===2.0 SCOPE===
AND APPLICABILITY This plan is written for, and the provisions are applicable to, the Perry Plant Unit 1.2.1 Site Description The Perry Plant, Unit 1, is located on the southeastern shoreline of Lake Erie in Lake County, Ohio, approximately seven miles northeast of Painesville, Ohio. FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company is responsible for the operation of the plant.The Perry Plant, Unit 1 is a (3758 MWt) Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) of the General Electric Company design, supplying steam to a General Electric turbine generator.
The plant site covers approximately 1100 acres located on an ancient lake plain approximately 50 feet above the lake low water datum. Although relatively flat, the site has a very gentle slope toward the lake. A large portion of the site is forested, some 250 acres are devoted to the plant structural complex. A comprehensive description of site characteristics and plant location is contained in Chapter 2.0 of the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.The primary source of potable water in the area is Lake Erie. The nearest potable water intake is the Painesville Water Supply, approximately
 
===3.9 miles===
west-southwest of the site.2.2 Population Distribution The population in the area surrounding Perry Plant is distributed from the northeast around to the west southwest.
Preparedness Support Instruction, PSI-0013, provides a breakdown of the total permanent resident population within 10-mile EPZ of the plant, and contains the Evacuation Time Estimates (ETE) for areas around the Perry Plant and discusses population distributions in detail.2.3 Emergency Planning Zones Emergency planning zones (EPZs) are areas designated for which planning is recommended to assure that prompt and effective actions are taken to protect the public in the event of an accident.Two primary zones have been established for the purposes of emergency planning around the Perry Plant. The first is the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. This zone, commonly referred to as the "10-mile EPZ," encompasses an area roughly corresponding to the area within a 10-mile radius of the.Perry Plant. In defining the 10-mile EPZ for the Perry Plant, the following criteria were applied: 1. The designated area must approximate the recommended 10-mile radius area as specified in Federal regulations.
2-1 Rev. 37
: 2. The designated area must be readily identifiable and comprehensible to allow for effective public broadcasting of information and guidance during an emergency event requiring area evacuation.
: 3. The perimeter of the designated evaluation area should not have major irregularities to maintain a credible area boundary.The 10-mile EPZ around the Perry Plant encompasses land areas in Ashtabula, Geauga and Lake Counties, and a defined "safety" zone extending north into Lake Erie. A total of 17 municipal jurisdictions are situated wholly or partially within the 10-mile radius area. Of primary concern in the 10-mile EPZ is direct exposure to a passing radioactive plume and inhalation of radioactive particulate materials.
The protective actions for the 10-mile EPZ are discussed in Section 6.4.A review of the topographic conditions and jurisdictional boundaries in the area surrounding the Perry Plant has led to the definition of the EPZ as depicted in Figure 2-1, and described below.The eastern EPZ boundary follows the Geneva Township boundary south to Interstate 90, and west on 1-90 to Route 534. It follows Route 534 south to the Harpersfield Township boundary and continues west to the Geauga/Ashtabula County line. At this point it follows the county line south to Route 166, and west on Route 166 to the county line. The EPZ boundary continues west along the county line to the Concord Township western boundary.
From there it follows township line northward to the intersection with the Con Rail tracks, cross-country to Mentor Marsh, and then continues west through the marsh to Lake Erie. The EPZ extends into Lake Erie due north from the south shore at the 810 20' West longitude; then easterly along the 410 57' North latitude; and finally extends due south along the 800 56' W longitude to the shoreline.
The second EPZ extends to a 50-mile radius of the Perry Plant. This zone, also known as the Ingestion Pathway EPZ, is shown in Figure 2-2.Once exceeding the 10-mile radius, direct exposure to a passing plume is no longer of significant concern. At this point, the ingestion pathway of exposure is of greatest concern. The State of Ohio has assumed primary responsibility for planning, coordination and implementation of protective actions for the general public within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ. The primary emphasis in the Ingestion Pathway EPZ is on the prevention of uptake by people and animals. Protective Actions for the Ingestion Pathway EPZ are discussed in. Section 6.4.4 and in the State of Ohio Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan.2.4 Purpose and Objectives

===2.5 Summary===
of Emergency Plan Inter-Relationships This Emergency Plan should not, by itself, be considered the primary working document to be used during an. emergency.
The purpose of the Emergency Plan is to classify emergencies according to their nature and severity, assign responsibilities for actions, and clearly outline an effective course of action to safeguard the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency.
Inter-relationships of this plan with procedures, other plans, and emergency arrangements are summarized as follows: 2.5.1 Detailed actions to be taken by individuals in response to onsite emergency conditions at the time of an event are directed by the Emergency Plan Implementing Instructions (EPIs). These instructions provide the detailed mechanisms for response as outlined in this plan. EPIs do not cover program administration or normal activities already covered by other plant procedures.
As such, EPIs will only incorporate certain aspects of the plant's operating procedures, radiological control procedures, and security procedures, where clarification of the instructions is required.The listing of EPIs, contained in Appendix A, shall be considered implementing procedures in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.V.Any changes to these instructions shall be submitted to the NRC within 30 days of implementation.
2.5.2 The Security Plan and procedures have been coordinated with this plan to ensure that appropriate emergency actions can be taken. For example, the Security Plan and procedures contain provisions for emergency response personnel and vehicle access when required by the EPIs.2.5.3 The Plant Administrative Procedures (PAPs) and Nuclear Operation Procedures (NOP) define administrative controls such as radiological control limits and precautions, use of personnel monitoring devices, use of protective clothing and equipment, and personnel decontamination.
Chemistry instructions govern counting of samples in lab. In addition, Health Physics Instructions provide guidance for performing surveys, analyzing samples, operating/radiation protection equipment, etc. The relevant information and details provided in these documents have either been incorporated in the plan and/or implementing procedures, or have been'appropriately referenced.
2.5.4 The Emergency Public Information Organization Instructions Manual (EPIOIM) and this plan are coordinated to ensure that a mechanism is in place to provide accurate and timely information to the public via the news media. The EPIOIM provides a means for exchanging information between each participating agency's spokesperson and for rumor control during emergencies.

==SUMMARY==
OF THE EMERGENCY PLAN The Emergency Plan and EPIs have been established for coping with the various types of possible emergencies in an orderly, effective manner.The Emergency Plan will be put into effect whenever a potentially hazardous situation or radiological emergency is identified.
The information contained within the Emergency Plan is sufficient to demonstrate that appropriate actions will be taken to protect plant personnel and the general public during an emergency.
The Emergency Plan establishes the concepts, evaluation, assessment criteria, and protective actions, necessary to mitigate the consequences of potential or actual emergencies.
The plan provides the necessary prearrangements, organization, and communications so that all plant emergencies may be handled effectively and efficiently resolved in order to safeguard plant personnel, property and the general public.3.1 Emergency Plan Steps In general, the Emergency Plan encompasses the following basic steps: 1. Detection of the emergency 2. Assessment of the situation 3. Classification of the emergency 4. Activation of the responding organization(s) as necessary 5. Notification of offsite response organizations
: 6. Initiation of protective action recommendations
: 7. Initiation of corrective actions 8. Aid to affected persons 9. Reentry and recovery 3.2 Emergency Organizations This Emergency Plan establishes an organization capable of responding to the complete spectrum of incidents delineated in this Emergency Plan.Provisions are made for rapid notification of appropriate portions of the response organization and for expanding the response organization if the situation dictates.3-1 Rev. 37 An individual having the authority and the responsibility to initiate any emergency actions within the provisions of this plan, including providing protective action recommendations to offsite authorities is onsite at all times. This individual is the Shift Manager, who initially assumes the position of Emergency Coordinator and remains in that position until relieved by the Operations Manager in the Technical Support Center (TSC).The Shift Engineer assists the Shift Manager in reviewing dose projections and protective action recommendations developed by a Shift Chemistry Technician.
Emergency actions are the responsibility of the operating shift staff, who are supplemented by additional pre-assigned plant staff personnel which are rapidly alerted and mobilized to augment or relieve the operating shift personnel in accordance with the implementing instructions of this plan.In addition, this plan includes offsite agencies and organizations.
Their designated response functions include implementation of offsite protective actions, transportation and treatment of personnel requiring medical treatment, control of access to the plant, fire fighting support, radiological sampling and assessment, technical consultation, and testing. The major offsite agencies and organizations include the following:
 
====3.2.1 State====
of Ohio The Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA), Department of Public Safety, is the lead planning agency for developing state nuclear incident plans for licensed nuclear facilities contiguous to and within the State. The specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to departments and agencies of the State of Ohio are specified in the State of Ohio's Plan for Response to Radiation Emergencies at Licensed Nuclear Facilities.
Coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency for ingestion pathway control measures is also provided by the State of Ohio.3.2.2 Local Governments The actions of the local governments are delineated in the Local County Radiological Emergency Response Plans. The Emergency Management Agencies (EMA) for Ashtabula and Lake Counties, and Department of Emergency Service (DES) for Geauga County, are the lead planners and response agencies for each of the local counties.3.2.3 Federal Agencies 1.

===3.3 Emergency===
 
Classifications Emergencies are grouped into four (4) classifications listed below in order of increasing severity: 1. Unusual Event Events are in process 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.2. Alert Events are in process 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.3. Site Area Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.4. General Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.
Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.Section 4.0 contains a more detailed discussion of the classifications of emergencies.
Table 3-1 shows, in columnar form, the emergency classifications and the degree of involvement of onsite and offsite organizations.

===4.1 Emergency===
 
Classification System <S00559>The Perry Plant Emergency Plan provides for four (4) emergency classifications.
A broad spectrum of postulated emergency situations is covered in mutually exclusive groupings.
Each emergency classification invokes certain immediate actions which are explained in Section 6.0.The various classifications are arranged in a hierarchy of severity based on potential or actual hazards. Accidents may be classified in a lower category at first and then escalated to a higher classification should the situation deteriorate.
Provisions are also made for de-escalation to a lower classification in certain situations as improved conditions may justify.All emergency measures begin with the notification of the Shift Manager that a real or potential hazard exists. This is followed by assessment and evaluation by the Shift Manager, classification of the emergency, and activation of the appropriate emergency organizations.
The specific Emergency Action Levels (EALs) described in this section are not intended to be all inclusive.
The Shift Manager, while acting as Emergency Coordinator, shall declare an appropriate emergency classification whenever, in his judgment, the plant status warrants such a declaration.
Each of the four (4) emergency classifications is characterized by EALs -see Figure 4-1. These levels consist of specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) that shall be used for emergency classification.
Specific readings and/or other indications which could possibly identify an emergency initiating condition are provided in Table 4-1. The format and wording of Table 4-1 are taken directly from EPI-Al.The values shown in are those at which an event must be classified in accordance with the guidance set forth in NUMARC/NESP-007, Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels (Revision 2). Reaching these values, with valid indications in short periods of time, is sufficient to declare the appropriate classification.
Some described are not, by their very nature, intended to be used during maintenance and/or testing situations.
A 15-minute goal has been established for assessing and classifying an emergency once indications are available to Control Room operators that an EAL has been exceeded.Applicable Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), Off-Normal Instructions (ONIs), and Alarm Response Instructions (ARIs) are cross referenced at various steps to alert the operator that a specific emergency action level may be or has been reached. EALs are referenced in those instructions to ensure that the emergency is properly classified for the particular plant condition.
4-1 Rev. 37 A conservative philosophy for classification is used. For example, a Site Area Emergency is declared directly if a Site Area EAL is exceeded, without other related events being previously identified and declared as an Unusual Event or an Alert.EALs are used specifically to provide an early readiness status of emergency response personnel and organizations.
The EALs have not been selected to infer any immediate need for protective actions, but rather to provide adequate time for assessment measures.
Offsite dose projections, plant status assessments, and protective action recommendations are reported to the local County officials as inputs to their decision on whether or not protective actions for the public are to be implemented.
 
====4.1.1 Unusual====
Event An Unusual Event is the least severe of the four (4) emergency classifications defined in this plan. An Unusual Event is defined as follows: Events are in process 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.The purposes for declaring an Unusual Event classification are to: 1. Ensure that the first step in any response is carried out.2. Provide current information on Unusual Events to offsite authorities.
: 3. Bring the operating staff to a state of readiness.
: 4. Provide for the systematic handling of information and decision making.An incident is classified as an Unusual Event if it is minor and no release of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring is expected with no further degradation of safety systems. Events in this classification are selected based upon a potential to degenerate to a more severe situation rather than on the likelihood that an actual public hazard exists. Local county and State of Ohio authorities are promptly notified of any Unusual Event.4.1.2 Alert An Alert is defined as follows: Events are in process 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.4-2 Rev. 37 As in the case of the Unusual Event, the Alert classification includes emergency situations that are expected to be minor but where it has been deemed prudent to alert the offsite emergency participants and mobilize portions of the emergency organization.
Any radioactive releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.The purposes of declaring an Alert classification are to: 1. Ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious;2. Perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required; and 3. Provide offsite authorities with current information.
In addition, because of the nature of the Alert classification, i.e., possible releases of radioactive material, broader assessment actions shall be initiated as described in Section 6.2.2.4.1.3 Site Area Emergency The Site Area Emergency classification is defined as follows: Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.The purposes for declaring a Site Area Emergency are to: 1. Ensure that response centers are manned;2. Ensure that the radiation monitoring teams (RMTs) are dispatched both onsite and offsite;3. Ensure that personnel required for evacuation of offsite areas are available should the situation become more serious; and 4. Provide current information for, and consultation with, offsite authorities.
Although immediate protective actions are not automatically required, declaration of a Site Area Emergency sets into motion all personnel onsite and offsite that would be required to perform actions up to and including the evacuation of offsite areas. RMTs are required to make continuing assessments to provide officials with information to decide on protective actions. The Site Area Emergency classification includes accidents which have significant radioactive material release potential.
Details of the emergency measures that will be implemented upon declaration of a Site Area Emergency are described in Section 6.0.4-3 Rev. 37 No radioactive releases are expected to exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except within the site boundary.Accidents included in this classification have the potential for degradation to the General Emergency classification.
Although the EALs for this classification have been selected at values well below the EPA PAGs, offsite monitoring team reports and continuing assessment actions will provide information for the final decision on protective actions to be taken.4.1.4 General Emergency This is the most severe classification of emergency defined by this Emergency Plan. The General Emergency classification is defined as follows: Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.The purposes for declaring a General Emergency are to: 1. Initiate predetermined protective action recommendations for the public;2. Provide continuous assessment of information from PNPP and offsite radiological monitoring groups;3. Initiate additional measures within the entire EPZ as indicated by actual or potential releases of radioactive material; and 4. Provide current information for, and consultation with, offsite authorities and the public.The EALs identified for a General Emergency indicate that time should be available to provide confirmative assessments (as detailed in the EPIs) prior to implementation of extensive protective actions for the entire EPZ. A wide range of protective actions are outlined in the EPIs including sheltering, evacuation, administering potassium iodide (KI) in accordance with the State Plan, and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness.
In addition, the EPIs provide for a default protective action recommendation (PAR) that can be issued immediately upon declaration of a General Emergency if detailed assessments are not available.
The Emergency Coordinator will recommend, as a precautionary measure the following:
evacuation for the general public within 2 miles of the plant, and in at least three downwind sectors out to 5 miles, as appropriate for Subareas 1 through 3 and Lake Erie, as identified on Figure 2-1, the administering of KI to the general public, and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness.
This protective action is consistent with the guidance outlined in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-I.
4-4 Rev. 37 Assessment actions, as described in Section 6.2 of the Emergency Plan and in the EPIs will continue to determine what additional protective actions should be recommended for the remainder of the EPZ. As described in Section 6.4, possible protective action recommendations may range from no action necessary, to the evacuation of the entire 10-mile EPZ.4.2 State and County Classification System The emergency classification scheme, as described in the preceding Section 4.1 and as set forth in NUMARC/NESP-007, have been discussed with and agreed on by the State of Ohio and local counties.
To provide guidance for public protection, the PAGs of the "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" (EPA-400-R-92-001) have also been adopted by the State of Ohio and the local Counties.Recommendations from the Perry Plant to the State of Ohio and the local Counties will be based on these same PAGs as discussed in Section 6.0 of this plan.Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)/Suggested Operating Guidelines (SOGs) for the State of Ohio and county organizations will be utilized to determine protective actions based on the Perry Plant recommendations.
Per The Ohio Plan for Response to Radiation Emergencies at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants, a Site Area Emergency has been established as the minimum classification level to initiate waterway notification in coordination with affected counties.(INTENTIONALLY BLANK)4-5 Rev. 37 FIGURE 4-1 INITIATING CONDITION INDEX PNPP No. 8851 Rev. 3/27/10 EPLAN EVENT CATEGORY UNUSUAL EVENT ALERT SITE AREA EMERGENCY GENERAL EMERGENCY Fuel clad degradation Any loss or challenge to the Fuel Clad Loss of RPV water level that has or will Loss of two barriers, AND a loss or challenge to the barrier uncover fuel. third barrier.A: FISSION PRODUCT AU1 (FPB Matrix) -AA1 AS (FPB Matrix) -AG1 B3ARRIERofbtth DEGRADATION Reactor Coolant System leakage.

===5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL===
 
CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES Emergency planning includes recognition of the capabilities of the shift staff, prompt augmentation by off-duty Perry Plant emergency response personnel, the support available from other Company personnel, and support available from local, State and Federal agencies to comprise an effective Emergency Response Organization (ERO). The initial response to an emergency will be handled by the normal shift staff which is capable of: 1. Determining that an emergency exists;2. Performing initial classification and assessment;
: 3. Promptly notifying other agencies and individuals;
: 4. Initiating actions to protect the general public.Augmentation of the shift staff will be provided by the ERO. The response organization provides additional personnel to mitigate the consequences of an emergency.
Beyond this, additional personnel may be called upon to provide specific assistance for specialized tasks. These needs will be determined by the ERO on a case by case basis.This section of the Emergency Plan addresses the emergency response assignments, authorities, and responsibilities of the normal plant organization and the emergency organization.
 
===5.1 FirstEnergy===
 
Organization Site Operations Department (SOD), Performance Improvement Department (PID), Site Engineering Department (SED), and Maintenance Department activities at the Perry Plant are under the control of the Vice President, Nuclear -Perry. Emergency Response Section (ERS, is under the control of the Director, PID.The Perry Plant Organization as well as the FirstEnergy Corporate Organization are discussed in Chapter 13.1 of the Perry Plant Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR).5.2 Emergency Organization
 
====5.2.1 Shift====
Staffing The plant is continuously manned with a minimum shift complement which facilitates normal plant operation as well as providing the initial response to an emergency condition as required under Table 5-1. This minimum shift crew composition for single unit operation is outlined in <NOP-OP-1002, Conduct of Operations>:
The Shift Manager is responsible for operating the plant in compliance with licensing requirements, administrative controls and operating instructions.
This includes, when warranted, approving on-shift operations that deviate from established procedures and instructions, evaluating operating experiences, and providing on-shift technical advice to the Unit Supervisors.
5-1 Rev. 37 During the initial response to an emergency, the Shift Manager assumes the position of Emergency Coordinator until properly relieved of emergency response functions by the designated Emergency Coordinator in the EOF or the TSC Operations Manager. Any individual fulfilling the position of Emergency Coordinator has the responsibility and the authority to direct any and all phases of emergency response.
The Emergency Coordinator shall not delegate the following responsibilities:
: 1. The decision to notify offsite authorities.
: 2. The decision to make protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.
: 3. The decision on determination of emergency classification including reclassification or termination.
The Unit Supervisor is responsible for assisting the Shift Manager on duty in operating the plant in a safe and dependable manner.This includes supervising the Reactor Operators, plant operators and attendants required to operate the unit, instructing the shift operating crew concerning temporary and permanent changes to the Perry Plant Operations Manual and assisting the Shift Manager in his administrative duties. The Unit Supervisor reports to the Shift Manager.The Shift Engineer (SE) will be on-shift reporting to the Shift Manager and available to provide technical support to the Shift Manager, including advising him on the safety status of the plant, diagnosing plant accidents and recommending actions to mitigate the consequences of accidents.
The SE will provide on shift reactor and system engineering support, if qualified.
The Reactor Operators are responsible for directing the activities of the non-licensed shift employees including plant operators, attendants, assistants, and others as may be assigned for special tasks to insure proper operation and monitoring of plant systems and equipment.
The Reactor Operators report to the Unit Supervisor.
The on-shift Security Shift Supervisor is directly responsible for the coordination of the specific functions of the plant security force as outlined in the Security Plan and EPI.5.2.2 Emergency Response Organization (ERO)In the event of an emergency, the ERO will be notified.
The assignment of responsibility in the ERO is ultimately the responsibility of the Vice President, Nuclear -Perry. However, to provide automatic, clearly defined manning of the Perry Plant Emergency Response Facilities, an ERO is pre-defined.
This includes the assignment of alternates for the major positions.
The majority of the ERO will be housed in five locations:
Control Room (CR), Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), and Joint Information Center (JIC).5-2 Rev. 37 The Control Room will continue to control the operation of the plant. During an emergency additional staff will be assigned to the Control Room to aid in mitigation of the effects of the emergency.
The TSC will provide management of onsite emergency activities.
The TSC will also be the primary communications link between the Control Room and the balance of the ERO. During emergencies when the EOF is not operational, the TSC will perform the functions of the EOF.The OSC will serve as the assembly point for Radiation Protection, Maintenance, I&C, and Operations personnel during an emergency.
The OSC will utilize the available personnel present or will call in the personnel necessary to support first aid, fire fighting, radiation monitoring, and emergency assessment and repair activities.
The EOF will provide overall management of all Company emergency activities.
The EOF will be the central point for receipt and analysis of field monitoring data and will be the primary communications contact for all offsite organizations such as the State and the local Counties.
The EOF will also provide information to the Public Information Response Team (PIRT) and the JIC for dissemination to the news media.The JIC will be the central location for dissemination of information to the general public regarding an emergency at the Perry Plant during Site Area or General Emergencies.
The JIC will provide a focal point for federal, state, local and FirstEnergy officials to coordinate emergency information received from the EOF and promptly inform the public utilizing local and national media outlets located at the JIC. Prior to the activation of the JIC, the PIRT, functioning from the TEC first floor or the EOF, will provide an interim location for the dissemination of information to the media.The functional interfaces between and among the ERO, local services support, and State and local governments are specified in the following sections.Table 5-1 depicts the functional areas of emergency response activities, the normal position title (or expertise), and the major emergency tasks to be performed including the goals for augmentation of the shift staff by the response organization as outlined by Table B-1 from NUREG-0654.
5-3 Rev. 37 Each ERO staff position described in Sections 5.2.2.2 through 5.2.2.4 will have at least three (3) individuals qualified at any one time to fill the position.1.

The SE will also review initial offsite dose assessment activities and protective action recommendations generated by an on-shift Chemistry Technician.
Prior to the TSC becoming operational, the SE will provide technical information to the on-call Media Relations Representative or Information Liaison as time and plant conditions allow.5-4 Rev. 37 The on-shift Chemistry Technician will perform initial offsite dose assessment activities and development of protective action recommendations, until'such time as the Radiation Protection Coordinator at the TSC assumes this responsibility.
The on-shift Instrument and Control (I&C) Technician will report to the Control Room, when requested, to act as communicator for the Shift Manager. A second communicator-qualified I&C Technician may be used; or another communicator trained individual designated by the Shift Manager.2. Operations Support Center (OSC)During an emergency, the OSC serves as an assembly area for Radiation Protection Section, Radwaste, Chemistry and Environmental Section, Perry Maintenance Department, and Perry Operations Section personnel.
The OSC Coordinator directs the assembly and dispatching of repair and assessment teams, as well as Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel from the OSC to support emergency operations.
If required, the Shift Manager can assign an interim OSC Coordinator from the personnel present in the facility until the designated OSC Coordinator arrives to aid in the timely activation of this facility.The following plant supervisory positions have also been identified as part of OSC staffing to assist the OSC Coordinator in directing facility operations: " Mechanical Supervisor,* Electrical Supervisor,* Instrument and Control Supervisor,* Radiation Protection Supervisor," Chemistry Supervisor.
Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs) are composed of two members each -an RMT Leader and Helper. The RMT Leader will be trained to perform plume monitoring and sample collection, and to oversee contamination control measures.
The RMT Helper will be primarily responsible for driving the RMT vehicle, team communications, and to assist in sample collection and recordkeeping.
The number of teams responding is dependent on the emergency classification.
For an Alert, two (2) RMTs will respond to perform monitoring; for a Site Area or General Emergency, three (3) teams will respond. Additional teams may be organized as the situation warrants.
Radio-equipped, four-wheel drive vehicles will be obtained from ERS for RMT use.RMTs are equipped to perform direct radiation measurements, airborne radioactivity sampling (capable of measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1.OE-7 uCi/cc) , and environmental sample collection.

