based on the NRC's granting of exemptions from certain portions of 10CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E Section IV. The NRC staff based its evaluation of the DEK request for exemptions from EP requirements on site-specific analyses.

DEK's analysis is based on reasonable assurance that in granting the requested exemption to DEK: (1) an offsite radiological release will not exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) at the site boundary for adesign-basis accident; and (2) in the unlikely event of a severe beyond design-basis accident resulting in a loss of air cooling, there is sufficient time to initiate appropriate mitigating actions and if a release is projected to occur, there is sufficient time for offsiteagencies to take protective actions using a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP) to protect the health and safety of the public.Under Section 6.4, "Functional Responsibilities,"

of the PDEP, please respond to thefollowing:

a. Historically, the NRC staff has generally approved a range of ERO augmentation times of 1 to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Provide further justification why a 4-hour ERO augmentation time is acceptable, in the event of a catastrophic loss of SFP water inventory, tosuccessfully implement required mitigation
actions, and, if necessary, for offsiteresponse organizations to implement early protective measures.

Response

Initiation of required mitigation actions is performed by the on-shift staff without a needfor ERO augmentation.

As discussed in the response to NRC Question 19 above, DEK has revised theproposed PDEP to specify a two-hour ERO augmentation time rather than a four-hour ERO augmentation time. The analysis described in the response to NRC Question 19concludes that a two-hour augmentation time in the event of a catastrophic loss of spentfuel pool (SFP) water inventory is adequate to successfully implement requiredmitigation

actions, and if necessary, for offsite response organizations to implement Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 6 of 13early protective measures.

In addition, a radiation technologist has been added to thePDEP staffing table as an on-shift asset to enhance response capabilities forradiological monitoring.

The KPS PDEP has been revised accordingly (see PDEP Sections 6.2 and 6.4). Therevised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-21 Section 8.0, "Emergency Classification System,"

of the PDEP, states, in part, "Onceindications are available to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) hasbeen met, the event is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is declared."

The proposed exemption to rule language is as follows:B" june 20, 2012, nuc..a .pewc. rc..to. licensees shall establish and maintainthe capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition w"thIn 46minuteo after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and shall promptly declare the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level. ...The information provided in Section 8.0 does not appear to meet the intent of theregulations, as modified by the proposed exemption, to ensure the prompt declaration ofan emergency condition.

Please revise accordingly or provide further justification forretaining existing language.

Response

Section 8.0 of the PDEP has been revised to state the following:

"Once indications areavailable to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) has been met, theevent is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification levelis promptly declared as soon as possible, and within 30 minutes."

The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.

Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 7 of 13NRC Question KPS-RAI-22 Appendix E.IV.E.9.a, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production andUtilization Facilities,"

to 10 CFR 50 requires that State/local and the NRCcommunication methods be tested monthly.

Section 10.0, "Emergency Communications,"

of the KPS PDEP does not provide any information as to the testingrequirements and frequency for the listed communications systems.

Please clarifywhether this information is provided in any other procedure, and if so, submit a copy forstaff review.Response:

Section 10.0 of the PDEP has been revised to specify the testing requirements andfrequency for State/local and NRC communication systems consistent with therequirements in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.IV.E.9.a.

The testing frequency for eachcommunication system is specified in Table 10-1, "Communication Systems."

Thetesting frequency "Frequent Use" in Table 10-1 indicates that the associated equipment is normally used at a sufficiently high regularity (e.g., multiple times each day), such thatseparate additional testing is not needed. Functionality of these communications systems is verified through normal (frequent) use.For the Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS) and the ERO callout system,performance of the drill requirements specified in Section 18 of the PDEP satisfies thetesting frequency (in lieu of performing a separate test) because the associated communication equipment is used sufficiently during the drill to verify its functionality.

The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-23 Please provide additional detail in Section 12.0, "Emergency Equipment and Facilities,"

and Appendix A, "Emergency Equipment, Supplies and Reference Material,"

of theproposed KPS PDEP, consistent with information that supports NUREG-0654 evaluation criteria H.1 0 and H.11. For example, Appendix A does not list anyemergency supplies or radiation protection equipment.

