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

SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN Summary of Emergency Plan NAEP Page 3.1 Revision # TBD Page No. 3.2 3.0
SUMMARY
OF EMERGENCY PLAN NAEP Page 3.2 Revision # TBD Types of emergencies are divided into four classifications which cover a broad spectrum of potential occurrences. The classifications range from a "Notification of Unusual Event" , in which offsite officials are notified of an unusual condition , through "General Emergency ," in which onsite and offsite evacuation may be required and a major state of emergency exists. This classification scheme is compatible with existing State and local plans. An emergency response organization is established with specific duties and responsibilities defined , and points of contact between onsite and offsite supporting agencies are designated.
Augmentation of the emergency organization will occur at "Alert" and higher levels. Provisions for prompt notification of State , Local and Federal agencies are established and include pre-planned information which may be required for offsite agency response. Methods and procedures provide corrective and protective actions including evaluation of the operability of the unaffected unit. The use of protective equipment , protective action guides and exposure limits are also pre-specified. The facilities available for assessment and management of the emergency consist of onsite and offsite response facilities , communication systems , and portable or fixed equipment and systems for detection and measurement of those parameters causing or resulting from the emergency.
Medical facilities are also available.
Provisions are provided for public information activities , including development and issuance of press releases , media briefings, and responding to public inquiries. A recovery program describes the organization and procedural approach required to re-start the affected unit. The recovery program provides guidance for relaxing protective measures that have been instituted and requires the periodic estimation of total population exposure.
The Emergency Plan and Emergency Plan Implement i ng Procedures are reviewed annually. The Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC) shall evaluate the review and may provide additional recommendations as necessary.
Periodic drills and exercises involving communications , fire-fighting, radiological monitoring and Health Physics activities are routinely conducted. A joint exercise involving participation by State and local response agencies will be held on even-numbered years at North Anna (on odd-numbered years , the State participates at Surry) to ensure all major elements of the Plan are tested within an eight year period. Federal response agencies may also participate in these joint exercises. Critiques of each implementation of the Plan allow for critical reviews of technique , methods , and shortcomings.
Improvements will be factored into the Plan and/or Implementing Procedures through revisions.

4.0 EMERGENCY
CONDITIONS NAEP Page 4.2 Revision # TBD The following guidelines describe the criteria used by station personnel in classify i ng or determining the type of an emergency.
The types of potential accidents or emergencies can be numerous and vary in magnitude. Accordingly , the classification system is wide-ranged , although flexible and straight forward. The four classifications are defined in accordance with Appendix 1 of NU REG 0654 , "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." The classification system is not intended to include minor deviations during normal operation.
Furthermore , it may be discovered that an event or condition , which met the classification criteria , had existed , but that the basis for the emergency class no longer exists at the time of discovery. For example, the event may have rapidly concluded or been discovered during a post-event review. As discussed in NUREG-1022, "Event Reporting Guidel i nes: 10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73" (Revision 1), actual declaration of an emergency class is not necessary in these circumstances , although notification to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is warranted.

OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS The spectrum of emergencies peculiar to nuclear power stations range from accidents with minor implications on health and safety to the postulation of major occurrences resulting in the release of significant quantities of radioactive material.
Examples of minor accidents include unplanned or uncontrolled releases of small amounts of radioactive material in excess of allowable limits as well as equipment malfunctions.
Major occurrences , though not expected to take place , have been postulated for planning and design purposes because their consequences could include the potential for release of significant amounts of radioactive material.
The range of conditions in Appendix 1 to NUREG-0654 and Section 15 of the North Anna Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) have been included in the classification system of this Plan. Of the Condition IV -Limiting Faults analyzed in the UFSAR, three are considered to have the potential for releasing significant amounts of radioactivity. These are the loss of coolant accident , the steam generator tube rupture accident and the fuel handling accident.
The nature of these three accidents is such that a safety analysis can produce results which vary considerably in the radiological consequences.
The analysis results depend on assumptions used concerning such items as the status of primary coolant radioactivity content , meteorological conditions , or performance of station safety systems. The UFSAR makes very conservative estimates of the consequences. The Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures are written in anticipation of having to contend with these worst case consequences.
4.2 EMERGENCY
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM NAEP Page 4.3 Revision # TBD Emergency conditions which may develop will be categorized as one of the following emergency classifications (defined in Section 1 of this plan): 1. Notification of Unusual Event. 2. Alert. 3. Site Area Emergency.
- 4. General Emergency.
The Notification of Unusual Event classification requires notification of appropriate offsite support groups and station management personnel that an abnormal condition exists at the station. The purpose of this notification is to increase the awareness of key offsite support organizations and station management of a condition which can currently be managed by the onsite resources , but which could escalate to a more serious condition. The on-shift operations personnel are assigned response tasks in accordance with the pre-augmentation organization responsibilities defined in Section 5 of this plan. The Alert classification is indicative of a more serious condition which has the potential for radioactive release. As a result , the emergency response organ i zation is notified to augment onsite resources and activate emergency response facilities. The Site Area Emergency classification reflects conditions where some sign i ficant radiation releases are likely or are occurring , but where a core melt situation is not currently indicated. In this situation, there would be full mobilization in the nearsite environs of monitoring teams and associated communications.
A Site Area Emergency can be declared for reasons other than radiological releases.
The General Emergency class i fication is indicative of actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with the potential for loss of containment , or non-radiological events which could endanger public health and/or safety. Within fifteen minutes of declaring a General Emergency , predetermined protective action recommendations will be made to the State based on plant and meteorological conditions. Tables 4.1 -4.4 list the initiating conditions for each emergency classification. The Emergency Action Level Matrix groups these conditions by event category for easy reference and identification. For each condition , specific indications available from instruments and unit operating response are defined in the matrix to confirm that the proper thresholds have been met for declaring a given classification. Once indications are available to plant operators that an emergency action level has been exceeded , the event is promptly assessed and classified, and the corresponding emergency classification level is declared. This declaration occurs as soon as possible and within 15 minutes of when these indications become available.

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

5.0 ORGANIZATIONAL
CONTROL OF EMERGENCIES NAEP Page 5.4 Rev i sion # TBD An i ntegral part of th i s Emergency plan i s to assure that classificat i ons of Not i fication of Unusual Event , Alert , Site Area Emergency , and General Eme r gency are consistently made in a timely manner. All employees are instructed to contact the Shift Manager to report any emergency. This notification and the information available to the Shift Manager in the Control Room enable a timely classification of the emergency and subsequent act i ons. The Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor initially acts in the capacity of the Stat i on Emergency Manager (SEM) and takes actions as outl i ned i n the EPIPs. If required by the emergency classification , or if deemed appropriate by the Station Emergency Manager , emergency response personnel will be notified and instructed to report to their emergency response locations. The Shift Manager is r elieved as Station Emergency Manager when the Site Vice President or his designated alternate reports to the station (normally to the Control Room) and is updated as to the status of the un i t , the emergency act i ons taken , and the current status of the emergency. Following this relief , the Station Emergency Manager may relocate to the onsite Technical Support Center (TSC). The Corporate Emergency Response Cen t er (CERC) is act i vated concurrent with the TSC. The CERC is staffed by corporate personnel , including the Corporate Response Manager and Technical Support Manager , who direct the act i vit i es of this facility.
