Licensee Action No.2 under the General Emergency Classification has been revised to reflect PPRL's use of Protective Action Recommendations.

SECTION 6.0 ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES Section 6.0 Editorial changes to the description of the duties of the shift supervisor when acting as the Emergency Director as follows:~Item d.has been changed to show this responsibility as ensuring that plant personnel are notified rather than actually notifying them.~The title Plant Manager-Susquehanna has been changed to General Manager-Susquehanna.

The description under Phase III-Activation of Off-site NERO has been changed to reflect the practice of automatically staffing the EOF at the Alert Classification and automatic Activation at the Site Area or above classification.

Section 6.2.5 (e)and (j)Deleted reference to relief by the Dose Assessment Supervisor.

Sections 6.2 and 6.3 These sections have been changed to delete the specific listing of typical staff positions which fill emergency organization positions.

A statement has been added to the text as follows: FILES R36, A17-13 PLA-4915 Document Control Desk~All emergency response positions are staffed by personnel who have met the qualifications for the position as listed in the PP8cL Nuclear Department Minimum Qualifications and Training Manual" and the"Emergency Plan Training Matrix".Section 6.2.1 Editorial change.Added the word"state" preceding the word EOC.Section 6.3.1.1 Deleted reference to the Assistant Recovery Manager.If the recovery Manager is unable to perform their duties they will be succeeded by another qualified Recovery Manager.Section 6.3.1.1 (j)Editorial changes in the first sentence: From"send" to"When requested" and"risk counties" to"EOC's".Section 6.4.3 Text changed to reflect the response of federal agencies.Table 6.2 The last column heading has been changed from"As Soon As Possible" to"Available Within 90 Minutes".Under the Radiological Accident Assessment Bc Support of Operational Accident Assessment functional area the term"survey Team Personnel" has been replaced by"Health Physics Personnel".

Under the Radiological Accident Assessment Bc Support of Operational Accident Assessment functional area reference to Chemical Engineer, Radiochemistry radwaste Management and Decontamination available in the EOF has been deleted.These positions are not available initially in the EOF.Additionally, the number of Rad Assessment personnel shown as available in the EOF"within 90 minutes" has been changed.This change was inadvertently missed when the plan was revised to reflect the previously changed EOF organization.

These adjustments do not represent a new change to the EOF organization.

These classifications are Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.

Action level criteria are specified for determining and declaring each emergency classification.

Planning is coordinated with State and county agencies to ensure that this classification system is compatible with the system'used by those agencies.The system provides for notification of appropriate emergency response organizations and for implementation of actions immediately applicable to a specific condition.

Provisions are included for upgrading the classification level and the corresponding response in the event of a change in the emergency condition.

Recognition and action level criteria are based on readily available information such as Control Room instrumentation.

Immediate actions for response to conditions involving plant operating parameters, such as Technical Specification Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs), are detailed in the Plant Procedures.

The emergency classification system, initiating conditions, and bases for each initiating condition are defined in Table 5.1.This table demonstrates how an initiating condition leads directly to the appropriate emergency classification based on the magnitude of the event.In many cases, the proper classification is immediately, apparent Rom in-plant instrumentation.

In other cases, more extensive assessment is necessary to determine the applicable emergency classification.

Continuing reassessment is required to ensure that the classification is consistent with the conditions.

The emergency actions that will be taken for each of the four emergency classifications are shown in Table 5.2.5 1.1 Unusual Event Events within this classification represent abnormal plant conditions.

They do not, by themselves, constitute significant emergency conditions and have no oF-site radiological consequences.

Some of these events could, however, indicate a potential degradation in the level of plant safety and/or could escalate to a more severe condition if appropriate action is not taken.Conditions which constitute the Unusual Event classification are outlined in Table 5.1.The ED declares an Unusual Event as soon as it has been indicated and verified.All reasonable eForts are implemented to make this verification within 15 minutes of the initial indication of the event.The emergency actions that will be taken by PP&L and offsite agencies for an unusual event are listed in Table 5.2.In general the table states that the plant emergency management personnel and offsite agencies will be notified by plant staff if.an Unusual Event is declared.Plant staff will Rev.21, 04/94 5-1 request assistance as necessary to disseminate information, make critical decisions and handle the unusual event.5.1.2 Alert This classification is characterized by events which indicate an actual degradation of the level of plant safety.It requires response by the plant emergency organization, augmentation of on-site emergency resources, and constitutes the lowest level for which oF-site agency emergency response may be anticipated.

Conditions which constitute an Alert classification are outlined in Table 5.1.The ED declares an Alert as soon as the event has been indicated and verified.All reasonable eForts are implemented to make this verification within 15 minutes of the initial indication of the event.The emergency actions that will be taken by PP&L'nd offsite agencies for an Alert are listeb in Table 5.2.In general the actions will be similar to an Unusual Event but will also include the dispatch of monitoring teams if a radioactive release is involved.5 1 3 ite Area Emer enc A Site Area Emergency is characterized by events involving actual or probable major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public.Most events within this classification constitute actual or potential for significant releases of radioactive material to the environment.

