SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION This evaluation supports a request to establish a consolidated emergency operations facility (EOF) for North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Unit Nos. 1 and 2, and Surry Power Station (SPS) Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The consolidated EOF will hereinafter be referred to as the Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC). The proposed CERC will re place the existing NAPS and SPS local EOFs, and their common back-up central EOF and headquarters support organization. The proposed CERC is approximately 30 miles from the NAPS Technical Support Center (TSC) and approximately 59 miles from the SPS TSC. A license amendment is required to request Commission approval for locating an EOF greater than 25 miles from a nuclear power reactor site per 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.E.8.b.
1.1 HISTORY The SPS Units 1 & 2 Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated February 23 , 1972, and the NAPS Units 1 & 2 SER (NUREG-0053) dated June 4, 1976, were issued before requirements for EOFs were developed. NUREG-0053, Supplement 11 (August 1980) for NAPS Unit 2 described the [interim] EOF as being in the North Anna Visitors Center (within 1 mile of the station) and its alternate at the Louisa County Courthouse complex (approximately 9 miles from the site). Pursuant to the 1980 EP-rule change, the NAPS and SPS emergency plans were upgraded with provisions for performing EOF functions, with the CERP containing additional information .
Generic Letter 80-73, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities," NUREG-0696, dated August 1, 1980, provided draft EOF criteria for comment. On October 31, 1980, Generic Letter 80-90, "Post-TMI [Three Mile Island] Requirements, " NUREG-0737, was issued and indicated that additional guidance on the emergency response facilities (Section 111.A.1.2) would be forwarded separately at a later date.
A draft-NUREG 0696, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities,"
implementation plan for NAPS and SPS was submitted on December 18, 1980, ind icating that details on EOFs would be provided in a future revision to the plan.
Generic Letter 81-10, "Post-TMI Requirements for the Emergency Operations Facility,"
dated February 18, 1981, provided additional information (NUREG 0696 Revision 0).
Revision 1 to the NUREG-0696 Implementation Plan was forwarded to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on June 1, 1981. The NRC's response dated November 23, 1981 indicated additional information was needed . Additional guidance was provided by NRC Region II letters dated January 29 and February 12, 1982. A proposed EOF plan was provided by letter dated April 8, 1982, and supplemented by letter dated December 6, 1982.
NRC conducted appraisals of the NAPS and SPS emergency preparedness programs during February 16-26 and March 15-26, 1982, respectively (reference NRC Inspection Reports 50-338, -339/82-05 and 50-280, -281/82-05, respectively). Items identified during the appraisals were incorporated into the NAPS and SPS emergency plans and
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 2 of 30 their implementing procedure sets. The post-EP appraisal NAPS emergency plan dated July 22 , 1982 (Revision 0) referred to the interim [EOF] facility and described engineering conceptual studies for an EOF in the General Office in Richmond and a separate EOF on the station property. The post-EP Appraisal SPS Emergency Plan dated July 29 , 1982 (revisions earlier than 33 were not numbered , but this is considered Revision 0) referred to an interim [EOF] facility in the Surry Simulator Building.
Generic Letter 82-33, "Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 - Emergency Response Capability," dated December 17, 1982, provided clarification of TMI action plan requirements for EOFs. In reply to Generic Letter 82-33, the plan for a near-site EOF and back-up central EOF were provided by letters dated April 14 and May 6, 1983. The location of the primary NAPS EOF was identified as onsite 0.25 miles from the reactor containment and the primary EOF for the Surry site was identified as onsite 0.2 miles from containment. The common back-up EOF location was identified as 43 miles from NAPS and 51 miles from SPS at the Headquarters Emergency Center in downtown Richmond, Virginia. Completion of NUREG-0737 , Item 111.A.2.1 , Emergency Preparedness, Upgrade Emergency Plans to Appendix E, 10 CFR 50 , was documented in NRC letters dated May 10, 1983 for NAPS and May 13, 1983 for SPS. NRC letter dated January 13, 1984 advised that the Commission found the location of the back-up and primary EOFs for NAPS and SPS described in the referenced letters acceptable.
The SPS emergency plan dated June 28 , 1984 (unnumbered , Revision 15) referred to space on the 5th Floor of Corporate Headquarters in Richmond as the location for headquarters support and the back-up EOF. The NAPS emergency plan dated September 27 , 1984 (Revision 8) referred to an area on the 5th floor of One James River Plaza in downtown Richmond as the location for headquarters support and the back-up EOF. Completion of NUREG-0737, Item 111.A.1.2, Emergency Preparedness, Upgrade Emergency Response Facilities , was documented for NAPS by NRC letter dated May 25, 1987 and for SPS by NRC letter dated June 12, 1987.
The common back-up EOF was relocated to the Innsbrook Technical Center (ITC) in Glen Allen , Virginia , approximately 30 miles from NAPS and 59 miles from SPS , on September 16, 1988. Letter dated September 14, 1988, Corporate Emergency Operations Facility Relocation, informed the NRC Region II Emergency Preparedness and Radiological Protection Acting Branch Chief of this modification , with copies to the NRC Document Control Desk, and NAPS and SPS NRC Resident Inspectors. The ITC is the same building that Dominion is proposing to locate the proposed CERC. The SPS emergency plan dated April 27 , 1989 (unnumbered , Revision 32) and the NAPS emergency plan dated October 2, 1989 (Revision 12) identified the ITC as the location for headquarters support and the back-up EOF. The current emergency plans (NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44 (effective February 2, 2017) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63 (effective March 16, 2017) continue to reference ITC as the location of the back-up EOF.
The back-up EOF, with site-specific remote mustering areas, satisfies the 10 CFR 50 ,
Appendix E,Section IV.E.8.d requirement for an alternate facility when under threat or experiencing hostile action. A description of the alternate facility, limited to the
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 3 of 30 capabilities required by June 20, 2012, was added to the NAPS and SPS emergency plan dated December 21, 2012 (Revisions 38 and 58 , respectively) and updated with capabilities required by December 23 , 2014 in the current emergency plans (NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44 (effective February 2, 2017) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63 (effective March 16, 2017).
The central EOF staff has successfully demonstrated the ability to manage emergency response during several simulated response activities (e .g., SPS off-year exercise conducted November 13, 1996; NAPS off-year emergency exercise conducted November 12, 2003; SPS hostile action based drill conducted December 2, 2008; and NAPS Biennial Exercise conducted July 8, 2014 ).
Section 13.3 of the NAPS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and Section 12.3 of the SPS UFSAR briefly refer to "a comprehensive Corporate Emergency Response Plan (CERP) and a site specific Station Emergency Plan." The CERP provides the organizational descriptions for the EOF emergency response organization (ERO), the Joint Information Center (JIG) and for headquarters support. Corporate plan implementing procedures (CPIPs) provide detailed instructions for managing emergency response at the local EOFs and the back-up central EOF, and for headquarters support, including interface with the JIG. Select site-specific emergency plan implementing procedures (EPIPs) are used in the local EOFs and the back-up central EOF to formulate offsite protective action recommendations (PARs), prepare and transmit emergency messages to the Commonwealth of Virginia and NAPS and SPS plume exposure pathway risk jurisdictions, and assess offsite radiological consequences. These are the same EPIPs used by the NAPS and SPS Control Rooms/Health Physics Offices and TSCs when these facilities perform the associated functions. Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to incorporate applicable CERP contents into the NAPS and SPS emergency plans. provides a table indicating where this information is proposed to be relocated or where it has been determined to be duplicative to existing NAPS and SPS emergency plan content. Attachments 4 and 6 contain proposed marked-up NAPS and SPS emergency plan page changes. Attachments 5 and 7 contain proposed changed NAPS and SPS emergency plan pages. NAPS and SPS Emergency Plans and EPIP-sets, although site-specific and approved by station personnel , are prepared by Nuclear Fleet Emergency Preparedness staff. This support relationship assures that their content will remain in alignment.
1.2 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE The proposed consolidation is expected to have the following positive effects on the emergency response capability of both stations :
- Enhanced availability for emergency response by relocating the EOF away from a reactor site that could be affected by a large scale external event, hostile action , or radioactivity release ;
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 4 of 30
- Increased pool of site ERO members available for assignment to other positions in the TSC and the Operational Support Center (OSC); and
- Increased efficiency through the consolidation of EOF functions and headquarters support in a single facility.
The greater distance involved in the proposed plan should not impede implementation of EOF functions by NAPS and SPS EROs, or offsite response organizations , including the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), the Department of Health (VDH) Office of Radiological Health (ORH), or the NRC. Local governments do not send representatives to the existing local EOFs, so the distance to the proposed CERC does not impede their response . Mobilization time of VDEM and VDH responders will be improved due to relative proximity of their normal offices to the ITC. Likewise, due to the relative proximity to the Richmond International Concourse, the time it would take for the NRC Region II Incident Response Team to arrive at the consolidated EOF should be less than that needed to travel to either local EOF.
Additionally, consolidation will obviate the need for VDEM , VDH and NRC to staff separate EOFs at both NAPS and SPS for simultaneous events .
Although NUREG-0696 stated that activation of the EOF was optional at the Alert emergency class and required at the higher emergency classification levels, NAPS and SPS emergency plans provide for EOF activation after an Alert or higher emergency classification is declared. The table below lists NAPS and SPS declarations that required EOF activation:
Table 1.2-1: Declarations That Require EOF Activation Emergency Date Station(s)
Class July 3, 1980 North Anna Alert December 9, 1986 Surry Alert July 15, 1987 North Anna Alert February 25, 1989 North Anna Alert April 24 , 1993 North Anna Alert October 7, 2006 Surry Alert August 23, 2011 North Anna Alert The Mineral Virginia earthquake on August 23 , 2011 , which precipitated declaration of an Alert at NAPS, led to declaration of a Notification of Unusual Event at SPS. The initial notification messages from the NAPS and SPS Control Rooms to the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Center (EOC) overlapped . This precluded the Virginia EOC Duty Communications Officer from acknowledging the roll call from one of the station's communicators due to receiving notification from the other station. The proposed CERC's layout co-locates site-specific communicators so
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 5 of 30 overlapping notifications can be avoided following activation of the consolidated EOF for concurrent events at NAPS and SPS.
The NRG has approved 5 consolidated EOFs located more than 25 miles from some of the stations they support:
Table 1.2-2: NRC Consolidated EOFs Located >25 mi. from Station NRC Region Location Utility Stations Limerick Coatesvi Ile, I Exelon Peach Bottom Pennsylvania Three Mile Island Farley II Birmingham , Alabama Southern Nuclear Hatch Vogtle Brunswick Catawba Harris II Charlotte, North Carolina Duke Energy Lee McGuire Oconee Robinson Browns Ferry Chattanooga , Tennessee Valley II Sequoyah Tennessee Authority Watts Bar Braidwood Byron Clinton 111 Warrensville, Illinois Exelon Dresden LaSalle Quad-Cities More than 70 percent of the utilities in NRC Region II have approval to use a consolidated EOF, all of these with stations located in different states. The plume exposure pathways of both NAPS and SPS are entirely with in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The proximity of the proposed CERC to NAPS and SPS is within the range of distances for which consolidated EOF requests have been approved in the past.
Dominion Energy Virginia plans to conduct a proof-of-concept demonstration involving response to concurrent events requiring CERC activation with both NAPS and SPS.
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 6 of 30 The scope of the demonstration will require response to, and coordination of, response efforts for events occurring simultaneously at NAPS and SPS, specifically:
- Management of overall licensee emergency response,
- Coordination of radiological and environmental assessment,
- Notification of the Commonwealth of Virginia EOC, and both NAPS and SPS risk-jurisdiction 911 Centers,
- Coordination of event, plant, and response information provided to public information staff for dissemination to the media and public,
- Staffing and activation of the facility within CERC activation time-frames for an Alert or higher emergency class as defined in the proposed emergency plans for NAPS and SPS,
- Coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, State, and local agencies,
- Obtaining and displaying key plant data and radiological information for the affected unit(s) at NAPS and SPS per the drill scenario, and
- Analyzing plant technical information and providing technical briefings on event conditions and prognosis to licensee staff and offsite agency responders for the affected unit(s) at NAPS and SPS per the drill scenario.
In addition, the event at one of the two sites will affect multiple units. This proof-of-concept demonstration is scheduled for March 5, 2018 and may be observed by NRC staff. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) representatives will be afforded the opportunity to observe as well. Following approval, the CERC staff will participate in CERC activation drills, which will be conducted periodically in accordance with the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, including at least one involving response to simultaneous events at NAPS and SPS during each station's exercise cycle thereafter.
2.0 EVALUATION NUREG-0696, "Functional Criteria for Emergency Response Facilities" (as updated by NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants"), provides guidance for complying with 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.E.8 . The information provided in sections 2.1 through 2.9 below address this guidance to demonstrate acceptability of the proposed CERC with respect to the NAPS and SPS EOF attributes.
2.1 FUNCTIONS Management of overall licensee emergency response Operation of the proposed CERC will not alter the overall approach to emergency response at NAPS and SPS. Established protocols currently contained in the CPIP-set will be relocated to the respective station's EPIP-sets. NAPS and SPS EPIP-sets, although site-specific and approved by station personnel, are prepared by Nuclear Fleet Emergency Preparedness staff. This support relationship assures that content of EPIPs
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 7 of 30 used by the staff in the proposed CERC will be in alignment. Current and proposed CERC responsibilities for Key functions are identified in the table below:
Table 2.1-1: Responsibilities for Key Functions Key Function Current Responsibility Proposed Responsibility Approve PARs LEOF Recovery Manager 1 Site-specific CERC Technical Support Manager Prepare emergency LEOF State & Local Site-specific CERC State &
messages Emergency Communicator2 Local Emergency Communicator Approve emergency LEOF Recovery Manager1 Site-specific CERC Technical messages Support Manager Transmit emergency LEOF State & Local Site-specific CERC State &
messages Emergency Communicator Local Emergency Communicator Assess radiological LEOF Radiological Site-specific CERC consequences Assessment Coordinator3 Radiological Assessment Coordinator Review press releases LEOF Recovery Manager1 Site-specific CERC Technical for technical accuracy Support Manager Approve press releases Senior headquarters support CERC Corporate Response position Manager The proposed CERC will be the primary facility for offsite PAR formulation; preparation and transmittal of emergency messages to the Commonwealth of Virginia EOC, and both NAPS and SPS risk-jurisdiction 911 Centers/local EOCs; and offsite radiological consequence assessment, with the TSC as back-up. Responsibility for event classification will remain in the TSC. If the proposed CERC becomes unavailable during an event, the NAPS and SPS TSCs will have the capability to determine PARs for the public, notify offsite agencies, and perform dose assessments.
When the back-up central EOF is activated, the senior headquarters support position assumes the CEOF Recovery Manager title and fulfills this responsibility.
2 When the back-up central EOF is activated , the stand-by CEOF State & Local Emergency Communicator fulfills this responsibility.
3 When the back-up central EOF is activated , the headquarters radiological position assumes the CEOF Radiological Assessment Coordinator title and fulfills this responsibility.
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 8 of 30 Coordination of radiological and environmental assessment The back-up central EOF staff is responsible for coordinating radiological and environmental assessments in the event the local EOF is unavailable. The back-up central EOF staff currently monitors and maintains a log of site field team activities , and operates in a support role with respect to performing dose assessments during emergencies, exercises and drills. Upon implementation of the proposed consolidation, the CERC staff will coordinate site field team activities and be the lead facility for dose assessments. In the event both stations are in an emergency class requiring CERC activation, supplemental staff will be mobilized to support the additional station.
Determination of recommended public protective actions The back-up central EOF staff is responsible for determining recommended public protective actions in the event the local EOF is unavailable. Upon implementation of the proposed consolidation, the CERC staff will become the lead emergency response facility (ERF) for developing PARs based upon plant conditions or dose projections.
Station EPIPs will continue to be used for developing PARs. The NAPS and SPS PAR processes are identical. The responsibility for PAR development, which is currently assigned to the local EOF Recovery Manager, will be assigned to the site-specific CERC Technical Support Manager. In the event both stations are in an emergency class requiring CERC activation, supplemental staff will be mobilized to support the additional station.
Notification of offsite agencies The back-up central EOF staff is responsible for notifying the Commonwealth of Virginia and site-specific risk jurisdiction 911 Centers/EOCs in the event one or both of the local EOFs is unavailable. The back-up central EOF staff currently monitors notifications during emergencies, exercises and drills. These notifications include initial notifications, changes in emergency classification or PARs, and periodic updates. Upon implementation of the proposed EOF consolidation these notifications will be made from the CERC following turnover from the affected station(s). The proposed CERC has separate communications workstations for NAPS and SPS located in the Communications Area. In the event both stations are in an emergency class requiring CERC activation, supplemental staff will be mobilized to support the additional station.
Coordination of event, plant, and response information provided to public information staff for dissemination to the media and public The existing headquarters support organization is responsible for providing event, plant, and response information to public information staff for dissemination to the media and public through the Joint Information Center (JIC). A local EOF Public Information Technical Advisor provides technical information to the headquarters support organization. Upon implementation of the proposed consolidation the responsibility for
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 9 of 30 reviewing draft press releases for technical accuracy, which is currently assigned to the local EOF Recovery Manager, will be assigned to the site-specific CERC Technical Support Manager. Responsibility for approving press releases, which is currently assigned to the senior headquarters support position, will be the responsibility of the CERC Corporate Response Manager (this is not a change) .
Staffing and activation of the facility within time frames and at emergency classification levels defined in the licensee emergency plan The headquarters support organization and back-up central EOF staff currently mobilize at an Alert or higher emergency per the CERP, and NAPS and SPS emergency plans, and will continue to do so as the CERC staff upon implementation of the proposed consolidation. In the event both stations are in an emergency class requiring CERC activation , supplemental staff will be mobilized to support the additional station . The activation time goal for the proposed CERC is within 75 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency class by either station, with activation defined as the assembly of required positions in the proposed CERC and the CERC Corporate Response Manager declaring the facility activated.
Coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, State, tribal, and local Agencies As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.0.3, the capability exists for notifying responsible Commonwealth of Virginia, and NAPS and SPS plume exposure pathway ris k jurisdictions within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency (a site-specific lnsta-Phone network). Initial notification is made from the affected site's Main Control Room and transitions to its TSC . This responsibility is transferred to the local or back-up ce ntral EOF, as appropriate . The same site-specific lnsta-Phone network is available in the Main Control Rooms, TSCs, local EOFs and back-up central EOF. Subsequent notifications are transmitted at a designated frequency or as conditions change.
The NRC is notified via the Emergency Notification System (ENS) immediately after notification of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and NAPS or SPS plume exposure pathway risk jurisdictions, and not later than one hour after the time one of the emergency classes is declared, as required by 10 CFR 50.72(a)(ii)(3). Follow-up NRC notifications are made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(c). Responsibility for these notifications is transferred from the affected site's Main Control Room to its TSC where it remains for the duration of the event response.
The local EOF has the capability of establishing Health Physics Network (HPN) communications with the NRC. The back-up central EOF also has designated circuits for establishing HPN communications. The proposed CERC will utilize these site-specific circuits for HPN communications.
The NRC may dispatch a Region II Site Team to advise, assist and, as necessary, direct onsite response. NRC Region II Site Team members interface with their
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 1O of 30 counterparts in the local EOF and elsewhere. The Commonwealth of Virginia VDEM sends a liaison to the local EOF(s) to provide on-scene coordination with the Virginia EOC staff and interface with the local EOF Recovery Manager. Local governments do not send representatives to the existing local EOFs. The Commonwealth of Virginia VDH ORH sends a team to the local EOF(s) which coordinates with counterparts at the Virginia EOC and with the local EOF Radiological Assessment Coordinator. This team coordinates the placement of monitoring teams and independently calculates radiological consequences using its dose calculation model. NAPS and SPS plume exposure pathway risk jurisdictions do not send representatives to the existing local EOFs. Arrangements meeting the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(3) emergency planning standard for accommodating responding organizations exists at the NAPS and SPS local EOFs, and exists in the back-up central EOF. The proposed CERC will utilize the same areas as the back-up central EOF, which includes separate conference rooms for the NRC Region II Site Team and Commonwealth of Virginia liaisons, desk space in the main work area and designated work-stations in the site-specific Health Physics/Accident Assessment & Virginia Radiological Health rooms .
Locating NRG and offsite agency staff closer to a site if the EOF is greater than 25 miles from the site. Minimum provisions at this location should include the following items:
conference area with whiteboards, separate areas suitable for briefing and debriefing response personnel, telephones, site ERO contact lists, computers with internet access, access to a copier and office supplies, and radiation monitoring capability.
Dominion Energy Virginia will establish on-site response locations at the following locations prior to implementation of the proposed change:
North Anna: North Anna Nuclear Information Center Surry: Surry Nuclear Information Center These locations will include a conference area with whiteboards, separate areas su itable for briefing and debriefing response personnel, and access to a copier and office supplies. Telephones, site ERO telephone contact lists, computers with internet access, and access to plant data and radiological information are also provided at these locations. Procedural guidance will ensure the near-site facilities are made operational and available in a timely manner.
Obtaining and displaying key plant data and radiological information for each unit or plant the EOF serves The back-up central EOF staff currently acquires plant data through a secure connection to the NAPS and SPS plant computer servers. The proposed CERC has access to data via the Dominion Energy Virginia Wide and Local Area Networks (WANs and LANs). Dominion Energy Virginia has established an availability goal for the LAN/WAN that exceeds the 0.01 unavailability goal identified in NUREG-0696. The proposed CERC is capable of accessing the same data points that are available to the
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 11 of 30 Operators in the Control Rooms and emergency responders in the TSCs, including the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) data points. The proposed CERC's video wall display system can display the graphics on screens in the command center area.
Video monitors in the site-specific Health Physics/Accident Assessment & Virginia Radiological Health rooms can display this information also.
Analyzing plant technical information and providing technical briefings on event conditions and prognosis to licensee staff and offsite agency responders for each type of unit or plant The back-up central EOF staff has the capability to access key plant parameters from NAPS and SPS Plant Computer System (PCS) networks, and analyze radiological consequences using the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS). These capabilities will continue to be available in the proposed CERC. Thus, the CERC staff will be able to monitor and display plant parameters, assess the severity of an accident, project the accident's course, and provide decision-makers with information needed for mitigation, recovery, and PARs. The proposed CERC has a sufficient number of workstations to monitor conditions at NAPS and SPS simultaneously. The proposed CERC is equipped with conference rooms for technical briefings of licensee staff and offsite agency responders. Telephone conferencing capability is available for briefing responders not located in the CERC. In the event both stations are in an emergency class requiring CERC activation, supplemental staff is mobilized to support each station.
Effectively responding to and coordinating response efforts for events occurring simultaneously at more than one site for a consolidated EOF The proposed CERC is capable of monitoring and analyzing events at NAPS and SPS simultaneously. A sufficient number of workstations are available for data retrieval and the facility has adequate display capability to simultaneously present this information to the CERC staff. In the event both stations are in an emergency class requiring CERC activation, supplemental staff is mobilized to support the additional station. Separate NAPS and SPS communications networks will be used for notifying the Commonwealth of Virginia, and NAPS and SPS plume exposure pathway risk jurisdictions. Site-specific work spaces in the command center area and the separate NAPS and SPS Health Physics/Accident Assessment & Virginia Radiological Health rooms provide a physical separation to segregate response efforts.
2.2 LOCATION, STRUCTURE , AND HABITABILITY The proposed CERC is located in the Innsbrook Technical Center (ITC) at 5000 Dominion Boulevard, Glen Allen, Virginia. This location is approximately 30 miles from the NAPS TSC and approximately 59 miles from the SPS TSC.
There are no specific NUREG-0696 habitability criteria for an EOF located more than 10 miles from a nuclear station and a back-up facility is not required. The proposed CERC
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 12 of 30 is greater than 10 miles from NAPS and SPS. Thus , EOF functions would not be interrupted during radiation releases for which it was necessary to recommend protective actions for the public to offsite officials. The ITC was constructed in the mid-1980s. The building is capable of withstanding wind loads and live loads equal to or greater than those specified in the BOCA National Building Code/1981. Access to the ITC is continually controlled by a contracted security service. The main entrance to the proposed CERC is controlled by a monitored electronic card reader that allows entry to authorized personnel only. When the proposed CERC is activated these doors may be placed in access.
Two utility circuits feed the ITC. Primary power is provided by commercial power.
Electrical outlets, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting fixtures, and the wiring closet that supports both the voice and data communications in the proposed CERC have back-up power available. Thus, a loss of commercial power would not impact voice or data communications equipment in the proposed CERC. The Dominion Energy Virginia telecommunications infrastructure supporting the proposed CERC functions, including , but not limited to, fiber optic transmission equipment, telephone switching equipment and data network routers, is configured to operate from at least one and usually multiple back-up power sources in the event of a loss of commercial power. These back-up sources include generator, DC battery and uninterruptable power su pply (UPS) systems .