The Technical Support Manager is responsible for ensuring the CERC communicates emergency status to the State and local governments , directs the efforts of the offsite mon i toring teams , makes radiological assessments , recommending offsite protective measures to the State , and arranging for dispatch of any spec i al assistance or services requested by the station. The Corporate Response Manager has the ultimate authority to comm i t company resources and set policy as part of managing the long term recovery effort. 5.1 NORMAL STATION ORGANIZATION The Site Vice Pres i dent is ultimately responsible for the operation of the Station. The minimum staff required to conduct Station operation is ma i ntained at the station at all times. For purposes of the Emergency Plan , the on-shift manning is assumed to be on back-shift because the normal stat i on complement of pe r sonnel is only present during regular duty hours on scheduled work days. The basic shift (back-shift}
complement of personnel is comprised of Operations, Health Physics , Chemistry , and Security personnel with coverage by Maintenance on designated shifts. In addition , technical/engineering support is available on all shifts from the Shift Technical Adv i sor (STA). Station administrative procedures provide the details of the normal station organ i zation including reporting relationships. 5.2 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION The first line of control in an emergency at North Anna Power Station lies with the on-shift personnel.
The shift complement is staffed with personnel qualified to take the initial actions necessary to respond to an emergency. The organizational relationship of the on-shift emergency organization prior to augmentation is shown in Figure 5.1. Coverage by the Chemistry Team and the Damage Control Team NAEP Page 5.5 Revision # TBD would be provided on an as needed basis. However , augmentation of the onsite emergency organization will specifically provide such coverage. Also , personnel assigned to the Search and Rescue Team , the First Aid Team , and the Fire Brigade may be assigned other functions until their services are required. The capability of the on-shift personnel to effectively manage an emergency is assured by the timely call out of supplementary emergency response personnel.
The capabilities of the assigned on-shift personnel are adequate to assess the condition of the affected unit(s) and take initial mitigative actions in accordance with emergency operating procedures including corrective actions necessary to implement procedures consistent with operations personnel training. Additionally, on-shift personnel make notifications to off-site authorities and initiate a call out of supplementary emergency response personnel as required.
The EPIPs are used to procedurally control these actions. A detailed analysis of on-shift personnel assigned emergency plan implementation functions was performed under provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix E Part IV.A.9. This analysis determined the staff complement listed in the on-shift column of Table 5.1 can adequately perform required emergency response actions in a timely manner until augmenting ERO staff is required to arrive. This analysis considered a spectrum of events , including UFSAR Condition IV events requiring augmented ERO response , a probable aircraft threat , a design basis threat , a fire requiring Control Room evacuation and remote shutdown , a station black out , etc. This staffing analysis is incorporated by reference as a part of this emergency plan. Should the Station Emergency Manager deem that additional emergency response personnel are needed or the emergency classification is upgraded to Alert or higher , he shall initiate the augmentation of the on shift Emergency Organization by instructing Station Security to commence callout of supplementary emergency response personnel.
Table 5.1 represents the minimum number of personnel that are required to augment emergency operations and the estimated response times of these personnel.
The responsibilities of the emergency response personnel assigned on shift and those who make up the augmentation crews meet the staffing functions identified in Table B-1 of NUREG-0654.
The numbers of emergency response personnel designated for both the on-shift and augmentation contingents meet or exceed the guidance.
Sufficient training has been provided for the on-shift personnel to ensure that the response actions needed to bring the affected unit(s) to a stable condition in preparation for the longer term recovery will be taken. If an emergency occurs on one of the two units , the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor assumes the operational responsibility for the unaffected unit. This allows the other to assume the position of Station Emergency Manager until relieved.
Figure 5.2 shows the station emergency organization after full augmentation.
5.2.1 Station
Emergency Position and Team Descriptions The Station Emergency Organization, when fully implemented , will consist of at least the positions discussed below. Reporting relationships are as depicted in Figure 5.2. Additional personnel may be designated by Station Management as emergency responders providing special expertise deemed beneficial, but not mandatory , to the planned response. The individuals assigned as interim, primary and NAEP Page 5.6 Revision # TBD alternate responders for the emergency positions will be designated by Station Management based on the technical requirements of the position.

5.3 AUGMENTATION
OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATION The Station Emergency Manager has the authority to request assistance from any organization which he deems necessary to mitigate the conditions causing the emergency. In addition , the Station Emergency Manager may request offsite assistance in fire fighting , rescue services, law enforcement , and medical support prior to augmentation of the onsite emergency organization (see Figure 5.3). The participating agencies and support services with whom emergency support services have been negotiated are listed in Appendix 10.1 of this Plan. If conditions at the Station require an Alert or higher classification, the CERC , TSC and OSC shall be activated. The facility activation goal for the TSC and OSC is approximately 60 minutes. The activation time goal for the CERC is within 75 minutes of the declaration of an Alert or higher emergency class , with activation defined as the assembly of required positions in the CERC and the CERC Corporate Response Manager declaring the facility activated. The Station Emergency Manager would normally forward information or request additional support through the Corporate Response Manager located in the CERC (See Figure 5.4). Additional resources shall be obtained through personnel assigned to the CERC. Those additional personnel directed to report to the site during the emergency shall report to the Station Emergency Manager for assignment.
Figures 5.5.a-d display minimum staff required for activation. 5.3.1 Notification and Response The emergency response organization (ERO) is notified to augment in the event of an Alert , Site Area Emergency or General Emergency. The following functions may be necessary for emergency mitigation and recovery:

5.3.3 Local
Services Support NOTE: U pd ate of t hi s l egacy ti tl e i s b eyo nd th e sco p e o f this li ce n se ame ndm e n t r e qu es t. NAEP Page 5.16 Revision # TBD Agreements have been arranged to provid fire fighting , rescue squad , medical and hospital services. Responding rescue squads are trained i the handling , treatment , and transportation of injured personnel.
The Virginia Commonwealth Universit Medical Center (VCUMC) has developed an Emergency Plan designed to provide medical care in th case of a radiation emergency.
The MCVHNCU Radiation Emergency Plan supports the company's clear power stations in the case of occupational and/or major accidents , including contaminated perso nel. In the event of a need for their support , a call ahead to VCUMC will be made to alert them t activate their Rad i ation Emergency Plan. A copy of the plan is maintained on file by Nuclear Erner ncy Preparedness Department and is incorporated into this plan by reference as Appendix 10.9. Letters of Agreement in upport of the North Anna Emergency Plan are re-negotiated once every 2 years. Copies of current agr ements are maintained on file by the Nuclear Emergency Preparedness department.
Agreement lett are limited to Federal , State , Local , and volunteer organizations.
Negotiation responsibility lies with the Director Nuclear Emergency Preparedness. 5.4 COORDINATION WITH PARTICIPATING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES The State organization for response to radiological emergencies is based on normal governmental structures and channels of communication. The Governor , in his role as Director of Emergency Management , directs the emergency response through the State Coordinator of Emergency Management.
The State Coordinator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response , and the Department of Health provides technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment , protective action , radiological control , and radiological monitoring.
Responsibility for radiological emergency response rests primarily with the elected officials of local governments.
As time is a major factor in realizing the benefits of protective action in the event of a radiological emergency , certain of these actions are predetermined and agreed upon by the local governing body and are implemented without delay upon notification of a radiological emergency. An lnsta-phone (dedicated county and state ringdown loop), continuously monitored by the Operations Shift , with extensions available in the Control Room , TSC and CERC , is used for normal transmission of emergency notifications to these authorities (See Section 7.2.2.5). Procedures for authentication of an emergency , via the use of restricted , unpublished call-back telephone numbers , are maintained in State and local Radiolog i cal Emergency Response Plans. When notification is received , the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan (COVEOP) is implemented and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) initiates action to assess and evaluate the radiological situation in order to provide guidance and assistance to local governments. After the initial immediate actions , subsequent protective actions are made based on the results of the State evaluation of the radiological situation and the company's recommendations. State and Federal agencies provide assistance as required.