Although emergency actions involving members of the public may not be necessary, oF-site emergency response organizations should be mobilized and ready to implement protective measures.Conditions which constitute a Site Area-Emergency are outlined in Table 5.1.The ED declares a Site Area Emergency as soon as the event has been indicated and verified;this verification time is not expected to exceed 15 minutes.The emergency actions taken by PP&L and oFsite agencies for a Site Area Emergency are listed in Table 5.2.In general the actions will be similar to the actions taken for an Alert with increased emphasis on information dissemination, more senior technical and management stafF on-site and additional field radiological monitoring.

514 neralEm r enc This emergency class is characterized by events, occurring or having occurred, which involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity and/or release of large quantities of radioactive material to the environment.

Total activation of the on-site and off-'site emergency organizations is required for such events.Actions involving oF-site populations are probable.Rev.21, 04/94 5-2 C Conditions which constitute a General Emergency are outlined in Table 5.1.The ED or Recovery Manager declares a General Emergency as soon as an event or combination of events within-this category is indicated and verified.For indications based on radiological e61uents, the verification time does not exceed 15 minutes.For less apparent indications, the ED or Recovery Manager ensures that an appropriate Alert or Site Area Emergency is in effect and determines the applicability of a General Emergency as soon as possible.The emergency actions taken by PP&L and ofFsite agencies for a General Emergency are listed in Table 5.2.In general the actions will be similar to the actions taken for a Site Area Emergency with additional resources dedicated to the health and safety of the general public.Additional actions include the initiation of predetermined protective actions for the public.52 PE TR FP S ATEDA IDENT The classification and corresponding protective actions relative to significant emergency conditions are based primarily on the resultant or potential radiation doses.Methods are described in this Plan and in EP-PSs for measuring, projecting and evaluating those doses.The discrete accidents addressed in this section are those which are defined in the SSES FSAR as"design basis accidents".

The following discussion of these postulated accidents and Table 5.1 identify the instrumentation and other mechanisms for prompt detection and continued assessment, and demonstrates how each accident is encompassed within the emergency classification system of this Plan.I'2 1 Control Rod Dro Accident This accident is postulated to occur with the reactor in hot startup condition, and very conservative calculations indicate failure of about 770 fuel rods.The main steam line radiation monitors detect the significant increase in activity and initiate closure of the main steam isolation valves (MSIV).Valve closure is completed in about 5.5 seconds.During that time interval, noble gases and radioiodines are transported with the steam to the condenser.

Release of radioactivity to the environment is by way of leakage from the turbine building.Initial assessment of this accident, performed by the Plant Control Operator under the direction of the ED includes evaluation of the source term.Data are direct radiation levels at the locations of various turbine building ARMs, and an indication of the airborne radioactivity concentration from the turbine building/radwaste building vent exhaust monitor.EP-PSs provide guidance for dose projections based on the turbine building source term.Data from the continuous air monitors is supplemented by information obtained by the radiological monitoring team.For doses in the range of the maximum estimates shown in Table 15.4-15 of the FSAR, the emergency actions include: a)Declare an Alert b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation Rev.21, 04/94 5-3 5 2.2 Fuel Handlin This accident is-postulated to occur with the reactor in shutdown condition with the vessel head removed, and results in failure of about 124 fuel rods.The, reactor building ventilation radiation monitoring system alarms, isolates the ventilation system, and starts operation of the Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS), all within about one minute.Noble gases and radioiodines are released to the reactor coolant, migrate to the secondary containment, and are released to the environment after filtration through the SGTS.Initial assessment of this accident includes the performance of dose projections in accordance with EP-PSs.Dose projections utilize data from the reactor building vent monitor, standby gas treatment vent monitor, and meteorological instrumentation.

In the event that projected doses are in the range of the maximum estimate shown in Table 15.7-16 of the FSAR, the emergency actions include: a)Declare either an Alert or a Site Area Emergency b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation c)Consider Implementation of a Site Evacuation 5.2.3 Main Steam Break This accident is postulated to occur with the reactor in operating status.The steam line break occurs outside the containment and releases steam for a period of about 5.5 seconds, until complete closure of the MSIVs.Noble gases and radioiodines in the coolant are assumed to be"released directly to the environment.

Due to the short duration and the direct release to the environment, there is no feasible mechanism to monitor the actual release.However, an estimate of the resultant doses can be made and compared to those shown in Table 15.6-9 of the FSAR for worst case conditions.

Actual doses are proportional to the fission product activity in the steam, as monitored by the oF-gas'release rate, prior to the accident.The doses in Table 15.6-9 of the FSAR are based on the assumption that the ofF-gas release rate is at the upper limiting condition for operation.

