1 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT1.0 DESCRIPTIONPursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Requestof Holder," Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests Nuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC) Staff review and approval of a revision to the Pilgrim Nuclear PowerPlant (PNPS) Site Emergency Plan (SEP) to decrease the Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) staff training provided for the "on-site" Chemistry Technician.Entergy has reviewed the proposed changes against the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)and requirements in 10 CER 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparednessfor Production and Utilization Facilities."2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEEntergy is proposing to revise the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) stafftraining requirements identified for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician. Attachment 3identifies the proposed staff training requirements and provides a comparison to thetraining requirements previously identified in our 2006 submittal to the NRC Staff, datedJuly 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1).Subsequent review of the Pilgrim On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) dated December2012 (Reference 6.3) and the job performance requirements for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnician indicate that previously identified training tasks and task qualificationfunctions listed in the 2006 ERO submittal are not necessary for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnician to support the "on-shift" RP Technician function/position at the onset of anERO event._Proposed Trainingc ChancieWe are proposing that the scope of the Chemistry Technician job training that isneeded to support initial "on-shift" RP Technician functions be limited to thefollowing general RP support tasks:o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetryA list of plant specific training to support these functions is provided in Attachment3.3.0 BACKGROUNDThe specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond toemergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility2 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequatestaffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintainedat all times..."10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires licensee emergency plans to contain,in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation ofthe emergency organization.NUREG-0654 (Reference 6.2), Section II.B, "Onsite Emergency Organization," presentsguidance for meeting these requirements. The guidance describes the onsiteemergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table B-I,"Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power PlantEmergencies." This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four MajorFunctional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response tasks where the duties maybe performed by shift personnel who are assigned other tasks (i.e., there are nodedicated responders to perform these tasks). -The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting EROpersonnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments. Theaugmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, andadministrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focusmore fully on plant operations. NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, inaddition to on-shift personnel, 30 and 60-minute responders.On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Registeramending certain' emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations thatgovern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 6.5). Thisfinal rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization," toaddress the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that couldpotentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergencyplan functions. Specifically, Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform "... adetailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."Coincident with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRCissued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance -Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants" (Reference 6.6). This Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides informationrelevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis. The ISG states that the NuclearEnergy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-ShiftEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," to establish a standardmethodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing analysis, and that the NRCreviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose.The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part ofthe emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).3 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0014.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS4.1 Pilgrim-Specific Background InformationThe Pilgrim SEP (Rev 0) was originally issued in 1983. The SEP Table B-I plantstaffing figure, indicated that one (1) "on-shift" RP Technician and one (1) "on-shift"1Chemistry Technician would be available for ERO response to support in-plant surveysand radio chemistry tasks under the Radiological Accident Assessment functional area.The SEP Table B-I was updated in 1990 (rev 10) and indicated a staff change from one(1) to two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians in the Accident Assessment Support functionalarea. The purpose of the revision was identified as an editorial table change to creditthe additional RP Technician that was listed in the Protective Action(s) (in Plant)functional area of the table and "to better reflect the format" of NUREG 0654. This SEPrevision was submitted to the NRC (Reference 6.7).In a letter dated July 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1), Entergy proposed to the NRC Staff tosubstitute the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician for the second "on-shift" RP Technician tohandleERO responsibilities during the first thirty (30) minutes of an event. As part ofthat proposal, Entergy stated that PNPS would (1) provide additional training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician(s); and (2) remove the second "on-shift" RP Technicianfrom the shift when appropriate training was provided for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnicians. This prior SEP submittal supported the removal of one (1) of two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians listed in SEP, Table B-I, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for theEmergency Response Organization." This Table B-i change was consistent with ouroriginal 1983 SEP and the guidance contained in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-I., Rev. 1,dated November 1980 (Reference 6.2).In a letter dated February 5, 2007 (Reference 6.4), the NRC Staff responded to our July14, 2006 request. The letter stated "The NRC staff has concluded that incorporation ofthe proposed changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Planand the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of Section 50.47(b) and therequirements of Appendix E to Title 10 Part 50 of the Code of federal Regulations. Thebasis for our conclusion is contained in the enclosed safety evaluation. In light of theabove, no NRC approval is necessary." On the top of Page 3, the NRC Staff's SErestates the conclusion that the incorporation of the proposed changes do not decreasethe effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan and the plan, as changed, continues tomeet standards of Section 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.At Pilgrim Station since 2007, an on-shift Chemistry Technician supplements the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician in fulfilling the RP duties of the ERO duringthe early phase of ERO activation. Four (4) additional RP Technicians are currentlyrequired to report to the site within 30 minutes, with the addition of four (4) more RPTechnicians reporting to the site in 60 minutes. These additional RP Techniciansprovide support roles in the ERO Accident Assessment functional area after the first 304 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001minutes. In Reference 6.1, Entergy outlined to the NRC Staff the specific training to beprovided to the Chemistry Technicians to support their fulfillment of the RP role for theearly phase of ERG activation.Recently, Entergy discovered we were not providing the in-depth training for the on-shiftChemistry Technicians as documented in our letter dated July 14, 2006. A conditionreport was written and immediate actions were taken to address the issue. Specifically,a second RP Technician was added to each shift to restore the staffing levels that weredefined prior to F'ebruary 5, 2007 Table B-I revision.Subsequently, Entergy has determined we could provide a reduced scope of RPtraining for the on-shift Chemistry Technicians from that previously proposed in our2006 ERG submittal. The reduction in training is supported by the 2012 SEP On-shiftStaffing An alysis (GSA) which is provided in Attachment 4 (Reference 6.3). The OSAevaluated the on-shift ERG staff positions and verified that assigned personnel cancomplete required ERG functions/tasks in a timely manner; The GSA does not rely onthe on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the required ERG functions/tasksspecifically assigned to the on-shift RP Technician.Entergy is proposing to reduce the level of training provided to the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnicians who may be relied on to perform an initial ERG RP Technician supportrole.*The scope of training proposed in 2006 is documented in Reference 6.1 andsummarized in Attachment 3.*The scope of training proposed in 2016 is identified in Attachment 3 and involvestraining in the following specific task areas.o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetryThis revised training scope is consistent with the responsibilities and actions that wouldbe required of the on-shift Chemistry Technician during the first 30 minutes of an ERGevent consistent with the Gn-shift Staffing Analysis.4.2 Analysis of Reduced ERG Training Requirements for the "On-shift" ChemistryTechnicianThe GSA provides the basis for a proposed reduction in on-site Chemistry TechnicianTraining. Section 2.14 of NEI 10-05 states "Although developed to meet therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the staffing assessmentmethodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels oraugmented ERG response times. For example, an analysis could be performed with adesired response time for the augmenting ERG (e.g., 90 minutes), and the results thenused to support the basis for changing a staffing or augmentation time commitment."5 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry sampling tasks were notedas being time critical in the first 90 minutes of~any of the analyzed events. As such, theChemistry Technician is available to assist the RP Technician in performance ofdirected RP task work in the Operations Accident Assessment or Protective Actionfunctional areas as determined appropriate by the Shift Manager.The OSA has ensured that the PNPS ERO team members can accomplish the requiredmission in the first 90 minutes of ERO activation with the staffing and training of on-shiftstaff members proposed herein. The OSA assumed that the RP and ChemistryTechnicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position. TheOSA does not credit additional RP training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician inorder to ensure that the "on-shift" RP Technician can complete assigned emergencyplan functions in a timely manner. As such, assignment of any additional RP training tothe "on-shift" Chemistry Technician is not necessary and is considered to be anenhancement to the overall ERO organization.The OSA is included in this submittal as Attachment 4. Based on the OSA, theproposed reduction in "on-shift Chemistry Technician training is acceptable and doesnot adversely affect the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan or the ability ofassigned on-shift personnel to perform their assigned functions.5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/CriteriaThe regulatory standards, requirements and guidance involving ERO staffing andaugmentation are as follows:,*10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) -On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergencyresponse are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facilityaccident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timelyaugmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces amongvarious onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities arespecified.*10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A (in part) -The organization for coping withradiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities,responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergencyorganization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of anemergency.*NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Response Planning andPreparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 5, Section C, stated in part"The criteria and recommendations in this regulatory guide are methods that the6 Ito PNPS Letter 2.16.001NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the requirements in AppendixE to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be*met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide abasis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptableradiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness."In NUREG-0654, Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria," EvaluationCriteria ll.B.1 and ll.B.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard. EvaluationCriteria ll.B. 1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel forall shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shiftcomplement. Evaluation Criteria l1.B.5 states, in part, that:Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performedby the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity. Foremergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and forplant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignmentsshall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum StaffingRequirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies."Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans forNuclear Power Reactors," November 2011, describes a method that the NRC considersto be acceptable to implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q). In SectionC.2.a.(2), the NRC encourages licensees to arrange a conference call with the NRCstaff to clarify 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements and guidance within this regulatory guidefor EP changes to ERO staffing that reduce the licensee's capability to staff positions.Entergy completed and issued an OSA to satisfy the requirements in 10 CFR 50,Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 and standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2). The OSA wasperformed using the guidance in NEI 10-05, which has been reviewed by the NRC andfound to be an acceptable methodology to satisfy the regulatory requirement. As aresult of the OSA, Revision 44 of the SEP increased the minimum on-shift staffing levelto fourteen (14). There were no changes implemented to revise the current on-shift RPand Chemistry Technician staffing listed in Table B-I. The OSA was conductedassuming a response time of 90 minutes for the augmented ERO to allow the use of thisanalysis for a possible future extension in ERO augmentation times as addressed inSection 2.14 of NEI 10-05. No specific emergency response tasks requiring theaugmented ERO were identified in the OSA prior to the 90-minute period following theemergency declaration.Based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the healthand safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner,(2) such activities will continue to be conducted in accordance with the site licensingbasis, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the health andsafety of the public.7 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001In conclusion, Entergy has determined that the proposed training requirement changedoes not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements, and does notaffect conformance with any regulatory requirements or criteria.5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration DeterminationEntergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involvedwith the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?Response: No.The proposed training requirements change has no effect on normal plant operationor on any accident initiator. The change affects the response to radiologicalemergencies addressed in the SEP. The ability of the emergency responseorganization to respond adequately to radiological emergencies has been evaluated.Changes in the training provided to the on-shift organization, such as thereassignment of key on-shift emergency personnel to perform related RP functions,provide assurance of an effective emergency response without competing orconflicting duties. An analysis was also performed on the effect of the proposedchange on the timeliness of performing major tasks for the major functional areas ofthe SEP. The analysis concluded that the reduction in training requirements for the"on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the initial RP support tasks does not affectthe ability to perform the required RP Technician or Chemistry Technician tasks.Therefore, the change in ERG staff training does not increase the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated.2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?Response: No.The proposed change affects the training requirements for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnician and for supplementing onsite personnel in response to a radiologicalemergency. It has been evaluated and determined not to significantly affect the abilityto perform required or related functions. It has no effect on the plant design or on thenormal operation of the plant and does not affect how the plant is physically operatedunder emergency conditions. The reduction in ERG training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician in the SEP does not affect the plant operating procedureswhich are performed by plant staff during all plant conditions.8 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001No new or different accidents are postulated to occur and there are no changes inany of the accidents previously evaluated.3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response: No.The proposed change does not affect plant design or method of operation.10 CFR 50.47 (b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E establish emergency planningstandards and requirements that require adequate staffing, satisfactory performanceof key functional areas and critical tasks, and timely augmentation of the responsecapability. Since the SEP was originally developed, there have been improvements inthe technology used to support the SEP functions and in the capabilities of onsitepersonnel. A functional analysis was performed on the effect of the proposed changeon the timeliness of performing major tasks for the functional areas of the SEP. Theanalysis concluded that a reduction in training requirements for the "on-shift"Chemistry Technician would not significantly affect the ability to perform the requiredSEP tasks. Thus, the proposed change has been determined not to adversely affectthe ability to meet the emergency planning standards as described in 10 CER 50.47(b) and requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.The proposed ERO staff training change does not involve a reduction in any marginof safety. The proposed change is consistent with the original and current EROstaffing levels implemented at PNPS.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents nosignificant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and,accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.Environmental ConsiderationThe proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) anychanges in the types or any increase in the amounts of any effluent that may bereleased offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupationalradiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterionfor categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needsto be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.9 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0016.

1 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT
 
==1.0 DESCRIPTION==
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Requestof Holder,"
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff review and approval of a revision to the Pilgrim Nuclear PowerPlant (PNPS) Site Emergency Plan (SEP) to decrease the Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) staff training provided for the "on-site" Chemistry Technician.
Entergy has reviewed the proposed changes against the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)and requirements in 10 CER 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."
2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEEntergy is proposing to revise the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) stafftraining requirements identified for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician.
Attachment 3identifies the proposed staff training requirements and provides a comparison to thetraining requirements previously identified in our 2006 submittal to the NRC Staff, datedJuly 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1).Subsequent review of the Pilgrim On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) dated December2012 (Reference 6.3) and the job performance requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician indicate that previously identified training tasks and task qualification functions listed in the 2006 ERO submittal are not necessary for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the "on-shift" RP Technician function/position at the onset of anERO event._Proposed Trainingc ChancieWe are proposing that the scope of the Chemistry Technician job training that isneeded to support initial "on-shift" RP Technician functions be limited to thefollowing general RP support tasks:o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry A list of plant specific training to support these functions is provided in Attachment
 