Response operations at the State level are coordinated by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM).
NAEP Page 5.17 Revis i on # TBD The State will also provide police support during activation of this plan. In the event of an emergency, the dispatcher at the State Police Headquarters in Richmond, Virginia would normally be called. The first response would most likely be from police units normally based in the local area. These resources would be supplemented by additional units dispatched from other parts of the state. The State Police would also provide traffic control and additional security. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is also part of the response to this Plan. Their role would be to assist in monitoring Lake Anna and provide knowledge of local terrain. The local County Sheriffs of Louisa and Spotsylvania counties also respond to this Plan. They can perform essentially the same functions as the State Police and coordinate their efforts with that organization.
In the event of an emergency, the Station will be in communication with the Louisa, Spotsylvania , Orange, Hanover, and Caroline Directors of Emergency Services who have the capability of activating their Emergency Operations Centers. The Station relies upon these counties to provide assistance in the event an evacuation from the site requires a remote assembly point or for any services the counties are capable of providing to mitigate the results of the emergency.
The Station relies upon Louisa and the Commonwealth of Virginia to coordinate response with other local, state, and federal agencies during a large scale incident , such as a hostile action against the station or a security event. Response agencies will use Incident Command Systems (ICS) guidelines in managing large scale incidents.
The Station will also maintain close contact with the NRG Operations Center and/or the NRG Region II offices in Atlanta , Georgia. This is an important function to ensure that accurate information and assessment of the emergency are available to the Federal Government.
As a result of these communications, the NRG can best appraise their response to the emergency.
In a like manner , the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge Operations, is available to provide radiological assistance to the Station. The Station has the responsibility to provide to supporting agencies involved in the recovery of the facility or participating in controlling the emergency the necessary information to permit them to use their resources.
In the case of the local counties, the Company provides communication and , when needed, training. This training takes the form of participation in drills and exercises by the county and radiological training for members of local volunteer rescue squads and fire departments. The Company and/or Station will arrange drills and exercises on a routine basis to ensure the plan is workable and to gain experience in its implementation.
The total effort of all parties involved shall be directed toward minimizing the results of an emergency and working toward the recovery of the facility with the least impact on the population at large. CERC personnel coordinate support activities with federal and state agencies responding to the emergency and/or recovery.
The Corporate Response Manager may also assemble NRG, state , vendor , and/or consultant support at the CERC. Assistance may be sought from other nuclear utilities, if needed. If requested by the State EOG , a Company technical representative will be dispatched to provide technical NAEP Page 5.18 Revision # TBD interpretation or clarification of data transmitted to that office. (This individual's responsibilit i es do not include making statements to the media.) 5.4.1 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) The State Coord i nator of Emergency Management coordinates the overall response operations at the State level and performs specific duties as defined in the COVEOP. The VEOC is located in Richmond, Virginia. There are local Emergency Operations Centers in Louisa and Spotsylvania Counties. The VDEM will send appropriate liaison personnel to the Corporate Emergency Response Center upon activation. 5.4.2 Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Health (VDH) VDH personnel, in coordination with VDEM, provide technical advice and assistance on radiological accident assessment , protective actions , radiological exposure control , and radiological monitoring. (Reference COVEOP for more specific information
.) Upon either an Alert or higher classification , VDEM will notify VDH's Office of Radiological Health which will then implement its response procedures. Included in the planned response is a team sent to the CERC , which provides a direct interface between VDH and their Radiological Emergency Response Team (RERT) operating from the VEOC. VDH also provides advice and assistance , as required, to Local Health Districts which provide primary health services to their respective areas. 5.4.3 Additional State Agency Support Add i tional State organizations having possible responsibilities in a radiological emergency are listed in COVEOP. Requests for support services from these organizations will be coordinated through VDEM by the SEM or the CERC Resource Manager. 5.4.4 Louisa County The authority and responsibilities of Louisa County are presented in the Louisa County Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). The Louisa County Radiological Emergency Response Plan applies to radiological emergencies within the county and: a. Assigns responsibilities to county offices and organizat i ons for radiological emergency response and preparedness. b. Sets forth procedures for disseminating warning of radiological emergencies to the citizens of the county. c. Specifies response actions for specific emergency classifications.
- d. Delineates the policies and concepts under which the county government will operate in radiological emergency response. Upon notification from the Station Emergency Manager , the Sheriff's Office will notify the County Coordinator of Emergency Services , or his designated representative , who shall: a. Check the notification from the Power Station. b. Initiate the key county official's alert system. c. Initiate public warning procedures , as authorized by the appropriate State authority.
NAEP Page 5.19 Revision # TBD d. Prepare for evacuation of people for the affected a r ea if authorized by the appropriate State authority.
The County Coordinator of Emergency Services or his representative will act i vate and ensure that the EOG is manned 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day. Once initial notificat i ons are complete , the Station Emergency Manager or Technical Support Manager provides periodic status reports to the County Coordinato r of Emergency Services. These reports will include any changes in status or emergency classification.
The County Sheriff's Office will serve as the local point for official communications within and out of the county , pr i or to establishment of the County Emergency Operations Center (EOG). When the EOG is established , this responsibility will transfer to the EOG. 5.4.5 Spotsylvania, Caroline, Hanover, and Orange Counties The authority and responsib i lities of the above counties during a radiological emergency are presented in their respect i ve RERP. The RERPs apply to the rad i ological emergencies with i n these localities caused by events at the North Anna Power Stat i on. The Spotsylvania , Caroline , Hanover , and Orange County RERPs are identical to the Louisa RERP , as described in Sect i on 5.4.4 of this Plan , except for information that is specific to the respective counties. In the event of an emergency of any classification , the SEM will notify all local jurisdictions (Louisa , Spotsylvania , Caroline , Hanover , and Orange and the State) by using the lnsta-phone loop. If the phone is out of service , regular commercial telephone will be used to make the notifications and the above localities have a system to call back to the power station and check the message. All local jur i sdictions provide 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day coverage.
5.4.6 Counties
and Cities Within the Fifty Mile Ingestion Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) The counties that are directly involved in the emergency plan are Louisa and Spotsylvania. These counties are the major component of the 1 O mile zone. They have emergency response functions as previously stated in this section. The counties and cities within the fifty mile EPZ are listed in Table 5.3. In the event of an emergency , notification and coordination with these entities is the responsibility of the VEOC. 5.4.7 Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center {FRMAC) Operations Plan The FRMAC Operations Plan provides for the coordinated management of Federal technical response activities related to a radiological emergency. Its primary goa l s include:
- Assisting the State and Federal Coordinating Agency with personnel , equipment , and technical resources , as needed;
- Collecting offsite environmental radiological data; and ,
- Prov i ding the data and related assessments to involved State agencies and to the Federal Coordinating Agency. The Department of Energy (DOE), because of its history and capabilit i es in radiological monitoring and assessment , was assigned the responsibility to prepare for , establish , and manage the FRMAC. The FRMAC may be activated when a major radiological emergency exists , and the Federal government will NAEP Page 5.20 Revision # TBD respond when a State , other governmental entity with jurisdiction , or a regulated entity requests federal support. The SEM or Corporate Response Manager may request FRMAC assistance directly or through the NRC (Federal Coordinating Agency). The Company will provide designated facilities (space and communications equipment) fo r the NRC (Federal Coordinating Agency) in the CERC. It is estimated that a FRMAC Advance Party could be expected at the site within 6 to 14 hours1.62037e-4 days <br />0.00389 hours <br />2.314815e-5 weeks <br />5.327e-6 months <br /> following the order to deploy , based on the availability of a i rports near North Anna. Richmond International Airport (RIC) is a major commercial facility and is within about an 85 minute drive from the station. Smaller airports located within about an hour of the site may also be used. Further information concerning objectives and organization is provided in the FRMAC Operations Plan (See Appendix 10.10).