Packaging and shipping of environmental samples to the offsite contractor laboratory for analysis.d. Interpretation of environmental sample analysis results.5. Joint Information Center (JIC)Once the JIC is operational, the JIC Manager manages and overall coordinates JIC activities.
The JIC Manager is responsible for the operation of the FirstEnergy Corporate Communications and Public Information effort; has final approval on all press statements; serves as liaison to FirstEnergy Corporate Management; and coordinates news statements with State, County and Federal public information officials.
Reporting to him/her are the Information Supervisor, the Media Relations Supervisor, and the Support Services Supervisor.
The Information Supervisor is responsible for the flow of information to and from the JIC, and coordinates the development and distribution of news statements.
The Technical Spokesperson, who is under the direction of the Information Supervisor, is the principal FirstEnergy technical resource at the JIC. The Technical Spokesperson works with the appropriate JIC staff to develop news statements; has responsibility for giving or securing technical approval of press statements or other public statements of a technical nature; is the principal FirstEnergy spokesperson on technical matters at media briefings; and makes himself available to the media for technical background information.
5-12 Rev. 37 The Media Relations Supervisor is responsible for supervising all activities in the media work areas; ensuring that all reporters are cognizant of scheduled and unscheduled briefing;acting as a resource for general information; scheduling interviews; assisting the media as required; and reporting to the JIC Manager any media inquiries, problems, trends, etc., for discussion/action.
The Support Services Supervisor is responsible for setting up the JIC at the direction of the JIC Manager; obtaining support services for the JIC staff; providing and supervising the administrative and clerical personnel and equipment operators; arranging delivery of necessary equipment and supplies and repair services to support JIC operation, and arranging for transportation, food, lodging, etc., for an extended period of time.6. Public Information Response Team (PIRT)Regardless of whether the Perry Plant Emergency Plan has been entered, the PIRT may be activated to handle increased media interest which may not warrant JIC activation.
The decision to activate the PIRT is based on the discretion of the Control Room Shift Manager and the on-call Media Relations Representative.
A detailed discussion of PIRT staffing and duties is contained in the EPIOIM.The PIRT will be activated for an Alert or for events with higher emergency classifications.
While located in the TEC, the PIRT will operate independently and will be de-activated once the JIC is operational.
For a security or other event where the site is inaccessible, the JIC will activate instead of the PIRT.5.2.3 Activation and Staffing The activation and staffing of the Perry Plant Emergency Response Facilities consists of three time periods: initial, interim and final. The initial phase consists of shift staff personnel and is the lowest stage of activation, whereas the final phase consists of the full activation and manning of the CR, TSC, OSC, EOF, and the JIC. The interim phase is applicable only when the TSC is fully activated before the EOF is activated, or if activation of the EOF is not deemed necessary.
The initial phase will be implemented upon the declaration of an Unusual Event or higher level emergency.
During this phase, various shift personnel support the emergency condition, with the Control Room as the command center and the Shift Manager as the acting Emergency Coordinator.
5-13 Rev. 37 The interim phase will be implemented upon the declaration of an Alert or higher level emergency.
During this phase, shift and various designated personnel support the emergency condition with the TSC as the command center and the Operations Manager as the acting Emergency Coordinator.
Figure 5-1 illustrates the Perry Plant ERO during the interim phase.The final phase, illustrated in Figure 5-1, will be implemented upon the declaration of a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.
During this phase, the emergency condition will be supported by full activation of all the emergency response facilities, with the EOF as the command center under the direction of the Emergency Coordinator.
Staff arrival goals for designated on-call ERO positions as listed (as shown on Table 5-1) are 30 minutes for the TSC and OSC, and 60 minutes for the EOF. The goals are based on a normal response to the plant from an individual's home residence and does not take into account adverse weather conditions or factors which may delay one's arrival during a late evening response.Fifteen minutes from the time of event classification or reclassification is allocated to successfully complete notification to on-call ERO responders.
The TSC, OSC, and EOF are then expected to be fully functional within 15 minutes of the arrival of their respective staffs. This policy establishes overall goals of 60 minutes for the TSC and OSC, and 90 minutes for the EOF. The actual time required to staff and activate a facility may exceed its established goal depending on circumstances experienced at the time of the event which affect an individual's response.
Additional time may, therefore, need to be allotted to account for these circumstances.
Notification of the Perry Plant ERO is performed by the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) Operator, who is a member of the Security force continuously manning the SAS in the Control Room. A pre-designated on-call individual can be used as an alternate to notify the ERO if the SAS operator is engaged in a security response that precludes diverting attention to notify the ERO.Direction and control of the ERO will vary depending on the emergency classification and the degree of activation.
During an Unusual Event or initial phase, the Shift Manager will assume the position of Emergency Coordinator and will continue in that position until properly relieved by the Operations Manager or his designated alternate.
The Emergency Coordinator has the authority and the responsibility to direct any and all emergency response activities as necessary for any emergency condition.
The following specific responsibilities shall not be delegated by the Emergency Coordinator:
: 1. The decision to notify offsite authorities.
: 2. The decision to make protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.
5-14 Rev. 37
: 3. The decision on determination of emergency classification including reclassification or termination.
During an Alert or the interim phase, the TSC Operations Manager upon arrival, will be briefed by the Shift Manager and will relieve the Shift Manager as the acting Emergency Coordinator once the TSC is operational.
When a Site Area or General Emergency has been declared, EOF Emergency Coordinator upon arrival will be briefed by the TSC Operations Manager and assume the position of Emergency Coordinator once the EOF is operational.
In the final phase or full activation, the TSC Operations Manager will maintain control of onsite activities under the direction of the EOF Emergency Coordinator.
Plant operations under all phases are conducted by the normal shift staff. Once the TSC is operational during the interim or final phases, the TSC Operations Advisor will provide interface between the Control Room and the TSC under the direction of the TSC Operations Manager.An Accident Management Team (AMT) will be mobilized in the TSC under the TSC Operations Advisor to assist in evaluating severe accident mitigation strategies per the TSG. The ERO will provide the organizational structure and logistical support for the implementation of SAGs. Designated AMT personnel, who are not assigned specific ERO duties per Section 5.2.2, will be contacted as part of the TSC activation process. AMT personnel may be used prior to the implementation of SAGs to support designated TSC staff in the operational and technical assessment of an event classified in accordance with Section 4.0.A communicator in the Control Room provides continuing communications with offsite agencies.
When the TSC becomes operational or during the interim phase, at least one communicator in the TSC will relieve the Control Room Communicator of the responsibility for maintaining communications with offsite agencies.During the final phase or full activation, at least two communicators stationed at the EOF will relieve the TSC communicators of the responsibility for maintaining communications with offsite agencies.Offsite dose assessment during the initial phase is the responsibility of an on-shift Chemistry Technician with the Unit Supervisor directing operational radiological activities.
Protective action recommendations and their basis will be reviewed by the Shift Engineer (SE) and then referred to the Shift Manager for approval.
During the interim phase, the TSC Radiation Protection Coordinator will relieve the on-shift Chemistry Technician of offsite dose assessment responsibilities and the Unit Supervisor of radiological support responsibilities.
Upon activation of the EOF during the final phase, the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor will control offsite dose assessment with the EOF Operations Advisor assisting.
5-15 Rev. 37 Radiological assessment, if required during the initial phase, will consist of Radiation Protection (RP) personnel either on-shift or called in support of the Control Room, under the direction of the Unit Supervisor.
During the interim phase, two (2) RMTs will assemble and will be under the direction of the TSC Radiation Protection Coordinator.
During the final phase, an additional RMT will assemble bringing the total to three (3) RMTs under the direction of the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor.All in-plant radiological surveys and chemistry/radio-chemistry activities during all phases of an emergency will be conducted by shift Radiation Protection Technician and Chemistry Technician(s), augmented as necessary by additional personnel, under the direction of the TSC Radiation Protection Coordinator.
Technical support during the initial phase will be provided by the SE in the Control Room. During the interim or final phases, the SE will be relieved by the TSC Plant Technical Engineer.Engineering support is not specifically assigned during the initial phase, but will be designated for the following specialty areas during the interim and final phases, under the direction of the TSC Plant Technical Engineer.Core/Thermal Hydraulics
-Reactor Engineer Electrical
-Electrical Engineer Mechanical
-Mechanical Engineer Repair and corrective actions during the initial phase of an emergency will be assigned to designated shift personnel as follows: Mechanical/Electrical Maintenance
-Plant Operator (collateral duty), Instrumentation and Controls -I&C Technician During interim and final phases, repair and corrective actions will be managed by the OSC Coordinator, under the direction of the Shift Manager or TSC Maintenance Coordinator (once the TSC is operational), with the following designated personnel in specialty areas utilized at the OSC Coordinator's discretion:
Mechanical Maintenance
-Maintenance Supervisor (Mechanical)
Electrical Maintenance
-Maintenance Supervisor (Electrical)
Instrument and Controls -I&C Supervisor Radiation Protection Control -Radiation Protection (RP)Supervisor Chemistry Analysis -Chemistry Supervisor/Specialist Radwaste Operations during all emergency phases will be controlled by the shift Radwaste Supervising Operator stationed in the Radwaste Control Room, under the direction of the Shift Manager. During the interim and final phases, the TSC Operations Advisor will assist the Shift Manager in coordinating radwaste activities.
Rev. 37 Radiation Protection activities during the initial phase is the responsibility of the shift RP Supervisor or On-Shift Radiation Protection Technician.
Radiation Protection staffing will be augmented per Table 5-1 to support interim and final phase emergency response activities.
Fire-fighting response will be provided by shift personnel in accordance with PAP-1910 and the Pre-Fire Plan Instruction (FPIs).Security personnel, trained in The American National Red Cross, The American Heart Association or equivalent first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are available onsite on a 24-hour basis to provide immediate assistance at the scene of an accident per EPI-B4. In addition, a dispensary is located onsite for treatment of routine medical emergencies.
For injuries inside the RRA, an on-shift RP technician will respond to the accident scene to assist.Agreements have been entered with Perry Township Joint Fire District and Lake Hospital System for the support of onsite fire-fighting, and the transportation and treatment of injuries per Section 5.3.The Emergency Response Section (ERS) maintains current copies of the letters of agreement.
A complete list of the letters of agreement is contained in Appendix B.Security during all phases of an emergency is covered by the Security Plan, and personnel accountability is conducted in accordance with EPI-B5.The EOF Manager will assume responsibility for required resources (food/lodging, additional personnel, payment/disbursements) during the full activation of the Perry Plant Emergency Response Facilities.
During the initial and interim phases of an emergency, plant status and information are conveyed to the media and general public either by an on-call Media Relations Representative directly or through the activation of the PIRT. When informed that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regional Site Team is being dispatched to the plant the EOF and the JIC will be activated.
The PIRT will transfer duties to the JIC upon the notification that a NRC site Team is being dispatched to the plant. In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency (final phase), or if media interest warrants, the JIC will be activated.
All official information dissemination to the media will occur at the JIC.Once the JIC is operational, the Technical Spokesperson is the designated FirstEnergy spokesperson for the emergency situation.
Arrangements have been made with the three local counties, State of Ohio, FEMA, and NRC designated spokespersons (Public Information Officers) to utilize the JIC, maintain a timely exchange of information, and provide for rumor control.5-17 Rev. 37 Upon the declaration of an Alert or higher classification, the State of Ohio and local counties may dispatch representatives to the Perry Plant, and JIC if activated.
Upon notification of the pending arrival of the State representatives, the TSC Regulatory Affairs Coordinator will either contact a second individual or relocate to the EOF and act as an interface between government officials or representatives in the EOF and the Perry Plant ERO. Once the EOF is activated, the TSC Regulatory Affairs Coordinator will relocate to the EOF to assist in communications between the NRC, State of Ohio, and local counties.To ensure an effective interface with the State to Ohio, a FirstEnergy Liaison will be dispatched to the State EOC at a Site Area Emergency or when requested by the OEMA. Representatives from the ERS may also respond to the local county EOCs upon their activation or at the request of the EMA Director.
The TSC/EOF Regulatory Affairs Coordinator(s) will serve as the EOC's point of contact with the Perry Plant ERO. However, the primary communications link between the Perry Plant and State and local county EROs will remain the Emergency Response Network ("5-way")telephone circuit discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.5.3 Local Services Support The nature of an emergency may require utilizing assistance furnished by local personnel, organizations, or agencies.
Since it is necessary that support from the local law enforcement agencies, fire department, hospitals, and ambulance services be available on short notice, letters of agreement have been signed with those personnel, organizations, and agencies which may be expected to provide assistance and are contained in Appendix B.5.3.1 Fire Fighting The Perry Township Joint Fire District (PTJFD) provides fire fighting assistance to supplement onsite fire fighting efforts.5.3.2 Law Enforcement The Lake County Sheriff's Office is the lead offsite agency for law enforcement at the Perry Plant.

Further detail regarding these notifications is contained in each local County Radiological Emergency Response Plan.The local counties will also notify the general public as required by their respective response plans. The primary means of public notification is through the use of the Prompt Alert Siren System, discussed in Section 7.4. These sirens alert the public to turn to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) for further information.
It is expected that this method will notify essentially 100 percent of the population within 10 miles of the Perry Plant within 15 minutes after the decision is made to implement a protective action by the appropriate government officials.
Boaters on Lake Erie will be notified by either the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in accordance with the appropriate State and local county response plans.Information available to the general public, which describes actions to be taken in the event of an emergency at the Perry Plant, is discussed in Section 8.6.6.1.3 State of Ohio Upon receipt of notification of an emergency at the Perry Plant, the OEMA will notify the appropriate officials and agencies in the State of Ohio, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Province of Ontario, as well as other organizations as described in the State Emergency Plan. The State of Ohio will also notify the USCG of an emergency at the Perry Plant involving USCG territorial jurisdiction.
 
====6.1.4 Federal====
Agencies Upon receipt of notification of an emergency at the Perry Plant, the NRC will notify other federal agencies when and if deemed appropriate.
Federal agencies may also be contacted by their state counterparts should it become necessary.
6-4 Rev. 37 If it becomes necessary for the Perry Plant to request federal assistance, the Emergency Coordinator will make this request.6.2 Assessment Actions Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization requires continuing accident assessment throughout an emergency situation.
Each emergency class shall invoke similar assessment methods; however, each classification imposes a different magnitude of assessment effort. In the following sections, assessment actions to be taken for each emergency classification are outlined.During an emergency, conditions will be periodically evaluated to determine if the emergency should be reclassified.
 
====6.2.1 Assessment====
 
Actions for Unusual Events The detection of an Unusual Event arises from either exceeding a specific emergency action level for this case, or as a result of alarms, instrument readings, recognition through experience, or any combination thereof. The continuing assessment action to be performed for this classification of emergency shall be in accordance with the EPIs. This consists of monitoring Control Room and other plant instrumentation and status indication until the situation is resolved.
The Shift Engineer assists the Shift Manager by providing independent assessments and technical advice. If a fire is the reason for the declaration of an Unusual Event, the Shift Manager will direct the SAS to request offsite fire fighting support.6.2.2 Assessment Actions for Alerts Once an accident has been classified as an Alert, assessment actions shall be performed in accordance with the EPIs for an Alert. These actions include: 1. Increased surveillance of in-plant instrumentation.
: 2. If possible, the dispatching of shift personnel to the identified problem area for confirmation and visual assessment of the problem.3. The mobilization of two RMTs to monitor for possible releases.4. If a radiological accident is occurring, surveillance of the in-plant instrumentation necessary to obtain meteorological and radiological data required for calculation or estimating projected doses. This dose assessment activity continues until termination of the emergency in order that the updating of initial assessments may be provided to all concerned offsite agencies by the acting Emergency Coordinator.
EPIs are provided to allow a rapid, consistent projection of doses.6-5 Rev. 37
 
====6.2.3 Assessment====
 
Actions for Site Area Emergencies The assessment actions for the Site Area Emergency classification are similar to the actions for an Alert; however, due to the increased magnitude of the possible release of radioactive material, a significantly larger assessment activity shall occur.Specifically:
: 1. An increased amount of plant instrumentation shall be monitored.
In particular, indications of core status shall be monitored.
: 2. Radiological monitoring efforts shall be greatly increased.
An additional RMT shall be mobilized to obtain air samples and perform beta-gamma field measurements.
The collection of environmental media for assessment of material, transport and deposition shall be performed, as necessary, by qualified FirstEnergy personnel.
: 3. Dose assessment activities shall be conducted more frequently, with an increased emphasis on dose projection for use as a factor in determining the necessity for protective actions.Radiological and meteorological instrumentation readings shall be used to project the dose rate at predetermined distances from the plant, and to determine the integrated dose received.
In reporting the dose projections to offsite agencies, the dose rate, dose, and basis for the time used for the dose estimate should be provided.
Any confirmation of dose rates by RMTs shall be reflected in reporting and/or revising dose estimate information provided to offsite agencies.Dose projections shall be considered by plant personnel in relation to the EPA PAGs. Reporting of assessments to offsite authorities shall include the relationship of dose to these guidelines.
EPIs are provided for recording all pertinent information.
 
====6.2.4 Assessment====
 
Actions for General Emergencies Assessment actions for the General Emergency classification are to be the same as for the Site Area Emergency with some possible shift of emphasis to greater offsite monitoring efforts and dose projection efforts extending to distances much further from the plant. Additionally, since the projected doses are likely to be much closer to the EPA PAGs, greater emphasis is placed on the assessment of release duration.6.2.5 State and County Accident Assessment The OEMA may send field monitoring teams, equipped with all necessary field monitoring equipment, to the local area upon declaration of an Alert. Upon arrival, teams will report to a staging area designated by OEMA. Monitoring teams will then be deployed to designated field monitor locations.
Additionally, Lake County Health District deploys two field monitoring teams; these 6-6 Rev. 37 teams are utilized until the OEMA teams arrive and also supplement the State teams. The Lake County teams are equipped to perform plume monitoring, including air sampling.State FMT's will report readings to the State FMT coordinator who will relay the readings to Lake County EMA and State EOC. The State EOC will relay the readings to the EOF. The readings from the Lake County teams are reported to the Lake County EOC, which relays this data to the State EOC and EOF.Based on OEMA and Lake County monitoring as well as data from the Perry Plant, the State EOC will assess the hazard consequences of the radiological releases from the Perry Plant. This assessment will guide the decision making group at the Ohio EOC on the protective actions to be recommended to the local Counties.6.3 Onsite Personnel Accountability In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency, or in the judgment of the acting Emergency Coordinator based on emergency conditions, site personnel will be instructed to begin personnel accountability.
This notification will be performed essentially immediately using the Plant Public Address (PA) System and Exclusion Area Paging System as described in Section 7.2.1.2. To accomplish personnel accountability within 30 minutes, all personnel without an emergency response function will be directed to exit the site areas via normal exit routes and exit procedures.
For the Protected Area, a list will be provided by the Fire/Security Computer System of the personnel remaining within the area. This list will be compared to lists of personnel within emergency facilities to ascertain the names of missing individuals.
If personnel are missing, security will begin searching at the individuals last known location.Outside the Protected Area, personnel will be directed to exit the site by means of the Plant PA System and Exclusion Area Paging System.Security will then perform a sweep of controlled areas to locate any individuals who have not yet evacuated.
Personnel accountability will be performed concurrently with the evacuation of personnel from the Perry Plant site. Monitoring of plant personnel exiting the Protected Area will be accomplished at the Primary Access Control Point, and appropriate decontamination measures implemented as needed per Section 6.5.If a significant release of radioactive materials occurs onsite, personnel evacuating the Perry Plant site may be directed to monitoring and decontamination centers located outside the 10-mile EPZ. These centers are activated and staffed in accordance with their respective county response plans. Figure 6-2 illustrates the location of these centers in relation to the Perry Plant. Specific directions to the centers are contained in EPI-B5, posted in specific site locations, and provided as part of Plant Access Training (PAT).6-7 Rev. 37
 
===6.4 Offsite===
Protective Actions A wide range of protective actions for the public have been developed including evacuation, sheltering, administering of potassium iodide (KI)and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness.
Possible protective action recommendations made by the Perry Plant may range from no action necessary, to the evacuation of the entire 10-mile EPZ. The appropriate protective action recommendation (PAR) is determined using a decision flowchart per <EPI-B8>.
The flowchart provides protective actions based on plant status, EPA protective action guidelines (PAGs), and short duration, controlled releases as described below.6.4.1 Protective Action Based on Plant Status In addition to the PAGs established by the EPA, the following plant status PAGs have been established.
These PAGs are based on the potential for major radioactive material releases from the Perry Plant rather than the projected dose approach used by the EPA's PAGs per the guidance set forth in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP.
Implicit in these recommendations is that assessment activities will continue to determine what additional protective actions should be recommended for the entire EPZ.The minimum plant status PAGs, as applicable, for Subareas 1 through 3 and Lake Erie (as identified on Figure 2-1), are as follows: WIND DIRECTION
-"FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees)102 to 213 EVACUATE 1 & Lake*214 to 281 EVACUATE 1, 2 & Lake*282 to 11 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3 & Lake*12 to 101 EVACUATE 1, 3 & Lake** Lake evacuated to 10 miles.Administering KI to the general public and placing the remainder of the EPZ on heightened awareness will also be recommended.
These protective action recommendations assume that conditions listed in Table 4-1 for a General Emergency have been met or exceeded.6-8 Rev. 37 The following table summarizes these additional protective actions above the minimum plant status PAGs, which may be recommended based on a projected or actual dose of  1 rem TEDE or  5 rem CDEct from 5 to 10 miles: WIND DIRECTION
-"FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees)102 to 213 EVACUATE 1 & Lake*214 to 258 EVACUATE 1, 2, 4 & Lake*259 to 281 EVACUATE 1, 2, 4, 5 & Lake*282 to 303 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & Lake*304 to 326 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & Lake*327 to 348 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & Lake*349 to 11 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 & Lake*12 to 56 EVACUATE 1, 3, 6, 7 & Lake*57 to 101 EVACUATE 1, 3, 7 & Lake*Lake Evacuated to 10 miles.Administering KI to the general public and placing the remainder of the EPZ on heightened awareness will also be recommended.
Recommended protective actions may be extended or modified depending on population distribution, meteorological conditions, and condition of roads and major traffic ways, following discussions with County and State officials.
 
====6.4.2 Protective====
 
Actions based on a Short Duration, Controlled Release A protective action of sheltering will be recommended during a General Emergency for a short duration, controlled release of radioactive material from containment.
The following conditions will result in the recommendation to shelter a 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind, administer KI to the general public, place the general public on heightened awaredness of the remainder of the EPZ and evacuate Lake Erie to 10 miles: 1. A controlled release from containment will last less than one or equal to one hour, AND 2. Evacuation has not been initiated; AND 3. The time until the release begins is less than % the fastest evacuation time according to the latest Evacuation Time Estimated study; AND 4. Dose projections at the site boundary are greater than or equal to 1 Rem TEDE or greater than or equal to 5 Rem child thyroid.6-9 Rev. 37 The following table summarizes these protective actions in terms of subareas: WIND DIRECTION
-"FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees)102 to 213 SHELTER 1 & EVACUATE Lake*214 to 281 SHELTER 1, 2 & EVACUATE Lake*282 to 11 SHELTER 1, 2, 3 & EVACUATE Lake*12 to 101 SHELTER 1, 3 & EVACUATE Lake*Lake evacuated to 10 miles.6.4.3 Accident Assessment and Decision-Making The responsibility for actions to protect persons in offsite areas rests with the State of Ohio and the local government officials.
The chain of events which precede protective actions for the general public are described here and illustrated in Figure 6-3.Information is gathered by the EOF Operations Advisor and the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor to begin formulating PARs. The Plant uses the Integrated Computer System (ICS), described in Section 7.5.1 to obtain information concerning the status of plant systems and to estimate the duration of any release of radioactive material.
The EOF Operations Advisor can also contact the TSC to obtain further assistance and assessment information.
This estimate of release duration is then provided to the Offsite Radiation Advisor for use in dose projection calculations.
The Offsite Radiation Advisor will be simultaneously using the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS)software program, described in Section 7.5.10, to obtain information concerning the present meteorological conditions, release rates from the effluent monitors, and other applicable data source to perform offsite dose projections.
In addition, the Offsite Radiation Advisor will utilize the field information obtained by the RMTs to verify an estimated offsite dose or dose rate projections which may have been made.In the event that MIDAS is unavailable, the Offsite Radiation Advisor can obtain meteorological and release information directly from the ICS or locally at the on-site meteorological tower. The Offsite Radiation Advisor will also have a manual method for performing dose projections.
This manual method, described in Section 7.5.10.2, provides several levels of assumptions for available data and allows projections to be performed with minimal information if necessary.
Evacuation time estimates (ETE) for areas near the Perry Plant have been generated and are contained in PSI-0013, "Control and Revision of the Evacuation Time Estimates for Areas Near the Perry Plant." The ETE was developed in accordance with Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654 and provides evacuation estimates for various areas, times, and weather conditions.
These estimates represent the times required for completing the following actions: 1. public notification, 6-10 Rev. 37
: 2. preparation and mobilization, and 3. actual movement out of the 10-mile EPZ (i.e., on-road travel time including delays associated with vehicle queuing).Using the offsite dose projection, the evacuation time estimates, representative shielding factors, known or estimated isotopic compositions and projected exposure periods, the Offsite Radiation Advisor will determine an estimated dose for both Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) -child thyroid exposures.
These doses will then be compared to the EPA-400 protective action guidelines (PAGs) to arrive at a PAR. All recommendations will then be reviewed and approved by the Emergency Coordinator.
The recommendation will be transmitted to the EMAs in each of the local Counties and State via the dedicated telephone System.In the event that immediate offsite dose projections are required, they can be performed by the on-shift chemistry technician(s).
During this initial phase, the Shift Manager, in his capacity of Emergency Coordinator, will evaluate the available information and recommend appropriate protective actions to the offsite agencies in accordance with Section 6.4.In parallel with the activities at the Perry Plant, the State of Ohio will also develop PARs. The OEMA and Department of Health will establish a Radiological Assessment Team at the State EOC to develop a recommendation.
The State will deploy field monitoring teams to the vicinity of the Perry Plant to collect field monitoring data and will use a computerized link to the Perry Plant to obtain site meteorological and release data. Should this data link be unavailable, the State can also obtain meteorological and release information directly from the Perry Plant via the dedicated communications line.The State Radiological Assessment Team will develop a protective action recommendation using meteorological and release information similar to that used by the Offsite Radiation Advisor. The State PAR will be reviewed and approved by the Office of the Governor per the State's response plan prior to being transmitted to the three counties for consideration.
In accordance with the emergency plans for each of the three counties, their respective county EROs will receive the recommendations from the Perry Plant and the State of Ohio. The County EOC Executive Groups will coordinate with one another via a telephone conference network and make a final decision on protective actions to be implemented for the general public. Lake County will develop the appropriate Emergency Alert System (EAS) message and will coordinate the transmission and broadcasting of the appropriate message over EAS.6-11 Rev. 37 While the EAS message is being sent, Lake County will activate the Prompt Alerting System for the entire EPZ. This activation of the Prompt Alerting System is a signal to the public that an important message is being broadcast by EAS. By procedure, the County EOCs will implement the Radiological Emergency Response Plans and applicable SOPs/SOGs to carry out the agreed upon protective actions.In the event of a rapidly escalating emergency, the county plans and procedures direct the dispatcher to attempt to contact a higher authority to make the protective action decision.
If a higher authority cannot be contacted, the dispatcher has the authority and responsibility to activate the Prompt Alerting System and to place a message on EAS implementing a protective action recommendation.
Detailed discussions of the specific actions to be taken by the State and local county agencies are contained in the respective county Radiological Emergency Response Plans and the corresponding SOPs/SOGs.
 
