Continue assessing radiological situation, updating Emergency Director, TSC staff, and Health Physics staff.

SPECIFIC TASKS:

HOW:

1.

Attend TSC briefing and provide radiological status.

2.

Periodically brief Health Physics staff and receive updates from them.

3.

Perform frequent on-going assessment of radiological situation both offsite and onsite.

4.

Periodically perform general HP operation assessment.

5.

Provide information to Ops Coordinator on rad releases and projected doses to the public for use by Control Room personnel.

1 a.

Give the status of the following items at the briefing:

(1)

Current radiological release status and Dose Projections.

(2)

Current and forecast weather conditions.

(3)

Oscar locations, current radiological information, and Real Time Monitoring System data.

(4)

In-plant radiological conditions.

(5)

Protective action(s) implemented or under consideration.

HELP TSC Rad Staff Responsibilities See TAB 9 4a.

Verify form flows, board is being maintained, contamination controls in place, and that staffing is adequate.

5a.

Notify Operations Coordinator if doses are projected to exceed I rem TEDE or 5 rem Thyroid CDE. Control Room needs radiological data to evaluate entry conditions and action levels for EOP procedures. These procedures require operator actions such as rapid depressurization based on projected doses.

TAB I EP-PS-1 04-1 Revision 7 Page 2 of 2 SPECIFIC TASKS:

HOW:

NOTE:

These procedures also require that projected doses be determined when containment venting is needed.

5b.

Discuss projection time with Ops Coordinator. (This may differ from the default projection time being used in the dose projection model.) Consider the following:

(1)

Prognosis of event.

(2)

Time to cooldown to <200 deg.

(3)

Duration & type of release.

(4)

Weather forecasts.

(5)

Protective measures already implemented.

(6)

Release pathway - possible filtration and/or monitoring.

6.

Continue to evaluate the current PAR and recommend revising the PAR to the Emergency Director based on increasing dose levels.

TAB G EP-PS-104-G Revision 9 Page 1 of 3 MAJOR TASK:

Assess and recommend protective actions to the Emergency Director.

SPECIFIC TASKS:

HOW:

1.

Assess radiological status of plant and releases.

2.

If a liquid release has occurred which exceeds Technical Requirements Manual Limits, notify the Danville Water Authority, Public Information Manager and DEP/BRP.

HELP SSES Contamination Response Plan See TAB 4 HELP Public Protective Action Recommendation Guide See TAB 7 HELP Liquid Discharge Data Sheets See TAB 14 NOTE:

Do not make any protective action recommendations directly to the Danville Water Authority.

3.

If a liquid release has occurred for which the total PAG fraction exceeds 1.0, recommend protective actions for drinking water.

4.

Evaluate protective action alternatives.

4a.

In evaluating protective actions, consider:

(1)

Reducing projected release time based on weather conditions, total inventory, or damage control measures.

(2)

Do not react on one piece of information until it can be verified to be correct.

(3)

Impact of liquid releases on Danville Water Authority.

Consider sending extra staff, (example: Chemistry Tech, Maintenance, Operations or OSCAR), with a bull horn, to notify these facilities of Site Evacuation.

NOTE:

Two bull horns are located in the Security Coordinator's desk. One is located in the OSCAR van.

4c.

Upon call for a site evacuation, discuss notification of personnel inside the Emergency Planning Boundary.

(1)

Dispatch an individual with a bull horn and vehicle to traverse the Emergency Planning Boundary announcing, "Attention all personnel, an evacuation of PPL property has been ordered and you are requested to leave immediately."

NOTE:

Two bull horns are located in the Security Coordinator's desk.

Another is available in the "OSCAR" van.

HOW:

(2)

Consider using 'extra' staff, (Chem. Tech, Maintenance, or Ops personnel, OSCAR, if available), to support this activity.

Copies of maps outlining the Emergency Planning Boundary are available in the Radiation Protection Coordinator's desk.

5.

Recommend changes in protective action.

6.