6.0 EMERGENCY
MEASURES NAEP Page 6.2 Revision # TBD Emergency measures provide pre-planned actions , methods, and criteria which guide personnel during the course of an emergency.
The initial response to any emergency condition will be the activation of the Emergency Plan. After activation, the emergency organization that is formulated by activation of the Emergency Plan performs the necessary assessment activities to classify the type of emergency. If the emergency is radiological in nature , the potential consequences of the emergency will be evaluated for the necessary offsite and onsite protective actions to guard the health and safety of the population. If additional assistance is required , offsite support will be requested as provided for in letters of agreements established with a variety of government agencies and volunteer organizations.
6.1 ACTIVATION
OF THE EMERGENCY PLAN Each full time employee of the station is required to be familiar with the provisions of the Emergency Plan. Any employee, upon becoming aware of an emergency condition , shall immediately notify the Shift Manager on duty unless it is apparent notification has already taken place. Upon such notification or other indications , the Shift Manager or Unit Supervisor assumes the responsibilities of the Station Emergency Manager. The SEM will classify the emergency , initiate the appropriate notifications and call outs , and coordinate the actions of the emergency response organization. State and local community officials will be notified within 15 minutes after declaration of an emergency (meaning the emergency classification level has been provided to the Virginia and risk-jurisdiction Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)). The initial information following declaration of any emergency class includes the class of emergency , whether a release is in progress , and any recommended protective measures. Additional informat i on will be provided as it becomes available. Figures 6.1 through 6.4 are samples of message forms used for these notifications.
The content of the messages have been established in conjunction with the State and local governments. Notifications will be made to the NRG as soon as possible but within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after declaration of an emergency. Initial information is provided to the NRG as required by 10 CFR 50.72 (Immediate notification requirements for operating nuclear power reactors).
Dedicated communicators will be available to provide regular updates to state and local officials approximately every 60 minutes , when conditions change or as otherwise agreed , and to maintain a continuous channel of communications with the NRG. 6.2 ASSESSMENT ACTIONS EPIP-1.01 , Emergency Manager Controlling Procedure, is the procedure for emergency event categorization and classification , while EPIP-4.01, Radiological Assessment Director Controlling Procedure , provides guidance for conducting dose assessment, source term determination , atmospheric diffusion factor determination , monitoring team activities, personnel monitoring and decontamination , monitoring of onsite facilit i es , evacuation , respiratory protection, sampling and sample analysis , and use of the MIDAS computer model. Once the emergency classification has been determined, the appropriate EPIPs are initiated to direct the activation of the required emergency response facilities and call out of designated emergency response NAEP Page 6.3 Revision # TBD personnel.
The design of the facilities and the data retrieval and monitoring capab i lities provide the information needed to make timely assessments and formulate appropriate protective actions. 6.3 PROTECTIVE ACTIONS The Technical Support Manager or the Station Emergency Manager (if the CERC is not yet activated) is responsible for recommending offsite protective actions to the State. The State and local governments are responsible for notification of the public and implementation of the appropriate protective measures. 6.3.1 Offsite Criteria for the 10 Mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) Dose contribution from key isotopes such as those listed in Table 6.1 (and analyzed in UFSAR Sections 11 and 15) are used to calculate offsite doses for comparison to protective action recommendation thresholds.
Protective action recommendations are required to be made to the State within 15 minutes of declaring a General Emergency.
Specific protective action recommendations tied to plant and meteorological conditions have been designed to facilitate meeting this time requirement.
Th i s guidance is based on Supplement 3 (Guidance for Protective Action Strategies) to NUREG-0654
/FEMA-REP-1, " Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." The initial protective action recommendation for any event classified as a General Emergency will be to evacuate a 2 mile radius and 5 miles in the downwind sectors unless severe accident conditions exist, an evacuation dose threshold is exceeded beyond 2 miles or sheltering
-in-place is appropriate.
Sheltering-inplace may be appropriate when known conditions make evacuation dangerous , such as a hostile action based event. Follow-up protective action recommendations that the station may make to the state will be based on current meteorological data such as wind direction , wind speed and stability class , and dose projections.
Also , consistent with the Commonwealth of Virginia's strategies for supplementing these protective actions with use of potassium iodide (Kl) by the general public as a prophylactic , recommendations will be made for implementing these strategies. A Site Area Emergency will be declared when offsite doses are projected to exceed 0.1 Rem TEDE or 0.5 Rem Thyroid COE. A General Emergency will be declared when offsite Protect i ve Action Guides (PAGs) of 1.0 Rem TEDE and/or 5.0 Rem Thyroid COE are projected to be exceeded due to a direct radiat i on or i nhalation hazard , or when non-radiological conditions exceed General Emergency EALs. Warnings to the public within the 10-mile EPZ (Figure 6.5) w i ll be the responsibility of State and local officials who will be assisted by the Virg i nia Department of State Police upon request. The primary method of warning the public is by the use of the Early Warning System sirens. Route alerting provides backup alert and notification capability (reference 10 CFR 50, Appendix E , paragraph IV.0.4). Other warning methods may include telephone communications , television and radio Emergency Alert System stations , public address systems, bull horns from patrol cars and personal contact. There are currently no hospitals, prisons , or nursing homes within the 10 mile EPZ.
NAEP Page 6.4 Revision # TBD It is estimated that the primary sector and the two buffer sectors (spanning 67 1/2°} can be alerted of the emergency within 15 minutes using the Early Warning System. If evacuation is recommended , it is estimated that the 67 1 /2 ° sector can be evacuated within 2 to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. Evacuation zones , routes , and relocation centers have been established in the event that an evacuation is recommended.
This information is published in brochures and distributed by the State. Population distribution and evacuation time estimates are maintained on file by the Nuclear Emergency Preparedness Department (reference Appendix 10.8) and are summarized in Tables 6.2 and 6.3. Written pre-planned messages intended for transmittal to the public via radio and television stations will be consistent with the classification scheme. They will be released to the media by the State Coordinator of Emergency Management or Local Coordinator of Emergency Services or his designated representative. The messages will give instruction with regard to specific actions to be taken by the occupants of the inhabited area. The messages will , as appropriate , give instruction on the aspects of sheltering , thyroid blocking , evacuation, the nature of the emergency , and recommended protective actions. The local governments are charged by the COVEOP with the responsibility to conduct information programs to educate their citizens on: 1. Radiological hazards, 2. Procedures for notification of a radiological emergency , 3. Evacuation routes and assembly points , and 4. Other protective measures.
The COVEOP identifies the methods to be utilized in preventing or minimizing direct or subsequent ingestion exposure to radioactive materials deposited on the ground or other surfaces.
Upon notification of a radiological emergency which may affect livestock , crops , or farmlands , the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will institute a program to assess the impact upon the agriculture community.