====3.3.0 BACKGROUND====
The specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond toemergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility2 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously  
: defined, adequatestaffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times..."
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires licensee emergency plans to contain,in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation ofthe emergency organization.
NUREG-0654 (Reference 6.2), Section II.B, "Onsite Emergency Organization,"
presentsguidance for meeting these requirements.
The guidance describes the onsiteemergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table B-I,"Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power PlantEmergencies."
This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four MajorFunctional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response tasks where the duties maybe performed by shift personnel who are assigned other tasks (i.e., there are nodedicated responders to perform these tasks). -The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting EROpersonnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments.
Theaugmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, andadministrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focusmore fully on plant operations.
NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, inaddition to on-shift personnel, 30 and 60-minute responders.
On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Registeramending certain' emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations thatgovern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 6.5). Thisfinal rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization,"
toaddress the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that couldpotentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergency plan functions.
Specifically, Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform "... adetailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."Coincident with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRCissued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance  
-Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants" (Reference 6.6). This Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides information relevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis.
The ISG states that the NuclearEnergy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-ShiftEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities,"
to establish a standardmethodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing  
: analysis, and that the NRCreviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose.The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part ofthe emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).
3 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0014.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS4.1 Pilgrim-Specific Background Information The Pilgrim SEP (Rev 0) was originally issued in 1983. The SEP Table B-I plantstaffing figure, indicated that one (1) "on-shift" RP Technician and one (1) "on-shift" 1Chemistry Technician would be available for ERO response to support in-plant surveysand radio chemistry tasks under the Radiological Accident Assessment functional area.The SEP Table B-I was updated in 1990 (rev 10) and indicated a staff change from one(1) to two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians in the Accident Assessment Support functional area. The purpose of the revision was identified as an editorial table change to creditthe additional RP Technician that was listed in the Protective Action(s)  
(in Plant)functional area of the table and "to better reflect the format" of NUREG 0654. This SEPrevision was submitted to the NRC (Reference 6.7).In a letter dated July 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1), Entergy proposed to the NRC Staff tosubstitute the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician for the second "on-shift" RP Technician tohandleERO responsibilities during the first thirty (30) minutes of an event. As part ofthat proposal, Entergy stated that PNPS would (1) provide additional training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician(s);
and (2) remove the second "on-shift" RP Technician from the shift when appropriate training was provided for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians.
This prior SEP submittal supported the removal of one (1) of two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians listed in SEP, Table B-I, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for theEmergency Response Organization."
This Table B-i change was consistent with ouroriginal 1983 SEP and the guidance contained in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-I.,
Rev. 1,dated November 1980 (Reference 6.2).In a letter dated February 5, 2007 (Reference 6.4), the NRC Staff responded to our July14, 2006 request.
The letter stated "The NRC staff has concluded that incorporation ofthe proposed changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Planand the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of Section 50.47(b) and therequirements of Appendix E to Title 10 Part 50 of the Code of federal Regulations.
Thebasis for our conclusion is contained in the enclosed safety evaluation.
In light of theabove, no NRC approval is necessary."
On the top of Page 3, the NRC Staff's SErestates the conclusion that the incorporation of the proposed changes do not decreasethe effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan and the plan, as changed, continues tomeet standards of Section 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.At Pilgrim Station since 2007, an on-shift Chemistry Technician supplements the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician in fulfilling the RP duties of the ERO duringthe early phase of ERO activation.
Four (4) additional RP Technicians are currently required to report to the site within 30 minutes, with the addition of four (4) more RPTechnicians reporting to the site in 60 minutes.
These additional RP Technicians provide support roles in the ERO Accident Assessment functional area after the first 304 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001minutes.
In Reference 6.1, Entergy outlined to the NRC Staff the specific training to beprovided to the Chemistry Technicians to support their fulfillment of the RP role for theearly phase of ERG activation.
: Recently, Entergy discovered we were not providing the in-depth training for the on-shiftChemistry Technicians as documented in our letter dated July 14, 2006. A condition report was written and immediate actions were taken to address the issue. Specifically, a second RP Technician was added to each shift to restore the staffing levels that weredefined prior to F'ebruary 5, 2007 Table B-I revision.
Subsequently, Entergy has determined we could provide a reduced scope of RPtraining for the on-shift Chemistry Technicians from that previously proposed in our2006 ERG submittal.
The reduction in training is supported by the 2012 SEP On-shiftStaffing An alysis (GSA) which is provided in Attachment 4 (Reference 6.3). The OSAevaluated the on-shift ERG staff positions and verified that assigned personnel cancomplete required ERG functions/tasks in a timely manner; The GSA does not rely onthe on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the required ERG functions/tasks specifically assigned to the on-shift RP Technician.
Entergy is proposing to reduce the level of training provided to the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians who may be relied on to perform an initial ERG RP Technician supportrole.*The scope of training proposed in 2006 is documented in Reference 6.1 andsummarized in Attachment 3.*The scope of training proposed in 2016 is identified in Attachment 3 and involvestraining in the following specific task areas.o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry This revised training scope is consistent with the responsibilities and actions that wouldbe required of the on-shift Chemistry Technician during the first 30 minutes of an ERGevent consistent with the Gn-shift Staffing Analysis.
4.2 Analysis of Reduced ERG Training Requirements for the "On-shift" Chemistry Technician The GSA provides the basis for a proposed reduction in on-site Chemistry Technician Training.
Section 2.14 of NEI 10-05 states "Although developed to meet therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the staffing assessment methodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels oraugmented ERG response times. For example, an analysis could be performed with adesired response time for the augmenting ERG (e.g., 90 minutes),
and the results thenused to support the basis for changing a staffing or augmentation time commitment."
5 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry sampling tasks were notedas being time critical in the first 90 minutes of~any of the analyzed events. As such, theChemistry Technician is available to assist the RP Technician in performance ofdirected RP task work in the Operations Accident Assessment or Protective Actionfunctional areas as determined appropriate by the Shift Manager.The OSA has ensured that the PNPS ERO team members can accomplish the requiredmission in the first 90 minutes of ERO activation with the staffing and training of on-shiftstaff members proposed herein. The OSA assumed that the RP and Chemistry Technicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
TheOSA does not credit additional RP training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician inorder to ensure that the "on-shift" RP Technician can complete assigned emergency plan functions in a timely manner. As such, assignment of any additional RP training tothe "on-shift" Chemistry Technician is not necessary and is considered to be anenhancement to the overall ERO organization.
The OSA is included in this submittal as Attachment  
: 4. Based on the OSA, theproposed reduction in "on-shift Chemistry Technician training is acceptable and doesnot adversely affect the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan or the ability ofassigned on-shift personnel to perform their assigned functions.
5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulatory standards, requirements and guidance involving ERO staffing andaugmentation are as follows:,
*10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)  
-On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously  
: defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facilityaccident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timelyaugmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces amongvarious onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities arespecified.
*10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A (in part) -The organization for coping withradiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergency organization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of anemergency.
*NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Response Planning andPreparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors,"
Revision 5, Section C, stated in part"The criteria and recommendations in this regulatory guide are methods that the6 Attachment 1Ito PNPS Letter 2.16.001NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the requirements in AppendixE to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be*met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide abasis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptable radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness."
In NUREG-0654, Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria,"
Evaluation Criteria ll.B.1 and ll.B.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard.
Evaluation Criteria ll.B. 1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel forall shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shiftcomplement.
Evaluation Criteria l1.B.5 states, in part, that:Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity.
Foremergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and forplant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum StaffingRequirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies."
Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans forNuclear Power Reactors,"
November 2011, describes a method that the NRC considers to be acceptable to implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q).
In SectionC.2.a.(2),
the NRC encourages licensees to arrange a conference call with the NRCstaff to clarify 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements and guidance within this regulatory guidefor EP changes to ERO staffing that reduce the licensee's capability to staff positions.
Entergy completed and issued an OSA to satisfy the requirements in 10 CFR 50,Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 and standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2).
The OSA wasperformed using the guidance in NEI 10-05, which has been reviewed by the NRC andfound to be an acceptable methodology to satisfy the regulatory requirement.
As aresult of the OSA, Revision 44 of the SEP increased the minimum on-shift staffing levelto fourteen (14). There were no changes implemented to revise the current on-shift RPand Chemistry Technician staffing listed in Table B-I. The OSA was conducted assuming a response time of 90 minutes for the augmented ERO to allow the use of thisanalysis for a possible future extension in ERO augmentation times as addressed inSection 2.14 of NEI 10-05. No specific emergency response tasks requiring theaugmented ERO were identified in the OSA prior to the 90-minute period following theemergency declaration.
Based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the healthand safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner,(2) such activities will continue to be conducted in accordance with the site licensing basis, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the health andsafety of the public.7 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001In conclusion, Entergy has determined that the proposed training requirement changedoes not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements, and does notaffect conformance with any regulatory requirements or criteria.
5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Entergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involvedwith the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment,"
as discussed below:1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed training requirements change has no effect on normal plant operation or on any accident initiator.
The change affects the response to radiological emergencies addressed in the SEP. The ability of the emergency responseorganization to respond adequately to radiological emergencies has been evaluated.
Changes in the training provided to the on-shift organization, such as thereassignment of key on-shift emergency personnel to perform related RP functions, provide assurance of an effective emergency response without competing orconflicting duties. An analysis was also performed on the effect of the proposedchange on the timeliness of performing major tasks for the major functional areas ofthe SEP. The analysis concluded that the reduction in training requirements for the"on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the initial RP support tasks does not affectthe ability to perform the required RP Technician or Chemistry Technician tasks.Therefore, the change in ERG staff training does not increase the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated.
: 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed change affects the training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician and for supplementing onsite personnel in response to a radiological emergency.
It has been evaluated and determined not to significantly affect the abilityto perform required or related functions.
It has no effect on the plant design or on thenormal operation of the plant and does not affect how the plant is physically operatedunder emergency conditions.
The reduction in ERG training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician in the SEP does not affect the plant operating procedures which are performed by plant staff during all plant conditions.
8 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001No new or different accidents are postulated to occur and there are no changes inany of the accidents previously evaluated.
: 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.The proposed change does not affect plant design or method of operation.
10 CFR 50.47 (b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E establish emergency planningstandards and requirements that require adequate  
: staffing, satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks, and timely augmentation of the responsecapability.
Since the SEP was originally developed, there have been improvements inthe technology used to support the SEP functions and in the capabilities of onsitepersonnel.
A functional analysis was performed on the effect of the proposed changeon the timeliness of performing major tasks for the functional areas of the SEP. Theanalysis concluded that a reduction in training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician would not significantly affect the ability to perform the requiredSEP tasks. Thus, the proposed change has been determined not to adversely affectthe ability to meet the emergency planning standards as described in 10 CER 50.47(b) and requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.The proposed ERO staff training change does not involve a reduction in any marginof safety. The proposed change is consistent with the original and current EROstaffing levels implemented at PNPS.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents nosignificant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),
and,accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.Environmental Consideration The proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) anychanges in the types or any increase in the amounts of any effluent that may bereleased  
: offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needsto be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

This analysis examined the capability of the minimum staff listed in TableB-i of the PNPS Emergency Plan (E-Plan) to perform the actions for the key functional areas of events described in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance
-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, until augmenting Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staff arrives in accordance with the E-plan.2. The OSA review team determined that an on-shift staff of fourteen (14) is required to respond to the most limiting accident scenario
: reviewed, main control room fire andshutdown at the remote shutdown panel.3. NEI 10-05 staffing analysis of on-shift personnel to perform the required emergency planning functions and the licensing basis requirement for each on-shift position.
NEI 10-05recommends one (1) on-shift RP Technician and one (1) on-shift Chemistry Technician.
The PNPS SEP is consistent with the NEI guidance.
: 4. The primary responsibility for the Chemistry Technician is chemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry job tasks were noted as being time critical or requiredduring the first 90 minutes of any of the analyzed events.5. The 2012 OSA analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement to maintain continuous communications with the notification source during an aircraft threatin accordance with 10CFR50.54(hh) and Reg. Guide 1.214. There are no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function is not required to be assigned inadvance.
The review of the Aircraft Threat Accident identified that there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action during the event, Specifically, a licensed or non-licensed nuclear plant operator, the rad protection technician, and chemistry technician were all available to fill this function.
: 6. Augmentation time for some ERO positions is 30 minutes.
The OSA analysis was completed for the 90 minute period since the emergency response facilities are required to beoperational in 60 minutes.
No credit was taken for current 30 minute responders.
Tasks for event response were reviewed for 90 minutes following the declaration.
No specificemergency response tasks requiring the augmented ERO were identified during the 90 minutes following the emergency declaration.
: 7. The 2012 OSA assumed individuals holding the position of RP technician or Chemistry technician are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.