Actual dose estimates, and corresponding emergency actions, may be taken, based on the off-gas release rate prior to the accident.Consideration may also be given to the relative benefit from taking or not taking specific protective action, based on the short-term duration of exposure associated with this accident.Emergency actions for worst case conditions include: a)Declare either an Alert or a Site Area Emergency b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation Rev.21, 04/94 5-4 5.2 4 Instrument Line Break.This accident is.postulated to occur with the reactor in operating status.A small line connected to the primary c'oolant system ruptures at a location which is outside the drywell, but inside the secondary containment.

Noble gases and radioiodines are released for about ten minutes prior to shutdown of normal ventilation and initiation of the SGTS.Operator recognition of the accident is by a combination of alarms or abnormal readings from: area radiation monitors, ventilation and process radiation monitors, temperature monitors, and leak detection systems.Emergency actions in response to the dose estimates shown in Table 15.6-4 of the FSAR include: a)Declare an Alert b)Implement Radiologically, Controlled Area Evacuation 5 2 5 Loss f plant Accident OCA This accident is postulated to involve a complete circumferential break of a recirculating loop pipe inside the primary containment, with the reactor operating at full power.The accident results in release of a significant quantity of fission products into the primary containment, leakage into the secondary containment, and release to the environment through the SGTS.Containment failure, although not likely, must be considered possible.The occurrence of a design basis LOCA is uniquely identified by low-low reactor water level and high dtywell pressure signals from the reactor protection system sensors and high radiation signal from the containment accident radiation monitor(s).

The signals result in reactor scram and MSIV closure within 5.5 seconds.Operation of the emergency core cooling system is.initiated within about 30 seconds.The emergency actions in response to design basis LOCA dose estimates in Tables 15.6-18 and 15.6-19 of the FSAR: a)Declare a Site Area Emergency b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation 5 2 6 fF-Treatment stem Failure This accident is postulated to be initiated by an occurrence such as earthquake (greater than SSE design basis), explosion, or fire.The accident results in release of the stored inventory of noble gas in the system including that contained in the charcoal adsorption beds.In addition to recognition of the initiating event, the operator is provided with recognition and assessment information from alarmed instrumentation such as ARMs, off-gas system loss of flow, and vent release activity.Rev.21, 04/94 5-5 Emergency actions based on the maximum estimated doses shown in Table 15.7-'4 of the FSAR include: a)Declare a Site Area Emergency b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation 5.2.7 Air E'ector Line Failure This accident is postulated to result&om a seismic event (greater than SSE)which is more severe than the'design basis of the system.The noble gas and radioiodine activity from the air ejector, which is normally processed by the ofF-gas treatment system, is discharged to the environment via the turbine building ventilation system.The accident is recognized by the sounding of the off-gas system loss of flow alarm and ARMs.Assessment of the severity includes evaluation of the oF-gas activity release rate prior to the accident and results of on-site monitoring.

Emergency actions, based on the estimated doses shown in Table 15.7-7 of the FSAR include: a)Declare an Alert b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation 5 2.8 Li uid Radwas e Failure This accident is postulated to be rupture of a concentrates waste tank in the radwaste enclosure.

Airborne radioactivity released during the accident passes directly to the environment via the turbine/radwaste building vent.A high water level alarm on the radwaste building sump alarms and activates the sump pumps.Radwaste building ARMs and on-site monitoring provides data for assessing the magnitude of the radiological consequences.

Emergency'actions, based on the maximum estimated doses shown in Table 15.7-10 of the FSAR, include: a)Declare an Alert b)Implement Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation

IONAL CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES, J'PPAL's Emergency Plan is based upon a four phase approach to accident response and mitigation.

n~(Reference Figure 6.3 and Table 6.1).Phase I consists of identification of the emergency condition.

initiation of prompt'corrective action and initiation of prompt notification to local, state and federal agencies as well as appropriate members of PP8.L's NERO.This initial phase is implemented by the on-shift organization.

The on-shift organization has been staffed and trained to be capable of both safely operating the unit and quickly and effectively responding to an emergency condition.

Initially, the Shift Supervisor, the highest ranking management individual on-shift, will assume the role of ED.The Shift Supervisor, as ED: a)Classifies the condition.

b)Initiates corrective actions and coordinates emergency management activities.

c)Designates a communications coordinator to notify off-site agencies and initiate call-in of selected personnel.

d)Notifies plant.personnel over the PA system for accountability and/or evacuation.

e)Designates an OSC Coordinator who organizes and directs in-plant emergency team functions.

'f)Notifies the Plant Manager-Susquehanna SES or his designated alternate, informs him of the situation, and requests relief if appropriate.

For conditions under an Unusual Event the Shift Supervisor is likely to remain as ED through termination of the condition, due to probable short duration or low severity of the event.g)Ensures that on-site emergency response individu'als and groups are notified, using the PA system or direct communications.