Response

Section 12.0 of the PDEP has been revised to address NUREG-0654 evaluation criteriaH.10. This section specifies that emergency equipment and reference materials areinspected, inventoried, and operationally checked each calendar quarter and after eachuse. There are sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment to replace those which areremoved from emergency kits for calibration or repair. Calibration of equipment isperformed at intervals recommended by the supplier of the equipment.

Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 8 of 13Appendix A of the PDEP has been revised to address NUREG-0654 evaluation criteriaH.11. Additional detail regarding emergency supplies and radiation protection equipment was added to this appendix.

The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-24 Section 14.0, "Protective Response,"

of the KPS PDEP states, in part, "Accountability ofall personnel onsite should be accomplished within 60 minutes after the announcement and maintained thereafter."

Please revise accordingly to reflect the 60-minutes timeclock starting at event declaration or provide further justification for retaining existinglanguage.

Response

Section 14.0 of the PDEP has been revised to reflect that the 60-minute time starts atevent declaration.

The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-25 Please clarify how Section 15.0, "Radiological Exposure,"

of the KPS PDEP addresses NUREG-0654 evaluation criteria K.3.a.Response:

NUREG-0654 Evaluation Criterion K.3.a states the following.

a. Each organization shall make provision for 24-hour-per-day capability to determine the doses received by emergency personnel involved in any nuclear accident, including volunteers.

Each organization shall make provisions for distribution ofdosimeters, both self-reading and permanent record devices.b. Each organization shall ensure that dosimeters are read at appropriate frequencies and provide for maintaining dose records for emergency workers involved in anynuclear accident.

The PDEP has been enhanced to address NUREG-0654 Evaluation Criterion K.3.a(see PDEP Section 15.0) in response to the staffs question.

In particular, the PDEPspecifies the following:

"Emergency workers are issued permanent reading dosimeters (e.g.thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)) as a means for recording exposure for Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 9 of 13permanent records prior to entering a radiologically controlled area. Additionally, personnel are issued electronic alarming dosimetry capable of measuring dose anddose rate on a real time basis. Emergency workers are instructed to read theirdosimeters frequently.

The dosimetry provides 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day capability todetermine the dose received by each emergency worker.Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures."

The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-26 Section 18.0, "Exercise and Drills,"

of the KPS PDEP does not differentiate betweenequipment checks and performance enhancing drills for communications.

State andcounty governments require monthly testing as stated in Appendix E.IV.E.9.a, with anannual performance enhancing drill as stated in NUREG-0654.1 1.N.2.a.

Please clarify ifthis information is provided in any other procedure, and if so, submit a copy for the NRCstaffs review.Response:

Section 18.0 of the PDEP has been revised to clarify the difference between equipment checks (tests) and performance enhancing drills for communications.

The equipment and proficiency drills listed in Section 18.0 are identified as being conducted for thepurpose of training, developing, and maintaining the proficiency of emergency responders.

Equipment and Proficiency drills may be performed as part of an exercise, a drill, or as an independent drill.Additional clarifying information was added to Section 18.0 of the PDEP in thesubsections titled "Communications Drills,"

"Augmentation Capability Assessment (ACA) Drills,"

and "Critique and Evaluation."

The response to NRC Question KPS-RAI-22 (above) provides additional information regarding communications (associated with Section 10.0 of the PDEP).The revised PDEP is provided as Enclosure 1 to this letter.NRC Question KPS-RAI-27 In several sections of the KPS PDEP, the expected level of detail needed to supportreview of the PDEP seems to have been placed within the associated implementing procedure.

Please submit, for the NRC staffs review, the following procedures listed inAppendix B, "Cross Reference Table -PDEP Section to Planning Standards/

Serial No. 14-427Attachment 1Page 10 of 13Requirements/Criteria to Procedures,"

The proposed amendment would revise theradiological emergency response plan and associated emergency action level (EAL)scheme. The proposed changes were submitted to the NRC for approval prior toimplementation, as required under 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E,Section IV.B.2. The application was supplemented on June 19, 2014 (Reference 2).In response to an NRC staff request for additional information (Reference

3) regarding content and level of detail of the proposed Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan(PDEP), DEK is revising the amendment request.