Assess if a protective action 6a.

appropriate.

6b.

Consult with Operations and Technical Support Coordinator to verify that dose projections are consistent with plant conditions.

6c.

Insure that PAR's have been made for distances up to 10 miles.

6d.

Recommend a PAR rounding up the distance to the nearest 5 mile increment until dose projections are less than 1 REM TEDE or 5 REM TEDE.

TAB C EP-PS-1 04-C Revision 7 Page 1 of 2 MAJOR TASK:

TAB 7 EP-PS-1 04-7 PUBLIC PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION GUIDE "AIRBORNE RELEASES El PA-1 MONITOR CONDITIONS FOR PAR APPLICATION The following conditions should be continuously evaluated to determine if a PAR should be implemented or changed:

"* Plant status and prognosis for changes in conditions

"* Onsite radiological conditions

"* Status of actual or potential radioactive releases

"* Offsite dose projections or actual offsite radiological conditions

"* Escalation in Emergency Classification (i.e., General)

(Go to PA-2)

PA-2 HAS A GENERAL EMERGENCY BEEN DECLARED?

0l YES - If a GENERAL EMERGENCY has been declared, a PAR must be made within 15 minutes of the emergency declaration. The PAR requirement is found in NUREG-0654. (Go to PA-3)

El NO - If-a GENERAL EMERGENCY has not been declared, continue to monitor plant status, parameter trends, and prognosis for termination -or escalation of the event. (Go to PA-1)

PA-3 IS THERE A VALID DOSE PROJECTION INDICATING DOSES OF _> 1 REM TEDE OR>

5 REM CDE CHILD THYROID AT A DISTANCE OF

Indications of potential releases include:

"* an unisolable radwaste tank release.

"* leaks to cooling tower basin

PL-3 IS RELEASE _> TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS "LIMITS (AT THE RELEASE POINT)?

o YES - Releases are at or greater than Technical Requirements limits when Chemistry determines that the limits are exceeded based on methodologies described in the ODCM and applicable Chemistry procedures.

01 NO - If the release is < Technical Requirements limits, then no notifications are required and monitoring should continue.

(Go to PL-4) o PL-4 RAD PERSONNEL NOTIFY DANVILLE AND BRP THAT A RELEASE HAS OCCURRED Depending on which facility is activated, the notification to Danville and BRP will be made by the RPC (TSC) or the Radiological Liaison (EOF).

DO NOT MAKE ANY PROTECTIVE ACTIONS RECOMMENDATIONS AT THIS TIME.

EP-AD-000-126, Revision 9, Page 5 of 6

TAB 7 EP-PS-1 04-7 D PL-5 CHEM/FTD EVALUATES RELEASE VERSUS PAGs The results of the sample analysis are compared to the PAGs for radionuclides in drinking water. The analysis calculates the expected concentration at Danville, taking into account the dilution afforded by the river.

PL-6 DOES RELEASE EXCEED PAGs (AT DANVILLE)?

El YES - If a single isotope exceeds the PAG or the sum of the fractions exceeds 1.0, then a protective action recommendation should be made for Danville to DIVERT its DRINKING WATER supply to a backup supply until the release has passed.

(Go to PL-7) 0 NO - If the PAGs are not exceeded, monitoring should continue and the State should be notified that no PAR for the liquid release is required. (Go to PL-8)

"O PL-7 RAD PERSONNEL NOTIFY DEP/BRP OF PAR Depending on which facility is activated, the PAR notification to DEP/BRP will be made by the RPC (TSC) or the Radiological Liaison (EOF). The PAR FORM shall "be used to document the PAR.

DO NOT COMMUNICATE THE PROTECTIVE ACTION RECOMMENDATION TO DANVILLE. THE DEPIBRP IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COMMUNICATION.

"D PL-8 RAD PERSONNEL NOTIFY DEP/BRP No PAR is required. Depending on which facility is activated, the RPC (TSC) or the Radiological Liaison (EOF) shall notify DEP/BRP that no PAR is required.