Depending on the nature and severity of the condition, TSC staffing niay be called out.')Ensures, that.initial dose projections are done and makes resulting recommendations regarding off-site protective actions.i)Ensures that off-duty station personnel are notified to assist as necessary with emergency activities.

These notifications are made, via the radio'paging system or by telephone backup, to individuals designated for off-duty availability status to fill key emergency'esponse positions.

Those key positions are ideritified in Sections 6.2 and 6.3.Other ofF-duty personnel are called in as required.'Rev.25, 11/96 6-1 I, C I Upon activation of Phas6 II, additional personnel are available, and control and dissemination of in-plant teams shifts from the OSC to the TSC.1-(Reference Figure 6.3 and Table 6.2)Upon notification by the on-shift organization, the Plant Manager-Susquehanna SES or his designated alternate, reports to the site to assume the role of ED.Support coordinators and staffs in areas of technical assessment, radiological assessment and operational coordination also report to,the site.These individuals form'the nucleus of the ED's Team and activate the TSC.The TSC is fully functional within 30 to 60 minutes of initial notification.

As the Plant Manager-Susquehanna SES and his support coordinator's arrive, they are briefed by the Shift Supervisor and then, in turn, assume responsibility from the Shift Supervisor for.their particular areas of expertise.

Emergency management activities, including communications, are under the control of the Emergency Director or his designated alternate; dose projection and assessment activities are directed by the Radiation Protection Coordinator; technical expertise is directed by the Tech Support Coordinator, the Operations Coordinator oversees Operations activities and the Damage Control'eam Coordinator oversees in-plant damage control actions.The TSC takes over all emergency management and support activities

&om the on-'shift organization,&eeing'them to'evote their efforts towards establishing and maintaining the plant in a safe, stable condition, h (Reference Figure 6.2 and Table 6.2)..This'rganization staffs the Emergency Operations Facility to provide in-depth technical and off-site radiological assessment.

I The Emergency Ope'rations Facility is activated automatically<at an Alert or higher emergency classification.'pon activation of the Emergency Operations Facility, personnel shall, report to the EOF and.be prepared to take over management of the emergency from the TSC at a Site Area.Emergency or higher classification.

When the initial emergency classification is a Site Area Emergency or higher, the EOF will take over the management of the emergency within 90 minutes of'the declaration of a Site Area Emergency.

At the discretion

'of the Emergency Director or Recovery Manager, the EOF can be activated and take over management of the emergency earlier.Functional operation will include:~Management of overall emergency response~Coordination of radiological and environmental assessment

~Determination of recommended protective actions'~Coordination of emergency response activities with~Federal,=

State, local county'nd'unicipal agencies'This phase leads ultimately to the return to'service of the unit.The organizational and philosophical concepts that are utilized during this phase are highly dependent upon the nature of the emergency." The restoration phase does not begin until there is complete Rev.25, 11/96 6-2 assurance that the plant is in a stable shutdown condition and that there are no inadvertent or unplanned significant release of radioactivity to the environment.

The normal Operating Organization during working hours is illustrated in Figure 6.1.Minimum shift response during off-hours is as follows: 1 Shift Supervisor (SRO)1*Unit Supervisor (SRO)1 Assistant Unit Supervisor (SRO/RO)2~Plant Control Operators (RO)2~Nuclear Plant Operators 1*Auxiliary System Operator 1 Shift Technical Advisor 1*Health'Physics Technician 1 Chemistry Technician 1 Security Shift Supervisor 1 Assistant Security Shift Supervisor 8 Security Officers*perunit The Shift Supervisor assumes the role of ED until he is relieved by the Plant Manager-Susquehanna SES, or his designated alternate.

Typical alternate is the Manager-Nuclear Maintenance.

When the TSC is activated, and the Shift Supervisor is relieved, the Shift Supervisor reassumes responsibility for plant operating functions in the control room., The Shift Supervisor ensures that the Plant Manager-Susquehanna SES, or designated alternate, is promptly notified of an emergency condition.

The ED assumes full responsibility for the implementation and administration of the Emergency Plan and is responsible for assuring continuity of resources until he relinquishes those responsibilities to the Recovery Manager.The responsibility and authority of the ED are set forth in Appendix E.The ED cannot relinquish any of the above responsibilities until the arrival of and assumption of responsibilities by the Recovery Manager at the EOF;At that time, he may relinquish any of the above responsibilities

~gag those related to maintaining the Unit in a safe shutdown condition with adequate core cooling and no uncontrolled radioactive material releases.Rev.25, 11/96 6-3 1~, lf the ED, cannot performthis function during the emergency, he will be succeeded by the Operations Coordinator until another qualified Emergency Director arrives to, assume this'esponsibility.