1 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT1.0 DESCRIPTIONPursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Requestof Holder," Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests Nuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC) Staff review and approval of a revision to the Pilgrim Nuclear PowerPlant (PNPS) Site Emergency Plan (SEP) to decrease the Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) staff training provided for the "on-site" Chemistry Technician.Entergy has reviewed the proposed changes against the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)and requirements in 10 CER 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparednessfor Production and Utilization Facilities."2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEEntergy is proposing to revise the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) stafftraining requirements identified for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician. Attachment 3identifies the proposed staff training requirements and provides a comparison to thetraining requirements previously identified in our 2006 submittal to the NRC Staff, datedJuly 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1).Subsequent review of the Pilgrim On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) dated December2012 (Reference 6.3) and the job performance requirements for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnician indicate that previously identified training tasks and task qualificationfunctions listed in the 2006 ERO submittal are not necessary for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnician to support the "on-shift" RP Technician function/position at the onset of anERO event._Proposed Trainingc ChancieWe are proposing that the scope of the Chemistry Technician job training that isneeded to support initial "on-shift" RP Technician functions be limited to thefollowing general RP support tasks:o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetryA list of plant specific training to support these functions is provided in Attachment3.3.0 BACKGROUNDThe specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond toemergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility2 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequatestaffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintainedat all times..."10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires licensee emergency plans to contain,in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation ofthe emergency organization.NUREG-0654 (Reference 6.2), Section II.B, "Onsite Emergency Organization," presentsguidance for meeting these requirements. The guidance describes the onsiteemergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table B-I,"Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power PlantEmergencies." This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four MajorFunctional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response tasks where the duties maybe performed by shift personnel who are assigned other tasks (i.e., there are nodedicated responders to perform these tasks). -The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting EROpersonnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments. Theaugmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, andadministrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focusmore fully on plant operations. NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, inaddition to on-shift personnel, 30 and 60-minute responders.On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Registeramending certain' emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations thatgovern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 6.5). Thisfinal rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization," toaddress the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that couldpotentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergencyplan functions. Specifically, Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform "... adetailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."Coincident with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRCissued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance -Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants" (Reference 6.6). This Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides informationrelevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis. The ISG states that the NuclearEnergy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-ShiftEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities," to establish a standardmethodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing analysis, and that the NRCreviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose.The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part ofthe emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).3 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0014.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS4.1 Pilgrim-Specific Background InformationThe Pilgrim SEP (Rev 0) was originally issued in 1983. The SEP Table B-I plantstaffing figure, indicated that one (1) "on-shift" RP Technician and one (1) "on-shift"1Chemistry Technician would be available for ERO response to support in-plant surveysand radio chemistry tasks under the Radiological Accident Assessment functional area.The SEP Table B-I was updated in 1990 (rev 10) and indicated a staff change from one(1) to two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians in the Accident Assessment Support functionalarea. The purpose of the revision was identified as an editorial table change to creditthe additional RP Technician that was listed in the Protective Action(s) (in Plant)functional area of the table and "to better reflect the format" of NUREG 0654. This SEPrevision was submitted to the NRC (Reference 6.7).In a letter dated July 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1), Entergy proposed to the NRC Staff tosubstitute the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician for the second "on-shift" RP Technician tohandleERO responsibilities during the first thirty (30) minutes of an event. As part ofthat proposal, Entergy stated that PNPS would (1) provide additional training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician(s); and (2) remove the second "on-shift" RP Technicianfrom the shift when appropriate training was provided for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnicians. This prior SEP submittal supported the removal of one (1) of two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians listed in SEP, Table B-I, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for theEmergency Response Organization." This Table B-i change was consistent with ouroriginal 1983 SEP and the guidance contained in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-I., Rev. 1,dated November 1980 (Reference 6.2).In a letter dated February 5, 2007 (Reference 6.4), the NRC Staff responded to our July14, 2006 request. The letter stated "The NRC staff has concluded that incorporation ofthe proposed changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Planand the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of Section 50.47(b) and therequirements of Appendix E to Title 10 Part 50 of the Code of federal Regulations. Thebasis for our conclusion is contained in the enclosed safety evaluation. In light of theabove, no NRC approval is necessary." On the top of Page 3, the NRC Staff's SErestates the conclusion that the incorporation of the proposed changes do not decreasethe effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan and the plan, as changed, continues tomeet standards of Section 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.At Pilgrim Station since 2007, an on-shift Chemistry Technician supplements the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician in fulfilling the RP duties of the ERO duringthe early phase of ERO activation. Four (4) additional RP Technicians are currentlyrequired to report to the site within 30 minutes, with the addition of four (4) more RPTechnicians reporting to the site in 60 minutes. These additional RP Techniciansprovide support roles in the ERO Accident Assessment functional area after the first 304 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001minutes. In Reference 6.1, Entergy outlined to the NRC Staff the specific training to beprovided to the Chemistry Technicians to support their fulfillment of the RP role for theearly phase of ERG activation.Recently, Entergy discovered we were not providing the in-depth training for the on-shiftChemistry Technicians as documented in our letter dated July 14, 2006. A conditionreport was written and immediate actions were taken to address the issue. Specifically,a second RP Technician was added to each shift to restore the staffing levels that weredefined prior to F'ebruary 5, 2007 Table B-I revision.Subsequently, Entergy has determined we could provide a reduced scope of RPtraining for the on-shift Chemistry Technicians from that previously proposed in our2006 ERG submittal. The reduction in training is supported by the 2012 SEP On-shiftStaffing An alysis (GSA) which is provided in Attachment 4 (Reference 6.3). The OSAevaluated the on-shift ERG staff positions and verified that assigned personnel cancomplete required ERG functions/tasks in a timely manner; The GSA does not rely onthe on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the required ERG functions/tasksspecifically assigned to the on-shift RP Technician.Entergy is proposing to reduce the level of training provided to the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnicians who may be relied on to perform an initial ERG RP Technician supportrole.*The scope of training proposed in 2006 is documented in Reference 6.1 andsummarized in Attachment 3.*The scope of training proposed in 2016 is identified in Attachment 3 and involvestraining in the following specific task areas.o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetryThis revised training scope is consistent with the responsibilities and actions that wouldbe required of the on-shift Chemistry Technician during the first 30 minutes of an ERGevent consistent with the Gn-shift Staffing Analysis.4.2 Analysis of Reduced ERG Training Requirements for the "On-shift" ChemistryTechnicianThe GSA provides the basis for a proposed reduction in on-site Chemistry TechnicianTraining. Section 2.14 of NEI 10-05 states "Although developed to meet therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the staffing assessmentmethodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels oraugmented ERG response times. For example, an analysis could be performed with adesired response time for the augmenting ERG (e.g., 90 minutes), and the results thenused to support the basis for changing a staffing or augmentation time commitment."5 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry sampling tasks were notedas being time critical in the first 90 minutes of~any of the analyzed events. As such, theChemistry Technician is available to assist the RP Technician in performance ofdirected RP task work in the Operations Accident Assessment or Protective Actionfunctional areas as determined appropriate by the Shift Manager.The OSA has ensured that the PNPS ERO team members can accomplish the requiredmission in the first 90 minutes of ERO activation with the staffing and training of on-shiftstaff members proposed herein. The OSA assumed that the RP and ChemistryTechnicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position. TheOSA does not credit additional RP training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician inorder to ensure that the "on-shift" RP Technician can complete assigned emergencyplan functions in a timely manner. As such, assignment of any additional RP training tothe "on-shift" Chemistry Technician is not necessary and is considered to be anenhancement to the overall ERO organization.The OSA is included in this submittal as Attachment 4. Based on the OSA, theproposed reduction in "on-shift Chemistry Technician training is acceptable and doesnot adversely affect the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan or the ability ofassigned on-shift personnel to perform their assigned functions.5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/CriteriaThe regulatory standards, requirements and guidance involving ERO staffing andaugmentation are as follows:,*10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) -On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergencyresponse are unambiguously defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facilityaccident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timelyaugmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces amongvarious onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities arespecified.*10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A (in part) -The organization for coping withradiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities,responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergencyorganization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of anemergency.*NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Response Planning andPreparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 5, Section C, stated in part"The criteria and recommendations in this regulatory guide are methods that the6 Ito PNPS Letter 2.16.001NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the requirements in AppendixE to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be*met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide abasis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptableradiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness."In NUREG-0654, Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria," EvaluationCriteria ll.B.1 and ll.B.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard. EvaluationCriteria ll.B. 1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel forall shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shiftcomplement. Evaluation Criteria l1.B.5 states, in part, that:Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performedby the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity. Foremergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and forplant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignmentsshall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum StaffingRequirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies."Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans forNuclear Power Reactors," November 2011, describes a method that the NRC considersto be acceptable to implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q). In SectionC.2.a.(2), the NRC encourages licensees to arrange a conference call with the NRCstaff to clarify 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements and guidance within this regulatory guidefor EP changes to ERO staffing that reduce the licensee's capability to staff positions.Entergy completed and issued an OSA to satisfy the requirements in 10 CFR 50,Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 and standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2). The OSA wasperformed using the guidance in NEI 10-05, which has been reviewed by the NRC andfound to be an acceptable methodology to satisfy the regulatory requirement. As aresult of the OSA, Revision 44 of the SEP increased the minimum on-shift staffing levelto fourteen (14). There were no changes implemented to revise the current on-shift RPand Chemistry Technician staffing listed in Table B-I. The OSA was conductedassuming a response time of 90 minutes for the augmented ERO to allow the use of thisanalysis for a possible future extension in ERO augmentation times as addressed inSection 2.14 of NEI 10-05. No specific emergency response tasks requiring theaugmented ERO were identified in the OSA prior to the 90-minute period following theemergency declaration.Based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the healthand safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner,(2) such activities will continue to be conducted in accordance with the site licensingbasis, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the health andsafety of the public.7 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001In conclusion, Entergy has determined that the proposed training requirement changedoes not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements, and does notaffect conformance with any regulatory requirements or criteria.5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration DeterminationEntergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involvedwith the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?Response: No.The proposed training requirements change has no effect on normal plant operationor on any accident initiator. The change affects the response to radiologicalemergencies addressed in the SEP. The ability of the emergency responseorganization to respond adequately to radiological emergencies has been evaluated.Changes in the training provided to the on-shift organization, such as thereassignment of key on-shift emergency personnel to perform related RP functions,provide assurance of an effective emergency response without competing orconflicting duties. An analysis was also performed on the effect of the proposedchange on the timeliness of performing major tasks for the major functional areas ofthe SEP. The analysis concluded that the reduction in training requirements for the"on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the initial RP support tasks does not affectthe ability to perform the required RP Technician or Chemistry Technician tasks.Therefore, the change in ERG staff training does not increase the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated.2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?Response: No.The proposed change affects the training requirements for the "on-shift" ChemistryTechnician and for supplementing onsite personnel in response to a radiologicalemergency. It has been evaluated and determined not to significantly affect the abilityto perform required or related functions. It has no effect on the plant design or on thenormal operation of the plant and does not affect how the plant is physically operatedunder emergency conditions. The reduction in ERG training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician in the SEP does not affect the plant operating procedureswhich are performed by plant staff during all plant conditions.8 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001No new or different accidents are postulated to occur and there are no changes inany of the accidents previously evaluated.3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response: No.The proposed change does not affect plant design or method of operation.10 CFR 50.47 (b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E establish emergency planningstandards and requirements that require adequate staffing, satisfactory performanceof key functional areas and critical tasks, and timely augmentation of the responsecapability. Since the SEP was originally developed, there have been improvements inthe technology used to support the SEP functions and in the capabilities of onsitepersonnel. A functional analysis was performed on the effect of the proposed changeon the timeliness of performing major tasks for the functional areas of the SEP. Theanalysis concluded that a reduction in training requirements for the "on-shift"Chemistry Technician would not significantly affect the ability to perform the requiredSEP tasks. Thus, the proposed change has been determined not to adversely affectthe ability to meet the emergency planning standards as described in 10 CER 50.47(b) and requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.The proposed ERO staff training change does not involve a reduction in any marginof safety. The proposed change is consistent with the original and current EROstaffing levels implemented at PNPS.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents nosignificant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and,accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.Environmental ConsiderationThe proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) anychanges in the types or any increase in the amounts of any effluent that may bereleased offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupationalradiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterionfor categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9).

1 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT
 
==1.0 DESCRIPTION==
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Requestof Holder,"
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff review and approval of a revision to the Pilgrim Nuclear PowerPlant (PNPS) Site Emergency Plan (SEP) to decrease the Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) staff training provided for the "on-site" Chemistry Technician.
Entergy has reviewed the proposed changes against the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)and requirements in 10 CER 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."
2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEEntergy is proposing to revise the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) stafftraining requirements identified for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician.
Attachment 3identifies the proposed staff training requirements and provides a comparison to thetraining requirements previously identified in our 2006 submittal to the NRC Staff, datedJuly 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1).Subsequent review of the Pilgrim On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) dated December2012 (Reference 6.3) and the job performance requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician indicate that previously identified training tasks and task qualification functions listed in the 2006 ERO submittal are not necessary for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the "on-shift" RP Technician function/position at the onset of anERO event._Proposed Trainingc ChancieWe are proposing that the scope of the Chemistry Technician job training that isneeded to support initial "on-shift" RP Technician functions be limited to thefollowing general RP support tasks:o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry A list of plant specific training to support these functions is provided in Attachment
 
