Revision 13 of 50 Emergency Classification 1.0 PURPOSE To describe the method for classification of emergencies at IPEC as a Notification of Unusual Event (NUE), Alert, Site Area Emergency (SAE) or General Emergency (GE). It also described actions to take regarding Out-of-Service instruments that are used to evaluate EAL's.

For classifiable events that potentially impact both units (security, natural or rr.an-made events), the Shift Managers for each unit shall confer about the need to classify the event. If it is determined that emergency classification is warranted, the Unit 2 Shift Manager shall declare the event in accordance with this procedure. Once an initial emergency classification has been made, the unit Shift Manager making the initial declaration shall be responsible for any subsequent emergency classifications, regardless of which unit is affected, until such time as relieved by the on-call Emergency Director.

4.2 The Shift Manager, upon initial emergency classification, shall assume the role of Emergency Director and shall act as the Emergency Director until relieved by the On-Call Emergency Director or other qualified Emergency Director (Plant Operations Manager). 4.3 The Emergency Director is responsible for overall command and control of the

4.4 lniti~I and subsequent emergency classification shall be made within 15 minutes followin g the identification of a classifiable event to ensure that prompt notification, mobiliza tion, protective and corrective actions are taken. 4.5 Upon becoming aware of any condition or event that they believe may warrant an upgrade in emergency classification, Emergency Response Organization membe rs shall promptly inform the Emergency Director via their chain of command. 4.6 A broad spectrum of discretion in classifying events is provided under "Hazards" Sub-Category 6.0 "Judgement". In using the Sub-Category "Judgement" and in classify ing emergencies under circumstances which are not a straight-forward use of the EALs, ERO members should be mindful than an approach is needed which is conservative with respect to public, plant, and personnel safety and with respect to ensuring the adequa cy of personnel and technical support. Conservative decisions must be made if the Emergency Director has any doubt regarding the health and safety of the public .

ENNIPEC NON-QUALITY RELATED EMERGENCY PLAN PROCEDURE IP-EP-120 Revision 13 IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES Use REFERENCE Page 2 of 50 5.0 DETAILS 5.1 Recognizing an Emergency NOTE All classifications are to be based upon VALID indications, reports or conditions. Indications, reports or conditions are considered VALID when they are verified by ( 1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment. 5.1.1 When indications. of abnormal conditions or events are received, personnel:will verify the symptoms/indications and then compare with the Emergency Action Levels (Attachment 9.1). 5.1.2 Identify the highest applicable emergency classification level (if multiple EALs are exceeded) for which an EAL has been met or exceeded considering the following: (a) The plant condition existing at the time the abnormal condition exists:

                       @     All Operating Modes 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5,6, DEF
  • Hot Condition Modes 1, 2, 3, 4
                       ~    Cold Condition Modes 5, 6, DEF (b)    IF conditions warrant the issuance of offsite Protective Action Recommendations (PARs), THEN the classification of General Emergency is required.

(c) IF plant conditions indicate a possible radiological release or a release is in progress or suspected, THEN evaluate the applicability of offsite dose-based EALs (IP-EP-310, Dose Assessment). ,

Examples include momentary steam generator level shrink following reactor trip or brief wind gusts in excess of classifiable levels. 5.4.3 Spurious alarms or parameters, which are known to be invalid indicators of actual plant conditions or of the emergency classification, should not be used to declare emergency classifications. 5.5 Compensatory Measures for Out-of-Service EAL Instruments. 5.5.1 IP-EP-AD40 provides guidance when planning to take an instrument OOS (Out of Service) that is used to determine an EAL condition or following an unplanned loss of the instrument. 6.0 INTERFACES 6.1 IP-EP-210, Central Control Room 6.2 EN-EP-610, Technical Support Center (TSC) Operations 6.3 IP-EP-310, Dose Assessment 6.4 IP-EP-410, Protective Action Recommendations 6.5 IP-EP-510, Meteorological, Radiological & Plant Data Acquisition System

Maintaining the Emergency Plan Conclusion The questions in Part II do not represent the sum total of all conditions that may cause a change to or impact the ability lo maintain the emergency plan. Originator and reviewer signatures in Part IV document that a review of all elements of the proposed change have been considered for their impact on the ability to maintain the emergency plan and their potential to change the emergency plan.

1. Provide a brief conclusion that describes how the conditions as described in the emergency plan are maintained with this activity.
2. Check the box below when the 10 CFR 50.54(q}(2) review completes all actions for all elements of the activity - no 1o CFR 50.54(q)(3) screening or evaluation is required for any element. Otherwise, leave the checkbox blank.

18] I have completed a review of this activity in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(2) and determined that the effectiveness of the emergency plan is maintained. This activity does not make any changes to the emergency plan. No further actions are required to screen or evaluate this activity under 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3). A review of this activity in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54{q)(2) has been completed and determined that the effectiveness of the emergency plan is maintained. This revision on the Central Control Room procedure updates the format, clarifies information, and adds clarification for the operation in the Control Room. Specifically. the timing associated with completion of notifications is clarified. And a definition of "release" has been added, which is the same definition as on the Part 1 notification form. None of the changes affect the activation and operation of the Central Control Room or the responsibility or requirements associated with classification, notification, dose assessment and protective action recommendations. The changes made to IP-EP-210 do not require a change to the Emergency Action Level scheme, On shift staffing study, or the IPEC Emergency Plan. No further actions are required to screen or evaluate this activity under 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3).

Notes 1.1       Classification of the Emergency NOTE:

The assessment, classification, and declaration of an emergency condition is expected to be completed within 15 min after the availability of indications (i.e. plant instrumentation, plant alarms., computer displays, or incoming verbal reports) to plant operators that an EAL has been exceeded.

  • The 15 min criterion is not to be construed as a grace period to restore plant conditions to avoid declaring the event.

The emergency declaration SHOULD be made promptly without waiting for the 15 min period to elapse once the EAL is recognized as being exceeded. For EALs that specify duration of the off normal condition, such as fire lasting 15 min, loss of power for 15 min etc.:

                    ,    The ED SHALL make the declaration at the first available opportunity when the time has elapsed (NOT after an

(*,.' additional 15 minutes).

                   >-    The ED SHOULD not wait until the applicable time has elapsed, but should declare the event as soon as it is determined that the condition will likely exceed the applicable time.

NOTE: VERIFY events affecting both units are classified as dual unit events ("BOTH UNITS" selected on NYS Part I form in MIDAS). The category that is automatically a dual unit event is Security. For events such as weather or loss of power, both units are affected as long as they are at the same level of classification (i.e. NUE). If one unit enters a higher classification at the initiating event (i.e. LOOP with one unit's EDGs all

  • running and the other unit without EDGs running) or has to escalate then it becomes the only unit affected.

It should be used to facilitate review of the IPEC EALs and provide historical documentation for future reference.

Decision-makers responsible for implementation of EP-IP-120, Emergency Classification, may use this document as a technical reference in support of EAL interpretation. This information may assist the Emergency Director in making classifications, particularly those involving judgment or multiple events. The basis information may also be useful in training, for explaining event classifications to off-site officials, and would facilitate regulatory review and approval of the classification scheme . The expectation is that emergency classifications are to be made as soon as conditions are present and recognizable for the classification, but within 15 minutes or less in all cases of conditions present. Use of this document for assistance is not intended to delay the 0 em erg ency classification. 2.0 DISCUSSION 2.1 Background EALs are the plant-specific indications, conditions or instrument readings that are utilized to classify emergency conditions defined in the Entergy IPEC Emergency Plan. In 1992, the NRG endorsed NUMARC/NESP-007 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" as an alternative to NUREG-0654 EAL guidance. NEI 99-01 (NUMARC/NESP-007) Revision 5 represents the most recently formally endorsed methodology. Enhancements over earlier revisions included:

IPEC NON-QUALITY

  • ~Entergy EMERGENCY RELATED IP-EP-AD13 Revision 20 PLAN PROCEDURE ADMINISTRATIVE 1--------+---------1---~-----1 PROCEDURES REFERENCE USE Page 5 of 320
  • Consolidating the system malfunction initiating conditions and example emergency action levels which address conditions that may be postulated to occur during plant shutdown conditions.
  • Initiating conditions and example emergency action levels that fully address conditions that may be postulated to occur at permanently Defueled Stations and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSls).
  • Simplifying the fission product barrier EAL threshold for a Site Area Emergency.
  • Incorporates resolutions to numerous implementation issues including the NRG EAL FAQs.

Using NEI 99-01 Rev. 5, IPEC conducted an EAL implementation upgrade project that produced the EALs discussed herein .

  • 2.2 Fission Product Barriers Many of the EALs derived from the NEI methodology are fission product barrier based. That is, the conditions that define the EALs are based upon loss or potential loss of one or more of the three fission product barriers. "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive _!llaterials; "potential loss" infers an increased probability of barrier loss and decreased certainty of maintaining the barrier.

The primary fission product barriers are: A. Fuel Clad (FC): Zirconium tubes which house the ceramic uranium oxide pellets along with the end plugs which are welded into each end of the fuel rods comprise the FC barrier. B. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The RCS is comprised of the reactor vessel shell, vessel head, vessel nozzles and penetrations and all primary systems directly connected to the reactor vessel up to the first containment isolation valve. C. Containment (CNMT): The containment is comprised of the vapor containment structure and all isolation valves required to maintain containment integrity under accident conditions.

Unusual Event: Any Joss or any potential Joss of Containment Alert: Any Joss or any potential Joss of either Fuel Clad or RCS Site Area Emergency: Loss or potential Joss of any two barriers General Emergency: Loss of any two barriers and Joss or potential Joss of third barrier 2.4 EAL Relationship to EOPs Where possible, the EALs have been made consistent with a~d utilize the conditions defined in the IPEC Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSFSTs). While the symptoms that drive operator actions specified in the CSFSTs are not indicative of all possible conditions which warrant emergency classification, they do define the symptoms, independent of initiating events, for which reactor plant safety and/or fission product barrier integrity are threatened. Where these symptoms are clearly representative of one of the NEI Initiating Conditions, they have been utilized as an EAL. This permits rapid classification of emergency situations based on plant conditions without the need for additional evaluation or event diagnosis. Although some of the EALs presented here are based on conditions defined in the CSFSTs, classification of emergencies using these EALs is not dependent upon Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) entry or execution. The EALs can be utilized independently or in conjunction with the EOPs .

  • ~Entergy EMERGENCY PLAN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES RELATED PROCEDURE IP-EP-AD13 1---------+---~---+------r---1 REFERENCE USE Page 7 Revision 20 of 320 2.5 Symptom-Based vs. Event-Based Approach To the extent possible, the EALs are symptom-based. That is, the action level threshold is defined by values of key plant operating parameters that identify emergency or potential emergency conditions. This approach is appropriate because it allows the full scope of variations in the types of events to be classified as emergencies. However, a purely symptom-based approach is not sufficient to address all events for which emergency classification is appropriate. Particular events to which no predetermined symptoms can be ascribed have also been utilized as EALs since they may be indicative of potentially more serious conditions not yet fully realized.

2.6 EAL Organization

  • The IPEC EAL scheme includes the following features:
  • Division of the EAL set into three broad groups:

o EALs applicable under all plant operating modes - This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered. o EALs applicable only under hot operating modes - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Startup/Hot Standby, or Power Operations mode. o EALs applicable only under cold operating modes - This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refuel or Defueled mode. The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of hot condition EALs when the plant is in a cold condition and avoid review of cold condition EALs when the plant is in a hot condition. This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user for a given plant condition, reduces EAL-user reading burden

  • and, thereby, speeds identification of the EAL that applies to the emergency .

  • Within each of the above three groups, assigilment of EALs to categories/subcategories
   - Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user.

For events that occur in Cold Shutdown or Refueling, escalation is via EALs that have Cold Shutdown or Refueling for mode applicability, even if Hot Shutdown (or a higher mode) is entered during any subsequent heat-up. In particular, the fission product barrier EALs are applicable only to events that initiate in Hot Shutdown or higher.

2.1 O Validation of Indications, Reports and Conditions All emergency classifications shall be based upon valid indications, reports or conditions. An indication, report, or condition, is considered to be valid when it is verified by (1) an instrument channel check, or (2) indications on related or redundant indicators, or (3) by direct observation by plant personnel, such that doubt related to the indicator's operability, the

  • condition's existence, or the report's accuracy is removed. Implicit in this definition is the need for timely assessment.

2.11 Planned vs. Unplanned Events Planned evolutions involve preplanning to address the limitations imposed by the condition, the performance of required surveillance testing, and the implementation of specific controls prior to knowingly entering the condition in accordance with the specific requirements of the site's Technical Specifications. Activities which cause the site to operate beyond that allowed by the site's Technical Specifications, planned or unplanned, may result in an EAL threshold being met or exceeded. Planned evolutions to test, manipulate, repair, perform maintenance or modifications to systems and equipment that result in an EAL value being met or exceeded are not subject to classification and activation requirements as long as the evolution proceeds as planned and is within the operational limitations imposed by the specific operating license. However, these conditions may be subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 .

The key consideration in this situation is to determine whether or not further plant damage occurred while the corrective actions were being taken. In some situations, this can be readily I

I determined, in other situations, further analyses (e.g., coolant radiochemistry sampling) may be necessary. Classify the event as indicated and terminate the emergency once assessment shows that there were no consequences from the event and other termination criteria are met. Existing guidance for classifying transient events addresses the period of time of event recognition and classification (15 minutes). However, in cases when EAL declaration criteria may be met momentarily during the normal expected response of the plant, declaration requirements should not be considered to be met when the conditions are a part of the

  • designed plant response, or result from appropriate Operator actions .

There may be cases in which a plant condition that exceeded an EAL was not recognized at the time of occurrence but is identified well after the condition has occurred (e.g., as a result of routine log or record review), and the condition no longer exists. In these cases, an e111ergency should not be declared. Reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 are applicable and the guidance of NUREG-1022, Event Reporting Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73, should be applied. 2.13 Imminent EAL Thresholds Although the majority of the EALs provide very specific thresholds, the Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL threshold is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded. While this is particularly prudent at the higher emergency classes (the early classification may permit more effective implementation of protective measures), it is nonetheless applicable to all emergency classes .

For example, two Alerts remain in the Alert category. Or, an Alert and a Site Area Emergency is a Site Area Emergency. 2.15 Emergency Classification Downgrading and Termination Another important aspect of usable EAL guidance is the consideration of what to do when the risk posed by an emergency is clearly decreasing. While event downgrading to lower emergency classification levels may have merit under certain circumstances it is the policy at IPEC that emergency classifications be directly terminated rather than downgraded and transitioned into the recovery phase per implementing procedure guidance .

Hostile Action An act toward IPEC or its personnel that includes the use of violent force to destroy equipment, take hostages, and/or intimidate the licensee to achieve an end. This includes attack by air, land, or water using guns, explosives, projectiles, vehicles, or other devices used to deliver destructive force. Other acts that satisfy the ov~rall intent may be included. Hostile Action should not be construed to include acts of civil disobedience or felonious acts that are not part of a concerted attack on IPEC. Non-terrorism-based EALs should be used to address such activities, (e.g., violent acts between individuals in the owner controlled area).

  • Hostile Force One or more individuals who are engaged in a determined assault, overtly or by stealth and deception, equipped with suitable weapons capable of killing, maiming, or causing destruction.

Imminent Mitigation actions have been ineffective, additional actions are not expected to be successful, and trended information indicates that the event or condition will occur. Where imminent timeframes are specified, they shall apply. Inoperable Not able to perform its intended function Intruder Person(s) present in a specified area without authorization. Intrusion The act of entering without authorization Discovery of a bomb in a specified area is indication of intrusion into that area by a hostile force. Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) A complex that is designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials associated with spent fuel storage .

PROCEDURES REFERENCE USE Page 29 of 320 Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Bases Category A - Abnormal Rad Release / Rad Effluent EAL Group: ANY (EALs in this category are applicable to any plant condition, hot or cold.) Many EALs are based on actual or potential degradation of fission product barriers because of the elevated potential for offsite radioactivity release. Degradation of fission product barriers though is not always apparent via non-radiological symptoms. Therefore, direct indication of elevated radiological effluents or area radiation levels are appropriate symptoms for emergency classification. At lower levels, abnormal radioactivity releases may be indicative of a failure of containment systems or precursors to more significant releases. At higher release rates, offsite radiological conditions may result which require offsite protective actions. Elevated area radiation levels in

  • plant may also be indicative of the failure of containment systems or preclude access to plant vital equipment necessary to ensure plant safety.

Events of this category pertain to the following subcategories: 1 . Offsite Rad Conditions Direct indication of effluent radiation monitoring systems provides a rapid assessment mechanism to determine releases in excess of classifiable limits. Projected offsite doses, actual offsite field measurements or measured release rates via sampling indicate doses or dose rates above classifiable limits.

2. Onsite Rad Conditions & Irradiated Fuel Events Sustained general area radiation levels in excess of those indicating loss of control of radioactive materials or those levels which may preclude access to vital plant areas also warrant emergency classification.
3. CR/CAS Radiation Sustained general area radiation levels in excess of 15 mR/hr. may preclude access to areas requiring continuous occupancy also warrant emergency classification .

Nuclear power plants incorporate features intended to control the release of radioactive effluents to the environment. Further, there are administrative controls established to prevent unintentional releases, or control and monitor intentional releases. The occurrence of extended, uncontrolled radioactive releases to the environment is indicative of a degradation in these features and/or controls. The release rate multiples are specified in EALs AU1 .1 and AA 1.1 only to distinguish between non-emergency conditions, and from each other. While these multiples obviously correspond to an off-site dose or dose rate, the emphasis in classifying these events is the degradation in

  • the level of safety of the plant, not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate.

This EAL addresses radioactivity releases, that for whatever reason, cause effluent radiation monitor readings to exceed the threshold identified. This EAL is intended for sites that have established effluent monitoring on non-routine release pathways for which a discharge permit would not normally be prepared. IPEC Basis: Gaseous releases in excess of two times the site ODCM (ref. 1) instantaneous limits that continue for 60 minutes or longer represent an uncontrolled situation and hence, a potential degradation in the level of safety. The final integrated dose (which is very low in the Unusual Event emergency class) is not the primary concern here; it is the degradation in plant control implied by the fact that the release was not isolated within 60 minutes. The values shown for each monitor represents two times the calculated ODCM release rates (ref. 2) .

While these multiples obviously correspond to an off-site dose or dose rate, the emphasis in classifying these events is the degradation in the level of safety of the plant, not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate.