, Functional responsibilities of the ED include: a)Immediately upon notification of an existing or potential emergency, report to the Control Room and initiate assessment activities, including classification of the emergency and dose projections if appropriate.

r b)Unilaterally implement the immediate on-site corrective and protective actions to bring the incident under'control and mitigate its effects.c)Assure that appropriate notifications and recommendations to state and local agencies are made within 15'minutes.

d)Assure that appropriate notifications and recommendations to the-NRC are made immediately after notification to state and local agencies, but not later than one hour after declaration of an emergency classification.

e)Augment the on-site NERO with duty roster personnel and other available station staff members as dictated by the emergency condition.

The occurrence of-an Unusual Event is recognized by instrument alarms or indications, surveillance results, or other observation of an off-normal condition by an individual at the station.Assessment actions are described below.For an Unusual Event, one or more of the actions listed below will be initiated; for higher emergency classifications, actions are continued, intensified, and increased in'frequency'.

l~Perform surveillance of in-plant instrumentation.

~Initial and continued observation of off-normal.

~Obtain assistance from off-duty personnel and/or off-site support groups.Perform dose calculation activities.

Correlate with field team data.,~Deploy field radiological monitoring teams to perform direct radiation measurements and air sampling.~Perform sampliiig and analysi.of environmental media.~Deploy on-site damage control'teams.

~Perform reactor coolant sampling and analysis.The ED is responsible for initiating off-site dose calculation and assessment activities.

These activities are performed by health physics technicians who report to the control room.Data&om the vent eQluent monitors and the meteorological towers serve as inputs for the off-site dose calculation methods.The ED is'responsible for calling in personnel to the TSC to perform off-site dose assessment activities.

The Radiation Protection Coordinator-reports to the TSC within 30-60 minutes of notification.

Rev.25, 11/96 7-1 Field monitoring teams are directed to selected monitoring location(s) by the Radiation Protection Coordinator, Dose Assessment Supervisor, Dose Assessment Staffer, or Field Team, Director via radio communication.

The results of the teams'urveys are used to update projected'oses and dose calculational assumptions.

This process is reiterated through the duration o f the release in order to maintain an updated status of dose rates and accumulated dose within the=pathway of the plume.The initial field monitoring team(s)are staffed as required within 30-60 minutes.Additional team(s)are dispatched within one to four hours.Each radiological-monitoring team is supplied with a survey meter and low volume air sampler.TLDs are located at 19 sites around the station to provide early information on accumulated off-site doses.Two sets of TLDs are provided at each of these sites;one set for very early collection/exchange and readout and one set for dose accumulation during the period of release.The ED and Recovery Manager recommend appropriate protective actions to PEMA Operations Center, Harrisburg, based upon the results of the off-site dose assessment activities.

The SSES on-site meteorological measurement system is based upon an on-site 300'rimary meteorological tower located to the east southeast of the station.The primary tower provides measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and wind variability at its 10 and,60-meter levels, temperature differential between the 10 and 60-meter levels, and ambient temperature and dew'oint at the 10-meter level.Precipitation is measured at ground level.In case of primary tower failure, a 10-meter on-site backup meteorological tower will provide measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and wind variability.

In 1985, two permanent supplemental towers were installed in the river valley near.the station to provide additional meteorological data to more accurately model the effects of surrounding terrain on atmospheric dispersion and transport.

One tower is located UPRIVER approximately 1.2 miles NNE, of the station off Route 11 towards Shickshinny; the second tower is located DOWNRIVER approximately 3.6 miles SW of the station off Route 93 just east of Nescopeck.

Both the UPRIVER and DOWNRIVER towers measure wind speed, wind direction, and sigma theta at the 33 foot level.The DOWNRIVER tower also measures temperature and dew-point temperature at a height of approximately 6.6 feet.Meteorological validation of the UPRIVER supplemental tower data was terminated on October ,,1, 1994 due to excessive tree and vegetation growth impacting the wind speed and wind direction sensors.The meteorological data collected Rom the DOWNIUVER tower is used.only to support assessment and restoration efforts in the'event there is an accidental release of radioactive material from SSES.The meteorological systems are instrumented to provide continuous data to the control room and to the Unit One PCS and Unit Two PICSY for utilization in the TSC and EOF., Data which enter Rev.25, 11/96'-2 1 the Unit One PCS and Unit Two PICSY are viewable through various display formats and are also transmitted to the NRC via ERDS.Digital dataloggers are present at all of the SSES meteorological towers.All data is stored locally and is available for acquisition by interrogation across telephone lines.Primary and backup tower strip chart recorders are located in'the control room.II Site specific, meteorological information for emergency dose assessment purposes can be obtained by contacting either the SSES Contract Meteorologist or the National Weather Service Station using the phone numbers provided-in the SSES Emergency Telephone Directory.

\In the event of an unplanned'adioactive release&om either the reactor building vents, the turbine building vents.or the standby gas treatment vent;gross noble gas, I-131, and gross particulate readings are available from the System Particulate Iodine Noble Gas (SPING)vent monitors.The following Health Physics considerations are taken into account: selection of the accident type to closely approximate the isotopic mix and average gamma energies of the release occurring, radioactive decay from time of reactor shutdown, plume decay-in-transit and iodine and particulate depletion due to precipitation.