====6.4.4 Ingestion====
 
Pathway Control Measures Provisions are made for implementing protective measures against excessive radiation exposure within the 10-mile EPZ due to direct radiation exposure and inhalation of radioactive material from the plume, in addition to exposure via the food ingestion pathway. The ingestion pathway control measures extend to a 50-mile radius.Table 6-2 provides guidance for the control of water and agricultural products within the Ingestion EPZ.State and local agencies will implement ingestion exposure control measures in accordance with these tables, based on field monitoring data and/or projected surface contamination concentrations.
Interface with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA)for ingestion pathway exposure control measures is provided by the State of Ohio.6.5 Contamination Control Measures This section describes provisions for preventing or minimizing direct exposure to radiation or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces.6.5.1 Site Areas Access to the site area is controlled.
In-plant contamination control is exercised in accordance with PAPs and Health Physics Instructions (HPIs) .The methods include isolation of contaminated areas to the extent feasible.
Necessary occupancy of contaminated areas requires the use of appropriate protective equipment.
Contamination control measures for equipment, tools, and other materials will be implemented in accordance with the Radiation Protection Program procedures and instructions.
These measures may include decontamination, marking for controlled use, or disposal as radioactive waste.6-12 Rev. 37
 
====6.5.2 Offsite====
Areas Measures available to minimize radiation exposure due to offsite surface contamination include evacuation, sheltering, or relocation of the affected population, and control of drinking water and agricultural products.
Federal government guidance for implementation of these measures is contained in Tables 6-1 and 6-2.The Emergency Coordinator will provide projected and/or measured offsite surface contamination concentrations to Federal, State and local agencies based on the Perry Plant emergency environmental monitoring activities.
These sampling activities, as well as the transfer of analyses results, will be coordinated with Federal and State monitoring efforts.6.5.3 Decontamination Individuals are considered contaminated when any area of the body surface is contaminated to levels of 1000 dpm/100 cm 2 beta-gamma and/or 20dpm/100 cm 2 alpha or greater. Personnel found to be contaminated will undergo decontamination by Radiation Protection personnel or other qualified personnel, in accordance with approved plant instructions.
It is preferred that personnel decontamination be performed by trained RP personnel, however, other Perry Plant personnel are instructed in both decontamination and first aid procedures.
Measures will be taken to prevent the spread of contamination.
Such measures may include isolating the affected areas, placing contaminated personnel in "clean" clothing before moving them, and decontamination of affected personnel, their clothing and equipment prior to release. Contaminated equipment and items generated as a result of the accident or decontamination process will be disposed of as radioactive waste.Provisions have been made to ensure contaminated and injured personnel receive specialized medical treatment if necessary.
Refer to Section 5.3.3 for contamination control and decontamination efforts associated with a radiologically contaminated injury. If contaminated injured personnel must be transported, measures shall be taken to prevent the spread of contamination.
Such measures may include placing the affected person in "clean" protective clothing, wrapping in blankets or plastic sheeting, and alerting the organizations which provide transportation and treatment.
6-13 Rev. 37
 
===6.6 Emergency===
 
Personnel Dose Control Emergency measures may warrant the acceptance of above-normal radiation exposures.
Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to population groups, or even preservation of a valuable installation, may all be sufficient cause for above normal exposures.
The Perry Plant's Radiation Protection Program provides procedural guidance for increased administrative dose control level authorization during emergency circumstances, and provides specific emergency exposure guides for the following situations:
: 1. Emergency conditions where immediate action is required to prevent destruction of equipment.
: 2. Emergency conditions where immediate action is required for life-saving actions.While specific exposure limits can be difficult to specify under emergency circumstances, exposures should be commensurate with the significance of the objective and held to the lowest practicable level that the emergency permits.The TSC Operations Manager, or the Operations Shift Manager, acting as Emergency Coordinator, if the TSC is not activated, is responsible for authorizing plant personnel to receive doses in excess of 10CFR20 limits under emergency situations.
The procedural guidance provides for permitting onsite volunteers to receive radiation exposures in the course of carrying out lifesaving and other emergency activities.
Dose rates during emergency situations will be evaluated utilizing normally available survey equipment.
Special portable survey instruments with an extended range to 1000 rem/hr are also available for conditions involving abnormally high radiation fields.Respiratory equipment is available for issuance by Radiation Protection (RP) Section during emergency conditions.
This equipment includes full-face particulate and iodine respirators, and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Emergency dosimetry, stored in emergency response facilities, will be issued, accounted for, and maintained in accordance with EPIs. Each emergency worker will be issued a permanent recording dosimeter and a direct reading dosimeter prior to either: (1) entering a RCA, (2) leaving or if located outside of the Control Room and TSC upon the declaration of a Site Area Emergency, or (3) as conditions warrant. The emergency personnel dosimetry program includes the capability to determine individual exposure on a 24-hour per day basis.Conduct of normal operations and maintenance inside the RCA requires utilization of a radiological work permit (RWP) .During emergency conditions, provisions have been made to direct radiological surveillance and perform emergency work without a RWP. Radiological conditions and other applicable information will be documented as soon as possible after the emergency.
6-14 Rev. 37
 
===6.7 Thyroid===
Blocking 6.7.1 Members of the General Public Upon declaration of a General Emergency, the Emergency Coordinator will recommend to the State and Counties that KI be issued to the General Public in accordance with the State Plan.6.7.2 Perry Emergency Workers A KI dose of 130 mg per day will be recommended for Perry Plant ERO personnel, who have no known thyroid problems or iodine allergies, if the potential exists for a radioiodine exposure to the thyroid at the following levels: 1. Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs)Equivalent to Adult Thyroid 10 Rem Committed Dose 2. ERO personnel onsite -Derived Airborne Concentration (DAC) of 4000 (Corresponds to 10 Rem CDE Adult Thyroid)Approval for the issuance of KI and its distribution shall be in accordance with EPI-B8.A sufficient quantity of KI to allow administration to onsite emergency workers for a period of ten days will be available.(INTENTIONALLY BLANK)6-15 Rev. 37 TABLE 6-1 GUIDELINE FOR PROTECTIVE ACTIONS AGAINST INGESTION OF CONTAMINATION

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT This section describes the facilities and equipment that are available for support in case of an emergency.
A diagram identifying the emergency facilities and their general location relative to each other is shown in Figure 7-1. Most of the facilities and the equipment are normally used for routine plant operations.
Other items are reserved for use only on an "as needed" basis.Alternate locations for the TSC and OSC are discussed in the following sections.
In the event that the site becomes inaccessible or if an evacuation of the onsite emergency response facilities is required (e.g., for security reasons, personnel safety), an alternate assembly area will be pre-designated as a muster point for the Emergency Response Organization.
JIC will be activated if the PIRT is required and cannot be established on the plant site.7.1 Emergency Centers 7.1.1 Technical Support Center (TSC)The TSC for Perry Plant is in the basement (603' elevation) of the Service Building, which is adjacent to the Control Complex Building.The TSC has been designed to have the same radiological habitability as the Control Room under accident conditions.
The TSC will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.3 to provide management, engineering, and technical support to the Control Room in an emergency.
The TSC will also function as the EOF for an Unusual Event or Alert or until such time as the EOF is activated and staffed. The TSC is large enough to provide adequate space for performance of its required functions.
The layout of the TSC is illustrated on Figure 7-2.A description of the communications available in the TSC is provided in Section 7.2.The technical data and instrumentation available in the TSC includes computer terminals to access the ICS and MIDAS programs which are described in Sections 7.5.1 and 7.5.10.1 respectively.
Up-to-date records, procedures, and instructions required to support the technical analysis and evaluation of emergency conditions are available in the TSC Records Room.In the event that the 603' elevation of the Service Building is uninhabitable or inaccessible, the onsite alternate TSC located on TEC first floor or the offsite TSC located in the EOF will used.7-1 Rev. 37 The TEC Alternate TSC area has an isolable, high-efficiency particulate air filtered ventilation system which functions in a manner comparable to the Control Room ventilation system. The proper operation of the TEC ventilation system while in its emergency isolation mode is periodically tested per PTI-M53-P0002.
Included in the ventilation system is a particulate, iodine, and noble gas radiation monitor which will distinguish radioiodines at concentrations as low as 1.OE-7 microcuries/cc.
This monitor provides continuous indication and has an alarm which activates when levels increase to a predetermined value. An area radiation monitor is also installed to indicate the radiation dose rate inside the Onsite Alternate TSC and provide an alarm when levels increase above a predetermined value.7.1.2 Operations Support Center (OSC)The OSC for the Perry Plant is on the 599' elevation of the Control Complex Building and encompasses Radiation Protection work areas, and Chemistry Labs. Protective clothing and radiation survey instruments are available in this area and can be used to support routine plant operations.
A conference room, located with the OSC, is used by the OSC Coordinator as the command center for OSC operations.
The layout of the OSC is illustrated on Figure 7-3.The 599' level of the Control Complex provides habitability which is comparable to that of the Control Room for direct radiation exposure.
Periodic habitability surveys will be performed by Radiation Protection personnel assigned to the OSC.The OSC will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.2 to provide an area for assembly and dispatch of support personnel during an emergency.
A description of the communications available in the OSC is provided in Section 7.2.At the OSC Coordinator's discretion, other plant areas such as the I&C lab, Maintenance Building machine shop, etc. may be utilized to provide additional space for assembling support personnel depending on plant conditions.and habitability considerations in the area being considered.
If the 599' level of the Control Complex elevation becomes uninhabitable or inaccessible, the Unit 2 Control Room can be used as an alternate location for the OSC.7-2 Rev. 37

Operations Facility (EOF) <L00537>The EOF for the Perry Plant is located 10.44 miles from the plant at 7751 Auburn Road Concord, Ohio adjacent to 1-90 and SR-44. The EOF is a controlled access prefabricated modular steel framed building capable of withstanding wind speeds of 100 miles per hour. An uninterruptable power supply coupled with a 400 KW diesel generator ensures the facility operations remains unaffected during outside power outages.The EOF will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.4 to provide overall management of emergency response, coordination of offsite radiological and environmental assessment activities, determination of public protective action recommendations, and coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, State, and Local agencies.
The EOF is also the central point for receipt and analysis of field monitoring data and coordination of sample media during an emergency.
The EOF has been sized to provide adequate space to perform all required functions including space for designated Federal, State of Ohio, and local county officials which may be sent to the EOF.There is a Personnel Decontamination Room in the EOF for decontamination should it be necessary.
In addition to supporting NRC site response team operations, the EOF has the ability to support interim public information activities being carried out by the Public Information Response Team (PIRT).The muster area of the EOF can be used for conducting small news media briefings.
The functions of the PIRT do not take precedence over the Perry Plant's commitment to support plant operation; therefore, public information activities will be transferred to the JIC when activated at a Site Area Emergency or upon notification that an NRC Site Team has been dispatched.
The layout of the EOF is illustrated in Figure 7-4.A description of the communications available in the EOF is provided in Section 7.2.The technical data and instrumentation available in the EOF include computer terminals to access the ICS and the MIDAS programs, which are described in Sections 7.5.1 and 7.5.10.1 respectively.
Up-to-date records, drawings, procedures, and instructions required to support overall management of emergency response are available in the EOF Records Room.7-3 Rev. 37
 
====7.1.4 Joint====
Information Center (JIC)The JIC for the Perry Plant is located at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, OH, about 16 miles from the site. The facilities used as the JIC provide space for over 350 media personnel as well as work space for Company, Federal, State and County public information personnel.
The JIC will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.5 to coordinate the release of emergency information and to provide the media, and hence the public, a single point of contact. The JIC also has provisions for media monitoring and rumor control.JIC personnel receive emergency information from the Perry Plant and from this information coordinate the development and distribution of news statements.
Information is then given to members of the news media in the form of typewritten copy and oral briefings.
The JIC will also provide logistics assistance to members of the news media present.A detailed layout of the JIC is contained in the Emergency Public Information Organization Manual.7-4 Rev. 37
 
===7.2 Communications===
 
Systems 7.2.1 Normal Communications Systems 1. Plant-to-Offsite Communications Voice communications between administrative office areas, the Control Room, selected plant areas, onsite emergency response facilities, and points outside the plant are provided by a commercial Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Telephone System.A backup communications link to the PBX system between various Perry Plant areas and offsite emergency response locations will be provided by the Off-Premise Exchange (OPX) Telephone System.The OPX system is a part of the Centrex based telephone system and is connected to the Perry Plant via the company owned and operated microwave relay system.Microwave and radio communications are also established between the Control Room and the System Control Center (SCC) to transmit voice, analog, and digital signals. The Microwave communication system is backed by very high frequency (VHF) radio. A detailed description of these telephone communications systems, including normal and backup power supplies, is provided in Section 9.5.2.2 of the USAR.2. Intra-Plant and Site Communications Voice communications between various plant buildings and locations is provided by a page/party, public address (PA)system. The Plant PA is specifically designed for utility and heavy industrial applications where intelligible communication in areas of high ambient noise is desired.Manually actuated Plant Emergency and Fire Alarms are activated from the Control Room. A multitone generator system provides high volume or alarm signals which are broadcast through the Plant PA speakers.A Maintenance and Calibration Communication System provides a 12 channel headset communicator network. A Control Room patch panel is used to connect up to 12 parties on one channel to allow communication between the Control Room and jack locations where equipment is being tested, maintained, or calibrated.
7-5 Rev. 37 The Exclusion Area Paging System is an independent PA system consisting of power amplifiers and high power speakers.
The system is capable of broadcasting either a prerecorded message, or voice message using a hand-held microphone, which are audible over the entire exclusion area.A detailed description of these systems, including their operation and normal backup power supplies, is provided in Section 9.5.2.2 of the USAR.7.2.2 Emergency Communications The various communications systems described in Section 7.2.1 provide reliable and redundant means for communicating between areas throughout the Perry Plant. To enhance the reliability of communications with offsite areas, agencies and authorities, various dedicated leased telephone lines are employed.
Several automatic ringdown circuits have also been programmed using the Perry Plant PBX Telephone System to assist in the rapid and unfiltered transfer of information between key ERO positions in each of the onsite Emergency Response Facilities.
In the event that one or more of the dedicated line networks are inoperative, commercial telephone lines, the Perry Plant's PBX, and Company's OPX systems will provide a back-up means of communications between the Perry Plant, Federal, State and local governments with primary responsibilities during an emergency.
A block diagram illustrating dedicated emergency telephone communications, used for offsite notification purposes between the Perry Plant and Federal, State and local counties authorities, is provided in Figure 7-5.1. Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS)In the event of a serious emergency at a nuclear power reactor site, the NRC considers it essential that certain communication pathways are established and maintained in order for the NRC to fulfill its emergency response mission. The Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) provides a network for essential communications functions.
The system uses the licensee's communication network to provide communications links to the NRC Operations Center on a regular basis and when normal telephone service (business dial tone) is unavailable.
These communications functions identified by the NRC as essential, particularly in the early phases of an accident, until an augmented response effort by NRC personnel and other agencies is established at the scene of the emergency, are discussed below.a. The Emergency Notification System (ENS) serves as the Perry Plant's primary means of initial notification of an event to the NRC, as well as ongoing information on plant systems, status, and parameters.
Instruments dedicated for ENS use are located in the following facilities:
: 1) Unit 1 Control Room (CR)7-6 Rev. 37
: 2) Technical Support Center (TSC)3) Alternate Technical Support Center (ATSCs)4) Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)b. The Health Physics Network (HPN) serves as the Perry Plant's communication link with the NRC on radiological conditions (in-plant and offsite) and meteorological conditions, as well as discussions on the assessment of trends and the need for protective measures onsite and offsite. Instruments dedicated for HPN use are located in the following facilities:
: 1) Technical Support Center (TSC)2) Alternate Technical Support Center (ATSCs)3) Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)c. The Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) channel over which raw reactor parametric data will be transmitted from the Perry Plant site. ERDS activation will be accomplished as part of TSC mobilization within one hour of an Alert declaration.
: d. Various counterpart and data links in support of NRC Regional Site Team personnel dispatched to the Perry Plant can be established using the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network. These counterpart links are established exclusively for NRC communications.
Instruments dedicated for the following uses are installed in the TSC and EOF: 1) Management Counterpart Link (MCL)2) Reactor Safety Counterpart Link (RSCL)3) Protective Measures Counterpart Link (PMCL)4) Local Area Network (LAN) Access In addition to the Emergency Telecommunications Systems (ETS)network, additional plant Private Branch Exchange (PBX)extensions are also available in the Control Room, TSC and onsite ATSC to support the NRC Resident Inspector(s) and Regional Site Team personnel.
Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network drops are also available at the Perry Plant's offsite ATSC and EOF to support the NRC Resident Inspector(s) and Regional Site Team personnel.
7-7 Rev. 37 Testing of the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network by the Perry Plant will be conducted in accordance with Section 8.5. Needed repairs to the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network when discovered will be reported to the NRC per PSI-0007.2. Emergency Response Network ("5-Way")The primary communications link between the Perry Plant and the offsite State and local county EOCs or 24-hour notification points will be through a dedicated telephone conference loop, referred to as the "5-Way". Instruments off the "5-Way" Circuit are located in the following locations:
: a. Control Room b. Technical Support Center (TSC)c. Alternate Technical Support Center (ATSCs)d. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)e. Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA)1) EOC Emergency Operations Center; Columbus, OH 2) 24 hour Backup -Ohio State Highway Patrol Office;Columbus, OH f. Ashtabula County 1) Notification point -Sheriff's Department Dispatcher
: 2) EOC (Jefferson, OH)g. Geauga County 1) Notification point -Geauga County Central Communications Center 2) EOC (Chardon, OH)h. Lake County 1) Notification point -Lake County Emergency Operations and Communications Center, Central Communications Center 2) EOC (Mentor, OH)Commercial telephone lines have been installed in the Control Room, TSC, ATSC and EOF to serve as a backup to the Emergency Response Network ("5-way")
or the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network ENS Circuit. These lines bypass the Perry Plant PBX and are routed via fiber optic cable to the telephone company's local central office in Perry, Ohio.7-8 Rev. 37 Limited plant operating data, site Meteorological Tower data, and plant effluent monitor data are provided electronically to the OEMA via the internet.
This information is used to support offsite dose projections.
: 3. Inter-Facility Network The dedicated communications loop serving as a command and control circuit between the facility lead and Operations support positions in the Control Room, TSC, and EOF. The Inter-Facility Network is used by the Emergency Coordinator to coordinate and disseminate decision-making activities.
: 4. Public Information Communications Commercial telephone lines will be used to establish and maintain an open communications path between EOF to the JIC for updates on plant and event status, as well as the development and approval of Company press releases.5. Radio Communications Two-way radio communications at the Perry Plant are provided by a base to portable radio system. Separate radio channels are designated for specific in-plant and field functions.
The Plant Radio System can be accessed from the facilities onsite in support of emergency response activities via portable radio units assigned to the various plant elements and used on a daily basis.The Central Alarm Station (CAS) can also establish radio communications with the Lake County Sheriff's Office.A more detailed description of the Plant Radio System is contained in USAR Chapter 9.5.2.2.3.
In addition, the Perry Plant utilizes a reliable, trunked radio system as its primary means of communicating with its Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs) in the field from the TSC and EOF dose assessment areas. Access to the trunked radio system from the TSC and EOF is via radio-to-radio access. Commercial mobile/cellular telephones, installed in designated RMT vehicles, will serve as a backup to the trunked radio system.7.3 ERO Notifications To provide for rapid augmentation of the shift staff by the ERO, an Emergency Paging System consisting of three separate modes has been devised. These modes consist of: (1) automated paging/callout system;(2) manual activation of pager utilizing the PBX Voice Mail feature; and (3) manual activation of pager utilizing the OPX Voice Mail feature.7-9 Rev. 37 The objective of this system is to enhance the ability of the ERO to respond and augment the shift staff within the time frames identified in Table 5-1. Basically, the system will operate as follows: 1. The Shift Manager initially determines that an EAL will or has been exceeded.2. The Shift Manager or designee will select or draft a message for playback to responders and direct the SAS Operator or available staff to record the message. A pre-designated on-call individual can also be contacted by the Shift Manager to initiate the emergency paging system if an event occurs where SAS and other on-shift personnel are unavailable to initiate the system.3. Paging devices carried by designated ERO personnel are activated at this time by SAS, available on-shift personnel or pre-designated on-call personnel using either private commercial telephone lines, the Perry PBX or FirstEnergy telephone systems.4. Paged personnel call in a response for their designated position and to hear recorded message. From the message received, the paged personnel will determine to what degree they should respond.5. The paged personnel initiate callouts for which they are responsible to the degree necessary to ensure adequate personnel respond to the emergency.
: 6. The SAS Operator, available on-shift personnel, or pre-designated on-call individual will check which individuals have responded with the emergency callout list to ensure that the appropriate positions have been contacted.
 
===7.4 Prompt===
Alert Siren System Alerting and notification of the 10-mile EPZ population is accomplished under the direction of the local county EMA/DES. To facilitate the alerting of the public, a Prompt Alert Siren System, which meets the design objectives of NUREG-0654, Appendix 3, is installed throughout the EPZ in Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula Counties.The Prompt Alert Siren System consists of 76 "electronic" sirens. Each siren consists of an electronic signal source (oscillator), power amplifiers, an array of loudspeakers, batteries and a battery charger, and a radio controller.
Sirens with nominal rated outputs of 109 decibels (dB), 115 dB and 123 dB have been incorporated into the Prompt Alert Siren System. The sirens are numbered separately in each county for ease of identification (e.g., Ll -Lake County, siren #1).7-10 Rev. 37 In general, the sirens have been located along public roadways, on the opposite side of the street from utility lines where possible.
Most sirens have been mounted on wooden utility poles at least 50 feet above the ground with all sirens mounted at sufficient heights to avoid exposing the public to excessive noise levels. All sirens have a public address capability to broadcast voice messages at.the discretion of the local county EMAs.All sirens are operated by radio frequency (RF) control systems consisting of: 1. Three central-station control units, each having a backup power supply, are located in the local County EOCs.2. Individual control-signal receivers at each siren location.Each siren can also be operated manually at the siren site with an appropriate access key. The sirens in each county are under the control of the respective county officials.
Upon receipt of a START signal, a siren will produce the selected sound for approximately 3 minutes, or until a CANCEL signal is received.
The sirens in this system are capable of continuous operation for up to 30 minutes from batteries, even in the event of a total distribution power failure. Figure 7-6 shows the locations of all sirens.A siren test program has been established to include biweekly tests. For the most part, "quiet" tests are utilized, except for a quarterly audible test. The quiet test Consists of the initiation from one of the local counties Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of an inaudible tone that verifies operation of the siren station components.
Using the test results located at the siren station, a silent test will confirm the following:
: 1) AC power available;
: 2) DC power available;
: 3) partial and full amplifier and speaker driver operation, and 4) rotor operation (on those that have a rotating capacity).
The annual full operability test requirement will be met during one of the quarterly audible tests. The annual test consists of the activation of the full Prompt Alerting System from one or all of the county Emergency Operations Centers.PSI-0021 serves as the controlling document for the performance of the tests.7.5 Assessment Facilities The systems and equipment described in the following sections show that the capabilities and resources are available to provide valid and continuing assessment of conditions throughout the course of an accident.7.5.1 Integrated Computer System (ICS)ICS has been developed to furnish plant operators and other emergency personnel with critical plant data in the event of an emergency.
7-i11 Rev. 37 ICS is an integrated system that gathers the required plant data, stores and processes that data, generates visual displays for the operator and other personnel who need plant status information, and provides printed records of transient events. The basic components of ICS are the Data Acquisition System (DAS), the Central Processor Units, and the Graphic Display Consoles.The DAS interfaces with existing plant sensors or devices, converts the acquired signal to digital data, and performs some pre-processing of the data before passing it on to the central processors.
The Central Processor Units (CPUs) are computer modules that accept data from the pre-processors, store the data, perform calculations, validate*
the information, and generate displays according to the programmed formats.The Graphic Display Console (GDC) consists of a display and keyboard.
The display generates a variety of graphic real-time displays that are available on command from the keyboard.
The displays are capable of showing critical plant parameters such as water levels, temperatures, pressures, flows, and status of pumps, valves, and other equipment.
More significantly, they provide the plant operator with a central display of critical "symptoms" of the plant conditions that assist the operator in entering and following the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and achieving the required actions. None of the GDCs are a control console; they are strictly a source of safety significant information which, when used in conjunction with the existing CR instrumentation, assists CR personnel in performing their emergency response functions.
ICS data is available on a CRT monitor in the CR at various locations.
GDCs are also located in the Remote Shutdown Room, TSC, OSC and EOF.Other equipment located in the TSC provides the capability of printing out in tabular or graphic formats all the ICS variables as a function of time. Statistical analysis and other analyses may also be performed.
 