Releases should not be prorated or averaged. For example, a release exceeding 4x ODCM for 30 minutes does not meet the threshold. This EAL includes any release for which a radioactivity discharge permit was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm set-points, etc.) on the applicable permit. This EAL addresses uncontrolled releases that are detected by sample analyses, particularly on unmonitored pathways, e.g., spills of radioactive liquids into storm drains, heat exchanger

The occurrence of extended, uncontrolled radioactive releases to the environment is indicative of a degradation in these features and/or controls. The release rate multiples are specified in AU1 . 1 and AA1 .1 only to distinguish between non-emergency conditions, and from each other. While these multiples obviously correspond to an off-site dose or dose rate, the emphasis in classifying these events is the degradation in the level of safety of the plant, not the magnitude of the associated dose or dose rate. This EAL includes any release for which a radioactivity discharge permit was not prepared, or a release that exceeds the conditions (e.g., minimum dilution flow, maximum discharge flow, alarm set-points, etc.) on the applicable permit. This EAL is intended for sites that have established effluent monitoring on non-routine release pathways for which a discharge permit would not normally be prepared. IPEC Basis: The selected threshold value for the Plant Vent radiation monitors represents the geometric mean between the calculated UE threshold and SAE threshold values (ref. 2). This is due to the differences in the assumptions used to determine the ODCM (ref. 1) based alarm set-points and the dose assessment methodology used to calculate the SAE and GE thresholds for this release path. Selecting an average between the UE and SAE threshold values provides a realistic near-linear escalation path between the UE and SAE classification levels. IPEC Basis Reference(s):

All NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL addresses increased radiation levels as a result of water level decreases above irradiated fuel or events that have resulted, or may result, in unplanned increases in radiation dose rates within plant buildings. These radiation increases represent a loss of control over radioactive material and represent a potential degradation in the level of safety of the plant. Indications may include instrumentation such as water level and local area radiation monitors, and personnel (e.g., refueling crew) reports. If available, video cameras may allow remote observation. Depending on available level instrumentation, the declaration threshold may need to be based on indications of water makeup rate or decrease in water storage tank level. In light of Reactor Cavity Seal failure incidents at two different PWRs and loss of water in the Spent Fuel Pit/Fuel Transfer Canal at a BWR, explicit coverage of these types of events via this threshold is appropriate given their potential for increased doses to plant staff.

While a radiation monitor could detect an increase in dose rate due to a drop in the water level, it might not be a reliable indication of whether or not the fuel is covered.

For example, a refueling bridge ARM reading may increase due to planned evolutions such as head lift, or even a fuel assembly being raised in the manipulator mast. Also, a monitor could in fact be properly responding to a known event involving transfer or relocation of a source, stored in or near the fuel pool or responding to a planned evolution such as removal of the reactor head. Generally, increased radiation monitor indications will need to combined with another indicator (or personnel report) of water loss.

  • via CU2.1. This event escalates to an Alert per AA2.1 if irradiated fuel outside the reactor vessel is uncovered. For events involving irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel, escalation would be via the Fission Product Barrier Table for events in operating modes 1-3.

IPEC Basis: Loss of inventory from the refueling cavity, SFP or fuel transfer canal may reduce water shielding above spent fuel and cause unexpected increases in plant radiation. Classification as an Unusual Event is warranted as a precursor to a more serious event. On Unit 2, the SFP Technical Specification minimum water level is 92' 2". The SFP low water level alarm set-point is 93' 3". Water level restoration instructions for loss of refueling cavity water level during refueling are performed in accordance with 2-AOP-FH-1.

  • All NEI 99-01 Basis:

This EAL addresses increased radiation levels that: impact continued operation in areas requiring continuous occupancy to maintain safe operation or to perform a safe shutdown. The cause and/or magnitude of the increase in radiation levels is not a concern of this EAL. The Emergency Director must consider the source or cause of the increased radiation levels and determine if any other IC may be involved. This EAL is not meant to apply to increases in the containment radiation monitors as these are events which are addressed in the fission product barrier table. The value of 15mR/hr. is derived from the GDC 19 value of 5 rem in 30 days with adjustment for expected occupancy times. Although Section 111.D.3 of NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements", provides that the 15 mR/hr. value can be averaged over the 30 days, the value is used here without averaging, as a 30 day duration implies an event potential!Y more significant than an Alert. I Areas requiring continuous occupancy include the control room and any other control stations that are staffed continuously, such as the security alarm station.

PROCEDURES REFERENCE USE Page 68 of 320 Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Bases Category C - Cold Shutdown / Refueling System Malfunction EAL Group: Cold Conditions (RCS temperatures 200°F); EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more cold operating modes. Category C EALs are directly associated with cold shutdown or refueling system safety functions. Given the variability of plant configurations (e.g., systems out-of-service for maintenance, containment open, reduced AC power redui;idancy, time since shutdown) during these periods, the consequences of any given initiating event can vary greatly. For example, a loss of decay heat removal capability that occurs at the end of an extended outage has less significance than a similar loss occurring during the first week after shutdown. Compounding these events is the likelihood that instrumentation necessary for assessment may also be

  • inoperable. The cold shutdown and refueling system malfunction EALs are based on performance capability to the extent possible with consideration given to RCS integrity, Containment Closure, and fuel clad integrity for the applicable operating modes (4 - Cold Shutdown, 5 - Refuel, D - Defueled).

The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories: 1 . Loss of AC Power Loss of emergency plant electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite sources for 480 VAC safeguards buses .

2. RPV Level RPV water level is a measure of inventory available to ensure adequate core cooling and, therefore, maintain fuel clad integrity. The RPV provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The RPV and associated pressure piping (reactor coolant system) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail.
3. RCS Temperature Uncontrolled or inadvertent temperature or pressure increases are indicative of a potential loss of safety functions.

The condition indicated by this EAL is the degradation of the off-site and on-site AC power systems such that any additional single failure would result in a station blackout. This condition could occur due to a loss of off-site power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency generator to supply power to its emergency busses. The subsequent loss of this single power source would escalate the event to an Alert in accordance with CA 1.1. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power. IPEC Basis: The condition indicated by this EAL would include the degradation of the offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency generator to supply power to its emergency bus .

  • Another related condition could be the loss of all offsite power and loss of onsite emergency diesels with only one train of emergency buses being fed from the unit main generator, or the loss of onsite emergency diesels with only one train of emergency buses being fed from offsite power. The subsequent loss of this single power source would result in a loss of all AC to the 480 V safeguards buses.

Indian Point Unit 2 has a blackout/unit trip/no safety injection logic that opens all the normal supply breakers and locks them out from re-closure. The blackout is sensed by under voltage on either 480V Bus 5A or 6A. The unit trip is sensed by lockout relays 86P and 86BU. Therefore, with 86P or 86BU relays tripped, under voltage on Bus 5A or 6A (a single failure) would cause a loss of all offsite power to the "essential buses." For the condition where all emergency diesel generators are inoperable when the unit is shut down and relays 86P and 86BU are not reset, a loss of power to either 480V Bus 5A or 480V Bus 6A will cause the normal supply breakers to all 480V buses to open. If emergency bus AC power is reduced to a single source for greater than 15 minutes, an Unusual Event is declared under this EAL.

Refueling evolutions that decrease RCS water level below the RPV flange are carefully planned and procedurally controlled. An unplanned event that results in water level decreasing below the RPV flange, or below the planned RCS water level for the given evolution (if the planned RCS water level is already below the RPV flange), warrants declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced RCS inventory that is available to keep the core covered. The allowance of 15 minutes was chosen because it is reasonable to assume that level can be restored within this time frame using one or more of the redundant means of refill that should be available. If level cannot be restored in this time frame then it may indicate a more serious condition exists. Continued loss of RCS Inventory will result in escalation to the Alert emergency classification level via either CA2.1 or CA3.1 .

In cold shutdown the RCS will normally be intact and standard RCS inventory and level monitoring means are available. In the refueling mode the RCS is not intact and RPV level and inventory are monitored by different means. This EAL involves a decrease in RCS level below the top of the RPV flange that continues for 15 minutes due to an unplanned event.

6 - Refueling NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL is a precursor of more serious conditions and considered to be a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant. Refueling evolutions that decrease RPV water level below the RPV flange are carefully planned and proc.edurally controlled. An unplanned event that results in water level decreasing below the RPV flange, or below the planned RPV water level for the given evolution (if the planned RPV water level is already below the RPV flange), warrants declaration of an Unusual Event due to the reduced RCS inventory that is available to keep the core covered. The allowance of 15 minutes was chosen because it is reasonable to assume that level can be restored within this time frame using one or more of the redundant means of refill that should be available. If level cannot be restored in this time frame then it may indicate a more serious condition exists .

5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling NEI 99-01 Basis: This EAL serves as precursors to a loss of ability to adequately cool the fuel. The magnitude of I this loss of water indicates that makeup systems have not been effective and may not be capable of preventing further RPV level decrease and potential core uncovery. This condition will result in a minimum emergency classification level of an Alert. The Bottom ID of the RCS loop was chosen because at this level remote RCS level indication may be lost and loss of suction to decay heat removal systems has occurred. The Bottom ID of the RCS loop is the level equal to the bottom of the RPV loop penetration (not the low point of

  • the loop).]

  • Erratic Source Range Monitor indication: Post-TM! studies indicate that the installed nuclear instrumentation will operate erratically when the core is uncovered and source range monitors can be used as a tool for making such determinations. Figure C-4 shows the response of the source range monitor during the first few hours of the TMl-2 accident. The instrument reported an increasing signal about 30 minutes into the accident. At this time, the reactor coolant pumps were running and the core was adequately cooled as indicated by the core outlet thermocouples. Hence, the increasing signal was the result of an increasing two-phase void fraction in the reactor core and vessel down-comer and the reduced shielding that the two-phase mixture provides to the source range monitor (ref. 10, 11 ). The two source range monitor channels indicate the source range neutron flux and startup rate and provide high flux level reactor trip and alarm signals to the reactor control and protection system. They are used at
  • shutdown to provide audible alarms in the reactor containment and central control room of any inadvertent increase in reactivity. An audible count rate signal is used during initial phases of startup and is audible in both the reactor containment and central control room. Mounted on the front panel of the source range channel is a neutron flux level indicator calibrated in terms of count rate level (1 to 106 cps). Mounted on the control board is a neutron count rate level indicator (1 to 106 cps). Isolated neutron flux signals are available for recording by the nuclear instrumentation system recorder and startup rate computation. (ref 12, 13)

Fuel damage is probable if RPV level cannot be restored, as available decay heat will cause boiling, further reducing the RPV level. With the containment breached or challenged then the potential for unmonitored fission product release to the environment is high. This represents a direct path for radioactive inventory to be released to the environment. This is consistent with the definition of a GE. The GE is declared on the

  • occurrence of the loss or imminent loss of function of all three barriers.

A number of variables can have a significant impact on heat removal capability challenging the fuel clad barrier. Examples include mid-loop, reduced level/flange level, head in place, cavity flooded, RCS venting strategy, decay heat removal system design, vortexing pre-disposition, steam generator U-tube draining. Analysis indicates that core damage may occur within an hour following continued core uncovery therefore, 30 minutes was conservatively chosen.

  • If containment closure is re-established prior to exceeding the 30 minute core uncovery time limit then escalation to GE would not occur.

In the early stages of a core uncovery event, it is unlikely that hydrogen buildup due to a core uncovery could result in an explosive mixture of dissolved gasses in containment. However, containment monitoring and/or sampling should be performed to verify this assumption and a General Emergency declared if it is determined that an explosive mixture exists. IPEC Basis: Unit 2 RCS elevations are illustrated in Figure C-3 (ref. 1). Unit 2 RCS level can be monitored by one or more of the following (ref. 1):

  • Barton level system

  • Three indications are associated with a challenge to Containment:
  • Containment closure is the action taken to secure containment and its associated structures, systems, and components as a functional barr:ier to fission product release * ..

under existing plant conditions. As applied to IPEC, Containment Closure is established when Containment Integrity is established per Section 3.9.3 of Technical Specifications. During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies within containment, a release of fission product radioactivity within containment will be restricted from escaping to the environment when the LCO requirements are met. In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, this is accomplished by maintaining containment OPERABLE as described in LCO 3.6.1, "Containment." In Cold Shutdown and Refuel modes, however, the potential for containment pressurization as a result of an accident is not likely; therefore, requirements to isolate the containment from the outside atmosphere can be less stringent. The LCO requirements are referred to as "containment closure" rather than "containment OPERABILITY." (ref. 4)

A combustible mixture can be formed when hydrogen gas concentration in the containment atmosphere is greater than 4% by volume (ref. 5, 6). All hydrogen measurements are referenced to concentrations in dry air even though the actual containment environment may contain significant steam concentrations. Unit 2 Containment hydrogen analyzers AIT-5109-1 and AIT-5109-1 display hydrogen concentration and alarm at 4% hydrogen concentration (ref. 9). For Unit 3, The Containment Hydrogen Concentration Measurement System is used to monitor the post-accident hydrogen concentration. Two redundant sample systems are installed.

One unit samples the plenum chambers of containment recirculation fans 32 and 35. The second unit samples the plenum chambers of recirculation fans 31, 33 and 34. (ref. 10) An unplanned pressurization that can breach the containment barrier signifies a challenge to the containment pressure retaining capability which is dependent on the status of the containment. If containment integrity is established for full power operation, a breach could occur if the design containment pressure is exceeded (47 psig). For this condition, a small unplanned pressure rise above atmospheric pressure does not challenge containment. If in refueling operations, however, a breach could occur if the unplanned pressure rise exceeded the capability of a temporary containment seal. This would occur at a much lower pressure than the containment design pressure. Use of the verb "... can breach ... : instead of "breaches" provides the Emergency Director with the latitude to assess the magnitude and rate of the containment pressure rise with respect to the barrier status (for the existing operating mode) and determine that the containment challenge exists due to elevated pressure either before or at the time that the actual breach of the barrier occurs.

5 - Cold Shutdown, 6 - Refueling NEI 99-01 Basis: The first condition of this EAL addresses events in which RCS temperature exceeds the CU3.1 EAL threshold of 200 °F (ref. 1) for the durations identified in Table C-3. Table C-3 duration #3 addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling during Refuel and Cold Shutdown modes when neither containment closure nor RCS integrity are established. RCS integrity is in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the Cold Shutdown mode of operation. No delay time is allowed for duration #3 because the evaporated reactor coolant that may be released into the containment during this heat up condition could also be directly released to the environment. Table C-3 duration #2 addresses the complete loss of functions required for core cooling for > 20 minutes during Refuel and Cold Shutdown mooes when containment closure is established but RCS integrity is not established. RCS integiity should be assumed to be in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the Cold Shutdown mode of operation. The allowed 20 minute time frame was included to allow operator action to restore the heat removal function, if possible. The allowed time frame is consistent with the guidance provided by Generic Letter 88-17, "Loss of Decay Heat Removal" and is believed to be conservative given that a low pressure containment barrier to fission product release is established. The table note indicates that this duration is not applicable if actions are successful in restoring an RCS heat removal system to operation and RCS temperature is being reduced within the 20 minute time frame. Table C-3 duration #1 addresses complete loss of functions required for core cooling for greater than 60 minutes during Refuel and Cold Shutdown modes when RCS integrity is established. As in duration #2 and #3, RCS integrity should be considered to be in place when the RCS pressure boundary is in its normal condition for the cold shutdown mode of operation. The status of containment closure in this EAL is immaterial given that the RCS is providing a high pressure barrier to fission product release to the environment. The 60 minute time frame

The 10 psig pressure increase covers situations where, due to high decay heat loads, the time provided to restore temperature control, should be less than 60 minutes. The table note indicates that duration #1 is not applicable if actions are successful in restoring an RCS heat removal system to operation and RCS temperature is being reduced within the 60 minute time frame assuming that the RCS pressure increase has remained less than 10 psig. Escalation to Site Area would be via CS1 .1 should boiling result in significant RPV level loss leading to core uncovery. This EAL is based on concerns raised by Generic Letter 88-17, "Loss of Decay Heat Removal." A number of phenomena such as pressurization, vortexing, steam generator U-

  • tube draining, RCS level differences when operating at a mid-loop condition, decay heat removal system design, and level instrumentation problems can lead to conditions where decay heat removal is lost and core uncovery can occur. NRG analyses show that sequences that can cause core uncovery in 15 to 20 minutes and severe core damage within an hour after decay heat removal is lost.

A loss of Technical Specification components alone is not intended to constitute an Alert. The same is true of a momentary unplanned excursion above 200 degrees F when the heat removal function is available. The Emergency Director must remain alert to events or conditions that lead to the conclusion that exceeding the EAL threshold is imminent. If, in the judgment of the Emergency Director, an imminent situation is at hand, the classification should be made as if the threshold has been exceeded.

For Indian Point Unit 2, each 480V bus has an automatic transfer switch to provide alternate DC power supplies to the 480V buses. This DC power is also supplied to 480V motor control centers. With two Residual heat removal (RHR) pumps and two RHR heat exchangers available, only one DC bus is required to provide control to a single train of RHR cooling during shutdown and refueling. With one RHR pump or one RHR heat exchanger isolated for repair, a condition could exist where a loss of a single DC power supply could result in a loss of ability to control decay heat removal. Redundant and alternate indications needed to monitor decay heat removal are powered from different DC sources such that only a loss of all DC power would result in the inability to monitor core cooling status.

The National Earthquake Information Center can confirm if an earthquake has occurred in the area of the plant. IPEC Basis: The method of detection with respect to emergency classification relies on the agreement of the shift operator's on-duty in the Control Room that the suspected ground motion is a "felt earthquake" as well as the actuation of the IPEC seismic instrumentation. Consensus of the Control Room operators with respect to ground motion helps avoid unnecessary classification if the seismic switches inadvertently trip or detect vibrations not related to an earthquake.

This EAL addresses main turbine rotating component failures of sufficient magnitude to cause observable damage to the turbine casing or to the seals of the turbine generator. Generator seal damage observed after generator purge does not meet the intent of this EAL because it did not impact normal operation of the plant. Of major concern is the potential for leakage of combustible fluids (lubricating oils) and gases (hydrogen cooling) to the plant environs.

The turbine generator stores large amounts of rotational kinetic energy in its rotor. In the unlikely event of a major mechanical failure, this energy may be transformed into both rotational and translational energy of rotor fragments. These fragments may impact the surrounding stationary parts. If the energy-absorbing capability of these stationary turbine generator parts is insufficient, external missiles will be released. These ejected missiles may impact various plant structures, including those housing safety related equipment. In the event of missile ejection, the probability of a strike on a plant region is a function of the energy and direction of an ejected missile and of the orientation of the turbine with respect to the plant region.