A dose calculation model is used to make current, site specific estimates and predictions of atmospheric eQluent transport and diffusion during and immediately following ah accidental airborne radioactivity release.The purpose.of the prediction is'o provide an input to the assessment of the consequences of accidental radioactive releases to the atmosphere and to aid in the implementation of emergency response decisions.

r The dose calculation model used is a fast running, time-dependent, variable trajectory'plume segment"B" model with the following capabilities:

I NOTE: A class."B" model js a numerical model which represents the actual spatial and temporal variations of plume distribution,'Computes atmospheric dispersion at the site based on atmospheric stability as a function of site specific terrain conditions with 15-minute upgrades of source term and meteorological conditions.

Provides estimates of deposition and relative concentration of radioactivity within the plume exposure and ingestion EPZs for the duration of the release.I~Incorporated in the calculations is wet;and dry deposition which enables dose estimates from three pathways-plume, ground shine, and ingestio'n.

Rev.25, 11/96 7-3 h II I The dose program complies with the"Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective

~Actions for Nuclear Incidents," (EPA-400), adopting the dose, calculation methodology in ICRP.¹26/30.The following calculational options are available:

~~TEDE (Total Effective.

Dose Equivalent) integrated doses consisting of the sum of'external doses from plume shine, 50 year committed effective dose equivalent from inhalation (CEDE), and 4.day ground shine doses.~EDE and CDE dose rates'for field team management.

J~Fifty year thyroid committed dose (CDE), from inhalation of radioactive materials.'

Population dose (person rem)out to 50 miles.'L~Summary print'of projected doses for each of four projection times.~Integrated ground dose for projected times specified by the user.I The, dose calculation program is a stand alone program running on PCs located in the TSC and EOF.Estimates of downstream river water.concentrations are made by employing effluent sample analysis or discharge monitor data, discharge flow rates and river elevation readings.The river , elevation is used.to estimate the travel time to the point of interest.The calculated'egree of mixing, together with the discharge monitor data and the discharge flow rates are used to calculate downstream concentrations.'

Detailed operating procedures and plant procedures are utilized by the plant operating personnel to assist, them in recognizing emergency events and taking the corrective actions necessary to place the plant in a safe condition.

Table 7.1 shows personnel available to respond to an emergency.

Additionally, EP-PSs describe subsequent and supplemental corrective actions for the scope of potential situations within each of the emergency classifications.

These procedures are designed to guide the actions of the personnel to correct or mitigate the condition as early.and as near to the source of the problem as feasible.Some, essential corrective actions may-involve the risk of em'ergency exposure to NERO personnel.

Such actions could involve preventing the release of large quantities of radioactive material, reducing damage to major equipment or life saving actions.Table 7.2 specifies the limits for emergency exposure and other relevant criteria to be considered.

The ED is responsible for all corrective actions taken to mitigate the'consequences of the accident on'-site.Rev.25, 11/96 l~*tl Protective-actions are implemented to prevent or mitigate consequences to individuals during or after a radiological incident.Protective actions within the SSES site boundary're the responsibility of the ED, but may include assistance by off-site organizations., Protective actions outside the SSES site boundary are primarily.

the responsibility of State'nd local emergency organizations, but may include coordination of activities, dissemination of appropriate data, and , recommendations by the ED, or Recovery Manager.'rotective action recommendations are outlined'in Table 7.3.The primary protective measure for on-site personnel in an emergency is prompt evacuation Rom areas which may be affected by significant radiation, contamination, or airborne radioactivity.

Respiratory protective equipment and clothing are provided at the plant and in the various emergency equipment kits for personnel who may be'required to perform emergency activities.

Control of in-plant conta'mination is in accordance with SSES Health Physics procedures:

In the-event of radioactive contamination outside fenced security areas, but within the exclusion area,'ccess to such areas is controlled by PPEcL with as'sistance from the, PSP..This category refers to.evacuation from one area to another area within the same building.The initiation of a Local Area Evacuation results Rom ARM or CAM alarm(s)sounding'in the same area within a building or from observed conditions such as smoke or toxic gas, which may indicate a possible habitability problem.The initial response for individuals is to evacuate to an unaffected-area of the building, notify the plant Control Room of the conditions, and await further instruction.

The ED assesses the situation, activates appropriate procedures to rectify the.conditio'n and informs the personnel when to return to their respective work area via the PA system.4 P'The initiation of a Radiologically Controlled Area Evacuation results from ARM, CAM, or other applicable monitor alarms, (i.e., fire alarms).Notification for personnel to proceed with a Radiolo'gically Controlled Area Evacuation is announced over the plant PA system.'The initial mandatory response by individuals is evacuation to an unaffected area.In this case, however, the nearest such area may not be in the same building, and multiple ARM, CAM, or Qre alarms are probable.The decision to implement a Radiolo'gically Controllhd Area Evacuation is the responsibility of the ED.Factors to be considered include the apparent levels of radiation and/or airborne radioactivity, involved and the exposure to personnel that would result from evacuating to Assembly Areas.In the event of multiple fire alarms within the Radiologically Controlled Area, Rev.25, 11/96 7-5 P V'I lt with no.potential hazard to personnel, such as workers in unaffected areas, the ED may deem it prudent not to evacuate such personnel and allow work to continue.4 e f h Accountability of on-site personnel during an emergency is accomplished through the use of the physical security system and procedures.