====7.5.2 Gamma====
Spectroscopy System (GSS)The Gamma Spectroscopy System (GSS) is a multi-user computer based data information system provided for the operation of Radiochemistry and Radiation Protection.
GSS consists of multiple gamma spectroscopy units.To enhance system reliability, GSS includes redundant computers.
All data normally accumulated and stored on both computers is accessible.
The system is configured for efficient multi-tasking operation.
* Validation is the action taken in using redundant signals or other secondary signals to increase the confidence in the data presented.
7-12 Rev. 3 7
 
====7.5.3 Plant====
Radiological Monitors Radiological monitors are installed throughout the plant to provide detection, measurement, and indication of area radiation, airborne radioactivity concentrations, and process radioactivity concentrations.
A summary description of various radiation monitors which are generally described below, is provided in USAR Chapter 11.5.In general, the plant radiological monitors have been designed in accordance with the following:
: 1. Area Radiation Monitoring System (ARMS)The Area Radiation Monitoring System (ARMS) provides continuous detection, measurement, and indication of the ambient gamma radiation level through the use of gamma-sensitive detectors located in selected areas of the plant.This system supplements radiological protection for plant personnel, helps to minimize personnel exposure to radiation, and aids the reactor operator by providing instrumentation which may be used for monitoring radiation levels throughout the plant during normal operation and following an incident.
The system consists of independent channels strategically located throughout the plant in areas where radioactive material may be present or inadvertently introduced, in areas where high radiation levels may develop, or in areas where the operator may gain information regarding the nature and extent of an incident.Most channels are operated from the Control Room panels. Each of these channels consists of three basic components:
detector, alarm indicator unit, and a control room readout module. Local instrument channels consist of the detector and an enclosure containing a single channel ratemeter, alarm light, and horn.The detectors are wall-mounted gamma sensitive devices located in the specific areas of concern. The alarm and indicator units are located nearby the respective detectors to provide plant personnel in the area with radiation dose rate level indication, visual alarms, and an audible alarm. Where necessary, remote warning units are provided in addition to the local alarm and indicator units.Each channel has two warning functions at the local alarm and indicator unit: a red warning light with an associated audible alarm corresponds to a high radiation level. Each channel has visual alarm indication of alert, high radiation, and channel failure on the readout module. In addition, all channels (except local channels) are recorded on multipoint recorders located in the Control Room.To assist in post-accident evaluation, high range gamma monitors have been added to the reactor building and to the drywell to provide a range of 1 R/hr to i07 R/hr. They are powered from independent 120V AC, diesel-backed buses and are provided with continuous readout and multipoint recorders in the Control Room.7-13 Rev. 37 Two monitors will be located in the drywell at approximately core midplane spread approximately 320 apart centered approximately at 2250 azimuth.Two monitors are located in the Reactor Building at approximately the 689' level, and the same degree spread and azimuth as those in the drywell.2. Process Radiation Monitoring System The Process Radiation Monitoring (PRM) System provides detection, measurement, and indication of either effluent stream radioactivity concentration, or gross gamma intensity at strategic plant locations.
Several monitors provide trip signals which automatically initiate Reactor Protection System functions, Nuclear Steam Supply Shutoff functions, or the stoppage of radwaste effluent flow. All process monitors provide CR indication and alarm features for operator information.
All process channels are continually energized.
Each channel consists of a detector, log-ratemeter, and a recorder.Sampling racks are provided for those channels that require laboratory analysis of the effluent stream being monitored.
All liquid monitors utilize a sample pump to draw a representative sample, drive it past the detector, effect grab sampling (as necessary), and then return the fluid to the effluent stream.3. Air Monitors Fixed continuous air monitors and portable air monitors and samplers are utilized to determine the concentrations of airborne radioactivity throughout the plant.The fixed air monitors provide continuous data to indicate trends throughout the various plant areas. Particulate filters and iodine sampling cartridges are removed periodically to identify the specific nuclides.The airborne radiation monitor typically consists of a particulate measuring channel, an iodine measuring channel, and a gas measuring channel. These monitors provide supporting data for the surveillance of plant radioactivity levels and documentation for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements.
A typical airborne radiation monitor subsystem operates as follows: A representative sample of air from a ventilation duct is drawn through a sample line to the airborne monitor unit by means of an air pump. Sampling of the ducts is achieved by the use of a sample probe placed in the air stream. The area of the probe tip is sized so that the velocity of the sample at the probe tip approximates the velocity of the air at the design flow rate in the duct.7-14 Rev. 37 Sampling points on ventilation ducts are taken, whenever possible, at points such that the ventilation flow is fully developed and mixing is complete.
The sample passes through a particulate, iodine, and gas channel in series. Each channel is independent.
In the particulate channel, the sample air passes through a fixed or moving filter which collects particulates and is monitored by a beta scintillation detector, the output of which is preamplified and transmitted to a ratemeter located in the Control Room. The detector and filter are enclosed in a lead shield to reduce the background radiation effects.In the iodine channel, the sample passes through an activated charcoal cartridge which traps the radioactive iodine. A shielded gamma scintillation detector monitors the cartridge.
The output signal is preamplified and transmitted to a ratemeter located in the CR. In the gas channel, the sample enters a shielded volume monitored by a beta sensitive scintillation detector.
The output signal is preamplified and transmitted to a ratemeter in the Control Room.The gas is exhausted back to the ventilation duct. Differential pressure switches across the filter and charcoal cartridges are provided to give high and low flow alarms at the unit and in the CR. Flow regulation is used to maintain a constant flow through the filters. A flow indicator, flow alarms, and log ratemeter indication and alarms are also provided on the unit enclosure.
Sampling systems for the purpose of collecting radioiodines and particulate effluents are connected to the following effluent flow paths: a. Unit Vent (1 & 2)b. Heater Bay/Turbine Building Vent c. Off-Gas Vent Monitoring of radioactive Iodine concentrations under accident conditions in areas where personnel may be present is accomplished with portable Iodine sampling cartridges and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy.
The particulate prefilter will also be analyzed by gamma spectroscopy.
Fixed high range monitors will monitor noble gas concentrations under accident conditions.
7-15 Rev. 37 7.5.4 Fire Protection System Fire protection at the Perry Plant consists of water, halon, foam, and carbon dioxide fire protection systems. Fire detection systems also monitor the condition of numerous control valves and equipment of the fire protection system, and the condition of smoke, heat, and flame detectors located throughout the plant. If an alarm occurs on one of the detectors, the point address and type of alarm is transmitted to the Fire and Security Monitoring System which alarms in the SAS located in the Control Room. Appropriate action is then initiated by the SAS Operator to confirm the alarm or initiate fire fighting efforts.A detailed description of the Fire Protection System's design and capabilities is provided in Chapter 9.5.1 of the PNPP USAR.7.5.5 Seismic Event Monitors The Environmental Monitoring System monitors and records any seismic event which affects the area surrounding the containment structure.
Section 3.7.4.2 of the USAR contains a complete list of equipment.
The monitor's readings are recorded on recording plates, paper charts, and magnetic tape for future reference.
Specific monitors will trip an annunciator in the CR if an abnormal seismic signal is detected.
Upon receiving a signal, the plant operators will verify that the plant is still in a safe operating condition, or take steps to return the plant to a safe condition.
 
====7.5.6 Hydrological====
 
Monitors To assure that the underground hydrostatic pressure is less than that critical to structural stability, 21 standpipes are located in the basements of the safety related buildings.
These will be checked and the levels recorded periodically.
A detailed description of the Underdrain and Gravity Discharge Systems, used to control groundwater around the Perry Plant, is contained in USAR Chapter 2.4.13.7.5.7 Onsite Meteorological Measurement Program The Onsite Meteorological Program at the Perry Plant site began in April 1972. The 60 meter tower was upgraded and moved 3,500 feet to a new location in August 1977. The tower was moved in 1977 in order to minimize any potential effect of the PNPP cooling towers under construction at the time and as a result of cooling tower operation.
Regional weather data is also available for manual input to the emergency dose assessment computer program from the Cleveland-Hopkins branch of the National Weather Service (NWS).This data is available on a 24-hour-per-day-basis and is representative of the meteorological conditions at the Perry Plant.7-16 Rev. 37
 
====7.5.8 Laboratory====
 
Facilities The Perry Plant laboratory facilities are equipped to provide the water chemistry and radiochemical analysis support required during normal plant operations and in the event of an emergency to assist in the diagnosis of plant conditions.
This emergency sampling capability is part of the Post-Accident Sampling System (PASS).The PASS is designed to: i. Collect liquid and gaseous samples from containment after a loss-of-coolant accident.2. Provide in-line analysis of collected liquid samples for total dissolved gas, pH, specific conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.3. Provide samples for onsite and offsite laboratories for wet chemistry and isotopic analysis.In addition, the system is designed to minimize radiation exposure to operating personnel during post accident sampling conditions.
The maximum exposure to each operator during sampling transport and analysis is limited to 5 Rem TEDE and 75 Rem to the extremities (hands and feet).The shielding study conducted in response to NUREG-0737, TMI Action Plan, Item II.B.2 shows that the normal counting and laboratory facilities will be habitable in post accident conditions.
Therefore the normal counting room will be used to perform isotopic analysis of post accident samples, and an offsite contractor laboratory will be used to provide backup liquid analysis capabilities, as required.A backup counting room is provided in the TSC. This counting room is equipped with a Multi-Channel Analyzer.7.5.9 Facilities and Equipment for Offsite Monitoring
: 1. Geophysical Phenomena Monitors Information gathered by the natural phenomena monitors (meteorological and seismic) will be available in the Control Room. Detailed information from the seismic and hydrological indications in the plant will be collected, and relayed to the Control Room. The information, if required, may then be transmitted to offsite locations via telephone.
In the event that the information is not available, or cannot be relayed to offsite locations, the offsite locations may obtain some of the information from local airports and weather bureaus.2. Radiological Environmental Monitors The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) may be utilized to assess the emergency.
7-17 Rev. 37 In the event of an accident, the sampling stations may be used to collect information to aid in the assessment of the accident.Instrumentation at the sampling stations includes radiation measuring devices with selected stations having equipment to continuously sample the air.The sampling locations and types of samples are shown in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). In addition, the Perry Plant REMP Manual provides detailed information concerning sample types and locations.
In addition to the REMP instrumentation available for monitoring the area surrounding the Perry Plant, portable instrument readings will be taken during emergencies by RMTs. These teams will be trained and provided with equipment to monitor for direct radiation, airborne particulate activity, and radioiodines.
Radioiodine monitoring will be accomplished using a portable air sampler to draw air through a particulate filter then through a silver impregnated, silica gel cartridge.
The cartridge will then be monitored and the results used in calculations to provide an airborne radionuclide concentration.
This method has a minimum sensitivity of 1 x 10E-7 pCi/cc under field conditions.
7.5.10 Dose Assessment Capabilities
: 1. Automated Dose assessment in the event of an emergency at the Perry Plant will be accomplished using a computerized system that receives data automatically from the site meteorological (MET) tower, plant radiation monitors, and the Plant Integrated Computer System. The software package that performs these functions is referred to as MIDAS (Meteorological Information Dose Assessment System).The MIDAS software package is installed and operated on designated processors located in the Control Room, TSC, EOF.Each processor runs inma multi-tasked environment under a"Windows" system and is capable of running independently.
Individual processors interface with the Plant Integrated Computer System on a real time basis to obtain meteorological data, plant vent flow and radiation monitor data, and other plant status indicators used in the MIDAS logic. Should this computer link fail, MIDAS will allow the user to manually enter the necessary data using user-friendly prompts.7-18 Rev. 37 MIDAS is entirely menu driven and is configured to provide for rapid calculation of offsite doses for a monitored release automatically seeking inputs for the calculation and formulation of decisions based on plant data. MIDAS also provides for a summation of dose over multiple monitored release points and allows a user the ability to manually enter and edit data or an unmonitored release. Dispersion and dose calculations can be initiated by a single operator at any of the designated processors.
MIDAS complies with EPA-400 in all facets of dose projection.
MIDAS complies for the projection of early phase (predominately plume exposure) and intermediate phase (ground exposure) doses, with the exception that Committed Dose Equivalent for a child thyroid is conservatively calculated in lieu of the generic EPA-400 thyroid.The user is prompted to manually select the appropriate core state (i.e., GAP Release, In-Vessel Severe Core Damage Uncovered> 30 Minutes, or Vessel Melt Through).
The source term assigned to each specific core state is based on the guidance established in RTM-96. Thirty-five (35) nuclide species required by RTM-96 as well as Rb-88 and Cs-138 are considered.
MIDAS will also allow a user to manually enter an isotopic analyses if known, to more realistically determine the source term.MIDAS will then dynamically calculate the radiological inventory available for release, applying the applicable decay factors and radioiodine reduction factors per RTM-96 based on the release path. Nuclide decay, amount of rainfall if applicable is also taken into account for time after shutdown and downwind plume travel.A straight-line, Class A, Gaussian model and a time-dependent, variable trajectory, Class 'B' plume segment model is used in MIDAS for the real time, rapid estimation of dose in the 10-mile EPZ to the general public following the classification of an emergency event or the recognition of a severe radiological release. Any release from the plant is considered by MIDAS to be ground level released in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.145.Atmospheric dispersion or CHI/Q values for plume centerline are dynamically calculated in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.145 using actual 15-minute meteorological data from the site MET tower, as described in USAR Chapter 2.3.3.4. Should main and backup MET tower data become unavailable, MIDAS offers alternative choices to the user for conservative dispersion coefficients based on other available indications.
Atmospheric dispersion or CHI/Q values for plume centerline are dynamically calculated in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.145 using actual 15-minute meteorological data from the site MET tower, as described in USAR Chapter 2.3.3.4. Should main and backup MET tower data become unavailable, MIDAS offers alternative choices to the user for conservative dispersion coefficients based on other available indications.
7-19 Rev. 37 Regional weather data is also available for manual input to the emergency dose assessment computer program from the Cleveland Hopkins Airport branch of the National Weather Service (NWS).This data is available on a 24-hour per day basis.MIDAS dose projection results, provided in a tabular format, are sufficient to allow the user to identify the plume position, and the location, magnitude and arrival time of (1) the peak relative concentration and (2) the relative concentrations at appropriate locations.
MIDAS allows a user to separately enter data from plant RMTs in the field, which can be used to: (1) compare calculations based on RMT data to effluent monitor readinigs, (2) extrapolate readings to other upwind and downwind locations, and (3) to display RMT information at other workstations.
Contingency calculations for Spent Fuel Release from Containment and the Fuel Handling Building are analyzed.
This option provides a user with contingency routines for dose calculations based upon the potential for a release, allowing a user to diagnosis
("what if") a potential radiological situation based core status and on potential system failure.Each dose projection, once accepted, will be assigned to the affected sector/sub-area unless an evacuation in that sector/sub-area has been ordered, in which case, the evacuation time estimate for that sector/sub-area will be factored into the dose assigned to that sector/sub-area.
MIDAS will calculate an accumulated dose to the hypothetical highest exposed individual, i.e., one who was located at the plume centerline for the duration of the release(s).
MIDAS does not factor in census data to determine total population dose.Each MIDAS PC is separate and independent of one another. The software is not designed to transfer accumulated dose between PCs.MIDAS provides the user with the ability to: (1) review and revise data received directly from the Plant Integrated Computer System until MIDAS is directed to perform calculation, (2)lockout data points if the value is the user to be in error, and (3) store each calculation based on actual releases for later recall until file maintenance is performed.
Once a dose projection is completed, MIDAS will automatically provide the user with the most conservative protective action recommendation (PAR) based on the following options: (1) General Emergency default based on guidance set forth in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-I, or (2) EPA-400 specified values of either 1 Rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 5 Rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) -Child Thyroid. A detailed description of the default PARs based on plant status is contained in Section 6.4.1.7-20 Rev. 37 At the user's command, MIDAS will provide printouts of all major assumptions, Plant Integrated Computer System inputs or manual inputs for each calculation (actual releases as well as contingency calculations), dose and dose rates from the Site Boundary to 10-miles, and PARs based on subareas.
Each printout will have a date and time stamp, Actual or Drill mode to document when the calculation or PAR was completed.
: 2. Backup Method Offsite Dose Calculations NOP-LP-5007 contains the methodology and information necessary to perform dose projections during emergency conditions at the Perry Plant in accordance with NUREG-0654 and EPA-400-92-R-001.
The backup method, (manual) data entry mode mimics the MIDAS methodology delineated in 7.5.10.1 (Automated).
All pertinent effluent data is made available from the Integrated Computer System (ICS) and access to the Safety Parameters Display System (SPDS) .In case of loss of power, an un-interruptible Power Supply, (UPS) with diesel backed power to sustain operations of MIDAS dose assessment software and ICS and SPDS computers.
See section 7.1.3 of EPlan.a. Instructions for determination of meteorology and atmospheric dispersion parameters, or X/Q values, are presented for use in the event that atmospheric dispersion cannot be ascertained directly from the site Meteorological Tower. Instructions are also provided on how to obtain or determine other meteorological parameters from alternate sources.b. The calculational methodology is provided for the various release points based on effluent monitor readings and accident type. The individual performing the calculation must choose which vent monitor(s) are indicating a release and perform the appropriate calculations.
These calculations are broken down as follows: Unit 1/Unit 2 Vent Monitors: 1) Drywell (DW) or Containment LOCA o Containment Venting o Containment Failure (i.e., Design Bases Leakage, Total Failure)2) Containment Bypass, MSLB, or Offgas Release 7-21 Rev. 37

9.0 RE-ENTRY AND RECOVERY The protection of plant personnel and the general public is of prime importance in any emergency.
Once the immediate protective and corrective actions have been taken and the emergency has been brought under control, the emergency actions will shift into the Recovery phase, where all actions should be planned and deliberate.
Downgrading of a Site Area Emergency to a lesser classification can be directed by the Emergency Coordinator when the following conditions are met: 1. The intent of the EAL entry conditions for the classification are no longer met;2. Plant conditions are stable, and the prognosis for improvement is good;3. Downgrading the event does not interfere with the emergency response activities of the NRC, State of Ohio, and local counties.Due to the severity and potential of off-site consequences associated with a General Emergency, downgrading from this emergency classification is not permitted.
Instead, the General Emergency will be terminated when the criteria outlined in <EPI-Al> are met, and a Recovery Phase implemented.
The Recovery plan will provide for a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to existing conditions, as it is not possible to anticipate in advance all of the conditions that may be encountered in any emergency situation.
Therefore, the Recovery Plan is intended to address general principles that will serve as a guide for developing specific instructions for use at the time.9.1 Re-entry Phase Re-entry consists of the planned return to an evacuated area, either in-plant or onsite, to perform a specific operation, assessment or repair in support of Recovery efforts, i.e., manipulation or repair of critical equipment and systems.During the Emergency Phase, entry into evacuated in-plant and site areas will be coordinated through the OSC using the procedural controls established per <EPI-A7> to ensure that appropriate radiological and safety precautions are evaluated.
Upon entry into the Recovery Phase, re-entry activities will be prioritized, authorized and directed through the Recovery Organization discussed in Section 9.2. A Re-entry Team Coordinator shall be appointed following the de-activation of the OSC, to coordinate the briefing and provide logistical support to re-entry team members. Therefore, an organized structure is in place during the Emergency and Recovery Phases to assess existing and potential hazards to re-entry personnel and implement or relax protective measures as deemed appropriate.
Specific responsibilities and duties for re-entry activities are outlined in <EPI-AI0>.
9-1 Rev. 37
 
===9.2 Recovery===
Phase The Emergency Coordinator will have the responsibility to determine when the Emergency Phase will be terminated and Recovery Phase initiated.
The entry into the Recovery Phase and the establishment of a Recovery Organization are mandatory when terminating an event from a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.
Entry into Recovery from any other emergency classification is optional and, therefore, at the discretion of the Emergency Coordinator.
Prior to entering the Recovery Phase, the Emergency Coordinator appoints a Recovery Director and Recovery Organization be assembled per Figure 9-1 to develop and coordinate a Recovery Plan, instructions, and schedules for the Recovery operations.
The Emergency Coordinator may use his judgment in authorizing the interim use of existing, non-shift ERO personnel to meet initial Recovery Organization staffing.Recovery actions should be preplanned with adequate evaluation of plant conditions and data acquired during the course of the emergency.
Decisions to relax protective measures will be reviewed by the Recovery Organization to ensure that radiation exposure and personnel hazards are minimized.
As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) radiation exposure practices shall apply during the Recovery and restoration.
The Recovery Plan program involves the determination of the damage to equipment; the installation of shielding, rope barriers and signs; the application of safety tags, performing decontamination and cleanup as required to place the plant in an acceptable long term condition, and the periodic determination of total population exposure.
Recovery operations shall not be initiated until the area affected by the emergency has been defined. Particular attention shall be directed towards isolating components and systems as required to control or minimize the hazards. A systematic investigation shall be conducted to determine what equipment has been damaged and the extent of the damage.The Recovery Plan shall also address actions needed to perform detailed investigation of the accident causes and consequences both to the plant and the environment; determine repair work or modifications to plant equipment, revisions to operating procedures, and test programs; and estimating accumulated dose to the general public.Recovery operations that may result in the release of radioactive materials shall be evaluated by the Recovery Director and his Recovery Organization as far in advance as possible.
Such events and data pertaining to the release shall be reported to the appropriate offsite emergency organizations and agencies.The Recovery Organization may be modified by the Recovery Director to effectively assess and restore the plant to a long-term safe shutdown condition.
At such time, the formal termination of the Recovery Phase and implementation of a restoration program shall be discussed with and concurred by the NRC, and State and local county officials.

2.0 SCOPE

AND APPLICABILITY This plan is written for, and the provisions are applicable to, the Perry Plant Unit 1.2.1 Site Description The Perry Plant, Unit 1, is located on the southeastern shoreline of Lake Erie in Lake County, Ohio, approximately seven miles northeast of Painesville, Ohio. FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company is responsible for the operation of the plant.The Perry Plant, Unit 1 is a (3758 MWt) Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) of the General Electric Company design, supplying steam to a General Electric turbine generator.

The plant site covers approximately 1100 acres located on an ancient lake plain approximately 50 feet above the lake low water datum. Although relatively flat, the site has a very gentle slope toward the lake. A large portion of the site is forested, some 250 acres are devoted to the plant structural complex. A comprehensive description of site characteristics and plant location is contained in Chapter 2.0 of the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant.The primary source of potable water in the area is Lake Erie. The nearest potable water intake is the Painesville Water Supply, approximately

3.9 miles

west-southwest of the site.2.2 Population Distribution The population in the area surrounding Perry Plant is distributed from the northeast around to the west southwest.

Preparedness Support Instruction, PSI-0013, provides a breakdown of the total permanent resident population within 10-mile EPZ of the plant, and contains the Evacuation Time Estimates (ETE) for areas around the Perry Plant and discusses population distributions in detail.2.3 Emergency Planning Zones Emergency planning zones (EPZs) are areas designated for which planning is recommended to assure that prompt and effective actions are taken to protect the public in the event of an accident.Two primary zones have been established for the purposes of emergency planning around the Perry Plant. The first is the Plume Exposure Pathway EPZ. This zone, commonly referred to as the "10-mile EPZ," encompasses an area roughly corresponding to the area within a 10-mile radius of the.Perry Plant. In defining the 10-mile EPZ for the Perry Plant, the following criteria were applied: 1. The designated area must approximate the recommended 10-mile radius area as specified in Federal regulations.

2-1 Rev. 37

2. The designated area must be readily identifiable and comprehensible to allow for effective public broadcasting of information and guidance during an emergency event requiring area evacuation.
3. The perimeter of the designated evaluation area should not have major irregularities to maintain a credible area boundary.The 10-mile EPZ around the Perry Plant encompasses land areas in Ashtabula, Geauga and Lake Counties, and a defined "safety" zone extending north into Lake Erie. A total of 17 municipal jurisdictions are situated wholly or partially within the 10-mile radius area. Of primary concern in the 10-mile EPZ is direct exposure to a passing radioactive plume and inhalation of radioactive particulate materials.

The protective actions for the 10-mile EPZ are discussed in Section 6.4.A review of the topographic conditions and jurisdictional boundaries in the area surrounding the Perry Plant has led to the definition of the EPZ as depicted in Figure 2-1, and described below.The eastern EPZ boundary follows the Geneva Township boundary south to Interstate 90, and west on 1-90 to Route 534. It follows Route 534 south to the Harpersfield Township boundary and continues west to the Geauga/Ashtabula County line. At this point it follows the county line south to Route 166, and west on Route 166 to the county line. The EPZ boundary continues west along the county line to the Concord Township western boundary.

From there it follows township line northward to the intersection with the Con Rail tracks, cross-country to Mentor Marsh, and then continues west through the marsh to Lake Erie. The EPZ extends into Lake Erie due north from the south shore at the 810 20' West longitude; then easterly along the 410 57' North latitude; and finally extends due south along the 800 56' W longitude to the shoreline.

The second EPZ extends to a 50-mile radius of the Perry Plant. This zone, also known as the Ingestion Pathway EPZ, is shown in Figure 2-2.Once exceeding the 10-mile radius, direct exposure to a passing plume is no longer of significant concern. At this point, the ingestion pathway of exposure is of greatest concern. The State of Ohio has assumed primary responsibility for planning, coordination and implementation of protective actions for the general public within the Ingestion Pathway EPZ. The primary emphasis in the Ingestion Pathway EPZ is on the prevention of uptake by people and animals. Protective Actions for the Ingestion Pathway EPZ are discussed in. Section 6.4.4 and in the State of Ohio Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Response Plan.2.4 Purpose and Objectives

2.4.1 Regulatory

Requirements Section 50.34 to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (IOCFR50.34) "Technical Information, Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," requires that a Licensee's Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) include specific plans for coping with emergencies which shall include the items specified in Appendix E to Part 50.2-2 Rev. 37 Supplemental guidance has been provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)in NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-l.

These documents describe methods acceptable for compliance with regulations regarding nuclear power plant emergency plans.2.4.2 Purpose of Emergency Preparedness The purpose of emergency preparedness is to provide a mechanism that would be utilized in making decisions in the event of an emergency, and to assure that the necessary equipment, supplies, and essential services are available.

2.4.3 Objectives

2.5 Summary

of Emergency Plan Inter-Relationships This Emergency Plan should not, by itself, be considered the primary working document to be used during an. emergency.

The purpose of the Emergency Plan is to classify emergencies according to their nature and severity, assign responsibilities for actions, and clearly outline an effective course of action to safeguard the public and plant personnel in the event of an emergency.

Inter-relationships of this plan with procedures, other plans, and emergency arrangements are summarized as follows: 2.5.1 Detailed actions to be taken by individuals in response to onsite emergency conditions at the time of an event are directed by the Emergency Plan Implementing Instructions (EPIs). These instructions provide the detailed mechanisms for response as outlined in this plan. EPIs do not cover program administration or normal activities already covered by other plant procedures.

As such, EPIs will only incorporate certain aspects of the plant's operating procedures, radiological control procedures, and security procedures, where clarification of the instructions is required.The listing of EPIs, contained in Appendix A, shall be considered implementing procedures in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.V.Any changes to these instructions shall be submitted to the NRC within 30 days of implementation.

2.5.2 The Security Plan and procedures have been coordinated with this plan to ensure that appropriate emergency actions can be taken. For example, the Security Plan and procedures contain provisions for emergency response personnel and vehicle access when required by the EPIs.2.5.3 The Plant Administrative Procedures (PAPs) and Nuclear Operation Procedures (NOP) define administrative controls such as radiological control limits and precautions, use of personnel monitoring devices, use of protective clothing and equipment, and personnel decontamination.

Chemistry instructions govern counting of samples in lab. In addition, Health Physics Instructions provide guidance for performing surveys, analyzing samples, operating/radiation protection equipment, etc. The relevant information and details provided in these documents have either been incorporated in the plan and/or implementing procedures, or have been'appropriately referenced.

2.5.4 The Emergency Public Information Organization Instructions Manual (EPIOIM) and this plan are coordinated to ensure that a mechanism is in place to provide accurate and timely information to the public via the news media. The EPIOIM provides a means for exchanging information between each participating agency's spokesperson and for rumor control during emergencies.

2-4 Rev. 37 2.5.5 The Preparedness Support Instructions (PSIs) provide administrative guidance on: (1) the conduct of emergency preparedness drills and exercises, and (2) the maintenance of emergency response facilities and equipment, and (3) the administration of the Emergency Preparedness Program. PSIs do not direct the implementation of any emergency actions in response to a classified emergency event. A listing of PSIs is provided in Appendix A.2.5.6 Other plant procedures have been developed and issued to provide further guidance in various other areas affecting this plan. A listing of such procedures is provided in Appendix A.2.5.7 The coordination and liaison with offsite organizations and agencies having radiological emergency planning responsibilities in the immediate offsite area. This includes formal agreements that individual organizations will perform their respective emergency functions in response to information or requests.