Members of that department will take samples of milk from dairy cattle in the affected area for analysis and will monitor soil, crops and farm equipment for contamination.
Follow-up action includes the disposition of radiologically contaminated materials. The local county government(s) has the prime responsibility for controlling affected area ingress and egress. Assistance from the State Police shall be supplied as requested by local officials.
6.3.2 Onsite
Criteria for the Exclusion Area The area within 5000 feet of the former North Anna Unit 3 containment is defined as the Exclusion Area for the purposes of this Plan. Company employees , supplemental personnel, occasional visitors at the site , and boaters on the reservoir and cooling lagoons may be inside the Exclusion Area. The area immediately surrounding the units which is enclosed by a security fence is defined as the Protected Area. The Station Emergency Manager is responsible for making the decision to evacuate the Protected Area , and will take appropriate measures in cooperation with State and local agencies for evacuation of persons in the Exclusion Area and those members of the public who may be passing through the site or within Company property.
The company will also commit personnel and appropriate equipment (search lights , power NAEP Page 6.5 Revision # TBD amplified l oudspeakers) to assist the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries in clearing the Exclusion Area when required.
Visitors to the Protected Area of the station are under continuous escort by personnel knowledgeable in emergency personnel accountability procedures.
Supplemental personnel are also trained in personnel accountability procedures.
Onsite personnel will be immediately notified of an emergency that is initially classified as an Alert or higher event, unless doing so poses a threat to personnel safety. For example , hurricane force winds, a tornado, or a security breach may dictate suspension or deferral of assembly , accountability and/or initiation of facility staffing.
However , these activities would be implemented as quickly as achievable given the specific situation.
Station procedures provide for a range of protective actions to protect onsite personnel during hostile action and ensure continued ability to safely shut down the reactor and perform emergency plan functions.
Normally, alarms will be sounded and announcements will be made to conduct personnel accountability or, if necessary, a site evacuation of non-essential workers. Those individuals within the Exclusion Area will be alerted by station personnel , Security , and/or personnel from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
In the event of an evacuation , radiation monitoring teams will be dispatched to the appropriate Remote Assembly Area. Emergency Assembly Areas have been established outside the Protected Area to facilitate the dissemination of information to personnel.
The Station has the capability to conduct personnel accountability for individuals inside the Protected Area within approximately 30 minutes. After accountability is completed , an evaluation is made and search teams may be dispatched to locate any individual noted as missing or unaccounted. If onsite evacuation is to occur , Security collects only the security key cards , not the dosimetry , of all personnel leaving the Protected Area. Continuous accountabil i ty of personnel in the Protected Area not evacuating the site shall be maintained throughout the emergency.
Evacuees , who may use personal vehicles , proceed to either the primary or secondary remote assembly area (See Figure 6.6). Station evacuees will be surveyed for contamination following events involving a radiological release , and decontaminated , if necessary , prior to being released from the remote assembly area. Decontamination agents and supplies are available at the station which can be transported to the remote assembly areas to provide decontamination capabilities.
6.3.3 Use of Onsite Protective Equipment and Supplies 6.3.3.1 Respiratory Protection The company has a comprehensive respiratory protection program at its nuclear stations. VPAP 2101 , "Radiation Protection Plan" , establishes the Respiratory Protect i on Program which is implemented by HP procedures. Those individuals likely to wear respirators are given a pulmonary examination and training on respiratory protection including a practical examination. A "fit test" is given before an individual is allowed to enter an area requiring respiratory protection.
NOTE: Examp l es of protective clothing to be upd ate d to reflect c urr e nt inventories.
This change is beyond th e sco p e of this li cense a m e ndm ent request. 6.3.3.2 Protective Clothing NAEP Page 6.6 Revision # TBD The station maintains an adequate inventory of protective clothing *n the Clean Change Room. Contaminated clothing is washed at the station and re-issued provided conta
- ation is below established radiation criteria. A Radiation Work Permit system is utilized whereby Radiolog al Protection establishes personnel protect i ve clothing and equipment criteria.
Such clothing may consist of cotton coveralls , hoods , cotton glove inserts, rubber gloves, plastic shoe covers, rubber shoe covers and rubber boots. Station personnel requiring access to a Radiological Control Area are given training on how to don and remove protective clothing so as to m i nimize personal contamination or introduction of contamination into adjacent areas. 6.3.3.3 Thyroid Blocking Agent The process for administering a thyroid blocking agent in a potential radioiodine inhalation situation was authorized by the company's employee health services staff in consultation with its medical support staff. 6.4 AID TO AFFECTED PERSONNEL The Company has made arrangements with the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center (VCUMC), to provide medical assistance to personnel injured or exposed to radiation and/or radioactive material.
VCUMC has developed its own plan for responding to the emergency. VCUMC's plan establishes a specialized area of the hospital for treatment with appropriate Health Physics functions, and implements a coded system to alert hospital team members. Radiation monitoring equipment , dosimetry , and protective clothing are available at VCUMC. The Station will provide and distribute self reading and cumulative type dosimeters to all personnel involved in emergency onsite response regardless of their affiliation.
Dose records shall be maintained and checked throughout the emergency.
6.4.1 Emergency
Exposure Limits Emergency response personnel may , because of necess i ty , receive once-in-a-lifetime exposure to contamination and radiation up to the 1 OCFR20 annual limits , not including accumulated occupational exposure. Approval from the Station Emergency Manager is necessary for planned exposures greater than the 1 OCFR20 annual limits. Under limited circumstances , exposure levels greater than 5 times the 1 OCFR20 annual limits are allowed, but only on a voluntary basis to persons fully aware of the risks involved.
Selection criteria for volunteer emergency workers includes consideration of those who are in good physical health , are familiar with the consequences of emergency exposure , and are not a "declared pregnant adult". It is preferable , though not mandatory , that volunteers be older than 45 years of age and not be a female capable of reproduction.
Emergency exposure may be authorized for such needs as removal of injured personnel , undertaking corrective actions , performing assessment actions , providing first aid , performing personnel decontamination , providing ambulance service , providing medical treatment , etc. Guidelines for emergency exposure limits , including life saving actions , are consistent with EPA Emergency Worker and Life Saving Activity Protective Action Guides.
6.4.2 Decontamination
and First Aid NAEP Page 6.7 Revision # TBD There are First Aid stations located throughout the North Anna Power Station that contain the normal complement of first aid supplies and equipment necessary to treat those injuries not involving hospitalization or professional medical services.
At least two First Aid Team members are available at all times to respond to personnel injury. As a minimum , the First Aid Team personnel are Multi-Media first aid trained. In addition , the following Medical facilities and services are available:
- 1. Company nurse available during normal working hours (Mon. -Fri.). 2. Company ambulance.
- 3. Company designated physicians in the area. 4. Local Rescue Squads. 5. The Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center facilit i es. Actions are required to be taken when levels of radioactive contamination for workers , equipment or areas exceed 1,000 dpm / 100 square centimeters of removable contamination. Any detected personnel contamination will initiate appropr i ate evaluation and decontamination. The Station controls access for onsite contamination and the return of these areas and their contents to normal use. No food supplies are grown on the site and the water supplies come from deep wells. Areas designated permissible for employees to eat and drink during the emergency and recovery phases of operations are monitored for contamination. If onsite personnel are required to relocate or routinely leave the site during an emergency , the Station will provide adequate supplies for personnel decontamination , clothing and means to provide for decontaminating the clothing. If radioiodine contamination of the skin is determined , provisions will be made to provide for decontamination. Monitoring of vehicles and personnel will be performed at the Remote Assembly Areas (RAA). Should decontamination of vehicles or personnel be warranted , Health Physics personnel can perform the task at the Station , the RAA , or if necessary , at Patrick Henry High School in Hanover County. 6.4.3 Medical Transportation A Station ambulance is available to transport contaminated injured personnel.