- Currently not required for activating the headquarters support organization.
NRC's January 13, 1984 letter (Reference 7.20) accepted 1-1/2 hours as the EOF activation goal for both NAPS and SPS local EOFs. However, the times for augmenting the local EOF Recovery Manager and Radiological Assessment Coordinator positions in NAPS Emergency Plan Table 5.2, Emergency and Recovery Corporate Response Required for Nuclear Station Emergencies, was listed as 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The corresponding table in the SPS Emergency Plan listed 1-1 /2 hours for these positions. This inconsistency was carried forward when an emergency response facility activation goal of "approximately 60 minutes" was added for the local EOF by NAPS Emergency Plan
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 14 of 30 Revision 18 (January 3, 1996) and of "approximately 90 minutes" for the SPS local EOF by SPS Emergency Plan Revision 40 (January 1, 1996).
Dominion Energy Virginia proposes 75-minutes following declaration of an Alert or higher emergency class as the Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC) activation goal (unless special circumstances apply). Table 2.3-1, Current and Proposed Staffing for Activation, lists the ERO positions required for activation of the proposed CERC . Special circumstances include situations where the movement of emergency responders could place them at risk, e.g., severe weather. Activation will be defined as the assembly of required positions in or under the operational control of the designated Corporate Response Manager and declaring the facility activated (i.e., ready to begin the turnover process with the affected station TSC(s)).
The NAPS and SPS on-shift staffing analyses (OSAs) showed that, for the event sequences analyzed, on-shift responders can appropriately respond to an emergency without an augmented staff for a time of up to 90 minutes. Thus, for these event sequences, the on-shift staff can analyze the conditions and declare the appropriate emergency class within 15 minutes as required by 10 CFR 50 , Appendix E, IV.C.2, notify the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and site-specific risk-jurisdiction 911 Centers, and respond to the emergency event during the proposed CERC's 75 minute augmentation goal.
The location of the proposed CERC facilitates prompt response by corporate support and management personnel who commute to the building on a regular basis. The cu rrent back-up central EOF and headquarters support organization staffs will transition into the staff for the proposed CERC . This ERO population participates in periodic augmentation capability assessments which have consistently demonstrated the capability to staff the existing organization within 75 minutes of a simulated event declaration.
The same training program guide for the current local EOF staff also governs training for the back-up central EOF and headquarters support organization staffs. Prior to implementation of the proposed CERC, this training program guide will be revised to reflect the new roles of the proposed CERC and the ERO members filling these roles wi ll be qualified accordingly. Training for key ERO members supporting NAPS and SPS wil l include station-specific differences, e.g ., plume exposure pathway risk jurisdictions, release pathways, station ingress and egress routes, offsite protective action zones, and evacuation time estimates. NAPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, and SPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, are 3-loop Westinghouse pressurized water reactors, and both stations have Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations; thus, the plans and procedures for operation and emergency response are similar.
Upon implementation of the proposed CERC, responsibility for the key EOF functions listed in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline, for the Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP) and ERO Drill Participation performance indicators (Pis) will be updated as shown below:

If the option for EROs with common facilities is exercised , negative performance, positive performance , and performance enhancing ERO participation opportunities for the proposed CERC positions will be credited for both NAPS and SPS.
2.4 S IZE The total usable space of the proposed CERC is approximately 5987 square feet.
Based on the 75 square foot per person guidance of NUREG-0696, this provides enough space for approximately 80 individuals. The expected number of EOF personnel during a dual-station event, includ ing offsite agency responders , will be less than 60 .
Space is allocated for accident assessment, radiation assessment and offsite monitoring , offsite communications , command and control , conferences, NRC team members, and administrative support. Office space is provided for federal incident responders , administrative services, offsite communications , accident assessment, radiation assessment, offsite monitoring , command and control , conferences, NRC team members, and storage . The space is sufficient for service of equipment and displays. Phones and special communications equipment are provided as needed throughout the facility at personnel work stations. Individuals needing access to plant data are provided access via personal computers (PCs). Space is provided for ready access to functional displays of data th rough the use of computer mon itors and video display monitors.