As used in this EAL, affecting normal plant operations means that activities at the plant site associated with routine testing, maintenance, or equipment operations, in accordance with normal operating or administrative procedures have been impacted. Entry into abnormal or emergency operating procedures, or deviation from normal security or radiological controls posture, is a departure from normal plant operations and thus would be considered to have been affected. The release may have originated within the Site Boundary, or it may have originated offsite and subsequently drifted onto the Site Boundary. Offsite events (e.g., tanker truck accident releasing toxic gases, etc.) resulting in the plant being within the evacuation area should also be considered in this EAL because of the adverse effect on normal plant operations.

  • Some gases are toxic by their very nature. Others, like carbon dioxide, can be lethal if it reduces oxygen to low concentrations (asphyxiant) that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). Oxygen deficient atmospheres (less than 19.5% oxygen) are considered IDLH (ref. 1). NRG position is that anytime carbon dioxide is discharged in plant areas such thaf the area becomes uninhabitable, regardless of whether anyone is in the areas, conditions for classification exist. The EAL assumes an uncontrolled process that has the potential to affect plant operations or personnel safety. Releases occurring during planned surveillance activities or planned maintenance/tag-out activities, therefore, are excluded.

Should the release affect access to plant Safe Shutdown Areas, escalation to an Alert would be based on EAL HA3.1. Should an explosion or fire occur due to flammable gas within an affected plant area, an Alert may be appropriate based on EAL HA2.1. IPEC Basis Reference(s): None

An asphyxiant is a gas capable of reducing the level of oxygen in the body to dangerous levels. Most commonly, asphyxiants work by merely displacing air in an enclosed environment. This reduces the concentration of oxygen below the normal level of around 19%, which can lead to breathing difficulties, unconsciousness or even death. An uncontrolled release of flammable gasses within a facility structure has the potential to affect safe operation of the plant by limiting either operator or equipment operations due to the potential for ignition and resulting equipment damage/personnel injury. Flammable gasses, such as hydrogen and acetylene, are routinely used to maintain plant systems (hydrogen) or to

HS5.1 Site Area Emergency Control Room evacuation has been initiated AND Control of the plant cannot be established within 15 min. Mode Applicability: All NEI 99-01 Basis:

  • The intent of this EAL is to capture those events where control of the plant cannot be reestablished in a timely manner. In this case, expeditious transfer of control of safety systems has not occurred (although fission product barrier damage may not yet be indicated).

The intent of the EAL is to establish control of important plant equipment and knowledge of important plant parameters in a timely manner. Primary emphasis should be placed on those components and instruments that supply protection for and information about safety functions. Typically, these safety functions are reactivity control, RCS inventory, and secondary heat removal. The determination of whether or not control is established at the remote shutdown panel is based on Emergency Director (ED) judgment. The Emergency Director is expected to make a reasonable, informed judgment within the site specific time for transfer (15 min.) that the Shift Manager has control of the plant from the remote shutdown panel. Escalation of this emergency classification level, if appropriate, would be by Fission Product Barrier Degradation or Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological Effluent EALs .

REFERENCE USE Page Attachment 1 - Emergency Action Level Bases 191 Revision 20 of 320 Category S - System Malfunction EAL Group: Hot Conditions (RCS temperature > 200°F); EALs in this category are applicable only in one or more hot operating modes. Numerous system-related equipment failure events that warrant emergency classification have been identified in this category. They may pose actual or potential threats to plant safety. The events of this category pertain to the following subcategories:

1. Loss of AC Power Loss of emergency AC electrical power can compromise plant safety system operability including decay heat removal and emergency core cooling systems which may be necessary to ensure fission product barrier integrity. This category includes loss of onsite and offsite sources for 480 VAC safeguards buses.
2. ATWSJ Criticality Events related to failure of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) to initiate and complete reactor trips. In the plant licensing basis, postulated failures of the RPS to complete a
   . reactor trip comprise a specific set of analyzed events referred to as Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) events. For EAL classification however, ATWS is intended to mean any trip failure event that does not achieve reactor shutdown. If RPS actuation fails to assure reactor shutdown, positive control of reactivity is at risk and could cause a threat to Fuel Clad, RCS and Containment integrity. Inadvertent criticalities pose potential personnel safety hazards as well being indicative of losses of reactivity control.
3. Inability to Reach Shutdown Conditions One EAL falls into this subcategory. It is related to the failure of the plant to be brought to the required plant operating condition required by technical specifications if a limiting condition for operation (LCO) is not met.

4. Instrumentation / Communications Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively assess plant conditions within the plant warrant emergency classification. Loss of annunciators or indicators is in this subcategory.

Certain events that degrade plant operator ability to effectively communicate with essential personnel within or external to the plant warrant emergency classification.

5. Fuel Clad Degradation During normal operation, reactor coolant fission product activity is very low. Small concentrations :of fission products in the coolant are primarily from the fission of tramp uranium in the fuel clad or minor perforations in the clad itself. Any significant increase from these base-line levels (2% - 5% clad failures) is indicative of fuel failures and is covered under the Fission Product Barrier Degradation category. However, lesser amounts of clad damage may result in coolant activity exceeding Technical Specification limits. These fission products will be circulated with the reactor coolan't and can be detected by coolant sampling.
6. RCS Leakage The Reactor Vessel provides a volume for the coolant that covers the reactor core. The Reactor Vessel and associated pressure piping (reactor coolant system) together provide a barrier to limit the release of radioactive material should the reactor fuel clad integrity fail.

Excessive RCS leakage greater than Technical Specification limits are utilized to indicate potential pipe cracks that may propagate to an extent threatening fuel clad, RCS and Containment integrity .

Prolonged loss of off-site AC power reduces required redundancy and potentially degrades the level of safety of the plant by rendering the plant more vulnerable to a complete loss of AC power to emergency buses. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of off-site power. IPEC Basis: The 15-minute interval was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. If neither emergency bus is energized by an offsite source within 15 minutes, an Unusual Event is declared under this EAL.

This EAL is intended to provide an escalation from EAL SU.1.1 The condition indicated by this EAL is the degradation of the off-site and on-site AC power systems such that any additional single failure would result in a loss of all AC power to the safeguards buses. This condition could occur due to a loss of off-site power with a concurrent failure of two emergency generators to supply power to their emergency buses. Another related condition could be the loss of all off-site power and loss of on-site emergency generators with only one train of emergency buses being back fed from the unit main generator, or the loss of on-site emergency generators with only one train of emergency buses being back-fed from off-site power. The subsequent loss of this single power source would escalate the event to a Site Area Emergency in accordance with SS1 .1.

  • Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of power.

IPEC Basis: The 15-minute interval was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary power losses. If the capability of a second source of emergency bus power is not restored within 15 minutes, an Alert is declared under this EAL. The condition indicated by this EAL would include the degradation of the offsite power with a concurrent failure of all but one emergency generator to supply power to its emergency bus. Another related condition could be the loss of all offsite power and loss of onsite emergency diesels with only one train of emergency buses being fed from the unit main generator, or the loss of onsite emergency diesels with only one train of emergency buses being fed from offsite power. The subsequent loss of this single power source would result in a loss of all AC to the 480 V safeguards buses. Indian Point Unit 2 has a blackout/unit trip/no safety injection logic that opens all the normal supply breakers and locks them out from re-closure. The blackout is sensed by under voltage on either 480V Bus 5A or 6A. The unit trip is sensed by lockout relays 86P and 86BU.

Prolonged loss of all AC power to safeguards buses will lead to loss of Fuel Clad, RCS, and Containment, thus this event can escalate to a General Emergency. Fifteen minutes was selected as a threshold to exclude transient or momentary losses of off-site power. Escalation to General Emergency is via Fission Product Barrier Degradation or EAL SG1 .1. IPEC Basis: This EAL is the hot condition equivalent of the cold condition loss of all AC power EAL CA 1.1. When in Cold Shutdown, Refuel, or Defueled mode, the event can be classified as an Alert

  • because of the significantly reduced decay heat, lower temperature and pressure, increasing the time to restore one of the emergency buses, relative to that existing when in hot conditions.

Prolonged loss of all AC power to safeguards buses will lead to loss of fuel clad, RCS, and containment, thus warranting declaration of a General Emergency. The four hours to restore AC power is based on a site blackout coping analysis performed in conformance with 10 CFR 50.63 and Regulatory Guide 1.155, "Station Blackout" Although this EAL may be viewed as redundant to the Fission Product Barrier Degradation EALs, its inclusion is necessary to better assure timely recognition and emergency response. This EAL is specified to assure that in the unlikely event of a prolonged loss of all safeguards bus AC power, timely recognition of the seriousness of the event occurs and that declaration of

  • a General Emergency occurs as early as is appropriate, based on a reasonable assessment of the event trajectory.

The likelihood of restoring at least one safeguards bus should be based on a realistic appraisal of the situation since a delay in an upgr~de decision based on only a chance of mitigating the event could result in a loss of valuable time in preparing and implementing public protective actions. In addition, under these conditions, fission product barrier monitoring capability may be degraded. Although it may be difficult to predict when power can be restored, it is necessary to give the Emergency Director a reasonable idea of how quickly (s)he may need to declare a General Emergency based on two major considerations:

1. Are there any present indications that core cooling is already degraded to the point that loss or potential loss of Fission Product Barriers is imminent?

  • If there are no present indications of such core cooling degradation, how likely is it that power can be restored in time to assure that a loss of two barriers with a potential loss of the third barrier can be prevented?

Thus, indication of continuing core cooling degradation must be based on Fission Product Barrier monitoring with particular emphasis on Emergency Director judgment as it relates to imminent loss or potential loss of fission product barriers and degraded ability to monitor fission product barriers.

This condition can be identified using startup rate monitors. The term "sustained" is used in order to allow exclusion of expected short term positive startup rates from planned control rod movements such as shutdown bank withdrawal. These short term positive startup rates are the result of the increase in neutron population due to subcritical multiplication. Escalation would be by the Fission Product Barrier Table, as appropriate to the operating mode at the time of the event.

The reactor should be considered shutdown when it producing less heat than the maximum decay heat load for which the safety systems are designed (5% power).

Manual trip actions taken at the reactor control console are any set of actions by the reactor operator(s) which causes or should cause control rods to be rapidly inserted into the core and shuts down the reactor. This condition indicates failure of the automatic protection system to trip the reactor. This condition is more than a potential degradation of a safety system in that a front line automatic protection system did not function in response to a plant transient. Thus the plant safety has been compromised because design limits of the fuel may have been exceeded. An Alert is indicated because conditions may exist that lead to potential loss of fuel clad or RCS and because of the failure of the Reactor Protection System to automatically shut down the plant. If manual actions taken at the reactor control console fail to shut down the reactor, the event

CSFST Sub-criticality - RED path is entered based on > 5% reactor power following a reactor trip (ref. 1). A reactor trip is automatically initiated by the Reactor Protection System (RPS) when certain continuously monitored parameters exceed predetermined set-points. Following a successful reactqr trip, rapid insertion of the control rods occurs. Nuclear power promptly drops to a few Rercent of the original power level and then decays to a level some 8 decades less at a startup rate of about-1/3 DPM. The reactor power drop continues until reactor power reaches the point at which the influence of source neutrons on reactor power starts to be observable. A predictable post-trip response from an automatic reactor trip signal should therefore consist of a prompt drop in reactor power as sensed by the nuclear

  • instrumentation and a negative startup rate as nuclear power drops into the source range .

If expected shutdown responses cannot be verified, operators perform contingency actions that manually insert control rods, opening the reactor trip and bypass breakers. Local opening of these breakers requires actions outside of the Control Room; rapid control rod insertion by these methods is therefore not considered a "successful" manual reactor trip. For purposes of emergency classification, a "successful" manual reactor trip, therefore, includes only those immediate actions taken by the reactor operator in the Control Room which are the manual reactor trip switches. These switches and controls can be rapidly manipulated from the Control Room. (ref. 2, 3) In the event that the operator identifies a reactor trip is imminent and successfully initiates a manual reactor trip before the automatic trip set-point is reached, no declaration is required. The successful manual trip of the reactor before it reaches its automatic trip set-point or reactor trip signals caused by instrumentation channel failures do not lead to a potential fission product barrier loss. If manual reactor trip actions in the Control Room fail to reduce reactor power below the power associated with the safety system design ( < 5% ), the event escalates

If emergency feed-water flow is insufficient to remove the amount of heat required by design from at least one steam generator, an extreme challenge should be considered to exist. This equates to a HEAT Sink RED condition. If CETs indicate> 1200° For are> 700 (715) ° F with RVLIS < 41 (33) % a condition indicative of severe challenge to heat removal also exists.

In the event this challenge exists at a time when the reactor has not been brought below the

For this reason, the General Emergency declaration is intended to be anticipatory of the fission product barrier matrix declaration to permit maximum offsite intervention time.

The primary fission product barriers are: A. Reactor Fuel Clad (FC): The zirconium tubes which house the ceramic uranium oxide

  • pellets along with t~e* end plugs which are welded into each end of the fuel rods comprise the fuel clad.

B. Reactor Coolant System (RCS): The Reactor Vessel shell, vessel head, vessel nozzles and penetrations and all primary systems directly connected to the Reactor Vessel up to the first isolation valve comprise the RCS. C. Containment (CNMT): The vapor Containment structure and all isolation valves required to maintain Containment integrity under accident conditions comprise the Containment barrier. The EALs in this. category require evaluation of the loss and potential loss thresholds listed in the fission product barrier matrix of Table F-1 (Attachment 2). "Loss" and "Potential Loss" signify the relative damage and threat of damage to the barrier. "Loss" means the barrier no longer assures containment of radioactive materials. "Potential Loss" means integrity of the barrier is threatened and could be lost if conditions continue to degrade. The number of barriers that are lost or potentially lost and the following criteria determine the appropriate emergency classification level:

  • The Fuel Clad barrier and the RCS barrier are weighted more heavily than the Containment barrier. UE EALs associated with RCS and Fuel Clad barriers are addressed under System Malfunction EALs .

At the Site Area Emergency level, there must be some ability to dynamically assess how far present conditions are from the threshold for a General Emergency. For example, if Fuel Clad and RCS barrier "loss" EALs existed, that, in addition to offsite dose assessments, would require continual assessments of radioactive inventory and containment integrity. Alternatively, if both Fuel Clad and RCS barrier "Potential Loss" EALs existed, the Emergency Director would have more assurance that there was no immediate need to escalate to a General Emergency.

  • The ability to escalate to higher emergency classes as an event deteriorates must be maintained. For example, RCS leakage steadily increasing would represent an increasing risk to public health and safety.

Fission Product Barrier EALs must be capable of addressing event dynamics. Imminent Loss or Potential Loss should result in a classification as if the affected threshold(s) are already exceeded, particularly for the higher emergency classes. Determine which combination of the three barriers are lost or have a potential loss (Figure F-1) and use FU 1 .1 , FA 1 .1, FS 1.1 and FG 1.1 to classify the event. Also an event for multi pie

  • One barrier loss and a second barrier potential loss (i.e., loss - potential loss)

The table is structured so that each of the three barriers occupies adjacent columns. Each fission product barrier column is further divided into two columns; one for Loss thresholds and one for Potential Loss thresholds.

The first column of the table (to the left of the Fuel Clad Loss column) lists the categories (types) of fission product barrier thresholds. The fission product barrier categories are: A. CSFST B. Core Exit T/Cs

  • C. Radiation D. Inventory E. Other F. Judgment Each category occupies a row in Table F-1 thus forming a matrix defined by the categories.

The intersection of each row with each Loss/Potential Loss column forms a cell in which one or more fission product barrier thresholds appear. If NEI 99-01 does not define a threshold for a barrier Loss/Potential Loss, the word "None" is entered in the cell. Thresholds are assigned sequential numbers within each Loss and Potential Loss column beginning with number one. In this manner, a threshold can be identified by its category title and number. For example, the first Fuel Clad barrier Loss in Category A would be assigned "FC Loss A.1," the third Containment barrier Potential Loss would be assigned "CMNT P-Loss 8.3," etc .

PROCEDURES REFERENCE USE Page 256 Revision 20 Attachment 2 - Fission Product Barrier Loss/Potential Loss Matrix and Bases of 320 If a cell in Table F-1 contains more than one numbered threshold, each of the numbered thresholds, if exceeded, signifies a Loss or Potential Loss of the barrier. It is not necessary to exceed all of the thresholds in a category before declaring a barrier Loss/Potential Loss. Subdivision of Table F-1 by category facilitates association of plant conditions to the applicable fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds. This structure promotes a systematic approach to assessing the classification status of the fission product barriers. When equipped with knowledge of plant conditions related to the fission product barriers, the EAL-user first scans down the category column of Table F-1, locates the likely category and then reads across the fission product barrier Loss and Potential Loss thresholds in that category to determine if a threshold has been exceeded. If a threshold has not been exceeded, the EAL-user proceeds to the next likely category and continues review of the thresholds in the new category If the EAL-user determines that any threshold has been exceeded, by definition, the barrier is lost or potentially lost- even if multiple thresholds in the same barrier column are exceeded, only that one barrier is lost or potentially lost. The EAL-user must examine each of the three fission product barriers to determine if other barrier thresholds in the category are lost or potentially lost. For example, if containment radiation is sufficiently high, a Loss of the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers and a Potential Loss of the Containment barrier can occur. Barrier Losses and Potential Losses are then applied to the algorithms given in EALs FG1 .1, FS1 .1, FA1 .1 and FU1 .1 to determine the appropriate emergency classification. In the remainder of this Attachment, the Fuel Clad barrier threshold bases appear first, followed by the RCS barrier and finally the Containment barrier threshold bases. In each barrier, the bases are given according category Loss followed by category Potential Loss beginning with Category A, then B, ... ,E.

The specified value for the potential loss threshold corresponds to the top of the active fuel. IPEC Basis:

  • The reactor vessel water level used in this EAL is the value corresponds to the level which is used in CSFSTs to indicate challenge to core cooling and loss of the fuel clad barrier. This is the minimum water level to assure core cooling without further degradation of the clad. Severe core damage can occur and reactor coolant system pressure boundary integrity may not be assured if reactor vessel water level is not maintained above that corresponding to RVLIS at 41 % [33%] wl no RCPs running (Unit 2 Dynamic range: < 44% w/ 4 RCPs, < 30% w/ 3 RCPs,
 < 20% w/ 2 RCPs, < 13% w/ 1 RCPs). RVLIS dynamic range indications are not utilized in this EAL since the RCPs would not be running under conditions where vessel level is approaching the inadequate core cooling condition.