Continuing liaison with the offsite organizations ensures compatibility and proper interfacing with this plan.2.6 Participating Governmental Agencies Participating governmental agencies whose emergency plans are inter-related with this plan include the following:

SUMMARY

OF THE EMERGENCY PLAN The Emergency Plan and EPIs have been established for coping with the various types of possible emergencies in an orderly, effective manner.The Emergency Plan will be put into effect whenever a potentially hazardous situation or radiological emergency is identified.

The information contained within the Emergency Plan is sufficient to demonstrate that appropriate actions will be taken to protect plant personnel and the general public during an emergency.

The Emergency Plan establishes the concepts, evaluation, assessment criteria, and protective actions, necessary to mitigate the consequences of potential or actual emergencies.

The plan provides the necessary prearrangements, organization, and communications so that all plant emergencies may be handled effectively and efficiently resolved in order to safeguard plant personnel, property and the general public.3.1 Emergency Plan Steps In general, the Emergency Plan encompasses the following basic steps: 1. Detection of the emergency 2. Assessment of the situation 3. Classification of the emergency 4. Activation of the responding organization(s) as necessary 5. Notification of offsite response organizations

6. Initiation of protective action recommendations
7. Initiation of corrective actions 8. Aid to affected persons 9. Reentry and recovery 3.2 Emergency Organizations This Emergency Plan establishes an organization capable of responding to the complete spectrum of incidents delineated in this Emergency Plan.Provisions are made for rapid notification of appropriate portions of the response organization and for expanding the response organization if the situation dictates.3-1 Rev. 37 An individual having the authority and the responsibility to initiate any emergency actions within the provisions of this plan, including providing protective action recommendations to offsite authorities is onsite at all times. This individual is the Shift Manager, who initially assumes the position of Emergency Coordinator and remains in that position until relieved by the Operations Manager in the Technical Support Center (TSC).The Shift Engineer assists the Shift Manager in reviewing dose projections and protective action recommendations developed by a Shift Chemistry Technician.

Emergency actions are the responsibility of the operating shift staff, who are supplemented by additional pre-assigned plant staff personnel which are rapidly alerted and mobilized to augment or relieve the operating shift personnel in accordance with the implementing instructions of this plan.In addition, this plan includes offsite agencies and organizations.

Their designated response functions include implementation of offsite protective actions, transportation and treatment of personnel requiring medical treatment, control of access to the plant, fire fighting support, radiological sampling and assessment, technical consultation, and testing. The major offsite agencies and organizations include the following:

3.2.1 State

of Ohio The Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA), Department of Public Safety, is the lead planning agency for developing state nuclear incident plans for licensed nuclear facilities contiguous to and within the State. The specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to departments and agencies of the State of Ohio are specified in the State of Ohio's Plan for Response to Radiation Emergencies at Licensed Nuclear Facilities.

Coordination with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency for ingestion pathway control measures is also provided by the State of Ohio.3.2.2 Local Governments The actions of the local governments are delineated in the Local County Radiological Emergency Response Plans. The Emergency Management Agencies (EMA) for Ashtabula and Lake Counties, and Department of Emergency Service (DES) for Geauga County, are the lead planners and response agencies for each of the local counties.3.2.3 Federal Agencies 1. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Region III, Lisle, Illinois.2. U.S. Department of Energy, Chicago Operations Office, Argonne, Illinois.3. U.S. Coast Guard, Ninth Coast Guard District, Cleveland, Ohio.3-2 Rev. 37

3.3 Emergency

Classifications Emergencies are grouped into four (4) classifications listed below in order of increasing severity: 1. Unusual Event Events are in process 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.2. Alert Events are in process 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.3. Site Area Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.4. General Emergency Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.

Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.Section 4.0 contains a more detailed discussion of the classifications of emergencies.

Table 3-1 shows, in columnar form, the emergency classifications and the degree of involvement of onsite and offsite organizations.

4.0 EMERGENCY

CONDITIONS

4.1 Emergency

Classification System <S00559>The Perry Plant Emergency Plan provides for four (4) emergency classifications.

A broad spectrum of postulated emergency situations is covered in mutually exclusive groupings.

Each emergency classification invokes certain immediate actions which are explained in Section 6.0.The various classifications are arranged in a hierarchy of severity based on potential or actual hazards. Accidents may be classified in a lower category at first and then escalated to a higher classification should the situation deteriorate.

Provisions are also made for de-escalation to a lower classification in certain situations as improved conditions may justify.All emergency measures begin with the notification of the Shift Manager that a real or potential hazard exists. This is followed by assessment and evaluation by the Shift Manager, classification of the emergency, and activation of the appropriate emergency organizations.

The specific Emergency Action Levels (EALs) described in this section are not intended to be all inclusive.

The Shift Manager, while acting as Emergency Coordinator, shall declare an appropriate emergency classification whenever, in his judgment, the plant status warrants such a declaration.

Each of the four (4) emergency classifications is characterized by EALs -see Figure 4-1. These levels consist of specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) that shall be used for emergency classification.

Specific readings and/or other indications which could possibly identify an emergency initiating condition are provided in Table 4-1. The format and wording of Table 4-1 are taken directly from EPI-Al.The values shown in are those at which an event must be classified in accordance with the guidance set forth in NUMARC/NESP-007, Methodology for the Development of Emergency Action Levels (Revision 2). Reaching these values, with valid indications in short periods of time, is sufficient to declare the appropriate classification.

Some described are not, by their very nature, intended to be used during maintenance and/or testing situations.

A 15-minute goal has been established for assessing and classifying an emergency once indications are available to Control Room operators that an EAL has been exceeded.Applicable Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), Off-Normal Instructions (ONIs), and Alarm Response Instructions (ARIs) are cross referenced at various steps to alert the operator that a specific emergency action level may be or has been reached. EALs are referenced in those instructions to ensure that the emergency is properly classified for the particular plant condition.

4-1 Rev. 37 A conservative philosophy for classification is used. For example, a Site Area Emergency is declared directly if a Site Area EAL is exceeded, without other related events being previously identified and declared as an Unusual Event or an Alert.EALs are used specifically to provide an early readiness status of emergency response personnel and organizations.

The EALs have not been selected to infer any immediate need for protective actions, but rather to provide adequate time for assessment measures.

Offsite dose projections, plant status assessments, and protective action recommendations are reported to the local County officials as inputs to their decision on whether or not protective actions for the public are to be implemented.

4.1.1 Unusual

Event An Unusual Event is the least severe of the four (4) emergency classifications defined in this plan. An Unusual Event is defined as follows: Events are in process 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.The purposes for declaring an Unusual Event classification are to: 1. Ensure that the first step in any response is carried out.2. Provide current information on Unusual Events to offsite authorities.

3. Bring the operating staff to a state of readiness.
4. Provide for the systematic handling of information and decision making.An incident is classified as an Unusual Event if it is minor and no release of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring is expected with no further degradation of safety systems. Events in this classification are selected based upon a potential to degenerate to a more severe situation rather than on the likelihood that an actual public hazard exists. Local county and State of Ohio authorities are promptly notified of any Unusual Event.4.1.2 Alert An Alert is defined as follows: Events are in process 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 intentional malicious dedicated efforts of a hostile act. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.4-2 Rev. 37 As in the case of the Unusual Event, the Alert classification includes emergency situations that are expected to be minor but where it has been deemed prudent to alert the offsite emergency participants and mobilize portions of the emergency organization.

Any radioactive releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels.The purposes of declaring an Alert classification are to: 1. Ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious;2. Perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required; and 3. Provide offsite authorities with current information.

In addition, because of the nature of the Alert classification, i.e., possible releases of radioactive material, broader assessment actions shall be initiated as described in Section 6.2.2.4.1.3 Site Area Emergency The Site Area Emergency classification is defined as follows: Events are in process or have occurred which involve an actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public or security events that result in intentional damage or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) prevents effective access to equipment needed for the protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels beyond the site boundary.The purposes for declaring a Site Area Emergency are to: 1. Ensure that response centers are manned;2. Ensure that the radiation monitoring teams (RMTs) are dispatched both onsite and offsite;3. Ensure that personnel required for evacuation of offsite areas are available should the situation become more serious; and 4. Provide current information for, and consultation with, offsite authorities.

Although immediate protective actions are not automatically required, declaration of a Site Area Emergency sets into motion all personnel onsite and offsite that would be required to perform actions up to and including the evacuation of offsite areas. RMTs are required to make continuing assessments to provide officials with information to decide on protective actions. The Site Area Emergency classification includes accidents which have significant radioactive material release potential.

Details of the emergency measures that will be implemented upon declaration of a Site Area Emergency are described in Section 6.0.4-3 Rev. 37 No radioactive releases are expected to exceed the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels except within the site boundary.Accidents included in this classification have the potential for degradation to the General Emergency classification.

Although the EALs for this classification have been selected at values well below the EPA PAGs, offsite monitoring team reports and continuing assessment actions will provide information for the final decision on protective actions to be taken.4.1.4 General Emergency This is the most severe classification of emergency defined by this Emergency Plan. The General Emergency classification is defined as follows: Events are in process or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or security events that result in an actual loss of physical control of the facility.Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.The purposes for declaring a General Emergency are to: 1. Initiate predetermined protective action recommendations for the public;2. Provide continuous assessment of information from PNPP and offsite radiological monitoring groups;3. Initiate additional measures within the entire EPZ as indicated by actual or potential releases of radioactive material; and 4. Provide current information for, and consultation with, offsite authorities and the public.The EALs identified for a General Emergency indicate that time should be available to provide confirmative assessments (as detailed in the EPIs) prior to implementation of extensive protective actions for the entire EPZ. A wide range of protective actions are outlined in the EPIs including sheltering, evacuation, administering potassium iodide (KI) in accordance with the State Plan, and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness.

In addition, the EPIs provide for a default protective action recommendation (PAR) that can be issued immediately upon declaration of a General Emergency if detailed assessments are not available.

The Emergency Coordinator will recommend, as a precautionary measure the following:

evacuation for the general public within 2 miles of the plant, and in at least three downwind sectors out to 5 miles, as appropriate for Subareas 1 through 3 and Lake Erie, as identified on Figure 2-1, the administering of KI to the general public, and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness.

This protective action is consistent with the guidance outlined in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-I.

4-4 Rev. 37 Assessment actions, as described in Section 6.2 of the Emergency Plan and in the EPIs will continue to determine what additional protective actions should be recommended for the remainder of the EPZ. As described in Section 6.4, possible protective action recommendations may range from no action necessary, to the evacuation of the entire 10-mile EPZ.4.2 State and County Classification System The emergency classification scheme, as described in the preceding Section 4.1 and as set forth in NUMARC/NESP-007, have been discussed with and agreed on by the State of Ohio and local counties.

To provide guidance for public protection, the PAGs of the "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" (EPA-400-R-92-001) have also been adopted by the State of Ohio and the local Counties.Recommendations from the Perry Plant to the State of Ohio and the local Counties will be based on these same PAGs as discussed in Section 6.0 of this plan.Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)/Suggested Operating Guidelines (SOGs) for the State of Ohio and county organizations will be utilized to determine protective actions based on the Perry Plant recommendations.

Per The Ohio Plan for Response to Radiation Emergencies at Commercial Nuclear Power Plants, a Site Area Emergency has been established as the minimum classification level to initiate waterway notification in coordination with affected counties.(INTENTIONALLY BLANK)4-5 Rev. 37 FIGURE 4-1 INITIATING CONDITION INDEX PNPP No. 8851 Rev. 3/27/10 EPLAN EVENT CATEGORY UNUSUAL EVENT ALERT SITE AREA EMERGENCY GENERAL EMERGENCY Fuel clad degradation Any loss or challenge to the Fuel Clad Loss of RPV water level that has or will Loss of two barriers, AND a loss or challenge to the barrier uncover fuel. third barrier.A: FISSION PRODUCT AU1 (FPB Matrix) -AA1 AS (FPB Matrix) -AG1 B3ARRIERofbtth DEGRADATION Reactor Coolant System leakage.

5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL

CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES Emergency planning includes recognition of the capabilities of the shift staff, prompt augmentation by off-duty Perry Plant emergency response personnel, the support available from other Company personnel, and support available from local, State and Federal agencies to comprise an effective Emergency Response Organization (ERO). The initial response to an emergency will be handled by the normal shift staff which is capable of: 1. Determining that an emergency exists;2. Performing initial classification and assessment;

3. Promptly notifying other agencies and individuals;
4. Initiating actions to protect the general public.Augmentation of the shift staff will be provided by the ERO. The response organization provides additional personnel to mitigate the consequences of an emergency.

Beyond this, additional personnel may be called upon to provide specific assistance for specialized tasks. These needs will be determined by the ERO on a case by case basis.This section of the Emergency Plan addresses the emergency response assignments, authorities, and responsibilities of the normal plant organization and the emergency organization.

5.1 FirstEnergy

Organization Site Operations Department (SOD), Performance Improvement Department (PID), Site Engineering Department (SED), and Maintenance Department activities at the Perry Plant are under the control of the Vice President, Nuclear -Perry. Emergency Response Section (ERS, is under the control of the Director, PID.The Perry Plant Organization as well as the FirstEnergy Corporate Organization are discussed in Chapter 13.1 of the Perry Plant Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR).5.2 Emergency Organization

5.2.1 Shift

Staffing The plant is continuously manned with a minimum shift complement which facilitates normal plant operation as well as providing the initial response to an emergency condition as required under Table 5-1. This minimum shift crew composition for single unit operation is outlined in <NOP-OP-1002, Conduct of Operations>:

The Shift Manager is responsible for operating the plant in compliance with licensing requirements, administrative controls and operating instructions.

This includes, when warranted, approving on-shift operations that deviate from established procedures and instructions, evaluating operating experiences, and providing on-shift technical advice to the Unit Supervisors.

5-1 Rev. 37 During the initial response to an emergency, the Shift Manager assumes the position of Emergency Coordinator until properly relieved of emergency response functions by the designated Emergency Coordinator in the EOF or the TSC Operations Manager. Any individual fulfilling the position of Emergency Coordinator has the responsibility and the authority to direct any and all phases of emergency response.

The Emergency Coordinator shall not delegate the following responsibilities:

1. The decision to notify offsite authorities.
2. The decision to make protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.
3. The decision on determination of emergency classification including reclassification or termination.

The Unit Supervisor is responsible for assisting the Shift Manager on duty in operating the plant in a safe and dependable manner.This includes supervising the Reactor Operators, plant operators and attendants required to operate the unit, instructing the shift operating crew concerning temporary and permanent changes to the Perry Plant Operations Manual and assisting the Shift Manager in his administrative duties. The Unit Supervisor reports to the Shift Manager.The Shift Engineer (SE) will be on-shift reporting to the Shift Manager and available to provide technical support to the Shift Manager, including advising him on the safety status of the plant, diagnosing plant accidents and recommending actions to mitigate the consequences of accidents.

The SE will provide on shift reactor and system engineering support, if qualified.

The Reactor Operators are responsible for directing the activities of the non-licensed shift employees including plant operators, attendants, assistants, and others as may be assigned for special tasks to insure proper operation and monitoring of plant systems and equipment.

The Reactor Operators report to the Unit Supervisor.

The on-shift Security Shift Supervisor is directly responsible for the coordination of the specific functions of the plant security force as outlined in the Security Plan and EPI.5.2.2 Emergency Response Organization (ERO)In the event of an emergency, the ERO will be notified.

The assignment of responsibility in the ERO is ultimately the responsibility of the Vice President, Nuclear -Perry. However, to provide automatic, clearly defined manning of the Perry Plant Emergency Response Facilities, an ERO is pre-defined.

This includes the assignment of alternates for the major positions.

The majority of the ERO will be housed in five locations:

Control Room (CR), Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), and Joint Information Center (JIC).5-2 Rev. 37 The Control Room will continue to control the operation of the plant. During an emergency additional staff will be assigned to the Control Room to aid in mitigation of the effects of the emergency.

The TSC will provide management of onsite emergency activities.

The TSC will also be the primary communications link between the Control Room and the balance of the ERO. During emergencies when the EOF is not operational, the TSC will perform the functions of the EOF.The OSC will serve as the assembly point for Radiation Protection, Maintenance, I&C, and Operations personnel during an emergency.

The OSC will utilize the available personnel present or will call in the personnel necessary to support first aid, fire fighting, radiation monitoring, and emergency assessment and repair activities.

The EOF will provide overall management of all Company emergency activities.

The EOF will be the central point for receipt and analysis of field monitoring data and will be the primary communications contact for all offsite organizations such as the State and the local Counties.

The EOF will also provide information to the Public Information Response Team (PIRT) and the JIC for dissemination to the news media.The JIC will be the central location for dissemination of information to the general public regarding an emergency at the Perry Plant during Site Area or General Emergencies.

The JIC will provide a focal point for federal, state, local and FirstEnergy officials to coordinate emergency information received from the EOF and promptly inform the public utilizing local and national media outlets located at the JIC. Prior to the activation of the JIC, the PIRT, functioning from the TEC first floor or the EOF, will provide an interim location for the dissemination of information to the media.The functional interfaces between and among the ERO, local services support, and State and local governments are specified in the following sections.Table 5-1 depicts the functional areas of emergency response activities, the normal position title (or expertise), and the major emergency tasks to be performed including the goals for augmentation of the shift staff by the response organization as outlined by Table B-1 from NUREG-0654.

5-3 Rev. 37 Each ERO staff position described in Sections 5.2.2.2 through 5.2.2.4 will have at least three (3) individuals qualified at any one time to fill the position.1. Control Room (CR)The Shift Manager on duty assumes the position of Emergency Coordinator when an emergency occurs and is in command of the ERO until relieved by the TSC Operations Manager.

a. The decision to notify offsite authorities.
b. The decision to make protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.
c. The decision on determination of emergency classification including reclassification or termination.

In the event the Shift Manager is incapacitated, his duties and responsibilities will be assumed by the Unit Supervisor until such time as a relief Shift Manager is available.

The duties of the Shift Manager in an emergency include the following:

a. Maintaining the plant in a condition that minimizes the danger to the general public.b. Verifying the existence and initial classification of an emergency condition.
c. Notifying plant personnel and offsite support groups, as required.d. Activating the first aid and fire brigade teams, and directing their response.e. Controlling access of personnel to the Control Room.f. Initiating protective measures, as required.The Shift Engineer (SE) provides an independent assessment of plant conditions and technical advice to the Shift Manager. The SE will also review initial offsite dose assessment activities and protective action recommendations generated by an on-shift Chemistry Technician.

Prior to the TSC becoming operational, the SE will provide technical information to the on-call Media Relations Representative or Information Liaison as time and plant conditions allow.5-4 Rev. 37 The on-shift Chemistry Technician will perform initial offsite dose assessment activities and development of protective action recommendations, until'such time as the Radiation Protection Coordinator at the TSC assumes this responsibility.

The on-shift Instrument and Control (I&C) Technician will report to the Control Room, when requested, to act as communicator for the Shift Manager. A second communicator-qualified I&C Technician may be used; or another communicator trained individual designated by the Shift Manager.2. Operations Support Center (OSC)During an emergency, the OSC serves as an assembly area for Radiation Protection Section, Radwaste, Chemistry and Environmental Section, Perry Maintenance Department, and Perry Operations Section personnel.

The OSC Coordinator directs the assembly and dispatching of repair and assessment teams, as well as Radiation Protection and Chemistry personnel from the OSC to support emergency operations.

If required, the Shift Manager can assign an interim OSC Coordinator from the personnel present in the facility until the designated OSC Coordinator arrives to aid in the timely activation of this facility.The following plant supervisory positions have also been identified as part of OSC staffing to assist the OSC Coordinator in directing facility operations: " Mechanical Supervisor,* Electrical Supervisor,* Instrument and Control Supervisor,* Radiation Protection Supervisor," Chemistry Supervisor.

Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs) are composed of two members each -an RMT Leader and Helper. The RMT Leader will be trained to perform plume monitoring and sample collection, and to oversee contamination control measures.

The RMT Helper will be primarily responsible for driving the RMT vehicle, team communications, and to assist in sample collection and recordkeeping.

The number of teams responding is dependent on the emergency classification.

For an Alert, two (2) RMTs will respond to perform monitoring; for a Site Area or General Emergency, three (3) teams will respond. Additional teams may be organized as the situation warrants.

Radio-equipped, four-wheel drive vehicles will be obtained from ERS for RMT use.RMTs are equipped to perform direct radiation measurements, airborne radioactivity sampling (capable of measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1.OE-7 uCi/cc) , and environmental sample collection.

5-12 Rev. 37 The Media Relations Supervisor is responsible for supervising all activities in the media work areas; ensuring that all reporters are cognizant of scheduled and unscheduled briefing;acting as a resource for general information; scheduling interviews; assisting the media as required; and reporting to the JIC Manager any media inquiries, problems, trends, etc., for discussion/action.

The Support Services Supervisor is responsible for setting up the JIC at the direction of the JIC Manager; obtaining support services for the JIC staff; providing and supervising the administrative and clerical personnel and equipment operators; arranging delivery of necessary equipment and supplies and repair services to support JIC operation, and arranging for transportation, food, lodging, etc., for an extended period of time.6. Public Information Response Team (PIRT)Regardless of whether the Perry Plant Emergency Plan has been entered, the PIRT may be activated to handle increased media interest which may not warrant JIC activation.

The decision to activate the PIRT is based on the discretion of the Control Room Shift Manager and the on-call Media Relations Representative.

A detailed discussion of PIRT staffing and duties is contained in the EPIOIM.The PIRT will be activated for an Alert or for events with higher emergency classifications.

While located in the TEC, the PIRT will operate independently and will be de-activated once the JIC is operational.

For a security or other event where the site is inaccessible, the JIC will activate instead of the PIRT.5.2.3 Activation and Staffing The activation and staffing of the Perry Plant Emergency Response Facilities consists of three time periods: initial, interim and final. The initial phase consists of shift staff personnel and is the lowest stage of activation, whereas the final phase consists of the full activation and manning of the CR, TSC, OSC, EOF, and the JIC. The interim phase is applicable only when the TSC is fully activated before the EOF is activated, or if activation of the EOF is not deemed necessary.

The initial phase will be implemented upon the declaration of an Unusual Event or higher level emergency.

During this phase, various shift personnel support the emergency condition, with the Control Room as the command center and the Shift Manager as the acting Emergency Coordinator.

5-13 Rev. 37 The interim phase will be implemented upon the declaration of an Alert or higher level emergency.

During this phase, shift and various designated personnel support the emergency condition with the TSC as the command center and the Operations Manager as the acting Emergency Coordinator.

Figure 5-1 illustrates the Perry Plant ERO during the interim phase.The final phase, illustrated in Figure 5-1, will be implemented upon the declaration of a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency.

During this phase, the emergency condition will be supported by full activation of all the emergency response facilities, with the EOF as the command center under the direction of the Emergency Coordinator.

Staff arrival goals for designated on-call ERO positions as listed (as shown on Table 5-1) are 30 minutes for the TSC and OSC, and 60 minutes for the EOF. The goals are based on a normal response to the plant from an individual's home residence and does not take into account adverse weather conditions or factors which may delay one's arrival during a late evening response.Fifteen minutes from the time of event classification or reclassification is allocated to successfully complete notification to on-call ERO responders.

The TSC, OSC, and EOF are then expected to be fully functional within 15 minutes of the arrival of their respective staffs. This policy establishes overall goals of 60 minutes for the TSC and OSC, and 90 minutes for the EOF. The actual time required to staff and activate a facility may exceed its established goal depending on circumstances experienced at the time of the event which affect an individual's response.

Additional time may, therefore, need to be allotted to account for these circumstances.

Notification of the Perry Plant ERO is performed by the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) Operator, who is a member of the Security force continuously manning the SAS in the Control Room. A pre-designated on-call individual can be used as an alternate to notify the ERO if the SAS operator is engaged in a security response that precludes diverting attention to notify the ERO.Direction and control of the ERO will vary depending on the emergency classification and the degree of activation.

During an Unusual Event or initial phase, the Shift Manager will assume the position of Emergency Coordinator and will continue in that position until properly relieved by the Operations Manager or his designated alternate.

The Emergency Coordinator has the authority and the responsibility to direct any and all emergency response activities as necessary for any emergency condition.

The following specific responsibilities shall not be delegated by the Emergency Coordinator:

1. The decision to notify offsite authorities.
2. The decision to make protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.

5-14 Rev. 37

3. The decision on determination of emergency classification including reclassification or termination.

During an Alert or the interim phase, the TSC Operations Manager upon arrival, will be briefed by the Shift Manager and will relieve the Shift Manager as the acting Emergency Coordinator once the TSC is operational.

When a Site Area or General Emergency has been declared, EOF Emergency Coordinator upon arrival will be briefed by the TSC Operations Manager and assume the position of Emergency Coordinator once the EOF is operational.

In the final phase or full activation, the TSC Operations Manager will maintain control of onsite activities under the direction of the EOF Emergency Coordinator.

Plant operations under all phases are conducted by the normal shift staff. Once the TSC is operational during the interim or final phases, the TSC Operations Advisor will provide interface between the Control Room and the TSC under the direction of the TSC Operations Manager.An Accident Management Team (AMT) will be mobilized in the TSC under the TSC Operations Advisor to assist in evaluating severe accident mitigation strategies per the TSG. The ERO will provide the organizational structure and logistical support for the implementation of SAGs. Designated AMT personnel, who are not assigned specific ERO duties per Section 5.2.2, will be contacted as part of the TSC activation process. AMT personnel may be used prior to the implementation of SAGs to support designated TSC staff in the operational and technical assessment of an event classified in accordance with Section 4.0.A communicator in the Control Room provides continuing communications with offsite agencies.

When the TSC becomes operational or during the interim phase, at least one communicator in the TSC will relieve the Control Room Communicator of the responsibility for maintaining communications with offsite agencies.During the final phase or full activation, at least two communicators stationed at the EOF will relieve the TSC communicators of the responsibility for maintaining communications with offsite agencies.Offsite dose assessment during the initial phase is the responsibility of an on-shift Chemistry Technician with the Unit Supervisor directing operational radiological activities.

Protective action recommendations and their basis will be reviewed by the Shift Engineer (SE) and then referred to the Shift Manager for approval.

During the interim phase, the TSC Radiation Protection Coordinator will relieve the on-shift Chemistry Technician of offsite dose assessment responsibilities and the Unit Supervisor of radiological support responsibilities.