Figure 2.4-8: Proposed CERC Government Affairs, Media Monitoring and News Room Images 2.5 RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING The proposed CERC is further than 10 miles from NAPS and SPS. Consequently, the habitability criteria described in NUREG-0696, Section 4.2, Table 2, are not applicable.
2.6 COMMUNICATIONS The proposed CERC has reliable voice communication to the NAPS and SPS Main Control Rooms, TSCs, the NRC, State and local emergency operations centers, nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) suppliers, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the US Department of Energy, and the Joint Information Center. The existing communications systems include:
- Dominion Energy Virginia-installed telephone system (to manage licensee emergency response resources and communications with NAPS and SPS TSCs) with access to the Dominion Energy Virginia internal phone system, public switched network and long distance
- NAPS and SPS lnsta-Phones (for providing emergency notifications to the Commonwealth of Virginia and site-specific risk jurisdiction 911 Centers/EOCs)
- Radio systems for communication with NAPS and SPS field monitoring teams to coordinate radiological monitoring
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 22 of 30
- NRC Emergency Telecommunications System telephones (Emergency Notification System, Health Physics Network, Protective Measures Counterpart Link, Reactor Safety Counterpart Link, Management Counterpart Link, and local area network connection are provided by the Dominion Energy Virginia communications infrastructure)
- Virginia Satellite Radio/Telephone (to be installed upon implementation)
- Facsimile (fax) transmission capability
- Scanning (e-mail) transmission capability The emergency communications systems at the proposed CERC are designed to ensure the reliable, timely flow of information between all parties having an emergency response role . The lnsta-Phone networks enable Control Rooms, TSCs, current local EOFs and back-up central EOF communications with the Commonwealth of Virginia EOC and site-specific risk-jurisdiction 911 Centers/local EOCs and with each other. The lnsta-Phone will be the primary means of communicating event classification changes to the Commonwealth of Virginia EOC, and site-specific risk-jurisdiction 911 Centers/local EOCs.
Existing commercial telephone service and fax will serve as the designated back-up means of communications in the event of an lnsta-Phone failure. Dominion Energy Virginia has telecommunications capabilities that can provide access to long distance networks without having to go through a local telephone company switch. Dominion Energy Virginia maintains an extensive private Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) that serves to connect the ITC to NAPS and SPS. Telephones are provided for the respective Federal and State representatives. Multifunction machines with fax capability are available in the proposed CERC to support the transmission of information between the emergency response facilities and state, local, and federal authorities.
2.7 INSTRUMENTATION, DATA SYSTEM EQUIPMENT, AND POWER SUPPLIES Data acquisition for the proposed CERC is achieved through a secure connection to the plant computer servers. The proposed CERC has access to displays that are representative of the displays in the Control Room via the Dominion Energy Virginia Wide and Local Area Networks (WAN and LAN). Dominion Energy Virginia has established an availability goal for the LAN/WAN that exceeds the 0.01 unavailability goal in NUREG-0696. The proposed CERC has access to the same data points that are available to Operators in the Control Room and emergency responders in the TSCs, including the SPDS data points. The video display system in the proposed CERC will display the graphics on screens in the Command Center area.
The workstations and related LAN/WAN equipment require AC power to operate. A loss of AC power to the equipment, located at numerous locations throughout the Dominion Energy Virginia system, will cause a loss of this capability. The LAN equipment housed within the proposed CERC is provided with back-up power. The core network equipment in the ITC is also provided with back-up power.
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 23 of 30 Since the proposed CERC is located offsite, its electrical equipment loads will not affect any safety related power source. Loss of primary commercial power would not cause loss of any stored data vital to EOF functions . Historical data from the site will be accessible from a historical database. This information could be accessed by the proposed CERC, as needed, after power is restored to the LAN .
2.8 TECHNICAL DATA AND DATA SYSTEM The proposed CERC will have the capability to receive, store, process, and display information needed to perform assessments of actual and potential offsite environmental consequences during an emergency at NAPS and SPS. A proxy server will allow the display of data points that cover Type A, B, C, D, and E variables discussed in NUREG-0696, Section 4.8. In addition, the meteorological variables required for dose assessment will be made available through the proxy server. This data will also be accessible from a historical database. The new communication voice and data network will meet the functional intent of the criteria described in NUREG-0696, Sections 4 .7 and 4.8.
Offsite dose assessment is performed for NAPS and SPS using the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS). MIDAS is a computer software program intended for use at nuclear generating stations and other emergency response facilities in the event of an actual or potential release of airborne radioactivity to the environment at levels warranting declaration of an emergency specified in the NAPS and SPS emergency plans .
2.9 RECORDS AVAILABILITY AND MANAGEMENT Hard copies of key reference materials for NAPS and SPS will be maintained in the ITC.
In addition , station design documentation, plant drawings , procedures, etc., are available electronically via the local area network connection. Examples include:
- Plant Technical Specifications - accessed electronically
- Plant operating procedures - accessed electronically
- Emergency operating procedures - accessed electronically
- Final Safety Analysis Reports - accessed electronically
- Emergency plans - controlled hard copies of station emergency plans and State emergency plans (including site specific appendices)
- Offsite population distribution data - accessed electronically
- Evacuation plans - accessed electronically
- Licensee employee radiation exposure history - accessed electronically
- Drawings - accessed electronically Hard copy records will be maintained by a controlled distribution process.

3.0 CONCLUSION
The proposed replacement of the NAPS and SPS local EOFs, and their common back-up central EOF, with a consolidated EOF (proposed CERC) more than 25 miles from both power reactor sites constitute emergency plan changes requiring Commission approval per 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4) to satisfy the provisions of Appendix E Section IV.E.8.b.
4.0 JUSTIFICATION The proposed change affects the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, including relocation of CERP content, but does not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The change does not alter any of the assumptions used in the safety analyses, nor does it cause any safety system parameters to exceed their acceptance limit. Therefore, the proposed change has no adverse effect on plant safety. Additionally, the changes can be made without adverse impact to plant operations or to the health and safety of the public. Based on the technical analysis performed by Dominion Energy Virginia, the proposed change is acceptable.
Requirements and Guidance - EOF Relocation 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.E.8.b requires a licensee desiring to locate an EOF more than 25 miles from a nuclear power reactor site to request prior NRG approval by submitting an application for an amendment to its license. For the purposes of the proposed change, this requirement clearly applies because the proposed consolidated EOF in Glen Allen, Virginia is greater than 25 miles from both of the facilities that it serves. In addition, a back-up facility for the proposed CERC is not required because IV.E.8.b requires a back-up when the primary EOF is less than 10 miles from the site only.
Section IV.E.8.b of Appendix E also requires that, for an EOF located more than 25 miles from a nuclear reactor site, provisions be made for locating NRG and offsite responders closer to the reactor site to facilitate face-to-face interaction with emergency personnel entering and leaving the site. This regulation also describes the requirements for space and equipment as follows:
- Space for members of an NRG site team and federal, state, and local responders
- Additional space for conducting briefings with emergency response personnel
- Communication with other licensee and offsite emergency response facilities
- Access to plant data and radiol9gical information
- Access to copying equipment and office supplies Utilizing the clarification of the above items contained in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, near-site response locations will be established to meet this requirement, as described above.
Section IV.E.8.c of Appendix E establishes requirements for data acquisition and display, technical analysis of event conditions, and support response for multiple reactor
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 25 of 30 sites. Compliance with these requirements, as applicable to the proposed change, is discussed in Section 2.1 above.
The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(1) emergency planning standard for assigning primary responsibilities for licensee and state and local organization emergency response and for each organization to have staff to respond and to augment on a continuous basis will continue to be met because:
- Primary responsibilities will continue to be assigned as described above and in the proposed NAPS and SPS emergency plan revisions.
- Dominion Energy Virginia staff will respond and augment on a continuous basis, as described in the proposed NAPS and SPS emergency plans.
The 10 CFR 50.4 7(b )(3) emergency planning standard for making arrangements to accommodate State and local staff at the licensee's EOF will continue to be met because space is provided for the Commonwealth of Virginia VDEM liaison and VDH ORH team (risk-jurisdiction radiological emergency response plans do not include provisions for staffing the existing local EOF or proposed CERC).
The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) emergency planning standard for providing and maintaining adequate emergency facilities and equipment to support the emergency response will continue to be met. After the proposed consolidation, NAPS and SPS will each continue to have an EOF from which effective direction can be given and effective control can be exercised during an emergency. Furthermore, the proposed CERC meets the EOF criteria in NUREG-0696, as discussed below, with the exception of its distance from NAPS and SPS. The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(9) emergency planning standard for having adequate methods, systems, and equipment for assessing and monitoring the actual or potential offsite consequences of a radiological emergency condition is encompassed in the EOF criteria in NUREG-0696, as discussed below.
Section 4 of NUREG-0696 provides guidance on the overall criteria for the EOF:
- Functions
- Location , structure , and habitability
- Staffing and training
- Size
- Radiological monitoring
- Communications
- Instrumentation , data system equipment, and power supplies
- Technical data and data system
- Records availability and management Each of these criteria , as applicable to the proposed change, is discussed in Sections 2.1 through 2.9 above.
NUREG-0696 expands on the Functions criterion with the following detail (expanded list included in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01 ):
- Management of overall licensee emergency response

- Coordination of radiological and environmental assessment
- Determination of recommended public protective actions
- Notification of offsite agencies
- Coordination of event, plant, and response information provided to public information staff for dissemination to the media and public
- Staffing and activation of the facility within time frames and at emergency classification levels defined in the licensee emergency plan
- Coordination of emergency response activities with Federal, State, tribal, and local agencies
- Locating NRC and offsite agency staff closer to a site if the EOF is greater than 25 miles from the site
- Obtaining and displaying key plant data and radiological information for each unit or plant the EOF serves

5.0 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Dominion Energy Virginia has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration (SHC) is warranted for the proposed amendments by addressing the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) as discussed below.
Criterion 1:
Do the proposed amendments involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed amendments affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, including relocation of CERP content, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed amendments do not modify any plant equipment and does not impact any failure modes that could lead to an accident. Additionally, the proposed amendments have no effect on the consequences of any analyzed accident since the amendments do not affect any equipment related to accident mitigation. Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Criterion 2:
Do the proposed amendments create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 1 - Page 27 of 30 Response: No.
The proposed amendments affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, including relocation of CERP content, but does not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. It does not modify any plant equipment and there are no impacts on the capability of existing equipment to perform its intended functions. No system setpoints are being modified and no new failure modes are introduced . The proposed amendments do not introduce new accident initiator or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident. Therefore, the proposed amendments do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
Criterion 3:
Do the proposed amendments involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
The proposed amendments affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, including relocation of CERP content, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed amendments do not affect any of the assumptions used in the accident analyses, or any operability requirements for equipment important to plant safety. Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
In summary, Dominion Energy Virginia concludes that the proposed amendments do not represent a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c).
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
Dominion Energy Virginia has determined that the proposed change would not change requirements with respect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 10 CFR 20, nor would it change inspection or surveillance requirements. Dominion Energy Virginia has evaluated the proposed change and has determined that the change does not involve:
- A Significant Hazards Consideration,
- A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of an effluent that may be released offsite, or
- A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed amendments meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9) and (10)(ii). Therefore , pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change .

Response Organization to respond to emergency events that may occur at the North Anna or Surry Power Station. Included are provisions to commit Company resources to the response effort, to allow deviation from standard policy and to provide long term recovery support. The CERP is also designed to ensure compatibility with the planning efforts of offsite organizations which may provide assistance in the event of an emergency.
The basic purpose of the Plan is to establish a corporate emergency response organization which will support the affected station with respect to emergency management and resources, and to provide facilities, equipment, and services necessary for recovery.
The ultimate goal is to ensure the protection of the health and safety of the general public during unusual or emergency conditions.
The organizational framework of the CERP dictates that the Corporate Response Manager is responsible for implementation of this plan.

emergency is of such a magnitude that Company resources are overextended. Such support may be additional manpower to augment the station's operating staff, manpower in specialized disciplines, and specialized emergency response equipment and services.
Upon activation of the CERP, the Corporate Response Manager directs operation of the Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC), while the Recovery Manager directs Local Emergency Operations Facility operations and serves as a liaison between the station and CERC.
Upon activation of the CERC, the Nuclear News Manager will coordinate public information activities and, after it is activated by the Commonwealth of Virginia, interface with the Joint Information Center (JIG) (Virginia State Police Administrative Headquarters in Chesterfield, Virginia).
Official press releases to the media, including briefings by the Chief Technical Spokesperson, are made from the JIC. Following approval by the Corporate Response Manager, press releases are distributed to the media and, when it is activated, to the Local Media Center for distribution to news personnel assembled at. that facility.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Dominion Energy Virginia proposes additional changes to the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) and Surry Power Station (SPS) emergency plans. It has been determined prior Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG) approval is required in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4) because the proposed changes are considered a reduction in effectiveness.
The approved emergency plans are the plans referenced in letters dated May 10, 1983 and May 13, 1983, which documented that NUREG-0737 Item 111.A.2.1, Emergency Preparedness, Upgrade Emergency Plans to Appendix E, 10 CFR 50, was complete for NAPS and SPS, respectively. These emergency plans were dated July 22, 1982 and July 29, 1982, respectively. The current emergency plans, NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44 and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63, are dated February 2, 2017 and March 16, 2017, respectively. Dominion Energy Virginia has concluded that following implementation of the proposed changes, the NAPS and SPS emergency plans will continue to meet the requirements of Appendix E and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b), and will continue to provide reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency.
The proposed changes consist of the following six areas of the NAPS and SPS emergency plans:
- Clarification of references to emergency response organization (ERO) augmentation and emergency response facility (ERF) activation goals.
- Elimination of ringdown phones between the EOF and risk jurisdictions capable of activating the site-specific Early Warning System (EWS) siren systems.
- Replacement of references to "equivalency credit" for required training sessions with reference to administrative processes for training exemptions and equivalent qualifications.
- Establishment of the station Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC) as the approval authority for emergency plan revisions and the station Manager Nuclear Emergency Preparedness (NEP) as the approval authority for emergency plan implementing procedure (EPIP) revisions.
- Replacement of reference to letters of agreement being maintained in an emergency plan appendix with references to these letters being maintained separately.
- Expansion of the time period for, at least once in every eight-year exercise cycle, initiating a drill or exercise from between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. to starting between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. on a weekday or during a weekend.
Details regarding each of the above proposed changes are provided in Sections 2.1 through 2.6 below.