Contaminated injured personnel will be suitably clothed or prepared to prevent the spread of contamination in the transporting vehicle. Communication can be maintained with VCUMC from the station. The Station can also communicate with the ambulance by use of a UHF radio , and the ambulance can communicate with VCUMC by way of the HEAR system. In addition , arrangements have been made with local volunteer rescue squads to transport injured contaminated personnel to the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center. Response team members have received training concerning transportation of contaminated in j ured individuals. A Health Physics technician , with appropriate instrumentation , would normally accompany NAEP Page 6.8 Revision # TBD contaminated injured personnel to VCUMC. The approximate time to transport a patient to VCUMC is 75 minutes. The estimated time for local rescue squads to arrive at the station is 30 minutes. 6.4.4 Medical Treatment The MCVH/VCU-Dominion Power Radiation Emergency Plan (Appendix 10.9) provides guidance for the treatment of contaminated injured personnel by qualified individuals. The Radiation Emergency Plan includes provisions to request assistance from other facilities having the capability to receive and treat injured and/or contaminated individuals. In the event the facilities at VCUMC become over extended , VCUMC may coordinate further assistance with these facilities directly or through the Virginia Department of Health. 6.5 OFFSITE SUPPORT In addition to the offsite agencies listed above, local volunteer fire departments have agreed to assist in fighting fires. A list of services and equipment is included in the Agreement Letters referenced in Appendix 10.1. The response time of these volunteer fire departments varies from 30 minutes to 45 minutes , unless adverse weather conditions prevail.

7.0 EMERGENCY
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT NAEP Page 7.3 Revision # TBD The facilities required in the implementation of the Emergency Plan consist of the Control Room (shared for both Unit 1 and 2), the Operational Support Center (OSC), the Technical Support Center (TSC), and the Corporate Emergency Response Center (CERC). These facilities were designed to meet the intent of the guidance in NUREG-0696 and the clarification in NUREG-0737 Supplement
- 1. In addition , a Joint Information Center (JIC) and a Local Media Center (LMC) are required for the implementation of the Emergency Plan. A description of each is given below. 7.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSE FACILITIES 7 .1.1 Control Room The Control Room of the affected unit(s) shall be the initial location for command and control of the emergency response effort. All controls and instrumentation needed to diagnose plant conditions and to take immediate actions to place the affected unit(s) in a safe condition are available in the Control Room. Within the Control Room , the Station Emergency Manager has access to the information needed to classify the emergency.
Redundant communication systems are also available in the Control Room to make the required onsite and offsite notifications.
The Control Room has the required shielding and ventilation system to remain habitable during the emergency.
Access to the Control Room shall be limited to those individuals responsible for carrying out assigned emergency response tasks plus other technical advisors, as necessary.
7.1.2 Operational
Support Center The Work Control Center is designated as the Operational Support Center (OSC). The OSC is not designed to remain habitable under all projected emergency conditions
- however , implementing procedures make provisions for relocating the OSC as needed , based on ongoing assessments of plant conditions and facility habitability. The Maintenance Building, 3r d Floor , and the Unit One Emergency Switchgear Room are designated as Alternate OSCs. Augmenting Station operations personnel will report to the primary OSC until instructed by the Shift Manager/SEM to perform a required emergency function.
The OSC is also the designated reporting location for the Fire Brigade , the First Aid Team, the Damage Control Team , and the Search and Rescue Team. 7.1.3 Technical Support Center The Technical Support Center is located adjacent to Unit 1 Control Room , and its alternate location is the Control Room. Emergency response personnel will assemble at the primary TSC unless otherwise instructed by the Station Emergency Manager. The primary location contains controlled copies of selected manuals, procedures , drawings, and other documents as approved by the Facility Safety Review Committee.
Information about plant conditions is available via real time data displays from the Plant Computer System (PCS). Dedicated phone line communications would also be established with the Control Room to keep TSC personnel knowledgeable on current operating evolutions and to provide consultation and recommendations to the Control Room staff.
NAEP Page 7.4 Revis i on # TBD The construct i on of the faci l i t y walls and design of the ven ti lat i on sys t em are such t hat the whole body and thyroid doses received by occupants of t he TSC are below General Des i gn Cr i teria 19 l im i ts. Radiat i on mon i toring equipment for making airborne particulate and direct radiation measurements is installed in the TSC. 7 .1.4 Corporate Emergency Response Center The CERC is the consolidated emergency operat i ons facility (EOF) fo r North Anna Power Station and Surry Power Station. The CERC is located at the Innsbrook Technical Center in Glen Allen , Virginia.
The facility provides work stations for Corporate , Federal and State officials who may be assembled at this location. This facility is the designated central collect i on point for the receipt and analys i s of all field monitoring data and the coordination of sample media. Plant data i s available from the PCS. The Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) is used to estimate offsite doses. 7.1.5 Joint Information Center and Local Media Center Official company statements to the med i a will be made from Joint Information Center (JIC) by the Chief Technical Spokesperson. The pr i mary JIC is located at the Virginia State Police Administrative Headquarters in Chesterfield , Virginia. These company statements are prepared at the CERC. A Local Media Center (LMC) may be act i vated as an ad j unct to the JIG. The Local Media Center for North Anna Power Station is located at the end of Route 700 on company property. The facility is designated as the North Anna Nuclear Information Center in normal operation.
There are dedicated rooms fo r Dominion , NRG , FEMA , State , and media r epresentatives as well as an auditorium that will accommodate 200 people. Provisions have been made to accommodate TV cameras , copying machines , typewriters , and other equipment needed for press conferences. Should the Local Med i a Center become un i nhabitable , small groups of the Media , no more than 20 , can be accommodated in the CERC with the approval of the Corporate Response Manager. 7.1.6 Alternate Facility When Under Threat or Experiencing Hostile Action The Louisa Fire Training Center functions as a staging area for augmentat i on of emergency response staff if the site is under threat of or experiencing host i le action. Th i s location has the capab i l i ty to communicate w i th the CERC , control room , and plant security. The CERC has the capability to perform offs i te notifications. The staff at the staging area , working with CERC organization , provides capability for engineering assessment activities , including damage control team planning and preparation. 7.1.7 Near-Site Location For Offsite Agency Coordination The North Anna Nuclear Information Center is the location fo r the NRC and other offsite agency staff to interact face-to-face with emergency response pe r sonnel entering and leaving the nuclear power reactor site. This area provides a conference area with whiteboards , separate areas suitable for briefing and debriefing response personnel , telephones , site contact lists , computers with internet access , access to a copier and office supplies , and access to plant data and radiological information.
These p r ovisions exist because the CERC is located more than 25 miles from the TSC.
7.2 COMMUNICATIONS
SYSTEMS NAEP Page 7.5 Revision # TBD The station communications system is designed to provide redundant means to communicate with all essential areas of the station associated with North Anna Units 1 and 2 and to essential locations remote from the station during normal operation and under accident conditions.
Communication systems vital to Units 1 and 2 operation and safety are designed so that failure of one component would not impair the reliability of the total communications system. This is accomplished within the Station by using diverse systems and designated personnel.