Upon activation of the EOF during the final phase, the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor will control offsite dose assessment with the EOF Operations Advisor assisting.

5-15 Rev. 37 Radiological assessment, if required during the initial phase, will consist of Radiation Protection (RP) personnel either on-shift or called in support of the Control Room, under the direction of the Unit Supervisor.

During the interim phase, two (2) RMTs will assemble and will be under the direction of the TSC Radiation Protection Coordinator.

During the final phase, an additional RMT will assemble bringing the total to three (3) RMTs under the direction of the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor.All in-plant radiological surveys and chemistry/radio-chemistry activities during all phases of an emergency will be conducted by shift Radiation Protection Technician and Chemistry Technician(s), augmented as necessary by additional personnel, under the direction of the TSC Radiation Protection Coordinator.

Technical support during the initial phase will be provided by the SE in the Control Room. During the interim or final phases, the SE will be relieved by the TSC Plant Technical Engineer.Engineering support is not specifically assigned during the initial phase, but will be designated for the following specialty areas during the interim and final phases, under the direction of the TSC Plant Technical Engineer.Core/Thermal Hydraulics

-Reactor Engineer Electrical

-Electrical Engineer Mechanical

-Mechanical Engineer Repair and corrective actions during the initial phase of an emergency will be assigned to designated shift personnel as follows: Mechanical/Electrical Maintenance

-Plant Operator (collateral duty), Instrumentation and Controls -I&C Technician During interim and final phases, repair and corrective actions will be managed by the OSC Coordinator, under the direction of the Shift Manager or TSC Maintenance Coordinator (once the TSC is operational), with the following designated personnel in specialty areas utilized at the OSC Coordinator's discretion:

Mechanical Maintenance

-Maintenance Supervisor (Mechanical)

Electrical Maintenance

-Maintenance Supervisor (Electrical)

Instrument and Controls -I&C Supervisor Radiation Protection Control -Radiation Protection (RP)Supervisor Chemistry Analysis -Chemistry Supervisor/Specialist Radwaste Operations during all emergency phases will be controlled by the shift Radwaste Supervising Operator stationed in the Radwaste Control Room, under the direction of the Shift Manager. During the interim and final phases, the TSC Operations Advisor will assist the Shift Manager in coordinating radwaste activities.

Rev. 37 Radiation Protection activities during the initial phase is the responsibility of the shift RP Supervisor or On-Shift Radiation Protection Technician.

Radiation Protection staffing will be augmented per Table 5-1 to support interim and final phase emergency response activities.

Fire-fighting response will be provided by shift personnel in accordance with PAP-1910 and the Pre-Fire Plan Instruction (FPIs).Security personnel, trained in The American National Red Cross, The American Heart Association or equivalent first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are available onsite on a 24-hour basis to provide immediate assistance at the scene of an accident per EPI-B4. In addition, a dispensary is located onsite for treatment of routine medical emergencies.

For injuries inside the RRA, an on-shift RP technician will respond to the accident scene to assist.Agreements have been entered with Perry Township Joint Fire District and Lake Hospital System for the support of onsite fire-fighting, and the transportation and treatment of injuries per Section 5.3.The Emergency Response Section (ERS) maintains current copies of the letters of agreement.

A complete list of the letters of agreement is contained in Appendix B.Security during all phases of an emergency is covered by the Security Plan, and personnel accountability is conducted in accordance with EPI-B5.The EOF Manager will assume responsibility for required resources (food/lodging, additional personnel, payment/disbursements) during the full activation of the Perry Plant Emergency Response Facilities.

During the initial and interim phases of an emergency, plant status and information are conveyed to the media and general public either by an on-call Media Relations Representative directly or through the activation of the PIRT. When informed that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regional Site Team is being dispatched to the plant the EOF and the JIC will be activated.

The PIRT will transfer duties to the JIC upon the notification that a NRC site Team is being dispatched to the plant. In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency (final phase), or if media interest warrants, the JIC will be activated.

All official information dissemination to the media will occur at the JIC.Once the JIC is operational, the Technical Spokesperson is the designated FirstEnergy spokesperson for the emergency situation.

Arrangements have been made with the three local counties, State of Ohio, FEMA, and NRC designated spokespersons (Public Information Officers) to utilize the JIC, maintain a timely exchange of information, and provide for rumor control.5-17 Rev. 37 Upon the declaration of an Alert or higher classification, the State of Ohio and local counties may dispatch representatives to the Perry Plant, and JIC if activated.

Upon notification of the pending arrival of the State representatives, the TSC Regulatory Affairs Coordinator will either contact a second individual or relocate to the EOF and act as an interface between government officials or representatives in the EOF and the Perry Plant ERO. Once the EOF is activated, the TSC Regulatory Affairs Coordinator will relocate to the EOF to assist in communications between the NRC, State of Ohio, and local counties.To ensure an effective interface with the State to Ohio, a FirstEnergy Liaison will be dispatched to the State EOC at a Site Area Emergency or when requested by the OEMA. Representatives from the ERS may also respond to the local county EOCs upon their activation or at the request of the EMA Director.

The TSC/EOF Regulatory Affairs Coordinator(s) will serve as the EOC's point of contact with the Perry Plant ERO. However, the primary communications link between the Perry Plant and State and local county EROs will remain the Emergency Response Network ("5-way")telephone circuit discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.5.3 Local Services Support The nature of an emergency may require utilizing assistance furnished by local personnel, organizations, or agencies.

Since it is necessary that support from the local law enforcement agencies, fire department, hospitals, and ambulance services be available on short notice, letters of agreement have been signed with those personnel, organizations, and agencies which may be expected to provide assistance and are contained in Appendix B.5.3.1 Fire Fighting The Perry Township Joint Fire District (PTJFD) provides fire fighting assistance to supplement onsite fire fighting efforts.5.3.2 Law Enforcement The Lake County Sheriff's Office is the lead offsite agency for law enforcement at the Perry Plant. The letter of agreement with the Lake County Sheriff's Office is referenced in and reviewed in accordance with the Perry Plant Security Plan.5.3.3 Medical Treatment and Support Arrangements have been made to ensure that proper medical services and support are provided for the handling and treatment of injured individuals, including those involving radiological contamination, a significant over-exposure to radiation, or ingestion of radioactive materials.

5-18 Rev. 37 On-shift first aid response capabilities and site medical facilities are described in Sections 5.2.3 and 7.6.1. Emergency Transportation Ambulance services for the transportation of injured individuals from the Perry Plant to an offsite hospital for definitive medical treatment, including radiologically contaminated injuries, is provided by Perry Township Joint Fire District (PTJFD). Other local fire departments have established mutual aid agreements with PTJFD to provide backup or alternate fire and ambulance support for these responsibilities.

A letter of agreement with the Perry Township Joint Fire District is referenced in Appendix B and maintained current by the Emergency Response Section (ERS).Members of the PTJFD and other mutual aid departments are trained in methods for the proper handling of radiologically contaminated individuals per Table 8-1.In the event that offsite medical assistance is required in support of a medical emergency, the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) Operator, located in the Control Room, will contact the Lake County "911" Central Dispatch via telephone.

It is the responsibility of the "911" Dispatcher to notify PTJFD or an alternate mutual aid fire department.

Injured personnel, who are known or suspected to be radiologically contaminated, will be accompanied by a supervisor or technician from Radiation Protection Section (RPS) .If during the same incident, more than one victim is involved, the first victim will be accompanied by a member of the RPS who will remain at the offsite hospital and coordinate monitoring and contamination control measures for other victims as they arrive.Transportation of non-radiologically contaminated injuries, requiring advanced trauma or medical care, is also available through Metro General Hospital's "Life Flight" service. A letter of agreement with Metro General Hospital is referenced in Appendix B and maintained current by the Emergency Response Section (ERS).2. Offsite Medical Facilities

6.0 EMERGENCY

MEASURES This section identifies the specific measures to be taken for each class of emergency defined in Section 4.0 of this plan. The logic presented in this section is used as the basis for detailed EPIs which define the emergency actions to be taken for each emergency classification.

Emergency measures begin with the following:

1. The recognition and declaration of an emergency classification.
2. Notification of the applicable agencies.3. Mobilization of the appropriate portions of the emergency organization.

The additional measures are organized into the following categories:

1. Assessment Actions.2. Corrective Actions.3. Protective Actions.4. Aid to Affected Personnel.

These measures are described in the sections below for each emergency classification.

Figure 6-1 indicates the individuals and organizations which may be notified as required within each emergency classification.

6.1 Activation

of Emergency Organizations When it becomes apparent that a predetermined value or condition specified as an EAL in EPI-Al may be met or exceeded, implementation of the provisions of this plan is required.The Perry Plant EALs for each emergency classification are defined in Section 4.0. The Shift Manager, in implementing this plan, initially classifies the emergency and notifies the local counties, the State of Ohio, the NRC, and the Perry Plant ERO.The Perry Plant, in conjunction with the State of Ohio, Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake County EMAs, has established initial notification and follow-up emergency messages to be sent from the plant in the event that an emergency condition is declared.The initial notification will be sent to the OEMA and local counties within fifteen (15) minutes of the declaration of an emergency condition at the Perry Plant or upon the decision to issue or revise an offsite protective action recommendation (PAR) for the general public, using the Initial Notification form contained in the <EPI-Bl>.

The Initial Notification Form includes information about the class of emergency, a brief description of the cause of the emergency, whether a release is taking or has taken place, potentially affected population and areas, and protective measures that may be necessary.

6-1 Rev. 37 The Perry Plant will send a follow-up message to the OEMA and the local counties no later than one hour after the declaration or reclassification of an emergency event to keep the responsible agencies/organizations informed of the emergency condition.

Subsequent follow-up messages will be sent on approximately an hourly basis, unless an alternative is agreed upon at the time by all parties concerned.

Follow-up messages will utilize the Follow-up Notification form, also provided in EPI-BI, and will contain the following information if it is known and appropriate:

1. Location of incident, and name and telephone number of caller.2. Date/Time of incident.3. Class of emergency.
4. Type of actual or projected abnormal release (airborne or liquid)and estimated duration/impact times.5. Estimate of quantity of radioactive material released or being released and the points of releases.6. Meteorological conditions wind speed, direction (from), stability class, precipitation, if any.7. Actual or projected dose rates and integrated dose at the projected peak and at the Site Boundary 2, 5 and 10 miles, including sector(s)affected.8. Estimate of any abnormal surface radioactive contamination in plant, onsite or offsite.9. Perry Plant emergency response actions underway.10. Recommended public protective actions.11. Request for onsite support by offsite organizations.
12. Prognosis for event based on plant information.

If notifications are made using other than dedicated telephone lines, a separate verification response will be made by the notified persons/agency to the notifier to verify authenticity.

6.1.1 Shift

Manager/Unit Supervisor/Reactor Operator(s)

If emergency conditions (real or potential) arise, the Reactor Operator(s) and/or the Unit Supervisor will be initially made aware of the situation by alarms, instrument readings, reports, etc. The Reactor Operator(s) shall ensure that the Unit Supervisor and the Shift Manager are immediately informed of the situation.

6-2 Rev. 37 The Shift Manager, when informed of an emergency situation, is responsible for the assessment of the emergency in the following manner: 1. Determine the immediate actions that must be taken to ensure the safe and proper operation of the plant. The Shift Engineer is available to assist the Shift Manager on matters pertaining to nuclear safety.2. If the situation requires implementation of the Perry Plant Emergency Plan, the Shift Manager shall classify the emergency and implement the appropriate event EPI which will direct the following:

a. Ensure that the appropriate alarm, and the Exclusion Area Paging system if required, are sounded.b. Announce the location, type and classification of the emergency on the plant public address system.c. Ensure the following agencies and organizations are notified of the emergency conditions as shown on Figure 6-1.1) Perry Plant ERO via the SAS Operator.2) Lake County, Ashtabula County, Geauga County, and State of Ohio. These notifications are to be made within fifteen (15) minutes of the declaration or reclassification of the emergency condition or upon the decision to issue or revise an offsite protective action recommendation (PAR) for the general public, using the Initial Notification form contained in the<EPI-BI>.3) NRC Headquarters Operations Center, White Flint, Maryland.

This notification is to be made as soon as possible upon completion of the notifications to the State of Ohio, and the local counties, but must be made within one (1) hour of the declaration or reclassification of an emergency.

3. Due to the numerous responsibilities assigned to the Shift Manager at the onset of an emergency, he shall perform the following actions in the priority listed below: a. Ensure the safe operation of the plant.b. Ensure that immediate notification requirements are met.c. Make appropriate protective action recommendations to offsite authorities.
d. Dispatch, in the event of radiological emergencies, Radiation Protection personnel to locations onsite.6-3 Rev. 37
e. Perform additional emergency actions as time and conditions permit.6.1.2 Local Counties Upon receipt of notification from the Perry Plant, each of the three county Sheriff's Dispatchers will initiate their notification procedures.

The Counties will notify their response personnel based on the classification of the emergency.

The County Commissioners and the EMA/DES Directors for each county will be notified by the Sheriff's Dispatchers, who begin the notifications.

The EOCs will complete these notifications.

The notifications by the counties of their response agencies will be by radio and/or telephone depending on each agency's communications capabilities.

Further detail regarding these notifications is contained in each local County Radiological Emergency Response Plan.The local counties will also notify the general public as required by their respective response plans. The primary means of public notification is through the use of the Prompt Alert Siren System, discussed in Section 7.4. These sirens alert the public to turn to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) for further information.

It is expected that this method will notify essentially 100 percent of the population within 10 miles of the Perry Plant within 15 minutes after the decision is made to implement a protective action by the appropriate government officials.

Boaters on Lake Erie will be notified by either the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in accordance with the appropriate State and local county response plans.Information available to the general public, which describes actions to be taken in the event of an emergency at the Perry Plant, is discussed in Section 8.6.6.1.3 State of Ohio Upon receipt of notification of an emergency at the Perry Plant, the OEMA will notify the appropriate officials and agencies in the State of Ohio, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the Province of Ontario, as well as other organizations as described in the State Emergency Plan. The State of Ohio will also notify the USCG of an emergency at the Perry Plant involving USCG territorial jurisdiction.

6.1.4 Federal

Agencies Upon receipt of notification of an emergency at the Perry Plant, the NRC will notify other federal agencies when and if deemed appropriate.

Federal agencies may also be contacted by their state counterparts should it become necessary.

6-4 Rev. 37 If it becomes necessary for the Perry Plant to request federal assistance, the Emergency Coordinator will make this request.6.2 Assessment Actions Effective coordination and direction of all elements of the emergency organization requires continuing accident assessment throughout an emergency situation.

Each emergency class shall invoke similar assessment methods; however, each classification imposes a different magnitude of assessment effort. In the following sections, assessment actions to be taken for each emergency classification are outlined.During an emergency, conditions will be periodically evaluated to determine if the emergency should be reclassified.

6.2.1 Assessment

Actions for Unusual Events The detection of an Unusual Event arises from either exceeding a specific emergency action level for this case, or as a result of alarms, instrument readings, recognition through experience, or any combination thereof. The continuing assessment action to be performed for this classification of emergency shall be in accordance with the EPIs. This consists of monitoring Control Room and other plant instrumentation and status indication until the situation is resolved.

The Shift Engineer assists the Shift Manager by providing independent assessments and technical advice. If a fire is the reason for the declaration of an Unusual Event, the Shift Manager will direct the SAS to request offsite fire fighting support.6.2.2 Assessment Actions for Alerts Once an accident has been classified as an Alert, assessment actions shall be performed in accordance with the EPIs for an Alert. These actions include: 1. Increased surveillance of in-plant instrumentation.

2. If possible, the dispatching of shift personnel to the identified problem area for confirmation and visual assessment of the problem.3. The mobilization of two RMTs to monitor for possible releases.4. If a radiological accident is occurring, surveillance of the in-plant instrumentation necessary to obtain meteorological and radiological data required for calculation or estimating projected doses. This dose assessment activity continues until termination of the emergency in order that the updating of initial assessments may be provided to all concerned offsite agencies by the acting Emergency Coordinator.

EPIs are provided to allow a rapid, consistent projection of doses.6-5 Rev. 37

6.2.3 Assessment

Actions for Site Area Emergencies The assessment actions for the Site Area Emergency classification are similar to the actions for an Alert; however, due to the increased magnitude of the possible release of radioactive material, a significantly larger assessment activity shall occur.Specifically:

1. An increased amount of plant instrumentation shall be monitored.

In particular, indications of core status shall be monitored.

2. Radiological monitoring efforts shall be greatly increased.

An additional RMT shall be mobilized to obtain air samples and perform beta-gamma field measurements.

The collection of environmental media for assessment of material, transport and deposition shall be performed, as necessary, by qualified FirstEnergy personnel.

3. Dose assessment activities shall be conducted more frequently, with an increased emphasis on dose projection for use as a factor in determining the necessity for protective actions.Radiological and meteorological instrumentation readings shall be used to project the dose rate at predetermined distances from the plant, and to determine the integrated dose received.

In reporting the dose projections to offsite agencies, the dose rate, dose, and basis for the time used for the dose estimate should be provided.

Any confirmation of dose rates by RMTs shall be reflected in reporting and/or revising dose estimate information provided to offsite agencies.Dose projections shall be considered by plant personnel in relation to the EPA PAGs. Reporting of assessments to offsite authorities shall include the relationship of dose to these guidelines.

EPIs are provided for recording all pertinent information.

6.2.4 Assessment

Actions for General Emergencies Assessment actions for the General Emergency classification are to be the same as for the Site Area Emergency with some possible shift of emphasis to greater offsite monitoring efforts and dose projection efforts extending to distances much further from the plant. Additionally, since the projected doses are likely to be much closer to the EPA PAGs, greater emphasis is placed on the assessment of release duration.6.2.5 State and County Accident Assessment The OEMA may send field monitoring teams, equipped with all necessary field monitoring equipment, to the local area upon declaration of an Alert. Upon arrival, teams will report to a staging area designated by OEMA. Monitoring teams will then be deployed to designated field monitor locations.

Additionally, Lake County Health District deploys two field monitoring teams; these 6-6 Rev. 37 teams are utilized until the OEMA teams arrive and also supplement the State teams. The Lake County teams are equipped to perform plume monitoring, including air sampling.State FMT's will report readings to the State FMT coordinator who will relay the readings to Lake County EMA and State EOC. The State EOC will relay the readings to the EOF. The readings from the Lake County teams are reported to the Lake County EOC, which relays this data to the State EOC and EOF.Based on OEMA and Lake County monitoring as well as data from the Perry Plant, the State EOC will assess the hazard consequences of the radiological releases from the Perry Plant. This assessment will guide the decision making group at the Ohio EOC on the protective actions to be recommended to the local Counties.6.3 Onsite Personnel Accountability In the event of a Site Area or General Emergency, or in the judgment of the acting Emergency Coordinator based on emergency conditions, site personnel will be instructed to begin personnel accountability.

This notification will be performed essentially immediately using the Plant Public Address (PA) System and Exclusion Area Paging System as described in Section 7.2.1.2. To accomplish personnel accountability within 30 minutes, all personnel without an emergency response function will be directed to exit the site areas via normal exit routes and exit procedures.

For the Protected Area, a list will be provided by the Fire/Security Computer System of the personnel remaining within the area. This list will be compared to lists of personnel within emergency facilities to ascertain the names of missing individuals.

If personnel are missing, security will begin searching at the individuals last known location.Outside the Protected Area, personnel will be directed to exit the site by means of the Plant PA System and Exclusion Area Paging System.Security will then perform a sweep of controlled areas to locate any individuals who have not yet evacuated.

Personnel accountability will be performed concurrently with the evacuation of personnel from the Perry Plant site. Monitoring of plant personnel exiting the Protected Area will be accomplished at the Primary Access Control Point, and appropriate decontamination measures implemented as needed per Section 6.5.If a significant release of radioactive materials occurs onsite, personnel evacuating the Perry Plant site may be directed to monitoring and decontamination centers located outside the 10-mile EPZ. These centers are activated and staffed in accordance with their respective county response plans. Figure 6-2 illustrates the location of these centers in relation to the Perry Plant. Specific directions to the centers are contained in EPI-B5, posted in specific site locations, and provided as part of Plant Access Training (PAT).6-7 Rev. 37

6.4 Offsite

Protective Actions A wide range of protective actions for the public have been developed including evacuation, sheltering, administering of potassium iodide (KI)and placing the EPZ on heightened awareness.

Possible protective action recommendations made by the Perry Plant may range from no action necessary, to the evacuation of the entire 10-mile EPZ. The appropriate protective action recommendation (PAR) is determined using a decision flowchart per <EPI-B8>.

The flowchart provides protective actions based on plant status, EPA protective action guidelines (PAGs), and short duration, controlled releases as described below.6.4.1 Protective Action Based on Plant Status In addition to the PAGs established by the EPA, the following plant status PAGs have been established.

These PAGs are based on the potential for major radioactive material releases from the Perry Plant rather than the projected dose approach used by the EPA's PAGs per the guidance set forth in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP.

Implicit in these recommendations is that assessment activities will continue to determine what additional protective actions should be recommended for the entire EPZ.The minimum plant status PAGs, as applicable, for Subareas 1 through 3 and Lake Erie (as identified on Figure 2-1), are as follows: WIND DIRECTION

-"FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees)102 to 213 EVACUATE 1 & Lake*214 to 281 EVACUATE 1, 2 & Lake*282 to 11 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3 & Lake*12 to 101 EVACUATE 1, 3 & Lake** Lake evacuated to 10 miles.Administering KI to the general public and placing the remainder of the EPZ on heightened awareness will also be recommended.

These protective action recommendations assume that conditions listed in Table 4-1 for a General Emergency have been met or exceeded.6-8 Rev. 37 The following table summarizes these additional protective actions above the minimum plant status PAGs, which may be recommended based on a projected or actual dose of 1 rem TEDE or 5 rem CDEct from 5 to 10 miles: WIND DIRECTION

-"FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees)102 to 213 EVACUATE 1 & Lake*214 to 258 EVACUATE 1, 2, 4 & Lake*259 to 281 EVACUATE 1, 2, 4, 5 & Lake*282 to 303 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & Lake*304 to 326 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & Lake*327 to 348 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 & Lake*349 to 11 EVACUATE 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 & Lake*12 to 56 EVACUATE 1, 3, 6, 7 & Lake*57 to 101 EVACUATE 1, 3, 7 & Lake*Lake Evacuated to 10 miles.Administering KI to the general public and placing the remainder of the EPZ on heightened awareness will also be recommended.

Recommended protective actions may be extended or modified depending on population distribution, meteorological conditions, and condition of roads and major traffic ways, following discussions with County and State officials.

6.4.2 Protective

Actions based on a Short Duration, Controlled Release A protective action of sheltering will be recommended during a General Emergency for a short duration, controlled release of radioactive material from containment.

The following conditions will result in the recommendation to shelter a 2 mile radius and 5 miles downwind, administer KI to the general public, place the general public on heightened awaredness of the remainder of the EPZ and evacuate Lake Erie to 10 miles: 1. A controlled release from containment will last less than one or equal to one hour, AND 2. Evacuation has not been initiated; AND 3. The time until the release begins is less than % the fastest evacuation time according to the latest Evacuation Time Estimated study; AND 4. Dose projections at the site boundary are greater than or equal to 1 Rem TEDE or greater than or equal to 5 Rem child thyroid.6-9 Rev. 37 The following table summarizes these protective actions in terms of subareas: WIND DIRECTION

-"FROM" AFFECTED SUBAREAS (in degrees)102 to 213 SHELTER 1 & EVACUATE Lake*214 to 281 SHELTER 1, 2 & EVACUATE Lake*282 to 11 SHELTER 1, 2, 3 & EVACUATE Lake*12 to 101 SHELTER 1, 3 & EVACUATE Lake*Lake evacuated to 10 miles.6.4.3 Accident Assessment and Decision-Making The responsibility for actions to protect persons in offsite areas rests with the State of Ohio and the local government officials.

The chain of events which precede protective actions for the general public are described here and illustrated in Figure 6-3.Information is gathered by the EOF Operations Advisor and the EOF Offsite Radiation Advisor to begin formulating PARs. The Plant uses the Integrated Computer System (ICS), described in Section 7.5.1 to obtain information concerning the status of plant systems and to estimate the duration of any release of radioactive material.

The EOF Operations Advisor can also contact the TSC to obtain further assistance and assessment information.

This estimate of release duration is then provided to the Offsite Radiation Advisor for use in dose projection calculations.

The Offsite Radiation Advisor will be simultaneously using the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS)software program, described in Section 7.5.10, to obtain information concerning the present meteorological conditions, release rates from the effluent monitors, and other applicable data source to perform offsite dose projections.

In addition, the Offsite Radiation Advisor will utilize the field information obtained by the RMTs to verify an estimated offsite dose or dose rate projections which may have been made.In the event that MIDAS is unavailable, the Offsite Radiation Advisor can obtain meteorological and release information directly from the ICS or locally at the on-site meteorological tower. The Offsite Radiation Advisor will also have a manual method for performing dose projections.

This manual method, described in Section 7.5.10.2, provides several levels of assumptions for available data and allows projections to be performed with minimal information if necessary.

Evacuation time estimates (ETE) for areas near the Perry Plant have been generated and are contained in PSI-0013, "Control and Revision of the Evacuation Time Estimates for Areas Near the Perry Plant." The ETE was developed in accordance with Appendix 4 of NUREG-0654 and provides evacuation estimates for various areas, times, and weather conditions.

These estimates represent the times required for completing the following actions: 1. public notification, 6-10 Rev. 37

2. preparation and mobilization, and 3. actual movement out of the 10-mile EPZ (i.e., on-road travel time including delays associated with vehicle queuing).Using the offsite dose projection, the evacuation time estimates, representative shielding factors, known or estimated isotopic compositions and projected exposure periods, the Offsite Radiation Advisor will determine an estimated dose for both Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) -child thyroid exposures.

These doses will then be compared to the EPA-400 protective action guidelines (PAGs) to arrive at a PAR. All recommendations will then be reviewed and approved by the Emergency Coordinator.

The recommendation will be transmitted to the EMAs in each of the local Counties and State via the dedicated telephone System.In the event that immediate offsite dose projections are required, they can be performed by the on-shift chemistry technician(s).

During this initial phase, the Shift Manager, in his capacity of Emergency Coordinator, will evaluate the available information and recommend appropriate protective actions to the offsite agencies in accordance with Section 6.4.In parallel with the activities at the Perry Plant, the State of Ohio will also develop PARs. The OEMA and Department of Health will establish a Radiological Assessment Team at the State EOC to develop a recommendation.