2.0 DESCRIPTION
2.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION AUGMENTATION AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITY ACTIVATION GOALS Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to clarify references to emergency response organization (ERO) augmentation and emergency response facility (ERF) activation goals. The NAPS and SPS emergency plans state these goals as approximations, do not define the time from which achieving these goals is measured, and do not define ERF activation. In addition, there is an inconsistency between the NAPS and SPS emergency plan activation goals for the existing local emergency operations facilities (EOFs), and augmentation goals for select EOF and headquarters support positions.
Generic Letter 80-22, Transmittal of NUREG-0654, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," dated March 10, 1980, provided interim guidance and updated acceptance criteria to applicants and licensees. Table 8-1, Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies, listed major functional areas, major tasks, and position titles or expertise, with numbers in columns headed "On Shift" and "Additions Within 30 Minutes." The associated evaluation criteria referred to availability of capabilities and staffing within one-half hour following the declaration of the emergency class. When NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1 was issued in October 1980, "one-half hour following" was replaced by "a short period after
and referenced capability as indicated in Table 8-1. This table contained a column headed "Capability for Additions" with "30 min" and "60 min" sub-columns within that column.
Proposed NAPS Emergency Plan dated May 1, 1980, Table 5.1, Minimum Shift Manning Requirements, provided a table listing major functional areas, major tasks, and position titles or expertise, with numbers in columns headed "On Shift" and "Additions Within 60 Minutes." Headings in proposed page changes dated June 25, 1980 and July 24, 1980 were identical.
Proposed SPS Emergency Plan dated May 1, 1980, Table 5.1, Minimum Shift Manning Requirements, provided a table listing major functional areas, major tasks, and position titles or expertise, with numbers in columns headed "On Shift" and "Additions Within 60 Minutes After Notification:"
The post-EP Appraisal NAPS Emergency Plan dated July 22, 1982 (Revision 0), Table 5.1 listed major functional areas, location, major tasks, and emergency titles, with numbers in columns headed "On Shift" and "Additional Within Approx." over "30 Min."
and "60 Min." columns.
Section 5, Organizational Control of Emergencies, of the post-EP Appraisal SPS Emergency Plan dated July 29, 1982 (Revision 0), was revised on August 2, 1982 (Revision 1). This table listed major functional areas, major tasks, and position titles,

' 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 3 of 19 with numbers in columns headed "On Shift" and "Additions Within 60 Minutes After Notification." SPS Emergency Plan dated September 17, 1982 (Revision 3) replaced the column "Additions Within 60 Minutes After Notification" with a "Capability For Additions" heading over "==30 Min." and "==60 Min." columns.
Although NRC's January 13, 1984 letter that responded to letters dated April 8, 1982, December 6, 1982, April 14, 1983 and May 6, 1983 regarding the design of the EOFs for NAPS and SPS accepted "1 1/2 hours" as the EOF activation goal, the times stated in NAPS Emergency Plan Table 5.2, Emergency and Recovery Corporate Response Required for Nuclear Station Emergencies, for the local EOF Recovery Manager and Radiological Assessment Coordinator positions was 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The corresponding table in the SPS Emergency Plan listed "1 1h hours" for these positions.
By letter dated November 30, 1988, a request for approval was submitted to revise NAPS Emergency Plan, Table 5.1 to align response times for other positions with the "approximately one hour after activation" TSC activation goal described in NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, and Table 5.2 to align position-specific local EOF response times with the EOF activation goal NRC accepted in its January 13, 1984 letter. A similar request for prior approval to revise SPS Emergency Plan, Table 5.1 was submitted on June 30, 1989. NRC letter dated September 8, 1989 indicated that the requested change did not provide an equivalent alternative to recommended augmentation times.
Consequently, the previous requests were superseded by letter dated January 17, 1990, which proposed adjusting the TSC Core/Thermal Hydraulic Engineer augmentation time from approximately 30 minutes to approximately 60 minutes, primarily due to the capabilities of the on-shift Shift Technical Advisor. Letter dated May 18, 1990, provided NRC's review and conclusion that the proposed changes were consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.47(b), Appendix E, and Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737.
By letter dated February 18, 1994, a request for approval was submitted to revise the NAPS and SPS Emergency Plan, Table 5.1 to address on-shift staffing and delete Table 5.2. The proposed alternative to position-specific augmentation was facility /
function-activation including the positions listed in Tables 5.1 and 5.2, and other positions considered necessary for emergency response facility functionality. The proposed facility activation goals were within approximately 60 minutes, except for the Surry local EOF with a proposed facility activation goal of within approximately 90 minutes. By letter dated July 6, 1995, NRC indicated that the requested change would be considered a decrease in effectiveness. A July 18, 1995 NRC summary of a July 11, 1995 meeting on this subject documented a new package would be submitted and that commitments for emergency response facility activation goals would be added to the respective site emergency plan. The revised emergency plan submittal, which included adding facility activation goals of approximately 60 minutes (approximately 90 minutes for the Surry local EOF) and changing the Table 5.1 column headings from "Additional Within Approximately 30 Min." to "Additional Within Approximately 45 Min." was
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 4 of 19 submitted by letter dated September 6, 1995. NRC letters, with associated safety evaluation reports, dated December 12, 1995 for NAPS and December 13, 1995 for SPS, provided NRC's approval of the proposed change and concluded that the extension of response times for selected positions was reasonable and that the NAPS and SPS emergency plans continued to meet the standard required by 10 CFR 50.47(b). NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 18 (January 3, 1996) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 40 (January 1, 1996) implemented the approved changes.
The proposed change is to specify that the start time for augmentation is the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency class (unless special circumstances apply), clarify references to approximate times by rounding-up approximations to the next quarter hour (e.g., approximately 60 minutes becomes 75 minutes), align NAPS and SPS ERFs activation. goals with the proposed Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC) activation goal, and define ERF activation as the assembly of required positions in or under the operational control of the designated ERF lead and their declaring the facility activated. Special circumstances include those where the movement of emergency responders could place them at risk, e.g., security conditions, severe weather, hazardous environments.
The NAPS and SPS on-shift staffing analyses (OSAs) showed that, for the event sequences analyzed, on-shift responders can appropriately respond to an emergency without an augmented staff for a time period of up to 90 minutes. Thus, the on-shift staff can analyze the conditions and declare the appropriate emergency class within the 15 minutes required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.C.2, notify the Commonwealth*
of Virginia Emergency Operations Center (EOG) and site-specific risk-jurisdiction 911 Centers, and respond to the event for 75 minutes after event declaration.
2.2 ELIMINATION OF COUNTY RINGDOWN PHONES Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to eliminate automatic ringdown (ARD) phones between the EOF and risk jurisdictions capable of activating the site-specific Early Warning System (EWS) siren systems.
The following are excerpts from a letter, subject: NUREG-0696, Emergency Response Facilities, North Anna and Surry Power Stations, dated April 8, 1982:
"At the Surry Local EOF, communications will also include ringdown phones to James City County and Surry County."
"At the North Anna Local EOF, communications will also include ringdown phones to Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties."
A revised submittal, subject: Generic Letter 82-33, Emergency Operations Facilities, North Anna and Surry Power Stations, dated May 6, 1983, replying to Generic Letter 82-33 (Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737 - Emergency Response Capability) Section
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 5 of 19 8.4.1.f reaffirmed that the communications links described above would be provided.
NRC letter dated January 13, 1984 replied to these submittals and indicated that a post-implementation appraisal would be conducted after the emergency response facilities were completed.
SPS Emergency Plan dated February 18, 1988 (unnumbered, Revision 31) Section 7.2.1, Communications Systems Within the Station, and Figure 7.4, Communications Links, identified that the local EOF had ARDs to several locations, including Surry County and James City County. The NAPS Emergency Plan dated October 2, 1989 (Revision 12) added Table 7.1, ERF [Emergency Response Facility] Communications, which identified that the local EOF had ARDs to several locations, including Louisa
- County and Spotsylvania County. SPS Emergency Plan Revision 33 (effective February 21, 1991) relocated the contents of Section 7.2.1 to a new Table 7.1, ERF Communications. The current NAPS and SPS emergency plans (NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44, effective February 2, 2017, and SPS Emergency Plan (Revision 63, effective March 16, 2017) continue to identify that there are ARDs from the respective site's local EOF to their associated counties in Table 7.1. Figure 7.3, Communications Links, in SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63 also identifies this ARD capability for SPS.
The difference between these counties and other risk jurisdictions is that they are capable of activating their site-specific EWS siren systems (the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Center is capable of activating both the Surry EWS sirens and the North Anna EWS sirens). As described in SPS and NAPS Emergency Plan, Sections 6.2, Protective Actions, recommendations for offsite protective actions are made to the State [Commonwealth of Virginia]. Commonwealth of Virginia protocols provide for consultation with risk jurisdictions prior to the issuance of protective action decisions by the Governor. No records have been found indicating that these county ARDs have ever been used during any drill, exercise or actual event, although functionality has been checked each quarter for more than 30 years.
2.3 TRAINING EXEMPTION/EQUIVALENT QUALIFICATION Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to replace references to "equivalency credit" for required training sessions with reference to administrative processes for training exemptions and equivalent qualifications. The NAPS and SPS emergency plans identify the approval authority for awarding equivalency credit as the Director Nuclear Emergency Preparedness and the Site Vice President.
These provisions were not described in the approved emergency plans (NAPS Revision 0, July 22, 1982 and unnumbered SPS Revision 0, July 29, 1982). These provisions were added to the NAPS and SPS emergency plans in Revision 12 (October 2, 1989) and Revision 34 (March 10, 1992), respectively. When added, the approval authority was vested in the Superintendent of Nuclear Training and the Station Manager. These approval authorities were selected at that time because emergency planning management was assigned to the Corporate Emergency Planning department which
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 6 of 19 intertaced with on-site coordinators in the station organizations. These positions were identified as appropriate because the ERO was populated by employees across multiple departments.
The Superintendent of Nuclear Training was changed to the Director Nuclear Emergency Preparedness when the. Corporate Emergency Preparedness Department assumed line-management responsibility for on-site coordination activities, including responsibility for training in 1996. This change was reflected in NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 19 (December 11, 1996) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 41 (December 17, 1996). The Station Manager was changed to the Site Vice President in NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 22 (July 17, 1998) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 43 (August 12, 1998) pursuant to Technical Specification Amendment No. 212 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-4 and Amendment No. 193 to Facility Operating License No, NPF-7 for NAPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively (issued on June 23, 1998), and Amendment No. 215 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-32 and Amendment No.
215 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-37 for SPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively (issued on June 19, 1998). As described in Topical Report DOM-QA-1, Nuclear Facility Quality Assurance Program Description (Revision 22, effective July 1, 2016), an emergency preparedness management position now exists within the station organization. Thus, there is now a separate facility emergency preparedness group responsible for development and maintenance of the Company radiological emergency plan for NAPS and a separate facility emergency preparedness group for SPS.
Accordingly, the Director Nuclear Emergency Preparedness was changed to the location-specific emergency preparedness manager in NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44 (effective February 2, 2017) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63 (effective March 16, 2017).
The administrative process for training exemptions and equivalent qualifications requires approval by the training program owner. The location-specific emergency preparedness training program owner for station ERO positions is the NAPS or SPS Manager Nuclear Emergency Preparedness, as appropriate, and for corporate positions the Manager Nuclear Fleet Emergency Preparedness. The proposed change will align the emergency preparedness training exemption and equivalent qualification processes with the process employed by other nuclear training programs.
2.4 APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR CHANGES TO EMERGENCY PLANS AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to establish the station Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC) as the approval authority for changes to the Emergency Plan and establish the respective site Manager Nuclear Emergency Preparedness (NEP) as the approval authority for emergency plan implementing procedure (EPIP) revisions.
Appendix "A" to License No. NPF-4, NAPS Unit 1 Technical Specifications, dated November 26, 1977, included Administrative Control 6.5.1.6.j, which indicates: "[T]he
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 7 of 19 SNSOC (Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee) shall be responsible for ...
Review of the Emergency Plan and implementing procedures and shall submit recommended changes to the Chairman of the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee."
By letter dated February 23, 1981 , which supplemented requests to modify SPS Technical Specifications dated March 31, 1980 (supplemented by letter dated August 4, 1980), August 28, 1980 and November 14, 1980, it was requested that Administrative Control 6.1.C.1.f .10 be added to indicate the SNSOC shall be responsible for: "Review of the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures and shall submit recommended changes to the Chairman of the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee." This addition was not explicitly described in the accompanying Safety Evaluation Report, which described other changes. The SER stated: "[T]he proposed changes to the Administrative Controls Section of Technical Specifications formalizes the licensee's new corporate and plant organization." Associated Amendment No. 69 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-32 and Amendment No. 69 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-37 for the Surry Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, were issued on May 22, 1981. *
. Sections 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 of the approved Emergency Plan (July 22, 1982 for NAPS and July 29, 1982 for SPS, Revisions 0) stated that revisions to the emergency plan and EPIPs shall be reviewed and approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee (SNSOC). These provisions aligned with the administrative controls in NAPS and SPS Technical Specifications described above. These provisions were relocated to Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.1 of NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 8, effective September 27, 1984, and combined into Section 8.2.1 of NAPS Emergency Plan, Revision 12, effective October 2, 1989. These provisions were relocated to Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.1 of SPS Emergency Plan, Revision 15, effective June 28, 1984, and combined into Section 8.2.1 of SPS Emergency Plan, Revision 30, effective July 30, 1987.
The proposed revision is to split the existing Section 8.2.1 into three separate sections addressing the annual review of the emergency plan and EPIPs (Section 8.2.1 ), revision of the emergency plan (Section 8.2.3), and maintenance of the EPIPs (Section 8.2.4).
Also, the reference to 10CFR50.54(q) in the existing Section 8.2.1 will specify sub-sections (3) and (4) with respect to emergency plan revisions, and sub-section (2) with respect to maintenance of EPIPs.
By letters dated November 2, 1984, modifications to NAPS and SPS Technical Specifications were proposed with respect to the approval authority for changes to the Emergency Plan and its implementing procedures. Previously, following review by the SNSOC, recommended Emergency Plan and EPIP changes were submitted to the SNSOC Chairman, a role assigned to the Station Manager. The proposed change was to assign the new Assistant Station Manager (Nuclear Safety and Licensing) position as the SNSOC Chairman and for the SNSOC to review Emergency Plan and EPIP
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 8 of 19 changes and submit recommended changes to the Station Manager. The NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated December 11, 1985, documented that the proposed changes, which included but were not limited to the approval of emergency plan and implementing procedure changes, were acceptable as they meet the acceptance criteria of Sections 13.1.1, 13.1.2, and 13.4 of NUREG-0800, the Standard Review Plan.
Associated Amendment No. 104 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 for SPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, were issued on December 11, 1985. Associated Amendment No. 78 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-4 and Amendment No. 67 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-7 for NAPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, were issued on May 6, 1986. These provisions were incorporated into Section 8.2.1 of SPS Emergency Plan Revision 30, effective July 30, 1987. These provisions were incorporated into Section 8.2.1 of NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 12, effective October 2, 1989.
By letter dated July 20, 1993, modifications to NAPS and SPS Technical Specifications were proposed to remove NAPS Administrative Control 6.5.1.6.j and SPS Administrative Control 6.1.C.1.f .10. These requests were made pursuant to a proposed generic communication published in Federal Register Volume 58 (17293), which allowed re-locating these requirements to the Emergency Plan. Guidance was subsequently issued as NRC Generic Letter 93-07, Modification of the Technical Specification Administrative Control Requirements for Emergency and Security Plans, dated December 28, 1993. NRC Safety Evaluation Report dated March 1, 1994, documented that the proposed changes were acceptable as they met the acceptance criteria of Section 5.5.1 of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications. Associated Amendment No. 180 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-4 and Amendment No. 161 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-7 for NAPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, and Amendment No. 188 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 for SPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, were issued on March 1, 1995.
Technical Specification Amendment No. 212 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-4 and Amendment No. 193 to Facility Operating License No, NPF-7 for NAPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively (issued on June 23, 1998), and Amendment No. 215 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 for SPS Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively (issued on June 19, 1998), replaced references to the Station Manager with Site Vice President with respect to Emergency Plan and implementing procedure approval.
Subsequently, NAPS and SPS Emergency Plan Section 8.2.1 references to the Station Manager were revised to reference the Site Vice President as the approval authority for Emergency Plan and implementing procedure changes (NAPS Emergency Plan, Revision 22 (July 17, 1998) and SPS Emergency Plan, Revision 43 (August 12, 1998)).
Prior to 1982, emergency planning was one of multiple functions assigned to a series of corporate departments (e.g., Technical Services, Corporate Licensing and Quality Assurance, and Corporate Quality Assurance). In January 1982, a Corporate Emergency Planning department was established for NAPS and SPS, interfacing with
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 9 of 19 on-site coordinators in the station organizations. In August 1996, the Corporate Emergency Preparedness Department assumed line-management responsibility for on-site coordination activities. As described in Topical Report DOM-QA-1, Nuclear Facility Quality Assurance Program Description (Revision 22, effective July 1, 2016), an emergency preparedness management position now exists within the station organization. Thus, there is now a facility Emergency Preparedness group responsible for development and maintenance of the Company radiological emergency plans for NAPS and a separate group for SPS.
Benchmarking has revealed that approval of proposed revisions to the Emergency Plan by multi-disciplinary plant operating review committees (PORCs), which Dominion Energy Virginia refers to as FSRCs, is typical in the industry. Approval by a site executive (or corporate executive for fleet emergency plans) is not universal. For example, at the Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, lnc.'s Millstone Power Station, the approval authority is vested in the FSRC. With respect to EPIPs, benchmarking did not identify any other stations where EPIP revisions required PORC review (there were examples where specific EPIPs received a PORC review). In most cases, EP manager(s) maintain the authority to approve EPIP revisions.
Designating the FSRC as the approval authority for revisions to the Emergency Plan will align the content of the NAPS Emergency Plan for Units 1 and 2 with Section 11.P.4 of the North Anna Unit 3 Combined License Emergency Plan. This will preclude having to reconcile approval of these documents in the future.
Consistent with the proposed change, Topical Report DOM-QA-1 Section 6.3, Document Review and Approval, specifies, "[D]ocuments, including procedures, programs and changes thereto are approved by responsible management or the facility safety review committee, as applicable."
2.5 MAINTENANCE OF EMERGENCY PLAN LETTERS OF AGREEMENT Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to replace references to letters of agreement being maintained in an appendix to the Emergency Plan with references to these letters being maintained separately.
Section 5.3.3 of the approved NAPS and SPS Emergency Plans (July 22, 1982 for NAPS and July 29, 1982 for SPS, Revisions 0) documents that letters of agreement in support of the NAPS and SPS Emergency Plans would be re-negotiated once every 2 years. The letters of agreement were included in an appendix to the Emergency Plans.
Section 5.3.3 of the current NAPS and SPS Emergency Plan contains a similar statement and the current letters of agreement also appear in an appendix to NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44 (effective February 2, 2017) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63 (effective March 16, 2017). NUREG-0053 Supplement 11, Safety Evaluation Report related to the operation of North Anna Power Station, Unit 2 for
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 10 of 19 NAPS Unit 2 (August 1980), Appendix B, Emergency Preparedness Evaluation Report, Section P indicates: "[R]e-negotiated letters will be distributed as revisions to the Plan."
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants, Section 11.B.9 indicates copies of agreements are to be appended to the licensee's Emergency Plan. NRG Region II EP Inspectors have recommended that the letters of agreement be removed from the Emergency Plans and be maintained on-file where they are easily assessable for review during inspections. Benchmarking has revealed that a large number of licensees have Emergency Plans that contain a list of agencies with which letters of agreement are maintained without having the letters of agreement in the Emergency Plan.
2.6 EXPANDING THE TIME PERIOD FOR STARTING A DRILL OR EXERCISE OUTSIDE NORMAL WORKING HOURS Dominion Energy Virginia proposes to expand the time period for starting a drill or exercise outside normal working hours. Currently, at least once in every eight-year exercise cycle, a drill or exercise is required to be initiated "between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m." It is proposed to change the initiation time to "between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. on a weekday or during a weekend."
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (November 1980), Section 11.N.1.b, provided evaluation criteria for meeting the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) emergency planning standard, which concerns drills and exercises. As originally presented, this criteria called for each organization to make provisions to start an exercise between 6:00 p.m. and midnight, and another between midnight and 6:00 a.m. At the time the criteria were developed, exercise frequency was annual and there was a five year period during which major elements of the plans and preparedness organizations were to be tested.
Subsequently, on September 28, 1983, FEMA published the "Review and Approval of State and Local Radiological Emergency Plans and Preparedness" final rule, 44 CFR 350 in the Federal Register (48 FR 44332). 44 CFR 350 changed the exercise frequency for state and local governments to a biennial requirement [see 44 CFR 350.9(c)(1 )-(4)]. The final rule became effective October 28, 1983.
FEMA Guidance Memorandum (GM) PR-1, Policy on NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 and 44 CFR 350 Periodic Requirements (October 1, 1985) was issued to interpret and clarify the subject requirements. In part, this guidance modified the NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 Section 11.N.1.b criteria (i.e., annual exercise, testing of major elements over a five-year period, and starting an exercise between 6:00 p.m. and midnight, and another between midnight and 6:00 a.m.) to correspond with 44 CFR 350.9(c)(1 )-(3) (i.e., a biennial exercise frequency). The revised guidance referred to a
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 11 of 19 biennial exercise, testing of major elements over a six-year period, and starting an .
exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. on a weekday or during a weekend.
NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 Supplement 1, Criteria for Utility Offsite Planning and Preparedness (September 1988), Section 11.N.1.b, carried forward provisions for a biennial exercise, testing of major elements over a six-year period, and starting an exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., but not include the, "on a weekday or during a weekend" clause.
NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants (November 2011 ),
Section IV.G, Challenging Drills and Exercises, revised Evaluation Criterion 11.N.1.b to recognize that scenarios may be based on non-accidental events, remove criteria for the conduct of post-exercise critiques for onsite and offsite emergency response organizations, and replace out-of-date references to an annual exercise and five-year period. In addition, criteria for conducting off-hour and unannounced exercises were relocated to new Evaluation Criterion 11.N.1.c, which appears below:
"Provisions must be made to start a drill or exercise between 6:00 p.m. and 4_:00 a.m. at least once in every eight-year exercise cycle. Some drills or exercises should be unannounced."
The current emergency plans (NAPS Emergency Plan Revision 44 (effective February 2, 2017) and SPS Emergency Plan Revision 63 (effective March 16, 2017)) reflect this criterion at Sections 8.6.1, Scheduling of Emergency Exercises.
The underlying objective of the criteria is to demonstrate response at times when the majority of licensee staff is away from their normal work location. It recognizes that commercial nuclear power plant emergencies may take place at any time, and response organizations should have the capability to respond at any time of the day or night, and on weekends. This involves augmentation by personnel who are at off-duty locations prior to the start of the exercise or drill. Starting a drill or exercise between 4:00 a.m.
and 6:00 p.m. on a weekend supports the underlying objective.
Expanding this time period will align the content of the NAPS Emergency Plan for Units 1 and 2 with Section 11.N.1.c of the North Anna Unit 3 Combined License Emergency Plan. This will preclude having to reconcile these documents in the future.
3.0 CONCLUSION
The proposed change to the NAPS and SPS Emergency Plans are as follows: 1) clarify ERO augmentation and ERF activation goals, 2) eliminate ringdown phones between the EOF and risk jurisdictions capable of activating the site-specific EWS siren systems,
- 3) replace references to "equivalency credit" for required training sessions with reference to administrative processes for training exemptions and equivalent qualifications, 4) establish the station's FSRCs as the approval authority for emergency plan revisions and the station's Manager NEP as the approval authority for EPIP
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 12 of 19 rev1s1ons, 5) replace reference to letters of agreement being maintained in an emergency plan appendix with references to these letters being maintained separately, and 6) expand the time period for crediting a drill or exercise initiated between 4:00 a.m.
and 6:00 p.m. on a weekend as satisfying off-hours criteria. The changes constitute reductions in the effectiven~ss of the emergency plan. Therefore, NRG approval is required to implement these changes to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(q)(4).
4.0 JUSTIFICATION The proposed changes affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plan, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The changes do not alter any of the assumptions used in the safety analyses, nor do they cause any safety system parameters to exceed its acceptance limit. Therefore, the proposed changes have no adverse effect on plant safety. Additionally, the changes would not have an adverse impact to plant operations or to the health and safety of the public. Based on the technical analysis performed by Dominion Energy Virginia, the proposed changes are acceptable.
4.1 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE - CLARIFICATION OF ERO AUGMENTATION AND ERF ACTIVATION GOALS The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) emergency planning standard for establishing and maintaining the process for timely augmentation of the on shift staff and associated program elements related to availability of timely augmentation of response capabilities will continue to be met as discussed above. The composition of the ERO and the functions of the ERFs remain the same. The proposed ERO augmentation and ERF activation goals replace the approximate times contained in the emergency plans with equivalent, specific goals.
4.2 ELIMINATION OF COUNTY RINGDOWN PHONES The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(6) emergency planning standard for providing prompt communications among principal response organizations and the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(8) emergency planning standard for maintaining adequate emergency facilities and equipment will continue to be met because reliable primary and back-up means of communications continue to exist. The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(5) emergency planning standard for notification methods and procedures, and the 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Part IV.D.3 requirements for having the capability to notify responsible state and local governmental agencies within 15 minutes after declaring an emergency are not reduced because reliable primary and back-up means of communications continue to exist.