7.2.1 Communications
Systems Within the Station The systems which provide for communications within the Station are discussed below. 7.2.1.1 Public Address and Intercom System A five channel public address and intercom system (Gai-Tronics System) is installed in the Station. The system power is supplied from a power supply which will maintain the system in an operational condition in the event of a normal station service power failure. Zones are provided within that Station to insure operability of a major portion of the system should equipment in a zone become inoperative.
Loudspeaker and paging phone stations are located throughout the Station. The coverage of the loudspeakers permits broadcasts to be heard throughout the station. A visual indicator has been installed in those areas where evaluation of NRC Bulletin 79-18, Audibility Problems Encountered on Evacuation of Personnel from High-Noise Areas , identified noise levels which might exceed the volume of the loudspeakers. In the event of an emergency, the system is used to alert Station personnel of any emergency situation and to direct emergency response actions required of on-site personnel.
7.2.1.2 Radio Communications System (Onsite) An Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) two-way radio trunking system is provided at the Station consisting of base stations/repeaters, mobile units installed in emergency vehicles , and hand-held portable radios. The radio trunking system provides redundancy and independent emergency backup equipment for designated station functions.
7.2.1.3 Private Branch Telephone Exchange (PBX) A Private Branch Telephone Exchange (PBX) is installed at the Station. The PBX switching equipment is physically located in the PBX Build i ng and is connected to a commercial telephone exchange in Mineral, Virginia.
Backup battery power is provided to maintain the system operable 6 to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> following the loss of A.C. power. 7.2.1.4 Sound Powered Telephone System A sound powered telephone communications system is installed which serves North Anna Units 1 and 2. This system is a multiple channel system connect i ng selected operating areas of the plant. Headsets consisting of an earphone and microphone are connected to a two wire channel for direct communication between persons in different areas. Operation of this system is not dependent on the availability of the electrical power system. During an emergency , the system would provide an alternate means of relaying messages.
7.2.2 Offsite
Communications Systems NAEP Page 7.6 Revision # TBD Those systems provided fo r commun i cat i on between the Station and offsite are descr i bed below: 7.2.2.1 Commercial Telephone Commercial telephone lines are provided between the Stat i on and a commercial telephone exchange in Mineral , Virginia. These lines are connected into the Station PBX. In addition , lines are provided for communications between the Station and the commercial telephone network which are independent of the Station PBX. 7.2.2.2 Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Ring The SONET ring provides Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity , voice/Automatic Ring Down (ARD) phone and radio control circuits between stat i on emergency response facilities and the CERC , and the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Center (VEOC). The VEOC is linked to the SONET ring via a dedicated microwave facility.
The SONET ring and associated microwave facility provide the communication link from the VEOC to the Early Warning System (EWS) transmitter located at North Anna. The SON ET ring and associated microwave facility are DC powered with either battery back up o r generator back up at each location for extended operat i on upon loss of AC powe r. 7.2.2.3 Radio Communications System (Offsite)
The same UHF two-way radio trunking system that prov i des onsite commun i cations also prov i des for communications within a ten mile rad i us of the Stat i on. During an emergency , this system will allow direct contact with Radiation Monitoring Teams , Secur i ty veh i cles , and a separate channel (T alk Group) between the Secur i ty Central Alarm Stat i on and the Louisa County Sheriff's Department.
7.2.2.4 Dedicated NRC Communications Separate telephone lines are dedicated to the NRG and include the following:
- Emergency Not i fication System (ENS): The ENS is t he system on which ini t ial notifications , as well as ongoing information about plant systems , status and parameters , a r e provided to the NRG. ENS lines are located in the Control Room , TSC and CERC.
- Health Physics Network (HPN): Provides for communications regarding radiological and meteorological conditions , assessments , trends , and protect i ve measures. HPN lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
- Reactor Safety Counterpart Link (RSCL): Allows for internal NRG d i scuss i ons r egarding plant and equipment conditions. RSCL lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
- Protective Measures Counterpart Link (PMCL): Allows for the conduct of internal NRG d i scussions on radiological releases , meteorological condit i ons , and protective measures. PMCL lines are located in the TSC and CERC.

NAEP Page 7.7 Revision # TBD
- Management Counterpart Link (MCL): This system has been established for internal discussions between the NRG Executive Team Director/members and the NRG Director of Site Operations or licensee management.
MCL lines are located in the TSC and CERC.
- Local Area Network (LAN) Access: Provides access to the NRG local area network. Telephone jacks are provided in the TSC and CERC for NRG LAN access. 7.2.2.5 lnsta-Phone Loop A County and State Ringdown Loop (lnsta-Phone) has been installed that permits simultaneous telephone-speaker communications from the Station to the Counties of Louisa, Spotsylvania, Orange, Caroline , and Hanover and the VEOC on a 24-hour per day basis. This loop can be activated at the Station from the Control Room, TSC, or CERC. 7.2.3 Communications System Reliability A failure of one communication system will not affect the operation of other communications systems at the station. The communications systems within the Station have diverse power supplies. The public address system has an emergency backup, and the sound powered phone system does not rely on any station power system. Since the onsite communication systems normally will be in use , or periodically tested , equipment failure will not go unnoticed.
The multiplicity of onsite communications networks ensures the availability of adequate communications.
Equipment for these systems is located in different areas of the Station thus ensuring that an accident in one area of the Station would not incapacitate all communication systems. Failure of normal power supplies will not deprive the station of offsite communication capability since, in most cases, backup power is provided.
Dedicated telephone lines are checked according to specified schedules. 7.2.4 Emergency Response Facility Communications The communication systems discussed above are used extensively in the Emergency response facilities. A summary of the types of communications is provided in Table 7.1. 7.3 ASSESSMENT FACILITIES AVAILABLE ONSITE A number of instrumentation and monitoring systems are available onsite for emergency assessments. These systems are described below. 7.3.1 Seismic Monitoring The Seismic Monitoring System is designed to detect the occurrence of an earthquake at the North Anna site, to alert the Control Room via panel indications and annunciation, and to provide records of the intensity , duration , and frequency of the earthquake.
Detection devices are located in several locations , including the Unit 1 Containment , Auxiliary Building , and a free-field sensor at the meteorological tower. The system collects information related to the ground motion experienced which is used to promptly determine the response of those structures important to safety to permit comparison of such response with that used as the design basis.
7 .3.2 Radiological Monitoring NAEP Page 7.8 Revision # TBD The installed Radiation Monitoring System (RMS) consists of process monitors and area monitors which read out and record in the Control Room. The process system continuously monitors selected lines for radioactive effluents.
The system's function is to warn personnel of increasing radiation levels , to give early warning of a system malfunction , and to record and control discharges of radioactive liquids and gases to the environment.
High range process monitors are installed to provide accurate indication of plant releases during and following an accident.
The flow paths monitored include the ventilation vents , the process vent (part of the Gaseous Waste System), the main steam lines, and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump exhaust. High range area monitors , located inside the containments, are installed to provide additional information on core integrity during and after a design basis accident.
In addition to the fixed radiation monitoring equipment , portable radiation monitoring equipment would be used to perform dose assessments. The equipment consists of low and high range instruments to measure gamma , alpha , beta , and neutron radiation.
