1.0 INTRODUCTION

In accordancewiththeprovisionof10CFR50.90,Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.(DNC)is submittingalicense amendmentrequesttochangethe Millstone Power Station EmergencyPlanfor Millstone Units 1,2,and3andthe Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation(ISFSI)atthe MillstonePowerStation. The proposedchangereplacesthe emergencyplanpositionof Emergency Medical Technician(EMT)witha licenseefirstaidteam.Thischangeis consistentwiththe planning standards and evaluationcriterionof NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,Revision1, Section 11.0.3.Theplan,aschanged,would continuetomeetthe standardsin10CFR 50.47(b)andthe requirements in AppendixEto10CFR50.DNChasreviewedthe proposed change in accordancewith10CFR50.54(q),and, although the proposed change meets regulatory standardsandrequirements,has determined this change will decrease the effectivenessoftheexistingapproved emergency plan.2.0 BACKGROUND Millstone Power Station EmergencyPlanTable5-1,Station Emergency Response Organization, combinesthemajor functionalareasof firefightingandthe first-aid portionofRescue OperationsandFirst-Aid.Theplan currently specifies emergency medical trainingfortheFireBrigadeattheEMTlevel.RequiringtrainingatEMTlevel represents an overcommitmentwithrespectto regulatory standards and requirements.TheFire Brigade was reorganizedin2007frombeinga separateentitytobeingan Operations Departmentfunction.TrainingforthereorganizedFire Brigadedoesnot require maintenanceofEMT qualifications;however,the requirementsofthe Emergency Plan continuetobemetusing personnelwithEMT qualifications.

3.0 PROPOSED

CHANGES The proposed changereplacesthe emergencyplanpositionofEMTwitha licensee firstaidteam,whichis consistentwiththeplanning standards and evaluation criterion of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,Revision1,Section 11.0.3.Theplan,aschanged,would continue to meet the standardsin10CFR50.47(b)andthe requirements in Appendix Eto10CFR50.See Attachment2-Proposed Change To Millstone Power Station Emergency Plan.Discussion of Change The proposed changewillreplace referencetoanEMTwith referencetoa licensee firstaidteaminthe TableofContents, Sections5,5.1.10,5.1.11,Table5.1, Sections 6.5" 6.5.4,7.11,8.1.3.b,8.1.3.c,andAppendixA. SerialNo.09-614 Attachment 1Page2of6ONChasreviewedthischangein accordancewith10CFR50.54(q),andhas determinedthatalthoughtheproposedchangemeetsregulatory standards and requirements,thechangewill decrease the effectivenessoftheexistingplanandrequirespriorapprovalbeforeimplementation.The determination in decrease of effectivenessisbasedsolelyontherelative qualification requirementsbetweenanEMTtrainedindividualandonetrainedtobepartofafirstaidteam,whichisthe regulatorystandard.Thereisnoreductioninfunctional capabilitywithrespecttothe regulatory standard.ThePlant Equipment Operators(PEOs)onallunitoperatingshiftshave completed theMedicFirstAidtrainingprogram-"BasicPlus-CPR,AEOandFirstAidfor Adults."

ReferencetoEMTrepresentsan overcommitmentwithrespectto regulatory standardsandrequirements.Theproposedchangesare consistentwiththe planning standardsandevaluationcriteriaofNUREG 0654/FEMA-REP-1Revision1, Section 11.0.3,whichspecify"trainingforindividualsassignedtolicenseefirstaidteamsshallincludecourses equivalenttoRedCross Multi-Media."Theplan,aschanged, would continuetomeetthe standardsin10CFR50.47(b)andthe requirements in AppendixEto10CFR50.