The loss of sub-cooling is the fundamental indication that the inventory control systems are inadequate in maintaining RCS pressure and inventory against the mass loss through the leak. This threshold addresses conditions in which leakage from the RCS is greater than available inventory control capacity such that a loss of sub-cooling has occurred. 2[3]-AOP-Leak-1, Sudden Increase in RCS Leakage (ref. 2), provides a list of conditions that may be observed when excessive RCS leakage occurs and provides appropriate actions to prevent and mitigate the consequences of RCS leakage.

This threshold addresses the full spectrum of Steam Generator (SG) tube rupture events in conjunction with containment barrier Loss thresholds. It addresses ruptured SG(s) for which the leakage is large enough to cause actuation of ECCS (SI). This is consistent with the RCS leak rate barrier Potential Loss threshold . This condition is described by entry into 2[3]-E-3 SGTR required by EOPs. By itself, this threshold will result in the declaration of an Alert. However, if the SG is also faulted (i.e., two barriers failed), the declaration escalates to a Site Area Emergency per containment barrier Loss thresholds. IPEC Basis: In conjunction with Containment barrier Loss #3 and the Fuel Clad barrier thresholds, this threshold addresses the full spectrum of Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) events. To meet this threshold, the leakage must be large enough to require actuation of ECCS (SI). ECCS (SI) actuation is caused by: o Low-low pressurizer pressure o High steam-line pressure differential between the steam generators

This threshold is based on the apparent inability to maintain normal liquid inventory within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) by normal operation of the Chemical and Volume Control System which is considered to be the flow rate equivalent to one charging pump discharging to the charging header. Isolating letdown is a standard abnormal operating procedure action and may prevent unnecessary classifications when a non-RCS leakage path such as a eves leak exists. The intent of this condition is met if attempts to isolate Letdown are not successful. Additional charging pumps being required is indicative of a substantial RCS leak.

I 1. Containment-RED entry conditions met NEI 99-01 Basis: RED path indicates an extreme challenge to the safety function derived from appropriate instrument readings and/or sampling results, and thus represents a potential loss of containment. Conditions leading to a containment RED path result from RCS barrier and/or Fuel Clad Barrier Loss. Thus, this threshold is primarily a discriminator between Site Area Emergency and General Emergency representing a potential loss of the third barrier. IPEC Basis: RED path is entered based on exceeding containment design pressure of 47 psig (ref. 1). This pressure is well in excess of that expected from the design basis loss of coolant accident (ref. 1, 2, 3). This is indicative of a loss of both RCS and fuel clad boundaries in that it is not possible to reach this condition without also being in a Heat Sink-RED or Core Cooling-RED CSFST. The source of energy must be the result of severe degradation of core cooling or loss of heat sink. Since containment pressures at or approaching design levels is also a potential loss of containment, this combination of conditions is expected to require the declaration of a General Emergency.

In conjunction with the Core Cooling and RCS Leakage criteria in the Fuel and RCS barrier columns, this threshold would result in the declaration of a General Emergency -- loss of two barriers and the potential loss of a third. If the function restoration procedures are ineffective, there is no "success" path. The function restoration procedures are those emergency operating procedures that address the recovery of the core cooling critical safety functions. The procedure is considered effective if the temperature is decreasing. 1 Severe accident analyses (e.g., NUREG-1150) have concluded that function restoration procedures can arrest core degradation within the reactor vessel in a significant fraction of the core damage scenarios, and that the likelihood of containment failure is very small in these events. Given this, it is appropriate to provide a reasonable period to allow function restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence. Whether or not the procedures will be effective should be apparent within 15 minutes. The Emergency Director should make the declaration as soon as it is determined that the

If core exit thermocouple (TC) readings are greater than 1,200°F, Fuel Clad barrier is lost. Core exit TCs provide an indirect in9ication of fuel clad temperature by measuring the temperature of the primary coolant *that leaves the core region. Although clad rupture due to high temperature is not expected for core exit TC readings less than the threshold, temperatures of this magnitude signal significant superheating of the reactor coolant and core uncovery. Events that result in core exit TC readings above the loss threshold are severe accidents and are a severe accident Management "Badly Damaged (BD)" condition. The BD descriptor signifies possible core overheating to the point that clad ballooning/collapse may occur and portions of the core may have melted. It must also be assumed that the loss of RCS inventory is a result of a loss of

The procedure is considered effective if the temperature is decreasing or if the vessel water level is increasing. Severe accident analyses (e.g., NUREG-1150) have concluded that function restoration procedures can arrest core degradation within the reactor vessel in a significant fraction of the core damage scenarios, and that the likelihood of containment failure is very small in these events. Given this, it is appropriate to provide a reasonable period to allow function restoration procedures to arrest the core melt sequence .

The Emergency Director should make the declaration as soon as it is determined that the procedures have been, or will be ineffective. IPEC Basis: This threshold indicates significant core exit superheating (core exit TC readings >700°F [715

 °F] and core uncovery. It must be assumed that the loss of RCS inventory is a result of a loss of the RCS barrier. If RVLIS is reading greater than or equal to the 41 % (33% ), safety injection has been successful in restoring RCS inventory and core cooling. In the event that RVLIS reads less than 41 % [33%], core cooling continues to be degraded. It must also be assumed that the loss of RCS inventory is a result of a loss of RCS barrier. These conditions, if not mitigated, will likely lead to core melt which will in turn result in a challenge of Containment.

NEI 99-01 Basis: The site specific reading is a value which indicates significant fuel damage well in excess of the thresholds associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of RCS barriers. A major release of radioactivity requiring off-site protective actions from core damage is not possible unless a major failure of fuel cladding allows radioactive material to be released from the core into the reactor coolant. Regardless of whether containment is challenged, this amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment, such that a General Emergency declaration is warranted. IPEC Basis: NOTE: At Unit 3 radiation monitors R-25 and R-26 are susceptible to Temperature Induced Current which could cause erroneous readings for the first 3 minutes of an event with a large temperature change in the VG. R-25 and R-26 readings should be validated against other radiation monitors, R-2 and R-7, for erroneous readings during this timeframe .

The inclusion of a threshold that uses Emergency Procedure commonly used terms like "ruptured and faulted" adds to the ease of the classification process and has been included based on this human factor concern.

47 psig is the containment design pressure. IPEC Basis:

  • This threshold is the containment design pressure and is in excess of that expected from the design basis loss of coolant accident (LOCA). Proper actuation and operation of the Containment heat removal system when required should maintain containment pressure well below the design pressure. The Containment response for the spectrum of LOCAs considered in the plant design basis is described in Chapter 14 of the FSAR (ref. 2). The threshold is therefore indicative of a loss of both RCS and Fuel Clad barriers in that it should not be reached without severe core degradation (metal-water reaction) or failure to trip in combination with RCS breach. This condition would be expected to require the declaration of a General Emergency.

6. Containment hydrogen concentration:::. 4%

NEI 99-01 Basis: Existence of an explosive mixture means a hydrogen and oxygen concentration of at least the lower deflagration limit curve exists. The indications of potential loss under this EAL corresponds to some of those leading to the RED path in potential loss threshold #1 (ref. 1). IPEC Basis: After a LOCA, the containment atmosphere is a homogeneous mixture of steam, air, solid and gaseous fission products, hydrogen, and water droplets. During and following a LOCA, the hydrogen concentration in the containment results from radio lytic decomposition of water and metal-water reaction. If hydrogen concentration reaches or exceeds the lower flammability limit (4%, ref. 3) in an oxygen rich environment, a potentially explosive mixture exists. Operation of the Containment Hydrogen Re-combiner with Containment hydrogen concentrations at or above 4% could result in ignition of the hydrogen. If the combustible mixture ignites inside containment, loss of the Containment barrier could occur. To generate ( such levels of combustible gas, loss of the Fuel Clad and RCS barriers must also have occurred. Since this threshold is also indicative of loss of both Fuel Clad and RCS barriers with the Potential Loss of the Containment barrier, it therefore will likely warrant declaration of a General Emergency .

IPEC Basis: Adequate heat removal capability for the containment is provided by two separate, full capacity, engineered safety features systems. These are the containment spray system and the containment air recirculation cooling and filtration system. These systems are of different engineering principles and serve as independent backups for each other.

5. Inability to isolate all valves in any one line AND Direct downstream pathway to the environment exists after containment isolation signal NEI 99-01 Basis:

This threshold addresses incomplete containment isolation that allows direct release to the environment. The use of the modifier "direct" in defining the release path discriminates against release paths through interfacing liquid systems. The existence of an in-line charcoal filter does not make a release path indirect since the filter is not effective at removing fission product noble gases. Typical filters have an efficiency of 95-99% removal of iodine. Given the magnitude of the core inventory of iodine, significant releases could still occur. In addition, since the fission product release would be driven by boiling in the reactor vessel, the high humidity in the release stream can be expected to render the filters ineffective in a short period. IPEC Basis: This threshold is intended to address incomplete containment isolation that allows direct downstream release path to the environment. The "inability to isolate all valves in any one line" term is intended to mean that available immediate action has been taken to isolate the system providing a direct release pathway outside containment but has failed. If no immediate action to isolate the system is available at

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Part 1:

Section A: INTRODUCTION Purpose As required by the licensing conditions set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG) this document describes the emergency preparedness program for the Entergy Indian Point Units 1, 2 and 3 Generating Stations (Indian Point Energy Center). The philosophy that guides the development and maintenance of this program is the protection of the health and safety of the general public in the communities around the Indian Point Energy Center units and the personnel who work at the plant. The Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan (Plan) outlines the basis for response actions that would be implemented in an emergency. This document is not intended to be used as a procedure. Detailed Emergency Plan implementing procedures are maintained separately and used to guide those responsible for implementing emergency actions. This Plan documents the methods by which Entergy's Emergency Preparedness Programs meet the criteria set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 50, Section 47(b) and Appendix E. The Plan is applicable to plant conditions that may cause or may threaten to cause radiological hazards at Units 1, 2 or 3 affecting the health and safety of workers or the public or resulting in damage to property. Unit 1 is defueled and only those areas of Unit 1 that either store or process radioactive materials (the Fuel Handling Building and waste

  • storage/process areas in the Chemical Systems Building and the Integrated Liquid Radwaste Systems Building) were considered in evaluating radiological hazards.

This Plan is solely dedicated to Indian Point Energy Center and includes details of how Entergy utilizes its resources to assist the plant operating staff during an emergency situation. Section B: Background Description of the Indian Point Energy Center Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24 miles north of the New York City boundary line, at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan, in upper Westchester County, New York State. The IPEC Site is about 2.5 miles southwest of the City of Peekskill; 8.3 miles south of West Point; 1.5 miles northeast of the Lovett generating station site; 4.6 miles north of the Bowline Point generating station site; and 2.3 miles north of Montrose Point. The Site is approximately 239 acres and contains three pressurized water reactors owned by Entergy. Figures 1.8-1 and 1.8-2 are maps that show the general location of the Site and its environs within a 10-mile and SO-mile radius, respectively. Exclusion Area Entergy has the authority within the site boundary, called the Exclusion Area, to determine all activities including the exclusion or removal of personnel and property (see Figure 1.B-

  • 3) .

1 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • There are no residences within the exclusion area nor are there any public highways or public railroads traversing the exclusion area.

One main and one alternate access roads service the exclusion area. Several other roads interconnect with these two roads. In the event of an evacuation, all vehicular traffic will be directed to the appropriate access road depending on the wind direction, and traffic would exit the site onto Broadway in Buchanan. Protected Area A Security fence marks the perimeter of the Protected Area of the site. Access beyond the fence is restricted to badged employees or escorted visitors. Metal and bomb detectors are located at the Protected Area entrance. All buildings related to plant functions are within the Protected Area security fence. The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located within the Protected Area boundary for interim dry storage of spent fuel. The HOLTEC spent fuel storage casks are designed to ensure protection of public health and safety through use of physical barriers to guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactivity and through the use of shielding to minimize radiation dose to the public from both normal and off-normal conditions of operation. The analyses summarized in the HOLTEC Cask UFSAR demonstrate that under assumed accident conditions, the consequences of accidents challenging the integrity of the barriers will not exceed limits established in 10 CFR 72.106. Population Distribution Approximately 13,000 people live within a two mile radius, approximately 84,000 people live within a five-mile radius and approximately 300,000 within a ten-mile radius of the site based on the 2010 US Census population. A more detailed summary of population distribution can be found in Appendix 5 and the station's Evacuation Time Estimate Study. Site Topography The Indian Point Energy Center is surrounded on almost all sides by high ground with elevations ranging from 600 to 1000 feet above sea level. The general orientation of this mass of high ground is northeast to southwest. The Hudson River runs northeast to southwest at the Indian Point Energy Center location but turns sharply northwest approximately two miles north of the plant. ' Steep, heavily wooded slopes flank the west bank of the Hudson: the Dunderberg and West Mountains to the northwest (elevation 1086 feet and 1257 feet, respectively) and Buckberg Mountain to the west southwest (elevation 793 feet). Further west are slightly higher peaks. To the east of the site, peaks are generally lower: Spitzenberg and Blue Mountains average about 600 feet in elevation, and a weak, poorly defined series of ridges run in a north-northeast direction. The River south of the plant makes another sharp bend to the southeast and then widens as it flows past the towns of Croton and Haverstraw .

  • Plant Unit 1 (615 MWt, defueled), Unit 2 (3216 Figure 1.8-3 shows a general layout of the Site.

Mwt) and Unit 3 (3189 Mwt). In a nuclear reactor system, containment is defined as the means of restricting, to sharply defined volumes, the distribution of radioactive materials that are in the process of nuclear fission. The IP-2 and IP-3 units have three containment barriers that exemplify the "Defense in Depth" philosophy. The first or innermost of the barriers is the fuel rod. This encapsulates the fuel pellets that generate the heat energy and is designed to maintain its integrity for the anticipated core life. The second containment barrier is the reactor pressure vessel. This pressure vessel contains the fuel rods, grouped into fuel assemblies, and the attached reactor coolant system which is comprised of four steam generators, four cooling pumps, pressurize~, and piping. The third barrier, called the reactor containment structure, surrounds the reactor coolant system. The reactor containment is a steel-lined reinforced concrete cylinder with a hemispherical dome and a flat base. This outer containment is designed to withstand the internal pressure that accompanies a loss of coolant accident. The structure provides radiation shielding for both normal operations and accident conditions .

  • Section C: Scope The primary hazard consideration at the Indian Point Energy Center is the potential unplanned release of radioactive material resulting from an accident at the site. The probability of such a release is considered very low due to plant design and strict operational guidelines enforced by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). However, Federal regulations and common sense require that an emergency preparedness program exist for each commercial nuclear power station.

This Plan describes the response of Entergy personnel at the Indian Point Energy Center Site during emergencies. It identifies an IPEC Emergency Response Organization (ERO), describes facilities and equipment, assigns responsibilities and authorities and identifies procedures for responding to emergencies from minor injury to personnel to conditions having offsite radiological consequences. Implementing Procedures have been developed to implement this Plan. These procedures identify the elements of the ERO and the interface with supporting off site organizations. In addition- to the Implementing Procedures (IP), Plan Administrative Directives (AD) have been developed to ensure proper maintenance of the program. A listing of procedures cross-referenced to sections of the Plan are contained in Appendix 3. Complete copies of the Plan Implementing Procedures are maintained in the Control Rooms, Technical Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and Alternate Emergency Operations Facility. Additional copies of individual procedures are distributed as needed to support the ERO .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Plant operating, radiological control and security procedures were considered in the development of this Plan. Reference to these procedures is made where necessary.

Plant operating and emergency procedures are available in the Control Rooms for use by the operating staff. Radiological control procedures are available for use by the Watch Radiation Protection personnel. Procedures that address security requirements during emergencies for the security force are contained in the Security Procedures and Safeguards Documents. This Plan includes agreements made with offsite organizations that furnish support during emergencies. These agreements are listed in Appendix 2. Specific notification and direction instructions are incorporated into the implementing procedures where necessary. Elements of the offsite em'ergency response are specified in the Emergency Plans of New York State, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange counties. Section 0: Planning Basis The Plan, in conjunction with the implementing and administrative procedures, documents the methods by which the Entergy Emergency Preparedness Program meets the planning standards set forth in 1O-CFR-50.47 (b) and the requirements of 1O-CFR-50 Appendix E. Other applicable regulations, publications, and guidance were used (see Appendix 1, "References") along with site-specific documents to ensure consistency in the planning effort . This plan was developed in coordination with the New York State Office of Emergency Management and local county Offices of Emergency Management. These organizations have complementary emergency response plans. Indian Point Units 1&2 previously owned by Consolidated Edison and Indian Point Unit 3 previously owned by the New York Power Authority, were consolidated under one owner, Entergy Corporation in 2001. Much of the planning efforts prior to the consolidation were carried on as a joint venture between the previous owners. In order to further streamline processes, planning efforts and establish standard responses, this single Plan was developed. This Plan was developed to respond to and minimize the onsite and offsite impact of an accident at Indian Point Energy Center. The interrelationship between the Site, Corporate, Federal, State and local government organizations is discussed. Protective measures within *the exclusion area (onsite) are the responsibility of Entergy. Protective measures outside the exclusion area (offsite) are the responsibility of state and local government authorities. The Onsite and Offsite Emergency Organizations can respond to any incident or accident 24-hours every day. These emergency organizations consist of many subgroups. The responsibilities, authorities and interactions between the subgroups are discussed in Part 2, Section B of this Plan. This Plan incorporates a classification system for emergencies and prescribes the recommended actions which are recommended to Offsite to be taken to protect the safety of the public, plant personnel and property both onsite and offsite. These actions are 4 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • contained in the Plan Implementing Procedures. The Plan addresses the responsibilities of personnel and the available resources.

The State and local government responses to plant-related emergencies outside the exclusion area are coordinated between the New York State Office of Emergency Management and the County Offices of Emergency Management as described in their respective Emergency Plans. The response to an emergency occurs in three phases.

1. The first phase (initial) includes immediate operator actions to maintain or bring the plant to a safe shutdown condition, initiate action to protect onsite personnel, classify the emergency and notify plant personnel and the appropriate offsite authorities. This phase is conducted by watch personnel (refer to Part 2 section B) with the assistance of other in-house personnel as needed.
2. The second phase (activation) includes actions to terminate the incident, monitor both onsite and offsite monitoring areas, assess the extent of any release of radioactivity, and disseminate the assessment (estimated exposure information) to offsite authorities.