The revisions contained in thissupplement add detail to the PDEP as discussed in the response to the NRC staffsrequest for additional information.

A discussion of changes and technical analysis for this supplement is provided below.Enclosure 1 to this letter provides the proposed PDEP which incorporates the revisions contained in this supplement.

The EAL scheme and the comparison matrix that was provided in Reference 1, as wellas the EAL basis document provided in Reference 2, remain unchanged and areapplicable to this supplement.

The analyses provided in Reference 1 remain applicable and bounding to this proposed change. The conclusions of the no significant hazardsconsideration and the environmental considerations contained in Reference 1 are notaffected by, and also remain applicable to, this supplement.

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEThis supplement to the proposed amendment would modify the KPS license withadditional changes to the proposed PDEP as discussed in the response to the NRCstaff's request for additional information in Reference

3. These additional changesconsist of enhancements to the level of detail of the PDEP.

Serial No. 14-427Attachment 2Page 2 of 4The revised PDEP is provided in Enclosure 1 and replaces the previously submitted PDEP in its entirety.

The EAL scheme that was provided in the original submittal (asEnclosure 2 to Reference 1), as well as the EAL basis document provided in Reference 2, remain unchanged.

3.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSISThe technical analyses provided in the originally submitted LAR 257 remain applicable to, and unaltered by, this supplement.

Enclosure 1 to this submittal provides a revised version of the originally proposedKewaunee Power Station (KPS) Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) forNRC review and approval.

The revised PDEP addresses the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR 50.47, "Emergency Plans," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E,"Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities,"

and isconsistent with the applicable guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."

The changesmade to the PDEP in this supplement are either more restrictive from those that wereoriginally

proposed, clarifications, or editorial.

As such, they are bounded by thetechnical analyses provided in the originally submitted LAR 257.The KPS Permanently Defueled Emergency Action Level (PDEAL) scheme previously provided for NRC review and approval as Enclosure 2 to Reference 1, including itsaccompanying comparison matrix (between each generic EAL contained in NEI 99-01,Revision 6 (Reference

4) and the proposed KPS specific PDEAL), is unaltered by thissupplement.

As stated in the original submittal, the proposed EALs are only applicable to the permanently defueled station condition, with all reactor fuel permanently removedfrom reactor vessel.The technical basis document for each recognition category in the proposed EALscheme, previously provided for NRC review and approval as Enclosure 2 to Reference 2, is also unaltered by this supplement.

4.0 SUMMARYThe proposed amendment (as supplemented) would revise both the PDEP and theemergency action level (EAL) scheme (including its basis document) to reflect thepermanently defueled condition of the station.

The revised PDEP and EAL scheme(including its basis document) are being submitted to the NRC for approval prior toimplementation, as required under Section IV.B.2 of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 and10 CFR 50.54(q)(4).

Serial No. 14-427Attachment 2Page 3 of 4The proposed PDEP does not meet all standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. However, DEK previously submitted requests forexemptions from portions of 10 CFR 50.47(b),

10 CFR 50.47(c)(2),

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Permanently Defueled Emergency Plan (PDEP) describes the station's plan forresponding to emergencies that may arise at Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) while in apermanently shutdown and defueled configuration.

Irradiated fuel is stored in the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) and in the Spent Fuel Pool. In this condition, noreactor operations can take place and the station is prohibited from moving the fuel from theSpent Fuel Pool to the reactor vessel. This PDEP adequately addresses the risks associated with KPS's current conditions.

The analyses of the potential radiological impacts of postulated accidents in a permanently defueled condition indicates that any releases beyond the Site Boundary would be below theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guide (PAG) exposure levels, asdetailed in the EPA's "Protective Action Guide and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents,"

Draft for Interim Use and Public Comment dated March 2013 (PAG Manual).Exposure levels, which warrant pre-planned response

measures, are limited to onsite areas.1.1 PURPOSEThe purpose of the PDEP is to assure an adequate level of preparedness to cope with thespectrum of emergencies that could be postulated to occur, including means to minimizeradiation exposure to plant personnel.