The existing requirement was self-imposed, and based on the station organization and assignment of emergency preparedness training responsibilities that existed at the time. Assigning responsibility for making these decisions to the training program owner will bring ERO training processes into alignment with other nuclear training programs. This constitutes a change to the licensing basis requiring prior NRC review because this individual is lower in the organization's hierarchy.
4.4 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE - APPROVAL AUTHORITY FOR EMERGENCY PLAN AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURE REVISIONS
- 10 CFR 50 Appendix E, Part IV addresses the content of emergency plans, but does not prescribe licensee processes for making changes thereto. The 10 CFR 50.47(b){16) emergency planning standard concerning plan development and review will continue to be met because the responsibility for development and updating of emergency plans continues to be assigned. The designation of approval authority will conform with Topical Report DOM-QA-1, Nuclear Facility Quality Assurance Program Description.
4.5 REQUIREMENTS AND GUIDANCE - MAINTENANCE OF EMERGENCY PLAN LETTERS OF AGREEMENT The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) and (3) emergency planning standards for identifying offsite support services will continue to be met because the agreements will continue to be maintained and will be available for inspection. The 10 CFR 50.47(b)(16) emergency planning standard concerning plan development and review will continue to be met because the responsibility for development and updating of emergency plans continues to be assigned.
4.6 EXPANDING THE TIME PERIOD FOR STARTING A DRILL OR EXERCISE OUTSIDE NORMAL WORKING HOURS The 10 CFR 50A7(b)(14) emergency planning standard for conducting drills and exercises will continue to be met because a drill or exercise will continue to be started outside normal working hours during the eight-year exercise cycle. Starting a drill or exercise between "4:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on a weekend" is equivalent to starting a drill

5.0 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Dominion Energy Virginia has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration (SHC) is warranted with the proposed changes addressing the three criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) as discussed below.
Criterion 1:
Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed changes affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not modify any plant equipment and do not impact any failure modes that could lead to an accident. Additionally, the proposed changes have no effects on the consequences of any analyzed accident since the changes do not affect any equipment related to accident mitigation. Based on this discussion, the proposed amendment does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Criterion 2:
Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed changes affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not modify any plant equipment and do not impact the capability of existing equipment to perform its intended functions. No system setpoints are being modified. No new failure modes are introduced by the proposed changes. The proposed changes do not introduce any accident initiators or malfunctions that would cause a new or different kind of accident. Therefore, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
Criterion 3:
Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
Serial No.17-325 Docket Nos.: 50-338/339 50-280/281 52-017 72-2/16/55/56 Attachment 3 - Page 15 of 19 The proposed changes affect the NAPS and SPS emergency plans, but do not alter any of the requirements of the Operating Licenses or the Technical Specifications. The proposed changes do not affect any of the assumptions used in the accident analyses and does not affect any operability requirements for equipment important to plant safety.
Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
In summary, Dominion Energy Virginia concludes that the proposed change does not represent a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c).
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
Dominion Energy Virginia has determined that the proposed changes would not change requirements with respect to use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined by 10 CFR 20, nor would it change inspection or surveillance requirements. Dominion Energy Virginia has evaluated the proposed changes and has determined that the changes do not involve:
- A Significant Hazards Consideration,
- A significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of an effluent that may be released offsite, or
- A significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed changes meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (1 O)(ii). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed changes.

2.1 Site Specifics 2.2 2.2 Emergency Plan 2.2 2.3 North Anna Hydroelectric Unit 2.3
NAEP Page 2.2 Revision # TBD 2.0 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY 2.1 SITE SPECIFICS The North Anna Power Station consists of two units, each of which includes a three loop pressurized light water reactor, nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) and turbine generator furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation . The balance of the station was designed and constructed by the Company with the assistance of its ArchitecVEngineer, the Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation.
Each reactor unit design output is limited to maximum power level stated in the current Operating License.
The units are located on a peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Anna in Louisa County approximately 40 miles North Northwest of Richmond, Virginia; 38 miles East of Charlottesville, Virginia; and 24 miles Southwest of Fredericksburg , Virginia. Cooling water, contained by an earthen dam structure, is obtained from the 17 mile long North Anna Reservoir. An Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located on the plant site.
2.2 EMERGENCY PLAN The North Anna Power Station Emergency Plan (the Plan) describes the organization, facilities, emergency response measures, and functional interfaces with offsite agencies which can be used to respond to a broad range of defined emergencies. The organization has well defined responsibilities and specific authorities which provide for effective control and coordination of the emergency response, both onsite and offsite. The organization is augmented, as required, to address situations with the most serious potential consequences.
The Plan is formulated for compatibility with existing local , State, and Federal response organizations which may render emergency assistance. A coordinated response effort between the company and other agencies supports the mutual goals of protecting public health and safety and of minimizing damage to both public and private properties.
The basic purposes of the Plan are as follows :
- 1) To define potential types of emergencies ;
- 2) To establish an organization for managing an emergency;
- 3) To provide measures for coping with an emergency;
- 4) To provide facilities from which to perform selected measures ;
- 5) To provide for a recovery program following an emergency; and ,
- 6) To provide methods for maintaining the Plan active and current.
Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures (EPIPs) provide instructions for accomplishing the provisions established in the Plan. The procedures guide the classification of the emergency, provide for offsite notifications, and activation of the full response organization. They also provide techniques for estimating the consequences of offsite releases and making recommended Protective Action Recommendations.
NAEP Page 2.3 Revision # TBD The Plan satisfies the emergency plan requirements for the North Anna ISFSI under provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 72, Subpart B, Section 32, Subsection (c).
2.3 NORTH ANNA HYDROELECTRIC UNIT In addition to the North Anna Emergency Plan, an Emergency Action Plan has been prepared for the North Anna Hydroelectric Plant. The North Anna Hydroelectric Plant, a small hydroelectric generating unit of 855KW capacity, is operated by Dominion and located on the North Anna River at the Lake Anna Dam (approximately 5.5 miles Southeast of the North Anna Power Station).
The North Anna Hydroelectric Plant Emergency Action Plan was prepared to conform with the provisions of Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 12, Subpart C, and was developed in consultation and cooperation with Federal , State, and local agencies responsible for public health and safety.
The action Plan includes provisions for notifying State and downstream counties that may be affected by a classified project (dam) emergency. It also sets forth procedures to be followed by station personnel to control the emergency and to notify the appropriate authorities.
In order to meet the requirements of 18 CFR Part 12, Subpart C, provisions for operation of spillway equipment concurrent with an incident at North Anna Power Station is addressed as part of this plan.
Should a (nuclear) station emergency occur, the Auxiliary Operator(s) shall remain at the dam to ensure proper operation of spillway gates, unless contacted by Security or Operations to evacuate because of safety reasons.