The State will deploy field monitoring teams to the vicinity of the Perry Plant to collect field monitoring data and will use a computerized link to the Perry Plant to obtain site meteorological and release data. Should this data link be unavailable, the State can also obtain meteorological and release information directly from the Perry Plant via the dedicated communications line.The State Radiological Assessment Team will develop a protective action recommendation using meteorological and release information similar to that used by the Offsite Radiation Advisor. The State PAR will be reviewed and approved by the Office of the Governor per the State's response plan prior to being transmitted to the three counties for consideration.

In accordance with the emergency plans for each of the three counties, their respective county EROs will receive the recommendations from the Perry Plant and the State of Ohio. The County EOC Executive Groups will coordinate with one another via a telephone conference network and make a final decision on protective actions to be implemented for the general public. Lake County will develop the appropriate Emergency Alert System (EAS) message and will coordinate the transmission and broadcasting of the appropriate message over EAS.6-11 Rev. 37 While the EAS message is being sent, Lake County will activate the Prompt Alerting System for the entire EPZ. This activation of the Prompt Alerting System is a signal to the public that an important message is being broadcast by EAS. By procedure, the County EOCs will implement the Radiological Emergency Response Plans and applicable SOPs/SOGs to carry out the agreed upon protective actions.In the event of a rapidly escalating emergency, the county plans and procedures direct the dispatcher to attempt to contact a higher authority to make the protective action decision.

If a higher authority cannot be contacted, the dispatcher has the authority and responsibility to activate the Prompt Alerting System and to place a message on EAS implementing a protective action recommendation.

Detailed discussions of the specific actions to be taken by the State and local county agencies are contained in the respective county Radiological Emergency Response Plans and the corresponding SOPs/SOGs.

6.4.4 Ingestion

Pathway Control Measures Provisions are made for implementing protective measures against excessive radiation exposure within the 10-mile EPZ due to direct radiation exposure and inhalation of radioactive material from the plume, in addition to exposure via the food ingestion pathway. The ingestion pathway control measures extend to a 50-mile radius.Table 6-2 provides guidance for the control of water and agricultural products within the Ingestion EPZ.State and local agencies will implement ingestion exposure control measures in accordance with these tables, based on field monitoring data and/or projected surface contamination concentrations.

Interface with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA)for ingestion pathway exposure control measures is provided by the State of Ohio.6.5 Contamination Control Measures This section describes provisions for preventing or minimizing direct exposure to radiation or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces.6.5.1 Site Areas Access to the site area is controlled.

In-plant contamination control is exercised in accordance with PAPs and Health Physics Instructions (HPIs) .The methods include isolation of contaminated areas to the extent feasible.

Necessary occupancy of contaminated areas requires the use of appropriate protective equipment.

Contamination control measures for equipment, tools, and other materials will be implemented in accordance with the Radiation Protection Program procedures and instructions.

These measures may include decontamination, marking for controlled use, or disposal as radioactive waste.6-12 Rev. 37

6.5.2 Offsite

Areas Measures available to minimize radiation exposure due to offsite surface contamination include evacuation, sheltering, or relocation of the affected population, and control of drinking water and agricultural products.

Federal government guidance for implementation of these measures is contained in Tables 6-1 and 6-2.The Emergency Coordinator will provide projected and/or measured offsite surface contamination concentrations to Federal, State and local agencies based on the Perry Plant emergency environmental monitoring activities.

These sampling activities, as well as the transfer of analyses results, will be coordinated with Federal and State monitoring efforts.6.5.3 Decontamination Individuals are considered contaminated when any area of the body surface is contaminated to levels of 1000 dpm/100 cm 2 beta-gamma and/or 20dpm/100 cm 2 alpha or greater. Personnel found to be contaminated will undergo decontamination by Radiation Protection personnel or other qualified personnel, in accordance with approved plant instructions.

It is preferred that personnel decontamination be performed by trained RP personnel, however, other Perry Plant personnel are instructed in both decontamination and first aid procedures.

Measures will be taken to prevent the spread of contamination.

Such measures may include isolating the affected areas, placing contaminated personnel in "clean" clothing before moving them, and decontamination of affected personnel, their clothing and equipment prior to release. Contaminated equipment and items generated as a result of the accident or decontamination process will be disposed of as radioactive waste.Provisions have been made to ensure contaminated and injured personnel receive specialized medical treatment if necessary.

Refer to Section 5.3.3 for contamination control and decontamination efforts associated with a radiologically contaminated injury. If contaminated injured personnel must be transported, measures shall be taken to prevent the spread of contamination.

Such measures may include placing the affected person in "clean" protective clothing, wrapping in blankets or plastic sheeting, and alerting the organizations which provide transportation and treatment.

6-13 Rev. 37

6.6 Emergency

Personnel Dose Control Emergency measures may warrant the acceptance of above-normal radiation exposures.

Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to population groups, or even preservation of a valuable installation, may all be sufficient cause for above normal exposures.

The Perry Plant's Radiation Protection Program provides procedural guidance for increased administrative dose control level authorization during emergency circumstances, and provides specific emergency exposure guides for the following situations:

1. Emergency conditions where immediate action is required to prevent destruction of equipment.
2. Emergency conditions where immediate action is required for life-saving actions.While specific exposure limits can be difficult to specify under emergency circumstances, exposures should be commensurate with the significance of the objective and held to the lowest practicable level that the emergency permits.The TSC Operations Manager, or the Operations Shift Manager, acting as Emergency Coordinator, if the TSC is not activated, is responsible for authorizing plant personnel to receive doses in excess of 10CFR20 limits under emergency situations.

The procedural guidance provides for permitting onsite volunteers to receive radiation exposures in the course of carrying out lifesaving and other emergency activities.

Dose rates during emergency situations will be evaluated utilizing normally available survey equipment.

Special portable survey instruments with an extended range to 1000 rem/hr are also available for conditions involving abnormally high radiation fields.Respiratory equipment is available for issuance by Radiation Protection (RP) Section during emergency conditions.

This equipment includes full-face particulate and iodine respirators, and self-contained breathing apparatus.

Emergency dosimetry, stored in emergency response facilities, will be issued, accounted for, and maintained in accordance with EPIs. Each emergency worker will be issued a permanent recording dosimeter and a direct reading dosimeter prior to either: (1) entering a RCA, (2) leaving or if located outside of the Control Room and TSC upon the declaration of a Site Area Emergency, or (3) as conditions warrant. The emergency personnel dosimetry program includes the capability to determine individual exposure on a 24-hour per day basis.Conduct of normal operations and maintenance inside the RCA requires utilization of a radiological work permit (RWP) .During emergency conditions, provisions have been made to direct radiological surveillance and perform emergency work without a RWP. Radiological conditions and other applicable information will be documented as soon as possible after the emergency.

6-14 Rev. 37

6.7 Thyroid

Blocking 6.7.1 Members of the General Public Upon declaration of a General Emergency, the Emergency Coordinator will recommend to the State and Counties that KI be issued to the General Public in accordance with the State Plan.6.7.2 Perry Emergency Workers A KI dose of 130 mg per day will be recommended for Perry Plant ERO personnel, who have no known thyroid problems or iodine allergies, if the potential exists for a radioiodine exposure to the thyroid at the following levels: 1. Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs)Equivalent to Adult Thyroid 10 Rem Committed Dose 2. ERO personnel onsite -Derived Airborne Concentration (DAC) of 4000 (Corresponds to 10 Rem CDE Adult Thyroid)Approval for the issuance of KI and its distribution shall be in accordance with EPI-B8.A sufficient quantity of KI to allow administration to onsite emergency workers for a period of ten days will be available.(INTENTIONALLY BLANK)6-15 Rev. 37 TABLE 6-1 GUIDELINE FOR PROTECTIVE ACTIONS AGAINST INGESTION OF CONTAMINATION

7.0 EMERGENCY

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT This section describes the facilities and equipment that are available for support in case of an emergency.

A diagram identifying the emergency facilities and their general location relative to each other is shown in Figure 7-1. Most of the facilities and the equipment are normally used for routine plant operations.

Other items are reserved for use only on an "as needed" basis.Alternate locations for the TSC and OSC are discussed in the following sections.

In the event that the site becomes inaccessible or if an evacuation of the onsite emergency response facilities is required (e.g., for security reasons, personnel safety), an alternate assembly area will be pre-designated as a muster point for the Emergency Response Organization.

JIC will be activated if the PIRT is required and cannot be established on the plant site.7.1 Emergency Centers 7.1.1 Technical Support Center (TSC)The TSC for Perry Plant is in the basement (603' elevation) of the Service Building, which is adjacent to the Control Complex Building.The TSC has been designed to have the same radiological habitability as the Control Room under accident conditions.

The TSC will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.3 to provide management, engineering, and technical support to the Control Room in an emergency.

The TSC will also function as the EOF for an Unusual Event or Alert or until such time as the EOF is activated and staffed. The TSC is large enough to provide adequate space for performance of its required functions.

The layout of the TSC is illustrated on Figure 7-2.A description of the communications available in the TSC is provided in Section 7.2.The technical data and instrumentation available in the TSC includes computer terminals to access the ICS and MIDAS programs which are described in Sections 7.5.1 and 7.5.10.1 respectively.

Up-to-date records, procedures, and instructions required to support the technical analysis and evaluation of emergency conditions are available in the TSC Records Room.In the event that the 603' elevation of the Service Building is uninhabitable or inaccessible, the onsite alternate TSC located on TEC first floor or the offsite TSC located in the EOF will used.7-1 Rev. 37 The TEC Alternate TSC area has an isolable, high-efficiency particulate air filtered ventilation system which functions in a manner comparable to the Control Room ventilation system. The proper operation of the TEC ventilation system while in its emergency isolation mode is periodically tested per PTI-M53-P0002.

Included in the ventilation system is a particulate, iodine, and noble gas radiation monitor which will distinguish radioiodines at concentrations as low as 1.OE-7 microcuries/cc.

This monitor provides continuous indication and has an alarm which activates when levels increase to a predetermined value. An area radiation monitor is also installed to indicate the radiation dose rate inside the Onsite Alternate TSC and provide an alarm when levels increase above a predetermined value.7.1.2 Operations Support Center (OSC)The OSC for the Perry Plant is on the 599' elevation of the Control Complex Building and encompasses Radiation Protection work areas, and Chemistry Labs. Protective clothing and radiation survey instruments are available in this area and can be used to support routine plant operations.

A conference room, located with the OSC, is used by the OSC Coordinator as the command center for OSC operations.

The layout of the OSC is illustrated on Figure 7-3.The 599' level of the Control Complex provides habitability which is comparable to that of the Control Room for direct radiation exposure.

Periodic habitability surveys will be performed by Radiation Protection personnel assigned to the OSC.The OSC will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.2 to provide an area for assembly and dispatch of support personnel during an emergency.

A description of the communications available in the OSC is provided in Section 7.2.At the OSC Coordinator's discretion, other plant areas such as the I&C lab, Maintenance Building machine shop, etc. may be utilized to provide additional space for assembling support personnel depending on plant conditions.and habitability considerations in the area being considered.

If the 599' level of the Control Complex elevation becomes uninhabitable or inaccessible, the Unit 2 Control Room can be used as an alternate location for the OSC.7-2 Rev. 37

7.1.3 Emergency

Operations Facility (EOF) <L00537>The EOF for the Perry Plant is located 10.44 miles from the plant at 7751 Auburn Road Concord, Ohio adjacent to 1-90 and SR-44. The EOF is a controlled access prefabricated modular steel framed building capable of withstanding wind speeds of 100 miles per hour. An uninterruptable power supply coupled with a 400 KW diesel generator ensures the facility operations remains unaffected during outside power outages.The EOF will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.4 to provide overall management of emergency response, coordination of offsite radiological and environmental assessment activities, determination of public protective action recommendations, and coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, State, and Local agencies.

The EOF is also the central point for receipt and analysis of field monitoring data and coordination of sample media during an emergency.

The EOF has been sized to provide adequate space to perform all required functions including space for designated Federal, State of Ohio, and local county officials which may be sent to the EOF.There is a Personnel Decontamination Room in the EOF for decontamination should it be necessary.

In addition to supporting NRC site response team operations, the EOF has the ability to support interim public information activities being carried out by the Public Information Response Team (PIRT).The muster area of the EOF can be used for conducting small news media briefings.

The functions of the PIRT do not take precedence over the Perry Plant's commitment to support plant operation; therefore, public information activities will be transferred to the JIC when activated at a Site Area Emergency or upon notification that an NRC Site Team has been dispatched.

The layout of the EOF is illustrated in Figure 7-4.A description of the communications available in the EOF is provided in Section 7.2.The technical data and instrumentation available in the EOF include computer terminals to access the ICS and the MIDAS programs, which are described in Sections 7.5.1 and 7.5.10.1 respectively.

Up-to-date records, drawings, procedures, and instructions required to support overall management of emergency response are available in the EOF Records Room.7-3 Rev. 37

7.1.4 Joint

Information Center (JIC)The JIC for the Perry Plant is located at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, OH, about 16 miles from the site. The facilities used as the JIC provide space for over 350 media personnel as well as work space for Company, Federal, State and County public information personnel.

The JIC will be staffed as described in Section 5.2.2.5 to coordinate the release of emergency information and to provide the media, and hence the public, a single point of contact. The JIC also has provisions for media monitoring and rumor control.JIC personnel receive emergency information from the Perry Plant and from this information coordinate the development and distribution of news statements.

Information is then given to members of the news media in the form of typewritten copy and oral briefings.

The JIC will also provide logistics assistance to members of the news media present.A detailed layout of the JIC is contained in the Emergency Public Information Organization Manual.7-4 Rev. 37

7.2 Communications

Systems 7.2.1 Normal Communications Systems 1. Plant-to-Offsite Communications Voice communications between administrative office areas, the Control Room, selected plant areas, onsite emergency response facilities, and points outside the plant are provided by a commercial Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Telephone System.A backup communications link to the PBX system between various Perry Plant areas and offsite emergency response locations will be provided by the Off-Premise Exchange (OPX) Telephone System.The OPX system is a part of the Centrex based telephone system and is connected to the Perry Plant via the company owned and operated microwave relay system.Microwave and radio communications are also established between the Control Room and the System Control Center (SCC) to transmit voice, analog, and digital signals. The Microwave communication system is backed by very high frequency (VHF) radio. A detailed description of these telephone communications systems, including normal and backup power supplies, is provided in Section 9.5.2.2 of the USAR.2. Intra-Plant and Site Communications Voice communications between various plant buildings and locations is provided by a page/party, public address (PA)system. The Plant PA is specifically designed for utility and heavy industrial applications where intelligible communication in areas of high ambient noise is desired.Manually actuated Plant Emergency and Fire Alarms are activated from the Control Room. A multitone generator system provides high volume or alarm signals which are broadcast through the Plant PA speakers.A Maintenance and Calibration Communication System provides a 12 channel headset communicator network. A Control Room patch panel is used to connect up to 12 parties on one channel to allow communication between the Control Room and jack locations where equipment is being tested, maintained, or calibrated.

7-5 Rev. 37 The Exclusion Area Paging System is an independent PA system consisting of power amplifiers and high power speakers.

The system is capable of broadcasting either a prerecorded message, or voice message using a hand-held microphone, which are audible over the entire exclusion area.A detailed description of these systems, including their operation and normal backup power supplies, is provided in Section 9.5.2.2 of the USAR.7.2.2 Emergency Communications The various communications systems described in Section 7.2.1 provide reliable and redundant means for communicating between areas throughout the Perry Plant. To enhance the reliability of communications with offsite areas, agencies and authorities, various dedicated leased telephone lines are employed.

Several automatic ringdown circuits have also been programmed using the Perry Plant PBX Telephone System to assist in the rapid and unfiltered transfer of information between key ERO positions in each of the onsite Emergency Response Facilities.

In the event that one or more of the dedicated line networks are inoperative, commercial telephone lines, the Perry Plant's PBX, and Company's OPX systems will provide a back-up means of communications between the Perry Plant, Federal, State and local governments with primary responsibilities during an emergency.

A block diagram illustrating dedicated emergency telephone communications, used for offsite notification purposes between the Perry Plant and Federal, State and local counties authorities, is provided in Figure 7-5.1. Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS)In the event of a serious emergency at a nuclear power reactor site, the NRC considers it essential that certain communication pathways are established and maintained in order for the NRC to fulfill its emergency response mission. The Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) provides a network for essential communications functions.

The system uses the licensee's communication network to provide communications links to the NRC Operations Center on a regular basis and when normal telephone service (business dial tone) is unavailable.

These communications functions identified by the NRC as essential, particularly in the early phases of an accident, until an augmented response effort by NRC personnel and other agencies is established at the scene of the emergency, are discussed below.a. The Emergency Notification System (ENS) serves as the Perry Plant's primary means of initial notification of an event to the NRC, as well as ongoing information on plant systems, status, and parameters.

Instruments dedicated for ENS use are located in the following facilities:

1) Unit 1 Control Room (CR)7-6 Rev. 37
2) Technical Support Center (TSC)3) Alternate Technical Support Center (ATSCs)4) Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)b. The Health Physics Network (HPN) serves as the Perry Plant's communication link with the NRC on radiological conditions (in-plant and offsite) and meteorological conditions, as well as discussions on the assessment of trends and the need for protective measures onsite and offsite. Instruments dedicated for HPN use are located in the following facilities:
1) Technical Support Center (TSC)2) Alternate Technical Support Center (ATSCs)3) Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)c. The Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) channel over which raw reactor parametric data will be transmitted from the Perry Plant site. ERDS activation will be accomplished as part of TSC mobilization within one hour of an Alert declaration.
d. Various counterpart and data links in support of NRC Regional Site Team personnel dispatched to the Perry Plant can be established using the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network. These counterpart links are established exclusively for NRC communications.

Instruments dedicated for the following uses are installed in the TSC and EOF: 1) Management Counterpart Link (MCL)2) Reactor Safety Counterpart Link (RSCL)3) Protective Measures Counterpart Link (PMCL)4) Local Area Network (LAN) Access In addition to the Emergency Telecommunications Systems (ETS)network, additional plant Private Branch Exchange (PBX)extensions are also available in the Control Room, TSC and onsite ATSC to support the NRC Resident Inspector(s) and Regional Site Team personnel.

Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network drops are also available at the Perry Plant's offsite ATSC and EOF to support the NRC Resident Inspector(s) and Regional Site Team personnel.

7-7 Rev. 37 Testing of the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network by the Perry Plant will be conducted in accordance with Section 8.5. Needed repairs to the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network when discovered will be reported to the NRC per PSI-0007.2. Emergency Response Network ("5-Way")The primary communications link between the Perry Plant and the offsite State and local county EOCs or 24-hour notification points will be through a dedicated telephone conference loop, referred to as the "5-Way". Instruments off the "5-Way" Circuit are located in the following locations:

a. Control Room b. Technical Support Center (TSC)c. Alternate Technical Support Center (ATSCs)d. Emergency Operations Facility (EOF)e. Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA)1) EOC Emergency Operations Center; Columbus, OH 2) 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Backup -Ohio State Highway Patrol Office;Columbus, OH f.

or the Emergency Telecommunications System (ETS) network ENS Circuit. These lines bypass the Perry Plant PBX and are routed via fiber optic cable to the telephone company's local central office in Perry, Ohio.7-8 Rev. 37 Limited plant operating data, site Meteorological Tower data, and plant effluent monitor data are provided electronically to the OEMA via the internet.

This information is used to support offsite dose projections.

3. Inter-Facility Network The dedicated communications loop serving as a command and control circuit between the facility lead and Operations support positions in the Control Room, TSC, and EOF. The Inter-Facility Network is used by the Emergency Coordinator to coordinate and disseminate decision-making activities.
4. Public Information Communications Commercial telephone lines will be used to establish and maintain an open communications path between EOF to the JIC for updates on plant and event status, as well as the development and approval of Company press releases.5. Radio Communications Two-way radio communications at the Perry Plant are provided by a base to portable radio system. Separate radio channels are designated for specific in-plant and field functions.

The Plant Radio System can be accessed from the facilities onsite in support of emergency response activities via portable radio units assigned to the various plant elements and used on a daily basis.The Central Alarm Station (CAS) can also establish radio communications with the Lake County Sheriff's Office.A more detailed description of the Plant Radio System is contained in USAR Chapter 9.5.2.2.3.

In addition, the Perry Plant utilizes a reliable, trunked radio system as its primary means of communicating with its Radiation Monitoring Teams (RMTs) in the field from the TSC and EOF dose assessment areas. Access to the trunked radio system from the TSC and EOF is via radio-to-radio access. Commercial mobile/cellular telephones, installed in designated RMT vehicles, will serve as a backup to the trunked radio system.7.3 ERO Notifications To provide for rapid augmentation of the shift staff by the ERO, an Emergency Paging System consisting of three separate modes has been devised. These modes consist of: (1) automated paging/callout system;(2) manual activation of pager utilizing the PBX Voice Mail feature; and (3) manual activation of pager utilizing the OPX Voice Mail feature.7-9 Rev. 37 The objective of this system is to enhance the ability of the ERO to respond and augment the shift staff within the time frames identified in Table 5-1. Basically, the system will operate as follows: 1. The Shift Manager initially determines that an EAL will or has been exceeded.2. The Shift Manager or designee will select or draft a message for playback to responders and direct the SAS Operator or available staff to record the message. A pre-designated on-call individual can also be contacted by the Shift Manager to initiate the emergency paging system if an event occurs where SAS and other on-shift personnel are unavailable to initiate the system.3. Paging devices carried by designated ERO personnel are activated at this time by SAS, available on-shift personnel or pre-designated on-call personnel using either private commercial telephone lines, the Perry PBX or FirstEnergy telephone systems.4. Paged personnel call in a response for their designated position and to hear recorded message. From the message received, the paged personnel will determine to what degree they should respond.5. The paged personnel initiate callouts for which they are responsible to the degree necessary to ensure adequate personnel respond to the emergency.

6. The SAS Operator, available on-shift personnel, or pre-designated on-call individual will check which individuals have responded with the emergency callout list to ensure that the appropriate positions have been contacted.

7.4 Prompt

Alert Siren System Alerting and notification of the 10-mile EPZ population is accomplished under the direction of the local county EMA/DES. To facilitate the alerting of the public, a Prompt Alert Siren System, which meets the design objectives of NUREG-0654, Appendix 3, is installed throughout the EPZ in Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula Counties.The Prompt Alert Siren System consists of 76 "electronic" sirens. Each siren consists of an electronic signal source (oscillator), power amplifiers, an array of loudspeakers, batteries and a battery charger, and a radio controller.

Sirens with nominal rated outputs of 109 decibels (dB), 115 dB and 123 dB have been incorporated into the Prompt Alert Siren System. The sirens are numbered separately in each county for ease of identification (e.g., Ll -Lake County, siren #1).7-10 Rev. 37 In general, the sirens have been located along public roadways, on the opposite side of the street from utility lines where possible.

Most sirens have been mounted on wooden utility poles at least 50 feet above the ground with all sirens mounted at sufficient heights to avoid exposing the public to excessive noise levels. All sirens have a public address capability to broadcast voice messages at.the discretion of the local county EMAs.All sirens are operated by radio frequency (RF) control systems consisting of: 1. Three central-station control units, each having a backup power supply, are located in the local County EOCs.2. Individual control-signal receivers at each siren location.Each siren can also be operated manually at the siren site with an appropriate access key. The sirens in each county are under the control of the respective county officials.

Upon receipt of a START signal, a siren will produce the selected sound for approximately 3 minutes, or until a CANCEL signal is received.

The sirens in this system are capable of continuous operation for up to 30 minutes from batteries, even in the event of a total distribution power failure. Figure 7-6 shows the locations of all sirens.A siren test program has been established to include biweekly tests. For the most part, "quiet" tests are utilized, except for a quarterly audible test. The quiet test Consists of the initiation from one of the local counties Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of an inaudible tone that verifies operation of the siren station components.

Using the test results located at the siren station, a silent test will confirm the following:

1) AC power available;
2) DC power available;
3) partial and full amplifier and speaker driver operation, and 4) rotor operation (on those that have a rotating capacity).

The annual full operability test requirement will be met during one of the quarterly audible tests. The annual test consists of the activation of the full Prompt Alerting System from one or all of the county Emergency Operations Centers.PSI-0021 serves as the controlling document for the performance of the tests.7.5 Assessment Facilities The systems and equipment described in the following sections show that the capabilities and resources are available to provide valid and continuing assessment of conditions throughout the course of an accident.7.5.1 Integrated Computer System (ICS)ICS has been developed to furnish plant operators and other emergency personnel with critical plant data in the event of an emergency.

7-i11 Rev. 37 ICS is an integrated system that gathers the required plant data, stores and processes that data, generates visual displays for the operator and other personnel who need plant status information, and provides printed records of transient events. The basic components of ICS are the Data Acquisition System (DAS), the Central Processor Units, and the Graphic Display Consoles.The DAS interfaces with existing plant sensors or devices, converts the acquired signal to digital data, and performs some pre-processing of the data before passing it on to the central processors.

The Central Processor Units (CPUs) are computer modules that accept data from the pre-processors, store the data, perform calculations, validate*

the information, and generate displays according to the programmed formats.The Graphic Display Console (GDC) consists of a display and keyboard.

The display generates a variety of graphic real-time displays that are available on command from the keyboard.

The displays are capable of showing critical plant parameters such as water levels, temperatures, pressures, flows, and status of pumps, valves, and other equipment.

More significantly, they provide the plant operator with a central display of critical "symptoms" of the plant conditions that assist the operator in entering and following the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) and achieving the required actions. None of the GDCs are a control console; they are strictly a source of safety significant information which, when used in conjunction with the existing CR instrumentation, assists CR personnel in performing their emergency response functions.

ICS data is available on a CRT monitor in the CR at various locations.

GDCs are also located in the Remote Shutdown Room, TSC, OSC and EOF.Other equipment located in the TSC provides the capability of printing out in tabular or graphic formats all the ICS variables as a function of time. Statistical analysis and other analyses may also be performed.

7.5.2 Gamma

Spectroscopy System (GSS)The Gamma Spectroscopy System (GSS) is a multi-user computer based data information system provided for the operation of Radiochemistry and Radiation Protection.

GSS consists of multiple gamma spectroscopy units.To enhance system reliability, GSS includes redundant computers.

All data normally accumulated and stored on both computers is accessible.