This plan integrates the necessary elements to provideeffective emergency response considering cooperation and coordination of organizations expected to respond to potential emergencies.

1.2 SCOPEThe PDEP has been developed to respond to potential radiological emergencies at KPSconsidering the permanently shutdown and defueled status of the plant. Because there are nopostulated accidents that would result in offsite dose consequences that are large enough torequire offsite emergency

planning, the overall scope of this plan delineates the actionsnecessary to safeguard onsite personnel and minimize damage to property.

The concepts presented in this plan address the applicable regulations stipulated in 10 CFR50.47, "Emergency Plans," and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning andPreparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."

The plan is consistent with theapplicable guidelines established in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, "Criteria forPreparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness inSupport of Nuclear Power Plants."Exemption from selected portions of 10 CFR 50.47 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E for KewauneePower Station were granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) per XXX.The PDEP revision 0 was approved for use by the NRC per Safety Evaluation Report (SER)XXX.I

2.0 DISCUSSION

2.1 OVERVIEW OF PERMANENTLY DEFUELED EMERGENCY PLAN (PDEP)In the event of an emergency at the plant, actions are required to identify and assess thenature of the emergency and to bring it under control in a manner that protects the health andsafety of plant personnel.

This plan is activated by the Shift Manager/Emergency Director (ED) upon identification of anemergency situation based upon the Emergency Action Level criteria.

The emergency measures described in the subsequent sections and implementing procedures areimplemented in accordance with the classification and nature of the emergency at the direction of the ED.This Plan describes the organization and responsibilities for implementing emergency measures.

It describes interfaces with Federal, State of Wisconsin, and Kewaunee Countyorganizations which may be notified in the event of an emergency, and may provideassistance.

Fire, ambulance, and law enforcement services are provided by local publicentities.

Medical services are provided by Aurora Medical Center in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.

Because there are no postulated accidents that would result in offsite dose consequences thatare large enough to require offsite emergency

planning, emergencies are divided into twoclassifications:
1) Notification of Unusual Event (Unusual Event) and 2) Alert.KPS is responsible for planning and implementing emergency measures within the SiteBoundary.

This plan is provided to meet this responsibility.

To carry out specific emergency measures discussed in this Plan, detailed implementing procedures are established andmaintained.

In addition to the description of activities and steps that can be implemented during a potential emergency, this Plan also provides a general description of the steps taken to recover from anemergency situation.

It also describes the training, drills/exercises,

planning, and coordination appropriate to maintain an adequate level of emergency preparedness.

2.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Kewaunee Power Station has ceased power operations and is permanently defueled.

OnMay 14, 2013, the station certified permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and (ii). The 10 CFR 50 license for KPS no longerauthorizes operation of the reactor, and emplacement or retention of fuel into the reactorvessel, as specified in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2).

The plant consists of a single unit Westinghouse Electric Corporation Pressurized WaterReactor.

The reactor design core power was 1,772 megawatts thermal and gross plantelectrical output was approximately 600 megawatts electric.

An Independent Spent FuelStorage Installation (ISFSI) is located on the plant site.The plant is located in the town of Carlton, Kewaunee County, along the west shore of LakeMichigan in east central Wisconsin.

The topography of the region is gently rolling to flat, withelevations varying from 10 to 100 feet above the level of Lake Michigan.

The land surrounding the site slopes gradually east towards Lake Michigan from the higher elevations in the west.2 At the northern and southern perimeters of the site, bluffs form the boundary between the plantsite and Lake Michigan.

Letters of Agreement for each agency are maintained on file atKPS.Fire, Ambulance and LLEA response is at the request and direction of the Emergency Directoras previously discussed in Section 5.2 of this Plan.The Emergency Director is authorized to request Federal assistance as needed. The NuclearRegulatory Commission (NRC) will act as the lead Federal agency providing coordination andsupport in response to a nuclear incident.

As requested, office space, telephone service andstation liaison will be designated to assist NRC personnel during the emergency.