The physical security system clearly establishes who is within the protected area.Personnel are summoned to accountability areas during an emergency via an alert sigrial transmitted over the PA system.The names of the personnel reporting in are'compared to those logged through the security system in order to ensure total accountability.

Site Evacuation requires that all individuals within the SSES.site, except for Control Room , operations personnel and others with specific emergency assignments," leave the'site.If off-site assembly is required by the ED, personnel will go to the.Remote Assembly Area.The Primary'emote Assembly Area is the Susquehanna Energy Information Center (NE Sector), as shown in Figure 8.1.The alternate Remote Assembly Area is the West Building (WSW Sector).Security personnel and assembly area leaders will coordinate assembly and accountability at Remote-Assembly Areas.Implementation of a Site Evacuation is the responsibility of the ED.That decision is based on the severity of the incident, the likelihood of escalation, and the radiation and airborne radioactivity levels throughout the station.Notification is made via the PA system.Accountability is accomplished in passage through the security gate and supervisory checks at the assembly area.Personnel and vehicle contamination surveys.are performed at the Remote Assembly Area, using portable survey instruments.

t OI~'The responsibility for actions to protect off-site individuals

'rests with the, Commonwealth of'ennsylvania.-

tt DEP/BRP is responsible for evaluating information obtained&om SSES and other sources and recommending appropriate off-site protective actions'to PEMA.Such recommendations include:~Shelter for affected populations

~Evacuation of affected populations

~Administration of thyroid prophylaxis

~Control of contaminated agricultural products~The principal off-site local coordinating agency is LCEMA.Since the.area and population inside the ten-"mile EPZ are partially within Columbia County, parallel emergency response functions are provided by CCDES.Upon notification by PEMA'of'a situation which may require protective actions for off-site populations, LCEMA and CCDES initiate appropriate actions.If Rev.25, 11/96 7-6

/PEMA has lost communication or is'otherwise unavailable, it is possible that the ED or Recovery Manager may contact LCEMA and CCDES directly with protective action recommendations.

If.'ime permits, LCEMA and CCDES obtain a review and verification by PEMA of recommendations made by the ED or Recovery Manager.W I LCEMA and CCDES protective actions include:,/~Prompt alerting of the population within ten'miles of the SSES through the use of the-, Public Notification System described in Section 8.0.~'ransmission.

of specific instructions to potentially affected populations via the Emergency Alert System.~Assistance for evacuation of the population within the ten-mile EPZ.~='Reception and mass care centers for evacuated individuals.

&om the 10-mile EPZ, identifies potential problem areas and'provides contingencies for dealing with adverse conditions.

It was-utilized in the development of detailed evacuation plans by PEMA, LCEMA, and CCDES.All reasonable measures are taken to maintain the radiation exposure of emergency personnel who provide r'escue, first aid, decontamination, ambulance, or medical treatment services within applicable limits specified in 10CFR20.Table 7.2 summarizes the emergency exposure criteria for entry or re-entry into areas for purposes.of undertaking protective or corrective actions.Methods and conditions for permitting'.volunteers to receive emergency radiation exposures are described in EP-PSs, and provide for expeditious decisions with consideration to known and reasonable balance of associated risks.Personnel contamination in emergency situations is controlled to the extent feasible by'the normal methods of using protective clothing and surveying for contamination following the-removal of such clothing.Personnel decontamination areas are available in-plant and decontamination efforts involving significant amounts of contamination are performed under the'irection of Health Physics personnel.

At least two persons who are qualified in first aid methods are on-site at all times.First aid to injured personnel can be performed in conjunction with any necessary decontamination methods.-'owever, if immediate treatment of the injury is vital, that treatment takes precedence over decontamination.

This'hilosophy also extends to off-site emergencyassistance involving radioactive contamination.

For that purpose, measures are established to ensure timely off-site medical treatment.

~~Arrangements and agreements have been made for the transportation and treatment of patients from SSES, who may have injuries complicated with radioactive contamination or who may have been involved in a radiation incident.I Rev.25, l 1/96 7-8 TABLE 7.2 EMERGENCY EXPOSURE CRITERIA,.'lanned exposure to the whole body and/or specific organs should not exceed the following recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements and the Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents (EPA-400).

Guidance on dose limits for workers performing emergency services is summarized in tabular format below.NOTE: These limits apply to doses incurred over the duration of an emergency, treated as a once in a lifetime exposure, and not added to occupational exposure accumulated under non-emergency conditions.