====3.3.0 BACKGROUND====
The specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond toemergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility2 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously  
: defined, adequatestaffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times..."
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires licensee emergency plans to contain,in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation ofthe emergency organization.
NUREG-0654 (Reference 6.2), Section II.B, "Onsite Emergency Organization,"
presentsguidance for meeting these requirements.
The guidance describes the onsiteemergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table B-I,"Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power PlantEmergencies."
This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four MajorFunctional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response tasks where the duties maybe performed by shift personnel who are assigned other tasks (i.e., there are nodedicated responders to perform these tasks). -The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting EROpersonnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments.
Theaugmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, andadministrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focusmore fully on plant operations.
NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, inaddition to on-shift personnel, 30 and 60-minute responders.
On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Registeramending certain' emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations thatgovern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 6.5). Thisfinal rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization,"
toaddress the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that couldpotentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergency plan functions.
Specifically, Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform "... adetailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."Coincident with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRCissued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance  
-Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants" (Reference 6.6). This Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides information relevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis.
The ISG states that the NuclearEnergy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-ShiftEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities,"
to establish a standardmethodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing  
: analysis, and that the NRCreviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose.The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part ofthe emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).
3 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0014.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS4.1 Pilgrim-Specific Background Information The Pilgrim SEP (Rev 0) was originally issued in 1983. The SEP Table B-I plantstaffing figure, indicated that one (1) "on-shift" RP Technician and one (1) "on-shift" 1Chemistry Technician would be available for ERO response to support in-plant surveysand radio chemistry tasks under the Radiological Accident Assessment functional area.The SEP Table B-I was updated in 1990 (rev 10) and indicated a staff change from one(1) to two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians in the Accident Assessment Support functional area. The purpose of the revision was identified as an editorial table change to creditthe additional RP Technician that was listed in the Protective Action(s)  
(in Plant)functional area of the table and "to better reflect the format" of NUREG 0654. This SEPrevision was submitted to the NRC (Reference 6.7).In a letter dated July 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1), Entergy proposed to the NRC Staff tosubstitute the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician for the second "on-shift" RP Technician tohandleERO responsibilities during the first thirty (30) minutes of an event. As part ofthat proposal, Entergy stated that PNPS would (1) provide additional training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician(s);
and (2) remove the second "on-shift" RP Technician from the shift when appropriate training was provided for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians.
This prior SEP submittal supported the removal of one (1) of two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians listed in SEP, Table B-I, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for theEmergency Response Organization."
This Table B-i change was consistent with ouroriginal 1983 SEP and the guidance contained in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-I.,
Rev. 1,dated November 1980 (Reference 6.2).In a letter dated February 5, 2007 (Reference 6.4), the NRC Staff responded to our July14, 2006 request.
The letter stated "The NRC staff has concluded that incorporation ofthe proposed changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Planand the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of Section 50.47(b) and therequirements of Appendix E to Title 10 Part 50 of the Code of federal Regulations.
Thebasis for our conclusion is contained in the enclosed safety evaluation.
In light of theabove, no NRC approval is necessary."
On the top of Page 3, the NRC Staff's SErestates the conclusion that the incorporation of the proposed changes do not decreasethe effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan and the plan, as changed, continues tomeet standards of Section 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.At Pilgrim Station since 2007, an on-shift Chemistry Technician supplements the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician in fulfilling the RP duties of the ERO duringthe early phase of ERO activation.
Four (4) additional RP Technicians are currently required to report to the site within 30 minutes, with the addition of four (4) more RPTechnicians reporting to the site in 60 minutes.
These additional RP Technicians provide support roles in the ERO Accident Assessment functional area after the first 304 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001minutes.
In Reference 6.1, Entergy outlined to the NRC Staff the specific training to beprovided to the Chemistry Technicians to support their fulfillment of the RP role for theearly phase of ERG activation.
: Recently, Entergy discovered we were not providing the in-depth training for the on-shiftChemistry Technicians as documented in our letter dated July 14, 2006. A condition report was written and immediate actions were taken to address the issue. Specifically, a second RP Technician was added to each shift to restore the staffing levels that weredefined prior to F'ebruary 5, 2007 Table B-I revision.
Subsequently, Entergy has determined we could provide a reduced scope of RPtraining for the on-shift Chemistry Technicians from that previously proposed in our2006 ERG submittal.
The reduction in training is supported by the 2012 SEP On-shiftStaffing An alysis (GSA) which is provided in Attachment 4 (Reference 6.3). The OSAevaluated the on-shift ERG staff positions and verified that assigned personnel cancomplete required ERG functions/tasks in a timely manner; The GSA does not rely onthe on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the required ERG functions/tasks specifically assigned to the on-shift RP Technician.
Entergy is proposing to reduce the level of training provided to the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians who may be relied on to perform an initial ERG RP Technician supportrole.*The scope of training proposed in 2006 is documented in Reference 6.1 andsummarized in Attachment 3.*The scope of training proposed in 2016 is identified in Attachment 3 and involvestraining in the following specific task areas.o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry This revised training scope is consistent with the responsibilities and actions that wouldbe required of the on-shift Chemistry Technician during the first 30 minutes of an ERGevent consistent with the Gn-shift Staffing Analysis.
4.2 Analysis of Reduced ERG Training Requirements for the "On-shift" Chemistry Technician The GSA provides the basis for a proposed reduction in on-site Chemistry Technician Training.
Section 2.14 of NEI 10-05 states "Although developed to meet therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the staffing assessment methodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels oraugmented ERG response times. For example, an analysis could be performed with adesired response time for the augmenting ERG (e.g., 90 minutes),
and the results thenused to support the basis for changing a staffing or augmentation time commitment."
5 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry sampling tasks were notedas being time critical in the first 90 minutes of~any of the analyzed events. As such, theChemistry Technician is available to assist the RP Technician in performance ofdirected RP task work in the Operations Accident Assessment or Protective Actionfunctional areas as determined appropriate by the Shift Manager.The OSA has ensured that the PNPS ERO team members can accomplish the requiredmission in the first 90 minutes of ERO activation with the staffing and training of on-shiftstaff members proposed herein. The OSA assumed that the RP and Chemistry Technicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
TheOSA does not credit additional RP training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician inorder to ensure that the "on-shift" RP Technician can complete assigned emergency plan functions in a timely manner. As such, assignment of any additional RP training tothe "on-shift" Chemistry Technician is not necessary and is considered to be anenhancement to the overall ERO organization.
The OSA is included in this submittal as Attachment  
: 4. Based on the OSA, theproposed reduction in "on-shift Chemistry Technician training is acceptable and doesnot adversely affect the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan or the ability ofassigned on-shift personnel to perform their assigned functions.
5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulatory standards, requirements and guidance involving ERO staffing andaugmentation are as follows:,
*10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)  
-On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously  
: defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facilityaccident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timelyaugmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces amongvarious onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities arespecified.
*10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A (in part) -The organization for coping withradiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergency organization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of anemergency.
*NRC Regulatory Guide 1.101, "Emergency Response Planning andPreparedness for Nuclear Power Reactors,"
Revision 5, Section C, stated in part"The criteria and recommendations in this regulatory guide are methods that the6 Attachment 1Ito PNPS Letter 2.16.001NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the requirements in AppendixE to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be*met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide abasis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptable radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness."
In NUREG-0654, Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria,"
Evaluation Criteria ll.B.1 and ll.B.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard.
Evaluation Criteria ll.B. 1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel forall shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shiftcomplement.
Evaluation Criteria l1.B.5 states, in part, that:Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity.
Foremergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and forplant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum StaffingRequirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies."
Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans forNuclear Power Reactors,"
November 2011, describes a method that the NRC considers to be acceptable to implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q).
In SectionC.2.a.(2),
the NRC encourages licensees to arrange a conference call with the NRCstaff to clarify 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements and guidance within this regulatory guidefor EP changes to ERO staffing that reduce the licensee's capability to staff positions.
Entergy completed and issued an OSA to satisfy the requirements in 10 CFR 50,Appendix E, Section IV.A.9 and standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2).
The OSA wasperformed using the guidance in NEI 10-05, which has been reviewed by the NRC andfound to be an acceptable methodology to satisfy the regulatory requirement.
As aresult of the OSA, Revision 44 of the SEP increased the minimum on-shift staffing levelto fourteen (14). There were no changes implemented to revise the current on-shift RPand Chemistry Technician staffing listed in Table B-I. The OSA was conducted assuming a response time of 90 minutes for the augmented ERO to allow the use of thisanalysis for a possible future extension in ERO augmentation times as addressed inSection 2.14 of NEI 10-05. No specific emergency response tasks requiring theaugmented ERO were identified in the OSA prior to the 90-minute period following theemergency declaration.
Based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the healthand safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner,(2) such activities will continue to be conducted in accordance with the site licensing basis, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the health andsafety of the public.7 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001In conclusion, Entergy has determined that the proposed training requirement changedoes not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements, and does notaffect conformance with any regulatory requirements or criteria.
5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Entergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involvedwith the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment,"
as discussed below:1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed training requirements change has no effect on normal plant operation or on any accident initiator.
The change affects the response to radiological emergencies addressed in the SEP. The ability of the emergency responseorganization to respond adequately to radiological emergencies has been evaluated.
Changes in the training provided to the on-shift organization, such as thereassignment of key on-shift emergency personnel to perform related RP functions, provide assurance of an effective emergency response without competing orconflicting duties. An analysis was also performed on the effect of the proposedchange on the timeliness of performing major tasks for the major functional areas ofthe SEP. The analysis concluded that the reduction in training requirements for the"on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the initial RP support tasks does not affectthe ability to perform the required RP Technician or Chemistry Technician tasks.Therefore, the change in ERG staff training does not increase the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated.
: 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed change affects the training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician and for supplementing onsite personnel in response to a radiological emergency.
It has been evaluated and determined not to significantly affect the abilityto perform required or related functions.
It has no effect on the plant design or on thenormal operation of the plant and does not affect how the plant is physically operatedunder emergency conditions.
The reduction in ERG training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician in the SEP does not affect the plant operating procedures which are performed by plant staff during all plant conditions.
8 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001No new or different accidents are postulated to occur and there are no changes inany of the accidents previously evaluated.
: 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.The proposed change does not affect plant design or method of operation.
10 CFR 50.47 (b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E establish emergency planningstandards and requirements that require adequate  
: staffing, satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks, and timely augmentation of the responsecapability.
Since the SEP was originally developed, there have been improvements inthe technology used to support the SEP functions and in the capabilities of onsitepersonnel.
A functional analysis was performed on the effect of the proposed changeon the timeliness of performing major tasks for the functional areas of the SEP. Theanalysis concluded that a reduction in training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician would not significantly affect the ability to perform the requiredSEP tasks. Thus, the proposed change has been determined not to adversely affectthe ability to meet the emergency planning standards as described in 10 CER 50.47(b) and requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.The proposed ERO staff training change does not involve a reduction in any marginof safety. The proposed change is consistent with the original and current EROstaffing levels implemented at PNPS.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents nosignificant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),
and,accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.Environmental Consideration The proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) anychanges in the types or any increase in the amounts of any effluent that may bereleased  
: offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needsto be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

1.0 DESCRIPTION

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Requestof Holder,"

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff review and approval of a revision to the Pilgrim Nuclear PowerPlant (PNPS) Site Emergency Plan (SEP) to decrease the Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) staff training provided for the "on-site" Chemistry Technician.

Entergy has reviewed the proposed changes against the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)and requirements in 10 CER 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEEntergy is proposing to revise the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) stafftraining requirements identified for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician.

Attachment 3identifies the proposed staff training requirements and provides a comparison to thetraining requirements previously identified in our 2006 submittal to the NRC Staff, datedJuly 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1).Subsequent review of the Pilgrim On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) dated December2012 (Reference 6.3) and the job performance requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician indicate that previously identified training tasks and task qualification functions listed in the 2006 ERO submittal are not necessary for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the "on-shift" RP Technician function/position at the onset of anERO event._Proposed Trainingc ChancieWe are proposing that the scope of the Chemistry Technician job training that isneeded to support initial "on-shift" RP Technician functions be limited to thefollowing general RP support tasks:o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry A list of plant specific training to support these functions is provided in Attachment

3.3.0 BACKGROUND

The specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond toemergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility2 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously

defined, adequatestaffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times..."

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires licensee emergency plans to contain,in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation ofthe emergency organization.

NUREG-0654 (Reference 6.2),Section II.B, "Onsite Emergency Organization,"

presentsguidance for meeting these requirements.

The guidance describes the onsiteemergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table B-I,"Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power PlantEmergencies."

This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four MajorFunctional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response tasks where the duties maybe performed by shift personnel who are assigned other tasks (i.e., there are nodedicated responders to perform these tasks). -The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting EROpersonnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments.

Theaugmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, andadministrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focusmore fully on plant operations.

NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, inaddition to on-shift personnel, 30 and 60-minute responders.

On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Registeramending certain' emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations thatgovern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 6.5). Thisfinal rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization,"

toaddress the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that couldpotentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergency plan functions.

Specifically,Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform "... adetailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."Coincident with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRCissued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants" (Reference 6.6). This Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides information relevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis.

The ISG states that the NuclearEnergy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-ShiftEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities,"

to establish a standardmethodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing

analysis, and that the NRCreviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose.The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part ofthe emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).

3 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0014.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS4.1 Pilgrim-Specific Background Information The Pilgrim SEP (Rev 0) was originally issued in 1983. The SEP Table B-I plantstaffing figure, indicated that one (1) "on-shift" RP Technician and one (1) "on-shift" 1Chemistry Technician would be available for ERO response to support in-plant surveysand radio chemistry tasks under the Radiological Accident Assessment functional area.The SEP Table B-I was updated in 1990 (rev 10) and indicated a staff change from one(1) to two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians in the Accident Assessment Support functional area. The purpose of the revision was identified as an editorial table change to creditthe additional RP Technician that was listed in the Protective Action(s)

(in Plant)functional area of the table and "to better reflect the format" of NUREG 0654. This SEPrevision was submitted to the NRC (Reference 6.7).In a letter dated July 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1), Entergy proposed to the NRC Staff tosubstitute the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician for the second "on-shift" RP Technician tohandleERO responsibilities during the first thirty (30) minutes of an event. As part ofthat proposal, Entergy stated that PNPS would (1) provide additional training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician(s);

and (2) remove the second "on-shift" RP Technician from the shift when appropriate training was provided for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians.

This prior SEP submittal supported the removal of one (1) of two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians listed in SEP, Table B-I, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for theEmergency Response Organization."

This Table B-i change was consistent with ouroriginal 1983 SEP and the guidance contained in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-I.,

Rev. 1,dated November 1980 (Reference 6.2).In a letter dated February 5, 2007 (Reference 6.4), the NRC Staff responded to our July14, 2006 request.

The letter stated "The NRC staff has concluded that incorporation ofthe proposed changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Planand the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of Section 50.47(b) and therequirements of Appendix E to Title 10 Part 50 of the Code of federal Regulations.

Thebasis for our conclusion is contained in the enclosed safety evaluation.

In light of theabove, no NRC approval is necessary."

On the top of Page 3, the NRC Staff's SErestates the conclusion that the incorporation of the proposed changes do not decreasethe effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan and the plan, as changed, continues tomeet standards of Section 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.At Pilgrim Station since 2007, an on-shift Chemistry Technician supplements the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician in fulfilling the RP duties of the ERO duringthe early phase of ERO activation.

Four (4) additional RP Technicians are currently required to report to the site within 30 minutes, with the addition of four (4) more RPTechnicians reporting to the site in 60 minutes.

These additional RP Technicians provide support roles in the ERO Accident Assessment functional area after the first 304 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001minutes.

In Reference 6.1, Entergy outlined to the NRC Staff the specific training to beprovided to the Chemistry Technicians to support their fulfillment of the RP role for theearly phase of ERG activation.

Recently, Entergy discovered we were not providing the in-depth training for the on-shiftChemistry Technicians as documented in our letter dated July 14, 2006. A condition report was written and immediate actions were taken to address the issue. Specifically, a second RP Technician was added to each shift to restore the staffing levels that weredefined prior to F'ebruary 5, 2007 Table B-I revision.

Subsequently, Entergy has determined we could provide a reduced scope of RPtraining for the on-shift Chemistry Technicians from that previously proposed in our2006 ERG submittal.

The reduction in training is supported by the 2012 SEP On-shiftStaffing An alysis (GSA) which is provided in Attachment 4 (Reference 6.3). The OSAevaluated the on-shift ERG staff positions and verified that assigned personnel cancomplete required ERG functions/tasks in a timely manner; The GSA does not rely onthe on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the required ERG functions/tasks specifically assigned to the on-shift RP Technician.

Entergy is proposing to reduce the level of training provided to the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians who may be relied on to perform an initial ERG RP Technician supportrole.*The scope of training proposed in 2006 is documented in Reference 6.1 andsummarized in Attachment 3.*The scope of training proposed in 2016 is identified in Attachment 3 and involvestraining in the following specific task areas.o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry This revised training scope is consistent with the responsibilities and actions that wouldbe required of the on-shift Chemistry Technician during the first 30 minutes of an ERGevent consistent with the Gn-shift Staffing Analysis.

4.2 Analysis of Reduced ERG Training Requirements for the "On-shift" Chemistry Technician The GSA provides the basis for a proposed reduction in on-site Chemistry Technician Training.

Section 2.14 of NEI 10-05 states "Although developed to meet therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the staffing assessment methodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels oraugmented ERG response times. For example, an analysis could be performed with adesired response time for the augmenting ERG (e.g., 90 minutes),

and the results thenused to support the basis for changing a staffing or augmentation time commitment."

5 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry sampling tasks were notedas being time critical in the first 90 minutes of~any of the analyzed events. As such, theChemistry Technician is available to assist the RP Technician in performance ofdirected RP task work in the Operations Accident Assessment or Protective Actionfunctional areas as determined appropriate by the Shift Manager.The OSA has ensured that the PNPS ERO team members can accomplish the requiredmission in the first 90 minutes of ERO activation with the staffing and training of on-shiftstaff members proposed herein. The OSA assumed that the RP and Chemistry Technicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.

TheOSA does not credit additional RP training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician inorder to ensure that the "on-shift" RP Technician can complete assigned emergency plan functions in a timely manner. As such, assignment of any additional RP training tothe "on-shift" Chemistry Technician is not necessary and is considered to be anenhancement to the overall ERO organization.

The OSA is included in this submittal as Attachment

4. Based on the OSA, theproposed reduction in "on-shift Chemistry Technician training is acceptable and doesnot adversely affect the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan or the ability ofassigned on-shift personnel to perform their assigned functions.

5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulatory standards, requirements and guidance involving ERO staffing andaugmentation are as follows:,

  • 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)

-On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously

defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facilityaccident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timelyaugmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces amongvarious onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities arespecified.
  • 10 CFR 50, Appendix E,Section IV.A (in part) -The organization for coping withradiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergency organization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of anemergency.

Revision 5, Section C, stated in part"The criteria and recommendations in this regulatory guide are methods that the6 Attachment 1Ito PNPS Letter 2.16.001NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the requirements in AppendixE to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be*met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide abasis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptable radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness."

In NUREG-0654,Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria,"

Evaluation Criteria ll.B.1 and ll.B.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard.

Evaluation Criteria ll.B. 1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel forall shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shiftcomplement.

Evaluation Criteria l1.B.5 states, in part, that:Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity.

Foremergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and forplant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum StaffingRequirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies."

Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans forNuclear Power Reactors,"

November 2011, describes a method that the NRC considers to be acceptable to implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q).

In SectionC.2.a.(2),

the NRC encourages licensees to arrange a conference call with the NRCstaff to clarify 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements and guidance within this regulatory guidefor EP changes to ERO staffing that reduce the licensee's capability to staff positions.

Entergy completed and issued an OSA to satisfy the requirements in 10 CFR 50,Appendix E,Section IV.A.9 and standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2).

The OSA wasperformed using the guidance in NEI 10-05, which has been reviewed by the NRC andfound to be an acceptable methodology to satisfy the regulatory requirement.

As aresult of the OSA, Revision 44 of the SEP increased the minimum on-shift staffing levelto fourteen (14). There were no changes implemented to revise the current on-shift RPand Chemistry Technician staffing listed in Table B-I. The OSA was conducted assuming a response time of 90 minutes for the augmented ERO to allow the use of thisanalysis for a possible future extension in ERO augmentation times as addressed inSection 2.14 of NEI 10-05. No specific emergency response tasks requiring theaugmented ERO were identified in the OSA prior to the 90-minute period following theemergency declaration.

Based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the healthand safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner,(2) such activities will continue to be conducted in accordance with the site licensing basis, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the health andsafety of the public.7 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001In conclusion, Entergy has determined that the proposed training requirement changedoes not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements, and does notaffect conformance with any regulatory requirements or criteria.

5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Entergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involvedwith the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment,"

as discussed below:1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No.The proposed training requirements change has no effect on normal plant operation or on any accident initiator.

The change affects the response to radiological emergencies addressed in the SEP. The ability of the emergency responseorganization to respond adequately to radiological emergencies has been evaluated.

Changes in the training provided to the on-shift organization, such as thereassignment of key on-shift emergency personnel to perform related RP functions, provide assurance of an effective emergency response without competing orconflicting duties. An analysis was also performed on the effect of the proposedchange on the timeliness of performing major tasks for the major functional areas ofthe SEP. The analysis concluded that the reduction in training requirements for the"on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the initial RP support tasks does not affectthe ability to perform the required RP Technician or Chemistry Technician tasks.Therefore, the change in ERG staff training does not increase the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No.The proposed change affects the training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician and for supplementing onsite personnel in response to a radiological emergency.

It has been evaluated and determined not to significantly affect the abilityto perform required or related functions.

It has no effect on the plant design or on thenormal operation of the plant and does not affect how the plant is physically operatedunder emergency conditions.

The reduction in ERG training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician in the SEP does not affect the plant operating procedures which are performed by plant staff during all plant conditions.

8 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001No new or different accidents are postulated to occur and there are no changes inany of the accidents previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:

No.The proposed change does not affect plant design or method of operation.

10 CFR 50.47 (b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E establish emergency planningstandards and requirements that require adequate

staffing, satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks, and timely augmentation of the responsecapability.

Since the SEP was originally developed, there have been improvements inthe technology used to support the SEP functions and in the capabilities of onsitepersonnel.

A functional analysis was performed on the effect of the proposed changeon the timeliness of performing major tasks for the functional areas of the SEP. Theanalysis concluded that a reduction in training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician would not significantly affect the ability to perform the requiredSEP tasks. Thus, the proposed change has been determined not to adversely affectthe ability to meet the emergency planning standards as described in 10 CER 50.47(b) and requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.The proposed ERO staff training change does not involve a reduction in any marginof safety. The proposed change is consistent with the original and current EROstaffing levels implemented at PNPS.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents nosignificant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),

and,accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.Environmental Consideration The proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) anychanges in the types or any increase in the amounts of any effluent that may bereleased

offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9).

Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR 51.22(b),

no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needsto be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

This analysis examined the capability of the minimum staff listed in TableB-i of the PNPS Emergency Plan (E-Plan) to perform the actions for the key functional areas of events described in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, until augmenting Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staff arrives in accordance with the E-plan.2. The OSA review team determined that an on-shift staff of fourteen (14) is required to respond to the most limiting accident scenario

reviewed, main control room fire andshutdown at the remote shutdown panel.3. NEI 10-05 staffing analysis of on-shift personnel to perform the required emergency planning functions and the licensing basis requirement for each on-shift position.

NEI 10-05recommends one (1) on-shift RP Technician and one (1) on-shift Chemistry Technician.

The PNPS SEP is consistent with the NEI guidance.

4. The primary responsibility for the Chemistry Technician is chemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry job tasks were noted as being time critical or requiredduring the first 90 minutes of any of the analyzed events.5. The 2012 OSA analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement to maintain continuous communications with the notification source during an aircraft threatin accordance with 10CFR50.54(hh) and Reg. Guide 1.214. There are no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function is not required to be assigned inadvance.

The review of the Aircraft Threat Accident identified that there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action during the event, Specifically, a licensed or non-licensed nuclear plant operator, the rad protection technician, and chemistry technician were all available to fill this function.

6. Augmentation time for some ERO positions is 30 minutes.

The OSA analysis was completed for the 90 minute period since the emergency response facilities are required to beoperational in 60 minutes.

No credit was taken for current 30 minute responders.

Tasks for event response were reviewed for 90 minutes following the declaration.

No specificemergency response tasks requiring the augmented ERO were identified during the 90 minutes following the emergency declaration.

7. The 2012 OSA assumed individuals holding the position of RP technician or Chemistry technician are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.

74PNPS Page 3PNPSPage 3 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTI. INTRODUCTION This report is the finai report for the On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) that commenced at PilgrimNuclear Power Station (PNPS) during the week of March 19 -22, 2012. This OSA satisfies therequirement of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Section IV.A.9, which states that nuclear power licensees shall perform "a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan. "A structured approach was utilized to perform this analysis using the guidance found in NEI 10-05, Rev. 0,Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities.

Thisanalysis examined the capability of the minimum staff listed in Table B-I of the PNPS Emergency Plan (E-Plan) to perform the actions for the key functional areas of events described inNSIRIDPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, untilaugmenting Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staff arrives in accordance with the E-plan.I. ANALYSIS SUMMARYThe OSA team determined that an on-shift staff of fourteen (14) is required to respond to themost limiting accident scenario

reviewed, main control room fire and shutdown at the remoteshutdown panel. The on-shift staff consists of individuals necessary to support each of the E-Planfunctional areas or tasks:* Emergency Direction and Control* Plant Operations and Safe Shutdown (SSD)* Fire Fighting (FB)* Accident Assessment
  • Radiation Protection and Chemistry
  • Notification/Comnmunication
  • Technical Support* Accountability NEI 10-05 states it is acceptable for certain functions or tasks to be assigned to personnel already assigned other primary functions/tasks.

These include Repair and Corrective Action,Rescue Operations and First Aid.PNPS Page 4PNPSPage 4 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTA. Emergency Plan Minimum StaffingPer 10 CFR 50.54 (q)(1)(iii),

Emergency planning function means a capability or resourcenecessary to prepare for and respond to a radiological emergency, as set forth in theelements of section IV of Appendix E and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, theplanning standards of § 50.47(b).

The following table indicates the result of the NEI 10-05 staffing analysis of on-shift-personnel to perform the required emergency planning functions and the licensing basisrequirement for each on-shift position.

These on-shift members (e.g., NLO, Security) are available tosupport the Shift Manager, where qualified, in non-fire events.2SSD NLO can be filled by RO or SRO.3E-Plan Communicator can be replaced by SRO that is qualified for the task.4One of the 5 NLOs is a Radwaste OperatorPNPSPage 5 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTI-7B. Other Commitments to Shift StaffingNoneC. Staffing Exceptions and Time Motion Studies (TMS)1. The primary responsibility for the Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry job tasks were notedas being time critical or required during the first 90 minutes of any of theanalyzed events. It is therefore acceptable to assign the Chemistry Technician the E-Plan function of dose assessment.

In addition, the RP Technician sharesthe responsibility for dose assessment.

It is recognized,

however, that the ShiftManager will prioritize and utilize the on-shift staff as needed for RP, Chemistry and dose assessment.

No further analysis or TMS is required.

2. The Shift Manager is assigned the responsibility to make some notifications perprocedure 1.3.12. The notifications by phone are considered communications that are approximately one minute in length and are acceptable tasks for the ShiftManager.

No further analysis or TMS is required.

3. The analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement tomaintain continuous communications with the notification source during anaircraft threat in accordance with 10OCFR50.54(hh) and Reg. Guide 1.214. Thereare no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function is notrequired to be assigned in advance.

The review of the Aircraft Threat Accidentidentified that there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action duringthe event. Specifically, a licensed or non-licensed nuclear plant operator, the radprotection technician, and chemistry technician were all available to fill thisfunction.

No further analysis TMS is required.

4. A time motion study was completed for the Shift Manager action to perform thesafe shutdown actions to initiate a scram and close the MSIVs by manipulating RPS breakers and pulling fuses. The Shift Manager leaves the control room andpasses the equipment on the way to the Technical Support Center. The ShiftManager demonstrated the safe shutdown actions can be completed inapproximately six (6) minutes while maintaining emergency direction and controlthrough radio contact with other operators aligning safe shutdown equipment.

Details of the TMS are found in section VIII Appendix C.PNPS Page 6PNPSPage 6 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTD. Emergency Plan Tasks Not Analyzed:' 1. Repair and Corrective Action -Per the guidance of NUREG-0654, Table B-I,repair and corrective action tasks may be performed by dedicated shift personnel or qualified shift personnel assigned other functions/tasks.

Repair and corrective action is defined as:*An action that can be performed promptly to restore a non-functional component to functional status (e.g., resetting a breaker),

or to place acomponent in a desired configuration (e.g., open a valve), and which doesnot require work planning or implementation of lockout/tagout controls tocomplete.

In accordance with NEI 10-05 section 2.5, the analysis included a review of therepair and corrective action tasks. For the purpose of this analysis, the taskswere considered to fall into two broad categories:

  • Unplanned/unexpected actions that address equipment failures.

Theseactions are contingent in nature and cannot be specified in advance.* Planned/expected actions performed in support of operating procedure implementation, including severe accident management guidelines.

At PNPS, a Nuclear Plant Reactor Operator on shift will primarily be available tothe Shift Manager to perform actions to assist in controlling/mitigating the event.Initial corrective actions are contained in and controlled by plant operating procedures.

The Nuclear Plant Operators have been trained to perform specificactions within the Abnormal and Emergency Operating Procedures andmaintenance support is not required.

Maintenance is not included in the on-shiftstaff. Repair and Corrective Action is an acceptable collateral duty per theguidance of NEI 10-05 and was not analyzed2. Rescue Operations and First Aid: in accordance with NEI 10-05 section 2.6, theanalysis also included a review of rescue operations and first aid response.

Perthe guidance of NUREG-0654, Table B-i, rescue operations and first aid may beperformed by shift personnel assigned other functions/tasks.

The fire brigademembers (NLOs) are trained to perform rescue operations and are assigned thetask should the need arise. Additionally, select Security staff members aretrained to First Responder standards and meet the basic requirements to renderfirst aid and CPR. Should first aid be required during a hostile action securityevent, first aid actions will be performed after the security threat is neutralized and the site is secure. Rescue operations and first aid were not required in any ofthe accident scenarios reviewed.

Rescue operation and first aid are acceptable collateral duties per the guidance of NEI 10-05 and was not analyzed.

PNPS Page 7PNPSPage 7 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTIll. ANALYSIS PROCESSThis analysis was conducted by a joint team of corporate Emergency Preparedness (EP)personnel and station personnel from the Operations, Operations

Training, EP Training, Radiation Protection, Chemistry and Emergency Preparedness (EP) departments.

Additionally, personnel from Security provided input to the analysis when necessary.

The team members areidentified in Section Xl of this report.The emergency response to each event scenario was determined by conducting a tabletop of theevent using the emergency plan and procedures and the applicable department procedures suchas Operations emergency and abnormal operating procedures.

Each scenario was reviewed by the cross disciplinary team to determine what plant actions andemergency plan implementation actions were required based on plant procedures prior to staffaugmentation.

These actions were then compared to the minimum staffing for Emergency Planimplementation as described in the Emergency Plan Table B-I, ensuring that no actions wereassigned to staff members that conflicted with either their dedicated emergency plan role or theirdedicated operational role as appropriate.

In cases where multiple tasks were assigned to anindividual in their role, the team evaluated timing of the' tasks to ensure that they could beperformed by the individual in series within any specified time requirements.

The results of the analysis for each of the scenarios are included in Section VII, APPENDIX B -ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS.

Note that NSIR DPR-ISG-01 states that only DBA accidents "which would result in an emergency declaration" should be evaluated in the staffing assessment.

Each of PNPS DBA's were evaluated and classified according to its FSAR Chapter 14description.

If the accident description alone did not result in a classification, the projected accident EAB dose found in the ESAR was utilized to determine if an EAL threshold would beexceeded within the first 60 minutes using the Abnormal Rad Level EAL thresholds.

In caseswhere several projected dose rates were provided or release data was not detailed significantly todetermine an EAL, the assessment used the radiological consequences associated with therealistic case in accordance with NEI 10-05.PNPS Page 8PNPSPage 8 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTIV. ACCIDENT SCENARIOS A. Accident Selection

1. The OSA scenarios were chosen using the guidance of NE1 10-05 andNSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants."

The evaluation considered the station Design Basis Accidents (DBA) described in the FSAR along with additional scenarios specified by theguidance documents.

The scenarios considered were:* Design Basis Threat (DBT) ground assault* DBA Control Rod Drop Accident* DBA Loading Error Accident* DBA Loss of Coolant Accident* DBA Main Steam Line Break Accident* DBA Fuel Handling Accident* DBA Radwaste System Accident* Aircraft Probable Threat* Fire Requiring Evacuation of the Control Room and Plant ShutdownFrom Alternate

Location,
  • Station Blackout, (SBO)* LOCA/General Emergency with release and PARa LOCA with entry into Severe Accident Management
  • Fire Resulting in Reactor Trip (Appendix R fire)B. Accident Scenarios included in the Analysis1. Design Basis Threat as described in NE! 10-05* Land and/or waterborne Hostile Action directed against the Protected Area by a Hostile Force. This event assumes the threat is neutralized immediately when inside the protected area fence, no significant damageto equipment or systems that require corrective actions before the EROis staffed, no radiological
release, and no fire that requires firefighting response before the ERO is staffed2. Control Rod Drop Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.1* One control rod drops and reactor trips on APRM 120% flux scram.Credit is not taken for MSIV closure.

Release pathway is throughcondenser, turbine building then to environment.

EAL is based oncondenser release information in FSAR.3. Loss of Coolant Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.3* Double ended guillotine break of a recirculation line. All ECCS operate-as designed.

EAL is based on fission product barrier EALs.4. Main Steam Line Break Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.4* Break of one main steam line and followed by MSIV closure.

Release isto the atmosphere through the top of the turbine building (puff release).