8.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMA standard emergency classification and action level scheme, the bases of which includefacility system and effluent parameters, is in use. This section describes KPS emergency classifications, initiating events, emergency action levels, and postulated emergency situations.

EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMThe emergency classification system covers an entire spectrum of possible radiological andnon-radiological emergencies at the Kewaunee Power Station.

The emergency classification system categorizes accidents and/or emergency situations into one of two emergency classification levels depending on emergency conditions at the time of the incident.

Theemergency classification levels applicable at Kewaunee Power Station, in order of increasing

severity, are Unusual Event and Alert. Each of these emergency classes requires notification to the station's ERO, State and county agencies, as well as the NRC.The emergency classification system is based on NEI 99-01, Revision 6, "Development ofEmergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reactors".

Once indications are available to plant operators that an Emergency Action Level (EAL) hasbeen met, the event is assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is promptly declared as soon as possible, and within 30 minutes.Notification to the State and county offsite authorities and the NRC is required within 60minutes of the event being declared.

Incidents may be classified in a lower emergency classification level at first and then escalated to the higher level if the situation deteriorates.

13 The following subsections outline the plant actions at each classification level. Refer toPermanently Defueled Emergency Action Level Technical Bases for actual parameter values,annunciators, and equipment status used by emergency response personnel to classifyemergencies.

Actions associated with an Unusual Event:" Bring the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) to a state of readiness.

" Notify Federal, State, and county government authorities.

" Initiate the systematic handling of information and decision making." Augment shift personnel, if needed.The Unusual Event status will be maintained until an escalation in emergency class occurs orthe event is terminated.

Offsite authorities will be informed of the change in the emergency status and the necessary documentation will be completed as specified in the Emergency PlanImplementing Procedures.

Actions associated with an Alert:" Activate the Emergency Response Organization (ERO)." Notify Federal, State, and county government authorities.

" Initiate the systematic handling of information and decision making.* Initiate immediate and follow-up notification(s) including current plant status information tooffsite authorities.

The Alert status shall be maintained until termination of the event or de-escalation inemergency class occurs. The plant may enter recovery operation without de-escalating from adeclared Alert. Offsite authorities will be informed of the change in the emergency status andthe necessary documentation shall be completed as specified in the Emergency PlanImplementing Procedures.

SPECTRUM OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The Updated Safety Analysis Report Chapter 14 describes the postulated accidents applicable to Kewaunee Power Station.

Methods for detecting and evaluating for emergency classification of these events include the use of installed

systems, instrumentation, alarms, andapproved procedures.

9.0 NOTIFICATION METHODS AND PROCEDURES Procedures have been established for notification, by the licensee, of State and localorganizations and for notification of emergency personnel by all organizations; the content ofinitial and follow-up messages to response organizations has been established.

ERO Activation The ERO is activated by a plant announcement and by the ERO callout system directed by theEmergency Director.

14 Nuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS)NARS is a communication process used to notify the State and county agencies of a declaredemergency.

The NARS form contains information that identifies the station, emergency classification, Emergency Action Level (EAL), and radiological release status. Notification tothe State and county agencies will be made within 60 minutes of event classification, and theprocess includes a means of message verification.

Notification using NARS is theresponsibility of the Emergency Director.

Based upon changing plant conditions or as requested, follow-up messages will becommunicated to the offsite agencies.

The follow-up message will contain the following information as available:

  • Identification of station." Identification of caller.* Date / time of incident.

" Emergency Classification.

" Radioactive release status.* Emergency response action.* Request for any needed support by offsite agencies.

  • Prognosis for worsening or termination of event based upon plant information.

NRC Event Notification System (ENS)The ENS is a dedicated telephone system used to notify the NRC Operations Center. TheNRC will be notified as soon as possible after State/county notifications and within 60 minutesof event classification.

In the event of failure of the ENS, commercial phone lines will be usedto notify the NRC. Notification to the NRC is the responsibility of the Emergency Director.

Support Organizations

Medical, local law enforcement agency (LLEA), and fire fighting support services are primarily notified for assistance via the public 911 process.