The system is configured for efficient multi-tasking operation.

  • Validation is the action taken in using redundant signals or other secondary signals to increase the confidence in the data presented.

7-12 Rev. 3 7

7.5.3 Plant

Radiological Monitors Radiological monitors are installed throughout the plant to provide detection, measurement, and indication of area radiation, airborne radioactivity concentrations, and process radioactivity concentrations.

A summary description of various radiation monitors which are generally described below, is provided in USAR Chapter 11.5.In general, the plant radiological monitors have been designed in accordance with the following:

1. Area Radiation Monitoring System (ARMS)The Area Radiation Monitoring System (ARMS) provides continuous detection, measurement, and indication of the ambient gamma radiation level through the use of gamma-sensitive detectors located in selected areas of the plant.This system supplements radiological protection for plant personnel, helps to minimize personnel exposure to radiation, and aids the reactor operator by providing instrumentation which may be used for monitoring radiation levels throughout the plant during normal operation and following an incident.

The system consists of independent channels strategically located throughout the plant in areas where radioactive material may be present or inadvertently introduced, in areas where high radiation levels may develop, or in areas where the operator may gain information regarding the nature and extent of an incident.Most channels are operated from the Control Room panels. Each of these channels consists of three basic components:

detector, alarm indicator unit, and a control room readout module. Local instrument channels consist of the detector and an enclosure containing a single channel ratemeter, alarm light, and horn.The detectors are wall-mounted gamma sensitive devices located in the specific areas of concern. The alarm and indicator units are located nearby the respective detectors to provide plant personnel in the area with radiation dose rate level indication, visual alarms, and an audible alarm. Where necessary, remote warning units are provided in addition to the local alarm and indicator units.Each channel has two warning functions at the local alarm and indicator unit: a red warning light with an associated audible alarm corresponds to a high radiation level. Each channel has visual alarm indication of alert, high radiation, and channel failure on the readout module. In addition, all channels (except local channels) are recorded on multipoint recorders located in the Control Room.To assist in post-accident evaluation, high range gamma monitors have been added to the reactor building and to the drywell to provide a range of 1 R/hr to i07 R/hr. They are powered from independent 120V AC, diesel-backed buses and are provided with continuous readout and multipoint recorders in the Control Room.7-13 Rev. 37 Two monitors will be located in the drywell at approximately core midplane spread approximately 320 apart centered approximately at 2250 azimuth.Two monitors are located in the Reactor Building at approximately the 689' level, and the same degree spread and azimuth as those in the drywell.2. Process Radiation Monitoring System The Process Radiation Monitoring (PRM) System provides detection, measurement, and indication of either effluent stream radioactivity concentration, or gross gamma intensity at strategic plant locations.

Several monitors provide trip signals which automatically initiate Reactor Protection System functions, Nuclear Steam Supply Shutoff functions, or the stoppage of radwaste effluent flow. All process monitors provide CR indication and alarm features for operator information.

All process channels are continually energized.

Each channel consists of a detector, log-ratemeter, and a recorder.Sampling racks are provided for those channels that require laboratory analysis of the effluent stream being monitored.

All liquid monitors utilize a sample pump to draw a representative sample, drive it past the detector, effect grab sampling (as necessary), and then return the fluid to the effluent stream.3. Air Monitors Fixed continuous air monitors and portable air monitors and samplers are utilized to determine the concentrations of airborne radioactivity throughout the plant.The fixed air monitors provide continuous data to indicate trends throughout the various plant areas. Particulate filters and iodine sampling cartridges are removed periodically to identify the specific nuclides.The airborne radiation monitor typically consists of a particulate measuring channel, an iodine measuring channel, and a gas measuring channel. These monitors provide supporting data for the surveillance of plant radioactivity levels and documentation for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements.

A typical airborne radiation monitor subsystem operates as follows: A representative sample of air from a ventilation duct is drawn through a sample line to the airborne monitor unit by means of an air pump. Sampling of the ducts is achieved by the use of a sample probe placed in the air stream. The area of the probe tip is sized so that the velocity of the sample at the probe tip approximates the velocity of the air at the design flow rate in the duct.7-14 Rev. 37 Sampling points on ventilation ducts are taken, whenever possible, at points such that the ventilation flow is fully developed and mixing is complete.

The sample passes through a particulate, iodine, and gas channel in series. Each channel is independent.

In the particulate channel, the sample air passes through a fixed or moving filter which collects particulates and is monitored by a beta scintillation detector, the output of which is preamplified and transmitted to a ratemeter located in the Control Room. The detector and filter are enclosed in a lead shield to reduce the background radiation effects.In the iodine channel, the sample passes through an activated charcoal cartridge which traps the radioactive iodine. A shielded gamma scintillation detector monitors the cartridge.

The output signal is preamplified and transmitted to a ratemeter located in the CR. In the gas channel, the sample enters a shielded volume monitored by a beta sensitive scintillation detector.

The output signal is preamplified and transmitted to a ratemeter in the Control Room.The gas is exhausted back to the ventilation duct. Differential pressure switches across the filter and charcoal cartridges are provided to give high and low flow alarms at the unit and in the CR. Flow regulation is used to maintain a constant flow through the filters. A flow indicator, flow alarms, and log ratemeter indication and alarms are also provided on the unit enclosure.

Sampling systems for the purpose of collecting radioiodines and particulate effluents are connected to the following effluent flow paths: a. Unit Vent (1 & 2)b. Heater Bay/Turbine Building Vent c. Off-Gas Vent Monitoring of radioactive Iodine concentrations under accident conditions in areas where personnel may be present is accomplished with portable Iodine sampling cartridges and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy.

The particulate prefilter will also be analyzed by gamma spectroscopy.

Fixed high range monitors will monitor noble gas concentrations under accident conditions.

7-15 Rev. 37 7.5.4 Fire Protection System Fire protection at the Perry Plant consists of water, halon, foam, and carbon dioxide fire protection systems. Fire detection systems also monitor the condition of numerous control valves and equipment of the fire protection system, and the condition of smoke, heat, and flame detectors located throughout the plant. If an alarm occurs on one of the detectors, the point address and type of alarm is transmitted to the Fire and Security Monitoring System which alarms in the SAS located in the Control Room. Appropriate action is then initiated by the SAS Operator to confirm the alarm or initiate fire fighting efforts.A detailed description of the Fire Protection System's design and capabilities is provided in Chapter 9.5.1 of the PNPP USAR.7.5.5 Seismic Event Monitors The Environmental Monitoring System monitors and records any seismic event which affects the area surrounding the containment structure.

Section 3.7.4.2 of the USAR contains a complete list of equipment.

The monitor's readings are recorded on recording plates, paper charts, and magnetic tape for future reference.

Specific monitors will trip an annunciator in the CR if an abnormal seismic signal is detected.

Upon receiving a signal, the plant operators will verify that the plant is still in a safe operating condition, or take steps to return the plant to a safe condition.

7.5.6 Hydrological

Monitors To assure that the underground hydrostatic pressure is less than that critical to structural stability, 21 standpipes are located in the basements of the safety related buildings.

These will be checked and the levels recorded periodically.

A detailed description of the Underdrain and Gravity Discharge Systems, used to control groundwater around the Perry Plant, is contained in USAR Chapter 2.4.13.7.5.7 Onsite Meteorological Measurement Program The Onsite Meteorological Program at the Perry Plant site began in April 1972. The 60 meter tower was upgraded and moved 3,500 feet to a new location in August 1977. The tower was moved in 1977 in order to minimize any potential effect of the PNPP cooling towers under construction at the time and as a result of cooling tower operation.

Regional weather data is also available for manual input to the emergency dose assessment computer program from the Cleveland-Hopkins branch of the National Weather Service (NWS).This data is available on a 24-hour-per-day-basis and is representative of the meteorological conditions at the Perry Plant.7-16 Rev. 37

7.5.8 Laboratory

Facilities The Perry Plant laboratory facilities are equipped to provide the water chemistry and radiochemical analysis support required during normal plant operations and in the event of an emergency to assist in the diagnosis of plant conditions.

This emergency sampling capability is part of the Post-Accident Sampling System (PASS).The PASS is designed to: i. Collect liquid and gaseous samples from containment after a loss-of-coolant accident.2. Provide in-line analysis of collected liquid samples for total dissolved gas, pH, specific conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.3. Provide samples for onsite and offsite laboratories for wet chemistry and isotopic analysis.In addition, the system is designed to minimize radiation exposure to operating personnel during post accident sampling conditions.

The maximum exposure to each operator during sampling transport and analysis is limited to 5 Rem TEDE and 75 Rem to the extremities (hands and feet).The shielding study conducted in response to NUREG-0737, TMI Action Plan, Item II.B.2 shows that the normal counting and laboratory facilities will be habitable in post accident conditions.

Therefore the normal counting room will be used to perform isotopic analysis of post accident samples, and an offsite contractor laboratory will be used to provide backup liquid analysis capabilities, as required.A backup counting room is provided in the TSC. This counting room is equipped with a Multi-Channel Analyzer.7.5.9 Facilities and Equipment for Offsite Monitoring

1. Geophysical Phenomena Monitors Information gathered by the natural phenomena monitors (meteorological and seismic) will be available in the Control Room. Detailed information from the seismic and hydrological indications in the plant will be collected, and relayed to the Control Room. The information, if required, may then be transmitted to offsite locations via telephone.

In the event that the information is not available, or cannot be relayed to offsite locations, the offsite locations may obtain some of the information from local airports and weather bureaus.2. Radiological Environmental Monitors The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) may be utilized to assess the emergency.

7-17 Rev. 37 In the event of an accident, the sampling stations may be used to collect information to aid in the assessment of the accident.Instrumentation at the sampling stations includes radiation measuring devices with selected stations having equipment to continuously sample the air.The sampling locations and types of samples are shown in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). In addition, the Perry Plant REMP Manual provides detailed information concerning sample types and locations.

In addition to the REMP instrumentation available for monitoring the area surrounding the Perry Plant, portable instrument readings will be taken during emergencies by RMTs. These teams will be trained and provided with equipment to monitor for direct radiation, airborne particulate activity, and radioiodines.

Radioiodine monitoring will be accomplished using a portable air sampler to draw air through a particulate filter then through a silver impregnated, silica gel cartridge.

The cartridge will then be monitored and the results used in calculations to provide an airborne radionuclide concentration.

This method has a minimum sensitivity of 1 x 10E-7 pCi/cc under field conditions.

7.5.10 Dose Assessment Capabilities

1. Automated Dose assessment in the event of an emergency at the Perry Plant will be accomplished using a computerized system that receives data automatically from the site meteorological (MET) tower, plant radiation monitors, and the Plant Integrated Computer System. The software package that performs these functions is referred to as MIDAS (Meteorological Information Dose Assessment System).The MIDAS software package is installed and operated on designated processors located in the Control Room, TSC, EOF.Each processor runs inma multi-tasked environment under a"Windows" system and is capable of running independently.

Individual processors interface with the Plant Integrated Computer System on a real time basis to obtain meteorological data, plant vent flow and radiation monitor data, and other plant status indicators used in the MIDAS logic. Should this computer link fail, MIDAS will allow the user to manually enter the necessary data using user-friendly prompts.7-18 Rev. 37 MIDAS is entirely menu driven and is configured to provide for rapid calculation of offsite doses for a monitored release automatically seeking inputs for the calculation and formulation of decisions based on plant data. MIDAS also provides for a summation of dose over multiple monitored release points and allows a user the ability to manually enter and edit data or an unmonitored release. Dispersion and dose calculations can be initiated by a single operator at any of the designated processors.

MIDAS complies with EPA-400 in all facets of dose projection.

MIDAS complies for the projection of early phase (predominately plume exposure) and intermediate phase (ground exposure) doses, with the exception that Committed Dose Equivalent for a child thyroid is conservatively calculated in lieu of the generic EPA-400 thyroid.The user is prompted to manually select the appropriate core state (i.e., GAP Release, In-Vessel Severe Core Damage Uncovered> 30 Minutes, or Vessel Melt Through).

The source term assigned to each specific core state is based on the guidance established in RTM-96. Thirty-five (35) nuclide species required by RTM-96 as well as Rb-88 and Cs-138 are considered.

MIDAS will also allow a user to manually enter an isotopic analyses if known, to more realistically determine the source term.MIDAS will then dynamically calculate the radiological inventory available for release, applying the applicable decay factors and radioiodine reduction factors per RTM-96 based on the release path. Nuclide decay, amount of rainfall if applicable is also taken into account for time after shutdown and downwind plume travel.A straight-line, Class A, Gaussian model and a time-dependent, variable trajectory, Class 'B' plume segment model is used in MIDAS for the real time, rapid estimation of dose in the 10-mile EPZ to the general public following the classification of an emergency event or the recognition of a severe radiological release. Any release from the plant is considered by MIDAS to be ground level released in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.145.Atmospheric dispersion or CHI/Q values for plume centerline are dynamically calculated in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.145 using actual 15-minute meteorological data from the site MET tower, as described in USAR Chapter 2.3.3.4. Should main and backup MET tower data become unavailable, MIDAS offers alternative choices to the user for conservative dispersion coefficients based on other available indications.

Atmospheric dispersion or CHI/Q values for plume centerline are dynamically calculated in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.145 using actual 15-minute meteorological data from the site MET tower, as described in USAR Chapter 2.3.3.4. Should main and backup MET tower data become unavailable, MIDAS offers alternative choices to the user for conservative dispersion coefficients based on other available indications.

7-19 Rev. 37 Regional weather data is also available for manual input to the emergency dose assessment computer program from the Cleveland Hopkins Airport branch of the National Weather Service (NWS).This data is available on a 24-hour per day basis.MIDAS dose projection results, provided in a tabular format, are sufficient to allow the user to identify the plume position, and the location, magnitude and arrival time of (1) the peak relative concentration and (2) the relative concentrations at appropriate locations.

MIDAS allows a user to separately enter data from plant RMTs in the field, which can be used to: (1) compare calculations based on RMT data to effluent monitor readinigs, (2) extrapolate readings to other upwind and downwind locations, and (3) to display RMT information at other workstations.

Contingency calculations for Spent Fuel Release from Containment and the Fuel Handling Building are analyzed.

This option provides a user with contingency routines for dose calculations based upon the potential for a release, allowing a user to diagnosis

("what if") a potential radiological situation based core status and on potential system failure.Each dose projection, once accepted, will be assigned to the affected sector/sub-area unless an evacuation in that sector/sub-area has been ordered, in which case, the evacuation time estimate for that sector/sub-area will be factored into the dose assigned to that sector/sub-area.

MIDAS will calculate an accumulated dose to the hypothetical highest exposed individual, i.e., one who was located at the plume centerline for the duration of the release(s).

MIDAS does not factor in census data to determine total population dose.Each MIDAS PC is separate and independent of one another. The software is not designed to transfer accumulated dose between PCs.MIDAS provides the user with the ability to: (1) review and revise data received directly from the Plant Integrated Computer System until MIDAS is directed to perform calculation, (2)lockout data points if the value is the user to be in error, and (3) store each calculation based on actual releases for later recall until file maintenance is performed.

Once a dose projection is completed, MIDAS will automatically provide the user with the most conservative protective action recommendation (PAR) based on the following options: (1) General Emergency default based on guidance set forth in Supplement 3 to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-I, or (2) EPA-400 specified values of either 1 Rem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) or 5 Rem Committed Dose Equivalent (CDE) -Child Thyroid. A detailed description of the default PARs based on plant status is contained in Section 6.4.1.7-20 Rev. 37 At the user's command, MIDAS will provide printouts of all major assumptions, Plant Integrated Computer System inputs or manual inputs for each calculation (actual releases as well as contingency calculations), dose and dose rates from the Site Boundary to 10-miles, and PARs based on subareas.

Each printout will have a date and time stamp, Actual or Drill mode to document when the calculation or PAR was completed.

2. Backup Method Offsite Dose Calculations NOP-LP-5007 contains the methodology and information necessary to perform dose projections during emergency conditions at the Perry Plant in accordance with NUREG-0654 and EPA-400-92-R-001.

The backup method, (manual) data entry mode mimics the MIDAS methodology delineated in 7.5.10.1 (Automated).

All pertinent effluent data is made available from the Integrated Computer System (ICS) and access to the Safety Parameters Display System (SPDS) .In case of loss of power, an un-interruptible Power Supply, (UPS) with diesel backed power to sustain operations of MIDAS dose assessment software and ICS and SPDS computers.

The functional responsibilities for this program are outlined below.8.1 Organizational Preparedness 8.1.1 Manager, Emergency Response Section (ERS)The functional responsibility for the Emergency Preparedness Program at the Perry Plant rests with the Vice President, Nuclear -Perry.This responsibility is further delegated to the Manager, Emergency Response Section. The Manager, Emergency Response Section has the overall responsibility for the coordination and implementation of the Perry Plant Emergency Preparedness Program. The major responsibilities of the Manager, Emergency Response Section include: 1. Directing the development and maintenance of emergency planning documents and specification of emergency response requirements which include the maintenance of the Perry Plant Emergency Plan EPIs, PSIs, and the EPIOIM.2. working with the local, State, and Federal governments to assure a smooth working interface during any planning or implementation activities in emergency planning.3. Scheduling drills, practice exercises and inspections to evaluate the preparedness of the Perry Plant and offsite agencies to respond to radiological emergency conditions, and reporting results including identified deficiencies.

4. Initiating corrective action and developing responses to emergency preparedness deficiencies identified by drill, exercise, and reviews performed by regulatory agencies.5. Evaluating progress of corrective action resulting from deficiencies identified by drill, exercise, or review of the Perry Plant and county emergency preparedness programs.8-1 Rev. 37
6. Assisting the local county EMA/DES in the development of training programs for local emergency response organizations, such as fire departments, emergency medical services, local hospitals, or others involved with public information, public evacuation, and assistance required in the event of a radiological emergency.

Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake counties have developed a single training program, referred to as the "Comprehensive Training Program (CTP)", to serve all three counties.

The Radiological Emergency Response Plans for Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake Counties identify each agency within their respective county that has emergency response responsibility related to an incident that may occur at the Perry Plant. The CTP specifies by title which persons in each agency should be trained, how many persons per each title should be trained, and the modules of training pertaining to each title.Also, the Ohio EMA and FEMA have developed several courses appropriate to nuclear power plant incidents.

These courses are delivered locally by Ohio EMA and elsewhere in the State as well as at FEMA's training facility in Maryland and Alabama.Both OEMA and FEMA Region V annually review the training effort conducted in Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake Counties.

The training of off-site agencies, for which the Perry Plant has responsibility, are outlined in Table 8-1. Training of these entities will be made available annually either by the Perry Plant or through the local county EMAs.7.

The V.P., Nuclear Communications has responsibility for the preparation and conduct of the annual Media Training program discussed in Section 8.7. The V.P., Nuclear Communications and the ERS maintain a close working relationship to ensure continued coordination of the Perry Plant Emergency Preparedness Program.8-2 Rev. 37 8.1.2 Manager, Emergency Response Section (ERS)The functional responsibility for the training needed to support the Perry Plant Emergency Preparedness Program rests with the Manager, Emergency Response Section, who reports to the Director, Performance Improvement Department (PID) .These responsibilities include the coordination, development, administration, and implementation of the training necessary to support emergency preparedness.

This training is as follows: 1. All Perry Plant staff personnel having unescorted access privileges to the Protected Area are required to attend Plant Access Training (PAT) at least annually.

New employees and contractor personnel are required to attend PAT prior to receiving unescorted access privileges.

With regard to emergency preparedness, the overall objective of PAT is to ensure that plant personnel are able to properly respond to an Emergency Plan activation.

To meet this requirement, the following specific PAT objectives have been established.

a. State the purpose of the emergency plan.b. State the classifications of plant emergencies.
c. Recognize the emergency alarms, and state the proper response for each.d. State the actions required during emergency plan implementation.
e. State the purpose of accountability during an emergency.
f. Discuss evacuation plans, including identification of offsite monitoring/decontamination centers and evacuation routes.g. State the company's policy concerning the release of information to the public and news media regarding an emergency.
h. State the Company's policy regarding the fitness for duty requirements of 10CFR26.2. Personnel assigned to the ERO with specific duties and responsibilities receive specialized training for their respective assignments.

This training ensures that emergency response personnel maintain and improve their skills and are cognizant of applicable plant physical and procedural changes, changes in regulatory requirements, changes to initial training, and lessons-learned from in-house and industry wide operating experiences.

Retraining will be conducted every 12 +/- 3 months in accordance with plant procedures.

8-3 Rev. 37 When practical, participation in drills and exercises can be used to meet the requalification requirements of plant procedures and to provide "hands-on" experience to ERO personnel.

Emergency Coordinator training will include a comprehensive review of the Emergency Plan and Implementing Instructions, which includes emergency classifications, protective action recommendations, and communications.

Other topics to be included in this training are a basic review of: Local County Emergency Plans, the State of Ohio Emergency Plan, the NRC Incident Response Plan, and the interfaces of the Perry Plant Emergency Plan with each.3. Plant personnel will receive basic radiological orientation training, including the risk and potential effects of radiation exposure, as part of PAT.The majority of ERO personnel staffing the Control Room, OSC and TSC will receive additional training as part of Radiation Worker Training (RWT), which is a requirement for their normal job duties. RWT includes information regarding the risk and potential effects of radiation associated with emergency exposure.

ERO personnel will also receive training on the issuance and use of dosimetry as it relates to their assigned ERO function, during their required emergency preparedness training.ERO personnel with responsibility for recommending and approving the issuance of potassium iodide (KI) tablets to plant emergency workers per Section 6.7, will receive training as part of their required emergency preparedness training.

Plant personnel, who may be issued KI based on the ERO function, will receive a briefing on the use and potential health effects of KI at the time of issuance in accordance with <EPI-B8>.4. First aid team members receive The American National Red Cross, The American Heart Association or equivalent first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training.5. At a minimum, plant personnel designated as Accident Management Team (AMT) members or SAG evaluator, decision-maker, or implementer per the TSG, TSC Operations Advisors, and TSC Core/Hydraulic Engineers will receive training on Severe Accident Guidelines (SAGs) per lesson plan OT (Operator Training) 3410, "SAGs." Since SAG training is not required for the implementation of emergency response actions contained in this Plan, the frequency and content of SAG training is governed by OT 3410.To support ERO operational and technical assessment activities, AMT members augmenting TSC staff will receive appropriate ERO training as specified in plant procedures.

9.0 RE-ENTRY AND RECOVERY The protection of plant personnel and the general public is of prime importance in any emergency.

Once the immediate protective and corrective actions have been taken and the emergency has been brought under control, the emergency actions will shift into the Recovery phase, where all actions should be planned and deliberate.

Downgrading of a Site Area Emergency to a lesser classification can be directed by the Emergency Coordinator when the following conditions are met: 1. The intent of the EAL entry conditions for the classification are no longer met;2. Plant conditions are stable, and the prognosis for improvement is good;3. Downgrading the event does not interfere with the emergency response activities of the NRC, State of Ohio, and local counties.Due to the severity and potential of off-site consequences associated with a General Emergency, downgrading from this emergency classification is not permitted.

Instead, the General Emergency will be terminated when the criteria outlined in <EPI-Al> are met, and a Recovery Phase implemented.

The Recovery plan will provide for a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to existing conditions, as it is not possible to anticipate in advance all of the conditions that may be encountered in any emergency situation.

Therefore, the Recovery Plan is intended to address general principles that will serve as a guide for developing specific instructions for use at the time.9.1 Re-entry Phase Re-entry consists of the planned return to an evacuated area, either in-plant or onsite, to perform a specific operation, assessment or repair in support of Recovery efforts, i.e., manipulation or repair of critical equipment and systems.During the Emergency Phase, entry into evacuated in-plant and site areas will be coordinated through the OSC using the procedural controls established per <EPI-A7> to ensure that appropriate radiological and safety precautions are evaluated.

Upon entry into the Recovery Phase, re-entry activities will be prioritized, authorized and directed through the Recovery Organization discussed in Section 9.2. A Re-entry Team Coordinator shall be appointed following the de-activation of the OSC, to coordinate the briefing and provide logistical support to re-entry team members. Therefore, an organized structure is in place during the Emergency and Recovery Phases to assess existing and potential hazards to re-entry personnel and implement or relax protective measures as deemed appropriate.

Specific responsibilities and duties for re-entry activities are outlined in <EPI-AI0>.

9-1 Rev. 37

9.2 Recovery

Phase The Emergency Coordinator will have the responsibility to determine when the Emergency Phase will be terminated and Recovery Phase initiated.

The entry into the Recovery Phase and the establishment of a Recovery Organization are mandatory when terminating an event from a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency.

Entry into Recovery from any other emergency classification is optional and, therefore, at the discretion of the Emergency Coordinator.

Prior to entering the Recovery Phase, the Emergency Coordinator appoints a Recovery Director and Recovery Organization be assembled per Figure 9-1 to develop and coordinate a Recovery Plan, instructions, and schedules for the Recovery operations.

The Emergency Coordinator may use his judgment in authorizing the interim use of existing, non-shift ERO personnel to meet initial Recovery Organization staffing.Recovery actions should be preplanned with adequate evaluation of plant conditions and data acquired during the course of the emergency.

Decisions to relax protective measures will be reviewed by the Recovery Organization to ensure that radiation exposure and personnel hazards are minimized.

As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) radiation exposure practices shall apply during the Recovery and restoration.

The Recovery Plan program involves the determination of the damage to equipment; the installation of shielding, rope barriers and signs; the application of safety tags, performing decontamination and cleanup as required to place the plant in an acceptable long term condition, and the periodic determination of total population exposure.

Recovery operations shall not be initiated until the area affected by the emergency has been defined. Particular attention shall be directed towards isolating components and systems as required to control or minimize the hazards. A systematic investigation shall be conducted to determine what equipment has been damaged and the extent of the damage.The Recovery Plan shall also address actions needed to perform detailed investigation of the accident causes and consequences both to the plant and the environment; determine repair work or modifications to plant equipment, revisions to operating procedures, and test programs; and estimating accumulated dose to the general public.Recovery operations that may result in the release of radioactive materials shall be evaluated by the Recovery Director and his Recovery Organization as far in advance as possible.

Such events and data pertaining to the release shall be reported to the appropriate offsite emergency organizations and agencies.The Recovery Organization may be modified by the Recovery Director to effectively assess and restore the plant to a long-term safe shutdown condition.

At such time, the formal termination of the Recovery Phase and implementation of a restoration program shall be discussed with and concurred by the NRC, and State and local county officials.