NAEP Page 3.2 Revision # TBD 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN Types of emergencies are divided into four classifications which cover a broad spectrum of potential occurrences. The classifications range from a "Notification of Unusual Event", in which offsite officials are notified of an unusual condition, through "General Emergency," in which onsite and offsite evacuation may be required and a major state of emergency exists. This classification scheme is compatible with existing State and local plans.
An emergency response organization is established with specific duties and responsibilities defined, and points of contact between onsite and offsite supporting agencies are designated. Augmentation of the emergency organization will occur at "Alert" and higher levels, and includes activation of beth station and corporate omorgoncy rosponso teams. Provisions for prompt notification of State, Local and Federal agencies are established and include pre-planned information which may be required for offsite agency response.
Methods and procedures provide corrective and protective actions including evaluation of the operability of the unaffected unit. The use of protective equipment, protective action guides and exposure limits are also pre-specified. The facilities available for assessment and management of the emergency consist of onsite and offsite response facilities, communication systems, and portable or fixed equipment and systems for detection and measurement of those parameters causing or resulting from the emergency.
Medical facilities are also available. Provisions are provided for public information activities, including development and issuance of press releases, media briefings, and responding to public inquiries.
A recovery program describes the organization and procedural approach required to re-start the affected unit. The recovery program provides guidance for relaxing protective measures that have been instituted and requires the periodic estimation of total population exposure.
The Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are reviewed annually. The Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC) shall evaluate the review and may provide additional recommendations as necessary. Periodic drills and exercises involving communications, fire-fighting ,
radiological monitoring and Health Physics activities are routinely conducted. A joint exercise involving participation by State and local response agencies will be held on even-numbered years at North Anna (on odd-numbered years, the State participates at Surry) to ensure all major elements of the Plan are tested within an eight year period. Federal response agencies may also participate in these joint exercises.
Critiques of each implementation of the Plan allow for critical reviews of technique, methods, and shortcomings. Improvements will be factored into the Plan and/or Implementing Procedures through revisions.

NAEP Page 4.2 Revision # TBD 4.0 EMERGENCY CONDITIONS The following guidelines describe the criteria used by station personnel in classifying or determining the type of an emergency. The types of potential accidents or emergencies can be numerous and vary in magnitude. Accordingly, the classification system is wide-ranged, although flexible and straight forward.
The four classifications are defined in accordance with Appendix 1 of NU REG 0654, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." The classification system is not intended to include minor deviations during normal operation.
Furthermore, it may be discovered that an event or condition, which met the classification criteria, had existed , but that the basis for the emergency class no longer exists at the time of discovery. For example, the event may have rapidly concluded or been discovered during a post-event review. As discussed in NUREG-1022, "Event Reporting Guidelines: 10 CFR 50 .72 and 50.73" (Revision 1), actual declaration of an emergency class is not necessary in these circumstances, although notification to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is warranted.
4.1 SPECTRUM OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The spectrum of emergencies peculiar to nuclear power stations range from accidents with minor implications on health and safety to the postulation of major occurrences resulting in the release of significant quantities of radioactive material. Examples of minor accidents include unplanned or uncontrolled releases of small amounts of radioactive material in excess of allowable limits as well as equipment malfunctions.
Major occurrences, though not expected to take place, have been postulated for planning and design purposes because their consequences could include the potential for release of significant amounts of radioactive material. The range of conditions in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654 and Section 15 of the North Anna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) have been included in the classification system of this Plan.
Of the Condition IV - Limiting Faults analyzed in the UFSAR, three are considered to have the potential for releasing significant amounts of radioactivity. These are the loss of coolant accident, the steam generator tube rupture accident and the fuel handling accident. The nature of these three accidents is such that a safety analysis can produce results which vary considerably in the radiological consequences. The analysis results depend on assumptions used concerning such items as the status of primary coolant radioactivity content, meteorological conditions, or performance of station safety systems. The UFSAR makes very conservative estimates of the consequences. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are written in anticipation of having to contend with these worst case consequences.
NAEP Page 4.3 Revision # TBD 4.2 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM Emergency conditions which may develop will be categorized as one of the following emergency classifications (defined in Section 1 of this plan) :
- 1. Notification of Unusual Event.
- 2. Alert.
- 3. Site Area Emergency.
- 4. General Emergency.
The Notification of Unusual Event classification requires notification of appropriate offsite support groups and station management personnel that an abnormal condition exists at the station. The purpose of this notification is to increase the awareness of key offsite support organizations and station management of a condition which can currently be managed by the onsite resources , but which could escalate to a more serious condition. The on-shift operations personnel are assigned response tasks in accordance with the pre-augmentation organization responsibilities defined in Section 5 of this plan.
The Alert classification is indicative of a more serious condition which has the potential for radioactive release. As a result, the emergency response organization is notified to augment onsite resources and activate corporato emergency response facilities.
The Site Area Emergency classification reflects conditions where some significant radiation releases are likely or are occurring, but where a core melt situation is not currently indicated. In this situation, there would be full mobilization in the nearsite environs of monitoring teams and associated communications. A Site Area Emergency can be declared for reasons other than radiological releases .
The General Emergency classification is indicative of actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment, or non-radiological events which could endanger public health and/or safety. Within fifteen minutes of declaring a General Emergency, predetermined protective action recommendations will be made to the State based on plant and meteorological conditions.
Tables 4.1 - 4.4 list the initiating conditions for each emergency classification. The Emergency Action Level Matrix groups these conditions by event category for easy reference and identification. For each condition, specific indications available from instruments and unit operating response are defined in the matrix to confirm that the proper thresholds have been met for declaring a given classification. Once indications are available to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded, the event is promptly assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is declared. This declaration occurs as soon as possible and within 15 minutes of when these indications become available.

NAEP Page 4.8 Revision # TBD 4.3 STATE AND LOCAL COUNTY EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM The Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP) emergency classification system defines two levels based on projected radiological doses resulting from the release of radioactive materials from a fixed nuclear facility. The company will provide projected radiological doses based on plant parameters and meteorological conditions. Provisions are in the COVEOP for dose assessments within 50 miles of the station for the ingestion of radioactive material via the food pathway.
Thresholds used for protective action determination are based on projected doses recommended in Table 2.1 of EPA-400-R-92-001 , "Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents", as implemented by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

NAEP Page 5.4 Revision # TBD 5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES An integral part of this Emergency plan is to assure that classifications of Notification of Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency are consistently made in a timely manner. All employees are instructed to contact the Shift Manager to report any emergency. This notification and the information available to the Shift Manager in the Control Room enable a timely classification of the emergency and subsequent actions .
The Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor initially acts in the capacity of the Station Emergency Manager (SEM) and takes actions as outlined in the EPIPs. If required by the emergency classification , or if deemed appropriate by the Station Emergency Manager, emergency response personnel will be notified and instructed to report to their emergency response locations. The Shift Manager is relieved as Station Emergency Manager when the Site Vice President or his designated alternate reports to the station (normally to the Control Room) and is updated as to the status of the unit, the emergency actions taken, and the current status of the emergency. Following this relief, the Station Emergency Manager may relocate to the onsite Technical Support Center (TSC) .

5.1 NORMAL STATION ORGANIZATION The Site Vice President is ultimately responsible for the operation of the Station. The minimum staff required to conduct Station operation is maintained at the station at all times. For purposes of the Emergency Plan, the on-shift manning is assumed to be on back-shift because the normal station complement of personnel is only present during regular duty hours on scheduled work days.
NAEP Page 5.5 Revision # TBD The basic shift (back-shift) complement of personnel is comprised of Operations, Health Physics, Chemistry, and Security personnel with coverage by Maintenance on designated shifts. In addition, technical/engineering support is available on all shifts from the Shift Technical Advisor (STA) . Station administrative procedures provide the details of the normal station organization including reporting relationships .
5.2 ONSITE EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION The first line of control in an emergency at North Anna Power Station lies with the on-shift personnel. The shift complement is staffed with personnel qualified to take the initial actions necessary to respond to an emergency. The organizational relationship of the on-shift emergency organization prior to augmentation is shown in Figure 5.1. Coverage by the Chemistry Team and the Damage Control Team would be provided on an as needed basis. However, augmentation of the onsite emergency organization will specifically provide such coverage . Also, personnel assigned to the Search and Rescue Team , the First Aid Team , and the Fire Brigade may be assigned other functions until their services are required . The capability of the on-shift personnel to effectively manage an emergency is assured by the timely call out of supplementary emergency response personnel. The capabilities of the assigned on-shift personnel are adequate to assess the condition of the affected unit(s) and take initial mitigative actions in accordance with emergency operating procedures including corrective actions necessary to implement procedures consistent with operations personnel training . Additionally, on-shift personnel make notifications to off-site authorities and initiate a call out of supplementary emergency response personnel as required. The EPIPs are used to procedurally control these actions.
A detailed analysis of on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions was performed under provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Part IV.A.9. This analysis determined the staff complement listed in the on-shift column of Table 5.1 can adequately perform required emergency response actions in a timely manner until augmenting ERO staff is required to arrive. This analysis considered a spectrum of events, including UFSAR Condition IV events requiring augmented ERO response , a probable aircraft threat, a design basis threat, a fire requiring Control Room evacuation and remote shutdown , a station black out, etc. This staffing analysis is incorporated by reference as a part of this emergency plan.
Should the Station Emergency Manager deem that additional emergency response personnel are needed or the emergency classification is upgraded to Alert or higher, he shall initiate the augmentation of the on shift Emergency Organization by instructing Station Security to commence callout of supplementary emergency response personnel. Table 5.1 represents the minimum number of personnel that are required to augment emergency operations and the estimated response times of these personnel.
The responsibilities of the emergency response personnel assigned on shift and those who make up the augmentation crews meet the staffing functions identified in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654. The numbers of emergency response personnel designated for both the on-shift and augmentation contingents meet or exceed the guidance. Sufficient training has been provided for the on-shift personnel to ensure that
NAEP Page 5.6 Revision # TBD the response actions needed to bring the affected unit(s) to a stable condition in preparation for the longer term recovery will be taken.
If an emergency occurs on one of the two units, the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor assumes the operational responsibility for the unaffected unit. This allows the other to assume the position of Station Emergency Manager until relieved . Figure 5.2 shows the station emergency organization after full augmentation.
5.2.1 Station Emergency Position and Team Descriptions The Station Emergency Organization , when fully implemented, will consist of at least the positions discussed below. Reporting relationships are as depicted in Figure 5.2.