This equipment is maintained by the Radiological Protection Department and is used on a routine basis. Portable gamma detection instrument are also dedicated for emergency kit use (See Appendix 10.5). The kits are set aside solely for emergency use and are inventoried and checked for calibration and operability on a quarterly basis. Portable equipment is also available to take low or high volume air samples. Battery operated air samplers can be used to collect low volume samples either onsite or offsite. Silver Zeolite cartridges would be used for sampling radioiodine with a minimum detectable activity capability of 5X1 o-8 microcuries per cc. Silver Zeolite has a low retention efficiency tor Xenon and therefore, interference should be minimal. Plastic bags and bottles are available to collect water , soil , foodstuffs or other samples. Emergency Plan Implementing Procedures provide the methodology for determining the magnitude of a release by three separate and independent methods: (1) using data or samples continuously obtained by the onsite Radiation Monitoring System , (2) using known inventory data for the system(s) affected and (3) obtaining offsite data from air samplers or dosimeters which are continuously in place , or taking radiation surveys and appropriate samples , and using this data to calculate releases.
Equipment designated for use in environmental surveillance such as air samplers and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) is used to obtain oftsite data. The radiological monitoring instrumentation and sampling devices used by the station meet the minimum requirements of the NRG Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position for Environmental Radiological Monitoring Programs.
Two TLDs have been placed in each of the 16 sectors within an approximate 5 mile radius of the station for environmental monitoring. Eight (8) TLDs are located beyond five miles from the station and are used to establish normal background radiation levels. Further details can be found in VPAP-2103N , Offsite Dose Calculat i on Manual (North Anna). The State also has TLD monitoring points located around the Station used for verification purposes. Dosimetry and air sampler locations within the 10 mile EPZ are shown on Figures 7.1 and 7.2.
NAEP Page 7.9 Revision # TBD North Anna maintains fixed laborato r y equipmen t t o support samp l ing analys i s and monitoring.
The equ i pment i ncludes Multichannel Analyzers , proportional counters , a tritium analyzer , and whole body counters; arrangements are maintained for reading TLDs. 7.3.3 Meteorological Monitoring The station's Meteorological Monitoring System provides the capabil i ty for p r edicting atmospheric effluent transport and diffusion.
The sys t em consists of a primary and a backup tower , the locations of which were chosen so as to be representative of regional conditions. Instruments located at these towers prov i de data to MIDAS via the PCS. The data is also transmitted to the Control Room and to the company's Weather Center. Table 7.2 prov i des a listing of the parameters measured. The meteorological equipment was designed to meet the criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.23 , " On Site Meteorological Programs" , dated February 1972. 7.3.4 Plant Process Parameter Monitoring Installed i n the Control Room are the necessary instrumentation readouts to assess stat i on status under all conditions.
Information is available from meter displays , chart recorders , annunciators, and the plant process computers to assist the operator in contending w i th accident conditions. In order to support the data acquisitions need of the emergency r esponse facilities , the PCS has been installed. The PCS provides plant monitoring , data acquisition , and critical plant data in the form of real-time status displays for the purpose of making a rapid eva l uation of the reactor plant's safety status. The PCS includes the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGs), process and instrument displays , and pressure-temperature plant displays.
Monitor disp l ays a r e cont i nuously updated by the computer systems as they collect and process parametr i c data from the various plant sensors. The PCS host computers are housed in the TSC. These units process inputs from plant sensors and distribute information via the station LAN and corporate Wide Area Network (WAN). The information is available any LAN/WAN-connected PC which has the appropriate software and secur i ty level for access, including the Control Room , TSC , and CERC. 7.3.5 Fire Detection The Station's Fire Protection System is designed to furn i sh water and other extinguishing agents with the capability of extinguishing any single or probable combinat i on of s i multaneous fires that might occur. Smoke and heat detectors are utilized for fire detection resulting i n automatic fire suppression initiation and/or alarming.
These systems are designed in accordance with the standards of the National Fire Protection Association.
7.3.6 Post Accident Sampling A contingency plan , controlled by normal Chemistry procedures , has been developed for obtaining and analyzing highly radioact i ve samples of reactor coolant , containment sump , and conta i nment atmosphere. (Reference NRC Letter , Subjec t: North Anna Power Stat i on , Un i ts 1 and 2 -Issuance of Amendments Re: Elimination of Post-Accident Sampl i ng System Requirements , dated December 19 , 2001 , Serial No.01-760)

9.0 RECOVERY
NAEP Page 9.2 R ev i s i o n# TBD The recovery process will be managed by a spec i al , designated organization composed of Dominion personnel.
The recovery organization is described in F i gure 9.1. The basic organization may be modified , as required , to address the needs of the given situation. The Technical Support Manager assumes control and direction of the recovery operation with the authority and responsibilities for implementating and admin i stering the recovery plan and organization.
Responsibilities of the recovery organization include defining recovery objectives , developing a plan to accomplish these objectives , establishing controls and anticipating potential complications , monitoring the recovery effort and adjusting the plan accordingly , and evaluating accomplishments against the designated objectives.
The recovery process is implemented when the Corporate Response Manager , Technical Support Manager and the Station Emergency Manager , with concurrence of State and Federal agencies , have determined the station to be in a stable and controlled condition. Upon the determination , the NRG Operations Center , the Virginia Emergency Operations Center , and the local Emergency Operations Centers will be notified that the emergency has been terminated and any requ i red recovery has commenced.
9.1 RECOVERY
METHODOLOGY The Recovery organization will develop plans and procedures designed to address both immediate and long term actions. The necessity to mainta i n protective measures implemented during the emergency will be evaluated and , if deemed appropriate , the Recovery organization will recommend relaxat i on of the protective measures.
The following conditions shall be considered appropriate for the recommendation to relax protection measures.
- a. Station parameters of operation no longer indicate a potential or actual emergency exists. b. The release of radioactivity from the Station is controllable , no longer exceeds permissible levels and does not p r esent a credible danger to the public. c. The Station is capable of sustaining itself in a long term shutdown condition.
Because it is not possible to foresee all of the consequences of an event , specific recove r y procedures may need to be written to address specialized requirements. Normal practices will be followed to the furthest extent possible with regard to maintenance , repair , modification , decontamination , and radiat i on exposure control activities.
Where possible , existing station procedures w i ll be utilized in the areas of operations , maintenance and radiological controls.
Any special recovery procedures will requi r e the same review and approval process accorded other station procedures and , as such , will require the approval of the Facility Safety Review Committee (FSRC). Recovery plan objectives and associated schedules will be per i odically evaluated and modified , if necessary , to accommodate changing circumstances.
Provisions to review , priorit i ze , coord i nate and proceduralize recovery activ i ties (e.g., repair , maintenance , modification , and decontamination) w i ll also be addressed.
The recovery organization addresses planning and coordination of the recovery effort (in cooperation w i th governmental officials , when NAEP Page 9.3 R e vision # TBD required). Federal and state agencies may augment the recovery organization and participate in establishing recovery objectives. 9.2 POPULATION EXPOSURE Total population doses shall be periodically estimated in the affected sectors and zones utilizing population distribution data from within the emergency planning zones. Station personnel initially determine Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) due to external exposure from airborne material , external exposure from ground deposition , and internal exposure due to inhalation.
Initial calculations are also performed for determination of Thyroid Committed Dose Equivalent (COE) resulting from inhalation of radioiodines. The methodology used is consistent with that presented in EPA-400-R-92-001, MANUAL OF PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDES AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR NUCLEAR INCIDENTS. Determination of total population doses will be performed utilizing the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) computer code or equivalent , and will include assessments of exposure received from (but not necessarily limited to) immersion , inhalation, ground shine , and ingestion of radioactive materials.