The second phase is performed under the direction of the Emergency Director (ED) at the EOF/AEOF. This phase includes augmenting the Onsite Emergency Organization with support from offsite.

3. The third phase (recovery) begins once the emergency is terminated and includes planned actions for re-entry by workers to restore the station to normal operation, assisting offsite authorities return the public evacuated from around the Site, and implementing post accident environmental sampling as needed. This phase is the responsibility of the Site Recovery Director.

Section E: Governmental Emergency Planning Entergy works with Federal, State and Local government agencies to insure an integrated emergency response within the Emergency Planning Zones (Figures 1.B-1 and 1.B-2) located around the Indian Point Energy ~enter. Section F: Emergency Plan Guidance and Criteria The Indian Point Emergency Plan and related implementing procedures integrates guidance from several governmental and industry standards to provide the best protection of the health and safety of the public. See Appendix 1, References, for a list of documents used in development of this* plan. Section G: Assistance to Non-Entergy Planning Efforts Entergy provides technical assistance and other assistance as required to State and Local Agencies who are involved in the emergency planning effort for Indian Point Energy Center.

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Section H: Response Organization This Plan and its associated implementing procedures outline Entergy's responsibilities for the protection of onsite persons. Specific responsibilities, organizations and program implementation are outlined in other sections of this Plan, its associated Implementing Procedures and supporting Administrative Directives.

Section I: Federal Response The Federal Government has an integrated response plan in the event of a radiological emergency at any facility. Provisions are made within this Plan for the integration of appropriate elements of the federal assistance activities. Arrangements have been made to accommodate a federal response organization presence in the Entergy emergency response facilities as well as support communications between utility and federal emergency facilities. NRC response as described in NUREG-0728, "Concept of Operations: NRC Incident Response", was used in the development of the Plan as guidance to ensure coordination between Entergy and NRC EROs. Section J: Form and Content of Plan This Plan has been formatted similar to NUREG-0654, FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants", Revision 1.

  • Because this Plan is formatted in the same manner as the guidance document, no section cross-reference is needed.

An appendix is provided to cross reference Implementing Procedures and Administrative Procedures to sections of the Plan .

  • Part 2:

Section A: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Assignment of Responsibility This section describes the primary responsibilities for emergency response by IPEC, Federal, State, and local organizations within the Indian Point Plume Exposure Pathway and the Ingestion Pathway Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs). Various supporting organizations are also described as well as staffing for initial and continuous response. In the event of an emergency, as defined in Part 2, Section D, various Federal, State, and County organizations will be notified. This section identifies the principal State agency and other government agencies having planning and/or action responsibilities for emergencies, in the Westchester, Orange, Putnam and Rockland County areas of New York State.

1. Organizations The .relationships and the concept of operations for the organizations and agencies supporting a response in the Indian Point Emergency Planning Zones are as follows:
a. Identified below are Federal, State, local, and private organizations that are involved in a response to an emergency at Indian Point Energy Center.

Federal Agencies

  • The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) outlines the statutory and regulatory responsibilities. The primary Federal response at Indian Point Energy Center supporting an emergency includes:
  • Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), who act as technical/regulatory advisors to Indian Point Energy Center during an emergency. They provide Federal communications capabilities, coordination of Federal assistance, and assessment of onsite radiological incidents and potential offsite consequences.

e The U.S. Department of Energy operates a Radiological Assistance Program from its regional office at Brookhaven, Long Island. The Radiological Assistance Plan, which specializes in radiation safety and medicine, will provide assistance to the Nuclear Facility Operator, the State or the county at their r1pquest. This assistance, which includes monitoring of the environment surrounding the site, is available twenty-four (24) hours a day, by calling the contact phone number. The expected time of arrival is approximately 3 hours. The ED is authorized to request this assistance in the event it is necessary. Westchester County Airport, located approximately 30 minutes by automobile from the site, can supply facilities for air transportation .

  • A-1 1e-02 I

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who coordinates the overall offsite Federal response and provides Federal resources and assistance to state and local governments. FEMA is a division of the Department of Homeland Security (OHS).
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), who assists with field radiological monitoring/sampling and non-plant, related recovery and re-entry guidance.
  • During a radiation incident that could have offsite radiological consequences, the U.S. Coast Guard will assist by maintaining traffic control on the Hudson River. Coast Guard assistance is requested by and coordinated through New York State, the appropriate county, or FEMA.
  • National Weather Service, who provides meteorological information to Indian Point Energy Center in the event that the onsite* meteorological tower or monitoring instrumentation becomes inoperative.

New York State Agencies

  • The agency responsible for emergency planning is the New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYSOEM). The Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission will assume the direction and coordination of the State response activities. The specific tasks and responsibilities assigned to various departments and agencies of the State are delineated in New York State Comprehensive Emergency Plan, Radiological Hazards Annex for Fixed Nuclear Facilities. Notification to the State of emergency conditions would be as indicated in Part 2, Section E.
  • New York State has Emergency Operation Centers in Albany, Westchester and other areas in the state. All of the state EOCs are equipped with communication capability.

County Offices of Disaster and Emergency Services/Emergency Management The four (4) counties located within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) that are involved in emergency response activities at the Indian Point Energy Center Site include: o Westchester County, in which Indian Point Energy Center is located; o Rockland County, on the west side of the Hudson River across from Indian Point Energy Center;

  • Orange County, on the west side of the Hudson River, north of the plant.

The closest boundaries of Orange County are approximately four (4) miles from Indian Point Energy Center.

  • A-2 19-02 I

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • o Putnam County, on the east side of the Hudson River, north of the plant.

The closest boundaries of Putnam County are approximately four (4) miles from Indian Point Energy Center. Each county has an Office of Emergency Management. The Director of each of these offices, or their designee, will act as the County Emergency Operations Manage'r in the County. Bergen County is a host county that assists .Rockland County in the event of an evacuation of the general public. The city of Peekskill takes direction from Westchester County and has its own Warning Point and Emergency Operation Center. Emergency Operations Centers are where county managers direct and coordinate the County's response, under the authority of the Chief Executive of the County, for natural and man-made disasters. Notifications to the Counties of an Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area or General Emergency at Indian Point Energy Center would be as described in Part 2, Section E.

b. During an emergency condition at an Alert, Site Area Emergency, or General Emergency level, the Indian Point ERO replaces the normal plant organization.

Indian Point Energy Center concept of operations is to utilize the entire station staff and if needed the entire company (Entergy) resources to protect the health and safety of the public and station personnel during an emergency at the site. Part 2,

  • Section B outlines the organizations established .
c. Figure A-1 illustrates the interrelationships of the organizations involved with emergency planning for Indian Point Energy Center.
d. The Shift Manager (or the Control Room Supervisor in his/her absence) is in charge of the Indian Point Energy Center emergency response until relieved by another qualified ED who is then in charge of the entire IPEC ERO.
e. Continuously manned communication points have been identified for all agencies involved in the planning effort.
2. State and Local Functions and Responsibilities The State, and local counties have Emergency Response Plans that specify the responsibilities and functions for the major agencies, departments, and key individuals of their emergency response organizations. This information is located in their respective Plans.

Along with the State of New York, the States of Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are within the boundaries of the Emergency Planning Ingestion Pathway SO-mile radius. The specific response of these states is found in their respective Emergency Response Plans .

  • 3. Agreements in Planning Effort Agreements establishing the concept of operations developed between IPEC and other support organizations having an emergency response role within the Indian Point Emergency Planning Zones (including hospitals and medical transportation) are provided in Appendix 2, "Letters of Agreement." These agreements identify the emergency measures to be provided and the mutually accepted criteria for implementation. Federal, State, and local agencies that have response functions covered by laws, regulations, or executive orders have developed plans to meet these functions. These approved Plans serve as written agreements for agencies response to an incident at Indian Point Energy Center. A contract/purchase order with a private contractor/business is considered acceptable in lieu of a Letter of Agreement for the specified duration of the contract.
4. Continuous Coverage The Indian Point ERO has sufficient numbers of qualified, trained personnel to provide the capability of continuous (24-hour) operations. The Manager of Emergency Preparedness administers programs to ensure availability of resources in the event of an emergency. The ED has the authority and is responsible for assuring continuity of resources (technical, administrative, and material) in the event of the activation of the Indian Point ERO .

The Shift Manager (Control Room Supervisor in the absence of the Shift Manager) has the responsibility and authority to declare an emergency, initiate the appropriate immediate action in accordance with written procedures, mitigate the consequences of the emergency, activate the full Emergency Response Organization and notify offsite support and government agencies.

b. On call Emergency Response Organization The ERO is established to assure that a sufficient number of appropriately qu~lified personnel are available each day, 24 hours a day to deal with any emergency situation.

During an event or emergency at Indian Point Energy Center, the initial phase of the response is conducted by the normal shift complement onsite. The Watch Force, depicted in Figure B-1.1, satisfies the NUREG-0654 requirements for on-shift personnel and on-shift staffing in accordance with guidance of NRC's NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 interim staff guidance and NEI 10-05 Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities. An analysis of the IPEC On-Shift staffing was conducted and a final analysis report was issued. The analysis report is available as a separate document. The analysis resulted in a total of twenty-six

   - persons on-shift .
  • 8-2 19-02 I

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Table B-1 presents, in tabular form, the minimum staffing requirements of on-shift personnel and the additional personnel capable of augmenting the on-shift organization within 60 minutes.

Those personnel identified to augment the Watch Force within 60 minutes of the declaration ,of an Alert or higher are part of the on-call ERO. These personnel are notified by an electronic notification system and public address announcements, and are immediately available during normal working hours. These personnel are notified by an electronic notification system during non-working hours. An alternate notification system using an automated telephone notification process is used in the event that the normal electronic notification system is unavailable. The activation phase consists of ERO activation. This includes the normal watch and personnel needed to staff the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), the Technical Support Center (TSC), the Operations Support Center (OSC) and the Joint Information Center (JIC). This occurs at an Alert classification or higher. A partial or complete ERO activation may be implemented at a NUE classification. The ERO is capable of performing those activities necessary to: (1) Maintain control of the plant and mitigate the consequences of the emergency, (2) Conduct accident assessment and analysis to determine the full scope and .

  • impact of the situation, (3) Establish and maintain communications with authorities responsible for
  • implementing offsite emergency measures, (4) Conduct a coordinated emergency public information program, and (5) Conduct long-term emergency response activities.

Activation of the ERO gives the ED full access to the resources of Entergy. In addition to the above listed facilities, corporate resources are made available as needed to support the onsite ERO. Figures B-1.2a-d illustrate the Indian Point ERO. Personnel who will fill the positions identified are listed in an Emergency Telephone Directory.

2. Authority Over Indian Point Emergency Response Organization:

The Shift Manager (or the Control Room Supervisor in the event that the Shift Manager is unavailable), acting as the ED, has the authority to declare an emergency, immediately takes charge of the emergency response effort and is responsible for offsite dose assessment until relieved by another qualified ED. He/she activates the ERO as necessary and continues to direct the emergency response until relieved by another qualified ED .

  • B-3 19-02 I

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • The relieving ED/Plant Operations Manager (POM) takes charge of the overall emergency response, thus freeing the Shift Manager to direct his/her attention towards the mitigation of the accident using the emergency operating procedures. The POM holds this position until the on-call ED arrives. Overall control of the Onsite ERO is maintained by the Emergency Plant Manager (EPM) in the TSC. After command and control is transferred to the ED in the EOF/AEOF, it remains there until the event is terminated. In the event that the ED becomes unavailable or personnel at the EOF are required to transfer to the AEOF, command and control may be transferred to the CCR until such time as a new ED assumes command and control or the ED assumes command and control upon arrival at theAEOF.

Although the ERO described in this section of the Plan fulfills the regulatory requirements for emergency response, it may be altered by the ED. This alteration would be based on the needs within the ERO during ari actual event.

3. Succession to Emergency Director:

The duties and responsibilities of the ED are initially assumed by the Shift Manager (CR Supervisor in his/her absence). When the EOF becomes operational, the on-call ED relieves the Shift Manager of ED responsibilities, and overall command and control of the emergency is transferred to the EOF. The Plant Operations Manager (POM) relieves the on-shift ED until such time as the EOF is operational. The POM must remain in the Control Room. The position of on-call ED is normally staffed by high level station management

  • personnel.
4. Emergency Director Responsibilities:

The ED is responsible for directing and coordinating the integrated emergency response effort of all Company activities during the emergency including those which originate from Corporate Headquarters. Personnel trained in accordance with this plan and qualified as EDs are designated in an Emergency Telephone Directory. The ED is stationed in the EOF during an Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency and is the interface between the onsite and offsite authorities. He/she has the responsibility and authority to provide Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) to the authorities responsible for implementing offsite emergency measures. Specific responsibilities of the ED include:

  • Declares and upgrades the emergency as warranted and initiates recovery phase when appropriate (non-delegable);

e Reviews and approves notifications to the State and Local authorities (non-delegable); 9 Recommend protective actions for the general public to offsite authorities (non-delegable); 11 Authorization of Emergency Exposures and issuance of Kl to Entergy personnel outside the Protected Area; (?) Establish communications with the emergency response facilities and obtain information on the diagnosis and prognosis of the accident condition;

3) Notification/Communication The Control Room communication links with offsite authorities are available each day 24-hours a day. The initial notification of offsite authorities and ERO personnel is initiated by the Shift Manager and/or Control Room communicator.

Communications with offsite authorities are maintained from the Control Room until the ED takes over the responsibility at the EOF. A communicator is designated at the EOF to establish/maintain communication links.

4) Radiological Accident Assessment On-Plant)

In-plant radiological monitoring and chemical/radiochemical analysis is provided by the Watch Radiation Protection Technician and Chemistry Technician, respectively, under the direction of the Shift Manager and by other responding personnel under the direction of the EPM.

5) Radiological Accident Assessment (Out-of-Plant and Offsite)

The expertise for evaluating the radiological consequence of the accident is

  • provided by the Dose Assessors and the Offsite Team Coordinator who function directly under authority of the Radiological Assessment Coordinator (RAC). These individuals ensure that sufficient monitoring activities are instituted, evaluate and assess the results and apprise the RAC of all activities, results , and recommendations. Offsite radiological monitoring is provided by responding Radiation Protection Personnel or individuals trained as Offsite Monitoring Team members. These same personnel also provide radiological monitoring outside the Protected Area.
6) Repair and Corrective Actions The Shift Manager and Nuclear Plant Operators perform emergency repairs if necessary, within the first 60 minutes.

Maintenance mechanics, l&C Technicians and operations personnel (NPOs) who respond to the OSC perform repair and corrective actions directed by the OSC Manager. '

7) Protective Actions (In-Plant)

  • 8) Firefighting Firefighting is the responsibility of the Fire Brigade as defined in the Indian Point Station Fire Protection Program Plan. The Fire Brigade consists of members who are trained in firefighting techniques and are on duty 24 hours a day. A local fire department may be called if necessary.
9) Rescue Operations and First Aid Search and rescue jurisdiction during an emergency is divided between the in-plant area (inside the protected area fence), which is handled by the Shift Manager/POM or EPM and the rest of the onsite area which is handled by the ED. The Shift Manager using available personnel onsite until the other emergency response facilities are activated, if required, would initially direct search and rescue operations.

There is at least one individual on duty 24 hours a day who is trained in first-aid techniques. Additional medical support can be called as necessary. 1O)Security Site Access Control and Personnel Accountability Overall Security response is coordinated in the Incident Command Post (ICP). IPEC Security Management may be assisted by the NY State Police. Plant security and site access control are the responsibility of the Security Shift Supervisor and the Security Force, with backup assistance available from the Local Law Enforcement Agency (LLEA) as the situation demands. Personnel accountability during an Alert, Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency is the responsibility of the TSC Security Coordinator. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures outline the steps that are used to account for all personnel including employees having emergency assignments, visitors and contractors who may be within the Protected Area.

11) Information Dissemination To assure that only factual and consistent information is released; statements concerning the emergency are the responsibility of Indian Point Energy Center communications personnel and/or individuals assigned to the JIG. A Press Release Writer is available on call 24 hours a day and is responsible for interfacing with the news media for release of any public statements prior to the JIG being operational.

The JIC Manager is responsible for providing accurate and timely information to the public through the news media and coordinating with Federal, State and local public information officials to assure timely exchange and release of information. Both the Press Release Writer and the JIC Manager have access to all necessary information, either directly available to them or available through the onsite ERO. A Public Information Liaison reports to the EOF with the initial augmentation of the watch force to facilitate information flow regarding the emergency to the JIG Technical Advisor. The ED prior to the activation of the JIG approves information that is used to notify the public. Once the JIC is operational, the JIC Press Release Writer prepares the press release, and once approved by the ED, disseminates the information to the public. B-8 19-02 I

  • Part 2:

Section D: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Emergency Classification System This section describes the classification and emergency action level scheme used to determine the minimum response to an abnormal event at the Station. This scheme is based on Indian Point Energy Center Units 2 & 3 systems, effluent parameters and operating procedures. The initial response of Federal, State and local agencies is dependent upon information provided by the Indian Point ERO. Indian Point Energy Center emergency planning personnel work closely with State and local agencies to ensure consistency in classification schemes and procedural interfaces. Indian Point Energy Center maintains the capability to assess, classify, and declare an emergency condition within 15 minutes after the availability of indications to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded and promptly declares the emergency condition as soon as possible following identification of the appropriate emergency classification level.

1. Emergency Classification:

This Plan is based 6n consideration of conceivable consequences of potential situations ranging from incidents where effects on plant and personnel are negligible to highly unlikely releases of radioactivity, which could affect members of the public. The emergency classification of these cond_itions, both radiological and non-radiological, indicates the relative severity for immediate implementation of response actions. The four (4) major classifications increase in overall severity from Notification of Unusual Event (least severe), Alert, Site Area Emergency, General Emergency (most severe). These mutually exclusive classifications cover the postulated spectrum of potential and actual emergencies. Each classification is associated with a particular set of immediate actions. Each classification is characterized by certain initiating symptoms or events called Emergency Action Levels (EALs). These action levels include specific sets of plant parameters (i.e., instrument indications, system status, etc.) or events that are used to determine the appropriate emergency classification. A brief explanation of the four classification levels follows: Notification of Unusual Event (NUE) A Notification of Unusual Event classification is used to denote events that are in progress or have occurred, which indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant or indicate a security threat to facility protection has been initiated. No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected unless further degradation of safety systems occurs .