Fuel Handling Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.5* The accident involves a dropped fuel bundle on top of the core. InitialEAL is based on the event.6. Aircraft Probable Threat (50.54hh)

  • Notification is received from the NRC that a probable aircraft threat exists(>5 minutes,

<30 minutes)7. Control Room Fire and Alternate Shutdown* A fire occurs in the main control room requiring the evacuation and theprocedure implemented to perform shutdown from the alternate shutdown panels.8. Station Blackout* A loss of all offsite AC power occurs and the failure of the emergency diesel generators.

9. General Emergency with release and "PAR* Assume GE condition with dose projection indication of a release greaterthan the protective action guideline (PAG).C. Accident Scenarios Not Included in the Analysis1. Loading Error Accident as described in ESAR 14.1.5.2* Misloaded bundle in the core. No EAL condition is met.2. Radwaste System Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.6* No EAL condition is met.3. Implement SAMG* A review of the SAMGs associated with the initial site-specific Candidate High Level Actions concluded that no actions would require on-shiftpersonnel other than licensed and non-licensed operators.

No analysisrequired.

4. Appendix R Fire* Fire leading to reactor trip with complications.

The control room fire andalternate shutdown requires more resources and actions outside thecontrol room than this fire. The team concluded the control room firebounds the fire analysis.

No additional analysis required.

PNPS Page 10PNPSPage 10 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTV. GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS A. Notes and Assumptions Applicable to Pilgrim OSA:1. The RP and Chemistry tasks reviewed were those directed by the Shift Managerto support actions in Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOP), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP), and Emergency Implementing Procedures (EIP).Any additional tasks directed by the Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF') procedures werenot reviewed.

2. The augmentation time for some ERO positions is 30 minutes.

The analysis wascompleted for the 90 minute period since the emergency response facilities arerequired to be operational in 60 minutes.

No credit was taken for 30 minuteresponders.

Tasks for event response were reviewed for 90 minutes following thedeclaration.

No specific emergency response tasks requiring the augmented ERO were identified during the 90 minutes following the emergency declaration.

3. The OSA team determined there are no time critical RP and Chemistry tasks andthat task performance is directed and prioritized by the Shift Manager.

The timeRP or Chemistry is directed to perform a task and the amount of time taken tocomplete tasks are estimated.

No Chemistry samples are required by TechSpecs within the 90 minute period after a declaration.

Since the Shift Managerdirects when the tasks are performed, there are no overlapping RP or chemistry tasks.4. All crews have one individual filling the SM and one individual filling the STAroles therefore the analysis did not consider using a dual-role individual.

B. NEI 10-05 Assumptions

1. Response time used for this analysis was the maximum acceptable number ofminutes elapsed between emergency declaration and the augmented EROposition holder at a location necessary to relieve an on-shift position of theemergency response task. (60 mmn.)2. On-shift personnel complement was limited to the minimum required number andcomposition as described in the site emergency plan. If the plan commitments allow for different minimum staffing levels (e.g., a variance between a normaldayshift and a backshift),

use the staffing with the smallest total number ofpersonnel.

3. Although the temporary absence of a position may be allowed by Tech Specs,the analysis was performed assuming that all required on-shift positions arefilled.4. Event occurred during off-normal work hours where ERO was offsite and allrequired minimum on-shift positions were filled.5. On-shift personnel reported to their assigned response locations withintimeframes sufficient to allow for performance of assigned actions.PNPSPage 11 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORT6. On-shift staff has necessary Radiation Worker qualification to obtain normaldosimetry and enter the RCA (but not locked high or very high radiation areas)without the aid of a RP technician.
7. Personnel assigned plant operations and safe shutdown meets the requirements and guidance (analyzed through other programs such as operator training) andwas evaluated as part of this assessment unless a role/function/task fromanother major response area was assigned as collateral duty.8. In-plant (manual) safety related operator actions to manipulate components andequipment from locations outside the control room to achieve and maintain safeshutdown was done by a member of the on-shift staff as defined in the unit'sTech Specs.9. Fire brigade (FB) staff performance is analyzed through other station programs(e.g., fire drills) and was not evaluated as part of this assessment unless arole/function/task from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.10. Individuals holding the position of RP technician or Chemistry technician arequalified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
11. Security was not evaluated unless a role or function from another major responsearea was assigned as a collateral duty.12. Communications, briefings, and peer checks are acceptable collateral duties.13. All on-shift staff positions were evaluated, even if they had no known collateral duties, to ensure they can perform the tasks assigned to them. [Ref NSIRIDPR-ISG-01]14. The Staffing Analysis specified the resources available to perform "Repair andCorrective Actions" and "Rescue Operations and First Aid" but these may beassigned as collateral duty to a designated on-shift responder.
15. For assessment
purposes, NRC notifications were treated as a continuous actionper 10OCFR50.72(c)(3) and 73.71 (b)(1). This means once the initial NRCcommunications are established, the NRC will request an open line bemaintained with the NRC Operations Center.16. DBA (postulated
accident, Condition IV event, or limiting fault) is considered as"Unanticipated occurrences that are postulated for accident analysis purposesbut not expected to occur during the life of the plant. A postulated accident couldresult in sufficient damage to preclude resumption of plant operation.

As a result,a greater number and variety of actions would need to be implemented by plantpersonnel."

17. Unless otherwise specified in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, or by the FSAR initial conditions of a DBA analysis, it was assumed that the unit was in Mode 1, Power.PNPSPage 12 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORT18. DBT assumed a hostile force breached the protected area fence but wasneutralized with no adverse consequen~ces to plant safety. Damage inflicted onplant systems, structures and components was not sufficient to prevent safeshutdown or cause a radiological release.

There was no fire significant enough towarrant firefighting efforts prior to arrival of offsite resources and/or theaugmented ERO.19. The Staffing Analysis used DBA analysis assumptions, inputs, and timing ofevents as documented in the FSAR.20. In cases where a DBA analysis included a radiological

release, and the startingpoint of the release was not clearly defined, the staffing analysis assumed thatthe release began at the time of declaration of the initiating event.21. Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) -It is sufficient to simplyassume that the accident progressed to conditions requiring a severe accidentresponse; it is not necessary to determine specific failures and the accidentsequence.
22. SAMG -The actions to be analyzed include those that implement the initial site-specific actions assuming the core is no ex-vessel (i.e., no reactor vessel failure),

and there is not actual or imminent challenge to containment integrity.

  1. 2 -Control Rod Drop Accident1. Accident Summary* The control rod drop accident (CRDA) results from an assumed failure ofthe control rod-to-drive mechanism coupling after the control rod (veryreactive rod) becomes stuck in its fully inserted position.

It is assumedthat the control rod drive is then fully withdrawn before the stuck rod fallsout of the core. The control rod velocity

limiter, an engineered safeguard, limits the control rod drop velocity.

The resultant radioactive materialrelease is maintained far below the guideline values of 10OCFR50.67.

  • The worst case CRDA occurs during mechanical vacuum pumpoperation.

The mechanical vacuum pump trips and the radionuclides aretrapped in the condenser at atmospheric pressure to leak directly to theenvironment.

The condenser leakage scenario is bounding for PNPS.2. Accident Specific Assumptions Made* The FSAR assumes the MSIVs, MSL drains, and reactor water samplevalves remain open.* The OSA assumes a realistic case of an immediate release from thecondenser to the environment via the turbine building roof resulting in thecondenser leakage EAB dose.* The EAL is based on 1-hr (1/2) of the FSAR EAB dose.3.

Design Basis Accident Analysis

  1. 6 -Fuel Handling Accident1. Accident Summary* The fuel handling accident is assumed to occur as a consequence of afailure of the fuel assembly lifting mechanism, resulting in the dropping ofa raised fuel assembly onto the core. The drop causes mechanical damage to the bundle being dropped.* The drywell and reactor building are open with ventilation running.

Allreleases to the environment are through the reactor building ventilation.

  • The drop of a fuel bundle in containment over the reactor pressurevessel bounds a drop of a fuel bundle in the fuel building due to thegreater drop height.2. Accident Specific Assumptions Made* Onsite personnel will be in accordance with the refuel outage staffingplan that includes additional SROs, ROs, NLOs, RP Techs, andMaintenance.

1.0 DESCRIPTION

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, "Amendment of License or Construction Permit at Requestof Holder,"

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff review and approval of a revision to the Pilgrim Nuclear PowerPlant (PNPS) Site Emergency Plan (SEP) to decrease the Emergency ResponseOrganization (ERO) staff training provided for the "on-site" Chemistry Technician.

Entergy has reviewed the proposed changes against the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)and requirements in 10 CER 50, Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities."

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGEEntergy is proposing to revise the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) stafftraining requirements identified for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician.

Attachment 3identifies the proposed staff training requirements and provides a comparison to thetraining requirements previously identified in our 2006 submittal to the NRC Staff, datedJuly 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1).Subsequent review of the Pilgrim On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) dated December2012 (Reference 6.3) and the job performance requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician indicate that previously identified training tasks and task qualification functions listed in the 2006 ERO submittal are not necessary for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the "on-shift" RP Technician function/position at the onset of anERO event._Proposed Trainingc ChancieWe are proposing that the scope of the Chemistry Technician job training that isneeded to support initial "on-shift" RP Technician functions be limited to thefollowing general RP support tasks:o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry A list of plant specific training to support these functions is provided in Attachment

3.3.0 BACKGROUND

The specific standard for establishing a shift emergency organization to respond toemergency events appears in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) which states, in part, "On-shift facility2 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously

defined, adequatestaffing to provide initial facility accident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times..."

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV, requires licensee emergency plans to contain,in part, the organization for coping with radiological emergencies and the activation ofthe emergency organization.

NUREG-0654 (Reference 6.2),Section II.B, "Onsite Emergency Organization,"

presentsguidance for meeting these requirements.

The guidance describes the onsiteemergency organization, including the staffing requirements found in Table B-I,"Minimum Staffing Requirements for NRC Licensees for Nuclear Power PlantEmergencies."

This table specifies a minimum of ten on-shift responders in four MajorFunctional Areas. It also specifies seven on-shift response tasks where the duties maybe performed by shift personnel who are assigned other tasks (i.e., there are nodedicated responders to perform these tasks). -The on-shift staff must be able to cope with a spectrum of events until augmenting EROpersonnel arrive in accordance with the site's emergency plan commitments.

Theaugmenting ERO responders assume many managerial, engineering, andadministrative duties from the on-shift personnel, allowing on-shift personnel to focusmore fully on plant operations.

NUREG-0654 guidance recommends that there be, inaddition to on-shift personnel, 30 and 60-minute responders.

On November 23, 2011, the NRC published a final rule in the Federal Registeramending certain' emergency preparedness (EP) requirements in its regulations thatgovern domestic licensing of production and utilization facilities (Reference 6.5). Thisfinal rule amended 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A, "Organization,"

toaddress the assignment of tasks or responsibilities to on-shift ERO personnel that couldpotentially overburden them and prevent the timely performance of their emergency plan functions.

Specifically,Section IV.A.9 states that licensees shall perform "... adetailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan."Coincident with the rule change in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the NRCissued NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants" (Reference 6.6). This Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) provides information relevant to performing the on-shift staffing analysis.

The ISG states that the NuclearEnergy Institute (NEI) developed the document NEI 10-05, "Assessment of On-ShiftEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities,"

to establish a standardmethodology for a licensee to perform the required staffing

analysis, and that the NRCreviewed NEI 10-05 and found it to be an acceptable methodology for this purpose.The ISG also indicates that the completed staffing analyses are required to be part ofthe emergency plan and the results documented and submitted to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(5).

3 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.0014.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS4.1 Pilgrim-Specific Background Information The Pilgrim SEP (Rev 0) was originally issued in 1983. The SEP Table B-I plantstaffing figure, indicated that one (1) "on-shift" RP Technician and one (1) "on-shift" 1Chemistry Technician would be available for ERO response to support in-plant surveysand radio chemistry tasks under the Radiological Accident Assessment functional area.The SEP Table B-I was updated in 1990 (rev 10) and indicated a staff change from one(1) to two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians in the Accident Assessment Support functional area. The purpose of the revision was identified as an editorial table change to creditthe additional RP Technician that was listed in the Protective Action(s)

(in Plant)functional area of the table and "to better reflect the format" of NUREG 0654. This SEPrevision was submitted to the NRC (Reference 6.7).In a letter dated July 14, 2006 (Reference 6.1), Entergy proposed to the NRC Staff tosubstitute the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician for the second "on-shift" RP Technician tohandleERO responsibilities during the first thirty (30) minutes of an event. As part ofthat proposal, Entergy stated that PNPS would (1) provide additional training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician(s);

and (2) remove the second "on-shift" RP Technician from the shift when appropriate training was provided for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians.

This prior SEP submittal supported the removal of one (1) of two (2) "on-shift" RP Technicians listed in SEP, Table B-I, "Minimum Staffing Requirements for theEmergency Response Organization."

This Table B-i change was consistent with ouroriginal 1983 SEP and the guidance contained in NUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-I.,

Rev. 1,dated November 1980 (Reference 6.2).In a letter dated February 5, 2007 (Reference 6.4), the NRC Staff responded to our July14, 2006 request.

The letter stated "The NRC staff has concluded that incorporation ofthe proposed changes do not decrease the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Planand the plan, as changed, continues to meet the standards of Section 50.47(b) and therequirements of Appendix E to Title 10 Part 50 of the Code of federal Regulations.

Thebasis for our conclusion is contained in the enclosed safety evaluation.

In light of theabove, no NRC approval is necessary."

On the top of Page 3, the NRC Staff's SErestates the conclusion that the incorporation of the proposed changes do not decreasethe effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan and the plan, as changed, continues tomeet standards of Section 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.At Pilgrim Station since 2007, an on-shift Chemistry Technician supplements the on-shift Radiation Protection (RP) Technician in fulfilling the RP duties of the ERO duringthe early phase of ERO activation.

Four (4) additional RP Technicians are currently required to report to the site within 30 minutes, with the addition of four (4) more RPTechnicians reporting to the site in 60 minutes.

These additional RP Technicians provide support roles in the ERO Accident Assessment functional area after the first 304 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001minutes.

In Reference 6.1, Entergy outlined to the NRC Staff the specific training to beprovided to the Chemistry Technicians to support their fulfillment of the RP role for theearly phase of ERG activation.

Recently, Entergy discovered we were not providing the in-depth training for the on-shiftChemistry Technicians as documented in our letter dated July 14, 2006. A condition report was written and immediate actions were taken to address the issue. Specifically, a second RP Technician was added to each shift to restore the staffing levels that weredefined prior to F'ebruary 5, 2007 Table B-I revision.

Subsequently, Entergy has determined we could provide a reduced scope of RPtraining for the on-shift Chemistry Technicians from that previously proposed in our2006 ERG submittal.