Doses to all workers during emergencies should, to the extent practicable, be limited to 5 REM.There are some emergency situations for which higher exposure limits may be justified.

Justification of any such exposure must include the presence of conditions that prevent the rotation of workers or other commonly used dose reduction methods.NOTE: Exposure of workers that is incurred for the protection of large populations may be considered justified for situations in which the collective dose avoided by the emergency operation is significantly larger than that incurred.by the workers involved.Persons undertaking any emergency operation in which the dose will exceed 25 REM to the whole body should do so only on a voluntary basis and with full awareness of the risks involved, including the numerical levels of dose at which acute eFects of radiation will be incurred and numerical estimates of risk of delayed efFects.Guidance on Dose Limits for Workers Performin Emer en Services 5 rem 10 rem 25 rem>25 rem All Protectin Valuable Pro ert Life saving or protection of large o ulations Life saving or protection of large populations Lower Doses Not Practicable Lower Doses Not Practicable Only on a voluntary basis to persons fully aware of the risks involved (see attached tables a Sum of external e6ective dose equivalent and committed effective dose equivalent to non pregnant adults from exposure and intake during an emergency situation.

Workers performing services during emergencies should limit dose to the lens of the eye to three times the listed value and doses to any other organ (including skin and body extremities) to ten times the listed value.These limits apply to all doses from an incident, except those received in unrestricted areas as members of the public during the intermediate phase of the incident.Rev.22, 04/95 Page 1 Additional General Criteria~Only volunteers are given planned emergency exposure.~Attached tables provide information concerning acute and delayed health effects.~Whenever practical, consideration is given to dividing exposure among as many personnel as possible.~Potassium Iodide utilization for iodide prophylaxis requires the approval of the Emergency Director or the Recovery Manager in consultation with the Radiation Protection Coordinator or the Radiation Support Manager and medical consultants, if available.

The purpose of the SPDS is to provide a continuous indication of the safety status of the plant.SPDS data aids the control room, and TSC staff in rapidly detecting abnormal operating conditions, by enabling the staff to achieve a timely status assessment without surveying the entire Control Room..SPDS includes sensors, signals, data acquisition equipment, data preparation equipment, and data display devices.Data for Unit 1 and Unit 2 is collected separately by dedicated Data A'cquisition Systems.Unit 1 data is available in the Control Room and TSC via SPDS.Unit 2 and Common data is transmitted to the Unit 2 PICSY and is available on any PICSY SDS located in the Control Room, TSC, EOF, MOC, or General Of5ce.Unit 1 SPDS data will be installed on the PICSY SDS during the second quarter of 1998.This section will be revised after the installation of PICSY on Unit 1.The SSES emergency procedures were developed&om the BWR Emergency Procedure'Guidelines (EPGs).The EPGs were developed by GE and BWR Owner's Group to comply with'ask Action Plan Item I.C.1 item 3 as clarified by-NUREG-0737.

The Ow'ner's Group performed Rev.25, 11/96 8-11

~~~a comprehensive study to identify a minimum set of EPGs which provide coverage of plant'afety functions and FSAR Chapter 15 events.Table 8-1 presents a list of parameters which haVe been derived from the plant emergency procedures and form the safety parameter set for the SPDS.I Where available, inputs are taken from redundant sensors.This allows SPDS to validate critical parameters on a real-time basis.The accuracy of the data acquired is consistent with accuracy,.needed to perform the, various emergency functions.

The time resolution of eacli sensor signal depends on the potential transient behavior of the variable being measured, and'the scan rate for each variable is determined accordingly.

One sample per second is the fastest that any given variable is scanned.All signal interfaces to safety systems utilize isolation devices to prevent interference, degradation, or damage to any element of those safety systems as specified in 10 CFR 50 General Design Criteria 22, 23 and 24, and in IEEE Standard 279-1971 Sec.4.7.*4 I Once the data has been acquired, it is prepared and then output to the SPDS display.Data from the data acquisition system is stored in memory and processed before it is presented to personnel.

'Sofbvare provides for data acquisition, preparation, and presentation.

The data base includes raw, data converted to engineering units, validated data,'nd calculated data, which is used for trends or time derivatives.

The SPDS display is responsive to transient conditions and is suf5cient to indicate the plant status.A simple primary display, using human factors engineering criteria, gives an overall system status, and includes as a minimum the following parameters:

Reactor Power, Reactor Water Level, Reactor Vessel Pressure, Drywell Pressure, and Gaseous EfQuent (noble gas).The display is easily accessible and visible.The display parameters will change colors to alert personnel of unsafe operating conditions.

This system has an availability in the 99%area above cold shutdown, and 80%area during cold shutdown.Availability calculations are performed on a regular basis.The availability of the system is enhanced by a comprehensive mairitenance program and with built-in facilities.