Request for support services are theresponsibility of the Emergency Director.

15 10.0 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS Provisions exist for prompt communications among principal response organizations toemergency personnel.

The communication systems listed in Table 10-1 below provide24-hour onsite and offsite communications capability.

Communication systems are tested toverify proper operation at the testing frequency specified in the table below. Communication systems that are listed with a testing frequency of "Frequent Use" indicates that the associated equipment is normally used at a sufficiently high regularity (e.g., multiple times each day), suchthat separate additional testing is not needed. Functionality is verified through normal(frequent) use of the system.TABLE 10-1Communication SystemsCommunication System Testing Frequency PBX telephone system Frequent UseCommercial telephone system MonthlyPlant public address system Frequent UsePortable radios MonthlyNuclear Accident Reporting System (NARS) Monthly*ERO callout system Semi-annual*

NRC FTS Network (NRC Emergency Notification System (ENS)) Monthly* Performance of drill requirements specified in Section 18 satisfies the testing frequency 11.0 PUBLIC INFORMATION Communications Department personnel will be notified of a declared emergency via the EROcallout system. Communications Department will monitor media activity and coordinate withsenior management disseminating public information per communication protocols.

Asnecessary, news conference(s) can be conducted on site or other coordinated location.

Communications Department personnel, or senior plant or corporate management willrepresent the station as the plant spokesperson.

12.0 EMERGENCY FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT Adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response areprovided and maintained.

This section of the plan identifies and describes the emergency response facilities, the communication

systems, the assessment facilities and equipment, thefirst aid and medical facilities, and protective equipment and supplies that can be utilizedduring an emergency.

16 12.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES Emergency Response Facilities (ERFs) are staffed in accordance with Section 6.0.Control RoomThe Control Room is where plant systems and equipment parameters are monitored.

TheControl Room is the onsite center for emergency Command and Control.

Control Roompersonnel assess plant conditions; evaluate the magnitude and potential consequences ofabnormal conditions; initiate preventative, mitigating and corrective actions; and performnotifications.

When activated, the ERO reports to the Control Room.Site Relocation FacilityThe Site Relocation Facility (SRF) is located in the Carlton Township Hall, 1.6 miles North ofKPS on Highway 42 and approximately 2 miles West on County Road G. The SRF functions as a staging area for augmentation of emergency response staff if the site is under threat of orexperiencing Hostile Action. The SRF has telephone communication capability.

12.2 EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT This section describes the monitoring instruments and laboratory facilities used to initiateemergency measures and provide continuing assessment of conditions throughout the courseof an emergency.

Specific emergency response equipment and reference materials located in the Control Room,Site Relocation

Facility, and within the plant are listed in Appendix A, Emergency Equipment, Supplies and Reference Materials.

The items listed in Appendix A are inspected, inventoried, and operationally checked each calendar quarter and after each use. There are sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment to replace those which are removed for calibration orrepair. Equipment in these inventories is checked and calibrated in accordance with approvedprocedures.

Meteorological Equipment The meteorological equipment at the site consists of wind speed and direction transmitters, signal translators, and recorders.

In addition, the temperature measurement consists ofrecorders and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). RTDs on the primary tower are usedto monitor ambient temperature and calculate differential temperature.

Recorded ambienttemperature comes from the ten (10) meter RTD. A RTD on the backup tower is available formonitoring ambient temperature.

Radiation Monitoring SystemThe Radiation Monitoring System provides continuous radiological surveillance.

The systemperforms the following basic functions:

  • Warns personnel of potential radiological health hazards.* Gives early warning of certain plant malfunctions which might lead to a radiological healthhazard or plant damage.* Prevents or minimizes the effects of inadvertent releases of radioactivity to theenvironment by consequence-limiting automatic responses.

" Provides routine monitoring of controlled offsite plant releases.

17 The Radiation Monitoring System is divided into two sub-systems.

The Process Radiation Monitoring System monitors various liquid and air streams for indication of radiation levelswithin those streams.