5.4 COORDINATION WITH PARTICIPATING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES The State organization for response to radiological emergencies is based on normal governmental structures and channels of communication . The Governor, in his role as Director of Emergency Management, directs the emergency response through the State Coordinator of Emergency Management.
The State Coordinator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response , and the Department of Health provides technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment, protective action, radiological control, and radiological monitoring.
Responsibility for radiological emergency response rests primarily with the elected officials of local governments. As time is a major factor in realizing the benefits of protective action in the event of a radiological emergency, certain of these actions are predetermined and agreed upon by the local governing body and are implemented without delay upon notification of a radiological emergency. An lnsta-phone (dedicated county and state ringdown loop), continuously monitored by the Operations Shift, with extensions available in the Control Room , TSC and ~CERC , is used for normal transmission of emergency notifications to these authorities (See Section 7.2.2.5) . Procedures for authentication of an emergency, via the use of restricted , unpublished call-back telephone numbers, are maintained in State and local Radiological Emergency Response Plans. When notification is received , the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP) is implemented and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) initiates action to assess and evaluate the radiological situation in order to provide guidance and assistance to local governments. After the initial immediate actions, subsequent protective actions are made based on the results of the State evaluation of the radiological situation and the company's recommendations. State and Federal agencies provide assistance as required . Response operations at the State level are coordinated by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM).
The State will also provide police support during activation of this plan . In the event of an emergency, the dispatcher at the State Police Headquarters in Richmond, Virginia would normally be called.
The first response would most likely be from police units normally based in the local area. These resources would be supplemented by additional units dispatched from other parts of the state. The State Police would also provide traffic control and additional security.
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is also part of the response to this Plan .
Their role would be to assist in monitoring Lake Anna and provide knowledge of local terrain. The local County Sheriffs of Louisa and Spotsylvania counties also respond to this Plan. They can perform essentially the same functions as the State Police and coordinate their efforts with that organization.
In the event of an emergency, the Station will be in communication with the Louisa, Spotsylvania, Orange, Hanover, and Caroline Directors of Emergency SeNices who have the capability of activating their Emergency Operations Centers. The Station relies upon these counties to provide assistance in the event
NAEP Page 5.18 Revision # TBD an evacuation from the site requires a remote assembly point or for any services the counties are capable of providing to mitigate the results of the emergency.
The Station relies upon Louisa and the Commonwealth of Virginia to coordinate response with other local , state, and federal agencies during a large scale incident, such as a hostile action against the station or a security event. Response agencies will use Incident Command Systems (ICS) guidelines in managing large scale incidents.
The Station will also maintain close contact with the NRG Operations Center and/or the NRG Region II offices in Atlanta , Georgia. This is an important function to ensure that accurate information and assessment of the emergency are available to the Federal Government. As a result of these communications, the NRG can best appraise their response to the emergency. In a like manner, the U.S.
Department of Energy, Oak Ridge Operations, is available to provide radiological assistance to the Station .
The Station has the responsibility to provide to supporting agencies involved in the recovery of the facility or participating in controlling the emergency the necessary information to permit them to use their resources. In the case of the local counties, the Company provides communication and, when needed, training. This training takes the form of participation in drills and exercises by the county and radiological training for members of local volunteer rescue squads and fire departments. The Company and/or Station will arrange drills and exercises on a routine basis to ensure the plan is workable and to gain experience in its implementation.
The total effort of all parties involved shall be directed toward minimizing the results of an emergency and working toward the recovery of the facility with the least impact on the population at large.
CERC personnel coordinate support activities with federal and state agencies responding to the emergency and/or recovery . The Corporate Response Manager may also assemble NRC. state . vendor.
and/or consultant support at the CERC. Assistance may be sought from other nuclear utilities. if needed . If requested by the State EOC. a Company technical representative will be dispatched to provide technical interpretation or clarification of data transmitted to that office. (This individual's responsibilities do not include making statements to the media.)
5.4.1 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM)
The State Coordinator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response operations at the State level and performs specific duties as defined in the COVEOP.
The VEOC is located in Richmond , Virginia. There are local Emergency Operations Centers in Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties. The VDEM will send appropriate liaison personnel to the heeal Emergency Operations FacilityCorporate Emergency Response Center upon activation.
5.4.2 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Health (VDH)
VDH personnel, in coordination with VDEM , provide technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment, protective actions, radiological exposure control , and radiological monitoring.
(Reference COVEOP for more specific information.) Upon either an Alert or higher classification , VDEM will notify VDH 's Office of Radiological Health which will then implement its response procedures. Included in
NAEP Page 5.19 Revision # TBD the planned response is a team sent to the ~CERC, which provides a direct interface between VDH and their Radiological Emergency Response Team (RERT) operating from the VEOC. VDH also provides advice and assistance, as required, to Local Health Districts which provide primary health services to their respective areas.
5.4.3 Additional State Agency Support Additional State organizations having possible responsibilities in a radiological emergency are listed in COVEOP. Requests for support services from these organizations will be coordinated through VDEM by the SEM or the Recovery CERC Resource Manager.
5.4.4 Louisa County The authority and responsibilities of Louisa County are presented in the Louisa County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). The Louisa County Radiological Emergency Response Plan applies to radiological emergencies within the county and :
- a. Assigns responsibilities to county offices and organizations for radiological emergency response and preparedness.
- b. Sets forth procedures for disseminating warning of radiological emergencies to the citizens of the county.
- c. Specifies response actions for specific emergency classifications.
- d. Delineates the policies and concepts under wh ich the county government will operate in radiological emergency response .
Upon notification from the Station Emergency Manager, the Sheriff's Office will notify the County Coordinator of Emergency Services, or his designated representative, who shall :
- a. Check the notification from the Power Station.
- b. Initiate the key county official's alert system .
- c. Initiate public warning procedures, as authorized by the appropriate State authority.
- d. Prepare for evacuation of people for the affected area if authorized by the appropriate State authority.
The County Coordinator of Emergency Services or his representative will activate and ensure that the EOC is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day.
Once initial notifications are complete, the Station Emergency Manager or Recovery Technical Support Manager provides periodic status reports to the County Coordinator of Emergency Services. These reports will include any changes in status or emergency classification . The County Sheriff's Office will serve as the local point for official communications within and out of the county, prior to establishment of the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) . When the EOC is established, this responsibility will transfer to the EOC.
5.4.5 Spotsylvania, Caroline, Hanover, and Orange Counties The authority and responsibilities of the above counties during a radiological emergency are presented in their respective RERP. The RERPs apply to the radiological emergencies within these localities caused by events at the North Anna Power Station. The Spotsylvania, Caroline, Hanover, and
NAEP Page 5.20 Revision # TBD Orange County RERPs are identical to the Louisa RERP, as described in Section 5.4.4 of this Plan, except for information that is specific to the respective counties.
In the event of an emergency of any classification, the SEM will notify all local jurisdictions (Louisa, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Hanover, and Orange and the State) by using the lnsta-phone loop. If the lnsta-phone is out of service, regular commercial telephone will be used to make the notifications and the above localities have a system to call back to the power station and check the message. All local jurisdictions provide 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day coverage.
5.4.6 Counties and Cities Within the Fifty Mile Ingestion Emergency Planning Zone {EPZ)
The counties that are directly involved in the emergency plan are Louisa and Spotsylvania. These counties are the major component of the 10 mile zone. They have emergency response functions as previously stated in this section. The counties and cities within the fifty mile EPZ are listed in Table 5.3.
In the event of an emergency, notification and coordination with these entities is the responsibility of the VEOC.
5.4.7 Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center {FRMAC) Operations Plan The FRMAC Operations Plan provides for the coordinated management of Federal technical response activities related to a radiological emergency. Its primary goals include :
- Assisting the State and Federal Coordinating Agency with personnel, equipment, and technical resources , as needed;
- Collecting offsite environmental radiological data; and,
- Providing the data and related assessments to involved State agencies and to the Federal Coordinating Agency.
The Department of Energy (DOE), because of its history and capabilities in radiological monitoring and assessment, was assigned the responsibility to prepare for, establish , and manage the FRMAC. The FRMAC may be activated when a major radiological emergency exists, and the Federal government will respond when a State, other governmental entity with jurisdiction , or a regulated entity requests federal support.
The SEM, Recovery Manager or Corporate Response Manager may request FRMAC assistance directly or through the NRG (Federal Coordinating Agency). The Company will provide designated facilities (space and communications equipment) for the NRG (Federal Coordinating Agency) in the ~CERC. It is estimated that a FRMAC Advance Party could be expected at the site within 6 to 14 hours1.62037e-4 days <br />0.00389 hours <br />2.314815e-5 weeks <br />5.327e-6 months <br /> following the order to deploy, based on the availability of airports near North Anna. Richmond International Airport (RIC) is a major commercial facility and is within about an 85 minute drive from the station. Smaller airports located within about an hour of the site may also be used.
Further information concerning objectives and organization is provided in the FRMAC Operations Plan (See Appendix 10.10).

NAEP Page 6.2 Revision # TBD 6.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES Emergency measures provide pre-planned actions, methods, and criteria which guide personnel during the course of an emergency. The initial response to any emergency condition will be the activation of the Emergency Plan . After activation, the emergency organization that is formulated by activation of the Emergency Plan performs the necessary assessment activities to classify the type of emergency. If the emergency is radiological in nature, the potential consequences of the emergency will be evaluated for the necessary offsite and onsite protective actions to guard the health and safety of the population. If additional assistance is required , offsite support will be requested as provided for in letters of agreements established with a variety of government agencies and volunteer organizations.
6.1 ACTIVATION OF THE EMERGENCY PLAN Each full time employee of the station is required to be familiar with the provisions of the Emergency Plan . Any employee, upon becoming aware of an emergency condition , shall immediately notify the Shift Manager on duty unless it is apparent notification has already taken place . Upon such notification or other indications, the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor assumes the responsibilities of the Station Emergency Manager. The SEM will classify the emergency, initiate the appropriate notifications and call outs, and coordinate the actions of the emergency response organization.
State and local community officials will be notified within 15 minutes after declaration of an emergency (meaning the emergency classification level has been provided to the Virginia and risk-jurisdiction Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)) . The initial information following declaration of any emergency class includes the class of emergency, whether a release is in progress, and any recommended protective measures. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. Figures 6.1 through 6.4 are samples of message forms used for these notifications. The content of the messages have been established in conjunction with the State and local governments. Notifications will be made to the NRC as soon as possible but within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after declaration of an emergency. Initial information is provided to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 50.72 (Immediate notification requirements for operating nuclear power reactors).
Dedicated communicators will be available to provide regular updates to state and local officials approximately every 60 minutes, when conditions change or as otherwise agreed, and to maintain a continuous channel of communications with the NRC.
6.2 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS EPIP-1.01 , Emergency Manager Controlling Procedure, is the procedure for emergency event categorization and classification, while EPIP-4.01 , Radiological Assessment Director Controlling Procedure, provides guidance for conducting dose assessment, source term determination, atmospheric diffusion factor determination , monitoring team activities, personnel monitoring and decontamination, monitoring of onsite facilities, evacuation, respiratory protection , sampling and sample analysis, and use of the MIDAS computer model.
Once the emergency classification has been determined, the appropriate EPIPs are initiated to direct the activation of the required emergency response facilities and call out of designated emergency response
NAEP Page 6.3 Revision # TBD personnel. The design of the facilities and the data retrieval and monitoring capabilities provide the information needed to make timely assessments and formulate appropriate protective actions.
6.3 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The Recovery Technical Support Manager or the Station Emergency Manager (if the ~CERC is not yet activated) is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the State. The State and local governments are responsible for notification of the public and implementation of the appropriate protective measures.
6.3.1 Offsite Criteria for the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)
Dose contribution from key isotopes such as those listed in Table 6.1 (and analyzed in UFSAR Sections 11 and 15) are used to calculate offsite doses for comparison to protective action recommendation thresholds.
Protective action recommendations are required to be made to the State within 15 minutes of declaring a General Emergency. Specific protective action recommendations tied to plant and meteorological conditions have been designed to facilitate meeting this time requirement. This guidance is based on Supplement 3 (Guidance for Protective Action Strategies) to NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 , "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants."
The initial protective action recommendation for any event classified as a General Emergency will be to evacuate a 2 mile radius and 5 miles in the downwind sectors unless severe accident conditions exist, an evacuation dose threshold is exceeded beyond 2 miles or sheltering -in-place is appropriate. Sheltering-in-place may be appropriate when known conditions make evacuation dangerous, such as a hostile action based event. Follow-up protective action recommendations that the station may make to the state will be based on current meteorological data such as wind direction, wind speed and stability class, and dose projections. Also , consistent with the Commonwealth of Virginia's strategies for supplementing these protective actions with use of potassium iodide (Kl) by the general public as a prophylactic, recommendations will be made for implementing these strategies.
A Site Area Emergency will be declared when offsite doses are projected to exceed 0.1 Rem TEDE or 0.5 Rem Thyroid COE . A General Emergency will be declared when offsite Protective Action Guides (PAGs) of 1.0 Rem TEDE and/or 5.0 Rem Thyroid COE are projected to be exceeded due to a direct radiation or inhalation hazard, or when non-radiological conditions exceed General Emergency EALs.
Warnings to the public within the 10-mile EPZ (Figure 6.5) will be the responsibility of State and local officials who will be assisted by the Virginia Department of State Police upon request. The primary method of warning the public is by the use of the Early Warning System sirens. Route alerting provides backup alert and notification capability (reference 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, paragraph IV.0.4) . Other warning methods may include telephone communications, television and radio Emergency Alert System stations, public address systems, bull horns from patrol cars and personal contact. There are currently no hospitals, prisons, or nursing homes within the 10 mile EPZ.
NAEP Page 6.4 Revision # TBD It is estimated that the primary sector and the two buffer sectors (spanning 67 1/2°) can be alerted of the emergency within 15 minutes using the Early Warning System. If evacuation is recommended, it is estimated that the 67 1/2 ° sector can be evacuated within 2 to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
Evacuation zones, routes, and relocation centers have been established in the event that an evacuation is recommended. This information is published in brochures and distributed by the State.
Population distribution and evacuation time estimates are maintained on file by the Nuclear Emergency Preparedness Department (reference Appendix 10.8) and are summarized in Tables 6.2 and 6.3.
Written pre-planned messages intended for transmittal to the public via radio and television stations will be consistent with the classification scheme. They will be released to the media by the State Coordinator of Emergency Management or Local Coordinator of Emergency Services or his designated representative.
The messages will give instruction with regard to specific actions to be taken by the occupants of the inhabited area. The messages will , as appropriate, give instruction on the aspects of sheltering, thyroid blocking, evacuation, the nature of the emergency, and recommended protective actions. The local governments are charged by the COVEOP with the responsibility to conduct information programs to educate their citizens on:
- 1. Radiological hazards,
- 2. Procedures for notification of a radiological emergency,
- 3. Evacuation routes and assembly points, and
- 4. Other protective measures.
The COVEOP identifies the methods to be utilized in preventing or minimizing direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces. Upon notification of a radiological emergency which may affect livestock, crops , or farmlands , the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will institute a program to assess the impact upon the agriculture community. Members of that department will take samples of milk from dairy cattle in the affected area for analysis and will monitor soil, crops and farm equipment for contamination .
Follow-up action includes the disposition of radiologically contaminated materials. The local county government(s) has the prime responsibility for controlling affected area ingress and egress. Assistance from the State Police shall be supplied as requested by local officials.
NAEP Page 6.5 Revision # TBD 6.3.2 Onsite Criteria for the Exclusion Area The area within 5000 feet of the former North Anna Unit 3 containment is defined as the Exclusion Area for the purposes of this Plan. Company employees, supplemental personnel, occasional visitors at the site, and boaters on the reservoir and cooling lagoons may be inside the Exclusion Area. The area immediately surrounding the units which is enclosed by a security fence is defined as the Protected Area.
The Station Emergency Manager is responsible for making the decision to evacuate the Protected Area, and will take appropriate measures in cooperation with State and local agencies for evacuation of persons in the Exclusion Area and those members of the public who may be passing through the site or within Company property. The company will also commit personnel and appropriate equipment (search lights, power amplified loudspeakers) to assist the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries in clearing the Exclusion Area when required.
Visitors to the Protected Area of the station are under continuous escort by personnel knowledgeable in emergency personnel accountability procedures. Supplemental personnel are also trained in personnel accountability procedures.
Onsite personnel will be immediately notified of an emergency that is initially classified as an Alert or higher event, unless doing so poses a threat to personnel safety. For example, hurricane force winds, a tornado, or a security breach may dictate suspension or deferral of assembly, accountability and/or initiation of facility staffing . However, these activities would be implemented as quickly as achievable given the specific situation. Station procedures provide for a range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action and ensure continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform emergency plan functions .
Tho Central Emergency Operations Facility (CEOF) may be activated in lieu of tho LEOF upon a management dooision to do so or if tho readiness of the LEOF is impaired. Normally, alarms will be sounded and announcements will be made to conduct personnel accountability or, if necessary, a site evacuation of non-essential workers. Those individuals within the Exclusion Area will be alerted by station personnel, Security, and/or personnel from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. In the event of an evacuation, radiation monitoring teams will be dispatched to the appropriate Remote Assembly Area.
Emergency Assembly Areas have been established outside the Protected Area to facilitate the dissemination of information to personnel. The Station has the capability to conduct personnel accountability for individuals inside the Protected Area within approximately 30 minutes. After accountability is completed, an evaluation is made and search teams may be dispatched to locate any individual noted as missing or unaccounted.
If onsite evacuation is to occur, Security collects only the security key cards, not the dosimetry, of all personnel leaving the Protected Area. Continuous accountability of personnel in the Protected Area not evacuating the site shall be maintained throughout the emergency. Evacuees, who may use personal vehicles, proceed to either the primary or secondary remote assembly area (See Figure 6.6) .
NAEP NOTE: Examples of pro tecti ve clothin g to be Page 6.6 updated to reOect curre nt inve ntories. T his change is Revision # TBD beyond the scope of this li cense amendment request.
Station evacuees will be surveyed for contamination following events involving a r diological release, and decontaminated , if necessary, prior to being released from the remote assembly rea. Decontamination agents and supplies are available at the station wh ich can be transported to the re ote assembly areas to provide decontamination capabilities.
6.3.3 Use of Onsite Protective Equipment and Supplies 6.3.3.1 Respiratory Protection The company has a comprehensive respiratory protection program at its uclear stations. VPAP 2101 , "Radiation Protection Plan", establishes the Respiratory Protection Program hich is implemented by HP procedures. Those individuals likely to wear respirators are given a pulmonary amination and training on respiratory protection including a practical examination. A "fit test" is given before an individual is allowed to enter an area requiring respiratory protection.
6.3.3.2 Protective Clothing The station maintains an adequate inventory of protective clothing in the Clean Change Room.
Contaminated clothing is washed at the station and re-issued provided contaminati n is below established radiation criteria. A Radiation Work Permit system is utilized whereby Radiologica Protection establishes personnel protective clothing and equipment criteria. Such clothing may consist of cotton coveralls, hoods, cotton glove inserts, rubber gloves, plastic shoe covers, rubber shoe covers and rubber boots. Station personnel requiring access to a Radiological Control Area are given training on how to don and remove protective clothing so as to minimize personal contamination or introduction of contamination into adjacent areas.
6.3.3.3 Thyroid Blocking Agent The process for administering a thyroid blocking agent in a potential radioiodine inhalation situation was authorized by the company's employee health services staff in consultation with its medical support staff.
6.4 AID TO AFFECTED PERSONNEL The Company has made arrangements with the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center (VCUMC) , to provide medical assistance to personnel injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive material. VCUMC has developed its own plan for responding to the emergency. VCUMC's plan establishes a specialized area of the hospital for treatment with appropriate Health Physics functions , and implements a coded system to alert hospital team members. Radiation monitoring equipment, dosimetry, and protective clothing are available at VCUMC.
The Station will provide and distribute self reading and cumulative type dosimeters to all personnel involved in emergency onsite response regardless of their affiliation. Dose records shall be maintained and checked throughout the emergency.
6.4.1 Emergency Exposure Limits Emergency response personnel may, because of necessity, receive once-in-a-lifetime exposure to contamination and radiation up to the 10CFR20 annual limits, not including accumulated occupational exposure. Approval from the Station Emergency Manager is necessary for planned exposures greater than
NAEP Page 6.7 Revision # TBD the 10CFR20 annual limits. Under limited circumstances, exposure levels greater than 5 times the 10CFR20 annual limits are allowed, but only on a voluntary basis to persons fully aware of the risks involved. Selection criteria for volunteer emergency workers includes consideration of those who are in good physical health, are familiar with the consequences of emergency exposure, and are not a "declared pregnant adult". It is preferable, though not mandatory, that volunteers be older than 45 years of age and not be a female capable of reproduction .
Emergency exposure may be authorized for such needs as removal of injured personnel, undertaking corrective actions, performing assessment actions, providing first aid, performing personnel decontamination, providing ambulance service, providing medical treatment, etc. Guidelines for emergency exposure limits, including life saving actions, are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Life Saving Activity Protective Action Guides.
6.4.2 Decontamination and First Aid There are First Aid stations located throughout the North Anna Power Station that contain the normal complement of first aid supplies and equipment necessary to treat those injuries not involving hospitalization or professional medical services.
At least two First Aid Team members are available at all times to respond to personnel injury. As a minimum, the First Aid Team personnel are Multi-Media first aid trained. In addition, the following Medical facilities and services are available:
- 1. Company nurse available during normal working hours (Mon. - Fri.) .
- 2. Company ambulance.
- 3. Company designated physicians in the area.
- 4. Local Rescue Squads.
- 5. The Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center facilities.
Actions are required to be taken when levels of radioactive contamination for workers , equipment or areas exceed 1,000 dpm / 100 square centimeters of removable contamination. Any detected personnel contamination will initiate appropriate evaluation and decontamination.
The Station controls access for onsite contamination and the return of these areas and their contents to normal use.
No food supplies are grown on the site and the water supplies come from deep wells. Areas designated permissible for employees to eat and drink during the emergency and recovery phases of operations are monitored for contamination.
If onsite personnel are required to relocate or routinely leave the site during an emer!Jency, the Station will provide adequate supplies for personnel decontamination, clothing and means to provide for decontaminating the clothing . If radioiodine contamination of the skin is determined , provisions will be made to provide for decontamination .
NAEP Page 6.8 Revision # TBD Monitoring of vehicles and personnel will be performed at the Remote Assembly Areas (RM) .
Should decontamination of vehicles or personnel be warranted, Health Physics personnel can perform the task at the Station, the RM, or if necessary, at Patrick Henry High School in Hanover County.
6.4.3 Medical Transportation A Station ambulance is available to transport contaminated injured personnel. Contaminated injured personnel will be suitably clothed or prepared to prevent the spread of contamination in the transporting vehicle. Communication can be maintained with VCUMC from the station. The Station can also communicate with the ambulance by use of a UHF radio , and the ambulance can communicate with VCUMC by way of the HEAR system . In addition, arrangements have been made with local volunteer rescue squads to transport injured contaminated personnel to the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center.
Response team members have received training concerning transportation of contaminated injured individuals. A Health Physics technician , with appropriate instrumentation, would normally accompany contaminated injured personnel to VCUMC . The approximate time to transport a patient to VCUMC is 75 minutes. The estimated time for local rescue squads to arrive at the station is 30 minutes.
6.4.4 Medical Treatment The MCVHNCU-Dominion Power Radiation Emergency Plan (Appendix 10.9) provides guidance for the treatment of contaminated injured personnel by qualified individuals. The Radiation Emergency Plan includes provisions to request assistance from other facilities having the capability to receive and treat injured and/or contaminated individuals. In the event the facilities at VCUMC become over extended, VCUMC may coordinate further assistance with these facilities directly or through the Virginia Department of Health.
6.5 OFFSITE SUPPORT In addition to the offsite agencies listed above, local volunteer fire departments have agreed to assist in fighting fires . A list of services and equipment is included in the Agreement Letters referenced in Appendix 10.1.
The response time of these volunteer fire departments varies from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, unless adverse weather conditions prevail.
Police support for an emergency is provided by State and local governments as detailed in their respective Emergency Plans.