The reduction in training is supported by the 2012 SEP On-shiftStaffing An alysis (GSA) which is provided in Attachment 4 (Reference 6.3). The OSAevaluated the on-shift ERG staff positions and verified that assigned personnel cancomplete required ERG functions/tasks in a timely manner; The GSA does not rely onthe on-shift Chemistry Technician to perform the required ERG functions/tasks specifically assigned to the on-shift RP Technician.

Entergy is proposing to reduce the level of training provided to the "on-shift" Chemistry Technicians who may be relied on to perform an initial ERG RP Technician supportrole.*The scope of training proposed in 2006 is documented in Reference 6.1 andsummarized in Attachment 3.*The scope of training proposed in 2016 is identified in Attachment 3 and involvestraining in the following specific task areas.o Perform on-site radiation surveyso Perform on-site contamination surveyso Set up the Operations Support Center (RP Technician work area)o Issue dosimetry This revised training scope is consistent with the responsibilities and actions that wouldbe required of the on-shift Chemistry Technician during the first 30 minutes of an ERGevent consistent with the Gn-shift Staffing Analysis.

4.2 Analysis of Reduced ERG Training Requirements for the "On-shift" Chemistry Technician The GSA provides the basis for a proposed reduction in on-site Chemistry Technician Training.

Section 2.14 of NEI 10-05 states "Although developed to meet therequirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9, the staffing assessment methodology may be used to evaluate proposed changes to on-shift staffing levels oraugmented ERG response times. For example, an analysis could be performed with adesired response time for the augmenting ERG (e.g., 90 minutes),

and the results thenused to support the basis for changing a staffing or augmentation time commitment."

5 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001The OSA indicates that the primary responsibility of the on-shift Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry sampling tasks were notedas being time critical in the first 90 minutes of~any of the analyzed events. As such, theChemistry Technician is available to assist the RP Technician in performance ofdirected RP task work in the Operations Accident Assessment or Protective Actionfunctional areas as determined appropriate by the Shift Manager.The OSA has ensured that the PNPS ERO team members can accomplish the requiredmission in the first 90 minutes of ERO activation with the staffing and training of on-shiftstaff members proposed herein. The OSA assumed that the RP and Chemistry Technicians are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.

TheOSA does not credit additional RP training for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician inorder to ensure that the "on-shift" RP Technician can complete assigned emergency plan functions in a timely manner. As such, assignment of any additional RP training tothe "on-shift" Chemistry Technician is not necessary and is considered to be anenhancement to the overall ERO organization.

The OSA is included in this submittal as Attachment

4. Based on the OSA, theproposed reduction in "on-shift Chemistry Technician training is acceptable and doesnot adversely affect the effectiveness of the PNPS Emergency Plan or the ability ofassigned on-shift personnel to perform their assigned functions.

5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW5.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The regulatory standards, requirements and guidance involving ERO staffing andaugmentation are as follows:,

  • 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2)

-On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously

defined, adequate staffing to provide initial facilityaccident response in key functional areas is maintained at all times, timelyaugmentation of response capabilities is available and the interfaces amongvarious onsite response activities and offsite support and response activities arespecified.
  • 10 CFR 50, Appendix E,Section IV.A (in part) -The organization for coping withradiological emergencies shall be described, including definition of authorities, responsibilities, and duties of individuals assigned to the licensee's emergency organization and the means for notification of such individuals in the event of anemergency.

Revision 5, Section C, stated in part"The criteria and recommendations in this regulatory guide are methods that the6 Attachment 1Ito PNPS Letter 2.16.001NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the requirements in AppendixE to 10 CFR Part 50 and the planning standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) that must be*met in onsite and offsite emergency response plans. These criteria provide abasis for NRC licensees and State and local governments to develop acceptable radiological emergency plans and improve emergency preparedness."

In NUREG-0654,Section II, "Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria,"

Evaluation Criteria ll.B.1 and ll.B.5 address the 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) planning standard.

Evaluation Criteria ll.B. 1 specifies the on-site emergency organization of plant staff personnel forall shifts, and its relation to the responsibilities and duties of the normal shiftcomplement.

Evaluation Criteria l1.B.5 states, in part, that:Each licensee shall specify the positions or title and major tasks to be performed by the persons to be assigned to the functional areas of emergency activity.

Foremergency situations, specific assignments shall be made for all shifts and forplant staff members, both onsite and away from the site. These assignments shall cover the emergency functions in Table B-1 entitled, "Minimum StaffingRequirements for Nuclear Power Plant Emergencies."

Regulatory Guide 1.219, "Guidance on Making Changes to Emergency Plans forNuclear Power Reactors,"

November 2011, describes a method that the NRC considers to be acceptable to implement the requirements in 10 CFR 50.54(q).

In SectionC.2.a.(2),

the NRC encourages licensees to arrange a conference call with the NRCstaff to clarify 10 CFR 50.54(q) requirements and guidance within this regulatory guidefor EP changes to ERO staffing that reduce the licensee's capability to staff positions.

Entergy completed and issued an OSA to satisfy the requirements in 10 CFR 50,Appendix E,Section IV.A.9 and standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2).

The OSA wasperformed using the guidance in NEI 10-05, which has been reviewed by the NRC andfound to be an acceptable methodology to satisfy the regulatory requirement.

As aresult of the OSA, Revision 44 of the SEP increased the minimum on-shift staffing levelto fourteen (14). There were no changes implemented to revise the current on-shift RPand Chemistry Technician staffing listed in Table B-I. The OSA was conducted assuming a response time of 90 minutes for the augmented ERO to allow the use of thisanalysis for a possible future extension in ERO augmentation times as addressed inSection 2.14 of NEI 10-05. No specific emergency response tasks requiring theaugmented ERO were identified in the OSA prior to the 90-minute period following theemergency declaration.

Based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the healthand safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner,(2) such activities will continue to be conducted in accordance with the site licensing basis, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the health andsafety of the public.7 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001In conclusion, Entergy has determined that the proposed training requirement changedoes not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements, and does notaffect conformance with any regulatory requirements or criteria.

5.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Entergy has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involvedwith the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment,"

as discussed below:1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No.The proposed training requirements change has no effect on normal plant operation or on any accident initiator.

The change affects the response to radiological emergencies addressed in the SEP. The ability of the emergency responseorganization to respond adequately to radiological emergencies has been evaluated.

Changes in the training provided to the on-shift organization, such as thereassignment of key on-shift emergency personnel to perform related RP functions, provide assurance of an effective emergency response without competing orconflicting duties. An analysis was also performed on the effect of the proposedchange on the timeliness of performing major tasks for the major functional areas ofthe SEP. The analysis concluded that the reduction in training requirements for the"on-shift" Chemistry Technician to support the initial RP support tasks does not affectthe ability to perform the required RP Technician or Chemistry Technician tasks.Therefore, the change in ERG staff training does not increase the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No.The proposed change affects the training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician and for supplementing onsite personnel in response to a radiological emergency.

It has been evaluated and determined not to significantly affect the abilityto perform required or related functions.

It has no effect on the plant design or on thenormal operation of the plant and does not affect how the plant is physically operatedunder emergency conditions.

The reduction in ERG training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician in the SEP does not affect the plant operating procedures which are performed by plant staff during all plant conditions.

8 Attachment I to PNPS Letter 2.16.001No new or different accidents are postulated to occur and there are no changes inany of the accidents previously evaluated.

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:

No.The proposed change does not affect plant design or method of operation.

10 CFR 50.47 (b) and 10 CFR 50 Appendix E establish emergency planningstandards and requirements that require adequate

staffing, satisfactory performance of key functional areas and critical tasks, and timely augmentation of the responsecapability.

Since the SEP was originally developed, there have been improvements inthe technology used to support the SEP functions and in the capabilities of onsitepersonnel.

A functional analysis was performed on the effect of the proposed changeon the timeliness of performing major tasks for the functional areas of the SEP. Theanalysis concluded that a reduction in training requirements for the "on-shift" Chemistry Technician would not significantly affect the ability to perform the requiredSEP tasks. Thus, the proposed change has been determined not to adversely affectthe ability to meet the emergency planning standards as described in 10 CER 50.47(b) and requirements in 10 CFR 50 Appendix E.The proposed ERO staff training change does not involve a reduction in any marginof safety. The proposed change is consistent with the original and current EROstaffing levels implemented at PNPS.Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed amendment presents nosignificant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),

and,accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.Environmental Consideration The proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) anychanges in the types or any increase in the amounts of any effluent that may bereleased

offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51 .22(c)(9).

Therefore, pursuant to 10CFR 51.22(b),

no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needsto be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

This analysis examined the capability of the minimum staff listed in TableB-i of the PNPS Emergency Plan (E-Plan) to perform the actions for the key functional areas of events described in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, until augmenting Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staff arrives in accordance with the E-plan.2. The OSA review team determined that an on-shift staff of fourteen (14) is required to respond to the most limiting accident scenario

reviewed, main control room fire andshutdown at the remote shutdown panel.3. NEI 10-05 staffing analysis of on-shift personnel to perform the required emergency planning functions and the licensing basis requirement for each on-shift position.

NEI 10-05recommends one (1) on-shift RP Technician and one (1) on-shift Chemistry Technician.

The PNPS SEP is consistent with the NEI guidance.

4. The primary responsibility for the Chemistry Technician is chemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry job tasks were noted as being time critical or requiredduring the first 90 minutes of any of the analyzed events.5. The 2012 OSA analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement to maintain continuous communications with the notification source during an aircraft threatin accordance with 10CFR50.54(hh) and Reg. Guide 1.214. There are no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function is not required to be assigned inadvance.

The review of the Aircraft Threat Accident identified that there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action during the event, Specifically, a licensed or non-licensed nuclear plant operator, the rad protection technician, and chemistry technician were all available to fill this function.

6. Augmentation time for some ERO positions is 30 minutes.

The OSA analysis was completed for the 90 minute period since the emergency response facilities are required to beoperational in 60 minutes.

No credit was taken for current 30 minute responders.

Tasks for event response were reviewed for 90 minutes following the declaration.

No specificemergency response tasks requiring the augmented ERO were identified during the 90 minutes following the emergency declaration.

7. The 2012 OSA assumed individuals holding the position of RP technician or Chemistry technician are qualified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.

INTRODUCTION This report is the finai report for the On-shift Staffing Analysis (OSA) that commenced at PilgrimNuclear Power Station (PNPS) during the week of March 19 -22, 2012. This OSA satisfies therequirement of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Section IV.A.9, which states that nuclear power licensees shall perform "a detailed analysis demonstrating that on-shift personnel assigned emergency planimplementation functions are not assigned responsibilities that would prevent the timelyperformance of their assigned functions as specified in the emergency plan. "A structured approach was utilized to perform this analysis using the guidance found in NEI 10-05, Rev. 0,Assessment of On-Shift Emergency Response Organization Staffing and Capabilities.

Thisanalysis examined the capability of the minimum staff listed in Table B-I of the PNPS Emergency Plan (E-Plan) to perform the actions for the key functional areas of events described inNSIRIDPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, untilaugmenting Emergency Response Organization (ERO) staff arrives in accordance with the E-plan.I. ANALYSIS SUMMARYThe OSA team determined that an on-shift staff of fourteen (14) is required to respond to themost limiting accident scenario

reviewed, main control room fire and shutdown at the remoteshutdown panel. The on-shift staff consists of individuals necessary to support each of the E-Planfunctional areas or tasks:* Emergency Direction and Control* Plant Operations and Safe Shutdown (SSD)* Fire Fighting (FB)* Accident Assessment
  • Radiation Protection and Chemistry
  • Notification/Comnmunication
  • Technical Support* Accountability NEI 10-05 states it is acceptable for certain functions or tasks to be assigned to personnel already assigned other primary functions/tasks.

These include Repair and Corrective Action,Rescue Operations and First Aid.PNPS Page 4PNPSPage 4 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTA. Emergency Plan Minimum StaffingPer 10 CFR 50.54 (q)(1)(iii),

Emergency planning function means a capability or resourcenecessary to prepare for and respond to a radiological emergency, as set forth in theelements of section IV of Appendix E and, for nuclear power reactor licensees, theplanning standards of § 50.47(b).

The following table indicates the result of the NEI 10-05 staffing analysis of on-shift-personnel to perform the required emergency planning functions and the licensing basisrequirement for each on-shift position.

These on-shift members (e.g., NLO, Security) are available tosupport the Shift Manager, where qualified, in non-fire events.2SSD NLO can be filled by RO or SRO.3E-Plan Communicator can be replaced by SRO that is qualified for the task.4One of the 5 NLOs is a Radwaste OperatorPNPSPage 5 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTI-7B. Other Commitments to Shift StaffingNoneC. Staffing Exceptions and Time Motion Studies (TMS)1. The primary responsibility for the Chemistry Technician ischemistry/radiochemistry sampling; however no chemistry job tasks were notedas being time critical or required during the first 90 minutes of any of theanalyzed events. It is therefore acceptable to assign the Chemistry Technician the E-Plan function of dose assessment.

In addition, the RP Technician sharesthe responsibility for dose assessment.

It is recognized,

however, that the ShiftManager will prioritize and utilize the on-shift staff as needed for RP, Chemistry and dose assessment.

No further analysis or TMS is required.

2. The Shift Manager is assigned the responsibility to make some notifications perprocedure 1.3.12. The notifications by phone are considered communications that are approximately one minute in length and are acceptable tasks for the ShiftManager.

No further analysis or TMS is required.

3. The analysis included a review of the implementation of the requirement tomaintain continuous communications with the notification source during anaircraft threat in accordance with 10OCFR50.54(hh) and Reg. Guide 1.214. Thereare no specific qualifications required to perform this task and the function is notrequired to be assigned in advance.

The review of the Aircraft Threat Accidentidentified that there are sufficient personnel on-shift to perform this action duringthe event. Specifically, a licensed or non-licensed nuclear plant operator, the radprotection technician, and chemistry technician were all available to fill thisfunction.

No further analysis TMS is required.

4. A time motion study was completed for the Shift Manager action to perform thesafe shutdown actions to initiate a scram and close the MSIVs by manipulating RPS breakers and pulling fuses. The Shift Manager leaves the control room andpasses the equipment on the way to the Technical Support Center. The ShiftManager demonstrated the safe shutdown actions can be completed inapproximately six (6) minutes while maintaining emergency direction and controlthrough radio contact with other operators aligning safe shutdown equipment.

Details of the TMS are found in section VIII Appendix C.PNPS Page 6PNPSPage 6 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTD. Emergency Plan Tasks Not Analyzed:' 1. Repair and Corrective Action -Per the guidance of NUREG-0654, Table B-I,repair and corrective action tasks may be performed by dedicated shift personnel or qualified shift personnel assigned other functions/tasks.

Repair and corrective action is defined as:*An action that can be performed promptly to restore a non-functional component to functional status (e.g., resetting a breaker),

or to place acomponent in a desired configuration (e.g., open a valve), and which doesnot require work planning or implementation of lockout/tagout controls tocomplete.