The Area Radiation Monitoring System monitors radiation levels invarious areas of the plant.Portable Radiation and Contamination Monitoring Instruments Portable radiation and contamination monitoring instruments and sampling equipment normallyutilized and maintained by the Radiation Protection group are available for emergency use.Laboratory Facilities Facilities for analyzing radioactive samples are equipped with instruments that can detectalpha and beta radioactivity and the ability to perform radionuclide analysis.

Fire Detection and Suppression Equipment The fire protection system has been designed to detect and extinguish potential fires. Thesystem is designed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and recommendations of the Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL).Fire detectors have been installed throughout the plant with alarms and indicators located inthe Control Room.Communication SystemsCommunication systems are identified and tested as described in Section 10.Protective Equipment and SuppliesProtective clothing and respiratory equipment are maintained for use by emergency in-plantteams.13.0 ACCIDENT ASSESSMENT Adequate

methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition are in use.The assessment activities required to evaluate a particular emergency depend on the specificnature and classification of the emergency.

The EALs identify the system parameter andeffluent parameter values which can be used to determine the emergency condition.

Classification of events is performed by the Emergency Director in accordance with the EALscheme.Onsite capabilities and resources are available to provide initial and continuing information foraccident assessment throughout the course of an event.Dose Assessment Implementing procedures utilize radiological instrumentation readings and meteorological datato provide a rapid method of determining the magnitude of a radioactive release during anaccident condition.

Dose Assessment is capable of being performed on a 24-hour per daybasis. Initial dose assessment is the responsibility of the Emergency Director.

Subsequent dose assessments are the responsibility of the Radiation Protection Director.

18 14.0 PROTECTIVE RESPONSEProtective actions for onsite personnel are provided for their health and safety. Implementation guidelines for onsite protective actions are provided in Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures.

Additionally, the Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide for a range of protective actions (e.g. relocation of personnel and personnel take cover) to protect onsite personnel during hostile actions.Accountability Accountability should be considered and used as a protective action whenever a site wide riskto health or safety exists and prudence dictates.

If personnel accountability is required, at thedirection of the Emergency Director all individuals at the site (including employees withoutemergency assignments, visitors and contractor personnel) shall be notified of an emergency over the public address system and by the sounding of the plant alarm. Accountability of allpersonnel onsite should be accomplished within 60 minutes after event declaration andmaintained thereafter.

If personnel are unaccounted for, teams shall be dispatched to locatethe personnel.

Non-ERO personnel, supplemental personnel, and visitors located outside of the Protected Area (PA) but within the Site Boundary will be directed to report to an assembly area or exit thesite as appropriate.

The Emergency Director is responsible for controlling access to the stationwhen the ERO is activated.

15.0 RADIOLOGICAL EXPOSUREMeans for controlling radiological exposures, in an emergency, are established for emergency workers.

The means for controlling radiological exposures shall include exposure guidelines consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides.Radiological Control Areas (RCAs) / Access ControlAs necessary, the Radiation Protection Director (RPD) will ensure Radiological Control Areas(RCAs) are established in response to the event. The RPD shall direct control of access to allRCAs unless immediate access is authorized by the Emergency Director to facilitate emergency repairs.Exposure Control and RecordsIndividuals authorized to enter RCAs are required to have in their possession dosimetry capable of measuring a dose received from external sources of ionizing radiation.

Emergency workers are issued permanent reading dosimeters (e.g. thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)) as a means for recording exposure for permanent records prior to entering aradiologically controlled area. Additionally, personnel are issued electronic alarming dosimetry capable of measuring dose and dose rate on a real time basis. Emergency workers areinstructed to read their dosimeters frequently.

The dosimetry provides 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per daycapability to determine the dose received by each emergency worker.19 Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures.

All reasonable measures shall be taken to control the radiation exposure to emergency response personnel providing rescue, first aid, decontamination, emergency transportation, medical treatment

services, corrective actions or assessment actions within applicable limitsspecified in 10 CFR 20. The Emergency Director is responsible for authorizing plant andemergency response personnel to receive doses in excess of 10 CFR 20 limits, if necessary.

Thisauthorization is coordinated with the Radiation Protection Director.