7.2.3 Communications System Reliability A failure of one communication system will not affect the operation of other communications systems at the station. The communications systems within the Station have diverse power supplies. The public address system has an emergency backup, and the sound powered phone system does not rely on any station power system . Since the onsite communication systems normally will be in use, or periodically tested, equipment failure will not go unnoticed. The multiplicity of onsite communications networks ensures the availability of adequate communications. Equipment for these systems is located in different areas of the Station thus ensuring that an accident in one area of the Station would not incapacitate all communication systems. Failure of normal power supplies will not deprive the station of offsite communication capability since, in most cases, backup power is provided. Dedicated telephone lines are checked according to specified schedules.
NAEP Page 7.8 Revision # TBD 7.2.4 Emergency Response Facility Communications The communication systems discussed above are used extensively in the Emergency response facilities. A summary of the types of communications is provided in Table 7.1.
7.3 ASSESSMENT FACILITIES AVAILABLE ONSITE A number of instrumentation and monitoring systems are available onsite for emergency assessments. These systems are described below.
7.3.1 Seismic Monitoring The Seismic Monitoring System is designed to detect the occurrence of an earthquake at the North Anna site, to alert the Control Room via panel indications and annunciation, and to provide records of the intensity, duration, and frequency of the earthquake. Detection devices are located in several locations, including the Unit 1 Containment, Auxiliary Building , and a free-field sensor at the meteorological tower.
The system collects information related to the ground motion experienced which is used to promptly determine the response of those structures important to safety to permit comparison of such response with that used as the design basis.
7.3.2 Radiological Monitoring The installed Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) consists of process monitors and area monitors which read out and record in the Control Room. The process system continuously monitors selected lines for radioactive effluents. The system's function is to warn personnel of increasing radiation levels, to give early warning of a system malfunction, and to record and control discharges of radioactive liquids and gases to the environment.
High range process monitors are installed to provide accurate indication of plant releases during and following an accident. The flow paths monitored include the ventilation vents, the process vent (part of the Gaseous Waste System), the main steam lines, and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump exhaust. High range area monitors, located inside the containments, are installed to provide additional information on core integrity during and after a design basis accident.
In addition to the fixed radiation monitoring equipment, portable radiation monitoring equipment would be used to perform dose assessments. The equipment consists of low and high range instruments to measure gamma, alpha, beta, and neutron radiation . This equipment is maintained by the Radiological Protection Department and is used on a routine basis. Portable gamma detection instrument are also dedicated for emergency kit use (See Appendix 10.5). The kits are set aside solely for emergency use and are inventoried and checked for calibration and operability on a quarterly basis.
Portable equipment is also available to take low or high volume air samples. Battery operated air samplers can be used to collect low volume samples either onsite or offsite. Silver Zeolite cartridges would be used for sampling radioiodine with a minimum detectable activity capability of 5X1 o-8 microcuries per cc.
Silver Zeolite has a low retention efficiency for Xenon and therefore, interference should be minimal. Plastic bags and bottles are available to collect water, soil, foodstuffs or other samples.
NAEP Page 7.9 Revision # TBD Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide the methodology for determining the magnitude of a release by three separate and independent methods: (1) using data or samples continuously obtained by the onsite Radiation Monitoring System , (2) using known inventory data for the system(s) affected and (3) obtaining offsite data from air samplers or dosimeters which are continuously in place, or taking radiation surveys and appropriate samples, and using this data to calculate releases .
Equipment designated for use in environmental surveillance such as air samplers and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) is used to obtain offsite data. The radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling devices used by the station meet the minimum requirements of the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position for Environmental Radiological Monitoring Programs.
Two TLDs have been placed in each of the 16 sectors within an approximate 5 mile radius of the station for environmental monitoring . Eight (8) TLDs are located beyond five miles from the station and are used to establish normal background radiation levels. Further details can be found in VPAP-2103N, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (North Anna) . The State also has TLD monitoring points located around the Station used for verification purposes. Dosimetry and air sampler locations within the 10 mile EPZ are shown on Figures 7.1 and 7.2.
North Anna maintains fixed laboratory equipment to support sampling analysis and monitoring. The equipment includes Multichannel Analyzers , proportional counters, a tritium analyzer, and whole body counters ; arrangements are maintained for reading TLDs.
7.3.3 Meteorological Monitoring The station's Meteorological Monitoring System provides the capability for predicting atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion. The system consists of a primary and a backup tower, the locations of which were chosen so as to be representative of regional conditions. Instruments located at these towers provide data to MIDAS via the PCS. The data is also transmitted to the Control Room and to the company's Weather Center. Table 7.2 provides a listing of the parameters measured.
The meteorological equipment was designed to meet the criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.23, "On Site Meteorological Programs", dated February 1972.
7.3.4 Plant Process Parameter Monitoring Installed in the Control Room are the necessary instrumentation readouts to assess station status under all conditions. Information is available from meter displays, chart recorders , annunciators, and the plant process computers to assist the operator in contending with accident conditions.
In order to support the data acquisitions need of the emergency response facilities, the PCS has been installed. The PCS provides plant monitoring, data acquisition , and critical plant data in the form of real-time status displays for the purpose of making a rapid evaluation of the reactor plant's safety status.
The PCS includes the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) , Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGs), process and instrument displays, and pressure-temperature plant displays. Monitor displays are continuously updated by the computer systems as they collect and process parametric data from the various plant sensors. The PCS host computers are housed in the TSC. These units process inputs from
NAEP Page 7.10 Revision # TBD plant sensors and distribute information via the station LAN and corporate Wide Area Network (WAN). The information is available any LAN/WAN -connected PC which has the appropriate software and security level for access, including the Control Room , TSC, -bGF,-and CERC~ .
7.3.5 Fire Detection The Station's Fire Protection System is designed to furnish water and other extinguishing agents with the capability of extinguishing any single or probable combination of simultaneous fires that might occur. Smoke and heat detectors are utilized for fire detection resulting in automatic fire suppression initiation and/or alarming. These systems are designed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association.
7.3.6 Post Accident Sampling A contingency plan , controlled by normal Chemistry procedures, has been developed for obtaining and analyzing highly radioactive samples of reactor coolant, containment sump, and containment atmosphere. (Reference NRC Letter,

NAEP Page 9.2 Revision # TBD 9.0 RECOVERY The recovery process will be managed by a special, designated organization composed of Dominion personnel. The recovery organization is described in tho Corporate Emorgonoy Response P+aRFigure 9.1 . The basic organization may be modified, as required , to address the needs of the given situation. The Rooovory Technical Support Manager assumes control and direction of the recovery operation with the authority and responsibilities for implementating and administering the recovery plan and organizationsot forth in tho Corporate Emorgonoy Response Plan. Responsibilities of the recovery organization include defining recovery objectives, developing a plan to accomplish these objectives, establishing controls and anticipating potential complications. monitoring the recovery effort and adjusting the plan accordingly, and evaluating accomplishments against the designated objectives.
The recovery process is implemented when the Rooovory Corporate Response Manager, Technical Support Manager and the Station Emergency Manager, with concurrence of State and Federal agencies, have determined the station to be in a stable and controlled condition. Upon the determination , the Rooovory Manager shall notify the NRG Operations Center, the Virginia Emergency Operations Center, and the Looal Countylocal Emergency Operations Centers will be notified that the emergency has been terminated and any required recovery has commenced.
9.1 RECOVERY METHODOLOGY The Recovery organization will develop plans and procedures designed to address both immediate and long term actions. The necessity to maintain protective measures implemented during the emergency will be evaluated and, if deemed appropriate, the Recovery organization will recommend relaxation of the protective measures.
The following conditions shall be considered appropriate for the recommendation to relax protection measures.
- a. Station parameters of operation no longer indicate a potential or actual emergency exists.
- b. The release of radioactivity from the Station is controllable, no longer exceeds permissible levels and does not present a credible danger to the public.
- c. The Station is capable of sustaining itself in a long term shutdown condition.
Because it is not possible to foresee all of the consequences of an event, specific recovery procedures may need to be written to address specialized requirements. Normal practices will be followed to the furthest extent possible with regard to maintenance, repair, modification, decontamination, and radiation exposure control activities. Where possible, existing station procedures will be utilized in the areas of operations, maintenance and radiological controls. Any special recovery procedures will require the same review and approval process accorded other station procedures and, as such, will require the approval of the Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC). Recovery plan objectives and associated schedules will be periodically evaluated and modified , if necessary, to accommodate changing circumstances. Provisions to review, prioritize, coordinate and proceduralize recovery activities (e.g ., repair, maintenance, modification, and decontamination) will also be addressed. The recovery organization
NAEP Page 9.3 Revision # TBD addresses planning and coordination of the recovery effort {in cooperation with governmental officials, when required) . Federal and state agencies may augment the recovery organization and participate in establishing recovery objectives.
9.2 POPULATION EXPOSURE Total population doses shall be periodically estimated in the affected sectors and zones utilizing population distribution data from within the emergency planning zones.
Station personnel initially determine Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) due to external exposure from airborne material, external exposure from ground deposition , and internal exposure due to inhalation. Initial calculations are also performed for determination of Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (COE) resulting from inhalation of radioiodines. The methodology used is consistent with that presented in EPA-400-R-92-001 , MANUAL OF PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDES AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR NUCLEAR INCIDENTS.