  • 0-1 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • This is the least severe of the four (4) classifications. The purpose of this classification is primarily notification. These notifications provide for (1) assurance that the first step in any response later found to be necessary has been carried out, (2) bringing the operating staff to a state of readiness, and (3) providing systematic handling of unusual events information and decision making.

The Shift Manager/ED will ensure: a) Notification of State and local offsite authorities within 15 minutes of classifying the event; b) Required Station Management and the NRC are informed of the nature of the unusual condition; c) Optional augmentation of on-shift resources as needed, which may include full or partial staffing of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and/or the Joint Information Center; d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR f) Close out with verbal summary to offsite authorities followed by written summary within 24 hours.

  • State and local offsite authorities would, as directed by their respective Emergency Plans:

a) Provide fire or security assistance if requested; b) Escalate to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR c) Standby until a verbal closeout. Alert An Alert classification indicates events are in progress or have occurred which involve an actual or potential substantial degradation of the level of safety of the plant or a security event that involves probable life threatening risk to site personnel or damage to site equipment because of Hostile Action. Any releases are expected to be limited to small fractions of the EPA PAG exposure levels. The purpose of the Alert is to (1) ensure that emergency personnel are readily available to respond if the situation becomes more serious or to perform confirmatory radiation monitoring if required, and (2) provide the offsite a_uthorities with current information on plant status and parameters. Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses will exceed 1O mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent {TEDE) or 1O mRem/hr external exposure rate .

  • D-2 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • The Shift Manager/ED will ensure:

a) Initiation of activation of the ERO which results in the staffing of the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Emergency Operations Facility and the Joint Information Center; b) Notification of State and local offsite authorities within 15 minutes of classifying the event; c) Prompt notification of the NRG (not to exceed one hour); d) Continued assessment and response as necessary; e) Dispatch of field monitoring teams and establish associated communications, as necessary; f) Periodic plant status updates are provided to offsite authorities (approximately every 30 minutes or period agreed upon with offsite authorities); g) Meteorological assessments are provided to offsite authorities and, if any releases are occurring, dose estimates for actual release; h) Escalation to a more severe class, if appropriate; OR i) Close out in emergency class by verbal discussion with offsite authorities followed by written summary within eight (8) hours of entering recovery after an Alert or higher classified event. State and local offsite authorities would, as directed by their respective Emergency Plans: a) Provide fire or security assistance if requested; b) Augment resources by activating EOG 's; c) Augment resources and bring primary response centers and Emergency Alert System (EAS) to standby status; d) Alert key emergency personnel to standby status including monitoring teams and associated communications; e) Provide confirmatory offsite radiation monitoring and ingestion pathway dose projections if actual releases substantially exceed technical specification limits; f) Maintain Alert status until verbal closeout or escalation. Site Area Emergency (SAE) A Site Area Emergency indicates events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public, or Hostile Action that results in intentional damage ,or malicious acts; (1) toward site personnel or equipment that could lead to the likely failure of or; (2) that prevent effective access to, equipment needed for protection of the public. Any releases are

  • D-3 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • not expected to result in exposure levels which exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary.

The purpose of the Site Area Emergency declaration is to (1) ensure that response centers are manned, (2) ensure that monitoring teams are dispatched, (3) ensure that personnel required for evacuation of near-site areas are at duty stations if the situation becomes more serious, (4) provide current information for and consultation with offsite authorities and public, (5) provide updates for the public through offsite authorities. Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses will exceed 100 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE), 500 mRem COE Thyroid, 100 mRem/hr external exposure rate, or 500 mRem/hr Thyroid Exposure Rate (for one hour of inhalation).

General Emergency (GE) A General Emergency indicates events are in progress or have occurred which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity or Hostile Action that results in an actual loss of physical control of the facility. Releases can be reasonably expected to exceed EPA PAG exposure levels beyond the site boundary. The purpose of the General Emergency is to (1) initiate predetermined protective actions for the public, (2) provide continuous assessment of information from licensee and offsite organization measurements, (3) initiate additional measures as indicated by actual or potential releases, (4) provide consultation with offsite authorities, and (5) provide updates for the public through offsite authorities. Where radiological releases to the environment have occurred, it is possible that the site boundary doses could exceed 1000 mRem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) and 5000 mRem CDE Thyroid, 1000 mRem/hr External Exposure Rate, or 5000 mRem/hr Thyroid Exposure Rate (for one hour of inhalation).

Classification Downgrading

  • D-6

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • The Indian Point Energy Center policy on Classification downgrading is as follows:

All events once declared shall remain in effect until: 1. such time as conditions warrant termination of the event and entry into the Recovery Phase or 2. the event is re-classified at a higher level.

2. Emergency Action Levels:

The postulated accidents analyzed in each units' Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), the example initiating conditions found in NEI 99-01 REV 5 "Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" were evaluated to establish an emergency classification and emergency action level scheme. NEI 99-01 REV 5 has been accepted by the NRC as an alternative to NUREG-0654-REV 1. This classification scheme is presented in six categories of EALs, which show the parameters for establishing each emergency classification. The specific instruments, parameters or equipment statuses that identify the overall severity of the emergency condition and the actions to be taken by the facility staff are identified in the Plan Implementing Procedures. The Emergency Action Levels (EALs) are grouped into six categories to simplify their presentation and promote a rapid understanding by their users. (See Table D-1 for a description of each of the EAL initiating conditions for each EAL category).

  • These categories are:

(1) (2) (3) Abnormal Rad Release/Rad Effluent Hazards ISFSI (4) Systems (5) Fission Product Barriers (6) Cold Shutdown/Refueling System Malfunction Table D-1, Summary of IPEC EAL Initiating Conditions, provides a description of the initiating conditions associated with the above categories which would cause the Plan to be implemented. Detailed emergency action levels are provided in a Plan Implementing Procedure and an associated EAL Technical Bases Administrative Procedure.

3. Offsite Classification Systems:

Indian Point Energy Center works with the State of New York and local authorities to ensure consistency between classification schemes. The content of the Emergency Action Levels is reviewed with the State and local authorities on an annual basis .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • NOTE: NUREG-0654 Criterion 11.B.5 states that the "licensee must be able to augment on-shift capabilities within a short period after declaration of an emergency". The time frames for rapid augmentation of a nuclear power plant staff in the event of an emergency are not rigid inviolate requirements but rather goals. It is Entergy's intent to expend its best efforts to meet the augmentation criteria goals regarding staffing Emergency Response Facilities with sufficiently skilled individuals capable of handling an emergency. Both the NRC and Entergy realize that due to diversity of normal residential patterns for the stations' staff, possible adverse weather conditions and road congestion, these time frames might be exceeded.

These time frames may also be exceeded during a Security event. ERO members who are away from the site when an event is declared are notified via an electronic notification system and/or phone calls. An automated notification system makes individual calls to members of the ERO. Once notified, ERO members respond to their assigned facilities immediately. Mobilization of federal, state, and local response organizations is performed in accordance with their applicable emergency plan and procedures. At a minimum, mobilization of federal response organizations and activation of state and county EOCs is expected to occur at the declaration of an Alert. The state and local authorities are responsible for the process of notification of their personnel and the general public .

3. Initial Notification:

An Initial Notification using Part I of the New York State Radiological Emergency Data Form shall be used to transmit information to appropriate State and local agencies within fifteen (15) minutes of any of the following: e A classification is made;

  • The classification changes;
  • A change in radioactive release condition;
  • A change in the downwind sector when a release is potential or occurring;
  • A change is made in Protective Action Recommendations; and
  • Additional information is available which may affect a change in the State or local protective action response.

The initial emergency message form includes information about: a) authenticity, i.e. "This is NOT an Exercise (Drill)" or "This is an Exercise (Drill)"; b) identity of caller and receiver of call; c) emergency classification; d) emergency action level identification and whether a release is in progress;

  • e) wind direction, speed and stability class; E-5 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • f) recommended protective measures if necessary; g) the date and time of classification and notification.

In a General for sheltering Point Energy Emergency, the notification includes, at a minimum, a recommendation or evacuation of the general public within the two (2) mile radius of Indian Center and five (5) miles downwind, and implement the NY State Kl plan. All remaining areas should monitor the Emergency Alert System (EAS) .

 .4. Follow-up Messages:

The ED ensures communications are maintained with the offsite authorities through periodic follow-up messages. Follow-up message should be provided approximately every 30 minutes or on agreed upon intervals established with the offsite authorities. The follow-up messages include the following, as appropriate:

a. Location of incident, name and telephone number of caller;
b. Date and time of incident; C. Class of Emergency. (Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency or General Emergency);
d. Type of actual or potential radiological release (airborne, waterborne, surface spill);
e. Whether or not [estimate of quantity of] radioactive material has been released or is being released;
  • f . Radiological release information, including estimates of the relative quantities and concentrations of noble gases, halogens, and particulates;
g. Meteorological conditions at appropriate levels (wind speed, direction to and from, stability);
h. Actual or projected dose rates at the site boundary, projected integrated dose at site boundary;
i. Projected dose rates and integrated dose at the Site Boundary and at 2, 5, and 1O miles;
j. Estimates of any surface contamination if applicable;
k. Recommended emergency actions, including protective measures; I. Prognosis for worsening or improvement.
5. State and Local Information Dissemination:

State and local government organizations, in cooperation with Indian Point Energy Center personnel, have established a system for disseminating appropriate information to the public. The system includes notification through appropriate broadcast media, e.g. the Emergency Alert System (EAS) .

  • E-6 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 6. Notification of the Public:

The State and local government organizations have the capability for providing an alert signal (sirens) to their population within fifteen (15) minutes following the decision to take a protective action. The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is operated by local government agencies and maintained by Entergy. The design of the ANS includes backup power capability in accordance with NRG Order EA-05-190, dated January 31, 2006 (Section IV.II: A 1 - A5 and B1 - B3). In cooperation with offsite agencies, Entergy personnel test the system periodically. System testing and preventive maintenance requirements include those specified in Section IV.II: A6 and C4 - CS of the Order. Any system discrepancies are promptly repaired. The public Alert Notification System (ANS) is composed of 172 sirens and the RECS phone for the US Military Academy. These are supplemented with individual alerting devices for residences and special facilities in EPZ areas where acoustic coverage is reduced. The sirens are electronic. They are activated from each County EOG or Warning Point via simultaneous radio and TCP/IP signals. The county EOCs and Warning Points and IPEC have the same capability for siren activation.

  • The system design consists of 172 sirens with a distribution as follows:

Westchester Rockland 77 56 o Orange 23

  • Putnam 16 Periodic testing and maintenance of the ANS is performed in accordance with approved procedures. Periodic testing includes:

e Bi-weekly silent test - intended to check computer equipment, radio transmitter/repeater and siren receiver.

  • Quarterly growl test - intended to test the siren sub-system from receiver antenna to siren (satisfies the requirement of the bi-weekly silent test).
  • Annual activation test - intended to test the actuation and operation of the siren system (satisfies the requirements of the bi-weekly silent test) at full volume for a period of approximately 3 - 5 minutes .
  • E-7 19-02
                         *1ndian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan
  • Tone Alert Radios are distributed within the 10-mile EPZ to supplement siren alerting for residents and special facilities in EPZ areas where acoustic coverage is reduced or when requested. On an annual basis, guidance is provided on the use and testing of the tone alert radios.

Given that automated dialing is an accepted method that can be selected to provide primary alerting in accordance with FEMA-REP-10 guidance in consultation with New York State, Westchester, Rockland, Orange and Putnam Counties, the plan is to use "automated dialing' capability as the back-up method of alert and notification in the case of a siren failure.

7. Messages to the Public:

The State has developed draft messages for the Emergency Alert System (EAS) that are intended for the public. These draft messages are included as part of the State plan and contain instructions with regard to specific protective actions to be taken by occupants and visitors of affected areas. Messages to the public are also provided via the Media. These messages are coordinated by licensee, Federal, State and local representatives at the Joint Information Center.

The radiation data is collected by a computer system at the Indian Point Energy Center that allows access to this information through the Meteorological, Radiological and Plant Data Acquisition System (MRPDAS). The information from these systems is available at all IPEC facilities through the Entergy computer network. This information is also available to offsite Emergency Operation Centers via MRPDAS through a secure internet portal to the Entergy computer network. Data from these fixed field measurement sites may be used to verify the travel path of a radiological release and to estimate whole body exposure rates offsite.
10. Meteorological Monitoring The meteorological system at the Indian Point Energy Center provides real-time meteorological parameters as specified in Enclosure 1 to Appendix 2 of NUREG-0654 (January 1980) and USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.23 Revision 1. The three basic functions outlined in Annex 1 to Appendix 2 of NUREG-0654-Rev. 1 have been implemented.
  • The meteorological system at Indian Point Energy Center consists of three meteorological towers. The 122 meter primary meteorological tower has instrumentation consisting of wind speed, wind direction and temperature at multiple levels. The vertical temperature gradient is then used to determine atmospheric stability. A backup diesel generator equipped with an automatic power transfer switch is available in the event that the normal AC feed is lost.

Backup towers are also available onsite. These towers provide a single 10-meter elevation for wind speed and wind direction instrumentation only. Determination of atmospheric stability is determined from the standard deviation of the horizontal wind fluctuation (sigma-theta) over a 15-minute period. Real-time wind speed and wind direction data are continuously monitored and recorded as 15-minute averages, with the data available through the Entergy computer network (MRPDAS). All of the data outputs are in the format specified in Enclosure 1 and Appendix 2 of NUREG-0654 (January 1980). Real-time meteorological information can also be obtained from the National Weather Service stations and other offsite meteorological facilities identified in Section H.8.

  • 11. Facility and Equipment Readiness Emergency facilities and equipment are inspected and inventoried in accordance with departmental administrative procedures. The inspection includes an operational check of instruments and equipment. Equipment, supplies and parts that have a shelf life are identified, checked and replaced as necessary. Sufficient reserves of instruments/equipment are maintained to replace those that are removed from emergency kits or lockers for calibration or repair.

Survey instruments and counters have been placed on a rotating calibration schedule. Other equipment requiring calibration will be calibrated as recommended by the manufacturer. Normally, equipment requiring calibration will be calibrated at the Station or by another qualified calibration service and will be immediately available in the event of an emergency. Dedicated communications equipment between Federal, State and local government agencies within the plume exposure pathway EPZ are checked periodically in accordance with Section N.2. The results of tests, inventories, and inspections are submitted to the Emergency Planning Manager or designee for review. The Emergency Planning Manager or a designee is responsible for the evaluation of these results and assignment of corrective actions for deficiencies identified, if any. Emergency Preparedness staffs will be informed of select system inoperability determinations resulting from any tests; inventories or inspections conducted on the systems, as the availability of these systems can have significant impact on the Emergency Plan.

  • Part 2:

Section I: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Accident Assessment To effectively coordinate and direct all facets of the response to an emergency situation at Indian Point Energy Center, diligent accident assessment efforts are required throughout the emergency. All four emergency classifications have similar assessment methods; however, each classification requires a greater magnitude of assessment effort dependent upon the plant symptoms and/or initiating event(s). In the case of a Notification of Unusual Event, the assessment and coordination of efforts are handled through the Control Room, with additional support as identified by the Shift Manager. During Alert, Site Area and General Emergencies the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, Joint Information Center, and the Emergency Operations Facility are activated. Technical Support Center personnel assist the watch personnel in the assessment of the accident and recommend appropriate steps to mitigate the accident. The Operations Support Center assists with in field inspections of plant equipment. The Emergency Operations Facility personnel continue the evaluation of offsite consequences started by the Shift Manager. The Joint Information Center provides interface with the public. The Emergency Operations Facility, when activated, maintains contact with the Control Room and contact with the offsite agencies, and then provides an overview of the assessment actions taken at various classifications levels as follows: Notification of Unusual Event The existence of conditions which would be classified under this heading is brought to the attention of Control Room Operators by (a) meteorological reports, (b) indications and alarms in the Control Room monitoring plant parameters, (c) indications from fire, seismic or security detection systems, or (d) observations by plant personnel. Depending upon the particular circumstances of the event, the Shift Manager takes one or more of the following actions to assess the severity of the situation: request clarification and periodic update of meteorol~gical informatior;i received from offsite source; monitor Control Room indications more closely; request the plant security force to investigate the matter further and report their findings; dispatch member(s) of the watch force to personally inspect areas of the plant; request assistance from the plant operations staff and/or Entergy's Engineering Departments in evaluating data; and make personnel observations (e.g. assessing the intensity and extent of fire). With regard to accidental releases of radioactivity within plant buildings, the Shift Manager would evaluate the alarm received with respect to other radiation monitors and process instrumentation readouts in the Control Room. Radiation Protection personnel could be sent into the affected plant area to make observations and evaluate radiation levels .

  • 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Alert For emergency situations that are classified as Alerts, the Shift Manager/ED evaluates information available in the Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and status of safeguards equipment.

The Shift Manager or Plant Operations Manager, acting as the ED at the start of the emergency, and the on call ED after taking over control at the Emergency,, Operations Facility, will continually direct assessment of the relative condition of the three fission product barriers and radiological conditions onsite and offsite. During Alerts with radiological concerns, radiological assessment actions are initiated as described under the Site Area Emergency and General Emergency part of this section. Site Area Emergency and General Emergency For emergency situations that are classified as Site Area Emergencies or General Emergencies, the Shift Manager/ED evaluates information available in the Control Room regarding radiation monitor readings, nuclear and process instrumentation readings, containment integrity and the status of safeguards equipment. An immediate assessment of the projected exposure to the offsite populace is made by using Dose Assessment Computer Programs or by using an Implementing Procedure which includes determining a source term, release rate, radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment and projected exposure to the whole body and thyroid of individuals exposed to the plume. The specifics of these are as follows: The source term is determined from the R-25 and R-26 accident monitor instruments, indicating radioactivity in the containment building released from the reactor core. o The release rate is determined from the Plant Vent Monitor, Air Ejector Monitor or the Main Steam Line Monitors. Should the plant vent monitors read off-scale or be inoperable, contact field measurements are taken on the plant vent and a procedure is available to convert the mR/hr reading to an equivalent radioactive concentration for noble gases and radioiodine.

  • The radioactive airborne concentrations in the environment are determined first by calculation and then by actual measurement. The calculations are done by computer or by hand, utilizing the Implementing Procedures:
            ', The calculation is performed using an equation that utilizes the release rate, dilution factor and wind speed. The dilution factor is obtained from a table, in the computer program or Implementing Procedure, corresponding to the current meteorological data.
            -, Measurements are made by offsite monitoring teams who go to selected points and perform field surveys and air sampling. The air samples are counted and the activity calculated .
  • 1-2 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • e The projected thyroid exposures are obtained from calculations that convert radioactive concentrations to mRem/hour and measurements taken in the field. Whole body exposures are as indicated by the field surveys.