5.0 REGULATORY

ANALYSIS RegulatoryGuide1.101"EmergencyPlanningand Preparedness for Nuclear PowerReactors",Revision5,July2005,providesthemethodstheNRC staff considers SerialNo.09-1614 Attachment 1Page3of6 acceptable for complyingwiththe requirements in AppendixEto10CFR50andthe planning standardsin10CFR50.47(b)thatmustbemetin onsite and offsite emergency responseplans.ThesecriteriaprovideabasisforNRC licenseesandStateandlocal governments to develop acceptable radiological emergencyplansand improve emergencypreparedness.RegulatoryGuide1.101 endorsestheuseof NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,"CriteriaforPreparationand Evaluation of Radiological Emergency ResponsePlansand Preparedness in Support of NuclearPowerPlants." Regulatory Issue Summary(RIS)2005-02,ClarifyingtheProcessforMaking EmergencyPlanChanges, provides a framework for determining whether a change to an emergency preparedness requirement constitutes a decrease in effectiveness. A changethatwould degrade the capabilitytoperformafunctionorrelaxthetime requirementsofaffected emergency preparedness requirements is considered a decrease in effectiveness,evenifthe regulatory requirementsaremetbythechange.10CFR 50.47(b)states"Theonsiteand, exceptasprovidedin paragraph(d)ofthis section, offsite emergencyresponseplansfor nuclearpowerreactorsmust meet the following standards:"Item15ofthese standards states: "Radiological emergency response trainingisprovidedtothosewhomaybecalledonto assistinan emergency." NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1,SectionII,"Planning Standards and Evaluation Criteria," items 11.0.3 and 11.0.4 addressthe10CFR 50.47(b)(15) planning standard.11.0.3 specifiesthetypeoftrainingtobeprovidedto licenseefirstaidteam memberswhomaybecalledonto assistinan emergency as: "11.0.3: Training for individuals assigned to licenseefirstaidteamsshallincludecourses equivalenttoRedCross Multi-Media." Item 11.0.4 specifies categoriesoftrainingtobeprovidedinatrainingprogramfor instructing and qualifying personnelwhowill implement radiological emergency response plans.Item11.0.4.f specifies:"Firstaidandrescue personnel"asoneofthese categories. Additionally, the followingthree10CFR50.47(b) standards and their associated NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1 evaluationcriteriawere evaluated with respecttothis proposed change:*Emergencyplanningstandard10CFR 50.47(b)(2)states,inpart: "On-shift facility licensee responsibilities for emergency response are unambiguously defined, adequatestaffingtoprovideinitialfacility accident responseinkey functionalareasis maintainedatalltimes,..."Items 11.8.1 and 11.8.5 specify on-shift emergency organization responsibilitiesandduties.

  • Emergencyplanningstandard10CFR 50.47(b)(12) states: "Arrangementsaremadeformedicalservicesfor contaminated injured individuals." Item 11.L.2 specifies provisionsforon-sitefirstaidcapability.
  • Emergency planningstandard10CFR 50.47(b)(14)states,inpart: "Periodicdrillsare(willbe) conducted to develop and maintainkeyskills,and deficienciesidentifiedasaresultof exercisesordrillsare(willbe) corrected."

No Significant Hazards ConsiderationONChas evaluated whetherornota significant hazards consideration(SHC)is warrantedwiththeproposedchangesbyaddressingthethreecriterionsetforthin1 (ICFR50.92(c)as discussed below.Criterion 1:Doestheproposed amendmentinvolvea significantincreaseinthe probability or consequencesofan accident previously evaluated?Response:No.ThesechangesaffecttheMillstonePowerStation EmergencyPlananddonot alter anyofthe requirementsoftheOperatingLicenseorthe Technical Specifications.

The proposed changesdonotmodifyanyplant equipmentanddonotimpactanyfailuremodesthatcouldleadtoanaccident.Additionally,theproposedchangeshavenoeffectonthe consequenceofanyanalyzed accidentsincethechangesdonotaffect any equipmentrelatedto accidentmitigation.Basedonthis discussion,theproposed amendmentdoesnotincreasethe probability or consequencesofan accident previously evaluated. Criterion 2:Doestheproposed amendmentcreatethepossibilityofanewor differentkindof accidentfromany accident previously evaluated?

Criterion 3:Doestheproposed amendmentinvolveasignificantreductioninamarginofsafety?Response:No.ThesechangesaffecttheMillstonePowerStationEmergencyPlananddonotalteranyofthe requirementsoftheOperatingLicenseortheTechnicalSpecifications.Theproposedchangesdonotaffectanyoftheassumptionsusedinthe accident analysis,nordotheyaffectanyoperabilityrequirementsfor equipmentimportanttoplantsafety.Therefore,theproposedchangeswillnotresultina significantreductioninthemarginofsafetyasdefinedinthebasesfortechnical specificationscoveredinthislicense amendment request.Insummary,ONCconcludesthattheproposed amendmentdoesnotrepresenta significanthazardsconsiderationunderthestandardssetforthin10CFR50.92(c).

6.0 Environmental

ConsiderationONChas determinedthattheproposed amendmentwouldnotchange requirementswithrespecttouseofafacilitycomponentlocatedwithintherestrictedarea,asdefinedby10CFR20,norwoulditchangeinspectionorsurveillancerequirements.ONChasevaluatedtheproposedchangeandhasdeterminedthatthechangedoesnot involve:I.A SignificantHazardsConsideration.II.A significantchangeinthetypesor significantincreaseintheamountsofany effluentthatmaybereleasedoffsite,orIII.A significantincreaseinindividualorcumulative occupationalradiationexposure. Serial No.09-1314 Attachment 1 Page 6 of 6 Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forthin10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10)(ii).Therefore, pursuantto10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connectionwiththe proposed amendment.