In accordance with NEI 10-05 section 2.5, the analysis included a review of therepair and corrective action tasks. For the purpose of this analysis, the taskswere considered to fall into two broad categories:

  • Unplanned/unexpected actions that address equipment failures.

Theseactions are contingent in nature and cannot be specified in advance.* Planned/expected actions performed in support of operating procedure implementation, including severe accident management guidelines.

At PNPS, a Nuclear Plant Reactor Operator on shift will primarily be available tothe Shift Manager to perform actions to assist in controlling/mitigating the event.Initial corrective actions are contained in and controlled by plant operating procedures.

The Nuclear Plant Operators have been trained to perform specificactions within the Abnormal and Emergency Operating Procedures andmaintenance support is not required.

Maintenance is not included in the on-shiftstaff. Repair and Corrective Action is an acceptable collateral duty per theguidance of NEI 10-05 and was not analyzed2. Rescue Operations and First Aid: in accordance with NEI 10-05 section 2.6, theanalysis also included a review of rescue operations and first aid response.

Perthe guidance of NUREG-0654, Table B-i, rescue operations and first aid may beperformed by shift personnel assigned other functions/tasks.

The fire brigademembers (NLOs) are trained to perform rescue operations and are assigned thetask should the need arise. Additionally, select Security staff members aretrained to First Responder standards and meet the basic requirements to renderfirst aid and CPR. Should first aid be required during a hostile action securityevent, first aid actions will be performed after the security threat is neutralized and the site is secure. Rescue operations and first aid were not required in any ofthe accident scenarios reviewed.

Rescue operation and first aid are acceptable collateral duties per the guidance of NEI 10-05 and was not analyzed.

PNPS Page 7PNPSPage 7 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTIll. ANALYSIS PROCESSThis analysis was conducted by a joint team of corporate Emergency Preparedness (EP)personnel and station personnel from the Operations, Operations

Training, EP Training, Radiation Protection, Chemistry and Emergency Preparedness (EP) departments.

Additionally, personnel from Security provided input to the analysis when necessary.

The team members areidentified in Section Xl of this report.The emergency response to each event scenario was determined by conducting a tabletop of theevent using the emergency plan and procedures and the applicable department procedures suchas Operations emergency and abnormal operating procedures.

Each scenario was reviewed by the cross disciplinary team to determine what plant actions andemergency plan implementation actions were required based on plant procedures prior to staffaugmentation.

These actions were then compared to the minimum staffing for Emergency Planimplementation as described in the Emergency Plan Table B-I, ensuring that no actions wereassigned to staff members that conflicted with either their dedicated emergency plan role or theirdedicated operational role as appropriate.

In cases where multiple tasks were assigned to anindividual in their role, the team evaluated timing of the' tasks to ensure that they could beperformed by the individual in series within any specified time requirements.

The results of the analysis for each of the scenarios are included in Section VII, APPENDIX B -ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS.

Note that NSIR DPR-ISG-01 states that only DBA accidents "which would result in an emergency declaration" should be evaluated in the staffing assessment.

Each of PNPS DBA's were evaluated and classified according to its FSAR Chapter 14description.

If the accident description alone did not result in a classification, the projected accident EAB dose found in the ESAR was utilized to determine if an EAL threshold would beexceeded within the first 60 minutes using the Abnormal Rad Level EAL thresholds.

In caseswhere several projected dose rates were provided or release data was not detailed significantly todetermine an EAL, the assessment used the radiological consequences associated with therealistic case in accordance with NEI 10-05.PNPS Page 8PNPSPage 8 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTIV. ACCIDENT SCENARIOS A. Accident Selection

1. The OSA scenarios were chosen using the guidance of NE1 10-05 andNSIR/DPR-ISG-01, "interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for NuclearPower Plants."

The evaluation considered the station Design Basis Accidents (DBA) described in the FSAR along with additional scenarios specified by theguidance documents.

The scenarios considered were:* Design Basis Threat (DBT) ground assault* DBA Control Rod Drop Accident* DBA Loading Error Accident* DBA Loss of Coolant Accident* DBA Main Steam Line Break Accident* DBA Fuel Handling Accident* DBA Radwaste System Accident* Aircraft Probable Threat* Fire Requiring Evacuation of the Control Room and Plant ShutdownFrom Alternate

Location,
  • Station Blackout, (SBO)* LOCA/General Emergency with release and PARa LOCA with entry into Severe Accident Management
  • Fire Resulting in Reactor Trip (Appendix R fire)B. Accident Scenarios included in the Analysis1. Design Basis Threat as described in NE! 10-05* Land and/or waterborne Hostile Action directed against the Protected Area by a Hostile Force. This event assumes the threat is neutralized immediately when inside the protected area fence, no significant damageto equipment or systems that require corrective actions before the EROis staffed, no radiological
release, and no fire that requires firefighting response before the ERO is staffed2. Control Rod Drop Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.1* One control rod drops and reactor trips on APRM 120% flux scram.Credit is not taken for MSIV closure.

Release pathway is throughcondenser, turbine building then to environment.

EAL is based oncondenser release information in FSAR.3. Loss of Coolant Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.3* Double ended guillotine break of a recirculation line. All ECCS operate-as designed.

EAL is based on fission product barrier EALs.4. Main Steam Line Break Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.4* Break of one main steam line and followed by MSIV closure.

Release isto the atmosphere through the top of the turbine building (puff release).

PNPSPage 9 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTReactor coolant activity at TS limit. No EAL On the accident but on theUSAR EAB 2-hr dose.5. Fuel Handling Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.5* The accident involves a dropped fuel bundle on top of the core. InitialEAL is based on the event.6. Aircraft Probable Threat (50.54hh)

  • Notification is received from the NRC that a probable aircraft threat exists(>5 minutes,

<30 minutes)7. Control Room Fire and Alternate Shutdown* A fire occurs in the main control room requiring the evacuation and theprocedure implemented to perform shutdown from the alternate shutdown panels.8. Station Blackout* A loss of all offsite AC power occurs and the failure of the emergency diesel generators.

9. General Emergency with release and "PAR* Assume GE condition with dose projection indication of a release greaterthan the protective action guideline (PAG).C. Accident Scenarios Not Included in the Analysis1. Loading Error Accident as described in ESAR 14.1.5.2* Misloaded bundle in the core. No EAL condition is met.2. Radwaste System Accident as described in FSAR 14.5.6* No EAL condition is met.3. Implement SAMG* A review of the SAMGs associated with the initial site-specific Candidate High Level Actions concluded that no actions would require on-shiftpersonnel other than licensed and non-licensed operators.

No analysisrequired.

4. Appendix R Fire* Fire leading to reactor trip with complications.

The control room fire andalternate shutdown requires more resources and actions outside thecontrol room than this fire. The team concluded the control room firebounds the fire analysis.

No additional analysis required.

PNPS Page 10PNPSPage 10 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORTV. GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS A. Notes and Assumptions Applicable to Pilgrim OSA:1. The RP and Chemistry tasks reviewed were those directed by the Shift Managerto support actions in Abnormal Operating Procedures (AOP), Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP), and Emergency Implementing Procedures (EIP).Any additional tasks directed by the Technical Support Center (TSC), Operations Support Center (OSC), or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF') procedures werenot reviewed.

2. The augmentation time for some ERO positions is 30 minutes.

The analysis wascompleted for the 90 minute period since the emergency response facilities arerequired to be operational in 60 minutes.

No credit was taken for 30 minuteresponders.

Tasks for event response were reviewed for 90 minutes following thedeclaration.

No specific emergency response tasks requiring the augmented ERO were identified during the 90 minutes following the emergency declaration.

3. The OSA team determined there are no time critical RP and Chemistry tasks andthat task performance is directed and prioritized by the Shift Manager.

The timeRP or Chemistry is directed to perform a task and the amount of time taken tocomplete tasks are estimated.

No Chemistry samples are required by TechSpecs within the 90 minute period after a declaration.

Since the Shift Managerdirects when the tasks are performed, there are no overlapping RP or chemistry tasks.4. All crews have one individual filling the SM and one individual filling the STAroles therefore the analysis did not consider using a dual-role individual.

B. NEI 10-05 Assumptions

1. Response time used for this analysis was the maximum acceptable number ofminutes elapsed between emergency declaration and the augmented EROposition holder at a location necessary to relieve an on-shift position of theemergency response task. (60 mmn.)2. On-shift personnel complement was limited to the minimum required number andcomposition as described in the site emergency plan. If the plan commitments allow for different minimum staffing levels (e.g., a variance between a normaldayshift and a backshift),

use the staffing with the smallest total number ofpersonnel.

3. Although the temporary absence of a position may be allowed by Tech Specs,the analysis was performed assuming that all required on-shift positions arefilled.4. Event occurred during off-normal work hours where ERO was offsite and allrequired minimum on-shift positions were filled.5. On-shift personnel reported to their assigned response locations withintimeframes sufficient to allow for performance of assigned actions.PNPSPage 11 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORT6. On-shift staff has necessary Radiation Worker qualification to obtain normaldosimetry and enter the RCA (but not locked high or very high radiation areas)without the aid of a RP technician.
7. Personnel assigned plant operations and safe shutdown meets the requirements and guidance (analyzed through other programs such as operator training) andwas evaluated as part of this assessment unless a role/function/task fromanother major response area was assigned as collateral duty.8. In-plant (manual) safety related operator actions to manipulate components andequipment from locations outside the control room to achieve and maintain safeshutdown was done by a member of the on-shift staff as defined in the unit'sTech Specs.9. Fire brigade (FB) staff performance is analyzed through other station programs(e.g., fire drills) and was not evaluated as part of this assessment unless arole/function/task from another major response area was assigned as a collateral duty.10. Individuals holding the position of RP technician or Chemistry technician arequalified to perform the range of tasks expected of their position.
11. Security was not evaluated unless a role or function from another major responsearea was assigned as a collateral duty.12. Communications, briefings, and peer checks are acceptable collateral duties.13. All on-shift staff positions were evaluated, even if they had no known collateral duties, to ensure they can perform the tasks assigned to them. [Ref NSIRIDPR-ISG-01]14. The Staffing Analysis specified the resources available to perform "Repair andCorrective Actions" and "Rescue Operations and First Aid" but these may beassigned as collateral duty to a designated on-shift responder.
15. For assessment
purposes, NRC notifications were treated as a continuous actionper 10OCFR50.72(c)(3) and 73.71 (b)(1). This means once the initial NRCcommunications are established, the NRC will request an open line bemaintained with the NRC Operations Center.16. DBA (postulated
accident, Condition IV event, or limiting fault) is considered as"Unanticipated occurrences that are postulated for accident analysis purposesbut not expected to occur during the life of the plant. A postulated accident couldresult in sufficient damage to preclude resumption of plant operation.

As a result,a greater number and variety of actions would need to be implemented by plantpersonnel."

17. Unless otherwise specified in NSIR/DPR-ISG-01, Interim Staff Guidance

-Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, or by the FSAR initial conditions of a DBA analysis, it was assumed that the unit was in Mode 1, Power.PNPSPage 12 PNPS ON-SHIFT STAFFING ANALYSIS REPORT18. DBT assumed a hostile force breached the protected area fence but wasneutralized with no adverse consequen~ces to plant safety. Damage inflicted onplant systems, structures and components was not sufficient to prevent safeshutdown or cause a radiological release.

There was no fire significant enough towarrant firefighting efforts prior to arrival of offsite resources and/or theaugmented ERO.19. The Staffing Analysis used DBA analysis assumptions, inputs, and timing ofevents as documented in the FSAR.20. In cases where a DBA analysis included a radiological

release, and the startingpoint of the release was not clearly defined, the staffing analysis assumed thatthe release began at the time of declaration of the initiating event.21. Severe Accident Management Guideline (SAMG) -It is sufficient to simplyassume that the accident progressed to conditions requiring a severe accidentresponse; it is not necessary to determine specific failures and the accidentsequence.
22. SAMG -The actions to be analyzed include those that implement the initial site-specific actions assuming the core is no ex-vessel (i.e., no reactor vessel failure),

and there is not actual or imminent challenge to containment integrity.

  1. 2 -Control Rod Drop Accident1. Accident Summary* The control rod drop accident (CRDA) results from an assumed failure ofthe control rod-to-drive mechanism coupling after the control rod (veryreactive rod) becomes stuck in its fully inserted position.

It is assumedthat the control rod drive is then fully withdrawn before the stuck rod fallsout of the core. The control rod velocity

limiter, an engineered safeguard, limits the control rod drop velocity.

The resultant radioactive materialrelease is maintained far below the guideline values of 10OCFR50.67.

  • The worst case CRDA occurs during mechanical vacuum pumpoperation.

The mechanical vacuum pump trips and the radionuclides aretrapped in the condenser at atmospheric pressure to leak directly to theenvironment.

The condenser leakage scenario is bounding for PNPS.2. Accident Specific Assumptions Made* The FSAR assumes the MSIVs, MSL drains, and reactor water samplevalves remain open.* The OSA assumes a realistic case of an immediate release from thecondenser to the environment via the turbine building roof resulting in thecondenser leakage EAB dose.* The EAL is based on 1-hr (1/2) of the FSAR EAB dose.3.

  1. 6 -Fuel Handling Accident1. Accident Summary* The fuel handling accident is assumed to occur as a consequence of afailure of the fuel assembly lifting mechanism, resulting in the dropping ofa raised fuel assembly onto the core. The drop causes mechanical damage to the bundle being dropped.* The drywell and reactor building are open with ventilation running.

Allreleases to the environment are through the reactor building ventilation.

  • The drop of a fuel bundle in containment over the reactor pressurevessel bounds a drop of a fuel bundle in the fuel building due to thegreater drop height.2. Accident Specific Assumptions Made* Onsite personnel will be in accordance with the refuel outage staffingplan that includes additional SROs, ROs, NLOs, RP Techs, andMaintenance.

TASK DURATION 6 MiueRESULT:Explain why it is acceptable or not acceptable for the Shift Manager to perform the safe shutdowntasks:The procedure Subsequent Action step 13(a) states that the performance of the procedure is an Alertclassification and to activate the ERO per EP-IP-100 from the TSC. In step 13(e), the Shift Manager isassigned the tasks to initiate scram, EAL notifications, MSIV closure, and verify scram valve positions.

The Shift Manager passes the RPS panels to initiate the scram and close MSIVs when traveling to theTSC from the control room. The Shift Manager performs steps 16(a), 16(c), 16(d), and 16(g) which takeapproximately 6 minutes.

Verification of control rod position may be verified from the TSC using EPIC.The performance of the SSD steps does not delay the classification of the emergency and the ShiftManager is able to maintain emergency direction and control by communicating with the crew by radiowhile they are aligning the alternate shutdown panels. Therefore, performing the safe shutdown steps isan acceptable overlapping task.Task Performer Richard Probasco Shift Manager August 23, 2012Evaluators Stephen Reid Operations Training August 23, 2012Fred Guynn Fleet EP Project August 23, 2012S______________________