This assessment is updated based on air sampling and field surveys performed by offsite monitoring teams using radio and cell phone equipped vehicles under the direction of the ED. The area within a 10-mile EPZ is divided into 16 equal 22% sectors. In each sector, 0 Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) has been installed at strategic locations. A number of strategically located continuous air sampling sites may also be used to evaluate the exposure for the population at large. The ED transmits updated assessment information to the New York State Office of Emergency Management and to the Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, and Orange County Emergency Management Offices. Radioactive contamination assessment is performed after a release is terminated. The ongoing Indian Point Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program described in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) is utilized to determine the extent of contamination. Radiological assessment personnel in accordance with an Implementing Procedure calculate total population dose. This calculation and others utilize established demographic information in combination with the DLR, bioassays, and projected dose distributions to obtain total population exposure within the 10-mile EPZ .

  • 1. Plant Parameters and Corresponding Emergency Classification
a. Plant system and effluent parameter values are utilized in the determination of accident severity and subsequent emergency classification. Environmental and meteorological events are also determining factors in emergency classification.
b. An emergency condition can be the result of just one parameter or condition change, or the combination of several. The specific symptoms, parameter values or events for each level of emergency classification are detailed in the Implementing Procedures.
c. In order to adequately assess the emergency condition, each emergency facility has the necessary equipment and instrumentation installed to make available essential plant information on a continuous basis. The types of instrumentation and equipment capabilities available for each emergency facility are described in Section Hof the Plan .
  • 1-3 19-02

2. Onsite Accident Assessment Capabilities In addition to normal plant monitoring systems and procedures, the following systems are provided for accident assessment:
a. Sampling System Plant design includes the capability to sample the reactor coolant system, the discharge of the recirculation and residual . heat removal pumps, and the containment atmosphere.

Facilities for the radiation protection and chemistry groups include laboratory and calibration rooms for both conventional and radio chemical analyses.

b. Area Radiation & Process Radiation Monitors Indian Point Energy Center has Area Radiation Monitors (ARM) for the direct measurement of inplant exposure rates and Process Radiation Monitors (PAM) for the measurement of noble gas and radioactive iodine concentrations in plant effluents. The ARM readings allow inplant exposure rate determinations to be made remotely without requiring local hand-held meter surveys. This information may be used, initially, to aid in the determination of plant area accessibility. The Process Radiation Monitors provide an immediate indication of a radiological release of effluents. The Process Radiation Monitor readings can be used as an input into the dose assessment computer programs that display the projected whole
  • body and child thyroid exposures to the populace in the plume exposure pathway .
c. Containment Radiation Monitors and Hydrogen Monitor Containment Radiation Monitors and/or Hydrogen Monitors along with Core Exit Thermocouples may provide an early indication of core damage. These monitor readings are utilized as a method for core damage determination. This is accomplished through use of established procedures based on Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group guidance. The core damage estimate obtained from the procedures may also be used to confirm the core damage results obtained through isotopic analysis. These monitors also allow for the evaluation of a potential radiological release.
3. Release Source Term Determination
a. The potential for release of radioactive material and the magnitude of the release can be assessed through use of the Containment Radiation Monitors and Process Monitors. The Containment Monitoring System readings can be used to estimate the percentage of core damage and establish the total number of curies available for release.
b. If a liquid or gaseous release occurs, the routine or high range process monitors will indicate the release rate. If the release is from an unmonitored point, technicians will take grab samples to be analyzed.

Radiation monitors are located as described in the U2 & U3 FSARs. The readings obtained from these monitors are converted to actual release rates through the use of computer programs. 1-4 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 4. Effluent Monitor Data and Dose Assessment:

The correlation between effluent monitor data and onsite and offsite exposure rates is accomplished through use of the dose assessment computer codes. These programs allow for the direct input of effluent monitor and meteorological data. The computer will generate release rates, projected dose rates and doses to the whole body and thyroid as well as downwind noble gas and particulate concentrations via the plume exposure pathway. The computer software also has the capability of performing multiple accident dose assessment involving simultaneous releases from one or both of the Indian Point Energy Center units. Dose projections may also be performed without the use of a computer through a series of hand calculations. Indian Point Energy Center uses ground releases to conduct dose assessment. Entergy has procured and installed computer based systems, which are capable of:

a. Calculating the dispersion path of radioactive material if released to the atmosphere by the plant;
b. Obtaining meteorological information from a primary and backup meteorological tower, thus providing assurance that basic meteorological information is available during and immediately following on accidental airborne radioactivity release;
c. Calculating the radiological consequences cit accidental radioactive releases to the atmosphere;
d. Providing simultaneous real-time meteorological data for estimation of transport and diffusion estimates of a release in the vicinity of the site. This information is available to the licensee, offsite emergency response organizations and the NRG Staff, via telephone computer access;
e. Obtaining additional radiological and meteorological inputs that assist in defining the site generated dispersion path calculations.
5. Meteorological Information:

Meteorological data is available from the station meteorological tower. The data available includes wind speed, wind direction, stability class (Pasquill). This data is utilized by the licensee, locals, State and other Federal Agencies to provide near real-time predictions of the atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion. Section H.1 O provides more details on the Meteorological Monitoring System.

6. Unmonitored Release:

During an actual release via an unmonitored flow path or in"situations in which effluent monitors are either off scale or inoperative, dose projections can be made through the use of actual sample data and/or field monitor team readings .

  • 1-5 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 7. Offsite Monitoring:

In the event of an airborne or liquid release, the station maintains the resources and capabilities to take air, soil, water, and vegetation samples as well as to directly measure gamma dose rates. Samples are taken at locations specified by the Radiological Assessment Coordinator. Environmental measurements are utilized as an aid in the determination of protective and recovery actions for the general public. A Reuter Stokes Radiation Monitoring System consisting of a network of monitors is installed in each of the 16 sectors around the Indian Point Energy Center Site at a distance of 0.5 to 2.5 miles. These devices will continuously telemeter, via radio, radiation, level readings to a computer system, which can be accessed in the EOF, AEOF, IPEC Central Control Rooms and local and State EOCs. Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) - DLR's are deployed in three (3) rings at approximately 2, 5 and 1O miles from the site. DLR's are sensitive to Gamma radiation and are gathered and read periodically. There are approximately 57 DLR's distributed within the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zone for Indian Point Energy Center. Air Samplers are deployed at a number of the sampling sites. They are constantly in operation and pass ambient air through a series of filters that are capable of trapping radioactive iodine and other radioisotopes in the air. The filters are periodically I

  • removed by Entergy personnel and sent to be analyzed .
8. Offsite Monitoring Teams:

Offsite Monitoring Teams are available at an Alert or higher classification to make rapid assessments of the actual or potential magnitude and location of any radiological hazards from the liquid or gaseous release pathways. These teams are composed of two individuals qualified to perform radiological monitoring. Monitoring teams establish and maintain direct radio or phone communications with the Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). An Offsite Team Coordinator in the EOF controls the teams. The teams locate and monitor the radioactive plume while taking air samples as directed. Offsite teams utilize portable equipment during an emergency to gather data from any of the sixty-one predesignated emergency sampling locations around the Indian Point Energy Center Site. Large-scale maps showing the locations ~re in the Control Room and Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) or AEOF, for use by the ED. Readings taken by these teams are relayed back to the site via radio or phone communications .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Monitoring Team Kits containing necessities including the following radiological equipment are maintained in a ready state and would be utilized by the teams:
a. Radiation field survey instruments used to perform beta and gamma radiation field surveys.
b. Air Sampler which is basically a blower with a filter holder in the inlet, utilized to take samples of ambient air and pass the air through a fiberglass and an activated charcoal or silver zeolite filter. The filters remove and absorb radioisqtopes from the air.
c. Sample counter that is a device used to measure the radioactivity of filters used in the air sampler.
d. Equipment for personnel protection such as gloves for use in radiation I environments.
e. Support equipment and supplies.

Survey data from monitoring teams is used to define affected areas, verify or modify dose projections and protective action recommendations, and assess the extent and significance of a release.

9. Iodine Monitoring:

Offsite Monitoring Teams collect air samples while in the plume exposure pathway. The teams carry procedures and equipment for sampling and measuring radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1.0E-7 micro curies per cubic centimeter in the presence of noble gases.

10. Dose Estimates:

Specific Implementing Procedures exist for the correlation of air activity levels to dose rate for key isotopes. Provisions have been established for estimating integrated dose from the projected and actual dose rates and for the comparison of thes'e estimates with the protective action guides. 11 . State Monitoring Capabilities: The State of New York has the ability to dispatch its own offsite monitoring teams to conduct ingestion pathway monitoring. The state also has the ability and resources to coordinate with Federal and licensee monitoring teams to compare sample results .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section J: Protective Response Protective response consists of emergency actions taken during or after an emergency situation, which are intended to minimize or eliminate hazards to the health and safety of the public and/or Station personnel. A range of protective actions has been developed for emergency workers and the general public in the plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). Additionally, guidelines have been established to aid in choosing protective actions during an emergency that are consistent with federal guidance. Entergy is responsible for onsite protective actions, while the responsibility for offsite protective actions rests with the State of New York, local authorities and other offsite response agencies.
i. Notification of Onsite Personnel:
a. For all emergency classifications, all station personnel, contractors, visitors and Owner Controlled Area (OCA) badged personnel are notified of an emergency by the public address system, distinct audio signals (air raid alert, fire, site assembly or containment evacuation alarms) and/or alternate methods. Announcements include the emergency classification and response actions to be taken by site personnel.

The Public Address System(s) are designed for paging persons within the :site Protected Area from the Control Rooms. Personnel have the ability to talk to the Control Rooms via party line phones that are strategically located within the units.

  • Plant personnel may initiate the communication to the Control Room from outlying party lines. *
b. Visitors within the Protected Area are escorted at all times by badged personnel who will ensure that the visitor takes the proper actions for the .event.
c. Contract personnel who have un-:escorted access to the Protected Area must complete Plant Access Training that includes instructions for actions to be taken during an emergency.
d. Accountability of persons within the Site Boundary but outside the Protected Area is not required. However, the Security Force will ensure that individuals in the Owner Controlled Area (including individuals with OCA badges) are notified as necessary of any emergency and the response actions to be taken.
2. Evacuation Locations:

Assembly areas and evacuation routes are specified in the Emergency Planning Implementing Procedures. Depending on meteorological conditions, the Shift Manager/ ED decides whether to release plant personnel and the appropriate evacuation routes. Inclement weather, high traffic density and specific radiological conditions and other hazards are considered in making this decision. The release of personnel is under the direction of the Shift Manager/ED. Personnel are released to go home or continue from the site to assembly areas using their own cars when practical or other transportation provided by Indian Point Energy Center.

  • J-i 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 3. Radiological Monitoring:

Radiological monitoring of personnel, their possessions and their automobiles would be performed by Radiation Protection or trained ' monitoring personnel using instrumentation that is normally available or specifically assigned for this purpose. Personnel may be evacuated/released as part of the general public to offsite relocation centers designated by offsite authorities.

4. Assembly & Evacuation:

Relocation outside the Protected Area and/or evacuation is the primary protective action anticipated for onsite personnel not having emergency response assignments. Non-essential personnel (personnel not assigned emergency response functions, contractors and visitors) are directed to assemble at pre-designated assembly areas at the Alert or higher classification. The primary assembly area is the Indian Point Energy Center Generation Support Building (GSB) and the Energy Education Center (EEC). The Indian Point Energy Center Training Center serves as the back-up assembly area and may be used during periods of high volume, such as an outage. Personnel assigned emergency response functions respond to their assigned emergency facilities. Assembly areas and evacuation routes are described in the Implementing Procedures. Assembly areas are located to assure that personnel are not in the path of the plume. Each assembly area has a telephone. The assembly areas (GSB and IPEC Training Building) are within the range of the plant paging system . Evacuation / release of non-essential Indian Point Energy Center personnel is initiated upon declaration of either a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The ED may release personnel at a lower classification.

5. Accountability:

At the declaration of an Alert, all non-essential personnel are relocated from within the Protected Area. At a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency all individuals within the Protected Area. are accounted tor and the names of missing individuals are identified within 30 minutes of a declared emergency. Once established, accountability within the Protected Area is maintained throughout the course of the event, unless conditions allow suspension in the later stages of the event. Should missing personnel be identified, search and rescue operations are initiated. Accountability is coordinated between the OSC Manager and Security. The results are forwarded to the Emergency Plant Manager and/or ED. Accountability could be suspended if movement of personnel would place them in more danger than leaving them in place, such as outside weather conditions or security events. Personnel who are assembled outside the p~otected area are given further instructions. These instructions may incl.ude sheltering in place, evacuation or, individuals may be requested to assist the ERO in accident mitigation. If site evacuation is called for, Security will sweep all onsite areas outside the Protected Area and verify all personnel have evacuated or been released. J-2 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 6. Provisions for Onsite Personnel:

The station maintains an inventory of respiratory protection equipment, anti-contamination clothing, and a supply of Kl that is made available to emergency workers remaining onsite should conditions warrant.

a. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) and full-face respirators are used as the primary method of respiratory protection in an emergency. Emergency response personnel use SCBAs in any environment involving exposure to high-level gaseous activity or oxygen deficient atmosphere, or where air quality is in doubt. In the presence of airborne particulates, emergency response personnel may be directed by Radiation Protection personnel to use full-face filter type respirators.
b. Anti-contamination clothing, located in the Operations Support Center (OSC) lockers, is available for use by onsite personnel entering areas of plant with known or unknown contamination.
c. The use of thyroid-blocking Potassium Iodide (Kl) may be recommended at 5 Rem COE child thyroid or when a General Emergency condition initiates the recommendation to State and Counties to implement Kl Program. This is a lower value than specified by EPA 400-R-92-001, "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents". A supply of Kl is maintained in the Emergency Response Facilities. Procedures are in place for the use of these agents by emergency response personnel. Administration of Kl may be authorized only by the ED or by the Emergency Plant Manager.
d. Precautions shall be taken to prevent the contamination of drinking water and food supplies by using bottled water and packaged foods.
e. A range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action is provided to ensure the continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform the functions of the emergency plan .
  • J-3 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 7. Protective Action Recommendations for the General Public:

Plant conditions, projected whole body gamma and thyroid doses, and/or field monitoring data are evaluated to develop protective action recommendations for the purpose of preventing or minimizing exposure to the general public. Protective action recommendations for the plume exposure pathway are based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Protective Action Guides (PAGs) discussed in EPA-400-R-92-001 - "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents" and NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1, Supplement 3, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, Guidance for Protective Action Strategies". Protective action recommendations are made directly to the State and local agencies that are responsible for implementing protective actions for the general public within the plume exposure EPZ. The ED makes protective action recommendations. Recommendations issued by Indian Point Energy Center at a General Emergency based on plant conditions include as a minimum, evacuation in the two (2) mile radius and five (5) miles downwind and advising the remainder of the EPZ population to monitor EAS messages for further direction. The Indian Point Entergy Center's rationale and methodology for plant-based and dose-based protective action recommendations has been coordinated with local and state response organizations as required by NUREG-0654, Supplement 3 .

8. Evacuation Time Estimates:

An independent evacuation time study has been performed to provide estimates, of the time required to evacuate commercial, resident and transient populations (see Appendix 5).

9. Protective Measure Implementation:

State and local agencies are responsible for implementing offsite protective actions. These actions are included in the State and County Emergency Plans. Entergy is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the offsite authorities.

10. Factors Affecting Protective Measure Implementation The State, and County emergency plans used to implement the protective measures for the plume exposure pathway take numerous factors into consideration. Among these considerations are:
a. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, leaving the EPZ via designated evacuation routes. Maps showing the evacuation routes, evacuation Protective Action Areas, reception centers in host areas, and congregate care centers have been developed as part of the state and local plans. Pre-selected sampling and monitoring points have also been identified.
b. The population distribution around Indian Point Energy Center is presented in the Evacuation Time Estimate .
  • J-4 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • c. Section E of this Plan describes how offsite agencies are notified in the event the Plan is activated. State and local agencies have the capability to notify all members of the transient and resident population within the plume exposure EPZ.
d. State and local organizations have the capability to protect those persons where mobility may be impaired due to such factors as institutional or other confinement.

At the time of an emergency, transportation requirement of special needs persons (including mobility impaired) is verified. Mobility impaired will be notified of a protective action via the Emergency Alert System (EAS).

e. An adequate supply of potassium iodide (Kl) is available for distribution by state and local organizations to special facility staff and patients/residents where immediate evacuation would be life threatening. Authority for use of radioprotective drugs rests with the NY Health Department. *
f. State and local organization plans include the method by which decisions are made for administering radioprotective drugs to emergency workers. The distribution of radioprotective drugs to the general public has been authorized by the State. Each individual County's Emergency Plan addresses pre and post distribution of radioprotective drugs.
g. State and local organizations have the capability of providing a means of relocation for the general population. Most of the evacuating population will travel in their own vehicles, driving out of the EPZ using designated evacuation routes. Transportation dependent persons will be instructed through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to
  • i.

go to a pickup point or bus route for transportation to a reception center .

h. State and local organizations are capable of providing reception centers in host areas that are beyond the boundaries of the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.

Projected traffic capacities have been determined for evacuation routes under emergency conditions. Section 4 of the Evacuation Time Estimate provides discussion regarding capacity.

j. Federal, State and local organizations have the responsibility for the control of access to evacuated areas. Personnel from New York State Police and local police departments' staff access control points. The New York Highway Department and local public works departments provide necessary equipment to support access control. The U. S. Coast guard would assist in patrolling the Hudson River areas.
k. Potential impediments to the use of evacuation routes and contingency measures for such impediments have been identified in local emergency plans.

I. Time estimates for evacuation of various groupings of Protective Action Areas have been performed, under various conditions for the plume exposure pathway emergency-planning zone.

m. The basis for dose driven protective action decisions by offsite authorities would include several of the above factors as well as the following considerations:
  • If projected doses exceed minimum EPA PAGs and timely evacuation is feasible, then evacuation is recommended. If timely evacuation is not feasible, (i.e. time required for mobilization, warning and evacuation transit is greater than time before plume arrival), then State authorities may direct sheltering in place.