Table 15-1 contains theguidelines for emergency exposure

criteria, which is consistent with the EPA's, "Protective ActionGuide and Planning Guidance for Radiological Incidents,"

Table 2-2, "Response WorkerGuidelines."

Personnel Contamination ControlAll personnel are monitored for radioactive contamination prior to leaving the site. Portableradiation survey meters are available to frisk personnel for potential contamination.

Documentation of surveys, contamination, and decontamination activities shall be maintained in accordance with Radiation Protection procedures.

20 16.0 MEDICAL AND HEALTH SUPPORTArrangements are made for medical services for contaminated injured individuals.

TheKewaunee Power Station maintains on-shift personnel and equipment to provide first aid forpersonnel working at the site. Medical supplies for emergency first aid treatment are providedon the site at various plant locations.

Stretchers are available for transporting non-mobile, injured personnel.

If immediate professional medical help is required, local ambulance services are available toassist in the transport of seriously injured or radioactively contaminated injured personnel.

Arrangements have been made with the Aurora Medical Center for the medical treatment ofplant personnel.

Hospital personnel have been instructed and trained in the treatment andcare of patients with contamination and radiation overexposure.

When personnel are transported to the Aurora Medical Center while in a contaminated condition, personnel trained in radiological monitoring will be dispatched to monitor andmaintain radiological controls.

17.0 RECOVERY AND REENTRY PLANNING AND POST ACCIDENTPLANT RECOVERY ORGANIZATION The plant recovery organization will be based on the normal Kewaunee Power Station (KPS)organization and would function with the KPS executive management position beingresponsible for directing all site activities.

PLANT RECOVERY OPERATIONS Kewaunee Power Station is responsible for plant recovery measures and restoring the plant toa stable condition.

Notification of onsite personnel and offsite response organizations that theplant recovery is to commence will be performed in accordance with Emergency PlanImplementing Procedures.

The extent and nature of the corrective and protective measures and the extent of plantrecovery will depend on the emergency conditions at hand and the status of plant areas andequipment.

The general goals for plant recovery are:0 An orderly evaluation of the cause and effect of the emergency and implementation ofsolutions to prevent immediate recurrence of the incident.

  • A planned approach for returning the plant to a stable condition by obtaining theappropriate
manpower, materials, and equipment.

0 A planned approach to coordinate with offsite authorities to identify and resolvesituations that may impact the general public.0 An evaluation of the radiation exposure records for all onsite emergency responsepersonnel involved in the incident.

0 A planned approach to ensure that radiation exposures and contamination controls areconsistent with the ALARA program.* To ensure that all nuclear safety related procedures associated with the recoveryoperation are submitted to the Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC) for review andapproval prior to their implementation.

21 During a declared emergency, a point will be reached where the plant will be placed in a stablecondition.

With the understanding that this condition could be attained even though specificEmergency Action Levels are still exceeded, the Emergency Director will determine that thereis no longer a need to keep the emergency organization in effect and to begin plant recovery.

Although de-escalation to a lower emergency level may be performed, it is not necessary tode-escalate prior to initiating plant recovery.

Plant recovery activities shall be in accordance with the plant Technical Specifications andother license documents.

During plant recovery, the radiation exposure limits of 10 CFR 20shall apply.If, during plant recovery, an emergency situation again occurs, the KPS emergency responseorganization would be activated in accordance with this plan and the implementing procedures.

Plant recovery efforts will be suspended until the emergency condition is resolved.

TheEmergency Director will re-evaluate plant conditions prior to resuming plant recovery.

PLANT RECOVERY TERMINATION The plant recovery will be terminated by the KPS executive management position after theplant has been returned to a stable condition.

18.0 EXERCISE AND DRILLSPeriodic exercises are conducted to evaluate major portions of emergency responsecapabilities.

Periodic drills are conducted to develop and maintain key skills. Deficiencies as aresult of exercises or drills are identified and corrected.

Exercise and DrillKPS conducts a biennial Exercise to test the adequacy of timing and content of implementing procedures and methods; to test emergency equipment and communication networks; and toensure that emergency personnel are familiar with their duties.