J-5 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Additionally, if the sheltering dose exceeds the PAG but is less than the projected evacuation dose, then sheltering is considered. A shielding factor of 0.9 is conservatively assumed in the calculation of the sheltering dose. This factor (from SANDIA 77-1725) represents the shielding afforded by a wood frame house. The decision to shelter is the responsibility of the offsite authorities.

11 . Ingestion Pathway Protective Measures: The responsibility for specifying protective measures to be used for the ingestion pathway rests with the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey. These measures include the methods for protecting the public from consumption of contaminated water and foodstuffs.

12. Monitoring of Evacuees:

The State and local organizations have the capability to register and monitor evacuees at reception centers at host communities. This capability includes personnel and equipment capable of monitoring residents and transients evacuating from the plume exposure EPZ and arriving at the reception centers, in accordance with FEMA guidelines .

  • Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section K: Radiological Exposure Control This section of the Plan describes the means for controlling emergency worker radiological exposures during an emergency, as well as the measures that are used by Entergy to provide necessary assistance to persons injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive materials. Exposure guidelines in this section are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Lifesaving Activity Protective Action Guides, EPA 400-R-92-001.

The general guideline for emergency personnel exposure will be to keep it as low as reasonably achievable.

1. Emergency Exposure Guidelines:

Radiation exposure in an emergency is controlled taking every reasonable effort to m1rnm1ze exposure. However, circumstances may warrant exposure in excess of 10CFR20 limits. Saving a life, measures to circumvent substantial exposures to the general public, or the prevention of damage to critical equipment may be sufficient cause for above normal exposures. The following are the exposure guidelines for emergency activities: Dose Limit Activity Condition (Rem TEDE) 0-5* All Personnel may be kept within normal 10 CFR 20 occupational limits during declared emergencies or an emergency exposure up to 5 Rem TEDE may be authorized for members of the ERO. 5 - 10 Protecting critical Lower dose not practicable. infrastructure necessary for public welfare Must be authorized on individual bases. 10 - 25 Lifesaving or protection of Lower dose not practicable. large populations Must be authorized on individual bases.

          > 25      Lifesaving or protection of  Only on a voluntary basis to persons fully large populations            aware of the risks involved.

Must be authorized on individual bases.

  • Limit dose to the lens of the eye and dose to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to 10CFR20.1201 limits unless higher doses are evaluated and authorized on individual bases.

Any emergency response action requiring greater exposure than 25 Rem should be limited to only volunteers. Individuals over forty-five years of age are considered first. Females who declare pregnancy are restricted to 10CFR20.1208 limits. K-1 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • 2. Emergency Radiological Control Program:

The Radiological Assessment Coordinator (EOF) and the Rad/Chem Coordinator (OSC) ensure that proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions, that exposure accountability is maintained, and that personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated. Plan Implementing Procedures detail the emergency radiological controls utilized during emergencies. Radiation protection guidelines during emergencies include the following:

  • Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 Rem TEDE should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.

11 In the context of the emergency limits, exposure of workers that is incurred for the protection of critical infrastructure, lifesaving or protection of large populations may be considered justified for situations in which the collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred by the workers involved.

  • Exposure accountability is maintained and proper personnel radiological monitoring equipment is provided for all personnel during emergency conditions.
  • Access to high radiation areas is only permitted with prior approval of the applicable Radiation Assessrnent Coordinator (EOF) or Rad/Chem Coordinator (OSC), and personnel are not allowed to enter known or potential high radiation areas unless their exposure has been properly evaluated.
  • Periodic habitability surveys of emergency facilities are performed during an emergency. If the facility is determined to be uninhabitable, the facility is evacuated in order to prevent or minimize exposure to radiation and radioactive materials.

Alternate assembly areas are established, as necessary, to relocate and monitor evacuated personnel. Potassium Iodide (Kl) shall be used in accordance with New York State Policy for issuance of Kl. If the risk of using Kl outweighs the benefit, Kl may not be issued. Kl is stored in onsite Emergency Response Facilities .

a. If abnormal radiological conditions exist outside the Radiologically Control Area (RCA), exposure to emergency response personnel not issued Dosimetry of Legal Record (DLR) badges will be tracked by use of surveys and time spent in radiation areas.
b. Workers who would be expected to enter the RCA are trained and issued DLR badges. In addition to these badges, dosimetry devices will be issued, high range or electronic dosimeters and/or alarming self-indicating dosimetry, are used to monitor emergency workers exposure during an accident. The capability exists for the emergency processing of DLRs on a 24-hour per day basis, if necessary.

Emergency workers are instructed to read self-indicating dosimeters frequently, and DLRs may be processed with increased periodicity.

c. Emergency worker dose records are maintained in accordance with one or more Plan Implementing Procedures and Radiation Protection Procedures.
4. Non-Entergy Personnel Exposure Authorization:

The responsibility for authorizing non-Entergy emergency workers (i.e. State and local agency emergency workers such as Fire Department, Police or Medical teams sent to the site) to receive exposures in excess of the EPA Emergency Worker Protective Action Guides rests with the respective State and local organizations.

5. Decontamination and First Aid
a. Normal contamination control limits apply in emergency conditions. However, these limits may be modified by Rad/Chem Coordinator or the Radiological Assessment Coordinator should conditions warrant.
b. Decontamination materials and portable first-aid kits are stored within the Protected Area and at the EOF / Warehouse Complex. A personnel injury onsite involving possible radioactive contamination is initially treated by an on-shift first responder or EMT if available. Prompt attention is given to life endangering injuries such as extensive burns, serious wounds or fractures, in preference to decontamination. If the injury permits, all reasonable effort is made to decontaminate the individual prior to movement. If decontamination is impractical, the patient is covered in such a manner as to minimize the spread of contamination until medical aid can be obtained or the patient can be hospitalizea .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • The Verplanck Fire Department ambulance is the primary provider of prompt transportation of persons requiring medical attention from the station to area hospitals. This service is available on a 24-hour per day basis. For accidents involving contamination, if a Radiation Protection Technician (RP) is available, then one will be assigned to accompany the patient to the hospital to assist and advise ambulance and hospital personnel.

Patients requiring Emergency Room care, laboratory work, X-rays or lifesaving procedures are transported to the New York-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital (primary), to Phelps Memorial Hospital Center (backup) or another equipped medical facility. Hospital personnel have been trained and hospitals are equipped to handle radiologically contaminated or radiation injured individuals. Medical personnel may recommend transportation to other medical facilities equipped for long term or intensive care for radiation injuries. Radiation Protection personnel are available to assist medical personnel with decontamination, radiation exposure and contamination control.

6. Contamination Control Measures
a. Areas in the plant found to be contaminated are isolated as restricted areas with appropriate radiological protection and access control as directed by the Rad/Chem Coordinator.
  • b. In order to preclude the spread of contamination from restricted areas, all personnel and equipment are monitored for radioactive contamination prior to exiting the restricted areas. Contaminated personnel are decontaminated. Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in all Emergency Response facilities until such time as habitability surveys indicate that such activities are permissible.
c. Restricted areas will be returned to normal use when contamination levels have been returned to acceptable levels.
7. Decontamination of Relocated Personnel:

Non-essential onsite personnel are released from the Protected Area during an emergency, if radiological concerns occur. Radiation Protection personnel and/or portal monitors are used to monitor personnel released from the Protected Area and decontamination is performed, as needed. Existing and temporary facilities to limit contamination and exposure will be utilized and established at the site as necessary during an emergency situation. In the event that decontamination of onsite personnel locally is not possible, personnel will be sent to a county emergency worker personnel monitoring center for monitoring and decontamination. Provisions for extra clothing, as well as suitable decontaminates are available .

  • Part 2: PLANNING STANDARDS AND CRITERIA Section M: Re-entry and Recovery Planning This section describes the measures to be taken for re-entry into the areas of Indian Point Energy Center that have been evacuated as a result of an accident. It also outlines the Indian Point Recovery Organization and its concepts of operation.
1. Re-entry and Recovery:

Re-entry: During an emergency, immediat.e actions are directed toward limiting the consequences of the accident, so as to afford maximum protection to Station personnel and the general public. Once corrective measures have been taken and effective control of *the plant has been re-established, a more methodical approach to re-entry is taken. This Emergency Plan therefore divides re-entry into two separate categories:

    .,   Re-entry during the emergency phase of an accident is performed to save a life, control a release of radioactive material, prevent further damage to plant equipment or restore plant equipment. If necessary, this category of re-entry may be performed using emergency exposure limits. Briefings and emergency forms, rather than written radiation protection procedures, operating procedures and maintenance procedures can be used when making these entries .

The Shift Manager and/or the Control Room Supervisor direct re-entry activities prior to activation of the Emergency Facilities. Once the TSC/OSC has been activated, all re-entry activities conducted during the emergency are authorized by the Emergency Plant Manager (EPM) and coordinated through the Operations Support Center. o Re-entry during the recovery phase is performed using normal exposure limits. Either normal procedures or procedures developed specifically for each re-entry are utilized. The Site Recovery Director or the station's normal management organization oversees the re-entry. Generally, site problems are addressed first to make the site tenable for workers; with a series of radiation surveys to establish accessibility and then steps are taken restore the station to normal operations. All data gathered from re-entry operations and additional information developed by the various technical support groups will be assessed. The plan is to return plant conditions to within Technical Specification limits and it may include detailed schedules, specialized equipment and personnel, preparing procedures for decontamination, processing highly radioactive water, repairing equipment, and purchasing equipment. A station nuclear safety/review committee reviews and approves recovery operations in accordance with its charter and the Technical Specifications .

  • M-1 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Recovery:

Recovery is defined as those steps taken to return the plant to its pre-accident condition. Radiation exposure to personnel involved in the recovery will be kept at a minimum and within the stated limits of 10 CFR 20. Radiation areas will be roped off and posted with warning signs indicating radiation levels and permissible entry times based on survey results. Access to these areas will be controlled, and exposures to personnel entering such areas documented. Shielding will be employed to the fullest extent possible. Survey results, interviews of individuals with direct knowledge of recent conditions in the affected area(s) and all other pertinent information collected from logs and other records or indicators in the Control Room and in the Emergency Operations Facility may be used to evaluate the advisability and the timing of re-entry to affected areas. The ED, after consulting with the EOF Manager, Company Spokesperson, the Emergency Plant Manager and the Plant Operations Manager, has the responsibility for determining when an emergency situation is stable and the station is ready to enter the recovery phase. Prior to terminating an emergency and entering the recovery phase, the following conditions are considered:

  • Do conditions still meet an Emergency Action Level? If so, does it appear unlikely that condition~ will deteriorate? * . *
  • Radioactive releases are under control and are no longer in excess of Technical Specification limits.
  • The radioactive plume has dissipated and plume tracking is no longer required.

The only environmental assessment activities in progress are those necessary to assess the extent of deposition resulting from passage of the plume.

  • In-plant radiation levels are stable or decreasing, and acceptable, given the plant conditions.

G The potential for uncontrolled radioactive release is acceptably low.

  • The reactor is in a stable shutdown condition and long-term core cooling is available and adequate. There is no foreseeable danger of losing heat removal capability
  • Containment pressure is within Technical Specification limits.
  • Any fire, flood, earthquake or similar emergency condition no longer exists.

o All required notifications have been made.

  • Discussions have been held with Federal, State and local agencies and agreement has been reached to terminate the emergency.

M-2 19-02

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • o At an Alert or higher classification (non-transitory classification), the ERO is in place and emergency facilities are activated.
  • Any contaminated injured person has been treated and/or transported to a medical care facility.
  • Offsite conditions do not unreasonably limit access of outside support to the station.

It is not necessary that all conditions listed above be met; however, all items must be considered prior to entering the recovery phase. For example, it is possible after severe accidents that some conditions remain which exceed an Emergency Action Level, but entry into the recovery phase is appropriate.

2. Recovery Organization Once the decision is made to enter the recovery phase, the extent of the staffing required for the Indian Point Recovery Organization is determined.
    ~     For events of a minor nature, (i.e. for UNUSUAL EVENT classifications) the normal on shift organization is normally adequate to perform necessary recovery actions.
  • For events where damage to the plant has been significant, but no offsite releases have occurred and/or protective actions were not performed, (i.e. for ALERT classifications) the Indian Point ERO, or portions thereof, should be adequate to perform the recovery tasks prior to returning to the normal Station organization.
  • For events involving major damage to systems required maintaining safe shutdown of the plant and offsite radioactive releases have occurred, (i.e. for SITE AREA EMERGENCY or GENERAL EMERGENCY classifications) the Indian Point ERO, or portions thereof, and Corporate Emergency Center Manager is put in place.

The specific members of the Indian Point Recovery organization are selected based on the sequence of events that preceded the recovery activities as well as the requirements of the recovery phase. The basic framework of the Indian Point Recovery Organization is as follows:

a. The Corporate Emergency Center Manager reports to the Site Recovery Director and is responsible for:
  • Ensuring adequate corporate support to maintain Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) units in a safe condition;
  • Overseeing development of corporate recovery issues dealing with support of the site;

  • Identify deficiencies in the Plan and the associated Procedures, or in the training of response personnel, and ensure that they are promptly corrected.
 "  Ensure the continued adequacy of emergency facilities, supplies and equipment, including communications networks.
1. Exercises
a. Federally prescribed Exercises are conducted biennially, which involve implementation of the participants' emergency plan(s) and activation of major portions of participating emergency organizations. Where full participation by offsite agencies occurs, the sequence of events simulates an emergency that may
  • result in the release or potential release of radioactivity to the offsite environs, sufficient in magnitude to warrant a response by offsite authorities. Offsite agencies involved in the planning effort for an emergency at the station shall be invited to participate at least every two years. For exercises involving only partial participation by these agencies, emphasis is placed on development and conduct of an exercise that is more operationally realistic. Players will be able, by implementing appropriate procedures and corrective actions, to determine the outcome of the scenario to a greater extent than when core damage and the release of radioactivity are prerequisites for demonstration of all objectives.
b. Exercises provide an opportunity to evaluate the ability of participating organizations to implement a coordinated response to postulated emergency conditions. In accordance with the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Eight-Year Exercise Cycle Plan (maintained in accordance with a fleet procedure), exercises are conducted to ensure that all major elements of the emergency plan and preparedness program are demonstrated. Exercises are scheduled to be conducted at different times of the year. An unannounced drill/exercise is included in the Eight-Year Exercise Cycle Plan .

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS I. INTRODUCTION Evacuation planning is based on the identification of both the population to be evacuated and the transportation resources required to accomplish the task. These are the essential data around which the Evacuation Time Estimate (ETE) is built. Because the population in the areas to be evacuated can vary with the time of day, the day of the week, the seasons and other factors, a set of fifteen temporal scenarios has been developed for use in the ETE. These scenarios, prepared for both fair and adverse weather conditions, address variations in the general population, employee population, transient population and special facility (e.g., schools, nursing homes, and hospitals) population, as well as variations in roadway conditions. The fifteen evacuation scenarios are: Scenario Season Day of Week Time of Day Weather Special 1 Summer Midweek Midday Good None 2 Summer Midweek Midday Rain None 3 Summer Weekend Midday Good None 4 Summer Weekend Midday Rain None 5 Summer Midweek, Weekend Evening Good None 6 Winter Midweek Midday Good None 7 Winter Midweek Midday Rain None 8 Winter Midweek Midday Snow None _____,._,, __ 9 Winter Weekend Midday Good None 10 Winter Weekend Midday Rain None 11 Winter Weekend Midday Snow None 12 Winter Midweek, Weekend Evening Good None 13 Winter Weekend Midday Good West Point Football 14 Summer Weekend Midday Good Event at Croton Point Park 15 Summer Midweek Midday Good Roadway impact Rt. 6; Rt. 9W; Palisades Pkwy; Taconic Pkwy The traffic demand and trip-generation rate of evacuating vehicles were estimated from the gathered data. Sources of data include the 2010 Census, New York agencies, county agencies, a telephone survey and special concern facilities. (See Section 3/Appendix E and

Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Plan

  • Appendix 5 EVACUATION PLANS Section 5/Appendix F of the ETE of the 2012 ETE Report (Indian Point Energy Center, Development of Evacuation Time Estimates, KLD Engineering PC, KLD TR-537, December 2012) for a complete discussion of traffic demand and trip generation time, respectively.)

Following federal guidelines, the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is subdivided into 38 Protective Action Areas. The Protective Action Area definitions ar~ provided in Section II. The Protective Action Areas have been designed so that each can be defined in terms of well-known community names or boundaries. These Protective Action Areas are then grouped to conform with circular areas or "keyhole" configurations (circles plus radial sectors) that define Evacuation Regions for the ETE study. The Evacuation Regions are defined in Appendix H of the 2012 ETE Report. Additional Regions were defined in the 2014 ETE Addendum (Indian Point Energy Center, Development of Evacuation Time Estimates, Addendum for Additional Regions (2-Mile Radius + Downwind to EPZ Boundary), KLD Engineering PC, KLD TR-557, October 17, 2014). For each Protective Action Area within the EPZ, primary evacuation routes have been identified. Descriptions of the Protective Action Areas and their associated evacuation routes are given in the county plan procedures and in Section 1O and Appendix L of the 2012 ETE Report. Listings and maps of reception centers for each Protective Action Area are also included in the county procedures and in Section 10 of the 2012 ETE Report .

  • As part of the public education program associated with the implementation of the County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP), the general public will be provided with materials to enable identification of their residential locations within a given Protective Action Area, thus identifying the recommended evacuation route and reception center as well.

PROTECTIVE ACTION AREAS The plume exposure EPZ for the IPEC has been subdivided into 38 discrete Protective Action Areas as shown in Figure 1. The 201 O US Census permanent resident population estimates for each of the Protective Action Areas are presented in the 2014 ETE Addendum and are provided in Table 1. The boundaries of the various Protective Action Areas are described by county in Tables 2 through 5.

Ill. EVACUATION TIME ESTIMATES Evacuation time estimates by Region for each of the scenarios are presented in Section 7 of the 2012 ETE Report. Updated evacuation time estimates for 90% and 100% of the population within the Protective Action Areas included in the regions defined by the two-mile and five-mile rings and for the full EPZ are presented in the 2014 ETE Addendum and provided in Tables 6-A, 6-B and 6-C. IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE EVACUATION PLAN The evacuation plan comprises four major phases: mobilization, egress, maintenance and re-entry. As a Response Action, the first phase of evacuation--mobilization--may be initiated for an incident classified as an Alert, a Site Area Emergency or a General Emergency. The decision to proceed with the second phase of the plan--egress--will be made as the status of the incident is assessed. The final phases of the plan-- maintenance and re-entry--are applicable only after an evacuation has occurred .
